Description

[0001] Apparatus of generating micro bubble [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a micro bubble generating device, and more particularly, to a micro bubble generating device installed in a faucet such as a home, a restaurant, or a food manufacturing facility to clean dishes, fruits, vegetables, .

MICRO BUBBLE refers to ultrafine bubbles which can not be visually recognized because they have a size of several micrometers or less, for example, 50 micrometers or less.

Conventional bubbles (bubbles, water droplets) present in water usually rupture on the surface of water after rising to the surface of water.

However, it is known that micro bubbles are extinguished by generating various energy while being reduced by pressure in water.

Therefore, microbubbles have been widely used in applications such as the use of improving the washing power, the cleaning application for doubling the effect of the bath, and the purification of the water quality.

For this reason, researches on micro bubble generator have been actively conducted.

The micro bubble generating device is roughly classified into a method using ultrasonic waves and a method based on mutual collision between water and air, and the latter method is widely used.

However, the technologies known to date are actually complicated and large-sized, so that it is difficult for the general public to handle them easily. Especially when it is difficult to use for cleaning fruits, vegetables or dishes in general households or restaurants, Improvement is urgent.

Of course, the number of the connection holes 121 is not limited to two but may be one or more.

A first suction path 122 communicating with the connection pipe 130 is formed in an upper end of the second body part 120.

The first suction passage 122 is a passage through which water supplied from a water supply connected to the connection pipe 130 flows into the interior of the first suction passage 122. The rotary body 200 to be described later is rotatably installed inside.

Here, a lid 150 is provided at the upper end of the second body part 120 to block the upper part of the first suction path 122.

A second suction path 111 is formed between the first body part 110 and the second body part 120 to allow air to flow through the upper end of the first body part 110.

The second suction passage 111 communicates with the bubble generation chamber 123 formed in the lower end of the second body portion 120 to move the air introduced from the outside to the lower portion of the second body portion 120 .

The bubble generation chamber 123 is formed in the lower end of the second body 120 and the bubble generation plate 400 to be described later is installed at the lower end of the bubble generation chamber 123, And the air introduced from the second suction passage 111 are mixed to generate micro bubbles.
