[0031] In summary, as illustrated in FIGS. 1-12, the invention provides a motor-driven water lifting device, which comprises a motor and a water lifting device connected to the motor. The water lifting device comprises a housing consisting of two shells with an accommodation chamber defined therein, a water-lifting wheel mounted in the accommodation chamber, a water supply pipe disposed at the periphery of the housing and having a water inlet for guiding water into the accommodation chamber and a water outlet for guiding water out of the accommodation chamber, and an air inlet hole located on the water supply pipe for allowing an external gas such as air, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, oxygen or ozone gas to be filled into the accommodation chamber of the housing so that when water is guided through the water inlet into the accommodation chamber, the intake water is agitated by the water-lifting wheel and mixed with the external gas in the accommodation chamber to form a bubble water. The water molecules of the bubble water are finely mixed by mixing with the gas, and the fine bubble water is suitable for cleaning various objects to achieve an optimized cleaning effect.

[0032] Further, the fine bubble water can be applied to the cleaning of various fields and various objects, such as: business travel home life, agricultural planting, aquaculture, animal husbandry, industrial equipment cleaning, sewage treatment purposes. Further, as described above, the housing is composed of two shells, each shell comprising an axle hole at the center in communication with the accommodation chamber, two arched bearing holder plates protruded from an outer surface thereof, a bearing chamber defined in the outer surface between the two arched bearing holder plates and two channels defined between the two arched bearing holder plates at two opposite sides. Further, the water-lifting wheel comprises a wheel body, a plurality of vanes spaced around the periphery of the wheel body rotated with the wheel body to lift water out of the accommodation chamber through the water outlet of the water supply pipe, a wheel axle located at the center of said wheel body and axially extended out of two opposite sides of the wheel body and pivotally coupled to the axle holes of the shells of the housing, and a plurality of axle bearings respectively mounted on two opposite ends of the wheel axle and respectively accommodated in the bearing chambers of the housing. This arrangement facilitates removal of the axle bearings for replacement or repair to extend the lifespan of the motor. The design of the air inlet hole of the water lifting device allows an external gas to be filled into the accommodation chamber to mix with the intake water so that a bubble water can be produced for cleaning foods and other various objects. The production of fine bubble water for food cleaning has great business opportunities in the healthy eating market, so the present application is filed for patent to seek patent protection.
