DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0022] Example:
[0023] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 , the utility model provides a technical solution:
[0024] A carbonization cylinder for enhancing carbonization effect comprises a cylinder body 1, characterized in that: a cylinder head 2 is installed on the top of the cylinder body 1, a liquid level sensor 3, a water inlet pipe 4, an air inlet pipe 5 and a water outlet pipe 6 are plugged on the cylinder head 2, a pressure relief valve 7 is installed on the top of the cylinder head 2, the liquid level sensor 3 extends to the inner side of the cylinder body 1 and a probe 8 is installed, a protective sleeve 9 is provided on the outer side of the probe 8, a liquid blocking cover 10 is fixedly installed inside the cylinder body 1, an air separator 11 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the air inlet pipe 5 and located on the upper and lower sides of the liquid blocking cover 10, a plurality of groups of air outlet holes 12 are provided on the outer side of the air separator 11, uncarbonized beverage is introduced into the inner side of the cylinder body 1 through the water inlet pipe 4, and the uncarbonized beverage falls on the liquid blocking cover 10 after entering the inner side of the cylinder body 1, and the uncarbonized beverage is ejected. During the process of carbonizing the beverage, the protective sleeve 9 is used to protect the outer side of the probe 8 to avoid false alarms from the liquid level sensor 3. The gas distributor 11 evenly discharges the carbon dioxide introduced by the air inlet pipe 5 through the air outlet 12, so that it fills the upper part of the liquid retaining cover 10 inside the cylinder body 1 and fully contacts with the lasered beverage for carbonization. At the same time, when the beverage flows into the bottom of the liquid retaining cover 10, the gas distributor 11 at the bottom of the air inlet pipe 5 is used to fill carbon dioxide into the beverage flowing under the liquid retaining cover 10, and further carbonizes the beverage for the second time, which greatly improves the carbonization effect of the beverage. The carbonized beverage is discharged through the water outlet pipe 6. During the carbonization process of the beverage, when the pressure in the cylinder body 1 is too high, the pressure relief valve 7 is used to release the pressure in time to ensure the normal operation of the cylinder body 1.
[0025] Firstly, the connection between the cylinder body 1 and the cylinder head 2 is fixedly connected with a sealing edge 101, and the inner sides of the two sets of sealing edges 101 are provided with a sealing groove 102, and the inner sides of the sealing groove 102 are installed with a rubber sealing ring 103. After the cylinder body 1 and the cylinder head 2 are closed, the outer sealing edge 101 fits tightly, and the rubber sealing ring 103 in the sealing groove 102 is used to ensure the sealing of the cylinder body 1 during operation, and at the same time, it is convenient to open the cylinder head 2 to clean the inside.
[0026] Furthermore, multiple groups of first clamps 104 are installed on the outer sides of the two groups of sealing edges 101, and the tops of the multiple groups of first clamps 104 are rotatably connected to the second clamps 105. The inner sides of the first clamps 104 are rotatably connected to the fixing columns 106, and the tops of the fixing columns 106 and the tops of the second clamps 105 are threadedly connected with fixing nuts 107. The first clamps 104 and the second clamps 105 are put on the outer sides of the two groups of sealing edges 101, and then the fixing nuts 107 are tightened to fix the first clamps 104 and the second clamps 105, thereby ensuring the connection strength of the two groups of sealing edges 101 and ensuring the sealing of the cylinder body 1.
[0027] Then, valves 401 are installed at the top of the water inlet pipe 4, the air inlet pipe 5 and the water outlet pipe 6. The bottom end of the water inlet pipe 4 extends to the top of the liquid blocking cover 10, and the bottom end of the water outlet pipe 6 extends to the bottom of the liquid blocking cover 10. After the beverage at the bottom of the water inlet pipe 4 is discharged, it can fall on the liquid blocking cover 10 and be sprayed, thereby fully contacting with the carbon dioxide to improve the carbonization effect. The beverage that has undergone secondary carbonization is finally discharged from the water outlet pipe 6.
[0028] Furthermore, the pressure relief valve 7 includes a valve body 701, an air outlet head 702, a main air passage 703, a spring 704, a top ball 705, a rubber sealing ring 706 and an exhaust passage 707. The valve body 701 is fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder head 2, the air outlet head 702 is fixedly connected to the top of the valve body 701, the main air passage 703 is opened at the center of the valve body 701, the spring 704 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the main air passage 703, the top ball 705 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the spring 704, the rubber sealing ring 706 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the top ball 705, and the exhaust passage 707 is fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder head 2. 07 is symmetrically opened inside the valve body 701 and located on the outside of the rubber sealing ring 706. When the cylinder body 1 is working, the carbonized pressing top ball 705 makes the rubber sealing ring 706 seal the exhaust passage 707 to avoid air leakage inside the cylinder body 1. When the pressure inside the cylinder body 1 is too high and greater than the tightening pressure of the spring 704, the top ball 705 moves up and the rubber sealing ring 706 releases the seal on the exhaust passage 707, so that the excess gas is discharged from the exhaust passage 707 into the main air passage 703, and finally discharged from the outside of the air outlet head 702, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the cylinder body 1.
[0029] Secondly, multiple groups of liquid inlet sensing holes 901 are opened on the outside of the protective cover 9, and the multiple groups of liquid inlet sensing holes 901 are evenly spaced outside the protective cover 9. During the injection process of uncarbonated beverages, the protective cover 9 is used to protect the outside of the probe 8. At the same time, as the amount of beverage increases, the beverage can slowly enter the inside of the protective cover 9 through the liquid inlet sensing holes 901 and contact and sense the probe 8.
[0030] Finally, the liquid retaining cover 10 is designed in a conical structure, and a plurality of liquid through ports 1001 are provided at the edge of the bottom end of the liquid retaining cover 10. The plurality of liquid through ports 1001 are evenly spaced on the liquid retaining cover 10. The conical liquid retaining cover 10 enables the uncarbonated beverage to be better ejected after falling, and fully contact with the carbon dioxide to improve the carbonization effect, and then enter the bottom of the liquid retaining cover 10 through the liquid through ports 1001 for secondary carbonization, thereby greatly improving the carbonization effect of the beverage.
[0031] In this embodiment, the implementation scenario is specifically as follows: uncarbonated beverage is introduced into the inner side of the cylinder body 1 through the water inlet pipe 4, and the uncarbonated beverage enters the inner side of the cylinder body 1 and then falls onto the liquid blocking cover 10 for lasering. During the lasering process of the uncarbonated beverage, the protective sleeve 9 is used to protect the outer side of the probe 8 to avoid false alarms from the liquid level sensor 3, and the gas distributor 11 discharges the carbon dioxide introduced by the air inlet pipe 5 evenly through the air outlet 12, so that it fills the upper side of the liquid blocking cover 10 inside the cylinder body 1 and fully contacts with the lasered beverage for carbonization. At the same time, when the beverage flows into the lower side of the liquid blocking cover 10, the air inlet plate 11 is used to discharge the carbon dioxide introduced by the air inlet pipe 5 evenly. The gas distributor 11 at the bottom end of the tube 5 injects carbon dioxide into the beverage flowing under the liquid blocking cover 10, further performs secondary carbonization on the beverage, which greatly improves the carbonization effect of the beverage. The carbonized beverage is discharged through the water outlet pipe 6. During the carbonization process of the beverage, when the pressure in the cylinder body 1 is too high, the pressure relief valve 7 is used to release the pressure in time to ensure the normal operation of the cylinder body 1. The whole operation process is simple and convenient. Compared with the existing carbonization cylinder, the utility model can improve the carbonization effect of the carbonization cylinder on the beverage through design, and at the same time can avoid the false alarm of the liquid level sensor 3 to ensure the normal operation of the cylinder body 1.
