[0030] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] The utility model provides Figures 1 to 7 The shown novel under-kitchen grease separator with a mechanical slag-water separation device comprises a box body 1. All parts of the box body 1 are made of SUS304 stainless steel to achieve the effect of corrosion resistance. The inner cavity of the box body 1 is divided into three areas: a first area, a second area and a third area, and these three areas are isolated from each other and do not affect each other to ensure the functionality of each area. A slag-water separator 2 is installed in the first area, the second area is an oil-water separation area 3, and a slag bucket 5 is placed in the third area. The drainage end of the slag-water separator 2 is connected to the oil-water separation area 3. An oil drain valve 4 connected to the oil-water separation area 3 is fixed on the front side wall of the box body 1, and the residue output end of the slag-water separator 2 faces the slag bucket 5. A water outlet pipe 6 connected to the oil-water separation area 3 is fixed on the right side wall of the box body 1. A sewage valve 7 connected to the oil-water separation area 3 is fixed at the bottom of the right side wall of the box body 1. An inlet pipe 8 matching the slag-water separator 2 is fixed to the top of the left side wall of the box body 1 through a clamp 18.

[0032] In actual use, catering wastewater enters the slag-water separator 2 through the water inlet pipe 8. Under the filtering and separation effect of the slag-water separator 2, the water flows downward into the oil-water separation area 3. In the oil-water separation area 3, the water on the liquid surface moves downward. Under the action of gravity, the grease in the oil-water mixture floats upward and floats on the liquid surface. The water at the bottom flows out through the outlet pipe 6. The elbow design at the outlet pipe 6 has the pipe opening in the box downward to ensure that the grease on the liquid surface will not flow out. When the grease on the liquid surface reaches a certain thickness, the oil drain valve 4 can be opened to drain the grease. Oil, and the residue after being processed by the slag-water separator 2 will be directly rotated and sent to the slag barrel 5, and the residue in the slag barrel 5 can be taken out regularly. The slag-water separator 2 is very small and practical, suitable for installation and use in most narrow spaces under the kitchen, and has strong adaptability. Compared with the unpowered kitchen grease separator, this grease separator is convenient for removing slag and draining oil, which reduces the time of manual cleaning. When the kitchen space is small and the upper cover cannot be opened, the advantages of this grease separator are particularly obvious, and the internal parts can be disassembled, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance.

[0033] The oil content in the drainage of the oil-water separation area 3 is lower than that of similar equipment, which is environmentally friendly. The curved pipe design of the outlet pipe 6 ensures that grease will not flow into the underground pipe network with water. The oil content in the drainage is low and environmentally friendly. The water inlet pipe 8 is installed with a clamp 18 and a flexible joint structure, which is suitable for various connection methods and is suitable for the narrow space under the kitchen. The motor 9 is installed externally, which reduces the failure of the motor due to moisture, and is convenient for maintenance and repair. It is simple to manufacture, has a low failure point, and low maintenance and repair costs.

[0034] See also Figures 5-7 The slag-water separator 2 includes a motor 9 fixed on the left side wall of the box body 1, and a protective frame 11 fixed on the first area of ​​the box body 1. The output end of the motor 9 is fixedly equipped with a drive shaft 10, and the drive shaft 10 is horizontally assembled inside the protective frame 11. A scraper 13 is fixedly assembled on the outer wall of the drive shaft 10 by a fixing screw 12. The bottom of the scraper 13 is linearly arranged with scraping teeth 14. A filter screen 15 is fixed to the bottom of the inner cavity of the protective frame 11. A slag guide port is opened on the front side of the protective frame 11, and a slag guide plate 17 extending forward is integrally formed at the slag guide port. The left and right side walls of the inner cavity of the protective frame 11 are rotatably assembled with a paddle 16 through a pin shaft.

[0035] During actual use, the motor 9 drives the drive shaft 10 to rotate synchronously, and then drives the scraper 13 to rotate in the protective frame 11. During the rotation of the scraper 13, the scraper 13 can separate the residue from the water. At the same time, the scraping teeth 14 on the scraper 13 have a cleaning effect on the filter screen 15. The function of the paddle 16 is to ensure that the residue can fall into the residue bucket 5 along the residue guide plate 17 after leaving the scraper 13, and the filter screen 15 can ensure that the residue will not fall into the oil-water separation area 3.

[0036] The paddle 16 matches the scraper 13, and the paddle 16 corresponds to the slag guide port. The filter screen 15 is provided with strip filter holes, and the strip filter holes correspond to the scraping teeth 14. The scraper 13 can separate the residue from the water. At the same time, the scraping teeth 14 on the scraper 13 have a cleaning effect on the strip filter holes in the filter screen 15 to prevent the residue from clogging the strip filter holes.

[0037] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 The outer wall of the drive shaft 10 is provided with linearly arranged threaded holes, and the scraper 13 is an L-shaped plate, and the short side is hung on the outer wall of the drive shaft 10, and a long hole 21 is provided on the short side. The fixing screw 12 passes through the long hole 21 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. In this way, when the scraper 13 is installed on the drive shaft 10, the long hole 21 can be used to move the installation position of the scraper 13, which is convenient for left and right debugging of the scraper 13, thereby eliminating the influence of processing errors.

[0038] An oil drain window 19 corresponding to the oil drain valve 4 is provided on the right side of the front side wall of the box body 1, and a slag removal window 20 corresponding to the slag bucket 5 is provided on the left side of the front side wall of the box body 1. A handle is provided on the slag bucket 5 to facilitate the oil drain operation through the oil drain window 19, and the slag bucket 5 can be conveniently taken out in the slag removal window 20 for centralized cleaning.

[0039] A transparent cover is provided on the top of the box body 1, and a sealing ring 22 is installed at the assembly point of the transparent cover and the box body 1, which facilitates intuitive observation of the operation of the structure inside the box body 1. The sealing ring 22 provided under the top cover ensures that odor will not slowly dissipate.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
