Description

OSCILLATING WATER TREATMENT DEVICE
The invention belongs to chemistry, namely to treatment of water by means of mechanical oscillations, and optionally by using such oscillations in combination with effects of electric current or electric voltage.
The purpose of the invention is to provide a device for quickly and efficiency eliminating microorganisms in the water when flowing throughout such device, which should also be capable for integration into each disposable water supplying installation.
Anti-bacterial water generator is described in JP 2007175651 A, which comprises a means for generating Ag ions by means of electrolysis, a means for generating bubbles as well as a connecting means for directing said bubbles towards the means for generating Ag ions. Efficiency of such device is concentrated to a narrow local area, so that some greater amount of water may be sterilized only upon maintaining the water within appropriate container during a relatively long time.
The present invention refers to an oscillating water treatment device, which comprises a casing with an inlet passage, through which the water, which is intended to be treated, can intake towards the interior of said casing, as well as an outlet passage, through which appropriately treated water can flow out from said casing.
In accordance with the invention, an oscillating labyrinth is foreseen within said casing, which comprises at least one sequence of parallel and equidistantly apart from each other arranged resilient sheets, which consist of electric conductive material and are adapted to oscillate with each desired frequency and amplitude.
Said oscillating labyrinth is designed in such a manner that at least one bearing member is foreseen within the casing, on which said sheets are attached in the form of cantilevers. The oscillating labyrinth is however preferably designed in such a manner that two bearing members are foreseen within the casing, and each of them is furnished with a sequence of sheets in the form of cantilevers, so that the parallel and equidistantly apart each other arranged sheets of the first bearing member protrude towards the second bearing member.
Moreover, each particular sheet on the first bearing member is located between each two neighboring sheets or adjacent to each two neighboring sheets on the other bearing member, or vice versa.
The casing preferably comprises a tubular section, within which a cylindrical chamber is formed, in which the oscillating labyrinth formed of sheets is located, as well as a base with the outlet passage and a cover with the inlet passage.
Still further, the bearing members are available in the form of screws, which are screwed into the base of the casing and adapted to receive nuts. In such case the cover is interconnected with the base by means of bearing members, while the tubular section is inserted between the base and the cover. Said sheets are adapted to oscillate by means of the electric current and are integrated into appropriate electric circuit by means of said bearing members.
Now the invention will be described in more detail on the basis of an embodiment, which is presented in the attached drawing, wherein
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an oscillating water treatment device;
Fig. 2 is a top view of the device according to Fig. 1; and
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal cross-section through said device along the plane A - A.
A device for treatment of water by means of mechanical oscillations comprises a casing I5 which is furnished with at least one inlet passage 101 and at least one outlet passage 102, and an oscillating labyrinth 2 is moreover foreseen within said casing I5 which comprises a sequence of sheets 21 ', 21"; 22', 22", which are mounted within said casing 1.
In a preferred embodiment, two bearing members 3, 4 are foreseen within the casing I5 which are located apart from each other and on which oscillating sheets 21 ', 21 "; 22', 22" are attached as cantilevers and consisting of an electric conductive material.
Each of said bearing members 3, 4 can be a screw consisting of electric conductive material, which is screwed into the casing 1 and extends longitudinally towards the interior thereof. The first sequence of parallel and equidistantly apart from each other arranged sheets 21', 21" in the form of cantilevers is attached to the first bearing member 3 in order to protrude towards the second bearing member 4, while the second sequence of parallel and equidistantly apart from each other arranged sheets 22', 22" in the form of cantilevers is attached to the second bearing member 4 in order to protrude towards the first bearing member 3. Consequently, each sheet 21', 21" in the first sequence on the first bearing member 3 is then located between two neighboring sheets 22', 22" of the second sequence on the second bearing member 4, namely closely to at least one sheet 22', 22", or vice versa. In such a manner, a labyrinth is formed by means of said sheets 21', 21"; 22', 22", through which then a water flow is established, which is marked by arrows in Fig. 2.
Moreover, at least approximately cylindrical chamber 10 is foreseen within said casing 1, in which said sheets 21 ', 21 "; 22', 22" of both available sequences on both bearing members 3, 4 are located in an alternating manner, wherein in such an embodiment said sheets 21', 21 "; 22', 22" are then available as relatively thin and at least approximately circular discs. In this particular embodiment, said chamber 10 is formed of a cylindrical section, which is by means of screws i.e. bearing members 3, 4 attached between the base 12 of the casing 1, which includes said outlet passage 102, and a cover 13, which is attached to said base 12 by means of nuts 31, 41 on said screws i.e. bearing members 3, 4.
Those skilled in the art should understand that in the case when appropriate electric current or voltage is used for generating oscillation of said sheets 21 ', 21"; 22', 22", the bearing members 3, 4 together with the belonging sheets 21 ', 21 "; 22', 22" and any other possible electric conductive parts are electrically insulated with regard to any other parts of the device according to the invention, to which the user might come into contact during the use.
As soon as said bearing members 3, 4 are exposed to the electric current or any other source for generating oscillations, the oscillations are transmitted to said sheets 21 ', 21"; 22', 22", which due to their deformability and resiliency then start to oscillate. Vibrations are transmitted to each media which is flowing along the sheets 21', 21"; 22', 22", so that by appropriately determined frequency and amplitude of such oscillations the cells of microorganisms, which are present in the water, are then cracked.
