Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of beverage equipment and relates to an atomization mechanism of a carbonated water tank. Background Art
[0002] Carbonated water is a common beverage in today's life. It is generally made by pressing carbon dioxide into purified drinking water. Due to its unique taste, it is widely favored by consumers.
[0003] In the current existing technology, with the continuous improvement of living standards, food hygiene and safety is a part of life that is highly valued. Carbonated beverages sold on the market are not accepted due to the various additives and sugar ingredients contained therein. Therefore, small-scale carbonated water preparation machines have gradually entered the public eye. The carbonated water preparation machines in the existing technology generally include a tank body with a hollow interior and a faucet connected to the outer wall. An air inlet pipe and a water inlet pipe are connected to the tank body. When working, carbon dioxide is input into the tank cavity through the air inlet pipe, and pure water is input into the tank cavity through the water inlet pipe, so that the two are fully mixed in the tank cavity to prepare carbonated water.
[0004] But in reality, the carbon dioxide introduced into the tank only makes the pressure inside the tank greater than the outside pressure. The pure water and carbon dioxide cannot be fully mixed. The actual amount of carbon dioxide injected into the pure water is very small. As a result, the taste of the prepared carbonated water does not meet the taste requirements of consumers. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the above problems in the existing technology and propose an atomization mechanism for a carbonated water tank. The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is: how to improve the carbonation effect of pure water in the tank body.
[0006] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: an atomization mechanism of a carbonated water tank, comprising a water spray joint with a water outlet, characterized in that the water outlet is in a flared shape, the atomization mechanism of the carbonated water tank also includes a centrifugal atomization head positioned on the water spray joint, the centrifugal atomization head has a water inlet channel / a water inlet channel is formed between the centrifugal atomization head and the water spray joint, a centrifugal channel is formed between the centrifugal atomization head and the water spray joint that can cause liquid to flow in a circumferential vortex, and the centrifugal channel connects the water inlet channel and the water outlet.
[0007] The water spray joint in the atomization mechanism of the present application is installed on the tank body and the water outlet hole opened therein is connected with the cavity in the tank body. On this basis, the advantage of the present application is that a centrifugal atomization head is installed on the water spray joint, so that a centrifugal channel connecting the water inlet channel and the water outlet hole is formed between the centrifugal atomization head and the water spray joint. When working, pure water is input through the water inlet channel and finally input into the cavity of the tank body through the water outlet hole. In this process, after the pure water is output from the water inlet channel, under the action of water pressure, the pure water is pressed into the centrifugal channel for centrifugal action, so that the pure water is input into the water outlet hole in a vortex-like manner. In order to achieve the purpose of increasing the flow rate of pure water, when pure water is input into the cavity through the water outlet, due to the existence of centrifugal force, the pure water will enter the cavity in a manner of being thrown out in all directions, and in the process of being thrown out, the pure water has been refined into small particles or even mist under the action of centrifugal force and the pressure in the cavity. At the same time, since the water outlet is flared, it can guide the pure water, ensuring that the small particles or even mist of pure water diffuses in the cavity over a larger range, thereby making the mixing effect of pure water and carbon dioxide more complete, thereby ensuring the carbonation effect of pure water in the tank.
[0008] In the atomization mechanism of the carbonated water tank described above, the water spray joint is cylindrical and has the water outlet at the bottom, the centrifugal atomization head is plate-shaped and has a receiving groove at the bottom, the bottom of the centrifugal atomization head has at least two strip-shaped guide strips arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction, and the two guide strips are both located in the receiving groove, the centrifugal atomization head is located in the water spray joint and forms the centrifugal channel between the receiving groove wall, the two guide strips and the inner bottom wall of the water spray joint, and the center of the centrifugal channel is connected to the water outlet. Through this arrangement, a centrifugal channel structure with a stable structure is formed in the water spray joint, and under the guiding action of each guide strip, the pure water input through the water inlet channel is fully centrifuged in the centrifugal channel, thereby ensuring the increase in the pure water flow rate.
[0009] In the above-mentioned atomization mechanism of the carbonated water tank, each of the guide strips has a head end and a tail end, and the head end of the guide strip is connected to the wall of the receiving groove, the water inlet channel is located outside the guide strip and is arranged close to the head end of the guide strip, the water outlet is located inside the guide strip, and the water inlet channel has two and is opened at intervals along the circumferential direction of the top surface of the centrifugal atomization head. Through this arrangement, the guiding effect of each guide strip on the pure water is ensured, so that the pure water flows from the circumferential edge of the receiving groove to the center of the receiving groove in the form of a vortex, ensuring that the centrifugal channel has a more sufficient centrifugal effect on the pure water, thereby ensuring that the pure water can be output to the water outlet in a vortex state, and at the same time, the distance that the pure water flows in the centrifugal channel is maximized, thereby ensuring that the flow speed of the pure water after the centrifugal effect is the maximum.
[0010] In the above-mentioned atomization mechanism of the carbonated water tank, each of the water inlet channels is long and curved, so that the shape and arrangement direction of the water inlet channel are adapted to the centrifugal channel, thereby avoiding turbulence of pure water during the transition from the water inlet channel to the centrifugal channel.
[0011] In the above-mentioned atomization mechanism of the carbonated water tank, the atomization mechanism of the carbonated water tank also includes an annular compression sleeve, the circumferential outer wall of the centrifugal atomization head is in contact with the circumferential inner wall of the water spray joint, and the compression sleeve is embedded in the water spray joint and presses the centrifugal atomization head against the inner bottom wall of the water spray joint. Through this arrangement, the installation stability of the centrifugal atomization head is ensured. In addition, except for the centrifugal channel, other gaps are effectively blocked, effectively preventing a small amount of pure water from being directly output from the water outlet through the gap, ensuring that the centrifugal force of the entire water flow is maintained at the maximum state, thereby ensuring the water flow rate.
[0012] In the atomization mechanism of the carbonated water tank described above, the water spray joint is cylindrical and has the water outlet at the bottom, the centrifugal atomization head is cylindrical, has a receiving groove with a circular cross section at the bottom, and has at least two staggered water grooves radially arranged on the outer wall of the bottom of the centrifugal atomization head, the centrifugal atomization head is located in the water spray joint and forms the centrifugal channel between the receiving groove wall, the inner bottom wall of the water spray joint and the water groove wall, and the center of the centrifugal channel is connected to the water outlet. Through this arrangement, a centrifugal channel structure with a stable structure is formed in the water spray joint, and under the guiding action of each water groove, the pure water input through the water inlet channel flows from the circumferential edge of the receiving groove to the center of the receiving groove in a vortex manner, ensuring that the centrifugal effect of the centrifugal channel on the pure water is more sufficient, thereby ensuring that the flow rate of the pure water is further enhanced.
[0013] In the above-mentioned atomization mechanism of the carbonated water tank, the plurality of water-passing grooves are symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis centerline of the water-spraying joint, so that the purified water flows radially along the bottom surface of the water-spraying joint when input into the centrifugal channel, thereby ensuring that the purified water can flow along the circumferential groove wall of the containing groove after entering the centrifugal channel, thereby ensuring the centrifugal channel's function of guiding and accelerating the flow of purified water.
[0014] In the atomization mechanism of the carbonated water tank, an annular groove is provided on the outer wall of the lower end of the centrifugal atomization head in the circumferential direction, and a strip groove is provided on the upper end of the centrifugal atomization head in the radial direction. The water inlet channel is formed between the strip groove wall, the annular groove wall and the inner bottom wall of the water spray joint. Through this arrangement, the purified water flows around the centrifugal atomization head in the water inlet channel before entering the centrifugal channel, ensuring that no turbulence occurs in the process of the purified water passing through the water inlet channel into the centrifugal channel. In addition, the arrangement of the strip groove can ensure that the user can adjust the position or disassemble the centrifugal atomization head with a screwdriver.
[0015] In the above-mentioned atomization mechanism of the carbonated water tank, the groove wall of the strip groove is perpendicular to the groove walls of the two water-passing grooves. Through this arrangement, the distance that the purified water flows in the water inlet is maximized, so as to ensure that the purified water flows at a high speed around the centrifugal atomization head and enters the centrifugal channel through the water-passing groove.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the atomization mechanism of the carbonated water tank has the following advantages:
[0017] The centrifugal atomization head is positioned on the water spray joint, and a centrifugal channel connecting the water inlet channel and the water outlet channel is formed between the two. When the water flow is input, the purified water can make centrifugal motion in the centrifugal channel, so that the purified water is output at high speed through the water outlet in the form of a vortex, and because the water outlet hole is expanded, the purified water is quickly refined in the form of particles or even mist and enters the cavity of the tank body to mix with carbon dioxide, so as to ensure the carbonation effect of the purified water.

[0038] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0039] Embodiment 1
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in the atomization mechanism of the carbonated water tank, the carbonated water tank includes a tank body 6 having a cavity 61 inside, combined with Figure 2-6 The atomizing mechanism includes a cylindrical water spraying joint 1 and a plate-shaped centrifugal atomizing head 2. A mounting hole is provided at the top of the tank body 6. The water spraying joint 1 is embedded and fixed in the mounting hole. A water outlet hole 11 is provided at the bottom of the water spraying joint 1 and is vertically arranged and connected. Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a receiving groove 21 is provided at the bottom of the centrifugal atomizing head 2, and two long strip-shaped guide strips 211 are integrally formed at the bottom of the centrifugal atomizing head 2. The two guide strips 211 are both located in the receiving groove 21 and are arranged along the circumferential bending of the centrifugal atomizing head 2. The centrifugal atomizing head 2 is located in the water spraying joint 1 and makes its own circumferential outer wall fit with the circumferential inner wall of the water spraying joint 1, so that a centrifugal channel 4 whose center is connected to the water outlet 11 is formed between the groove wall of the receiving groove 21, each guide strip 211 and the inner bottom wall of the water spraying joint 1, and two water inlet channels 3 connected to the centrifugal channel 4 are provided at the top of the centrifugal atomizing head 2, and the inner end of each water inlet channel 3 is located on the outside of the guide strip 211 and is arranged close to the head end of the guide strip 211, and each water inlet channel 3 is long and curved in an arc.
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the atomizing mechanism further includes a one-way valve 7, a connecting sleeve 9 and a connecting cap 8, wherein the one-way valve 7 is specifically composed of a valve body 73, a valve core 72 and a spring 71, the valve body 73 is connected to the upper end of the water spray joint 1 by a screw connection, and a sealing ring 12 is provided between the two to ensure the sealing between the two, the connecting sleeve 9 is placed on the valve body 73, and is pressed on the valve body 73 through the threaded cooperation between the connecting cap 8 and the valve body 73, and an annular sealing gasket 74 is provided between the connecting sleeve 9 and the valve body 73 to ensure the sealing between the two, in addition, the atomizing mechanism further includes a compression sleeve 5 which is annular and embedded in the water spray joint 1, the valve core 72 is movably connected in the valve body 73, one end of the spring 71 is pressed against the bottom of the valve core 72 to realize the valve core 72 controlling the water passage, and the other end of the spring 71 is pressed against the compression sleeve 5, so that the centrifugal atomizing head 2 is firmly positioned on the inner bottom wall of the water spray joint 1.
[0042] It is worth mentioning that the water outlet hole 11 opened on the water spray joint 1 is specifically flared at the lower end and straight at the upper end. The advantages of this structure are, firstly, it is more cost-saving in processing. Processing the water outlet hole 11 as a whole into a flared shape may cause damage to the circumferential hole wall at the upper end of the water outlet hole 11. Secondly, when transporting pure water, the upper end of the water outlet hole 11 can also play a certain role in maintaining the water flow, so as to ensure that the centrifugal force of the water flow can be maintained after the water flow is output from the centrifugal channel 4, thereby ensuring that the pure water is fully refined under the action of the lower end of the water outlet hole 11.
[0043] Working principle: carbon dioxide is input into the cavity 61 of the tank body 6 through the air path, and at the same time, by connecting the water pipe to the connecting sleeve 9, pure water is input through the connecting cap 8 and the one-way valve 7, and is passed into the centrifugal channel 4 through the water inlet channel 3. At this time, due to the subsequent water pressure, the pure water can flow in the centrifugal channel 4 in a vortex shape. When input into the cavity 61 of the tank body 6 through the water outlet hole 11, the pure water is thrown out into particles or even mist under the action of centrifugal force and the pressure in the cavity 61. Due to the shape of the water outlet hole 11, the small particles or even mist of pure water are guaranteed to diffuse in the cavity 61 over a larger range, so that the mixing effect of pure water and carbon dioxide is more sufficient, thereby ensuring the carbonation effect of pure water in the tank body 6.
