Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to an anti-clogging structure for bubble bottles. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of healthy eating concepts, consumers are placing higher demands on the functionality, flavor diversity, and freshness of beverages. Sparkling beverages, with their refreshing and stimulating taste, good flavor carrying capacity, and rich natural nutrients when combined with fresh fruit and vegetable juices, are gradually becoming a popular beverage type in modern homes and offices. To meet users' needs for high-quality freshly prepared beverages, multifunctional kitchen appliances are rapidly developing towards intelligence and integration.

[0003] Currently, most related equipment on the market sets up the sparkling water making function and the juice blending function separately. Users need to operate different machines to complete the preparation process, which not only occupies a lot of space and has high operating costs, but also is cumbersome to operate, making it difficult to achieve the convenient "one-click" experience. To address this pain point, the inventor previously applied for a technical solution with patent number CN202510150542.5 and titled "An Integrated Sparkling Juicer". This patent proposes an innovative structure that integrates blending and carbonation functions. Its core lies in the design of a special sparkling beverage bottle that can withstand internal pressure. It can inject carbon dioxide and other gases into the bottle during or after the juice blending process, directly generating a compound beverage with both fruity aroma and effervescence. This effectively achieves functional integration and significantly improves the user's operational convenience and the richness of the drinking experience.

[0004] However, in practical applications, most beverages are fruit juices. When the bottle contains fruit pulp, fiber, or other suspended particles, a large number of bubbles carry these particles upwards during the inflation and shaking process, easily clogging the pressure relief channels on the bottle cap. Once the pressure relief structure fails, the pressure inside the bottle cannot be released in time, affecting not only the bubble generation effect but also potentially posing safety hazards. Existing bubble bottles generally lack effective anti-clogging mechanisms for beverages containing solids, leading to decreased product reliability and a compromised user experience.

[0005] This utility model was developed precisely because of the aforementioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a highly efficient anti-clogging structure for bubble bottles.

[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] This utility model provides an anti-clogging structure for a bubble bottle, including a bottle body and a cap assembly connected to its top. The cap assembly encloses the bottle body to form a receiving cavity. The cap assembly has an air inlet channel, with its upper end located at the top of the cap assembly and its lower end located in the receiving cavity to allow for air injection. The cap assembly also has at least a first venting channel and a corresponding first one-way valve capable of closing the first venting channel. The upper end of the first venting channel communicates with the outside, and its lower end is located in the receiving cavity. The cap assembly includes a mesh tube extending into the bottle body, with the lower end of the first venting channel located inside the mesh tube.

[0009] In the bubble bottle anti-clogging structure described above, the lower end of the air inlet channel is located outside the mesh cylinder.

[0010] As described above, the anti-clogging structure for a bubble bottle includes a cap assembly for connecting the bottle body. The cap assembly is connected to a main valve component. The main valve component has a functional part that extends into the bottle body. The functional part is provided with an injection tube that extends downward into the lower part of the bottle body. The inner cavity of the injection tube forms part of the air inlet channel. The lower end of the first venting channel is located at the bottom of the functional part. The mesh cylinder is sleeved on the functional part. The bottom of the mesh cylinder is provided with a through hole for the injection tube to extend downward.

[0011] As described above, in the bubble bottle anti-clogging structure, the mesh cylinder has at least a number of filter holes on its side wall.

[0012] As described above, the bubble bottle anti-clogging structure has a first pressure relief hole at the lower end of the first venting channel, and the first one-way valve includes a first valve core disposed in the first venting channel and a first elastic element for pushing the first valve core against and closing the first pressure relief hole.

[0013] As described above, in the bubble bottle anti-clogging structure, the first valve core includes a valve core support and a valve core sleeve fitted around the outer periphery of the valve core support.

[0014] As described above, in the bubble bottle anti-clogging structure, the lower part of the valve core sleeve has a protrusion that extends into the first pressure relief hole.

[0015] As described above, in the bubble bottle anti-clogging structure, the bottle cap assembly further includes a sealing sleeve fitted around the functional part, and the mesh cylinder is sandwiched between the sealing sleeve and the functional part.

[0016] As described above, the bubble bottle anti-clogging structure also includes a second venting channel on the bottle cap assembly and a second pressure relief hole that connects the second venting channel to the inner cavity of the bottle. The second venting channel includes a second valve core and a second elastic element for pushing the second valve core against and closing the second pressure relief hole.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. Achieve high-efficiency anti-clogging performance: By setting a mesh tube in the bottle cap assembly and placing the lower end of the venting channel inside the mesh tube, the gas injection disturbance area is effectively isolated from the pressure relief port. Combined with the filter structure and bubble breaking effect, it significantly prevents particles such as fruit pulp from clogging the pressure relief port, ensuring long-term reliable pressure relief function.

[0019] 2. Multiple safety and sealing guarantees: The valve core structure is optimized with a dual pressure relief channel redundancy design and a rigid bracket + soft silicone sleeve and protrusion seal, which not only improves the sealing reliability, but also provides a backup pressure relief path when the main pressure relief channel is abnormal, thus enhancing the safety of use.

[0027] The utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0028] The orientations described in this utility model specification, such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "back," are based on the orientations in the accompanying drawings and are intended to facilitate the description of the relationships between the various components. They do not indicate the unique or absolute positional relationships between the various components, but are merely one embodiment of the utility model and are not a limitation on its implementation.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] This embodiment describes an anti-clogging structure for bubble bottles, such as... Figures 1 to 4As shown, the device includes a bottle body 1 for connection to a gas delivery unit A. The gas delivery unit A is equipped with a gas delivery arm A1, which has a gas delivery nozzle for delivering gas. A bottle cap assembly 2 is connected to the top of the bottle body 1 for sealing it. The bottle cap assembly 2 seals the bottle body 1 to form a receiving cavity 100. The bottle cap assembly 2 has an air inlet channel 200. The upper end of the air inlet channel 200 is located at the top of the bottle cap assembly 2 for docking with the gas delivery nozzle, and the lower end of the air inlet channel 200 is located in the receiving cavity 100 to achieve gas injection. To prevent structural failure due to excessive air pressure, the bottle cap assembly 2 is provided with at least a first venting channel 201 and a corresponding first one-way valve that can close the first venting channel 201. The lower end of the first venting channel 201 is provided with a first pressure relief hole 203. The first one-way valve includes a first valve core 24 disposed in the first venting channel 201 and a first elastic element 25 for pushing the first valve core 24 against and closing the first pressure relief hole 203. Pressure relief can be achieved when the pressure is sufficient to support the first elastic element 25. The upper end of the first venting channel 201 is connected to the outside, and the lower end of the first venting channel 201 is located in the receiving cavity 100. Carbon dioxide and other gases are injected into the beverage in the bottle through the air inlet channel 200 to create a carbonated beverage. This simultaneously increases the air pressure in the receiving cavity 100 and generates bubbles. During this process, particles such as fruit pulp in the beverage can easily rise and clog the first venting channel 201, causing it to malfunction. This is mainly due to the rising bubbles and the shaking of the beverage. Therefore, in this embodiment, the bottle cap assembly 2 includes a mesh cylinder 21 extending into the bottle body 1. The lower end of the first venting channel 201 is located inside the mesh cylinder 21. Preferably, the lower end of the air inlet channel 200 is located outside the mesh cylinder 21, thereby filtering particles and breaking bubbles, i.e., promoting bubble rupture at that location. Ultimately, this effectively prevents particles from entering the area near the first pressure relief hole 203, achieving a highly efficient anti-clogging function. Of course, the lower end of the air inlet channel 200 can also be located on the upper or inner side of the mesh cylinder 21. This anti-clogging mechanism is based on a triple effect of "spatial isolation + physical filtration + bubble dissolution". The mesh cylinder 21 acts as a physical barrier, isolating the high-risk area (venting channel inlet) from the gas injection disturbance area. Simultaneously, the filter pore structure on the cylinder wall effectively intercepts suspended particles, while the relatively static internal flow environment facilitates the natural bursting of bubbles, preventing them from carrying particles upwards into the venting channel and fundamentally solving the blockage problem. Compared to traditional single-pressure-relief structures, this solution significantly improves reliability over long-term use, making it particularly suitable for beverages containing fruit pulp, fiber, or other suspended matter, effectively extending product lifespan and ensuring user safety.

[0031] To achieve the above functions, this embodiment provides a further preferred structure, such as... Figures 3 to 5As shown, the bottle cap assembly 2 includes a cap seat 22 for connecting to the bottle body 1. The cap seat 22 is connected to a main valve component 23. The main valve component 23 has a functional part 231 that extends into the bottle body 1. The functional part 231 is provided with an injection pipe 232 that extends downward into the lower part of the bottle body 1. The inner cavity of the injection pipe 232 forms part of the air inlet channel 200. The lower end of the first venting channel 201 is located at the bottom of the functional part 231. The mesh cylinder 21 is sleeved on the functional part 231. The bottom of the mesh cylinder 21 is provided with a through hole 212 for the injection pipe 232 to extend downward, so that the mesh cylinder 21 encloses a filtration space. The injection position is located outside the filtration space, and the lower port of the venting channel is located inside the filtration space. This layout realizes the flow channel separation design of "external injection and internal venting". The injection disturbance occurs outside the mesh cylinder, while the pressure relief port is protected in the clean area inside the mesh cylinder, which greatly reduces the risk of particle intrusion and facilitates assembly and maintenance.

[0032] As a preferred option, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the mesh cylinder 21 has at least a plurality of filter holes 211 on its side walls. The filter holes 211 can be arranged only on the side walls of the mesh cylinder 21 or at the bottom. As a preferred method, the density of the filter holes 211 arranged on the side walls is greater than the density of the filter holes 211 arranged at the bottom. The high-density filter holes on the side walls can enhance the horizontal particle interception capability, while the low-density or non-porous design at the bottom avoids the direct blockage of the pressure relief holes by settled particles, thus balancing filtration efficiency and anti-clogging performance.

[0033] As a preferred option, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the first valve core 24 includes a valve core support 241 and a valve core sleeve 242 fitted around the outer periphery of the valve core support 241. This allows the first valve core 24 to be made of a combination of different materials. For example, the valve core support 241 can be made of a high-hardness plastic material, while the valve core sleeve 242 can be made of a soft and elastic silicone material. This ensures both support and sealing performance. The rigid support provides structural rigidity, ensuring that the valve core does not deform during repeated opening and closing; the soft silicone sleeve forms a highly fitted sealing surface, which can reliably seal the pressure relief hole even under small pressure differentials, improving sealing reliability and service life.

[0034] As a preferred option, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the lower part of the valve core sleeve 242 is provided with a protrusion 243 that extends into the first pressure relief hole 203, further preventing particles from entering the first venting channel 201. This protrusion not only extends the sealing contact path, but also forms a physical barrier at the inlet of the pressure relief hole, effectively preventing suspended particles from entering the channel with the airflow, further enhancing the anti-clogging capability.

[0035] As a preferred option, such as Figures 3 to 5As shown, the bottle cap assembly 2 also includes a sealing sleeve 28 fitted around the functional part 231. The mesh cylinder 21 is sandwiched between the sealing sleeve 28 and the functional part 231. The sealing sleeve 28 serves both as a seal and for installation and fixation. Preferably, the sealing sleeve 28 and the mesh cylinder 21 can be integrally molded using a secondary injection molding process. This integral secondary injection molding structure not only simplifies the assembly process but also ensures the relative positional accuracy between the mesh cylinder and the sealing sleeve, preventing sealing or filtration failure due to loosening, and improving overall structural stability and production consistency.

[0036] As a preferred option, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the bottle cap assembly 2 is also provided with a second venting channel 206 and a corresponding second pressure relief hole 207 connecting the second venting channel 206 to the inner cavity of the bottle body 1. The second venting channel 206 contains a second valve core 26 and a second elastic element 27 for pushing the second valve core 26 against and sealing the second pressure relief hole 207. The second valve core 26 adopts the same structure as the first valve core 24. This dual pressure relief channel configuration provides redundant protection for pressure release. Under extreme conditions (such as temporary obstruction of the first pressure relief channel), the second pressure relief channel can still operate normally, preventing abnormal increases in bottle pressure and significantly improving safety.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] The differences from Embodiment 1 include, but are not limited to, the fact that the second valve core 26 and the first valve core 24 have different structures. In principle, the two valve cores can use the same structure or different structures, as long as they can provide unidirectional pressure relief. This embodiment embodies a modular design concept—different valve core structures can be flexibly selected according to actual application scenarios (such as pressure thresholds, media characteristics, cost control, etc.). For example, the first valve core is used for routine pressure relief, while the second valve core can be designed as a backup channel for higher opening pressure, or made of corrosion-resistant materials to adapt to specific beverage components, thereby achieving a balance between functional customization and cost optimization.

[0039] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model, and common knowledge regarding specific structures and characteristics is not elaborated upon here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. These modifications will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed in this application shall be determined by the content of its claims, and the specific embodiments described in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
