In the conventional method of using carbonic acid bath salts, the carbon dioxide gas as an active ingredient is local, and it is difficult to spread it uniformly throughout the bath. The amount of carbon dioxide remaining is limited because it is released into the interior, which is very inefficient. In addition, conventional high-concentration carbonated springs are mainly used with a carbonic acid cylinder for business use, and there are some difficulties in convenience when used. Therefore, a carbonated spring apparatus that is easier to operate and compact is required.

In addition to carbonated baths, for example, essential oil ingredients extracted from plant systems such as citrus fruits such as coconuts, salmon, warming effect, cancer suppression effect, skin beautifying effect, whitening effect, etc. Development of a microbubble device that can easily switch between various effects suitable for improving health and beauty, such as lipolytic enzymes and proteolytic enzymes, which are effective in degrading and cleaning dirt.

The fine bubble generator of the present invention is characterized by the following means in order to solve the above problems.

As means for solving the problems of [0007] and [0008], as described in claim 1, first, a replaceable solid foaming agent (7) is placed in a foaming agent storage container (3) and shown in claim 2. In addition, the gas-liquid dissolved liquid in a high-pressure state is prepared by using a pressure pump means and feeding it to the gas-liquid dissolving tank (11) with vigorous mixing through a pressure pump means. Finally, the pressure is rapidly reduced to change the fine bubbles containing warm bath effect components according to the purpose of use.

The vane pump (1) has relatively low driving noise and vibration noise, and the discharge flow rate can be freely changed from small to large by simply replacing the pump head with a built-in rotating blade. It is. The vane pump (1) is characterized by almost no discharge pulsation and little decrease in flow rate due to pressure increase. Therefore, a large amount of air (generic name for gas) is injected from the air inlet (5). However, air pumping hardly occurs in the pump itself, and it is effective for generating a large number of very dense fine bubbles having a high number density.

The carbon dioxide gas according to claim 2 becomes innumerable bubbles with extremely small buoyancy due to miniaturization, and can stay in the bathtub for a long time. Compared to the method to do, it is greatly suppressed. Further, as an effect of miniaturization, since the absorbability from the pores is greatly improved, it is extremely effective in effectively expanding the capillaries and promoting blood circulation and recovery from fatigue. The same applies to the refinement of essential oil components (aromatic oil), lipolytic enzymes, and proteolytic enzymes. By increasing the penetration into the back of pores, the essential oil bath inherent in essential oil components and dirt such as fatty acids can be removed. The natural power of the enzyme to break down works efficiently.

The foaming agent container (3) installed close to any flow path leading to the suction port side of the vane pump (1) serves as a carbon dioxide gas supply source, so that the carbon dioxide cylinder used in the conventional carbonated spring generator and its accompanying This eliminates the need for all the mechanical supply devices to be performed, reduces the size of the entire device, and greatly improves the convenience in use. In addition, as in claim 3, by changing the solid foaming agent (7) according to the purpose of use, the necessary warm bath effect component can be freely changed, and fine bubbles having various effects can be created. .

  It is the schematic of the warm bath effect ingredient supply system by one embodiment of the present invention.   It is a substantially annular shape figure of the solid foaming agent (7) by one Embodiment of this invention.   It is a substantially tablet shape figure of the solid foaming agent (7) by one Embodiment of this invention.   It is an internal structure and air valve of the gas-liquid dissolution tank (11) by one Embodiment of this invention.

Embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiment shown below is one example for embodying the technical idea of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following. In particular, the dimensions, materials, shapes, or relative arrangements of the component parts are merely one illustrative example unless otherwise specifically limited, and each constituent member or element is a single member. Alternatively, the elements may be composed of a plurality of members or elements, and conversely, the plurality of members or elements may be integrated into a single member or element.

As shown in FIG. 1, a foaming agent container (3) is disposed on the suction port side of the vane pump (1), which is a pressurizing pump means, and a liquid water suction port (4) connected to the hose is attached.

As shown in FIG. 1, the foaming agent container (3) is directly connected to or close to the suction port side of the vane pump (1), and as shown in FIG. 2, the solid foaming agent (7) is a substantially doughnut-shaped hole. Various active ingredients such as carbon dioxide are expressed by dissolution by processing into an annular shape or a tablet-like substantially lump shape as shown in Fig. 3 and placing it around the cylindrical tube (8). The tablet shape includes cubes, rectangular parallelepipeds, spheres, cylinders, cones, pyramids, ellipsoids, cylinders, and the like, as well as combinations of these. In addition, the active ingredient which this invention shows may express the same ingredient from a powder form or a liquid bath agent.

As shown in FIG. 1, the foaming agent container (3) has a lid (9) screwed or fitted into a substantially box-shaped foaming agent container (3) that contains the solid foaming agent (7). It is made from any member of metal, non-metal or composite materials thereof.

When the solid foaming agent (7) generates carbon dioxide gas by mixing an alkali carbonate substance and an acid component substance, there is no particular limitation, but examples of the alkali carbonate substance include sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, carbonate It is selected from magnesium, sodium sesquicarbonate, etc., and the acid component substance is selected from succinic acid, fumaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid and the like to generate carbon dioxide gas. Also, if there is a substitute product that has been released by another company, that is also good.

In addition to the purpose of generating carbon dioxide gas, the solid foaming agent (7) is also one of the purposes to express an essential oil component (aroma oil) extracted from plant systems such as eggplant and straw. Among them, limonene, which is effective for recovery from fatigue, blood circulation promotion, whitening effect and skin beautifying effect, limonin and pinene, hesperidin, eugenol, etc. which are noted as active ingredients for blood circulation, can be expressed by selecting one or more kinds preferable.

In addition to the components shown above, the essential oil component (aroma oil) may be blended with other active ingredients such as herbal clary sage, citrus lemon or floral chamomile, geranium, lavender, etc. . In addition, the extracted component is not limited to a natural component, but may be a scientifically synthesized component. If there is a substitute sold by another company, it is also good. However, if the essential oil component is used at a high concentration, it causes irritation to the skin for sensitive skin, and it works on the central nervous system such as chamomile and has a sedative effect, sometimes causing headache and nausea during use. Sometimes it needs attention.

In addition, the solid foaming agent (7) can also be made with lipolytic enzymes or proteolytic enzymes as the main components, and by miniaturization, the enzyme components penetrate deep into the pores and decompose fatty acid and other causative substances Effective removal.

There are no particular restrictions on the proteolytic enzyme, but it is desirable to combine one or more of protease, pepsin, papain, chymotrypsin, subtilisin, cathepsin D, thermolysin, caspase, bromelain, actinidine, phytin, trypsin, pancreatin and the like. Also, if there is a substitute product that has been released by another company, that is also good.

The lipolytic enzyme is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to combine one or more of amylase, lipase, phospholipase and the like. Again, if there is a substitute product that is available from other companies, that's good too.

It is desirable to adjust the dissolution time of the solid foaming agent (7) so that the active ingredient is gradually released by changing the tablet hardness, the diameter and thickness of the tablet, and the like at the time of molding.

The air inlet (5) is a supply source of air (generic name for gas), and adjusts the pressure of the vane pump (1) by increasing or decreasing the gas supply amount.

Air (general name of gas), hot water and various active ingredients are continuously pumped to the gas-liquid dissolution tank (11) by the vane pump (1), and after vigorous gas-liquid mixing to a nearly saturated state, the water is discharged and finely discharged at the same time. Turn into. The solid foaming agent (7) for expressing the carbon dioxide gas, essential oil component (aromatic oil), lipolytic enzyme, or proteolytic enzyme, which is the active ingredient of the hot bath, is preferably exchanged according to the purpose of use.

It is desirable that the rotation axis direction of the vane pump (1) is set horizontally and kept substantially horizontal, similarly to the rotation axis direction of the interlocking electric motor (2).

Inside the gas-liquid dissolution tank (11), as shown in FIG. 4, a substantially cylindrical gas-liquid injection pipe (10) protruding in a substantially vertical direction from the upper layer of the tank is provided. The gas and liquid are jetted in all directions at 360 degrees from the injection holes that are horizontally drilled everywhere. In addition, it is desirable to attach an air valve to the top of the head outside the tank in order to remove excess air stored without being dissolved.

FIG. 4 shows the state of the gas-liquid injection nozzle (10) protruding in the substantially vertical direction, but conversely, the gas-liquid injection nozzle (10) is protruded in the substantially vertical direction from the lowermost layer portion of the tank to cause gas-liquid injection. May be.

As the pressure release means, it is preferable that a metal plate having several pin holes having a diameter of about 0.1 to 0.8 mm as penetrating holes is incorporated in the vicinity of the final outlet and gas-liquid jetting is performed.

Although there is no special rule regarding the pressure release means, a decompression method that secures a certain release port or hole that is slightly released and discharges the gas-liquid dissolved solution that has reached a substantially saturated state from the injection port or hole at once. In the present invention, a method is used in which the gas in the liquid is precipitated and converted into countless fine bubbles suspended in milky white.
