Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0021] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "install", "connect", "connect", "fix" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0022] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them.

A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0023] Referring to the drawings of the specification, a water vapor separation device includes a main body 10, which is mainly a box body. A water outlet 11 and a steam outlet 12 are arranged on the lower side of the main body, which can realize the separation of water vapor and ensure that the hot water flowing out of the water outlet has excellent water splashes. A cavity 13 that can be connected with the water outlet and the steam outlet is arranged in the main body. The cavity can also be called: a water vapor separation chamber. A steam inlet 14 that can be connected with the steam outlet is arranged above the cavity. Because after the water vapor is separated, the steam is above the water, the steam is directly discharged from the steam outlet through the steam inlet, and the water can be discharged to the water outlet, so as to separate the water vapor; a water inlet is also arranged on the main body, and a water baffle 20 is also arranged in the main body. The water flow flowing into the main body from the water inlet can hit the water baffle and then flow into the cavity. The water baffle can block the water flow flowing into the water inlet to prevent the water flow and steam from directly flowing to the water outlet for discharge, so that the water vapor separation operation cannot be completed.

[0024] In one use, the water inlet includes a cold water inlet 31 and a hot water inlet 32, so that the cold water and hot water can be regulated at the front end, and water of a desired temperature can flow out from the water outlet. The water flowing into the cold water inlet and the hot water inlet can hit the water baffle to form water vapor separation and flow into the cavity, that is, the two water flows form water and steam after hitting the water baffle, and then the water vapor separation operation is performed in the cavity.

[0025] Preferably, an annular baffle 40 is provided in the cavity, and the inner periphery of the annular baffle can be connected with the steam outlet. It can also be said that: the inner periphery of the annular baffle forms a channel for circulating steam, and a notch 41 is provided above the annular baffle, and the notch can form the steam inlet with the main body; the cavity on the outer periphery of the annular baffle can be connected with the water outlet, and when water vapor is generated, the water flows directly to the water outlet, and the steam at the top enters the annular baffle through the notch and is discharged from the steam outlet.

[0026] Furthermore, the annular baffle includes a first arc plate 42 and a second arc plate 43, the two ends of the first arc plate and the second arc plate are respectively connected via a connecting plate 44, and the gap is formed between the upper end of the second arc plate and the upper ends of the two connecting plates, that is, there is a height difference between the second arc plate and the two connecting plates, thereby forming a gap.

[0027] Furthermore, the first curved plate is coaxially arranged with the second curved plate, and the first curved plate is located at the outer periphery of the second curved plate. The water flow entering the cavity can flow to the water outlet after passing through the first curved plate. In one embodiment, the curvature angles of the first curved plate and the second curved plate can be equal and greater than 180°, and the water outlet can be a fan-shaped opening, which can form a circle with the outline of the first annular plate.

[0028] Preferably, a guide plate 50 is also provided in the body. The guide plate is located on both sides of the rear end of the water baffle. The water flowing through the water baffle can flow to the water outlet through the guide plate. After the water hits the water baffle, it flows backwards and then passes through the guide plate. The guide plate can not only prevent the water flow from flowing directly to the water outlet, but also perform a second impact, so that the water vapor is fully separated, and finally the water vapor flows out from different outlets.

[0029] Specifically, the utility model comprises a cavity and a cold water and hot water inlet connected to the cavity. The cavity is provided with a water baffle to prevent water from rushing directly into the water outlet. The cavity has two outlets, and there is an annular baffle between the two outlets. When cold water and hot water are inflowing, the water baffle will block the straight water flow to slow it down and prevent it from rushing directly into the water outlet. At this time, the water vapor mixed water flow passes through the cavity. Since the water vapor mixed water flow in the cavity has no pressure and the density of gas is much smaller than that of water, the water vapor in the cavity will automatically separate into gas on the top and water on the bottom. The hot water flows out through the water outlet to the water outlet joint for discharge, and the steam flows through the inside of the annular baffle and then flows from the steam outlet to the water outlet joint for discharge, thereby achieving the purpose of water vapor separation.

[0030] The above description shows and describes the preferred embodiments of the utility model. As mentioned above, it should be understood that the utility model is not limited to the form disclosed herein, and should not be regarded as excluding other embodiments, but can be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments, and can be modified within the scope of the utility model concept described herein through the above teachings or the technology or knowledge of the relevant field. The changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art do not depart from the spirit and scope of the utility model, and should be within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the utility model.
