Description

The invention relates to a device for cleaning and / or revitalizing treatment of drinkable liquids, in particular drinking water, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Such a device is, for example, with the going back to the same applicant DE 202 03 596 U1 become known, in which a flow disk is arranged in a liquid flow, which is connected to at least one information body. The flow disk directs the liquid flow in the radial direction, so that at least partially an information body arranged in the interior is flowed around. As a result of the intensive flow around the information body, the liquid absorbs certain information from the information body and transfers it to the liquid to be cleaned and revitalized.

With the going back to the same applicant DE 10 2004 057 948 B4 Also, a device for the treatment of particular drinkable liquids is described, in which also a flow disk is arranged downstream of a granular storage and thus transmits the information flowing around the liquid granules information in the liquid flowing around.

The known device essentially consists of a cylindrical housing with an upper part and an inlet opening arranged there and a lower part and a discharge opening arranged there, wherein at least one flow disk was present in the housing.

It has been found that the fluidization of fluids for the purpose of supplying information for the cleansing and revitalizing treatment of fluids is of great importance, because by this treatment the enjoyability of the treated fluid can be increased.

However, the devices mentioned above are only insufficiently suitable to fluidize and harmonize the liquid in the desired manner.

The invention is therefore the object of developing a device for improving the quality of drinkable liquids so that a significantly improved quality of the liquid can be achieved.

The solution of the problem is achieved by the technical teaching of claim. 1

The improvement according to the invention is based on the division of the liquid stream entering the device into at least two axial turbulence channels, which are arranged antiparallel to one another, wherein the fluid flowing through is swirled in each turbulence channel and the two fluid streams displaced in the spin flow into the outlet side, so that the liquid stream formed therefrom forms the flow of a double helix.

It is particularly advantageous if the swirl of the liquid flow in a swirling channel is set against the swirl of the liquid flow in the other swirling channel.

It may additionally be provided that in addition to the inlet-side division of the liquid flow into two different Verwirbelungskanäle a flow through an inlet-side chamber is provided, are arranged in the information transmission granules.

Basis for the interpretation according to the invention is the finding of the Institute of Flow Sciences that harmonic water is not pure right or left-handed water. There are physical systems in that the veins are circulating on the right (disposal) and the arteries are circulating on the left (supply) so as to support the flow of the blood and the activity of the heart. The blood is about 90% water. It directly takes over the dynamics of the water that is drunk. This is equivalent to a transfer of the laws of nature to the body.

The inflowing liquid passes primarily through a metal screen which is filled with various granules. As a result, a first filtering and cleaning of the liquid takes place. Thereafter, the liquid flow is divided into two parallel strands, which helically rotate around each other, once left-handed and once right-handed. The inlet opening is larger than the outlet opening, so that the rotating water is greatly accelerated. At the exit end the parallel streams combine to form a colloidal water.

In the new invention, it has been found that this type of turbulence generates a significantly increased efficiency, since the inflowing liquid flows through first through the granules informed, then swirled into the two channels and then reunites the left- and right-handed liquid. This results in a significant improvement in fluidity. As a shape for a housing, an oval cross-section is preferred, wherein the housing is preferably formed in one piece.

It has at its upper inlet end on an internal thread, with which the housing can be screwed into the outlet nozzle of a shower, a tap or other liquid-dispensing fitting, device or the like.

However, the invention is not limited thereto. This housing can also be screwed to the water outlet of a water outlet fitting or arranged as Flaschenausgießer at the bottleneck of a bottle or at the outlet of a pot.

The embodiments, which are limited to mounting on a water outlet fitting, are characterized by the fact that the housing is traversed by water under water line pressure, which ensures r good flow performance.

Of course, the invention is not limited to the refining of water, but it can be refined all drinkable liquids, provided that they either pass through the housing under relatively high pressure or for a certain amount of time.

Such drinkable liquids would be z. As mineral water, fruit juices and alcoholic drinks and the like.

According to one feature of the invention, the swirler according to the invention consists of an approximately cylindrical housing sleeve, which has an internal bore, in which a Verwirblerteil is arranged, which consists of two conically arranged at an angle swirl channels, starting from a common inlet chamber two according to a feature of the invention take separate fluid streams, wherein in the one swirling channel a right-handed thread and in the other swirling channel a left-handed thread is arranged.

The two swirling channels are separated from one another by a dividing wall via a certain inlet section, and the cone angle of the two swirling channels arranged at an angle to one another is selected such that they join together in the outlet region, so that a right-turning swirling channel in the region of a connecting line extending in the longitudinal direction comes into contact with the other, left-turning Verwirbelungskanal. and the two channels merge on the outlet side.

In the region of the axial union section, the left-handed liquid flow mixes from one swirling channel with the right-handed liquid flow from the other. There is then after unification an outlet side double-helical liquid flow whose physical properties are well above those known only just fluidized fluid streams.

The advantages associated with the double-helical fluid flow have already been explained above.

It is important in the invention, therefore, that the left and the right side rotating fluid flow in the swirler combined with each other over a certain unification path and then connects in a collection chamber as a double-helical flow and expires at the outlet side of the swirler.

According to a preferred feature of the present invention, it is provided that inlet side, d. H. as the upstream of the Verwirblerteils still takes place an additional treatment of the incoming liquid in the turbulizer.

Such a treatment can be done by arranging an additional information transmission source on the inlet side of the swirl part with the two swirl channels arranged left and right.

Such an information transmission source can for example consist of a screen basket, in the interior of which suitable information-transmitting bodies are arranged. Such bodies may be formed as granules, in particular using types of granules which are insoluble in water but which are capable of transmitting information to the liquid stream which flows around the granules.

Instead of the arrangement of granules and other liquid-flushed information body can be provided, such. As sleeve-shaped, pyramidal or polygonal body, which consist of suitable hydrophobic materials, so that it does not depend on the exact contents of the screen basket. The screen basket also takes over a pre-cleaning of the incoming liquid flow, because coarse impurities are filtered out.

In a third embodiment, it may even be provided that the screen basket is empty in its interior and that the granules or other objects flowed around by the liquid are dispensed with and only filtering takes place.

In this case, the strainer basket would only be provided for filtering out or retaining coarse constituents in the liquid to be treated.

In another embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the screen basket is arranged in addition to or alone at the outlet end of the swirler, ie it is then not flowed through by the inlet-side liquid flow, but rather by the double-helical liquid flow, which at the outlet end of the Swirl part results.

Incidentally, the invention is not limited to a Verwirblerteil which is arranged in the central inner bore of the swirler and which forms two conically entangled Verwirbelungskanäle.

Instead of the arrangement of two conically arranged and at the outlet end merging Verwirbelungskanälen also three such Verwirbelungskanäle distributed uniformly on the circumference of the Verwirblerteils be arranged.

In a further embodiment, it may even be provided that four or more swirl channels uniformly distributed on the circumference pass through the material cross section of the swirl part and it is assumed that all swirl channels converge conically towards one another in the direction of the outlet end in a collection chamber and there the previously mentioned Eddy current is generated.

It is preferred if the material of the swirler is made of a metal material. That is, the swirler forms a hollow cylindrical housing, which preferably consists of a metal sleeve. However, the invention is not limited thereto. Instead of using a metal material, a plastics material may also be used for the swirler housing.

Incidentally, this also applies to the swirler part which is inserted or screwed into the interior of the housing sleeve of the swirler and which preferably consists of a metal material. However, instead of such a metal material, suitable plastic materials may also be used.

The respective swirling channels forming holes are preferably formed as right- and left-handed bores, if two Verwirbelungskanäle are present. However, if there are four swirl channels, it is preferred if two left-handed and two right-handed swirl channels are arranged, which are alternately arranged on the circumference of the Verwirblerteils.

According to a further feature of the present invention, it may be provided that the swirl duct formed as a thread is formed as a metric or as an inch thread. Such a thread may also have additional finishing measures, for. B. it may be coated on the inside with a precious metal.

The application of the swirler according to the present invention is to be seen within wide limits. It can be arranged at the outlet end of a faucet, but also at the outlet end of a drinking bottle, a shower outlet fitting, and it can also be installed in the plumbing installation of a domestic installation.

Incidentally, it may be provided according to a further feature of the invention that act in the liquid flow additionally one or more static or dynamic magnetic fields.

Such magnetic fields can be generated for example by permanent magnets, which are arranged for example in the screen basket on the inlet side or outlet side.

Similarly, bar magnet can be used, which are arranged for example in or on the respective swirling channel.

However, dynamic magnetic fields may also be provided with a suitable magnet coil arrangement and a DC or AC source.

In 1 and 3 is a swirler 1 shown, the housing sleeve 2 preferably consists of a metal material or a plastic material. According to 8th is in the housing sleeve 2 a central inner bore 36 arranged, and at the inlet side is an internal thread 3 provided, which in an enlarged diameter annular chamber 4 passes.

At the outlet side is opposite to the inner bore 36 reduced in diameter collection chamber 16 arranged, in the longitudinal direction, a likewise reduced in diameter outflow chamber 17 followed.

It should be noted that the outflow chamber 17 can also be completely eliminated, so that the outlet end of the swirler 1 also directly through the outlet of the collection chamber 16 can be formed.

At the inlet side of the swirler 1 is a screw-in sleeve 5 screwed in with their external thread 6 in an associated internal thread 3 at the inlet side of the housing sleeve 2 intervenes. The sealing of the screw-5 is carried out via an O-ring 7, which is located on a frontal shoulder of the housing sleeve 2 invests.

Instead of such a screw-in sleeve 5 All other fittings adapter can be used, such. B. plug adapter, screw adapter or screw-in 5 can also be completely eliminated.

In the embodiment shown, the screw-in sleeve forms 5 an inlet chamber 8th , in which the liquid flow 20 in the direction of the arrow 21 flows.

The inlet side of the inlet chamber 8th By the way, by an annular opening 9 educated.

In the area of the inlet chamber 8th is a screen basket 10 arranged according to 5 from a sieve body 33 consists, which is approximately half-round in cross-section and is interspersed on all sides by sieve openings.

It is sealing on a circumferential retaining ring 35 according to 5 attached and also forms a sieve bottom 33 , from which the liquid in the interior of the screen body 32 entry.

According to 5 are in the interior of the screen body 32 a mixture of granules 34 arranged, which can have different diameters and sizes. The granules 34 are liquid resistant (not soluble in the liquid) and are used to transfer information when the liquid flow 20 the strainer basket 10 flows through in the longitudinal direction.

According to 1 the retaining ring sits 35 sealed in the annular chamber 4 , on the face of a Verwirblerteils 11 , which is described below.

The swirler part 11 is best in 10 shown and shows a radial circumferential ring collar 37 enlarged diameter, with which the swirler 11 according to 1 at the stop edge of the annular chamber 4 invests.

The retaining ring 35 of the strainer basket 10 is thus at the front 42 of the swirl part 11 sealed.

The swirler part 11 essentially forms a round-cylindrical housing 12 , which preferably consists of a metal material. However, it may also be made of plastic or other suitable material.

According to 10 and 11 are from the front side 42 of the swirl part 11 starting from two separate turbulence channels 13 , 14 in the material of the housing 12 incised, one swirling channel 13 for example, a left-handed metric thread and the other swirling channel 14 has a clockwise metric thread.

The invention is not limited to the arrangement of metric threads. It can also be a thread or other spiral threads are used, the arrangement of metric threads a particularly simple manufacture of the housing 12 enable. Instead of the Using continuous threads, it may be provided that the threads are only partially available or are replaced by simple rib structures.

In the illustrated embodiment according to 10 and 11 are the two swirl channels 13 . 14 inlet side by a central partition 15 separated from each other, but only over a certain axial length in the interior of the Verwirblerteils 11 extends.

The partition 15 extends according to 10 from the inlet side (front side 42 ) only up to the axial position 39 , From this position 39 The two conically merging Verwirbelungskanäle unite 13 . 14 to a common Verwirbelungskanal, in which thus a union route 40 is formed, in which the left and right-handed eddy current 24 . 25 united together.

This is in 4 shown schematically. There it can be seen that the longitudinal axes of the two Verwirbelungskanäle 13 . 14 each a sharp cone angle 27 in the range between 5 to 45 degrees to the horizontal center axis 26 form and that these two swirl channels 13 . 14 in the area of a union route 40 unite with each other.

The two in the direction of the arrow 21 counterflowing fluid streams thus unite in the union 40 with opposite directions of rotation and form a double vortex 28 , then finally in the direction of the arrow 29 from the collection chamber 16 expires.

As already stated earlier, the outlet end of the swirler 1 also directly at the collection chamber 16 at the boundary line 18 end up.

Only as a further embodiment is in 1 and 3 shown that attached to the collection chamber 16 connect further outlet cross sections of reduced diameter.

Likewise, it may be provided that at the outlet end of an outflow 19 is arranged. However, this can also be omitted.

The 3 and 5 generally show the screen structure of the screen basket 10 , which is penetrated by the liquid from all sides, so that a particularly advantageous flow around the granules arranged there 34 or sands or crystals takes place.

The outlet of the strainer basket 10 thus flows into the inlet chamber 23 , from which the now enriched with information liquid flow into the inlet side (front side 42 ) of the swirler part 11 enters, as in 11 is shown.

According to 4 So are two opposite eddy currents 24 . 25 from the incoming liquid stream 20 formed, which then in the area of a union line 40 with each other as a double-helical liquid flow (double eddy current 28 ) unite.

In 8th is the top view of the outflow end of the Verwirblerteils 11 shown and on the local front page.

It can be seen that the two threads 30 . 31 have joined together at the end. This would be about as 10 at position 41.

The 6 shows further details of the formation of the double vortex stream 28 by means of a section of approximately at position 39 in 4 and 9 is laid and a cross section through the mixing zone 45 shows.

Depending on the flow velocity and the flow volume are formed according to 6 in the two counter-rotating Verwirbelungskanälen 13 . 14 two in the arrow directions 48 . 49 counter rotating, flowing in the axial direction liquid columns, the above also as eddy currents 24 . 25 were designated.

It was found that, depending on the flow rate, pressure and liquid volume of each of the two eddy currents 24 . 25 from a non - rotating centric laminar flow 46 . 47 consists essentially only in the axial direction (perpendicular to the plane of the 6 ) straight, not rotating through the swirling channel 13 . 14 flows through and is surrounded by a jacket of a rotating liquid flow, as a swirl flow 43 . 44 referred to as. In the union route 40 the two fluid streams overlap and merge in the mixing zone 45 , where essentially the swirl streams 43 . 44 run into each other and the mutual spin largely abolishes, while the laminar flow 45.47 continue undisturbed. Because of the mutual spin cancellation in the union route 40 Therefore, it comes to a calming of the leaking liquid flow, the above as a double vortex 28 was designated.

As apparent from the above description, the mutual distance changes 50 between the two Verwirbelungskanälen 13,14 in the axial direction due to their mutual tapered arrangement. At the end of the Verwirblerteils 11 is the distance 50 has fallen to a minimum, while it forms a maximum on the inlet side.

At high flow rates and / or high flow pressure also changes the diameter of the non-participating in the laminar laminar flow streams 46, 47 compared to the shell side forming rotating swirl flows 43 . 44 ,

The higher the flow rate and / or the flow pressure, the smaller the diameter of the undisturbed in the axial direction continues to flow, non-rotating laminar flows 46 . 47 ,

In some applications, it may be provided that the laminar flows 46 . 47 completely eliminated and only the diameter of the Verwirbelungskanäle 13 . 14 completely filling counter rotating swirl streams 43 . 44 exist in a development of the invention, it may be provided that the threads of the two Verwirbelungskanälen 13 . 14 Exactly in phase, this means that there is no offset in the axial direction between the threads 30 one swirling channel 13 compared to the threads 31 of the other swirling channel 14 gives. They are therefore at the same axial height.

In another embodiment, it is provided that there is an axial offset between the threads 30 one swirling channel 13 compared to the threads 31 of the other swirling channel 14 gives. In this latter case, the swirl currents meet 43 . 44 in the mixing zone 45 not in phase, but with a certain axial offset. This can lead to a further flow calming of the expiring double eddy current 28 come, because a pressure maximum of a swirl flow 43 meets in the mixing zone 45 to a pressure minimum of the other swirl flow 44 , which leads to a mutual reduction of the twist effect in the double eddy current 28 and thus to a flow calming and to a reduction of pulsating pressure fluctuations in the expiring double eddy current 28 leads.
