Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of garbage disposal, and in particular relates to an installation structure of a kitchen waste disposer and a water tank. Background Art

[0002] Existing kitchen waste disposers are mostly installed in three-point metal flange assembly structures and screw-on plastic flange assembly structures.

[0003] Specifically, the Chinese utility model patent "A feeding device for a garbage disposer" with patent number 202221944465.9 and authorization announcement number CN218292144U includes a garbage disposer arranged at the bottom of a water tank, a mounting hole is opened at the bottom of the water tank, and a feeding port at the top of the garbage disposer is installed on the mounting hole through a mounting assembly. It also includes a feeder bracket and a feeder. The lower part of the feeder bracket is installed on the mounting assembly, and the upper part of the feeder bracket passes upward through the mounting hole and extends into the interior of the water tank. The feeder is arranged inside the water tank and is rotatably connected to the feeder bracket. A feeding channel connected to the feeding port is formed between the feeder and the bottom of the water tank.

[0004] Since the garbage disposal is located under the sink, the surrounding space is limited, and the existing flange and other installation components are inconvenient to operate during installation. In addition, the reliability is greatly affected by the professional level of the installer. If the installation is not in place, there is a risk of the machine falling. It is also not convenient for maintenance personnel to operate during maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a mounting structure of a kitchen waste disposer and a water tank for easy assembly and disassembly in view of the current status of the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above technical problems is: a kitchen waste disposer and a sink installation structure, including:

[0007] A water tank, the bottom wall of which is provided with a water outlet penetrating through the wall thickness;

[0008] A water drop tube is arranged at the water drop outlet of the water tank, and the side wall of the water drop tube defines a vertically penetrating passage, and the upper end of the passage is opposite to and connected with the water drop outlet;

[0009] The garbage disposer body has an upward feed inlet, which is sleeved on the outer circumference of the lower end of the water drop tube;

[0010] Features:

[0011] The edge of the feed port of the garbage disposer body is partially extended inward to form an inner folding edge, and there are at least two inner folding edges, which are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction;

[0012] The lower edge of the water tank is provided with an outer folding edge extending outward at the position corresponding to each inner folding edge, so that the corresponding inner folding edge can be supported thereon, and there is a gap between two adjacent outer folding edges, so that after the garbage disposal body rotates circumferentially, each inner folding edge can pass downward through the corresponding gap and leave the water tank;

[0013] The limiting member acts on the garbage disposer body to limit the circumferential rotation of the garbage disposer body relative to the downspout, and the limiting member can release the limiting effect on the garbage disposer body under the action of external force.

[0014] In this way, during installation, the inner folded edge at the feed port of the garbage disposer body can be aligned with the gap on the downpipe, and then the garbage disposer body can be moved upward so that the inner folded edge on the garbage disposer body passes through the corresponding gap, and then the garbage disposer body is rotated circumferentially so that the inner folded edge on the garbage disposer body is aligned with the corresponding outer folded edge on the downpipe and supported on the outer folded edge. Finally, the limiting member is applied to the garbage disposer body to constrain the garbage disposer body and the downpipe together to prevent the two from rotating circumferentially and separating from each other; conversely, when the garbage disposer body needs to be removed, the constraint of the limiting member on the garbage disposer body can be released first, and then the garbage disposer body can be rotated. The entire disassembly and assembly process is convenient to operate and can prevent the garbage disposer body from accidentally separating from the downpipe and falling.

[0015] Preferably, there are at least three inner folding edges, which are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction, and the number of the outer folding edges is consistent with the number of the inner folding edges, and each outer folding edge is arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction.

[0016] Preferably, the inner fold has a strip-shaped top wall extending circumferentially, and side walls extending downward from both ends of the strip-shaped top wall, and the two side walls and the strip-shaped top wall together form a groove with an opening facing downward, for the outer fold to be inserted therein. The structure of the groove in the utility model can constrain the outer fold in the circumferential direction, preventing the two from rotating in the circumferential direction, thereby further improving the stability of the overall structure.

[0017] Preferably, the upper end surface of the strip-shaped top wall is flush with the edge of the feed port.

[0018] In the above scheme, the limiting member can adopt a structure such as a clamp, which is tightly clamped on the outer circumference of the downspout and the garbage disposal body to prevent the two from rotating relative to each other.

[0019] Preferably, the limiting member is arranged to provide a downward force on the garbage disposer body to limit the circumferential rotation of the garbage disposer body relative to the downspout.

[0020] Preferably, the limiting member includes:

[0021] A press-fit ring is sleeved on the outer circumference of the downspout and above the outer folded edge along the circumferential direction, and the outer circumferential wall of the press-fit ring is provided with an external thread;

[0022] The screw-on nut is sleeved on the outer circumference of the press-fit ring and is threadedly connected to the press-fit ring. The upper end surface of the screw-on nut directly or indirectly presses against the bottom wall of the water tank so that the press-fit ring is pressed downward onto the edge of the feed port of the garbage disposer body.

[0023] In this way, the operation is convenient by simply rotating the screw-on nut.

[0024] The upper end surface of the screw-on nut can directly contact the bottom wall of the water tank, or can contact the bottom wall of the water tank through a rubber gasket.

[0025] In the utility model, a threaded hole can also be opened on the press-fitting ring, and a screw that matches the threaded hole can be used to replace the screw nut. After the rod of the screw passes upward through the threaded hole, it can directly or indirectly press against the bottom wall of the water tank to press the press-fitting ring downward onto the edge of the feed port of the garbage disposer body.

[0026] Preferably, a sealing ring is further included, which is sleeved on the outer circumference of the water tank along the circumferential direction and is located between the press-fit ring and the edge of the feed port of the garbage disposal body and fits with both. The design of the sealing ring can reduce the risk of water leakage.

[0027] Preferably, the inner circumferential surface of the sealing ring is in contact with the side wall of the rain gutter.

[0028] Preferably, the outer peripheral wall of the screw-on nut is provided with ridges at intervals along the circumferential direction, so that the screw-on nut can be rotated directly by applying the ridges to the ridges without the aid of external tools, which is convenient for operation in a narrow space.

[0029] In the above solutions, preferably, the downspout and the bottom wall of the water tank are an integral connecting piece;

[0030] Alternatively, the downspout and the bottom wall of the water tank are separate parts, the upper edge of the downspout extends outward to form a flange, the flange is supported on the edge of the downspout and a sealing gasket is provided between the two.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are: when installing the present invention, the inner folded edge at the feed port of the garbage disposer body can be aligned with the gap on the downpipe, and then the garbage disposer body can be moved upward so that the inner folded edge on the garbage disposer body passes through the corresponding gap, and then the garbage disposer body is rotated circumferentially so that the inner folded edge on the garbage disposer body is aligned with the corresponding outer folded edge on the downpipe and supported on the outer folded edge, and finally the limiting member is applied to the garbage disposer body to constrain the garbage disposer body and the downpipe together to prevent the two from rotating circumferentially and separating from each other; conversely, when the garbage disposer body needs to be removed, the constraint of the limiting member on the garbage disposer body can be released first, and then the garbage disposer body can be rotated. The entire disassembly and assembly process is convenient to operate and can prevent the garbage disposer body from accidentally separating from the downpipe and falling.

[0040] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Embodiment 1:

[0042] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a preferred embodiment 1 of the installation structure of a kitchen waste disposer and a sink of the present invention is shown. The installation structure includes a sink 1, a drain tube 2, a waste disposer body 3, a limiting member 5 and a sealing ring 6.

[0043] The bottom wall of the water tank 1 is provided with a water outlet 10 penetrating through the wall thickness.

[0044] The downpipe 2 and the bottom wall of the water tank 1 are separate parts. The downpipe 2 is inserted at the downpipe 10 of the water tank 1, and the side wall of the downpipe 2 defines a vertically penetrating passage. The upper edge of the downpipe 2 extends outward to form a flange 23. The flange 23 is supported on the edge of the downpipe 10 and a sealing gasket 24 is provided between the two, so that the upper end of the downpipe 2 is connected to the downpipe 10. The lower edge of the downpipe 2 is provided with an outer folding edge 21 extending outward, and there are three outer folding edges 21, which are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction, and there is a gap 22 between two adjacent outer folding edges 21.

[0045] The garbage disposer body 3 has an upward feed port 30, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the lower end of the water dropper 2, and the edge of the feed port 30 corresponds to the position above each outer folding edge 21 and is provided with an inner folding edge 31 extending inwardly, and there are three inner folding edges 31, which are arranged at equal intervals and supported on the corresponding outer folding edges 21. In this embodiment, each inner folding edge 31 has a strip-shaped top wall 311 extending circumferentially, and side walls 312 extending downward from both ends of the strip-shaped top wall 311, the upper end surface of the strip-shaped top wall 311 is flush with the edge of the feed port 30, and the two side walls 312 and the strip-shaped top wall 311 jointly form a groove 310 with an opening facing downward, so that the corresponding outer folding edge 21 can be inserted therein. At the same time, the garbage disposer body 3 of the present embodiment can move upward so that the inner folded edge 31 is separated from the outer folded edge 21, and after the garbage disposer body 3 rotates circumferentially at a certain angle, the inner folded edge 31 on the garbage disposer body 3 is located above the corresponding gap 22, so that the inner folded edge 31 on the garbage disposer body 3 can pass downward through the corresponding gap 22 and separate from the downspout 2.

[0046] The sealing ring 6 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the water pipe 2 and above the outer folded edge 21 along the circumferential direction. The inner circumferential surface of the sealing ring 6 is in contact with the side circumferential wall of the water pipe 2.

[0047] The above-mentioned limiter 5 includes a press ring 51 and a screw-on nut 52. The press ring 51 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the water tube 2 and above the outer folding edge 21 along the circumferential direction. The outer peripheral wall of the press ring 51 is provided with an external thread 511. The screw-on nut 52 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the press ring 51 and is threadedly connected with the press ring 51; and the outer peripheral wall of the screw-on nut 52 is provided with ridges 521 at intervals along the circumferential direction. When the inner folding edge 31 on the garbage disposer body 3 is supported on the outer folding edge 21 of the water tube 2, the screw-on nut 52 is rotated so that the upper end surface of the screw-on nut 52 is directly pressed against the bottom wall of the water tank 1. At this time, under the downward reaction force of the bottom wall of the water tank 1, the limiter 5 presses the sealing ring 6 below it downward above the edge of the feed port 30 of the garbage disposer body 3 to avoid water leakage at the connection between the garbage disposer body 3 and the water tube, and at the same time, it can also limit the circumferential rotation of the garbage disposer body 3 relative to the water tube 2. When the garbage disposer body 3 needs to be removed, it can be done by loosening the top screw nut 52, which is convenient for operation.

[0048] Embodiment 2:

[0049] like Figure 7 and 8 As shown, a preferred embodiment 2 of the installation structure of a kitchen waste disposer and a sink of the utility model is shown. This embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment, except that in this embodiment, the edge of the upper port of the drain tube 2 is connected to the edge of the drain outlet 10 of the sink 1 as a whole, and there is no need to provide a sealing gasket.
