[0036] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.
[0037] First, combine Figures 1-4 This invention describes an oil-water separator for a dry cleaning machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is used for separating oil and water and has a wide range of applications.
[0038] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, an oil-water separator for a dry cleaning machine according to an embodiment of the present invention has a separator body 100, an inlet 200, an observation component, an oil outlet 400, a water tank 500, a water pipe 600, and an air outlet 700.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, inlet 200 is located at the top of separator body 100 for oil-water mixture to enter the interior of separator body 100.
[0040] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3As shown, an observation assembly is installed on the separator body 100 to observe whether an oil-water mixture has entered the interior of the separator body 100. The observation assembly includes: a flow guide channel 301, an observation channel 302, a first observation cylinder 303, and a first observation window 304. The flow guide channel 301 is installed on the top inner wall of the separator body 100, with its top communicating with the inlet 200 and its bottom having an inclined surface 3011. The observation channel 302 is installed on one side inner wall of the separator body 100, communicating with the flow guide channel 301, and with its bottom and top communicating with the interior of the separator body 100. The first observation cylinder 303 is installed on one side top of the separator body 100 and communicates with the observation channel 302. The first observation window 304 is installed on the first observation cylinder 303. The oil-water mixture enters the guide channel 301 through the inlet 200, then flows into the observation channel 302, and finally enters the interior of the separator body 100. During this process, it can be observed through the first observation window 304 whether oil or water has entered.
[0041] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the observation assembly also includes a first connector 305 and a first locking member 306. The first connector 305 is connected to the first observation cylinder 303; the first locking member 306 is locked to the first connector 305 by bolts and nuts, and the first observation window 304 is located between the first connector 305 and the first locking member 306, which facilitates the installation and removal of the first observation window 304.
[0042] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, a first sealing ring 307 is provided at the connection between the first observation window 304, the first connecting member 305, and the first locking member 306 to ensure the sealing of the connection.
[0043] Specifically, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the oil outlet 400 is located on the separator body 100 and is used to discharge the separated oil.
[0044] Specifically, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the water outlet tank 500 is located at the bottom front side of the separator body 100 and is connected to the interior of the separator body 100.
[0045] Specifically, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the top of the water outlet pipe 600 is inserted into the interior of the water outlet tank 500 to discharge the separated water.
[0046] Specifically, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the drain port 700 is located on one side of the bottom of the outlet tank 500 and is used to drain the internal solution of the separator body 100.
[0047] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2As shown in Figure 4, the oil-water separator of a dry cleaning machine according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes: a second observation cylinder 801 and a second observation window 802. The second observation cylinder 801 is disposed on the bottom side of the separator body 100 and communicates with the interior of the separator body 100; the second observation window 802 is disposed on the second observation cylinder 801.
[0048] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2 As shown in Figure 4, the observation assembly also includes a second connector 803 and a second locking member 804. The second connector 803 is connected to the second observation cylinder 801; the second locking member 804 is locked to the second connector 803 by bolts and nuts, and the second observation window 802 is located between the second connector 803 and the second locking member 804, which facilitates the installation and removal of the second observation window 802.
[0049] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2 As shown in Figure 4, a second sealing ring 805 is provided at the connection between the second observation window 802, the second connecting member 803, and the second locking member 804 to ensure the sealing of the connection.
[0050] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, an oil-water separator for a dry cleaning machine according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes: a connecting port 901, which is located at the bottom of the separator body 100 and is used to connect the separator body 100 and the water outlet tank 500.
[0051] Furthermore, the bottom of the separator body 100 is provided with an inclined section 101.
[0052] The oil-water mixture flows through inlet 200, through guide channel 301 and observation channel 302 into the interior of separator body 100. Based on density difference (gravity settling), when left to stand, the oil naturally floats to the top and the water sinks. The separated oil is then discharged through oil outlet 400 and the separated water is discharged through water outlet. When it is necessary to drain, it is drained through drain outlet 700.
[0053] As described above, the oil-water separator of a dry cleaning machine according to an embodiment of the present invention can effectively separate oil and water. By setting a first observation window 304 and a second observation window 802, the first observation window 304 can be used to check whether oil and water have entered the separator, and the second observation window 802 can be used to check the separation situation inside the separator, thereby clearly understanding the condition of the oil-water separator.
[0054] The above combined with the appendix Figures 1-2 An oil-water separator for a dry cleaning machine according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. Furthermore, the present invention can also be applied to dry cleaning machines.
[0055] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a dry cleaning machine is provided, which includes the oil-water separator of the dry cleaning machine of the previous embodiment, and can effectively separate oil and water.
