Description

  The present invention relates to a bubble generating device.

  Conventionally, as this type of bubble generating device, for example, a device using a fine bubble generating nozzle provided with a decompression plate and a net is used to generate a fine bubble by depressurizing a liquid in which a gas is dissolved under pressure. (See Patent Document 1).

  FIG. 9 shows a conventional bubble generating apparatus described in the above document. In FIG. 9, a decompression plate 3 provided with holes 2 and a net 4 are provided downstream thereof in the inside of the fine bubble generating nozzle 1. Then, the air that has been sucked in air is pressurized to a high pressure with a high-pressure pump (not shown) or the like, and the water stream collides with the net 4 from the hole 2 and the decompression plate 3, so that the air that has been rapidly decompressed and dissolved in the water is Separates into fine bubbles.

  As another conventional fine bubble generating device, for example, a fine bubble generating nozzle provided with a relief valve is used to open the relief valve when the internal pressure when the liquid passes reaches a predetermined pressure. There was one in which fine bubbles were generated (see Patent Document 2).

In FIG. 10, in order to reduce the pressure of the gas dissolved under pressure and generate fine bubbles, a valve body 7 that opens and closes by the pressure inside the discharge pipe 6 of the fine bubble generation nozzle 5 and the valve body 7 are attached. A relief valve 9 composed of a spring 8 is provided. When the internal pressure when the liquid passes through the discharge pipe 6 reaches a predetermined pressure, the relief valve 9 is opened and fine bubbles are generated.

  However, in the configuration of Patent Document 1, a water flow collides with the net from the hole of the decompression plate 3, so that dust accumulates on the net and the ability to generate fine bubbles gradually decreases.

  Further, in the configuration of Patent Document 2, fine bubbles are generated in the clearance between the relief valve 9 and the discharge pipe 6, but the flow of water flowing in the discharge pipe 6 causes the inside of the discharge pipe 6 to There was a problem that the gap with the valve body 7 was not kept constant and fine bubbles were not generated stably.

  The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bubble generating device capable of ensuring the performance that dust does not accumulate and stably generates a large amount of fine bubbles over a long period of time.

  In order to solve the above-described conventional problems, the bubble generating device of the present invention has an inflow opening opened in a container having a hollow portion, a pressurized liquid introduction pipe connected to the inflow opening, and an opening in the container. It is equipped with a gas-liquid jet hole, which introduces a liquid in which gas is pressurized and dissolved into the inlet and turns it into a swirling flow inside the container to eject it from the gas-liquid jet hole so that bubbles can be generated. .

  As a result, when a liquid in which gas is dissolved under pressure is introduced from the inlet and a swirling flow is generated in the vessel, the swirling outer peripheral portion is high pressure and the central portion is low pressure, so that it is introduced near the swirling center. A reduced pressure is generated in a part of the pressurized liquid so that the dissolved gas is separated and converges at the center of rotation to form a gas axis. When the swirling flow in the container having the gas axis is ejected from the gas-liquid ejection hole, the gas axis is sheared into fine bubbles, and the ejected liquid is depressurized by the ejection resistance, and the dissolved gas is generated using the fine bubbles as a nucleus. It can separate and generate a lot of fine bubbles.

  The bubble generating apparatus of the present invention does not make the fine bubble generating part a fine orifice shape or a net, so that it is possible to achieve both reliable generation of fine bubbles and prevention of stagnation of dust.

  1st invention is equipped with the container which has a hollow part, the inflow port opened to the container body, the pressurized liquid inlet tube connected to an inflow port, and the gas-liquid ejection hole opened to the container body, and gas By introducing the pressurized and dissolved liquid into the inlet and turning it into a swirling flow through the gas-liquid jet hole, the pressure is dissolved and the gas is pressurized and dissolved. If the liquid is introduced from the inlet and a swirling flow is generated in the vessel, the swirling outer peripheral portion becomes high pressure and the central portion becomes low pressure, so that the pressure of the introduced pressurized liquid is reduced in the vicinity of the swirling center. As a result, the dissolved gas is separated, and the separated gas converges on the center of rotation due to the difference in specific gravity between the gas and the liquid, thereby forming a thin string-like gas shaft. When the swirling flow in the container having the gas axis is ejected from the gas-liquid ejection hole, the gas axis is sheared into fine bubbles, and the ejected liquid is depressurized by the ejection resistance, and the dissolved gas is generated using the fine bubbles as a nucleus. It can separate and generate a lot of fine bubbles. As described above, since the fine bubble generating portion is not made of a fine orifice shape or a net, it is possible to achieve both the reliable generation of fine bubbles and the prevention of stagnation of dust.

  In the second invention, in particular, the hollow portion of the vessel body of the first invention is formed in a substantially rotationally symmetric manner, and the inflow port is configured to open in a tangential direction to the peripheral wall portion of the vessel body. By introducing pressurized liquid into the hollow part from the inlet opening in the tangential direction of the peripheral wall part, it becomes possible to generate a strong swirling flow in the body, so the formation of the gas shaft by decompression near the swirling center In addition, it is possible to promote generation of fine bubbles as a core and reliably generate a large amount of fine bubbles by vacuum separation without a fine flow path causing dust adhesion.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in particular, by providing a plurality of inflow ports opened in a tangential direction to the peripheral wall portion of the container body of the second invention at predetermined intervals on the circumference of the peripheral wall portion of the container body, A plurality of inlets are provided on the same circumference of the swirl flow, and the swirl is promoted from a plurality of locations in the same rotation direction, so that a strong and stable swirl flow can be generated, and the liquid near the swirl center can be depressurized. The formation of the gas axis at the center of rotation by the dissolved gas separation can be ensured, and a large amount of fine bubbles can be generated more reliably.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in particular, the inner hollow portion of the cylindrical vessel body is configured so that both end portions of the rotational symmetry axis are formed by forming the vessel body of any one of the first to third inventions into a substantially hollow cylindrical shape. It becomes a substantially planar cylindrical space perpendicular to the axis, and liquid flows in tangentially from the circumference of this cylindrical space, so that there is almost no flow velocity component in the swirl axis direction disturbing the swirl flow, and perpendicular to the swivel axis. As a result, it is possible to produce only a swirling flow velocity component, so that a strong and stable swirling flow can be generated, and the formation of a gas axis at the swirling center is ensured by depressurization of liquid near the swirling center and separation of dissolved gas. Can be realized more reliably.

  The fifth aspect of the invention is a dissolved gas, in particular, by providing a collision part on the outside of the container of any one of the first to fourth aspects of the present invention, where the jet flow collides with a gas-liquid jet hole at a predetermined interval. Since the liquid containing the gas exits the gas-liquid jet holes and generates fine bubbles due to sudden decompression, this jet flow vigorously collides with the collision part, so that more fine bubbles are generated, so that dust adheres. Both prevention and generation of a large amount of fine bubbles can be realized.

  According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, an impeller having a blade near the peripheral wall of the hollow portion of the container and having a swirling axis as a rotation axis is provided in the container of any one of the first to third aspects of the invention. With this configuration, the blades in the peripheral wall of the hollow portion are subjected to a tangential force by the liquid flow introduced from the inlet, and the impeller rotates together with the swirling flow, and is disturbed by the flow velocity component in the swirling axis direction. The swirl flow can be stabilized by preventing the influence of etc., and the formation of the gas axis at the swivel center by the decompression of the liquid near the swivel center and the separation of dissolved gas is ensured, and the generation of a large amount of fine bubbles is more reliably realized. be able to.

  In the seventh invention, in particular, the gas-liquid ejection hole of any one of the first to third inventions is opened at one of both ends of the swirling shaft of the swirling flow, and the vessel body has a cross-sectional area facing the gas-liquid ejection hole. By reducing the taper shape, the swirl radius of the liquid swirl becomes smaller as the gas-liquid jet hole approaches, and the flow path becomes narrower. Therefore, the flow velocity is increased and the flow resistance is increased to increase the pressure. The generation of fine bubbles is promoted by an increase in the shearing force of the gas shaft accompanying the increase in speed and an increase in the pressure difference before and after the gas-liquid ejection hole. In addition, in order to circulate the liquid against the increase in the flow resistance in the body, the liquid introduction pressure is increased, and the amount of dissolved gas increases because the pressure increases. As a result, the generation of dust and the generation of a large amount of fine bubbles can be realized.

  In the eighth aspect of the invention, in particular, the gas-liquid ejection hole according to any one of the first to third aspects of the invention is opened at one of both ends of the rotational symmetry axis of the body hollow portion, and the inlet of the body is defined as the rotational symmetry axis. By providing the gas-liquid jet hole side with respect to the axial length center, a sufficient distance is provided from the inlet to the other end of the symmetry axis of the vessel body. The swirling flow can be grown and promoted toward the other end without being immediately directed to the liquid ejection hole, so the swirling flow is stable, and the gas axis at the swirling center is formed by depressurizing the liquid near the swirling center and separating dissolved gas. And a large amount of fine bubbles can be generated more reliably.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the conventional example and each embodiment, parts having the same configuration and the same operation are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a schematic circuit configuration diagram of a bubble generation device according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a fine bubble generation unit of the bubble generation device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the fine bubble generating portion. 1 to 3, water W as a liquid is stored in the water tank 11, and a suction port 12 and a discharge port 13 are formed on the side wall of the water tank 11. A pump 15 is connected to the suction port 12 via a suction conduit 14, and an air suction port 16 for sucking air as gas is connected to the suction conduit 14 side of the pump 15. In addition, a dissolution tank 17 is disposed on the downstream side of the pump 15, and the pump 15 and the dissolution tank 17 are communicated with each other by a connection pipe 18. The discharge port 13 of the water tank 11 is provided with a fine bubble generation unit 19, and the dissolution tank 17 and the fine bubble generation unit 19 are communicated with each other by a discharge pipe 20.

  Next, in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the fine bubble generating unit 19 includes a vessel body 22 having a rotationally symmetric hollow portion 21 formed in a substantially elliptical sphere shape, and a rotationally symmetric axis provided on the peripheral wall of the vessel body 22. The inlet 23 is opened in a tangential direction with a circular cross section perpendicular to the pressure line, and the pressurized liquid introduction pipe 24 communicates with the discharge pipe 20. Opened gas-liquid ejection holes 25 are provided, and a circular baffle plate 26 that is a collision portion is disposed outside the two gas-liquid ejection holes 25. The baffle plate 26 is attached to each of the two gas-liquid jet holes 25 with predetermined intervals by four support columns 27 extending from the vessel body 22.

  The operation and action of the above configuration will be described. 1 to 3, when the pump 15 is operated, a suction force of the pump is generated, and the water W in the water tank 11 is sucked from the suction port 12 and the air is sucked from the air suction port 16. Air is sucked into the pump 15 via the pipe line 14, and air is pressurized and dissolved in the water W in a high-pressure portion from the pump 15 through the connection pipe line 18 to the dissolution tank 17. Then, the air that could not be dissolved in the dissolution tank 17 is separated as excess air, and the water W containing the dissolved air becomes mixed water and is transported to the fine bubble generator 19 through the discharge pipe 20. The mixed water that has entered the hollow portion 21 of the vessel body 22 through the inlet 23 through the pressurized liquid introduction pipe 24 connected from the discharge pipe 20 flows in from the tangential direction of the inner peripheral wall. Turn.

  Due to the swirling motion of the water flow, a pressure difference is produced between the outer periphery and the center of the swirl, and the larger the swirl speed, the greater the pressure difference between the outer periphery and the center. Therefore, in the vicinity of the swirling center, a part of the introduced mixed water is decompressed and the dissolved gas is separated, and this separation is caused by the specific gravity difference between the gas and the liquid at the rotational axis of the vessel 22 which is the swirling center. The converged gas converges to form a thin string-like gas shaft 28.

  The mixed water in the hollow portion 21 has a tapered shape in which the cross-sectional area decreases as it approaches the two gas-liquid jet holes 25 while turning, so the turning radius becomes smaller and the flow path becomes narrower. In the vicinity of the hole 25, the turning speed and pressure become maximum, and the water on the outside side and the outlet of the gas-liquid jet hole 25 are pressed against each other. The air collected on the gas shaft 28 is compressed and sheared at the boundary surface or boundary region between the external water and the swirling mixed water, and is externally discharged from the two gas-liquid jet holes 25 as a fluid containing fine bubbles. Spouted into the water. Since the jetted fluid is decompressed by the jetting resistance and can use the aforementioned fine bubbles as a nucleus, the dissolved gas can be separated and a large amount of fine bubbles can be generated. As described above, since the fine bubble generating portion is not made of a fine orifice shape or a net, it is possible to achieve both the reliable generation of fine bubbles and the prevention of stagnation of dust.

  In addition, by introducing a pressurized liquid in the tangential direction of the peripheral wall portion of the hollow body, it is possible to generate a strong swirling flow in the hollow body, so that the formation of the gas shaft by decompression near the swirling center and the nucleus The generation of microbubbles can be promoted, and a large amount of microbubbles can be reliably generated by vacuum separation without a microchannel causing dust adhesion.

  In this embodiment, the inlet 23 connected to the pressurized liquid introduction pipe 24 is provided in a tangential direction on the peripheral wall of the container body 22, but the velocity component is applied in the rotational symmetry axis direction of the container body 22. Even if the inlet 23 is inclined to have an opening, a gas axis is generated on the rotationally symmetric axis as long as the inflow speed of the mixed water is sufficiently high. Is obtained.

  Then, the hollow portion 21 in the container 22 is tapered toward the gas-liquid jet hole 25, so that the flow velocity is increased and the flow resistance is increased to increase the pressure. The generation of fine bubbles is promoted by the increase in the shearing force and the increase in the pressure difference before and after the gas-liquid ejection hole. Further, in order to circulate the liquid against the increase in the flow path resistance in the vessel body 22, the operating pressure of the pump 15 is increased to increase the liquid introduction pressure. This also increases the amount of generation of fine bubbles, which makes it possible to achieve both dust prevention and reliable generation of a large amount of fine bubbles.

  In addition, even after the liquid containing dissolved gas has generated fine bubbles due to sudden decompression immediately after exiting the gas-liquid jet holes, the jet flow further vigorously collides with the collision part downstream so that the fine bubbles and their nuclei As a result, more fine bubbles are generated, so that it is possible to realize both prevention of dust adhesion and generation of a large amount of fine bubbles.

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a fine bubble generating portion of the bubble generating apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the fine bubble generating portion. In addition, the thing of the same structure as the bubble generator of 1st Embodiment gives the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits description. 4 to 5, the difference from the configuration of the first embodiment is that in the vessel 30 having the hollow portion 29 formed in a shape in which a cylinder is connected to the hemisphere, the hemisphere having a rotational symmetry axis of the hollow portion 29. At the end portion on the side, a gas-liquid ejection hole 31 in which a baffle plate 26 is disposed outside is provided.

  The operation and action of the above configuration will be described. When the pump is operated in the bubble generator of the embodiment shown in the figure, the sucked air is pressurized and dissolved in the water W to become mixed water, and is conveyed to the fine bubble generator 19. The air-mixed water that has entered the hollow portion 29 of the container body 30 from the inlet 23 through the pressurized liquid introduction pipe 24 flows in from the tangential direction of the inner peripheral wall, and thus swirls along the peripheral wall of the hollow portion 29. The swirling motion of this water flow causes a pressure difference between the swirling outer periphery and the central portion, and the swirling outer periphery is at a high pressure and the center is at a low pressure. As a result, the dissolved gas is separated, and a gas shaft 28 is formed on the rotationally symmetric shaft portion of the vessel 30 serving as the center of rotation. Since the mixed water in the hollow portion 29 has a tapered shape in which the cross-sectional area decreases as it approaches the gas-liquid ejection hole 31 while turning, the turning radius becomes smaller and the flow path becomes narrower. The swirl speed and pressure are maximized in the vicinity, and by increasing the shearing force of the gas shaft 28 accompanying the increase in speed and increasing the pressure difference before and after the gas-liquid ejection holes 31, fine bubbles with sheared gas shafts are generated, The generation of fine bubbles that cannot be completely dissolved and precipitate due to the difference is promoted.

  In this way, it is possible to promote generation of micro bubbles as a core and reliably generate a large amount of micro bubbles by decompression separation without a micro flow path causing dust adhesion. In addition, the liquid introduction pressure, that is, the pump operating pressure is increased in order to circulate the liquid against the increase in the flow path resistance in the body, and the dissolved liquid pressure increases, so the amount of dissolved gas also increases. This also increases the amount of microbubbles generated, thereby realizing both prevention of dust adhesion and reliable generation of a large amount of microbubbles.

(Embodiment 3)
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the fine bubble generating part of the bubble generating device according to the third embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the thing of the same structure as the bubble generator of 1st Embodiment and 2nd Embodiment attaches | subjects the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits description. In FIG. 6, the difference from the configuration of the first embodiment and the second embodiment is that the vessel body 33 is configured to have the hollow portion 32 formed in a truncated cone shape, and the rotation of the hollow portion 32. The gas-liquid jet hole 34 is provided on the small bottom circle side of the end portion of the symmetrical axis.

  By adopting the above configuration, the shape of the hollow portion 32 in the vessel body 33 is tapered toward the gas-liquid ejection hole 34, so that it is clear that the same effect as in the second embodiment is produced. It is.

(Embodiment 4)
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a fine bubble generation unit of a bubble generation device according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the thing of the same structure as the bubble generator of 1st-3rd embodiment gives the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits description. In FIG. 7, the difference from the configurations of the first to third embodiments is that the vessel body 36 is configured in a bottomed covered cylindrical shape so as to have a hollow portion 35 formed in a columnar shape, and a gas-liquid ejection hole 37 opens to one of both axial ends of the rotationally symmetric axis of the hollow portion 35, and the inflow port 23 to the vessel body 36 is provided closer to the gas-liquid ejection hole 37 than the axial length center of the rotationally symmetric axis. In the hollow portion 35, a plurality of blades 38 in the radial direction are provided in the vicinity of the peripheral wall portion, and an impeller 39 having a rotation axis of the swirling flow as a rotation axis is provided.

  The operation and action of the above configuration will be described. By operating the pump in the bubble generator of the embodiment shown in the figure, the mixed water in which air is pressurized and dissolved flows from the inlet 23 into the hollow portion 35 of the vessel body 36 from the tangential direction of the inner peripheral wall. This flow swirls along the peripheral wall of the hollow portion 35, and the impeller 39 rotates with the swirl flow by pushing the blades 38 on the peripheral wall portion of the hollow portion 35 in the circumferential direction, thereby generating a stable swirl flow. The swirling motion of this water flow causes a pressure difference between the swirling outer periphery and the central portion, and the swirling outer periphery is at a high pressure and the center is at a low pressure. As a result, the dissolved gas is separated, and a gas shaft 28 is formed at the rotationally symmetric shaft portion of the vessel 36 serving as the turning center.

  At this time, the hollow portion 35 becomes a substantially planar cylindrical space whose both ends are rotationally symmetric and perpendicular to the axis, and the liquid flows in a tangential direction from the circumferential portion of the cylindrical space, and thereby swirling the turbulent flow. Since the flow velocity component in the axial direction is almost eliminated and only the flow velocity component of the swirl perpendicular to the swirl axis can be obtained, a strong and stable swirl flow can be generated, and the formation of the gas shaft 28 is facilitated. When the swirl flow in the container body 36 having the gas shaft 28 is ejected from the gas-liquid ejection hole 37, the gas shaft 28 is sheared to become fine bubbles, and the ejected mixed water is decompressed by the ejection resistance, A large amount of fine bubbles can be generated by separating the dissolved gas using the fine bubbles as nuclei. Thus, since the fine bubble generating part 19 is not made of a fine orifice shape or a net, it is possible to achieve both reliable generation of fine bubbles and prevention of stagnation of dust.

  Further, since the swirl flow is more stably generated by the action of the impeller 39 without being disturbed by the flow velocity component in the swirl axis direction, formation of the swivel center gas axis by depressurization of liquid near the swirl center and separation of dissolved gas. And a large amount of fine bubbles can be generated more reliably.

  Furthermore, by arranging the inlet 23 close to the gas-liquid ejection hole 37 side and providing a sufficient distance from the inlet 23 to the other end of the body symmetry axis, the mixed water introduced from the inlet 23 can be reduced. Since the swirling flow can be grown and promoted toward the other end instead of immediately going to the gas-liquid ejection hole 37, the swirling flow is stabilized, and the swirling center is reduced by the decompression of the mixed water near the swirling center and separation of dissolved gas. Formation of the gas shaft can be ensured, and a large amount of fine bubbles can be generated more reliably.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of radial blades 38 are provided in the vicinity of the peripheral wall portion of the hollow portion 35 with respect to the inflow port 23 opened in a tangential direction to the peripheral wall of the vessel body 36, and swirling of the swirling flow The impeller 39 having the shaft as the rotation shaft is provided in the hollow portion 35. However, the impeller 39 may be any impeller that can turn by receiving the force of the water flow from the pressurized liquid introduction pipe 24. For example, the hollow portion 35 In the vicinity of the peripheral wall portion, the same effect can be obtained by a configuration using a substantially radial twist blade, or a combination of an inflow port and a twist blade provided inclined from the tangential direction of the peripheral wall of the vessel body 36.

(Embodiment 5)
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a fine bubble generating part of a bubble generating apparatus according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the thing of the same structure as the bubble generator of 1st-4th embodiment gives the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits description. In FIG. 8, the difference from the configuration of the first to fourth embodiments is that the vessel body 36 is formed in a bottomed and covered cylindrical shape so as to have a hollow portion 35 formed in a columnar shape. Two inflow ports 40 opened in a tangential direction are provided at positions opposed to each other across the rotational symmetry axis on the wall circumference, and mixed from the two inflow ports 40 through two branched pressurized liquid introduction pipes 41. Gas water is sent to the hollow portion 35, and the gas / liquid ejection hole 37 is opened to one of both axial ends of the rotational symmetry axis of the hollow portion 35, and the two inflow ports 40 are the gas / liquid ejection holes 37. The distance between the inlet 40 and the gas-liquid ejection hole 37 is shorter than half the axial length of the rotationally symmetric axis.

  The operation and action of the above configuration will be described. By operating the pump in the bubble generator of the embodiment shown in the figure, the mixed water in which air is pressurized and dissolved flows from the two inlets 40 into the hollow portion 35 of the vessel body 36 from the tangential direction of the inner peripheral wall. Then, it turns along the peripheral wall of the hollow portion 35. Due to the swirling motion of the water flow, a pressure difference is generated between the swirling outer peripheral portion and the central portion, and the swirling outer peripheral portion has a high pressure and the central portion has a low pressure. As a result, the dissolved gas is separated, and a gas axis is formed at the rotationally symmetric shaft portion of the vessel body 36 serving as the center of rotation.

  At this time, the hollow portion 35 becomes a substantially planar cylindrical space whose both ends are rotationally symmetric and perpendicular to the axis, and the liquid flows in a tangential direction from the circumferential portion of the cylindrical space, and thereby swirling the turbulent flow. Since the flow velocity component in the axial direction is almost eliminated and only the flow velocity component of the swirl perpendicular to the swirl axis can be obtained, a strong and stable swirl flow can be generated, and the formation of the gas shaft is facilitated. When the swirling flow in the container body 36 having the gas axis is ejected from the gas-liquid ejection hole 37, the gas axis is sheared to become fine bubbles, and the ejected mixed water is depressurized by the ejection resistance, and the aforementioned fine bubbles are obtained. It is possible to separate dissolved gas by using as a nucleus and generate a large amount of fine bubbles. Thus, since the fine bubble generating part 19 is not made of a fine orifice shape or a net, it is possible to achieve both reliable generation of fine bubbles and prevention of stagnation of dust.

  In addition, since two inflow ports 40 are provided on the same circumference of the swirl flow and swirl is promoted from a plurality of locations in the same rotation direction, a strong and stable swirl flow can be generated, and the liquid near the swirl center can be generated. It is possible to secure the formation of a gas axis at the center of rotation by reducing the pressure and separating the dissolved gas, and more reliably generate a large amount of fine bubbles.

  In the present embodiment, the two inflow ports 40 are provided at opposite positions on the circumference of the peripheral wall of the vessel 36. However, the predetermined interval may be provided without facing the same circumference of the peripheral wall of the hollow portion 35. A similar effect can be obtained even when two or more of the components are arranged.

  As described above, the bubble generating apparatus according to the present invention can achieve both the generation of fine bubbles and the prevention of stagnation of dust by avoiding the use of a fine orifice shape or a net-like member in the fine bubble generation unit. Therefore, a microbubble bath, water purification equipment for polluted water such as lakes, aeration equipment for increasing dissolved oxygen concentration, aquaculture equipment such as aquatic organisms, drinking water and food reforming equipment, health and welfare equipment, It can also be applied to applications such as liquid reactors.
