It is characterized in that: a step structure is formed at the bottom of the sink, a main feeding port is opened at the top of the step structure, a feeding cover is installed on the main feeding port, and the top of the grinding chamber is installed on the main feeding port.

[0005] The design of existing food waste disposers not only has to consider the grinding effect, but also the user experience, such as the convenience of users when putting in garbage, whether the garbage will splash out during disposal, etc. Utility Model Content

[0006] The first technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a splash-proof cover for a kitchen waste disposer in view of the current status of the prior art, which can prevent splashing and facilitate feeding.

[0007] The second technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a kitchen waste disposer with the above-mentioned anti-splash cover.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above-mentioned first technical problem is: a splash-proof cover for a kitchen waste disposer, comprising:

[0009] An annular support frame is used to be arranged at the feed inlet of the food waste disposer;

[0010] It is characterized by also including:

[0011] The blades are arranged circumferentially inside the support frame, the outer ends of the blades are constrained by the support frame, the inner ends of the blades are free ends extending toward the center of the support frame, and the inner and outer extending sides of adjacent blades are opposite and adjacent, so that the blades are blocked as a whole inside the support frame;

[0012] At the same time, each blade is elastic, so that it can be elastically deformed and relatively opened under the action of falling garbage.

[0013] Furthermore, the blade has two side edges extending inwardly and outwardly, which are arranged in a V shape, and the outer ends of the two are connected by an arc-shaped edge arched outwardly, and the V-shaped tips of the two are the free ends of the blade.

[0014] Preferably, the blades are fan-shaped, and the sides of the blades extend along the radial direction of the support frame.

[0015] It is also preferred that the extension direction of the side of the blade is arranged at an angle with the radial direction of the support frame, and the blades are arranged in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction as a whole. The blades arranged in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction are conducive to opening and closing deformation, and the overall structure is more stable.

[0016] Preferably, there are eight blades, and the free ends of the blades enclose an octagonal through hole.

[0017] In the above solution, each blade can be independently arranged, but in order to improve the stability of the overall structure, preferably, the outer ends of adjacent blades are connected as one body. The one body structure is more conducive to the restoration of the blade after deformation.

[0018] In order to constrain the blades and the support frame together, preferably, an annular slot is provided on the whole after the outer ends of the blades are connected, and the inner edge portion of the support frame is inserted into the annular slot, and the two are tightly matched.

[0019] Preferably, the notch of the annular slot faces upwards so that the inner edge portion of the support frame can be inserted downward therein; after the outer ends of the blades are connected, vertically extending reinforcing ribs are provided at intervals along the circumferential direction on the whole, and the reinforcing ribs are located on the periphery of the annular slot.

[0020] Preferably, the reinforcing rib is elastic and integrally connected to the blade.

[0021] The design of the reinforcing ribs ensures that the blades can be firmly installed in the support frame.

[0022] At the same time, since the reinforcing ribs of the utility model are located on the periphery of the annular slot, each reinforcing rib can contact the inner wall surface of the corresponding feed port, so that the entire splash guard can be fixed relative to the feed port, and since the reinforcing ribs are elastic, the removal and installation of the splash guard are not affected.

[0023] In the above schemes, preferably, the blades are inclined downward from the outside to the inside, so that the blades as a whole form an inverted cone-shaped chamber. The inverted cone-shaped chamber is conducive to feeding, so that the kitchen waste can move downward under its own gravity to drive the blades to open, and finally the kitchen waste passes between the open blades and falls into the kitchen waste disposer.

[0024] Preferably, the support frame is a rigid member. A rigid support frame can improve strength and is convenient for users to take.

[0025] Preferably, the support frame has:

[0026] an annular support body on which the outer ends of the blades are restrained;

[0027] A flange extending horizontally outwardly relative to the supporting body is arranged to be supported on the edge of the feed opening.

[0028] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above-mentioned second technical problem is: a kitchen waste disposer, characterized by having the splash-proof cover as described above.

[0029] Preferably, it also includes a feeding cover, which is arranged on the feeding port of the food waste disposer and above the splash-proof cover to close the feeding port, and the feeding cover is arranged to be able to move upward to open the feeding port.

[0030] Preferably, the feeding cover comprises:

[0031] An outer cover is disposed at the feed inlet and is arranged to be movable upward and away from the feed inlet, and a through hole is provided in the center of the outer cover, which passes through the outer cover from top to bottom;

[0032] The inner cover is arranged at the through hole to cover the through hole, and the inner cover is arranged to be able to move upward relative to the outer cover to expose the through hole.

[0033] When a large volume of food waste needs to be put in, the outer cover can be opened and the food waste can be put in directly from the feed port; when the food waste is less or smaller in size, the outer cover can be closed and the inner cover can be opened, and the food waste can pass through the through hole in the center of the outer cover; when no food waste needs to be put in, the outer cover and the inner cover can be closed at the same time, which can prevent the odor in the garbage disposer from overflowing. In addition, the existing food waste disposers are mostly installed under the drain of the sink, and water can be stored in the sink by closing the outer cover and the inner cover.

[0034] Preferably, at least two radially extending retaining ribs are provided in the through hole at intervals along the circumferential direction. When feeding, the garbage passes through the gaps between adjacent retaining ribs and falls into the splash cover, and then enters the garbage disposer through the splash cover to be crushed.

[0035] Preferably, the feeding cover is supported on the support frame. That is, in the present invention, the support frame can connect the blades and support the feeding cover. At the same time, the feeding cover can also press the support frame downward at the feeding port of the food waste disposer.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the utility model are: in the natural state, the blades of the utility model are integrally horizontally blocked in the support frame to play a role in shielding and splashing prevention; in the feeding state, the blades are relatively opened under the action of the falling garbage, so that the garbage can pass through the splash-proof cover, which is convenient for feeding; after the feeding is completed, the blades are reset to the natural state under the action of their own elasticity; at the same time, the combined design of the annular support frame and the blades in the utility model can improve the overall structural strength and facilitate taking.

The outer end 21 of each blade 2 is constrained by the support frame 1, the inner end 22 of each blade 2 is a free end extending toward the center of the support frame 1, and the inner and outer extending sides 20 of adjacent blades 2 are opposite, adjacent, or even fitted, so that each blade 2 is entirely horizontally blocked inside the support frame 1; at the same time, each blade 2 is elastic, so that it can be elastically deformed and relatively opened under the action of falling garbage.

[0054] In this embodiment, each blade 2 has two side edges 20 extending inward and outward and arranged in a V shape. The inner ends of the two side edges 20 on a single blade 2 are connected to form a V-shaped tip, which is the free end of the blade 2. At the same time, the extension direction of the side edges 20 of each blade 2 is arranged at an angle with the radial direction of the support frame 1, and each blade 2 is arranged in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation direction as a whole, and the free end of each blade 2 encloses an octagonal through hole 220. The outer ends of the two side edges 20 on a single blade 2 are connected by an arc edge that arches outward, and the outer ends 21 of adjacent blades 2 are connected as a whole. After the outer ends 21 of each blade are connected, an annular slot 210 with a notch facing upward is provided on the whole body, and the lower edge of the support body 11 of the support frame 1 is inserted downward into the annular slot 210, and the two are tightly matched, so that the outer end of the blade 2 is constrained to the support frame 1. In addition, after the outer ends 21 of the blades are connected, vertically extending reinforcing ribs 211 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction, and the reinforcing ribs 211 are located on the periphery of the annular slot 210. The reinforcing ribs 211 are elastic and connected to the blades as a whole. Figure 4 , 6 、7.

[0055] At the same time, in this embodiment, the blades 2 are inclined downward from the outside to the inside, so that each blade 2 forms an inverted cone-shaped chamber as a whole.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the kitchen waste disposer of this embodiment has a feeding cover 3 and the above-mentioned splash cover. The flange 12 of the support frame 1 is supported on the step inside the feed port 10a, and the outer end of the reinforcing rib 211 is in contact with the inner side of the feed port 10a. For details, please refer to Figure 4 The feeding cover 3 includes an outer cover 31 and an inner cover 32.
