[0002] Sparkling water, also known as bubbly water, is an aqueous solution of carbon dioxide dissolved in water, named for the carbon dioxide bubbles it contains. A sparkling water maker is a machine used to make sparkling water. In recent years, with increasing awareness of healthy eating, sparkling water makers have become a common household appliance. The working principle of a sparkling water maker is to inject carbon dioxide into water and then pressurize it to dissolve more carbon dioxide, thus creating sparkling water.

[0003] Currently, most sparkling water machines on the market integrate a compressor-based cooling system, which includes a compressor, gas tank, filter, soda water tank, and other components. Machines capable of producing cold sparkling water are commonly referred to as sparkling ice water machines. Existing sparkling ice water machines typically use CO2 pressurization to produce sparkling ice water, which is then directly output. However, during the output process, the narrow pipes and the pressure of the sparkling ice water can cause pipe damage. Furthermore, the pressure within the pipes during transport can affect the taste of the sparkling ice water. Utility Model Content

[0027] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0028] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a bubble ice water machine, the bubble ice water machine comprising:

[0030] A sparkling water treatment system 100 includes a refrigeration unit 110 and a sparkling water making device 120, the sparkling water making device 120 being used to make sparkling water;

[0031] A water inlet system 200 is connected to the bubble water treatment system 100 via a pipe, and the water inlet system is used to provide a water source;

[0032] An air intake system 300 is connected to the sparkling water making device 120 via a pipe, and the air intake system is used to supply CO2 to the sparkling water making device 120.

[0033] The water outlet system 400 includes a water outlet pipe and a corresponding water outlet end. The water outlet pipe includes an aerated water outlet pipe 410, and the water outlet end 450 includes an aerated water outlet end. The aerated water outlet pipe is sequentially provided with a pressure reducing valve 411, a pressure switch 412, and an aerated water outlet end.

[0034] The system includes a bubble water treatment system 100 for producing bubble water, and a refrigeration unit 110 for lowering the water temperature to provide the necessary cold source for producing ice water or bubble ice water. A bubble water production device 120 generates bubble water by combining refrigerated water with CO2 gas (using a specific device such as a bubble chamber). A water inlet system 200 provides water to the bubble water treatment system 100. An air inlet system 300 supplies gas to the bubble water production device 120, which mixes with the refrigerated water to form bubble water. An outlet pipe, including a bubble water outlet pipe 410, is used to output bubble ice water, and an outlet end 450 includes a bubble water outlet terminal 450. A pressure reducing valve 411 regulates the pressure within the bubble water outlet pipe 410 to ensure a stable output of bubble water. The pressure reducing valve 411 utilizes the local resistance of the flow channel within the valve to regulate water pressure. When bubble ice water passes through the pressure reducing valve 411, the valve core automatically adjusts its opening according to the water pressure, thereby changing the flow rate and kinetic energy of the water to achieve the purpose of regulating water pressure.

[0035] The working process of the bubble water chiller is as follows: First, the operator presses the start button, and the bubble water chiller starts operating. At this time, the water inlet system 200 starts supplying water to the bubble water treatment system 100. Then, the air inlet system 300 starts working, delivering CO2 into the bubble chamber. The amount and speed of CO2 can be controlled by the regulating device of the air inlet system 300. Next, the refrigeration device 110 (such as a compressor and condenser) starts working, lowering the water temperature. The refrigerated water enters the bubble chamber through the pipe and mixes with the CO2 gas to form bubble water. Finally, the bubble water flows out from the bubble water outlet 450 through the bubble water outlet pipe 410.

[0036] This utility model embodiment uses a pressure reducing valve 411 and a pressure switch 412 sequentially installed in the sparkling water outlet pipe 410. The pressure reducing valve 411 reduces the pressure of the sparkling ice water as it is output through the pipe. When the sparkling ice water passes through the pressure reducing valve 411, the valve core automatically adjusts the opening according to the water pressure, thereby changing the flow rate and kinetic energy of the water flow to regulate the water pressure. By adjusting the pressure of the sparkling ice water, the taste of the sparkling ice water can be adjusted, thus outputting sparkling ice water that suits the user's taste.

[0037] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the refrigeration device 110 and the sparkling water making device 120 are connected through a refrigeration pipe 440. The refrigeration pipe 440 is sequentially provided with a first solenoid valve 413, a booster pump and a first one-way valve 600. The ice water produced by the refrigeration device 110 flows into the sparkling water making device 120 through the refrigeration pipe 440.

[0038] The refrigeration unit 110 is responsible for cooling the water source to a preset low temperature to produce ice water. The refrigeration pipe 440 serves as a bridge connecting the refrigeration unit 110 and the sparkling water making device 120, and is responsible for transporting the cooled ice water. A first solenoid valve 413 is installed in the refrigeration pipe 440 to regulate the flow of the ice water. A booster pump is installed in the refrigeration pipe 440 to increase the flow pressure of the ice water, ensuring that it flows smoothly and efficiently into the sparkling water making device 120.

[0039] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the air intake system 300 includes an air tank, a pressure switch 412, a second one-way valve, and an air inlet arranged sequentially through a pipe, and the air inlet is located inside the sparkling water making device 120.

[0040] The function of pressure switch 412 is to detect the CO2 pressure in the CO2 tank. When it reaches a certain set value, the system can dispense sparkling water; when it is below a certain set value, the system cannot dispense sparkling water, and the low-pressure indicator light illuminates, prompting that the CO2 tank needs to be replaced. The function of the second one-way valve 610 is to prevent excessive pressure in the sparkling water tank from forcing sparkling water back onto the CO2 tank outlet pipe, especially into the pressure reducing valve 411, causing the pressure reducing valve 411 to malfunction.

[0041] Specifically, in the sparkling water making device 120, gas introduced through the air inlet mixes with ice water flowing in from the refrigeration pipe 440. Because the air intake system 300 precisely controls the gas content, it ensures that the gas is evenly distributed in the water, forming fine and stable bubbles. The appropriate amount of gas gives sparkling water its unique bubbly texture and refreshing drinking experience. Too much gas will make the beverage overly bloated, while too little gas will make it bland and tasteless. Therefore, the control of the air intake system 300 is crucial for improving the taste of sparkling water.

[0042] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the water outlet pipe includes an ice water outlet pipe 420, the water outlet end 450 includes an ice water outlet end 450, the refrigeration device includes a compressor, a condenser, a filter, a capillary tube, an ice tank 111, and an evaporator coil arranged sequentially through pipes, the sparkling water making device 120 includes a sparkling tank, one end of the sparkling water outlet pipe 410 and one end of the refrigeration pipe 440 are disposed in the sparkling tank, the other end of the refrigeration pipe 440 is disposed in the ice tank 111, one end of the ice water outlet pipe 420 is connected to the refrigeration pipe 440 from the ice tank 111 to the first solenoid valve 413, and the other end of the ice water outlet pipe 420 is the ice water outlet end 450.

[0043] The compressor compresses the refrigerant, causing it to release heat in the condenser, thus lowering the water temperature in the evaporator coil. After the refrigerant liquefies in the condenser, its temperature and pressure decrease, preparing for the subsequent expansion process. The filter removes impurities and particulate matter from the water, ensuring clean water quality. The bubble chamber mixes the cooled water with gas. Ice chamber 111 is used to make ice water. In the refrigeration cycle, the evaporator coil absorbs heat from the water, lowering its temperature. All components are connected by pipes and connectors, forming the refrigeration cycle and the bubble water production process. The compressor output connects to the condenser input, the condenser output connects to the filter input, the filter output connects to the capillary tube input, and the capillary tube output connects to the evaporator coil input and the bubble chamber input (some refrigerant also enters ice chamber 111 for cooling). The outputs of the evaporator coil and the bubble chamber are connected to their respective outlet pipes.

[0044] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the bubble chamber is disposed inside the ice chamber 111.

[0045] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the water outlet pipe includes a purified water outlet pipe 430, and the water outlet end 450 includes a purified water outlet end 450. The purified water outlet pipe 430 is divided into three branch pipes. One end of the first branch pipe is located in the water inlet system 200, and the other end of the first branch pipe is the purified water outlet end 450. One end of the second branch pipe is connected to the first branch pipe in the direction close to the water inlet system 200, and the other end of the second branch pipe is located in the ice chamber 111. One end of the third branch pipe is located in the ice chamber 111, and the other end of the third branch pipe is connected to the first branch pipe in the direction away from the water inlet system 200. The third branch pipe is provided with a third one-way valve 620, which is used to vent air when water from the water inlet system 200 enters the ice chamber 111.

[0046] The first pipe has one end directly connected to the water inlet system 200, used to directly obtain water from the water inlet system 200. The other end serves as the purified water outlet 450, used to output purified water. A fourth solenoid valve 416 is installed on this pipe to control the output of purified water. The second pipe has one end connected to the first pipe in the direction closest to the water inlet system 200, meaning it diverts a portion of the water source from the first pipe. The other end is located inside the ice chamber 111, used to inject water into the ice chamber 111 to make ice water. The third pipe has one end located inside the ice chamber 111, used to allow gas inside the ice chamber 111 to be discharged through a third one-way valve 620 when water from the water inlet system 200 enters the ice chamber 111, preventing gas from being trapped.

[0047] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the bubble water outlet pipe is provided with a third solenoid valve 415. The third solenoid valve 415 includes a temperature sensing module, which is used to sense the temperature of the bubble ice water in the pipe to determine whether to open the third solenoid valve 415.

[0048] Specifically, based on the signal transmitted by the temperature sensing module, the control system of the third solenoid valve 415 makes a judgment to decide whether to open or close the solenoid valve. When the water temperature reaches the preset suitable range, the third solenoid valve 415 will automatically open, allowing the bubble-filled ice water to flow out. If the water temperature exceeds the preset range, the third solenoid valve 415 will close to prevent water at an unsuitable temperature from flowing out, thereby ensuring the quality and taste of the drinking water for the user.

[0049] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the water outlet 450 is provided with a mechanical faucet.

[0050] The mechanical faucet at the 450mm outlet allows users to turn the sparkling water output on or off as needed, and adjust the flow rate. This flow control function is crucial for meeting the diverse drinking habits and needs of different users.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
