Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to water treatment field, especially an automatic bubble water machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] The bubble water machine uses the compressed carbon dioxide in the gas cylinder to press the carbon dioxide into water at high pressure, so that the carbon dioxide is saturated and carbon dioxide bubbles are generated in the water to produce bubble water.

[0003] The current mainstream bubble water treatment scheme of the bubble water machine on the market is as follows:

[0004] 1. The drinking water is filled into the water bottle, and then placed in the refrigerator for cold storage. When the bubble water is needed, the cold water is taken out and filled into the hand bubble machine, and the food-grade carbon dioxide is manually punched to produce bubble water. The amount of carbon dioxide added to the water bottle is fixed, the gas content of the bubble water cannot be adjusted according to the needs, and the taste is single. Moreover, the gas amount in the gas cylinder of the bubble machine cannot be monitored, and the taste may be reduced due to insufficient pressure, or the bubble water cannot be produced due to insufficient pressure of the gas cylinder.

[0005] 2. The automatic bubble water product has refrigeration capacity, and is provided with an ice water tank and a bubble water tank. When working, the cooled ice water in the ice water tank is punched into the bubble water tank, and then the gas-liquid mixture is produced to produce bubble water. This scheme needs to manually adjust the pressure through the pressure valve on the equipment every time the carbon dioxide is added, which is not convenient. Moreover, the gas amount in the gas cylinder cannot be monitored, and the taste may be reduced due to insufficient pressure, or the bubble water cannot be produced due to insufficient pressure of the gas cylinder. SUMMARY

[0019] safety valve 11, which is used for pressure relief of the tank 1, and can be a mechanical safety valve that is automatically opened for pressure relief when the pressure is greater than a specified pressure.

[0020] Preferably, the automatic bubble water machine is further improved, and the air inlet valve 10 is in an open state, and the first timer starts timing, and the fifth electric signal is sent to close the air inlet valve 10 when the pressure sensor 5 does not detect the third specified pressure after a first time period.

[0021] Preferably, the automatic bubble water machine is further improved, and the booster pump 4 is in an open state, and the sixth electric signal is sent to open the air inlet valve 10 when the pressure sensor 5 does not detect the fourth specified pressure, and the air inlet valve 10 is closed when the fourth specified pressure is detected.

[0022] Preferably, the automatic sparkling water machine is further improved, the outlet valve 8 is in an open state, if the pressure sensor 5 does not detect the fourth specified pressure, a sixth electric signal is sent to open the air inlet valve 10 until the fourth specified pressure is detected to close the air inlet valve 10.

[0023] Preferably, the automatic sparkling water machine is further improved, if the high liquid level sensor 3 does not detect the specified highest liquid level, the second timer starts timing, if the specified highest liquid level is not detected after the second time length, a seventh electric signal is sent to open the booster pump 4 to supplement water.

[0024] Preferably, the automatic sparkling water machine is further improved, the working states of the outlet valve 8 and the booster pump 4 form a mutual exclusion relationship.

[0025] Preferably, the automatic sparkling water machine is further improved, the third sensor is formed with a dial switch, each switch position is provided with a corresponding first specified pressure, and different first specified pressures are selected and set through the dial switch.

[0026] The gas content concentration of the sparkling water is determined by the charging pressure, and the sparkling water with different gas content concentrations can be obtained by setting the first specified pressure, and the first specified pressure can be set through the dial switch on the pressure sensor. For example, three gas content concentrations of sparkling water can be obtained by setting the first specified pressure as 87psi, 72.5psi and 58psi.

[0027] Taking 72.5psi as the first specified pressure, the use process of the utility model is as follows:

[0028] 1. After power-on, the high and low liquid level sensors and the pressure sensor start detection; there is no ice water in the tank in the initial state.

The bubble water is continuously discharged until the low water level sensor detects that the water level is lower than the low water level, and the outlet valve is closed.

[0034] Alternatively, when the high water level sensor does not detect the water level for 1 minute, the booster pump is started to supplement water. During the water supplementing process, the air inlet valve is opened to supplement air when the pressure sensor detects that the pressure is lower than the first specified air pressure (for example, 90% of the specified air pressure, which can be specified), and the air inlet valve is closed after the first specified air pressure is reached.

[0035] 5. When the low water level sensor detects that the water level is lower than the low water level (i.e., the low water level sensor does not detect the water level), the air inlet valve is opened to supplement air, and the pressure sensor detects that the air pressure reaches the first specified air pressure (72.5 psi), and the air inlet valve is closed, and the water supplementing booster pump is started to supplement water. The above process is repeated.

[0036] Alternatively, during the water supplementing process (the booster pump is working), if the outlet valve is opened, the water supplementing booster pump stops working, and the air inlet valve is opened to supplement air when the pressure sensor detects that the pressure is lower than the first specified air pressure (for example, 90% of the specified air pressure, which can be specified), and the air inlet valve is closed after the first specified air pressure is reached.
