DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0083] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0084] The following describes a separation device 1 for a cooking appliance according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0085] like Figure 1-Figure 36 As shown, the separation device 1 of the cooking appliance according to the embodiment of the present invention is used to separate liquids with different densities.

[0086] The separation device 1 has a liquid storage chamber 100 and a liquid flow channel 200. The liquid flow channel 200 has a first liquid flow portion 210 and a second liquid flow portion 220 which are interconnected. The liquid flow channel 200 is connected to the liquid storage chamber 100 through the first liquid flow portion 210, wherein the height of the first liquid flow portion 210 is lower than the height of the second liquid flow portion 220.

[0087] It should be understood that the first liquid passage portion 210 may be a liquid passage port that allows liquid to flow through, and the second liquid passage portion 220 may be a liquid outlet or a side wall upper edge that allows liquid to flow out of the separation device 1 .

[0088] The working process of the separation device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0089] When the separation device 1 is working, first, a mixed liquid of two liquids with different densities enters the liquid storage chamber 100, and the mixed liquid is layered in the liquid storage chamber 100, with the liquid with a small density floating up and the liquid with a large density sinking down. Then, the liquid with a large density in the lower layer flows into the liquid passage 200 from the first liquid passage portion 210, and flows out from the second liquid passage portion 220 after reaching the height of the second liquid passage portion 220 of the boss 230. Therefore, the remaining liquid with a small density below the height of the second liquid passage port 220 remains in the liquid storage chamber 100, and the liquid with a large density flows out, thereby achieving separation of the two liquids.

[0090] According to the separation device 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the liquid storage chamber 100 and the liquid passage 200, a mixed liquid with liquids of different densities can be separated, for example, oil and water in broth can be separated during cooking. In this way, specific components can be separated from the mixed liquid, achieving the separation effect of the separation device 1.

[0091] For example, during the cooking process, if the separation device 1 is used to separate the oil and water in the broth, this can not only improve the taste of the broth, but also meet the requirements of a low-fat healthy diet, which is convenient for improving the health of the user's diet. At the same time, compared with the manual method of processing the fat in the broth, it can not only reduce the user's workload, save the user's time and energy, improve the efficiency of oil-water separation, but also facilitate improving the effect of oil-water separation.

[0092] Furthermore, by making the height of the first liquid-transferring portion 210 lower than the height of the second liquid-transferring portion 220, not only can a certain amount of mixed liquid be retained in the liquid storage chamber 100 to facilitate stratification of different components in the mixed liquid and improve the separation effect of the mixed liquid, but also it can ensure that the liquid with a higher density flows through the first liquid-transferring portion 210 first and then flows out through the liquid channel 200.

[0093] For example, when the separation device 1 is used to process broth, after the broth enters the liquid storage container 500, the water in the broth will flow through the first liquid passage portion 210 through the liquid passage 200 and then flow out from the second liquid passage portion 220, while most of the oil with a lower density in the broth or the oil-water mixture with a majority of the oil remaining in the liquid storage chamber 100 located below the second liquid passage port 220, thereby achieving the degreasing operation of the broth.

[0094] Therefore, the separation device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention has the advantages of being easy to use and having a good separation effect.

[0095] The following describes a separation device 1 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0096] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 36 As shown, the separation device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is used to separate liquids with different densities.

[0097] The second liquid transfer section 220 is described below according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0098] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the second liquid passage section 220 includes an opening provided on the side wall of the separation device 1. This facilitates setting the height of the first liquid passage section 210 to be lower than the height of the second liquid passage section 220, so that the liquid with a higher density flows out of the second liquid passage section 220 first.

[0099] In other embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the second liquid passage portion 220 includes the upper edge of the side wall of the separation device 1 (the upper and lower directions are as shown in FIG. Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Fig.13 and Fig.21 In this way, the height of the first liquid-passing portion 210 can be set to be lower than the height of the second liquid-passing portion 220, so that the liquid with a larger density can flow out of the second liquid-passing portion 220 smoothly first.

[0100] In other embodiments of the present invention, Fig.28 As shown, the inner surface of the separation device 1 is provided with a boss 230, the height of the first liquid-passing portion 210 is lower than the height of the boss 230, and the second liquid-passing portion 220 includes an opening provided at the boss 230. In this way, it is also convenient to set the height of the first liquid-passing portion 210 to be lower than the height of the second liquid-passing portion 220, so that the liquid with a larger density can flow out smoothly from the second liquid-passing portion 220 first.

[0101] For example, during the cooking process, the separation device 1 is used to remove fat from the broth, so that the high-density water can flow back into the cooking utensil from the second liquid passage portion 220, while the fat is retained in the liquid storage chamber 100, thereby achieving the separation and treatment of the fat in the broth.

[0102] Specifically, the separation device 1 has a liquid inlet 300, which is in communication with the liquid storage chamber 100. This facilitates the mixed liquid to enter the liquid storage chamber 100 through the liquid inlet 300, so that the mixed liquid can be separated into layers in the liquid storage chamber 100.

[0103] The liquid inlet portion 300 is described below according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the liquid inlet portion 300 includes an opening provided on the side wall of the separation device 1 , so that the mixed liquid can smoothly enter the liquid storage chamber 100 .

[0105] In other embodiments of the present invention, the liquid inlet portion 300 includes an upper edge of a side wall of the separation device 1. This also facilitates the mixed liquid to smoothly enter the liquid storage chamber 100.

[0106] In other embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the liquid inlet portion 300 includes an opening provided on the bottom wall of the separation device 1. This also facilitates the mixed liquid to smoothly enter the liquid storage chamber 100.

[0107] In some embodiments, a liquid collecting structure is provided on the outer surface of the bottom of the separation device 1. In this way, the liquid collecting structure can be used to guide the mixed liquid, facilitate the gathering and aggregation of the mixed liquid, facilitate the mixed liquid to smoothly enter the liquid storage chamber 100 through the liquid inlet 300, and improve the separation effect of the separation device 1.

[0108] Specifically, at least a portion of the bottom outer surface of the separation device 1 forms a liquid collecting surface 410, and the liquid collecting structure includes the liquid collecting surface 410. In this way, the liquid collecting surface 410 can be used to guide the mixed liquid so that the mixed liquid can smoothly enter the body 10.

[0109] More specifically, the liquid collecting surface 410 is a curved surface or an inclined surface formed by the upward bulging of the bottom wall of the separation device 1, and the curved surface or the inclined surface bulges from the outer side of the bottom wall of the separation device 1 toward the center of the bottom wall of the separation device 1. This facilitates increasing the liquid collecting area of ​​the liquid collecting surface 410 and improving the liquid collecting effect of the liquid collecting surface 410.

[0110] Optionally, the liquid collecting structure includes a baffle 430 extending downwardly and arranged on the outer surface of the bottom of the separation device 1. This further facilitates the separation device 1 to collect and guide the mixed liquid below.

[0111] Specifically, Figure 4As shown, the outer surface of the bottom of the separation device 1 has a liquid collecting surface 410, and the liquid collecting surface 410 rises from the outer side of the bottom wall of the liquid storage container 500 toward the center of the bottom wall. In other words, the liquid collecting surface 410 extends obliquely from the bottom to the top toward the liquid inlet 300. As a result, the liquid collecting surface 410 can collect the grease floating on the upper layer of the soup to the middle of the liquid storage container 500, and then allow the mixed liquid to enter the liquid storage container 500 from the second liquid passage 220, so as to prevent the grease from dispersing to the edge of the pot and not entering the liquid storage container 500. In this way, the liquid collecting surface 410 can be used to guide the mixed liquid, facilitate the gathering and aggregation of the mixed liquid, and facilitate the mixed liquid to smoothly enter the liquid storage chamber 100 through the second liquid passage 220, thereby improving the separation effect of the separation device 1.

[0112] It should be understood that the second liquid outlet 220 in the above embodiment can be the inlet of the broth or the outlet of the water in the broth.

[0113] Specifically, the liquid collecting surface 410 is located below the liquid inlet portion 300 and communicates with the liquid inlet portion 300 .

[0114] For example, when the separation device 1 is used to process broth, the fat in the boiling broth will float on the upper layer of the broth. Through the liquid collection surface 410, more fat in the upper layer of the broth can enter the separation device 1, so as to separate and remove the fat in the broth.

[0115] In some embodiments of the present invention, the height of the liquid inlet portion 300 is higher than the height of the second liquid passage portion 220. In this way, the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 100 can be prevented from flowing out through the liquid inlet portion 300, that is, the phenomenon of backflow at the liquid inlet portion 300 can be prevented, which is convenient for ensuring the working reliability and stability of the separation device 1 and improving the separation effect of the separation device 1.

[0116] For example, during the cooking process, the separation device 1 is arranged in the soup pot. When the broth boils, the broth can enter the liquid storage chamber 100 through the liquid inlet portion 300. In the liquid storage chamber 100, the fat and water are stratified, the fat floats on the upper layer, and the water is deposited in the lower layer. The water first flows into the liquid passage 200 through the lower first liquid passage portion 210, and then is discharged through the higher second liquid passage portion 220. This process is continuously repeated, and the fat is continuously accumulated in the liquid storage chamber 100, thereby achieving oil-water separation.

[0117] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Fig.28 As shown, the liquid inlet portion 300 and the second liquid transfer portion 220 have the same structure. This can simplify the structure of the separation device 1, improve the production efficiency of the separation device 1, and reduce the production cost of the separation device 1.

[0118] According to other embodiments of the present invention, the liquid inlet 300 includes a first liquid inlet and a second liquid inlet, the first liquid inlet and the second liquid passage 220 are of the same structure, and the second liquid inlet and the second liquid passage 220 are two independent structures. This can increase the flexibility of the arrangement of the liquid inlet 300, facilitate increasing the effective liquid inlet area of ​​the liquid inlet 300, and improve the liquid inlet efficiency of the mixed liquid entering the liquid storage chamber 100.

[0119] According to other embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the liquid inlet 300 and the second liquid passage 220 are two independent structures. In this way, the mixed liquid can enter the liquid storage chamber 100 through the liquid inlet 300 and flow out of the separation device 1 from the second liquid passage 220, thereby realizing a continuous cycle of the separation process, facilitating the continuous accumulation of grease in the liquid storage chamber 100 and realizing oil-water separation.

[0120] It should be understood that "the liquid inlet 300 and the second liquid passage 220 are the same structure" means that the second liquid passage 220 serves as both an inlet channel and a discharge channel for the liquid, that is, the liquid flows into the separation device 1 through the second liquid passage 220, and is discharged from the separation device 1 through the second liquid passage 220 after being stratified. "The liquid inlet 300 and the second liquid passage 220 are two independent structures" means that the liquid inlet 300 and the second liquid passage 220 are two different structures independently arranged, that is, the liquid flows into the separation device 1 through the liquid inlet 300, and is discharged from the separation device 1 through the second liquid passage 220 after being stratified.

[0121] Specifically, Fig. 9 As shown, the liquid inlet 300 forms a liquid inlet provided on the bottom wall of the separation device 1, and a one-way valve 330 is provided at the liquid inlet, and the one-way valve 330 is configured to allow liquid to flow from the liquid inlet into the liquid storage chamber 100 in one direction. In this way, the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 100 can be prevented from flowing out through the liquid inlet 300, that is, the phenomenon of backflow at the liquid inlet 300 can be prevented, which is convenient for ensuring the working reliability and stability of the separation device 1 and improving the separation effect of the separation device 1.

[0122] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8 As shown, the separation device 1 includes a liquid storage container 500 and a partition 600, and the partition 600 includes a first partition 610. The first partition 610 is disposed in the liquid storage container 500 to divide the inner cavity of the liquid storage container 500 into at least a liquid storage cavity 100 and a liquid passage 200, and the first liquid passage portion 210 is disposed in the first partition 610 and / or the liquid storage container 500. This facilitates the formation of the liquid storage cavity 100 and the liquid passage 200, and facilitates the formation of the first liquid passage portion 210.

[0123] In some embodiments, the gap between the first partition 610 and the bottom wall of the liquid storage container 500 forms the first liquid passage portion 210. This facilitates the formation of the first liquid passage portion 210.

[0124] Specifically, the liquid storage container 500 includes a first annular circumferential wall, a second annular circumferential wall disposed inside the first annular circumferential wall, and a bottom wall connected between the first annular circumferential wall and the second annular circumferential wall. The separator 600 is disposed inside the liquid storage container 500 and includes an outer annular portion and an inner annular portion disposed inside the outer annular portion. A liquid storage cavity is defined between the inner annular portion and the outer annular portion. A liquid passage 200 is defined between the outer annular portion and the first annular circumferential wall and between the inner annular portion and the second annular circumferential wall. This facilitates increasing the effective working areas of the first liquid passage 210, the second liquid passage 220, and the liquid passage 200, thereby improving the separation efficiency of the separation device 1.

[0125] Specifically, in some examples, such as Fig.11 As shown, the first partition 610 has an annular peripheral wall spaced apart from the side wall of the liquid storage container 500, and a liquid passage 200 is defined between the outer side of the annular peripheral wall of the first partition 610 and the liquid storage container 500. This facilitates the formation of the liquid storage cavity 100 and the liquid passage 200, and facilitates the arrangement of the first liquid passage portion 210 and the second liquid passage portion 220.

[0126] In other examples, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first partition 610 forms a partition plate connected to the side wall of the liquid storage container 500. This facilitates the formation of the liquid storage chamber 100 and the liquid passage 200, and facilitates the arrangement of the first liquid passage portion 210 and the second liquid passage portion 220.

[0127] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig.17 As shown, the bottom wall of the liquid storage container 500 has a boss 230, and the second liquid passing portion 220 is disposed on the boss 230. This not only facilitates the installation of the first partition 610, facilitates the formation of the liquid storage cavity 100 and the liquid passing channel 200, but also facilitates setting the height of the first liquid passing portion 210 to be lower than the height of the second liquid passing portion 220, thereby achieving a height difference between the first liquid passing portion 210 and the second liquid passing portion 220.

[0128] In some embodiments of the present invention, the liquid storage container 500 has a side wall connected to the bottom wall, one end of the side wall is formed as an opening, and the boss 230 is formed by the bottom wall of the liquid storage container 500 being recessed toward the opening. This facilitates the formation of the boss 230 without adding additional components, and is easy to process and low in cost.

[0129] Specifically, the gap between the side wall of the boss 230 and the first partition 610 defines the first liquid passage portion 210. This facilitates setting the height of the first liquid passage portion 210 lower than the height of the second liquid passage portion 220, so that the liquid with a higher density flows out of the first liquid passage portion 210 first.

[0130] More specifically, Fig.17 As shown, the side wall of the boss 230 is formed with at least one protrusion 231 and at least one recess 232, the protrusion 231 is tightly matched with the inner side wall of the first partition 610, and a gap is formed between the recess 232 and the inner side wall of the first partition 610, and the gap is the first liquid passage 210. In this way, the first liquid passage 210 through the gap formed between the recess 232 and the inner side wall of the first partition 610 is formed, and this method is simpler than the method of forming the first liquid passage 210 by setting a through hole in the side wall of the first partition 610 or forming the first liquid passage 210 by setting a groove on the bottom wall of the liquid storage container 500. The separation device 1 is easy to manufacture and clean quickly, because if the through hole is set in the first partition 610, it is necessary to process the through hole additionally, and if the groove is set on the bottom wall of the liquid storage container 500, not only the groove needs to be processed, but also the groove formed on the bottom wall is easy to accumulate stains, which is not convenient to clean.

[0131] Furthermore, there are multiple protrusions 231, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the boss 230, and a recessed portion 232 is formed between two adjacent protrusions 231. A first liquid-passing portion 210 is defined between each recessed portion 232 and the inner side wall of the first partition 610. This facilitates the formation of multiple liquid-passing channels 200, facilitates the connection of the second liquid-passing portion 220 with the liquid storage chamber 100, and improves the uniformity and smoothness of liquid flow.

[0132] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 As shown, the protrusion 231 is provided with a first locking protrusion 2311, and the first partition 610 is provided with a second locking protrusion 611, and the first locking protrusion 2311 and the second locking protrusion 611 are mutually buckled. This not only facilitates the assembly and molding of the first partition 610 and the liquid storage container 500, and improves the assembly efficiency of the first partition 610, but also can position the first partition 610, improve the setting stability of the first partition 610, and prevent the first partition 610 from being separated from the boss 230. At the same time, it is convenient to disassemble and clean the first partition 610.

[0133] Specifically, the second protrusion 611 can be an inwardly curved flange disposed at the lower end of the side wall of the first partition 610, so that the second protrusion 611 does not need to be additionally processed and the lower end opening edge of the first partition 610 can prevent scratching. The first protrusion 2311 can be an outwardly protruding protrusion disposed on the side wall of the raised portion 231.

[0134] Specifically, Fig.21 As shown, at least one supporting protrusion 233 is formed on the top wall of the boss 230, the top wall of the first partition 610 is supported on the supporting protrusion 233, the first partition 610 is connected to the bottom wall of the liquid storage container 500 or the boss 230, and there is a gap between the side wall of the first partition 610 and the side wall of the boss 230 to form the first liquid passing portion 210. Such a separation device 1 also has the advantages of convenient and fast processing and manufacturing and convenient cleaning, which is convenient for the installation and setting of the first partition 610 and the formation of the liquid passing channel 200.

[0135] In other embodiments, the first partition 610 is connected to the boss through an elastic connector 700. This facilitates the assembly of the first partition 610 and the liquid storage container 500 and improves the reliability of the first partition 610.

[0136] Specifically, the elastic connector 700 is welded on the first partition 610. The first partition 610 is inserted into the mounting hole 234 on the boss 230 through the elastic connector 700.

[0137] Furthermore, the top wall of the boss 230 is provided with a mounting hole 234, and the elastic connector 700 includes a connecting column 710 and at least one spring piece 720, and the connecting column 710 is connected to the first partition 610. The spring piece 720 is provided on the connecting column 710, and the spring piece 720 is configured to generate deformation when the connecting column 710 is provided with the mounting hole 234 to allow the connecting column 710 to pass through the mounting hole 234, and restore the deformation when the connecting column 710 passes through the mounting hole 234. In this way, not only the first partition 610 is smoothly assembled with the boss 230, but also the elastic connector 700 can be used to limit the first partition 610 to prevent the first partition 610 from being separated from the liquid storage container 500.

[0138] Specifically, the first separator 610 is connected to the boss 230 through an elastic connector 700. The elastic connector 700 is welded to the first separator 610. The top wall of the boss 230 is provided with a mounting hole 234, and the elastic connector 700 includes a connecting column 710 and at least one elastic sheet 720. The first separator 610 is inserted into the mounting hole 234 on the boss 230 through the elastic connector 700. The connecting column 710 is connected to the first separator 610, and the elastic sheet 720 is provided on the connecting column 710. The elastic sheet 720 is configured to generate deformation when the connecting column 710 is provided with the mounting hole 234 to allow the connecting column 710 to pass through the mounting hole 234, and restore the deformation when the connecting column 710 passes through the mounting hole 234. The top wall of the boss 230 is formed with at least one supporting protrusion 233, the top wall of the first partition 610 is supported on the supporting protrusion 233, the first partition 610 is connected to the boss 230 via an elastic connecting member 700, and the lower end edge of the side wall of the first partition 610 and the bottom wall of the liquid storage container 500 define a first liquid flow portion 210.

[0139] Specifically, the height of the boss 230 is 2-20 mm. In this way, the boss 230 has a suitable height range, which is not only convenient for retaining a certain amount of mixed liquid in the liquid storage chamber 100, so as to facilitate the stratification of different components in the mixed liquid, but also prevents the height of the boss 230 from being too high to affect the use of the liquid storage container 500 as a steamer, so that the inner cavity of the steamer, that is, the liquid storage chamber 100, can have enough space for conveniently placing food.

[0140] Optionally, the side wall of the boss 230 gradually extends from top to bottom in a direction away from the top wall of the boss 230, and the angle G between the side wall of the boss 230 and the top wall of the boss 230 is greater than 100°. This ensures that the liquid passage 200 has enough space to facilitate polishing during the manufacturing process.

[0141] Optionally, the second liquid passage portion 220 forms a second liquid passage opening, and the second liquid passage opening is disposed on the top wall of the boss 230 and / or the upper part of the side wall of the boss 230. This not only facilitates the installation of the second liquid passage portion 220 and enables the second liquid passage portion 220 to have a certain height, but also enables the force on the liquid storage container 500 to be more uniform, and the structure to be more reliable and stable.

[0142] Furthermore, the second liquid passage port includes one or more openings arranged at intervals, so that the openings are convenient for connecting the liquid passage 200 with the external environment, and for the separated high-density liquid to flow out of the second liquid passage portion 220 .

[0143] Furthermore, the second liquid-passing port includes a plurality of openings, which are circular holes and have a diameter less than or equal to 8 mm. This not only facilitates the stability of the liquid discharge of the second liquid-passing portion 220 and facilitates the processing and forming of the openings, but also prevents food from falling into the openings. The liquid storage container 500 can be used as a steamer, and the diameter of the openings is smaller than the size of the user's fingers, which can prevent the user from scratching his hands when taking or putting.

[0144] Specifically, the separation device 1 further includes a second partition 620, which is disposed in the liquid storage container 500 to separate the liquid storage chamber 100 into a first chamber 621 and a second chamber 622, and the second partition 620 has a peripheral wall and a side wall, and the first partition 610 is connected to the bottom wall of the second partition 620. This not only facilitates the arrangement of the second partition 620, but also facilitates the use of the first partition 610 and the second partition 620 to separate the liquid storage chamber 100, thereby improving the separation effect of the separation device 1.

[0145] More specifically, the bottom wall of the second partition 620 is provided with a plurality of spaced through holes 624, which connect the first chamber 621 and the second chamber 622.
