[0023] Example:
[0024] Reference Figures 1-4 An automatic oil separator includes a working chamber 1, and a storage bin 3 is provided in the cavity of the working chamber 1 for placing hot pot ingredients. A door 2 is also provided on the working chamber 1 by means of a hinge to seal the cavity of the working chamber 1. In addition, a rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected in the storage bin 3. A stirring mechanism is provided on the rotating shaft 4, and the working end of the stirring mechanism is in contact with the inner wall of the storage bin 3. The stirring mechanism can fully stir the hot pot ingredients in the storage bin 3, and then let it stand for a period of time to wait for the oil to separate.
[0025] Furthermore, the above-mentioned stirring mechanism includes a spiral plate 6 and a stirring plate 7. A connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 4. The spiral plate 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 5 and is in contact with the inner wall of the storage bin 3. The stirring plate 7 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 4 and is staggered with the spiral plate 6.
[0026] The storage bin 3 is made of stainless steel and is cylindrical. The effective volume of the storage bin 3 is 3000 liters. The inner wall is polished to reduce material adhesion. The working box 1 is equipped with a door 2 with a silicone sealing strip by a hinge to seal the cavity of the working box 1 and prevent foreign objects from entering.
[0027] A stainless steel rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected inside the storage silo 3. The rotating shaft 4 is driven by a servo motor 8. A stirring mechanism is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 4. This mechanism consists of a spiral plate 6 and a stirring plate 7. Filter holes are opened on the stirring plate 7 to improve the stirring effect. The spiral plate 6 is made of stainless steel plate and is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 4 by a connecting rod 5 and fits against the inner wall of the storage silo 3. It is used to rotate the hot pot materials. In addition, the paddle-type stirring plate 7 is directly fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 4 and is staggered with the spiral plate 6 to form a three-dimensional cross stirring structure. Through the synergistic effect of the spiral plate 6 and the stirring plate 7, the hot pot ingredients in the storage silo 3 can be fully stirred, promoting the separation of oil from the solid base material.
[0028] In addition, a filter frame 9 is provided on the working box 1. The filter frame 9 extends into the cavity of the storage bin 3 and is provided with a through hole 10. An interception detection mechanism is provided on the through hole 10, and a connecting pipe 11 is provided on the filter frame 9. The oil can be extracted through the connecting pipe 11. After the hot pot ingredients are fully stirred, they are left to stand for a period of time to wait for the oil to separate. The separated oil can be adsorbed and collected into a designated container through the connecting pipe 11.
[0029] A stainless steel filter frame 9 is also provided on the top of the working chamber 1. The filter frame 9 extends downward into the cavity of the storage bin 3. A through hole 10 is provided on the side wall of the filter frame 9. A replaceable stainless steel filter screen is installed on the through hole 10 for filtering oil. There is a food-grade silicone connecting pipe 11 in the filter frame 9 for extracting the separated oil. The connecting pipe 11 is connected to a vacuum pump. Through the negative pressure of the vacuum pump, the separated oil is extracted from the storage bin 3 and collected into a designated container.
[0030] To prevent excessive oil extraction, a photoelectric liquid level sensor 13 is also installed on the filter frame 9. The working end of the liquid level sensor 13 faces the filter screen to monitor the oil level in the filter frame 9 in real time.
[0031] A touch screen is also installed on the working box 1, and PLC programming control is adopted. The operation is carried out by the touch screen. When the liquid level reaches the set upper limit, the liquid level detection sensor 13 will send a signal to the PLC control system, and the control system will automatically stop the vacuum pump to prevent the oil from overflowing. The operator can set the upper limit of the liquid level and monitor the oil extraction process through the touch screen.
[0032] During operation, after the hot pot ingredients are thoroughly stirred and allowed to settle, the oil gradually accumulates at the top of the storage silo 3. At this point, the vacuum pump is started, and the oil is drawn into the filter frame 9 through the connecting pipe 11. After being filtered by the filter screen, the liquid level detection sensor 13 monitors the liquid level in the filter frame 9 in real time. When the liquid level reaches the upper limit, the extraction automatically stops. A discharge pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the storage silo 3, and the discharge pipe 12 extends to the outside of the working box 1 and is equipped with a control valve for discharging the solid base material. This achieves the purpose of automatic separation, filtration, and extraction of oil, improving production efficiency and product quality, preventing the loss of oil or solid base material during the separation process, and reducing production costs.
