Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of waste disposal technology, specifically relating to a kitchen waste disposer. Background Technology

[0002] Food waste is a significant component of urban household waste, accounting for 40%-60% of the total. Its main components include starch, dietary fiber, protein, and oil, and it is characterized by high salt content, high oil content, and easy decomposition and foul odor. Furthermore, it is produced in large quantities and is dispersed widely. Due to these characteristics, food waste is highly susceptible to the growth of harmful organisms, making it difficult to treat.

[0003] Current waste disposal methods mainly include landfill, composting, and incineration, but all have significant shortcomings. Landfilling requires sites far from urban areas and must meet specific topographical and geological requirements to prevent surface and groundwater pollution; however, site selection is difficult, transportation distances are long, and large-scale implementation is challenging. Composting may cause groundwater pollution due to heavy metal residues, and market acceptance is low, making it difficult to form a stable industrial chain. While incineration can effectively reduce waste volume, it requires high initial investment, demands high calorific value from the waste, and may generate new air pollutants, while also wasting some valuable components.

[0004] Therefore, how to scientifically and efficiently dispose of kitchen waste remains a pressing problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] like Figures 1-11As shown, the present invention provides a kitchen waste disposer, comprising a base 1, a housing 2, and a top seat 3. The base 1 is fixedly connected to the top seat 3 via the housing 2. A cover 4 is movably mounted on the top seat 3. A support 5 is fixedly mounted on the base 1. A drive motor 7 is fixedly mounted on the support 5 via a motor seat 6. A heating plate 8 is fixedly mounted on the support 5. An outer bucket 9 is fixedly mounted on the heating plate 8. A crushing bucket 10 is placed inside the outer bucket 9. A crushing blade 11 is movably mounted on the crushing bucket 10. The drive motor 7 drives the crushing blade 11 via a connecting mechanism 12. A collection box 13 is fixedly mounted on the housing 2. The top seat 3 is movably connected to the cover 4 via a connecting seat 14. The connecting seat 14, located above the collection box 13, has a first guide opening 15. The top seat 3 has a guide groove 16. The guide groove 16, located above the collection box 13, has a second guide opening 17. The top seat 3 has a ventilation hole 18. The housing 2 has a filter box 19. An exhaust fan 20 is fixedly mounted between the ventilation hole 18 and the filter box 19. A top seat 3 is fixedly mounted with an additive box 21. The additive box 21 has a protruding shell 22, and a nozzle 23 is fixedly mounted on the protruding shell 22. A feeding port 24 is provided on the top of the protruding shell 22, and a sealing cover 25 is fixedly mounted on the feeding port 24. The connecting mechanism 12 includes a first connecting member 26 and a second connecting member 27. The first connecting member 26 engages with the second connecting member 27. The first connecting member 26 is driven and connected to the drive motor 7, and the second connecting member 27 is fixedly connected to the crusher blade 11. A thermocouple 28 is fixedly mounted on the heating plate 8. An ultraviolet lamp 29 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the cover 4. A support rod 30 is fixedly mounted between the base 1 and the top seat 3. The cover 4 is provided with a hook 31, and a linear motor 32 is fixedly mounted on the top seat 3. The linear motor 32 is driven and connected to a clamp 33.

[0035] Through the above technical solution, the present invention uses a motor to drive the crushing blades 11 inside the crushing barrel 10 to crush kitchen waste, and at the same time activates the heating plate 8 to dry the kitchen waste with a water seal, so that the processed kitchen waste is dry, its volume is reduced, it prevents the kitchen waste from smelling bad, it is easy to transfer and dispose of, reduces environmental pollution, and improves environmental protection.

[0036] The present invention is provided with an auxiliary agent box 21, which is used to hold deodorizing agent. During the process of processing kitchen waste, the auxiliary agent box 21 sprays the deodorizing agent into the crushing bucket 10 through the nozzle, and crushes and mixes it together with the kitchen waste to reduce the odor of kitchen waste and improve indoor air quality.

[0037] The present invention includes a filter box 19. During the process of processing kitchen waste, especially during the drying process, the exhaust fan 20 is started to draw the turbid air inside the machine into the filter box 19 through the ventilation hole 18. The filter box 19 adsorbs the odor molecules and water vapor in the turbid air, preventing odor molecules and water vapor from polluting the indoor air and improving the indoor air quality.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] like Figures 1-11As shown, the present invention includes a base 1, a housing 2, and a top seat 3. The base 1 is fixedly connected to the top seat 3 via the housing 2, forming an integral frame structure. A cover 4 is movably mounted on the top seat 3 for opening and closing the dispensing port. A support 5 is fixedly mounted on the base 1, serving as the mounting base for internal components. A drive motor 7 is fixedly mounted on the support 5 via a motor mount 6, which serves to fix and support the motor. A heating plate 8 is also fixedly mounted on the support 5, located on the upper part of the support 5. An outer barrel 9 is fixedly mounted on the heating plate 8, the outer barrel 9 being cylindrical and tightly fitted to the heating plate 8. A crushing barrel 10 is placed inside the outer barrel 9; the crushing barrel 10 is detachable for easy cleaning. A crushing blade 11 is movably mounted inside the crushing barrel 10, the crushing blade 11 being multi-bladed. The drive motor 7 is connected to the crushing blade 11 via a connecting mechanism 12, which includes a drive shaft and a coupling, to achieve power transmission. A sludge collection box 13 is fixedly installed on the housing 2. The sludge collection box 13 is located in the middle of the housing 2 and is used to collect the sewage and residue splashed during the treatment process.

[0040] To use, open the lid 4 and pour the kitchen waste into the shredder 10. After closing the lid 4, start the drive motor 7. The motor drives the shredder 11 to rotate at high speed through the connecting mechanism 12, chopping the waste. At the same time, turn on the heating plate 8 to heat and dry the shredded waste, reducing its moisture content, shrinking its volume, preventing the kitchen waste from smelling bad, facilitating its transfer and disposal, reducing environmental pollution, and improving environmental protection.

[0041] This kitchen waste disposer has a compact structure and a rational layout of its components. The base 1, housing 2, and top mount 3 form a sturdy outer shell, protecting the internal components. The support 5 serves as the mounting base for the core components, providing stable support. The drive motor 7, shredder 11, and heating plate 8 form an organically coordinated processing system, efficiently processing kitchen waste. The outer bin 9 and shredder bin 10 create a double-layer processing space, facilitating cleaning and maintenance. The overall design balances functionality and practicality, enabling fast and efficient processing of daily kitchen waste, reducing waste volume, and facilitating subsequent processing. The processing is conducted in a closed system, effectively controlling odor diffusion and improving the kitchen's hygiene environment.

[0042] Example 3:

[0043] like Figures 1-11As shown, the top seat 3 of the present invention is movably connected to the cover 4 via a connecting seat 14. The connecting seat 14 adopts a hinge structure, enabling the cover 4 to open and close stably. The connecting seat 14 is located directly above the sludge collection box 13 and is provided with a first guide port 15 for guiding the sewage dripping into the sludge collection box 13. During use, the crushing blade 11 rotates at high speed to crush the waste. Due to centrifugal force, some fine particles and liquids will splash onto the inside of the cover 4. When the cover 4 is opened after processing, the sewage adhering to the inside of the cover 4 will flow along the surface of the cover 4 under the action of gravity. This sewage will collect at the connecting seat 14 and then drip into the sludge collection box 13 below through the first guide port 15. This design utilizes the principle of gravity to guide the sewage on the cover 4 to a fixed position. The setting of the first guide port 15 allows the sewage to drip precisely into the sludge collection box 13, avoiding secondary pollution caused by sewage flowing everywhere. At the same time, this design also facilitates cleaning and maintenance. Operators only need to clean the sludge collection box 13 periodically, without having to frequently wipe the cover 4 and the top seat 3.

[0044] Example 4:

[0045] like Figures 1-11 As shown, the top seat 3 of the present invention is provided with a guide groove 16, which is distributed in a ring on the inner side of the top seat 3. The cross-section of the guide groove 16 is U-shaped to facilitate the flow of liquid. A second guide port 17 is provided at the bottom of the guide groove 16 and directly above the collection box 13 to guide the liquid collected in the guide groove 16 to the collection box 13. During the waste disposal process, the high-speed rotation of the crushing blade 11 causes some liquid and fine particles to splash out of the crushing barrel 10. These splashes fall on the inner side of the top seat 3. The guide groove 16 is designed to collect these splashes. The liquid splashed onto the inner side of the top seat 3 automatically flows into the guide groove 16, then flows along the guide groove 16, and finally drips into the collection box 13 through the second guide port 17. The ring-shaped design of the guide groove 16 ensures that the splashes can be effectively collected no matter where they fall on the inner side of the top seat 3. The U-shaped groove structure increases the fluidity of the liquid and prevents the liquid from accumulating in the groove. The second inlet 17 ensures that the collected liquid drips precisely into the sludge collection box 13, preventing it from flowing everywhere. Effective collection of splashes reduces the risk of electrical short circuits caused by liquid accumulation. It also reduces the possibility of odor overflow during processing, improving the kitchen environment.

[0046] Example 5:

[0047] like Figures 1-11As shown, the present invention includes a top seat 3, a housing 2, and a base 1. The top seat 3 has a ventilation hole 18, and a filter box 19 is installed inside the housing 2. An exhaust fan 20 is fixedly installed between the ventilation hole 18 and the filter box 19. The ventilation hole 18 is located on the side of the top seat 3. The filter box 19 is installed on the upper inner side of the housing 2, near the ventilation hole 18. The filter box 19 is rectangular and filled with adsorbent materials such as activated carbon. The exhaust fan 20 is installed in the space between the ventilation hole 18 and the filter box 19 and is driven by a DC motor.

[0048] When the garbage disposal unit is working, especially during the heating and drying stage, a large amount of gas containing water vapor and odors is generated inside. After the exhaust fan 20 is activated, this gas is drawn out through the ventilation hole 18 using negative pressure. The gas is then forced into the filter box 19 after passing through the exhaust fan 20. Inside the filter box 19, materials such as activated carbon effectively adsorb odor molecules and moisture from the gas. The purified air is finally discharged from the air outlet on the housing 2.

[0049] This design effectively prevents odors from spreading into the indoor environment. Simultaneously, by removing water vapor, it reduces humidity inside the processor, inhibiting bacterial growth. The purified air discharged improves the surrounding air quality and enhances user comfort.

[0050] The airflow of the exhaust fan 20 can be adjusted according to actual needs. A lower airflow can be used in the initial stages of waste treatment; during the heating and drying stage, the airflow can be increased to expel water vapor more quickly. The filter box 19 features a detachable design, facilitating regular replacement of the internal adsorption material and ensuring long-term deodorization.

[0051] The ventilation system operates in conjunction with the main control system of the garbage disposal unit. When the internal temperature or humidity of the disposal unit exceeds a preset threshold, the exhaust fan 20 will automatically start. After processing is complete, the exhaust fan 20 will continue to run for a period of time to ensure that the gas inside the disposal unit is fully exhausted and purified.

[0052] To further enhance deodorization, various adsorption materials such as activated carbon fiber and molecular sieves can be added to the filter box 19. These materials have different adsorption properties and can target various odor molecules, thereby achieving a more comprehensive purification effect.

[0053] Ventilation vent 18 is equipped with a dust filter to prevent dust or foreign objects from entering the processor. The dust filter is removable for easy cleaning. A similar dust filter is also installed at the air outlet to prevent dust backflow. These thoughtful design details further enhance the cleanliness and hygiene of the equipment.

[0054] Example 6:

[0055] like Figures 1-11As shown, in this embodiment, the kitchen waste disposer has an additive box 21 fixedly installed on the top base 3. The lower part of the additive box 21 has a protruding shell 22 that protrudes downwards. A nozzle 23 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the protruding shell 22. The nozzle 23 sprays the additive into the crushing bin 10 below. The top of the protruding shell 22 has a circular feeding port 24. A sealing cap 25 is fixedly installed on the feeding port 24 to tightly seal it.

[0056] The auxiliary agent box 21 is used to store and add auxiliary substances such as deodorants. In use, open the sealing cap 25 and add liquid or powdered deodorant to the auxiliary agent box 21 through the feeding port 24. The deodorant can be a natural plant extract, such as lemon essential oil or tea tree essential oil, or a chemically synthesized deodorant.

[0057] During the waste disposal process, the control system controls the opening of nozzles 23 according to a preset program. When the amount of waste in the crushing bin 10 reaches a certain level, nozzles 23 automatically open, spraying deodorizer into the crushing bin 10. The spray pressure and angle of nozzles 23 are carefully designed to ensure that the deodorizer can evenly cover the surface of the waste. The deodorizer is thoroughly mixed with the kitchen waste, suppressing the generation of odors at the source.

[0058] This design offers higher deodorization efficiency compared to traditional post-treatment air handling methods. The deodorizer comes into direct contact with the waste, more effectively neutralizing or masking odors. Furthermore, because deodorization occurs at the initial stage of waste treatment, the amount of odorous gases generated is reduced, lessening the burden on subsequent air handling systems.

[0059] The design of the deodorizer dispenser 21 also takes into account the flexibility of use. By adjusting the parameters of the control system, the spraying amount and frequency of the deodorizer can be adjusted according to different types of waste. For example, for fish or meat waste with a strong odor, the amount of deodorizer can be increased; while for vegetable waste, it can be reduced appropriately.

[0060] Example 7:

[0061] like Figures 1-11As shown, the swivel mechanism 12 of the present invention includes a first connecting member 26 and a second connecting member 27. The first connecting member 26 is drivenly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 7, and the second connecting member 27 is fixedly connected to the crusher blade 11. The first connecting member 26 and the second connecting member 27 are connected by an engagement mechanism to form a flexible transmission structure. The first connecting member 26 is cylindrical, and its bottom is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 7. The top of the first connecting member 26 is provided with protruding engagement teeth, which are radially distributed. The bottom of the second connecting member 27 is provided with a groove that matches the engagement teeth of the first connecting member 26. When the two connecting members are engaged, the rotational power of the drive motor 7 can be effectively transmitted to the second connecting member 27, thereby driving the crusher blade 11 to rotate. This engagement design allows for angular deviations within a certain range. Even if slight positional errors occur during installation, or slight positional changes occur due to vibration during use, the swivel mechanism 12 can still ensure effective power transmission.

[0062] The function of the connecting mechanism 12 is to facilitate the disassembly and cleaning of the crushing barrel 10. When it is necessary to clean the crushing barrel 10, simply lift the crushing barrel 10 upwards, and the second connecting piece 27 will separate from the first connecting piece 26. This design greatly simplifies the cleaning and maintenance process and improves the maintainability of the equipment.

[0063] To ensure stable engagement, the contact surfaces of the first connector 26 and the second connector 27 are precision machined and surface-treated. The contact surfaces are made of wear-resistant materials, capable of withstanding long-term friction and impact. Simultaneously, an elastic element, such as a spring washer, is placed between the two connectors to compensate for any potential gaps and ensure smooth transmission.

[0064] To prevent sewage and debris from entering the union mechanism 12, a waterproof sealing structure is designed on the upper part of the second connector 27. This sealing structure adopts a labyrinth design, which can effectively block the intrusion of water and debris even under high-speed rotation. At the same time, a drain hole is provided at the bottom of the union mechanism 12, so that even if a small amount of liquid enters, it can be discharged in time to prevent water accumulation and corrosion.

[0065] Example 8:

[0066] like Figures 1-11As shown, a thermocouple 28 is fixedly installed on the heating plate 8 of this invention. The heating plate 8 is located at the bottom of the outer barrel 9 and is made of high-temperature resistant metal material with a smooth and flat surface. The thermocouple 28 is installed on the heating plate 8 and fits tightly against it to ensure accurate temperature measurement. The thermocouple 28 is a K-type thermocouple with a temperature measurement range of 0-1000℃, meeting the temperature monitoring requirements in the food waste treatment process. The thermocouple 28 is connected to the controller via wires to transmit real-time temperature data to the controller. The controller uses a PID control algorithm to adjust the input power of the heating plate 8 based on the temperature information fed back by the thermocouple 28. When the detected temperature is lower than the set value, the controller increases the power of the heating plate 8; when the temperature is higher than the set value, it decreases the power. Precise temperature control of the heating plate 8 is crucial to the effectiveness of food waste treatment. Appropriate heating temperature can accelerate the evaporation of moisture in the waste, reducing the volume and weight of the treated waste. At the same time, a stable heating temperature can also inhibit bacterial growth, slow down the rate of waste decomposition, and reduce odor generation. In addition, temperature control can prevent energy waste and potential safety hazards caused by overheating.

[0067] Example 9:

[0068] like Figures 1-11 As shown, an ultraviolet lamp 29 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cover 4 of this invention. The cover 4 is made of durable plastic material and is hollow inside, facilitating the installation of the ultraviolet lamp 29 and its associated circuitry. The ultraviolet lamp 29 is used to kill most microorganisms. To protect user safety, a safety switch is installed at the bottom of the cover 4. The ultraviolet lamp 29 can only be activated when the cover 4 is completely closed. In addition, a clear ultraviolet warning label is provided on the outside of the cover 4 to remind the user of precautions during use. When the user puts kitchen waste into the processor and closes the cover 4, the processing program begins to run. After the waste crushing and heating process is completed, the ultraviolet lamp 29 automatically turns on to deeply disinfect the processed waste. During ultraviolet irradiation, the stirring device inside the processor rotates slowly to ensure that the waste is evenly irradiated. This design significantly improves the disinfection effect and reduces dead zones. At the same time, the processor's exhaust system works continuously to promptly expel gases such as ozone generated during ultraviolet irradiation, preventing gas accumulation from corroding the equipment.

[0069] Example 10:

[0070] like Figures 1-11As shown, a support rod 30 is fixedly installed between the base 1 and the top seat 3 of the present invention. There are four support rods 30, located at the four corners of the processor. Each support rod 30 has a connecting seat 14 at both ends for fixed connection, which can be tightly connected to the base 1 and the top seat 3 by nuts. This design ensures the firmness of the connection and facilitates future maintenance and replacement. During installation, first, the lower end of the support rod 30 is fixed in the reserved mounting hole of the base 1, and then the top seat 3 is aligned with the upper end of the support rod 30 and tightened with nuts. To prevent the nuts from loosening, anti-loosening adhesive is also applied to the threads to ensure that there will be no loosening problem after long-term use. The main function of the support rod 30 is to improve the structural stability of the whole machine. During the waste treatment process, the high-speed rotation of the crushing mechanism will generate large vibrations. Without sufficient support, these vibrations may cause changes in the relative positions between the various parts of the equipment, affecting the treatment effect, and may even cause damage to the parts. By firmly connecting the base 1 and the top seat 3 with the support rod 30, vibration can be effectively suppressed and the relative positions of the various functional parts can be kept stable.

[0071] Example 11:

[0072] like Figures 1-11 As shown, the present invention includes a base 1, a housing 2, a top seat 3, and a cover 4. The base 1 is fixedly connected to the top seat 3 via the housing 2, forming the main frame of the processor. An openable cover 4 is movably mounted on the top seat 3 to close the processing chamber. A hook 31 is provided on the cover 4 as part of the locking mechanism. A linear motor 32 is fixedly mounted on the top seat 3, and the output shaft of the linear motor 32 is connected to a latch 33, driving the latch 33 to extend and retract. When it is necessary to lock the cover 4, the control system sends a command to the linear motor 32, which drives the latch 33 to extend outward. After extension, the latch 33 engages with the hook 31 on the cover 4, thus firmly locking the cover 4 onto the top seat 3. This locking method ensures that the cover 4 will not be accidentally opened during waste processing. When processing is complete and the cover 4 needs to be opened, the control system sends another command, and the linear motor 32 drives the latch 33 to retract, releasing the engagement with the hook 31, allowing the cover 4 to open freely. The design of this locking mechanism prioritizes safety. When the kitchen garbage disposal is working, the internal shredder blades 11 rotate at high speed. If the cover 4 accidentally opens, it could cause serious injury. This is especially true for curious children who might accidentally come into contact with the operating parts and get injured. By employing an electric locking mechanism, the cover 4 automatically locks after the disposal is started, effectively preventing such safety hazards.
