[0029] Installation grooves 12 are provided on both the fixed block 1 and the movable block 2. The two installation grooves 12 are connected by a retaining ring 13. Limiting blocks are provided at both ends of the retaining ring 13 to prevent the retaining ring 13 from detaching from the installation groove 12. A sealing ring is provided between the retaining ring 13 and the installation groove 12.

[0030] The retaining ring 13 can prevent water or garbage from overflowing when the movable block 2 is switched online. The sealing ring can play a role of sliding seal when the movable block and the fixed block move relative to each other, enabling the converter to be switched without stopping the machine.

[0031] The processor body includes a housing 5, a tool rest 51, a cutter head 52, and a driving component for driving the cutter head 52 to rotate.

[0040] The free ends of the guide vanes 46 gradually turn downward. When rotating, it can generate a downward turbulence in the housing 5, ensuring that the kitchen waste is in a suspended propulsion state and concentrated on the grinding assembly for crushing. At the same time, when the kitchen waste falls or is cut by the grinding assembly, it can separate and turn over the waste, improving the crushing effect. At the same time, the blowing can also quickly blow the water in the crushing chamber downward, accelerating the water flow rate and flushing the sewer pipe 61 to avoid blockage of the sewer pipe 61, ensuring a good working environment for the processor.
