Description

A portable, detachable, and washable sparkling water machine Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sparkling water machine technology, and in particular to a portable, detachable, and washable sparkling water machine. Background Technology

[0002] A sparkling water machine, as the name suggests, is a machine used to make sparkling water and belongs to the home appliance industry. In daily life, it is used to quickly make sparkling water. Its working principle is: compressed carbon dioxide in a gas cylinder (bubble cartridge) is forced into the water under high pressure, causing the water to become saturated with carbon dioxide and produce carbon dioxide bubbles, thus forming the corresponding sparkling water. Technical issues

[0003] Currently, existing sparkling water machines generally only inject bubbles into purified water before mixing it with other ingredients such as fruit juice. This method can easily cause the gas in the sparkling water to be lost during mixing, resulting in a poorer taste. The reason why fruit juice cannot be directly injected as the source of the bubbles is that existing portable sparkling water machines mainly consist of a tank and a lid. The lid has a port for inserting the gas cylinder and an air pump tube for introducing high-pressure gas released from the cylinder. The air pump tube cannot be disassembled. If high-pressure gas is directly injected into the fruit juice, the juice and fruit particles will splatter everywhere, requiring immediate cleaning after each use. Furthermore, because it cannot be disassembled, it is easy to leave unclean surfaces, leading to bacterial growth. Therefore, purified water is chosen to produce sparkling water, even at the cost of a slightly less pleasant taste. Technical solutions

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a portable, detachable, and washable sparkling water machine.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A portable, detachable, and washable sparkling water machine includes a tank, a lid, an air pump tube, and a pin. The upper end of the lid has a gas cylinder insertion port, and the lower end has a mating port. The upper end of the air pump tube has a mating port for connecting with a gas cylinder, and the mating port has a built-in push-button inflation valve. The middle part of the air pump tube has a cover plate and an annular groove, and the lower end of the air pump tube has an air outlet pipe. The lid is closed onto the tank, and the air pump tube is inserted from the mating port, placing the mating port at the gas cylinder insertion port. The air outlet pipe is placed inside the tank, and the cover plate is abutted against the bottle opening of the tank. The lid has a pin hole at the corresponding position of the annular groove, and the pin is inserted into the pin hole and abuts against the annular groove, preventing the air pump tube from being pulled out of the lid.

[0007] Preferably, the outside of the pin is provided with a clamping piece, the clamping piece is arc-shaped, and the arc of the clamping piece corresponds to the arc of the outer end face of the cover.

[0008] Preferably, the outer surfaces at both ends of the clamping piece are provided with anti-slip textures.

[0023] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, this embodiment provides a portable, detachable, and washable sparkling water machine, including a tank 1, a cover 2, an air pump pipe 3, and a latch 4. The upper end of the cover 2 has a gas cylinder insertion port 21, and the lower end has a mating port 22. The upper end of the air pump pipe 3 has a mating port 31 for connecting with a gas cylinder, and the mating port 31 has a built-in push-button inflation valve 32. The middle part of the air pump pipe 3 has a cover plate 33 and an annular groove 34, and the lower end of the air pump pipe 3 has an air outlet pipe 35. The cover 33 is fitted onto the tank 1, specifically by being locked with threads. The air pump pipe 3 is inserted from the fitting port 22, so that the fitting port 31 is placed at the gas cylinder insertion port 21. The air outlet pipe 35 is placed inside the tank 1. A high-pressure nozzle 36 is provided at the lower end of the air outlet pipe 35. The cover plate 33 is abutted against the bottle mouth of the tank 1. The cover 2 is provided with a pin hole 23 at the corresponding position of the annular groove 34. The pin plate 4 is inserted into the pin hole 23 and touches the annular groove 34, so that the air pump pipe 3 cannot be pulled out from the cover 2.

[0024] This embodiment mainly adopts a separate design between the air pump tube 3 and the cover 2, allowing the air pump tube 2 to be detached. This allows the air pump tube 3 to be directly removed for cleaning, ensuring the effectiveness of cleaning. Even when used for making sparkling water with juice, there is no need to worry about incomplete cleaning. At the same time, the pin-type assembly limit allows consumers to quickly complete the disassembly and assembly, making the operation very convenient.

[0025] To make sparkling water, simply place suitable purified water or juice into the container, keep the air pump tube 3 and the lid 2 in the assembled state, and then rotate and lock the lid 2 onto the container 1. The lid 33 and the bottle mouth of the container 1 should fit together to achieve the sealing effect. The air outlet tube 35 of the air pump tube 3 extends into the bottom of the container 1 and comes into contact with the purified water or juice. After installation, select a gas cylinder containing high-pressure carbon dioxide, with the bottle mouth facing down, and insert it into the gas cylinder insertion port 21, ensuring that the bottle mouth and the insertion port 31 are aligned. Then, press the gas cylinder to connect the gas cylinder and the press-type inflation valve 32 with the inside of the gas cylinder, thereby releasing high-pressure carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide gas is then introduced into the container 1 along the air pump tube 3 and fully mixed with the purified water or juice to form sparkling water. It should be noted that the press-type inflation valve 32 will be adjusted accordingly depending on the method of venting from the gas cylinder opening, mainly based on the specifications of the gas cylinder. Therefore, the specific structure of the press-type inflation valve 32 in this embodiment is not limited.

[0026] When it is necessary to disassemble the air pump tube 3, simply remove the pin 4 to release the air pump tube 3 from its limiting function, and the air pump tube 3 can be quickly disassembled. To facilitate the user's insertion and removal of the pin 4, the pin 4 in this embodiment is provided with a clamping piece 41 on its outside. The clamping piece 41 is arc-shaped, and the arc of the clamping piece 4 corresponds to the arc of the outer end face of the cover 2. After the pin 4 is inserted into the pin hole 23, the clamping piece 41 just fits with the outer surface of the cover 2. The presence of the clamping piece 41 greatly increases the area available for the user to grip, allowing the user to apply force more effectively. In order to prevent slippage, anti-slip textures 42 are provided on the outer surfaces of both ends of the clamping piece 41. Embodiments of the present invention

[0027] Furthermore, to prevent excessive high-pressure gas from being blown in and causing a pipe burst, the lower end face of the cover plate 33 in this embodiment is provided with an exhaust groove 37. One end of the exhaust groove 37 is located on the side of the cover plate 33. The fitting port 22 and the pin port 23 are connected, and the cover body 2 forms a gap 100 at the pin port 23 for venting gas outward. In this way, after high-pressure carbon dioxide is blown in, a small amount of gas can also be vented outward at the same time, avoiding excessive internal pressure and potential danger.

[0028] Furthermore, since this embodiment satisfies the requirements for manufacturing other mixed beverages such as fruit juice, a filter basket 11 is provided inside the tank 1 of this embodiment to serve as a filter. The filter basket 11 is provided with a clearance cavity 12 for avoiding the air outlet pipe 35, so that residues can be initially filtered out when making sparkling water.

[0029] Furthermore, regarding the pressing of the gas cylinder, a pressing block 5 is detachably installed at the port of the cover 2 located at the gas cylinder insertion port 21. Specifically, the pressing block 5 is installed at the gas cylinder insertion port via a sliding groove 51 and a slider 52, and the pressing block 5 is made of soft rubber. Thus, after the gas cylinder is inserted, the pressing block 5 is pushed in horizontally, and then pressed down to deform the pressing block 5, thereby pressing down on the gas cylinder. Industrial applicability

[0030] The air pump tube is designed to be separate from the cap, allowing the air pump tube to be detached for easy cleaning, ensuring effective cleaning. Even when used for making sparkling water with juice, there is no need to worry about incomplete cleaning. At the same time, the pin-type assembly limit allows consumers to quickly complete the disassembly and assembly, making it very convenient to operate. Sequence List Free Content
