Abstract

An ozone water faucet having an ozone supplier disposed on an outcome of a faucet is disclosed. The ozone supplier consists of a gas-liquid mixing tube and an ozone generator. The gas-liquid mixing tube is composed by a water intake section, a water drainage section, and a diameter-reducing throat therebetween. The ozone from the ozone generator flows through the diameter-reducing throat, into the gas-liquid mixing tube. A cut out bearing is arranged inside the water drainage section for mounting a cut out stirring ball that moves freely. When water flows through the diameter-reducing throat, into the water drainage section, it flushes the cut out stirring ball as well as the bearing and drives the cut out stirring ball moving upwards and downwards so as to have better disintegration effect on the water.

Claims

1. An ozone water faucet comprising an ozone supplier disposed on an outcome of a faucet and the ozone supplier comprising a housing, a gas-liquid mixing tube, an ozone generator, a cut out bearing and a cut out stirring ball, wherein

the housing is for mounting the gas-liquid mixing tube and the ozone generator;

the gas-liquid mixing tube is a hourglass tube with larger diameter on two ends and smaller diameter in center part thereof, and having a water intake section, a water drainage section, and a diameter-reducing throat;

the water intake section connects with the outcome of the faucet so that water from the outcome directly flows into the intake section;

the ozone generator is a device that generates ozone gas and the ozone gas is released into the gas-liquid mixing tube through a pipe connected between the ozone generator and the diameter-reducing throat;

the cut out bearing is a cut out rack fixed on an outer end of the water drainage section of the gas-liquid mixing tube to make water flow from the diameter-reducing throat, through the water drainage section, pass the cut out bearing and then being discharged externally;

an arced slot whose arc matches diameter of the stirring ball is disposed on top of the cut out bearing so that part of sphere of the stirring ball mounts in the arced slot;

the cut out stirring ball is a body moving freely with cut out sphere and is rolling upwards and downwards between the arced slot of the cut out bearing and the diameter-reducing throat of the gas-liquid mixing tube;

when water flows through the water intake section, the diameter-reducing throat into the water drainage section, it flushes the cut out stirring ball or the cut out bearing and drives the cut out stirring ball rolls vertically and freely between the arced slot on top of the cut out bearing and the diameter-reducing throat of the gas-liquid mixing tube so as to have disintegration effect on the water.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the water intake section is connected with the outcome of the faucet by means of corresponding assembling parts.

3. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a check valve is disposed on the pipe of the ozone generator.

4. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a turbulent guiding plate disposed with a plurality of turbulent blades is arranged on a top end of the gas-liquid mixing tube so that water from the faucet passes through the turbulent guiding plate first and then flows into the water intake section.

5. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ozone generator is turned on by a general switch, an infrared switch, or water sensing switch with positive and negative electrodes.

6. The device as claimed in claim 5, wherein two electrical contacts of the water sensing switch with positive and negative electrodes are disposed on an inner wall of the gas-liquid mixing tube so that the electrical contacts are electrically connected by water inside the gas-liquid mixing tube.

7. The device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the two electrical contacts are preferably disposed inside the gas-liquid mixing tube at different heights.

8. The device as claimed in claim 6, wherein one of the two electrical contacts is mounted inside the water intake section of the gas-liquid mixing tube while the other is inside the water drainage section of the gas-liquid mixing tube.

9. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a plurality of grooved surfaces with certain height is arranged on circumference of an outcome surface of the water drainage section of the gas-liquid mixing tube at a certain interval so as to form several lateral openings on the outcome surface.
