[0045] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the utility model. However, the utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the utility model, so the utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0046] like Figure 1-Figure 10 As shown, a door lock structure of a door body and a food waste disposer are provided, wherein the door lock structure of the door body comprises a fixed door 1 and a movable door 2, wherein the fixed door 1 has an opening, and one end of the movable door 2 is rotatably connected to the fixed door 1 and can cover the opening of the fixed door 1, and a locking structure 3 and a lock buckle 4 are provided on the movable door 2, and a limiting structure 5 is provided between the locking structure 3 and the lock buckle 4, and the lock buckle 4 reciprocates in the upper and lower directions in the limiting structure 5, and cooperates with the locking structure 3 to drive the lock buckle 4 to disengage from or connect with the fixed door 1 to realize opening or closing the door.

[0047] Specifically, since the lock buckle 4 performs reciprocating motion in the up and down directions within the limiting structure 5, the user only needs to perform simple operations to open or close the door, thereby improving the convenience and comfort of the user experience; through the limiting structure 5, it is ensured that the lock buckle 4 can move within the prescribed path when locking and unlocking, preventing deviation or misoperation, playing a guiding and supporting role, ensuring the smooth and accurate movement of the lock buckle 4, and improving the safety of the equipment.

[0048] like Figure 2 , Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, when the user opens the movable door 2, he presses or pushes up the locking structure 3, so that the lock buckle 4 moves upward in the limiting structure 5, and the lock buckle 4 is separated from the fixed door 1. At this time, the movable door 2 can be rotated around the rotating shaft and opened.

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10As shown, when the user closes the movable door 2, the movable door 2 is rotated to cover the opening of the fixed door 1, and then the locking structure 3 or the movable door 2 is pressed downward to make the lock buckle 4 move downward in the limiting structure 5. The lock buckle 4 is connected with the fixed door 1 to lock the movable door 2, so that the user can close the door by directly pressing down the movable door 2 or by pulling the handle 3 to close it. A variety of operation modes are provided to adapt to different usage scenarios, ensuring the improvement of operation flexibility and user experience.

[0050] Further, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one end of the movable door 2 is hinged to the fixed door 1, and the locking structure 3 can movably drive the lock catch 4 to separate from the opening or the fixed door 1, and unlock the movable door 2 from the opening, so that the movable door 2 and the opening are opened to each other.

[0051] Further, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 9-11 As shown, a first restoring member 6 is provided on the side of the movable door 2 close to the lock buckle 4. When the movable door 2 is in a closed state, the movable door 2 or the locking structure 3 is pressed downward by an external force, and the lock buckle 4 is driven to deform the first restoring member 6. When the external force is removed, the lock buckle 4 is reset under the action of the restoring force of the first restoring member 6, so that the lock buckle 4 is connected to the fixed door 1; when the movable door 2 is in an open state, the locking structure 3 is pressed downward by an external force, and the locking structure 3 is driven to disengage from the fixed door 1 to open the door, and the first restoring member 6 is deformed. When the external force is removed, the lock buckle 4 is reset under the action of the restoring force of the first restoring member 6.

[0052] Specifically, Figure 2 , Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, when the user needs to open the movable door 2, the locking structure 3 is pressed or pushed upward, so that the locking structure 3 is pressed downward by the external force, driving the lock buckle 4 to move upward. Due to the guiding effect of the limiting structure 5, the lock buckle 4 moves upward and disengages from the fixed door 1, and the movable door 2 can rotate around the rotating shaft, thereby opening the movable door 2. At this time, the first reset member 6 is deformed to store elastic potential energy; when the external force is removed, the first reset member 6 resets the lock buckle 4 to the initial position under the action of the restoring force;

[0053] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the user rotates the movable door 2 to cover the opening of the fixed door 1, and then presses downward on the movable door 2 or the locking structure 3, causing the lock buckle 4 to move downward in the limiting structure 5. The lock buckle 4 is subjected to the action of an external force, causing the first reset member 6 to deform; when the external force is removed, the first reset member 6 resumes its deformation, driving the lock buckle 4 to connect to the fixed door 1, thereby locking the movable door 2.

[0054] It should be noted that the lock buckle 4 is within the limiting structure 5 during the process of moving up and down, and will not completely separate from the limiting structure 5, thereby ensuring that the movement trajectory of the lock buckle 4 is controlled and reducing safety hazards caused by improper operation.

[0055] The first restoring member 6 includes but is not limited to elastic components such as a spring and an elastic sheet.

[0056] Further, if Fig.11 , Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the locking structure 3 includes a movable portion 301 , through which the locking structure 3 is movably connected to the movable door 2 . The movable portion 301 reciprocates in the up and down directions under the action of external force and is arranged above the limiting structure 5 .

[0057] Specifically, Figure 2 , Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the movable part 301 is a reversible handle. When the user needs to open the movable door 2, the user presses or pushes up the reversible handle. The reversible handle moves in an arc in the up and down directions under the action of external force. When the reversible handle flips upward, the lock buckle 4 is driven to move upward in the limiting structure 5, and is separated from the locking connection with the fixed door 1, but is always in the limiting structure 5. The movable door 2 can rotate around the rotating shaft, so as to open the movable door 2. At this time, the first reset member 6 is deformed to store elastic potential energy. When the external force is removed, the first reset member 6 resets the lock buckle 4 to the initial position under the action of the restoring force;

[0058] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the user rotates the movable door 2 to cover the opening of the fixed door 1, and then presses the flip handle downward to move the lock buckle 4 downward in the limiting structure 5. The lock buckle 4 is subjected to the action of external force to cause the first reset member 6 to deform. When the external force is removed, the first reset member 6 restores its deformation, driving the lock buckle 4 to connect to the fixed door 1, thereby locking the movable door 2.

[0059] This enables the user to open and close the door simply by flipping the handle. The process is simple and intuitive, suitable for daily quick operation.

[0060] In this embodiment, the movable portion 301 can also be a lifting button. When the user needs to open the movable door 2, the lifting button is pressed or lifted. The lifting button moves up and down in the vertical direction under the action of external force. When the lifting button is pulled upward, the lock buckle 4 is driven to move upward in the limiting structure 5, and is separated from the locking connection with the fixed door 1, but is always in the limiting structure 5. The movable door 2 can rotate around the rotating shaft, so as to open the movable door. At this time, the first reset member 6 is deformed to store elastic potential energy. When the external force is removed, the first reset member 6 resets the lock buckle 4 to the initial position under the action of the restoring force.

[0061] The user rotates the movable door 2 to cover the opening of the fixed door 1, and then presses downward the movable part 301 on the locking structure 3 to move the lock buckle 4 downward in the limiting structure 5. The lock buckle 4 is subjected to the action of external force to cause the first reset member 6 to deform; when the external force is removed, the first reset member 6 resumes its deformation, driving the lock buckle 4 to connect to the fixed door 1, thereby locking the movable door 2.

[0062] This enables the user to lock and unlock by simply pulling or pressing in the vertical direction, further simplifying the operation steps.

[0063] Further, if Fig.11 , Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the limiting structure 5 includes a limiting portion 501, which is arranged on the locking structure 3, and the lock buckle 4 is provided with a limiting protrusion 405 corresponding to the limiting portion 501. The limiting protrusion 405 reciprocates in the upper and lower directions on the limiting portion 501, and the limiting portion 501 is a limiting hole or a limiting groove.

[0064] Specifically, when the user needs to open or close the movable door 2, the lock buckle 4 is driven to move up and down in the limiting structure 5, and the limiting protrusion 405 on the lock buckle 4 reciprocates in the upper and lower directions in the limiting part 501. During the operation of opening or closing the door, the limiting protrusion 405 reciprocates in the upper and lower directions in the limiting part 501. The movement trajectory of the limiting protrusion 405 in the limiting part 501 ensures that the movement of the lock buckle is controlled and no deviation occurs.

[0065] Further, if Figure 3-Figure 11 As shown, the lock 4 includes a door hook 401, and the door hook 401 has a first preset position 4011 and a second preset position 4012; the limiting structure 5 also includes a pushing portion 502 cooperating with the door hook 401. When the locking structure 3 moves upward under the action of external force, the pushing portion 502 moves upward to the first preset position 4011 to drive the door hook 401 to disengage from the fixed door 1; when the external force is removed, the first reset member 6 drives the locking structure 3 to reset downward, driving the pushing portion 502 to move to the second preset position 4012.

[0066] Specifically, the first preset position 4011 and the second preset position 4012 of the door hook 401 provide clear locking and unlocking states, and the movement of the pusher 502 between the two preset positions ensures accurate control of the door hook 401, so that each operation can be accurate.

[0067] like Figure 2 , Figure 5-Figure 8As shown, when the user needs to open the movable door, he presses or lifts the movable part 301 on the locking structure 3, and the locking structure 3 moves upward under the action of external force. The pushing part 502 moves upward to the first preset position 4011 when the locking structure 3 moves upward, and drives the door hook 401 to disengage from the fixed door 1, thereby unlocking the movable door. After the door hook 401 disengages from the fixed door 1, the movable door 2 can rotate around the rotating shaft, thereby opening the movable door. At this time, the first reset member 6 is deformed to store elastic potential energy. When the external force is removed, the first reset member 6 drives the locking structure 3 to reset downward, and the pushing part 502 moves to the second preset position 4012, and the door hook 401 returns to the initial position.

[0068] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, when the user rotates the movable door 2 to cover the opening of the fixed door 1, and then presses downward on the movable part 301 on the locking structure 3, the locking structure 3 moves downward under the action of the external force. Under the action of the first reset member 6, the pushing part 502 moves to the second preset position 4012, so that the door hook 401 is reconnected with the fixed door 1, completing the locking of the movable door.

[0069] Further, if Fig.11 and Fig.15 As shown, the lock 4 also includes a lock portion 402, a lock rod 403, and a lock hook 404 which are arranged on the door hook 401 from top to bottom in sequence. The lock portion 402 and the lock hook 404 are both arranged on the same side of the lock rod 403 close to the limiting structure 5. A slot 101 cooperating with the lock hook 404 is provided on the fixed door 1. The lock portion 402 is located between the first preset position 4011 and the second preset position 4012. A guide surface 4021 is provided on the side of the lock portion 402 close to the limiting structure 5. The horizontal distance between the guide surface 4021 and the central axis of the lock rod 403 decreases from top to bottom. The limiting structure 5 is positioned at the first preset position 4011 or the second preset position 4012 along the guide surface 4021.

[0070] Specifically, the guide surface 4021 plays a role in positioning and guiding when the lock buckle 4 cooperates with the limiting structure 5; the horizontal distance of the guide surface 4021 close to the central axis of the locking rod 403 decreases from top to bottom, so that when the lock buckle 4 moves, the limiting structure 5 can be smoothly positioned at the first preset position 4011 or the second preset position 4012 along the guide surface 4021, and the lock hook 404 is responsible for cooperating with the slot 101 on the fixed door 1 to realize the locking and unlocking of the moving door 2.

[0071] like Figure 2 , Figure 5-Figure 8As shown, the user presses or lifts the movable part 301 on the locking structure 3, the locking structure 3 moves upward, and the pushing part 502 moves upward accordingly, contacting the guide surface 4021 of the lock part 402, and the pushing part 502 slides upward along the guide surface 4021 until it is positioned at the first preset position 4011. During this process, the lock hook 404 disengages from the slot 101 on the fixed door 1 to achieve unlocking, and the movable door 2 can rotate around the axis to open.

[0072] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the user rotates the movable door 2 to cover the opening of the fixed door 1, and then presses downward on the movable part 301 on the locking structure 3, the locking structure 3 moves downward, and the pushing part 502 moves downward accordingly, and the pushing part 502 slides downward along the guide surface 4021 of the lock part 402 until it is positioned at the second preset position 4012. During this process, the lock hook 404 is reconnected with the slot 101 on the fixed door 1 to achieve locking.

[0073] It should be noted that the guide surface 4021 is an inclined surface or an arc surface.

[0074] Further, if Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, a first mating surface 4041 is provided on the lock hook 404, and a second mating surface 102 is provided on the fixed door 1. When the movable door 2 is pushed closed under the action of an external force, the first mating surface 4041 abuts against the second mating surface 102, and the lock buckle 4 is driven to cause the first reset member 6 to deform in the front-to-back direction. When the external force is removed, the lock buckle 4 is reset under the action of the restoring force of the first reset member 6, so that the lock hook 404 is mated and connected with the slot 101.

[0075] Specifically, when the movable door 2 is closed, under the action of external force, the user pushes the movable door 2 to close to the opening of the fixed door 1, and the first mating surface 4041 on the lock hook 404 begins to abut against the second mating surface 102 on the fixed door 1. At this time, the lock buckle 4 is subjected to a backward driving force, causing the first reset member 6 to deform backward to store elastic potential energy. When the external force is removed, the door hook 401 is acted on by the restoring force of the first reset member 6, causing the lock buckle 4 to reset forward, and the lock hook 404 cooperates with the slot 101 to achieve locking of the movable door 2.

[0076] It should be pointed out that the lock buckle 4 is driven to cause the first reset member 6 to deform in the front-to-back direction, which includes but is not limited to the front and rear directions, and also includes slightly offset front-to-back directions, so that it can produce corresponding elastic deformation when subjected to forces in different directions.

[0077] Furthermore, the first mating surface 4041 and the second mating surface 102 are inclined surfaces or arc-shaped surfaces.

[0078] Further, if Fig.12As shown, a first fixing portion 302 is provided on the locking structure 3 near the limiting structure 5, and a second fixing portion 201 is provided on the movable door 2, and the second fixing portion 201 is directly below the first fixing portion 302; a second reset member 9 is provided between the first fixing portion 302 and the second fixing portion 201.

[0079] Specifically, when the locking structure 3 moves upward or downward under the action of an external force, the second restoring member 9 will deform and store elastic potential energy. Once the external force is removed, the second restoring member 9 will release the stored elastic potential energy and drive the locking structure 3 back to its initial position.

[0080] It should be pointed out that the second reset member 9 is a spring or other elastic element, which is used to provide a reset force after the locking structure 3 is subjected to an external force; the first reset member 6 ensures that the lock buckle 4 automatically resets after the external force is removed, and the second reset member 9 ensures that the locking structure 3 automatically resets after the external force is removed.

[0081] Specifically, one end of the second restoring member 9 is connected to the first fixing portion 302 , and the other end of the second restoring member 9 is connected to the second fixing portion 201 . The first fixing portion 302 and the second fixing portion 201 are hooks or holes.

[0082] Furthermore, at least two groups of limiting structures 5 are provided on the locking structure 3 , and the first fixing portion 302 and the second fixing portion 201 are preferably provided between the two groups of limiting structures 5 .

[0083] Furthermore, the first reset member 6 and the lock buckle 4 are an integrally formed structure or a split-formed structure, and the first reset member 6 includes an elastic cantilever 601 and a support arm 602 , the elastic cantilever 601 abuts against the side wall of the lock buckle 4 , and the support arm 602 is arranged on the movable door 2 .

[0084] like Fig.11 and Fig.14 As shown, a positioning structure is provided between the support arm 602 and the movable door 2, and the positioning structure includes a buckle 202 arranged on the movable door 2 and a limiting groove 6021 arranged on the support arm 602. When the support arm 602 is arranged on the movable door 2, the buckle 202 is clamped in the limiting groove 6021.

[0085] Specifically, when the first reset member 6 and the lock buckle 4 are an integrally formed structure, the first reset member 6 and the lock buckle 4 are processed simultaneously. In this case, the first reset member 6 is a part of the lock buckle 4, and the first reset member 6 does not need to be connected to the lock buckle 4 during assembly, thereby simplifying the assembly steps and effectively improving the assembly efficiency.

[0086] When the first reset member 6 and the lock buckle 4 are of a split structure, a positioning structure is provided between the support arm 602 and the movable door 2, and the support arm 602 is fixedly mounted on the movable door 2 through the positioning structure. When the support arm 602 is hung on the movable door 2, the buckle 202 will be stuck in the limiting groove 6021 to ensure the stability and reliability of the first reset member 6; of course, in other embodiments, the support arm 602 and the movable door 2 can also be fixedly connected by screws, rivets or bonding;

[0087] When the lock buckle 4 is subjected to external force, the support arm 602 of the first reset member 6 will be deformed and store elastic potential energy. Once the external force is removed, the support arm 602 will release the stored elastic potential energy and drive the lock buckle 4 to reset. During this process, the elastic cantilever 601 abuts against the side wall of the lock buckle 4 to provide necessary support and stability.

[0088] Furthermore, at least one side of the elastic cantilever 601 close to the lock buckle 4 is in an arc shape.

[0089] Further, if Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, a first rotating assembly 7 is provided between the movable door 2 and the lock catch 4, and the lock catch 4 can rotate relative to the movable door 2 through the first rotating assembly 7; the first rotating assembly 7 includes a rotating shaft 701 and a positioning hole 702, the rotating shaft 701 is provided on the lock catch 4, and the positioning hole 702 is provided on the movable door 2, and the rotating shaft 701 is matched and connected with the positioning hole 702 to realize the rotation of the lock catch 4 relative to the movable door 2,

[0090] Specifically, the design of setting a first rotating component 7 between the moving door 2 and the lock buckle 4 provides the lock buckle 4 with the flexibility of rotating relative to the moving door 2. When the lock buckle 4 rotates relative to the moving door 2, the rotating shaft 701 will rotate in the positioning hole 702. The user can operate the locking structure 3, and the lock buckle 4 rotates in the positioning hole 702 through the rotating shaft 701, thereby engaging or disengaging with the slot 101 on the fixed door 1, thereby achieving locking or unlocking of the moving door 2.

[0091] Further, if Fig.13 As shown, a receiving space 203 for installing the lock catch 4 is provided on the movable door 2 , and the lock catch 4 can be rotatably installed on the receiving space 203 .

[0092] Specifically, the accommodating space 203 is arranged in the front side of the moving door 2, and its shape and size match the lock buckle 4, ensuring that the lock buckle 4 can be stably installed inside it. The lock buckle 4 is rotatably installed on the accommodating space 203 through the first rotating component 7, so as to cooperate or disengage with the slot 101 on the fixed door 1 to achieve locking or unlocking of the moving door 2.

[0093] Further, if Fig.13 and Fig.14As shown, a second rotating assembly 8 is provided between the locking structure 3 and the moving door 2, and the locking structure 3 can rotate relative to the moving door 2 through the second rotating assembly 8; the second rotating assembly 8 includes a fixed seat 801 and a connecting shaft 802, the fixed seat 801 is arranged on the moving door 2, and the connecting shaft 802 is arranged on the locking structure 3, and the connecting shaft 802 is cooperated and connected with the fixed seat 801 to realize the rotation of the locking structure 3 relative to the moving door 2.

[0094] Specifically, the second rotating component 8 realizes the rotational connection between the locking structure 3 and the moving door 2. Through the rotation of the connecting shaft 802 in the fixed seat 801, the locking structure 3 can adjust the angle or lock / unlock the moving door 2; the fixed seat 801 and the connecting shaft 802 ensure the stability of the locking structure 3 during the rotation process, and the matching connection between them reduces the risk of shaking and misalignment, thereby improving the reliability and durability of the locking structure 3.
