Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carbonated water preparation, and in particular to a carbonated water preparation system. Background Technology

[0002] Carbonated water is water infused with dissolved carbon dioxide. It works by pressurizing the water to dissolve the carbon dioxide, which then dissolves and forms bubbles when the pressure is released. Carbonated water replenishes fluids and minerals, provides energy, refreshes the mind, relieves heat, aids digestion, and has antibacterial properties, making it popular. However, existing methods for preparing carbonated water typically involve pressurizing pure water at the inlet using a booster pump and then transferring it to a storage container. Carbon dioxide gas from a carbon dioxide storage tank is then directly injected into the pure water in the storage container, causing a gas-liquid mixture. This method produces carbonated water with poor bubble formation, a low bubble rate, and low solubility of carbon dioxide in pure water, resulting in easily dissipated bubbles and affecting the taste. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a carbonated water preparation system that has high solubility of carbon dioxide and pure water, good dissolving ability, and ensures the taste of carbonated water.

[0004] The technical solution of the carbonated water preparation system of this utility model is as follows: it includes a water inlet and a carbon dioxide storage tank. The water inlet is connected to the inlet of a water storage container, the outlet of the water storage container is connected to a booster pump, the booster pump is connected to a jet device, the jet device is provided with a water inlet connector, an air inlet connector, and a water outlet connector, the booster pump is connected to the water inlet connector, the carbon dioxide storage tank is connected to a first pressure regulating valve, the first pressure regulating valve is connected to an air inlet valve, the air inlet valve is connected to the air inlet connector of the jet device, the water outlet connector of the jet device is connected to the inlet of a gas-liquid mixing tank, the outlet of the gas-liquid mixing tank is connected to a water outlet valve, and the water outlet valve is connected to the carbonated water outlet.

[0005] Furthermore, an inlet valve is provided between the water inlet and the water storage container.

[0006] Furthermore, the water storage container is a water tank or a pressure water storage tank.

[0007] Furthermore, an aerator or a second pressure regulating valve is provided between the outlet of the gas-liquid mixing tank and the water outlet valve.

[0008] Furthermore, an airflow controller is provided between the air intake valve and the air intake connector of the jet device.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this novel carbonated water preparation system are: 1. By installing a water storage container at the inlet, the pure water pressure input at the inlet can reach a stable atmospheric pressure, which can avoid affecting the dissolution effect of bubbles due to unstable water pressure. Second, the pure water and carbon dioxide gas, after being pressurized by the booster pump, undergo a first gas-liquid mixture through a jet device, and then a second gas-liquid mixture through a gas-liquid mixing tank. The two gas-liquid mixtures result in carbonated water with a high bubble rate, good bubble effect, high solubility of carbon dioxide and pure water, and good dissolving ability, thus ensuring the taste of carbonated water.

Detailed Implementation

[0012] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0013] This utility model relates to a carbonated water preparation system, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes an inlet 1 and a carbon dioxide storage tank 2. The inlet 1 is connected to the inlet of a water storage container 3, and the outlet of the water storage container 3 is connected to a booster pump 4. The booster pump 4 is connected to a jet device 5. The jet device 5 is equipped with an inlet connector 6, an air inlet connector 7, and an outlet connector 8. The booster pump 4 is connected to the inlet connector 6. The carbon dioxide storage tank 2 is connected to a first pressure regulating valve 9, which is connected to an air inlet valve 10. The air inlet valve 10 is connected to the air inlet connector 6 of the jet device 5. The outlet connector 8 of the jet device 5 is connected to the inlet of a gas-liquid mixing tank 11, and the outlet of the gas-liquid mixing tank 11 is connected to an outlet valve 12. The outlet valve 12 is connected to a carbonated water outlet 13.

[0014] Furthermore, an inlet valve 14 is provided between the water inlet 1 and the water storage container 3.

[0015] Furthermore, the water storage container 3 is a water tank or a pressurized water storage tank. When the water storage container 3 is a water tank, a water level sensor can be installed in the water tank (the specific structure of the water level sensor is existing technology, which can sense the water level; when the water level reaches a specified height, it proves that the water tank is full of pure water). When the water storage container 3 is a pressurized water storage tank, a pressure sensor can be installed in the pressurized water storage tank (the specific structure of the pressure sensor is existing technology; when the pressure reaches a specified pressure, it proves that the pressurized water storage tank is full of pure water).

[0016] Furthermore, an aerator 15 or a second pressure regulating valve is provided between the outlet of the gas-liquid mixing tank 11 and the water outlet valve 12. The gas-liquid mixing pressure of the carbonated water output by the gas-liquid mixing tank 11 can be adjusted by the aerator 15 or the second pressure regulating valve (the specific structure of the aerator and the pressure regulating valve are existing technologies and can be directly purchased from the market), thereby increasing the solubility of bubbles in the carbonated water and adjusting the concentration of the carbonated water.

[0017] Furthermore, an airflow controller 16 is provided between the air intake valve 10 and the air intake connector 7 of the jet device 5. With the airflow controller 16, the airflow speed of the carbon dioxide intake can be controlled.

[0018] This utility model discloses a carbonated water preparation system. The inlet valve 14, air inlet valve 10, and outlet valve 12 can all be solenoid valves. These solenoid valves are connected to a controller (the specific structure and setting principle of the controller are existing technologies). The controller can control the opening and closing of the solenoid valves. When carbonated water is to be prepared, the inlet valve 14, air inlet valve 10, and outlet valve 12 are opened. Pure water is transported through the inlet 1 (which can be connected to a water purifier or tap) and the inlet valve 14 to the storage container 3. The storage container 3 ensures the transported pure water reaches normal pressure, preventing unstable water pressure from affecting the dissolution effect of bubbles. Then, the pure water is transported through the outlet of the storage container 3 to the booster pump 4 for pressurization, and then through the inlet connector 6 into the jetting device 5 (the jetting device 5 is equipped with a Venturi jetter; its specific structure is existing technology, and reference can be made to CN217676925U, which describes a Venturi jetter in a jetting cavity). The carbon dioxide in the carbon dioxide storage tank 2 is transported to the jet device 5 via the first pressure regulating valve 9, the air inlet valve 10, the airflow controller 16, and the air inlet connector 7. In the jet device 5, high-pressure pure water and carbon dioxide undergo a first gas-liquid mixture, and the mixture is then transported from the water outlet connector 8 to the gas-liquid mixing tank 11 (the gas-liquid mixing tank 11 is equipped with a microfiltration membrane or ultrafiltration membrane and a flow limiting plate; its specific structure is existing technology, and can be referenced in CN217676925U, which describes the gas-liquid mixing chamber equipped with a microporous shearing device and a flow limiting plate). A second gas-liquid mixture is then carried out in the gas-liquid mixing tank 11 to obtain carbonated water, which is then transported to the bubbler 15 or the second pressure regulating valve through the outlet of the gas-liquid mixing tank 11. The gas-liquid mixing pressure of the carbonated water can be adjusted by the bubbler 15 or the second pressure regulating valve to further improve the solubility of the bubbles in the carbonated water. Finally, the carbonated water is output through the water outlet valve 12 and the carbonated water outlet 13.
