Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a multifunctional foaming device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, many foaming devices on the market only have simple foaming functions, failing to meet the diverse needs of consumers. Furthermore, many bubble generators on the market utilize the Venturi principle to produce bubbles that mix with liquids, but because the generated bubbles are too large, they disappear instantly, failing to achieve the desired sterilization and cleaning effects. There are also some devices on the market that generate microbubbles, but most require pressurized water pumps and air pumps as power sources, making them more complex to implement, and resulting in larger product sizes and higher costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional foaming device.

[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a multifunctional aerator, comprising a water inlet connector, an air inlet control component, and a bubble cutting component. The bubble cutting component is located at the rear end of the water inlet connector. The water inlet connector includes a water inlet channel and an air inlet hole. The air inlet hole is selectively connected to the air inlet control component, enabling the aerator to operate in one of three modes: microbubble water output mode, ordinary bubble water output mode, or transparent columnar water output mode. When the ratio of water volume in the water inlet channel to air volume in the air inlet control component is greater than 80 times, the air-water mixture is cut by the bubble cutting component to form a microbubble water output mode. When the ratio of water volume in the water inlet channel to air volume in the air inlet control component is less than 80 times, the air-water mixture is cut by the bubble cutting component to form an ordinary bubble water output mode. When the air volume in the air inlet control component is zero, the air-water mixture is rectified by the bubble cutting component to form the transparent columnar water output mode.

[0005] Preferably, the water inlet channel includes a first water inlet channel and a second water inlet channel, the water inlet cross-sectional area of ​​the second water inlet channel is larger than that of the first water inlet channel, and the air inlet hole is provided at the position corresponding to the second water inlet channel.

[0006] Preferably, the number of the first water inlet channels is greater than or equal to one, and the total water inlet cross-sectional area of ​​the first water inlet channels is less than the water inlet cross-sectional area of ​​the second water inlet channel.

[0007] Preferably, the air intake control component includes a knob, a mounting base, and an air intake seat. The knob is sleeved on the outer periphery of the mounting base and has a first vent and a second vent. The mounting base has a first air intake pad and a second air intake pad, and the air intake seat has an air intake groove. The first vent, the first air intake pad, the air intake groove, and the air intake vent cooperate to form a first air intake channel. The second vent, the second air intake pad, and the air intake vent cooperate to form a second air intake channel. The first air intake channel cooperates with the water inlet channel to form the microbubble water output mode, and the second air intake channel cooperates with the water inlet channel to form the ordinary bubble water output mode.

[0008] Preferably, the peripheral side of the fixing base is also provided with a ball and a spring, and the inner side of the knob is provided with a groove, which can cooperate with the ball to work.

[0009] Preferably, the bubble cutting assembly includes at least two sets of filter assemblies, with a gap between each set of filter assemblies.

[0010] Preferably, the filter assembly consists of at least one 50-200 mesh filter.

[0011] Preferably, a sealing ring is provided between the water inlet connector and the air inlet seat, and between the air inlet seat and the fixed seat.

[0012] The multifunctional foaming device of this invention has a simple structure, occupies little space, and has low cost. Users can freely switch between microbubble water, ordinary bubble water, and transparent columnar water, which is very convenient. The microbubbles generated by this multifunctional foaming device can adsorb stains and impurities in the water, and they have a long residence time in the water, thus achieving efficient stain removal. Furthermore, the microbubbles form charged nuclei during the rising and bursting process, which have natural physical bactericidal capabilities and can play a good bactericidal role.

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Reference manual attached Figure 1 To be continued Figures 5A-5C A multifunctional bubble generator includes a water inlet connector 1, an air inlet seat 2, a bubble cutting assembly 3, a fixing seat 4, a housing 5, and a knob 6. The fixing seat 4 is placed inside the housing 5. A first sealing ring a1 is provided between the water inlet connector 1 and the air inlet seat 2, and a second sealing ring a2 is provided between the air inlet seat 2 and the fixing seat 4 to ensure the reliability of the microbubble generator's seal. In addition, the bubble cutting assembly 3 is placed at the rear end of the water inlet connector 1. The bubble cutting assembly 3 includes at least two sets of filter screen assemblies 31, each set of filter screen assemblies 31 consisting of at least one 50-200 mesh filter screen, and each set of filter screen assemblies 31 has a gap between them. With this bubble cutting assembly, large bubbles in the gas-water mixture can be cut into micro-nano-level microbubbles, which is very convenient.

[0023] Specifically, the water inlet connector 1 has a water inlet channel 11 and an air inlet hole 12. The water inlet channel 11 includes a first water inlet channel 11a and a second water inlet channel 11b. The water inlet cross-sectional area of ​​the second water inlet channel 11b is larger than that of the first water inlet channel 11a. The air inlet hole 12 is disposed on the side wall of the water inlet connector 1 and is disposed at a position corresponding to the second water inlet channel 11b, that is, the air inlet hole 12 is disposed at a position where the water inlet cross-sectional area of ​​the water inlet channel is larger. Preferably, there are multiple first water inlet channels 11a, and the sum of the water inlet cross-sectional areas of these multiple first water inlet channels 11a is less than the water inlet cross-sectional area of ​​the second water inlet channel 11b.

[0024] The aforementioned mounting base 4 is connected to the outer shell 5. A first air inlet cushion 4a and a second air inlet cushion 4b are provided on the outer periphery of the mounting base 4. Specifically, the mounting base 4 has two through holes 41, and the first air inlet cushion 4a and the second air inlet cushion 4b are respectively disposed in the two through holes 41. The first or second air inlet cushions have holes p in the middle, which can provide corresponding channels for gas communication. Furthermore, a ball bearing 43 and a spring 44 are also provided on the periphery of the mounting base 4. One end of the spring 44 abuts against the mounting base 4, and the other end abuts against the ball bearing 43. The aforementioned knob 6 is sleeved on the outside of the fixed base 4. The knob 6 has a first vent hole 61 and a second vent hole 62. These first and second vent holes 61 and 62 respectively cooperate with the first and second air inlet pads 4a or 4b to achieve different functions of water flow. At the same time, the inner side of the knob 6 has several grooves 63. During the rotation of the knob 6, these grooves 63 can cooperate with the aforementioned ball 43 to help the user intuitively feel whether the knob has been rotated to the correct position, which is very convenient.

[0025] The aforementioned air inlet seat 2 is sleeved and connected to the outer periphery of the water inlet connector 1, and the top of the air inlet seat 2 is provided with several air inlet grooves 21. The air inlet grooves 21 cooperate with the aforementioned first vent 61, the hole p of the first air inlet pad and the air inlet through hole 12 to form a first air inlet channel b1, which then cooperates with various components to form microbubble water. Preferably, the rear end of the fixed seat 4 is provided with several cutting ribs. These cutting ribs are located at the bottom of the water outlet of the aforementioned bubble cutting component 3. These cutting ribs have the function of cutting bubbles, and at the same time can make the flowing water pattern more full and uniform.

[0026] The multifunctional aerator of this invention can switch between microbubble and non-microbubble modes. When the ratio of the inlet water cross-sectional area to the inlet air cross-sectional area is greater than 80 times, the mixed liquid is further cut by the bubble cutting component to form microbubble water; when the inlet air cross-sectional area is zero, the water flow is rectified by the bubble cutting component to form transparent columnar water; when the ratio of the inlet water cross-sectional area to the inlet air cross-sectional area is less than 80 times, ordinary bubble water is formed. In other words, different functional water outputs are achieved by controlling the amount of air intake. (See attached diagram) Figure 5AWhen the multifunctional aerator is in microbubble water output mode, the ratio of its water inlet cross-sectional area to its air inlet cross-sectional area is greater than 80 times, meaning the ratio of its water intake to air intake is greater than 80 times. Water flows from the first water inlet channel 11a into the second water inlet channel 11b. Simultaneously, gas enters the second water inlet channel 11b through the first air intake channel b1 formed by the first air vent 61, the hole p of the first air inlet pad, the air inlet groove 21, and the air inlet through hole 12, for gas-water mixing. The gas-water mixture is then cut by the filter assembly 31 of the bubble cutting component, breaking large bubbles in the gas-water mixture into micro-nano-level microbubbles. Because these microbubbles can adsorb stains and impurities in the water and have a long residence time in the water, they can effectively remove stains and dirt. Furthermore, during the rising and bursting process, the microbubbles form charged nuclei, possessing natural physical bactericidal capabilities, thus achieving excellent bactericidal effects. (See attached diagram) Figure 5B When the user rotates knob 6, the multi-functional aerator is in normal sparkling water function. The connection between the hole p of the first air inlet cushion and the first vent 61 is blocked, while the hole p of the second air inlet cushion is connected to the second vent 62. The ratio of its water inlet cross-sectional area to its air inlet cross-sectional area is less than 80 times, that is, the ratio of its water inlet volume to its air inlet volume is less than 80 times. The gas passes through the second air inlet channel b2 formed by the second vent 62, the hole p of the second air inlet cushion, and the air inlet hole 12 in sequence, and enters the second water inlet channel 11b for gas-water mixing, thus forming normal sparkling water. See attached diagram. Figure 5C When the user selects knob 6 again, the multi-functional bubble device is in the transparent columnar water function. The connection between the hole p of the first air inlet cushion and the vent 61 is blocked, and the connection between the hole p of the second air inlet cushion and the second vent 62 is also blocked. The air intake cross-sectional area is zero (air intake volume is zero), and gas cannot enter the water inlet channel. The water flow is rectified by the bubble cutting component 3 to form transparent columnar water. The multi-functional bubble device of the present invention has a simple structure and low cost. It can freely switch between microbubble water, ordinary bubble water, and transparent columnar water. Users can choose freely according to their own usage scenarios, which is very convenient.
