Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen waste oil and water treatment, in particular to a kitchen oil and water separation treatment device. Background Art
[0002] The kitchen sink is a must-have kitchen utensil in almost every household. It is used to wash food or kitchen utensils when cooking. The sink is connected to the municipal sewer pipe through a pipe to discharge kitchen wastewater.
[0003] The discharge of oil and water in kitchen wastewater is usually unavoidable. Over a long period of use, a large amount of grease will accumulate in the pipes during the discharge of oil and water. If these greases are not cleaned in time, the pipes will be clogged over time. In the existing technology, the more common method is to directly replace the main water pipe connecting the sink to the sewer pipe. Although this method is effective immediately, the installation and removal of the pipes requires special personnel to install them on site, and the replacement of the old pipes is relatively expensive and time-consuming and labor-intensive when the old pipes are not damaged. Therefore, cleaning the grease accumulated in the main pipes and realizing the separation of oil and water in the sink water are technical problems that need to be solved urgently. In view of this, we propose a kitchen oil-water separation treatment device. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a kitchen oil-water separation treatment device to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0012] Preferably, the controller is also signal-connected to a WiFi module for information interaction with a mobile terminal.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: when the kitchen oil-water separation treatment device needs to be drained, the condensing plate operates, the electric control valve A is opened, and the electric control valve B is closed. At this time, the bottom of the main water pipe is only connected to the wastewater branch pipe, and the kitchen waste water in the sink can be discharged into the sewer pipe through the sewer pipe. The grease condenses on the inner wall of the main water pipe 3 due to condensation and is not discharged with the wastewater.
[0014] When grease cleaning is required, the electric control valve A is closed, the electric control valve B is opened, and the electric heating plate is operated.

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] In the description of this patent, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connected," and "set" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection or set, detachable connection or set, or integral connection or set. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this patent based on the specific circumstances.
[0031] See also Figures 1-4 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution:
[0032] A kitchen oil-water separation and treatment device comprises: a water sink 1, a main water pipe 3, a wastewater flow channel unit 7, an oil flow channel unit 8, and a waste oil collection and storage tank 9; the drain outlet of the water sink 1 is connected to the wastewater flow channel unit 7 and the oil flow channel unit 8 via the main water pipe 3; the water outlet of the oil flow channel unit 8 is connected to the waste oil collection and storage tank 9; the main water pipe 3 is also equipped with at least one set of temperature control modules 4, temperature sensing units 5, and liquid level sensing units 6. Specifically, the temperature control module 4 is an electric heater and a condenser installed on the outer wall of the main water pipe 3; the temperature sensing unit 5 is a temperature sensor 51 installed on the outer wall of the main water pipe 3; the liquid level sensing unit 6 is a liquid level sensor 61 installed at the end of the main water pipe 3; the electric heater, condenser, temperature sensor 51, and liquid level sensor 61 are all connected via controller signals. In this embodiment, the liquid level in the main water pipe 3 is monitored in real time by the provided liquid level sensor 61. If a blockage occurs, the liquid level in the main water pipe 3 will become high. At this time, the controller can control the operation of the electric heater to heat the main water pipe 3. The heated pipe melts the grease attached to the inner wall of the pipe, thereby achieving the purpose of unblocking the pipe. When the liquid level in the main water pipe 3 becomes low, the controller can continue to control the electric heater to stop operating, or set a threshold value for the pipe temperature, and use the temperature sensor 51 to monitor the temperature of the main water pipe 3. When the temperature reaches the threshold value, the controller controls the electric heater to stop operating. Stop the operation, and the melted grease will flow into the waste oil collection tank 9 through the oil flow channel unit 8 to be collected, and the sewage will be discharged through the wastewater flow channel unit 7, so as to achieve oil-water separation and prevent the sewer pipe of the water tank 1 from being blocked. In addition, since the temperature in the sewer pipe is generally higher than the ambient temperature, the condensing plate is turned on during daily use to keep the main water pipe 3 at a lower temperature, so that the grease flowing through the main water pipe 3 can be condensed faster on the inner wall of the main water pipe 3, and the wastewater is discharged separately. After the grease is condensed into blocks, it is heated by the electric heating plate to be discharged separately.
[0033] It is worth noting that connecting individual electronic components through controller signals to achieve on / off control of each electronic component belongs to the prior art. For example, the controller in this embodiment monitors the liquid level changes in the main water pipe 3 through the liquid level sensor 61, and then controls the on / off operation of the heating plate and the condensing plate, and monitors the temperature changes in the main water pipe 3 through the temperature sensor 51, and then controls the on / off operation of the heating plate and the condensing plate. These all belong to the prior art. Those skilled in the art can fully understand this based on the prior art and will not be elaborated on here.
[0034] Furthermore, the drain port of the sink 1 is connected to the main water pipe 3 through the provided sink pipe 2. The main water pipe 3 is conveniently installed through the sink pipe 2. The sink pipe 2 can adopt a screw type, a snap-on type or other connecting pipe fittings, which is convenient for users to quickly install and remove.
[0035] Furthermore, the wastewater flow channel unit 7 includes a wastewater branch pipe 71, one end of which is connected to the main water pipe 3, and the other end is connected to a sewer pipe 74 through an electrically controlled valve A73, and the electrically controlled valve A73 is connected to the controller signal; the oil flow channel unit 8 includes an oil branch pipe 81, one end of which is connected to the main water pipe 3, and the other end is connected to an oil collecting pipe 83 through an electrically controlled valve B82, and the oil collecting pipe 83 is connected to the waste oil collection tank 9, and the electrically controlled valve B82 is connected to the controller signal. When drainage is required, the condensing plate operates, the controller controls the electric control valve A73 to open, and the electric control valve B82 to close. At this time, the bottom of the main water pipe 3 is only connected to the wastewater branch pipe 71, and the kitchen waste water in the sink 1 can be discharged into the sewer pipe through the sewer pipe 74. The grease condenses on the inner wall of the main water pipe 3 under the action of condensation and is not discharged with the wastewater. Similarly, when grease cleaning is required, the controller controls the electric control valve A73 to close, the electric control valve B82 to open, and the electric heating plate operates. At this time, the grease condensed on the inner wall of the main water pipe 3 is heated and melted, and the grease flows into the waste oil collection tank 9 through the oil branch pipe 81 and the oil collection pipe 83 to be collected, thereby achieving the effect of oil separation, effectively realizing regular dredging of the accumulated grease in the main pipe 3, and preventing the sewer pipe of the sink 1 from being blocked.
[0036] Specifically, the wastewater branch pipe 71 is filled with a filter core 72. The filter core 72 can filter the kitchen waste water during the drainage process to prevent the residue from falling into the sewer pipe and causing more serious pipe blockage problems.
[0037] In this embodiment, a temperature sensor fixing bracket 52 is installed on the main water pipe 3, so as to achieve the purpose of attaching the temperature sensor 51 to the outer wall of the main water pipe 3 for temperature detection, making the detection more accurate. In addition, the signal detection end of the liquid level sensor 61 is inserted into the main water pipe 3 through the provided plug 62, so as to achieve the purpose of detecting the liquid level change in the pipeline.
[0038] In one embodiment, the controller is also signal-connected to a WiFi module for information exchange with a mobile terminal. By developing software on a mobile terminal (such as a mobile phone, tablet, or PC), the status of components controlled by the controller can be observed on the mobile terminal, thereby enabling remote control and monitoring of each component. In this embodiment, the control and monitoring through mobile terminal software is not the main innovation; this technology can be implemented using existing technologies and will not be elaborated here.
[0039] When the kitchen oil-water separation device of this embodiment is in use, the liquid level in the main water pipe 3 is monitored in real time by the provided liquid level sensor 61. If a blockage occurs, the liquid level in the main water pipe 3 will become high. At this time, the controller can control the electric heater to operate and heat the main water pipe 3. The heated pipe melts the grease attached to the inner wall of the pipe, thereby achieving the purpose of unblocking the pipe. When the liquid level in the main water pipe 3 becomes low, the controller can continue to control the electric heater to stop operating, or set a threshold value for the pipe temperature, and use the temperature sensor 51 to monitor the temperature of the main water pipe 3. Degrees, when the temperature reaches the threshold, the controller controls the electric heater to stop working, and the melted grease flows into the waste oil collection tank 9 through the oil flow channel unit 8 to be collected, and the sewage is discharged through the wastewater flow channel unit 7. In addition, since the temperature in the sewer pipe is generally higher than the ambient temperature, the condensing plate is turned on during daily use to keep the main water pipe 3 at a lower temperature, so that the grease flowing through the main water pipe 3 can be condensed on the inner wall of the main water pipe 3 more quickly, and the wastewater is discharged separately. After the grease condenses into blocks, it is heated by the electric heater to be discharged separately. Specifically, when drainage is required, the condensing plate operates, the controller controls the electric control valve A73 to open, and the electric control valve B82 to close. At this time, the bottom of the main water pipe 3 is only connected to the wastewater branch pipe 71, and the kitchen waste water in the sink 1 can be discharged into the sewer pipe through the sewer pipe 74. The grease condenses on the inner wall of the main water pipe 3 under the action of condensation and is not discharged with the wastewater. Similarly, when grease cleaning is required, the controller controls the electric control valve A73 to close, the electric control valve B82 to open, and the electric heating plate operates. At this time, the grease condensed on the inner wall of the main water pipe 3 is heated and melted, and the grease flows into the waste oil collection storage tank 9 through the oil branch pipe 81 and the oil collection pipe 83 to be collected, thereby achieving the effect of oil separation, effectively solving the problem of regular treatment of the grease accumulated in the main pipe 3, and preventing the sewer pipe of the sink 1 from being blocked.
