In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the kitchen waste treatment device provided in this embodiment can prevent the image collector 3 from being exposed to the working environment of the working cabin 2 of the kitchen waste treatment device as a whole, and at the same time reduce the temperature of the image collector 3 to prevent the function of the image collector 3 from failing due to high temperature. The kitchen waste treatment device mainly includes a body 1 and a working cabin 2 arranged in the body 1. The body 1 is provided with a switch door 10, and the switch door 10 is used to close or open the working cabin 2.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the working chamber 2 is a mixing chamber, which is used to crush and dry the kitchen waste. The working chamber 2 is a motor-driven mixing chamber, and a mixing shaft is arranged in the mixing chamber. The motor drives the mixing shaft of the working chamber 2 to rotate so that the kitchen waste in the chamber is fully crushed. At the same time, the working chamber 2 has a heating device to dry the liquid in the kitchen waste, so that the crushed product is dry and easy to be processed in the next step.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, a heat dissipation channel 101 is provided in the switch door 10, and the heat dissipation channel 101 is connected to the outside air through the vent 102, so that the hot air inside the working chamber 2 is exchanged with the cold air outside through the heat dissipation channel 101. The vent 102 includes a plurality of vent holes, through which sufficient air exchange is performed, and the vent holes with a smaller aperture can prevent larger foreign objects from entering the heat dissipation channel 101.

[0039] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, a kitchen waste treatment device provided in this embodiment is provided with an image collector 3 in the switch door 10, and an image collection port 103 is provided on the side of the switch door 10 close to the working cabin 2, and the image collector 3 obtains the image in the working cabin 2 through the image collection port 103. Specifically, the image collector 3 is arranged in the heat dissipation channel 101 in the switch door 10, and the image collection port 103 is arranged on the side of the heat dissipation channel 101 close to the working cabin 2. The image collector 3 is arranged in the heat dissipation channel 101 to reduce the exposed area of ​​the image collector 3, prevent the image collector 3 from being exposed to the working environment of the working cabin 2 as a whole, and prevent the image collector 3 from accumulating dirt and reducing the influence of the heat in the working cabin 2 on the image collector 3. In addition, the image collector 3 is arranged in the heat dissipation channel 101, so that the heat dissipation channel 101 connected with the inside and outside air can reduce the air temperature in the working environment of the image collector 3, and can achieve rapid cooling of the image collector 3, and prevent the image collector 3 from failing due to high temperature.

[0040] Preferably, the image collector 3 is a camera, and the image acquisition port 103 is rectangular. When the working chamber 11 is working, the camera is located at a higher position than the switch door 10, but still has a distance from the top of the switch door 10. When the working cabin 2 is working, it will heat and dry the kitchen waste to generate hot air. The heat density is low and it is easy to gather at the top of the working cabin 2. The height of the camera is controlled so that the camera can ensure the shooting effect while avoiding the top of the working cabin 2 where hot air is easy to gather, so as to minimize the impact of the camera on the hot air in the working cabin 2. The camera can capture the image of the working chamber 11 when it is working and transmit the image to the display device for the user to view. The display device can be a personal computer, a mobile phone, a TV, etc. By viewing the working image of the working cabin 2, the user can observe the working status and progress of the kitchen waste treatment at any time, respond to the changes in the working cabin 2 in time, and improve the user experience.

[0041] The switch door 10 is rotatably connected to the machine body 1 via a rotating shaft. Preferably, the switch door 10 is a horizontally rotating door that opens downward, and the switch door 10 is in a fully open state after rotating 90 degrees around the rotating shaft. The vents 102 are provided on two opposite side surfaces of the switch door 10 adjacent to the side where the rotating shaft is located. During the opening process of the switch door 10, the vents 102 are located on two opposite side surfaces respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft, and will never face the user, thereby preventing the hot air emitted from the vents 102 from contacting the user, thereby reducing the risk of the user being scalded by the hot air.

[0042] Of course, in other embodiments, the rotating shaft of the switch door 10 may also be set at the upper end, left side or right side of the switch door 10.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, an inner recess 108 is provided at one end of the switch door 10 away from the rotating shaft. When the user opens the switch door 10 , the user can insert his fingers into the inner recess 108 to facilitate the force to open the switch door 10 .

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, a cooling fan 401 and a speaker 402 are installed on both sides of the heat dissipation channel 101 in the door body, and the image collector 3 is arranged between the cooling fan 401 and the speaker 402. The cooling fan 401 on one side can speed up the exchange of hot and cold air, reduce the temperature of the heat dissipation channel 101, and help the image collector 3 to cool down quickly. The speaker 402 can be used for functions such as reminders when the working cabin 2 stops working, alarms when the working cabin 2 fails, and timed reminders during normal use, which are not limited here. At the same time, the speaker 402 is arranged on one side of the heat dissipation channel 101, close to the vent 102, so that the vent 102 can also be used as a sound outlet to improve the sound efficiency and sound clarity of the speaker 402.

[0045] Of course, in other embodiments, cooling fans 401 are installed on both sides of the heat dissipation channel 101 in the door body, and the image collector 3 is arranged between the two cooling fans 401. The cooling fans 401 on both sides can speed up the exchange of cold and hot air, reduce the temperature of the heat dissipation channel 101, and help the image collector 3 to cool down quickly. When the cooling fans 401 are working, the cooling fans 401 on one side can work alone, or the cooling fans 401 on both sides can work simultaneously.

[0046] like Figure 6 As shown, the switch door 10 includes a first shell 104 and a second shell 105 that are detachably connected, the first shell 104 is located on a side away from the working cabin 2, the second shell 105 is located on a side close to the working cabin 2, the first shell 104 and the second shell 105 are connected by folding edges, and a receiving cavity is formed between the first shell 104 and the second shell 105. At the same time, the heat dissipation channel 101 is arranged in the receiving cavity in the switch door 10, and the heat dissipation channel 101 is isolated from other spaces in the receiving cavity in the switch door 10.

[0047] Preferably, two enclosures are arranged at intervals on the inner wall of the second shell 105, and the two enclosures form the side walls of the heat dissipation channel 101. After the first shell 104 and the second shell 105 are assembled, the two enclosures located on the second shell 105 abut against the first shell 104, and the two enclosures, the first shell 104 and the second shell 105 together enclose the heat dissipation channel 101. In other embodiments of the present application, the enclosures may be arranged on the first shell 104 or on both the first shell 104 and the second shell 105 to enclose the heat dissipation channel 101.

[0048] Preferably, the heat dissipation channel 101 is an arc-shaped heat dissipation channel. There is an installation area for installing the image collector 3 in the middle of the arc-shaped heat dissipation channel, and the installation area is connected to the image acquisition port 103. When the switch door 10 is a horizontal axis swing door that opens downward, the arc-shaped heat dissipation channel helps to keep the vent 102 away from the image acquisition port 103 and close to the rotation axis of the switch door 10, so that when the switch door 10 is opened, the vent 102 is located on two opposite sides respectively connected to the two ends of the rotation axis, and will never face the user, and when the switch door 10 is opened, the vent 102 is at a sufficient distance from the user, further preventing the user from being scalded by hot air. At the same time, the arc-shaped heat dissipation channel extends the heat dissipation path, which can reduce the wind noise when the cooling fan 401 is working.

[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, the two opposite side walls of the middle section of the heat dissipation channel 101 are arranged in parallel to form an installation area. A rectangular ring structure 106 is arranged in the installation area. Preferably, the overall shape of the image collector 3 is a cuboid. When the image collector 3 is installed, the image collector 3 is placed in the ring structure 106, and the top and two adjacent sides of the image collector 3 are abutted against the top and two adjacent sides of the ring structure 106, so that the ring structure 106 can position the image collector 3, so that the collection center of the image collector coincides with the center of the image collection port. Optionally, after installation, the bottom of the image collector 3 is still a certain distance from the bottom of the ring structure 106. In order to prevent the image collector 3 from sliding downward due to gravity when working, a height-adjustable pad block is arranged between the bottom of the installation area and the bottom of the image collector 3. The top of the pad block abuts against the bottom of the image collector 3, providing support for the bottom of the image collector 3 and increasing the installation stability of the image collector 3.

[0050] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the axis of the stirring shaft of the working cabin 2 is at a preset angle with the horizontal plane, and the entrance of the kitchen waste in the working cabin 2 is higher than the exit of the kitchen waste, so that when the working cabin 2 crushes the kitchen waste, the kitchen waste will not fly out of the working cabin 2 due to rotation and splash on the door body of the switch door 10, and the crushed kitchen waste is located at the bottom of the working cabin 2 for the next step of processing. Optionally, the above preset angle is greater than 0° and less than 45°. Preferably, the above preset angle is 20°. The plane where the image acquisition port 103 is located is perpendicular to the axis of the stirring shaft of the working cabin 2, and the center of the image acquisition port 103 is located on the same straight line as the axis of the stirring shaft of the working cabin 2, and the acquisition center of the image acquisition device 3 coincides with the center of the image acquisition port 103. Under this structure, using the image acquisition device 3 for image acquisition can make the image acquisition device 3 face the working cabin 2 when working, and the image acquisition device 3 can completely collect the working environment image in the working cabin 2. At the same time, when the switch door 10 is opened, the image acquisition device 3 with a certain angle can collect the image of part of the working cabin 2.

[0051] Specifically, the switch door 10 is provided with an inclined surface 107 on one side close to the working cabin 2, the inclined surface 107 is perpendicular to the axis of the stirring shaft of the working cabin 2, and the image acquisition port 103 is located on the inclined surface 107. Preferably, the switch door 10 is provided with a triangular prism-shaped protrusion with a cavity inside and connected to the installation area in the switch door 10 on one side close to the working cabin 2, and the inclined surface 107 is located on the triangular prism-shaped protrusion. The annular structure 106 in the installation area is provided at the connection port between the triangular prism-shaped protrusion and the installation area. The image acquisition device 3 is positioned by the annular structure 106 in the installation area and installed in the cavity of the triangular prism-shaped protrusion, and the image acquisition device 3 acquires the image in the working cabin 2 through the image acquisition port 103 on the inclined surface 107. Preferably, the triangular prism-shaped protrusion is detachably provided on one side of the switch door 10 close to the working cabin 2, and the triangular prism-shaped protrusion can be removed when the switch door 10 is opened, so as to facilitate the maintenance and replacement of the image acquisition device 3 in the heat dissipation channel 101.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
