Description

The present invention relates to an apparatus for easily producing carbonated water.

As a simple method for producing carbonated water, a method is used in which carbonate, acid and water are put into a container and the generated carbonic acid gas is dissolved in water as it is to obtain carbonated water. Carbonated water produced in one container is not suitable for drinking because it has saltiness and strong acidity due to the reaction between carbonate and acid.

As a carbonated water maker that can be used for drinking, there is a device in which two or more containers are connected by a pipe to generate carbon dioxide and a container for carbonated water is divided. Since two or more containers are connected by pipes, a suitable installation area is required, and the utilization rate of carbon dioxide generated is low. In addition, the generation of carbon dioxide and the dissolution of carbon dioxide in water are promoted by shaking the container, but since it is divided into two containers, it is necessary to shake each container separately.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a front view of the entire device showing that the carbonated water production device is composed of a carbon dioxide gas generation container 10, a carbonated water production container 20, and a connection portion 30. As shown in FIG. 1, the installation area is the same as the bottom surface of the container, and the height is the size of two containers plus the connection portion 30, which is small and space-saving.

As a first embodiment, an embodiment of a carbonated water production apparatus provided with a pipe 31 and a pipe 32 in the connection portion 30 will be described. 2 to 6 show the first embodiment. The configuration of the device is a carbon dioxide gas generation container 10, a pipe 31, a connection portion 30 provided with a pipe 32, and a carbonated water production container 20. Water, carbonate and acid chemicals are used to produce carbonated water. PET bottles for carbonated drinks may be used for the two containers that are the components. A grommet may be used as necessary to maintain a compaction state between the connection portion 30, the pipe 31 to be attached, and the pipe 32.

The process of producing carbonated water in the first embodiment is as follows. First, a rod-shaped solidified carbonate and acid agent having a color corresponding to the carbonic acid intensity desired by the user of the carbonated water is put into the carbon dioxide gas generating container 10. Separately, water is poured into the carbonated water production container 20 up to the vicinity of the faucet, and after screw connection with the side of the connection portion 30 provided with the pipe 32, water leaks from the pipe 31 in a state of being held by hand and inverted. After confirming that this is not the case, the carbon dioxide gas generating container 10 into which the chemical has been charged in advance and the connecting portion 30 are screwed and connected. Next, the carbonated water production container 20 is pressed, and water is poured through the pipe 32 and the pipe 31 of the connection portion 30, which is about one-fifth of the volume of the carbon dioxide gas generation container 10. Carbon dioxide gas is generated and extruded, and the carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in the water of the carbonated water production container 20 to become carbonated water. When the undissolved drug can be confirmed, avoid the solution from touching the tip of the colored tube 31 of the connecting portion 30 so that the solution does not mix with the carbonated water, and rock the carbon dioxide gas generating container 10 from side to side. May be good. Even in the carbonated water production container 20, the left-right swing can promote the dissolution of carbon dioxide gas.

The removal and use of the carbonated water produced in the first embodiment from the apparatus will be described. After producing carbonated water, turn the device upside down. The carbon dioxide gas generation container 10 is at the top, and the carbonated water production container 20 is at the bottom. When turning the device upside down, make sure that the solution does not touch the tip of the colored tube 31 of the connection portion 30 so that the solution of carbonate and acid does not mix with the carbonated water. After turning the device upside down, the connecting portion 30 is held, and the carbonated water production container 20 containing the carbonated water under the connecting portion 30 is removed. When it is removed, carbon dioxide gas that is not dissolved in water is discharged. The produced carbonated water can be used as it is, or the carbonated water can be stored by covering the container.

As a second embodiment, an embodiment of a carbonated water production apparatus provided with a check valve 33 at the connection portion 30 will be described. 7 to 9 show a second embodiment. The configuration of the device is a carbon dioxide gas generation container 10, a connection portion 30 provided with an integrally molded packing and a check valve 33, and a carbonated water production container 20. Water, carbonate and acid chemicals are used to produce carbonated water. PET bottles for carbonated drinks may be used for the two containers that are the components.

The process of producing carbonated water in the second embodiment is as follows. First, the carbonate and acid agents solidified in a rod shape with a color corresponding to the carbonic acid intensity desired by the user of the carbonated water are put into the carbon dioxide gas generation container 10. Separately, about four-fifths of the container is filled with water in the carbonated water production container 20, and after screwing and connecting with the integrally molded packing of the connection portion 30 and the side provided with the check valve 33, it is held by hand and inverted. Check that water does not leak from the connection portion 30 in this state. Next, about one-fifth of the water is poured into the carbon dioxide generation container 10 into which the chemical is charged in advance, and then the connection portion 30 is screwed and connected. Carbon dioxide gas is generated and extruded, and the carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in the water of the carbonated water production container 20 to become carbonated water. If an undissolved drug can be confirmed, the carbon dioxide gas generating container 10 may be swung left and right so that the solution does not reach the stopper so that the solution does not mix with the carbonated water. Even in the carbonated water production container 20, the left-right swing can promote the dissolution of carbon dioxide gas.

The removal and use of the carbonated water produced in the second embodiment from the apparatus will be described. After producing the carbonated water, the connecting portion 30 is held, and the carbon dioxide gas generating container 10 under the connecting portion 30 is removed. When it is removed, carbon dioxide gas that is not dissolved in water is discharged. The produced carbonated water may be stored as it is without disconnecting the connection portion 30. It is also possible to remove the connection portion 30 and use carbonated water immediately. Since the connection portion 30 includes the check valve 33, the carbon dioxide gas in the carbonated water production container does not leak and can be used as a lid of the container.
