The invention relates to the technical field of kitchen utensils, and discloses a household kitchen garbage can capable of preventing peculiar smell from drifting. The household kitchen garbage can comprises a body, wherein the inner side surface of the body is rotatably connected with a rotating shaft, the outer side surface of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected with a sealing plate, and the outer part of the sealing plate is movably connected with a control assembly. Through interaction of the rotating shaft, a photoresistor, a control assembly, a sealing plate, a fixed shell, a power connection column, an electrorheological body, a limiting wheel, a movable rod and a first spring, the sealing plate can seal the interior of the garbage can when a garbage can cover is opened, and garbage on the top of the sealing plate is automatically conveyed into a collecting box after the garbage can cover is closed, so that the situation that when the garbage can cover is opened for throwing garbage, peculiar smell in the garbage can drifts out, and consequently a user feels uncomfortable is avoided. Therefore, the practicability of the kitchen garbage can is greatly improved, the use experience of the kitchen garbage can is better, and meanwhile the kitchen garbage can can meet the requirements of actual use conditions.
