[0002] With the development of science and technology, in order to more conveniently handle kitchen waste, the prior art processes kitchen waste by installing a food waste disposer below the water outlet in the sink. Specifically, the food waste disposer crushes food residues into particles small enough, and water is discharged from the faucet above the sink. The water forms a Venturi principle in the food waste disposer to pull air out of the high-pressure environment in the grinding part of the food waste disposer and then discharge it.

The first water inlet 6 adds water to the inside of the main body 1. The water sprayed from the first water inlet 6 can form a water curtain above the crushing cavity 4, which is used to cover the entire cross-section of the crushing cavity 4 and then enter the crushing cavity 4 to achieve spatial isolation and assist in crushing food waste. A partition is also installed above the water curtain to cover the connecting cavity 3, and cooperate with the water curtain formed by the first water inlet 6 to complete further isolation, splash prevention and noise prevention. The partition used in this application is a partition in the prior art.

[0050] In the present embodiment, by setting a first water outlet, the sprayed water can form a water curtain above the crushing chamber 4 through the setting of the groove 7 to cover the cross-section of the crushing chamber 4 and isolate the space of the crushing chamber 4, so that when the food waste disposer is crushing garbage, food waste debris can be prevented from splashing, and the noise of the crushing device when crushing food waste can be reduced. When the food waste crushing device is crushing food waste, water can be continuously added to the crushing chamber 4, so that the crushed food waste in the crushing chamber 4 can flow out of the crushing chamber 4 more smoothly, and the accumulation of debris during crushing is also ensured to prevent the crushing device from getting stuck. Moreover, the water curtain is above the crushing chamber 4, that is, water flows downward from above the food debris, further suppressing the splashing of food waste debris.

[0051] like Figure 2 and 4 As shown: a groove 7 is transversely provided on the end surface of one end of the first water inlet member 6 located in the connecting cavity 3, and a water flow channel 8 is arranged inside the first water inlet member 6, and the water flow channel 8 is connected to the groove 7, and the width of the bottom of the groove 7 is smaller than the diameter of the cross section of the water flow channel 8.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , the opening width of the groove 7 on the end surface of the first water inlet member 6 is greater than the width of the bottom of the groove 7 .

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown: the lower side wall of the groove 7 is an inclined side wall, and the upper side wall is horizontally arranged.

[0054] In this embodiment, by setting the connection between the groove 7 and the water flow channel 8, the setting of the inclined surface in the groove 7 can increase the thickness of the formed water curtain and enhance the isolation effect. In addition, the downward inclined setting of the lower side wall can guide the tail end of the water curtain downward, reduce the pressure at the groove 7 and the direct impact force of the water curtain on the inner wall of the food waste disposer, extend the service life of the device, and better guide the water into the crushing chamber 4. In combination with the structure with open settings on both sides, better water curtain coverage can be achieved.

[0055] And for the convenience of illustration in the drawings, the lower side wall of the groove 7 is called the first groove side wall 21 , and the upper side wall of the groove 7 is called the second groove side wall 22 .

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown: a connecting hole is opened on the cavity wall of the connecting cavity 3;

[0057] The first water inlet member 6 is provided with a water outlet end 9 and a connecting end 10, and a baffle 11 is fixedly sleeved outside the first water inlet member 6, the water outlet end 9 and the connecting end 10 are located on both sides of the baffle 11, the water outlet end 9 is located in the connecting cavity 3, the connecting end 10 extends from the connecting hole to the outside of the main body 1 in a direction away from the inside of the connecting cavity 3, the baffle 11 abuts against the inner wall of the connecting cavity 3, the outer wall of the connecting end 10 can be abutted and connected with the inner wall of the connecting hole, and the baffle 11 is annular.

[0058] like Figure 4 and 6 As shown: the water inlet device also includes a sealing ring 12 and a retaining spring 13;

[0059] In this embodiment, by providing connecting devices such as a baffle 11, a retaining spring 13 and a sealing member, the first water inlet member 6 can better complete a stable connection with the garbage disposal device, while also facilitating disassembly and assembly, thereby increasing the convenience of operation during assembly and the stability of the device during use.

[0060] A plurality of connection grooves are formed on the outer wall of the connection end 10, and the connection grooves include a first clamping groove 14 and two installation grooves 15;

[0061] The sealing ring 12 is sleeved in the mounting groove 15, and the sealing ring 12 is in contact with the inner wall of the connecting hole. The clamping spring 13 is sleeved in the first clamping groove 14, and the side wall of the clamping spring 13 is in contact with the side wall of the first clamping groove 14 and the outer wall of the connecting cavity 3. The above content can be understood as the two mounting grooves 15 are located between the stopper 11 and the first clamping groove 14.

[0062] In this embodiment, the sealing ring 12 is set as a rubber sealing ring 12. The present application uses the rubber sealing ring 12 for sealing to complete the vertical positioning connection between the first water inlet component 6 and the main body 1. Through the cooperation of the retaining spring 13 and the baffle 11, the cavity wall of the main body 1 is clamped between the baffle 11 and the retaining spring 13 to complete the horizontal positioning connection between the first water inlet component 6 and the main body 1, making the overall structure more stable and easy to disassemble and install.

[0063] like Figure 1-2 As shown: the water inlet device also includes a water pipe and a second water inlet member 16, one end of the water pipe is sleeved on the first water inlet member 6, and the other end is sleeved on the second water inlet member 16, the second water inlet member 16 is arranged on the main body 1, and is connected to a solenoid valve for controlling the water inlet amount.

[0068] In addition, the auxiliary connecting member 18 is composed of two auxiliary connecting parts 23, and the contour radius of the auxiliary connecting part 23 gradually increases from one end to the other end, and the two auxiliary connecting parts 23 are connected end to end to form the auxiliary connecting member 18. The meaning of being connected end to end can be understood as that the end face of the end with a smaller contour radius coincides with the end face of the end with a larger contour radius on the other auxiliary connecting part 23, so that a spacing space 24 is formed between the two adjacent auxiliary connecting parts 23.

[0069] In this embodiment, the provision of the auxiliary connecting piece 18 enables the water pipe to be conveniently installed outside the first water inlet piece 6, and the spacing space 24 formed between each auxiliary connecting part 23 can also provide a transition for the water pipe during installation when the water pipe is installed on the first water inlet piece 6, thereby further improving the convenience of installation. In addition, the provision of the spacing space 24 can also balance the pressure of the water pipe. If water leakage occurs at the interface, the spacing space 24 will also provide a temporary storage space for water, thereby avoiding instantaneous disconnection at the water pipe interface and making it easier to detect water leakage in the water pipe.

[0070] like Figure 5-6 As shown: in the length direction of the first water inlet member 6, the distance from the bottom of the groove 7 to the center of the first water inlet member 6 is smaller than the distance from the end of the water flow channel 8 located on the same side thereof to the center of the first water inlet member 6, and a buffer portion 19 extending toward the water flow channel 8 is formed on the upper and lower side surfaces of the groove 7;

[0071] Both sides of the groove 7 are open.

[0072] In this embodiment, the buffer portion 19 can improve the fluidity of water flowing from the water channel 8 into the groove 7, reduce the operating pressure of the water pump and the impact force of water on the groove 7, and make the formed water curtain more stable.

[0073] Both sides of the groove 7 are open, so that the water curtain can better cover the grinding chamber 4 completely.

[0074] like Figure 3-4 As shown: a positioning component is provided, and the positioning component at least includes a first positioning portion 25 and a second positioning portion 26. The first positioning portion 25 is arranged on the baffle 11, and the second positioning portion 26 is arranged on the inner wall of the food waste disposer. The first positioning portion 25 and the second positioning portion 26 are tightly fitted, and the contours of the two are adapted to each other, which are used to complete the positioning connection between the first water inlet member 6 and the connecting hole, so that the installation direction of the groove 7 can be correct to ensure that the formed water curtain can better cover the crushing chamber.

[0075] In the present embodiment, specifically, the first positioning portion 25 is arranged on the outer contour of the baffle, the baffle 11 is arranged in a circular ring shape, and the first positioning portion 25 is specifically arranged as a plane on the baffle contour. It can be understood that a plane is arranged on the circular contour of the baffle 11 as the first positioning portion 25, and the first positioning portion 25 is located above the groove 7 in the vertical direction and is flush with the outer contour of the water outlet end in the horizontal direction, and the second positioning portion 26 is arranged on the inner side wall of the connecting cavity, specifically, one end of the second positioning portion 26 is arranged on the inside of the connecting cavity, and the other end extends into the inside of the connecting cavity, and the lower surface of the second connecting portion 26 is a plane setting that can be adapted to the first positioning portion 25. During installation, since the other positions on the baffle except the first positioning portion 25 are circular and cannot be adapted to the second positioning portion 26, the close fit between the first positioning portion 25 and the second positioning portion 26 can complete the positioning and installation of the first water inlet member 6.
