And, if air is continuously introduced into the accommodating part 26, the specific gravity is lower than the water of the air is moved upward, while the air layer is formed above the accommodating part 26, the air layer continues to increase, (28c) is also lowered.

As the beret portion 28c descends, the shielding film 28b descends about the hinge shaft 28a, so that the air outlet 24 is opened so that air is discharged to the outside through the air outlet 24.

In addition, the accommodating part 26 is provided with a gas-liquid separator outlet 29 through which water is discharged to the outside, and the gas-liquid separator outlet 29 communicates with the outlet 14 described above to generate the microbubble generator 30. Is communicated with).

On the other hand, the generator 14 for microbubble generating device in communication with the outlet 14 and the gas-liquid separator outlet 29 is provided. The generator 30 serves to allow the microbubbles to be generated while the water from which the air discharged through the outlet 14 is removed passes through the generator.

The generator 30 can be configured in a number of ways, for example as shown in FIG. 3.

The generator 30 is provided with a space therein, the inlet 42 is provided with water to the inlet end of the space, the other end is shielded and the first member 40 is provided with a discharge port 44 in the lateral direction And a second member 50 having a columnar shape that surrounds an outer surface of the first member 40 and has an opening 52 formed on the other side thereof so as to open in the other end direction of the first member 40. One member 40 may be configured to include a metal mesh 60 is filled in.

The generator 30 is first provided with a first member 40. The first member 40 has an elliptical shape in longitudinal section, and serves to generate and mature microbubbles in the interior space. Of course, the first member 40 may be formed as a polygonal pillar.

The first member 40 is provided with an inlet 42 through which the water passed through the main body 10 and the gas-liquid separator 20 enters at one end. The other side of the first member 40 is shielded.

The first member 40 is provided with an outlet 44. The discharge port 44 serves to guide the microbubbles generated in the second member 50 to be discharged to the outside of the generator 30.

The outlet 44 is preferably formed on the side of the first member (40). As shown in FIG. 3, it is preferable that the first member 40 is relatively formed adjacent to the inlet 42.

The microbubbles are generated while the water flowing through the inlet 42 passes through the metal mesh 60 to be described below, and also moves along the blocked and inner surfaces of the other side of the first member 40. In order to pass through the metal net 60 again to the inlet 42, to ensure the maximum creation time and aging time of the microbubble.

A plurality of outlets 44 may be formed along the side surface of the first member 40.

In addition, the inside of the first member 40 is configured to be filled with a metal mesh 60. This is to allow the water flowing into the first member 40 to be finely pulverized while passing through the metal mesh 60.

The metal mesh 60 may be formed in a withdrawal scrubber shape in order to more finely crush the water.

In addition, a second member 50 is provided on the outer surface of the first member 40. The second member 50 may be formed in a pillar shape in which an opening 52 is formed on the other side to surround the outer surface of the first member 40 and open in the other end direction of the first member 40. have.

As shown in FIG. 3, the second member 50 may have a longitudinal cross-section, and the microbubbles generated in the first member 40 may be discharged to the outside through the opening 52. It serves as a guide.

The inlet generator 70 and the microbubble generator generator 30 may be further provided with a filter such as a wire mesh to prevent foreign substances present in the bath.

As another embodiment of the microbubble generating device according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the gas-liquid separator 20 may be provided inside the main body 10. This is to minimize the overall volume of the microbubble generating device according to the present invention.

In particular, as shown in Figure 4, by placing the gas-liquid separator below the main body portion, it is possible to prevent the length of the overall microbubble generating device is lengthened.

Here, the receiving portion 26 filled with the water of the gas-liquid separator 20 and the outlet 14 communicate with fine holes (not shown) so that the water of the gas-liquid separator 20 passes through the outlet 14. It can be discharged to the generator (30).

Hereinafter, an operation process of the microbubble generating device according to the present invention having the configuration as described above will be described in detail.

In order to generate microbubbles in water such as a bath through the microbubble generator according to the present invention, first, both the generator 70 for inflow of the microbubble generator and the generator 30 for the microbubble generator are inserted.

When the power is applied to the microbubble generating device of the present invention, the motor is driven while the power is applied to the motor to drive the gears 18 of the pump 16.

When the gears 18 rotate, water in the bath flows into the body portion 10 through the inlet generator 70 and the inlet 12. At this time, the air remaining in the inside of the pump 16 is discharged to the outside through the air outlet 24, etc., the inside of the main body 10 is in a vacuum state so that the water inside the tub through the inlet 12, the main body 10 ) Flows inside.

If water is continuously supplied into the main body 10, the pressure inside the main body 10 is increased to reduce the volume of the mixed air, and a predetermined amount is dissolved in the water, and the excess air that is not dissolved is dissolved in the main body 10. ) Exists in the upper air layer, and flows to the gas-liquid separator 20 through the mixed gas flow path 22.

At this time, if the air is not discharged by dividing the air into water and air into the gas-liquid separator 20, the air is melted again in the water of the gas-liquid separator 20 and introduced into the bath through the gas-liquid separator outlet 29. Since is a high pressure, it is necessary to completely remove the microbubbles that have already been generated and then pressurize the microbubbles that are generated to prevent the microbubbles from being generated.

Here, in the method of removing air, the pressure of the air present in the air layer above the main body 10 is about 2 kg / cm 2 or more, so it is discharged to atmospheric pressure. Therefore, even if the gas-liquid separator 20 is located at a lower position than the inlet of the mixed gas flow passage 22, the air flows.

The water in the air introduced into the gas-liquid separator 20 is separated by the air upwards due to the specific gravity difference, the air is discharged to the outside through the shielding portion 28, the water is downward of the gas-liquid separator 20 After being collected in the discharge through the gas-liquid separator outlet 29 to the generator (30).

When the water level of the water inside the accommodating part increases, the shield part 28 rises in the air outlet direction by buoyancy so that the shielding film shields the air outlet. In addition, when air is continuously injected into the accommodating part, and the water inside the accommodating part is discharged to the generator through the gas-liquid separator outlet, the beret is lowered by a lower level, and the shielding part is lowered about the hinge axis to lower the air. The outlet is opened and air is exhausted to the outside.

On the other hand, the high-pressure water discharged toward the generator 30 through the outlet 14 is introduced into the first member 40 through the inlet 42 of the generator 30. Water is pulverized while passing through the metal mesh 60 filled in the first member 40.

In particular, the water passing through the discharge port 14 is introduced into the generator is present under the atmospheric pressure conditions, the air in the water compressed to high pressure to the volume of the original volume is generated microbubbles are generated.

The microbubbles are differentiated into the microbubbles while passing through the metal mesh 60. The first member 40 and the metal mesh 60 shield external interference and secure a space so as to provide a high concentration of microbubbles. It plays a part in securing the time and space necessary for this to occur.

The microbubbles differentiated while passing through the metal mesh 60 move along the round surface R and the side surface of the first member 40, and the second member 50 and the first through the outlet 44. It flows into the space between the first member 40, aged for a time and a distance to move along the space between the first member 40 and the second member 50, the inside of the tub through the opening 52 Is put into.

The microbubbles are injected from the generator 30 and do not immediately differentiate into microbubbles. In order to differentiate the air into a small bubble as the volume is reduced by high pressure, a certain delay time must be secured, and a space for preventing external vibration or pressure during this delay time must be secured. This should.

That is, the metal mesh 60 inside the first member 40 serves as a partition wall to form a flow path and prevent external pressure, and water moves along the round surface and side surfaces of the first member 40 to prevent external interference. It provides time to differentiate into bubbles without receiving them.

In addition, the present invention the microbubble generating device is mainly used for the use of a domestic bath, home washing machine and washing machine. This application is a structure that generates microbubbles by circulating the water in the tank, contaminants in the water can easily filter out the generators and other networks, impairing the function of the device, and reaches an unusable point. In order to prevent this, the inlet side also installs a micro filter to prevent clogging, but this is also blocked and eventually impossible to use.

However, in the microbubble generating device of the present invention, the metal mesh is filled inside the generator, and the metal mesh is wide and flexible between the meshes. Pollutants do not accumulate.

The rights of the present invention are not limited to the embodiments described above, but are defined by the claims, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications and adaptations within the scope of the claims. It is self-evident.
