LIQUID PURIFIER

Abstract

The present invention relates to a portable liquid purifier for purifying liquid contained in the purifier using an ozone flow that passes through the liquid. The invention comprises a container, an ozone generator built into the base of the container, a blower extending from the ozone generator and provided with blow holes in the lower part of the container, and a standalone power source that does not have to be connected to the network during the operation of the purifier in order to power the ozone generator and the blower. The invention can be used to purify drinks in any location, while camping, hiking, travelling in exotic countries, etc., owing to the bactericidal, viricidal, and fungicidal properties of the ozone, as well as offering the unexpected or additional advantage of performing disinfection in the same container into which the ozone generator is built.

Claims

1. A purifier of liquids comprising: a container, an ozone generator integrated in base of the container, a blower arranged next to the ozone generator comprising blower outlets in lower part of said container, and a stand-alone power supply for the ozone generator and the blower.

2. The purifier of liquids of claim 1, wherein the width of the container is less than its height.

3. The purifier of liquids claim 1, wherein the blower outlets or ducts that feed said outlets comprise non-return valves.

4. The purifier of liquids of claim 1, wherein the autonomous power supply further comprises a portable direct current battery, an oscillator and a voltage booster.

5. The purifier of liquids claim 1, wherein the ozone generator further comprises a corona effect generator.

6. The purifier of liquids claim 1, wherein the blower comprises a turbine coupled to a motor fed by the autonomous power supply to force an air flow through the ozone generator to the blow outings.

7. The purifier of liquids claim 1, further comprising a timer.

8. The purifier of liquids claim 1, wherein the container further comprises a lid.

9. The purifier of liquids of claim 1, further comprises an operating program.

DESCRIPTION OF A PRACTICAL EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0019] The liquid purifier (1) of the invention comprises: [0020] a container (3), [0021] an ozone generator (4) integrated in the base (30) of the container (3), [0022] a blower (5) arranged next to the ozone generator (4) and provided with blower outlets (50) in the lower part of said container (3), and [0023] a stand-alone power supply (6) for the ozone generator (4) and for the blower (5).

[0024] Very preferably, the container (3) has a width less than its height to favor the flow of ozone through the entire volume of liquids with less power consumption of the blower (5) and thus prolong the life of the power supply, while the blow outings (50) or the possible ducts (55) that feed them will incorporate non-return valves (56) to allow the gas to escape due to overpressure, but preventing the liquid from leaking out of them when it is not being produced blowing, preventing the container (3) from emptying.

[0025] Specifically, the autonomous power supply (6) comprises a portable battery (60) (ideally rechargeable). These types of batteries provide direct current power and with a low potential, so in addition, the power supply will have an oscillator (61) (understanding as such any electrical or electronic assembly capable of obtaining a variable current flow from the direct current supplied by the source of supply, and a voltage booster (62), ideally a transformer, so that we obtain a variable voltage current high enough to feed a conventional ozone generator (4), for example one comprising a corona effect generator. The simplest oscillator (61) could be a resonant oscillator or an inverter, for example. The base (30) will be ideally practicable to be able to access for replacement, assembly or repair to any of the elements housed therein. As for the blower (5), it ideally comprises a small turbine (53) coupled to a motor (51) fed by the autonomous power supply (6) to force an air flow through the ozone generator (4) towards the outlets blowing (50). This creates an upward flow through the volume of liquid that performs the disinfection. FIG. 2 shows the interior elements of the purifier (1), including an obvious switch (63) for activation of the operation. In addition, you can incorporate a timer (64) or programmer to cause the disconnection after a while, or even to program an on and off cycle. Also, an outside air intake (54) for air intake for generation of the air flow that will pass through the ozone generator (4).

[0026] Finally, indicate that the container (3) ideally comprises a lid (8) to improve the ozone concentration during disinfection, as well as to preserve and protect the contained liquid. Sufficiently described the nature of the invention, as well as the manner in which it is carried out in practice, it should be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are subject to modifications in detail as long as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
