Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This disclosure relates to a mineral water production system and method, and more particularly to a mineral water production system and method that involves mixing reverse osmosis filtered boiling water with stone powder to dissolve minerals in the reverse osmosis filtered boiling water. [Previous Technology]

[0002] Mineral water refers to water containing dissolved minerals (including trace elements). Mineral water is one type of mineral water, usually obtained through extraction or extraction from mineral springs. In some countries, regulations do not specify the required amount of dissolved minerals, trace elements, or other nutrients in mineral water; as long as it can be proven that it was obtained from a specific location, it can be labeled as mineral water. Therefore, there is no guarantee that commercially available mineral water is truly beneficial to the human body, or whether it makes brewed tea or coffee taste better.

[0003] On the other hand, mineral water may not have undergone a heating and sterilization process, and therefore may contain parasites or bacteria. For example, there have been news reports of people who used high-altitude mineral water to make tea experiencing vomiting and diarrhea and requiring hospitalization due to bacteria in the water. Furthermore, mineral water sources are usually located in high mountains. Therefore, after the mineral water is extracted, it needs to be transported from the mountain to the foot of the mountain. This makes commercially available mineral water more expensive than regular purified water. In addition, the entire process of obtaining mineral water may damage the ecosystem and increase carbon emissions, which is completely inconsistent with the current sustainable development policy of net-zero carbon emissions.

Implementation Method

[0025] In order to enable the examiner to understand the technical features, content and advantages of this disclosure and the effects it can achieve, this disclosure is hereby described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and in the form of embodiments. The drawings used are only for illustration and auxiliary description purposes and may not be the actual scale and precise configuration after the implementation of this disclosure. Therefore, the scale and configuration relationship of the attached drawings should not be used to interpret or limit the scope of the rights of this disclosure in actual implementation.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3. Figure 1 is a perspective view of the mineral water production tank used in the mineral water production system of this embodiment. Figure 2 is another perspective view of the mineral water production tank used in the mineral water production system of this embodiment. Figure 3 is a block diagram of the mineral water production system of this embodiment. The temperature control device is omitted in Figures 1 and 2. The mineral water production system provided by this disclosure includes at least a mineral water production tank 1 and a grinding stone device 2. The mineral water production tank 1 includes at least a tank body 11, a stirring device 12, and a water intake valve 14. The tank body 11 has an internal accommodating space 111. The tank body 11 is used to receive reverse osmosis filtered boiled water (water formed by sequentially passing raw water through osmosis filtration and boiling, so there are almost no parasites or bacteria in the reverse osmosis filtered boiled water) and stone powder RP. The tank body 11 can be a square tank, a cylindrical tank, or a tank with a conical bottom, and this disclosure is not limited to these. In addition, stone powder RP is a powdery substance obtained by grinding one or more types of rocks. Without loss of generality, the particle size of stone powder RP is less than 1 cm. The grinding device 2 is set outside the mineral water production tank 1 and can be selectively connected to the feed valve 15 of the tank body 11. It is used to grind the rocks to produce stone powder RP for the tank body 11.

[0027] The stirring device 12 is disposed in the internal accommodating space 111 of the tank 11, and is used to stir the reverse osmosis filtered boiling water and stone powder RP in the internal accommodating space 111 for a first specific time to produce mineral water. The stirring device 12 typically has a drive motor 121, a stirring shaft 122, and at least one stirring blade 123. In this embodiment, the drive motor 121 is disposed at the top of the tank 11, the top end of the stirring shaft 122 is connected to the drive motor 121 and is located in the internal accommodating space 111, and at least one stirring blade 123 is sleeved on the stirring shaft 122. The drive motor 121 is driven to rotate the stirring shaft 122, thereby driving the stirring blade 123 to stir. The stirring blade 123 is designed to have holes on the left and right sides, which can reduce the resistance encountered during stirring and avoid the temperature rise of the mineral water caused by stirring resistance. In addition, the above-described implementation details of the stirring device 12 are only one embodiment of this disclosure and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0028] A water intake valve 14 is installed in the tank 11 and is used to open after the mineral water has been allowed to settle for a second specific period of time to remove the mineral water. Further, after the stirring device 12 stirs, as shown in Figure 2, the stone powder RP will be evenly distributed in the reverse osmosis filtered boiling water, and the stone powder RP and the reverse osmosis filtered boiling water will have a larger contact area, helping the minerals in the stone powder RP dissolve in the reverse osmosis filtered boiling water, thus resulting in a higher mineral dissolution rate in the produced mineral water. After stirring and allowing the mineral water to settle, as shown in Figure 3, the specific gravity of the stone powder RP is greater than that of water, therefore the stone powder RP will settle at the bottom of the internal accommodating space 111 of the tank 11.

[0029] Preferably, the water intake valve 14 is positioned higher than the bottom of the internal accommodating space 111, and there is a distance between the water intake valve 14 and the bottom of the internal accommodating space 111. The volume of the stone powder RP and the volume of the reverse osmosis filtered boiling water are X:Y, and the distance between the water intake valve 14 and the bottom of the internal accommodating space 111 is greater than [X / (X+Y)]*H, where H is the height of the internal accommodating space 111. In this way, in addition to facilitating the flow of mineral water through the water intake valve 14, it also prevents the stone powder RP that has settled at the bottom of the internal accommodating space 111 from escaping through the water intake valve 14 into the internal accommodating space 111. However, this disclosure is not limited to this, and the water intake valve 14 can also be positioned in the middle or at the top of the internal accommodating space 111, and a water pump can be used to draw the mineral water out of the internal accommodating space 111 through the water intake valve 14.

[0030] The mineral water production tank 1 further includes a temperature control device 13, which is connected to the tank body 11 and used to control the temperature of the mineral water to maintain it at a specific temperature. The temperature control device 13 can be a liquid temperature control system, which is configured to contact the tank body 11 to control the temperature of the mineral water through circulating cooling or warming liquid. The temperature control device 13 can also be a heating unit installed at the bottom of the internal accommodating space 111 and an air-cooled ventilation system installed at the top of the tank body 11, so that the temperature of the mineral water can be maintained at a specific temperature through the air-cooled ventilation system and the heating unit.

[0031] Please note that the first specific time for stirring by the stirring blade 123 is 1 to 30 minutes, and preferably 10 minutes; the second specific time for the mineral water to settle is 5 minutes to 48 hours, and preferably 24 hours; the water temperature of the mineral water is maintained at a specific temperature, which is 0 to 40 degrees Celsius, and the specific temperature is related to determining the proportion and concentration of minerals in the mineral water.

[0032] In addition, the mineral water produced by the mineral water production system disclosed herein is small molecule water. Small molecule water can dissolve more minerals and is more easily absorbed by cells through cell membranes. It also tastes slightly sweet. Therefore, the mineral water produced by the mineral water production system disclosed herein can better help human cells metabolize, and the mineral water produced by the mineral water production system disclosed herein will make tea or coffee taste better.

[0033] Furthermore, in this disclosed embodiment, the mineral water production tank 1 further includes a feed valve 15 and a water inlet valve 16. The feed valve 15 and the water inlet valve 16 are disposed on the tank body 11. For example, the feed valve 15 is disposed on the top of the tank body 11, and the water inlet valve 16 is disposed on one side of the tank body 11, close to the top of the tank body 11. This disclosure is not limited to the placement of the feed valve 15 and the water inlet valve 16. When the feed valve 15 is opened, the tank body 11 receives stone powder RP, and when the water inlet valve 16 is opened, the tank body 11 receives reverse osmosis filtered boiling water.

[0034] Furthermore, the mineral water production system further includes a reverse osmosis filtered boiling water supply device 3. Preferably, the rock is of a single type to facilitate effective control of mineral types. The rock is, for example, but not limited to, andesite, igneous rock, or sedimentary rock. Current data confirms that andesite mineral water has certain health benefits; therefore, preferably, the rock can be andesite. In addition, the reverse osmosis filtered boiling water supply device 3 is installed outside the mineral water production tank 1 and connected to the water inlet valve 16, and is used to perform reverse osmosis filtration and boiling on the raw water to produce reverse osmosis filtered boiling water.

[0035] The mineral water production tank further includes a bottom valve 18, which is located at the bottom of the tank body 11. When the bottom valve 18 is opened, the stone powder RP and the remaining mineral water in the internal containment space 111 can be discharged. In order to maintain the quality of the mineral water, the stone powder RP and the remaining mineral water in the internal containment space 111 are usually discharged after two extractions.

[0036] Furthermore, the mineral water production system further includes a controller 4, which is electrically connected to the mineral water production tank 1, the grinding device 2, and the reverse osmosis filtered boiling water supply device 3. Further, the stirring device 12, temperature control device 13, water intake valve, feed valve 15, water inlet valve 16, and tank bottom valve 18 are all electrically connected to the controller 4. The controller 4 is used to control the stirring device 12, temperature control device 13, water intake valve, feed valve 15, water inlet valve 16, tank bottom valve 18, grinding device 2, and reverse osmosis filtered boiling water supply device 3. The controller 4 can be used to record the number of water intakes (and the number of times mineral water is extracted). When the number of water intakes exceeds a certain number, the tank bottom valve 18 is opened to discharge the stone powder and remaining mineral water from the internal containment space. In addition, the mineral water production system further includes a sedimentation tank 5, which is located outside the mineral water production tank 1 and is used to receive the mineral water taken from the tank 11.

[0037] Furthermore, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 5. Figure 5 is an overall schematic diagram of the grinding device according to this embodiment. The grinding device 2 includes a coarse crusher 201, a first fan 202, a first feed trough 203, a conveyor 204, a grinder 205, a second fan 206, a second feed trough 207, a cyclone separator 208, and a dust collection trough 209. The coarse crusher 201 receives rocks and coarsely crushes them. The first fan 202 connects the coarse crusher 201 and the first feed trough 203, and is used to send the coarsely crushed rocks to the first feed trough 203. The conveyor 204 is correspondingly disposed below the discharge port of the first feed trough 203, and is used to transport the coarsely crushed rocks. The feed port of the grinder 205 is correspondingly disposed below the discharge port of the conveyor 204, and is used to receive the coarsely crushed rocks and grind them to produce stone powder RP. The second fan 206 connects the grinder 205 and the second feed trough 207, and is used to feed the stone powder RP to the second feed trough 207. The cyclone separator 208 connects the top of the second feed trough 207 to the dust collection trough 209, and the dust collection trough 209 is used to collect the stone powder RP separated by the cyclone separator 208 using wind power.

[0038] Optionally, the grinding device further includes a cleaning device and a sterilization device. The cleaning device is located outside the coarse crusher 201 and is used to clean the rock. The coarse crusher 201 is used to coarsely crush the cleaned rock. The sterilization device is located outside the dust collection tank 209 and is used to sterilize the stone powder RP output from the dust collection tank 209 with ultraviolet light.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4. Figure 4 is a schematic flowchart of the mineral water production method according to an embodiment of this disclosure. The mineral water production method in Figure 4 is implemented in the mineral water production system shown in Figures 1 to 3. First, in step S41, the controller 4 controls the reverse osmosis filtered boiling water supply device 3 to perform reverse osmosis filtration on raw water to produce reverse osmosis filtered water. Then, in step S42, the controller 4 controls the reverse osmosis filtered boiling water supply device 3 to boil the reverse osmosis filtered water to produce reverse osmosis filtered boiled water. In step S43, the controller 4 controls the grinding device 2 to grind the rock to produce stone powder, wherein the rock is preferably a single type of rock. In addition, step S43 can be performed in parallel with steps S41 and S42, or step S43 is not limited to being performed before or after steps S41 and S42.

[0040] Subsequently, in step S44, the feed valve 15 and the water inlet valve 16 are opened by the controller 4 to mix the reverse osmosis filtered boiling water and stone powder RP in the internal containment space 111 of the tank 11. Then, in step S45, the controller 4 controls the stirring device 12 to stir the reverse osmosis filtered boiling water and stone powder RP in the internal containment space 111 for a first specific time to produce mineral water. Then, in step S46, the mineral water is allowed to settle for a second specific time, and the controller 4 controls the temperature control device 13 to maintain the water temperature of the mineral water at a specific temperature. In step S47, after the mineral water has settled for a second specific time, the controller 4 controls the water intake valve 14 to open to draw mineral water from the internal containment space 111 of the tank 11. Subsequently, if the number of times the water-drawing valve 14 is opened exceeds a certain number (that is, the number of times mineral water is extracted exceeds a certain number), then in step S48, the controller 4 controls the bottom valve 18 to open, so as to discharge the stone powder RP and the remaining mineral water in the internal accommodating space 111.

[0041] Specifically, the mineral water production system and method disclosed in this embodiment can ensure that the produced mineral water has a certain degree of mineral dissolution, and that this mineral water is produced by dissolving minerals in water that has been purified by percolation and boiling, thus ensuring the safety of the mineral water for consumption. On the other hand, compared with the previous practice of transporting mineral water from the mountain to the foot of the mountain, the mineral water production system and method disclosed in this embodiment can effectively reduce the cost and time required for manpower and transportation, and can comply with the current sustainable development policy of net-zero carbon emissions.

[0042] In summary, it is evident that this disclosure has indeed achieved the desired improved effect by breaking through the previous technology, and it is not something that those familiar with the technology can easily think of. Furthermore, this disclosure has not been published before the application, and its progressiveness and practicality clearly meet the requirements for patent application.
