Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary only for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

A separation device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 1-18.

According to the utility model discloses separator 10 is suitable for establishing in the culinary art intracavity that contains the mixed liquid, and under the state that separator 10 established in the culinary art intracavity that contains the mixed liquid, separator 10 floated on the surface of mixed liquid to the liquid of different density in the separation mixed liquid, under the state that separator 10 located the culinary art intracavity that contains the mixed liquid, separator 10 discharged the weight of liquid and is greater than or equal to separator 10's weight promptly.

According to the utility model discloses separator 10, through setting up separator 10 to float in the culinary art intracavity that holds mixed liquid, make separator 10 can general used liquid level, simultaneously, need not set up bearing structure alone on separator 10 or culinary art chamber, simplified manufacturing process, and separator 10 is used in the culinary art intracavity, can separate the mixed liquid of the liquid that has different densities, can separate the profit in the broth in the culinary art process for example. This allows a specific component to be separated from the mixed liquid, and the separation effect of the separator 10 can be achieved.

Therefore, the separation device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention has the advantages of convenient use, good separation effect, etc.

A separation device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the drawings.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, the separation device 10 has a liquid storage cavity 101 and a liquid passing channel 102, the liquid passing channel 102 has a first liquid passing portion 103 and a second liquid passing portion 104 which are communicated with each other, the liquid passing channel 102 is communicated with the liquid storage cavity 101 through the first liquid passing portion 103, and the first liquid passing portion 103 is lower than the second liquid passing portion 104.

From this, through making first liquid portion 103 that crosses highly being less than the second liquid portion 104 that crosses the height, not only can make the stock solution chamber 101 in can remain a certain amount of mixed liquid like this to different compositions to in the mixed liquid carry out the layering, improve the separation effect of mixed liquid, can guarantee moreover that the great liquid of density flows out after first liquid portion 103 flows through liquid passageway 102 from first passing.

When the separating device 10 works, the separating device 10 floats in the cooking cavity, mixed liquid of two kinds of liquid with different densities in the cooking cavity enters the liquid storage cavity 101, the mixed liquid is layered in the liquid storage cavity 101, the liquid with low density floats upwards, and the liquid with high density sinks. The liquid with the lower layer having a high density flows into the liquid passing channel 102 from the first liquid passing portion 103 and flows out from the second liquid passing portion 104. Therefore, the liquid having a small density remaining at a level lower than the second liquid passing portion 104 remains in the liquid storage chamber 101, and the liquid having a large density flows out, thereby separating the two liquids.

For example, the separation device 10 may be an oil-water separation device. In the cooking process, if the oil and water in the broth are separated by the separation device 10, the broth enters the separation device 10 and then is layered, the dense broth (mainly comprising water) in the separation device is in the lower layer and flows out of the second liquid passing part 104 after passing through the liquid channel 102 by the first liquid passing part 103, and the less dense broth (most of the grease or oil-water mixture with most of the grease) in the separation device 10 is left in the liquid storage cavity 101 below the second liquid passing part 104, so that the oil removal operation on the broth is realized.

Therefore, the taste of the broth can be improved, the requirements of low-fat healthy diet are met, and the diet health of users is improved conveniently. Simultaneously, compare the mode of grease in the manual processing bouillon, not only can reduce user's work load, save user's time and energy, improve oil-water separation's efficiency, be convenient for improve oil-water separation's effect moreover.

It should be noted that, during the operation of the separating device 10, whether the mixed liquid in the cooking cavity is in a boiling state or the mixed liquid in the cooking cavity is in a standing state to stratify the liquids with different densities, the separating device 10 always floats on the surface of the mixed liquid, and even after the liquid storage cavity 101 of the separating device 10 enters the liquids, the separating device 10 can still keep a floating state, thereby realizing the separation of the liquids with different densities.

In some embodiments, the separation device 10 includes a device body and a floating portion for driving the device body to float on the surface of the mixed liquid in a state where the separation device 10 is disposed in the cooking cavity containing the mixed liquid, thereby separating the mixed liquid having liquids with different densities, and there is no need to separately provide a support structure on the separation device 10 or the cooking cavity, simplifying the manufacturing process.

To facilitate the user's access to the separating apparatus 10, the apparatus body or the float is provided with a handle 18.

As shown in fig. 4-13, in some embodiments, the float comprises a cavity 105 formed in the device body. By providing the cavity 105, the weight of the liquid discharged by the separating device 10 is greater than or equal to the weight of the separating device 10, and the separating device 10 can float on the liquid level of the mixed liquid, so that the separating device 10 can be used for all liquid levels, and the separating effect is facilitated.

The cavity 105 may be a sealed cavity, or the upper portion of the cavity 105 has an opening and the lower portion is sealed, so as to prevent liquid in the cooking cavity from entering the cavity 105 when the separation device 10 is placed in the cooking cavity, so that the separation device 10 sinks and cannot achieve a separation effect.

As shown in fig. 5 and 8, in some embodiments, the cavity 105 forms an annular cavity extending along the circumferential direction of the reservoir 101, i.e., the cavity 105 is located at the outer ring of the separation device 10, so that the separation device 10 is more uniform in structure in the circumferential direction, thereby ensuring that the separation device 10 can be balanced.

In some examples, the cross-section of the cavity 105 forms a square, i.e. the cavity 105 forms an annular sealed cavity with a square cross-section, which ensures that the separating apparatus 10 is smooth even if hit when a liquid (e.g. soup) boils.

In other examples, the cross section of the cavity 105 forms a circle, that is, the cavity 105 forms an annular sealing cavity with a circular cross section, and in particular, the structure can be formed by bending a circular tube into a ring and then welding, so that the forming process is simple and the production cost is reduced.

In some examples, the top wall outer surface of the cavity 105 extends gradually downward in an outer to inner direction.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, when the separating device 10 is placed in a cooking cavity containing mixed liquid, if the liquid is boiled vigorously, the liquid below the separating device 10 can enter the liquid storage cavity 101 through the second liquid passing portion 105, and the liquid between the side wall of the separating device 10 and the side wall of the cooking cavity can enter the liquid storage cavity 101 along the top wall of the cavity 105 from the side wall of the separating device 10 along the top wall of the cavity as the liquid level rises. Thus, by providing the top wall outer surface of the cavity 105 extending downwardly from the outside to the inside, the entry of liquid into the reservoir chamber 101 from above is facilitated.

In some examples, the cavity 105 includes a plurality of cavities 105, and the plurality of cavities 105 are arranged along the circumference of the device body, so that the separation device 10 is uniform in structure in the circumference, and the separation device 10 can be balanced.

As shown in fig. 9 and 10, in some embodiments, the cavity 105 is located in the middle of the separation device 10, and the reservoir 101 forms an annular chamber extending in the circumferential direction of the cavity 105, so that when the liquid (e.g. soup) boils, the separation device 10 can be kept even if it is hit.

In some examples, the apparatus body includes a first body 111 and a first chamber housing 112, the second liquid passing part 104 is disposed on the first body 111, the first chamber housing 112 is connected to the first body 111, and the first chamber housing 112 itself or the first chamber housing 112 and the first body 111 define a cavity 105 therebetween.

The first body 111 and the first cavity housing 112 may be integrally formed, and of course, the first body 111 and the first cavity housing 112 may also be separately formed and then connected together by a connection process or a connection member.

Therefore, the first cavity shell 112 is arranged on the first body 111, and the cavity 105 is defined between the first cavity shell 112 or the first cavity shell 112 and the first body 111, so that the buoyancy force borne by the separation device 10 is greater than the gravity force, the separation device 10 can float on the liquid level of the mixed liquid, the liquid level of the separation device 10 can be used universally, and the separation effect is favorably realized.

In some specific examples, the first body 111 is formed as a bottom plate, and the first chamber housing 112 forms an annular chamber housing extending along a circumferential direction of the bottom plate, the first chamber housing 112 itself defining the cavity 105.

As shown in fig. 7 and 8, in the present embodiment, the cross-section of the first chamber housing 112 may be formed in a circular shape, and the outer circumferential edge of the bottom plate forms an arc-shaped edge matched in shape to the outer wall surface of the first chamber housing 112, thereby facilitating the coupling of the first chamber housing 112 with the bottom plate.

It should be noted that the first chamber shell 112 and the bottom plate may be connected by welding, or may be fixed together by using a connecting member, and of course, is not limited to other connection methods.

Wherein the first divider 113 is located at the middle of the bottom plate. For example, the first partition 113 may form an annular peripheral wall disposed spaced apart from the side wall of the first chamber case 112, or may form a partition connected to the side wall of the first chamber case 112.

In the example shown in fig. 5 and 6 and fig. 8, the first partition 113 forms a cover having a top wall and a side wall, the bottom plate has a boss 161 at a middle portion thereof, the first partition 113 is covered on the boss 161, the liquid passing passage 102 is defined between the first partition 113 and the boss 161, the second liquid passing portion 104 is provided at a top portion of the boss 161, the second liquid passing portion 104 includes one or more openings arranged at intervals, and the side wall of the boss 161 and the first partition 113 define the first liquid passing portion 103.

Thus, by providing the first body 111 as a bottom plate, the first chamber shell 112 is formed into an annular chamber shell, so that the formed cavity 105 is at the outer ring of the separation device 10, the separation device 10 is more uniform in structure in the circumferential direction, and the separation device 10 can be balanced.

For example, the first partition 113 may form an annular peripheral wall arranged at a distance from the side wall of the liquid storage container, or may form a partition connected to the side wall of the liquid storage container.

In the example shown in fig. 10, the first partition 113 forms a cover having a top wall and a side wall, the bottom wall of the liquid storage container has a boss 161 at the middle portion, the first partition 113 is covered on the boss 161, the liquid passing channel 102 is defined between the first partition 113 and the boss 161, the second liquid passing portion 104 is provided at the top of the boss 161, the second liquid passing portion 104 includes one or more openings arranged at intervals, and the side wall of the boss 161 and the first partition 113 define the first liquid passing portion 103.

For example, the additional structural member 151 may be a flexible piece of material.

Therefore, by adopting the additional structural member 151 to define the sealed cavity 105, the weight of the liquid discharged by the separating device 10 is greater than or equal to the weight of the separating device 10, and the separating device 10 can float on the liquid level of the mixed liquid, so that the separating device 10 can use the liquid level universally, the separation effect is realized, and the additional structural member 151 is easier to machine and form, and the production efficiency is improved and the production cost is reduced.

In some examples, the first mounting cavity 1220 extends along the circumferential direction of the reservoir 101, i.e. the additional structure 151 extends along the circumferential direction of the reservoir 101, so that the cavity 105 is formed to extend along the circumferential direction of the reservoir 101, and thus the cavity 105 is located at the outer ring of the separation device 10, so that the separation device 10 is more uniform in structure in the circumferential direction, thereby ensuring that the separation device 10 can be balanced.
