Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soft drink can technology, and in particular to a soft drink can that can improve the mixing efficiency of soft drink. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese Patent No. CN202421327162.1, published on May 23, 2025, discloses a soft drink container, which includes a pressure tank with an inner cavity. The upper part of the pressure tank is equipped with an air inlet, a water inlet, and a water outlet pipe. The air inlet and water inlet are connected to the upper part of the inner cavity of the pressure tank, and the lower end of the water outlet pipe extends to the lower part of the inner cavity. This soft drink container uses a pressure tank, which has good sealing properties. It employs an upper air and water inlet, so carbon dioxide and water begin to mix in the upper part of the inner cavity when they enter the tank. However, due to the large internal space after the air and water sources enter the inner cavity of the pressure tank through the air and water inlets, the air and water sources are sprayed to a distant point, which is not conducive to mixing. Therefore, an atomizing nozzle is added to the inner end of the water inlet to facilitate the mixing of carbon dioxide and water, but this still does not achieve a better effect and needs further improvement. Utility Model Content
