Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of food waste processors, and specifically relates to a partition plate for a food waste processor. Background Art

[0002] With the development of technology, in order to more conveniently process kitchen waste, in the prior art, a food waste processor is installed below the water outlet of a sink to process kitchen waste. Specifically, the food waste processor crushes food residues into small enough particles, and uses the water flowing out of the faucet above the sink to form a Venturi principle in the food waste processor to pull air out of the high-pressure environment in the grinding part of the food waste processor, and then discharge it.

[0003] During the operation of traditional food waste processors, it is easy for the crushed garbage and water to splash. Therefore, in the prior art, a partition plate is covered at the opening of the food waste processor or the water outlet of the sink to prevent objects from splashing. However, other problems will still occur when the food waste processor is actually used, including: generating noise, which is to some extent caused by the operation of the motor and the impact of food on the processor body and grinding components, and the partition plates in the prior art cannot well solve this problem, and the noise generated by the operation of the food waste processor can still be easily heard by users; water cannot enter the food waste processor better because when the food waste processor is running, it is necessary to continuously add water to ensure that the garbage debris flows out better and for the functions of crushing and lubrication. The cover plates in the prior art either directly cover the inlet of the food waste processor comprehensively. Although it has a good effect of preventing splashing, it cannot ensure continuous water inflow into the food waste processor. In the prior art, a partition plate in the form of a funnel is also used. Although it can solve the problems of preventing splashing and continuous water inflow at the same time, due to the need to solve two problems, when balancing, the size of the liquid outlet of the funnel-shaped partition plate is limited to prevent the slag from flying out. However, in this case, when continuously adding water, the water inflow speed in the funnel is much greater than the water outflow speed, resulting in excessive accumulation of water in the funnel-shaped partition plate and not being able to enter the food waste processor better. Moreover, in order to ensure continuous water addition, the faucet cannot be closed, so it is very easy for the water in the funnel to overflow into the sink; at the same time, the partition plates provided in the prior art to prevent splashing, when adding water, since water continuously flows into the food waste processor, but before reaching the crushing standard inside, it will not discharge the water and garbage in the crushing space, resulting in a phenomenon of only inflow and no outflow in the crushing space of the food waste processor, making subsequent water addition more difficult because it is difficult to balance the internal and external air pressures. Therefore, it is very necessary to propose a partition plate for a food waste processor to solve the above-mentioned existing problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] A buffer member extending towards the center of the main body is provided on the inner surface of the inclined member, and the buffer members are spaced apart on the inner surface of the inclined member for slowing down the falling speed of the water flow.

[0007] An air vent is provided between two adjacent buffer members.

[0008] It should be noted that in this application, the air vent is a through hole, that is, one end opening of the air vent is provided inside the main body, and the other end opening is opened on the outer surface of the inclined member to ensure the communication between the inside of the main body and the inside of the food waste processor.

[0009] And in this application, "outer" refers to the side of the main body that forms a space with the food waste processor, while "inner" is the inside of the "funnel", that is, the side that receives the liquid, and "upper" is the water source direction when water enters the partition plate, that is, the direction of the faucet, and "lower" is the liquid outlet direction of the "funnel-shaped" partition plate, which can be understood as the position where the food waste processor is located.

[0010] Preferably, the buffer member at least includes a step portion and an inclined surface.

[0011] Preferably, the step portion at least includes:

[0012] A first buffer surface, one end of the first buffer surface is connected to the inclined member, and the other end extends obliquely towards the liquid outlet direction;

[0013] A connecting surface, the upper end of the connecting surface is connected to the end of the first buffer surface far from the inclined member, and its lower end extends towards the liquid outlet direction;

[0014] A second buffer surface, one end of the second buffer surface is connected to the lower end of the connecting surface, and the other end extends obliquely towards the liquid outlet direction.

[0015] In the present application, the connecting surface can be set to be inclined or vertical.

[0016] Preferably, one end of the inclined surface is connected to the end of the second buffer surface far from the connecting surface, and the other end extends obliquely downward to the liquid outlet.

[0017] Preferably, the circumferential widths of the first buffer surface, the connecting surface, the second buffer surface, and the inclined surface gradually decrease from the end close to the inclined member to the end close to the liquid outlet.

[0018] Preferably, the stepped portion further includes two buffer side walls. One end of each buffer side wall is connected to one side of the first buffer surface, the connecting surface, the second buffer surface, and the inclined surface, and the other end extends obliquely downward to the inner surface of the inclined member. The two buffer side walls are oppositely arranged on both sides of the inclined surface.

[0019] In the present application, the two side walls of the stepped portion can be inclined or vertical.

[0020] Preferably, the horizontal height of the ventilation hole is at least higher than the highest point of the second buffer surface.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0028] 1. By providing a funnel-shaped partition, the present application can prevent solid and liquid splashing during the operation of the food waste processor. At the same time, the ventilation holes can balance the air pressure above and below the partition, enabling water to flow better into the food waste processor and preventing excessive water accumulation in the partition.

[0029] 2. The ventilation holes can be used as overflow ports. Even if the water inflow speed is relatively high and there is a large amount of water accumulated in the partition, when the water level reaches the exhaust port, it will enter the food waste processor from the exhaust port, keeping the water level in the partition always between the liquid outlet and the ventilation holes, thus preventing water from overflowing into the sink.

[0030] 3. The ventilation holes are set at a relatively high position. A simple partition cannot effectively block sound transmission. When the ventilation holes at a relatively high position are used as both overflow ports and ventilation holes, they can not only balance the air pressure but also keep the water level in the partition between the liquid outlet and the ventilation holes as described above. In this way, a large amount of water accumulated in the partition can be used to block sound transmission, thereby preventing the noise generated during the operation of the food waste processor from reaching the user's ears and achieving noise reduction by changing the sound transmission path.

[0031] 4. The provision of the buffer member can slow down the downward flow rate of water by increasing the area through which water flows. Part of the water can flow downward into the food waste processor between adjacent buffer members, while the other part of the water flows through the buffer member and then into the food waste processor through the liquid outlet, reducing the number of instantaneous impact forces from multiple directions at the liquid outlet and also reducing the value of the instantaneous impact force, ensuring that water can flow more smoothly into the food waste processor.

[0038] Next, in combination with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model Figures 1-5 , the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , embodiments of the present utility model:

[0040] Embodiment 1:

[0041] As Figures 1-2 shown: A partition board for a food waste processor, main body 1, the main body 1 is in a funnel shape, a sealing connector 2, an inclined part 3 and a liquid outlet 4 are arranged on the main body 1, the upper end of the inclined part 3 is connected to the lower end of the sealing connector 2, and the lower end of the inclined part 3 converges towards the inside of the main body 1 to form the liquid outlet 4.

[0042] A buffer part 5 extending towards the center of the main body 1 is arranged on the inner surface of the inclined part 3, and the buffer parts 5 are arranged at intervals on the inner surface of the inclined part 3 to slow down the falling speed of the water flow.

[0043] A ventilation hole 6 is arranged between two adjacent buffer parts 5.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the buffer part 5 is formed by the inward folding and protruding of the inclined part 3.

[0045] In this embodiment, by arranging the buffer part 5, the falling speed of the water can be slowed down by increasing the area through which the water flows. Part of the water can flow downward between adjacent buffer parts 5 into the food waste processor, while the other part of the water flows through the buffer part 5 and then into the food waste processor through the liquid outlet 4, reducing the number of instantaneous impact forces from multiple directions at the liquid outlet 4 and also reducing the value of the instantaneous impact force, ensuring that the water can flow more smoothly into the food waste processor.

[0046] The funnel-shaped partition board can prevent the solid and liquid from splashing when the food waste processor is running. At the same time, the arrangement of the ventilation hole 6 can balance the air pressure above and below the partition board, enabling the water to flow better into the food waste processor and preventing the water from accumulating excessively in the partition board.

[0047] Moreover, the vent hole 6 can be used as an overflow port. Even if there is a large amount of water accumulated in the partition due to a relatively high water inlet speed, when the water level reaches the exhaust port, it will enter the food waste processor from the exhaust port, so that the water level in the partition is always between the liquid outlet 4 and the vent hole 6, preventing water from overflowing into the sink.

[0048] Such as Figure 3 shown: The buffer member 5 at least includes a stepped portion and an inclined surface 7.

[0049] In this embodiment, the stepped surface is provided to further increase the area through which the water flows and further reduce the amount of concentrated pressure received at the liquid outlet 4.

[0050] The stepped portion at least includes:

[0051] A first buffer surface 8, one end of the first buffer surface 8 is connected to the inclined member 3, and the other end extends obliquely towards the liquid outlet 4;

[0052] A connecting surface 9, the upper end of the connecting surface 9 is connected to the end of the first buffer surface 8 far from the inclined member 3, and its lower end extends towards the liquid outlet 4;

[0053] A second buffer surface 10, one end of the second buffer surface 10 is connected to the lower end of the connecting surface 9, and the other end extends obliquely towards the liquid outlet 4.

[0054] The settings of the first inclined surface 7 and the second inclined surface 7 further improve the buffering of water.

[0055] As shown in the figure: One end of the inclined surface 7 is connected to the end of the second buffer surface 10 far from the connecting surface 9, and the other end extends obliquely downward to the liquid outlet 4.

[0056] In this embodiment, the inclined surface 7, the first buffer surface 8, and the second buffer surface 10 are all connected to each other and are inclined from the upper end of the inclined member 3 to the liquid outlet 4. While providing buffering, it can also ensure that when the water leaves the inclined surface 7, it will not splash excessively to the opposite side due to inertia, but will be buffered along the inclined surfaces until it reaches the liquid outlet 4, increasing the stability of this embodiment.

[0057] Such as Figures 3-5 shown: The circumferential widths of the first buffer surface 8, the connecting surface 9, the second buffer surface 10, and the inclined surface 7 gradually decrease from the end close to the inclined member 3 to the end close to the liquid outlet 4.

[0058] In this embodiment, such a setting is to form a tapered water flow channel between every two buffer members 5, so that the water flow channel provides good guidance for the flowing-down water, and also further increases the water flow speed difference between the water flowing between the water flow channels and the water flowing through the buffer member 5.

[0059] As Figures 4-5 shown: In this embodiment, the buffer side wall 11 is perpendicular to the inclined member 3.

[0060] As Figures 2-3 shown: The ventilation hole 6 is arranged at the connection of the sealing connector 2 and the inclined member 3.

[0061] As Figures 2-4 shown: At the connection of the sealing connector 2 and the inclined member 3, there is a boss 12 extending horizontally towards the central axis of the main body 1, and the ventilation hole 6 is arranged on the boss 12.

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, it can prevent the flowing-down water from entering the food waste processor without passing through the ventilation hole 6, and avoid the flowing-down water covering the outside of the ventilation port, which affects the air discharge in the food waste processor, ensuring that the water flows into the food waste processor normally. At the same time, it does not affect the use of the ventilation hole 6 as an overflow hole after the water accumulates in the partition and the water level rises to the ventilation hole 6.

[0063] And the ventilation hole 6 is arranged at a relatively high position. First of all, a simple partition cannot effectively block the sound transmission. When the ventilation hole 6 at a relatively high position is used for overflow and ventilation, it can not only balance the air pressure, but also keep the water level in the partition between the liquid outlet 4 and the ventilation hole 6 as described above. In this way, a large amount of water accumulated in the partition can be used to block the sound transmission, thereby preventing the noise generated during the operation of the food waste processor from reaching the user's ears, and achieving noise reduction by changing the sound transmission path. It should be noted that when the ventilation hole 6 is used for overflow and ventilation, the two do not affect each other. During overflow, the water in the partition will flow into the food waste processor from the relatively lower half position of the ventilation hole 6, while the air in the food waste processor will be discharged from the relatively upper half position of the ventilation hole 6, that is, the entire cross-section of the ventilation hole 6 will not be covered during overflow.

[0064] As Figure 3 shown: The outer surface of the sealing connector 2 is provided with a sealing installation groove 13.

[0065] In this embodiment, to ensure the stability of the partition, the installation groove 13 in this embodiment can be stably connected to the water outlet of the vegetable washing pool. Because during operation, the splashes generated during shredding will impact the partition, the stability of the partition further enhances the anti-splash effect. And the setting of the installation groove 13 can also improve the sealing performance between the partition and the vegetable washing pool, preventing unpleasant odors from overflowing from the drain of the vegetable washing pool.

[0066] Example 2:

[0067] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, the buffer side walls are inclined.

[0068] That is, the stepped portion further includes two buffer side walls 11. One end of each buffer side wall 11 is connected to one side of the first buffer surface 8, the connecting surface 9, the second buffer surface 10, and the inclined surface 7, and the other end extends downward and obliquely into the inner surface of the inclined member 3. And the two buffer side walls 11 are oppositely arranged on both sides of the inclined surface 7.

[0069] Example 3:

[0070] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, the ventilation holes 6 are arranged on the inner surface of the inclined member 3, and the height of the ventilation holes 6 is higher than the height of the second buffer surface 20.

[0071] That is, the horizontal height of the ventilation holes 6 is at least higher than the highest point of the second buffer surface 10;

[0072] A boss 12 extending horizontally in the direction close to the central axis of the main body 1 is arranged on the inclined member 3, and the ventilation holes 6 are arranged on the boss 12.

For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention, the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms.
