A micro-bubble generator is provided between an input end and an output end of a water outlet device. The micro-bubble generator includes a water inlet member and a water outlet member. A gas inlet gap is remained between the water inlet member and the water outlet member, with the gas inlet gap being communicated to external air, such that the external air is allowed to enter the micro-bubble generator for gas-liquid mixing and generate minute and dense bubbles.

A micro-bubble spray head and a washing apparatus. The micro-bubble spray head includes an integrated spray tube and a micro-bubble bubbler fixed on the outlet end of the integrated spray tube; a throttling passage portion is formed in the integrated spray tube; a plurality of throttling passages parallel to each other and having a uniform cross section are formed in the throttling passage portion along a water stream direction, so that a plurality of water streams can be formed in the plurality of throttling passages parallel to each other and having the uniform cross section and are sprayed out from the outlets of the plurality of throttling passages parallel to each other and having the uniform cross section in an expansion manner, so as to form negative pressure near the outlets; a plurality of air inlets serving as air inlet passages are further provided on the integrated spray tube.

One embodiment provides a wine aerating device, including: a container comprising a bottom that is provided with an outlet aperture having a predetermined size, wherein said container is at least partially filled with a multitude of elements for breaking up and diverting a flow of wine streaming from the top to the bottom of said container, each of said elements having a size at least equal to said predetermined size of said outlet aperture, said size thereby preventing said multitude of elements from passing through said outlet aperture while allowing the passage of wine through said outlet aperture and increasing the wine's turbulent motion and oxigenation while coming out of said container. Other aspects are described and claimed.

The contacting device for countercurrent contacting of fluid streams and having a first pair of intersecting grids of spaced-apart and parallel deflector blades and a second pair of intersecting grids of spaced-apart and parallel deflector blades. The deflector blades in each one of the grids are interleaved with the deflector blades in the paired intersecting grid and may have uncut side portions that join them together along a transverse strip where the deflector blades cross each other or adjacent opposed ends of the deflector blades and cut side portions that extend from the uncut side portions to the ends of the deflector blades. At least some of the deflector blades have directional tabs and associated openings to allow portions of the fluid streams to pass through the deflector blades to facilitate mixing of the fluid streams.

Provided are an internal structure capable of generating fine bubbles without increasing a flow rate, a flow characteristic changing apparatus, and a utilization apparatus thereof. An internal structure which is accommodated in a housing and configured to change characteristics of a fluid with respect to the fluid includes a first internal structure and a second internal structure. The first internal structure has a flow characteristic providing portion having a structure of at least one hollow venturi tube. The second internal structure is in the form of a hollow shaft, accommodates at least a portion of the first internal structure inside the hollow shaft, and has a body portion having a plurality of protrusions formed on an outer surface thereof.
