Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, specifically a microbial kitchen waste disposer with a filtration structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the amount of kitchen waste generated is increasing day by day. Kitchen waste is rich in organic matter, such as leftover food, fruit peels, and bones. It is characterized by high moisture content, easy decomposition and spoilage, and the generation of odors. If it is not treated in a timely and effective manner, it will not only occupy a large amount of land resources, but also breed mosquitoes and spread germs, posing a serious threat to the surrounding environment and people's health. Therefore, how to efficiently and environmentally dispose of kitchen waste has become an urgent problem to be solved in society.

[0003] Microbial food waste disposers have emerged as a new type of food waste treatment equipment. They utilize the decomposition action of microorganisms to break down organic matter in food waste into harmless substances such as water, carbon dioxide, and inorganic salts, achieving the reduction, harmlessness, and resource recovery of food waste. This treatment method not only reduces waste emissions and environmental pollution but also allows the processed products to be used as organic fertilizer in agricultural production, resulting in significant economic and environmental benefits.

[0004] Existing microbial food waste processors generally consist of a mixing tank, a mixing device, a heating device, a ventilation device, and a filter assembly. Their working principle is as follows: food waste is placed in the mixing tank, an appropriate amount of microbial inoculum is added, and the mixing device thoroughly mixes the food waste with the microorganisms. Simultaneously, the heating device maintains a suitable temperature within the mixing tank, promoting the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and accelerating the decomposition of organic matter. The ventilation device introduces fresh air into the mixing tank, providing oxygen for the microorganisms' respiration and expelling waste gases generated during the processing.

[0005] The filter assembly is a crucial component of a microbial food waste processor. Its primary function is to filter the exhaust gas, removing odors, dust, and harmful microorganisms to meet environmental emission standards. Filter assemblies typically employ multiple layers of filter materials, such as activated carbon and filter screens, to enhance filtration efficiency.

[0006] However, existing microbial food waste disposers have some shortcomings in their filtration structures. In current designs, the airflow channels and exhaust channels are not positioned appropriately within the filter components. Typically, these channels are relatively concentrated, causing the airflow to mostly flow through only a localized area of ​​the filter components after entering them, rather than reaching the majority of the filter.

[0007] This results in low utilization of the filter components. Only some of the filter material can function, while most of the filter material remains idle. For example, when exhaust gas enters the filter component from the airflow channel, the airflow is concentrated in a certain area, causing the filter material in that area to quickly reach saturation and become unable to effectively filter harmful substances in the exhaust gas. Meanwhile, the filter material in other areas cannot perform its filtering function because no airflow passes through them, resulting in a waste of resources.

[0008] This poor filtration results in exhaust gases still containing significant amounts of pollutants such as odors, dust, and harmful microorganisms. This not only fails to meet environmental emission standards but also negatively impacts the surrounding environment and human health. Furthermore, ineffective filtration can clog ventilation systems, affecting the processor's normal operation and increasing maintenance costs and repair frequency.

[0009] This utility model was proposed in response to the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0010] Regarding the existing processor filtration structure mentioned above, the airflow channel and exhaust channel are located in the filter components, which prevents airflow from passing through most of the filter components, resulting in poor filtration performance.

[0011] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0012] A microbial kitchen waste disposer with a filtration structure includes a housing, a stirring tank inside the housing, a filter assembly on one side of the housing, and airflow channels communicating with both the filter assembly and the stirring tank inside the housing. The airflow channels are located in the upper region of the filter assembly. The housing also includes a suction assembly, with a suction hole located on the side wall of the filter assembly near its bottom. The suction end of the suction assembly is connected to the suction hole. The housing has an air outlet channel, and the air outlet end of the suction assembly communicates with the air outlet channel.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances and discloses a microbial kitchen waste disposer with a filtration structure. It includes a housing, a stirring tank inside the housing, a filter assembly on one side of the housing, and airflow channels communicating with both the filter assembly and the stirring tank within the housing. These airflow channels are located in the upper part of the filter assembly. The housing also includes a suction assembly with suction holes near the bottom of the filter assembly's side wall. The suction end of the suction assembly is connected to the suction holes. The housing has an air outlet channel, and the air outlet end of the suction assembly communicates with the air outlet channel. In this design, airflow enters from the top of the filter assembly and flows to the suction holes at the bottom, allowing the airflow to pass through as many parts of the filter assembly as possible. This ensures that the activated carbon and other filter materials within the filter assembly can fully contact the air, thereby more comprehensively filtering and adsorbing pollutants in the air and greatly improving the filtration effect.

[0027] Figure 12 for Figure 11 A cross-sectional view along line AA. Detailed Implementation

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, a microbial kitchen waste processor with a filtration structure according to this embodiment includes a housing 1, a stirring tank 2 inside the housing 1, a filter assembly 6 on one side of the housing 1, an airflow channel 11 inside the housing 1 that communicates with the filter assembly 6 and the stirring tank 2 respectively, the airflow channel 11 being located in the upper region of the filter assembly 6, a suction assembly 7 inside the housing 1, a suction hole 61 near the bottom of the side wall of the filter assembly 6, the suction end of the suction assembly 7 being connected to the suction hole 61, an air outlet channel 12 inside the housing 1, the air outlet end of the suction assembly 7 communicating with the air outlet channel 12, the suction assembly 7 being able to draw air from the stirring tank 2 through the filter assembly 6, the air being filtered by a filter material such as activated carbon inside the filter assembly 6, and the suction assembly 7 discharging the filtered air through the air outlet channel 12;

[0030] Since the airflow channel 11 is located in the upper region of the filter assembly 6, and the air intake hole 61 is located on the side wall of the filter assembly 6 near its bottom, after the air enters from the upper part of the filter assembly 6, it will flow from top to bottom under the guidance of suction. After passing through the filter materials such as activated carbon filled in the filter assembly 6, these filter materials can adsorb and filter pollutants such as odors, dust and harmful microorganisms in the air. The filtered and purified air is drawn in by the air intake assembly 7 through the air intake hole 61, and then discharged to the outside of the housing 1 through the air outlet 12 via the air outlet end of the air intake assembly 7.

[0031] In this design, the airflow enters from the top of the filter assembly 6 and flows to the bottom air intake 61, allowing the airflow to pass through as many parts of the filter assembly 6 as possible. This ensures that the filter materials, such as activated carbon, in the filter assembly 6 can fully contact the air, thereby filtering and adsorbing pollutants in the air more comprehensively and greatly improving the filtration effect.

[0032] Because the airflow flows evenly across the entire filter assembly 6, it prevents localized filter media from becoming rapidly saturated and failing due to overuse. This extends the overall lifespan of the filter media, reduces the frequency of replacement, and lowers operating costs.

[0033] When the airflow can flow evenly through the filter assembly 6, the distribution of pollutants within the filter assembly 6 will be more uniform, reducing the likelihood of blockages caused by excessive accumulation of pollutants in localized areas. This helps maintain unobstructed airflow channels, enabling the suction assembly 7 to operate stably, reducing equipment malfunctions caused by blockages, and improving the overall stability and reliability of the microbial food waste processor.

[0034] Because filter element 6 is less prone to clogging, the maintenance cycle of the equipment can be extended accordingly, and the maintenance workload and costs will also be reduced. At the same time, extending the service life of the filter media further reduces the operating costs of the equipment.

[0035] By improving filtration efficiency, pollutants such as odors, dust, and harmful microorganisms in the air can be removed more effectively, resulting in cleaner air released into the environment that meets environmental protection requirements. This helps reduce pollution to the surrounding environment and protects the ecological environment and people's health.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the filter assembly 6 and the housing 1 are detachably connected.

[0037] Specifically, as usage time increases, the filter media (such as activated carbon) within filter assembly 6 will gradually become saturated, and its filtration efficiency will decrease. When filter assembly 6 needs to be replaced, since it is detachably connected to housing 1, the user can remove it using specific methods, such as unfastening clips or unscrewing screws (the specific method depends on the actual connection method used). Then, a new filter assembly 6 can be installed on housing 1 to restore normal operation of the equipment and ensure the continued effectiveness of air filtration.

[0038] The filter media in filter assembly 6 needs to be replaced after a period of use, and the detachable connection structure makes this operation very simple. Users do not need to disassemble the entire device in a complicated manner; they can simply remove filter assembly 6 separately to easily replace the filter media, greatly saving maintenance time and effort.

[0039] Besides replacing the filter media, dust and dirt will accumulate inside and on the surface of filter assembly 6 after long-term use. The detachable design allows users to remove filter assembly 6 for thorough cleaning, ensuring its performance and hygiene, and further improving the lifespan and filtration efficiency of the equipment.

[0040] When filter element 6 malfunctions or its filtration effect is poor, users only need to replace filter element 6 itself, rather than replacing the entire device. This avoids the need to replace the entire device due to partial damage, greatly reducing operating costs.

[0041] The detachable connection structure allows users to select different types and specifications of filter components or filter media according to actual needs and different usage scenarios. For example, when dealing with kitchen waste with strong odors, an activated carbon filter component with stronger adsorption capacity can be selected; when used in environments with high air quality requirements, a filter component with higher filtration precision can be selected. This flexibility allows users to meet diverse usage needs at a lower cost.

[0042] With the continuous development of technology and changes in user needs, filtration technology is also constantly improving. The detachable connection structure allows the equipment to be easily adapted to new filter components, and users can upgrade the filtration function of the equipment at any time to meet different filtration requirements and environmental standards, thus extending the service life and application range of the equipment.

[0043] Timely replacement of the filter components ensures the equipment maintains excellent filtration performance, continuously and effectively removing pollutants such as odors, dust, and harmful microorganisms from the air, providing users with a clean and healthy operating environment. Especially when processing kitchen waste, it effectively reduces odor emissions and improves indoor air quality.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the filter assembly 6 in this embodiment includes a housing 62 and a top cover 63 that is detachably connected to the housing 62.

[0045] When the filter media becomes saturated or ineffective after a period of use, since the top cover 63 is detachably connected to the housing 62, the user can open the top cover 63 to directly access the filter media inside the housing 62. The old filter media can be removed, replaced with new filter media, and then the top cover 63 can be reinstalled onto the housing 62 to restore the normal filtration function of the filter assembly 6, ensuring continuous and effective air purification.

[0046] The detachable design of the top pull-out cover 63 makes changing the filter media extremely easy. Users do not need complicated tools or professional skills; they can simply open the pull-out cover to replace the filter media directly, greatly reducing the difficulty and time cost of changing the filter media.

[0047] After opening the top pull-out cover 63, users can easily inspect the inside of the housing 62 to check for foreign object accumulation, the condition of the filter media, etc. Timely detection and handling of problems helps ensure the normal operation of the filter assembly 6.

[0048] Users can select different types and specifications of filter media according to their actual needs and different usage scenarios. For example, activated carbon with different adsorption properties can be selected for different odor components; filter cotton with different filtration precision can be selected for dust of different particle sizes. The filter media can be easily replaced by changing the top pull cover 63, allowing the filter assembly 6 to better adapt to various complex filtration requirements.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with an assembly hole 13 on one side for assembling the box 62. When the box 62 is assembled into the assembly hole 13, the outer side of the box 62 has the same curvature as the outer side of the housing 1.

[0050] When the filter assembly housing 62 needs to be installed, the operator aligns housing 62 with the mounting hole 13 on one side of housing 1 and installs housing 62 into the mounting hole 13 using a certain method (such as direct insertion, snap-fit, etc.). Because the shape of housing 62 and the size and position of mounting hole 13 were precisely planned during the design phase, the outer surface of housing 62 can maintain the same curvature as the outer surface of housing 1 after installation. Thus, in terms of overall appearance, the filter assembly housing 62 appears as if it were part of housing 1, achieving a seamless connection between the two in terms of shape.

[0051] The outer surface of the housing 62 has the same curvature as the outer surface of the shell 1, making the overall appearance of the microbial food waste disposer look smoother and more unified. This avoids the abruptness caused by the mismatch between the shape of the housing 62 and the shell 1, improves the overall aesthetics of the product, and better meets consumers' aesthetic requirements for product appearance.

[0052] If the outer surface of the housing 62 has a different curvature than the outer surface of the shell 1, it may create protrusions or depressions. These areas are prone to bumps and knocks during personnel movement, potentially causing injury or product damage. A design where both surfaces have the same curvature eliminates these potential hazards, resulting in a smoother product surface and reduced safety risks.

[0053] A smooth, uniform outer surface is less prone to dust accumulation and dirt buildup. Compared to surfaces with bumps or depressions, dust and debris are less likely to adhere to a uniformly curved outer surface, making daily cleaning and maintenance easier and helping to maintain the product's hygiene.

[0054] When the housing 62 is assembled into the mounting hole 13 and its outer surface has the same curvature as the outer surface of the shell 1, it indicates that the fit between the two is highly precise. This tight assembly relationship can enhance the connection stability between the housing 62 and the shell 1, and reduce the possibility of the housing 62 becoming loose or shifting due to vibration, shaking or other factors during use.

[0055] The consistent curvature design helps to distribute stress more evenly across the housing 62 and shell 1 when the product is subjected to external forces. This avoids structural damage caused by localized stress concentration and improves the overall structural strength and reliability of the product.

[0056] The design of the cabinet 62 having the same curvature as the outer surface of the shell 1 makes the product more compact in overall shape, and it does not take up too much space due to the extra protrusion of the cabinet 62. This is especially important for places with limited space (such as small kitchens), as it can make more efficient use of space resources.

[0057] During product placement and transportation, the compact and uniform shape makes the products easier to place and stack, reducing the space occupied and improving transportation and storage efficiency.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the outer side of the housing 62 in this embodiment is provided with a handle groove 621, which makes it easy for users to lift the filter assembly 6 or the processor. It has the advantages of simple structure and convenient operation.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the handle groove 621 in this embodiment is provided with a hook 622. The hook 622 can be used to hang parts such as shovels, and the shovel can be used to scoop up kitchen waste in the mixing bucket 2.

[0060] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom side wall of the housing 1 is provided with an air outlet 15 corresponding to the output port of the air outlet channel 12, so as to form the effect of bottom side air outlet.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the bottom of the housing 1 in this embodiment is provided with an airflow circulation disc 8 located below the air outlet channel 12 and communicating with the air outlet channel 12 and the air outlet 15 respectively. The airflow circulation disc 8 can change the direction of the airflow blown out of the air outlet channel 12 so that the airflow circulates within it and is discharged from the air outlet 15 to form the effect of bottom side airflow.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the filter assembly 6 in this embodiment also includes an ozone generator disposed in the airflow channel 11 and a UV lamp located above the airflow circulation disk 8.

[0063] Preferably, when the airflow passes through the air outlet 12, it is introduced into the airflow circulation disk 8 instead of being discharged directly from the air outlet 15. The airflow circulates within the airflow circulation disk 8, changing its original flow direction, and is finally discharged from the air outlet 15, forming the effect of bottom and side airflow.

[0064] A UV lamp structure is installed in the air outlet duct 12. By utilizing the delay of airflow in the airflow circulation disk 8, the time for UV lamps to irradiate the air is increased, thereby improving the sterilization and purification effect on the air.

[0065] The ozone generator is located in the airflow channel 11 and further purifies the air by generating ozone, removing odors and harmful gases.

[0066] Preferably, the bottom of the housing 1 is provided with casters 14 for easy movement.

[0067] Preferably, the bottom of the housing 1 is provided with a flip cover 16, which can be opened or closed on the housing 1 manually or automatically.

[0068] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the mixing tank 2 in this embodiment is provided with a mixing mechanism 4. The mixing mechanism 4 includes a mixing shaft 42 and a plurality of mixing blades 43 spaced apart on the mixing shaft 42. Each mixing blade 43 has an inclined surface 431 on its surface, so that while the mixing blade 43 can mix the food waste, the food waste will also slide off the mixing blade 43 through the inclined surface 431 and will not stay on the mixing blade 43 for too long.

[0069] When the microbial food waste processor is started, the motor drives the stirring shaft 42 to rotate, and the multiple stirring blades 43 installed on the stirring shaft 42 rotate synchronously. During the stirring process, the stirring blades 43 will come into full contact with the food waste, stirring, turning and mixing it, so that the food waste and microorganisms can come into uniform contact, promoting the decomposition of food waste by microorganisms.

[0070] Since each stirring blade 43 has an inclined surface 431, during the rotation of the stirring blade 43, the kitchen waste attached to the stirring blade 43 will be subjected to various forces such as gravity and centrifugal force generated during the stirring process. These forces will cause the kitchen waste to slide down along the inclined surface 431 and eventually slide off the stirring blade 43 and return to the kitchen waste in the mixing bucket 2.

[0071] Traditional mixing blades typically have a relatively flat surface, making it easy for food waste to adhere and difficult to remove on its own. However, the design of the inclined surface 431 in this embodiment allows food waste to slide down the inclined surface under the action of force, greatly reducing the amount of food waste residue on the surface of the mixing blade 43. This helps to keep the mixing blade 43 clean, avoids the growth of bacteria and the generation of odors due to food waste residue, improves the working environment of the processor, and also reduces pollution to the surrounding air.

[0072] Furthermore, this embodiment reduces food waste residue by using the inclined surface 431, which reduces the weight and running resistance of the stirring blade 43, thereby reducing the burden on the motor, reducing energy consumption, improving the operating efficiency of the stirring mechanism, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0073] Furthermore, residual kitchen waste can hinder the full contact between newly added kitchen waste and microorganisms, affecting the decomposition effect of microorganisms. However, the inclined surface 431 allows kitchen waste to slide down in time, ensuring the uniformity of mixing and allowing more kitchen waste to be fully mixed with microorganisms, thereby improving the decomposition efficiency of microorganisms on kitchen waste and making the kitchen waste treatment more thorough.

[0074] The design of setting an inclined surface 431 on the surface of the stirring blade 43 is relatively simple, does not require large-scale modification of the existing stirring mechanism, has low cost in manufacturing and installation, and has high practicality and scalability.

[0075] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the inclined surface 431 is inclined from the center of the stirring blade 43 to both sides.

[0076] Preferably, since the inclined surface 431 is inclined from the center of the stirring blade 43 to both sides, the kitchen waste attached to the center of the stirring blade 43 will slide to both sides of the stirring blade 43 under the action of the centrifugal force generated by the rotation and the component force of its own gravity along the inclined surface.

[0077] For example, when the stirring blade 43 rotates, the centrifugal force will cause the food waste to tend to move towards the edge of the stirring blade, while the guiding effect of the inclined surface 431 will guide the food waste to move more smoothly from the center to both sides, and finally slide back into the food waste in the mixing bucket 2 from both sides of the stirring blade 43.

[0078] The design, which tilts from the center of the mixing blade to both sides, allows food waste to slide off the mixing blade quickly and evenly. This two-way tilting method can simultaneously discharge food waste from the center of the mixing blade to both sides, speeding up the process of food waste detaching from the mixing blade, improving the working efficiency of the mixing mechanism, and reducing the time that food waste stays on the mixing blade.

[0079] Furthermore, as food waste slides from the center of the mixing blade to both sides, it will form a wider distribution within the mixing bucket 2. The food waste that was originally concentrated near the mixing blade is dispersed to different locations within the mixing bucket, further promoting the uniformity of mixing within the mixing bucket. This helps microorganisms to fully contact more food waste, improving the decomposition effect of the food waste.

[0080] Furthermore, by allowing food waste to slide from the center to both sides, excessive accumulation and friction of food waste in a certain local area of ​​the mixing blades is avoided, resulting in more even wear of the mixing blades, extending their service life, and reducing equipment maintenance costs.

[0081] During the mixing process, a certain fluid environment is formed around the mixing blades. The inclined surface 431, which slopes from the center to both sides, helps to improve the fluid flow characteristics around the mixing blades, reduces resistance and turbulence during the mixing process, makes the mixing process more stable, reduces energy loss, and improves the overall performance of the mixing mechanism.

[0082] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the stirring blade 43 in this embodiment is shaped like a teardrop or a prism.

[0083] Preferably, the tip of the teardrop-shaped stirring blade 43 is relatively sharp, so that it encounters less resistance when cutting into the material during the stirring process. When the stirring blade rotates, the tip first contacts the material, and then the material flows along the arc-shaped surface of the teardrop. This is because a certain fluid field is formed around the stirring blade when it rotates. The teardrop shape conforms to the flow characteristics of fluids and can guide the material to flow in an orderly manner, thereby achieving the stirring of the material.

[0084] The rotating agitator blades generate centrifugal force, causing the material to spread from the center of the blades to the edges. The teardrop-shaped blades can better guide the material from the center to the edges, creating a circulating flow within the container and enhancing the mixing effect.

[0085] Furthermore, its smooth, curved design makes it less likely for materials to adhere to the surface of the mixing blades, reducing the possibility of material accumulation and ensuring the continuous effectiveness of mixing.

[0086] Furthermore, its stirring action is relatively gentle, making it suitable for materials that are sensitive to structural damage, such as those containing bioactive components. It can maintain the original properties of the materials as much as possible during the stirring process.

[0087] Preferably, the edges of the prismatic stirring blades can cut and tear the material during rotation. When the stirring blades come into contact with the material, the edges will break larger pieces of material into smaller particles. At the same time, the sides of the stirring blades will push the material in a circular motion within the container, causing the material to be continuously mixed.

[0088] Furthermore, the irregular prismatic shape disrupts the original laminar flow of the material, creating turbulence during mixing. Turbulence allows the material to mix thoroughly in all directions, improving the uniformity of the mixing.

[0089] For materials that are hard or lumpy, the cutting action of the edges can quickly break them up and improve mixing efficiency, making it especially suitable for processing materials containing solid particles.

[0090] The formation of turbulence allows for more thorough mixing of materials within the container, preventing uneven mixing in certain areas and ensuring the stability of product quality.

[0091] The prismatic structure is relatively stable and can withstand greater torque and impact, making it suitable for high-intensity mixing operations and extending the service life of the mixing blades.

[0092] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, in this embodiment, a connecting component 44 is provided between the stirring blade 43 and the stirring shaft 42 to enable a detachable connection between the two.

[0093] Preferably, detachable connection components typically come in several forms. Several common types are listed below, along with explanations of their working principles:

[0094] (1) Snap-fit ​​connection:

[0095] Snap-fit ​​connection components generally consist of a locking block on the stirring blade and a locking groove on the stirring shaft. When installing the stirring blade, the locking block on the stirring blade is aligned with the locking groove on the stirring shaft, and then a certain pressure is applied to make the locking block snap into the locking groove. The locking groove has a specific structure inside, such as elastic protrusions or limiting grooves, which can firmly fix the locking block in the locking groove and prevent the stirring blade from falling off during rotation. When disassembling, the locking block is separated from the locking groove by pressing or prying a specific unlocking part. The principle of this connection method is based on the cooperation and elastic deformation of the mechanical structure, and the interaction between the locking block and the locking groove is used to achieve connection and disassembly.

[0096] (2) Bolt and nut connection:

[0097] Corresponding mounting holes are provided on the stirring blade and the stirring shaft respectively. Bolts are passed through these mounting holes and then tightened with nuts. The threaded engagement between the bolts and nuts generates a preload force, which firmly fixes the stirring blade to the stirring shaft. During the stirring process, this preload force can ensure the relative position between the stirring blade and the stirring shaft is stable and transmit the torque required for stirring.

[0098] Disassembly is simple: just use a tool to loosen the nut and remove the bolt from the mounting hole to separate the agitator blades and shaft. Its working principle is based on the mechanical fastening effect of the threads.

[0099] (3) Key connection and lock nut mating

[0100] The stirring shaft is machined with keyways, and the inner hole of the stirring blade also has a corresponding keyway. A flat key is embedded in the two keyways to achieve circumferential fixation between the stirring shaft and the stirring blade, ensuring that they can rotate synchronously and transmit torque. At the same time, a lock nut is used at the end of the stirring shaft for axial fixation to prevent the stirring blade from moving in the axial direction.

[0101] During installation, first place the flat key into the keyway of the stirring shaft, then place the stirring blade onto the stirring shaft, aligning the keyway of the stirring blade with the flat key, and finally tighten the lock nut. During disassembly, first loosen the lock nut, then remove the stirring blade axially from the stirring shaft.

[0102] You can choose the appropriate design based on your actual needs.

[0103] Specifically, the agitator blades are subject to wear and corrosion from materials during long-term use, leading to a decline in their performance. When the agitator blades are damaged or severely worn, they can be easily and quickly removed from the agitator shaft for repair or replacement using a detachable connection assembly. This eliminates the need to disassemble and replace the entire agitator, significantly reducing maintenance time and costs.

[0104] Different mixing tasks may require mixing blades of different shapes, sizes, or materials. Detachable connections simplify blade replacement and allow for flexible adjustments to the mixing device configuration to meet specific needs, thus improving the equipment's versatility and adaptability.

[0105] Furthermore, transporting the mixing blades and mixing shaft separately during equipment transportation can reduce the overall size and weight of the equipment, lower transportation difficulty and cost, and also prevent damage caused by shaking or collision of the mixing blades during transportation.

[0106] At the installation site, the detachable design makes the installation process more convenient. The stirring shaft can be installed onto the main body of the equipment first, and then the stirring blades can be installed onto the stirring shaft through the connecting components, which reduces the difficulty and complexity of the installation.

[0107] Because the agitator blades and agitator shaft can be stored and managed separately, companies have greater flexibility in inventory management. They don't need to stock large quantities of complete agitator units to deal with blade damage; they only need to keep a certain number of blades. This reduces the capital and space tied up in inventory, lowering the company's inventory costs.

[0108] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the connecting component 44 in this embodiment includes a plurality of first connecting holes 441 provided on the stirring shaft 42, and the tail end of each stirring blade 43 is provided with a connecting section 432 that can be connected to the corresponding first connecting hole 441.

[0109] When installing the stirring blade 43 onto the stirring shaft 42, first align the connecting section 432 at the tail end of the stirring blade 43 with the corresponding first connecting hole 441 on the stirring shaft 42. Normally, there is a certain fit tolerance between the connecting section 432 and the first connecting hole 441 to ensure that the two can be tightly connected. The connecting section 432 can be inserted into the first connecting hole 441 by manually applying a certain external force or with the help of a simple tool. After insertion, the two may rely on interference fit, friction or further fixing measures (such as bolts, pins, etc. that may be used later) to ensure the stability of the connection, so that the stirring shaft 42 can transmit torque to the stirring blade 43 when rotating, causing the stirring blade 43 to rotate together and realize the stirring function.

[0110] When it is necessary to disassemble the stirring blade 43, if it is connected by friction or interference fit, an external force opposite to the installation direction needs to be applied to overcome the friction or interference between the connecting section 432 and the first connecting hole 441, and the connecting section 432 is pulled out of the first connecting hole 441. If additional fixing measures such as bolts or pins are used, these fixing parts need to be removed first before the pull-out operation is performed.

[0111] The design of this connecting component is relatively simple. It only requires a first connecting hole 441 on the stirring shaft 42 and a connecting section 432 at the tail end of the stirring blade 43. Compared with some complex connecting structures, it reduces the number of parts and the processing difficulty, and lowers the manufacturing cost. At the same time, the simple structure makes the installation and disassembly process easier to understand and operate, without the need for professional technicians and complicated tools.

[0112] In other embodiments, the arrangement of multiple first connecting holes 441 provides a degree of adjustability for the installation of the stirring blades 43. The stirring blades 43 can be installed in different positions of the first connecting holes 441 according to actual stirring requirements, thereby adjusting the distribution and angle of the stirring blades 43 on the stirring shaft 42 to achieve better stirring results. For example, when processing materials of different viscosities and densities, the uniformity and efficiency of stirring can be optimized by adjusting the installation position of the stirring blades 43.

[0113] Furthermore, due to the simple structure and few parts of the connecting assembly, inspection and maintenance are relatively easy during routine maintenance. If the connecting section 432 or the first connecting hole 441 experiences slight wear or damage, these components can be repaired or replaced individually without replacing the entire stirring shaft 42 or stirring blade 43, thus reducing maintenance costs.

[0114] like Figures 1 to 12As shown, the connecting component 44 in this embodiment also includes a second connecting hole 442 provided in the connecting section 432, a third connecting hole 443 provided in the stirring shaft 42, and a connector 444, wherein the connector 444 can pass through the third connecting hole 443 and connect to the second connecting hole 442.

[0115] First, insert the connecting section 432 at the tail end of the stirring blade 43 into the corresponding first connecting hole 441 on the stirring shaft 42. During the insertion process, it is necessary to ensure that the second connecting hole 442 on the connecting section 432 is aligned with the third connecting hole 443 on the stirring shaft 42.

[0116] After the second connecting hole 442 and the third connecting hole 443 are accurately aligned, the connector 444 is passed through the third connecting hole 443 and inserted into the second connecting hole 442. The connector 444 can be a bolt, pin, etc. If a bolt is used, it needs to be tightened with a nut. By tightening the nut, the connector 444 generates axial tension, tightly connecting the connecting section 432 of the stirring blade 43 to the stirring shaft 42, thereby achieving a reliable connection between the stirring shaft 42 and the stirring blade 43. When the stirring shaft 42 rotates, the connector 444 can effectively transmit torque, driving the stirring blade 43 to rotate together and complete the stirring operation.

[0117] To disassemble the agitator blade 43, if the connection is bolted, first loosen the nut using a tool (such as a wrench or screwdriver), then remove the bolt from the third connecting hole 443 and the second connecting hole 442. If the connection is pinned, a special tool can be used to pull the pin out of the hole.

[0118] After the connector 444 is removed, the connecting section 432 of the stirring blade 43 can be pulled out from the first connecting hole 441 of the stirring shaft 42, thereby separating the stirring blade 43 from the stirring shaft 42.

[0119] The connection between the connector 444 and the second connector 442 via the third connector 443 provides a more reliable connection strength than a simple interference fit or friction connection. During the mixing process, the mixing shaft 42 will be subjected to large torque and vibration. This connection method can effectively prevent the mixing blades 43 from loosening or falling off the mixing shaft 42, ensuring the stable operation of the mixing device and improving the safety and reliability of the equipment.

[0120] The second connecting hole 442 and the third connecting hole 443 provide precise positioning for the installation of the stirring blade 43. During installation, the connector 444 can only pass through smoothly when the two holes are accurately aligned, which ensures the accuracy of the installation position and angle of the stirring blade 43 on the stirring shaft 42. Precise positioning helps to ensure the consistency and stability of the stirring effect, making the stirring process more uniform and efficient.

[0121] Connector 444 is typically a standardized component, such as common bolts and pins, and has high versatility. In different mixing equipment or with different specifications of mixing shafts and blades, as long as the size and specifications of the connecting holes match, the same type of connector 444 can be used for connection.

[0122] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the third connecting hole 443 in this embodiment is a countersunk hole, and the head of the connector 444 can be hidden inside the countersunk hole.

[0123] During operation, the mixing equipment may be surrounded by other components or flowing materials. If the head of the connector 444 protrudes from the surface of the mixing shaft 42, it can easily interfere with surrounding components, such as scraping against the inner wall of the mixing tank or colliding with other auxiliary equipment. This can not only affect the normal operation of the mixing equipment but also potentially damage components. Concealing the head of the connector 444 within the countersunk hole effectively avoids such interference, improving the safety and stability of the equipment operation.

[0124] During mixing, the flow state of the materials is crucial to the mixing effect. Protruding connector heads can disrupt the normal flow of materials, creating unnecessary eddies or dead zones, affecting the uniformity of mixing. The countersunk design, however, ensures that the connector heads do not obstruct the material's flow path, allowing the material to flow more smoothly around the mixing shaft and blades, thus guaranteeing uniform and efficient mixing.

[0125] The connector head is concealed within the countersunk hole, resulting in a smoother surface for the agitator shaft and reducing the possibility of material residue. Without the obstruction of a protruding head, cleaning the agitator shaft is easier and more thorough, effectively preventing bacterial growth from material residue and ensuring hygiene and safety during production.

[0126] From an aesthetic perspective, the countersunk hole design makes the surface of the stirring shaft cleaner and more beautiful. This design can enhance the overall image of the equipment and meet users' needs for the aesthetics of the equipment.

[0127] Preferably, the microbial kitchen waste processor of this embodiment includes a housing 1, a drive structure 3 is provided inside the housing 1, and a gear transmission assembly 5 is provided between the drive structure 3 and the stirring mechanism 4 to enable the two to be connected by transmission.

[0128] When the microbial food waste processor is started, the drive structure 3 begins to operate, generating power. The power output from the drive structure 3 is transmitted to the stirring mechanism 4 through the gear transmission assembly 5. The driving gear in the gear transmission assembly 5 is connected to the output shaft of the drive structure 3 and rotates as the output shaft of the drive structure 3 rotates. The driving gear and the driven gear mesh with each other, and the rotation of the driving gear drives the driven gear to rotate. The driven gear is then connected to the stirring mechanism 4, thereby transmitting power to the stirring mechanism 4, causing the stirring mechanism 4 to start rotating inside the stirring tank 2. During the rotation of the stirring mechanism 4, the food waste and microorganisms inside the stirring tank 2 are stirred, so that the food waste and microorganisms are fully mixed, accelerating the decomposition process of the food waste by the microorganisms.

[0129] Furthermore, compared to belt or chain drives, the gear transmission assembly 5 transmits power through the meshing of gear teeth. This meshing method is smoother, and the smoothness of gear transmission results in less noise during operation, creating a relatively quiet environment for use.

[0130] Furthermore, the gears in the gear transmission assembly 5 are typically made of high-strength materials and undergo special processing and heat treatment, resulting in high hardness and strength. They can withstand large torque and loads. When the mixing mechanism 4 mixes kitchen waste, even if it encounters some hard kitchen waste or large resistance, the gear transmission can stably transmit power without easily causing damage or deformation, thus ensuring the normal operation of the entire processor.

[0131] Furthermore, the gear transmission has an accurate transmission ratio, which can precisely transmit the power of the drive structure 3 to the stirring mechanism 4, ensuring that the stirring mechanism 4 rotates at a predetermined speed and in a predetermined manner. This high-precision transmission can make the stirring more uniform and efficient, improve the decomposition effect of microorganisms on kitchen waste, and at the same time, the precise transmission also reduces the additional wear and impact between components caused by transmission errors, further improving the structural strength and service life of the entire transmission system.

[0132] Furthermore, the gear transmission assembly 5 has a relatively simple structure and does not suffer from the problems of belt aging and loosening in belt drives or chain skipping and chain slippage in chain drives. It has high working stability and does not require frequent adjustments and replacements like belts and chains during long-term use, thus reducing equipment maintenance costs and downtime, and improving the overall reliability and operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0133] like Figures 1 to 12As shown, the gear transmission assembly 5 in this embodiment includes a drive wheel 51 and a multi-stage gear set 52. The drive wheel 51 is located at the output end of the drive structure 3. The stirring mechanism 4 is provided with a transmission end 41 extending out of one side of the stirring tank 2. The multi-stage gear set 52 is connected to the drive wheel 51 and the transmission end 41 respectively.

[0134] When the drive structure 3 is started, its output end begins to rotate, driving the drive wheel 51 installed at the output end to rotate. The rotation of the drive wheel 51 will transmit power to the multi-stage gear set 52 connected to it. The multi-stage gear set 52 consists of multiple meshing gears. The rotation of the drive wheel 51 drives the first gear in the multi-stage gear set 52 that meshes directly with it to rotate. Then, through the sequential meshing transmission between the gears, the power is transmitted step by step within the multi-stage gear set 52. Finally, the multi-stage gear set 52 transmits power to the gear connected to the transmission end 41 of the stirring mechanism 4, thereby driving the transmission end 41 to rotate, and thus causing the stirring mechanism 4 to start working in the stirring bucket 2 to stir the kitchen waste and microorganisms in the bucket.

[0135] Preferably, each stage of the multi-stage gear set 52 has a precise transmission ratio, which allows for precise control of the speed change from the drive wheel 51 to the transmission end 41. The multi-stage gear transmission can more directly and accurately transmit the power of the drive structure 3 to the stirring mechanism 4 at a preset speed, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the stirring process.

[0136] Furthermore, in multi-stage gear transmission, when the speed of the drive wheel 51 is high but the torque is low, a large torque output can be obtained at the transmission end 41 through the reduction transmission of the multi-stage gear set 52. When processing kitchen waste, the stirring mechanism 4 may encounter large resistance, especially when there is a lot or hard waste in the stirring bucket 2. The multi-stage gear set 52 can reasonably distribute and amplify the power output by the drive structure 3, so that the stirring mechanism 4 can obtain sufficient torque to overcome these resistances and ensure the smooth progress of the stirring work.

[0137] Furthermore, gear transmission itself has high transmission efficiency. Although the multi-stage gear set 52 increases the number of gears and transmission stages, due to the characteristics of its meshing method, the energy loss during torque transmission is relatively small. Multi-stage gear transmission can more effectively transmit the power of the drive structure 3 to the stirring mechanism 4, reduce energy waste, and improve the energy utilization efficiency of the entire processor.

[0138] Furthermore, the multi-stage gear set 52 can be rationally laid out and designed according to the internal spatial structure of the housing 1. By rationally arranging and combining multiple gears, complex transmission functions can be achieved within a limited space. Compared with some other transmission methods, such as long shaft transmission, multi-stage gear transmission can more flexibly change the transmission direction and path, avoiding the difficulty in designing the transmission structure due to space limitations, making the entire structure of the microbial kitchen waste processor more compact and saving installation space.

[0139] Furthermore, the multi-stage gear set 52 can be designed and manufactured as an independent module. In the production and maintenance of the microbial kitchen waste processor, the modular design makes the installation, disassembly and replacement of the gear transmission component 5 more convenient. If a gear is damaged or needs to be adjusted, the multi-stage gear set 52 module can be operated directly without large-scale disassembly and repair of the entire equipment, thus improving the maintainability and production efficiency of the equipment.

[0140] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the multi-stage gear set 52 of this embodiment includes a first gear 521 and a second gear 522 that meshes with it. The first gear 521 and the second gear 522 are connected sequentially from top to bottom along the vertical direction of the housing 1. The first gear 521 is connected to the transmission end 41, and the second gear 522 meshes with the drive wheel 51.

[0141] When the drive structure 3 is started, its output end drives the drive wheel 51 to rotate. Since the second gear 522 meshes with the drive wheel 51, the rotation of the drive wheel 51 will drive the second gear 522 to rotate through the interaction force between the teeth. After the second gear 522 rotates, it will transmit power to the first gear 521 because it meshes with the first gear 521, causing the first gear 521 to start rotating as well. The first gear 521 is connected to the transmission end 41 of the stirring mechanism 4. The rotation of the first gear 521 will drive the transmission end 41 to rotate, thereby causing the stirring mechanism 4 to perform stirring work in the stirring tank 2, realizing the mixing and stirring of kitchen waste and microorganisms.

[0142] Preferably, the first gear 521 and the second gear 522 are connected sequentially from top to bottom along the vertical direction of the housing 1. This layout makes full use of the vertical space of the housing 1. In microbial kitchen waste processors, space is usually limited. Using a vertical gear arrangement can avoid occupying too much space in the horizontal direction, making the overall structure of the equipment more compact. This is especially important for equipment that needs to be installed in relatively small areas such as kitchens, and can better adapt to different installation environments.

[0143] Furthermore, the vertically arranged gear set is conducive to the integrated design with other components. For example, the transmission end 41 of the stirring mechanism 4 can be easily connected to the first gear 521 located above, while the drive structure 3 can be reasonably arranged below the stirring tank 2 so that the drive wheel 51 meshes with the second gear 522. This layout makes the connection between the various components smoother, reduces the complexity of the transmission path, and improves the integration and stability of the entire equipment.

[0144] Furthermore, gear transmission itself has the characteristics of high transmission accuracy and good stability. The meshing transmission between the first gear 521 and the second gear 522 can accurately transmit the power of the drive wheel 51 to the transmission end 41, ensuring the stable operation of the mixing mechanism 4. During the mixing of kitchen waste, stable transmission can ensure the uniformity of mixing speed, so that microorganisms and kitchen waste are fully mixed, improving the efficiency and effect of waste decomposition.

[0145] Furthermore, the first gear 521 and the second gear 522, connected vertically in sequence, are relatively independent and their positions are clearly defined, facilitating inspection and maintenance by staff. During routine maintenance, the wear and lubrication status of the gears can be easily observed. If a gear malfunctions, it can be relatively easily disassembled and replaced, reducing the difficulty and time cost of maintenance and improving the maintainability of the equipment.

[0146] Furthermore, for gear transmissions, good lubrication is key to ensuring normal operation and extending service life. In this vertical layout, it is easier to manage gear lubrication. For example, appropriate lubrication methods (such as drip lubrication, oil bath lubrication, etc.) can be used to allow the lubricating oil to better cover the gear surface. Moreover, due to gravity, the flow and distribution of lubricating oil in the vertical direction is more conducive to gear lubrication, reducing gear wear and the probability of failure.

[0147] In other embodiments, by reasonably selecting the gear ratio of the first gear 521 and the second gear 522, the transmission ratio can be easily adjusted. Different kitchen waste treatment needs may require different stirring speeds. By changing the gear ratio, the speed between the drive wheel 51 and the transmission end 41 can be varied to adapt to different working scenarios. For example, when rapid stirring is required, a suitable gear ratio can be selected to increase the rotational speed of the transmission end 41; while when processing harder waste requires greater torque, the gears can be replaced, and the gear ratio can be adjusted to reduce the rotational speed and increase the torque. A suitable design can be selected according to actual needs.

[0148] like Figures 1 to 12As shown, in this embodiment, the centers of the first gear 521, the second gear 522, and the drive wheel 51 are on the same straight line, and their rotation is around the same axis. The power transmission is carried out sequentially along this straight line, ensuring the continuity and stability of the transmission.

[0149] When the centers of the three gears are on the same straight line, the power transmission path is more direct. During the transmission process, the force transmission direction between the gears is relatively unidirectional, reducing unnecessary lateral force and torque loss. This design avoids energy loss caused by force dispersion and change of direction, enabling the energy output by the drive structure to be transmitted to the stirring mechanism more efficiently, improving the efficiency of the entire transmission system and reducing energy consumption.

[0150] Furthermore, linearly arranged gear transmissions can more precisely control the transmission of speed and torque because each gear rotates around the same axis, their relative positional relationship is more stable, and the meshing between the teeth is more accurate, reducing the accumulation of errors during transmission. This is very important for kitchen waste treatment equipment that requires precise control of mixing speed and force, ensuring the consistency and stability of mixing effect and improving the mixing quality of kitchen waste and microorganisms.

[0151] Furthermore, when the centers of the three gears are on the same straight line, the force on the transmission system is more even and balanced. During operation, there will be no large vibrations or noises due to the eccentricity or irregular movement of the gears. Smooth operation can not only extend the service life of gears and other transmission components, but also create a quiet environment for the equipment, reduce interference with the surrounding environment, and improve the user experience.

[0152] Furthermore, the linear gear arrangement makes the entire transmission system more compact and robust. The gears are more tightly connected and provide stronger mutual support, better able to withstand various forces and torques during transmission. This helps improve the overall reliability of the equipment, reduces the risk of component loosening or damage due to vibration, impact, and other factors, lowers the equipment failure rate, and ensures long-term stable operation.

[0153] Furthermore, since the centers of the three gears are on the same straight line, it is easier to position and align them during equipment installation. Installers can more easily install each gear in the correct position, reducing debugging time and difficulty during installation and improving installation efficiency. At the same time, the straight layout also facilitates connection and assembly with other components, making the entire equipment installation process smoother.

[0154] like Figures 1 to 12As shown, the gear transmission assembly 5 in this embodiment also includes a structural support plate 53 located on one side of the mixing tank 2. The structural support plate 53 is provided with a support housing 54 capable of assembling the second gear 522. The upper and lower sides of the support housing 54 are respectively provided with a second opening 541 and a first opening 542 for the second gear 522 to be exposed.

[0155] Specifically, the structural support plate 53 is installed on one side of the mixing tank 2, providing a stable support base for the entire gear transmission assembly 5. The support housing 54 is fixed on the structural support plate 53, and the second gear 522 is assembled inside the support housing 54. When the drive wheel 51 rotates, it transmits power to the second gear 522 by meshing with it. Since the support housing 54 supports and positions the second gear 522, it ensures that the second gear 522 can rotate stably around its own axis, thereby accurately transmitting power to the first gear 521 or other components that cooperate with it.

[0156] Furthermore, the second opening 541 on the upper side and the first opening 542 on the lower side of the support housing 54 expose some teeth of the second gear 522. The second opening 541 on the upper side facilitates the meshing of the driving wheel 51 with the second gear 522. The teeth of the driving wheel 51 can interact with the teeth of the second gear 522 through this opening to realize the transmission of power. The first opening 542 on the lower side facilitates the meshing of the second gear 522 with the first gear 521 or other driven parts to further transmit power and complete the entire transmission process.

[0157] Specifically, the structural support plate 53 provides additional support for the gear transmission assembly 5, making the entire transmission system more stable. The support housing 54 encloses and supports the second gear 522, reducing the shaking and offset of the second gear 522 during operation, ensuring accurate meshing between gears, and improving the stability and reliability of the transmission. This is very important for equipment that needs to operate stably for a long time, as it can reduce failures and damage caused by gear vibration or misalignment.

[0158] Furthermore, integrating the support housing 54 onto the structural support plate 53 makes the structure of the gear transmission assembly 5 more compact. This design can save space in the equipment, making it particularly suitable for applications with limited space. At the same time, the compact structure also facilitates the overall layout and installation of the equipment, improving its integration and aesthetics.

[0159] Furthermore, the design of the second opening 541 and the first opening 542 makes the meshing between the driving wheel 51, the second gear 522 and other driven gears smoother. The openings provide enough space for the gear teeth to fully contact and interact, reducing meshing problems caused by space constraints. This helps to improve transmission efficiency, reduce energy loss, and ensure that power can be efficiently transmitted from the driving wheel to the driven wheel.

[0160] Furthermore, the opening allows maintenance personnel to easily observe the working status and wear of the second gear 522. When it is necessary to adjust the gear meshing clearance or replace the gear, the operation can also be carried out through the opening without disassembling the entire support housing 54, which greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of maintenance. This can reduce equipment downtime and lower maintenance costs.

[0161] Furthermore, the second opening 541 and the first opening 542 facilitate gear lubrication. Lubricating oil or grease can be added to the meshing parts of the gears through the openings to ensure that the gears are well lubricated during operation, reduce wear and frictional resistance, and extend the service life of the gears.

[0162] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the support housing 54 of this embodiment includes a first housing 543 disposed on the structural support plate 53 and a second housing 544 detachably connected to the first housing 543. The first housing 543 is provided with a first bearing member 545, and the second housing 544 is provided with a second bearing member 546. The second gear 522 is located between the first bearing member 545 and the second bearing member 546.

[0163] Specifically, the first housing 543 is fixed on the structural support plate 53, providing an installation base for the entire support housing 54. The second gear 522 is installed between the first bearing component 545 and the second bearing component 546. The first bearing component 545 and the second bearing component 546 respectively support the two ends of the second gear 522, enabling the second gear 522 to rotate stably around its own axis. When the driving wheel drives the second gear 522 to rotate, the bearing components can reduce the friction during the rotation process and ensure the smoothness of power transmission.

[0164] Specifically, the first housing 543 and the second housing 544 are detachably connected. When installing the second gear 522, the second gear 522 can be placed on the first bearing component 545 first, and then the second housing 544 can be connected to the first housing 543 so that the second gear 522 is accurately positioned between the first bearing component 545 and the second bearing component 546. When it is necessary to repair, replace or inspect the second gear 522, the second housing 544 can be easily disassembled and the second gear 522 can be taken out for the corresponding operation.

[0165] Furthermore, the detachable design makes the installation of the second gear 522 more convenient. This split structure allows for more flexible adjustment of the position and angle of the second gear 522 during installation, ensuring that it is accurately installed on the bearing component and improving the accuracy and efficiency of installation.

[0166] Furthermore, when the second gear 522 malfunctions or requires regular maintenance, the second gear 522 can be directly accessed simply by disassembling the second housing 544, without disassembling the entire support housing 54 or other related components. This greatly shortens maintenance time, reduces maintenance difficulty, minimizes equipment downtime, and improves production efficiency. At the same time, it also facilitates the inspection and replacement of bearing components, ensuring the normal operation of the gear transmission system.

[0167] Furthermore, the first bearing component 545 and the second bearing component 546 support the two ends of the second gear 522 respectively, which can effectively reduce the radial runout and axial movement of the second gear 522 during rotation, improve the stability and reliability of gear transmission, help ensure accurate meshing between gears, reduce noise and vibration during transmission, and extend the service life of gears and other related components.

[0168] Furthermore, the detachable support housing 54 facilitates lubrication and heat dissipation of the internal second gear 522 and bearing components. During installation and maintenance, lubricating oil can be easily added or replaced to ensure proper lubrication of the bearings and gears. Simultaneously, the interior of the housing can be cleaned to prevent the accumulation of impurities from affecting heat dissipation and ensure that the gear transmission system operates at a suitable temperature.

[0169] Furthermore, if the second gear 522 or bearing components are damaged, only the corresponding parts need to be replaced, without replacing the entire support housing 54. This detachable design reduces maintenance costs and equipment operating costs. In addition, during the production process, the split housing structure can use different processing techniques and materials, and can be optimized according to actual needs, further reducing production costs.

[0170] Furthermore, the detachable connection between the first housing 543 and the second housing 544 gives the support housing 54 a certain degree of versatility. Different specifications of the second gear 522 or the type of bearing components can be replaced according to different application scenarios and needs to adapt to different transmission requirements. This improves the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment and reduces the cost of equipment upgrades.

[0171] Preferably, the first bearing component 545 includes a fixing groove in the first housing 543 and a bearing disposed in the fixing groove, and the second bearing component 546 includes a fixing groove in the second housing 544 and a bearing disposed in the fixing groove. The second gear 522 has rotating shafts corresponding to the bearings on both sides. This design can ensure that the second gear 522 rotates normally while making the structure of the supporting housing 54 more compact, which is beneficial to reducing the size of the processor.

[0172] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the inner and outer sides of the support shell 54 in this embodiment are provided with reinforcing ribs 547.

[0173] During equipment operation, the support shell 54 is subjected to the force generated by the rotation of the internal second gear 522, as well as various external loads. These forces will cause stress concentration in the support shell 54. The reinforcing rib 547 can disperse these concentrated stresses to a larger area. When the stress is transmitted to the reinforcing rib, the reinforcing rib will transmit the stress along its own structure to other parts of the support shell, avoiding excessive stress concentration in local areas, thereby ensuring the stability of the support shell structure.

[0174] Preferably, the reinforcing rib member 547 is equivalent to adding an additional support structure to the support shell 54. From a mechanical point of view, it improves the bending and torsional resistance of the support shell. When the support shell is subjected to bending or torsional forces, the reinforcing rib can resist these deformation forces, so that the support shell can maintain its original shape and size, and ensure that it can properly support components such as the second gear 522.

[0175] By incorporating reinforcing ribs 547, the overall strength of the support housing 54 is significantly enhanced. This allows the support housing to withstand greater forces without deformation or damage, ensuring the normal operation of internal components such as the second gear 522. When the gear rotates at high speed or bears a large load, the stable structure of the support housing can prevent problems such as poor gear meshing caused by housing deformation, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the entire transmission system.

[0176] Furthermore, the presence of reinforcing ribs effectively reduces the degree of deformation of the supporting shell under stress. Whether due to internal pressure or external impact, the reinforcing ribs can limit the deformation range of the shell.

[0177] Furthermore, adding reinforcing ribs can significantly improve the performance of the supporting shell without significantly increasing the amount of material used, thereby reducing material costs.

[0178] Furthermore, the reinforcing ribs can be integrally formed with the shell during the manufacturing process of the supporting shell, such as through casting or injection molding. This integrated manufacturing method not only improves production efficiency but also reduces subsequent assembly processes and lowers manufacturing costs.

[0179] Preferably, the reinforcing rib member 547 includes a plurality of reinforcing rib protrusions spaced apart circumferentially along the supporting shell 54. One end of each reinforcing rib protrusion extends to the central region of the supporting shell 54, and the other end extends to the side wall of the supporting shell 54. A suitable design can be selected according to actual needs.

[0180] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the mixing tank 2 of this embodiment is provided with a clearance hole 21 on one side for the transmission end 41 to pass through. A bearing assembly 22 is provided on the outside of the clearance hole 21. The transmission end 41 passes through the clearance hole 21 and the bearing assembly 22 and is connected to the first gear 521.

[0181] Specifically, the bearing assembly is installed on the outside of the clearance hole. Its main function is to support the transmission end and reduce friction during transmission. When the transmission end rotates, the rolling elements (such as balls or rollers) inside the bearing assembly roll between the inner and outer rings, converting the sliding friction between the transmission end and the mixing tank into rolling friction, which greatly reduces the friction force. This allows the transmission end to rotate more smoothly, reduces energy loss, and ensures the high efficiency of power transmission. At the same time, the bearing assembly can also withstand the radial and axial forces generated by the transmission end during rotation, ensuring the stable operation of the transmission end.

[0182] Furthermore, the clearance hole design allows the transmission end to pass smoothly through the wall of the mixing tank, enabling power transmission from the outside to the inside. This design avoids complex external transmission structures, making the entire mixing equipment more compact and reducing the space occupied, which is beneficial for installation and layout in limited spaces. The bearing assembly is installed on the outside of the clearance hole, and its connection with the transmission end and the mixing tank is tight, further optimizing the overall structure and making the cooperation between various components more coordinated.

[0183] Furthermore, the bearing assembly transforms sliding friction into rolling friction, significantly reducing friction during transmission. Reduced friction means reduced energy loss, allowing the energy output from the power source to be transferred to the stirring components more effectively, thus improving the transmission efficiency of the entire stirring system. This not only saves energy but also enables the stirring components to achieve a more stable rotational speed, thereby improving the stirring effect.

[0184] Furthermore, the bearing assembly can provide good support for the transmission end, withstand various forces generated during transmission, and ensure stable rotation of the transmission end. This helps to reduce vibration and sway of the transmission end, reduce the risk of damage to the equipment caused by vibration and sway, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0185] Furthermore, the design of connecting the transmission end to the first gear via a clearance hole and bearing assembly simplifies the installation process. During installation, the bearing assembly can be installed on the outside of the clearance hole first, and then the transmission end can be passed through the bearing assembly and connected to the first gear. This modular installation method facilitates operation.

[0186] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the bearing assembly 22 in this embodiment includes a first connecting housing 221 disposed on one side of the mixing tank 2, a second connecting housing 222 detachably connected to the first connecting housing 221, and a third bearing 223 disposed between the first connecting housing 221 and the second connecting housing 222. The third bearing 223 is sleeved on the outside of the transmission end 41.

[0187] Specifically, during the operation of the mixing equipment, the power source outputs rotational power through the transmission end 41. The third bearing 223 is sleeved on the outside of the transmission end 41, playing a key supporting role. When the transmission end 41 rotates, the inner ring of the third bearing 223 rotates with the transmission end 41, while the outer ring remains relatively stationary. The rotational motion of the transmission end 41 is stably transmitted through the internal rolling elements (such as balls or rollers) rolling between the inner and outer rings. At the same time, it bears the radial force and possible axial force generated during the rotation of the transmission end 41, ensuring that the transmission end 41 can rotate smoothly and stably, thereby reliably transmitting power to subsequent components such as the first gear 521, driving the mixing components in the mixing tank 2 to perform mixing operations.

[0188] Preferably, the first connecting housing 221 is installed on one side of the mixing tank 2, providing an installation foundation and fixed position for the entire bearing assembly 22. The second connecting housing 222 is detachably connected to the first connecting housing 221. This detachable design facilitates the installation and removal of the third bearing 223. During installation, the third bearing 223 can be placed in the corresponding position of the first connecting housing 221, and then the second connecting housing 222 is connected to the first connecting housing 221 to fix the third bearing 223 between them. When maintenance or replacement of the third bearing 223 is required, the second connecting housing 222 can be disassembled to easily remove the third bearing 223 for processing. This simplifies the installation process, allowing each component to be processed and pre-treated separately before on-site assembly, reducing installation difficulty and time. For example, on-site, workers can first fix the first connecting housing 221 to the mixing tank 2, then accurately place the third bearing 223 inside the first connecting housing 221, and finally install the second connecting housing 222. Complete the installation of the entire bearing assembly 22.

[0189] Furthermore, by firmly fixing the third bearing 223 to one side of the mixing tank 2 through the first connecting housing 221 and the second connecting housing 222, the coaxiality of the third bearing 223 and the transmission end 41 can be better guaranteed, making the transmission end 41 more stable during rotation. The stable transmission end 41 helps to reduce the vibration and noise of the equipment, improve the operational stability and reliability of the entire mixing equipment, and ensure the consistency and stability of the mixing effect.

[0190] Furthermore, this detachable bearing assembly 22 design offers a degree of scalability and versatility. If a third bearing 223 of different specifications or performance is required during subsequent equipment upgrades or modifications, the first connecting housing 221 and the second connecting housing 222 can be appropriately adjusted or replaced according to the dimensions of the new bearing to upgrade the bearing assembly 22 without requiring a large-scale overhaul of the entire mixing equipment, thus reducing the cost and difficulty of equipment upgrades. Simultaneously, this design facilitates promotion and application across different models of mixing equipment, improving the versatility of equipment components.

[0191] Preferably, the second connecting housing 222 is provided with a groove for positioning and assembling the third bearing 223, which ensures the accurate assembly of the third bearing 223 and makes the structure of the bearing assembly 22 more compact.

[0192] like Figures 1 to 12As shown, the bearing assembly 22 in this embodiment also includes a sealing member 224 disposed in the first connecting housing 221, the sealing member 224 being located between the third bearing 223 and the clearance hole 21.

Any technical extensions or re-creations made based on this utility model are protected by this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the claims.
