DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0042] The present invention provides a soda water machine. This machine utilizes a chemical reaction to generate carbon dioxide gas, which is then dissolved in water to form soda water. Soda water is popular among consumers for its refreshing taste and its ability to neutralize stomach acid, provide antioxidant benefits, relieve fatigue, and eliminate constipation.

[0043] The soda machine may include a soda can and a refrigeration assembly.

[0044] Specifically, the refrigeration assembly has an installation space, and the soda water can is arranged in the installation space. It is understandable that the refrigeration assembly may include a water tank, an evaporator, and a cold water pipe, wherein the installation space is provided in the water tank, and the evaporator, the cold water pipe, and the soda water can are all arranged in the installation space; the water tank is used to store liquid; the evaporator is used to cool the liquid in the water tank, and the cooled liquid serves as a cooling medium to cool the liquid in the cold water pipe, wherein the evaporator is generally implemented by a refrigeration system or a heat exchange system; the cold water pipe is responsible for transporting the water cooled by the evaporator to the soda water can; that is, the water inlet end of the water tank and the water inlet end of the cold water pipe can both be connected to a liquid water source, and the cold water pipe and the evaporator are both immersed in the liquid in the water tank, so that the cooling medium in the water tank can quickly cool the liquid in the cold water pipe, and the water outlet end of the cold water pipe is connected to the soda water can to inject the cooled liquid into the soda water can.

[0045] Furthermore, the soda water machine also includes a gas tank, which is connected to the soda water tank so that the gas tank can inject carbon dioxide gas into the soda water tank; when the liquid is injected into the soda water tank, the high-pressure liquid can be mixed with the carbon dioxide to achieve a carbonization effect, thereby forming soda water.

[0046] Then, in the related art, the atomization effect of water in the soda water can is poor, so that the bubble concentration of the soda water prepared in the soda water can is low, which affects the taste of the soda water.

[0047] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a soda water can, which is described in detail below.

[0048] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 The soda water can 1 includes a can body assembly 10 and an atomization structure 20 .

[0049] Specifically, the tank assembly 10 is provided with a receiving chamber 11 and a water inlet 12, an air inlet 13, and a water outlet 14 in communication with the receiving chamber 11; an atomizing structure 20 is disposed in the receiving chamber 11 and is connected to the tank assembly 10. It is understood that the atomizing structure 20 can be installed in the receiving chamber 11 by welding, bonding, clamping, or the like; and the gas tank can be in communication with the air inlet 13 so that carbon dioxide gas in the gas tank can be injected into the receiving chamber 11 through the air inlet 13; furthermore, the atomizing structure 20 is used to atomize the liquid injected into the receiving chamber 11 through the water inlet 12. It can be understood that the water outlet of the cold water pipe is connected to the water inlet 12, so that the cooled liquid enters the accommodating chamber 11 from the water inlet 12, and due to the presence of the atomizing structure 20, part of the liquid injected from the water inlet 12 into the accommodating chamber 11 will collide violently with the atomizing structure 20, so that the water flow liquid injected from the water inlet 12 into the accommodating chamber 11 is dispersed into water droplets with a moving speed, and the water droplets with a moving speed will be reflected from the atomizing structure 20 and hit the cavity wall of the accommodating chamber 11. At this time, the water droplets hitting the accommodating chamber 11 will be reflected from the atomizing structure 20 and hit the cavity wall of the accommodating chamber 11. The water droplets on the cavity wall continue to be reflected onto the atomization structure 20, that is, the liquid water flow is subjected to multiple reciprocating cycles of collision, so that the liquid water flow becomes fine particles or mist. In this process, the liquid injected into the accommodating cavity 11 from the water inlet 12 is gradually atomized. At this time, the atomized liquid can be fully mixed with carbon dioxide, so that the carbon dioxide gas can be better dissolved in the atomized liquid. In this way, the bubble concentration of the soda water produced by the soda water can 1 is higher, and the atomization effect of the liquid in the soda water can 1 is improved.

[0050] It should be noted that the atomization process in the embodiment of the present application refers to the process in which the liquid is converted into fine particles or mist through reciprocating collision with the atomization structure 20 and the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11.

[0051] The embodiment of the present application sets an atomizing structure 20 in the accommodating cavity 11, and the atomizing structure 20 is connected to the tank body assembly 10. When the liquid is injected into the accommodating cavity 11 from the water inlet 12, the water flow of the liquid will violently collide with the atomizing structure 20, so that the water flow will be reflected and hit the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11. The water droplets hitting the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11 continue to be reflected to the atomizing structure 20. That is, the liquid flow is subjected to multiple reciprocating cycles of collision, so that the liquid flow becomes fine particles or mist, thereby improving the atomization effect of the liquid in the soda water can 1.

[0052] At this time, the fine particles or mist can be fully mixed with the carbon dioxide gas in the soda water can 1 to increase the concentration of soda water bubbles in the soda water can 1, thereby improving the taste of the soda water.

[0053] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the positions of the water inlet 12, the air inlet 13, and the water outlet 14 on the tank assembly 10, and designers can design them according to their needs. Furthermore, the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the shape of the atomization structure 20.

[0054] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the water inlet 12 is located above the atomizing structure 20, and the water inlet 12 and the atomizing structure 20 are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction. It can be understood that when the atomizing structure 20 is a regular shape, the central axis of the atomizing structure 20 can be arranged in alignment with the central axis of the water inlet 12. At this time, since the water inlet 12 is located above the atomizing structure 20, when the water inlet 12 injects liquid into the accommodating cavity 11, under the action of gravitational potential energy, the liquid will flow directly to the atomizing structure 20 and collide violently with the atomizing structure 20, so that the liquid is dispersed into water droplets with a moving speed, and the diameter of the water droplets is distributed from small to large. At this time, part of the water The water droplets will be reflected by the atomizing structure 20 onto the wall of the accommodating chamber 11 connected to the water inlet hole 12, so that some of the water droplets will continue to be dispersed into smaller water droplets. The wall of the accommodating chamber 11 will also reflect some of the water droplets to the atomizing structure 20, so that the atomizing structure 20 will disperse them again. In this process, the water flow will gradually become fine particles or mist after reciprocating collisions, and at this time the water inlet hole 12 and the atomizing structure 20 are arranged opposite each other, so the atomization effect is better, thereby improving the atomization effect of the liquid in the soda water can 1.

[0055] When the atomization structure 20 is an irregular shape, the center position of the atomization structure 20 is set opposite to the central axis position of the water inlet hole 12. At this time, the liquid injected from the water inlet hole 12 will be gradually turned into fine particles or mist after multiple collisions by the atomization structure 20, so as to increase the effect of the atomization structure 20 on atomizing the liquid injected into the accommodating cavity 11.

[0056] See also Figure 3-Figure 4 In some embodiments, the tank assembly 10 may include a tank body 15 and a water inlet pipe 16, wherein the tank body 15 has a first through-hole 15a, the water inlet pipe 16 is connected to the tank body 15, and a portion of the water inlet pipe 16 extends into the accommodating chamber 11 through the first through-hole 15a. It is understood that one end of the water inlet pipe 16 is outside the accommodating chamber 11, so that the cold water pipe communicates with one end of the water inlet pipe 16, thereby facilitating the flow of liquid in the cold water pipe into the accommodating chamber 11 through the water inlet pipe 16. The other end of the water inlet pipe 16 passes through the first through-hole 15a, so that the water inlet pipe 16 is partially located within the accommodating chamber 11. Furthermore, the portion of the water inlet pipe 16 located within the accommodating chamber 11 is provided with a water inlet hole 12; that is, the water inlet hole 12 is provided at the other end of the water inlet pipe 16, and the water inlet pipe 16 is connected to the water inlet hole 12, so that the liquid flows through the water inlet pipe 16 and is sprayed out from the water inlet hole 12 into the accommodating chamber 11.

[0057] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit the hole shape of the water inlet hole 12. For example, the hole shape of the water inlet hole 12 can be a straight hole, a stepped hole, or a tapered hole, etc.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 5 Further, in some embodiments, the inner diameter of the water inlet pipe 16 is greater than the hole diameter of the water inlet hole 12; that is, the hole diameter of the water inlet hole 12 is smaller. When the cold water pipe injects liquid into the water inlet pipe 16, because the hole diameter of the water inlet hole 12 is smaller than the inner diameter of the water inlet pipe 16, the pressure of the liquid can be increased, so that the liquid can be quickly sprayed out of the water inlet hole 12, which facilitates the liquid to collide with the atomizing structure 20. In addition, the inner diameter of the water inlet pipe 16 is greater than the hole diameter of the water inlet hole 12, so that the liquid of the cold water pipe can flow smoothly from the water inlet pipe 16.

[0059] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit the number of the water inlet pipe 16 and the atomizing structure 20, but the number of the water inlet pipe 16 and the atomizing structure 20 needs to be one-to-one correspondence. For example, the number of the water inlet pipe 16 can be one, and the number of the atomizing structure 20 can be one; another example, the number of the water inlet pipe 16 can be two, and the number of the atomizing structure 20 can be two (see Figure 5 ).

[0060] Please refer to Figure 5-Figure 6 In some embodiments, the water inlet hole 12 includes a first hole section 121, and the hole diameter of the first hole section 121 is arranged to be smaller in the flow direction of the liquid. It can be understood that the first hole section 121 is connected and communicated with the other end of the water inlet pipe 16, and the hole diameter of the first hole section 121 is arranged to be smaller, so that the pressure of the liquid flowing from the water inlet pipe 16 into the first hole section 121 will be increased, so as to increase the pressure of the liquid.

[0061] It should be noted that the first hole section 121 can be arranged to be smaller in a stepped manner, or arranged to be smaller in a gradual manner, and the embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit this.

[0062] Please continue to refer to Figure 5-Figure 6Furthermore, in some embodiments, the water inlet 12 further includes a second hole segment 122, which is connected to the end of the first hole segment 121 in the flow direction of the liquid, and the aperture of the second hole segment 122 is increased in the flow direction of the liquid. It can be understood that in the flow direction of the liquid, the aperture of the water inlet 12 is first decreased and then increased. In this way, on the one hand, it is ensured that the liquid flowing from the water inlet pipe 16 into the water inlet 12 has pressure, so that the liquid and the atomization structure 20 collide violently. On the other hand, the enlarged setting of the second hole segment 122 can prevent the liquid pressure from being too high while ensuring the liquid pressure, thereby preventing the soda water can 1 from having safety problems.

[0063] Please continue reading Figure 5-Figure 6 Furthermore, in some embodiments, in the flow direction of the liquid, the aperture of the initial end of the first hole segment 121 is larger than the aperture of the end of the second hole segment 122; that is, the initial end of the first hole segment 121 is connected to and communicated with the other end of the water inlet pipe 16, and the end of the second hole segment 122 is the water outlet end of the water inlet hole 12. At this time, the aperture of the initial end of the first hole segment 121 is set to be larger than the aperture of the end of the second hole segment 122, so that the liquid in the water inlet pipe 16 can flow smoothly into the first hole segment 121.

[0064] In addition, a plurality of small holes may be provided at the end of the first hole segment 121 so that the water flow out of the first hole segment 121 can be divided into a plurality of small water flows, so as to facilitate collision with the atomization structure 20 .

[0065] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, the can body 15 includes a top shell 151 and a bottom shell 152, which are disposed opposite to each other. That is, the can body 15 includes a can body 153, a top shell 151, and a bottom shell 152, and the can body 153, the top shell 151, and the bottom shell 152 enclose a receiving cavity 11. The top shell 151 has a first through hole 15a, a second through hole 15b, a third through hole 15c, and a fourth through hole 15d.

[0066] See also Figure 1 as well as Figure 4 Furthermore, the tank assembly 10 also includes an air inlet pipe 17, a water outlet pipe 18, and a probe assembly 19. Specifically, the air inlet pipe 17 is connected to the top shell 151, and a portion of the air inlet pipe 17 extends into the accommodating chamber 11 through the second through hole 15b. That is, one end of the air inlet pipe 17 is located outside the accommodating chamber 11, so that it can be connected to the gas tank. The other end of the air inlet pipe 17 is located inside the accommodating chamber 11. At this time, the carbon dioxide gas in the gas tank can flow into the accommodating chamber 11 through the air inlet pipe 17.

[0067] The water outlet pipe 18 is connected to the top shell 151, and part of the water outlet pipe 18 extends into the accommodating cavity 11 through the third through hole 15c, that is, one end of the water outlet pipe 18 is located outside the accommodating cavity 11, and one end of the water outlet pipe 18 is connected to the water outlet solenoid valve, and the other end of the water outlet pipe 18 is located inside the accommodating cavity 11, and the end of the other end of the water outlet pipe 18 is close to the bottom shell 152. At this time, when the user needs to use soda water, the water outlet solenoid valve is operated to open so that the soda water produced in the soda water can 1 can flow out through the water outlet pipe 18 for user use.

[0068] The probe assembly 19 is connected to the top shell 151 , and a portion of the probe assembly 19 extends into the accommodating cavity 11 through the fourth through hole 15 d . That is, a portion of the probe assembly 19 extends into the accommodating cavity 11 to facilitate detection of the water level in the soda water can 1 .

[0069] See also Figure 7 Furthermore, in some embodiments, the end opening 181 of the water outlet pipe 18 is beveled. It is understandable that the end of the other end of the water outlet pipe 18 extending into the accommodating chamber 11 is beveled. At this time, compared with the prior art in which the end of the water outlet pipe 18 is rounded or flat-angled, the embodiment of the present application designs the end opening 181 of the water outlet pipe 18 to be beveled. On the one hand, it can reduce water flow resistance and prevent the liquid from forming vortexes or turbulence at the end of the water outlet pipe 18; on the other hand, it improves water outlet efficiency. That is, the end opening 181 of the water outlet pipe 18 is beveled to increase the flow area of ​​the water outlet pipe 18. Even if the liquid storage volume in the soda water can 1 is small, the water outlet pipe 18 can also flow the liquid out of the water outlet pipe 18 according to the principle of the wall effect, so that the liquid flows more smoothly in the water outlet pipe 18.

[0070] See also Figure 1 as well as Figure 7Further, in some embodiments, the probe assembly 19 can include a locking member 191 and a water level probe 192. The locking member 191 is connected with the top shell 151, i.e. one part of the locking member 191 is located outside the accommodating cavity 11 and the other part of the locking member 191 extends into the accommodating cavity 11 through the fourth through hole 15d, the locking member 191 is provided with a mounting hole 1911 which is in communication with the accommodating cavity 11, and the water level probe 192 is mounted in the mounting hole 1911. It can be understood that the water level probe 192 extends into the accommodating cavity 11 from the mounting hole 1911, and when the water level probe 192 is mounted in the mounting hole 1911, the locking member 191 is provided with a locking needle 1912 to lock the water level probe 192; when it is needed to take out the water level probe 192, the water level probe 192 can be loosened by pulling out the locking needle 1912. The water level probe 192 is used to detect the high water level of the soda water tank 1, and when the water level in the soda water tank 1 rises to the high water level, the controller of the soda water machine controls the water inlet pipe 16 to stop injecting liquid into the soda water tank 1.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 7-Figure 8 In some embodiments, the atomization structure 20 has a groove 21 with a notch facing the water inlet hole 12, and the groove 21 is used to receive part of the liquid coming from the water inlet hole 12. It can be understood that the groove 21 is provided on the atomization structure 20, and the notch of the groove 21 faces the water outlet end of the water inlet hole 12, i.e. the notch of the groove 21 is arranged opposite to the water outlet end of the water inlet hole 12. When the water outlet end of the water inlet hole 12 sprays liquid, the groove 21 can be used to receive part of the liquid and collide with the groove 21, so that the water flow liquid becomes water droplets. Due to the existence of the groove 21, at least part of the liquid in the groove 21 is reflected towards the water inlet hole 12, so that part of the liquid continues to collide with the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11 provided with the water inlet hole 12 to become fine water droplets. The cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11 also reflects part of the water droplets to the groove 21, so that the groove 21 disperses the fine water droplets again. In this process, the water flow is gradually changed into fine particles or mist after repeated collision, thereby improving the atomization effect of the liquid in the soda water tank 1.

[0072] It should be noted that the groove bottom wall of the groove 21 has an arc surface part, a flat surface part or both an arc surface part and a flat surface part, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, the groove bottom wall of the groove 21 can be a spherical arc surface; or the groove bottom wall of the groove 21 can be a flat cylindrical surface.

[0073] Please continue to refer to Figure 7-Figure 8 In some embodiments, the atomization structure 20 includes a mounting member 22 and an atomization member 23.

[0074] Specifically, the mounting member 22 is connected with the tank assembly 10, and the atomizing member 23 is mounted on the mounting member 22 and has the recess 21. It can be understood that the atomizing member 23 is connected with the mounting member 22, and the recess 21 is arranged on the atomizing member 23, and the slot of the recess 21 is arranged towards the water inlet hole 12, so as to facilitate the atomization of the liquid. Furthermore, the mounting member 22 is connected with the tank assembly 10, and the atomizing member 23 is mounted on the mounting member 22, so that the stability of the connection of the atomizing structure 20 can be improved.

[0075] Referring to Figure 8-Figure 9 Furthermore, in some embodiments, the atomizing member 23 comprises a seat body 231 and a cylinder body 232, wherein the seat body 231 is connected with the mounting member 22, and the cylinder body 232 is connected with the seat body 231 and has the recess 21 formed inside. It can be understood that, since the slot of the recess 21 is arranged towards the water inlet hole 12, when the atomizing structure 20 is arranged below the water inlet hole 12, the slot of the recess 21 is arranged vertically opposite to the water inlet hole 12, at this time, the atomizing member 23 can be arranged on one side of the mounting member 22 close to the water inlet hole 12, or the atomizing member 23 can be arranged on one side of the mounting member 22 away from the water inlet hole 12, and the present application does not make specific limitation on this.

[0076] Exemplarily, when the atomizing member 23 is arranged on one side of the mounting member 22 close to the water inlet hole 12, the seat body 231 is connected with one side of the mounting member 22 close to the water inlet hole 12, and the seat body 231 and the mounting member 22 can be connected by means of bonding, welding, screwing or the like; one end of the cylinder body 232 is connected with the seat body 231, the recess 21 is formed inside the cylinder body 232, and the other end of the cylinder body 232 has the slot communicating with the recess 21.

[0077] Exemplarily, when the atomizing member 23 is arranged on one side of the mounting member 22 away from the water inlet hole 12, at this time, the mounting member 22 is provided with a first through hole, the seat body 231 is also provided with a second through hole communicating with the first through hole, and the cylinder body 232 is arranged away from the water inlet hole 12, but at this time, the slot of the recess 21 formed inside the cylinder body 232 communicates with the second through hole, and the direction of the cylinder body 232 away from the second through hole is closed.

[0078] Referring to Figure 7 In other embodiments, the atomizing structure 20 comprises the mounting member 22 and the atomizing member 23.

[0079] Referring to Figure 10-11Specifically, the mounting member 22 is connected to the tank assembly 10; the atomizer 23 is connected to the mounting member 22, and the atomizer 23 has a rod portion 233 extending toward the water inlet 12. The rod portion 233 and the water inlet 12 at least partially overlap in the axial direction of the water inlet 12. It is understood that the atomizer 23 is provided with the rod portion 233, and the rod portion 233 is disposed toward the water inlet 12, and the rod portion 233 is at least partially disposed directly opposite the water inlet 12. In this way, the liquid injected from the water inlet 12 can collide with the rod portion 233, thereby improving the atomization effect of the liquid.

[0080] It should be noted that the end of the rod body 233 away from the mounting member 22 is formed in a hemispherical shape, a cylindrical shape, or a wedge shape, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0081] See also Figure 10 For example, the end of the rod body 233 away from the mounting member 22 is formed into a cylindrical shape, so that the liquid injected from the water inlet 12 can collide with the cylindrical end of the rod body 233 away from the mounting member 22, thereby improving the atomization effect of the liquid.

[0082] See also Figure 11 For example, the end of the rod body 233 away from the mounting member 22 is formed into a wedge shape, so that the liquid injected from the water inlet 12 can collide with the wedge-shaped end of the rod body 233 away from the mounting member 22, thereby improving the atomization effect of the liquid.

[0083] The atomizing structure 20 includes a mounting member 22 and an atomizing member 23. In some embodiments, the mounting member 22 is connected to the tank assembly 10 and has a mounting surface facing the water inlet 12. The atomizing member 23 is mounted on the mounting surface. It is understood that the mounting member 22 can be connected to the wall of the accommodating chamber 11 or to the portion of the water inlet pipe 16 that extends into the accommodating chamber 11. However, the mounting surface must be located below the water inlet 12 so that the atomizing member 23 can be positioned directly opposite the water inlet 12.

[0084] See also Figure 12-13Furthermore, in some embodiments, the mounting member 22 may include a connecting plate 221 and a mounting plate 222. The connecting plate 221 is connected to the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11, the mounting plate 222 has a mounting surface, and the mounting plate 222 is connected to the connecting plate 221. At this time, the atomizing element 23 will be installed on the side of the mounting plate 222 having the mounting surface. In addition, a convex portion 2221 is formed on the periphery of the mounting plate 222, and the convex portion 2221 abuts against the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11, so that there is a gap between the mounting plate 222 and the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11. In this way, the carbon dioxide gas in the soda water can 1 can enter the space enclosed by the connecting plate 221 and the mounting plate 222 through the gap, thereby facilitating the mixing of the carbon dioxide gas with the liquid in fine granular or mist form, thereby increasing the bubble concentration of the soda water.

[0085] See also Figure 7 Furthermore, since there is a gap between the mounting plate 222 and the wall of the accommodating cavity 11, the protrusion 2221 of the mounting plate 222 abuts against the wall of the accommodating cavity 11, and the stability of the mounting plate 222 can be ensured by setting the connecting plate 221 to ensure that the mounting surface is parallel to the water outlet end of the water inlet hole 12, so as to improve the atomization effect of the liquid.

[0086] See also Figure 12 Furthermore, in some embodiments, the connecting plate 221 includes a first connecting portion 2211 and a second connecting portion 2212. The first connecting portion 2211 is connected to the mounting plate 222, the second connecting portion 2212 is connected to the first connecting portion 2211, and the second connecting portion 2212 is connected to the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11. Taking the water inlet 12 provided on the top shell 151 as an example, the second connecting portion 2212 can be connected to the side of the top shell 151 located in the accommodating cavity 11 by welding, clamping, screwing, etc.; the first connecting portion 2211 and the second connecting portion 2212 can be connected by welding, clamping, screwing, etc., and the first connecting portion 2211 and the second connecting portion 2212 can also be an integral component.

[0087] See also Figure 12-13 Furthermore, the first connecting portion 2211 is provided with a notch 2213 on a side away from the mounting plate 222, wherein the air inlet 13 is close to the notch 2213; that is, when carbon dioxide gas flows into the air inlet 13, the carbon dioxide gas can flow through the notch 2213 to the top of the mounting surface or near the water inlet 12, so that the fine granular or mist-like liquid can be quickly and fully mixed with the carbon dioxide gas.

[0088] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the lowest position of the water level probe 192 inserted into the accommodating cavity 11 needs to be lower than the mounting plate 222 to prevent the water level in the soda water can 1 from rising to the mounting plate 222.
