Detailed Implementation
[0027] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant utility model and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0028] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an air intake and water outlet adjustment structure for a seawater protein separator. The air intake and water outlet adjustment structure is installed on the outside of the protein separator body 1 and includes an air intake adjustment structure and a water outlet adjustment structure, which are used to adjust the air intake and water outlet of the protein separator.
[0030] The protein separator body 1 has a sleeve 2 around its gas-liquid outlet for accommodating and installing air inlet and water outlet regulating structures. For example... Figure 2As shown, the water outlet adjusting structure comprises an adjusting rod 3, which is a cavity structure with an open top end. A left-right through water outlet adjusting opening 4 is formed in the bottom of the adjusting rod 3 and corresponds to the gas-liquid discharge port of the protein separator main body 1. The direction of the water outlet adjusting opening 4 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting rod 3, so as to adjust the flow of the gas-liquid discharge port. If no limiting device is arranged, the user may excessively rotate in one direction during use, which may cause the gas pipe 7 to be wound. Therefore, a 90° rotating groove 5 is formed in the sleeve opening 2, and a limiting protrusion 6 is arranged on the adjusting rod 3. The limiting protrusion 6 slides in the rotating groove 5, so that the adjusting rod 3 can rotate within a range of 90°, avoiding the phenomenon that the water outlet is adjusted by rotating in one direction only, and thus avoiding the winding of the gas pipe 7. In the embodiment, the rotating groove 5 is formed in the top end surface of the sleeve opening 2 for convenient installation.
[0031] A gas pipe 7 is arranged in the cavity of the adjusting rod 3. The lower end of the gas pipe 7 penetrates into and out of the cavity and communicates with the gas inlet 18 of the protein separator main body 1, so as to deliver gas into the protein separator main body 1 through the gas pipe 7. An air inlet adjusting structure is arranged on the top of the adjusting rod 3 and communicates with the top end of the gas pipe 7, so as to adjust the flow of the gas entering the gas pipe 7.
[0032] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figures 3-4 The air inlet adjusting structure comprises a silencer box 8 and a gas volume adjusting valve 9. The silencer box 8 is connected above the adjusting rod 3 and communicates with the gas pipe 7. The gas volume adjusting valve 9 is connected to the top end of the silencer box 8. In the embodiment, the gas volume adjusting valve 9 is a corner structure. The internal cavity of the gas volume adjusting valve 9 comprises a vertical gas outlet cavity 10, a horizontal gas volume adjusting cavity 11 and a gas inlet cavity 19. The gas volume adjusting cavity 11 communicates with the gas inlet cavity 19. The gas sequentially passes through the gas inlet cavity 19, the gas volume adjusting cavity 11 and the gas outlet cavity 10, and then enters the silencer box 8. A valve rod 12 extends horizontally from the opposite side of the gas inlet cavity 19 into the gas volume adjusting cavity 11 and is threadedly connected with the gas volume adjusting valve 9. The length of the valve rod 12 extending into the gas volume adjusting cavity 11 is adjusted to adjust the flow of the gas outlet cavity 10. A soft rubber 13 is sleeved on the valve rod 12. The soft rubber 13 can seal the gas outlet cavity 10, and the air inlet volume can be adjusted by the soft rubber 13. The horizontal adjusting structure can save the height space of the structure and is suitable for use in a relatively low fish tank bottom tank environment.
[0033] As shown in the figure, Figure 5As shown, the mounting mode of the air volume adjusting valve 9 and the sound box 8 is that the top end of the sound box 8 is provided with a protrusion 16, the bottom end of the air volume adjusting valve 9 is provided with a clamping groove 17, the clamping groove 17 is clamped on the periphery of the protrusion 16, and the connection of the air volume adjusting valve 9 and the sound box 8 is realized. In order to increase the sealing between the air volume adjusting valve 9 and the sound box 8, the outer wall of the connecting part of the air volume adjusting valve 9 and the sound box 8 is provided with a groove 14, and a sealing ring 15 is placed in the groove 14.
[0034] The air inlet and water outlet adjusting structure of the seawater protein separator in the embodiment is improved, the air pipe 7 is avoided from being wound, the height space can be saved, and the seawater protein separator is suitable for a relatively low fish tank bottom tank environment.
