Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bathroom equipment technology, specifically to a mineralizing antibacterial release device that alters the properties of bath water and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently available showerheads and water treatment dispensers with filtration or mineralization functions typically consist of mineral particles with antibacterial or water-improving properties directly packed into fixed internal cavities. In actual use, water flow can only passively penetrate these statically deposited mineral layers through permeation. Over time, the mineral particles easily adhere and clump together due to prolonged immersion in moisture and their own weight. Since fluids spontaneously seek the path of least resistance when under pressure, this clumping phenomenon creates localized water flow channels within the mineral layer, while areas not effectively penetrated by the water flow become stagnant zones. This significantly reduces the uniformity of mineral release and the overall utilization rate of the filter media.

[0003] To address the stagnant water problem caused by static water flow, some products have attempted to add hydraulically driven rotating components inside the flow channel, trying to use the kinetic energy of the water flow to agitate the flow field. However, existing internal rotating components mostly use a structure where a hard plastic shaft is directly inserted into a shaft hole. This purely physical friction transmission method based on direct material contact is prone to severe mechanical wear after prolonged operation. Especially under conditions of high-frequency rotation or low water supply pressure, the rotating components often experience a sharp decrease in speed or even jamming due to the difficulty in overcoming frictional resistance, resulting in the failure of the dispersing effect on the water flow.

[0004] Furthermore, regarding the assembly of the internal structure, existing release devices commonly use through-hole screws for connection when fixing the internal flow channel support. This design allows the fastener mounting holes to be directly adjacent to or even connected to the internal high-pressure water-absorbing cavity. In everyday shower environments, the product needs to withstand the thermal expansion and contraction caused by alternating hot and cold water, as well as the water hammer impact when the water flow is turned on. The mating surfaces between the metal screws and the plastic hole walls are prone to microscopic deformation and loosening under alternating stress. The internal high-pressure water flow will gradually leak into the outer shell along these deformation gaps, seriously affecting the overall structural sealing and service life of the product. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mineralizing and antibacterial release device that alters the properties of bath water and its usage method, in order to solve the technical problems in the prior art where minerals are in a static soaking state for a long time, which easily creates dead zones in the water flow, leading to mineral agglomeration, powder clogging of the channels, and low release efficiency and poor stability of mineralized ions caused by uneven local water flow distribution.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A mineralizing antibacterial release device that alters the properties of bath water includes a head shell bathroom device and a water outlet panel bathroom device fixed to the front opening of the head shell bathroom device.

[0008] The inner cavity of the head shell bathroom device is equipped with a mineral wheel shell support bathroom device, a rotating mineral wheel bathroom device, and a mineral core bathroom device; the bottom water inlet side of the mineral wheel shell support bathroom device is provided with a water flow buffer chamber bathroom device.

[0009] The Venturi nozzle slit bathroom device is perforated on the partition surface at the top of the water flow buffer chamber bathroom device. The channel axis of the Venturi nozzle slit bathroom device is offset from the central rotation axis of the rotating mineral wheel bathroom device, and the water outlet side of the Venturi nozzle slit bathroom device faces the cylindrical outer contour surface of the rotating mineral wheel bathroom device.

[0010] The stainless steel waterproof bearing bathroom equipment is symmetrically embedded on the two inner walls of the main body of the mineral wheel shell bracket bathroom equipment. The two ends of the rotating mineral wheel bathroom equipment are coaxially inserted and rotatably connected to the inner ring of the stainless steel waterproof bearing bathroom equipment on both sides.

[0011] The mineral wheel shell support bathroom equipment has two solid bases on both sides of the bottom and an arched area on the top, respectively, through which are opened staggered waterproof screw holes one and two. The staggered waterproof screw holes one and two are spatially staggered, and the hole walls of the staggered waterproof screw holes one and two are isolated from the water flow channel inside the mineral wheel shell support bathroom equipment.

[0012] The mineral core bathroom device is arranged in the cavity formed between the head shell bathroom device and the water outlet panel bathroom device, and the mineral core bathroom device is located downstream of the water flow of the rotating mineral wheel bathroom device.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention:

[0014] The bottom end of the mineral wheel shell support bathroom equipment has an integrally formed stepped hollow pipe joint extending downwards. The hollow pipe joint has a horn-shaped cavity that expands in diameter from bottom to top. The horn-shaped cavity constitutes the water flow buffer chamber bathroom equipment.

[0015] The Venturi nozzle slit bathroom device is a horizontally arranged long strip narrow slit, or a single row or multiple rows of tapered cross-section holes;

[0016] The aperture or slit width of the Venturi nozzle slit bathroom device is between 0.8 mm and 2.2 mm.

[0017] The main body of the mineral wheel housing bracket bathroom equipment is a U-shaped frame structure, and the stainless steel waterproof bearing bathroom equipment is embedded in the mounting grooves corresponding to the two side walls of the U-shaped frame structure.

[0018] The rotating mineral wheel bathroom fixture is cylindrical, with convex shafts at both ends, which are rotatably connected to the inner ring of the stainless steel waterproof bearing bathroom fixture.

[0019] It also includes a tubular handle-shaped bathroom device; the bottom of the handle-shaped bathroom device is provided with an external water inlet, and its top water outlet side is connected to the internal flow channel of the head shell bathroom device; the mineral wheel shell bracket bathroom device is coaxially embedded in the inner cavity of the head shell bathroom device, and is fixedly connected to the head shell bathroom device by fasteners passing through the misaligned waterproof screw hole one bathroom device and the misaligned waterproof screw hole two bathroom device, and the water inlet side of the water flow buffer chamber bathroom device faces the handle-shaped bathroom device.

[0020] The mineral core bathroom fixture has a granular structure, which is composed of multiple spherical mineral particles with a diameter of 2.0 mm to 2.5 mm. The total volume of the mineral core bathroom fixture filled in the cavity formed between the head shell bathroom fixture and the water outlet panel bathroom fixture occupies two-thirds of the total volume of the cavity.

[0021] The inner surface of the water outlet panel bathroom device is attached with a honeycomb-shaped anti-leakage mesh, and the diameter of a single hole in the honeycomb-shaped anti-leakage mesh is less than 2.0 mm.

[0022] The PP cotton filter cartridge is slidably inserted and detachably installed in the water inlet pipe cavity inside the handle-type bathroom device; the interior of the PP cotton filter cartridge is filled with the aforementioned mineral core bathroom device.

[0023] In addition, the present invention also provides a method of using a mineralizing antibacterial release device that changes the properties of bath water. The mineralizing antibacterial release device includes a head shell bathroom device, a water outlet panel bathroom device, a mineral wheel shell support bathroom device, a water flow buffer chamber bathroom device, a Venturi nozzle slit bathroom device, a rotating mineral wheel bathroom device, a stainless steel waterproof bearing bathroom device, and a mineral core bathroom device.

[0024] The method of use includes the following fluid dynamics and mechanical coordination steps:

[0025] S1. Water flows into the water flow buffer chamber at the bottom of the mineral wheel shell support bathroom equipment;

[0026] S2. The water in the water flow buffer chamber bathroom device flows out through the Venturi nozzle slit bathroom device and impacts the outer contour surface of the rotating mineral wheel bathroom device in a direction deviating from the central axis, driving the rotating mineral wheel bathroom device to rotate along the stainless steel waterproof bearing bathroom device.

[0027] S3. The rotating mineral wheel bathroom device physically shears and centrifugally throws out the water flow, and the water flow rushes into the cavity formed between the head shell bathroom device and the water outlet panel bathroom device.

[0028] S4. Water flow impacts the mineral core bathroom device arranged in the cavity, causing the mineral core bathroom device to roll and collide in the cavity. After passing through the surface of the mineral core bathroom device, the water flows out from the water outlet panel bathroom device.

[0029] This invention provides a mineralizing antibacterial release device that alters the properties of bath water and its method of use. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] 1. This invention converts the water flow in the buffer chamber into a jet by setting a Venturi nozzle slit offset from the central axis of the rotating mineral wheel, driving the rotating mineral wheel to rotate on a stainless steel waterproof bearing. The rotating mineral wheel physically shears and throws out the water flow, and the dispersed water flow directly impacts the spherical mineral core filled in the downstream cavity, causing the mineral particles to continuously tumble and collide within the cavity. This structure avoids the adhesion and clumping problems that occur when mineral particles are immersed in static water for a long time, ensuring the uniformity and stability of mineral release.

[0031] 2. The mineral wheel housing support base and top of this invention are designed with two waterproof screw holes, one and two, spatially staggered, and the walls of these screw holes are completely isolated from the water flow channels inside the support through a solid base. This structure cuts off the physical path of internal high-pressure water leakage to the outer housing along the gaps in the fastening screw holes, solves the defect of internal water-contacting splices being prone to leakage due to alternating hot and cold water and water pressure fluctuations, and improves the sealing reliability of the overall assembly.

[0032] 3. In this invention, stainless steel waterproof bearings are symmetrically embedded on both sides of the main body of the mineral wheel housing support, allowing the convex shafts at both ends of the rotating mineral wheel to be directly rotatably connected to the inner rings of the bearings. This transmission structure effectively reduces the mechanical frictional resistance when the water-driven rotating mineral wheel is in operation, ensuring that the rotating mineral wheel can maintain a stable rotational speed even under low water pressure conditions. It also slows down the wear of the rotating bearings and extends the service life of the internal water-driven components. Attached Figure Description

[0040] 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.

[0041] Example:

[0042] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6 One embodiment of the present invention is a mineralized antibacterial release device that alters the properties of bath water.

[0043] Please refer to the accompanying drawings. This invention provides a mineralization and antibacterial release device that alters the properties of bath water. It is mainly designed to solve the problems in the prior art where minerals are in a static soaking state for a long time, which easily leads to dead zones in the water flow, resulting in mineral agglomeration, powder clogging of the channels, and low release efficiency and poor stability of mineralized ions caused by uneven local water flow distribution.

[0044] The device includes a tubular handle 1 and a head shell 2 fixed at a set angle to the handle 1.

[0045] The bottom of the handle 1 is provided with an external water inlet, and the water outlet side at its top is connected to the internal flow channel of the head shell 2. The head shell 2 is constructed as a hollow receiving cavity, and a water outlet panel 3 is threadedly connected or snapped onto its front opening. The handle 1, the head shell 2, and the water outlet panel 3 together constitute the pressurized basic water channel of the release device.

[0046] The head shell 2 has a hydraulic drive assembly and a dynamic mineralization actuator fixedly arranged sequentially in the direction of water flow within its inner cavity.

[0047] Specifically, the hydraulic drive assembly includes a mineral wheel housing support 5, which is coaxially embedded and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the head housing 2.

[0048] The bottom end of the mineral wheel housing support 5 extends downward and is integrally formed with a stepped hollow pipe joint. The inside of the pipe joint is a funnel-shaped cavity that gradually expands in diameter from bottom to top, so as to form the water flow buffer chamber 8, which is used to stabilize and store the incoming water flow.

[0049] The main body of the mineral wheel housing support 5 is a U-shaped frame structure, with two sets of stainless steel waterproof bearings 11 symmetrically embedded on its two inner side walls; a cylindrical rotating mineral wheel 10 is coaxially inserted and rotatably connected to the stainless steel waterproof bearings 11 on both sides through the convex shafts at both ends, so that the rotating mineral wheel 10 is suspended and supported in the water flow channel with low resistance.

[0050] Furthermore, an upwardly inclined Venturi nozzle slit 9 is provided through the solid partition surface at the top of the water flow buffer chamber 8. The spray direction of the Venturi nozzle slit 9 is deviated from the central rotation axis of the rotating mineral wheel 10 and tangentially abuts against the cylindrical outer contour surface of the rotating mineral wheel 10.

[0051] In addition, the dynamic mineralization actuator mainly includes a mineral core 6, which is disposed in the head cavity formed between the rotating mineral wheel 10 and the water outlet panel 3 to receive the water flow after being mechanically dispersed by the rotating mineral wheel 10.

[0052] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention may further include the following preferred technical solutions:

[0053] In one optional embodiment, the Venturi nozzle slit 9 is a transversely arranged elongated narrow slit, or a single or multiple rows of tapered cross-section holes; preferably, the slit width characteristic dimension or orifice diameter dimension of the Venturi nozzle slit 9 is set to 0.8 mm to 2.2 mm. This size design takes into account both anti-clogging performance and jet acceleration effect.

[0054] In addition, to avoid mineral agglomeration, the mineral core 6 has a granular structure, specifically composed of multiple spherical mineral particles with a diameter of 2.0 mm to 2.5 mm.

[0055] The total volume of the spherical mineral core 6 filling the head cavity accounts for two-thirds of the total volume of the cavity.

[0056] Meanwhile, the inner surface of the water outlet panel 3 is attached with a honeycomb-shaped leak-proof mesh, the diameter of a single hole in the leak-proof mesh being less than 2.0 mm.

[0057] The one-third space reserved inside the cavity, combined with the limiting of the anti-leakage mesh, allows the granular mineral core 6 to tumble and collide under the impact of water flow, achieving dynamic self-cleaning.

[0058] Furthermore, a PP cotton filter cartridge 4 is slidably inserted and detachably installed in the water inlet tube cavity inside the handle 1 for preliminary physical interception of large particulate impurities.

[0059] Furthermore, the interior of the PP cotton filter cartridge 4 is also filled with the aforementioned mineral core 6 in the form of spherical particles, to form a multi-stage mineralized filtration structure.

[0060] As a further preferred embodiment, the top arched area and the thickened solid base on both sides of the bottom of the mineral wheel housing support 5 are respectively provided with staggered waterproof screw holes 12 and 7.

[0061] The misaligned waterproof screw hole 7 and the misaligned waterproof screw hole 12 are spatially misaligned, and the walls of both holes are covered by a solid structure, which isolates them from the water-trapping channel inside the mineral wheel housing bracket 5, thus avoiding the risk of high-pressure water leakage outward along the metal fastener mounting holes.

[0062] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
