Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bubble water, and in particular to a bubble water generating device. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, sparkling water is typically produced by using an air pump to inflate a gas dissolving tank, causing the gas to mix with the liquid in the tank to form the sparkling water. However, as the sparkling water continues to flow, the gas in the tank is continuously consumed while the liquid continues to increase, resulting in an imbalance in the gas-liquid ratio and reduced sparkling water production efficiency.

[0003] To ensure stable production of sparkling water, traditional solutions typically use intermittent air replenishment. This involves shutting off the water supply when insufficient air pressure is detected, and then using an air pump to refill the air tank. However, this method of replenishment presents a significant problem: during the replenishment period, the water supply is interrupted, preventing users from receiving a continuous supply of sparkling water, severely impacting their water experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present application provides a bubble water generating device to solve the technical problem that users cannot use the bubble water normally when the existing bubble water device is replenishing air.

[0005] The present application provides a bubble water generating device, comprising:

[0006] A first cavity and a second cavity, wherein the first cavity is connected to a water inlet end, and the second cavity is connected to a water outlet end;

[0007] A first water flow passage and a second water flow passage are provided between the first cavity and the second cavity, wherein:

[0008] A stop valve is provided in the first water flow passage for controllably shutting off the water flow in the passage;

[0009] The second water flow passage is a normally open passage, and its flow cross-sectional area is smaller than that of the first water flow passage;

[0010] The air inlet is provided on the side wall of the second cavity, and its air inlet direction is toward the water outlet.

[0011] In a possible embodiment, a partition plate is further included, the side wall of the first cavity is provided with a first through hole, the partition plate is provided with a second through hole, the first through hole is connected to the second through hole to form the first water flow path, wherein the diameter of the second through hole is smaller than the diameter of the first through hole.

[0012] In a possible implementation, the second water flow passage is provided in the partition plate, and a diameter of the second water flow passage is smaller than a diameter of the second through hole.

[0013] In a possible embodiment, two opposite side walls of the second cavity are respectively provided with a plurality of limit blocks, and both ends of the U-shaped baffle are respectively embedded in the areas formed by the limit blocks.

[0014] In a possible implementation manner, a cover plate is further included, and the cover plate is detachably covered on the openings of the first cavity and the second cavity by a plurality of fasteners.

[0015] In a possible implementation manner, a rubber pad is provided at one end of the opening facing the cover plate.

[0016] The above technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0017] When the amount of air in the second cavity is insufficient and needs to be replenished, the stop valve is closed to cut off the water flow in the first water flow path. Since the second water flow path is normally open, after the water flow in the first water flow path is cut off, water still flows out of the water outlet. At the same time, when the external device inflates the second cavity, as air is continuously filled into the second cavity, the air pressure in the second cavity gradually increases, and the bubble water remaining in the second cavity is pushed toward the water outlet under the action of the gas pressure, forming an exhaust water flow. The water flow in the second water flow path, plus the exhaust water flow generated by the gas pressure, together ensures that water still flows out of the water outlet during the inflation stage, meeting the normal water needs of users.

[0031] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present application. In addition, the present application may repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0033] For ease of description, spatially relative terms may be used herein to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the figures. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "inside," "outside," "below," "beneath," "above," "above," "front," "rear," and the like. Such spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the sparkling water generating device during use or operation other than the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the sparkling water generating device in the figures is flipped, changes position, or changes motion, these directional indications will change accordingly. For example, an element described as "below" or "beneath" another element or feature would subsequently be oriented "above" or "above" the other element or feature. Thus, the example term "below" can encompass both above and below orientations. The sparkling water generating device may be oriented differently (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptors used herein should be interpreted accordingly.

[0034] In order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that users cannot use the bubble water normally when the bubble water device is replenishing air, the present application provides a bubble water generating device that can ensure that when the stop valve 6 is in a closed state, water still flows out from the water outlet 104, ensuring that users can still use water normally when the device is replenishing air.

[0035] Figures 1 to 3 A bubble water generating device provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0036] A first cavity 101 and a second cavity 102, the first cavity 101 is connected to a water inlet 103, and the second cavity 102 is connected to a water outlet 104;

[0037] A first water flow passage 3 and a second water flow passage 4 are provided between the first cavity 101 and the second cavity 102. It can be understood that both the first water flow passage 3 and the second water flow passage 4 can connect the first cavity 101 with the second cavity 102, that is, both the first water flow passage 3 and the second water flow passage 4 can introduce water from the first cavity 101 into the second cavity 102, wherein:

[0038] A stop valve 6 is provided in the first water flow passage 3 for controlling and cutting off the water flow in the passage;

[0039] The second water flow passage 4 is a normally open passage, and its flow cross-sectional area is smaller than that of the first water flow passage 3;

[0040] The air inlet 105 is provided on the side wall of the second cavity 102 for supplying air to the second cavity 102 , and the air inlet direction of the air inlet 105 is toward the water outlet 104 .

[0041] In the above technical solution, during the air replenishment process, the shutoff valve 6 closes the first water flow path 3 (the degree of closure can be adjusted according to actual conditions) to control the water flow and ensure smooth air replenishment. After air replenishment is completed, the shutoff valve 6 is opened, and the device resumes normal operation. Specifically, when the air volume in the second chamber 102 is insufficient, affecting the production of bubble water, the shutoff valve 6 is closed. At this time, the external aeration device is activated, and air is injected into the second chamber 102 through the air inlet 105. As air continues to flow into the second chamber 102, the air pressure within the second chamber 102 gradually increases. The remaining bubble water is pushed toward the water outlet 104 under the action of the gas pressure, forming an exhaust water flow. At the same time, because the second water flow path 4 is normally open, water will continue to flow out of the second water flow path 4. The water flow in the second water flow path 4, combined with the exhaust water flow generated by the gas pressure, ensures that water can continue to flow out of the water outlet 104 during the aeration phase, meeting the user's normal water needs.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 In one possible embodiment, a partition plate 2 is further included. The side wall of the first cavity 101 is provided with a first through hole 1011. The partition plate 2 is provided with a second through hole 201. The first through hole 1011 is connected to the second through hole 201 to form a first water flow path 3, wherein the diameter of the second through hole 201 is smaller than the diameter of the first through hole 1011. During use, water flows from the first through hole 1011 to the second through hole 201. Since the diameter of the second through hole 201 is smaller than the diameter of the first through hole 1011, when the water flows from the first through hole 1011 into the second through hole 201, the flow area decreases. According to the principles of fluid mechanics, the water flow speed will increase, and the pressure will also increase accordingly. The high-speed water flow is injected into the air in the second cavity 102 at a greater pressure. This high-speed and high-pressure water flow can quickly contact and mix with the air, causing the air to be dispersed in the water in the form of tiny bubbles, initially forming bubble water.

[0043] In particular, the second water flow path 4 is provided on the partition plate 2, and the diameter of the second water flow path 4 is smaller than the diameter of the second through hole 201. The second water flow path 4 is formed into a through-hole structure. After water enters the first cavity 101 from the water inlet end 103, it will face two paths to enter the second cavity 102. The first path is through the first water flow path 3, which is formed by connecting the first through hole 1011 with the second through hole 201. The water flows from the first through hole 1011 to the second through hole 201, and then flows from the second through hole 201 into the second cavity 102. The second path is through the second water flow path 4, and the diameter of the second water flow path 4 is smaller than the diameter of the second through hole 201.

[0044] That is, when the diameter of the second water flow passage 4 is smaller than the diameter of the second through hole 201, and the diameter of the second through hole 201 is smaller than the diameter of the first through hole 1011, water flows primarily from the first water flow passage 3 into the second cavity 102, i.e., from the first through hole 1011 to the second through hole 201 and then into the second cavity 102. It will be appreciated that even during gas replenishment, the amount of water flowing from the second water flow passage 4 into the second cavity 102 will not cause a gas-liquid imbalance, thereby ensuring smooth gas replenishment and stable generation of bubbling water.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In a possible embodiment, a U-shaped baffle 5 is further included, and the concave direction of the U-shaped baffle 5 is opposite to the water outlet direction of the first water flow channel 3 and the second water flow channel 4.

[0046] It is understood that the water flowing out of the second through-hole 201 is injected into the second cavity 102 at high speed, mixing with the air above the U-shaped baffle 5, forming a water flow with a certain bubble content. The special structure of the U-shaped baffle can provide a certain buffering and guiding effect on the water flow, allowing the water flow to remain within the U-shaped baffle 5 for a period of time, further promoting the fusion of bubbles and water, achieving primary air dissolution, and forming micro-nano bubble water. As water continues to enter the U-shaped baffle 5, when the water fills the U-shaped baffle 5, the excess water will overflow from the edge of the U-shaped baffle 5. The overflowing water flows down to the second cavity 102 in a waterfall-like manner. During this process, the water flow again contacts and mixes with the air in the second cavity 102.

[0047] Because the waterfall-like water flow has a large surface area and a certain impact force, it can further dissolve gases such as oxygen in the air into the water, making the bubbles smaller and more uniform, achieving secondary gas dissolution. After two gas dissolution processes, the final micro-nano bubble water is of higher quality.

[0048] In particular, in one possible embodiment, the concave surface of the U-shaped baffle 5 is provided with a through-hole 501 extending axially therethrough, with the water inlet 103, the second water flow path 4, the through-hole 501, and the water outlet 104 being coaxially opposed. In other words, in the second water flow path 4, when water enters the first cavity 101 from the water inlet 103, a small portion of water flows directly into the water outlet 104 via the path between the second water flow path 4 and the through-hole 501. Simultaneously, during air replenishment, the gas pressure forces the remaining bubbled water in the second cavity 102 to flow toward the water outlet 104. These two water flows together toward the water outlet 104, ensuring that the user can continue to use water during the air replenishment phase.

[0049] It should be noted that the stop valve 6 of the present application is a normally open stop valve. When gas needs to be added to the second cavity 102, the stop valve 6 needs to be closed. At this time, the water flow in the first water flow path 3 will be cut off.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 2 In one possible embodiment, two opposing sidewalls of the second chamber 102 are each provided with a plurality of stoppers 1021, with the ends of the U-shaped baffle 5 correspondingly embedded within the region formed by the stoppers 1021. The stoppers 1021 provide precise positioning points for the U-shaped baffle. The ends of the U-shaped baffle 5 correspondingly embedded within the region formed by the stoppers 1021 ensure that the U-shaped baffle 5 is accurately positioned after installation and prevents displacement due to water flow impact or external vibration, thereby ensuring the continuity and stability of the dissolved gas process.

[0051] In a possible embodiment, a cover plate 7 is further included, which is detachably covered on the openings 106 of the first cavity 101 and the second cavity 102 by a number of fasteners. It can be understood that when the bubble water device is in a non-working state, the user can clean the first cavity 101 and the second cavity 102 through the opening 106 or perform internal inspection and maintenance on the two cavities, thereby increasing the service life of the bubble water device and ensuring the cleanliness of the water used by the user. In the working state, the cover plate 7 tightly closes the opening 106, so that the first cavity 101 and the second cavity 102 remain independent, ensuring the stability and efficiency of the gas dissolution process. In other words, the cover plate 7 can prevent the water flow from communicating with each other through the opening 106, thereby preventing the aggregation and rupture of bubbles and improving the gas dissolution effect.

[0052] In one possible embodiment, a rubber gasket 8 is provided at one end of the opening 106 facing the cover plate 7. The rubber gasket 8 is located between the opening 106 and the cover plate 7. When the cover plate 7 is fastened to the opening 106 by fasteners, the rubber gasket 8 is compressed, forming a tight seal, which helps prevent water from leaking from the opening 106 and ensures the sealing of the bubble water device when in operation.
