Description of the Related Art An ionized water producing apparatus is provided with a negative and positive electrode in a electrolytic cell through a diaphragm, and the supplied water is electrolyzed and electroosmotically activated by energizing the electrodes to supply alkaline ionized water to a cathode chamber. Generate acidic ionized water in the anode chamber. However, the raw water supplied, such as tap water, contains calcium, magnesium, and other hardness components, and if used continuously, scales such as calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate will adhere and accumulate on the cathode electrode over time. , Electrolytic capacity is gradually reduced. For this reason, conventionally, the back polarity is reversed by reversing the energizing polarity at every predetermined use time, but if the back wash time is short with respect to the scale adhesion amount, the stain cannot be sufficiently removed. Also, when the backwashing time becomes long, the electrode is consumed due to anodic dissolution, and since the required ionized water cannot be generated during this washing time, there is a drawback that the operating rate of the apparatus decreases as the washing time becomes longer. .

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an electrolytic cell, to which raw water is supplied from a water supply port 1a, alkaline ionized water is discharged from a discharge port 1b, and acidic ionized water is discharged from a discharge port 1c. Reference numeral 2 is a diaphragm (permeation membrane) that divides the electrolytic cell 1 into two parts. The cathode electrode 3 is inserted into the divided cathode chamber, and the anode electrode 4 is inserted into the anode chamber.

As a result, alkaline ionized water can be generated in the cathode chamber and acidic ionized water can be generated in the anode chamber.
Each can be taken out from the discharge ports 1b and 1c and used. During the electrolytic action, the vibration of the giant magnetostrictive material 5 that vibrates by the high frequency excitation of the coil 6 propagates and vibrates in the cathode electrode 3, and the electrode 3 performs electrolytic action while constantly vibrating ultrasonically. For this reason, scale is prevented from adhering to the surface of the electrode 3 during generation of ionized water by electrolysis of water, and the active state is maintained for a long period of time without lowering electrolysis efficiency to continuously produce highly efficient ionized water. Can be generated.
