Bubble water machine with explosion-proof linkage protection function

Abstract

The application discloses a bubble water machine with explosion-proof linkage protection function, which comprises an air-filling main machine and a water bottle assembly. A gas cylinder cavity is arranged on one side of the air-filling main machine, and a water bottle base is arranged on the other side of the air-filling main machine. A water bottle protection cylinder is arranged on the water bottle base, and the water bottle assembly is arranged in the water bottle protection cylinder. During air-filling, the air-filling operation is started only after the upper protection cover is moved downwards to be combined with the water bottle protection cylinder. When the inner cavity of the water bottle is over-pressured, the air-filling valve whistle is lifted to release pressure through the air-filling valve whistle, and a whistle sound is emitted, so that the explosion-proof linkage protection function is achieved. The water bottle protection cylinder and the upper protection cover prevent the water bottle from being exploded during air-filling. The combination of the upper protection cover and the water bottle protection cylinder is synchronously started with the air-filling of the carbon dioxide cylinder through a pressure rod linkage shaft rod and a linkage rod, so that the safety is greatly improved. Double insurance is realized through a low-pressure valve whistle and a high-pressure valve whistle. When overpressure occurs during air-filling, the whistle sound is emitted to remind the user to stop pressing, and automatic pressure release is realized.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a machine for making sparkling water, specifically to a sparkling water machine with explosion-proof linkage protection during inflation. Background Technology

[0002] A sparkling water maker is a machine that makes sparkling water. Sparkling water has a unique taste and is loved by many. Currently, most sparkling water on the market is artificially produced. In recent years, sparkling water has been considered a symbol of health and fashion. The basic working principle of a sparkling water maker is as follows: Pressing the valve of the gas cylinder containing carbon dioxide opens the valve, allowing carbon dioxide gas to enter the water bottle containing liquid. The carbon dioxide reacts with the water to produce edible carbonated water.

[0003] Existing sparkling water machines have the following problems:

[0004] 1. Traditional push-button gas cylinders require users to open them to fill water bottles. Due to the high pressure of carbon dioxide inside the cylinder, the pressing resistance is relatively large, and the loud noise when gas is released makes users hesitant to press the button to fill the cylinder.

[0005] 2. Traditional sparkling water machines, due to manual pressing for gas injection, do not allow for precise injection of the correct amount of gas each time, resulting in unstable gas pressure. Overpressure during injection may cause the water bottle to burst, which can cause fear among users.

[0006] 3. Traditional sparkling water machines have the problem of uncertain gas injection volume, which directly affects the taste of the finished sparkling water.

[0007] 4. Traditional sparkling water machines use plastic water bottles, which may be perceived as environmentally unfriendly, or some users may still have little trust in plastic water bottles.

[0008] 5. Traditional sparkling water machines inject carbon dioxide through a tube inserted into the top of the bottle. Due to the nature of carbon dioxide gas, the gas will naturally rise, resulting in insufficient carbon dioxide being incorporated into the water at the bottom of the bottle.

[0009] 6. Traditional sparkling water machines require removing the water bottle from the machine before operation, which causes the gas in the bottle to escape, resulting in a poorer taste of the water. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The purpose of this invention is to address the deficiencies and shortcomings of the prior art by providing a sparkling water machine that prevents glass bottles from shattering during inflation.

[0011] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a sparkling water machine with explosion-proof linkage protection function, which includes an inflation unit and a water bottle assembly, with a gas cylinder chamber on one side of the inflation unit and a water bottle base on the other side of the inflation unit.

[0012] A water bottle protective sleeve is provided on the water bottle base, and the water bottle assembly is installed inside the water bottle protective sleeve; a gas cylinder outlet seat is provided at the top of the gas cylinder cavity, and the gas outlet on the side of the gas cylinder outlet seat is connected to the bottom of the water bottle assembly through a pressure-resistant gas pipe; a high-pressure gas cylinder is screwed onto the bottom of the gas cylinder outlet seat, and an outlet valve rod is provided inside the gas cylinder outlet seat. An outlet pressure rod is hinged above the gas cylinder outlet seat. The movable end of the outlet pressure rod can rotate downward to drive the outlet valve rod to press down and open the high-pressure gas cylinder, so as to inflate the water bottle assembly.

[0013] The water bottle protective tube is equipped with an upper protective cover that can move up and down. The upper protective cover moves down to cover the water bottle protective tube. The upper protective cover has a lower pressure plate on its side wall. A pressure rod linkage shaft is provided on the side of the gas cylinder cavity. The pressure rod linkage shaft is located below the lower pressure plate and has a gap with the lower pressure plate. The pressure rod linkage shaft is linked to the movable end of the gas outlet pressure rod through a linkage rod. When the upper protective cover is completely covered with the water bottle protective tube, the lower pressure plate simultaneously presses down the pressure rod linkage shaft. Through the linkage of the linkage rod, the gas outlet pressure rod is driven to rotate downward.

[0014] The water bottle assembly includes a bottle cap, a glass bottle body, and a bottle bottom. Inside the bottle cap, there is an inflation valve whistle, a valve whistle spring, and a spring adjustment cap. When the inner cavity of the water bottle is over-pressurized, the inflation valve whistle can be lifted to release air and pressure, and at the same time, a whistle sound is emitted.

[0015] The water bottle protective tube is provided with an upper protective cover above it, and a guide post is provided on the side of the upper protective cover. The gas cylinder cavity is provided with a vertical guide groove, and the upper protective cover can move up and down in the vertical direction.

[0016] The inflation valve is provided in two sets: a low-pressure valve and a high-pressure valve. The spring force of the high-pressure valve is greater than that of the low-pressure valve.

[0017] The bottle cap is equipped with a constant pressure valve assembly, which includes a constant pressure valve stem, a constant pressure adhesive valve fitted at the bottom of the constant pressure valve stem, a constant pressure spring above the constant pressure adhesive valve, and a valve stem cap at the top of the constant pressure valve stem that can push the constant pressure valve stem downward.

[0018] The water bottle protective tube has a protective tube base at the bottom, which is hinged to the water bottle base. The bottom surface of the protective tube base is inclined, so that the water bottle protective tube can be flipped outward to the side away from the gas cylinder cavity.

[0019] The protective cylinder base is provided with a slider groove, a positioning slider and a slider spring are provided in the slider groove, and a positioning block is provided on the water bottle base. The positioning block has a positioning hole for the positioning slider lock head to be inserted into the positioning hole.

[0020] The bottom of the water bottle protective tube is provided with an air inlet valve assembly, which includes an air inlet that connects to a pressure-resistant air pipe and an air outlet pipe, with an air outlet hole provided on the air outlet pipe.

[0021] The intake valve assembly is provided with a pressure relief pipe on its side, and an intake valve whistle, an intake valve spring, and an intake valve adjusting cap are installed inside the pressure relief pipe.

[0022] An air inlet seat is provided inside the bottom of the bottle. The air inlet seat can be fitted onto the air outlet pipe of the air inlet valve assembly. A one-way valve is also installed inside the air inlet seat.

[0023] An atomizing plate is installed above the air intake seat.

[0024] This invention provides a water bottle protector and upper protective cover to prevent the water bottle from bursting during inflation. Through a pressure rod, linkage shaft, and linkage rod, the closing of the upper protective cover and the water bottle protector can be synchronized with the inflation of the carbon dioxide cylinder, greatly improving safety. A double safety system is implemented using low-pressure and high-pressure valve whistles. If overpressure occurs during inflation, a whistle will sound to remind the user to stop pressing, and automatic pressure relief will occur. An intake valve whistle is installed on the intake valve assembly to warn of potential explosions caused by blockage in the inflation line. By adding a constant pressure valve assembly to the water bottle cap assembly, the internal pressure of the water bottle is maintained within a safe range after the user removes the bottle, ensuring an optimal gas content for the best taste.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention is a sparkling water machine with explosion-proof linkage protection function. It includes an inflation host 100 and a water bottle assembly 300. On one side of the inflation host 100 is a gas cylinder cavity 110, and on the other side of the inflation host 100 is a water bottle base 320 seat 120. The water bottle assembly 300 is installed on the water bottle base 320 seat 120.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, a gas cylinder outlet seat 111 is provided at the top of the gas cylinder cavity 110. A high-pressure gas cylinder 114, containing carbon dioxide, is screwed onto the bottom of the gas cylinder outlet seat 111. An outlet valve rod 115 is provided inside the gas cylinder outlet seat 111. When the outlet valve rod 115 is pressed down, it can open the high-pressure gas cylinder 114, and the gas in the high-pressure gas cylinder 114 can start to be released through the pressure-resistant gas pipe 113 on the side of the gas cylinder outlet seat 111. An outlet pressure rod 117 is hinged above the gas cylinder outlet seat 111. The outlet pressure rod 117 is located above the outlet valve rod 115. The movable end of the outlet pressure rod 117 can rotate downward to drive the outlet valve rod 115 to press down. A return spring 116 is supported between the outlet pressure rod 117 and the gas cylinder outlet seat 111. When no other external force is applied to the movable end of the outlet pressure rod 117, the outlet pressure rod 117 returns to its original position upward. At this time, the pressure of the high-pressure gas cylinder 114 can also push the outlet valve rod 115 upward to reset, so that the high-pressure gas cylinder 114 is resealed. The bottom of the gas cylinder outlet seat 111 is provided with a gas cylinder guide ring 112, which is funnel-shaped with a specific arc, so as to facilitate the quick insertion of the high-pressure gas cylinder 114.

[0037] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, a water bottle protective tube 200 and a protective tube base 210 are provided on the water bottle base 320 seat 120, and the water bottle assembly 300 is placed inside the water bottle protective tube 200. The protective tube base 210 is hinged to the water bottle base 320 seat 120, and the bottom surface of the protective tube base 210 is inclined, so that the water bottle protective tube 200 can be flipped outward away from the gas cylinder cavity 110, making it easy to put in and take out the water bottle assembly 300. A slider groove 211 is provided in the protective tube base 210, and a positioning slider 212 and a slider spring 213 are provided in the slider groove 211. A positioning block 121 is provided on the water bottle base 320 seat 120, and the positioning block 121 has a positioning hole 122 for the locking head of the positioning slider 212 to be inserted into the positioning hole 122. When the water bottle protective tube 200 is rotated to a vertical position, the locking head of the positioning slider 212 can be inserted into the positioning hole 122, so that the water bottle protective tube 200 is locked in a vertical state. The locking head of the positioning slider 212 is arc-shaped. By forcefully turning the water bottle protective tube 200 outward, the locking head of the positioning slider 212 can slide out of the positioning hole 122, making it easy to put into and take out the water bottle assembly 300.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the water bottle protective tube 200 is provided with an air inlet valve assembly 500. The air inlet valve assembly 500 includes an air inlet 501 that connects to the pressure-resistant air pipe 113 and an air outlet pipe 502 that extends upward into the water bottle protective tube 200. An air outlet hole is provided on the air outlet pipe 502. The gas discharged from the gas cylinder outlet seat 111 enters the air inlet valve assembly 500 through the pressure-resistant air pipe 113 and is then discharged through the air outlet hole. The intake valve assembly 500 also has a pressure relief pipe 503 on its side. Inside the pressure relief pipe 503 are an intake valve whistle 504, an intake valve spring 505, and an intake valve adjusting cap 506. When the pressure inside the intake valve assembly 500 becomes excessive, the gas inside the assembly will push open the intake valve whistle 504, releasing gas and emitting a whistle to indicate that the gas flow from the intake valve assembly 500 is obstructed. This serves as a warning of potential explosion problems caused by blockage in the gas injection pipe. The intake valve adjusting cap 506 is used to adjust the spring force of the intake valve spring 505.

[0039] like Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the water bottle assembly 300 includes a bottle cap 330, a glass bottle body 310, and a bottle bottom 320. The bottle bottom 320 is threaded onto the bottom of the glass bottle body 310. An air inlet seat 321 is provided inside the bottle bottom 320. The air inlet seat 321 can be fitted onto the air outlet pipe 502 of the air inlet valve assembly 500. A one-way valve 322 is also installed inside the air inlet seat 321 for air intake and water stoppage. An atomizing plate 323 is installed above the air inlet seat 321. The atomizing plate 323 can atomize the carbon dioxide gas entering the bottle, increasing the reaction time and area between the carbon dioxide gas and water, improving the utilization rate and solubility of carbon dioxide, and enhancing the taste of sparkling water.

[0040] like Figure 8 As shown, the bottle cap 330 is also threaded onto the top of the glass bottle body 310. Inside the bottle cap 330 are an inflation valve whistle 336, a whistle spring 337, and a spring adjustment cap 338. When the inner cavity of the water bottle is over-pressurized, the inflation valve whistle 336 is lifted, releasing pressure and emitting a whistle to remind the user that the bottle is full and inflation can be stopped. In this embodiment, two sets of inflation valve whistles 336 are provided: a low-pressure whistle and a high-pressure whistle. The spring 337 of the high-pressure whistle has a greater spring force than the low-pressure whistle. The low-pressure whistle is used for detection, alarm, and pressure release at a lower threshold pressure. The high-pressure whistle and spring are used for secondary detection, alarm, and pressure release at a higher threshold pressure when the low-pressure whistle and spring malfunction.

[0041] The bottle cap 330 contains a constant pressure valve assembly 333, which includes a constant pressure valve stem 332. A constant pressure valve 335 is fitted at the bottom of the constant pressure valve stem 332, and a constant pressure spring 334 is positioned above the constant pressure valve 335. A valve stem cap 331, capable of pushing the constant pressure valve stem 332 downward, is positioned at the top of the constant pressure valve stem 332. After the water bottle assembly is filled and removed, the bottle still has a relatively high pressure, and some undissolved carbon dioxide gas will escape, causing the internal pressure to rise. When the internal pressure becomes excessive, the valve stem cap 331 will push upward, thereby releasing some of the pressure and maintaining a constant internal pressure. This prevents the glass bottle 310 from having excessive pressure and avoids personal injury caused by drops during operation. After the valve stem cap 331 pushes the constant pressure valve stem 332 down, the constant pressure valve 335 cannot move up, the constant pressure function is turned off, and after the constant pressure function is turned off and air is inflated again, the air inflator whistle 336 can work normally.

[0042] like Figure 9As shown, an upper protective cover 400 is provided above the water bottle protective tube 200, and a guide post 405 is provided on the side of the upper protective cover 400. A vertical guide groove 118 is provided on the gas cylinder cavity 110, so the upper protective cover 400 can move up and down in the vertical direction. A lower pressure plate 402 is provided on the side wall of the upper protective cover 400, and a pressure rod linkage shaft 403 is provided on the side of the gas cylinder cavity 110. The pressure rod linkage shaft 403 is located below the lower pressure plate 402 and has a gap with the lower pressure plate 402. The pressure rod linkage shaft 403 is linked to the movable end of the gas outlet pressure rod 117 through a linkage rod 404. When the upper protective cover 400 moves down a certain distance, the lower pressure plate 402 contacts the pressure rod linkage shaft 403. Once the upper protective cover 400 completely covers the water bottle protective cylinder 200, fully protecting the water bottle assembly 300, the lower pressure plate 402 simultaneously presses down the pressure rod linkage shaft 403. Through the linkage of the linkage rod 404, the gas outlet pressure rod 117 rotates downwards, inflating the water bottle assembly 300. This achieves explosion-proof linkage protection during inflation.

[0043] The upper protective cover 400 contains a top block 401 located above the valve stem cap 331. When the upper protective cover 400 is fully closed to the water bottle protective cylinder 200, the top block 401 causes the valve stem cap 331 and the constant pressure valve stem 332 to move downwards, thus disabling the constant pressure function. This temporary disabling of the constant pressure function during inflation ensures the normal operation of the inflation valve whistle 336.

[0044] like Figure 10As shown, when the water bottle assembly 300 needs to be inflated, the water bottle protective tube 200 is first tilted outwards, allowing the water bottle assembly 300 to be easily placed inside. At this time, the inflation seat of the bottle bottom 320 is fitted onto the air outlet pipe 502 of the air inlet valve assembly 500. Then, the water bottle protective tube 200 is pushed inwards, causing the locking head of the positioning slider 212 to engage with the positioning hole 122, locking the water bottle protective tube 200 in a vertical position. Next, the upper protective cover 400 is pressed down, completely covering the water bottle protective tube 200 and protecting the water bottle assembly 300. At this time, through the linkage of the lower pressure plate 402, the pressure rod linkage shaft 403, and the linkage rod 404, the air outlet pressure rod 117 is driven to rotate downwards, inflating the water bottle assembly 300. An atomizing plate 323 is installed above the air inlet 321 to atomize the carbon dioxide gas entering the bottle, increasing the reaction time and area between the carbon dioxide gas and water, thus improving the utilization and solubility of carbon dioxide. When the water bottle assembly 300 is filled with an appropriate amount of carbon dioxide gas, the inflation valve whistle 336 automatically releases pressure and emits a whistle to remind the user that it is full and inflation can be stopped. At this time, the upper protective cover 400 can be loosened and returned to its original upward position. Finally, the water bottle protective cylinder 200 is flipped outwards to remove the fully inflated water bottle assembly 300. Due to the constant pressure regulating chamber 333 and the constant pressure valve 335, the air pressure inside the water bottle is automatically maintained at a constant pressure when it is removed after inflation, ensuring safe air pressure and a comfortable taste.

[0045] The water bottle protector 200 and upper protective cover 400 of this invention prevent the water bottle from bursting during inflation. Through the pressure rod linkage shaft 403 and linkage rod 404, the closing of the upper protective cover 400 and the water bottle protector 200 can be synchronized with the inflation of the carbon dioxide cylinder, greatly improving safety. A double safety system is implemented using a low-pressure valve whistle and a high-pressure valve whistle. If overpressure occurs during inflation, a whistle will sound to remind the user to stop pressing, and automatic pressure relief will occur. An intake valve whistle 504 is provided on the intake valve assembly 500 to warn of potential explosions caused by blockage in the inflation line. By adding a constant pressure valve assembly 333 to the bottle cap 330, the air pressure inside the water bottle is maintained within a safe range after the user removes the bottle, ensuring an optimal gas content for best taste.
