Pneumatically operated valve for carbonation machine
10307718 · 2019-06-04 · ·

A carbonation machine includes a pneumatic chamber with a movable wall. The wall moves outward to depress a pin of a gas release valve of a gas canister that is held in a canister holder of the machine when air pressure in the chamber is increased. An air release valve is closable to retain air in the chamber. An air pump is operable to pump air from the ambient atmosphere into the chamber so as to increase air pressure in the chamber. A controller is configured to close the air release valve and to operate the air pump to increase the air pressure in the chamber to move the movable wall outward to open the gas release valve of the canister to cause release of gas from the canister to carbonate a liquid, and to open the air release valve to enable the gas release valve to close.

Dissolved hydrogen liquid-discharging pot and method for generating pressurized dissolved hydrogen liquid

A dissolved hydrogen liquid-discharging pot makes it easier for a user to use hydrogen water by making the pot capable of discharging or spraying a liquid in which hydrogen is dissolved continuously for a constant period at a prescribed pressure. The internal pressure of a pressure chamber, the volume of which has been subdivided by an indicator line on a pot body, is maintained with hydrogen, which is generated by a hydrogen-generating agent disposed in a hydrogen-generating section, at a discharge pressure that is sufficient to discharge all of the liquid inside a bottle section while an on-off valve that opens and closes a discharge tube is closed, and when the on-off valve is opened intermittently or continuously, at a pressure sufficient for continuing discharge of the liquid inside the bottle section and performing continuous discharge of dissolved hydrogen liquid until the bottom of the bottle section is reached.

DEVICE FOR MIXING A BEVERAGE WITH A GAS
20240269631 · 2024-08-15 · ·

The invention relates to a device (5) for mixing a beverage with a gas, comprising a gas providing unit (101), a pressure indication device (50) fluidically connectable with a gas cartridge (100) of the gas providing unit (101), such that the first pressure prevails in the pressure indication device (50), and a gas line (7), such that the gas is feedable in a liquid container (9) via the gas line (7), such that the beverage is mixed with the gas when the beverage resides in the liquid container (9). The pressure indication device (50) is configured to be at least in a first state indicating a high quantity of gas in the gas cartridge (100) and in a second state indicating a low quantity of gas in the gas cartridge (100). The state of the pressure indication device (50) indicates whether the first pressure is above or below a predefined threshold.

DETECTION DEVICE AND DETECTION METHOD FOR AMOUNT OF REMAINING GAS OF SODA WATER MACHINE
20180357881 · 2018-12-13 ·

A detection device for an amount of remaining gas of a soda water machine includes a remaining gas amount sensor, a signal transmitter and a gas bottle sensing device. The remaining gas amount sensor detects the amount of remaining gas in a gas bottle of the soda water machine. When the amount of remaining gas in the gas bottle is lower than a predetermined value, the signal transmitter sends an alert signal to a user. The gas bottle sensing device detects whether the gas bottle is disposed on the soda water machine. The detection device and detection method using the above detection device for an amount of remaining gas of a soda water machine are capable of solving the issue that the gas bottle cannot be immediately replaced once the user discovers that the gas in a gas bottle connected to a soda water machine is insufficient.

Portable Bubble Water Bottle
20180296990 · 2018-10-18 ·

A portable bubble water bottle of the present application includes a first space, a second space, an one-way gas valve and a gas bottle. The second space is located in the first space along the first projected direction. The one-way gas valve connects the first space with the second space. The gas bottle is located in the second space, and has a gas outlet connected to the one-way gas valve.

Portable carbonating dispensers

A portable carbonating dispenser utilizes an onboard supply of carbonation gas and a carbonation control module for permitting a user to carbonate base liquid stored in an onboard base liquid container. The carbonation control module may include a user actuated button for selectively activating the carbonation. The base liquid container may include an extended portion for increasing the exposure of base liquid to carbonation gas. A vertical viewing window enables a user to view carbonation and the level of base liquid in the container. An isolation component may be useful to isolate an additive cartridge from carbonation pressure during carbonation in applications where the dispenser utilizes additive cartridges. Safety venting and locking features may be provided on the mode selector to prevent a user from accidentally pressurizing the cartridge space. A refill station may be provided to refill the portable carbonating dispenser.
