Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a carbonated water production apparatus for producing soda water for drinking.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional carbonated water production equipment uses a method to make carbonated water by blowing a certain amount of carbon dioxide gas from a carbon dioxide gas cylinder into water placed in a sealed container. However, blowing alone does not dissolve carbon dioxide gas enough into the water.
Undissolved gas escapes into the gas section. Therefore, in order to dissolve carbon dioxide sufficiently, either leave it as it is for a long time after blowing in and wait for the undissolved gas that escaped to the gas part to dissolve again in the liquid part, or dissolve it in a short time. If you wanted to increase the amount of carbonated water, you had to shake the carbonated water production device itself by hand to promote the mixing of gas and liquid.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the above-mentioned conventional device, if carbon dioxide gas was to be sufficiently dissolved in a short period of time, the carbon dioxide gas production device had to be shaken by hand. However, since the carbon dioxide gas production device itself is heavy when filled with water, there is a risk that weak children and women may not be able to shake it sufficiently or may drop it while shaking it.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a carbon dioxide gas production device that can sufficiently dissolve carbon dioxide gas in a short period of time without having to be shaken by hand.

[Means to solve the problem]

The gist of the carbonated water production device according to the present invention is as follows:
In a carbonated water production device that produces carbonated water by pouring water into a closed container and blowing carbon dioxide gas into the container, a vibrator is provided in the closed container to vibrate the closed container,
The airtight container is characterized in that a vibrating body is provided inside the sealed container to vibrate in the vertical direction in resonance with the vibrations generated by the vibrator. That is, a vibrating body that vibrates in the vertical direction is provided at the top of a sealable container, and this vibrating body is vibrated from outside the container to cause resonance vibration, and the vibrating body moves back and forth between gas and liquid. By vibrating like this,
Does it cause intense mixing of liquid and gas at the gas-liquid interface, causing carbon dioxide gas to enter the water in a short period of time? It makes them understand.

As a source of carbon dioxide gas, a simple carbon dioxide gas cylinder is sufficient, but it is also possible to use other carbon dioxide gas generators. [Function] With the above configuration, the vibrating body can move up and down at the gas-liquid interface. The vibrating body repeatedly moves in and out of the liquid, and at that time, gas and water mix, increasing the contact area of the gas and liquid, increasing the mass transfer rate, and increasing the dissolution of carbon dioxide. This is promoted at the liquid interface, and the carbon dioxide gas dissolves into the water in a short period of time, similar to when it is shaken by hand.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described using the drawings. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

This device consists of a carbonated water producing section A and a vibrating section B, and the carbonated water producing section A and the vibrating section B are connected by screws or flanges as shown in the figure. FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of carbonated water production section 8.

The carbonated water production department A places the lid 2 on the upper opening of the sealed container 1 and the pankin 12 to prevent the carbonated water and carbon dioxide gas inside from leaking.
A presser foot 3 is screwed to the upper part of the lid 2 to a carbon dioxide gas cylinder.

A guide tube 2I is provided on the top surface of the lid 2 to accommodate a carbon dioxide gas cylinder 4 therein, and a metal carbon dioxide injection pin 51 protrudes from the center of the bottom surface of the guide tube 21. This carbon dioxide gas injection pin 5l connects the carbon dioxide gas pump 4 to the guide tube 2.
When the carbon dioxide gas cylinder holder 3 and M2 are joined together, the surface of the carbon dioxide gas cylinder 4 is pierced and becomes a carbon dioxide gas inlet. At this time, a packing 13 is placed on the carbon dioxide injection bottle 5I to prevent carbon dioxide gas from leaking to the outside. Inside M2, a carbon dioxide gas introduction path 52 is provided in communication with the carbon dioxide gas injection pin 5l, and a carbon dioxide gas introduction pipe 5 is provided in communication with the carbon dioxide gas introduction path 52 toward the inside of the sealed container 1. A carbon dioxide gas outlet 6 is provided at the end of the introduction pipe 5.

Further, a vibrating body C as shown in FIG. 3 is screwed to the bottom of the lid 2.

The vibrating body C is provided with springs 9 above and below the weight 8 so as to pull the weight 8 in the vertical direction, and the weight 8 and the springs 9 are more powerful than the support member 7 that supports a certain vibrator. This weight 8 is positioned at the top of the closed container l. For this vibrator, a spring with a spring constant suitable for the mass of the weight 8 is selected so that the natural frequency has a value that is an integral multiple of the excitation frequency of the vibrator, which will be described later.

Further, at the lower part of the support member 7, when the lid 2 is joined to the container body 1, a spring 11 is installed inside the bottom of the container body 1.
A protrusion 71 is provided so as to fit within the guide tube 10 in which the guide tube 10 is arranged. At this time, the spring 11 is compressed by the projection 71. The role of the guide tube 10, spring l1, and protrusion 71 is that if the vibrating body C is held in a cantilevered manner, when the vibrator vibrates, it will vibrate in the lateral direction and may break at the joint with the lid 2. , guide tube lO, spring 1
1 and the protrusion 71 to support both ends to prevent this.

The vibrator B has an eccentric rotor 16 mounted on the bottom of a hollow cylindrical vibrator storage container 14 with an open top and a motor 15.
It has a structure that is attached to the axis of the

In addition, on the side of the vibration exciter storage container l4, there are a plurality of ventilation holes Ll.
l 4' is open. In addition, the motor l which is the vibrator
5 may be provided in a closed container l.

With the above structure, when the motor 15 is moved after water is poured into the sealed container 1 and carbon dioxide gas is blown into it, vibrations are generated due to the movement of the eccentric rotor 16, and these vibrations are transmitted to the sealed container 1 and the vibrating body C. In response to this, the weight 8 resonates in the vertical direction. As a result, since the weight 8 moves back and forth between the liquid part and the gas part, mixing of gas and liquid occurs intensely at that part, promoting the dissolution of carbon dioxide gas, and dissolving carbon dioxide gas in water in a short time. I will do it.

〔Effect of the invention〕

In the carbonated water production apparatus of the present invention, dissolution of carbon dioxide gas is promoted by mechanically causing vigorous mixing of gas and liquid. Therefore, even if you want to make carbonated water with enough carbon dioxide dissolved in it in a short time, there is no need to shake it by hand, and even children and women with weak strength can safely make it.
