Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tableware separation, in particular to a separation structure and a tableware separation device. Background Art

[0002] During the tableware washing process, a separation device is often provided at the front end of the washing process to effectively separate the different types of tableware being washed. Taking the separation of plates, bowls and cups as an example, specifically, the device can filter the bowls, cups and other items in the tableware to the bottom of the device, while retaining the plates on the top of the device. Through this separation method, the plates are effectively separated, the efficiency and effect of the subsequent washing process are improved, and the problems caused by the mixing of tableware are avoided, thereby improving the overall cleaning quality and the service life of the tableware.

[0003] In the prior art, the separation structure of the separation device is composed of parallel shafts and longitudinal brackets to form a grid. When the tableware passes through the grid, bowls and cups smaller than the grid cavity size fall from the grid cavity to the bottom of the device, while the plate remains on the separation structure to achieve separation. It can still effectively separate the bowl and plate when the diameter difference between the bowl and plate is large, but if the diameter difference between the bowl and plate is small, due to the limitation of this structural design, the plate is easy to fall from the opposite corner of the cavity to the bowl during the separation process, causing blockage and resulting in separation failure. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a separation structure which is more adaptable and can effectively separate the plate and the bowl without causing blockage, especially for working conditions where the diameter difference between the bowl and the plate is small.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0008] The structure designs the part of the support block located in the cavity into an arc shape, which reduces the length of the diagonal of the cavity surrounded by the shaft and the bracket. Even if the diameter difference between the bowl and the plate is small, it can ensure that the bowl falls smoothly from the cavity while the plate remains on the bracket. In this way, the passage of the bowl will not be blocked and the separation operation can be completed smoothly. It can be seen that the structure has stronger applicability.

[0009] As a preferred solution, the brackets include at least two and are arranged in parallel longitudinally, and the shafts include at least two and are arranged in parallel transversely.

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 description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", etc. indicate the orientation or position relationship based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or position relationship in which the utility model product is usually placed when in use, which is only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] The following is a description of some embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0024] During the tableware washing process, a separation device is often provided at the front end of the washing process to effectively separate the different types of tableware being washed. In the prior art, the separation structure of the separation device is composed of parallel shafts 2 and longitudinal brackets 1 forming a grid that runs through the top and bottom. When the tableware passes through the grid, bowls 4 and cups that are smaller than the grid size fall from the cavity of the grid to the bottom of the device, while plates that are larger than the grid size remain on the separation structure to achieve separation. It can still effectively separate the bowl 4 and the plate when the diameter difference between the bowl 4 and the plate is large, but if the diameter difference between the bowl 4 and the plate is small, due to the limitation of this structural design, the plate is easy to fall from the diagonal of the cavity to the channel of the bowl 4 during the separation process, causing blockage and resulting in separation failure.

[0025] In order to better understand the problems existing in the prior art, an example is given:

[0026] In Guangdong, there is a common tableware combination, in which the diameter of the bowl 4 is 14.5 cm and the diameter of the plate is 16 cm. When the customer asks for this combination to be cleaned, it is necessary to ensure that the bowl 4 is filtered out in actual production.

[0027] The prior art uses a square cavity. In order to allow the bowl 4 to pass through smoothly, assume that the side length we design is 14.6 cm: then the diagonal gap = 14.6×1.414≈20.65 cm. This diagonal gap (20.65 cm) is much larger than the diameter of the plate (16 cm), which will cause the plate to fall to the lower channel in an oblique downward posture. On the contrary, if we design the diagonal according to the diameter of the plate, then its side length will be smaller than the diameter of the bowl 4 (14.5 cm), resulting in the inability of the bowl 4 to pass through. It can be seen that if the prior art solution is adopted, no matter how the size of the cavity is adjusted, it is impossible to simultaneously meet the combined cleaning needs of the bowl 4 and the plate.

[0028] In view of this, if Figure 1As shown, the utility model proposes a separation structure, which includes: a bracket 1, a shaft 2 and a support block 3. The shaft 2 is connected to the bracket 1 and surrounded by a cavity. For example, two brackets 1 are provided and arranged side by side longitudinally, and two shafts 2 are provided and arranged side by side transversely. The two ends of each shaft 2 are respectively connected to the opposite side of the two brackets 1. The cavity surrounded by the shaft 2 and the bracket 1 is connected from top to bottom to ensure that the bowl 4 can fall from the cavity. Correspondingly, four support blocks 3 are provided and are respectively installed at the two ends of the shaft 2; at least the part of the support block 3 located in the cavity is configured with an arc module.

[0029] By adopting the above solution, the structure designs the part of the support block 3 located in the cavity into an arc shape, which reduces the length of the diagonal of the cavity surrounded by the shaft 2 and the bracket 1. Even if the diameter difference between the bowl 4 and the plate is small, it can ensure that the bowl 4 falls smoothly from the cavity, while the plate remains on the bracket 1. In this way, the plate will not fall from the cavity to the passage of the bowl 4 and cause blockage, ensuring the smooth completion of the separation operation. Therefore, the structure is more applicable and practical, and can better meet the needs of customers.

[0030] As a preferred solution, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer wall of each support block 3 is configured as an inner concave arc surface. In this way, the four inner corner areas of the cavity are arc-shaped transitions, which play a guiding role in the process of the bowl 4 passing through the cavity downward, so that the bowl 4 is not easy to stay on the bracket 1.

[0031] As a preferred solution, Figure 2 As shown, the length of the diagonal of the support block 3 is designed to be less than or equal to the length and / or width of the cavity. Exemplarily, the diagonal is defined as the line between the arc midpoint of the support block 3 located at the lower left corner and the arc midpoint of the support block 3 located at the upper right corner. The length of the diagonal is less than the side length of the cavity. In this way, the size of the grid is maximized, which facilitates the falling of bowls 4\cups, etc. from the grid gaps and improves the separation efficiency. In addition, the plate cannot pass through the cavity in an oblique downward posture, thereby preventing the plate from entering the passage of the bowl 4 / cup and causing blockage.

[0032] As a preferred solution, Figure 1 As shown, the support block 3 is configured in a truncated cone shape, and the support block 3 is sleeved on the shaft 2. Two support blocks 3 are installed on at least one bracket 1, and the end faces of the two support blocks 3 are attached to the opposite sides of the bracket 1. Both ends of the shaft 2 can pass through the bracket 1 and be riveted to the bracket 1 or detachably connected by fasteners. This makes the separation structure stable and reliable, and can bear the weight of tableware and the workload of the dishwasher.

[0033] The utility model also provides a tableware separation device, including any of the above separation structures. The separation device can be used in a dishwasher / dishwashing line to improve work efficiency, such as Figure 2As shown, multiple separation structures are provided and connected together. The separation device adopts the above separation structure, which is more applicable, can effectively separate the plate and the bowl 4 and is not easy to be blocked, especially for the working condition where the diameter difference between the bowl 4 and the plate is small; it avoids the problem of incomplete cleaning caused by the mixing of tableware and improves the cleaning efficiency.
