Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of drinking water device technology, and in particular to a water vapor separator and a water dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] The large amount of high-temperature steam stored in the hot tank of a water dispenser is usually discharged above the cold tank via an overflow pipe, so that the cold tank can help cool the high-temperature steam. However, some steam still sprays into the cold tank, causing the water temperature in the cold tank to rise and affecting the water dispenser's cooling function, which needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a water vapor separator and a water dispenser to solve the technical problem of steam splashing from hot tanks.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application proposes a water vapor separator, comprising:

[0005] A housing, one end of which is provided with an exhaust port;

[0006] A separator is disposed within the housing and divides the housing into a separation chamber and an exhaust chamber. The exhaust port communicates with the exhaust chamber. The separator is provided with multiple vent holes communicating with the separation chamber and the exhaust chamber.

[0007] A conduit, one end of which is located inside the separator, and the other end of which is used to connect to the hot water tank of the water dispenser;

[0008] The lower end of the separator is provided with a drainage opening for the conduit to extend into the separator, and the housing is provided with a drainage port opposite to the drainage opening.

[0009] Optionally, in one embodiment, the separating member includes a first separating part, the periphery of which is connected to the inner wall of the housing to divide the housing into the separating chamber and the exhaust chamber. The first separating part is provided with a plurality of first vent holes, which connect the separating chamber and the exhaust chamber.

[0010] Optionally, in one embodiment, the separating member further includes a second separating part located in the separating cavity, the second separating part being sleeved on the conduit, the first separating part blocking the upper opening of the second separating part, the lower end of the second separating part being provided with the drainage opening, and the second separating part being provided with a plurality of second vent holes.

[0011] Optionally, in one embodiment, the second separation portion is provided with a plurality of inwardly protruding second protrusions, and the plurality of second vent holes correspond one-to-one with the plurality of second protrusions and penetrate through the second protrusions.

[0012] Optionally, in one embodiment, a plurality of first vent holes are located between the second separation portion and the side wall of the housing. The first separation portion is provided with a plurality of first protrusions corresponding one-to-one with at least a plurality of first vent holes. The first vent holes pass through the corresponding first protrusions, and the plurality of first protrusions are protrudingly disposed on the surface of the first separation portion facing the exhaust chamber.

[0013] Optionally, in one embodiment, the vertical distance between the first separation portion and the exhaust port gradually decreases along the direction away from the housing sidewall of the first separation portion.

[0014] Optionally, in one embodiment, the exhaust port is located at the upper end of the housing, and the side wall of the housing near the exhaust port is set at an acute angle with respect to the axis of the exhaust port.

[0015] This application also proposes a water dispenser, including a hot water tank and a water vapor separator as described above; wherein the conduit is used to pass steam from the hot water tank into the separator.

[0016] Optionally, in one embodiment, the system further includes a water tank connected to the hot tank and an exhaust pipe disposed in the water tank. The first end of the exhaust pipe extends into the exhaust chamber through the exhaust port, and the second end of the exhaust pipe is disposed upward and used for exhausting air.

[0017] Optionally, in one embodiment, the second end of the exhaust pipe is provided with a plurality of air vents.

[0018] The water vapor separator provided in this application has a separator with a drain opening inside the shell. When high-temperature steam enters the separator through the conduit, the separator hinders the flow of steam and separates it. Some of the incompletely vaporized water vapor is trapped and discharged directly to the drain outlet through the drain opening. Some of the high-temperature gas flows to the exhaust chamber through the vent and is discharged through the exhaust outlet. Since the gas discharged from the exhaust outlet carries less water vapor, it is difficult to splash and does not easily affect the water temperature of the water dispenser's cold tank.

Therefore, this application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0039] This application provides a water vapor separator 1 to solve the problem of steam splashing from the hot tank 2. The following description will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0040] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water vapor separator 1 includes:

[0041] The housing 11 has an exhaust port 111 at one end;

[0042] Separator 12 is disposed within housing 11 and divides housing 11 into separation chamber 112 and exhaust chamber 113. Exhaust port 111 communicates with exhaust chamber 113. Separator 12 is provided with multiple vent holes communicating between separation chamber 112 and exhaust chamber 113; and,

[0043] The conduit 13 has one end located inside the separator 12 and the other end of the conduit 13 is used to connect to the hot tank 2 of the water dispenser.

[0044] The lower end of the separator 12 is provided with a drainage opening 1223 for the conduit 13 to extend into the separator 12, and the housing 11 is provided with a drainage port 114 opposite to the drainage opening 1223.

[0045] It should be noted that the high-temperature steam in the hot tank 2 refers to the mixture of gas and liquid water droplets formed after evaporation or boiling. Understandably, the high-temperature steam in the hot tank 2 flows through the conduit 13 to the separator 12. The high-temperature steam includes some incompletely vaporized water vapor and gas. A large amount of water vapor is trapped and condensed in the separator 12, and then flows from the drain opening 1223 to the drain outlet 114 and is directly discharged. The gas flows through the vent to the exhaust chamber 113 and is discharged from the exhaust outlet 111. Because the discharged gas contains only a small amount of residual water vapor, it is unlikely to splash, and the gas dissipates quickly, making it less likely to affect other structures of the water dispenser. Especially when the exhaust outlet 111 is located near the cold tank of the water dispenser, it is less likely to affect the water temperature in the cold tank. The main function of the exhaust chamber 113 is to exhaust gas, but this does not mean that only gas enters the exhaust chamber 113, nor does it mean that the exhaust chamber 113 has no gas-liquid separation function.

[0046] Furthermore, in some related technologies, the pipe used to discharge steam is equipped with a water-vapor separation structure for the first separation. However, the trapped water vapor is then returned to the hot tank 2 via the same pipe. When the returned liquid meets the steam about to be discharged in the pipe, splashing easily occurs, leading to a decrease in separation efficiency. In this embodiment, the separated liquid is discharged directly from the drain opening 1223, without affecting the normal function of the conduit 13. An additional independent drain outlet 114 is also provided, resulting in better separation efficiency.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the separator 12 includes a first separation part 121. The periphery of the first separation part 121 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 11 to divide the housing 11 into a separation chamber 112 and an exhaust chamber 113. The first separation part 121 is provided with a plurality of first vent holes 1212, which connect the separation chamber 112 and the exhaust chamber 113.

[0048] It should be noted that the vents mentioned in other embodiments include the plurality of first vents 1212 provided in the first separation part 121 of this embodiment. According to the description of this embodiment, it can be imagined that the first separation part 121 is a plate-shaped structure, specifically, it can be a flat plate, an arc-shaped plate, a conical plate, etc. The key point is that the liquid condensed on the surface of the first separation part 121 can flow directly to the separation chamber 112, rather than flowing entirely into the conduit 13.

[0049] Understandably, the first separation section 121 divides the interior of the housing 11 into a separation chamber 112 and an exhaust chamber 113, which are connected only by a plurality of first vent holes 1212. This improves the separation effect of water vapor and gas in the separation chamber 112, prevents unseparated or poorly separated steam from escaping into the exhaust chamber 113, and the separated gas flows to the exhaust chamber 113 through the plurality of first vent holes 1212 and is discharged through the exhaust port 111.

[0050] For example, the exhaust chamber 113 can be positioned directly above the separation chamber 112, utilizing gravity to enhance the separation effect of water vapor and gas with different densities, allowing the gas to spontaneously and smoothly flow upward and be discharged. The shape and size of the plurality of second vent holes 1222 can be the same or different, and the shape of the second vent holes 1222 can be round, square, or other shapes.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the separating component 12 also includes a second separating part 122 located in the separating cavity 112. The second separating part 122 is sleeved on the conduit 13. The first separating part 121 blocks the upper opening of the second separating part 122. The lower end of the second separating part 122 is provided with a drainage opening 1223. The second separating part 122 is provided with a plurality of second vent holes 1222.

[0052] It should be noted that the vents mentioned in other embodiments include the plurality of second vents 1222 provided in the second separation part 122 of this embodiment, and also include the plurality of first vents 1212 provided in the first separation part 121 of other embodiments. According to the description in this embodiment, it can be seen that both the upper and lower ends of the second separation part 122 are open, and the upper opening of the second separation part 122 is blocked by the first separation part 121 to prevent steam from flowing directly to the exhaust chamber 113.

[0053] Understandably, the first separation section 121, by blocking the upper opening of the second separation section 122 and the second separation section 122 itself, can completely surround and trap the steam introduced by the conduit 13. Some of the steam condenses on the surface of the aforementioned structure and is directly discharged through the drain opening 1223. Some of the incompletely separated steam flows to the first separation section 121 through the second vent 1222. The first separation section 121 traps and cools the steam a second time. The condensed liquid leaves the surface of the first separation section 121 and is eventually discharged from the drain outlet 114, while the gas flows through multiple second vents 1222 to the exhaust chamber 113 and is discharged from the exhaust outlet 111. The gas discharged after this secondary separation has a low water content, making splashing unlikely.

[0054] For example, the second separation section 122 may have a cylindrical structure.

[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second separation part 122 is provided with a plurality of inwardly protruding second protrusions 1221, and a plurality of second vent holes 1222 correspond one-to-one with the plurality of second protrusions 1221 and penetrate through the second protrusions 1221.

[0056] It should be noted that the inner side of the second separation part 122 is the side facing the conduit 13, and correspondingly, the outer side of the second separation part 122 is the side facing the housing 11.

[0057] It is understandable that by setting the second protrusion 1221 and allowing the second vent 1222 to pass through the second protrusion 1221, the time that steam stays on the second separation section 122 can be extended, promoting the separation of gas and water vapor and improving the separation effect.

[0058] The second vent 1222 protrudes through the second vent 1222 protruding from the inner side of the second separation section 122. The second protrusion 1221 can block some of the steam ejected from the conduit 13 and the liquid condensed on the inner surface of the second separation section 122 from flowing out through the second vent 1222, thus ensuring the gas-liquid separation effect of the second separation section 122. In addition, compared with the second protrusion 1221 being provided on the outer side of the second separation section 122, it can also increase the heat exchange area of ​​the inner surface of the second separation section 122, thereby enhancing the separation effect.

[0059] For example, the shape and size of the plurality of second vent holes 1222 may be the same or different, and the shape of the second vent holes 1222 may be a round hole, a square hole or other shapes of hole.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, a plurality of first vent holes 1212 are located between the second separation part 122 and the side wall of the housing 11. The first separation part 121 is provided with a plurality of first protrusions 1211 corresponding one-to-one with at least a plurality of first vent holes 1212. The first vent holes 1212 pass through the corresponding first protrusions 1211. The plurality of first protrusions 1211 are protruding on the surface of the first separation part 121 facing the exhaust chamber 113.

[0061] It should be noted that "at least multiple first vent holes 1212" means that at least some of the first vent holes 1212 are provided with a first protrusion 1211.

[0062] It is understandable that by using the first protrusion 1211 and having the first vent 1212 pass through the first protrusion 1211, the time that steam stays on the first separation part 121 can be extended, promoting the separation of gas and water vapor and improving the separation effect.

[0063] The steam separated by the second separation section 122 still contains a small amount of water vapor. Since the first separation section 121 is located above the multiple second vent holes 1222, the multiple first protrusions 1211 are protrudingly disposed on the surface of the first separation section 121 facing the exhaust chamber 113, which can increase the heat exchange area of ​​the exhaust chamber 113, so that some uncondensed water vapor can be separated in the exhaust chamber 113.

[0064] For example, at least some of the plurality of first vent holes 1212 can be disposed along the edge of the first separation section 121 and penetrate the first separation section 121. In this way, some of the liquid condensed in the exhaust chamber 113 can flow from the first vent holes 1212 located along the edge of the first separation section 121 into the separation chamber 112. Furthermore, the first vent holes 1212 are far from the second separation section 122, so they are less likely to affect the separation of the steam flowing out of the second vent holes 1222 on the first separation section 121. At the same time, the first vent holes 1212 located along the edge of the first separation section 121 and penetrating the first separation section 121 are not provided with first protrusions 1211, so as to facilitate the drainage of water from the exhaust chamber 113 to the separation chamber 112.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, along the direction of the first separation part 121 away from the side wall of the housing 11, the vertical distance between the first separation part 121 and the exhaust port 111 gradually decreases.

[0066] It should be noted that the vertical distance between the first separation section 121 and the exhaust port 111 refers to the distance between two horizontal lines: one drawn at any position on the first separation section 121, and the other drawn at the end of the exhaust port 111. These horizontal lines are virtual line segments, not actual structural line segments.

[0067] It is understandable that, based on the description of this embodiment, it is not difficult to imagine that the middle protrusion of the first separation part 121 causes the liquid separated in the exhaust chamber 113 to flow outward along the surface of the first separation part 121 and flow into the separation chamber 112, thereby accelerating the discharge speed of the liquid retained in the exhaust chamber 113.

[0068] For example, the first separation portion 121 may be the vertical distance between the surface of the first separation portion 121 facing the exhaust chamber 113 and the exhaust port 111, which gradually decreases in the direction away from the side wall of the housing 11. Alternatively, the vertical distance between the surface of the first separation portion 121 facing the exhaust chamber 113 and the surface facing the separation chamber 112 and the exhaust port 111 may be the vertical distance between the first separation portion 121 and the side wall of the housing 11, which gradually decreases in the direction away from the side wall of the housing 11. The latter is preferred.

[0069] As another example, the first vent hole 1212, which is provided with the first protrusion 1211, extends in an inclined direction toward the housing 11. In this way, the steam flowing out from the first vent hole 1212 can stay on the side wall of the housing 11 before flowing to the exhaust port 111, thereby further achieving the function of gas-liquid separation.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the exhaust port 111 is located at the upper end of the housing 11, and the side wall of the housing 11 near the exhaust port 111 is set at an acute angle about the axis of the exhaust port 111.

[0071] It should be noted that an acute angle refers to an angle greater than 0° and less than 90°. It can be imagined that the side wall of the housing 11 near the exhaust port 111 is conical or pyramidal.

[0072] It is understandable that the sidewall of the housing 11 near the exhaust port 111 facilitates the flow of liquid generated by condensation on its surface away from the exhaust port 111, and makes it easier for it to be discharged into the separation chamber 112 through the first vent hole 1212.

[0073] In some embodiments, as shown in the figure, the vertical distance between the first separation portion 121 and the exhaust port 111 gradually decreases along the direction of the first separation portion 121 away from the side wall of the housing 11.

[0074] The exhaust port 111 is located at the upper end of the housing 11, and the side wall of the housing 11 near the exhaust port 111 is set at an acute angle about the axis of the exhaust port 111; at least the first vent hole 1212 extends toward the housing 11 in the direction near the exhaust chamber 113.

[0075] It is understood that, as described above, the first separation section 121 and the sidewalls of the housing 11 near the exhaust port 111 are both inclined, and the steam discharged through the first vent hole 1212 can be directly sprayed onto the inclined sidewalls of the housing 11 to improve the separation effect.

[0076] This application also provides a water dispenser, which includes a heating tank 2 and a water vapor separator 1 as described above. The specific structure of the water vapor separator 1 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this water dispenser adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here. Among them, the conduit 13 is used to pass the steam in the heating tank 2 into the separator 12.

[0077] It should be noted that hot tank 2 refers to a container used for storing hot water.

[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the water dispenser also includes a water tank 3 connected to the heating tank 2 and an exhaust pipe 4 installed in the water tank 3. The first end of the exhaust pipe 4 extends into the exhaust chamber 113 through the exhaust port 111, and the second end of the exhaust pipe 4 is set upward and used for exhausting air.

[0079] Understandably, placing the exhaust pipe 4 on the water tank 3 utilizes the residual heat of the gas discharged from the exhaust pipe 4 to preheat the water tank 3, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the drinking water. The upward-facing second end of the exhaust pipe 4 can prevent a very small amount of liquid condensed inside the exhaust pipe 4 from spraying out.

[0080] For example, the exhaust pipe 4 can be arranged in an S-shape on the outer surface of the water tank 3. The second end of the exhaust pipe 4 should be higher than the water tank 3 and at the same level as or higher than the exhaust port 111. This fully utilizes gas preheating to preheat the water tank 3, reducing the energy consumption for heating drinking water on the heating tank 2, saving heating time on the heating tank 2, and simultaneously condensing residual water vapor.

[0081] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second end of the exhaust pipe 4 is provided with multiple air vents 41.

[0082] Understandably, the multiple vent holes 41 disperse the gas discharged from the exhaust pipe 4, preventing high-temperature gas from being concentrated and sprayed onto other parts of the water dispenser, thus avoiding damage to those parts. The gas dispersed by the multiple vent holes 41 can cool down quickly, reducing its impact on nearby components.

[0083] For example, when the second end of the exhaust pipe 4 is open, a plurality of air vents 41 may be provided at the end of the second end, the periphery of the second end, or both the end and the periphery of the second end. Alternatively, the second end of the exhaust pipe 4 may be sealed, and a plurality of air vents 41 may be provided on the periphery of the second end.

[0084] In some embodiments, as shown in the figure, the water dispenser further includes a drain pipe 5, with both ends of the drain pipe 5 connected to a drain outlet 114 and a heating tank 2, respectively. This allows the liquid obtained from the separator 12 to be returned to the heating tank 2, reducing water resource consumption.

[0085] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. Parts not described in detail in a particular embodiment can be referred to in the relevant descriptions of other embodiments. In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this application.
