[0031] Next, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. Among them, the terms "first position" and "second position" are two different positions.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installation", "connection", and "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] The present invention provides a waste converter, which can handle household kitchen waste. Of course, in addition to household kitchen waste, the waste converter can also handle other waste. Among them, waste refers to solid waste, which means solid and semi-solid waste generated by humans in production, consumption, life and other activities, and waste generated by animal activities also belongs to waste.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the waste converter includes a housing, and the housing 100 serves as the overall support structure of the waste converter. A first crushing chamber 1 is provided inside the housing, and the first crushing chamber 1 is a space for crushing waste. The first crushing chamber 1 is provided with an inlet, and waste enters the first crushing chamber from the inlet; a rotating knife 12 and a fixed knife 13 are arranged inside the first crushing chamber 1, and a driving mechanism is arranged at the bottom. The driving mechanism is drivingly connected to the rotating knife, and the driving mechanism drives the rotating knife 12 to rotate relative to the fixed fixed knife 13 to stir and crush the waste. Through the cooperation of the rotating knife 12 and the fixed fixed knife 13, the crushing work can be better carried out to crush the waste.

[0036] A heater 7, an air duct assembly, a water storage tank 4 and a condenser 6 are also arranged inside the housing. Among them, the heater 7 is arranged on the outer shell of the first crushing chamber 1 to heat the liquid contained in the waste in the first crushing chamber 1 to convert it into steam; the condenser 6 is communicated with the first crushing chamber through the air duct assembly to suck the steam into its interior in the form of an air flow and convert the steam into liquid, and the condenser 6 is also communicated with the water storage tank 4 to store the condensate in the water storage tank 4.

[0037] The waste converter heats the liquid contained in the waste in the first crushing chamber 1 through the heater 7 to convert it into steam, sucks the steam into its interior through the air duct assembly by the condenser 6 and converts the steam into liquid, and collects the liquid in the condenser 6 through the water storage tank. The waste converter can collect the liquid contained in the kitchen waste, avoid collecting the waste containing liquid after the waste is converted and unable to carry out waste utilization, and affect the final secondary utilization effect.

[0038] Since the direct heating and condensation method consumes a large amount of time and energy, the following improvements are made in this embodiment. Two drain openings 14 are provided at the bottom of the first crushing chamber 1. The drain openings 14 are higher than the bottom of the first crushing chamber. The drain 14 is connected to a downward pipe 5, and the downward pipe 5 communicates with a water storage tank 4. The two drain openings 14 are distributed left and right with a certain distance between them. The intermediate spacing can block debris and prevent the debris from clogging the downward pipe 5.

[0039] In this embodiment, with the design of the downward pipe 5, most of the liquid is directly introduced into the water storage tank 4 through the drain openings 14 at the bottom. Since the specific heat capacity of water is relatively large, heating the residual waste solids and liquid in the first crushing chamber 1 will greatly reduce energy consumption and shorten the processing time, thus reducing the usage cost of the entire device.

[0040] A sealing ring is provided between the downward pipe 5 and the water storage tank 4. The sealing ring includes an installation part and an abutting part. The installation part can be fixedly installed with the intermediate frame of the housing to fix the entire downward water pipeline to the frame in the housing. The bottom of the sealing ring is provided with an abutting part, and the abutting part protrudes downward and extends from the frame in the housing. The abutting part can communicate with the upper port of the water storage tank and avoid liquid leakage at the same time.

[0041] In some embodiments, the structure of the water storage tank 4 is as Figures 5 to 7 shown. A filter element 43 is provided at the top of the inner cavity of the water storage tank 4. A bracket 44 for supporting the filter element 43 is also provided in the inner cavity of the water storage tank 4. The top cover 41 of the water storage tank 4 is provided with a port 42 for connecting the downward pipe, and the projection of the port 42 in the vertical direction falls into the plane where the filter element 43 is located. The filter element 43 can be made of filter cotton, and multiple filtrate openings are provided at the bottom of the bracket 44 to facilitate the passage of liquid.

[0042] The filter element 43 is used to separate solids and liquids from the falling waste. The liquid flows downward, and the solids remain on the filter element 43, thus avoiding the problem of odor to a certain extent.

[0043] In some embodiments, a pipeline extension section 45 is further provided inside the top cover 41 of the water storage tank 4. The pipeline extension section can limit the distance from the filter element and prevent splashing.

[0044] The bracket and the end cover are detachably connected. An end cover docking part is provided at the bottom of the end cover. The bracket is clamped on the outer ring of the limiting part, and the bracket docking part is docked with the end cover docking part. A magnetic part is provided therein to facilitate disassembly.

[0045] In some implementations, a baffle 11 is further provided. The baffle 11 is located at the waste material entrance of the first crushing chamber and is used to receive the waste solids splashed out of the first crushing chamber during the crushing process. The baffle 11 is provided with a leakage hole 110, and the leakage hole 110 is connected to the water storage tank 4 through a pipeline. The baffle can solve the problem of the treated material leaking outward. Of course, the baffle is not a necessary structure. The baffle can be provided as a detachable structure.

[0046] In some embodiments, secondary crushing is provided, that is, a second crushing chamber 2 is also provided, and a collecting chamber 3 is provided, and the first crushing chamber 1 is located above the second crushing chamber 2. A valve is provided on the connecting passage between the two, and the collecting chamber 3 is located below the second crushing chamber, and the second crushing chamber is connected to the collecting chamber for inputting the crushed waste solids into the collecting chamber. The second crushing chamber 2 can be a cabin with a rotary cutter 12 for further crushing, or it can be directly used as a passage cabin to transfer the waste to the collecting chamber 3, and the collecting chamber 3 serves as the final collecting cabin.

[0047] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
