Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a carbonized water device and a water outlet device, belonging to the technical field of bubble water carbonization devices. Background Technology

[0002] In modern food processing, the production of sparkling water is a crucial step. Currently, sparkling water production equipment primarily uses carbonation tanks for carbonation. Existing carbonation tanks are typically designed with the water inlet located at the top and a baffle plate inside. Water is accelerated and impacts the baffle plate, creating an atomization effect. However, this structure has several significant drawbacks. First, the presence of the baffle plate complicates the internal structure of the carbonation tank, increasing manufacturing and maintenance difficulties. Second, the short contact time between the water flow and the baffle plate results in insufficient atomization, leading to a less than ideal taste in the carbonized sparkling water. Therefore, there is a need to develop a simpler and more efficient carbonation device to improve both the taste and production efficiency of sparkling water. Summary of the Invention

[0021] Referring to the accompanying drawings, a carbonation device is provided, designed to reduce manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulty through optimized structural design, while extending the contact time between cold water and carbon dioxide to improve the carbonation effect and the taste of sparkling water. The carbonation device includes a carbonation tank 1, a water inlet pipe 2, a water outlet pipe 3, an air inlet pipe 4, and a liquid level sensor mounting port 5. The carbonation tank 1 is a sealed container with an internal cavity for the carbonation process. One end of the water inlet pipe 2 is located outside the carbonation tank 1, and the other end extends to the bottom of the internal cavity of the carbonation tank 1. Water flows from bottom to top, introducing cold water into the carbonation tank 1 through the water inlet pipe 2. The internal cavity of the water inlet pipe 2 is provided with at least one small hole 6. The small hole 6 is used to accelerate the water flow, enabling it to quickly disperse and form an atomization effect when it impacts the top surface of the internal cavity of the carbonation tank 1. The diameter of the small hole 6 is set to 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm to ensure that the water flow is evenly dispersed during acceleration, avoiding uneven atomization caused by excessively large or small hole diameters. The distance L between the outlet end of the water inlet pipe 2 and the top surface of the inner cavity of the carbonization tank 1 is 45 mm to 100 mm. This distance design allows the water flow to generate sufficient impact force when it hits the top surface, while preventing insufficient water flow dispersion due to excessive distance.

[0022] One end of the air inlet pipe 4 is located outside the carbonization tank 1, and the other end extends to the top of the inner cavity of the carbonization tank 1. The outlet of the air inlet pipe 4 is located at the top of the inner cavity of the carbonization tank 1, and is used to inject carbon dioxide gas into the carbonization tank 1. The design of the air inlet pipe 4 allows the carbon dioxide gas to be evenly distributed in the upper space of the carbonization tank 1, so that the gas can have more sufficient contact with the water in the atomization effect formed after the water flow hits the top surface 7, thereby improving the carbonization efficiency. One end of the water outlet pipe 3 is located outside the carbonization tank 1, and the other end extends to the bottom of the inner cavity of the carbonization tank 1, and is used to discharge the carbonized liquid. The liquid level sensor mounting port 5 is set on the carbonization tank 1 for installing a liquid level sensor to monitor the liquid level height in the carbonization tank 1, ensuring the stability and safety of the carbonization process.

[0023] In the specific implementation process, firstly, the carbonization tank 1 is placed in the predetermined position, ensuring that its bottom and top structures are intact. Then, one end of the water inlet pipe 2 is connected to an external water supply system, preferably cold water, and the other end is inserted into the inner cavity of the carbonization tank 1. The inner cavity of the water inlet pipe 2 is provided with at least one small hole 6 with a diameter of 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm. Multiple small holes 6 are evenly distributed in the bottom area of ​​the water inlet pipe 2 to ensure that the water flow can be uniformly accelerated after entering the carbonization tank 1. The distance between the outlet end of the water inlet pipe 2 and the top surface 7 of the inner cavity of the carbonization tank 1 is 45 mm to 100 mm. This distance design allows the water flow to generate sufficient impact force when hitting the top surface 7, while avoiding insufficient water flow dispersion due to excessive distance. Next, one end of the air inlet pipe 4 is connected to an external carbon dioxide gas source, and the other end is inserted into the top of the inner cavity of the carbonization tank 1. The outlet of the air inlet pipe 4 is located at the top of the inner cavity of the carbonization tank 1, so that the carbon dioxide gas can be evenly distributed in the upper space of the carbonization tank 1. One end of the outlet pipe 3 is connected to the external drainage system, and the other end is inserted into the bottom of the inner cavity of the carbonization tank 1. The design of the outlet pipe 3 ensures that the carbonized liquid can be discharged smoothly, while preventing the premature discharge of incompletely carbonized liquid, which would affect the carbonization effect. The liquid level sensor mounting port 5 is located on the side of the carbonization tank 1 and is used to install a liquid level sensor to monitor the liquid level in the carbonization tank 1, ensuring the stability and safety of the carbonization process.

[0024] In practical applications, when carbonization of sparkling water is required, the external water supply system is first activated, and cold water is introduced into the carbonization tank 1 through the inlet pipe 2. The water flow is accelerated through the small hole 6 at the bottom of the inlet pipe 2, forming a high-speed water flow. When the water flow impacts the top surface of the inner cavity of the carbonization tank 1, it quickly disperses and forms an atomization effect. Because the distance between the outlet end of the inlet pipe 2 and the top surface of the inner cavity of the carbonization tank 1 is 45 mm to 100 mm, the water flow can be fully dispersed after impacting the top surface, forming fine water droplets. These droplets come into full contact with the carbon dioxide gas during their fall, prolonging the contact time and improving the carbonization effect.

[0025] Simultaneously, an external carbon dioxide gas source is activated, injecting carbon dioxide gas into the top of the inner cavity of the carbonization tank 1 through the air inlet pipe 4. The carbon dioxide gas is evenly distributed at the top of the inner cavity of the carbonization tank 1. When the high-speed water flow impacts the top surface 7, creating an atomization effect, the carbon dioxide gas can quickly contact the fine water droplets, achieving a highly efficient carbonization process. A liquid level sensor is installed on the carbonization tank 1 through the liquid level sensor mounting port 5 to monitor the liquid level in the carbonization tank 1 in real time. When the liquid level reaches the predetermined height, the control system automatically stops the water supply to ensure the stability and safety of the carbonization process.

[0026] In the carbonation process, the contact time between water and carbon dioxide gas is a crucial factor. In traditional carbonation tank designs, water enters from the top and atomizes through a baffle plate. While this design achieves a certain degree of atomization, the short contact time between the water and carbon dioxide gas results in poor carbonation and affects the taste of the sparkling water. This invention addresses this issue by placing the water inlet pipe 2 at the bottom of the carbonation tank 1 and incorporating multiple small holes 6 within it. This allows the water to accelerate and directly impact the top surface of the inner cavity of the carbonation tank 1, creating a more uniform and sustained atomization effect. Furthermore, the water flows from bottom to top into the carbonation tank. This significantly increases the contact time between the water and carbon dioxide gas, thereby improving the carbonation effect and resulting in a finer, more flavorful sparkling water.

[0027] Furthermore, the carbonization device of this invention has a simple structure, eliminating the traditional baffle plate, reducing the number of parts, and lowering manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulty. In practical applications, this device can be widely used in the catering industry, homes, and small water treatment equipment to meet the demand for high-quality sparkling water in different scenarios. For example, in the catering industry, this carbonization device can be used to make sparkling water on-site, providing a fresher and better-tasting beverage. In homes, this device can be installed under the kitchen sink, making it easy and quick to produce high-quality sparkling water. In small water treatment equipment, this device can serve as a core component, enabling efficient and stable sparkling water production.

[0028] In summary, this invention solves the problems of poor atomization effect and high manufacturing cost caused by complex structure in existing technologies by optimizing the structural design of the carbonization device. This device is not only simple in structure and low in manufacturing cost, but also significantly extends the contact time between water flow and carbon dioxide gas, improving the carbonization effect and generating finer sparkling water, thus meeting consumers' demand for high-quality beverages.
