The cross-sectional area in the direction intersecting the fluid flow direction of the first throttle portion 13, here the cross-sectional area in the radial direction Y, is smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe 3 and the casing 10, that is, the dimension in the radial direction Y, respectively. On the first surface 10 </ b> A, a recess 15 is provided inside the first aperture 13. The recess 15 is closed at the bottom 15A.

  Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the plurality of first throttle parts 13 communicate with the first flow path 16 downstream thereof. The first flow path 16 has a so-called donut shape having an annular shape in the circumferential direction Z, and is defined by the circumferential surface 10 </ b> C of the casing 10 and an annular wall 17 located inside the radial direction Y thereof. The cross-sectional area in the direction intersecting the flow direction of the first flow path 16, here, the cross-sectional area in the radial direction Y is larger than that of the first throttle portion 13. A first wall 18 is provided at the end of the first flow path 16 on the second surface 10B side. The first wall 18 is provided orthogonal to the axial direction X and closes the end of the first flow path 16. The first wall portion 18 is not necessarily required to be orthogonal to the axial direction X, and may extend in a direction intersecting the axial direction X. However, it is desirable to intersect at an angle that is orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the axial direction X.

  The annular wall 17 has a cylindrical shape extending along the center line 2, and the inside thereof becomes a cavity to form the second flow path 22. The annular wall 17 is provided with a second throttle portion 21 that penetrates the annular wall 17 in the radial direction Y. That is, the first flow path 16 and the second flow path 22 are communicated with each other by the second throttle portion 21. More specifically, the second throttle portion 21 is formed by a through hole provided in the annular wall 17, and a plurality of the second throttle portions 21 are provided apart from each other in the circumferential direction Z of the annular wall 17. The second throttle portion 21 is preferably located on the first surface 10A side from the midpoint of the annular wall 17 in the axial direction X, and the plurality of second throttle portions 21 are provided symmetrically with respect to the center line 2. It is desirable.

  A second flow path 22 extending in the axial direction X is formed inside the annular wall 17. The cross-sectional area in the direction crossing the flow direction of the second flow path 22, here the cross-sectional area in the radial direction Y, is the cross-sectional area in the direction crossing the flow direction of the second throttle part 21, here the cross-sectional area in the axial direction X Bigger than.

  Referring to FIGS. 2 and 5, the second wall portion 23 is provided downstream of the second flow path 22. The second wall portion 23 extends in the direction intersecting the fluid flow direction, that is, in the radial direction Y, and is provided away from the annular wall 17 in the axial direction X. More specifically, the second wall portion 23 is provided orthogonal to the axial direction X. Note that the second wall portion 23 is not essential to be orthogonal to the axial direction X, and may extend in a direction intersecting the axial direction X. However, it is desirable to intersect at an angle that is orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the axial direction X. The dimension of the second wall portion 23 in the radial direction Y is the same as or larger than that of the second flow path 22.

  An annular recess 24 is formed around the second wall portion 23. The annular recess 24 is provided so as to have a so-called donut shape along the circumferential surface 10C of the casing 10, and a third throttle portion 25 communicating with the rear chamber 12 is provided at the bottom 24A. A plurality of third diaphragm portions 25 are provided apart from each other in the circumferential direction Z, and an arc is drawn along the circumferential surface 10 </ b> C and provided symmetrically with respect to the center line 2. The cross-sectional area in the direction intersecting the flow direction of the third throttle portion 25, here the cross-sectional area in the radial direction Y, is smaller than that of the rear chamber 12. The rear chamber 12 communicates with the discharge port 6. In the rear chamber 12, a step portion 32 is formed between the enlarged diameter portion 31 of the pipe 3 and the discharge port 6 having a smaller diameter than the enlarged diameter portion 31. In this embodiment, the rear chamber 12 constitutes the third flow path, and the step portion 32 constitutes the third wall portion. The step portion 32 functioning as the third wall portion desirably intersects at an angle perpendicular to or substantially perpendicular to the axial direction X. However, it is not essential for the third wall portion to be orthogonal to the axial direction X, and it is sufficient if the third wall portion extends in a direction intersecting the axial direction X.

  In the gas mixing device 1 configured as described above, liquid such as water or warm water is supplied to the front chamber 11 via the liquid supply port 4, and gas such as carbon dioxide gas is supplied via the gas supply port 5. To the front chamber 11. For example, the liquid is supplied at about 0.2 to 0.45 MPa, and the gas is supplied at about 0.3 to 0.5 MPa. As the liquid is supplied to the front chamber 11 in this way, the gas also flows along the flow. That is, the liquid flows downstream as a mixed fluid containing gas.

  Most of the mixed fluid flows into the recess 15 and collides with the bottom 15A. At this time, the liquid and the gas are mixed, and the gas particles are refined by physical collision. The premixing part of this invention is comprised by the recessed part 15 at least.

  The mixed fluid that has collided with the bottom 15 </ b> A of the recess 15 flows from the recess 15 into the first throttle portion 13. Since the first flow path 16 is provided downstream of the first throttle 13 and the first wall 18 is provided in the first flow path 16, the mixed fluid collides with the first wall 18. Since the cross-sectional area in the flow direction of the first flow path 16 is larger than that of the first throttle section 13, the mixed fluid that has passed through the first throttle section 13 has a higher flow velocity in the first flow path 16 and the first wall. The impact when colliding with the portion 18 can be increased. That is, the liquid and the gas can be further mixed, and the refinement of the gas can be promoted. At least the first throttle portion 13, the first flow path 16, and the first wall portion 18 constitute a first mixing portion of the present invention.

The mixed fluid that has collided with the first wall portion 18 flows into the second flow path 22 via the second throttle portion 21. Since the second throttle portion 21 is provided symmetrically with respect to the center line 2, the mixed fluid discharged from the second throttle portions 21 at positions facing each other collides and is mixed in the second flow path 22. The mixed fluid in the second flow path 22 collides with the second wall portion 23 located downstream thereof, and is further mixed. Since the cross-sectional area in the flow direction of the second flow path 22 is larger than that of the second throttle section 21, the mixed fluid that has passed through the second throttle section 21 has a higher speed in the second flow path 22. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the impact in the discharge from the opposing second restricting portion 21 and the impact when colliding with the second wall portion 23, and further mix the liquid and the gas. Can be further promoted. Particularly, since it is considered that the flow velocity of the mixed fluid is increased immediately after passing through the second throttle portion 21, the impact between the mixed fluids in this portion can be increased. At least the second throttle part 21, the second flow path 22 and the second wall part 23 constitute a second mixing part of the present invention.

  The mixed fluid that has collided with the second wall portion 23 flows into the rear chamber 12 through the third throttle portion 25 and collides with the step portion 32. Since the cross-sectional area in the flow direction of the rear chamber 12 is larger than that of the third throttle portion 25, the mixed fluid that has passed through the third throttle portion 25 becomes faster in the rear chamber 12 and collides with the step portion 32. The impact can be increased. That is, the rear chamber 12 functions as a third flow path, and the step portion 32 functions as a third wall portion. Since the mixed fluid can collide with the stepped portion 32 in this way, the liquid and the gas can be further mixed, and the gas can be miniaturized. In this embodiment, the third mixing portion of the present invention is constituted by the third restricting portion 25, the third flow path constituted by the rear chamber 12, and the third wall portion constituted by the step portion 32.

  The mixed fluid that has passed through the premixing unit, the first mixing unit, the second mixing unit, and the third mixing unit is discharged from the gas mixing device 1 through the discharge port 6. The discharge port 6 can be connected to a tap or the like of a water supply, and the mixed fluid can be discharged when the tap is opened. The mixed fluid discharged from such a gas mixing device 1 has small gas bubbles and can be expected to have high efficacy due to the liquid containing the gas, and is preferably used for drinking water, bath water, showers, and the like. Can do.

The number of divisions and the division position of the casing 10 can be changed as appropriate. Further, an O-ring may be interposed between the first casing portion 101 and the second casing portion 102.

(Third embodiment)
7 to 9 show a third embodiment. This 3rd embodiment shows other examples of the 1st casing part 101 in a 2nd embodiment.

In the third embodiment, a plurality of plate-like partition walls 14 extending from the peripheral surface 10 </ b> C to the center line 2 are provided to be inclined with respect to the axial direction X. More specifically, the spiral is arranged with respect to the center line 2. Between the circumferential directions Z of the partition walls 14, first throttle portions 13 are respectively formed.

  According to such an embodiment, when the fluid supplied to the first casing portion 101 passes through the first throttle portion 13, the fluid flows downstream so as to be swirled by the partition wall 14. By generating the vortex in this way, it is possible to promote the mixing of the liquid and the gas when passing through the first throttle portion 13.

  In this embodiment, the casing 10 has been described using the divided second embodiment. However, the components in the third embodiment are added to the integrated one of the first example in which the casing 10 is not divided. You may combine.

The configuration other than the first casing portion 101 is the same as that of the second embodiment. In the fourth embodiment, similarly to the third embodiment, a plurality of plate-like partition walls 14 extending from the peripheral surface 10 </ b> C to the center line 2 are provided to be inclined with respect to the axial direction X. More specifically, the spiral is arranged with respect to the center line 2. Between the circumferential directions Z of the partition walls 14, first throttle portions 13 are respectively formed.

  The partition wall 14 is provided with a plurality of small holes 106. The small hole 106 penetrates the partition wall 14 in the axial direction X. Further, the small holes 106 adjacent in the circumferential direction Z have different dimensions from the center line 2. That is, it arrange | positions so that it may not be located in concentric form.

  By providing the small hole 106 as described above, the fluid can be supplied downstream through the small hole 106, and an excessive pressure rise upstream of the first casing portion 101 can be prevented. That is, when the partition wall 14 is formed in a spiral shape and the number of the partition walls 14 is increased, the discharge amount from the first throttling portion 13 may be reduced and an excessive pressure increase may be caused. By providing the hole 106, this concern can be eliminated.

  In this embodiment, the casing 10 has been described by using the divided second embodiment, but this component may be combined with the integrated type shown in the first embodiment in which the casing 10 is not divided. . The number of the partition walls 14 and the inclination angle can be appropriately changed depending on, for example, the speed and pressure of the fluid. In this embodiment, 20 partitions 14 are provided.

(Fifth embodiment)

The configuration other than the third casing portion 103 is the same as that of the second embodiment. In the fifth embodiment, a second wall portion 23 extending in the radial direction Y on the inner periphery of the pipe 3 and a third wall portion 107 disposed substantially in parallel with the second wall portion 23 are provided. The second wall portion 23 and the third wall portion 107 have a circular shape that is substantially the same shape and the same size as the inner periphery of the pipe 3, are in watertight contact with the inner periphery of the pipe 3, and extend in the axial direction X. Are connected to each other.

  In the second wall portion 23, a third throttle portion 25 is formed by a plurality of small holes. The mixed fluid that has passed through the third restricting portion 25 further repeats physical collision with the third wall portion 107 and is agitated to further mix the liquid and gas. In this embodiment, a third flow path 109 is formed between the second wall portion 23 and the third wall portion 107. A plurality of small holes 110 are formed in the third wall portion 107. The mixed fluid in the third flow path 109 is discharged from the discharge port 6 through the small hole 110. By passing through the small holes 110, the liquid and gas of the mixed fluid are further mixed, and gas atomization is promoted.

Specifically, the positions of the third throttle portion 25 and the small hole 110 in the axial direction X are arranged with a shift of about 30 ° in the circumferential direction Z with respect to the center line 2. By arranging in this way, it is possible to reduce the risk that the fluid from the third throttle portion 25 is guided directly to the small hole 110. That is, the fluid that has passed through the third throttle portion 25 can collide with the third wall portion 107.

(Sixth embodiment)

The third throttle portion 25 provided in the second wall portion 23 and the small hole 110 provided in the third wall portion 107 are arranged so as to be shifted so that their positions do not overlap with each other in the axial direction X. Specifically, the positions of the third throttle portion 25 and the small hole 110 in the axial direction X are arranged with a shift of about 30 ° in the circumferential direction Z with respect to the center line 2. By arranging in this way, it is possible to reduce the risk that the fluid from the third throttle portion 25 is guided directly to the small hole 110. That is, the fluid that has passed through the third throttle portion 25 can collide with the third wall portion 107. Also, the diameter of the small hole 110 may be reduced toward the downstream as in the third throttle portion 25.

Furthermore, by enclosing the premixing unit and the third mixing unit in the same casing 10, it is possible to avoid an increase in size of the device and maintain a downsized device. Note that the casing 10 is not an essential component and may be omitted. In that case, the premixing unit, the first mixing unit, the second mixing unit, the third mixing unit, and the like are individually watertightly arranged in the pipe 3.
