Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to kitchen waste treatment equipment, and in particular to a solid-liquid separation device for separating solid waste and oil-water mixtures from kitchen waste. Background Technology
[0002] Food waste typically contains a large amount of solid waste and an oil-water mixture. If this mixture is not effectively separated, the difficulty of oil-water separation increases, leading to incomplete separation. This not only affects the treatment efficiency of food waste but also increases the difficulty and cost of processing. Currently, food waste treatment equipment on the market often relies on complex mechanical devices for solid-liquid separation, which increases both equipment complexity and maintenance costs. Therefore, developing a simple, lightweight, and easy-to-operate solid-liquid separation rack that can effectively separate solid waste and oil-water mixtures from food waste is of great significance for reducing the difficulty and cost of food waste treatment. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a simple, lightweight and easy-to-operate stainless steel solid-liquid separator for kitchen waste, which can effectively separate solid waste and oil-water mixtures from kitchen waste and conveniently pour the separated waste into a kitchen waste bin. It also has an adjustable height function to adapt to different types of kitchen waste bins. Technical solution
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a stainless steel solid-liquid separation rack for kitchen waste, the structure of which includes the following components:
[0005] 1. Square stainless steel plate base (1)
[0006] The square stainless steel base serves as the fundamental support platform for the equipment, located at its bottom to provide overall structural stability and load-bearing capacity. The base is made of high-strength stainless steel with a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface. Two main support rods and two smaller support rods are fixed to the base, forming two stable triangular support structures to ensure the equipment's stability during operation.
[0007] 2. Main support rod (2) and small support rod (3)
[0008] The main support rod (2) is the main support rod of the equipment, which is vertically welded to both sides of the base and is used to support the stainless steel frame (4) and filter basket (5) on the upper part of the equipment. The main support rod (2) has an adjustment hole, and the height of the support rod can be adjusted by screwing in the fixing screw to adapt to the different heights of the kitchen waste bins.
[0009] The small support rod (3) forms a triangular structure with the main support rod (2), and is fixedly connected to the main support rod (2) and the square stainless steel plate base (1) by welding, which further enhances the anti-tilting ability and load-bearing capacity of the solid-liquid separation frame.
[0010] 3. Stainless steel frame (4)
[0011] A stainless steel frame (4) is located on top of the equipment and welded to the main support rod (2) to support the stainless steel filter basket (5). Its inner edges are rounded to ensure that the filter basket is placed stably and to prevent jamming or scratching during operation. The size of the stainless steel frame matches the filter basket, with the inside of the frame being slightly larger than the outer edge of the filter basket by about 1 mm, which facilitates the insertion and removal of the filter basket.
[0012] 4. Stainless steel filter basket (5)
[0013] The stainless steel filter basket (5) is the core component of the equipment. It is placed inside the stainless steel frame (4) and can hold kitchen waste for solid-liquid separation. Its bottom design is as follows: the bottom three-quarters of the stainless steel filter basket (5) is hollowed out with evenly distributed small circular holes for quick discharge of oil-water mixture; the bottom front quarter is a sloping stainless steel plate that connects with the bottom surface to form a smooth transition slope. This sloping plate is set near the front of the filter basket at an angle of 30° to guide solid waste to be poured forward for easy garbage cleaning. The other three vertical surfaces of the stainless steel filter basket (5) (the back and two sides) are also hollowed out with evenly arranged circular holes of 3-5 mm in diameter to increase the liquid outflow area while maintaining the strength of the filter basket. The top of the filter basket has smooth edges that are slightly higher than the stainless steel frame (4) for easy operation and garbage accumulation; an arc-shaped handle is installed at the top rear for easy lifting or dumping of garbage by the operator.
[0014] 5. Stainless steel handle (6)
[0015] A stainless steel handle (6) is provided at the upper rear of the stainless steel filter basket (5). The operator can easily lift the stainless steel filter basket (5) and rotate it downwards to pour the separated kitchen solid waste into the kitchen waste bin below.
[0016] 6. Rearward-inclined deflector (7)
[0017] A backward-sloping stainless steel guide plate is installed below the filter basket, slightly longer than the hollow area at the bottom of the stainless steel filter basket (5), to collect and guide the liquid discharged from the hollow part at the bottom of the filter basket. The backward-sloping guide plate (7) is fixed to the bottom structure of the stainless steel frame by welding to ensure its stability.
[0018] 7. Stainless steel round tube (8)
[0019] A vertically downward stainless steel tube (8) is provided at the middle of the lowest point of the rearward deflector (7). The stainless steel tube (8) is used to guide the liquid to a designated wastewater collection device or drainage system to avoid liquid leakage from affecting the surrounding environment.
[0020] The entire device is constructed of high-strength stainless steel, ensuring a lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant structure. The combination of a stainless steel base and a triangular support structure enhances the device's stability and safety. This non-powered design minimizes space requirements, facilitating operation and cleaning, and is suitable for various scenarios within the food waste treatment industry. Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are specifically manifested in:
[0021] Highly efficient solid-liquid separation: Through the combination of perforated design and non-perforated stainless steel plates, it can effectively separate solid waste and oil-water mixtures in kitchen waste.
[0022] Height adjustable: The support rod is designed with multiple adjustable positions to accommodate different sizes of kitchen waste bins, making it easy to use.
[0023] Easy to operate: The non-powered design allows for solid-liquid separation by manually pushing the filter basket, saving energy and reducing the failure rate.
[0024] Lightweight and easy to move: The overall design of the equipment is lightweight and does not take up much space, making it suitable for flexible use in the catering industry and kitchen environment.
[0025] Environmental friendliness and practicality: By effectively separating solid and liquid waste, it helps to improve waste treatment efficiency and reduce environmental pollution. Attached Figure Description

Example
[0036] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1-4 This invention provides a stainless steel solid-liquid separation rack for food waste. To verify the function and effect of this invention, it was applied to a food waste treatment scenario. The specific operation is as follows:
[0037] 1. Equipment installation
[0038] The square stainless steel plate base (1) is placed directly on a flat ground, ensuring the overall stability of the equipment. Depending on usage requirements, the height of the main support rod (2) can be adjusted to 60-80 cm by adjusting the adjustment holes and securing it with screws and nuts, to accommodate common medium-to-large-sized kitchen waste bins on the market. The triangular structure formed by the small support rod (3) and the main support rod (2) ensures that the equipment does not tilt or deform under full load.
[0039] 2. Waste disposal operations
[0040] Waste disposal: Dispose of kitchen waste into the stainless steel filter basket (5). The top edge of the stainless steel filter basket is designed to be slightly higher than the stainless steel frame (4) to ensure that the waste can be safely disposed of without overflowing.
[0041] Solid-liquid separation: The oil-water mixture in food waste is rapidly discharged through the perforated area in the rear three-quarters of the bottom of the filter basket. The evenly distributed perforations ensure smooth oil-water drainage while preventing larger solid particles from passing through. A sloping stainless steel plate in the front quarter of the bottom guides solid waste towards the front of the filter basket for easy and concentrated emptying. The perforated design on the sides and back of the filter basket further increases the drainage area, accelerating the solid-liquid separation process of food waste.
[0042] Liquid collection and discharge: The oil-water mixture discharged through the stainless steel filter basket (5) flows into the backward-inclined guide plate (7) at the bottom of the stainless steel frame (4), and is concentrated and discharged into the stainless steel round pipe (8) along the inclined direction of the guide plate. The stainless steel round pipe (8) guides the liquid into the wastewater collection device connected below to prevent liquid leakage from affecting the surrounding environment.
[0043] 3. Cleaning up kitchen waste and solid waste
[0044] After separation, the solid waste from the kitchen waste is collected and piled up in a stainless steel filter basket (5). The operator lifts the stainless steel filter basket (5) using the stainless steel handle (6) at the top rear and pours the solid waste from the kitchen waste into the food waste bin below. The entire operation process is simple and efficient, meeting the needs of daily use.
[0045] This invention enables rapid solid-liquid separation of food waste during application. The optimized hollow design effectively improves liquid separation efficiency, while the coordinated design of the inclined guide plate and drainage pipe effectively prevents liquid leakage. The overall equipment operates stably and is easy to clean, demonstrating its high efficiency and practicality in food waste treatment, and significantly reducing labor costs and the difficulty of subsequent processing.
[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
