[0002] With the improvement of modern living standards and the acceleration of the urbanization process, the generation amount of household kitchen waste has increased significantly. Kitchen waste not only affects the household environmental hygiene, but also has an adverse impact on the urban environment and public health if not properly treated. Therefore, how to efficiently and environmentally treat household kitchen waste has become an important issue for modern families and urban management.

[0003] Traditional kitchen waste processors are usually designed to be connected to the kitchen sink, using water flow and mechanical force to crush kitchen waste, and then washing away the debris through the drainage system. Although such processors can reduce the volume of kitchen waste to a certain extent, they also have many deficiencies and drawbacks:

[0004] Since traditional kitchen waste processors need to be installed under the sink and connected to the water pipes of the sink, they are relatively large in volume, occupying a lot of kitchen space and affecting the layout and use of the kitchen.

[0005] Moreover, such processors usually require professional personnel for installation and debugging, and the connection with water pipes and power sources is relatively complex, making assembly inconvenient and causing certain troubles to users.

[0006] Traditional processors mainly rely on water flow and simple mechanical crushing, and cannot effectively process harder or larger kitchen waste, resulting in low processing efficiency, poor processing effect, and the need to use a large amount of water resources during the processing process, increasing the household water consumption and drainage burden, which is not conducive to water resource conservation and environmental protection. Since the garbage debris is washed away by water flow, long-term use may cause blockage of the drainage pipeline and generation of peculiar smell, affecting the sanitary environment of the kitchen.

[0034] The following will describe the embodiments of the present utility model in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Embodiment 1:

[0036] As Figures 1 to 20 shown, a kitchen waste processor in this embodiment includes a housing 1. The housing 1 provides an installation position and protection for each component. A feeding chamber 11 is provided inside the housing 1. A feeding port 12 communicating with the feeding chamber 11 is provided on the housing 1, facilitating the user to pour kitchen waste into the device through the feeding port 12 and receiving the kitchen waste through the feeding chamber 11. A shredding component 2 and a stirring barrel 3 are provided inside the housing 1. The shredding component 2 is located between the feeding chamber 11 and the stirring barrel 3. The shredding component 2 can shred the kitchen waste in the feeding chamber 11 and convey the shredded small-volume kitchen waste into the stirring barrel 3. A stirring chamber 31 is provided inside the stirring barrel 3. An inlet 32 communicating with the stirring chamber 31 is provided on the stirring barrel 3. The shredded kitchen waste enters the stirring chamber 31 through the inlet 32. The stirring barrel 3 is provided with a stirring component 4 and a heating component 5. The heating component 5 can heat the stirring chamber 31, thereby heating and evaporating the moisture of the kitchen waste in the stirring chamber 31, accelerating the degradation and treatment process of the kitchen waste, and stirring the kitchen waste in the stirring chamber 31 through the stirring component 4 to ensure uniform heating and full degradation of the kitchen waste.

[0037] With such a design, each component can be integrated into one housing, without the need to be connected to the kitchen sink, reducing the assembly complexity, saving kitchen space, facilitating layout and use, improving the convenience of user installation. Moreover, the shredding component effectively solves the shortcoming of the traditional processor without a shredding function, improving the processing efficiency. Furthermore, heating and fully stirring the shredded small-volume kitchen waste can accelerate the degradation and treatment process of the kitchen waste, reducing odor and pest problems, and improving the sanitation level of the kitchen.

[0038] Preferably, in this embodiment, no microbial mixture can be put into the stirring barrel 3, and only the process of drying and stirring the kitchen waste in the stirring chamber 31 can be carried out. Or a microbial mixture can be put in, combined with the drying and stirring process, and the kitchen waste is degraded by the microbial mixture. This method can more effectively reduce the volume of the waste, and through the action of microorganisms, the waste can also be converted into useful by-products, such as compost. The specific selection of these two operation methods depends on the treatment objectives and specific requirements, such as the type of waste, processing efficiency, and final product, etc., and can be selected according to the actual needs of the customer.

[0039] As Figures 1 to 20As shown, the shredding component 2 of this embodiment includes a shredding housing 21, a tool assembly 22, and a first driving assembly 23. The shredding housing 21 is provided with a shredding chamber 211, an upper opening 222, and a lower opening 223. The upper opening 222 and the lower opening 223 are respectively provided at the upper and lower parts of the shredding housing 21, and the upper opening 222 and the lower opening 223 are respectively communicated with the shredding chamber 211. The upper opening 222 is also communicated with the feeding chamber 11, and the lower opening 223 is also communicated with the feeding port 32. The tool assembly 22 is rotatably arranged in the shredding chamber 211, and the first driving assembly 23 is drivingly connected with the tool assembly 22.

[0040] Specifically, a shredding chamber 211 is provided in the shredding housing 21, and the shredding housing 21 allows materials to enter and exit through the upper opening 222 and the lower opening 223. Food waste is received through the upper opening 222, and the first driving assembly 23 drives the tool assembly 22 to perform shredding operations in the shredding chamber 211. The shredded small-volume food waste is conveyed to the feeding port 32 through the lower opening 223, which helps to ensure that the food waste is fully shredded before entering the next processing step (such as stirring and drying), improving the efficiency and effect of subsequent processing.

[0041] Furthermore, the shredded garbage has a smaller volume and an increased surface area, which is beneficial to subsequent stirring, drying, and microbial degradation processes, improving the overall processing effect and efficiency. Also, by uniformly shredding the garbage, the problem of blockage that may be caused by large pieces of materials during transportation can be avoided, making the entire processing flow smoother.

[0042] As Figures 1 to 20 shown, the tool assembly 22 of this embodiment includes at least two tool shafts 221. The first driving assembly 23 includes a first driving motor 231 and a connecting member 232 located between the tool shaft 221 and the first driving assembly 23. The first driving motor 231 can drive the tool shaft 221 to rotate through the connecting member 232.

[0043] Preferably, at least two tool shafts 221 are arranged in parallel or staggered in the shredding chamber 211. Multiple blades or cutting teeth are provided on each tool shaft for shredding food waste. The design of multiple tool shafts can achieve a more efficient shredding effect, increasing the shredding force and uniformity.

[0044] Preferably, the design of at least two tool shafts 221 increases the cutting surfaces and cutting angles of shredding, enabling more garbage to be processed simultaneously and being able to shred the materials more evenly, reducing the residue of large pieces of garbage. Through efficient shredding, the garbage is crushed into smaller and more uniform particles, reducing the risk of blockage during transportation and subsequent processing steps. The modular design allows the tool shafts and connecting members to be easily disassembled and replaced, making maintenance work simpler and reducing the equipment downtime.

[0045] Preferably, in some other embodiments, the user can adjust the interval between the two cutter shafts 221 in the shredding chamber 211 to adjust the volume of the shredded food waste, and a suitable design can be selected according to actual needs.

[0046] As Figures 1 to 20 shown, the number of cutter shafts 221 in this embodiment is two. Each cutter shaft 221 includes a rotating shaft 2211 and a plurality of blades 2212 provided on the rotating shaft 2211. The plurality of blades 2212 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2211. Each blade 2212 includes a cutting tool holder 2213 and a cutting edge group 2214 provided on the cutting tool holder 2213. The plurality of cutting edge groups 2214 are spirally distributed on the rotating shaft 2211.

[0047] Specifically, the spirally arranged cutting edge groups can more effectively guide the food waste to the shredding area, improve the shredding efficiency. At the same time, the spiral distribution can continuously cut the food waste, which helps to evenly distribute the shredding force, so that the food waste is evenly shredded, reducing the occurrence of large pieces of unshredded food waste.

[0048] Preferably, the spiral cutting edge distribution can help the food waste move forward continuously during the shredding process, thus avoiding the food waste staying in one position and reducing the risk of blockage.

[0049] As Figures 1 to 20 shown, each cutting edge group 2214 in this embodiment includes at least one cutting edge 2215. Preferably, the number of cutting edges 2215 in this embodiment is multiple, and the multiple cutting edges 2215 are annularly spaced on the outer circumferential surface of the cutting tool holder 2213.

[0050] Each cutting edge group 2214 contains multiple cutting edges 2215, which means that the food waste can be cut multiple times within each rotation of the cutter shaft 221, thus significantly improving the cutting efficiency.

[0051] Preferably, the design of annular spacing distribution can evenly distribute the shredding force on the entire outer circumferential surface, avoiding concentration at a certain position. This can not only provide a more uniform shredding effect, but also reduce the large pieces remaining in the food waste during the shredding process. The continuous cutting action of multiple cutting edges can better shred and break the food waste, making the finally produced particles more uniform.

[0052] Preferably, the cutting blade groups 2214 on each cutting blade seat 2213 are correspondingly arranged, that is, the cutting blades 2215 on multiple cutting blade seats 2213 correspond one by one, and the corresponding multiple cutting blades 2215 are spirally distributed on the rotating shaft 2211, so that the corresponding multiple cutting blades 2215 are arranged in a staggered manner in multiple directions on the cutting blade seat 2213. By adopting the corresponding multiple groups of cutting blades spirally distributed on the rotating shaft, a continuous spiral propulsion force can be generated to effectively guide the kitchen waste to the shredding area. This design helps to avoid the kitchen waste getting stuck between the knife shafts 221 and improves the smoothness of feeding.

[0053] By adopting this staggered arrangement design, during the rotation process, multiple cutting blades 2215 can continuously contact the kitchen waste to achieve continuous cutting, thereby improving the shredding efficiency and ensuring the shredding effect.

[0054] Preferably, in some other embodiments, each blade group 2214 only includes one cutting blade 2215, and a suitable design can be selected according to actual needs.

[0055] As Figures 1 to 20 shown, an avoidance gap 2216 is formed between adjacent blades 2212 on each rotating shaft 2211 of this embodiment. The avoidance gap 2216 can avoid the blade group 2214. By adopting such a design, the blade groups 2214 on two rotating shafts 2211 can be arranged in a staggered manner, thereby increasing the frequency of the cutting blades contacting the kitchen waste, being able to cut the kitchen waste more densely, providing a more delicate and uniform shredding effect, and improving the cutting effect and efficiency; and the distance between the two rotating shafts 2211 is small, making the distance between the blade group 2214 and the rotating shaft 2211 small, ensuring that the kitchen waste can be fully shredded when passing through the blade group. The small distance ensures that there will be no large particle residues during the shredding process of the kitchen waste, ensuring that the shredded kitchen waste has a finer particle size.

[0056] Preferably, the angle between each cutting blade 2215 and the cutting blade seat 2213 is an acute angle. The acute angle design makes the blade sharper, can more easily cut into the kitchen waste, reduce the cutting resistance, and improve the cutting efficiency. The acute angle blade can concentrate the cutting force and apply more force to the kitchen waste during cutting, thereby achieving more efficient cutting.

[0057] As Figures 1 to 20 shown, the connecting member 232 of this embodiment includes a gear set. The gear set includes gears 2321 corresponding one by one to the knife shafts 221. The gears mesh with each other. The first driving motor 231 is connected to one of the gears 2321. Specifically, each gear corresponds to a knife shaft 221 and is located at the end of the knife shaft. Through the mutual meshing of the gears, a tight transmission system is formed to achieve synchronous rotation between multiple knife shafts.

[0058] The design of the gear set ensures efficient power transmission, reduces energy loss, enables the cutter shaft 221 to obtain sufficient and stable power. The meshing design of the gears ensures that all cutter shafts can rotate synchronously. The synchronous rotation of multiple cutter shafts can perform shredding at multiple points and from multiple angles simultaneously, effectively improving the shredding ability and uniformity, and enhancing the overall shredding efficiency and effect.

[0059] Preferably, the shredding component 2 adopts a design in which one first driving motor 231 drives multiple cutter shafts 221 to operate, reducing the number of motors and the corresponding control and installation costs, and significantly reducing the overall cost of the equipment.

[0060] As Figures 1 to 20 shown, the shredding housing 21 of this embodiment includes a main housing 224 and a sub-housing 225 detachably connected to the main housing 224. The main housing 224 is provided with an assembly groove 2251 having an opening. The sub-housing 225 is assembled on the main housing 224 and can block the opening of the assembly groove 2251 to enclose a gear cavity for assembling the gear set. The sub-housing 225 is also provided with an avoidance hole 2252. The first driving motor 231 is assembled on the sub-housing 225, and its output end extends into the gear cavity through the avoidance hole 2252 and is connected to the corresponding gear 2321.

[0061] Specifically, the detachable design of the main housing 224 and the sub-housing 225 forms an enclosed gear cavity, which facilitates the installation of the gear set. Moreover, the main housing 224 and the sub-housing 225 can protect the gear set, preventing the gear set from being damaged due to factors such as collision. Additionally, it makes the maintenance and replacement of the gear set more convenient, reduces the equipment downtime, and improves the maintainability of the system.

[0062] As Figures 1 to 20 shown, the main housing 224 of this embodiment includes a rear housing 2241 and a front housing 2242. A connecting portion 2243 is provided inside the front housing 2242. The rear housing 2241 is connected to the connecting portion 2243, and the rear housing 2241 can divide the internal space of the front housing 2242 into a shredding cavity 211 and an assembly groove 2251.

[0063] Specifically, the assembly groove 2251 is provided on the main housing 224 and is formed by the cooperation of the front housing 2242 and the rear housing 2241. The sub-housing 225 is detachably connected to the main housing 224 to close the assembly groove 2251 and form a gear cavity for accommodating the gear set. The shredding cavity 211 is enclosed by a partial space of the rear housing 2241 and the front housing 2242 for accommodating the cutter assembly 22.

[0064] The cutting tool assembly 22 and the gear set are respectively arranged in the shredding chamber 211 and the gear chamber. The shredding chamber 211 is used to accommodate and operate the cutting tool assembly, and the gear chamber is used to accommodate and drive the gear set. Through the partitioning effect of the rear shell 2241, the two chambers are effectively isolated. By arranging the cutting tool assembly 22 and the gear set in two separate chambers respectively, functional interference is avoided, which is convenient for their respective installation and maintenance. The detachable design of the main shell 224 (the rear shell 2241 and the front shell 2242) and the auxiliary shell 225 makes the maintenance and replacement of the gear set and the tool shaft easier, reduces the equipment downtime, and improves the maintainability of the system.

[0065] Preferably, a single motor is used for driving, which reduces the complexity of the structure of the shredding component 2, reduces the volume of the shredding component 2, enables the shredding component 2 to have a certain avoidance position, enables some structures in the food waste processor to be assembled at the avoidance position, makes the equipment structure more compact, and saves the installation space.

[0066] Furthermore, the single-motor system has lower energy consumption compared with the multi-motor system, which helps to save energy and protect the environment, and the noise generated when one motor operates is usually lower, improving the working environment of the equipment.

[0067] Preferably, an exhaust passage 16 is arranged in the housing 1. One end of the exhaust passage 16 is provided with an air outlet communicating with the outside, and the other end is provided with an air inlet communicating with the stirring chamber 31. The gas and water vapor in the stirring chamber 31 can be discharged to the outside through the exhaust passage 16. Preferably, the exhaust passage 16 is located at the avoidance position. With such a design, the structure of the food waste processor can be made more compact, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the volume of the food waste processor.

[0068] As Figures 1 to 20 shown, the connection component 24 of this embodiment includes a plurality of second connection holes arranged on the shredding housing 21. Specifically, an assembly connection hole corresponding to the second connection hole is arranged in the housing 1. When the two are aligned, connection can be achieved through a connecting piece, thereby ensuring the stable connection between the shredding housing 21 and the food waste processor, and having the advantages of simple structure and convenient operation.

[0069] In some other embodiments, the shredding housing 21 and the housing 1 can also adopt connection methods such as clamping and jigging, and appropriate designs can be selected according to actual needs.

[0070] Preferably, the food waste processor of this embodiment has multiple gears. Taking the shredding component having five gears as an example, specifically: For gear 1 of the shredding component, it is used to process very hard food waste, such as extremely hard food waste like large bones (such as beef bones, pork bones), nut shells, etc. The first drive motor 231 drives the cutter shaft 221 to rotate at a relatively low speed, with a large torque, providing the maximum shredding ability, ensuring that hard materials can be processed, effectively shredding very hard waste, and providing the maximum shredding force and shredding efficiency.

[0071] For gear 2 of the shredding component, it is used to process food waste with a relatively hard hardness, such as hard peels (such as coconut shells), hard vegetables (such as carrots), etc. The first drive motor 231 drives the cutter shaft 221 to rotate at a medium - low speed, with a large torque, providing a greater shredding force, increasing the shredding efficiency, ensuring that relatively hard materials can be effectively shredded, and ensuring the shredding effect.

[0072] For gear 3 of the shredding component, it is used to process food waste with a medium hardness, such as fruit pits, small bones, chicken bones, fish bones, etc. The first drive motor 231 drives the cutter shaft 221 to rotate at a medium speed, with a moderate torque, providing sufficient shredding force through the medium speed and torque, ensuring that medium - hardness waste can be efficiently processed. This setting achieves a balance between performance and energy consumption, reduces the risk of blockage, and maintains a stable working noise level.

[0073] For gear 4 of the shredding component, it is used to process food waste between soft and medium hardness, such as ripe fruits, soft meats, soft seafood, etc. The first drive motor 231 drives the cutter shaft 221 to rotate at a relatively high speed, with a small torque, providing a moderate shredding force. Through the relatively high speed and moderate shredding force, the food waste between soft and medium hardness can be quickly processed. This setting can achieve energy conservation by shortening the processing time while ensuring efficiency.

[0074] For gear 5 of the shredding component, it is used to process soft food waste, such as fruit peels, vegetable leaves, breadcrumbs, etc. The first drive motor 231 drives the cutter shaft 221 to rotate at a high speed, with a relatively small torque, suitable for processing easily shredded soft waste. By quickly and efficiently shredding soft waste, the working time of the shredding component can be effectively reduced.

[0075] Preferably, the shredding component also has an automatic reverse mechanism. When excessive resistance is detected, the first drive motor 231 drives the cutter shaft 221 to rotate in reverse, and then drives the cutter shaft 221 to rotate forward, repeatedly cutting the food waste. Through this design of repeatedly switching between forward and reverse rotations, it can ensure that hard food waste can be effectively shredded, and prevent the situation where the cutter shaft 221 is stuck and the shredding component is damaged, ensuring the normal operation of the shredding component.

[0076] As Figure 17 shown, the solid arrow above indicates the feeding direction of food waste, the dashed arrow in the middle indicates the rotating and shredding discharging direction of the cutter shaft, and the hollow arrow below indicates the discharging direction of food waste. It is not limited to the feeding, discharging, and rotating directions shown by these arrows. As Figure 18 shown, the dashed arrow in the middle indicates the retracting rotation and discharging direction of the cutter shaft.

[0077] As Figures 1 to 20 shown, on one side of the housing 1 of this embodiment, there is an assembly port 13. The mixing barrel 3 is detachably connected to the inside of the housing 1 through the assembly port 13. Preferably, in this embodiment, the structure between the mixing barrel 3 and the housing 1 is a drawer type structure, and the mixing barrel 3 can be inserted into or withdrawn from the housing 1 through the assembly port 13.

[0078] Preferably, a slide rail or guide rail system is provided between the mixing barrel 3 and the housing 1 to ensure that the mixing barrel can slide smoothly inside the housing. After the mixing barrel 3 is inserted into the housing, the mixing barrel 3 can be fixed inside the housing through a buckle or locking device to ensure stability during operation, and a sealing strip or seal can be provided at the joint between the mixing barrel and the housing to prevent leakage of liquid or odor.

[0079] Preferably, the drawer type structure design enables the mixing barrel 3 to be quickly inserted into and withdrawn from the housing 1, facilitating the addition and removal of materials (such as microbial mixture, dried and stirred food waste, or degraded food waste) by the user. The user can complete the installation and disassembly of the mixing barrel without complex operations.

[0080] Moreover, the mixing barrel can be easily withdrawn from the housing, facilitating thorough cleaning by the user to ensure the hygiene and cleanliness of the equipment. The drawer type design makes the inspection, maintenance, and replacement of the mixing barrel more convenient. Corresponding operations can be carried out only by withdrawing the mixing barrel. The simple loading and unloading mechanism reduces the time required for equipment maintenance and improves the availability of the equipment.

[0081] As Figures 1 to 20 shown, the mixing component 4 of this embodiment includes a third driving component 41, a connecting component 43, and a mixing shaft component 42. The third driving component 41 is connected to the mixing shaft component 42 through the connecting component 43. The mixing shaft component 42 includes a main shaft 421 and a plurality of sub-shafts 422 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the main shaft 421. One of the sub-shafts 422 is correspondingly arranged with the lower opening 223 of the shredding housing 21. Through this arrangement, the shredding and mixing processes can be carried out continuously, reducing interruptions and stagnation during the material transmission process.

[0082] The material directly falls from the lower opening 223 of the shredding housing onto the corresponding secondary shaft 422. When the material falls into the stirring chamber 31, it can be immediately agitated by the secondary shaft 422 and evenly dispersed into the stirring chamber 31, improving the uniformity of stirring and the heating effect. There is no need for the material to accumulate to a certain extent in the stirring barrel 3 before being agitated. With such a design, it is avoided that the material stays at the same position in the stirring chamber 31 for too long, resulting in the situation of local high-temperature burning and generating peculiar smell of the material at a single position by the heating component 5, further improving the user experience.

[0083] Preferably, the corresponding arrangement of the secondary shaft 422 and the lower opening 223 makes the entire system structure more compact, reduces unnecessary pipelines and transmission devices, simplifies the equipment design. This design reduces the complexity of the material transmission path, makes the maintenance and cleaning of the equipment more convenient, and reduces the maintenance cost.

[0084] Preferably, the secondary shaft 422 in this embodiment is in a U-shaped-like form, having two parallel arms and a bottom connecting these two arms. The U-shaped-like secondary shaft can generate more disturbances during the stirring process, enabling the material to be mixed more evenly.

[0085] Preferably, through holes are provided in the middle area of the U-shaped-like secondary shaft, allowing the material to pass through the secondary shaft, improving the transmission and stirring efficiency. The through holes not only help the material to be better distributed during the stirring process, but also can reduce the accumulation of the material on the secondary shaft. The U-shaped-like secondary shaft structure makes the force during stirring more uniform, reduces the vibration and wear of the secondary shaft and the main shaft, reduces the load of the stirring shaft assembly, and extends the service life of the stirring shaft assembly.

[0086] Moreover, due to the U-shaped-like design and through-hole structure of the secondary shaft, the cleaning process is simpler, and the residues can be effectively cleaned, maintaining the hygiene of the equipment.

[0087] Preferably, each secondary shaft 422 is arranged at an oblique angle, that is, two side walls or one of the side walls of the U-shaped-like secondary shaft are turned over at a certain angle, so that the cut of the secondary shaft 422 is not directly facing the material, and there is a certain slope between the secondary shaft 422 and the material, enabling the side wall of the secondary shaft 422 to turn over the material instead of cutting the material directly. This arrangement method can optimize the stirring effect and reduce the shear force on the material.

[0088] Preferably, multiple secondary shafts 422 are arranged in different directions on the main shaft 421, which can ensure that the material can be agitated from multiple directions during the stirring process, improving the uniformity of stirring.

[0089] Preferably, the number of auxiliary shafts 422 is at least two. Taking the number of auxiliary shafts 422 being three as an example, the auxiliary shafts 422 can be evenly arranged on the main shaft 421 in three directions. Taking the number of auxiliary shafts 422 being four as an example, the auxiliary shafts 422 can be evenly arranged on the main shaft 421 in four directions, ensuring that the material can be agitated from multiple angles during the stirring process, enabling the material in the stirring chamber to be evenly agitated and avoiding dead corners.

[0090] Moreover, each auxiliary shaft 422 is equidistantly arranged on the main shaft 421, ensuring that the material can be evenly distributed during the stirring process and avoiding local overload or uneven stirring.

[0091] With the above design, each auxiliary shaft 422 is offset by an angle along the main shaft 421 to ensure uniform stirring of the material, with uniform force, smaller rotational torque, further optimizing the stirring effect, ensuring uniform force on the material during the stirring process, and reducing the mechanical load.

[0092] Preferably, multiple auxiliary shafts 422 can be distributed at star-shaped intervals, spiral intervals, or circumferential intervals on the main shaft 421 and other distribution methods.

[0093] Furthermore, if the auxiliary shafts 422 are distributed at star-shaped intervals on the main shaft 421, it means that when looking from the side of the main shaft 421, multiple auxiliary shafts 422 are evenly distributed around the main shaft 421 in multiple directions, forming a pattern similar to a star. This distribution method can ensure that the material is agitated from multiple directions during the stirring process and improve the uniformity of stirring.

[0094] If the auxiliary shafts 422 are distributed at spiral intervals on the main shaft 421, it means that they are arranged at a certain angular interval along the main shaft, forming a spiral arrangement. This distribution method helps the material to move along a spiral path during the stirring process, enhancing the stirring effect while reducing the mechanical load.

[0095] If the auxiliary shafts 422 are distributed at circumferential intervals on the main shaft 421, it means that they are evenly distributed around the main shaft on one or more circumferences. This distribution method can ensure that the material is evenly agitated during the stirring process, reduce local overload, and improve the stirring efficiency. The appropriate design can be selected according to actual needs.

The connecting component 43 includes two parts, the plug-in end 431 and the socket 432, and these two parts can be plugged into each other to realize the connection between the third driving component 41 and the stirring shaft component 42.

[0097] Preferably, the insertion end 431 is provided at one end of the stirring shaft assembly 42, and the insertion socket 432 is provided at the output end of the third drive assembly 41: This configuration enables the output power of the drive assembly to be directly transmitted to the stirring shaft, with a firm connection and high power transmission efficiency.

[0098] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the insertion socket 432 is provided at one end of the stirring shaft assembly 42, and the insertion end 431 is provided at the output end of the third drive assembly 41: This configuration can also achieve effective power transmission and provides flexibility to meet different design requirements.

[0099] With such a design, when the mixing barrel 3 is withdrawn from the assembly port 13, the insertion socket 432 and the insertion end 431 are in a separated state, that is, the third drive assembly 41 and the stirring shaft assembly 42 are in a separated state, enabling the third drive assembly 41 and the stirring shaft assembly 42 to be quickly connected and disconnected, simplifying the installation and disassembly process and avoiding the complex operation of manually disconnecting the connection by the operator during the disassembly process.

[0100] When the mixing barrel 3 is reinserted into the housing 1, the insertion socket 432 and the insertion end 431 can be quickly re-docked to restore the connection between the third drive assembly 41 and the stirring shaft assembly 42. This process does not require complex adjustment and tools, saving operation time.

[0101] Preferably, the easily detachable characteristic of the mixing barrel 3 makes the equipment cleaning process more convenient. Especially when it is necessary to clean the stirring shaft assembly 42, due to the simplified connection and disconnection process, the labor and time required for maintenance are reduced, thereby reducing the equipment maintenance cost.

[0102] As Figures 1 to 20 shown, a trigger assembly 17 is further provided in the housing 1 of this embodiment. The trigger assembly 17 is electrically connected to the third drive assembly 41. When the insertion socket 432 and the insertion end 431 are docked, the mixing barrel 3 can trigger the trigger assembly 17 to energize and start the third drive assembly 41.

[0103] When the mixing barrel 3 is withdrawn from the assembly port 13 and the insertion socket 432 is separated from the insertion end 431, the trigger assembly 17 is deactivated, and the third drive assembly 41 is powered off and stops working.

[0104] With such a design, the equipment will only start when the mixing barrel is correctly inserted and docked in place, and will automatically power off when the mixing barrel is pulled out, preventing the equipment from being accidentally started without the mixing barrel, avoiding equipment damage or personal injury caused by misoperation, and improving the operation safety.

[0105] Preferably, the trigger component 17 includes a button assembly seat 171 provided in the shell 1 and a trigger button 172 provided on the button assembly seat 171. The button assembly seat 171 extends toward the assembly port 13. When the mixing barrel is correctly inserted, the bottom of the mixing barrel 3 is located above the button assembly seat 171, and the bottom of the mixing barrel 3 will abut against the trigger button 172 to gradually press the trigger button 172 into the button assembly seat 171. When the plug 432 and the plug end 431 are docked in place, the bottom of the mixing barrel 3 will completely press the trigger button 172 into the button assembly seat 171, thereby triggering the trigger button 172 to power on and start the third drive component 41.

[0106] When the mixing bucket is not correctly inserted, the button assembly seat 171 will hinder the insertion of the mixing bucket, so that the mixing bucket cannot be inserted into the housing 1, prompting the user that the operation is incorrect and needs to be repeated.

[0107] like Figures 1 to 20 As shown, the heating component 5 of this embodiment includes a heating assembly arranged outside the stirring barrel 3, and the heating assembly can be a heating wire, an electric heating film, an electric heating plate or an electric heating tube.

[0108] Preferably, a socket assembly is provided between the kitchen waste bucket 3 and the shell 1, and the socket assembly includes a socket 51 provided in the shell 1 and a plug 52 provided on the heating assembly. When the kitchen waste bucket 3 is assembled to the shell 1, the socket 51 and the plug 52 are connected to power the heating assembly to improve safety performance.

[0109] like Figures 1 to 20 As shown, in this embodiment, a first partition 14 is provided in the shell 1, and the first partition 14 divides the internal space of the shell 1 into two independent first assembly chambers 15 and a second assembly chamber. The shredding component 2 is located in the first assembly chamber 15, and the mixing barrel 3 is located in the second assembly chamber. Through the separation of the first partition 14, each component can be operated independently to avoid cross-influence, thereby improving the stability and operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0110] Preferably, the first assembly chamber 15 accommodates the shredding component 2, which is responsible for the preliminary processing of the material, such as shredding, crushing, etc., and the second assembly chamber accommodates the mixing barrel 3, which is responsible for the further processing of the material, such as mixing, stirring, etc.

[0111] A feeding shell 18 is also provided in the shell body 1, and the feeding chamber 11 is located in the feeding shell 18. The feeding port 12 is provided at the upper part of the feeding shell 18, and the bottom of the feeding shell 18 is connected with the shredding component 2. The feeding shell 18 is a feeding and preliminary storage space for materials. The feeding port 12 is provided at the upper part of the feeding shell 18, which is convenient for users to feed materials. The bottom of the feeding shell 18 is connected with the shredding component 2 to ensure that the materials can smoothly enter the shredding component 2 for processing.

[0112] The independent assembly chamber avoids cross - contamination during different processing procedures, improves the safety and hygiene of operation. Through the independent assembly chamber design, the equipment becomes more modular, and each component can be maintained and repaired independently, reducing the downtime and increasing the utilization rate of the equipment.

[0113] Furthermore, the design of the feeding shell 18 makes the material feeding more convenient, reduces the operation steps, and improves the safety of the feeding process.

[0114] Preferably, both the feeding shell 18 and the exhaust passage 16 are located within the first assembly chamber 15.

[0115] Preferably, the shredding component 2 is detachably connected to the first partition 14. The shredding component 2 is connected to the first partition 14 through detachable connectors (such as bolts, buckles or quick connectors, etc.), ensuring that the shredding component 2 can be quickly disassembled and installed, which is convenient for operation. The detachable design enables the shredding component 2 to be quickly disassembled for maintenance and repair, reducing the downtime and increasing the utilization rate of the equipment.

[0116] When the shredding component 2 fails or needs to be replaced, the detachable design makes the replacement process more simple and fast. The detachable shredding component 2 makes the equipment more modular, and can be flexibly adjusted and replaced according to different production requirements and processing objects. Different types of shredding components can be replaced according to the specific material characteristics and processing requirements, improving the adaptability and processing capacity of the equipment.

[0117] As Figures 1 to 20 shown, a second partition 19 is further provided inside the housing 1 of this embodiment. The second partition 19 divides the second assembly chamber into a third assembly chamber 191 and a fourth assembly chamber 192. The stirring barrel 3 is located within the third assembly chamber 191, and the third drive assembly 41 is located within the fourth assembly chamber 192. Electrical control components such as circuit boards, terminal blocks, etc. are provided within the fourth assembly chamber 192. The setting of the second partition 19 enables a more refined division of the internal space of the housing 1, improving the space utilization rate. The compact layout of each component reduces the overall volume of the equipment. Through the division by the second partition 19, each component forms an independent module, facilitating maintenance and repair. The independent assembly chamber design makes the replacement and repair of components more convenient, reduces the downtime, and increases the availability of the equipment.

[0118] Preferably, the electrical control components are located within the independent fourth assembly chamber 192, isolated from the material processing area. The independent electrical control area facilitates the implementation of protective measures such as dust prevention, waterproofing, explosion protection, etc., ensuring the safe operation of the electrical components.

[0119] Embodiment 2: Embodiment 2 further has the following implementation manners on the basis of Embodiment 1.

[0120] In this embodiment, a collecting box 6 is also provided in the shell 1, and the collecting box 6 is located below the mixing barrel 3. The bottom of the mixing barrel 3 has a slag hole 33, and the bottom of the mixing barrel 3 is also provided with a sealing component 7 capable of sealing the slag hole 33. The shell 1 is also provided with a second driving component 70 capable of driving the sealing component 7 to open the slag hole 33.

[0121] Preferably, a residue hole 33 is designed at the bottom of the mixing barrel 3 for discharging material residues generated during the mixing process. A sealing component 7 is also provided at the bottom of the mixing barrel 3 for sealing the residue hole 33. The second driving component 70 is used to drive the opening and closing of the sealing component 7 to realize automatic control and control the discharge time and amount of the material residues. The collecting box 6 is located below the mixing barrel 3 and is used to collect the material residues dropped from the bottom of the mixing barrel 3 for subsequent cleaning and processing. The automatic control of the sealing component 7 is realized by the second driving component 70, which reduces manual operation and improves work efficiency.

[0122] Preferably, material residues are collected in a collection box 6 to facilitate subsequent cleaning and processing, keeping the equipment clean; the sealing component 7 can effectively seal the slag hole 33 to prevent leakage of material residues and reduce pollution around the equipment; material residues are cleaned regularly to prevent excessive accumulation inside the mixing barrel, thereby reducing equipment failures and improving equipment reliability.

[0123] The sealing component 7 of this embodiment includes a sealing shell 71, a linkage part 72 and a rotating part 73. The linkage part 72 is arranged on one side of the sealing shell 71, and the rotating part 73 is arranged on the linkage part 72 and / or the sealing shell 71. The rotating part 73 is rotatably connected to the mixing barrel 3. The second driving component 70 includes a second driving motor 701 and a toggle block 702 arranged on the output end of the second driving motor 701. The second driving motor 701 can drive the toggle block 702 to rotate so that the toggle block 702 can toggle the linkage part 72. The linkage part 72 drives the sealing shell 71 to rotate on the mixing barrel 3 through the rotating part 73 to open the slag drop hole 33.

[0124] Preferably, through the precise control of the second driving motor 701 and the toggle block 702, the rotation angle of the blocking shell 71 can be precisely adjusted to ensure that the slag dropping hole 33 is fully opened and closed.

[0125] The automated drive design reduces manual intervention and allows complex switch actions to be accomplished with simple operations, thereby improving ease of operation. The one-button control function of the control system simplifies the opening and closing process of the slag drop hole 33, further improving ease of operation.

[0126] Through the cooperation of the linkage part 72 and the rotating part 73, the slag dropping hole 33 can be opened quickly, and the material residue can be discharged in time, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0127] The plugging assembly 7 of the present embodiment further includes a reset assembly 74, which is used to enable the plugging shell 71 to automatically return to its original position after plugging the slag hole 33, thereby ensuring that the slag hole 33 is in a plugged state.

[0128] Preferably, the reset assembly 74 includes an elastic member, one end of which is connected to the blocking shell 71, and the other end of which is connected to the mixing barrel 3, so that automatic reset is achieved through the elastic force of the elastic member.

[0129] Specifically, when the second drive motor 701 drives the toggle block 702 to rotate and toggle the linkage part 72, the linkage part 72 is subjected to force, driving the sealing shell 71 to rotate on the mixing barrel 3 through the rotating part 73 and opening the slag drop hole 33. At this time, the elastic part is in a stretched state due to the movement of the sealing shell 71.

[0130] When the second drive motor 701 drives the toggle block 702 to reset, the toggle block 702 moves away from the linkage part 72, and the force on the linkage part 72 is removed. At this time, the elastic member elastically contracts, pulling the blocking shell 71 to rotate on the mixing barrel 3 through the rotating part 73, and reset to the position of blocking the slag hole 33.

[0131] Through the elastic effect of the elastic member, the blocking shell 71 can automatically return to the blocking state after the slag drop hole 33 is opened, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the operation.

[0132] The elastic force of the elastic member enables the blocking shell 71 to return to its original position quickly, so that the blocking shell 71 can continue to block the slag hole 33. The automatic reset function enables the equipment to operate continuously, reduces downtime, and improves production efficiency.

[0133] Example 3: Example 3 has the following implementation methods based on Example 2.

[0134] The bottom of the mixing barrel 3 of this embodiment is also provided with a limiting component 75, which includes two relatively arranged fixing columns 751 and a limiting bar 752. One end of the two fixing columns 751 is fixed to the bottom of the mixing barrel 3, and the other end thereof extends outward. The two fixing columns 751 are used to assemble the limiting bar 752. The limiting bar 752 is spaced apart from the bottom of the mixing barrel 3 to form a limiting space 753 therebetween. Part of the blocking shell 71 is located in the limiting space 753, and part of the blocking shell 71 can slide in the limiting space 753. The bottom of the blocking shell 71 abuts against the top of the limiting bar 752, and the top of the blocking shell 71 is close to or abuts against the bottom of the mixing barrel 3. Specifically, the limiting component 75 provides stable guidance through the fixing columns 751 and the limiting bar 752 to ensure that the blocking shell 71 slides on a predetermined track to reduce deviation and jamming.

[0135] Moreover, the fixed column 751 and the limiting strip 752 can effectively control the movement range of the plugging shell 71. When the plugging shell 71 is about to exceed the movement range, the side wall of the plugging shell 71 can abut against the side wall of one of the fixed columns 751, avoiding the situation of excessive deviation of the fixed column 751 and improving the accuracy and reliability of the opening and closing operation of the slag dropping hole 33.

[0136] Preferably, the limiting component 75 is arranged at an interval from the rotating part 73, so that the limiting strip 752 and the rotating part 73 cooperate. The limiting strip restricts the rotation range of the plugging shell, and at the same time the rotating part provides smooth rotational support, enabling the plugging shell to rotate stably on the stirring barrel. The rotating part reduces the friction during rotation, and the limiting strip provides guidance and restriction, making the rotation process of the plugging shell smooth and controlled, ensuring its stability during sliding and rotation, reducing deviation and jamming phenomena. The dual supporting mechanism effectively controls the movement range of the plugging shell 71 and improves the accuracy and reliability of the opening and closing operation of the slag dropping hole 33.

A second flow channel 721 communicating with the first flow channel is arranged inside the linkage part 72. The oil and water in the stirring barrel 3 can flow into the first flow channel 712 through the filtering component and be conveyed to the inside of the shell 1 or the outside through the second flow channel 721. Through the design of the filtering component, the first flow channel 712 and the second flow channel 721, the oil and water can be quickly and smoothly conveyed to the inside of the shell 1 or the outside.

The upper part of the feeding section 181 is connected to the feeding port 12, and the bottom of the diversion section 182 is connected to the upper opening 222. The nozzle 81 is arranged on the side wall of the feeding section 181. The diversion section 182 is inclined. The diversion section 182 can ensure that the water body in the feeding housing 18 flows into the shredding cavity 211, avoid excessive water residue in the feeding housing 18. Moreover, the design of the diversion section 182 can also guide the kitchen waste to flow towards the upper opening 222 on the shredding housing 21 under the action of its own weight, and ensure the normal progress of the shredding work.

[0165] Preferably, the water body sprayed by the nozzle 81 can wash the side wall of the feeding section 181 where the nozzle 81 is arranged, and the water body sprayed by the nozzle 81 can wash the bottom of the diversion section 182, and the splashed water body can wash a part of the side wall of the feeding section 181, increasing the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of cleaning.

[0166] Preferably, the nozzle 81 can be an adjustable nozzle. For example: (1) By rotating the nozzle itself or an adjustable ring on the nozzle head, the shape and size of the water spray opening can be changed, thereby adjusting the water spray angle; (2) By sliding the components inside the nozzle to change the shape or direction of the water spray opening, thereby adjusting the spray angle; (3) The nozzle is internally designed with guide vanes, and by changing the angle and position of the guide vanes, the direction and angle of the water flow can be controlled; (4) The nozzle is internally designed with a vortex chamber, and by generating a rotating water flow, the spray angle and shape of the water flow can be changed. The appropriate design can be selected according to actual needs.

[0167] Preferably, in some other embodiments, the flushing assembly 8 includes a nozzle 81 and a connecting water pipe 82. A water supply connecting nozzle 114 is provided on the housing 1. The connecting water pipe 82 is respectively connected to the nozzle 81 and the water supply connecting nozzle 114. The water supply connecting nozzle 114 is connected to an external water supply assembly, and the external water supply assembly directly supplies water to the nozzle 81.

[0168] Embodiment 6: Embodiment 6 further has the following implementation manners on the basis of Embodiment 5.

[0169] Preferably, a micro-touch switch is arranged inside the housing 1. The micro-touch switch is electrically connected to the water supply pump 83. When the upper cover plate 10 seals the feeding port 12, the upper cover plate 10 can trigger the micro-touch switch to make the water supply pump 83 powered on to work. When the upper cover plate 10 opens the feeding port 12, the upper cover plate 10 is away from the micro-touch switch, and the water supply pump 83 is powered off. That is, when the user needs to input kitchen waste, the water supply pump 83 is in a powered-off state, ensuring that when feeding, the nozzle 81 will not spray water to pollute the equipment or the surrounding environment of the equipment.

[0170] Embodiment 7: Embodiment 7 further has the following implementation manners on the basis of Embodiment 1.

[0171] The front shell 2242 of this embodiment includes a front side shell 2244, a left side shell 2245, and a right side shell 2246. The connecting portion 2243 includes first connecting holes provided correspondingly on the inner side walls of the left side shell 2245 and the right side shell 2246. Corresponding limit protrusions 2247 are also provided on the inner side walls of the left side shell 2245 and the right side shell 2246. The limit protrusions 2247 correspond to the cutter shafts 221 one by one. Blade grooves 2248 corresponding to the blades on the corresponding cutter shafts 221 are provided on each limit protrusion 2247.

[0172] Specifically, the front shell 2242 includes a front side shell 2244, a left side shell 2245, and a right side shell 2246. The three form the main part of the front shell. The connecting portion 2243 includes first connecting holes provided correspondingly on the inner side walls of the left side shell 2245 and the right side shell 2246 for connecting with the rear shell 2241 to ensure the structural stability.

[0173] Preferably, the limiting protrusions 2247 are provided on the inner side walls of the left housing 2245 and the right housing 2246, corresponding to the cutter shafts 221 one by one. Each limiting protrusion 2247 is provided with a blade groove 2248 corresponding to the blades on the corresponding cutter shaft 221, ensuring that the blades maintain correct positioning and angle during operation, improving the shredding efficiency, enhancing the shredding efficiency and stability, and being able to reduce the space in the shredding chamber 211, making the space in the shredding chamber 211 more compact, avoiding the situation that kitchen waste falls into other spaces in the shredding chamber 211, resulting in the cutter assembly 22 being unable to shred this part of the kitchen waste, ensuring the shredding efficiency of the shredding components, and ensuring that the shredding components can work properly, minimizing the impact of kitchen waste on the shredding components. Moreover, the detachable design of the main housing 224 (the rear housing 2241 and the front housing 2242) and the auxiliary housing 225 makes the maintenance and replacement of the gear set and the cutter shaft more convenient. The blade groove 2248 can also play a role in positioning and assembly, further optimizing the assembly process.

[0174] Preferably, the blade 2212 includes a cutting tool holder 2213 and a cutting edge group 2214 provided on the cutting tool holder 2213. Each cutting edge group 2214 includes at least one cutting edge 2215. The distance between the cutting edges 221 on one rotating shaft 2211 and the other rotating shaft 2211 is α, where α satisfies: 0 mm ≤ α ≤ 2 mm;

[0175] With such a design, the distance between the cutter shafts 221 is small, enabling the two cutter shafts 211 to cooperate more closely, ensuring that the kitchen waste is shredded evenly and effectively, thus achieving a finer shredding effect. Moreover, the appropriate distance α can also prevent the accumulation of kitchen waste in the cutting area. If the distance is too large, the kitchen waste may be discharged from the lower opening 223 without sufficient shredding process, affecting the shredding effect.

[0176] Preferably, the blade groove 2248 is concentrically arranged with the blade 2212. The concentric distance between the blade groove 2248 and the blade 2212 is β, where β satisfies: 0.25 mm ≤ β ≤ 2 mm; With such a design, the distance between the cutting edge 221 and the inner side wall of the blade groove 2248 is closer. When shredding kitchen waste, the cutting edge 221 can also cooperate with the inner side wall of the blade groove 2248, forcing the kitchen waste between the two to continuously press against the cutting edge 221 under the pressure of the inner side wall of the blade groove 2248, enabling the kitchen waste to be shredded sufficiently, thereby controlling the thickness of the kitchen waste material and ensuring that the shredded kitchen waste meets the expected particle size requirements.

[0177] Moreover, an appropriate spacing β can also prevent kitchen waste from escaping from the cutting area during the shredding process. If the spacing is too large, the kitchen waste may escape through the gap between the cutting edge 221 and the inner wall of the blade groove 2248, affecting the shredding effect. If the spacing is too small, it may lead to an increase in friction between the cutting edge 221 and the inner wall of the blade groove 2248, affecting the operating efficiency of the device.

[0178] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the blade groove 2248 is in the shape of an inferior arc, and the edge of the side wall of the blade groove 2248 matches the acute angle of the cutting edge of the cutting blade 2215. Thus, when the cutting blade 2215 enters the blade groove 2248, an acute-angle cutting is formed between the two. With such a design, the cutting resistance received by the cutting blade 2215 can be reduced, making the cutting smoother and improving the cutting efficiency.

[0179] Preferably, each limiting projection 2247 includes a limiting seat 2249 and a plurality of spaced-apart limiting pieces 22491 provided on the limiting seat 2249. The blade groove 2248 is located between two corresponding limiting pieces 22491. Each limiting piece 22491 extends into the corresponding avoidance gap 2216. The radian of each limiting piece 22491 is similar to or equal to the radian of the side wall of the rotating shaft 2211. With such a design, the limiting piece 22491 extends into the avoidance gap 2216 to form a physical obstacle, and in cooperation with the side wall of the shredding cavity 211, it can limit the free movement of the kitchen waste during the cutting process, preventing the kitchen waste from rotating or revolving during the cutting process. This physical limitation ensures that the kitchen waste maintains a stable position within the cutting area, contributing to achieving uniform and effective cutting.

[0180] Embodiment 8: Embodiment 8 further has the following implementation manners on the basis of Embodiment 7.

[0181] Preferably, the rotating shaft 2211 and the blade 2212 are detachably connected. The cutting tool holder 2213 is provided with multi-sided assembly holes, and the cutting tool holder 2213 is detachably connected to the rotating shaft 2211 through the multi-sided assembly holes. A spacer 2217 is provided between adjacent blades 2212 on the rotating shaft 2211 to ensure a uniform spacing between the blades 2212 and prevent collision and interference between the blades 2212. With the detachable connection design of the blade and the rotating shaft, the daily maintenance and blade replacement of the device are made more convenient, greatly reducing the downtime. Moreover, the design of the multi-sided assembly holes provides a more stable connection, ensuring that the tool holder will not slip or loosen under high-load conditions.

[0182] Preferably, the spacing α in this embodiment is the spacing between the cutting edge 221 on one rotating shaft 2211 and the spacer 2217 on the other rotating shaft 2211.

[0183] Example 9: Example 9 further has the following implementation manners on the basis of Example 7.

[0184] In this embodiment, the rear housing 2241 and the front housing 2244 are respectively abutted against both sides of each limiting protrusion 2247 to ensure the stable positioning of the cutter shaft, further ensuring the stability of the cutter shaft and the blade. Moreover, with such a design, the space in the shredding cavity 211 can be further compressed, making the space in the shredding cavity 211 more compact, and enabling the shredding structure to be more compact, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the shredding structure.
