Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a microbial kitchen waste disposer. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, the amount of kitchen waste is increasing. Kitchen waste is rich in a large amount of organic matter, such as leftovers, fruit peels, bones, etc. If not handled in time, it will not only produce unpleasant odors, breed bacteria and pests, but also cause serious pollution to the environment. Traditional methods of kitchen waste disposal, such as landfill and incineration, have many disadvantages such as occupying a large amount of land resources and producing greenhouse gases. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop an efficient and environmentally friendly kitchen waste treatment equipment.

[0003] Microbial kitchen waste disposers came into being. They use the decomposition of microorganisms to quickly and effectively convert kitchen waste into harmless substances, achieving the reduction, harmlessness and resource treatment of kitchen waste. This disposer is generally composed of a mixing barrel, a driving structure, a stirring mechanism, a microbial delivery device and other parts. During the treatment process, the kitchen waste is placed in the mixing barrel, and an appropriate amount of microbial strains are added. The driving structure drives the stirring mechanism to rotate, so that the kitchen waste and microorganisms are fully mixed, accelerating the decomposition process.

[0004] However, the existing microbial food waste disposers have some shortcomings in the transmission mode between the driving structure and the stirring mechanism. At present, most products usually adopt a belt or chain mode to realize transmission.

[0005] Although belt drive has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, and vibration absorption, it also has obvious disadvantages. The belt is prone to slip during long-term use, resulting in reduced transmission efficiency and affecting the normal operation of the stirring mechanism. Moreover, the belt will generate loud noise when running at high speed, especially when the friction between the belt and the pulley is uneven, the noise will be more obvious. In addition, the strength of the belt is limited, and it is easy to break when bearing a large load, and it needs to be replaced frequently, which increases the cost of use and maintenance workload.

[0006] Although chain transmission can transmit large power and has an accurate transmission ratio, it also has the problem of high noise. During the operation of the chain, the meshing between the chain links and the sprocket will produce impact and vibration, thus making a harsh sound. Moreover, the structure of the chain is relatively complex and requires regular lubrication and tension adjustment, otherwise it is prone to faults such as tooth skipping and chain derailment. In addition, the strength of the chain is not completely reliable. During long-term use, the wear between the chain links will gradually increase, causing the chain to elongate, affecting the stability and reliability of the transmission. The structural strength is difficult to meet some high-intensity and long-term operation requirements.

[0007] The present invention is developed in view of the deficiencies of the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Regarding the technical problems of the existing drive structure and stirring mechanism of the microbial food waste processor, which usually adopt a belt or chain method for transmission, resulting in high noise and insufficient structural strength.

[0009] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is as follows: A microbial food waste processor, comprising a housing, a stirring barrel is provided in the housing and a drive structure is located below it, the stirring barrel is provided with a stirring mechanism, and a gear transmission assembly capable of enabling transmission connection between the drive structure and the stirring mechanism is provided between the drive structure and the stirring mechanism, and the gear transmission assembly is located on one side of the stirring barrel.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The microbial food waste processor of the present invention relates to the technical field of household appliances. It comprises a housing, a stirring barrel is provided in the housing and a drive structure is located below it, the stirring barrel is provided with a stirring mechanism, and a gear transmission assembly capable of enabling transmission connection between the drive structure and the stirring mechanism is provided between the drive structure and the stirring mechanism, and the gear transmission assembly is located on one side of the stirring barrel. When the microbial food waste processor is started, the drive structure starts to operate and generates power. The power output by the drive structure is transmitted to the stirring mechanism through the gear transmission assembly. The gears in the gear transmission assembly transmit power through the meshing of the teeth. This meshing method is more stable, and the stability of the gear transmission makes the noise generated during operation smaller; moreover, the gears in the gear transmission assembly have high hardness and strength. When the stirring mechanism stirs the food waste, even when encountering some harder food waste or greater resistance, the gear transmission can stably transmit power to ensure the normal operation of the processor.

[0011] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments. Brief Description of the Drawings

Detailed implementation mode

[0013] The following will describe in detail the implementation mode of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0014] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, the microbial kitchen waste processor of this embodiment includes a housing 1. A stirring barrel 2 and a driving structure 3 located below it are provided inside the housing 1. The stirring barrel 2 is provided with a stirring mechanism 4. A gear transmission assembly 5 capable of realizing a transmission connection between the driving structure 3 and the stirring mechanism 4 is provided between the driving structure 3 and the stirring mechanism 4. The gear transmission assembly 5 is located on one side of the stirring barrel 2.

[0015] When the microbial kitchen waste processor is started, the driving structure 3 starts to operate and generates power. The power output by the driving 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 driving structure 3 and rotates with the rotation of the output shaft of the driving structure 3. The driving gear meshes with the driven gear. The rotation of the driving gear drives the driven gear to rotate, and the driven gear is connected to the stirring mechanism 4, thereby transmitting the power to the stirring mechanism 4, causing the stirring mechanism 4 to start rotating in the stirring barrel 2. During the rotation of the stirring mechanism 4, the kitchen waste and microorganisms in the stirring barrel 2 are stirred, so that the kitchen waste and microorganisms are fully mixed, accelerating the decomposition process of the microorganisms on the kitchen waste.

[0016] Furthermore, compared with belt or chain transmission, the gears of the gear transmission assembly 5 transmit power through the meshing of the teeth. This meshing method is more stable. The stability of gear transmission makes the noise generated during its operation smaller, and can create a relatively quiet atmosphere for the use environment.

[0017] Furthermore, the gears in the gear transmission assembly 5 are usually made of high-strength materials and are processed and heat-treated through special processes, having relatively high hardness and strength. It can withstand large torques and loads. When the stirring mechanism 4 stirs kitchen waste, even when encountering some relatively hard kitchen waste or large resistance, the gear transmission can stably transmit power and is not prone to damage or deformation, ensuring the normal operation of the entire processor.

[0018] Furthermore, the transmission ratio of the gear transmission is accurate, and it can accurately transmit the power of the driving structure 3 to the stirring mechanism 4, ensuring that the stirring mechanism 4 rotates at a predetermined speed and manner. This high-precision transmission can make the stirring more uniform and efficient, improving the decomposition effect of microorganisms on kitchen waste. 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.

[0019] Furthermore, the structure of the gear transmission assembly 5 is relatively simple and does not have problems such as the belt in the belt drive being prone to aging and slackening, or the chain in the chain drive being prone to tooth skipping and chain derailment. Its working stability is high, and during long-term use, it does not need to be adjusted and replaced as frequently as belts and chains, reducing the equipment maintenance cost and downtime, and improving the overall reliability and operation efficiency of the equipment.

[0020] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, the gear transmission assembly 5 of this embodiment includes a driving wheel 51 and a multi-stage gear set 52. The driving wheel 51 is arranged at the output end of the driving structure 3. The stirring mechanism 4 is provided with a transmission end 41 that penetrates through one side of the stirring barrel 2. The multi-stage gear set 52 is respectively in transmission connection with the driving wheel 51 and the transmission end 41.

[0021] After the driving structure 3 is started, its output end starts to rotate, driving the driving wheel 51 installed at the output end to rotate. The rotation of the driving wheel 51 will transmit power to the multi-stage gear set 52 that is in transmission connection with it. The multi-stage gear set 52 is composed of multiple meshing gears. The rotation of the driving wheel 51 drives the first gear that is directly meshed with it in the multi-stage gear set 52 to rotate, and then through the sequential meshing transmission between the gears, the power is gradually transmitted inside the multi-stage gear set 52. Finally, the multi-stage gear set 52 transmits the power to the gear connected to the transmission end 41 of the stirring mechanism 4, thereby driving the transmission end 41 to rotate, and further enabling the stirring mechanism 4 to start working in the stirring barrel 2 to stir the kitchen waste and microorganisms in the barrel.

[0022] Preferably, each stage of the multi-stage gear set 52 has an accurate transmission ratio, which enables precise control of the speed change from the driving wheel 51 to the transmission end 41. The multi-stage gear transmission can more directly and accurately transfer the power of the driving structure 3 to the stirring mechanism 4 at a preset speed, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the stirring process.

[0023] Furthermore, in the multi-stage gear transmission, when the rotational speed of the driving wheel 51 is high but the torque is small, through the speed reduction transmission of the multi-stage gear set 52, a larger torque output can be obtained at the transmission end 41. When dealing with kitchen waste, the stirring mechanism 4 may encounter greater resistance. Especially when there is more or harder waste in the stirring barrel 2, the multi-stage gear set 52 can reasonably distribute and amplify the power output by the driving structure 3, enabling the stirring mechanism 4 to obtain sufficient torque to overcome these resistances and ensuring the smooth progress of the stirring work.

[0024] Furthermore, the gear transmission itself has a high transmission efficiency. Although the multi-stage gear set 52 increases the number of gears and the number of transmission stages, due to the characteristics of its meshing method, the energy loss is relatively small during the torque transmission process. The multi-stage gear transmission can more effectively transfer the power of the driving structure 3 to the stirring mechanism 4, reducing energy waste and improving the energy utilization efficiency of the entire processor.

[0025] Furthermore, the multi-stage gear set 52 can be reasonably arranged and designed according to the internal space structure of the housing 1. By reasonably 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, etc., the 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 structure of the entire microbial kitchen waste processor more compact and saving installation space.

[0026] Furthermore, the multi-stage gear set 52 can be designed and manufactured as an independent module. During 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 certain gear is damaged or needs to be adjusted, the multi-stage gear set 52 can be directly operated without the need to disassemble and repair the entire device on a large scale, improving the maintainability and production efficiency of the device.

[0027] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, the multi-stage gear set 52 of this embodiment includes a first gear 521 and a second gear 522 meshing with it. The first gear 521 and the second gear 522 are sequentially connected 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 driving wheel 51.

[0028] When the drive structure 3 is activated, its output end drives the driving wheel 51 to rotate. Since the second gear 522 meshes with the driving wheel 51, the rotation of the driving wheel 51 will drive the second gear 522 to rotate through the mutual force between the teeth. After the second gear 522 rotates, because it meshes with the first gear 521, it will transmit the power to the first gear 521, causing the first gear 521 to start rotating. The first gear 521 is connected to the transmission end 41 of the stirring mechanism 4, and the rotation of the first gear 521 will drive the transmission end 41 to rotate, thereby enabling the stirring mechanism 4 to perform stirring work in the stirring barrel 2, realizing the mixing and stirring of kitchen waste and microorganisms.

[0029] Preferably, the first gear 521 and the second gear 522 are sequentially connected 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 a microbial kitchen waste processor, the space is usually relatively limited. Adopting a vertical gear arrangement can avoid occupying too much space in the horizontal direction, making the overall structure of the device more compact. This is particularly important for a device that needs to be installed in a relatively small space such as a kitchen and can better adapt to different installation environments.

[0030] Furthermore, the vertically arranged gear set is conducive to integrated design with other components. For example, the transmission end 41 of the stirring mechanism 4 can be conveniently connected to the first gear 521 located above, and the drive structure 3 can be reasonably arranged below the stirring barrel 2 so that the driving wheel 51 meshes with the second gear 522. Such a layout makes the connection between each component smoother, reduces the complexity of the transmission path, and improves the integration and stability of the entire device.

[0031] 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 driving wheel 51 to the transmission end 41, ensuring the stable operation of the stirring mechanism 4. During the process of stirring kitchen waste, stable transmission can ensure the uniformity of the stirring speed, enabling microorganisms to be fully mixed with kitchen waste and improving the efficiency and effect of waste decomposition.

[0032] Furthermore, the first gear 521 and the second gear 522 connected in sequence in the vertical direction are relatively independent and their positions are relatively clear, facilitating inspection and maintenance by staff. During daily maintenance, it is convenient to observe the wear condition, lubrication state, etc. of the gears. If a certain gear fails, it can also be relatively easily disassembled and replaced, reducing the difficulty and time cost of maintenance and improving the maintainability of the device.

[0033] Furthermore, for gear transmission, good lubrication is the key to ensuring its normal operation and extending its service life. In this vertical layout, it is more convenient to manage the lubrication of gears. For example, appropriate lubrication methods (such as drip lubrication, oil bath lubrication, etc.) can be adopted to enable the lubricating oil to better cover the gear surface. And due to the action of gravity, the flow and distribution of the lubricating oil in the vertical direction are relatively more conducive to the lubrication of gears, reducing the occurrence probability of gear wear and failures.

[0034] In some other embodiments, by reasonably selecting the tooth number ratio of the first gear 521 and the second gear 522, the transmission ratio can be conveniently adjusted. Different food waste treatment requirements may need different stirring speeds. By changing the tooth number ratio of the gears, the speed change between the driving wheel 51 and the transmission end 41 can be achieved to adapt to different working scenarios. For example, when rapid stirring is required, an appropriate tooth number ratio can be selected to increase the rotational speed of the transmission end 41; while when treating harder garbage that requires greater torque, the gears can be replaced to adjust the tooth number ratio to reduce the speed and increase the torque, and a suitable design can be selected according to actual requirements.

[0035] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, the centers of the first gear 521, the second gear 522 and the driving wheel 51 in this embodiment are on the same straight line, and their rotations are carried out around the same axis. The power transmission proceeds sequentially along this straight line direction, ensuring the continuity and stability of the transmission.

[0036] 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 single, reducing unnecessary lateral forces and torque losses. This design avoids energy losses caused by the dispersion and direction change of forces, 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.

[0037] Furthermore, the gear transmission arranged in a straight line can more precisely control the transmission of rotational speed and torque. Because each gear rotates around the same axis, their relative position relationship is more stable, the meshing between teeth is more accurate, reducing the error accumulation during the transmission process. This is very important for food waste treatment equipment that requires precise control of stirring speed and strength, which can ensure the consistency and stability of the stirring effect and improve the mixing quality of food waste and microorganisms.

[0038] Furthermore, when the centers of the three gears are on the same straight line, the force on the transmission system is more uniform and balanced. During operation, large vibrations and noises will not be generated due to the eccentricity or irregular movement of the gears. The smooth operation can not only extend the service life of the gears and other transmission components, but also create a quiet condition for the equipment's operating environment, reduce the interference to the surrounding environment, and enhance the user experience.

[0039] Furthermore, the gear layout in a straight line makes the structure of the entire transmission system more compact and stable. The connection between the gears is closer, and the mutual support effect is stronger, enabling it to better withstand various forces and torques during the transmission process. This helps to improve the overall reliability of the equipment, reduce the risk of component loosening or damage caused by factors such as vibration and impact, lower the failure rate of the equipment, and ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0040] Furthermore, since the centers of the three gears are on the same straight line, it is easier to position and align during equipment installation. Installers can more conveniently install each gear in the correct position, reducing the debugging time and difficulty during the installation process, improving the installation efficiency. At the same time, the straight-line layout also facilitates the connection and assembly with other components, making the installation process of the entire equipment smoother.

[0041] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, the gear transmission assembly 5 of this embodiment further includes a structural support plate 53 located on one side of the mixing barrel 2. A support housing 54 capable of assembling the second gear 522 is provided on the structural support plate 53. A second opening 541 and a first opening 542 for the second gear 522 to be exposed are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the support housing 54.

[0042] Specifically, the structural support plate 53 is installed on one side of the mixing barrel 2, providing a stable support foundation 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 in the support housing 54. When the driving wheel 51 rotates, power is transmitted to the second gear 522 by meshing with the second gear 522. 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 cooperating components.

[0043] Furthermore, the second opening 541 on the upper side and the first opening 542 on the lower side of the support housing 54 expose a portion of the 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 achieve power transmission. The first opening 542 on the lower side facilitates the meshing of the second gear 522 with the first gear 521 or other driven components, further transmitting the power and completing the entire transmission process.

[0044] 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 wraps around and supports the second gear 522, reducing the wobbling and offset of the second gear 522 during operation, ensuring accurate meshing between the 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 damages caused by gear vibration or misalignment.

[0045] 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, especially suitable for application scenarios with limited space. At the same time, the compact structure also facilitates the overall layout and installation of the equipment, improving the integration and aesthetics of the equipment.

[0046] 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 sufficient space for the teeth of the gears to fully contact and interact with each other, reducing the problem of poor meshing caused by space limitations. This helps to improve the transmission efficiency, reduce energy loss, and ensure that power can be efficiently transmitted from the driving wheel to the driven wheels.

[0047] Furthermore, the presence of the openings allows maintenance personnel to conveniently observe the working condition and wear of the second gear 522. When it is necessary to adjust the meshing clearance of the gears or replace the gears, operations can also be carried out through the openings without disassembling the entire support housing 54, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance. This can reduce the downtime of the equipment and lower the maintenance cost.

[0048] Furthermore, the second opening 541 and the first opening 542 facilitate the lubrication of the gears. Lubricating oil or grease can be added to the meshing parts of the gears through the openings to ensure good lubrication of the gears during operation, reduce wear and frictional resistance, and extend the service life of the gears.

[0049] AsFigures 1 to 12 As shown, the support housing 54 of this embodiment includes a first housing 543 provided 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.

[0050] Specifically, the first housing 543 is fixed on the structural support plate 53, providing an installation foundation for the entire support housing 54. The second gear 522 is installed between the first bearing member 545 and the second bearing member 546. The first bearing member 545 and the second bearing member 546 respectively support both 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 members can reduce the friction during the rotation process and ensure the smoothness of power transmission.

[0051] 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 first placed on the first bearing member 545, and then the second housing 544 is connected to the first housing 543, so that the second gear 522 is accurately positioned between the first bearing member 545 and the second bearing member 546. When the second gear 522 needs to be repaired, replaced or inspected, the second housing 544 can be conveniently disassembled to take out the second gear 522 for corresponding operations.

[0052] Furthermore, the detachable design makes the installation of the second gear 522 more convenient. This split structure can more flexibly adjust the position and angle of the second gear 522 during the installation process, ensuring its accurate installation on the bearing members and improving the installation accuracy and efficiency.

[0053] Furthermore, when the second gear 522 fails or needs regular maintenance, only the second housing 544 needs to be disassembled to directly access the second gear 522, without disassembling the entire support housing 54 or other related components. This greatly shortens the maintenance time, reduces the maintenance difficulty, reduces the downtime of the equipment, and improves the production efficiency. At the same time, it is also convenient to inspect and replace the bearing members to ensure the normal operation of the gear transmission system.

[0054] Furthermore, the first bearing member 545 and the second bearing member 546 respectively support both ends of the second gear 522, which can effectively reduce the radial runout and axial end play 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.

[0055] Furthermore, the detachable support housing 54 facilitates lubrication and heat dissipation of the internal second gear 522 and bearing members. During installation and maintenance, lubricating oil can be conveniently added or replaced to ensure good lubrication of the bearings and gears. At the same time, the inside of the housing can also be cleaned to prevent impurity accumulation from affecting the heat dissipation effect and ensure that the gear transmission system operates at an appropriate temperature.

[0056] Furthermore, if the second gear 522 or the bearing member is damaged, only the corresponding component needs to be replaced, and there is no need to replace the entire support housing 54. This detachable design reduces the maintenance cost and the usage cost of the equipment. In addition, during the production process, the split housing structure can adopt different processing technologies and materials, and can be optimized according to actual needs, further reducing the production cost.

[0057] Furthermore, the detachable connection method between the first housing 543 and the second housing 544 makes the support housing 54 have a certain universality. According to different application scenarios and requirements, different specifications of the second gear 522 can be replaced or the type of bearing member can be adjusted to adapt to different transmission requirements, which improves the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment and reduces the equipment replacement cost.

[0058] Preferably, the first bearing member 545 includes a fixed groove provided in the first housing 543 and a bearing provided in the fixed groove, the second bearing member 546 includes a fixed groove provided in the second housing 544 and a bearing provided in the fixed groove, and rotating shafts corresponding to the bearings are respectively provided on both sides of the second gear 522. With this design, while ensuring the normal rotation of the second gear 522, the structure of the support housing 54 can be made more compact, which is beneficial to reducing the volume of the processor.

[0059] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, reinforcing rib members 547 are provided on both the inner and outer sides of the support housing 54 of this embodiment.

[0060] During the operation of the device, the support housing 54 is subjected to the forces generated by the rotation of the internal second gear 522 and various possible external loads. These forces will cause stress concentration in the support housing 54. The reinforcing rib member 547 can disperse these concentrated stresses over 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 housing, avoiding excessive stress concentration in a local area, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the support housing.

[0061] Preferably, the reinforcing rib member 547 is equivalent to adding an additional support structure to the support housing 54. From a mechanical perspective, it improves the bending and torsional resistance of the support housing. When the support housing is subjected to bending or torsional forces, the reinforcing rib can resist these deformation forces, keeping the support housing in its original shape and size, and ensuring that it can normally play the supporting role for components such as the second gear 522.

[0062] By setting the reinforcing rib member 547, the overall strength of the support housing 54 is significantly improved. This enables the support housing to withstand greater forces without deformation or damage, ensuring the normal operating environment for internal components such as the second gear 522. When the gears rotate at high speed or bear a large load, the stable structure of the support housing can prevent problems such as poor gear meshing caused by housing deformation, improving the reliability and stability of the entire transmission system.

[0063] Furthermore, the presence of the reinforcing rib effectively reduces the degree of deformation of the support housing when it is stressed. Whether it is due to internal pressure or external impact, the reinforcing rib can limit the deformation range of the housing.

[0064] Furthermore, setting the reinforcing rib can significantly improve the performance of the support housing without significantly increasing the material usage, thereby reducing the material cost.

[0065] Furthermore, the reinforcing rib member can be integrally formed with the housing during the manufacturing process of the support housing, such as through processes like casting and injection molding. This integrated manufacturing method not only improves production efficiency but also reduces subsequent assembly processes and manufacturing costs.

[0066] Preferably, the reinforcing rib member 547 includes a plurality of reinforcing rib ridges arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the support housing 54. One end of each reinforcing rib ridge extends to the central region of the support housing 54, and the other end extends to the side wall of the support housing 54. Appropriate designs can be selected according to actual needs.

[0067] Such as Figures 1 to 12As shown in the figure, an avoidance hole 21 for the transmission end 41 to pass through is provided on one side of the stirring barrel 2 of this embodiment. An outer bearing assembly 22 is provided outside the avoidance hole 21, and the transmission end 41 passes through the avoidance hole 21 and the bearing assembly 22 to be connected to the first gear 521.

[0068] Specifically, the bearing assembly is installed outside the avoidance 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 stirring barrel into rolling friction, greatly reducing the frictional force. This enables 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.

[0069] Furthermore, the setting of the avoidance hole enables the transmission end to pass through the wall of the stirring barrel smoothly, realizing the transmission of power from the outside to the inside. This design avoids complex external transmission structures, makes the structure of the entire stirring equipment more compact, reduces the space occupied by the equipment, and is conducive to installation and layout in a limited site; the bearing assembly is installed outside the avoidance hole, and is closely connected to the transmission end and the stirring barrel, further optimizing the overall structure and making the cooperation between various components more coordinated.

[0070] Furthermore, the bearing assembly converts sliding friction into rolling friction, significantly reducing the frictional force during transmission. The reduction of the frictional force means the reduction of energy loss, and the energy output by the power source can be more effectively transmitted to the stirring components, improving the transmission efficiency of the entire stirring system. This can not only save energy, but also enable the stirring components to obtain a more stable rotation speed and improve the stirring effect.

[0071] Furthermore, the bearing assembly can play a good supporting role for the transmission end, withstand various forces generated during transmission, and ensure the stable rotation of the transmission end. This helps to reduce the vibration and shaking of the transmission end, reduce the risk of damage to the equipment caused by vibration and shaking, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0072] Furthermore, the design that the transmission end is connected to the first gear through the avoidance hole and the bearing assembly makes the installation process of the equipment relatively simple. During installation, the bearing assembly can be installed outside the avoidance hole first, and then the transmission end can be passed through the bearing assembly and connected to the first gear. This modular installation method is convenient for operation.

[0073] Such as Figures 1 to 12As shown, the bearing assembly 22 of this embodiment includes a first connection housing 221 disposed on one side of the mixing barrel 2, a second connection housing 222 detachably connected to the first connection housing 221, and a third bearing 223 disposed between the first connection housing 221 and the second connection housing 222. The third bearing 223 is sleeved on the outside of the transmission end 41.

[0074] 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 and plays a crucial supporting role. When the transmission end 41 rotates, the inner ring of the third bearing 223 rotates together with the transmission end 41, while the outer ring remains relatively stationary. Through the rolling elements (such as balls or rollers) inside rolling between the inner and outer rings, the rotational movement of the transmission end 41 is stably transmitted, and at the same time, it bears the radial force and possibly existing axial force generated during the rotation of the transmission end 41, ensuring that the transmission end 41 can rotate smoothly and stably, so as to reliably transmit the power to subsequent components such as the first gear 521, driving the mixing components in the mixing barrel 2 to perform mixing operations.

[0075] Preferably, the first connection housing 221 is installed on one side of the mixing barrel 2, providing an installation foundation and a fixed position for the entire bearing assembly 22. The second connection housing 222 is detachably connected to the first connection housing 221. This detachable design facilitates the installation and disassembly of the third bearing 223. During installation, the third bearing 223 can be first placed in the corresponding position of the first connection housing 221, and then the second connection housing 222 is connected to the first connection housing 221 to fix the third bearing 223 between them; when maintenance, replacement or other operations on the third bearing 223 are required, only the second connection housing 222 needs to be disassembled, and the third bearing 223 can be conveniently taken out for processing; this makes the installation process simpler, and each component can be processed and pre-treated separately and then assembled on-site, reducing the installation difficulty and installation time. For example, at the installation site, the staff can first fix the first connection housing 221 on the mixing barrel 2, then accurately place the third bearing 223 in the first connection housing 221, and finally install the second connection housing 222 to complete the installation of the entire bearing assembly 22.

[0076] Furthermore, by firmly fixing the third bearing 223 to one side of the mixing barrel 2 through the first connecting housing 221 and the second connecting housing 222, it is possible to better ensure the coaxiality between the third bearing 223 and the transmission end 41, 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 operation stability and reliability of the entire mixing equipment, and ensure the consistency and stability of the mixing effect.

[0077] Furthermore, this detachable bearing assembly 22 design has a certain degree of scalability and versatility. If, during subsequent equipment upgrades or modifications, it is necessary to replace the third bearing 223 with different specifications or performance, only by appropriately adjusting or replacing the first connecting housing 221 and the second connecting housing 222 according to the size of the new bearing can the upgrade of the bearing assembly 22 be achieved, without the need for large-scale modification of the entire mixing equipment, reducing the cost and difficulty of equipment upgrades. At the same time, this design is also convenient for popularization and application in different models of mixing equipment, improving the versatility of equipment components.

[0078] Preferably, the second connecting housing 222 is provided with a groove for positioning and assembling the third bearing 223, which not only ensures the accurate assembly of the third bearing 223 but also makes the structure of the bearing assembly 22 more compact.

[0079] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, the bearing assembly 22 of this embodiment further includes a sealing member 224 provided in the first connecting housing 221, and the sealing member 224 is located between the third bearing 223 and the avoidance hole 21.

[0080] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, the mixing mechanism 4 of this embodiment includes a mixing shaft 42 and a plurality of mixing blades 43 spaced apart on the mixing shaft 42. An inclined surface 431 is provided on the surface of each mixing blade 43, so that while the mixing blade 43 can mix 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.

[0081] When the microbial food waste processor is started, the motor drives the mixing shaft 42 to rotate, and the plurality of mixing blades 43 mounted on the mixing shaft 42 rotate synchronously. During the mixing process, the mixing blades 43 will come into full contact with the food waste, stir, turn, and mix it, enabling the food waste to come into uniform contact with the microorganisms and promoting the decomposition of the food waste by the microorganisms.

[0082] Since the surface of each stirring blade 43 is provided with an inclined surface 431, during the rotation of the stirring blade 43, the kitchen waste attached to the stirring blade 43 will be affected by various forces such as gravity and centrifugal force generated during the stirring process. These forces will cause the kitchen waste to slide downward along the inclined surface 431 and finally slide off the stirring blade 43 and return to the kitchen waste in the stirring barrel 2 again.

[0083] The surface of traditional stirring blades is usually relatively flat, and kitchen waste is easy to adhere to and difficult to fall off by itself. However, in this embodiment, the design of the inclined surface 431 enables the kitchen waste to slide down along the inclined surface under the action of force, greatly reducing the residual amount of kitchen waste on the surface of the stirring blade 43. This helps to keep the stirring blade 43 clean, avoid the growth of bacteria and the generation of peculiar smells due to kitchen waste residues, improves the working environment of the processor, and also reduces the pollution of the surrounding air.

[0084] Moreover, in this embodiment, the inclined surface 431 reduces the kitchen waste residues, reduces the weight and running resistance of the stirring blade 43, thereby reducing the burden on the motor, lowering the energy consumption, improving the running efficiency of the stirring mechanism, and prolonging the service life of the equipment.

[0085] Furthermore, the residual kitchen waste will hinder the full contact between the newly input kitchen waste and the microorganisms, affecting the decomposition effect of the microorganisms. However, the inclined surface 431 enables the kitchen waste to slide off in time, ensuring the uniformity of stirring, allowing more kitchen waste to be fully mixed with the microorganisms, improving the decomposition efficiency of the microorganisms on the kitchen waste, and making the treatment of the kitchen waste more thorough.

[0086] The design of setting the inclined surface 431 on the surface of the stirring blade 43 is relatively simple, does not require large-scale transformation of the existing stirring mechanism, and has relatively low costs during the manufacturing and installation processes, with high practicability and popularization potential.

[0087] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, the inclined surface 431 of this embodiment inclines from the center of the stirring blade 43 towards both sides.

[0088] Preferably, since the inclined surface 431 inclines from the center of the stirring blade 43 towards both sides, the kitchen waste attached to the central position of the stirring blade 43 will slide towards both sides of the stirring blade 43 respectively under the action of the centrifugal force generated during rotation and the component force of its own gravity along the inclined surface.

[0089] For example, when the stirring blade 43 rotates, the centrifugal force will cause the kitchen waste to tend to move towards the edge of the stirring blade, and the guiding effect of the inclined surface 431 will guide the kitchen waste to move more smoothly from the center to both sides and finally slide off from both sides of the stirring blade 43 and return to the kitchen waste in the stirring barrel 2.

[0090] The design that slopes from the center of the stirring blade towards both sides enables kitchen waste to slide off the stirring blade quickly and evenly. This two-way sloping method can simultaneously discharge the kitchen waste at the center of the stirring blade to both sides, accelerating the speed at which the kitchen waste detaches from the stirring blade, improving the working efficiency of the stirring mechanism, and reducing the residence time of the kitchen waste on the stirring blade.

[0091] Furthermore, during the process of the kitchen waste sliding from the center of the stirring blade towards both sides, a more extensive distribution will be formed within the stirring barrel 2. The kitchen waste that was originally concentrated near the stirring blade is dispersed to different positions in the stirring barrel, further promoting the mixing uniformity of the kitchen waste within the stirring barrel. This helps the microorganisms to come into full contact with more kitchen waste, improving the decomposition effect of the kitchen waste.

[0092] Furthermore, by enabling the kitchen waste to slide from the center towards both sides, it avoids the excessive accumulation and friction of the kitchen waste at a certain local position on the stirring blade, making the wear of the stirring blade more uniform, extending the service life of the stirring blade, and reducing the equipment maintenance cost.

[0093] During the stirring process, a certain fluid environment will be formed around the stirring blade. The inclined surface 431 that slopes from the center towards both sides helps to improve the fluid flow characteristics around the stirring blade, reducing the resistance and turbulence during the stirring process, making the stirring process more stable, reducing the energy consumption, and improving the overall performance of the stirring mechanism.

[0094] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, the shape of the stirring blade 43 in this embodiment is in the shape of a water droplet or a prismoid.

[0095] Preferably, the head of the water-droplet-shaped stirring blade 43 is relatively pointed, and the resistance when cutting into the material during the stirring process is small. When the stirring blade rotates, the pointed head first contacts the material, and then along the arc surface of the water droplet, the material will flow along the arc trajectory. This is because during rotation, a certain fluid field will be formed around the stirring blade, and the water-droplet shape conforms to the flow characteristics of the fluid, which can guide the material to flow orderly, thus realizing the stirring of the material.

[0096] The rotation of the stirring blade generates centrifugal force, and the material will spread from the center of the stirring blade towards the edge. The water-droplet-shaped stirring blade can better guide the material from the central part to the edge, enabling the material to form a circulating flow within the container and enhancing the stirring effect.

[0097] Furthermore, its smooth arc design is not prone to having the material adhere to the surface of the stirring blade, reducing the possibility of material accumulation and ensuring the continuous effectiveness of the stirring.

[0098] Furthermore, its stirring of materials is relatively gentle and is suitable for materials that are sensitive to structural destruction, such as materials containing biologically active ingredients, and can maintain the original properties of the materials as much as possible during the stirring process.

[0099] Preferably, the edges of the prism-shaped stirring blades can cut and tear the material during the rotation process. When the stirring blades come into contact with the material, the edges will break larger material blocks into smaller particles. At the same time, the side of the stirring blades will push the material to move in a circular motion in the container, so that the material is continuously mixed.

[0100] The irregular prismatic shape will destroy the original laminar flow of the material and form turbulence during the mixing process. Turbulence can fully mix the material in all directions and improve the uniformity of mixing.

[0101] For hard or lumpy materials, the cutting action of the edges can quickly break them up and improve the mixing efficiency. It is especially suitable for processing materials containing solid particles.

[0102] The formation of turbulence makes the materials in the container mixed more fully, avoids the situation of uneven mixing of local materials, and ensures the stability of product quality.

[0103] The prism-like structure is relatively stable, can withstand greater torque and impact force, is suitable for high-intensity mixing work, and extends the service life of the mixing blade.

[0104] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, a connecting assembly 44 is provided between the stirring blade 43 and the stirring shaft 42 in this embodiment to enable the two to be detachably connected.

[0105] Preferably, the detachable connection assembly usually has various forms, and several common forms are listed below and their working principles are explained: (1) Snap-on connection: The snap-on connection assembly generally consists of a block on the stirring blade and a slot on the stirring shaft. When installing the stirring blade, align the block on the stirring blade with the slot on the stirring shaft, and then apply a certain pressure to make the block snap into the slot. There is a specific structure inside the slot, such as an elastic protrusion or a limit groove, which can firmly fix the block in the slot to prevent the stirring blade from falling off during rotation. When disassembling, the block is separated from the slot by pressing or prying a specific unlocking part. The principle of this connection method is based on the coordination and elastic deformation of the mechanical structure, and uses the interaction between the block and the slot to achieve connection and disassembly.

[0106] (2) Bolt and nut connection: Corresponding mounting holes are respectively provided on the stirring blade and the stirring shaft. Bolts are passed through these mounting holes and then tightened with nuts. The threaded fit between the bolts and the nuts generates a pre-tightening force, which tightly fixes the stirring blade on the stirring shaft. During the stirring process, this pre-tightening force can ensure the relative position stability between the stirring blade and the stirring shaft and transmit the torque required for stirring.

[0107] During disassembly, simply use a tool to loosen the nut and remove the bolt from the mounting hole, then the separation of the stirring blade and the stirring shaft can be achieved. Its working principle is based on the mechanical fastening effect of the thread.

[0108] (3)Key connection in combination with a locking nut Key grooves are machined on the stirring shaft, and corresponding key grooves are also provided in the inner hole of the stirring blade. The circumferential fixation between the stirring shaft and the stirring blade is achieved by inserting a flat key into the two key grooves, ensuring that the two can rotate synchronously and transmit torque. At the same time, a locking nut is used at the end of the stirring shaft for axial fixation to prevent the stirring blade from moving axially.

[0109] During installation, first place the flat key into the key groove of the stirring shaft, then slip the stirring blade onto the stirring shaft so that the key groove of the stirring blade aligns with the flat key, and finally tighten the locking nut. During disassembly, first loosen the locking nut, and then remove the stirring blade axially from the stirring shaft.

[0110] A suitable design can be selected according to actual needs.

[0111] Specifically, during the long-term use of the stirring blade, it will be affected by wear, corrosion, etc. of the material, resulting in a decline in its performance. When the stirring blade is damaged or severely worn, through the detachable connection assembly, the stirring blade can be conveniently and quickly removed from the stirring shaft for repair or replacement without disassembling and replacing the entire stirring device, greatly shortening the repair time and reducing the repair cost.

[0112] For different stirring tasks, stirring blades of different shapes, sizes or materials may be required. The detachable connection makes it simple to replace the stirring blade, and the configuration of the stirring device can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, improving the versatility and adaptability of the equipment.

[0113] Moreover, during the transportation of the equipment, separating the stirring blade and the stirring shaft for transportation can reduce the overall volume and weight of the equipment, lower the transportation difficulty and cost. At the same time, it can also avoid damage caused by the shaking or collision of the stirring blade during transportation.

[0114] At the installation site, the detachable design makes the installation process more convenient. The stirring shaft can be first installed on the equipment main body, and then the stirring blade can be installed on the stirring shaft through the connection assembly, reducing the installation difficulty and complexity.

[0115] Since the stirring blades and the stirring shaft can be stored and managed separately, enterprises are more flexible in inventory management. They do not need to reserve a large number of complete stirring devices to deal with the damage of the stirring blades, but only need to reserve a certain number of stirring blades. This can reduce the funds and space occupied by inventory and lower the inventory cost of enterprises.

[0116] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, the connecting component 44 of this embodiment includes a plurality of first connecting holes 441 provided on the stirring shaft 42, and a connecting section 432 capable of connecting with the corresponding first connecting hole 441 is provided at the tail end of each stirring blade 43.

[0117] 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. Usually, there is a certain fit tolerance between the connecting section 432 and the first connecting hole 441 to ensure that the two can be closely combined. A certain external force can be applied manually or with the aid of simple tools to insert the connecting section 432 into the first connecting hole 441. After insertion, the connection stability may be ensured by interference fit, friction force or further fixing measures (such as bolts, pins, etc. that may be used subsequently), so that the stirring shaft 42 can transmit torque to the stirring blade 43 when rotating, driving the stirring blade 43 to rotate together to achieve the stirring function.

[0118] 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 force or interference force between the connecting section 432 and the first connecting hole 441, and pull out the connecting section 432 from the first connecting hole 441. If additional fixing measures such as bolts and pins are also used, these fixing components need to be removed first before the pulling-out operation.

[0119] The design of this kind of connecting component is relatively simple. It only needs to set the first connecting holes 441 on the stirring shaft 42 and the 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 also makes the installation and disassembly processes easier to understand and operate, without the need for professional technicians and complex tools.

[0120] In some other embodiments, the setting of the plurality of first connecting holes 441 provides a certain adjustability for the installation of the stirring blade 43. The stirring blade 43 can be installed by selecting the first connecting holes 441 at different positions according to the actual stirring requirements, so as to adjust the distribution and angle of the stirring blade 43 on the stirring shaft 42 to achieve a better stirring effect. For example, when dealing with materials of different viscosities and densities, the installation position of the stirring blade 43 can be adjusted to optimize the stirring uniformity and efficiency.

[0121] Furthermore, due to the simple structure and few components of the connecting component, the inspection and maintenance work is relatively easy during daily maintenance. If the connecting section 432 or the first connecting hole 441 shows slight wear or damage, these components can be repaired or replaced individually without replacing the entire stirring shaft 42 or the stirring blade 43, reducing the maintenance cost.

[0122] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, the connecting component 44 of this embodiment further includes a second connecting hole 442 provided on the connecting section 432, a third connecting hole 443 provided on the stirring shaft 42, and a connecting piece 444. The connecting piece 444 can pass through the third connecting hole 443 and be connected to the second connecting hole 442.

[0123] First, insert the connecting section 432 at the 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.

[0124] When the second connecting hole 442 is accurately aligned with the third connecting hole 443, insert the connecting piece 444 through the third connecting hole 443 and into the second connecting hole 442. The connecting piece 444 can be a bolt, a pin, etc. If a bolt is used, a nut is also required for fastening. By tightening the nut, an axial tension is generated on the connecting piece 444 to tightly connect the connecting section 432 of the stirring blade 43 with the stirring shaft 42, thereby realizing a reliable connection between the stirring shaft 42 and the stirring blade 43. When the stirring shaft 42 rotates, the connecting piece 444 can effectively transmit torque and drive the stirring blade 43 to rotate together to complete the stirring operation.

[0125] If it is necessary to disassemble the stirring blade 43, in the case of using bolt connection, it is necessary to first use a tool (such as a wrench or a screwdriver, etc.) to loosen the nut, and then remove the bolt from the third connecting hole 443 and the second connecting hole 442. In the case of using pin connection, a special tool can be used to pull out the pin from the hole.

[0126] After the connecting piece 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 to realize the separation of the stirring blade 43 from the stirring shaft 42.

[0127] By connecting the connecting piece 444 through the third connecting hole 443 and the second connecting hole 442, a more reliable connection strength can be provided compared to simply relying on interference fit or frictional connection. During the stirring process, the stirring shaft 42 will bear a large torque and vibration. This connection method can effectively prevent the stirring blade 43 from loosening or falling off the stirring shaft 42, ensure the stable operation of the stirring device, and improve the safety and reliability of the equipment.

[0128] The settings of the second connecting hole 442 and the third connecting hole 443 provide precise positioning for the installation of the stirring blade 43. During installation, only when the two holes are accurately aligned can the connecting piece 444 pass through smoothly, 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.

[0129] The connecting piece 444 is usually a standardized component, such as common bolts, pins, etc., with high versatility. In different stirring equipment or different specifications of stirring shafts and stirring blades, as long as the sizes and specifications of the connecting holes match, the same type of connecting piece 444 can be used for connection.

[0130] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, the third connecting hole 443 of this embodiment is a counterbore, and the head of the connecting piece 444 can be hidden in the counterbore.

[0131] During the operation of the stirring equipment, there may be other components or material flows around. If the head of the connecting piece 444 protrudes from the surface of the stirring shaft 42, it is very easy to interfere with the surrounding components, such as scraping against the inner wall of the stirring tank, colliding with other auxiliary equipment, etc. This will not only affect the normal operation of the stirring equipment but also may cause component damage. Hiding the head of the connecting piece 444 in the counterbore can effectively avoid this interference situation and improve the safety and stability of the equipment operation.

[0132] During the stirring process, the flow state of the material is crucial for the stirring effect. The protruding head of the connecting piece may disrupt the normal flow of the material, forming unnecessary vortices or dead corners, which affects the mixing uniformity of the material. The counterbore design enables the head of the connecting piece not to affect the flow path of the material, and the material can flow more smoothly around the stirring shaft and the stirring blade, thus ensuring the uniformity and efficiency of the stirring effect.

[0133] The head of the connecting piece is hidden in the counterbore, making the surface of the stirring shaft smoother and reducing the possibility of material residue. When cleaning the stirring shaft, without the protruding head blocking, it is easier to conduct a comprehensive and thorough cleaning, which can effectively avoid problems such as material residue breeding bacteria, etc., and ensure the hygienic safety of the production process.

[0134] Visually, the counterbore design makes the surface of the stirring shaft cleaner and more beautiful. This design can enhance the overall image of the equipment and meet the user's requirements for the aesthetics of the equipment.

[0135] As Figures 1 to 12As shown in the figure, a filtering component 6 is provided on one side of the housing 1 of this embodiment. An air flow channel 11 that communicates with both the filtering component 6 and the stirring barrel 2 is provided inside the housing 1. The air flow channel 11 is located in the upper region of the filtering component 6. An air suction component 7 is also provided inside the housing 1. An air suction hole 61 is provided at a position near the bottom of the side wall of the filtering component 6. The air suction end of the air suction component 7 is connected to the air suction hole 61. The housing 1 is provided with an air outlet channel 12. The air outlet end of the air suction component 7 communicates with the air outlet channel 12. The air suction component 7 can suck the air inside the stirring barrel 2 through the filtering component 6. After the air is filtered by filtering materials such as activated carbon inside the filtering component 6, the air suction component 7 discharges the filtered air through the air outlet channel 12; Since the air flow channel 11 is located in the upper region of the filtering component 6, and the air suction hole 61 is located at a position near the bottom of the side wall of the filtering component 6, after the air enters from the upper part of the filtering component 6, it will flow downward under the guidance of the suction force, passing through the filtering materials such as activated carbon filled inside the filtering component 6. These filtering materials can adsorb and filter pollutants such as odors, dust, and harmful microorganisms in the air. The air after filtration and purification is sucked into the air suction component 7 from the air suction hole 61, and then discharged to the outside of the housing 1 through the air outlet end of the air suction component 7 via the air outlet channel 12.

[0136] In this design, the air flow enters from the upper part of the filtering component 6 and flows to the air suction hole 61 at the bottom, which can make the air flow through as many parts inside the filtering component 6 as possible, enabling the filtering materials such as activated carbon inside the filtering component 6 to fully contact the air, thereby more comprehensively filtering and adsorbing the pollutants in the air and greatly improving the filtering effect.

[0137] Since the air flow evenly flows through the entire filtering component 6, it avoids the situation where local filtering materials quickly become saturated and ineffective due to overuse. This can extend the overall service life of the filtering materials, reduce the frequency of replacing the filtering materials, and lower the usage cost.

[0138] When the air flow can evenly flow through the filtering component 6, the distribution of pollutants inside the filtering component 6 will be more uniform, and it is not easy to have the problem of blockage caused by excessive accumulation of pollutants in a local area. This helps to keep the air flow channel unobstructed, enables the air suction component 7 to work stably, reduces equipment failures caused by blockage, and improves the stability and reliability of the entire microbial kitchen waste processor.

[0139] Since the filtering component 6 is not easily blocked, the maintenance cycle of the equipment can be extended accordingly, and the maintenance workload and maintenance cost will also be reduced. At the same time, extending the service life of the filtering materials further reduces the operating cost of the equipment.

[0140] By improving the filtration effect, pollutants such as odors, dust, and harmful microorganisms in the air can be removed more effectively, making the air discharged to the outside cleaner and meeting environmental protection requirements. This helps reduce pollution to the surrounding environment and protect the ecological environment and people's health.

[0141] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, the filter assembly 6 of this embodiment is detachably connected to the housing 1.

[0142] Specifically, as the usage time increases, the filter material (such as activated carbon) in the filter assembly 6 will gradually become saturated by adsorption, and its filtration effect will decline accordingly. When it is necessary to replace the filter assembly 6, since the filter assembly 6 and the housing 1 adopt a detachable connection structure, the user can separate the filter assembly 6 from the housing 1 through specific disassembly methods, such as unfastening the buckle, unscrewing the screw, etc. (the specific method depends on the actual connection method used). Then, a new filter assembly 6 is installed on the housing 1 to restore the normal operation of the device, so as to ensure the continuous effectiveness of the air filtration function.

[0143] The filter material in the filter assembly 6 needs to be replaced after being used for a period of time. The detachable connection structure makes this operation very simple. The user does not need to perform complex disassembly on the entire device. Just detach the filter assembly 6 alone, and then the filter material inside can be conveniently replaced, greatly saving maintenance time and effort.

[0144] In addition to replacing the filter material, dust and dirt will also accumulate inside and on the surface of the filter assembly 6 after long-term use. The detachable design allows the user to remove the filter assembly 6 for thorough cleaning, ensuring good performance and hygiene conditions of the filter assembly 6, and further improving the service life and filtration effect of the device.

[0145] When there is a problem with the filter assembly 6 or the filtration effect is not good, the user only needs to replace the filter assembly 6 itself, rather than replacing the entire device. This avoids the replacement of the entire device due to local damage, greatly reducing the usage cost.

[0146] The detachable connection structure allows the user to select different types and specifications of filter assemblies 6 or filter materials according to actual needs and different usage scenarios. For example, when dealing with kitchen waste with a strong odor, an activated carbon filter assembly with stronger adsorption performance can be selected; when used in an environment with higher air quality requirements, a filter assembly with higher filtration accuracy can be selected. This flexibility enables the user to meet diverse usage needs at a lower cost.

[0147] With the continuous development of technology and the changing needs of users, filtration technology is also constantly evolving. The detachable connection structure enables the device to easily adapt to new types of filter components 6, allowing users to upgrade the filtration function of the device at any time to meet different filtration requirements and environmental protection standards, thus extending the service life and scope of application of the device.

[0148] Timely replacement of the filter component 6 can ensure that the device always has good filtration performance, continuously and effectively remove pollutants such as odors, dust, and harmful microorganisms in the air, and provide users with a clean and healthy usage environment. Especially when dealing with kitchen waste, it can effectively reduce the emission of odors and improve the indoor air quality.

[0149] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, the filter component 6 of this embodiment includes a box body 62 and a top pull cover 63 detachably connected to the box body 62.

[0150] When the filter material reaches saturation or fails after being used for a period of time, since the top pull cover 63 is detachably connected to the box body 62, users can open the top pull cover 63 to directly access the filter material inside the box body 62. Remove the old filter material, replace it with a new one, and then reinstall the top pull cover 63 onto the box body 62 to restore the normal filtration function of the filter component 6 and ensure continuous effective purification of the air.

[0151] The detachable design of the top pull cover 63 makes the operation of replacing the filter material extremely simple. Users do not need complex tools or professional skills. They only need to open the pull cover to directly replace the filter material, greatly reducing the difficulty and time cost of replacing the filter material.

[0152] After opening the top pull cover 63, users can easily inspect the inside of the box body 62 to check for the accumulation of foreign objects, the usage status of the filter material, etc. Timely discovery and handling of problems help ensure the normal operation of the filter component 6.

[0153] Users can choose different types and specifications of filter materials according to actual needs and different usage scenarios. For example, for different odor components, activated carbon with different adsorption characteristics can be selected; for dust with different particle sizes, filter cotton with different filtration precisions can be selected. By conveniently replacing the filter material after replacing the top pull cover 63, the filter component 6 can better meet various complex filtration requirements.

[0154] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, one side of the housing 1 of this embodiment is provided with an assembly hole 13 capable of assembling the box body 62. When the box body 62 is assembled into the assembly hole 13, the outer side surface of the box body 62 has the same curvature as the outer side surface of the housing 1.

[0155] When installing the box body 62 of the filtering component, the operator aligns the box body 62 with the assembly hole 13 on one side of the housing 1 and assembles the box body 62 into the assembly hole 13 by a certain method (such as direct insertion, snap connection, etc.). Since the shape of the box body 62, the dimensions and positions of the assembly hole 13, etc. have been accurately planned in the design stage, after the box body 62 is installed in place, its outer side surface can be consistent with the arc of the outer side surface of the housing 1. In this way, in terms of the overall appearance, the box body 62 of the filtering component is like a part of the housing 1, achieving a seamless connection in terms of shape between the two.

[0156] The outer side surface of the box body 62 is consistent with the arc of the outer side surface of the housing 1, making the appearance of the entire microbial kitchen waste processor look smoother and more unified. It avoids the abrupt feeling caused by the mismatch between the shape of the box body 62 and the housing 1, improves the overall aesthetics of the product, and better meets the aesthetic needs of consumers for the product appearance.

[0157] If the arc of the outer side surface of the box body 62 is inconsistent with the arc of the outer side surface of the housing 1, raised or sunken parts may be formed. These parts are likely to cause bumps during personnel activities, resulting in personal injuries or product damage. The design with consistent arcs between the two eliminates these potential dangers, makes the product surface flatter, and reduces safety hazards.

[0158] The flat and unified outer surface is not easy to accumulate dust and dirt. Compared with the surface with protrusions or depressions, it is more difficult for dust and sundries to adhere to the outer surface with consistent arcs, which is convenient for daily cleaning and maintenance, and also helps to maintain the hygiene of the product.

[0159] When the box body 62 is assembled into the assembly hole 13 and the outer side surface is consistent with the arc of the outer side surface of the housing 1, it indicates that the fitting accuracy between the two is relatively high. This tight fitting relationship can enhance the connection stability between the box body 62 and the housing 1 and reduce the possibility of the box body 62 loosening or shifting due to factors such as vibration and shaking during use.

[0160] The design with consistent arcs helps the product to distribute stress more evenly on the box body 62 and the housing 1 when subjected to external forces. It avoids structural damage caused by local stress concentration and improves the overall structural strength and reliability of the product.

[0161] The design with the same arc of the outer side surface of the box body 62 and the housing 1 makes the product more compact in overall shape and will not occupy too much space due to the extra protrusion of the box body 62. This is particularly important for places with limited space (such as small kitchens) and can make more effective use of space resources.

[0162] During the placement and transportation of the product, the compact and unified shape makes the product easier to place and stack, reduces the occupied space volume, and improves the efficiency of transportation and storage.

[0163] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, a handle groove 621 is provided on the outer side of the box body 62 of this embodiment, which is convenient for the user to lift the filtering component 6 or the processor, and has the advantages of simple structure and convenient operation.

[0164] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, a hook 622 is provided in the handle groove 621 of this embodiment. The hook 622 can be used to hang parts such as a shovel, and the shovel can be used to shovel kitchen waste in the stirring barrel 2.

[0165] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, an air outlet 15 corresponding to the output port of the air outlet passage 12 is provided on the bottom side wall of the housing 1 of this embodiment, so as to form an effect of blowing air from the bottom side.

[0166] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, an air flow circulation disk 8 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1 of this embodiment, which is located below the air outlet passage 12 and is respectively communicated with the air outlet passage 12 and the air outlet 15. The air flow circulation disk 8 can change the air flow direction blown out by the air outlet passage 12, so that the air flow circulates in it, and the air flow is discharged from the air outlet 15, so as to form an effect of blowing air from the bottom side.

[0167] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, the filtering component 6 of this embodiment further includes an ozone generator provided in the air flow passage 11 and a UV lamp located above the air flow circulation disk 8.

[0168] Preferably, when the air flow passes through the air outlet passage 12, it is introduced into the air flow circulation disk 8 instead of being directly discharged from the air outlet 15, and the air flow circulates in the air flow circulation disk 8, changing its original flow direction, and finally being discharged from the air outlet 15, forming an effect of blowing air from the bottom side.

[0169] A UV lamp structure is provided in the air outlet passage 12. By utilizing the delay of the air flow in the air flow circulation disk 8, the time for the UV lamp to irradiate the air is increased, thereby improving the sterilization and purification effect on the air.

[0170] The ozone generator is located in the air flow passage 11, and further purifies the air by generating ozone to remove odors and harmful gases.

[0171] Preferably, casters 14 are provided at the bottom of the housing 1 for easy movement.

[0172] Preferably, a flip cover 16 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1, and the flip cover 16 can be opened or closed on the housing 1 manually or automatically.

[0173] The above only further illustrates the technical content of the present invention with examples for the convenience of readers to understand more easily, but it does not mean that the implementation manners of the present invention are limited thereto. Any technical extension or re-creation made according to the present invention is protected by the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the claims.
