Multiple rows (5 rows) are arranged at intervals. In other words, a plurality of sets (7 sets) of propeller-shaped blade groups 1 are arranged at equal intervals in the axial direction so as to rotate in the circumferential direction (spiral). As a result, a plurality of (five) large spiral flow paths are formed between the spiral blade groups 11 while arranging a large number (35) of the blades 6.

That is, one spiral blade group 11 does not go around the cylindrical shaft 5. Specifically, the axial length T of the cylindrical shaft 5 is, for example, 10 mm or more, preferably 25 mm or more, and for example, 50 mm or less, preferably 40 mm or less. The radius r of the cylindrical shaft 5 is, for example, 2 mm or more, preferably 4 mm or more, and for example, 10 mm or less, preferably 8 mm or less. In FIG. 4, the spiral period λ is shown as a quarter length.

As shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 3, the spiral angle θ ₁ is an angle formed by the spiral axis X and the spiral line Y, and is 45 degrees or less, preferably 30 degrees or less, and for example, for example. It is 5 degrees or more, preferably 10 degrees or more.

Examples thereof include resins such as polyacetal (POM), silicone rubber and ABS resin, for example, metals such as aluminum, stainless steel and brass, and resin is preferable. Further, the cylindrical shaft 5, the plurality of blades 6, and the crown 7 are integrally molded from these materials.

The housing 3 is a container for accommodating the generator 2 and attached to a faucet or the like, and includes a main body portion 12 and a lid portion 13.

The main body 12 can accommodate the generator 2 inside and has a bottomed cylindrical shape. The inner side surface of the main body 12 substantially coincides with the virtual circumference formed by the outer peripheral edge of the generator 2, and the axial length of the main body 12 is slightly longer than the axial length T of the generator 2.

A circular opening 14 for allowing water to pass through is formed at the bottom of the main body 12. The opening 14 is formed so as to be larger than the cylindrical shaft 5. Further, an internal screw 15 is formed inside the upper end portion of the main body portion 12, so that the internal screw 15 can be fixed to the lid portion 13.

The lid portion 13 can be fixed to the main body portion 12, and the generator 2 is housed inside together with the main body portion 12. The lid portion 13 has a cylindrical shape that opens upward and downward. An internal screw 15 as an example of the fixing portion is formed inside the upper end portion of the lid portion 13 so as to be able to be fixed to the faucet 20. Further, an external screw 16 is formed on the outside of the lower end portion of the lid portion 13, and can be fixed by fitting with the internal screw 17 of the main body portion 12.

Examples of the material of the housing 3 include the same resin or metal as those exemplified in the generator 2.

The mesh 4 is a member for allowing water to pass through and supporting the generator 2. The outer shape of the mesh 4 coincides with the inner side surface of the main body portion 12. The mesh 4 is arranged at the bottom of the main body 12.

The generator 1 is attached to the tip of a faucet (faucet) 20 such as a kitchen or a wash basin, for example, as shown in FIG. That is, the internal screw 17 of the lid portion 13 is fixed to the faucet 20 so that the axial direction and the vertical direction of the generator 2 coincide with each other. Thus, the water is discharged downwardly from the tap 20, by passing through the generator 1, nanobubbles (infinitesimal bubble diameter is at 1000nm or less) are generated in the water flow, the result, nanobubbles Nanobubble water containing a large amount can be easily obtained.

At this time, the water discharged from the faucet 20 flows in from the upper opening of the lid portion 13, collides with the crown portion 7, and diffuses and moves outward in the circumferential direction. After that, the water collides with the orthogonal plane 8 and the slope 9 of the blade 6 at the uppermost stage (one end in the axial direction) of the blade 6, and then falls spirally along the plurality of slopes 9 located on the lower side. And it is released from the opening 14.

In particular, in the infinitesimal bubble generating device 1, a plurality of blades 6 are arranged in a spiral shape, it is possible to collide with a multistage manner continuously flow into a plurality of blades 6. Further, since the radial length L3 of the plurality of blades 6 is longer than the radius r of the cylindrical shaft 5, the width of the space (flow path) through which water flows between the blades can be widened, and a sufficient flow path can be secured. In addition, since the plurality of blades 6 are arranged in a spiral shape, a smooth spiral water flow can be obtained as compared with the case where the blades 6 are randomly arranged. That is, a large amount of smooth water flow can be continuously brought into contact with the plurality of blades 6. Therefore, a large amount of nanobubbles can be generated.

Further, since a large amount of nanobubbles can be generated, a sufficient amount of nanobubbles can be generated even if the axial length (water flow direction) length T of the generator 2 is shortened, so that the size can be reduced. Therefore, even if it is attached to the tip of a faucet or the like, excessive pressure on the work space can be suppressed.

Furthermore, it can be suppressed by can be released to the outside smoothly a lot of water flow, a decrease in the substantial pressure and amount of water due to the installed infinitesimal bubble generating member 2 in the path of the water.

Further, in the generator 1, the spiral spiral angle θ ₁ of the blade 6 with respect to the axial direction is 45 degrees or less. Therefore, more nanobubbles can be generated.

Further, in the generator 1, the blade 6 is a quadrangular prism projecting in a substantially parallel quadrilateral shape, has an orthogonal surface 8 and a slope 9 , and the axial length L2 of the blade 6 is an orthogonal surface 8. Is shorter than the orthogonal length L1. Therefore, nanobubbles can be reliably generated by the collision of the orthogonal plane 8 and the slope 9, and water can be smoothly guided in the spiral direction along the slope. Therefore, a larger amount of nanobubbles can be generated. Further, since the axial length L2 of the blade 6 is shorter than the orthogonal length L1 of the orthogonal plane 8, the axial length T of the generator 2 can be shortened, and the size can be reduced. At the same time, since the slope length L4 of the slope 9 is longer than the axial length L2, the area in contact with the water flow can be increased, so that nanobubbles are efficiently generated with a shorter axial length. Can be made to.

Further, in the generator 1, the axial length T of the cylindrical shaft 5 is shorter than the spiral period λ. Therefore, further miniaturization can be achieved. Further, since the water is discharged from the generator 1 before making one round of the spiral, smooth drainage is possible, and a large decrease in water pressure and water amount can be suppressed.

Further, in the generator 1, since the circumferential length L5 of the blade 6 is longer than the blade-to-blade pitch p at the outer peripheral edge of the generator 2, the width of the water flow path can be sufficiently secured. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the water pressure extracted from the opening 14 of the generator 1.

Further, in the generator 1, since the housing 3 has the internal screw 17, it can be easily attached to the faucet 20 without the need for an attachment tool of another part.

Specifically, in the positional relationship between two blades 6 adjacent to each other with an axial distance from each other, one blade 6 and the other blade 6 are visually viewed from one side in the axial direction toward the other side. It is located so that it deviates significantly in the circumferential direction (counterclockwise). That is, when viewed from the axial direction, the other blades 6b arranged on the other side in the axial direction are counterclockwise with respect to one blade 6 located on the other side in the axial direction (orthogonal surface 8 of the blade 6). There is a large deviation (in the circumferential direction from to the slope 9).

Similar to the first embodiment, the generator 1 of the second embodiment can be miniaturized and can generate a large amount of nanobubbles. Further, since the spiral angle θ'1 of the generator ₁ exceeds 45 degrees, nanobubbles having a smaller bubble size can be generated.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be, for example, in the range of 4 to 6. 5 is most preferable from the viewpoint of the water pressure of the water discharged from the generator 1 and the amount of nanobubbles.
