[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0033] The following is combined Figures 1-5 This invention describes a water vapor separation device.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a water vapor separation device 1, including: a first housing 11 and a second housing 12. A first cavity 111 is formed within the first housing 11. A water inlet 112 communicating with the outside is provided at the top of the first housing 11, and a drain outlet 113 communicating with the outside is provided at the bottom of the first housing 11. The second housing 12 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first housing 11, and a second cavity is formed between the second housing 12 and the first housing 11. The first housing 11 is provided with a first air inlet 114 communicating with the first cavity 111 and the second cavity. The second housing 12 is provided with a first exhaust outlet communicating with the second cavity and the outside.
[0035] In this embodiment, the first housing 11 is located inside the second housing 12. A first cavity 111 is formed inside the first housing 11. A water inlet 112 is provided at the top of the first cavity 111 to connect with an external water inlet pipe, allowing hot water to enter the first cavity 111 from the top and exit from the drain outlet 113 at the bottom of the first cavity 111. Simultaneously, by forming a second cavity between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, and providing a first air inlet 114 on the first housing 11 to connect the first cavity 111 and the second cavity, steam in the hot water can be released from the hot water as it passes through the first cavity 111. This steam then enters the second cavity through the first air inlet 114 and exits from the first exhaust outlet on the second cavity, thereby separating the steam inside the hot water discharged from the first cavity 111 and preventing the hot water from splashing outwards due to the influence of internal steam after discharge.
[0036] The water vapor separation device 1 of this utility model forms a first cavity 111 within a first housing 11. The first cavity 111 is used to connect with external water supply and drainage pipes, so that hot water enters from the inlet 112, passes through the first cavity 111, and is discharged from the drain outlet 113. Simultaneously, a second housing 12 is fitted over the first housing 11 to form a second cavity. A first air inlet 114 is provided on the first housing 11 to connect the first cavity 111 and the second cavity. This allows steam generated on the surface of the hot water to enter the second cavity when it passes through the first cavity 111 and be discharged from the first exhaust port on the second housing 12. This achieves the separation of hot water and steam, preventing the hot water from being affected by internal steam and splashing outwards after discharge. This effectively solves the defect in the prior art where hot water mixed with steam is easily affected by the steam in the hot water after being discharged from the water pipe, splashing onto the outside of the container and potentially scalding nearby people.
[0037] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first air inlet 114 is located on the top of the side wall of the first housing 11.
[0038] In this embodiment, by setting the first air inlet 114 at the top of the side wall of the first housing 11, the first air inlet 114 has a certain height, so as to avoid hot water in the first cavity 111 from entering the second cavity through the first air inlet 114 as much as possible.
[0039] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first vent is arranged around the outside of the drain outlet 113 and is connected to the drain outlet 113.
[0040] In this embodiment, the second housing 12 is fitted over the first housing 11. The first vent is formed outside the drain outlet 113 at the bottom of the first housing 11 and surrounds the drain outlet 113 in a ring shape. This allows the drainage and venting structures of the entire device to be located in the same position, resulting in a more compact and simple structure. During drainage and steam discharge, the discharged steam is located outside the discharged hot water column, preventing hot water from splashing in all directions. Furthermore, by connecting the first vent and the drain outlet 113, when the hot water flow rate is too high, some hot water may enter the second cavity through the first air inlet 114. This portion of hot water can then flow back into the drain outlet 113 from the first vent, thus avoiding waste.
[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the water vapor separator 1 further includes at least one third housing 13, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first housing 11 and located within the second cavity, thereby dividing the second cavity into two concentrically sleeved third cavities 131 from the inside out, and dividing the first exhaust port into two second exhaust ports 132 that correspond one-to-one with the third cavities 131. The outer wall of the third housing 13 is provided with a second air inlet 133 that connects the two third cavities 131.
[0042] In this embodiment, by providing a third housing 13 between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, the third housing 13 can divide the second cavity into two cavities. Specifically, a third cavity 131 is formed between the third housing 13 and the first housing 11, and another third cavity 131 is formed between the third housing 13 and the second housing 12. The bottom end of the third housing 13 divides the first exhaust port into two second exhaust ports 132. The two third cavities 131 are connected through a second air inlet 133 on the third housing 13. The two third cavities 131 and the first cavity 111 are arranged in layers so that the separation of hot water and steam can still be achieved when the hot water flow rate changes.
[0043] Specifically, when the hot water flow rate is small, the hot water enters the first cavity 111 from the inlet 112 and exits from the drain 113. The steam in the hot water enters a third cavity 131 near the first cavity 111 through the first air inlet 114 and exits from the second exhaust port 132 at the bottom of the third cavity 131. When the steam volume is large, some steam can also enter another third cavity 131 through the second air inlet 133 on the third housing 13. The steam exits from the second exhaust port 132 at the bottom of the two third cavities 131 respectively.
[0044] When the hot water flow rate is large, hot water enters the first chamber 111 from the inlet 112, some hot water is discharged from the drain 113, and another part of hot water enters a third chamber 131 near the first chamber 111 from the first air inlet 114, and is discharged from the second exhaust port 132 at the bottom of the third chamber 131 and re-enters the hot water discharged from the drain 113. The steam in the hot water enters another third chamber 131 through the second air inlet 133 and is discharged from the second exhaust port 132 at the bottom of the third chamber 131.
[0045] When a large amount of warm water without steam needs to be discharged, the warm water can enter the first chamber 111 from the inlet 112 and enter the two third chambers 131 through the first air inlet 114 and the second air inlet 133. The water in the two third chambers 131 is discharged from the corresponding second exhaust port 132 and then flows back into the hot water discharged from the drain port 113, keeping the water output pattern stable.
[0046] Optionally, in some embodiments, there are multiple third housings 13, which are arranged at intervals from the inside to the outside to divide the second cavity into multiple third cavities 131 that are concentrically nested from the inside to the outside.
[0047] In this embodiment, by providing multiple third housings 13 between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, the second cavity can be divided into multiple cavities. This allows the multiple third cavities 131 and the first cavity 111 to be arranged in layers and interconnected, so that the separation of hot water and steam can still be achieved even when the hot water flow rate changes arbitrarily. It is understood that the number and size of the third cavities 131 can be designed according to the drainage requirements of the hot water and the steam content.
[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, there are multiple second air inlets 133, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the third housing 13.
[0049] In this embodiment, by arranging a plurality of second air inlets 133 at intervals along the circumference of the third housing 13, steam can flow between two adjacent third cavities 131 through the plurality of second air inlets 133, thereby allowing steam to be evenly distributed in the two third cavities 131, which is beneficial for better separation of steam and hot water.
[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first cavity 111 includes a first part 1111, a second part 1112, and a third part 1113 connected sequentially from top to bottom. The water inlet 112 and the first air inlet 114 are both connected to the first part 1111. The second part 1112 is a gradually narrowing cavity from top to bottom. The third part 1113 is a cylindrical cavity. A drain outlet 113 is provided at the bottom of the third part 1113.
[0051] In this embodiment, the first cavity 111 is divided into three parts. The first part 1111 is located at the top and is used to communicate with the water inlet 112 and the first air inlet 114 so as to introduce hot water and allow the steam in the hot water to be released and enter the second cavity from the first air inlet 114 to achieve the separation of steam and hot water. The second part 1112 is connected to the bottom of the first part 1111 and is tapered from top to bottom so that after the hot water is introduced, the hot water forms a thinner water column so that it can enter the third part 1113 and be discharged from the drain outlet 113 at the bottom.
[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the water vapor separation device 1 also includes a baffle plate 14, which is installed in the first cavity 111 to block part of the water flow and slow down the water flow speed.
[0053] In this embodiment, by providing a baffle plate 14 inside the first cavity 111, the baffle plate 14 can block the water flow inside the first cavity 111, thereby slowing down the water flow rate inside the first cavity 111, allowing the hot water to stay in the first cavity 111 for a longer time, and allowing as much steam as possible to be released from the hot water; at the same time, by slowing down the water flow rate inside the first cavity 111, the flow rate of the hot water discharged from the drain outlet 113 of the first cavity 111 can also be slowed down, making it convenient for users to collect the hot water in a container.
[0054] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the baffle plate 14 includes a stop portion 141 and a suspension portion 142 connected to each other. The stop portion 141 is disposed in the first cavity 111, and the suspension portion 142 extends from the stop portion 141 toward the first air inlet 114, so that a portion of the suspension portion 142 is hooked onto the wall of the first air inlet 114.
[0055] In this embodiment, the stop portion 141 of the baffle plate 14 is disposed inside the first cavity 111 to block the water flow inside the first cavity 111 and slow down the water flow speed inside the first cavity 111. The suspension portion 142 is connected to the stop portion 141. The suspension portion 142 extends toward the first air inlet 114 on the cavity wall of the first cavity 111, so that part of the structure of the suspension portion 142 is hooked onto the hole wall of the first air inlet 114 to fix the baffle plate 14 inside the first cavity 111. No additional connecting structure is required, the structure is simple, and it is easy to assemble and disassemble.
[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, there are multiple first air inlets 114 and multiple suspension parts 142. The multiple first air inlets 114 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first housing 11, and the multiple suspension parts 142 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple first air inlets 114. Part of each suspension part 142 is attached to the wall of the corresponding first air inlet 114.
[0057] In this embodiment, by providing multiple first air inlets 114 spaced circumferentially along the first housing 11, steam from the hot water passing through the first cavity 111 can be released from all directions and enter the second cavity through the multiple first air inlets 114, thereby ensuring that the steam is evenly distributed in the second cavity and facilitating better separation of steam and hot water. Simultaneously, by providing multiple suspension parts 142 corresponding one-to-one with the first air inlets 114, each suspension part 142 is engaged with the corresponding first air inlet 114, making the baffle plate 14 more stable and reliable.
[0058] Specifically, the stop part 141 can adopt a frame-shaped structure, including an outer frame connected to the suspension part 142 and a stop structure inside the outer frame. A gap is provided between the outer frame and the stop structure to allow water flow to pass through, and the stop structure can block part of the water flow.
[0059] In one specific embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the water vapor separator 1 includes an end cap, with a water inlet pipe positioned along the central axis of the end cap. A first housing 11, a third housing 13, and a second housing 12 are all installed below the end cap. The first housing 11 and the end cap are joined to form a first cavity 111. The water inlet 112 at the top of the first cavity 111 is connected to the water inlet pipe to allow hot water to enter. The third housing 13 is fitted onto the first housing 11, and the second housing 12 is fitted onto the third housing 13. A third cavity 131 is formed between the third housing 13 and the first housing 11, and between the third housing 13 and the second housing 12.
[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
