Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fluid mixing device technology, and in particular to a fluid mixing structure and a foaming device using the same. Background Technology

[0002] Foaming devices in bathroom products often require mixing water flow with foaming ingredients (such as shampoo, shower gel, or hand soap) before using a foaming structure to generate foam. If the water flow and foaming ingredients are not mixed evenly, the foaming effect will be poor. Therefore, there is a need for a fluid mixing structure that can be applied to such foaming devices to accelerate the mixing of water flow and foaming ingredients.

[0003] Currently, in order to mix fluids composed of different components, a rotary stirring device inserted into the fluid is usually used to stir and mix the different components in the fluid evenly. This type of structure is relatively large and expensive, making it difficult to apply to bathroom foaming devices.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a simple fluid mixing structure to accelerate the mixing of different components within a fluid mixture. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fluid mixing structure and a foaming device using the same, and to solve the technical problem of accelerating the mixing of different components in a fluid through a simple structure.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is as follows: A fluid mixing structure includes a main body with a flow path formed on the main body for the flow of a mixed fluid. The flow path has multiple turning points, and / or branching points and branch-merging points, so that the mixed fluid can turn, and / or split and merge along the flow path as it flows through.

[0007] Furthermore, the main body is disposed within a flow channel, and the mixed fluid flows along the flow channel, passing through the main body. The space within the flow channel of the main body separates the flow path.

[0008] Furthermore, the main body can be detachably inserted into the flow channel.

[0009] Furthermore, the main body is provided with a plurality of first baffles at intervals along the flow channel extension direction, so that the mixed fluid can only branch to both sides of each first baffle and flow around the location of each first baffle. A connecting opening is formed between adjacent first baffles, and the connecting opening connects the two sides of the first baffle, so that the mixed fluid on both sides of each first baffle can merge with each other when flowing to the downstream connecting opening.

[0010] Furthermore, the main body has a second baffle formed at the connecting opening, so that the mixed fluid can only branch to both sides of each second baffle and flow around the location of each second baffle. The second baffle is perpendicular to the first baffle and is connected between two adjacent first baffles. The adjacent second baffles form a gap at the first baffle between them.

[0011] Furthermore, the main body has baffles formed at the angle between the adjacent first and second partitions, and the baffles are arranged in an alternating manner, so that the mixed fluid on both sides of the corresponding first partition can only continue to flow to the downstream connecting opening after flowing along the first partition from one side of the second partition to the other side.

[0012] Furthermore, a baffle is formed on each side of each first partition, and the two baffles are located diagonally between adjacent first and second partitions.

[0013] Furthermore, the baffle is connected to the upstream end of the corresponding second partition.

[0014] Furthermore, in flow paths with turning points, the turning points include right-angle bends or acute-angle bends.

[0015] A foaming device, employing the aforementioned fluid mixing structure, includes a foaming chamber, a water supply device, and a foaming component supply device. The foaming chamber is connected to the downstream of a flow path. The water supply device supplies water to the upstream of the flow path, and the foaming component supply device supplies foaming components to the upstream of the flow path. The mixed fluid includes at least water and foaming components.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a gas supply device that supplies gas to the downstream of the flow path so that water, foaming components and gas all enter the foaming chamber to foam.

[0017] After adopting the above solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: (1) A flow path for the mixed fluid to flow through is formed on the main body. The flow path has multiple turning points, and / or branching points and branch confluence points. By causing the mixed fluid to turn, branch and converge after branching through the flow path of the main body, turbulence is generated in the mixed fluid. The turbulence is generated to accelerate the mixing of different components in the mixed fluid. The structure is very simple. (2) A foaming device, wherein the fluid mixing structure includes a foaming chamber, a water supply device and a foaming component supply device. The foaming chamber is connected to the downstream of the flow path. The water supply device is used to supply water to the upstream of the flow path. The foaming component supply device is used to supply foaming components to the upstream of the flow path, thereby making the foaming components and water flow uniformly mixed through the flow path of the fluid mixing structure, and then supplied to the foaming chamber for foaming, thus achieving a better foaming effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] Unless otherwise expressly defined, the use of directional terms such as "center," "lateral," "longitudinal," "horizontal," "vertical," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "clockwise," and "counterclockwise" in the claims, description, and accompanying drawings of this invention is merely for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the specific scope of protection of this invention.

[0022] A fluid mixing structure, such as Figure 1-5As shown, the system includes a main body 1, on which a flow path 2 for the mixed fluid to flow is formed. The flow path 2 has multiple turning points 3, and / or branching points 4 and branch-merging points 5. The range includes three scenarios: having only turning points 3, having only branching points 4 and branch-merging points 5, and having both turning points 3, branching points 4, and branch-merging points 5. This allows the mixed fluid to turn and / or branch and merge along the flow path 2 as it flows through. Specifically, the mixed fluid changes direction when it reaches turning point 3, and further branches into multiple branches when it reaches branching point 4. The mixed fluids of the branch converge at the branch confluence point 5, thereby causing turbulence in the mixed fluid and accelerating the mixing of different components in the mixed fluid. The mixed fluid described herein includes at least one of gas-liquid mixture, liquid-liquid mixture, and solid-liquid mixture. However, when specifically applied to a foaming device, it refers to a mixture of water flow and foaming components. Of course, turning point 3, branch point 4, and branch confluence point 5 may overlap in some embodiments. For example, a single location can both cause the mixed fluid to branch and cause the mixed fluid to turn and converge.

[0023] In the scheme of setting turning point 3 to accelerate the mixing of the mixed fluid, in order to effectively create turbulence, the preferred turning point 3 includes a right-angle bend or an acute-angle bend, so that the fluid will change direction at a large angle when passing through it.

[0024] To make the structure more space-saving and more versatile, in a preferred embodiment, the main body 1 is detachably inserted into the flow channel 6. The mixed fluid flows along the flow channel 6 and passes through the main body 1. The main body 1 separates the flow path 2 in the space of the flow channel 6. Thus, the main body 1 can be installed in any existing pipe or other flow channel 6, and the main body 1 can be removed for cleaning at any time to prevent blockage caused by long-term use.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the mixed fluid is made to turn, split, and merge through the following structure: the main body 1 is provided with a plurality of first baffles 7 at intervals along the extension direction of the flow channel 6, so that the mixed fluid can only branch to both sides of each first baffle 7 and flow around the location of each first baffle 7 (the splitting occurs, but not only at this location). A connecting opening 8 is formed between adjacent first baffles 7, and the connecting opening 8 connects the two sides of the first baffle 7 so that the mixed fluid on both sides of each first baffle 7 can merge with each other when flowing to the downstream connecting opening 8 (the merging occurs, but not only at this location). More preferably, the main body 1 has a second baffle 9 formed at the connecting opening 8, so that the mixed fluid can only branch to both sides of each second baffle 9 and flow around the location of each second baffle 9. The second baffle 9 is perpendicular to the first baffle 7 and is connected between two adjacent first baffles 7. The adjacent second baffles 9 form a gap 10 at the first baffle 7 between them. The main body 1 has a baffle 11 formed at the angle between the adjacent first baffles 7 and the second baffle 9. The baffles 11 are staggered, so that the mixed fluid on both sides of the corresponding first baffle 7 can only continue to flow to the downstream connecting opening 8 after flowing from one side of the second baffle 9 to the other side along the first baffle 7 (the turning occurs, but not only at this position), thereby causing the mixed fluid to continuously turn.

[0026] Each first partition 7 has a baffle 11 formed on both sides, and the two baffles 11 are located diagonally between the adjacent first partition 7 and second partition 9. The baffle 11 is connected to the upstream end of the corresponding second partition 9, thereby accelerating the water flow through the connecting opening 8 and drawing water from both sides of the first partition 7.

[0027] A foaming device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the application of the fluid mixing structure described above, the foaming device includes a foaming chamber 12, a water supply device 13, and a foaming component supply device 14. The foaming chamber 12 is connected downstream of the flow path 2. The water supply device 13 is used to supply water to the upstream of the flow path 2, and the foaming component supply device 14 is used to supply foaming components to the upstream of the flow path 2. The mixed fluid includes at least water and foaming components. The foaming components can be any existing bathroom cleaning agent such as shampoo, shower gel, or facial cleanser. This allows the water and foaming components to be fully mixed through the flow path 2 of the main body 1, which is more conducive to the subsequent foaming in the foaming chamber 12. The foaming chamber 12 is provided with a foaming structure such as a foaming net (which is a commonly used technical means in the art, so it will not be described in detail).

[0028] More specifically, it also includes a gas supply device 15, which supplies gas to the downstream of the flow path 2. The gas can be supplied directly into the foaming chamber 12 or between the main body 1 and the foaming chamber 12, so that water, foaming components and gas can all enter the foaming chamber 12 to foam, and then the foam flows out from the foaming device for human use.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the design of this case. All equivalent changes made based on the key design of this case shall fall within the protection scope of this case.
