  JP 2011-121896 A   Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-299270

  In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-121896 cited above, a foam generating device having a screw that is rotated by a motor is used, and the cleaning composition is mixed with air by the rotation of the screw to generate cleaning bubbles. It is characterized by.

  Moreover, in the cited reference JP-A-9-299270, the soap solution stored in the tank is sucked up by a pump and introduced into the mixing chamber, and bubbles are mixed into the liquid in the mixing chamber by pressurization of the pump. It is a manual soap dispenser which is made into a mousse and is discharged from a discharge pipe.

  In the case of Patent Document 1, foam was generated and discharged by a motor drive, but the discharge part is located directly under the stock solution tank, and the foam or soap liquid remains in the foaming chamber forever due to its structure. There was a problem that leaked carelessly.

  In the case of Patent Document 2, the soap liquid that has become mousse is discharged by repeating the pressing operation of the operation cap, but the mousse soap liquid remaining in the mixing chamber may not be maintained in a mousse shape. In some cases, a stable mousse could not be discharged.

  In addition, there are commercially available products of other companies that have a pump for liquid and air. In this case, the amount of foam that can be discharged is limited to the capacity of the pump, and many foams can be discharged. Was necessary, it was cumbersome and inconvenient because it had to be repeated many times.

  In addition, even when only a small amount is required, it can not be selected, only the capacity of the pump is discharged without permission, it can not be continuously discharged, and only a constant amount of foam can always be discharged It was.

  Further, even after the switch is shut off, a residual pressure remains in the discharge path, and the residual pressure sometimes causes liquid dripping.

  On the other hand, the problem of the present invention is that it is possible to discharge bubbles with switch parts, and it is possible to limit the usage fee, and it is also possible to discharge any amount in the required time just by touching the switch parts Then, it is providing the foam soap automatic dispenser which can discharge the stable foam soap as needed.

  The automatic soap dispenser of the present invention has a liquid soap tank arranged and fixed on the apparatus main body, the liquid soap is discharged from a liquid discharge port provided at the lower end of the liquid soap tank, and the liquid soap is bubbled by an air pump. In addition, air is pushed up from the air injection / retraction pipe to the foam creation section, and then the foam soap refined from the foam outlet is discharged from the foam outlet through the foam / liquid creation pipe and filter. The battery is arranged inside the lower part of the main body of the apparatus, and the air pump is arranged on the upper part. The air pump is started by the operation of the switch part, and the liquid soap The lower liquid of the liquid soap tank is characterized in that the soap liquid discharged from the lower liquid discharge port of the tank is sent to the foam generating section. A check valve is provided at the outlet, and the check valve is closed during the operation of the air pump, so that air cannot be sent into the liquid soap tank. When the pump is stopped, the check valve opens by the weight of the liquid soap, the liquid soap is discharged and refilled, and the liquid soap is filled in the foam generating part and the air injection pipe, above the pressure adjustment pipe. Is characterized by the fact that liquid soap is carried into the bubble creation part and the air injection pipe when the air is released because a very small hole is drilled. When operating the air pump, the air injection pipe The liquid soap accumulated in the tank is pushed up to the foam generating section by the force of air, and the foam and the liquid soap are sent toward the foam discharge port. The flow direction of bubbles and liquid soap is only the direction of bubbles and liquid delivery pipes, and when the air pump is stopped, the check valve at the bottom of the liquid soap tank opens and the liquid soap is replenished. In addition, the liquid soap pushed up by the force of air descends from the foam / liquid delivery pipe and accumulates in the air / refuge pipe, and the pressure adjustment section at the tip of the pressure adjustment pipe It is a foam soap automatic dispenser characterized in that the pressure generated by the operation of the air pump is relieved from the extremely small hole of the bubble soap.

  As described above, according to the automatic soap dispenser according to the present invention, foaming liquid such as detergent, shampoo, hand soap, body soap and the like is mixed with air to generate fine foam, and the fine foam is automatically discharged. In particular, a bubble soap automatic dispenser, in which an air pump is started by operating a switch part and the bubble soap is discharged from a discharge port, and by operating the switch part, the air pump is stopped and the bubble soap is discharged. Since it is configured to be canceled, if the user operates the switch parts only when necessary, the foam soap is automatically discharged only at that time, or the discharge is stopped when unnecessary. So foam soap can be used conveniently.

  It is a front view of the foam soap automatic dispenser concerning the present invention.   It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view in the AA line of FIG.

  Hereinafter, based on FIG. 1 thru | or FIG. 2, the structure and operation | movement of the foam soap automatic dispenser of this invention are demonstrated below.

  A battery 5 is arranged inside the lower part of the apparatus main body 1, and an air pump 4 is arranged on the upper part.

  The air pump 4 starts to be driven by the operation of the switch part 9 and sends the soap solution 21 discharged from the lower liquid discharge port 23 of the liquid soap tank 2 to the foam generating unit 10.

A check valve 24 is provided at the lower liquid discharge port 23 of the liquid soap tank 2.
Since the check valve 24 is closed during the operation of the air pump 4, air is not sent into the liquid soap tank 2.

  When the air pump 4 is stopped, the check valve 24 is opened by the weight of the liquid soap, and the liquid soap is discharged.

  In the state where the air pump 4 is stopped, the liquid soap is replenished, and the liquid soap is filled in the bubble generating unit 10 and the air injection pipe 13.

  Since a very small hole is drilled above the pressure adjusting tube 11, the liquid soap is carried into the bubble generating part and the air injection tube when air is released from the hole.

  When the air pump 4 is operated, the liquid soap accumulated in the air injection pipe 13 is pushed up to the foam generating unit 10 by the force of air, and the foam and liquid soap are sent toward the foam discharge port 7.

  As described above, since air does not flow to the liquid soap tank 2 by the action of the check valve 24, the direction of movement of the foam and liquid soap is only in the direction of the foam / liquid delivery pipe 13.

  When the air pump 4 is stopped, the check valve 24 at the lower part of the liquid soap tank 2 is opened, the liquid soap is replenished, and the liquid soap 21 pushed up by the force of air descends from the foam / liquid delivery pipe 8. It collects in the air / refuge tube 13.

  This phenomenon is realized by releasing the pressure generated by the operation of the air pump from the very small hole of the pressure adjusting component 22 at the tip of the pressure adjusting pipe 11.

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, if the user operates the switch parts near the discharge port only when necessary, the bubble soap is automatically discharged only at that time, and if not necessary, the discharge is performed. Since it is a discontinued configuration, foam soap can be used conveniently, foaming liquids such as detergents, shampoos, hand soaps, body soaps etc. are mixed with air to produce fine foams, which are automatically Since it can be widely used as a foam soap automatic dispenser that can be discharged, it has high industrial applicability.
