Abstract

The present disclosure provides a microbubble generation container and a water discharging device. The container includes a barrel main body, an excitation member and an elastic member. The barrel main body is provided with a water inlet, a water outlet and a connecting port. The excitation member is movably arranged in the barrel main body, and includes a partition plate and a sealing portion. The partition plate divides an inner space of the barrel main body into a first chamber and a second chamber, and a water passage for communicating the first chamber with the second chamber is arranged on the partition plate. The water passage enables water flowing by to form water droplets and be ejected. The sealing portion opens and closes the connecting port with a motion of the excitation member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A microbubble generation container, comprising a barrel main body, an exciter and a spring, wherein
the barrel main body is provided with a water inlet, a water outlet, a guide hole and a connecting port;
the exciter is movably arranged in the barrel main body, and comprises:
a partition plate configured to divide an inner space of the barrel main body into a first chamber and a second chamber, wherein the water inlet is communicated to the first chamber; the water outlet and the connecting port are both communicated to the second chamber; the partition plate is provided with a water passage for communicating the first chamber with the second chamber, wherein the water passage enables water flowing by to form water droplets and be ejected;
a guide rod extending from a surface, facing the connecting port and the guide hole, of the partition plate, wherein one end of the guide rod is movably arranged in the guide hole; and
an annular sealing rib protruded from a sidewall of the guide rod, wherein the sealing rib is configured to open and close the connecting port with a motion of the guide rod;

the spring is configured to act on the exciter to drive the exciter to move towards the water inlet, so as to remove the sealing rib from the connecting port to open the connecting port;
wherein the exciter is driven to move towards the connecting port under an impact force of water entering the first chamber from the water inlet on the partition plate when the impact force overcomes an elastic force of the spring, so as to make the sealing rib be able to close the connecting port.

2. The microbubble generation container according to claim 1 , wherein the guide rod is movably arranged in the guide hole in a penetrating manner.

3. The microbubble generation container according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing rib is configured to cooperate with the guide rod to close the connecting port.

4. The microbubble generation container according to claim 3 , wherein the barrel main body further comprises a connecting pipe section and a supporting plate;
one end of the connecting pipe section is communicated with the second chamber, and the connecting port is formed in the one end of the connecting pipe section; an other end of the connecting pipe section is communicated to the outside of the barrel main body;
the supporting plate is connected to the inside of the connecting pipe section and is away from the connecting port;
the supporting plate is provided with the guide hole and a plurality of through holes; wherein the sealing rib is configured to move into the connecting pipe section to close the connecting port, or move out of the connecting pipe section to open the connecting port.

5. The microbubble generation container according to claim 4 , wherein one end of the connecting pipe section communicated to the barrel main body extends into the barrel main body, to make a height difference between the connecting port and the water outlet.

6. The microbubble generation container according to claim 4 , wherein the spring sleeves the guide rod and is located between the supporting plate and the sealing rib.

7. The microbubble generation container according to claim 4 , wherein the exciter further comprises a sealing ring annularly arranged on an outer circumferential wall of the sealing rib; wherein when the sealing rib moves into the connecting pipe section to close the connecting port, the sealing ring is located between the outer circumferential wall of the sealing rib and the inner circumferential wall of the connecting pipe section to improve the sealing performance.

8. The microbubble generation container according to claim 1 , wherein a flow rate of the water inlet is greater than that of the water passage.

9. The microbubble generation container according to claim 1 , wherein a limiting rib is arranged on one end, close to the water inlet, of an inner circumferential wall of the barrel main body; and the limiting rib is configured to limit the partition plate to move between an end surface of the barrel main body and the limiting rib.

10. The microbubble generation container according to claim 1 , wherein the water passage comprises a first passage, a second passage, and a third passage which are communicated in sequence;
a plurality of first passages are arranged around the second passage;
a flowing cross-sectional area from one end of the second passage communicated to the first passage to one end communicated to the third passage gradually decreases; and
a flowing cross-sectional area from one end of the third passage communicated to the second passage to one end away from the second passage gradually increases.

11. The microbubble generation container according to claim 10 , wherein the first passages are slantways arranged.

12. The microbubble generation container according to claim 1 , wherein the microbubble generation container further comprises a dissolved air release body arranged in the barrel main body and located at the water outlet; wherein the dissolved air release body is internally provided with a plurality of flow guide passages that are configured for releasing air dissolved in water flowing out of the water outlet, so as to generate microbubble water with extremely small bubbles from the water flowing out of the water outlet.

13. The microbubble generation container according to claim 12 , wherein each flow guide passage comprises a pressurization section, a throat section, and a pressure relief section which are communicated in turn, wherein a flowing cross-sectional area from a water inlet end to a water outlet end of the pressurization section gradually decreases; a flowing cross-sectional area from a water inlet end to a water outlet end of the throat section is roughly equal, a flowing cross-sectional area from a water inlet end to a water outlet end of the pressure relief section gradually increases; the water inlet end of the pressurization section is configured to receive the water flowing out of the water outlet.
