Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a pressurizing tank, and more particularly to a microbubble generating pressurizing tank. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional microbubble booster tanks, such as Figure 1 As shown, after normal water flow, the booster tank is filled with water. At this point, by switching functions, a water pump adds a gas-liquid mixture into the tank, simultaneously pressurizing the tank. During use, water flows into the inlet chamber at the bottom of the booster tank. Impacting the inner wall of the components within the inlet chamber, gas and liquid separate. Due to density differences, water sinks while gas is distributed in the upper part of the tank. Only a small amount of gas dissolves in the water. As the gas-liquid mixture is continuously injected into the tank, the pressure rises to a certain value. Apart from a small amount of dissolved gas, most of the gas is distributed in the upper part of the tank, causing the liquid level to continuously decrease. When the liquid level is too low, the water output from the booster tank becomes intermittent. Therefore, an exhaust structure that automatically opens and closes the exhaust channel based on the liquid level is needed. However, due to the high pressure inside the microbubble booster tank, under actual conditions, this may lead to... Figure 2 The following situation occurs because high-pressure gas in the inlet chamber prevents the liquid in the float's movement chamber from being expelled. This causes the liquid level in the inlet chamber to drop while the float remains at a high position, resulting in venting failure. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a microbubble generating pressurization tank that can avoid exhaust failure.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a microbubble generating pressurization tank, comprising: a tank body, a float, and an exhaust channel; the tank body is provided with a float movement chamber for the float to move and a water inlet chamber; the float movement chamber is connected to the water inlet chamber from at least two positions; one end of the exhaust channel is connected to the float movement chamber, and the other end is connected to the outside of the tank body;

[0005] The float moves between a first position and a second position depending on the water level in the float's movement chamber; when the float is in the first position, the seal installed on the float opens the venting channel; when the float is in the second position, the seal installed on the float closes the venting channel.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment: the at least two positions have a height difference on the float motion cavity.

[0007] This invention provides a microbubble generating pressurization tank, comprising: a tank body, a float, and an exhaust channel; the tank body is provided with a water inlet chamber, and the float is disposed in the water inlet chamber; one end of the exhaust channel is connected to the water inlet chamber, and the other end is connected to the outside of the tank body;

[0008] The float moves between a first position and a second position depending on the water level in the inlet chamber; when the float is in the first position, the seal installed on the float opens the venting channel; when the float is in the second position, the seal installed on the float closes the venting channel.

[0009] The present invention also provides a microbubble generating pressurization tank, comprising: a tank body and a float valve disposed outside the tank body; the float valve is provided with a float movement chamber for the movement of a float, the float movement chamber being connected to the water inlet chamber of the tank body; the float valve also has an exhaust channel, one end of the exhaust channel being connected to the float movement chamber and the other end being connected to the outside of the tank body;

[0010] The float movement chamber is connected to the top of the water inlet chamber of the tank via a hose, so that the air pressure in the float movement chamber is the same as that in the water inlet chamber.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment: the sealing element includes a swing rod and a sealing gasket; one end of the swing rod is oscillatingly connected to the float, and the other end is provided with the sealing gasket;

[0012] When the float moves from the first position to the second position, the swing rod swings relative to the float so that the sealing gasket fits and seals against the inlet of the exhaust channel.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment: the other end of the swing rod is provided with a chamber for accommodating the sealing gasket; the sealing gasket is abutted against the chamber by a spring.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment: the periphery of the inlet of the exhaust channel protrudes into the float movement cavity, forming a flange that abuts against the sealing gasket.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment: the outlet of the exhaust passage is connected to the exhaust port via an electronic air valve.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] This invention provides a microbubble generating pressurization tank. By connecting the float movement chamber to the water inlet chamber from at least two locations, or by directly placing the float inside the water inlet chamber, the air pressure inside the water inlet chamber is made consistent with the air pressure inside the float movement chamber. This ensures that as the water level in the water inlet chamber drops, the float's height also drops, thereby promptly opening the venting channel to release the gas. In this way, after the high-pressure gas inside the pressurization tank is promptly released, the water level in the water inlet chamber rises rapidly, preventing the tank from completely draining. This avoids the problem of the float being unable to descend and open the venting channel due to the high pressure inside the pressurization tank preventing water from draining from the float movement chamber.

For example, "connection" can be a wall-mounted connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] refer to Figures 3-9 This embodiment provides a microbubble generating pressurization tank, including: a tank body 1, a float 2, and an exhaust channel 3; the tank body 1 is provided with a float movement chamber 11 for the float 2 to move and a water inlet chamber 12; the float movement chamber 11 is connected to the water inlet chamber 12 from two positions 111 and 112. One position is at the bottom of the float movement chamber 11, and the other position is on the side of the float movement chamber 11. In this way, the two positions have a height difference on the float movement chamber 11, thereby achieving a state of air pressure balance between the float movement chamber 11 and the water inlet chamber 12.

[0038] One end of the exhaust channel 3 is connected to the float motion chamber 11, and the other end is connected to the outside of the tank body 1;

[0039] The float 2 moves between a first position and a second position depending on the water level in the float movement chamber 11; when the float 2 is in the first position, the seal 21 installed on the float 2 opens the exhaust channel 3; when the float 2 is in the second position, the seal 21 installed on the float 2 closes the exhaust channel 3.

[0040] During use, after the tank is filled with water under normal water flow conditions, the gas-liquid mixture is added to the tank via a water pump by means of switching functions, and the water pump also pressurizes the tank. During use, water flows in from the inlet at the bottom of the tank and enters the inlet chamber 12. After impacting the inner wall of the parts in the inlet chamber 12, the gas and liquid separate. Due to density differences, the water sinks while the gas is distributed in the upper part of the tank. Only a small amount of gas dissolves in the water. As the gas-liquid mixture is continuously injected into the tank, the pressure inside the tank rises to a certain value. Apart from a small amount of gas dissolved in the water, more gas is distributed in the upper part of the inlet chamber 12, causing the liquid level to continuously decrease. When the pressure inside tank 1 is maintained and the liquid level drops, the additional channel on the side of the float movement chamber 11 ensures that the pressure inside the float movement chamber 11 is consistent with that inside the water inlet chamber 12, similar to the principle of water pressure balance. As a result, the water in the float movement chamber 11 automatically flows downward into the water inlet chamber 12 due to gravity. The float 2 also automatically descends under the action of gravity, driving the seal 21 to open the exhaust channel 3 normally. The high pressure inside tank 1 quickly discharges the gas inside tank 1, and the liquid level quickly rises, thus preventing the water in the pressurization tank from drying out.

[0041] In this example, the sealing element 21 includes a swing rod 211 and a sealing gasket 212; one end of the swing rod 211 is swing-connected to the float 2, and the other end is provided with the sealing gasket 212; thereby, when the float 2 moves from the first position to the second position, the swing rod 211 swings relative to the float 2 so that the sealing gasket 212 fits and seals with the inlet of the exhaust channel 3.

[0042] To accommodate the sealing gasket 212, the other end of the swing rod 211 is provided with a chamber for receiving the sealing gasket 212; the sealing gasket 212 abuts against the chamber via a spring 213. Correspondingly, the periphery of the inlet of the exhaust channel 3 protrudes into the float movement chamber 11, forming a flange that abuts against the sealing gasket 212. Thus, when the float 2 is in the second position, the flange compresses the sealing gasket 212, and the sealing gasket 212 compresses the spring 213, accumulating elastic restoring force, thereby causing the sealing gasket 212 to adhere and seal against the inlet of the exhaust channel 3 under the action of the elastic restoring force.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] In this embodiment, the float movement chamber 11 is omitted, and the float 2 is directly placed in the water inlet chamber 12. Therefore, whenever the water level in the water inlet chamber 12 changes, the height of the float 2 will also change accordingly. The disadvantage is that the positional change of the float 2 is relatively sensitive, and it is easy to accidentally open the venting channel 3 due to the agitated water flow in the mixing chamber, leading to malfunction.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] refer to Figure 10 This embodiment provides a microbubble generating pressurization tank, including: a tank body 1 and a float valve placed outside the tank body 1; the float valve is provided with a float movement chamber 11 for the movement of a float 2, and the float movement chamber 11 is connected to the water inlet chamber 12 of the tank body 1; the float valve also has an exhaust channel 3, one end of the exhaust channel 3 is connected to the float movement chamber 11, and the other end is connected to the outside of the tank body 1;

[0047] The float movement chamber 11 is connected to the through hole 121 at the top of the water inlet chamber 12 of the tank body 1 via a hose 4, so that the air pressure in the float movement chamber 11 is consistent with that in the water inlet chamber 12.

[0048] This solution places the float valve outside the tank 1, and connects the through hole 121 at the top of the water inlet chamber 12 of the tank 1 with the through hole 111 on the side of the float movement chamber 11 through the hose 4, so that the pressure at the top of the water inlet chamber 12 of the tank 1 is consistent with the pressure inside the float valve, and the float 2 can move up and down normally with the liquid level. In this embodiment, the float valve is external, which is easy to replace and can avoid the float getting stuck due to scale problems after long-term use, which would cause the venting function to fail.

[0049] Example 4

[0050] refer to Figure 11-12 This embodiment provides a microbubble water heater, including a water heater body, a water pump, an air pump, and a booster tank as described above; the water inlet of the water heater body is connected to the water inlet chamber 12 of the booster tank through the water pump; the air pump is connected to the water inlet of the water pump through a one-way valve. Furthermore, the outlet of the exhaust channel 3 is connected to the exhaust port through an electronic air valve.

[0051] The aforementioned microbubble water heater uses an air pump to add air to the water through the air inlet, while simultaneously using a water pump to pressurize the pressure tank 1. The electronic air valve is only used to close the vent when the liquid level is low, allowing the pressure inside the tank to rise rapidly; it remains open during subsequent operation. As the gas-filled water continuously enters the tank 1, the liquid level inside the tank 1 continuously drops until the vent opens, and the gas above the pressure tank is quickly discharged through the vent channel opened by the float. At this time, the water pump rapidly replenishes the tank, and the liquid level quickly rises again. Subsequently, as the air pump and water pump continue to operate, the pressure tank continuously outputs high-concentration microbubble water. As a simple alternative to this embodiment, other airflow delivery channels can also be used to achieve microbubble water output. Furthermore, it is not limited to water heaters; other water outlet devices such as faucets and showers can also use the above structure to achieve microbubble water output.

[0052] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present invention by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present invention.
