Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bubble water generation, in particular to a device for producing bubble water. Background Art

[0002] There are many types of household sparkling water machines on the market. The higher the carbon dioxide content in the sparkling water, the better the taste of the sparkling water. Therefore, it is necessary to consider solutions to increase the carbon dioxide content in the sparkling water.

[0003] Chinese patent application number CN219186493U discloses a sparkling water production device comprising an outer tank for storing drinking water; a sealed inner tank nested within the outer tank; a second water inlet, an air inlet pipe extending into the bottom of the inner tank and capable of introducing carbon dioxide gas; and an outlet pipe extending into the bottom of the inner tank; a refrigeration unit for cooling the drinking water; and a booster pump that injects drinking water from the outer tank into the inner tank through the second water inlet. When sparkling water is needed, the valve in the outlet pipe is opened. The pressure of the carbon dioxide gas applied to the bottom of the inner tank causes the water to flow out of the inner tank along the outlet pipe. A portion of pre-made sparkling water is always retained in the inner tank, allowing users to quickly obtain high-carbon dioxide content sparkling water.

[0004] However, the disadvantages of the prior art are also obvious. Since a special atomizing device needs to be installed at the water inlet to atomize the water, the cost is high and it is not conducive to mass production. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a device for making bubble water, which does not require a special atomizing device to be installed at the water inlet, thereby further saving costs.

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is achieved as follows: a device for making sparkling water, comprising:

[0007] A sparkling water tank containing sparkling water and having a top cover;

[0008] A circular tubular water pipe connected to a clean drinking water source, the water pipe being connected to the air cavity of the bubble water tank, and the water pipe being provided with a water pump for delivering water into the bubble water tank;

[0009] a carbon dioxide gas supply pipe connected to the air chamber of the sparkling water tank;

[0010] a bubble water output pipeline connected to the bubble water tank and used to output the bubble water;

[0011] The top cover is provided with a circular water inlet hole, the water pipe is fixedly connected to the top cover and is coaxially connected to the water inlet hole, and the aperture of the water inlet hole is smaller than that of the water pipe;

[0012] A water baffle is fixedly connected to a portion of the inner wall of the bubble water tank corresponding to the air cavity of the bubble water tank, and the water baffle is located directly below the water inlet hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the diameter of the water inlet hole is 1 mm.

[0014] Furthermore, the top cover is provided with an air inlet hole, and the carbon dioxide supply pipe is connected to the air cavity of the bubble water tank through the air inlet hole.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] There is no need to set up a special atomization device. It is only necessary to open a special water inlet hole on the top cover, and change the diameter of the cold water in the water pipe into a thinner water flow. After hitting the water baffle, the water flow will be broken up into several small water droplets (similar to water mist, that is, the water is atomized). At this time, the carbon dioxide supply pipe releases the carbon dioxide gas into the air cavity in the bubble water tank through the air inlet hole, so that the carbon dioxide gas is in full contact with the several small water droplets, increasing the contact area between cold water and carbon dioxide gas, thereby increasing the amount of carbon dioxide gas dissolved in the bubble water, and generating bubble water with better taste.

[0021] The following is a combination of the appended examples of the present invention Figure 1-4 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a device for making sparkling water is proposed, comprising:

[0023] A sparkling water tank 1 containing sparkling water 2, with a top cover 101 on the top;

[0024] A circular tubular water pipe 7 connected to a clean drinking water source, the water pipe 7 is connected to the air cavity of the bubble water tank 1, and a water pump 6 is provided on the water pipe 7 for delivering water into the bubble water tank 1;

[0025] a carbon dioxide gas supply pipe 8 connected to a carbon dioxide gas source and connected to the air cavity of the bubble water tank 1;

[0026] The bubble water output pipeline 4 connected to the water outlet is connected to the bubble water tank 1 and is used to output the bubble water 2 to the user for drinking.

[0027] The top cover 101 is provided with a circular water inlet 102 , and the water pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the top cover 101 and coaxially communicated with the water inlet 102 . The diameter of the water inlet 102 is smaller than that of the water pipe 7 .

[0028] The portion of the inner wall of the bubble water tank 1 corresponding to the air cavity of the bubble water tank 1 is fixedly connected with a water baffle 3 , that is, the water baffle 3 is located at the upper part of the inner cavity of the bubble water tank 1 ; the water baffle 3 is located directly below the water inlet hole 102 .

[0029] The top cover 101 is provided with an air inlet 103 , and the carbon dioxide supply pipe 8 is connected to the air cavity of the sparkling water tank 1 through the air inlet 103 .

[0030] In order to ensure the atomization effect, the diameter of the water inlet hole 102 is preferably 1 mm.

[0031] When generating bubble water, the water pump 6 delivers cold water to the bubble water tank 1 through the water pipe 7. After the water flows through the water inlet hole 102, the cold water flow will form a thin stream to impact the water baffle 3. After hitting the water baffle 3, the water flow will be broken up into a number of small water droplets (similar to water mist, that is, the water is atomized). At this time, the carbon dioxide supply pipe 8 releases carbon dioxide gas into the air cavity in the bubble water tank 1 through the air inlet hole 103, so that the carbon dioxide gas is fully in contact with the several small water droplets, increasing the contact area between cold water and carbon dioxide gas, thereby increasing the amount of carbon dioxide gas dissolved in the bubble water, and generating bubble water with better taste.

[0032] The following four embodiments are provided for the structural scheme of the water retaining plate 3. It is worth mentioning that the four embodiments listed are preferred embodiments, and other structural forms of the water retaining plate 3 are not excluded.

[0033] like Figure 1The figure shows a first embodiment, in which the water baffle 3 includes a flat plate portion 302 and a vertical plate portion 301. The flat plate portion 302 is located directly below the water inlet hole 102, and the vertical plate portion 301 is fixedly connected to the top cover 101. That is, the entire water baffle 3 is set as an L-shaped plate, which is fixedly connected to the top cover 101, so that the water baffle 3 is fixed to the upper part of the inner cavity of the bubble water tank 1, and the release point of the carbon dioxide gas (the air inlet hole 103) is on the top cover 101, which is equivalent to the release of the carbon dioxide gas at the upper part of the inner cavity of the bubble water tank 1, thereby further ensuring the contact surface between the cold water and the carbon dioxide gas.

[0034] like Figure 2 The second embodiment is shown. In order to more securely fix the water baffle 3 so that the water baffle 3 can better withstand the long-term impact of the cold water flow, the upper end of the vertical plate portion 301 is bent into a flat plate structure and fixedly attached to the inner surface of the top cover 101.

[0035] like Figure 3 A third embodiment is shown, in which the water baffle 3 is entirely configured as a flat plate structure, which is more simplified, and its edge is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bubble water tank 1 .

[0036] like Figure 4 The fourth embodiment is shown in the figure, in which the water baffle 3 is configured as an inclined plate structure as a whole, the edge of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bubble water tank 1, and the water baffle 3 is tilted downward at a certain angle based on its fixed connection point. The tilt angle can be determined according to the specific situation (for example, 5-10°). After hitting the water baffle 3, the water flow is dispersed in the direction of the air inlet 103, further improving the contact degree between cold water and carbon dioxide gas.

[0037] In order to improve the reliability of the structure, the water baffle 3 is fixedly connected with a reinforcing rib 5, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bubble water tank 1 and supports the water baffle 3, so that the water baffle 3 can better withstand the long-term impact of the cold water flow.

[0038] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "front", "back", etc. indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention; in the present invention, it should also be noted that the terms "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, an integrally formed connection, a mechanical connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate connecting component, and the specific meaning of the terms in this utility model can be understood based on the specific circumstances.

[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
