Portable bubble water bottle and control valve thereof
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional bubble water bottles pose safety risks due to exposed high-pressure gas cylinders and inefficient gas-liquid mixing, with gas bottles potentially detaching and causing accidents, and poor gas dissolving effects due to upward gas introduction.
Innovation Solution
A portable bubble water bottle design with a gas supply device opening at the bottom of the liquid storage space, incorporating a control valve with adjustable path selection and a gas cylinder positioned within a tank to enhance safety and mixing efficiency, where the control valve outlet connects to the bottom of the liquid storage space for improved gas dissolution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the gas bottle is exposed outside the bubble water bottle for easy access, then the ease of operation is improved, but the safety is worsened due to potential detachment and high-pressure gas jetting
Solution Approach 1:
The gas bottle is nested inside the liquid storage space of the bubble water bottle, with its opening facing downward. This nested configuration protects the gas bottle from external impacts and prevents detachment, while still allowing gas to be supplied to the liquid through the controlled opening position.
2Device complexity
If the gas-guide tube is extended into the central of the cup for conventional gas supply, then the device complexity is reduced, but the gas dissolving effect is worsened due to poor mixing efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of extending the gas supply opening upward into the liquid, the gas bottle opening is positioned at the bottom of the liquid storage space, facing downward. This inverted configuration allows gas to rise through the liquid from below, creating better mixing and dissolution efficiency while maintaining simple device structure.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The design significantly increases gas dissolution in liquid, enhances user safety by protecting the gas cylinder, and allows for multiple uses of a single gas cylinder, enabling customizable gas-liquid mixing and reducing gas escape, making the product more convenient and efficient.
Implementation Method 1
mix carbon dioxide gas in the gas bottle 54 with water in the cup 52
Implementation Method 2
the bubbles are subject to upward buoyancy in the liquid

AI summary
A portable bubble water bottle includes a shell, a separation tank, a bottom cover, and a gas supply device. A liquid storage space and a gas supply space are individually defined on the upper and the lower sides of the separation tank. A hole is defined on the separation tank to connect the liquid storage space and the gas supply space. The gas supply device includes a gas cylinder and a control valve in the gas supply space. The opening of the gas cylinder is toward the bottom. The gas is transferred from the gas cylinder, through the control valve and the hole of the separation tank, to the liquid storage space. The invention has the advantages of increasing the dissolved gas in liquid, great safety in use, easy operation, reducing the gas escape rate, and customization in use.
