[0041] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a microbubble generator. The microbubble generator 10 includes a barrel 1 and a cutting assembly 2. The barrel 1 has an inner cavity 11. The barrel 1 is provided with an inlet 12 and an outlet 13 communicating with the inner cavity 11. The inlet 12 is used to inject gas and water, and the outlet 13 is used to discharge the bubble water out of the inner cavity 11. The cutting assembly 2 includes a driving member 21 and a cutting member 22. The cutting member 22 is provided with a plurality of cutting holes. The cutting member 22 is disposed in the inner cavity 11 and connected to the output end of the driving member 21. The driving member 21 can drive the cutting member 22 to rotate in the inner cavity 11.

[0043] Water and air are injected into the inner cavity 11 through the inlet 12. The drive component 21 drives the cutter 22 to rotate in the inner cavity 11. During the rotation, the cutter 22 can cut the water flow, thereby increasing the number of bubbles and reducing the size of the bubbles. This makes the bubble water that comes out of the outlet 13 more concentrated and gentle microbubble water, thus improving the user experience.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the drive component 21 is fixed on the barrel 1 and located outside the inner cavity 11. The cutting assembly 2 also includes a rotating shaft 23, which is inserted into the barrel 1. One end of the rotating shaft 23 is connected to the output end of the drive component 21. Multiple cutting components 22 are arranged on the rotating shaft 23 along the circumference of the rotating shaft 23. The drive component 21 drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 23 drives the rotation of the cutting components 22. By increasing the number of cutting components 22, the efficiency of cutting water flow can be improved, and the number of bubbles can be increased as much as possible.

[0045] It should also be noted that the driving component 21 can also be used to prepare microbubble water at a lower water pressure, reducing the preparation conditions and costs.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, exemplarily, the drive unit 21 is a motor. In order to overcome water resistance, the microbubble generator 10 also includes a gear set 3. The gear set 3 includes at least a large gear and a small gear. The large gear is connected to the rotating shaft 23, and the small gear is connected to the output shaft of the motor. The large gear and the small gear mesh, thereby increasing the torque through the gear set 3, reducing the requirements on the drive unit 21, and reducing costs.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the barrel body 1 includes a barrel body 14, a top cover 15, and a bottom cover 16. The barrel body 14 has openings at both ends. The top cover 15 and the bottom cover 16 are located at opposite ends of the barrel body 14 and can be connected to the barrel body 14 by means of, but not limited to, snap-fit, bolt connection, threaded connection, etc., to seal both ends of the barrel body 14. It is understood that sealing rings 4 can be provided between the top cover 15 and the barrel body 14, and between the bottom cover 16 and the barrel body 14. To maintain rotational stability, a drive component 21 is provided on the top cover 15. The first end of the rotating shaft 23 passes through the top cover 15 and connects to the drive component 21. The second end of the rotating shaft 23 extends into the inner cavity 11 and is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity 11, that is, the rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected to the bottom cover 16. It is understood that a sealing ring 4 is also provided between the rotating shaft 23 and the top cover 15. For example, the bottom cover 16 has a transition hole on the side facing the top cover 15, and the rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected in the transition hole.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, specifically, a gear groove 17 is provided on the top cover 15, and a cover 18 is provided on the top cover 15. The cover 18 is closed in the groove of the gear groove 17, thereby forming a gear cavity. The drive member 21 is fixed on the cover 18. The large gear and the small gear are located in the gear cavity, and the output end of the drive member 21 extends into the gear cavity to connect with the small gear.

[0049] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the cutting element 22 and the rotating shaft 23 are detachably connected, facilitating later maintenance. Specifically, the cutting element 22 is a filter screen, and the filter holes of the filter screen are the cutting holes. To fix the filter screen, the cutting assembly 2 also includes a fixing frame 24, on which the filter screen is fixed. The rotating shaft 23 is provided with a fixing groove 231, which extends axially along the rotating shaft 23. The fixing frame 24 is embedded in the fixing groove 231, thereby fixing the filter screen to the rotating shaft 23. In other embodiments, the cutting element 22 can be a fan blade, with the cutting holes distributed on the fan blade. When using a fan blade, the fan blade and the rotating shaft 23 can be fixed by, but not limited to, plugging or snapping. For example, the filter screen has a mesh size of 200-400 mesh, which can better cut the water flow. If the mesh size is too small, it will easily block the water flow; if the mesh size is too large, it will weaken the cutting effect.

[0050] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, specifically, the fixing frame 24 includes a frame body 241 and a cover frame 242. The frame body 241 has a groove 243, in which the filter screen is embedded. The frame body 241 is inserted into a fixing groove 231. The cover frame 242 covers the opening of the groove 243 and is detachably connected to the frame body 241, thereby confining the filter screen within the groove 243. More specifically, one of the frame body 241 and the cover frame 242 has a first insertion protrusion 244, and the other has a first insertion hole 245. The frame body 241 and the cover frame 242 are detachably connected by inserting the first insertion protrusion 244 into the first insertion hole 245. In other embodiments, the frame body 241 and the cover frame 242 can also be fixed by, but not limited to, bolts.

[0051] To further improve the efficiency of splitting bubbles, two slots 243 are provided, which are positioned opposite each other on opposite sides of the frame body 241. Each slot 243 contains a corresponding filter screen, and the cover frame 242 is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the slots 243, thereby increasing the efficiency by increasing the number of filters.

[0052] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, to facilitate the fixed installation of the fixing frame 24, the rotating shaft 23 includes a shaft body 232 and a limiting base 233. The first end of the shaft body 232 is provided with a connecting hole 237, and the gear shaft of the large gear is inserted into the connecting hole 237 so that the first end of the shaft body 232 is connected to the output end of the drive member 21. A retaining ring 234 is also provided on the shaft body 232, and a sealing ring 4 is provided between the retaining ring 234 and the top cover 15, thereby sealing the position where the rotating shaft 23 passes through the top cover 15. The fixing groove 231 extends from the blocking ring 234 along the axial direction of the shaft body 232 toward the second end of the shaft body 232 and passes through the second end of the shaft body 232, thereby forming an open opening. The fixing frame 24 can be inserted into the fixing groove 231 through the open opening. The limiting base 233 is detachably set at the second end of the shaft body 232, thereby blocking the opening at the second end of the shaft body 232. The fixing frame 24 is supported by the limiting base 233, thereby fixing the fixing frame 24 between the blocking ring 234 and the limiting base 233. In the current embodiment, the limiting base 233 includes a base plate 2331 and a plurality of connecting plates 2332 spaced apart around the base plate 2331. The fixing frame 24 is supported on the base plate 2331 and clamped between two adjacent connecting plates 2332. One of the connecting plates 2332 and the shaft body 232 is provided with a second insertion protrusion 235, and the other is provided with a second insertion hole 236. Thus, the limiting base 233 and the shaft body 232 are detachably connected by inserting the second insertion protrusion 235 into the second insertion hole 236. In the current embodiment, the second insertion protrusion 235 is provided on the shaft body 232 and located between two adjacent fixing grooves 231.

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, the shaft body 232 includes a large diameter section and a small diameter section. The connecting hole 237 is located at the end of the large diameter section away from the small diameter section. The fixing groove 231 and the blocking ring 234 are both located on the large diameter section. The limiting base 233 is provided with a through hole 2333. The end of the small diameter section away from the large diameter section passes through the through hole 2333 and is connected to the adapter hole on the bottom cover 16, so that the rotating shaft 23 rotates on the inner bottom wall of the inner cavity 11.

[0054] In some embodiments, the microbubble generator 10 further includes a water inlet head 5, which includes a first pipe 51 and a second pipe 52. One end of the first pipe 51 is connected to the inlet 12, and the other end of the first pipe 51 is used to connect to a water source. Furthermore, the first pipe 51 has a reduced diameter section, and the second pipe 52 is connected to the reduced diameter section and is used to connect to an air pump. Thus, a mixture of gas and water can be injected into the inlet 12 through the water inlet head 5; and when water flows into the first pipe 51, the water flow accelerates in the reduced diameter section, thereby creating a negative pressure. The second pipe 52, connected to the reduced diameter section, can draw in air entering the second pipe 52, reducing the problem of poor air intake and also reducing the power requirements of the air pump, saving costs.

[0055] This utility model also provides a water outlet pipeline, which includes an inlet valve 20 and the aforementioned microbubble generator 10. The inlet valve 20 is connected to the inlet head, thereby connecting to the inlet port 12 to supply water to the inner cavity 11. Subsequently, the water flow is cut by the cutting element 22 to increase the number of bubbles and reduce bubble breakage, thereby improving the user experience. It is understood that the water outlet pipeline may also include commonly used components such as heaters and diverter valves.

[0056] This utility model also provides a toilet that uses the aforementioned water outlet pipe, thereby making the aerated water more concentrated and gentle, improving the user experience. Since the water outlet pipe is located on the toilet, it is understood that the water outlet pipe may also include commonly used components such as a heater 50, a water distribution valve 60, and a vacuum breaker 30. The specific connection location of the microbubble generator is not specifically limited and can be determined according to different water output requirements; for example:

[0057] like Figure 8 As shown, the water outlet pipeline includes a heater 50, a water distribution valve 60, a vacuum breaker 30, a water pump 40, a spray gun 70, and a microbubble generator 10. The water inlet of the vacuum breaker 30 is connected to the water outlet of the water distribution valve 60, the water inlet of the water pump 40 is connected to the water outlet of the vacuum breaker 30, the water inlet of the heater 50 is connected to the water outlet of the water pump 40, and the water inlet of the water distribution valve 60 is connected to the water outlet of the heater 50. The spray gun 70 has multiple water outlet channels, and the water distribution valve 60 has multiple water outlets. The water inlets of the multiple water outlet channels of the spray gun 70 are connected to different water outlets of the water distribution valve 60, so that water can be selectively supplied to different water outlet channels of the spray gun 70 through the water distribution valve 60. For example, the spray gun 70 may include, but is not limited to, a self-cleaning channel and a cleaning channel, so that water washing is performed through the cleaning channel and self-cleaning is performed through the self-cleaning channel.

[0058] And depending on different needs, such as Figure 8As shown, the microbubble generator 10 can be installed between the water distribution valve 60 and the heater 50, so that microbubble water can be directly circulated through the cleaning channel to form microbubble water washing. Alternatively, a bubble nozzle 90 can be connected to one of the outlets of the water distribution valve 60, so that ordinary water washing is performed through the cleaning channel, and microbubble water washing is performed through the bubble nozzle 90.

[0059] Of course, such as Figure 10 As shown, the microbubble generator 10 can also be installed at one of the outlet ends of the water distribution valve 60. The spray gun 70 also has a microbubble channel, so that the outlet 13 of the microbubble generator 10 is connected to the microbubble channel of the spray gun 70, thereby forming ordinary water cleaning through the cleaning channel and microbubble water washing through the microbubble channel, improving the adaptability to the inner pipe range; or as... Figure 9 As shown, the microbubble generator 10 is installed at one of the outlet ends of the water distribution valve 60, and an additional bubble nozzle 90 is connected to the microbubble generator 10.

[0060] In addition, a ceramic lubricating tube 80 can be installed in the water outlet pipeline. The ceramic lubricating tube 80 is connected to one of the water outlet ends of the water distribution valve 60, so that ceramic lubrication operation can be performed.

[0061] It is understood that the above-mentioned water outlet pipe is only one type of connection, and in other alternative embodiments, the connection positions of each component can be changed according to different water outlet requirements.

[0062] It should be noted that the above-mentioned water outlet pipe can also be used on other devices that require aerated water, such as shower heads and faucets.

[0063] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
