This invention has the following advantages. Firstly, the gas valve outlet of the portable bubbly water bottle in this invention is connected to the connecting hole at the bottom of the fluid storage space, therefore, the gas would start the gas-liquid mixing from the bottom of the fluid storage space. Through the upward buoyancy force of the bubble, the liquid in the entire fluid storage space could fully contact with the gas, to greatly improve the gas dissolution effect. Secondly, since the gas cylinder gas outlet is placed in the gas cylinder cell adown in this invention, the entire portable bubbly water bottle could be used to strengthen the gas feeding space for enveloping and holding the gas cylinder, and the safety of the bubbly water bottle can be increased.
Moreover, this invention adopts the controlling gas valve design, which could mix the gas and liquid in several times, rather than using up all the gas in the gas cylinder at a time. Therefore, single gas cylinder of this invention could be used for the portable bubbly water bottle for several times. Taking a portable bubbly water bottle with the water capacity of 600 ml as the example, one gas cylinder could be used for 1800 ml liquid for full gas dissolution effect, thus one gas cylinder could be used for the full water mixing for 3 times. In this way, only one portable bubble water bottle can provide an adult's daily intake of water. No need to worry about mixing 1800 ml of bubble water at a time to carry out, which will cause the bubbles in the water to dissipate as the lid opens when drinking, and the problem of excessive load. In addition, as the gas release status can be manually controlled by the user, the user can also adjust the amount of gas-liquid mixture according to their own needs or preferences to achieve the customized effect.
As mentioned above, in the portable bubble water bottle disclosed in the present invention, the second space is included and contained in the first space of the gas cylinder. The first space basically refers to the bottle body composed of the first closed sidewall and the first bottom, therefore, while suing portable bubble water bottle, the gas cylinder is included in the bottle body without being exposed outside, this avoids the danger during using the bubble water bottle. With the entire bottle body for protection, it can increase the safety while using bubble water bottle. In addition, the portable bubble water bottle disclosed in the present invention can greatly improve the gas dissolution effect, increase the safety of bubbly water bottle when it is used, operate easily, dissolve the gas in several times, be easy to carry, reduce the rate of gas escape, and achieve the customized effect.
The above embodiments merely give the detailed technical contents of the present invention and inventive features thereof, and are not to limit the covered range of the present invention. People skilled in this field may proceed with a variety of modifications and replacements based on the disclosures and suggestions of the invention as described without departing from the characteristics thereof.
