[0026] In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical scheme of the utility model, the utility model will be further described in detail below in combination with drawings and specific embodiments.
[0027] The utility model provides a kind of gas-liquid exchange device, can effectively solve the problems of traditional gas pump device in noise, cost, size and maintenance etc..The utility model is applicable to shower gel, shampoo, kitchen detergent, hand sanitizer, toilet foam shield and other foaming devices.
[0028] As Figures 1 to 6 Indicated, the gas-liquid exchange device includes a gas-liquid exchange container 1.The container is connected with water inlet structure 2, for introducing water into container.Inlet structure 3 is arranged at the top of container, for discharging air replaced by water.Further, the gas-liquid exchange container 1 bottom is provided with drainage structure 5, for draining, i.e. emptying container to use again.
[0029] The water inlet structure 2 is connected to a water source, such as a tap water system. When water enters the gas-liquid exchange container 1, the air inside the container is compressed and discharged through the gas outlet structure 3. The discharged gas and water can mix with shower gel, etc., to produce rich foam for bathing.
[0030] Once the air in the upper part of the gas-liquid exchange container 1 is exhausted, gas-liquid exchange can no longer be carried out. It is necessary to open the drainage structure 5 to drain the water and add some air in preparation for the next gas-liquid exchange.
[0031] Water inlet structure:
[0032] The water inlet structure 2 incorporates the Venturi effect, and its core component is a Venturi tube 21. The input end of the Venturi tube 21 is connected to the tap water system and is equipped with an inlet valve to control the water flow. The output end 211 of the Venturi tube 21 is connected to the inner cavity of the gas-liquid exchange container 1.
[0033] Typically, a Venturi tube consists of the following parts: an inlet section, a constriction section, a throat, and a diffuser section. The inlet section is a short, round tube with a diameter of D; the constriction section is a tapered tube with a cone angle of approximately 21° ± 2°; the throat is a short, straight tube with a diameter of approximately 1 / 3 to 1 / 4 of D; and the diffuser section is a tapered tube with a cone angle of 8° to 15°.
[0034] To replenish the air in the gas-liquid exchange container 1 and prolong the gas output time, an air supply pipe 22 is provided on the throat side wall of the Venturi tube 21. The air supply pipe 22 is connected to a one-way inward air supply check valve 221 to ensure that air can only enter the Venturi tube 21 and will not flow back. When water flows through the Venturi tube 21, a negative pressure is generated at the throat, thereby drawing in outside air through the air supply pipe 22 and the check valve 221 into the gas-liquid exchange container 1.
[0035] Exhaust structure:
[0036] The gas outlet structure 3 includes a gas outlet pipe 31 and a gas constant flow valve 32. One end of the gas outlet pipe 31 is located at the top of the inner cavity of the gas-liquid exchange container 1, and the other end is connected to the gas constant flow valve 32.
[0037] The constant flow valve 32 is used to maintain a substantially constant output gas flow rate. It includes a valve seat 321, an inlet 322, an outlet 323, and a valve chamber 324. The inner diameter of the valve chamber 324 gradually decreases from the inlet 322 to the outlet 323, and a valve core 325 that can move within it is placed therein. The position of the valve core 325 is affected by the airflow magnitude, the elastic reset element 326 (e.g., a spring), and / or its own weight, thereby dynamically adjusting the gas clearance to achieve constant flow output.
[0038] When the airflow increases, the valve core 325 is pushed towards the outlet 323, reducing the air gap and thus limiting the airflow velocity. When the airflow decreases, the valve core 325 falls back to the inlet 322 under the action of the elastic reset element 326 (such as a spring) and / or its own gravity, increasing the air gap and thus increasing the airflow velocity. This design can effectively stabilize the output airflow.
[0039] Preferably, the valve chamber 324 is arranged vertically, with the inlet 322 at the bottom and the outlet 323 at the top. In this way, when the airflow decreases, the valve core 325 can automatically fall back under its own gravity, that is, the valve core 325 is directly reset by gravity without the need for an elastic reset element 326.
[0040] Among them, the valve core 325 is preferably in the shape of a ball, an R-shaped part, or a cylindrical part.
[0041] Preferably, the valve seat 321 is further provided with a drain outlet 328 located below the inlet 322, and a drain check valve 327 is provided at the drain outlet 328. The gas entering the constant flow valve 32 may carry some moisture, which can be discharged through the drain outlet 328 to prevent moisture accumulation. The drain check valve 327 ensures one-way drainage. Of course, it should be noted that the other end of the drain outlet 328 is connected to the drain valve 53. When the drain valve 53 is closed, the drain check valve 327 will not leak gas.
[0042] Furthermore, the valve seat 321 is composed of a lower valve seat 3211 and an upper valve seat 3212. The upper end of the lower valve seat 3211 is inserted into the inner cavity of the upper valve seat 3212 and is provided with an annular support platform 3213 to support the valve core 325. The support platform is provided with a vent hole or vent gap 3214 so that it will not be completely blocked, so as to ensure the smooth flow of small airflow.
[0043] Drainage structure:
[0044] To facilitate the cleaning of the air-liquid exchange container 1 and the replenishment of air, the device is equipped with a drainage structure 5. The drainage structure 5 includes a drain pipe 51, which is located at the bottom of the air-liquid exchange container 1 and is equipped with a drain valve 53. Furthermore, a second air replenishment check valve 52 is provided at the top of the container for replenishing air during the drainage process.
[0045] Among them, the drain valve 5 is preferably a solenoid valve, a manual valve, or the like.
[0046] To facilitate more efficient drainage, a sinkhole 11 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the gas-liquid exchange container 1, and the drain pipe 51 is located at the bottom of the sinkhole 11.
[0047] Water outlet structure:
[0048] The water outlet structure 4 includes a water outlet pipe 41 and a water constant flow valve 42 (similar in structure to a gas constant flow valve, or a commercially available constant flow valve can be used, which will not be described in detail here). One end of the water outlet pipe 41 extends into the bottom of the inner cavity of the gas-liquid exchange container 1, and the other end is connected to the water constant flow valve 42 to control the water outlet speed.
[0049] The water outlet structure 4 is mainly used to output a small amount of liquid for other functions, such as participating in foaming. However, the speed of the water flow output by the water outlet structure 4 must be slower than the speed of the water flow input by the water inlet structure 2.
[0050] Through the above structural design, the gas-liquid exchange device of this utility model can effectively replace the traditional air pump, and realize a quiet, low-cost, small-volume and easy-to-maintain bath foaming function.
