Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are used solely for distinction and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] Implementation Method 1

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, a water-gas separator 100 disclosed in the present application includes a shell 10, a water inlet pipe 11, an exhaust pipe 21 and a diverter assembly 30 for separating water and gas, wherein a water outlet 12 is provided at the lower end of the shell 10, the shell 10 includes a first water storage chamber 20, the water inlet pipe 11 is communicated with the shell 10, the exhaust pipe 21 and the diverter assembly 30 are both fixed in the first water storage chamber 20, the upper end of the exhaust pipe 21 is arranged at the upper end of the first water storage chamber 20, the lower end of the exhaust pipe 21 passes through the water outlet 12 and is communicated with the outside, the water outlet 12 of the water inlet pipe 11 is arranged opposite to the diverter assembly 30; when water enters the water inlet pipe 11, after the water flow passes through the diverter assembly 30 and is separated from the water and gas, the water flows out from the water outlet 12 or the exhaust pipe 21, and the gas is discharged through the exhaust pipe 21.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the diverter component 30 on the water-gas separator 100 can separate water and gas in the water flow, and the separated water flows out from the water outlet 12, and the separated gas is discharged from the exhaust pipe 21; when the water flow rate is relatively low, the water without gas flows out from the water outlet 12; when the water flow rate is relatively high, when the water overflows the exhaust port 211 at the upper end of the exhaust pipe 21, the water can also be discharged from the lower end of the exhaust pipe 21, and the diverter component 30 is arranged opposite to the water outlet of the water inlet pipe 11, which can also slow down the water flow accordingly, and reduce the water pressure at the water outlet 12, so that the water flows out smoothly.

[0033] The working principle of the diversion component 30 is to utilize the density difference between gas and liquid to separate the gas and liquid on the diversion component through gravity sedimentation, deflection separation, centrifugal separation, wire mesh separation or microporous filtration, thereby achieving separation of water and gas.

[0034] In addition, the water-gas separator 100 does not have an enlarged water outlet, and the diversion component 30 and the exhaust pipe 21 are both arranged in the first water storage chamber 20. The water-gas separator 100 has fewer components and can reduce the volume, which is convenient for installation and storage.

[0035] Implementation Method 2

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 2-Figure 3As shown, the first water storage chamber 20 includes an anti-sticking inner chamber 22, and the diverter assembly 30 includes a water diverter plate 32 and a diverter plate 31 for separating water and gas. The diverter plate 31 is fixedly connected to the anti-sticking inner chamber 22 through the water diverter plate 32. Preferably, the diverter plate 31 and the anti-sticking inner chamber 22 form a water diversion channel 33, and the water inlet pipe 11 and the water outlet 12 are respectively connected to the water diversion channel 33. Preferably, the water-gas separator 100 also includes an upper cover 60, and a concave edge 221 is further provided around the anti-sticking inner chamber 22. The upper cover 60 is provided at the upper end of the first water storage chamber 20 through the concave edge 221.

[0037] In the above embodiment, the anti-sticking inner cavity 22 is a smooth cavity, which can prevent water droplets from adhering to the cavity wall and allow water to flow out quickly. The diverter plate 31 can separate water and gas by means of wire mesh separation or microporous filtration. The diverter plate 31 can also make the water flow more smoothly from the two ends of the water diversion channel 33 into the anti-sticking inner cavity 22, and then flow out from the water outlet 12. The separated gas overflows from the exhaust pipe 21 to the outside. The upper cover 60 can prevent the water flow from splashing outside, and can also prevent external water vapor from entering the anti-sticking inner cavity 22 and interfering with the water flow. The concave edge 221 is conducive to the installation of the upper cover 60. The upper cover 60 and the shell 10 can both be transparent, which is conducive to observing the water flow and cleaning the water flow separator 100.

[0038] Implementation Method 3

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the housing 10 further includes a second water storage chamber 40 and a diverter chamber 50 for water-gas separation. The lower end of the exhaust pipe 21 is integrally formed with the second water storage chamber 40. Preferably, the second water storage chamber 40 includes a bottom funnel 41, and the first water storage chamber 20 is connected to the water outlet 12 via the bottom funnel 41. The diverter chamber 50 is connected to the first water storage chamber 40 via the second water storage chamber 40, and the lower end of the exhaust pipe 21 is connected to the diverter chamber 50. The diverter chamber 50 includes a diverter inner chamber 51 extending to the outside, and the lower end of the exhaust pipe 21 is connected to the diverter inner chamber 51. The water outlet 12 passes through the diverter inner chamber 50.

[0040] In the above embodiment, the exhaust pipe 21 and the second water storage chamber 40 are integrally formed to reduce the volume. The bottom funnel 41 is connected to the water outlet 12. The bottom funnel 41 facilitates the outflow of water to the water outlet 12. The bottom funnel 41 also facilitates the outflow of water in a stable manner. The diverter cavity 51 is only connected to the exhaust pipe 21. The diverter cavity 51 has a similar function to the diverter plate 31 and can also separate water and gas from the water flow. When the water flow rate is low, the diverter cavity 51 is used to discharge the gas in the exhaust pipe 21. When the water flow rate is high, the gas and part of the water flow from the exhaust pipe 21 to the diverter cavity 51. The diverter cavity 51 is separated again, which can make the water flow out more smoothly, without intermittent splashing of water droplets.

[0041] Implementation Method 4

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water-gas separator 100 further includes a positioning column 13 for easy installation, the positioning column 13 is fixed on the housing 10, and a clamping plate 132 and a positioning hole 131 are provided on the positioning column 13. Figure 7 As shown, the upper cover 60 includes a water baffle 62 and a positioning frame 61 corresponding to the concave edge 221 . The positioning frame 61 is buckled with the concave edge 221 , and the water baffle 62 is arranged on the inner side of the positioning frame 61 .

[0043] In the above embodiment, the housing 10 can be mounted on a device such as a water dispenser through the positioning post 13. The clamping plate 132 and the positioning hole 131 facilitate the positioning post 13 to be clamped or plugged into the water dispenser. Figure 6 As shown, a slot 42 is provided on the outer wall of the second water storage chamber 40, through which the housing 10 can be plugged into a water dispenser or an external object. The positioning frame 61 is stably fastened to the upper end of the first water storage chamber 20. The water baffle 62 prevents water from splashing from the anti-sticking inner chamber 22 onto the positioning frame 61 and leaking out.

[0044] In summary, when high or low temperature water or the water flow rate flows into the water inlet pipe 11, it is not easy to generate water vapor. A small amount of water vapor overflows from the exhaust pipe 21 through the diversion cavity 51, and clean water flows out smoothly from the water outlet 12 through the bottom funnel 41.

[0045] When high-temperature water or water flow rate flows into the water inlet pipe 11, water vapor is easily generated. The water vapor can flow into the diverter cavity 51 from the exhaust pipe 21 and out. The water level in the first cavity is easily higher than the exhaust port 211, so that part of the water also flows into the diverter cavity 51 from the exhaust port 211. The diverter cavity 51 can also separate this part of water and gas again, so that the boiling water in the shell 10 can be realized. The water can flow out quietly and steadily from the water outlet 12 and the diverter cavity 51 without spraying water vapor.
