It should be understood that the first liquid passing portion 210 may be a liquid passing port for allowing liquid to pass through, and the second liquid passing portion 220 may be a liquid passing port or a sidewall upper edge for allowing liquid to flow out of the separation device 1.

The operation of the separating apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

When the separation device 1 works, firstly, mixed liquid of two kinds of liquid with different densities enters the liquid storage cavity 100, the mixed liquid is layered in the liquid storage cavity 100, the liquid with low density floats upwards, and the liquid with high density sinks. Then, the liquid with the lower layer with high density flows into the liquid passing channel 200 from the first liquid passing part 210, reaches the height of the second liquid passing part 220 of the boss 230, and then flows out from the second liquid passing part 220. Therefore, the remaining liquid with a small density below the height of the second liquid passing port 220 remains in the liquid storage chamber 100, and the liquid with a large density flows out, thereby realizing separation of the two liquids.

According to the separation device 1 of the embodiment of the invention, by arranging the liquid storage cavity 100 and the liquid passing channel 200, the mixed liquid of liquids with different densities can be separated, for example, oil and water in broth can be separated in the cooking process. This allows the separation of a specific component from the mixed liquid, and realizes the separation effect of the separator 1.

In some embodiments of the invention, as shown in fig. 1-36, a separation device 1 according to embodiments of the invention is used to separate liquids of different densities.

The second liquid passing portion 220 is described below according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the second liquid passing part 220 includes an opening provided in a sidewall of the separation device 1. This facilitates setting the height of the first liquid passing part 210 to be lower than the height of the second liquid passing part 220, and facilitates the liquid with higher density to flow out from the second liquid passing part 220 first.

In other embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, the second liquid passing part 220 includes the upper edge of the sidewall of the separation device 1 (the up-down direction is shown by arrow a in fig. 1, 3, 13 and 21). This also facilitates setting the height of the first liquid passing part 210 to be lower than the height of the second liquid passing part 220, thereby facilitating the liquid with higher density to flow out smoothly from the second liquid passing part 220.

In other embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 28, the inner surface of the separation device 1 is provided with a boss 230, the height of the first liquid passing part 210 is lower than that of the boss 230, and the second liquid passing part 220 includes an opening provided in the boss 230. This also facilitates setting the height of the first liquid passing part 210 to be lower than the height of the second liquid passing part 220, thereby facilitating the liquid with higher density to flow out smoothly from the second liquid passing part 220.

For example, the separating device 1 can be used to remove grease from the broth during cooking, so that high-density moisture can flow back into the cooking utensil from the second liquid passing part 220, and grease can be retained in the liquid storage cavity 100, thereby realizing separation and treatment of grease in the broth.

This is convenient for increase the collection liquid area of collection liquid surface 410, improves the collection liquid effect of collection liquid surface 410.

Optionally, the liquid collection structure comprises downwardly extending baffles 430 provided on the bottom outer surface of the separator device 1. This further facilitates the collection and diversion of the mixed liquid below by the separating apparatus 1.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the bottom outer surface of the separation device 1 has a liquid collecting surface 410, and the liquid collecting surface 410 is raised from the outer side of the bottom wall of the liquid storage container 500 toward the center of the bottom wall. That is, the liquid collecting surface 410 extends obliquely toward the liquid inlet 300 from the bottom to the top. Therefore, the liquid collecting surface 410 can collect the grease floating on the upper layer of the soup into the middle of the liquid storage container 500, and then the mixed liquid enters the liquid storage container 500 from the second liquid passing port 220, so that the grease is prevented from being dispersed to the edge of the pot and not entering the liquid storage container 500. Therefore, the mixed liquid can be guided by the liquid collecting surface 410, the mixed liquid can be gathered and gathered conveniently, the mixed liquid can smoothly enter the liquid storage cavity 100 through the second liquid passing port 220, and the separation effect of the separation device 1 is improved.
