[0002] Food waste is household waste generated during daily consumption. Its main components include leftover rice and flour products, vegetables, animal and vegetable oils, meat and bones, etc. Chemically, it contains starch, cellulose, protein, lipids and inorganic salts. Nutrient-rich food waste is a valuable renewable resource. Food waste has the dual characteristics of waste and resource, especially food waste from the catering industry, which has the problems of large volume and low processing efficiency.

[0003] Existing food waste treatment devices have poor crushing efficiency. When dealing with hard materials such as cow bones, the crushing blades are easily damaged, affecting the service life of the device and the subsequent treatment effect.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a food waste treatment device and its usage method to solve the problem that existing food waste treatment devices are not effective at crushing materials with high hardness and are prone to damage. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the above problems, this invention provides a kitchen waste treatment device and its usage method.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: a kitchen waste treatment device, including a treatment box body and a crushing roller disposed inside the treatment box body. The treatment box body has a crushing chamber inside, and a plurality of receiving slots are provided on the upper part of the crushing chamber. An auxiliary crushing component is rotatably connected inside the receiving slot.

[0007] The auxiliary crushing assembly includes a connecting seat and several auxiliary rollers. The auxiliary rollers are rotatably connected to the connecting seat, and the connecting seat is rotatably connected to the receiving groove. A horizontally positioned limiting plate is provided at the lower part of the connecting seat.

[0008] As an optimization, the lower part of the crushing chamber is tapered, the middle diameter of the crushing roller is larger than the upper diameter and the lower diameter of the crushing roller, and the auxiliary crushing component is arranged opposite to the upper middle side of the crushing roller.

[0009] As an optimization, the top and bottom of the receiving groove are both arc-shaped, the top of the connecting seat fits into the top of the receiving groove, and the bottom of the connecting seat fits into the bottom of the receiving groove.

[0010] As an optimization, the circle containing the bottom surface of the receiving groove and the circle containing the top surface of the receiving groove are concentric circles, and the radius of the circle containing the bottom surface of the receiving groove is smaller than the radius of the circle containing the top surface of the receiving groove.

[0011] As an optimization, several auxiliary crushing components are evenly arranged along the circumference of the crushing chamber. An auxiliary motor is provided in the axial direction of the auxiliary roller. A bearing is connected between the two connecting shafts of the auxiliary roller and the connecting seat. The outer ring of the bearing is fixed to the connecting seat. A pressure sensor is provided between the side of the outer ring of the bearing away from the crushing roller and the connecting seat.

[0012] As an optimization, a first drive motor is provided on the upper side of the processing box body, and the output shaft of the first drive motor is connected to the axis of the crushing roller.

[0017] A2. Crushing: The kitchen waste is crushed by crushing rollers, and the crushed waste is discharged from the bottom of the main body of the treatment box;

[0018] A3. Assisted crushing: When hard lumps of waste are stuck between the main body of the processing box and the crushing roller, the connecting seat rotates in the direction of the crushing roller, and the auxiliary roller grinds the lumps of waste, so that the volume of the lumps of waste is continuously reduced until the lumps of waste can pass through the minimum distance between the crushing roller and the crushing chamber.

[0019] A4. Auxiliary crushing component reset: After the block waste is crushed, the connecting seat is retracted into the receiving tank, and crushing can continue through the crushing roller.

[0020] This solution provides a kitchen waste treatment device and its usage method, which has the following advantages:

[0021] This application uses a crushing roller to crush materials. When a large, hard block is stuck between the crushing roller and the crushing chamber, an auxiliary crushing component locally and selectively crushes the block until its volume is reduced without damaging the crushing roller.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a kitchen waste treatment device and a kitchen waste treatment device thereof include a treatment box body 1 and a crushing roller 2 disposed inside the treatment box body 1. The treatment box body 1 has a crushing chamber 3 inside, and a plurality of receiving slots 7 are provided on the upper part of the crushing chamber 3. An auxiliary crushing component is rotatably connected inside the receiving slots 7.

[0030] The auxiliary crushing assembly includes a connecting seat 4 and several auxiliary rollers 5. The auxiliary rollers 5 are rotatably connected to the connecting seat 4, and the connecting seat 4 is rotatably connected to the receiving groove 7. A horizontally arranged limiting plate 6 is provided at the lower part of the connecting seat 4.

[0031] The auxiliary crushing assembly can rotate horizontally into the crushing chamber 3. The outer surfaces of the auxiliary roller 5 and the crushing roller 2 can be provided with protrusions or blades for grinding the waste; to prevent damage to the blades, grinding protrusions are preferred.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the lower part of the crushing chamber 3 is tapered, the middle diameter of the crushing roller 2 is larger than the upper diameter and the lower diameter of the crushing roller 2, and the auxiliary crushing component is arranged opposite to the upper middle part of the crushing roller 2.

[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the top and bottom of the receiving groove 7 are both arc-shaped, the top of the connecting seat 4 is in contact with the top of the receiving groove 7, and the bottom of the connecting seat 4 is in contact with the bottom of the receiving groove 7.

[0034] The circle containing the bottom surface of the receiving groove 7 and the circle containing the top surface of the receiving groove 7 are concentric circles, and the radius of the circle containing the bottom surface of the receiving groove 7 is smaller than the radius of the circle containing the top surface of the receiving groove 7.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, several auxiliary crushing components are evenly arranged along the circumference of the crushing chamber 3. An auxiliary motor 8 is provided in the axial direction of the auxiliary roller 5. A bearing 9 is connected between the two connecting shafts of the auxiliary roller 5 and the connecting seat 4. The outer ring of the bearing 9 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 4. A pressure sensor 10 is provided between the side of the outer ring of the bearing 9 away from the crushing roller 2 and the connecting seat 4.

[0036] During operation, a certain pressure threshold is set by the controller. When the pressure sensor 10 detects that the pressure value is greater than the set pressure threshold, it indicates that there is a blocky material stuck between the crushing roller 2 and the inner wall of the crushing chamber 3.

[0037] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a first drive motor 11 is provided on the upper side of the processing box body 1, and the output shaft of the first drive motor 11 is connected to the axis of the crushing roller 2.

[0038] The processing box body 1 has a second drive motor 12 inside its outer shell, which is used to drive the connecting seat 4 to rotate.

[0039] The output shaft of the second drive motor 12 is connected to a drive gear, and the bottom of the connecting seat 4 is provided with a connecting rack, which meshes with the adjusting rack.

[0040] Similarly, the second drive motor 12 can also be installed inside the connecting seat 4, and the output shaft of the second drive motor 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove 7.

[0041] like Figure 3As shown, the lower part of the connecting seat 4 is provided with a telescopic rod 13, the extended end of the telescopic rod 13 is connected to the limiting plate 6, and the lower part of the connecting seat 4 is provided with a connecting cavity for accommodating the limiting plate 6. The side of the connecting cavity adjacent to the crushing roller 2 is open.

[0042] A method for using a food waste treatment device includes the following steps:

[0043] A1. Feeding: Kitchen waste is fed into the crushing chamber 3 from the top of the main body 1 of the processing box;

[0044] A2. Crushing: The kitchen waste is crushed by the crushing roller 2, and the crushed waste is discharged from the bottom of the main body of the treatment box 1;

[0045] A3. Assisted crushing: When a large block of waste gets stuck between the main body 1 of the processing box and the crushing roller 2, the connecting seat 4 rotates in the direction of the crushing roller 2, and the auxiliary roller 5 grinds the block of waste, so that the volume of the block of waste is continuously reduced until the block of waste can pass through the minimum distance between the crushing roller 2 and the crushing chamber 3.

[0046] A4. Auxiliary crushing component reset: After the block waste is crushed, the connecting seat 4 is retracted into the receiving tank 7, and crushing can continue through the crushing roller 2.

[0047] In practical use, the device drives the connecting seat 4 to rotate via the second drive motor 12, causing the auxiliary roller 5 to rotate in the direction of the crushing roller 2. The auxiliary roller 5 clamps the blocky waste with the crushing roller 2 and performs localized and precise grinding of the blocky waste through the auxiliary roller 5.

[0048] At the same time, the limiting plate 6 is extended outward by the telescopic rod 13 to prevent blocky waste from entering between the crushing roller 2 and the inner wall of the crushing chamber 3, thus avoiding damage to the crushing roller 2 by the blocky waste;

[0049] As the volume of the blocky waste gradually decreases, the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 10 gradually decreases. The second drive motor 12 drives the connecting seat 4 to continue rotating in the direction of the crushing roller 2, thereby improving the crushing effect of the auxiliary roller 5 on the blocky waste.

[0050] The rotation angle of the connecting seat 4 shall not exceed the set threshold, so that the connecting seat 4 does not contact the crushing roller 2 after rotation. When the connecting seat 4 rotates to the maximum angle, when the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 10 is less than the set minimum pressure threshold, the distance between the inner wall of the crushing chamber 3 and the crushing roller 2 is less than the distance between the surface block waste and the crushing roller 2, thus completing the auxiliary crushing process.

[0051] Then, the telescopic rod 13 is shortened, and the limiting plate 6 is retracted into the connecting seat 4. The connecting seat 4 is then retracted into the receiving groove 7 by the second drive motor 12.

The patent protection scope of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, the product form and style of the above-described specific embodiments.
