Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen waste treatment, in particular to a kitchen waste grease receiving device. Background Art

[0002] Waste grease primarily refers to waste cooking grease, swill oil, old frying oil, and range hood condensate. It can be used for a variety of purposes, including biodiesel production, industrial oleic acid, soap production, and export. Typically, waste cooking grease from multiple locations is stored in multiple barrels and transported to recycling plants, where it is then dumped into collection bins for recycling. Due to its high freezing point, waste grease easily solidifies. Even in the heat of summer, waste grease samples will solidify after being left indoors for a period of time. In the cold of winter, they can become almost frozen, making them difficult to separate from their containers.

[0003] The traditional way to separate waste grease from the container is to manually pour it out and then manually scrape off the solidified grease remaining on the inner wall of the container. This is labor-intensive for workers and has low efficiency in grease separation and collection. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the disadvantage of low grease separation and collection efficiency in the existing method of separating waste grease from containers, the utility model provides a kitchen waste grease receiving device with high grease separation and collection efficiency.

[0005] A device for receiving kitchen waste grease, comprising a collection box and a slope, wherein the inlet of the collection box is opened on one side, and the bottom end of the slope is connected to the inlet of the collection box, and is characterized in that: the collection box comprises a box body and a box bottom, the box bottom is funnel-shaped, and the bottom end of the box bottom is connected to a grease storage tank; a support plate is provided at the bottom of the box body, the inlet of the collection box is higher than the support plate, the support plate is provided with a plurality of regular openings, a filter is provided in the box bottom, and a steam pipe is connected to the bottom of the box body, the steam pipe is located between the support plate and the filter, and the part of the steam pipe inside the box body is provided with steam holes.

[0006] It is further characterized by:

[0007] The slope includes a first slope and a second slope connected to each other, the second slope is lower than the first slope, the angle between the first slope and the ground is smaller than the angle between the second slope and the ground, and the top surface of the second slope is provided with anti-slip bumps;

[0008] Baffles are installed on both sides of the slope;

[0009] The steam pipe is provided with a steam valve;

[0010] A temperature sensor is provided in the box, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the steam valve;

[0011] A support frame is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the slope;

[0012] The collection box is wrapped with heat-insulating material;

[0013] The support plate is made of stainless steel.

[0014] With the above-mentioned structure of the present invention, after the grease barrel reaches the collection box via the ramp, it automatically flips due to inertia, tipping onto the support plate. The grease then flows forward due to inertia, flowing through the openings in the support plate into the bottom of the box. The funnel-shaped bottom allows the grease to flow under gravity into the grease storage tank, achieving separation and collection of the grease from the container. A steam pipe delivers hot steam to the collection tank, heating the grease and preventing it from solidifying, thereby improving its fluidity and enhancing grease separation and collection efficiency. The inlet of the collection tank is higher than the support plate, preventing the grease from melting too quickly and potentially spilling outside the box, thereby minimizing losses and improving grease collection efficiency. Multiple openings in the support plate ensure uniform steam rise and grease discharge, ensuring uniform heating and achieving high grease separation and collection efficiency. The support plate and filter screen perform primary and secondary filtration of the waste grease, respectively, preventing unwanted solid residue from entering the grease storage tank. This allows the tank to store more grease while maintaining its original volume, effectively improving grease collection efficiency. Steam holes are opened in the part of the steam straight-through pipe inside the box, which makes the steam heating more uniform. The setting of the thermal insulation material further achieves higher oil separation and collection efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] Figure 1 It is a structural diagram of the utility model;

[0016] Figure 2 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the AA section view. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2A device for receiving kitchen waste grease includes a collection box 1 and a slope 2. The slope 2 includes a first slope 21 and a second slope 22 connected to each other. The second slope 22 is lower than the first slope 21. The angle between the first slope 21 and the ground is smaller than the angle between the second slope 22 and the ground. The top surface of the second slope 22 is provided with anti-slip bumps 23. The second slope 22 and the anti-slip bumps 23 are used to prevent the grease barrel from sliding down too fast and generating excessive impact force to damage the collection box 1 and the grease barrel. Baffles 24 are installed on both sides of the slope 2 to prevent the grease barrel from sliding off the slope 2. A support frame 25 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the slope 2. The angle of the support frame 25 can be rotated to adjust the angle of the slope 2. The support frame 25 can also be folded up to save space when the device is not in use.

[0018] The inlet of the collecting box 1 is opened on one side, and the bottom end of the slope 2 is connected to the inlet of the collecting box 1. The collecting box 1 includes a box body 11 and a box bottom 12. The box bottom 12 is funnel-shaped, and the bottom end of the box bottom 12 is connected to the grease storage tank 6; a support plate 3 is provided at the bottom of the box body 11.

[0019] The support plate 3 is provided with multiple regularly spaced openings 31. A filter screen 4 is installed within the bottom 12 of the box. A steam pipe 5 is connected to the bottom of the box body 11. This steam pipe 5 is located between the support plate 3 and the filter screen 4. The portion of the steam pipe 5 within the box body 11 is provided with multiple steam holes. A steam valve 51 is installed in the steam pipe 5. A temperature sensor 7 is installed within the box body 11 and is electrically connected to the steam valve 51. The collection box 1 is wrapped in insulation to prevent excessive heat dissipation from the collection box 1 in low temperatures, which could cause grease to solidify. The support plate 3 is made of stainless steel to facilitate heat conduction and support weight.

[0020] Steam pipe 5 introduces high-temperature steam to heat the grease, preventing it from solidifying. The openings 31 in support plate 3 and the steam holes in steam pipe 5 ensure uniform steam rise, heating the grease evenly. When the set temperature is reached, temperature sensor 7 automatically closes steam valve 51, stopping heating and conserving energy. When the temperature falls below the set temperature, sensor 7 automatically opens steam valve 51 to resume heating, saving labor.

[0021] The inlet of the collection box 1 is higher than the support plate 3, which can prevent the grease from melting too quickly and causing the grease to overflow to the outside of the collection box, thereby improving the grease collection efficiency from the perspective of reducing losses.

[0022] The opening 31 of the support plate 3 can also filter the waste grease once to filter out larger impurities, and then the grease is filtered twice through the filter 4 to filter out smaller impurities. The filtered grease then enters the grease storage tank 6, thereby improving the quality of the collected grease.

[0023] After the grease barrel reaches the collection box 1 via the slope, it will automatically flip over due to inertia, and the grease barrel will fall on the support plate 3. Then the grease flows forward under the action of inertia, and the steam pipe 5 transports heating steam into the box to ensure the fluidity of the grease. The grease is filtered once through the opening 31 of the support plate 3 and then evenly divided into two streams and flows into the bottom 12 of the box. It is filtered twice at the bottom of the box through the filter 4. The funnel-shaped bottom 12 of the box allows the grease to flow into the grease storage tank 6 under the action of gravity, thereby realizing the separation of the grease from the container and the collection of the grease.
