Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001]

The present invention relates to an air supply apparatus using water pressure. And more particularly, to an air supply device using water pressure to supply a predetermined amount of air to tap water in order to increase the amount of microbubbles generated by using the water pressure of tap water introduced into an air tank through a plurality of bubble generating members.

In general, a micro bubble refers to a very fine ultra-fine bubble having a diameter of several tens of micrometers (占 퐉) or less. Such bubbles, which are fine particles of air bubbles, are used for various purposes in etching and cleaning processes of semiconductor wafers, purification facilities, farms, washing machines, and bathrooms.

In particular, when microbubbles are used in bathrooms, dissolved air (oxygen bubbles) in the water penetrates into the skin, effectively removing sebum, fungi and waste products in the pores. In addition, microbubbles provide bath and massage effects by themselves, and their use will increase in the future.

Typical methods of generating the micro bubbles include a method of generating bubbles by using ultrasonic waves and a method of passing bubbles through a decompression unit such as an orifice or the like at a relatively high pressure, It is broken down into numerous small particles and discharged to the outside, thereby generating microbubbles

However, a conventional air supply apparatus uses a pump or the like to forcefully transfer water and air. At this time, in order to generate micro bubbles, water and air have to be transferred at a relatively high pressure, so that there is a possibility of leakage of water on the pipe connection portion.

In addition, the conventional air supply apparatus has a problem in that when the pump is operated for the first time, the water can not be absorbed smoothly due to the height difference between the inflow portion and the pump. Thereby, there is a problem in that it is necessary to preliminarily supply the pump to the pump.

Further, the conventional air supply apparatus has a problem that microbubbles can not be generated when the orifice or the slit is clogged with the foreign substance.
