Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food waste treatment technology, and in particular to an in-situ food waste treatment device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Food waste refers to the general term for catering waste and kitchen waste, which is an important component of organic waste in urban solid waste.

[0003] Food waste generally consists of scraps, leftovers, expired food, and other waste generated during the processing and consumption of food in restaurants, hotels, canteens of enterprises and institutions, food processing plants, and households.

[0004] Food waste is rich in components and has a high water content. Leachate from it seeps into the ground and flows into surface runoff, polluting water sources used by residents. Food waste is extremely perishable, especially in high-temperature environments. Accumulated and rotting food waste produces a foul odor, causing serious environmental pollution. Food waste mainly consists of protein, starch, and fat, and is rich in various trace elements, making it a highly nutritious residue. It is a breeding ground for microorganisms, attracting flies and spreading diseases. If not treated promptly or properly, it not only causes air and water pollution but also seriously disrupts people's normal lives, posing a significant health hazard.

[0005] Food waste, a major component of urban waste, is primarily concentrated in residential areas, restaurants, and canteens of various enterprises and institutions. While food waste treatment technologies are rapidly evolving both domestically and internationally, regardless of the method used, food waste must be collected and transported to a fixed location before further processing for resource recovery. This not only increases the difficulty of collection and transportation costs but also increases the risk of leakage and environmental pollution during transport, and occupies a significant amount of land.

[0006] Existing on-site food waste treatment devices include several mechanisms for crushing, filtering and washing, and then compact the treated food waste for further fermentation and other processes.

[0007] The above-mentioned method of treating kitchen waste is too crude, resulting in large particles of kitchen waste that do not meet the requirements for composting. The method is also too simplistic and cannot be tailored to the required degree of crushing of the kitchen waste raw materials.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an improved device and method to address the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The embodiments of the present invention bring the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides an in-situ treatment device for kitchen waste, which includes a machine shell, a crushing mechanism, a conveying mechanism, a stirring and cutting mechanism, a centrifugal mechanism, a crushing bin, a filter screen, a water-oil separation mechanism, a drying mechanism, a granulation mechanism, a control mechanism, a solid phase waste collection bin, and a liquid phase waste collection bin.

[0032] The crushing mechanism is located on the top of the machine casing; the control mechanism is signal-connected to the crushing mechanism, controlling the crushing mechanism to crush the food waste; the conveying mechanism is signal-connected to the control mechanism, and is located between the crushing mechanism and the centrifugal mechanism, used to convey the crushed food waste to the centrifugal mechanism; the centrifugal mechanism includes a first drive motor, a first transmission shaft, and a centrifugal drum, the first drive motor drives the centrifugal drum to rotate along the axis of the centrifugal drum through the first transmission shaft; the wall of the centrifugal drum has a passageway for food waste; the stirring and cutting mechanism includes a second drive motor, a second transmission shaft, and cutting tools; the first transmission shaft and the second transmission shaft are coaxially arranged, and the cutting tools are located inside the centrifugal drum. Two drive motors drive the cutting blades to rotate along the axis of the second drive shaft inside the centrifuge cylinder. A pulverizing hopper is fitted outside the centrifugal mechanism and the mixing and cutting mechanism to collect kitchen waste that passes through the accessible passageway. A filter screen is located at the bottom of the pulverizing hopper to receive kitchen waste falling from it and convey it to the solid waste collection hopper. The filter screen has a mesh to separate the kitchen waste into solid and liquid phases. The solid waste collection hopper is located between the filter screen and the drying mechanism to hold the solid phase kitchen waste. The liquid waste collection hopper is located below the filter screen to collect the liquid phase kitchen waste. The drying mechanism is located between the solid waste collection hopper and the centrifugal mechanism. Between the granulation unit, a dryer is used for solid-phase kitchen waste; a water-oil separation unit is installed in the liquid-phase waste collection chamber to separate water and oil from the liquid-phase kitchen waste; the centrifuge cylinder includes an inner cylinder, an outer cylinder, and an adjustment assembly, with the inner and outer cylinders concentrically arranged and closely connected; a first drive motor is connected to the inner and outer cylinders respectively, used to drive the inner and outer cylinders to rotate along the concentric axis of the inner and outer cylinders; the inner cylinder has a first discharge hole, and a first cutting blade is provided at the edge of the first discharge hole, the first cutting blade protruding towards the inner side of the inner cylinder, and the blade tip of the first cutting blade facing the rotation direction of the centrifuge cylinder; a second discharge hole is provided on the outer cylinder at a position corresponding to the first discharge hole; a second cutting blade is provided at the edge of the second discharge hole, the first... The two cutting blades protrude towards the inner side of the outer cylinder, with the blade tip facing the direction of centrifuge cylinder rotation. The second cutting blade is inserted into the first discharge hole. A passageway for food waste is formed in the overlapping portion of the first and second discharge holes. An adjusting component is connected to both the inner and outer cylinders to change the size of the passageway and the position of the second cutting blade relative to the first cutting blade by adjusting the relative rotation angle between the inner and outer cylinders. When the adjusting component adjusts the relative rotation angle between the inner and outer cylinders, the first discharge hole moves relative to the second discharge hole, the passageway for food waste changes, and the second cutting blade moves within the first discharge hole, changing the relative position of the first and second cutting blades.

[0033] The in-situ food waste treatment device provided by this invention requires the operator to first pour the food waste raw material into the crushing mechanism. The crushing mechanism crushes and pulverizes the food waste raw material, and then conveys it to the centrifugal mechanism via the conveying mechanism. The control mechanism controls the operation of the centrifugal mechanism, and the centrifugal drum of the centrifugal mechanism rotates around its own axis. The control mechanism also controls the stirring and cutting mechanism to rotate in the opposite direction to the rotation direction of the centrifugal drum along its own axis. At this time, the food waste located in the centrifugal drum is subjected to the centrifugal force of the centrifugal mechanism, the support force of the centrifugal drum wall, the friction force of the centrifugal drum wall, and possibly the shearing force of the cutting blades. Under the action of centrifugal force, the water and some small particles in the food waste enter the crushing hopper through the food waste passage on the centrifugal drum. Under the support force and friction force of the centrifugal drum wall, the food waste generates relative movement or compression with the inner drum. Under the action of the first cutting blade on the inner drum or the second cutting blade on the outer drum, the food waste is cut into more small particles, which enter the crushing hopper through the food waste passage.

[0034] Similarly, under the shearing force of the cutting blades, food waste will be cut into more small particles, which will then enter the crushing hopper through the food waste passage.

[0035] As can be seen from this solution, this solution utilizes a rotating cutting tool inside a closed separation cylinder that rotates in the opposite direction to the cylinder's rotation. This tool creates relative motion with the food waste moving with the cylinder, resulting in a faster relative speed, which is beneficial for quickly and powerfully cutting the food waste.

[0036] In addition, this solution fully considers the centrifugal force, friction force and support force on the food waste, and uses the first and second cutting blades on the separation cylinder to finely cut the food waste into smaller particles, which are easier to compost later.

[0037] Furthermore, the in-situ food waste treatment device provided by this invention can adjust the relative position of the inner and outer cylinders by adjusting the components, thereby adjusting the position of the first discharge hole of the inner cylinder relative to the second discharge hole of the outer cylinder. This allows for adjustment of the size of the passageway for food waste formed in the overlapping portion of the first and second discharge holes. In this way, the filtration accuracy of food waste within the centrifuge drum can be precisely controlled.

[0038] Food waste particles, oil, and moisture enter the crushing hopper via a centrifugal and agitating cutting mechanism. Under gravity, they fall onto a filter screen, while the moisture and oil drip down into a liquid waste collection hopper located below the filter screen for oil-liquid separation. The food waste particles, after passing through the filter screen, enter the solid waste collection hopper for storage.

[0039] The drying unit connected to the solid waste collection bin dries the solid kitchen waste. After drying, the kitchen waste enters the granulation unit for granulation to produce granular raw materials that can be used to make fertilizer.

[0040] The in-situ food waste treatment device provided by this invention can achieve precise control over the treatment of food waste. Its innovation lies in its ability to operate under multiple conditions. For example, when the adjustment component is used to minimize the relative rotation angle between the outer and inner cylinders, such as when the second and first cutting blades are stacked, the cutting ability for food waste in the separation cylinder is insufficient, and the passageway for food waste is at its maximum, making it more suitable for coarse and rapid processing of food waste. Alternatively, when the adjustment component is used to adjust the relative rotation angle between the outer and inner cylinders to an intermediate value between the maximum and minimum angles, the second and first cutting blades separate, enhancing the cutting ability for food waste in the separation cylinder, and narrowing the passageway for food waste, making it suitable for relatively refined processing of food waste. Finally, when the adjustment component is used to adjust the relative rotation angle between the outer and inner cylinders to a value between the maximum angles, the separation distance between the second and first cutting blades is at its maximum, enhancing the cutting ability for food waste in the separation cylinder, and the passageway for food waste is blocked by the outer shell of the outer cylinder, making it suitable for repeated refined processing of food waste.

[0041] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be described in the following description, and in part will become apparent from the description, or understood by practicing the present invention. The purposes and other advantages of the present invention are realized and obtained by the structures particularly pointed out in the description, claims and drawings.

Detailed Implementation

[0052] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, the in-situ treatment device for kitchen waste disclosed in this embodiment of the invention will first be described in detail.

[0054] Example 1

[0055] This invention provides an in-situ treatment device for kitchen waste, see [link / reference]. Figure 1-3 The schematic diagram of the on-site treatment device for kitchen waste shown includes a machine shell 100, a crushing mechanism 200, a conveying mechanism 300, a stirring and cutting mechanism 500, a centrifugal mechanism 400, a crushing bin 600, a filter screen 700, a water-oil separation mechanism 800, a drying mechanism 900, a granulation mechanism 101, a control mechanism, a solid phase waste collection bin 102, and a liquid phase waste collection bin 103.

[0056] The outer shell 100 is made of food-grade stainless steel and has multiple interfaces, such as water inlet pipe and discharge pipe.

[0057] The crushing mechanism 200 is located at the top of the outer casing 100, specifically at the top inside the outer casing 100. In this invention, the crushing mechanism 200 has multiple cooperating crushing rollers. The relative rolling of the crushing rollers squeezes the kitchen waste, achieving the purpose of crushing. In some embodiments, the initial crushing of kitchen waste can also be achieved by setting multiple relatively moving blade groups.

[0058] In Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the control mechanism is communicatively connected to the crushing mechanism 200, the conveying mechanism 300, the stirring and cutting mechanism 500, the centrifugal mechanism 400, the crushing hopper 600, the water-oil separation mechanism 800, the drying mechanism 900, and the granulation mechanism 101. The control mechanism described in this invention has computing capabilities and can control the aforementioned components such as the crushing mechanism 200, the conveying mechanism 300, the stirring and cutting mechanism 500, the centrifugal mechanism 400, the crushing hopper 600, the water-oil separation mechanism 800, the drying mechanism 900, and the granulation mechanism 101 by outputting commands.

[0059] In this first embodiment, the control mechanism is signal-connected to the crushing mechanism 200, and the control mechanism controls the crushing mechanism 200 to crush the kitchen waste. Specifically, the control mechanism can adjust the on / off state of the crushing mechanism 200 and / or the crushing speed, etc.

[0060] The conveying mechanism 300 is connected to the control mechanism by signal. The conveying mechanism 300 is located between the crushing mechanism 200 and the centrifugal mechanism 400 and is used to convey the kitchen waste crushed by the crushing mechanism 200 to the centrifugal mechanism 400.

[0061] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 300 can be a conveyor belt or a conveying pipe, etc.

[0062] The centrifuge mechanism 400 includes a first drive motor 401, a first transmission shaft 402, and a centrifuge cylinder 403. The first drive motor 401 drives the centrifuge cylinder 403 to rotate along the axis of the centrifuge cylinder 403 through the first transmission shaft 402. The cylinder wall of the centrifuge cylinder 403 is provided with a passageway 404 for food waste.

[0063] The stirring and cutting mechanism 500 includes a second drive motor 501, a second transmission shaft 502, and a cutting tool 503.

[0064] In this first embodiment, both the first drive motor 401 and the second drive motor 501 can be stepper motors, servo motors, etc.

[0065] The first drive shaft 402 and the second drive shaft 502 are coaxially arranged. Specifically, the first drive shaft 402 can be set as a hollow shaft, and the second drive shaft 502 is inserted into the first drive shaft 402. The second drive shaft 502 and the first drive shaft 402 are connected by bearings, so that the first drive shaft 402 and the second drive shaft 502 are coaxially arranged and do not affect each other's movement.

[0066] The cutting tool 503 is disposed inside the centrifuge tube 403, and the second drive motor 501 drives the cutting tool 503 to rotate along the axis of the second drive shaft 502 inside the centrifuge tube 403 via the second drive shaft 502.

[0067] The length of the cutting tool 503 should be less than the radius of the centrifuge cylinder 403 on the horizontal plane where it is located, so as to avoid friction or rubbing between the cutting tool 503 and the inner wall of the centrifuge cylinder 403.

[0068] The cutting tool 503 rotates in the opposite direction to the centrifuge cylinder 403. The first drive shaft 402 and the second drive shaft 502 rotate in opposite directions, so the cutting tool 503 connected to the second drive shaft 502 rotates in the opposite direction to the centrifuge cylinder 403 connected to the first drive shaft 402.

[0069] The crushing hopper 600 is fitted outside the centrifugal mechanism 400 and the mixing and cutting mechanism 500, and is used to collect kitchen waste passing through the kitchen waste passage 404. In this embodiment, due to centrifugal force, the kitchen waste passing through the waste passage enters the crushing hopper 600 and falls onto the filter screen 700 located at the bottom of the crushing hopper 600 under the action of gravity.

[0070] The filter screen 700 is located at the bottom of the crushing hopper 600. It can receive the kitchen waste falling from the crushing hopper 600 and transfer the kitchen waste to the solid waste collection hopper 102.

[0071] The solid waste collection bin 102 is located between the filter screen 700 and the drying mechanism 900 and is used to hold solid kitchen waste.

[0072] The filter screen 700 has a screen for separating food waste into solid food waste and liquid food waste; the liquid food waste falls from the screen holes into the liquid waste collection chamber 103 located below.

[0073] The liquid phase waste collection bin 103 is located below the filter screen 700 and is used to collect liquid phase kitchen waste.

[0074] The drying unit 900 is located between the solid waste collection chamber 102 and the granulation unit 101. It is used to dry solid kitchen waste. Specifically, heated air is continuously blown onto the solid kitchen waste to achieve the drying process.

[0075] The water-oil separation mechanism 800 is installed inside the liquid phase waste collection chamber 103 to separate water and oil from liquid phase kitchen waste.

[0076] In this first embodiment, the centrifuge cylinder 403 includes an inner cylinder 405, an outer cylinder 406, and an adjustment component 407. The inner cylinder 405 and the outer cylinder 406 are concentrically arranged and closely connected to each other.

[0077] The first drive motor 401 is connected to the inner cylinder 405 and the outer cylinder 406 respectively, and is used to drive the inner cylinder 405 and the outer cylinder 406 to rotate along the concentric axis of the inner cylinder 405 and the outer cylinder 406; the outer cylinder 406 is sleeved on the outside of the inner cylinder 405 and fits snugly, and both the inner cylinder 405 and the outer cylinder 406 are made of antibacterial material.

[0078] The inner cylinder 405 is provided with a first discharge hole 409, and a first cutting blade 408 is provided at the edge of the first discharge hole 409. The first cutting blade 408 protrudes in the direction of the inner side of the inner cylinder 405, and the blade tip of the first cutting blade 408 faces the rotation direction of the centrifuge cylinder 403.

[0079] A second discharge hole 411 is provided on the outer cylinder 406 at a position corresponding to the first discharge hole 409; a second cutting blade 410 is provided at the edge of the second discharge hole 411, the second cutting blade 410 protrudes inward toward the inner side of the outer cylinder 406, and the blade tip of the second cutting blade 410 faces the rotation direction of the centrifuge cylinder 403; the second cutting blade 410 is inserted into the first discharge hole 409.

[0080] The passageway 404 for food waste is formed at the overlap of the first discharge hole 409 and the second discharge hole 411; the overlap area of ​​the passageway 404 for food waste can be adjusted by adjusting the relative position of the second discharge hole 411 with respect to the first discharge hole 409.

[0081] The adjustment component 407 is connected to the inner cylinder 405 and the outer cylinder 406 respectively, and is used to change the size of the passage 404 for food waste by adjusting the relative rotation angle between the inner cylinder 405 and the outer cylinder 406, and to change the position of the second cutting blade 410 relative to the first cutting blade 408.

[0082] When the adjusting component 407 adjusts the relative rotation angle between the inner cylinder 405 and the outer cylinder 406, the first discharge hole 409 moves relative to the second discharge hole 411, the passageway 404 for kitchen waste changes, and the second cutting blade 410 moves within the first discharge hole 409, changing the relative position between the first cutting blade 408 and the second cutting blade 410.

[0083] In the in-situ food waste treatment device provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, during use, the operator first needs to pour the food waste raw material into the crushing mechanism 200. The crushing mechanism 200 crushes and pulverizes the food waste raw material, and then conveys it to the centrifugal mechanism 400 via the conveying mechanism. The control mechanism controls the operation of the centrifugal mechanism 400, and the centrifugal cylinder 403 of the centrifugal mechanism 400 rotates around its own axis. The control mechanism controls the stirring and cutting mechanism 500 to rotate in the opposite direction to its own axis and the rotation direction of the centrifugal cylinder 403. At this time, the food waste located in the centrifugal cylinder 403 is subjected to the centrifugal force of the centrifugal mechanism 400, the support force of the cylinder wall of the centrifugal cylinder 403, the frictional force of the cylinder wall of the centrifugal cylinder 403, and possibly the shearing force of the cutting tool 503. Under the action of centrifugal force, the moisture and some small particles in the kitchen waste enter the crushing hopper 600 through the kitchen waste passage 404 on the centrifuge cylinder 403; under the support force and friction of the centrifuge cylinder 403 wall, the kitchen waste moves or is squeezed relative to the inner cylinder 405. Under the action of the first cutting blade 408 on the inner cylinder 405 or the second cutting blade 410 on the outer cylinder 406, the kitchen waste is cut into more small particles, which enter the crushing hopper 600 through the kitchen waste passage 404.

[0084] Similarly, under the shearing force of the cutting blade 503, the kitchen waste will be cut into more small particles, which will then enter the crushing hopper 600 through the kitchen waste passage 404.

[0085] As can be seen from the present solution, the present solution utilizes a rotating cutting tool 503 that rotates in the opposite direction to the rotation of the separation cylinder inside the closed separation cylinder, which generates relative motion with the kitchen waste moving with the separation cylinder inside the separation cylinder, resulting in a faster relative speed, which is conducive to cutting the kitchen waste quickly and powerfully.

[0086] In addition, this solution fully considers the centrifugal force, friction force and support force on the food waste, and uses the first cutting blade 408 and the second cutting blade 410 on the separation cylinder to finely cut the food waste into smaller particles, which are more convenient for subsequent composting.

[0087] Furthermore, the in-situ food waste treatment device provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention can adjust the relative position of the inner cylinder 405 and the outer cylinder 406 using the adjusting component 407, thereby adjusting the position of the first discharge hole 409 of the inner cylinder 405 relative to the second discharge hole 411 of the outer cylinder 406. This allows for adjustment of the size of the food waste passageway 404 formed in the overlapping portion of the first discharge hole 409 and the second discharge hole 411. In this way, the filtration accuracy of the food waste in the centrifuge cylinder 403 can be precisely controlled.

[0088] Food waste particles, oil, and moisture, passing through the centrifugal mechanism 400 and the mixing and cutting mechanism 500, enter the crushing hopper 600. Under gravity, they fall onto the filter screen 700, while the moisture and oil drip into the liquid phase waste collection hopper 103 located below the filter screen 700 for oil-liquid separation. The food waste particles, after passing through the filter screen 700, enter the solid phase waste collection hopper 102 for storage.

[0089] The drying unit 900, which is connected to the solid waste collection bin 102, dries the solid kitchen waste. The dried kitchen waste then enters the granulation unit 101 for granulation to produce granular raw materials that can be used to make fertilizer.

[0090] The in-situ food waste treatment device provided in Embodiment 1 of this invention can achieve precise control over the treatment of food waste. Its innovation lies in its ability to handle multiple operating conditions. For example, when the adjusting component 407 adjusts the relative rotation angle between the outer cylinder 406 and the inner cylinder 405 to its minimum, the second cutting blade 410 and the first cutting blade 408 are stacked. At this time, the cutting ability for food waste in the separation cylinder is insufficient, and the food waste passageway 404 is at its maximum, making it more suitable for coarse and rapid processing of food waste. Another example is when the adjusting component 407 adjusts the relative rotation angle between the outer cylinder 406 and the inner cylinder 405 to an intermediate value between the maximum and minimum angles, the second cutting blade 410 and the first cutting blade 408... When the blade 408 separates, the cutting ability of the kitchen waste in the separation cylinder is enhanced, and the passageway 404 for kitchen waste becomes smaller, which is suitable for relatively fine processing of kitchen waste. For example, when the relative rotation angle between the outer cylinder 406 and the inner cylinder 405 is adjusted to the maximum angle using the adjusting component 407, the separation distance between the second cutting blade 410 and the first cutting blade 408 is the maximum. At this time, the cutting ability of the kitchen waste in the separation cylinder is enhanced, and the passageway 404 for kitchen waste is blocked by the outer shell of the outer cylinder 406, which is suitable for repeated fine processing of kitchen waste.

[0091] Furthermore, the adjusting mechanism includes a screw 412, a nut 413, and a slide 414. The slide 414 is formed on the outer cylinder 406, and the screw 412 is inserted into the slide 414. One end of the screw 412 is connected to the inner cylinder 405, and the other end extends out of the slide 414 of the outer cylinder 406. The nut 413 is screwed in from the other end of the screw 412 to fix the position of the screw 412 on the slide 414.

[0092] During use, the operator disassembles the outer casing 100, loosens the nut 413, and adjusts the position of the adjusting screw 412 on the slide rail 414. At this time, the inner cylinder 405 and the outer cylinder 406 rotate relative to each other. After adjustment, tighten the nut 413 to achieve a tight connection between the inner cylinder 405 and the outer cylinder 406.

[0093] Furthermore, the in-situ food waste treatment device provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention also includes a spraying mechanism 104, which is disposed at the top of the centrifugal mechanism 400, and the spraying direction of the spraying mechanism 104 is towards the top of the inner cylinder 405. In this way, the sprayed water can flow from the top to the bottom of the centrifugal mechanism 400 to wash away the food waste attached to the cylinder wall.

[0094] Furthermore, the centrifuge cylinder 403 is funnel-shaped, with the top diameter of the centrifuge cylinder 403 being larger than the bottom diameter. This funnel-shaped design allows the centrifugal force to exert an upward component on the food waste on the cylinder wall during centrifugal rotation, causing the food waste to move upwards and re-enter the mixing and cutting mechanism 500 for secondary cutting.

[0095] Furthermore, the crushing mechanism 200 includes at least a pair of relatively moving crushing rollers, which are equipped with crushing blades for crushing kitchen waste.

[0096] The in-situ food waste treatment device provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention further includes a water spraying mechanism, which includes a water tank 105, a water pump 106, and a water spray nozzle 107. The water pump 106 is connected to the water tank 105 and the water spray nozzle 107 and is used to send the water pump 106 in the water tank 105 to the water spray nozzle 107. The water spray nozzle 107 is located on the side of the conveying mechanism 300 near the crushing mechanism 200, and the water spraying direction of the water spray nozzle 107 is towards the side of the conveying mechanism 300 near the centrifugal mechanism 400.

[0097] The in-situ food waste treatment device provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention further includes a heating mechanism 108, which is disposed in a water tank 105. Hot water can dissolve some of the food waste into small particles, resulting in better rinsing.

[0098] In the on-site food waste treatment device provided in this embodiment 2, the outer casing 100 is provided with a top cover 109, which slides and closes above the crushing mechanism 200. The top cover 109 is connected to the outer casing 100 via a slide rail, thereby achieving the sliding close-up of the top cover above the crushing mechanism 200.

[0099] Furthermore, the crushing mechanism 200 is equipped with a material storage bin at the top, which is funnel-shaped and used to centrally store kitchen waste placed on the crushing mechanism 200.

[0100] The in-situ treatment device for kitchen waste provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention also includes a photolysis mechanism, which is located below the top cover 109. The photolysis mechanism is used to decompose the waste gas by using strong ultraviolet light with a short wavelength of 185nm, breaking the molecular chain, and at the same time generating a large amount of ozone to oxidize the waste gas.

[0101] Furthermore, the on-site treatment device for kitchen waste provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention also includes an ultraviolet disinfection lamp, which is installed below the spray device and the irradiation direction of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp is towards the centrifugal mechanism 400.

[0102] In some embodiments, the filter screen 700 includes a vibrating assembly and a screen mesh, with the vibrating assembly connected to the screen mesh. A control mechanism is communicatively connected to the vibrating assembly and is used to control the vibration frequency and switching of the vibrating assembly, etc.

[0103] In this first embodiment, the conveying mechanism 300 is a conveyor belt.

[0104] In other embodiments, the conveying mechanism 300 may also be a conveying pipe or the like.
