Description

The technical field to which the invention relates

The invention relates to aqua vending with disinfecting ozonation, i. E. to devices for the sale of drinking water using vending machines, in which the disinfecting properties of ozone are used to improve the quality of water, through the controlled supply of quality water paid by the consumer from a common reservoir to the container (capacity) of the water consumer.

State of the art

Known aqua vending apparatus with disinfecting ozone, where ozone is used to disinfect water in a common reservoir, by continuous or periodic bubbling ozone through this water. In this case, the specified reservoir simultaneously performs the function of a bubbler, i.e. contains in its lower part tubes with openings for supplying thin jets of ozone to the water, as a result of which the specified bubbling is carried out in order to disinfect the water in the tank (see the description of the utility model, for example, according to patent RU No. 113043 U1, IPC G07F13 / 00, published on January 27, 2012 bull. No. 3; according to RU patent No. 138563 U1, IPC G07F15 / 00, published on 03/20/2014, bull. No. 8; according to RU patent No. 173506 U1 IPC G07F13 / 00, published on August 29, 2017 bull. No. 25 ).

Signs of any of the listed known aqua vending machines, common with the features of the claimed technical solution, are the presence of an ozone generator.

The reason that prevents the technical result obtained in the known aquavending apparatus, which is provided by the claimed technical solution, is the limited functionality of the apparatus in the context of the implementation of disinfecting measures using ozone, since ozone is used only for bubbling water.

No. 10).

The features of the known ozonizer-water pump (prototype), which are common with the features of the claimed technical solution, are that it contains an ozone generator, a filling chamber and a supply pipe installed in the upper part of the filling chamber.

The reason that prevents the technical result obtained in the known ozonizer-water machine, which is provided by the claimed technical solution, is that ozone is used in it only for cleaning pipelines and taps.

The technical problem to be solved by the claimed technical solution is to expand the arsenal of technical means for the preparation of drinking water using ozone as a disinfectant gas, characterized by wider functional possibilities of using ozone.

Disclosure of the essence of the invention

The technical result, which mediates the solution of the specified technical problem, consists in the implementation of the specified purpose by creating wider opportunities for the use of ozone, namely, for ozone disinfection of the loading chamber and container of the water buyer.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the claimed ozonizer-vodomat contains an ozone generator, a filling chamber and a supply pipe installed in the upper part of the filling chamber, so that the supply pipe has two inlets located outside the inner cavity of the filling chamber, an outlet located in the inner cavity of the filling chamber , and is intended for simultaneous or separate in time supply of ozone and water to the loading chamber, while the first inlet of the said branch pipe is connected to the ozone generator by means of an ozone supply pipeline with the possibility of preventing water from entering the ozone generator, and the second inlet of the supply branch pipe is intended for supplying water ...

Brief Description of Drawings

The drawing shows a diagram of the claimed ozonizer-water pump.

Implementation of the invention

The ozonizer-vodomat contains an ozone generator 1, a kapan 2 to prevent water from entering the ozone generator 1, a loading chamber 3 with an upper part 4, a supply pipe 5 having an outlet 6 and two inlets 7 and 8, a pipeline 9 for ozone supply. The inlet 7 of the branch pipe 5 is connected to the ozone generator 1 by means of a pipeline 9, in the rupture of which valve 2 is included. The inlet 8 of the branch pipe 5 is adapted to be connected to the water source 10 using the pipeline 11. The branch pipe 5 is installed in the upper part 4 of the filling chamber 3. Inputs 7 and 8 of the branch pipe 5 are located outside the inner cavity of the chamber 3. The outlet 6 of the branch pipe 5 is located in the inner cavity of the chamber 3.

Water source. may have different executions. This can be a tank with imported drinking water or a tank filled with water taken from a water supply system, which has been appropriately cleaned and treated. This can be the outlet of the filter unit, to the inlet of which water from the water supply is directly supplied.

The ozone generator 1 can also have different designs. But it usually contains a spark gap that directly generates ozone, a high voltage current source for powering the spark gap, and a fan or air compressor (not shown).

Water filling chamber 3 is a container with a supply pipe 5 installed in its upper part 4, designed for simultaneous or separate (in time) supply of ozone and water to chamber 3. The pipe 5 is preferably made in the form of a classic tee having one common outlet tube 6 for the outlet of water and ozone. However, it can be designed so that the outlet 6 is two tubes - one for water, the other for ozone. In this case, the outlet tubes 6 can have a different arrangement relative to each other: 1) they can be located parallel to each other with direct abutment to each other by their outer generatrices or without this abutment, 2) they can be located axially (a tube in a tube).

The valve 2 is designed in such a way that it prevents the possibility of water entering the pipeline 9 and, accordingly, the ozone generator 1. In this case, it can be made in the form of a check valve or in the form of an electrically controlled valve controlled by a controller (not shown).

The work of the ozonizer-water pump is possible in three modes.

In the first mode, the consumer installs his container 12 in the chamber 3 and starts the process of dispensing water using a user interface (not shown). The controller (not shown) includes the simultaneous supply of ozone from the generator 1 and water from the source 10 to the branch pipe 5 through the corresponding inputs 7 and 8. In the branch pipe 5 ozone and water mix and exit through the common outlet 6 of the branch pipe 5, as a result of which water is disinfected in stream (dynamic water disinfection). When leaving the nozzle 5 (through outlet 6), water enters the container 12, and ozone comes out of the water and evaporates. Thus, the contact of water with ozone is carried out only in the nozzle 5, which is why it is minimal in time, so that this is sufficient for disinfecting water, but at the same time, the harmful effect of ozone associated with its high oxidizing ability with respect to those substances does not appear. are inevitably present in water.

In the second mode, the consumer installs his container 12 in the chamber 3 and starts the process of dispensing water using a user interface (not shown). After that, in automatic mode, the controller (not shown) turns on the ozone generator 1 for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds). Ozone flows through the pipeline 9 through the open valve 2 to the inlet 7 of the branch pipe 5 and then to the outlet 6 of this branch pipe and to the container 12. As a result, within a given time (10 seconds), the ozone entering the container 12 in this way disinfects the internal the cavity of this container. After the specified time (10 seconds) has elapsed, the controller turns off the ozone generator 1 and turns on the water supply from the source 10 through the pipeline 11 to the inlet 8 of the branch pipe 5 and then to the outlet 6 of this branch pipe and to the container 12. At the same time, due to the presence of valve 2, water does not enters the pipeline 9 and, accordingly, the ozone generator 1, which could fail if water gets into it. After filling container 12 with water, the controller stops supplying water.

In the third mode, when there is no container 12 in chamber 3, the controller turns on the ozone generator 1 for a specified time (for example, 10 seconds). Ozone flows through the pipeline 9 through the open valve 2 to the inlet 7 of the branch pipe 5 and then to the outlet 6 of this branch pipe and into the chamber 3. As a result, within a given time (10 seconds), the ozone entering the chamber 3 disinfects the internal cavity of this cameras. After the specified time has elapsed, the controller turns off the ozone generator 1.

Any combinations of the above-described operating modes of the ozonizer-water-pump are also possible in accordance with the programs stored in the controller's memory, which additionally expands the functionality of the ozonator-water pump.
