Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of soda water, in particular to an automatic soda water production device and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Soda water is a water solution of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃, commonly known as baking soda), also known as weakly alkaline water. It improves the body's pH and aids digestion, reduces lipids, and improves bowel movements. Many devices have been developed for making homemade soda water, allowing users to add carbon dioxide to water for easy daily drinking.

[0003] In addition to drinking soda water directly, you can also add fruit powder or concentrated fruit juice to make fruit-flavored soda water, making the taste richer and more delicious.

The main body has an air inlet and a tray, the air inlet having an air inlet pipe and a pressure relief pipe. A concentrated juice tank is located within the main body, with a concentrated juice pipe connected to the air inlet. The concentrated juice tank is connected to the concentrated juice pipe and can be used to add additives of various flavors. However, the concentrated juice tank of this device requires juice to be added and stored until use. Any unused juice will remain in the tank, which can cause bacterial growth over time. Furthermore, the interior of the concentrated juice tank is difficult to clean, posing a health hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the above-mentioned background technology, the present invention proposes an automatic soda water production device and a method of using the same, which solves the problem of health hazards caused by adding fruit juice to soda water in the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is achieved as follows:

[0007] An automatic soda water production device comprises a main body and a pressure water bottle. The main body is provided with a vertical capsule channel for stacking juice capsules and a horizontal conveying channel groove for conveying the juice capsules. One end of the conveying channel groove is located below the capsule channel, an injection port is provided in the middle, and a capsule shell outlet is provided at the other end. The injection port has a diameter smaller than the juice capsule. A liftable injection assembly is provided in the main body and is aligned with the injection port. A pushing mechanism is provided between the conveying channel groove and the capsule channel for intermittently pushing the juice capsules into the conveying channel groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism includes a horizontal circular plate rotatably arranged in the main body and a driving assembly for driving the circular plate to rotate. The circular plate is arranged to fit the lower end surface of the capsule channel. Several capsule notches that match the outer diameter of the juice capsule are evenly distributed on the circular plate, and the diameter of the capsule channel matches the outer diameter of the juice capsule; the number of strip notches is consistent with the number of capsule notches.

[0009] Furthermore, the distance between the lower end of the capsule channel and the bottom of the conveying channel groove is equal to the height of a juice capsule.

[0010] Furthermore, the circular plate is rotatably connected to the main body through a rotating shaft, and the circular plate is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The driving assembly includes a horizontal plate fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating shaft and a driving member for pushing the horizontal plate to rotate, and a number of strip-shaped notches are evenly distributed on the horizontal plate; the driving member includes a rotating motor arranged in the main body and a horizontal rocker connected to the output shaft of the rotating motor, and the end of the horizontal rocker away from the output shaft is provided with a guide rod that can be rotated into the strip-shaped notch.

[0011] Furthermore, the injection assembly includes an injection shell, an air injection pipe and a pressure relief pipe arranged in the injection shell; a gas cylinder is provided in the main body, and the gas cylinder is connected to the air injection pipe through a hose; fins that can pierce the juice capsule are provided on the air injection pipe and / or the pressure relief pipe; a lifting assembly for driving the injection assembly to rise and fall is provided in the main body so that the air injection pipe and the pressure relief pipe pass through the juice capsule and extend out of the injection port.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a vertical rack arranged on the injection shell and a gear drive mechanism arranged in the main body, and the gear of the gear drive mechanism is engaged with the rack.

[0013] Furthermore, a liftable squeezing block is provided in the injection shell for squeezing the juice capsule, and the air injection pipe and the pressure relief pipe pass through the squeezing block and are slidably fitted with the squeezing block.

[0014] Furthermore, a vent tube is provided in the pressure water bottle, the lower end of the vent tube is connected to the pressure water bottle through a connecting plate, and a sealing ring is provided inside the upper end that can be sealed with the lower end of the air injection tube; a plurality of small round holes are provided on the connecting plate.

[0015] Furthermore, a capsule shell channel is provided in the main body and is located directly below the capsule shell outlet. A pull-out capsule shell drawer is provided at the bottom of the capsule shell channel.

[0016] The method for using any of the above-mentioned automatic soda water production devices comprises the following steps:

[0017] S1. Initially, the juice capsule at the bottom of the capsule channel falls into the capsule notch of the circular plate; the injection assembly rises to the top of the main body and away from the injection port;

[0018] S2. Connect the pressure water bottle to the injection port; turn on the motor to drive the horizontal swing arm to rotate, the guide rod into the strip notch to push the horizontal plate to rotate, so that the circular plate rotates to transfer the juice capsule to the top of the injection port, the guide rod out of the strip notch, the horizontal plate and the circular plate stop rotating;

[0019] S3. The lifting assembly drives the injection assembly downward, causing the air injection pipe and pressure relief pipe to descend through the juice capsule and into the injection port. The fins on the air injection pipe and / or pressure relief pipe pierce the upper and lower bottoms of the juice capsule, allowing the concentrated juice to flow into the pressure water bottle. The lower end of the air injection pipe is inserted into the vent pipe and engages with the sealing ring.

[0020] S4. The carbon dioxide gas is injected into the pressure water bottle through the gas injection tube and enters below the connecting plate, and then the gas moves upward through the small circular hole on the connecting plate; part of the carbon dioxide gas overflows through the perforation on the juice capsule into the juice capsule and / or the gap between the juice capsule and the injection housing;

[0021] S5. Continue to lower the injection assembly or squeeze the juice capsule by lowering the squeeze block to move the overflowed carbon dioxide gas downward, so that the carbon dioxide gas dissolves into the water.

[0022] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0023] 1. By providing a juice capsule for adding concentrated juice to water, one juice capsule is consumed each time you drink it. These disposable juice capsules improve the safety and hygiene of added juice, ensuring safe drinking. There is no need to clean the juice chamber, making it simple, convenient, safe, and efficient to use. Juice flavors can be easily switched as needed.

[0024] 2. A capsule channel is provided in the main body for stacking multiple juice capsules. A juice capsule is transferred to the injection port by a pushing mechanism, and the injection assembly arranged to be lifted descends to pierce the juice capsule. This allows for convenient juice addition each time gas is injected without requiring additional operation, making juice addition easy.

[0025] 3. Each time the pushing mechanism runs a cycle, the juice capsule enters the injection port from the bottom of the capsule channel and pauses to facilitate the gas injection operation. After the injection assembly is reset, the pushing mechanism runs another cycle and the juice capsule enters the capsule shell outlet, making the device more intelligent.

[0026] 4. By setting the capsule shell channel and the capsule shell drawer, the capsule shells that enter the capsule shell outlet and fall into the capsule shell channel can be collected, which is convenient to use;

[0027] 5. The space between the injection shell and the pressure water bottle is reduced by continuously lowering the injection shell or lowering the extrusion block to squeeze the juice capsule, so that the overflowed carbon dioxide can be dissolved in water again, thereby increasing the solubility of carbon dioxide and making the prepared soda water taste better.

[0028] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, the following briefly introduces the drawings required for use in the description of the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative work.

[0031] Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of the injection assembly of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, an automatic soda water production device according to Example 1 of the present invention comprises a main body and a pressure water bottle 1, with a removable and replaceable gas cylinder housed within the main body. The upper portion of the main body is provided with a vertical capsule channel 2 for stacking juice capsules 3 and a horizontal conveying channel trough 4 for conveying the juice capsules 3. The conveying channel trough 4 has one end located directly below the capsule channel 2, a capsule shell outlet at the other end, and an injection port 41 in the middle. The injection port 41 corresponds to the water bottle connection port on the main body, which can be threadedly connected to the pressure water bottle 1. The diameter of the injection port 41 is smaller than that of the juice capsules 3, preventing them from falling into the injection port 41. A liftable injection assembly 5 is located within the main body, aligned with the injection port 41. In this embodiment, the injection assembly 5 is equipped with an injection pipe 11 for injecting carbon dioxide gas and a pressure relief pipe 12 for releasing pressure. The upper end of the injection pipe 11 is connected to the gas bottle via a flexible hose or a foldable plastic bellows and an air pump, without affecting the raising and lowering of the injection assembly 5. The lower ends of the air injection tube 11 and the pressure relief tube 12 can pass through the juice capsule 3, enter the injection port, and penetrate into the pressure water bottle 1 connected to the water bottle connection port. The distance between the lower end of the capsule channel 2 and the bottom of the transmission channel groove 4 is equal to the height of one juice capsule 3, so that only one juice capsule 3 can enter the horizontal transmission channel groove 4 from the lower end of the capsule channel 2 at a time. A pushing mechanism is provided between the transmission channel groove 4 and the capsule channel 2 to intermittently push the juice capsule 3 into the transmission channel groove 4. After each cycle of the pushing mechanism, the juice capsule 3 enters the injection port 41 from the bottom of the capsule channel 2 and pauses. The pushing mechanism then operates for another cycle, and the juice capsule 3 enters the capsule shell outlet. The upper end of the capsule channel 2 passes through the top of the main body and is provided with a movable lid. The lid cooperates with the top of the main body to cover the upper end of the capsule channel 2.

[0034] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the air injection tube 11 and / or the pressure relief tube 12 are equipped with fins that pierce the upper and lower bottoms of the juice capsule 3. During use, the injection assembly 5 is lowered, allowing the air injection tube 11 and the pressure relief tube 12 to pass through the juice capsule 3, enter the injection port, and extend into the pressure water bottle 1 connected to the water bottle connection port. The air injection tube 11 is then injected, and the concentrated juice in the juice capsule 3 flows into the pressure water bottle 1 through the punctured hole in the bottom of the juice capsule 3, thereby adding fruit flavor to the soda water. The juice capsule 3 can also be provided with a variety of flavors. Each drink consumes one juice capsule 3. The juice capsule 3 is sealed and disposable, improving the safety and hygiene of adding juice and ensuring safe drinking. There is no need to clean the juice chamber, making it simple, convenient, safe, and efficient to use. Furthermore, the juice flavor can be easily switched as needed.

[0035] Example 2 is different from Example 1 in that Figure 2As shown, the pushing mechanism includes a horizontal circular plate 6 rotatably mounted below the capsule passage 2. The horizontal circular plate 6 is rotatably connected to the main body, which houses a drive assembly for rotating the circular plate 6. The circular plate 6 is positioned in contact with the lower end surface of the capsule passage 2 and is evenly distributed with a number of capsule notches 61 that match the outer diameters of the juice capsules 3. The diameter of the capsule passage 2 matches the outer diameters of the juice capsules 3, allowing the juice capsules 3 to accurately fall into the capsule notches 61 under their own weight and onto the bottom of the delivery channel trough 4. The delivery channel trough 4 is an arc-shaped channel trough, coaxial with the circular plate 6. The capsule notches 61 can be circular, inferior arc, superior arc, or semicircular arc notches that match the outer diameter of the juice capsules 3. The capsule notch 61 is a minor arc notch or a semicircular arc notch. The distance between the capsule notch 61 and the conveying channel groove 4 is such that the other side of the capsule notch 61 fits against the groove wall of the conveying channel groove 4 and is conveyed in the conveying channel groove 4, so as to ensure that the juice capsule 3 accurately enters the top of the injection port.

[0036] Furthermore, if Figure 2As shown, the circular plate 6 is rotatably connected to the main body via a rotating shaft, and the circular plate 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The drive assembly includes a horizontal plate 7 fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating shaft and a drive member for driving the horizontal plate 7 to rotate. The horizontal plate 7 is evenly distributed with a plurality of strip-shaped notches 71. In this embodiment, the horizontal plate 7 is evenly distributed with four strip-shaped notches, that is, the angle between the centerlines of two adjacent strip-shaped notches is 90 degrees. In another embodiment, the horizontal plate 7 is provided with three strip-shaped notches 71 or five strip-shaped notches 71. Regardless of the number, the number of strip-shaped notches 71 is consistent with the number of capsule notches 61. In other words, in this embodiment, the strip-shaped notches 71 on the horizontal plate 7 and the capsule notches 61 on the circular plate 6 are all distributed at equal angles of 90 degrees. The drive member includes a rotating motor fixedly disposed within the main body and a horizontal swing arm 8 connected to the output shaft of the rotating motor. The output shaft of the rotating motor is vertically disposed, and the horizontal swing arm 8 is horizontally connected to the output shaft of the rotating motor. A guide rod 9 is provided at the end of the horizontal rocker 8, distal from the output shaft, to pivot into the strip-shaped notch 71. In this embodiment, the shortest line connecting the axis of the motor's output shaft, the axis of the rotating shaft, and the centerlines of two adjacent strip-shaped notches 71, when viewed from above, forms a square. The length between the axis of the guide rod 9 and the axis of the motor's output shaft is equal to the side length of the square. This ensures that with each rotation of the motor's output shaft, the guide rod 9 propels the horizontal plate 7 90 degrees, which in turn rotates the circular plate 6 90 degrees, causing the capsule notch 61 to rotate 90 degrees, delivering the juice capsule 3 above the injection port. In another embodiment, when three strip-shaped notches 71 are provided on the horizontal plate 7, the strip-shaped notches 71 on the horizontal plate 7 and the capsule notch 61 on the circular plate 6 are evenly spaced at 120-degree angles. After pivoting out of the strip-shaped notch 71, the guide rod 9 no longer drives the horizontal plate 7, allowing the juice capsule 3 to rest on the injection port, facilitating the water vapor injection operation into the pressurized water bottle 1. After the operation is completed, the output shaft of the rotating motor rotates one more circle, and the guide rod 9 pushes the horizontal plate 7 to rotate 90 degrees, which just drives the circular plate 6 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the capsule notch 61 rotates 90 degrees and transmits the capsule shell of the juice capsule 3 to the capsule shell outlet.

[0037] Example 3 is different from Example 1 in that Figure 3As shown, the injection assembly 5 comprises an injection housing, with an air injection pipe 11 and a pressure relief pipe 12 extending through the housing. The upper end of the air injection pipe 11 extends through the housing and connects to the gas cylinder via a flexible hose. The upper end of the pressure relief pipe 12 extends through the housing and communicates with a vent at the top of the main body. Furthermore, a pressure relief valve 17 is provided on the pressure relief pipe 12. In this embodiment, the lower ends of both the air injection pipe 11 and the pressure relief pipe 12 are equipped with fins that pierce the upper and lower bottoms of the juice capsule 3. These fins are triangular in shape with their bases facing upward. After passing through the juice capsule 3, these fins leave perforations at the bottom of the juice capsule 3, facilitating the flow of juice into the pressure water bottle 1. A lifting assembly is provided within the main body to drive the injection assembly 5 upward and downward, allowing the air injection pipe 11 and the pressure relief pipe 12 to pass through the juice capsule 3 and out of the injection port 41, where they enter the pressure water bottle 1 connected to the water bottle connection port. When the lifting assembly lowers the injection housing, it compresses the juice capsule 3 against the pressure water bottle 1, maintaining a relatively closed space between the injection housing and the pressure water bottle 1 and preventing the escape of large amounts of carbon dioxide.

[0038] Example 4 is different from Example 3 in that Figure 3 As shown, the lifting assembly includes a rack arranged on the injection shell and a gear drive mechanism 18 arranged in the main body, and the rack is vertically fixed on one side of the injection shell. The gear drive mechanism 18 includes a gear motor fixed in the main body and a gear arranged at the output end of the gear motor, and the gear is engaged with the rack. The injection assembly 5 is lifted and lowered by driving the gear motor to rotate. In other embodiments, a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod can also be used to drive the injection assembly 5 to be lifted and lowered. In addition, a matching limiting structure is provided between the injection shell and the main body. In this embodiment, the limiting structure includes matching vertical ridges and vertical grooves, one of which is provided on the injection shell and the other is provided on the inner wall of the main body.

[0039] Example 5 is different from Example 4 in that Figure 3 As shown, after the gas injection pipe 11 injects gas into the pressure water bottle 1, part of the gas dissolves in the water, and part overflows the water surface and can enter the juice capsule 3 through the punctured hole on the juice capsule 3, resulting in a decrease in the carbon dioxide dissolved in the water. Therefore, the injection assembly 5 can be driven to continue to descend through the lifting assembly, squeezing the juice capsule 3 so that the overflowed carbon dioxide can re-enter the pressure water bottle 1 and dissolve in the water, increasing the solubility of carbon dioxide and making the produced soda water taste better. Afterwards, the pressure relief valve 17 on the pressure relief pipe 12 is opened to relieve the pressure to prevent excessive pressure in the water bottle. It should be noted that the height of the lower end of the pressure relief pipe 12 is set at an appropriate position to prevent the pressure relief pipe 12 from being inserted into the water after the injection assembly 5 continues to descend.

[0040] Example 6 is different from Example 4 in that Figure 3As shown, the injection housing is further provided with a liftable extrusion block 10 for squeezing the juice capsules 3. The air injection pipe 11 and the pressure relief pipe 12 pass through the extrusion block 10 and slide in cooperation with the extrusion block 10. The injection housing is also provided with a lifting drive member for driving the extrusion block 10 to rise and fall. The lifting drive member can be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod. The extrusion block 10 is provided with a through-hole for the air injection pipe 11 and the pressure relief pipe 12 to pass through. The through-holes can be provided with sealing rings or elastic blocking rings that respectively fit with the air injection pipe 11 and the pressure relief pipe 12 to ensure a sliding seal between the extrusion block 10 and the air injection pipe 11 and the pressure relief pipe 12. By using the extrusion block 10 to squeeze the juice capsules 3, the space between the injection housing and the pressure water bottle 1 is reduced, allowing the overflowed carbon dioxide to dissolve again in water, increasing the solubility of carbon dioxide and making the produced soda water taste better.

[0041] Example 7 is different from Example 4 in that Figure 3 As shown, the pressure water bottle 1 is equipped with a vent tube 14. The lower end of the vent tube 14 is connected to the pressure water bottle 1 via a circular connecting plate 15. The upper end of the vent tube 14 is internally provided with a sealing ring 141 that seals against the lower end of the gas injection tube 11. The center of the connecting plate 15 is fixedly connected to the vent tube 14. The outer periphery of the connecting plate 15 is fixedly connected to the pressure water bottle 1. After the pressure water bottle 1 is screwed into the water bottle connection port and the injection assembly 5 is lowered, the gas injection tube 11 can be inserted into the sealing ring 141 of the vent tube 14. Carbon dioxide gas is injected into the vent tube 14 through the gas injection tube 1, and the carbon dioxide gas enters the water from the lower end of the vent tube 14. The connecting plate 15 is provided with multiple small circular holes, through which the carbon dioxide gas flows upward in the water. The small circular holes slow the movement of the gas, allowing more carbon dioxide to dissolve in the water. The connecting plate 15 can be provided with one, two, or more layers. The small circular holes in adjacent layers of connecting plates 15 are staggered to further slow the upward movement of the gas. The height of the fins on the gas injection pipe 11 is set appropriately to avoid interference between the fins on the gas injection pipe 11 and the vent pipe 14 after the injection assembly 5 is lowered.

[0042] Example 8 is different from Example 2 in that Figure 1 As shown, the main body is provided with a vertical capsule shell passage 17, located directly below the capsule shell outlet. A retractable capsule shell drawer 13 is located at the bottom of capsule shell passage 17 to collect capsule shells that fall into capsule shell passage 17. An opening is provided on the side of the main body for pulling out capsule shell drawer 13. A handle is provided on the outside of capsule shell drawer 13 to facilitate pulling out capsule shells and cleaning.

[0043] The difference between Example 9 and Example 1 is that a small door that can be opened and closed can be provided on the outer side of the bottom of the capsule channel 2 to facilitate taking out the juice capsule 3 when the juice capsule 3 is not needed.

[0044] Example 10, a method for using the automatic soda water production device, comprising the following steps:

[0045] S1. Initially, a juice capsule 3 at the bottom of the capsule channel 2 falls into the capsule notch 61 of the circular plate 6; the injection assembly 5 rises to the top of the body and away from the injection port 41, without hindering the transfer of the juice capsule 3 to the injection port 41;

[0046] S2. Connect the pressure water bottle 1 to the water bottle connection port below the inlet 41. Turn on the rotary motor to rotate the horizontal rocker 8. The guide rod 9 enters the strip-shaped notch 71, pushing the horizontal plate 7 to rotate. This causes the circular plate 6 to rotate and transfer the juice capsule 3 to the top of the inlet 41. The guide rod 9 then exits the strip-shaped notch 71, and the horizontal plate 7 and circular plate 6 stop rotating, allowing the juice capsule 3 to rest on the inlet 41.

[0047] S3. The lifting assembly operates to lower the injection assembly 5. The air injection pipe 11 and the pressure relief pipe 12 descend through the juice capsule 3, into the injection port 41, and into the pressure water bottle 1. The fins on the air injection pipe 11 and the pressure relief pipe 12 pierce the upper and lower bottoms of the juice capsule 3, allowing the concentrated juice to flow into the pressure water bottle 1. The lower end of the air injection pipe 11 is inserted into the vent pipe 14 and engages with the sealing ring 141.

[0048] The gas injection pipe 11 and the pressure relief pipe 12 are detachably connected to the injection shell. The injection shell is provided with a sealed connection port for the gas injection pipe 11 and the pressure relief pipe 12. The sealed connection port and the gas injection pipe 11 or the pressure relief pipe 12 can be threadedly connected to facilitate cleaning of the gas injection pipe 11 and the pressure relief pipe 1;

[0049] S4. The carbon dioxide gas is injected into the pressure water bottle 1 through the gas injection pipe 11 and enters below the connecting plate 15, and then the gas moves upward through the small circular hole on the connecting plate 15; part of the carbon dioxide gas overflows through the perforation on the juice capsule 3 into the juice capsule 3, or into the gap between the juice capsule 3 and the injection shell;

[0050] S5. By injecting the housing or squeezing the juice capsule 3 downwardly by squeezing the block 10, the overflowing carbon dioxide gas moves downwardly, so that the carbon dioxide gas is dissolved again into the water, increasing the solubility of carbon dioxide, so that the soda water produced contains more carbon dioxide bubbles and tastes better;

[0051] S6. Release the pressure by opening the pressure relief valve 17; then remove the pressure water bottle 1;

[0052] S7. The injection assembly 5 is reset; the drive assembly works, the guide rod 9 is turned into the strip-shaped notch 71 to push the horizontal plate 7 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the circular plate 6 rotates to transfer the juice capsule 3 to the capsule shell outlet, and the capsule shell outlet falls into the capsule shell drawer 13 at the bottom of the capsule shell channel 17.

[0053] Example 11 differs from Example 1 in that the main body is further provided with a corresponding drinking water installation location and drinking water connection port. These locations and connection ports utilize structures similar to those found on existing water dispensers. The injection assembly 5 is equipped with an inlet pipe for injecting drinking water into the pressure water bottle 1. The upper portion of the inlet pipe is secured to the injection assembly 5. The upper end of the pipe is connected to the drinking water connection port via a flexible hose or foldable plastic bellows, which does not hinder the raising and lowering of the injection assembly 5. The lower end of the inlet pipe is also provided with fins. During use, after the injection assembly 5 is lowered, allowing the inlet pipe to pass through the juice capsule 3, small holes are uniformly distributed on the inlet pipe at positions corresponding to the interior of the juice capsule 3. This allows water to flow out through the holes and into the juice capsule 3, allowing any remaining concentrated juice to flow into the pressure water bottle, thus avoiding waste.

[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
