Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage processing technology, specifically a gas jet beverage preparation device. Background Technology

[0002] With continued economic growth and prosperity, people's quality of life is gradually improving. Nitrogen-infused beverages have become a popular choice in all aspects of enjoying life. The unique feature of these drinks lies in their distinctive taste and visual appeal. By injecting nitrogen into the container, the beverage produces delicate foam and a silky texture, offering consumers a completely new drinking experience.

[0003] For example, a portable nitrogen beverage preparation device with application number CN202311174809.1 includes a mixing chamber assembly, a liquid dispensing assembly, and a power chamber assembly for placing the target beverage. This embodiment places a nitrogen gas bullet under the mixing chamber assembly, so that the nitrogen and the target beverage are fully mixed, thereby improving the fusion effect between the target beverage and the nitrogen.

[0004] In this portable nitrogen beverage preparation device, nitrogen is introduced from the bottom of the device to fully mix with the beverage inside. However, the quality of the liquid foam depends on the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the container and the solubility of nitrogen in the liquid. Since the solubility of nitrogen is very low, as time goes on, the nitrogen dissolved in the beverage will gradually precipitate out, and some of the nitrogen in the beverage will also be quickly discharged with the beverage. When there is little beverage left in the device, the effect of liquid foam will be very poor.

[0005] Meanwhile, some nitrogen beverage preparation devices on the market also install microporous flow restrictors or spray nozzles at the liquid outlet to increase the density of foam. However, with use, some foam will remain at the holes. If not cleaned in time, it will cause blockage of liquid flow, which is troublesome and laborious, and is also easy to damage. Therefore, the actual use effect is not good. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a gas jet beverage preparation device, which solves the problem that in existing technologies, when there is little beverage remaining in the device, the liquid foaming effect is very poor. With the use of the flow restrictor or spray core, some foam will remain at the orifice. If it is not cleaned in time, it will cause blockage of liquid flow, which is troublesome, laborious, and easy to damage.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a gas jet beverage preparation device, comprising a pressure-resistant and heat-insulating container and a container sealing cap threadedly connected to the outer wall of its top, wherein a five-way connector is fixedly connected in the middle of the container sealing cap, a three-way connector is connected to the bottom end of the five-way connector, and a gas delivery pipe and a liquid delivery pipe are respectively connected to the lower two ends of the three-way connector, and the gas delivery pipe extends out from the top of the five-way connector; a jetting mechanism and a liquid discharge mechanism are respectively installed on both sides of the five-way connector.

[0008] The injection mechanism includes a first air supply pipe connector and a capillary injection fine-tuning device connected to the top and outside of the five-way connector, respectively. Several injection capillary tubes are welded inside the left end of the capillary injection fine-tuning device. An air guide assembly and a fine-tuning assembly are respectively installed on the top and outside of the capillary injection fine-tuning device. An air intake assembly is installed on the front end face of the five-way connector.

[0009] Preferably, the air guiding assembly includes a second air supply pipe connector fixedly connected to the capillary jet fine-tuning tip, and the second air supply pipe connector is connected to the first air supply pipe connector through an air guiding pipe. The upper and lower outer walls of the air supply pipe are respectively fitted with a second sealing ring and a third sealing ring, and the outer walls of the second sealing ring and the third sealing ring are respectively connected to the interior of the first air supply pipe connector and the tee connector.

[0010] Preferably, the fine-tuning component includes a nut fixedly connected to the outer wall of the capillary jet fine-tuning, a fine-tuning screw connected internally by the thread of the nut, and the outer wall of the fine-tuning screw slidably connected to the inner wall of the through hole of the capillary jet fine-tuning. One end of the fine-tuning screw located inside the capillary jet fine-tuning is rotatably connected to a connector, and a rectangular piston plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connector.

[0016] Beneficial effects

[0017] This utility model provides a gas-jet beverage preparation device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] When liquid beverages flow into the five-way connector through the infusion tube and the three-way connector, gas is injected into the five-way connector from the injection capillary. Due to the small diameter of the injection capillary, the injection force of the gas is increased, which vigorously agitates the liquid beverage, creating foam. The gas injection also stimulates the release of dissolved gases in the liquid beverage. This dual effect results in richer, finer, and longer-lasting foam, making the beverage taste smoother and creamier. Foam generation is not overly dependent on the gas pressure inside the pressure-resistant insulated container. The amount of gas injected can be finely adjusted at any time through the micro-adjustment component. Even when the gas pressure inside the pressure-resistant insulated container is very low, it can still produce abundant bubbles. The output foam has good consistency and controllability, and there is no clogging. The overall service life is also longer. Attached Figure Description

[0040] It is worth noting that all standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregularly shaped parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part all adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding, which are mature technologies in the prior art. The models of electrical structure equipment involved can be selected according to the user's needs, as long as they meet the requirements of this application. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art. The control, current detection, position feedback, predicted voltage synchronization, and parameter adjustment of the electrical equipment are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. All contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0041] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.

[0042] Example: When this device is needed, the beverage can be filled to 3 / 4 of the pressure-resistant insulated container 1. Then, the pressure-resistant insulated container 1 is sealed by the first sealing ring 4 and the container sealing cap 2. After that, it is connected to the external inflation structure through the self-locking quick-connect male connector 25 and the self-locking quick-connect female connector 24 to inject 0.3 MPa of gas into the pressure-resistant insulated container 1. At this time, some of the gas will enter the liquid beverage and mix with it, and the other part of the gas will be stored in the upper part of the pressure-resistant insulated container 1. Then, the self-locking quick-connect male connector 25 and the self-locking quick-connect female connector 24 are separated. The pressure gauge is connected to the self-locking quick-connect male connector 25 and then to the self-locking quick-connect female connector 24. Before dispensing the liquid, the capillary jet fine adjustment 9 is adjusted according to different beverages. That is, the fine adjustment screw 15 is moved by the nut 14 and drives the rectangular piston plate 17 to move through the connector 16. The rectangular piston plate 17 adjusts the size of the opening below the second gas supply connector 11. Then, the knob 2 is turned to adjust the size of the opening below the second gas supply connector 11. 2. Open the liquid outlet valve 21. At this time, under the pressure inside the pressure-resistant and heat-insulating container 1, the liquid beverage flows into the five-way connector 3 through the infusion pipe 7 and the three-way connector 5. The gas flows directly to the first gas infusion pipe connector 8 through the gas infusion pipe 6, and then enters the second gas infusion pipe connector 11 through the gas guide pipe 12. Finally, it is sprayed into the five-way connector 3 from the spray capillary tube 10, spraying gas onto the beverage liquid flowing through the five-way connector 3, vigorously agitating the beverage liquid and directly generating foam. At the same time, the gas spray can also stimulate the gas dissolved in the liquid beverage to be released. In this way, the foam is richer, finer and longer lasting, and the taste of the beverage is more dense and smooth. The foam generation does not depend excessively on the gas pressure inside the pressure-resistant and heat-insulating container 1. The size of the sprayed gas can be finely adjusted at any time through the micro-adjustment component. Even when the gas pressure inside the pressure-resistant and heat-insulating container 1 is very low, it can still generate rich bubbles. The output foam has good consistency and controllability, and there will be no blockage. The overall service life is longer.
