A dispenser, mixing mechanism and direct drinking machine

Abstract

This utility model discloses a disperser, a mixing mechanism, and a direct drinking water machine. The disperser, by setting a narrow orifice within the tube, utilizes the Venturi effect to drastically increase the flow velocity of the liquid as it passes through, forming a high-speed jet and increasing the impact force of the jet on the baffle. When the jet impacts the baffle, it scatters and splashes, forming numerous tiny droplets, increasing the contact area between the liquid and carbon dioxide, thereby improving the dissolution efficiency and saturation of carbon dioxide. The mixing mechanism utilizes the disperser to first disperse the liquid into numerous tiny droplets, which increases the contact area between the liquid and carbon dioxide, further improving the dissolution efficiency and saturation of carbon dioxide. This direct drinking water machine can accelerate the production speed of sparkling products and enhance their flavor.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage device technology, and in particular to a disperser, a mixing mechanism, and a direct drinking machine. Background Technology

[0002] Some existing direct drinking water machines are equipped with sparkling water modules that can produce sparkling water for drinking, such as the existing technology CN218978612U. The principle of sparkling water production is to inject carbon dioxide into the liquid so that the carbon dioxide dissolves into the liquid. However, when the existing sparkling water modules produce sparkling water, the carbon dioxide dissolution efficiency is not high enough and the dissolution saturation is also insufficient, so the quality of the sparkling water produced needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention proposes a disperser, a mixing mechanism, and a direct drinking water machine, with the aim of improving the dissolution efficiency and solubility saturation when carbon dioxide is mixed with liquid.

[0031] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0033] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0034] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0035] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the present invention shows a disperser 100, including a tube 110 and a baffle 120. The tube 110 is provided with a channel 111 for liquid flow. The tube 110 includes an input end 112 and an output end 113. A narrow hole 114 is provided in the channel 111. The baffle 120 is disposed outside the output end 113 and located in the direction of liquid ejection.

[0036] Specifically, the liquid enters the channel 111 from the inlet 112 of the tube 110 and exits from the outlet 113. During this process, the liquid passes through the narrow orifice 114, the diameter of which is smaller than that of the channel 111. Utilizing the Venturi effect, the liquid accelerates its flow rate after passing through the narrow orifice 114, forming a high-speed jet. After exiting from the outlet 113, the jet impacts the baffle 120, causing it to scatter and splash, forming numerous tiny droplets. This increases the contact area between the liquid and carbon dioxide, thereby improving the dissolution efficiency and solubility saturation of carbon dioxide.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The tube body 110 is provided with a radially arranged air inlet 115, which is located after the narrow hole portion 114 according to the liquid ejection direction.

[0038] In this embodiment, after the liquid increases its flow rate and forms a high-speed jet through the narrow orifice 114, the jet can generate negative pressure when it is ejected from the output end 113. Carbon dioxide from the outside can be drawn in through the air inlet 115, increasing the fusion effect of the jet with carbon dioxide during the ejection process. Then the jet impacts the baffle 120, forming numerous tiny droplets. These tiny droplets further fuse with carbon dioxide during the descent process.

[0039] Preferably, multiple air intake holes 115 are provided to increase the efficiency of carbon dioxide intake; the multiple air intake holes 115 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the tube body 110, so that the degree of carbon dioxide intake around the jet is more uniform.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the block 120 is provided with a blocking surface 121 for blocking the jet formed by the liquid. The blocking surface 121 is a circular plane, and the center of the blocking surface 121 is perpendicular to the jet formed by the liquid.

[0041] In this embodiment, the jet can impact the baffle 120 head-on, and the impact is at the center of the blocking surface 121, so that the jet can be more evenly scattered and splashed, improving the uniformity of mixing with carbon dioxide.

[0042] It should be noted that the tube body 110 and the stop block 120 can be separate or integrated.

[0043] In some embodiments, for ease of subsequent use and assembly, the tube body 110 and the stop block 120 are designed as a single unit; in this embodiment, a connecting rod 130 is also included to connect the tube body 110 and the stop block 120.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 It also includes a base plate 140, the first end of the connecting rod 130 is fixed to the output end 113 of the tube body 110, the second end is fixed to the base plate 140, and the stop block 120 is disposed on the base plate 140; the distance from the first end of the connecting rod 130 to the axis of the tube body 110 is less than the distance from the second end of the connecting rod 130 to the axis of the tube body 110.

[0045] In this embodiment, the second end of the connecting rod 130 is positioned far from the axis of the tube body 110, which can minimize the obstruction of the connecting rod 130 to the scattered droplets formed by the jet, so that the tiny droplets can be dispersed as much as possible, ensuring the mixing effect with carbon dioxide.

[0046] In some embodiments, the disperser 100 is an integral structure made of metal, which makes the disperser 100 structurally robust and able to stably withstand the impact of the jet.

[0047] refer to Figure 3 An embodiment of this utility model shows a mixing mechanism, including a tank 200, wherein the tank 200 is provided with an air inlet pipe 300, a liquid outlet pipe 400 and the aforementioned disperser 100.

[0048] The external liquid supply mechanism feeds liquid into the disperser 100, which forms numerous tiny droplets in the tank 200. Carbon dioxide is introduced through the air inlet pipe 300, and the tiny droplets mix with the carbon dioxide. The liquid outlet pipe 400 is used to draw out the liquid after mixing with carbon dioxide.

[0049] The disperser 100 is located at the top and center of the tank 200, which makes the micro-droplets more evenly dispersed and allows sufficient mixing time as they fall from top to bottom. After mixing with carbon dioxide, the micro-droplets will converge at the bottom of the tank 200. One end of the outlet pipe 400 is located inside the tank 200 near the bottom to draw out the liquid.

[0050] In some embodiments, the tank 200 is further provided with a liquid level sensing component 500, which senses the liquid level inside the tank 200.

[0051] One embodiment of this utility model is a direct drinking water machine, which includes the above-mentioned mixing mechanism.

[0052] It should be noted that if the liquid is water, then sparkling water is produced; if the liquid is fruit juice, syrup, etc., then carbonated beverage is produced; this utility model is not limited to the products produced.

[0053] In summary, this application provides a disperser 100, a mixing mechanism, and a direct drinking water machine. The disperser 100, by providing a narrow orifice 114 within the tube 110, utilizes the Venturi effect to drastically increase the flow velocity of the liquid as it passes through, forming a high-speed jet and increasing the impact force of the jet on the baffle 120. When the jet impacts the baffle 120, it scatters and splashes, forming numerous tiny droplets, increasing the contact area between the liquid and carbon dioxide, thereby improving the dissolution efficiency and saturation of carbon dioxide. The mixing mechanism utilizes the disperser 100 to first disperse the liquid into numerous tiny droplets, increasing the contact area between the liquid and carbon dioxide, thus improving the dissolution efficiency and saturation of carbon dioxide. This direct drinking water machine can accelerate the production speed of sparkling products and enhance their flavor.

[0055] 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.
