Description

Carbonator

The present invention relates to generate the carbonator of carbonated water.

In the carbonated water producing device of various automatic vending machines, usually as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 (open clear 62-199124 communique in fact), directly in closed cell, generate carbonated water by water under high pressure and carbonic acid gas by (operating) water nozzle 102 and gas nozzle 103 ejections referring to Japan.

Disclosed in above-mentioned communique water under high pressure and carbonic acid gas are directly mixed the method that generates carbonated water, also have method described below.

This method is on the top of carbonator casing a cup to be installed, and when being full of the carbonic acid gas of certain pressure in the casing, sprays water outlet from the cup on casing top, water and carbonic acid gas mixing manufacture carbonated water.

If the employing said method, when water when cup sprays, the sizable water of spray power overflows from cup top, can make the water that does not have fully to absorb carbonic acid gas flow to the bottom of casing, therefore the carbonated water mouthfeel of making is bad.

The objective of the invention is to overcome above-mentioned shortcoming and a kind of suitable carbonator that can make the delicious carbonated beverage of production that carbonic acid gas fully dissolves is provided.

The invention provides a kind of being used for mixes carbonic acid gas generating the carbonator of carbonated water with the water of forced feed, comprising: be located at the upper container in the carbonator casing; The end face that is located at the carbonator casing is in order to import carbonic acid gas the carbonic acid gas introduction part in the carbonator casing; The end face that passes the carbonator casing will be in order to will spray or the water of spurting imports water introduction part in the described container; The carbonated water flow that is located on the described container is portalled, in order to being accumulated in the carbonated water of carbonator lower box by this tap hole outflow to the outside discharge pipe of deriving of carbonator casing; Described container constitutes semi-hermetic type.

Semi-hermetic type container in being located at the carbonator casing in a new way supplies water.Water is injected with atomized spray and sizable spray power, and mix with the carbonic acid gas that is full of container, water circulates in airtight basically container, but does not outwards overflow, thereby can form the carbonated water of abundant dissolving.

The carbonated water of generation flows out from the tap hole on the container side, in the casing of income carbonating assembling device, after stopping to supply water, remains in the tap hole outflow of the interior carbonated water of container from container bottom.

Fig. 1 is the profilograph of carbonator of the present invention.

Fig. 2 is arranged on the side view of the cup of carbonator inside.

Fig. 3 is the quantity in hole on the cup side and the side view of the another kind of cup that arrangement changes to some extent.

Fig. 4 is the profilograph of another carbonator embodiment.

Fig. 5 is the profilograph of another carbonator embodiment.

Fig. 6, Fig. 7 are the profilographs of existing carbonator.

Embodiments of the invention are described with reference to the accompanying drawings.Fig. 1 represents the carbonator as the carbonated water producing device.Among the figure, 1 is the casing (hereinafter to be referred as casing) of carbonator.In casing 1, be provided with the carbonic acid gas inlet 2 that in casing 1, injects carbonic acid gas (carbon dioxide) and gases such as the air of casing 1 and the nitrogen in the case, oxygen discharged the safety valve 3 of casing 1.Also be provided with the siphon pipe 4 that extends upward and provide the carbonated water A that has made in the casing 1 from the bottom of casing 1, and the level sensor that is used to detect carbonated water A water level in the casing 1.The 6th, feed pipe, the central part that it passes case 1 upper side 1a extends in the casing 1, and its front end forms the nozzle segment 7 of band spray nozzle spray orifice, so that water is vaporific ejection.The 8th, the semi-hermetic type container, the central part of the upper side 10 of container 8 forms the hole 9 that feed pipe 6 is inserted, the diameter in hole 9 is greater than the diameter of feed pipe 6, so that make carbonic acid gas be full of container 8 by their gap, container 8 is the hang supporting by the

fixing support foot

11,11 of case 1 inside upper part.Above-mentioned hole 9 and feed pipe 6 constitute the lead-in portion of water.And as shown in Figures 2 and 3, on the sidewall of container 8, also form the tap hole 12 that a plurality of carbonated waters that are used for making container 8 to generate flow out.Substantially be positioned at the position of central authorities on container 8 downsides, also be provided with similar tap hole 13, the carbonated water that remains in the container can flow out from this tap hole.

If the nozzle segment 7 of feed pipe 6 is located at the center position of container 8, can make water and mixing of carbonic acid gas obtain optimum efficiency.

Above-mentioned structure constitutes, and by the carbonic acid gas of carbonic acid gas inlet 2 injection certain pressure in casing 1, makes the carbonic acid gas that remains in the casing 1 outside safety valve 3 drains into casing 1.Supply water by feed pipe 6 then.Water is by having front end nozzle segment 7 ejection that nebulizes of spraying aperture.And mix with the carbonic acid gas that is full of in the container 8.At this moment, container 8 is different with the cup of past top opening.It is the container that a top is air-tight state basically, circulates in container 8 at the container 8 inner water that spray, and these are different with the water overflow container 8 outer modes of mixing with carbonic acid gas of utilizing big spray power in the past.

When the carbonated water that generates as stated above reached a certain amount of in container 8, just the tap hole 12 from container side flowed out, and in the income casing 1.When the carbonated water A that has made in the casing 1 arrives certain water level, provide testing result by level sensor 5, and stop to supply water.Remain in carbonated water that water levels in the container 8 are lower than tap hole and flow in the casing 1, thus carbonated water A is all taken in the casing 1 from the tap hole 13 of cup bottom.

Can make the carbonated water of providing higher air content thus.Carbonated water A in the casing 1 can utilize siphon pipe 4 to take out.As shown in Figure 4, feed pipe 6 is stretched to container 8 inside, but the hole 9 of container 8 upper sides is positioned on the correspondence position with nozzle segment 7, the short feed pipe 6 of length preferably is set at casing 1 upper side 1a place.In this case and since container 8 just thereon side have hole 9, can think to be in the semi-hermetic state substantially, thus water can overflow container 8 outside, the carbonic acid G﹠W can fully mixedly get carbonated water container 8 in.Like this, the short feed pipe 6 of hole 9A and length has constituted the water lead-in portion jointly.

And as shown in Figure 5, also can be without support foot, and directly container 8 is installed on the upper side of casing 1.

For this situation, hole 15 can be set, when containing more nitrogen and oxygen in the convenient container 8 inner and upper carbonic acid gas-bearing formations, these gases are outwards escaped in the casing 1.These gases in hole 15 enters casing 1 can be discharged outside the casing 1 by manually operated safety valve 3.

When using the invention described above, owing to adopted the semi-hermetic type container conduct container of portion's mixed carbonic acid G﹠W within it, thereby the water that sprays in the container with bigger spray power can not overflowed, produce the higher delicious carbonated water of air content so can fully mix with carbonic acid gas.Formed a kind of simple carbonator of apparatus structure that makes thus.
