Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of garbage disposal equipment, in particular to a grinding ring and a garbage disposer. Background Art

[0002] In a garbage disposer, the kitchen waste is processed mainly by the cooperation of a grinding disc and a grinding ring to collide and rub, and the processed kitchen waste is discharged from the grinding ring.

[0003] However, the current discharge speed of kitchen waste inside the grinding ring is relatively slow, which affects the processing efficiency of the garbage disposer. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technology.

[0005] In view of this, in the first aspect, the utility model proposes a grinding ring, comprising: a ring body, on which a plurality of first grinding holes are provided, the area enclosed by the ring body is set as a grinding area, and the first grinding holes are connected to the grinding area; a flow guide member, located on the side of the ring body, along the circumference of the ring body, the first side of the flow guide member is connected to the ring body, and a discharge port is provided between the second side of the flow guide member and the outer ring of the ring body, and the discharge port is connected to the grinding area.

[0006] The grinding ring is an annular structure, and the area enclosed by the annular structure is defined as the grinding area. When the garbage disposer processes kitchen waste, the grinding assembly needs to be set in the grinding area. After the kitchen waste is ground, part of the kitchen waste is discharged from the grinding area through the first grinding hole, and the other part of the kitchen waste is discharged from the grinding area through the discharge port.

[0007] Specifically, when the grinding ring and the grinding assembly are used together, the inner ring of the grinding ring faces the grinding assembly, and the outer ring of the grinding ring faces away from the grinding assembly. The ring body is set to have a center line C, and the distance between the inner ring of the ring body and the center line C is C1. Since a discharge port is formed between the outer ring of the ring body and the guide member, the distance between at least a part of the guide member and the center line C is greater than C1. Therefore, compared with the inner ring of the ring body, at least a part of the guide member is far away from the center line C. By arranging the guide member on the ring body, the inner ring of the ring body is not a complete annular structure. When the grinding assembly grinds the kitchen waste, the kitchen waste will form a circulation in the ring body. Since at least a part of the guide member is far away from the center line C compared with the inner ring of the ring body, the guide member can destroy the circulation in the ring body, which is beneficial to increase the speed of kitchen waste discharged from the ring body, thereby facilitating the garbage disposal to improve the processing speed of kitchen waste.

[0008] In addition, the grinding ring in the above technical solution provided by the utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0009] In some technical solutions, optionally, the distance between the center line of the ring body and the guide member increases from the first side of the guide member to the second side of the guide member.

[0010] The first side of the guide member is connected to the ring, and the second side of the guide member is inclined in a direction away from the center line C. Therefore, the distance between the guide member and the center line C gradually increases.

[0011] The processed kitchen waste in the ring body will pass through the guide piece during the rotation process. Since the guide piece is arranged at an angle, the guide piece destroys the circulation formed by the kitchen waste. Moreover, the guide piece can guide the kitchen waste, thereby further improving the discharge speed of the kitchen waste.

[0012] In a possible application, the first side of the flow guide is connected to the inner ring of the ring body.

[0013] In some technical solutions, optionally, the length of the discharge opening is greater than the aperture of the first grinding hole.

[0014] A plurality of first grinding holes are usually arranged on the ring body, and the first grinding holes are usually round holes, and the aperture of each first grinding hole is small, and the kitchen waste can be discharged from the grinding area through the first grinding holes. If the kitchen waste is discharged only through the first grinding holes, the speed at which the fibrous kitchen waste passes through the first grinding holes is slow, thereby reducing the speed at which the kitchen waste is discharged from the grinding area, and the fibrous kitchen waste is also prone to blockage of the first grinding holes. In this embodiment, the discharge port between the guide member and the ring body is set as a long strip hole, and the length of the long strip hole is greater than the aperture of the first grinding hole. The fibrous processed waste can quickly pass through the long strip discharge port, which is beneficial to increasing the speed at which the kitchen waste is discharged from the grinding area. Moreover, discharging the fibrous kitchen waste through the long strip discharge port can reduce the probability of blockage of the first grinding hole, which is beneficial to improving the operating stability of the garbage disposer when processing kitchen waste.

[0015] In some technical solutions, optionally, the length L of the discharge opening satisfies, L≥4mm; and / or the width W of the discharge opening satisfies, 1mm≤W≤5mm.

[0016] When the length L of the discharge port is ≥ 4 mm, the length of the discharge port is relatively large, that is, the discharge port is set as an elongated hole, so that fibrous kitchen waste can be discharged from the discharge port.

[0017] When the width of the discharge port is less than 1mm, the width of the discharge port is small, and it is difficult for kitchen waste to pass through the discharge port. The discharge speed of kitchen waste is slow, and the kitchen waste is easy to block the discharge port. When the width of the discharge port is greater than 5mm, the width of the discharge port is large, and some kitchen waste is discharged through the discharge port without being processed or effectively processed, resulting in easy clogging of the pipeline by kitchen waste. When the width W of the discharge port satisfies 1mm≤W≤5mm, it is not easy for kitchen waste to block the discharge port, nor is it easy to affect the discharge speed of kitchen waste. Moreover, the discharge port can also limit the discharge of kitchen waste that has not been effectively processed from the grinding area to prevent kitchen waste from clogging the pipeline.

[0018] In some technical solutions, optionally, a second grinding hole is provided on the flow guide, and the second grinding hole is connected to the grinding area.

[0019] The guide member guides the kitchen waste so that a portion of the kitchen waste can be discharged from the grinding area through the discharge port. When the kitchen waste flows along the guide member, due to the second grinding hole provided on the guide member, a portion of the kitchen waste can be discharged along the second grinding hole, which can further increase the discharge speed of the kitchen waste and also prevent a large amount of kitchen waste from being concentrated at the discharge port, thereby preventing the discharge port from being blocked and ensuring that the garbage disposer can operate stably.

[0020] In a possible application, the first grinding hole and the second grinding hole have the same shape and size, which helps to reduce the difficulty of machining the grinding ring.

[0021] In some technical solutions, optionally, the grinding ring further includes: cutting teeth, which are arranged on the inner ring of the ring body, and the cutting teeth are used to cut the object to be cut.

[0022] Cutting teeth are machined on the inner ring of the ring body, and the cutting teeth are used in conjunction with the grinding component to achieve grinding processing of kitchen waste.

[0023] In a possible application, there are multiple cutting teeth, and the multiple cutting teeth are spaced apart along the length direction of the center line C. When the food waste passes through two adjacent cutting teeth, the food waste can be cut off by the two adjacent cutting teeth.

[0024] In a possible application, the cutting teeth are integrally formed on the ring body, or the cutting teeth are fixed to the ring body by welding.

[0025] In some technical solutions, optionally, along the circumference of the ring body, the cutting tooth is located on one side of the guide member, and the distance between the first side of the guide member and the cutting tooth is smaller than the distance between the second side of the guide member and the cutting tooth.

[0026] The first side of the guide is connected to the ring body, and a discharge port is formed between the second side of the guide and the ring body. When the food waste is discharged along the guide, the direction of the grinding member can be changed so that the food waste flows from the first side of the guide to the second side of the guide, and the cutting teeth are arranged near the first side of the guide so that the food waste first passes through the cutting teeth and then passes through the guide. This ensures that the food waste flowing into the guide has been cut by the cutting teeth, and prevents the discharge port from being blocked by uncut food.

[0027] In some technical solutions, optionally, the discharge port includes an elongated hole or an arc-shaped hole.

[0028] In the case where the discharge opening can be a long strip-shaped hole, the discharge opening extends along the length direction of the center line C, or the discharge opening is inclined relative to the center line C.

[0029] In some technical solutions, optionally, the guide member is integrally formed on the ring body.

[0030] The guide piece and the ring are an integrally formed structure. When processing the grinding ring, the ring body and the guide piece can be processed at one time, which can simplify the processing procedures of the guide piece and reduce the difficulty of processing the grinding ring. Moreover, since the guide piece and the ring body are an integral structure, the guide piece is not easy to be separated from the ring body, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the grinding ring.

[0031] Of course, in other embodiments, the guide member may also be fixed to the ring body by bonding, welding or locking with a locking member.

[0032] In the second aspect, the utility model proposes a garbage disposer, including: a main body, the main body is provided with a grinding chamber; a driving assembly connected to the main body; a grinding assembly, drivingly connected to the driving assembly; such as the grinding ring in the first aspect, the grinding ring is located in the grinding chamber, and a part of the grinding assembly is located in the grinding ring.

[0033] The main body is provided with a grinding chamber, and the grinding assembly and the grinding ring are installed in the grinding chamber. The kitchen waste is ground in the grinding chamber. The main body is also provided with a delivery port, and the kitchen waste can be delivered into the grinding chamber through the delivery port.

[0034] A part of the grinding assembly is located in the grinding ring. When the driving assembly drives the grinding assembly to rotate, the food waste between the grinding assembly and the ring body is ground and processed. After the food waste is ground and processed, part of the food waste is discharged from the grinding area through the first grinding hole, and the other part of the food waste is discharged from the grinding area through the discharge port. The food waste discharged from the grinding area can be discharged from the garbage disposer.

[0035] Specifically, when the grinding ring and the grinding assembly are used together, the inner ring of the grinding assembly faces the grinding piece, and the outer ring of the grinding ring faces away from the grinding assembly. The ring body is set to have a center line C, and the distance between the inner ring of the ring body and the center line C is C1. Since a discharge port is formed between the outer ring of the ring body and the guide member, the distance between at least a part of the guide member and the center line C is greater than C1. Therefore, compared with the inner ring of the ring body, at least a part of the guide member is far away from the center line C. By arranging the guide member on the ring body, the inner ring of the ring body is not a complete annular structure. When the grinding assembly grinds the kitchen waste, the kitchen waste will form a circulation in the ring body. Since at least a part of the guide member is far away from the center line C compared with the inner ring of the ring body, the guide member can destroy the circulation in the ring body, which is beneficial to increase the speed of kitchen waste discharged from the ring body, thereby facilitating the garbage disposal to improve the processing speed of kitchen waste.

[0036] In some technical schemes, optionally, the grinding assembly includes: a middle plate, which is provided with a connecting hole and an avoidance hole, and a part of the food in the grinding ring can pass through the connecting hole; a lap portion is provided on the circumference of the middle plate, and the lap portion overlaps the inner wall of the grinding chamber; a mounting groove is opened at one end of the grinding ring, and the mounting groove extends along the length direction of the grinding ring, a part of the lap portion is inserted into the mounting groove, and the output shaft of the driving assembly passes through the avoidance hole; a first grinding member is connected to the driving assembly; a second grinding member is connected to the driving assembly, and along the axial direction of the driving assembly, the first grinding member and the second grinding member are located on both sides of the middle plate; wherein, along the axial direction of the driving assembly, a part of the guide member is located between the opening of the mounting groove and the bottom wall of the mounting groove.

[0037] When installing the grinding assembly and the grinding ring, the middle plate needs to be placed on the inner wall of the grinding chamber. A step structure can be provided on the inner wall of the grinding chamber, and the overlapping portion of the middle plate in the circumferential direction is placed on the step structure. A plurality of mounting grooves are provided in the circumferential direction of the grinding ring, and the mounting grooves extend along the length direction of the center line C. When the grinding ring is placed on the middle plate, the overlapping portion is inserted into the mounting groove, and the middle plate limits the grinding ring, so that the grinding ring is not easy to rotate relative to the middle plate.

[0038] The first grinding piece and the second grinding piece are located on both axial sides of the middle plate, and the output shaft of the driving assembly needs to pass through the avoidance hole on the middle plate, so as to connect the first grinding piece and the second grinding piece to the output shaft of the driving assembly.

[0039] When the food waste is above the middle plate, the first grinding member cooperates with the grinding ring to grind the food waste. When a part of the food waste passes through the middle plate through the connecting hole, the second grinding member and the grinding ring grind the food waste.

[0040] Along the axial direction of the driving assembly, a portion of the guide member extends below the bottom wall of the mounting groove, and the kitchen waste that has been ground by the first grinding member and the grinding ring can be discharged from the discharge port, and the kitchen waste that has been ground by the second grinding member and the grinding ring can be discharged from the discharge port, so that more fibrous kitchen waste can be discharged from the discharge port.

[0041] In some technical solutions, optionally, along the rotation direction of the first grinding member, the discharge port is located at the end of the guide member.

[0042] When the first grinding member rotates, the food waste first passes through the first side of the guide member, then flows along the guide member, and is discharged through the discharge port. The guide member guides the food waste, which is beneficial to improving the discharge speed of the food waste. The first grinding member and the second grinding member have the same rotation direction, so along the rotation direction of the second grinding member, the discharge port is also located at the end of the guide member.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the utility model, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0055] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0056] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 7 A grinding ring and a garbage disposer provided according to some embodiments of the utility model are described.

[0057] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, a grinding ring 100 is proposed, comprising: a ring body 110 and a flow guide 120, wherein a plurality of first grinding holes 111 are provided on the ring body 110, and the area enclosed by the ring body 110 is set as a grinding area 112, and the first grinding holes 111 are connected to the grinding area 112. The flow guide 120 is located at the side of the ring body 110, and along the circumference of the ring body 110, the first side of the flow guide 120 is connected to the ring body 110, and a discharge port 121 is provided between the second side of the flow guide 120 and the outer ring of the ring body 110, and the discharge port 121 is connected to the grinding area 112.

[0058] The grinding ring 100 is an annular structure, and the area enclosed by the annular structures is defined as the grinding area 112. When the garbage disposer processes the food waste, the grinding assembly 400 needs to be arranged in the grinding area 112. After the food waste is ground, a part of the food waste is discharged from the grinding area 112 through the first grinding hole 111, and the other part of the food waste is discharged from the grinding area 112 through the discharge port 121.

[0059] Specifically, when the grinding ring 100 and the grinding assembly 400 are used together, the inner ring of the grinding ring 100 faces the grinding assembly 400, and the outer ring of the grinding ring 100 faces away from the grinding assembly 400. The ring body 110 is assumed to have a center line C, and the distance between the inner ring of the ring body 110 and the center line C is C1. Since a discharge port 121 is formed between the outer ring of the ring body 110 and the guide member 120, the distance between at least a portion of the guide member 120 and the center line C is greater than C1. Therefore, compared with the inner ring of the ring body 110, at least a portion of the guide member 120 is away from the center line C. By arranging the guide member 120 on the ring body 110, the inner ring of the ring body 110 is not a complete annular structure. When the grinding assembly 400 grinds the kitchen waste, the kitchen waste will form a circulation inside the ring body 110. Since at least a portion of the guide member 120 is farther away from the center line C than the inner circle of the ring body 110, the guide member 120 can destroy the circulation inside the ring body 110, which is beneficial to increase the speed at which the kitchen waste is discharged from the ring body 110, thereby helping to increase the speed at which the garbage disposal processes the kitchen waste.

[0060] In a possible application, there are multiple first grinding holes 111 , and the multiple first grinding holes 111 are staggered and distributed along the length direction of the center line C, so that it is easier to discharge materials.

[0061] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the distance between the center line of the ring body 110 and the guide member 120 increases from the first side of the guide member 120 to the second side of the guide member 120 .

[0062] The first side of the guide member 120 is connected to the ring, and the second side of the guide member 120 is inclined away from the center line C. Therefore, the distance between the guide member 120 and the center line C gradually increases, that is, the depression formed between the guide member 120 and the ring changes from shallow to deep.

[0063] The processed kitchen waste in the ring body 110 will pass through the guide member 120 during the rotation process. Since the guide member 120 is arranged at an angle, the guide member 120 destroys the circulation formed by the kitchen waste. Moreover, the guide member 120 can guide the kitchen waste, thereby further improving the discharge speed of the kitchen waste.

[0064] Due to the depression in front of the discharge port 121, the probability of the kitchen waste being washed away by the water flow (that is, the kitchen waste flows in a circular shape in the ring body 110 along with the water flow) is reduced, which is more conducive to discharge.

[0065] In a possible application, the first side of the flow guide 120 is connected to the inner ring of the ring body 110 .

[0066] In some embodiments, optionally, the length of the discharge port 121 is greater than the aperture of the first grinding hole 111 .

[0067] A plurality of first grinding holes 111 are usually arranged on the ring body 110, and the first grinding holes 111 are usually round holes, and the aperture of each first grinding hole 111 is small, and the kitchen waste can be discharged from the grinding area 112 through the first grinding holes 111. If the kitchen waste is discharged only through the first grinding holes 111, the speed of the fibrous kitchen waste passing through the first grinding holes 111 is slow, thereby reducing the speed of the kitchen waste being discharged from the grinding area 112, and the fibrous kitchen waste is also easy to cause blockage to the first grinding holes 111. In this embodiment, the discharge port 121 between the guide member 120 and the ring body 110 is set as a long strip hole, and the length of the long strip hole is greater than the aperture of the first grinding hole 111, and the fibrous waste can quickly pass through the long strip discharge port 121, which is conducive to improving the speed of the kitchen waste being discharged from the grinding area 112, and the discharge of the fibrous kitchen waste through the long strip discharge port 121 can reduce the probability of blockage of the first grinding hole 111, which is conducive to improving the operation stability of the garbage disposer when processing kitchen waste.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the length L of the discharge opening 121 satisfies, L ≥ 4 mm; and / or the width W of the discharge opening 121 satisfies, 1 mm ≤ W ≤ 5 mm.

[0069] When the length L of the discharge opening 121 is greater than or equal to 4 mm, the length of the discharge opening 121 is relatively large, that is, the discharge opening 121 is configured as an elongated hole, so that fibrous kitchen waste can be discharged from the discharge opening 121 .

[0070] When the width of the discharge port 121 is less than 1 mm, the width of the discharge port 121 is small, and it is difficult for the kitchen waste to pass through the discharge port 121. The discharge speed of the kitchen waste is slow, and the kitchen waste is easy to block the discharge port 121. When the width of the discharge port 121 is greater than 5 mm, the width of the discharge port 121 is large, and some kitchen waste is discharged through the discharge port 121 without being processed or effectively processed, resulting in the kitchen waste being easy to block the pipeline. When the width W of the discharge port 121 satisfies 1mm≤W≤5mm, the kitchen waste is not easy to block the discharge port 121, nor is it easy to affect the discharge speed of the kitchen waste. Moreover, the discharge port 121 can also limit the kitchen waste that has not been effectively processed from being discharged from the grinding area 112, thereby preventing the kitchen waste from clogging the pipeline.

[0071] For example, L is 4 mm or 5 mm, and W is 1 mm, 3 mm or 5 mm.

[0072] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a second grinding hole 122 is provided on the guide member 120 , and the second grinding hole 122 is communicated with the grinding area 112 .

[0073] The guide member 120 guides the food waste so that a portion of the food waste can be discharged from the grinding area 112 through the discharge port 121. When the food waste flows along the guide member 120, since the second grinding hole 122 is provided on the guide member 120, a portion of the food waste can be discharged along the second grinding hole 122, which can further increase the discharge speed of the food waste and prevent a large amount of food waste from being concentrated at the discharge port 121, thereby preventing the discharge port 121 from being blocked and ensuring that the garbage disposer can operate stably.

[0074] In a possible application, the first grinding hole 111 and the second grinding hole 122 have the same shape and size, which helps to reduce the difficulty of processing the grinding ring 100 .

[0075] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the grinding ring 100 further includes: cutting teeth 130, which are arranged on the inner ring of the ring body 110, and the cutting teeth 130 are used to cut the object to be cut.

[0076] The inner ring of the ring body 110 is machined with cutting teeth 130 , which are used in conjunction with the grinding assembly 400 to achieve grinding processing of kitchen waste.

[0077] In a possible application, there are multiple cutting teeth 130 , and the multiple cutting teeth 130 are spaced apart along the length direction of the center line C. When the food waste passes through two adjacent cutting teeth 130 , the food waste can be cut off by the two adjacent cutting teeth 130 .

[0078] In a possible application, the cutting teeth 130 are integrally formed with the ring body 110 , or the cutting teeth 130 are fixed to the ring body 110 by welding.

[0079] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, along the circumference of the ring body 110, the cutting tooth 130 is located on one side of the guide member 120, and the distance between the first side of the guide member 120 and the cutting tooth 130 is smaller than the distance between the second side of the guide member 120 and the cutting tooth 130.

[0080] The first side of the guide member 120 is connected to the ring body 110, and a discharge port 121 is formed between the second side of the guide member 120 and the ring body 110. When the food waste is discharged along the guide member 120, the food waste can flow from the first side of the guide member 120 to the second side of the guide member 120 by changing the direction of the grinding member, and the cutting teeth 130 are arranged near the first side of the guide member 120, so that the food waste first passes through the cutting teeth 130 and then passes through the guide member 120. This ensures that the food waste flowing into the guide member 120 has been cut by the cutting teeth 130, and prevents the uncut food from blocking the discharge port 121.

[0081] In some embodiments, optionally, the discharge port 121 includes an elongated hole or an arc-shaped hole.

[0082] In the case where the discharge opening 121 can be a long strip-shaped hole, the discharge opening 121 extends along the length direction of the center line C, or the discharge opening 121 is inclined relative to the center line C.

[0083] In some embodiments, optionally, the guide member 120 is integrally formed with the ring body 110 .

[0084] The guide member 120 and the ring are an integrally formed structure, and when the grinding ring 100 is processed, the ring body 110 and the guide member 120 can be processed at one time, which can simplify the processing steps of the guide member 120 and reduce the processing difficulty of the grinding ring 100. Moreover, since the guide member 120 and the ring body 110 are an integral structure, the guide member 120 is not easily separated from the ring body 110, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the grinding ring 100.

[0085] Of course, in other embodiments, the guide member 120 may also be fixed to the ring body 110 by bonding, welding or locking with a locking member.

[0086] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in an embodiment of the utility model, a garbage disposer is proposed, comprising: a main body 200, a driving assembly 300, a grinding assembly 400 and a grinding ring 100 in any of the above embodiments, the driving assembly 300 is connected to the main body 200, and the grinding assembly 400 is drivingly connected to the driving assembly 300. The main body 200 is provided with a grinding chamber 210, the grinding ring 100 is located in the grinding chamber 210, and a part of the grinding assembly 400 is located in the grinding ring 100.

[0087] The main body 200 is provided with a grinding chamber 210, and the grinding assembly 400 and the grinding ring 100 are installed in the grinding chamber 210. The kitchen waste is ground in the grinding chamber 210. The main body 200 is also provided with a delivery port, and the kitchen waste can be delivered into the grinding chamber 210 through the delivery port.

[0088] A portion of the grinding assembly 400 is located inside the grinding ring 100. When the driving assembly 300 drives the grinding assembly 400 to rotate, the food waste between the grinding assembly 400 and the ring body 110 is ground and processed. After the food waste is ground and processed, a portion of the food waste is discharged from the grinding area 112 through the first grinding hole 111, and another portion of the food waste is discharged from the grinding area 112 through the discharge port 121. The food waste discharged from the grinding area 112 can be discharged from the garbage disposal.

[0089] Specifically, when the grinding ring 100 and the grinding assembly 400 are used together, the inner ring of the grinding assembly 400 faces the grinding piece, and the outer ring of the grinding ring 100 faces away from the grinding assembly 400. The ring body 110 is assumed to have a center line C, and the distance between the inner ring of the ring body 110 and the center line C is C1. Since a discharge port 121 is formed between the outer ring of the ring body 110 and the guide member 120, the distance between at least a portion of the guide member 120 and the center line C is greater than C1. Therefore, compared with the inner ring of the ring body 110, at least a portion of the guide member 120 is away from the center line C. By arranging the guide member 120 on the ring body 110, the inner ring of the ring body 110 is not a complete annular structure. When the grinding assembly 400 grinds the kitchen waste, the kitchen waste will form a circulation inside the ring body 110. Since at least a portion of the guide member 120 is farther away from the center line C than the inner circle of the ring body 110, the guide member 120 can destroy the circulation inside the ring body 110, which is beneficial to increase the speed at which the kitchen waste is discharged from the ring body 110, thereby helping to increase the speed at which the garbage disposal processes the kitchen waste.
