Description

Bubble Discharge Container {BUBBLE DISCHARGE CONTAINER}

The present invention relates to a foam spray container.

In general, a foam spray container forms bubbles by sucking in the liquid contained in the container body through a pump or piston, while simultaneously mixing gas such as air, and can spray the bubbles to the outside of the foam spray container. Here, the liquid may be a foaming liquid such as liquid soap.

Such a foam spray container must be equipped with a separate part for gas mixing, for example, a gas intake part including a flow path for gas intake.

In addition, in a typical foam spray container, the size of the flow path for gas intake is constant, so the mixing ratio of gas and liquid is fixed, so it may be difficult to control the amount of foam sprayed.

The present invention was created to solve the problems of the prior art as described above. One purpose of the present invention is to form bubbles even without separate parts, and to control the amount of foam by adjusting the mixing ratio of liquid and gas. It is intended to provide a foam spray container.

A foam spray container according to one aspect of the present invention includes a container body containing a liquid; a pumping member that suctions the liquid contained in the container body; a tube that supplies gas and liquid to the pumping member by operation of the pumping member; and a spray module coupled to the inlet of the container body and spraying bubbles mixed with the gas and the liquid, wherein the tube includes a first fluid inlet disposed adjacent to the bottom of the container body; and a second fluid inlet disposed at an upper end connected to the pumping member, wherein the first fluid inlet and the second fluid inlet suction different one of the gas and the liquid, and the second fluid inlet is The amount of foam can be adjusted by adjusting the open area.

Specifically, by moving the connection cap up and down, the combined length of the connection pipe and the tube may be adjusted, thereby adjusting the open area of the second intake port.

Specifically, when the connection cap moves downward, the combined length of the connection pipe and the tube increases, thereby reducing the open area of the second fluid inlet, and when the connection cap moves upward, the connection pipe and the tube increase. The combined length of the tube may be reduced to increase the open area of the second fluid inlet.

Specifically, when the container body is erected vertically, the first fluid intake port sucks liquid, and the second fluid intake port sucks gas, and when the container body is turned over, the first fluid intake port is The gas may be sucked in, and the second fluid intake port may suck the liquid.

Specifically, with the container body standing vertically, when the open area of the second fluid inlet increases, the mixing ratio of the gas and the liquid increases, thereby increasing the amount of foam discharged from the spray module, and the second fluid inlet increases. When the open area of the fluid inlet decreases, the mixing ratio of the gas and the liquid decreases, thereby reducing the amount of foam discharged from the spray module.

Specifically, in a state where the container body is turned over, when the open area of the second fluid inlet increases, the mixing ratio of the gas and the liquid decreases, thereby reducing the amount of foam discharged from the spray module, and the second fluid When the open area of the inlet decreases, the mixing ratio of the gas and the liquid increases, thereby increasing the amount of foam discharged from the spray module.

The foam spray container according to the present invention can spray foam without requiring separate parts.

A shape in which the upper diameter or width is smaller than the lower diameter or width may be formed throughout the length section (or height section) of the container body 100, but is not limited to this. For example, a shape in which the upper diameter or width is smaller than the lower diameter or width may be included only in a portion of the length section (or height section) of the container body 100.

In addition, the container body 100 has a form in which a portion of the upper portion is open, and threads or thread grooves may be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the upper portion, and may be coupled to the spray module 400 through the thread or thread groove.

The pumping member 200 may discharge the liquid L within the container body 100 to the outside through the spray nozzle 430 of the spray module 400. The pumping member 200 may be formed integrally with the spray module 400, but is not limited thereto. For example, the pumping member 200 is provided in an open area of the upper part of the container body 100 and may be located independently from the spray module 400.

The pumping member 200 may include a cylinder (not shown) installed to extend inward from the top of the container body 100, and a piston unit (not shown) slidably inserted into the cylinder. The cylinder and piston unit are used in ordinary pumping members, etc., and their detailed description will be omitted.

The tube 300 is connected to the lower part of the pumping member 200 and may have a shape extending to the lower part of the container body 100. The tube 300 may be installed to substantially communicate with the cylinder of the pumping member 200. The tube 300 can suck the liquid (L) inside the container body 100 by the operation of the pumping member 200 and supply the sucked liquid (L) to the pumping member 200.

The tube 300 may include a first fluid inlet 310 disposed adjacent to the bottom surface of the container body 100 and a second fluid inlet 320 disposed at the top connected to the pumping member 200. there is.

The tube 300 may suck in liquid or gas through the first fluid inlet 310 depending on the state of the container body 100 and supply it to the pumping member 200. For example, when the bottom surface of the container body 100 faces downward, that is, when the container body 100 is standing vertically, the tube 300 sucks liquid through the first fluid inlet 310 and pumps it. It can be supplied as a member (200). In addition, when the bottom surface of the container body 100 faces upward, that is, when the container body 100 is turned over, the tube 300 sucks gas through the first fluid inlet 310 and pumps the pumping member 200. ) can be supplied.

The tube 300 may suck in gas or liquid through the second fluid inlet 320 depending on the state of the container body 100 and supply it to the pumping member 200. For example, when the bottom surface of the container body 100 faces downward, that is, when the container body 100 is standing vertically, the tube 300 sucks gas through the second fluid inlet 320 and pumps it. It can be supplied as a member (200). In addition, when the bottom surface of the container body 100 is facing upward, that is, when the container body 100 is turned over, the tube 300 sucks liquid through the second fluid inlet 320 and pumps the pumping member 200. ) can be supplied.

As described above, the first fluid inlet 310 and the second fluid inlet 320 can suction different fluids, allowing the tube 300 to supply a mixture of liquid and gas to the pumping member 200. there is.

Meanwhile, the open area of the second fluid inlet 320 can be adjusted by the combined length of the tube 300 and the spray module 400. Here, as the open area of the second fluid inlet 320 increases, the amount of fluid sucked through the second fluid inlet 320 may increase. Additionally, if the open area of the second fluid inlet 320 is reduced, the amount of fluid sucked through the second fluid inlet 320 may be reduced.

For example, when the container body 100 is standing vertically, the amount of liquid sucked through the first fluid intake port 310 may be constant. In this case, when the open area of the second fluid inlet 320 increases, the amount of gas sucked through the second fluid inlet 320 increases and is sprayed through the spray nozzle 430 of the spray module 400. As the amount of gas contained in the fluid increases, the amount of bubbles may increase. In addition, when the open area of the second fluid inlet 320 decreases, the amount of gas sucked through the second fluid inlet 320 decreases, and the amount of gas injected through the spray nozzle 430 of the spray module 400 decreases. Since the amount of gas contained in the fluid decreases, the amount of bubbles may decrease, as shown in FIG. 6.

Additionally, when the container body 100 is turned over, the amount of gas sucked through the first fluid intake port 310 may be constant. In this case, when the open area of the second fluid inlet 320 increases, the amount of liquid sucked through the second fluid inlet 320 increases and is sprayed through the spray nozzle 430 of the spray module 400. As the amount of liquid included in the fluid increases, the amount of foam may decrease. In addition, when the open area of the second fluid inlet 320 decreases, the amount of liquid sucked through the second fluid inlet 320 decreases, and the amount of liquid injected through the spray nozzle 430 of the spray module 400 decreases. As the amount of liquid contained in the fluid decreases, the amount of foam may increase, as shown in FIG. 7.

The spray module 400 includes a body 410 coupled to the pumping member 200, an operating lever 420 connected to a part of the body 410 to operate the pumping member 200, and a part of the body 410.

That is, the upper part of the connection tube 440 may be connected to the connection cap 415 of the body 410, and the lower part may be coupled to the upper end of the tube 300.

By moving the connection cap 415 up and down, the combined length of the connection pipe 440 and the tube 300 changes, thereby adjusting the open area of the second fluid intake port 320.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the connection cap 415 moves toward the top, that is, away from the container body 100, the combined length of the connection pipe 440 and the tube 300 decreases. , the open area of the second fluid intake port 320 may increase. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, when the connection cap 415 moves downward and the combined length of the connection pipe 440 and the tube 300 increases, the open area of the second fluid inlet 320 increases. may decrease.

The user operates the operating lever 420 of the spray module 400 to cause the pumping member 200 to operate so that the liquid L contained in the container body 100 is sprayed together with the gas nozzle of the spray module 400. Foam can be formed by spraying through 430).

Here, the amount of foam can be determined by the mixing ratio of gas and liquid (L).

When a sufficient amount of liquid L is contained within the container body 100, the user can use the container body 100 by standing it vertically. When the container body 100 is standing vertically, liquid L can be sucked in from the first fluid intake port 310 and gas can be sucked in from the second fluid intake port 320.

When the container body 100 is standing vertically, the amount of liquid sucked through the first fluid inlet 310 is constant, so as shown in FIG. 3, the connection cap 415 moves upward to inject the second fluid. As the open area of the intake port 320 increases, the amount of gas sucked increases, the mixing ratio of gas and liquid (L) increases, and the amount of bubbles may increase. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, when the connection cap 415 moves downward and the open area of the second fluid inlet 320 decreases, the amount of gas intake decreases and the mixing ratio of gas and liquid (L) decreases. decreases, and the amount of foam may decrease.

If the liquid (L) inside the container body 100 is consumed and the container body 100 is difficult to use in a vertical state, or depending on the user's needs, the user may use the container body 100 in an upside-down state. there is. When the container body 100 is turned over, gas can be sucked in from the first fluid intake port 310 and liquid L can be sucked in from the second fluid intake port 320.

When the container body 100 is turned over, the amount of gas sucked through the first fluid intake port 310 may be constant. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, when the connection cap 415 moves upward and the open area of the second fluid intake port 320 increases, the intake amount of liquid (L) increases, thereby increasing the gas and liquid (L) ), the mixing ratio may decrease and the amount of foam may decrease. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, when the connection cap 415 moves downward and the open area of the second fluid intake port 320 decreases, the intake amount of liquid (L) decreases and the gas and liquid (L) The mixing ratio increases and the amount of foam may increase.

As described above, the foam spray container according to an embodiment of the present invention does not have separate parts, and is discharged from the first fluid inlet 310 through the second fluid inlet 320 formed at the top of the tube 300. Bubbles can be formed by inhaling a fluid that is different from the fluid being inhaled.

In addition, the foam spray container according to an embodiment of the present invention adjusts the open area of the second fluid inlet 320 by moving the connection cap 415 up and down, thereby adjusting the amount of foam sprayed from the spray nozzle 430. It can be adjusted. That is, by adjusting the open area of the second fluid inlet 320, the user can ensure that a desired amount of foam is sprayed from the spray nozzle 430.
