Description

  The present invention relates to a technique of an ultrafine bubble generating device that generates fine bubbles in a liquid.

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, attention has been paid to a technique using ultrafine bubbles having a bubble size (diameter) of several hundred nm to several tens of μm in liquids such as tap water, lakes, rivers, and seawater. The ultrafine bubbles have characteristics such as a very large surface area and physicochemical characteristics such as a self-pressurizing effect. By utilizing these characteristics, drainage purification, washing, body care in a bathtub, and seafood Technology for use in aquaculture has been developed. In particular, in fields such as drainage purification and fish and shellfish culture, a technique for efficiently dissolving air in water is required, and a technique using ultrafine bubbles is attracting attention as a solution.

As a method for generating ultrafine bubbles having the above-mentioned characteristics, a liquid jet nozzle has been conventionally arranged around an air nozzle that discharges air pumped by a compressor, and is discharged from the air nozzle by the force of the jet of the liquid jet nozzle. A method of tearing bubbles to make them fine is known. In addition, a method of subdividing the bubbles while applying the aerated bubbles to the mesh member is also known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Also known is a device that rotates a rotating body exposed in water, feeds air through a hollow rotating shaft that supports the rotating body, releases air from the rotating body, and diffuses bubbles in water. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).

Japanese Patent No. 3958346 JP 2004-897 A

However, the method of disposing the liquid jet nozzle around the air nozzle and tearing down the bubbles ejected from the air nozzle by the force of the jet of the liquid jet nozzle has a limit on the hole diameter of the nozzle and stabilizes the particle diameter. It is difficult. As for the method of rotating the rotating body, when air is released from the rotating body, the diameter of the fine bubbles becomes large, and even if the bubbles are diffused by stirring, the fine bubbles having a small diameter are uniformly formed. Was difficult.
Further, in the method in which air is pumped by a compressor, since the life of the compressor is short, maintenance costs are required. In addition, when the ultrafine bubble device is used in liquids such as lakes, rivers, seawater, etc., the life of the compressor is further shortened, so that the maintenance cost is further increased.
Furthermore, especially in wastewater purification and seafood culture, a technique for sending air to a deep place and improving the dissolved oxygen amount (air amount) has been required.

  Therefore, in view of such problems, the present invention can generate ultrafine bubbles having a small particle diameter by a simple method, and can generate ultrafine bubbles that are highly durable and can be saved for maintenance and operation. Providing equipment.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is as described above. Next, means for solving the problem will be described.

Next, embodiments of the invention will be described.
First, the whole structure of the ultrafine bubble generating apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
The ultrafine bubble generating device 1 is a device for generating ultrafine bubbles in water. Here, the ultrafine bubbles mean bubbles having a size (diameter) of several hundred nm to several tens of μm. The ultrafine bubble generating device is used particularly for purifying water quality by generating ultrafine bubbles in a liquid such as a lake, a river, and seawater.
The ultrafine bubble generating device 1 is connected to a motor 2, a motor 2, a rotating shaft 3 provided with a passage 31 in the center of the rotating shaft, and at least one rotation provided below the rotating shaft 3. The body 4, the rotating blade 5 provided at the end of the rotating body 4, a crank mechanism 6 for converting the rotational motion of the rotating shaft 3 into reciprocating motion, and the rotating shaft 3 are connected via the crank mechanism 6. An air cylinder 7. When the ultrafine bubble generating device 1 is used in water, a portion from the middle portion to the lower portion of the rotary shaft 3 is disposed in water.

The motor 2 is a device that generates rotational force using electricity as an energy source. The motor 2 is connected to a gear device 22 as a speed reducer that reduces the rotational speed in order to increase the torque. The gear device 22 is connected to an output shaft (not shown) of the motor 2 and is stored in a gear case 22a.
Further, the motor 2 is connected to an inverter 23 as a speed variable mechanism for electrically changing the rotation speed of the output shaft. The inverter 23 is connected to the control device 24. Thereby, the rotation speed of the motor 2 can be changed by controlling the inverter 23 by the control device 24.
The motor 2, the inverter 23 and the control device 24 are connected to a power source 25. Since the electric power required for operating the motor 2 to drive the rotating body 4 to be described later is about several tens W to at most about 100 W, the power source 25 can also use a solar power generation device. Further, it is possible to operate the motor 2 by supplying electric power from a battery, a commercial power source or the like.
The motor 2 is provided with an output shaft (not shown), and a gear device 22 is connected to the output shaft. The gear device 22 includes a plurality of gears, and reduces the rotational speed of the output shaft to improve torque. The most downstream gear of the gear device 22 meshes with a transmission gear (not shown) fixed to the rotary shaft 3.

  The rotary shaft 3 is provided so as to penetrate the gear case 22 a in the vertical direction, and power is transmitted from the motor 2 via the gear device 22. The rotating shaft 3 is configured to be hollow, and the hollow central portion is configured as a rotating shaft passage 31 for allowing air to pass therethrough. A transmission gear (not shown) that meshes with a gear on the most downstream side of the gear device 22 is fixed to a portion located in the middle of the rotating shaft 3 and inside the gear case 22a. A rotating body 4 is provided below the rotating shaft 3 so as not to rotate relative to the rotating shaft 3. In the present embodiment, the rotating body 4 is provided at the lower end of the rotating shaft 3.

As shown in FIG. 3, the rotating body 4 is provided at the lower end of the rotating shaft 3, and is provided so that the lower end of the rotating shaft 3 and the connection hole 41 provided at the plane center of the rotating body 4 coincide with each other. ing. The connection hole 41 has a lower surface closed, and a plurality of communication holes 42 are formed in the side surface. The number of communication holes 42 is provided so as to be the same as the number of rotor passages 43 described later. In the present embodiment, two communication holes 42 are provided.
The rotator passage 43 protrudes radially outward from the center of the rotator 4, and one end thereof is connected to the communication hole 42. Further, the other end on the outer side in the radial direction of the rotor passage 43 is connected to a rotor blade passage 51 provided in the rotor blade 5.

  The rotor blade 5 is composed of a high-density composite and has many fine holes with a diameter of several μm to several tens of μm, as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). The high-density composite is a conductor, and bubbles generated from the rotor blade 5 are charged with a negative charge. In other words, when free electrons are added to the ultrafine bubbles when passing through the rotor blade 5 that is a conductor, a negative charge is charged. This negative charge can prevent bubbles from repelling each other and coalescing into large bubbles.

Further, the rotor blade 5 is formed in a plate shape (substantially streamlined in sectional view) so that the thickness at the head portion in the rotation direction (the arrow direction in FIG. 2) is thick and the thickness at the end portion in the rotation direction is thin. The rotary blade 5 can be fixed by rotating in the vertical direction around the other end of the rotary body 4, whereby the inclination angle of the rotary blade can be freely changed.
For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the rotary blade 5 is inclined downward, water in contact with the lower surface of the rotary blade 5 flows downward on the lower side of the rotary blade 5, thereby causing downward water flow. Occurring on the upper side of the rotor blade 5, water flows along the upper surface of the rotor blade 5, thereby generating a downward water flow. Thereby, by rotating the rotary blade 5, a downward water flow can be caused to stir the water.
Even when a downward water flow is caused, since normal bubbles once sink down and then rise upward again, it is necessary to apply a large pressure to send the bubbles downward. However, according to the present embodiment, the ultrafine bubbles can be easily sent to the lower side only by generating a downward water flow by utilizing the small buoyancy of the ultrafine bubbles.

  The rotor blade 5 is provided with a rotor blade passage 51. The rotor blade inner passage 51 is provided inside the rotor blade 5, is bent from a midway portion in the short direction of the rotor blade 5, and is provided to a midway portion in the longitudinal direction of the rotor blade 5. One end of the rotor blade passage 51 is connected to the rotor passage 43. The connecting portions of the rotary shaft inner passage 31, the connection hole 41, the communication hole 42, the rotor inner passage 43, and the rotor blade inner passage 51 are sealed to prevent the liquid from entering the inside.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a crank mechanism 6 is provided on the upper portion of the rotating shaft 3. In the present embodiment, a crank mechanism 6 is provided at the upper end of the rotating shaft 3. The crank mechanism 6 includes a rotating plate 61 fixed to the upper end of the rotating shaft 3 and a connecting member 62 fixed to the rotating plate 61 so as to be eccentric from the rotation center. The connecting member 62 is connected to a cylinder rod 72 described later via a bearing or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the air cylinder 7 includes a cylinder body 71 and a cylinder rod 72. The cylinder body 71 is configured in a cylindrical shape, and the end on the opposite side to the cylinder rod 72 insertion side is closed. A cylinder rotation shaft 73 is provided at the closed portion of the cylinder body 71, and the cylinder rotation shaft 73 is fixed to a fixing member 74. Thereby, the cylinder body 71 is fixed so as to be rotatable about the cylinder rotation shaft 73. One end of the cylinder rod 72 is connected to the connecting member 62 via a bearing or the like, and slides in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the cylinder body 71 in accordance with the swing of the connecting member 62. At this time, the movement of the cylinder rod 72 in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cylinder body 71 is absorbed by the rotation of the cylinder body 71.

  The inside of the cylinder body 71 is divided into two chambers by a piston provided at the tip of the cylinder rod 72, and the air pipes 75 and 75 and the suction valves 76 and 76 are communicated with each chamber. One end of each air pipe 75 communicates with each chamber of the cylinder body 71 via a discharge valve 78, and the other end communicates with a merging pipe 77, and the other end of the merging pipe 77 is coupled with the rotation shaft passage 31. is doing. One end of each of the suction valves 76, 76 communicates with each chamber of the cylinder body 71, and the other end communicates with the outside (outside air side) via an air filter 79. The air filter 79 is a filter for removing dust and the like in the air. The junction pipe 77 is provided on the upper portion of the rotary shaft 3, is fitted so as to be rotatable relative to the rotary shaft 3, and communicates with the rotary shaft 3.

Next, a method for generating fine bubbles by the ultrafine bubble generator 1 will be described.
First, the motor 2 is driven. The driving force of the motor 2 is transmitted to the gear device 22 in the gear case 22a, and is transmitted from the gear device 22 to a transmission gear (not shown). And the rotating shaft 3 is rotated by the said transmission gearwheel rotating. Here, the direction of rotation of the rotating shaft 3 is the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2 and rotates counterclockwise in plan view.

  When the rotating shaft 3 rotates, the rotating plate 61 of the crank mechanism 6 provided at the upper end of the rotating shaft 3 rotates. When the rotating plate 61 rotates, the connecting member 62 provided on the rotating plate 61 moves in a circular shape in plan view, and the cylinder rod 72 connected to the connecting member 62 moves in a reciprocating manner. When the cylinder rod 72 reciprocates, movement other than the direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the cylinder body 71 is absorbed because the cylinder body 71 rotates about the cylinder rotation shaft 73. Therefore, the cylinder rod 72 slides back and forth in the cylinder body 71 in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the cylinder body 71.

When the cylinder rod 72 slides in the reduction direction (left direction in FIG. 1), the air in the left room in FIG. 1 is pumped from the air pipe 75 to the junction pipe 77. 1 is closed by a discharge valve 78, and air flows in through the suction valve 76.
On the contrary, when the cylinder rod 72 slides in the extending direction (opposite side), the air in the right chamber in FIG. 1 is pumped from the air pipe 75 to the junction pipe 77. 1 is closed by a discharge valve 78, and air flows in through the suction valve 76. With this configuration, the piston rod 72 is slid back and forth by the crank mechanism 6, and air is sent from the air cylinder 7 to the merging pipe 77 and further sent to the passage 31 in the rotation shaft.

As shown in FIG. 6, the pressure of the air pumped from the cylinder body 71 is surrounded by the volume V1 of the chamber when compressed in the cylinder body 71, the outlet of the cylinder body 71, the suction valve 76, and the discharge valve 78. It is determined by the ratio with the volume V2 of the air pipe 75. Therefore, by changing the eccentric distance from the rotation center of the connecting member 62 of the crank mechanism 6, the volume V1 of the chamber in the cylinder body 71 during compression can be changed, and the pressure of the air fed from the cylinder body 71 can be changed. The pressure can be changed.
In addition, by changing the diameter of the air cylinder 7, the amount of air pumped by one slide and the pressure of the pumped air can be changed.

  Further, when the rotating shaft 3 rotates, the rotating body 4 provided at the lower end of the rotating shaft 3 rotates. The air sent to the rotation shaft inner passage 31 passes through the rotation shaft inner passage 31 and is sent to the rotating body passage 43 through the connection hole 41 and the communication hole 42. The air sent to the rotor passage 43 is sent to the rotor blade passage 51, and passes through a fine hole having a diameter of several μm to several tens of μm provided in the rotor blade 5 from the rotor blade passage 51. Ultrafine bubbles are released into the water. The ultrafine bubbles released into the water are separated from the surface by the flow (flow in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 4) generated between the rotating rotor and the surrounding water at the moment of being released onto the rotor surface. . By comprising in this way, it will move to a liquid independently, without uniting with the ultrafine bubble which generate | occur | produces later and the ultrafine bubble which generate | occur | produces from the surrounding hole.

By adjusting the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 3, the amount of ultrafine bubbles generated can be adjusted. When the rotational speed of the rotary shaft 3 is lowered, the sliding speed of the cylinder rod 72 is lowered, so that the amount of air fed from the air cylinder 7 is reduced. At the same time, the rotational speeds of the rotating body 4 and the rotating blade 5 are also reduced, and a small amount of ultrafine bubbles can be efficiently discharged.
Further, when the rotational speed of the rotary shaft 3 is increased, the sliding speed of the cylinder rod 72 is increased, so that the amount of air fed from the air cylinder 7 increases. At the same time, the rotational speeds of the rotating body 4 and the rotating blade 5 are also increased, so that a large amount of ultrafine bubbles can be efficiently discharged.

In the present embodiment, the gear device 22 is used as a mechanism for reducing the rotational speed of the motor 2, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the gear device 22 is provided on the output shaft 82 of the motor 2. The rotational speed of the motor 2 may be reduced by winding a chain between the gear and the transmission gear provided on the rotary shaft 3. Thereby, the motor 2 and the rotating shaft 3 can be arrange | positioned in another position, and the freedom degree of arrangement | positioning improves.
It is also possible to reduce the rotational speed of the motor 2 by winding a timing belt between a pulley provided on the output shaft 82 of the motor 2 and a pulley provided on the rotary shaft 3. It is also possible to employ a continuously variable transmission system in which several thin conical friction plates are provided on the output shaft 82 and the rotary shaft 3 to transmit power by meshing with each other.
Further, the number of the rotor passages 43 and the rotor blades 5 is not limited to the number shown in the present embodiment, and the number of the rotor passages 43 and the rotor blades 5 can be three or more.
In this embodiment, the air is pumped by the reciprocating air cylinder 7, that is, the reciprocating air pump. However, a rotary (gear type, trochoid type or vane type) air pump may be used. It is.

The high-density composite is a conductor, and the bubbles generated from the rotor blade 505 are charged with a negative charge. In other words, when free electrons are added to the ultrafine bubbles when passing through the rotor blade 505 that is a conductor, a negative charge is charged. This negative charge can prevent bubbles from repelling each other and coalescing into large bubbles.

The two rotor blades 505 are formed in a propeller shape. A rotor blade inner passage 551 is provided inside the rotor blade 505. The rotor blade passage 551 is formed to have a circular cross section. One end of the rotor blade passage 551 is connected to the rotor passage 543. The connecting portions of the rotary shaft inner passage 31, the rotor inner passage 543, and the rotor blade inner passage 551 are sealed to prevent the liquid from entering the inside.
