Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular relates to a water vapor separator. Background Technology
[0002] Current water-vapor separators suffer from inadequate design of the water-blocking structure and poor placement of the exhaust channel, resulting in insufficient dispersal of air bubbles in the water flow. Under high-temperature conditions, the gas and water flow mix and are ejected. At the same time, the lack of an effective flow guiding structure within the separation chamber leads to turbulent water flow paths, causing water outlet deviation, bifurcation, and flow interruption. Furthermore, the reliance on traditional riveting processes at component connections (such as between the separation box and metal parts) results in insufficient sealing, further exacerbating gas-liquid separation failure and affecting reliability. Utility Model Content
[0003] (I) Purpose of the utility model
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water vapor separator to solve the technical problems of insufficient bubble dispersion, disordered water flow path, and insufficient component sealing caused by the design defects of the water-blocking structure of the current water vapor separator, which leads to high temperature water vapor spray, skewed and bifurcerated water outlet and flow interruption.
[0005] (II) Technical Solution
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided in this application is as follows:
[0007] A water vapor separator includes: a separation box and a cover thereon; the separation box has a water inlet at one end and a water outlet and an exhaust port at the other end; a water baffle plate is provided inside the separation box between the water outlet and the exhaust port, and an exhaust gap is formed between the upper end of the water baffle plate and the cover; a primary water baffle plate is provided inside the separation box corresponding to the water inlet for dispersing air bubbles in the water flow; a plurality of secondary water baffle plates are provided inside the separation box between the primary water baffle plate and the water outlet for further dispersing residual and / or newly generated small air bubbles in the water flow after treatment by the primary water baffle plate; the dispersed gas is discharged from the exhaust port through the exhaust gap, and the water flow is discharged from the water outlet.
[0008] The primary baffle breaks up the initial bubbles in the incoming water flow, and then multiple secondary baffles further disperse the remaining or newly formed small bubbles, significantly improving the bubble breaking efficiency. The gap between the baffle plate and the exhaust gas forms a dedicated gas channel, achieving efficient gas-liquid separation and effectively solving the problem of high-temperature water spraying. At the same time, the water flow is guided in an orderly manner and discharged from the outlet in a concentrated manner, avoiding branching and flow interruption.
[0009] In some embodiments, the primary water-blocking bone is an arc-shaped structure that bends toward the direction of water flow.
[0010] The arc-shaped structure optimizes the water flow impact angle through fluid dynamics, reduces resistance, and increases the bubble collision area, allowing the initial bubbles to break up more completely and reducing the probability of large bubbles entering the downstream from the source.
[0011] In some embodiments, the cover extends outward to form a backwater baffle that can be inserted between the primary baffle and the secondary baffle, the backwater baffle being bent in the opposite direction to the water flow direction.
[0012] The anti-water baffle creates reverse turbulence, forcing the water flow to swirl and collide, further tearing apart the bubble clusters treated by the primary water baffle.
[0013] In some embodiments, there are three secondary baffles, located on both sides and in the middle of the separation box. The secondary baffles on both sides are inclined toward the outlet, and the secondary baffles in the middle are parallel to the water flow direction.
[0014] The inclined secondary baffles on both sides guide the water flow to converge towards the center, while the parallel baffle in the middle stabilizes the main flow direction. The three work together to eliminate water flow turbulence. The full-section coverage of the dispersing structure ensures that there is no area for air bubbles to escape, ultimately achieving vertical and concentrated water discharge.
[0015] In some embodiments, the vent is arranged in an arc around the water outlet.
[0016] The arc-shaped exhaust port is positioned as close as possible to the gas enrichment area behind the baffle plate, shortening the gas migration path, preventing gas stagnation from interfering with water flow, and simultaneously improving exhaust efficiency and water output stability.
[0017] In some embodiments, the baffle plate is arranged along the shape of the vent, and its two ends are respectively connected to the inner sidewall of the separation box to form an Ω shape.
[0018] In some embodiments, the two ends of the baffle plate form an arc-shaped structure facing the water outlet.
[0019] The arc-shaped end guides the gas smoothly into the exhaust gap, reducing turbulence;
[0020] In some embodiments, a reinforcing plate is provided between the water-blocking plate and the inner wall of the separation box at the middle position of the vent.
[0021] The reinforcing plate enhances the water-resistant plate's resistance to deformation under high-pressure conditions, ensuring long-term sealing reliability. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0030] This utility model provides a water vapor separator, comprising a separator box 1 and a cover 2 covering its top, which are sealed together by ultrasonic welding. The separator box 1 has an inlet 11 at its first end and an outlet 12 and an exhaust port 13 arranged side-by-side at its second end. Notably, a baffle plate 14 is provided inside the separator box 1 near the outlet 12 and exhaust port 13, separating the outlet 12 and exhaust port 13 into two areas. Specifically, the upper edge of the baffle plate 14 maintains an exhaust gap 3 of approximately 3mm between it and the inner wall of the cover 2. In particular, a primary baffle 15 is installed directly opposite the inlet 11 to impact and break up large air bubbles in the water flow; and multiple secondary baffles 16 are arranged between the primary baffle 15 and the outlet 12 to further break up residual or newly formed small air bubbles. In this way, gas is discharged from the exhaust port 13 through the exhaust gap 3, while the water flows directionally to the outlet 12.
[0031] Furthermore, the primary water-blocking bone 15 adopts an arc-shaped curved structure facing the direction of water flow. The arc design generates a centripetal vortex when the water flow impacts, increasing the collision area of bubbles and thus improving the initial crushing efficiency.
[0032] Based on this, the edge of the lid 2 extends downward to form a water-repellent rib 21, which inserts into the gap between the primary water-repellent rib 15 and the secondary water-repellent rib 16. It is worth noting that the water-repellent rib 21 bends in the opposite direction of the water flow, forcing the water flow to form a swirling turbulent flow. Preferably, the water-repellent rib 21 is integrally injection molded with the lid 2, but it can also be achieved by welding a thin metal sheet.
[0033] The secondary baffles 16 are preferably three in number: the two side baffles are inclined at about 30 degrees toward the outlet 12, while the middle baffle is parallel to the water flow direction. In particular, the height of all three is 80% of the depth of the separation box 1, forming a full cross-section coverage. In this way, the side baffles guide the water flow toward the center to converge, and the middle baffle stabilizes the flow direction, working together to eliminate turbulence.
[0034] Preferably, the vent 13 is arranged in a semi-circular arc around the water outlet 12, with a width of approximately 5 mm. Correspondingly, the baffle plate 14 is bent into an Ω-shaped structure according to the shape of the vent 13, and its two ends are welded to the side wall of the separation box 1 or integrally injection molded. Preferably, the two ends of the baffle plate 14 smoothly transition to the water outlet 12 in an arc shape.
[0035] The arc-shaped structures at both ends of the baffle plate 14 guide the gas smoothly into the exhaust gap 3. Furthermore, a reinforcing plate 17 is added to the back of the baffle plate 14 at the middle section of the exhaust port 13, and this reinforcing plate 17 is connected to the side wall of the separation box 1. In this way, gas turbulence is reduced and the deformation resistance of the baffle plate 14 under high pressure is improved.
[0036] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within its protection scope. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
