Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen waste treatment, and particularly relates to an oil-water separation structure applied to kitchen waste treatment equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of the urbanization process and the improvement of people's living standards, the amount of kitchen waste generated by families and the catering industry is increasing day by day. The treatment of kitchen waste is not only related to environmental sanitation and resource utilization, but also directly affects the sustainable development of the urban ecological environment. In the design and application of kitchen waste treatment equipment, oil-water separation is an important link, and its treatment effect is directly related to the efficiency and quality of subsequent fermentation and resource recovery.

[0003] Deficiencies of Existing Kitchen Waste Treatment Equipment

[0004] Existing kitchen waste treatment equipment usually includes various functions such as crushing, fermentation, and waste discharge. However, in actual application, there is generally a significant defect, that is, the lack of an effective oil-water separation structure. This defect brings the following main problems:

[0005] Due to the lack of a built-in oil-water separation structure, the oil and water in the kitchen waste must be separated outside the equipment, which not only increases the complexity of the treatment process, but also requires additional equipment and operation steps, resulting in inconvenient use and low efficiency.

[0006] Separating oil and water outside the equipment may cause oil leakage or spillage, polluting the working environment and the surrounding environment. In addition, the unseparated oil-water mixture entering the subsequent treatment link will affect the activity of fermentation microorganisms, reduce the fermentation efficiency, and may cause secondary pollution.

[0007] The oil-water mixture directly enters the waste treatment link, and the oil cannot be effectively recovered and utilized, resulting in waste of resources. Oil is a renewable energy source. If it can be effectively separated and recovered, it can be used to produce biofuels or other high-value-added products, improving resource utilization efficiency.

[0008] Equipment without an oil-water separation function is prone to equipment damage or blockage due to oil accumulation, increasing the maintenance cost and frequency, and shortening the service life of the equipment.

[0036] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, an oil-water separation structure applied to a kitchen waste treatment equipment in this embodiment includes:

[0037] An oil-water separation device 1, including an oil-water separation tank 11, a kitchen waste input port 12 is provided on the oil-water separation tank 11, a kitchen waste separation cavity 13 communicating with the kitchen waste input port 12 is provided inside the oil-water separation tank 11, an oil-water separation structure 14 is provided inside the kitchen waste separation cavity 13, and the oil-water separation structure 14 can separate kitchen waste from oil and water;

[0039] Specifically, the oil-water separation structure of this embodiment includes an oil-water separation device, which comprises an oil-water separation tank provided with a kitchen waste input port. The kitchen waste input port allows users to directly put kitchen waste into the device. Inside the oil-water separation tank, there is a kitchen waste separation cavity, which is communicated with the kitchen waste input port and is used to receive and preliminarily process the input kitchen waste. An oil-water separation structure is provided in the kitchen waste separation cavity to effectively separate the oil and water in the kitchen waste. Then, through the kitchen waste conveying structure, the kitchen waste separated by the oil-water separation device is guided to the fermentation device 2, and then the kitchen waste is degraded by microbial mixing to convert the kitchen waste into useful fertilizers or energy. With such a design, the new kitchen waste treatment equipment equipped with this application can have the function of oil-water separation, effectively separating the oil and water in the kitchen waste. The separated oil and water can be collected and treated separately, thereby reducing environmental pollution and improving the resource recovery rate. Moreover, it ensures that the kitchen waste can smoothly transition from the oil-water separation stage to the fermentation and degradation stage, and can separate the oil and water of the kitchen waste as much as possible, so that the kitchen waste will not have too much residual oil and water, affecting the activity of microorganisms and reducing the degradation effect of microorganisms.

[0040] Preferably, the oil-water separation device 1 of this embodiment is located above the fermentation device 2. With such a design, the vertical space can be effectively utilized, and the floor area of the equipment can be reduced.

[0041] Preferably, with such a layout, after the kitchen waste is separated from oil and water, it can directly flow into the fermentation device 2 by gravity or a simple conveying mechanism, such as a ramp or a screw conveyor, simplifying the conveying process and reducing energy consumption.

[0042] Preferably, a kitchen waste output port 113 is provided at the bottom of the oil-water separation device, and this outlet is connected to the top inlet of the fermentation device 2. This design ensures that the separated kitchen waste can smoothly flow into the fermentation cavity.

[0043] Through this optimized layout design, the new kitchen waste treatment equipment not only improves the treatment efficiency but also simplifies the operation process, making the equipment more suitable for use in various environments and further promoting the environmental protection and sustainable development of kitchen waste treatment.

[0044] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, a mechanical connection component is provided on the oil-water separation device 1 of this embodiment. The mechanical connection component includes a hinged member 10, and the hinged member 10 can make the oil-water separation device 1 flip open on the fermentation device 2.

[0045] Preferably, the hinged member allows the oil-water separation device to rotate relative to the fermentation device 2, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the equipment. This design is convenient for users to clean, maintain, and inspect the equipment.

[0046] Through the hinge member, the user can easily flip open the oil-water separation device from the fermentation device 2, which makes it easier for the user to maintain and clean the oil-water separation device and the fermentation device 2. It is convenient to check and replace the internal filter or other components.

[0047] Preferably, the flip-open design reduces the number of components that need to be disassembled during maintenance, thus simplifying the maintenance process. The user can perform necessary maintenance and cleaning without disassembling the entire device, reducing the maintenance time.

[0048] Preferably, the mechanical connection structure can also be fixed by bolts, buckles, etc. or other mechanical connectors.

[0049] In some other embodiments, the fermentation device 2 includes a fermentation tank 22, the fermentation chamber 21 is located inside the fermentation tank 22, and the fermentation tank 22 and the oil-water separation tank 11 are of an integrally formed structure. This design simplifies the manufacturing process of the device, enhances the structural stability and sealing performance. The integrally formed structure also reduces potential leakage points at the joints, improves the reliability of the device, and ensures the device is structurally compact, facilitating installation and movement.

[0050] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the oil-water separation tank 11 of this embodiment includes a kitchen waste conveying part 111 and an oil-water guiding part 112. The kitchen waste separation chamber 13 is located inside the kitchen waste conveying part 111. The kitchen waste outlet 113 is provided on the oil-water separation tank 11 and communicates with the kitchen waste separation chamber 13. The kitchen waste conveying structure 3 includes a conveying component 31 provided inside the kitchen waste conveying part 111, and the conveying component 31 can convey the kitchen waste in the kitchen waste separation chamber 13 to the kitchen waste outlet 113;

[0051] The oil-water separation structure 14 includes a filtering component 141 provided between the kitchen waste conveying part 111 and the oil-water guiding part 112, and the filtering component 141 can guide the oil and water in the kitchen waste conveying part 111 to the oil-water guiding part 112.

[0052] Specifically, the oil-water separation tank includes a kitchen waste conveying part, in which a kitchen waste separation chamber is provided. The kitchen waste separation chamber is used to temporarily store kitchen waste and separate oil and water from the kitchen waste. The oil-water separation tank also includes an oil-water guiding part, which is used to receive the oil and water separated from the kitchen waste.

[0053] Specifically, conveying components are provided inside the kitchen waste conveying part, and these components can convey the kitchen waste in the kitchen waste separation chamber to the kitchen waste outlet on the oil-water separation tank. The conveying components can be screw conveyors, conveyor belts or other mechanical conveying devices.

[0054] Preferably, a filtering component is provided between the kitchen waste conveying part and the oil-water guiding part. The function of the filtering component is to guide the oil and water in the kitchen waste conveying part into the oil-water guiding part, and block the kitchen waste to prevent it from entering the oil-water guiding part, thereby realizing the separation of oil and water.

[0055] Preferably, the filtering component may include a filter screen, a sieve plate and other filtering materials.

[0056] Operation process: Kitchen waste is first put into the kitchen waste separation cavity, and then pushed to the kitchen waste outlet through the conveying component.

[0057] During the conveying process or the static process of the kitchen waste, the filtering component filters the kitchen waste and the oil and water, and guides the oil and water to the oil-water guiding part, while the solid kitchen waste is continuously conveyed to the subsequent treatment link.

[0058] By adopting the design of the synergistic effect of the conveying component and the filtering component, the effective separation of oil and water in the kitchen waste can be realized, the treatment efficiency can be improved, and the design of the conveying component and the filtering component makes the operation and maintenance more convenient, reduces the need for manual intervention, and enables the kitchen waste treatment equipment to achieve automation.

[0059] Through this design, the new kitchen waste treatment equipment not only improves the treatment efficiency, but also simplifies the operation process, makes the equipment more suitable for use in various environments, and further promotes the environmental protection and sustainable development of kitchen waste treatment.

[0060] Preferably, the fermentation device 2 of this embodiment is also provided with a kitchen waste input port 23 corresponding to the kitchen waste output port 113. The kitchen waste input port 23 is the top inlet of the fermentation device 2 mentioned above, and the kitchen waste output port 113 is the outlet on the oil-water separation device 1 mentioned above.

[0061] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the conveying component 31 of this embodiment includes a conveying screw 311 and a first driving component 312, and the first driving component 312 is in transmission connection with the conveying screw 311.

[0062] The conveying component 31 of this embodiment includes a conveying screw 1411 and a first driving component 1412, and the first driving component 1412 is in transmission connection with the conveying screw 1411.

[0063] Preferably, the conveying component includes a conveying screw for carrying, lifting or compressing the kitchen waste. In this application, the conveying screw is particularly suitable for viscous kitchen waste because its spiral design can effectively push the waste to move along the axial direction of the screw.

[0064] Specifically, the first driving component is in transmission connection with the conveying screw, responsible for providing power to rotate the conveying screw. This driving component can be an electric motor, which is connected to the conveying screw through mechanical transmission devices such as belts, chains or gears.

[0065] Specifically, when the first driving component is started, it transmits power to the conveying screw, causing the conveying screw to start rotating. As the conveying screw rotates, the kitchen waste in the kitchen waste separation cavity is captured by the spiral blades and pushed forward, and finally conveyed to the kitchen waste outlet. The conveying screw can provide continuous and uniform material flow, which is crucial for maintaining the stability of the entire treatment process.

[0066] As Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a first door component is provided on the oil-water separation tank 11 of this embodiment. The first door component includes a first door 115 and a second driving component 116. The second driving component 116 can drive the first door 115 to block or move away from the kitchen waste outlet 113.

[0067] Specifically, a first door is provided on the oil-water separation tank. This is a movable door component for blocking or opening the kitchen waste outlet. The design of the first door can be a sliding type, a hinge type or other mechanical structures to adapt to different operation requirements.

[0068] Specifically, the first door component further includes a second driving component, which is a power source for driving the first door to perform opening or closing actions. The second driving component may be an electric motor, a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, and is connected to the first door through mechanical connections such as connecting rods, gears or chains.

[0069] When it is necessary to prevent the kitchen waste from overflowing from the outlet or maintain the sealing of the equipment, the second driving component will drive the first door to move to the blocking position, thus closing the kitchen waste outlet.

[0070] When it is necessary to convey the kitchen waste to the next treatment stage, the second driving component will move the first door away from the kitchen waste outlet, thus opening the outlet and allowing the kitchen waste to pass through.

[0071] Through the control of the second driving component, the opening and closing of the first door can be automated, reducing the need for manual operation and improving the operation efficiency.

[0072] As Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a door cleaning component is also provided on the oil-water separation tank 11 of this embodiment. The door cleaning component includes a clean water output nozzle 117 and a second water body providing component. The second water body providing component is communicated with the clean water output nozzle 117, and the second water body providing component can provide water to be sprayed out at the clean water output nozzle 117 to clean the surface of the first door 115.

[0073] Preferably, the door cleaning component includes one or more clean water output nozzles located at appropriate positions of the oil-water separation tank 11 for spraying clean water to clean the surface of the door. The nozzles can be designed to be fixed or adjustable to accommodate doors of different sizes and shapes.

[0074] Specifically, the door cleaning component further includes a second water body providing assembly, which is a water supply system responsible for providing cleaning water. The second water body providing assembly may include a water pump, a water tank, a pipeline system, etc., to ensure that clean water can be delivered to the clean water output nozzles.

[0075] When the first door needs to be cleaned, the second water body providing assembly is activated to deliver clean water through the pipeline to the clean water output nozzles. The nozzles then spray the clean water onto the surface of the first door to wash away residual kitchen waste, oil stains, and other stains. The cleaning operation can be automated, triggered by a preset program or sensor; or manual, initiated by an operator as needed.

[0076] The door cleaning component ensures regular cleaning of the surface of the first door, reduces the growth of bacteria and odors, improves the hygiene standard of the equipment. The automated cleaning system reduces the need for manual cleaning, saves labor costs, and improves cleaning efficiency. Regular cleaning and maintenance help extend the service life of the equipment, reduce equipment failures caused by dirt accumulation, and can effectively prevent kitchen waste from drying and hardening on the first door, hindering the closing of the first door, or causing the first door to be unable to seal the kitchen waste outlet 113 tightly.

[0077] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the second water body providing assembly in this embodiment outputs hot water, which is convenient for cleaning the oil stains on the surface of the first door 115 and the kitchen waste adhering to the surface of the first door 115.

[0078] Preferably, the second water body providing assembly not only includes a water pump, a water tank, and a pipeline system, but also integrates a heating device. The heating device can be an electric heater, a steam heater, or other effective heating methods for heating the water to an appropriate temperature.

[0079] Specifically, the second water body providing assembly can heat the water to a specific temperature and then deliver it through the pipeline system to the clean water output nozzles. When the first door needs to be cleaned, the heated hot water will be sprayed onto the surface of the first door through the clean water output nozzles. The hot water can effectively dissolve the oil stains and loosen the adhered kitchen waste, thus cleaning the first door more thoroughly. The use of hot water can significantly improve the cleaning effect, especially when dealing with oil stains and kitchen waste with strong adhesion. The hot water can dissolve and remove these dirt more quickly.

[0080] The hot water cleaning system can reduce the cleaning time and the usage amount of cleaning agents, lower the cleaning cost and the impact on the environment. Moreover, hot water cleaning can effectively kill bacteria and microorganisms on the surface, further improving the hygiene standard of the equipment and meeting the strict requirements of the food processing and catering industries.

[0081] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the oil-water guiding part 112 of this embodiment is located at the bottom of the food waste conveying part 111. The filtering component 141 includes a partition plate arranged between the food waste conveying part 111 and the oil-water guiding part 112 and a plurality of filtering holes arranged on the partition plate. The oil and water in the food waste conveying part 111 can flow into the oil-water guiding part 112 through the filtering holes.

[0082] Specifically, the oil-water guiding part is located at the bottom of the food waste conveying part, which is a special area for collecting and separating oil and water. This part is designed with a separating device for collecting oil and water, which can be various effective separating equipment such as an oil-water separator.

[0083] The food waste conveying part is located above the oil-water guiding part and is used for conveying food waste to a specific treatment area. This part uses a conveying component 31 to reliably transport the food waste.

[0084] Specifically, the filtering component includes a partition plate arranged between the food waste conveying part and the oil-water guiding part. The main function of the partition plate is to separate food waste and liquid. A plurality of filtering holes are arranged on the partition plate. The size and distribution of these holes are precisely designed to allow oil and water to pass through while blocking larger solid food waste. Through these filtering holes, liquid parts such as grease and water can flow into the lower oil-water guiding part, while the solid part remains in the food waste conveying part.

[0085] During the food waste conveying process, solid waste moves in the conveying part, while the mixed liquid part such as grease and water flows into the oil-water guiding part through the filtering holes on the partition plate.

[0086] Preferably, the liquid flowing into the oil-water guiding part undergoes further oil-water separation here. Through precipitation, gravity separation or other separation methods, the oil and water are effectively separated. The oil floats on the upper layer and the water sinks to the lower layer, facilitating subsequent treatment and discharge.

[0087] By arranging a filtering component between the food waste conveying part and the oil-water guiding part, solid-liquid separation is achieved, and the efficiency of oil-water separation is improved.

[0088] The design of the filtering holes can effectively prevent larger solid particles from entering the oil-water guiding part, reduce the possibility of system blockage, and improve the stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0089] Through preliminary filtration and separation, the complexity and workload of subsequent processing steps are reduced, and the operating efficiency of the entire system is improved.

[0090] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the partition board, the oil-water guiding part 112, and the food waste conveying part 111 of this embodiment are of an integrally formed structure. Preferably, the integrally formed structure usually uses corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant materials, such as stainless steel, high-strength plastics, or other materials suitable for the food processing environment, to integrate the partition board, the oil-water guiding part, and the food waste conveying part into a whole, ensuring the consistency and strength of the structure.

[0091] The integrally formed structure reduces seams and connection points, improves the sealing and durability of the structure, and simplifies the manufacturing and installation processes at the same time.

[0092] In some other embodiments, the partition board, the oil-water guiding part 112, and the food waste conveying part 111 are of a mechanical connection structure. The mechanical connection structure firmly connects the partition board, the oil-water guiding part, and the food waste conveying part together through bolts, welding, buckles, or other mechanical connection methods. The mechanical connection structure provides a certain degree of flexibility, can quickly repair the damaged parts of the oil-water separation tank without replacing the whole, is convenient for disassembly and maintenance, and can also ensure the stability of the structure.

[0093] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the oil-water guiding part 112 of this embodiment includes an oil-water conveying tank located at the bottom of the food waste conveying part 111. One end of the oil-water conveying tank has a recovery component 119. The bottom of the oil-water conveying tank has a certain slope. The oil and water in the oil-water conveying tank can flow towards the recovery component 119 through the bottom slope of the oil-water conveying tank and the self-weight of the oil and water, and the recovery component 119 collects and processes the oil and water.

[0094] Preferably, the oil-water guiding part includes an oil-water conveying tank located at the bottom of the food waste conveying part. This tank is designed to collect the oil-water mixture flowing in from the food waste conveying part through the filter holes. The bottom of the oil-water conveying tank is designed with a certain slope. This slope design enables the oil and water to flow from a high place to a low place by relying on their own gravity, that is, towards the direction of the recovery component.

[0095] Preferably, the recovery component is located at one end of the oil-water conveying tank. Its structural design is used to effectively collect and process the oil and water flowing towards it. The oil and water naturally flow towards the recovery component through the bottom slope in the oil-water conveying tank, and the recovery component is responsible for separating and collecting these oil and water.

[0096] The slope design at the bottom of the oil-water transfer tank enables the natural flow of oil and water, eliminating the need for additional power equipment, saving energy, and reducing maintenance costs. The design of the recycling component ensures the effective separation and collection of oil and water, improving the efficiency of oil-water separation.

[0097] Through the slope at the bottom of the oil-water transfer tank and the design of the recycling component, the efficiency of oil-water separation has been significantly improved, and oil and water can be separated and collected more quickly.

[0098] The compact design of the oil-water transfer tank and the recycling component saves equipment space, making the entire oil-water separation system more compact and easier to integrate into existing kitchen or food processing environments.

[0099] Preferably, the recycling component includes an oil-water separation valve, which can discharge the oil and water in the oil-water transfer tank, extract the oil and water into the oil-water collection tank in the food waste treatment equipment or discharge it to the external oil-water collection tank and other collection structures for collection, and the appropriate design can be selected according to actual needs.

[0100] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, an oil-water separation tank cleaning component capable of cleaning the inside thereof is further provided on the oil-water separation tank 11 of this embodiment. The oil-water separation tank cleaning component includes a plurality of water spray holes 1111 and a first water body providing component 1112. The plurality of water spray holes 1111 are spaced on the inner side wall of the oil-water separation tank 11, and the first water body providing component 1112 is communicated with the plurality of water spray holes 1111. The first water body providing component 1112 can provide water to the water spray holes 1111 for spraying to clean the inner side wall of the oil-water separation tank 11.

[0101] Specifically, a cleaning component dedicated to cleaning is provided on the oil-water separation tank to ensure that the inner wall and internal structure of the oil-water separation tank remain clean, avoiding the accumulation of oil stains and the generation of peculiar smells.

[0102] The cleaning component includes a plurality of water spray holes, which are spaced on the inner side wall of the oil-water separation tank 11. The first water body providing component is communicated with the plurality of water spray holes and is responsible for providing water to the water spray holes. This component can be a water pump or other water supply devices, which can ensure sufficient water pressure and water volume.

[0103] When it is necessary to clean the oil-water separation tank 11, the first water body providing component is started to provide water to the plurality of water spray holes. The water sprays out through the water spray holes to form a high-pressure water flow, which flushes the inner side wall of the oil-water separation tank 11 opposite to the water spray holes. The high-pressure water flow can effectively wash away the oil stains and impurities attached to the inner wall.

[0104] The sewage after flushing will flow into the oil-water transfer tank through the filter holes on the partition plate or be discharged through a specially designed sewage outlet to ensure that the inside of the oil-water separation tank 11 remains clean.

[0105] By setting up the cleaning component, the automatic cleaning of the oil-water separation tank 11 is realized, reducing the workload and difficulty of manual cleaning.

[0106] The design of multiple water spray holes and the first water body providing component ensures an efficient cleaning effect, capable of quickly removing oil stains and keeping the oil-water separation tank clean.

[0107] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the first water body providing component 1112 of this embodiment outputs hot water, which is convenient for cleaning the oil stains on the inner wall of the oil-water conveying tank and the kitchen waste adhering to the surface of the inner wall of the oil-water conveying tank.

[0108] Specifically, hot water can more effectively dissolve and remove oil stains. Especially for the grease and kitchen waste residues adhering to the inner wall of the oil-water conveying tank, hot water has a certain bactericidal and disinfection effect, which can reduce the growth of bacteria and microorganisms, keep the oil-water separation tank hygienic, and the temperature of hot water can accelerate the decomposition and softening of grease, making the cleaning process faster and more thorough.

[0109] Specifically, the first water body providing component not only provides water, but also outputs hot water. The first water body providing component includes a heating device, such as an electric heater and other heating systems, to ensure that the water reaches an appropriate temperature.

[0110] When it is necessary to clean the oil-water conveying tank, start the first water body providing component, output hot water to multiple water spray holes, and the hot water sprays out through the water spray holes to wash the inner wall of the oil-water conveying tank. The impact force and temperature of the hot water can effectively remove oil stains and kitchen waste residues.

[0111] The above only uses embodiments to further illustrate the technical content of the present invention to make it easier for readers to understand, but it does not mean that the implementation modes of the present invention are limited to this. Any technical extension or re-creation based on the present invention is protected by the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is subject to the claims.
