Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a bubble generator, and more particularly, to a bubble generator that is provided with a magnetization module having a number of permanent magnets arranged therein, which converts drawn-in water in a magnetized space and discharges it to the outside. The present invention relates to a bubble generator that has a number of magnetization modules arranged therein to increase the residence time of moving water, thereby improving magnetization conversion efficiency, and that rotates the moving water and causes it to collide multiple times to form and discharge microbubbles. [Background technology]

[0002] Water is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, and as the temperature rises, it forms a chain or pentagonal ring of five atoms, and as the temperature drops, the number of hexagonal rings increases. Water that forms this hexagonal ring molecular structure, i.e., hexagonal water, is known to be beneficial for improving the vital functions of living organisms because it has a large heat capacity and is compatible with other biomolecules.

[0003] One method for obtaining such hexagonal water is to cool the water to lower its temperature, but this method is not used because it involves a large amount of energy loss and is not very effective.In most cases, a magnetized water ion generator using a permanent magnet is used.

[0004] The magnetized water ion generator is based on the principle that when water is passed through the magnetic field of a magnet, the molecular structure of the water is ionized, turning it into magnetized water that is rich in minerals and has a weak alkaline hexagonal structure. This magnetized water is known to activate cells in the body, promote the growth of plants and animals, has excellent bacterial sterilization properties, and can effectively treat skin diseases. It is also known to have the characteristic of preventing foreign objects from clogging the pipes through which the water flows and preventing bacteria from accumulating.

[0005] Furthermore, since magnetized water can be obtained in large quantities in a short time and can be manufactured in a small size, it is widely used in a wide range of fields, including not only drinking water in ordinary households but also food factories, public baths, livestock farming, and plant cultivation.

[0006] However, conventional magnetized water generators are based on a method in which a magnet is simply placed inside a housing and water is magnetized by the magnet as it momentarily passes through the housing. This results in a problem in that the amount of contact with the magnet and the amount of exposed water are reduced, resulting in a significant decrease in magnetization efficiency.

[0007] On the other hand, microbubbles are bubbles with a very small diameter, typically less than 50 μm, which is approximately 1 / 100 the thickness of a human hair and is therefore extremely tiny.

[0008] Such microbubbles are used in a wide range of fields, including the medical, environmental, and industrial fields. In the medical field, they are used, for example, in ultrasound diagnosis and drug delivery systems. In the environmental field, they are used, for example, in water treatment to purify water quality and to supply oxygen to aquaculture and lakes by dissolving more oxygen in water. In the industrial field, they are used, for example, for high-precision and efficient cleaning and for promoting chemical reactions. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0010] The present invention aims to solve the above problems and provide magnetized water containing microbubbles, and aims to provide a bubble generator in which a magnetization module having a permanent magnet is disposed in a magnetized space in which water moves, and one or more magnetization modules are disposed, and the moving water is exposed to a magnetic field for a long time while moving along the outer periphery of the magnetization module, thereby improving magnetization efficiency.

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide a bubble generator that can guide the movement path of magnetized water to increase the residence time and thereby increase magnetization efficiency, and can generate and discharge microbubbles by causing the moving water to collide multiple times, thereby providing magnetized water containing microbubbles and increasing the expected effects of the magnetized water. [Means for solving the problem]

[0012] To achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized by comprising: a housing in which a magnetized space is formed inside through which water moves; magnetization modules arranged in the magnetized space at intervals and each having a permanent magnet disposed therein to magnetize the water moving along the magnetized space; a screw module provided on the outer surface of the magnetization module to guide the movement path of the water moving along the magnetized space, rotating the moving water; and a circular plate arranged in the magnetized space, with its outer edge abutting the inner surface of the housing that forms the magnetized space, and having a movement hole in its center through which the water moves, guiding the magnetized water to move through the movement hole as it passes through the magnetization module.

[0013] The magnetization module may further include a body having an arrangement space in which the permanent magnet is arranged, a cover coupled to one end of the body to seal the arrangement space, and protrusions protruding in opposite directions from one surface of the body and the cover.

[0014] Furthermore, the screw module is characterized in that it comprises a lateral guide formed on a pair of symmetrical surfaces of the magnetization module, and a longitudinal guide formed vertically on the outer surface of the magnetization module, and the lateral guide and the longitudinal guide each have an arc shape with a predetermined bending rate.

[0015] Furthermore, the circular plate is arranged between the plurality of magnetization modules, and the circular plate is characterized in that it has a vertical plate for forming a vortex flow that protrudes from its edge toward the magnetization module, and a folded plate that is folded from the end of the vertical plate for forming a vortex flow toward the movement hole and restricts the movement path of the water.

[0016] In this case, the vertical plates for forming vortex flows are characterized in that a number of them are arranged radially at intervals from each other on the edge of the disk-shaped plate. [Effects of the Invention]

[0017] The present invention having the above-mentioned configuration magnetizes moving water using a plurality of magnetization modules, guides the path of the moving water, increases the residence time without slowing down the moving speed, and increases magnetization efficiency. It also collides the moving water multiple times to form and discharge microbubbles, thereby providing magnetized water with microbubbles formed, and has the advantage of being highly applicable in a wide range of fields.

[0018] In particular, the present invention has the advantage that by moving the water around the magnetization module while rotating it, the residence time can be increased without reducing the movement speed, thereby maximizing the magnetization efficiency.

[0019] Furthermore, the present invention has the advantage that the magnetized water containing microbubbles can be discharged due to multiple collisions that occur as the magnetized water moves toward the outlet of the housing, and can be used in a wide range of industrial fields as well as in ordinary households.

[0021] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the bubble generating device according to the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] First, the bubble generator 1 of the present invention comprises a housing 10 in which water moves and a magnetized space 13 is formed inside; magnetization modules 20 arranged at intervals from each other in the magnetized space 13 and having permanent magnets 30 arranged inside them to magnetize the water moving along the magnetized space 13; a screw module 40 arranged on the outer surface of the magnetization module 20 to guide the movement path of the water moving along the magnetized space 13, rotating the moving water; and a circular plate 50 arranged in the magnetized space 13, with its outer edge abutting the inner surface of the housing 10 that forms the magnetized space 13, and having a movement hole 51 through which the water moves in the center, which guides the magnetized water to move through the movement hole 51 as it passes through the magnetization module 20.

[0023] The housing 10 is composed of a hollow tube with an open interior, and has an inlet 11 at one longitudinal end through which water is drawn in, and an outlet 12 at the opposite end from the inlet 11 through which water converted into magnetized water is discharged. Between the inlet 11 and the outlet 12 is provided a magnetized space 13 in which the water drawn in through the inlet 11 is converted into magnetized water.

[0024] The inlet 11 and the outlet 12 are connected to a supply pipe (not shown) through which water flows. For this purpose, an engaging spiral is formed on the inner or outer circumferential surface, and a fixing nut (not shown) is disposed to connect to the supply pipe, and a packing 17 is further disposed to prevent water leakage from the connection portion.

[0025] In addition, the outlet 12 may further be provided with a socket 14 to which a receiving pipe (not shown) for receiving the water converted into magnetized water is connected, and the socket 14 is arranged so that receiving pipes having different diameters can be connected.

[0026] Meanwhile, a number of socket coupling holes 15 are formed radially from the center of the outlet 12 on the outlet 12 side of the housing 10 in order to increase the coupling strength of the coupled socket 14, and coupling pins 16 are formed on the socket 14 to be inserted into the socket coupling holes 15.

[0027] At this time, the coupling pin 16 has a rectangular plate shape with a predetermined height, one side of which is formed vertically, and the other side, which is symmetrical to the other side, is formed vertically in part and is formed in an inclined shape so that the cross section gradually narrows from the end toward the direction of insertion into the socket coupling hole 15, so that the process of inserting into the socket coupling hole 15 can be easily performed and the coupled state can be firmly maintained when inserted.

[0028] The magnetization module 20 is disposed in the magnetization space 13 of the housing 10 to magnetize the water drawn in through the inlet 11. To this end, the magnetization module 20 comprises a body 21 having an arrangement space 211 in which the permanent magnet 30 is disposed, a cover 22 coupled to one end of the body 21 to seal the arrangement space 211, and protruding protrusions 23 protruding in opposite directions from one side of the body 21 and the cover 22.

[0029] Here, as shown in the figure, the body 21 has a cylindrical shape in which the arrangement space 211 is formed, and the permanent magnets 30 arranged in the arrangement space 211 are arranged so that many of them abut against each other, but the abutting surfaces have different polarities from each other.

[0030] At this time, the permanent magnets 30 have a predetermined thickness, a triangular cross section, and are arranged so that a number of them abut against each other.

[0031] The cover 22 closes the placement space 211 of the body 21, and after the permanent magnet 30 is stored or replaced, the placement space 211 is sealed to prevent water from flowing into the placement space 211 in which the permanent magnet 30 is stored.

[0032] The protrusions 23 protrude outward from the surfaces of the body 21 and the cover 22 that constitute the magnetization module 20, which are exposed to the outside. When multiple magnetization modules 20 are arranged, a predetermined space is formed between each magnetization module 20, thereby forming a space through which water can move.

[0033] In other words, the protruding protrusions 23 create a space for water to move between a pair of adjacently arranged magnetization modules 20, preventing the movement of water from being hindered, and also minimize interference caused by magnetic forces between the permanent magnets 30 arranged in each magnetization module 20.

[0034] The screw module 40 is provided on the outer surface of the magnetization module 20 and guides the path of water moving along the magnetization space 13, rotating the moving water to increase the water movement speed, and extending the path of movement to a long length, thereby increasing the residence time and improving the magnetization efficiency.

[0035] In more detail, the screw module 40 comprises a lateral guide 41 formed on a pair of symmetrical surfaces of the magnetization module 20, and a longitudinal guide 42 formed vertically on the outer surface of the magnetization module 20, and the lateral guide 41 and the longitudinal guide 42 each have an arc shape with a predetermined bending rate.

[0036] The lateral guides 41 are formed on the outer exposed surfaces of the body 21 and the cover 22 constituting the magnetization module 20, respectively, and are arranged radially from the center of the body 21 and the cover 22, each having a predetermined bending rate.

[0037] Such a lateral guide 41 is protruded to a predetermined height, and the protruding height is set to a height at which it abuts against the surface of a circular plate 50 described later, so that the moving water moves along the surface of the lateral guide 41 without moving into the space formed by the height difference between the lateral guide 41 and the circular plate 50.

[0038] In addition, as described above, the lateral guides 41 are arranged radially at intervals, and each lateral guide 41 is formed to have the same bending rate so that the moving water rotates in the same direction.

[0039] That is, as shown in the figure, the lateral guides 41 are arranged at positions spaced apart from each other on the upper surface of the body 21, but are arranged so that each has the same bending rate, and as mentioned above, the heightwise ends of the lateral guides 41 are arranged in contact with the surface of the circular plate 50, so that the water movement path moves along the curved surface of the lateral guides 41, and the overall water movement path becomes a path that moves while rotating in the same direction.

[0040] The vertical guide 42 protrudes outward from the outer circumferential surface of the magnetization module 20, more precisely, the body 21 constituting the magnetization module 20, and is formed to have a relatively large bending rate compared to the outer circumferential surface.

[0041] In addition, the vertical guide 42 is formed obliquely along the vertical length of the body 21 to guide the direction of water movement, and as it moves along the outer circumferential surface of the body 21 on which the permanent magnet 30 is arranged, the time it is exposed to the permanent magnet 30 is extended, thereby improving magnetization efficiency.

[0042] Meanwhile, the vertical guides 42 are arranged radially at intervals from the center of the body 21, and the water moves along the outer circumferential surface of the body 21. The vertical guides 42 rotate downwards, increasing the moving speed, but also increasing the moving distance and the retention time.

[0043] The disk-shaped plate 50 is placed in the magnetized space 13, with its outer edge abutting the inner surface of the housing 10 that forms the magnetized space 13, and has a movement hole 51 in the center through which water moves, guiding the magnetized water to move through the movement hole 51 as it passes through the magnetization module 20.

[0044] Such a disk-shaped plate 50 is made of a material that is not affected by the magnetic force of the permanent magnets 30 arranged in the magnetization module 20, and is arranged between a pair of magnetization modules 20 so that the magnetic forces provided by each of the pair of magnetization modules 20 do not affect each other.

[0045] Needless to say, the disk-shaped plate 50 is made of a metal material that reacts to magnetic force, and can increase the magnetic force, i.e., the magnetic field area, and the strength of the magnetic force, thereby improving the magnetization efficiency.

[0046] Meanwhile, the disk-shaped plate 50 collides with the moving water to form bubbles in the water. For this purpose, the disk-shaped plate 50 is provided with vertical plates 52 for forming vortex flows, which are disposed between the plurality of magnetization modules 20 and protrude from the edges toward the magnetization modules 20, and bent plates 53 formed by bending the ends of the vertical plates 52 for forming vortex flows toward the movement holes 51 to restrict the movement path of the water.

[0047] The vortex-forming vertical plates 52 are arranged vertically above or below the edge of the disk-shaped plate 50, and form vortices as the moving water collides with them. A number of such vortex-forming vertical plates 52 are arranged radially from the center of the disk-shaped plate 50 at intervals.

[0048] The bent plates 53 are formed by bending the ends of the vortex-forming vertical plates 52 toward the moving hole 51 formed in the center of the disc-shaped plate 50. There is no particular restriction on the bending angle, and multiple vortex-forming vertical plates 52 are formed by bending them at different angles, so that water moving at different positions collides with each other to form vortices and bubbles due to the collision.

[0049] The circular plate 50 having the above-described configuration is disposed between a pair of magnetization modules 20, and water converted into magnetized water by magnetic force as it passes through the magnetization modules 20 comes into contact with the plate, causing a vortex phenomenon, extending the retention time, and generating bubbles due to collisions, which are then discharged.

[0050] At this time, in order to increase the amount of bubbles discharged and further reduce the size of the bubbles, the magnetized water may be discharged through the outlet 12 of the housing 10, and a gas supply means (not shown) may be provided at or outside the outlet 12, so that the magnetized water discharged from the outlet 12 may be mixed with gas to generate microbubbles and then discharged.

[0051] As described above, the present invention has been described using specific details such as specific components and limited embodiments and drawings, but this is merely provided to further deepen a general understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments in any way. A person having ordinary knowledge in the field to which the present invention belongs can make various modifications and variations from such descriptions.

[0052] Therefore, the spirit of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, and it can be said that not only the scope of the appended claims, but also all modifications equivalent to or equivalent to the scope of the claims belong to the scope of the spirit of the present invention.
