DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0028] Embodiment 1, as Figures 1 to 4 A protein separator is shown, which is provided with a barrel body 1, which includes a main body 19 and a reducing portion 20. A shock absorbing platform 21 is provided at the bottom of the barrel body 1. The reducing portion 20 is a structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The lower part of the reducing portion 20 is connected to the main body 19, and the upper part is connected to the guide pipe 9. An inlet pipe 2 and an outlet pipe 3 are provided on the barrel body 1. The inlet pipe 2 is connected to the lower position of the outer surface of the main body 19 of the barrel body 1, and the outlet pipe 3 is connected to the upper position of the outer surface of the main body 19 of the barrel body 1.

[0029] The protein separator also includes a foam generator 4 for generating foam and a foam removing device 5. The bubble generator includes a pump body 22 and an air pipe 23. The pump body 22 is arranged on a shock absorbing platform 21. The air pipe 23 is connected to the barrel body 1 and is arranged between the water inlet pipe 2 and the water outlet pipe 3. When the equipment is working, the foam generator 4 generates a large amount of foam in the water body. Before the foam flows upward from the main body 19 into the guide pipe 9, it passes through the reducing portion 20. The structure of the reducing portion 20 with a wide bottom and a narrow top can make the foam gather, which is convenient for the foam to enter the foam collecting chamber 6, thereby achieving a better defoaming effect. The water inlet is arranged at the bottom. After the water flow enters, a large amount of foam is generated through the foam generator 4, so that the protein in the water flows into the foam collecting chamber 6 along with the foam, and the water flow separated from the protein is discharged from the drain pipe in the middle 14. The setting of the water inlet and the drain position can make the water flow generate sufficient foam and achieve a better protein separation effect.

[0030] The bubble generator is an air pump that injects air through the air pipe 23 and the barrel body 1 to generate foam. The connecting position of the air pipe 23 and the barrel body 1 is set between the water inlet pipe 2 and the water outlet pipe 3, which can ensure that the protein in the water flow has been separated from the water flow through the foam before the water flow is discharged from the water outlet pipe 3, thereby achieving a better protein separation effect.

[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 The foam removal device 5 shown includes a foam collecting chamber 6, a sewage outlet 7 and a defoaming device 8. The foam collecting chamber 6 is composed of a top cover 13, a middle part 14, and an annular bottom plate 15. The top cover 13 of the foam collecting chamber 6 is a conical structure. One end of the guide tube 9 is arranged on the annular bottom plate 15, and the other end is arranged in the foam collecting chamber 6. The upper surface of the guide tube 9 is higher than the annular bottom plate 15.

[0032] The foam generator 4 is arranged on the barrel body 1, the foam removing device 5 is arranged on the top of the barrel body 1, a guide pipe 9 is arranged inside the foam collecting chamber 6, the guide pipe 9 is connected with the barrel body 1, and the defoaming device 8 is arranged in the foam collecting chamber 6. The defoaming device 8 includes a defoaming rod 10, a connecting rod 11 and a driver 12 that drives the connecting rod 11 to rotate. The defoaming rod 10 is connected to the driver 12 through the connecting rod 11, and the number of defoaming rods 10 of the defoaming device 8 is 2.

[0033] The defoaming rod 10 is arranged outside the guide tube 9 and is arranged perpendicular to the connecting rod 11. The defoaming rod 10 includes a connecting portion 16 and a defoaming portion 17. The defoaming portion 17 has circumferentially distributed spikes. The driver 12 is a motor, which drives the defoaming rod 10 to move along an arc through the connecting rod 11, so that the spikes will puncture the foam, and impurities such as protein attached to the foam will be discharged from the sewage outlet 7.

[0034] The foam flows into the foam collection chamber 6 from the guide pipe 9 and gathers outside the guide pipe 9. The defoaming rod 10 is arranged outside the guide pipe 9 to achieve a better defoaming effect, and prevent the problem that the foam is difficult to break by itself and cannot be recovered in time. The connecting rod is stepped. The top cover 13 of the foam collection chamber 6 is set to be conical, and the space between the connecting rod and the top cover 13 is reduced. The conical top cover 13 can play a role in guiding the flow, so that the foam is gathered in the foam collection chamber 6 to prevent the defoaming rod 10 from being unable to puncture the foam due to excessive accumulation of foam on the top cover 13, and helps to puncture the foam in time to collect impurities such as protein.

[0035] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 The sewage outlet 7 is arranged on the bottom plate 15, and the foam removal device 5 also includes a sewage pipe 18, which is connected to the sewage outlet 7 and is inclined outward. The sewage pipe 18 is arranged at the sewage outlet 7 and is arranged to be inclined outward to facilitate the recovery of impurities such as protein.

[0036] During the use of the protein separator, water flows from the water inlet pipe 2 into the foam generator 4 to generate a large number of bubbles inside the water. As the bubbles expand, they flow into the foam collecting chamber 6 through the guide pipe 9. The driver 12 of the defoaming device 8 drives the connecting rod 11 and the defoaming rod 10 to rotate, puncturing the foam in the foam collecting chamber 6 to separate the protein on the surface of the foam from the water and flowing out from the sewage outlet 7. By providing the foam collecting chamber 6 and the foam removing device 5, the foam entering the foam collecting chamber 6 is promptly broken, and the protein and related impurities in the water flow are promptly collected, thereby preventing the problem of inability to promptly recover protein impurities due to the inability of the foam to break itself.

[0037] Embodiment 2, as Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that in the above-mentioned protein skimmer, the top cover 13 of the foam collecting chamber 6 is a horizontal structure, and the connecting rod is a straight rod. Compared with the structure of the first embodiment, the structure of this embodiment is easy to process and manufacture.

[0038] The above describes the implementation mode of the utility model in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the utility model is not limited to the above implementation mode. For ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the present invention, and these should also be regarded as belonging to the protection scope of the present utility model.
