Specifically, the actuator 32 includes a first magnetic member and a second magnetic member that can attract each other. The two are respectively arranged at the door plate 31 and the barrel 4, and the door plate 31 closes the lower end of the barrel 4 when the two are attracted. And the door plate 31 can overcome the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member under the action of the garbage gravity and rotate downward to separate the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member. At this time, the door plate 31 opens the lower end of the barrel 4 to connect the passage between the outside and the grinding chamber 10.

[0052] The garbage disposal system of this embodiment includes a water tank 5, the above-mentioned kitchen waste disposer and a water storage cover 6, wherein the bottom wall of the water tank 5 is provided with a water outlet, the grinding cover 1 is provided below the water tank 5, and the feed port 10a on the top of the grinding cover 1 is opposite to and communicates with the water outlet. The water storage cover 6 is provided on the feeding port 20 of the cover plate 2 to close the feeding port 20, and the water storage cover 6 can be separated from the feeding port 20 upward.

[0053] When it is necessary to throw in garbage, the user can move the cover 2 upwards to open the feed port 10a, so that a large amount of kitchen waste can be directly thrown into the grinding cover 1 through the feed port 10a for crushing; the user can also cover the cover 2 and throw in a small amount of kitchen waste and water through the feed port 20 on the cover 2. At this time, the switch member 3 at the feed port 20 opens under the action of the gravity of the kitchen waste and water to connect the passage between the outside and the grinding chamber 10, so that the kitchen waste and water enter the grinding cover 1 together, which is convenient for feeding.

[0054] When water needs to be stored in the water tank, the user can cover the water storage cover 6 to close the feeding port 20.
