Nutrient Infuser For Drinking Water

摘要

The present invention provides a nutrient infuser removably attached to a drinking water source to remineralize drinking water. The nutrient infuser comprises a pipe provided for the drinking water to flow therethrough, wherein flow rate of the drinking water is measured by a flow meter. The flow meter converts flow rate into electronic signals which will be received by a controller. The controller totalizes the electronic signals and uses it to further generate another electronic signal to activate an injector to operate accordingly. Upon activation, the injector draws a predetermined amount of consumable substances from a canister and injects the same to the drinking water flowing through the pipe, remineralizing the drinking water, making it healthier for consumption. The predetermined amount of consumable substances injected to the drinking water corresponds to the flow rate of the drinking water. The consumable substances may comprise essential minerals, vitamins or flavoring.

1. A nutrient infuser removably attached to a small-scale drinking water source supplying drinking water, the nutrient infuser comprising:
a pipe provided for the drinking water to flow through the nutrient infuser; a canister containing consumable substances; a flow meter for measuring the flow rate of the drinking water flowing through the pipe, the flow rate is being converted into electronic signals; a controller adapted to receive electronic signals from the flow meter and generate another electronic signal to be transmitted to an injector, thereby activating the injector to operate; wherein the injector has an inlet and an outlet, the inlet of the injector is coupled to the canister and the outlet of the injector is inserted into the pipe, wherein the injector operationally draws a desired amount of consumable substances from the canister through the inlet and injects the consumable substances to the pipe through the outlet as the drinking water flows through the pipe, the amount of the consumable substances drawn and injected corresponding to the flow rate of the drinking water; whereby the nutrient infuser automatically adds the consumable substances from the canister into the drinking water flowing within the pipe so as to provide remineralized drinking water.
