Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household or similar garbage treatment and cleaning, in particular to a household kitchen waste processor. Background Art

[0002] In China, most urban areas adopt direct-discharge kitchen waste processors. Such kitchen waste processors are generally composed of a fully stainless-steel grinding hammer, an anti-corrosion grinding chamber, a fully stainless-steel grinding disc, etc. A rotating permanent magnet motor drives the rotation of a turntable, grinding hammer, etc. in the grinding chamber. Under the action of centrifugal force, kitchen waste is broken into tiny particles in a very short time and discharged together with water through the pipeline. Currently, commercial kitchen waste processors of companies such as Haier and Chulang all adopt this technology. However, although directly discharging the broken kitchen waste into the sewer pipeline will not block the sewer pipeline, the large amount of kitchen waste entering will still bring treatment pressure to the urban sewage system and reduce the service life of the sewer pipeline. Moreover, this type of kitchen waste processor only realizes the reduction of garbage treatment, and there is almost no harmless treatment and resource treatment for kitchen waste. Although it effectively optimizes the household environment, it does not further process the kitchen waste and does not achieve harmlessness and resource utilization. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a household kitchen waste processor. Most of the existing kitchen waste processor equipment on the market directly discharges the broken waste into the sewage pipeline. Although it does not cause great harm to the sewage pipeline, it will also increase the pressure on the entire urban sewage system, with low harmless treatment ability for kitchen waste and not meeting the requirements of China for the resource utilization of kitchen waste.

[0037] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the attached drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention. Figures 1-10 After the household waste treatment machine of the present invention pours the garbage into the feeding basket 1, it starts to work. Under the action of the cutting knife (crushing knife 205), the garbage is chopped. The chopped garbage enters the spiral extrusion equipment under the action of the pushing plate 206. Inside the equipment, the spiral extrusion processor blades stir and extrude the kitchen waste debris for dehydration treatment. The solid waste advances along the spiral blade 304, and the liquid is discharged through the filter screen into the oil-water separation device 4, separating the solid and liquid in the kitchen waste and realizing solid-liquid separation. The liquid after solid-liquid separation flows out through the drain pipe, enters the oil-water separation device 4 for further treatment, the sewage is discharged, and the oil is collected in the waste oil box 408 and can be collected and processed uniformly. The solid kitchen waste after solid-liquid separation enters the solid waste box 308 through the discharging port 306 and can be taken out after collection, completing the household waste treatment of the whole process.

[0038]

[0039] ​The food waste processor consists of a crushing device, a screw extrusion solid-liquid separation device 3, an oil-water separation device 4 and corresponding connecting and collecting devices, all of which can be installed inside the housing of the waste processor. The first part is the crushing mechanism 2. The cutting knives cut the waste in the feeding basket 1 driven by the rotating motor 208. The waste debris chopped by the cutting knives passes through the material passing holes 204 in the partition plate 203 and enters the discharge channel through the outlet 207 driven by the pushing plate 206, going to the second process. The second part will be the screw extrusion solid-liquid separation device 3. The screw blades 304 extrude the food waste debris driven by the driving motor. Under the action of the blades, the purpose of solid-liquid separation is achieved. The waste liquid is discharged through the drain pipe 410 by filtering through the filter screen, and the remaining solids continue to be extruded. After reaching the discharge port 306, they reach the solid waste box 308 through the slideway. The third part is the oil-water separation device 4. The water passing through the oil-water separation net 401 will flow directly through, while the oil will pass through the oil-water separation net 401 and enter the waste oil box 408 through the collection of the oil collecting tray. The specific working process is as follows: After pouring the food waste into the food waste processor equipment, the food waste is chopped by the mechanical cutting knives and broken into tiny waste particles; then it enters the next process, the screw extruder. In this process, the waste is solid-liquid separated, separating the solid waste from the liquid waste; the solid waste after solid-liquid separation enters the solid waste box 308, and the liquid enters the oil-water separation device 4. After passing through the oil-water separation net 401, the oil and water are separated. The separated waste oil enters the waste oil box 408, and the waste water is discharged through the drain pipe 410 into the following water pipeline. The food waste solids after being processed by the food waste processor are in a loose state and can be used as organic fertilizers. After being mixed with soil, they can be used as good planting soil for growing vegetables, trees, flowers, grass, etc. The equipment structure form of the urban household food waste processor is decentralized. Each component completes the processing process assigned to the device. Each component is connected by pipelines, and the material transportation between processes is achieved by extrusion and height difference. This design uses multiple motors, and each part of the food waste processor needs to be provided with a corresponding power source and a processing structure separated from other mechanisms.

[0040] A partition plate 203 is installed under the cutter wheel composed of multiple crushing knives 205. The partition plate 203 is unevenly distributed with round holes with a diameter of 4 mm, namely the material passing holes 204, for isolating the crushed kitchen waste from the large pieces of kitchen waste that have not been crushed. The small pieces of waste crushed by the cutter wheel can pass through, while the large pieces of waste cannot pass through.

[0041] A pushing plate 206 is installed under the partition plate 203. There can be multiple pushing plates 206, which are arranged at circumferential intervals around the rotating shaft 202. Driven by the motor, the rotating shaft 202 rotates, causing the pushing plate 206 to rotate coaxially with the cutter wheel to perform work. The tiny kitchen waste that has been broken by the cutter wheel and can pass through the partition plate 203 is pushed into the discharge channel (coming out from the outlet 207) to reach the next processing step. This step is mainly for the treatment of kitchen waste with relatively low hardness and high viscosity generated at home.

[0042] The spiral shaft 303 is driven to rotate by the drive motor 309. The material discharged into the feeding port 305 is squeezed under the drive of the blades and discharged through the filter screen. The solid continues to be squeezed until it reaches the discharge port 306 and is discharged, achieving the effect of solid-liquid separation.

[0043] In the utility model, the pitch of the feeding section in the front part of the spiral blade 304 is slightly larger and gradually decreases in the compression section and the discharge section, increasing the extrusion pressure and facilitating solid-liquid separation.

[0044] The separation housing 301 of the screw extrusion solid-liquid separation device 3 and the cylindrical filter screen 302 have the diameter of the feeding end of the spiral shaft 303 and the blade enlarged relative to the diameters of other positions (making the cylindrical filter screen 302 in a stepped shape. The separation housing 301 can be a similar shape to the cylindrical filter screen 302, but larger than the cylindrical filter screen 302 and can cover the cylindrical filter screen 302. See Figure 6 and Figure 7 ), preventing overflow when the flow rate of kitchen waste is large and enabling the kitchen waste entering the screw extrusion solid-liquid separation device 3 to be better transported through the screw extrusion blades. Small holes are evenly distributed on the filter screen, facilitating the waste liquid after solid-liquid separation to flow out through the gap between the filter screen and the housing. The filter screen is directly connected to the discharge port 306 to prevent the waste liquid from flowing back into the filter screen. There are openings at both ends of the housing to facilitate the installation and fixation of the spiral shaft 303 and the blades, reserving the installation position for the bearings. There are four support feet at the lower part of the housing, and the support feet are provided with installation holes.

[0045] The discharge of sewage after the treatment of kitchen waste will cause environmental pollution. Therefore, during the development of kitchen waste treatment equipment, research on sewage treatment also needs to be carried out. At present, most kitchen waste treatment equipment at home and abroad has adopted an oil-water separation mechanism. There are many technologies for the treatment of kitchen waste sewage, but they all have their limitations, such as complex treatment equipment, low space utilization rate, and secondary pollution problems. And there is a method that provides a new way for the treatment of kitchen waste sewage, that is, superhydrophobic and superoleophilic materials, which use the extreme hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties of this material for oil-water separation.

[0046] The reason why superhydrophobic and oleophilic materials allow oil to pass through while water flows away from their surfaces is that the principle of their hydrophobicity and oleophilicity lies in the different surface tensions of oil and water. Different materials have different hydrophilicities due to their different chemical compositions and surface roughnesses.

[0047] Hydrophobic materials are inexpensive, and their preparation methods are diverse. They are also widely used in various industries. For example, they are applied in water supply pipelines to reduce the resistance of water flow in the pipelines and the water loss rate. In the automotive industry, such materials act as surface coatings for car paint to protect the paint. Since many hydrophobic materials have anti-corrosion properties, they are also widely used in metal anti-corrosion and anti-corrosion in the manufacturing of steel equipment. In recent years, hydrophobic materials have also been widely used in sewage treatment, mainly using membrane separation technology. The sewage is passed through a superhydrophobic material membrane to separate the oil and water in the sewage.

[0048] The superhydrophobic and oleophilic material is made into an oil-water separation net 401 and applied to urban household food waste processors. By querying the data, it can be known that the oil-water separation net 401 made of superhydrophobic and oleophilic material can be used for a long time. Without being affected by other factors, each oil-water separation net 401 can be reused more than two thousand times.

[0049] The wastewater in the food waste enters the oil-water separation tank 403 after being separated by the solid-liquid separation device. The lower partition 405 and the oil-water separation net 401 divide the separation tank 403 into three parts: a separation space above the oil-water separation net 401, an oil isolation layer below the oil-water separation net 401, and a water isolation layer 402 at the tail of the oil-water separation net 401. The upper partition 407 is L-shaped and encloses the waste liquid inlet 404 to form a liquid inlet space, so that the waste liquid passes through the fine holes (filter holes 406) on the vertical part of the upper partition 407 and then passes through the oil-water separation net 401. The water will flow directly from the oil-water separation net 401 to the water isolation layer 402, while the oil will pass through the oil-water separation net 401 to the oil isolation layer. The treated wastewater can be directly discharged through the drain pipe 410 connected to the sewage pipe without polluting the environment. The liquid entering the oil-water separation tank 403 will first pass through the filter holes 406 of the upper partition 407 and then enter the oil-water separation net 401, which can filter out some solid particles.

[0050] The oil stains that come to the oil isolation layer through the oil-water separation net 401 can be gathered together through the liquid collecting tray 409 and enter the waste oil box 408. The collected oil can be used for other purposes, such as being used as raw materials for making other energy sources. The structure of this oil-water separation device 4 is very simple. In actual use, the size of the fine holes can also be controlled to extend the time for the wastewater to flow through the oil-water separation net 401, achieving a more thorough oil-water separation goal.

[0051] The housing 5 of the present utility model is designed according to the cooperation and installation of the crushing device, the solid-liquid separation device and the oil-water separation device 4. Installation holes and openings for each device are reserved on the housing to facilitate the installation and cooperation of the devices, and pull openings for the solid waste box 308 and the waste oil box 408 are reserved.

[0052] The housing box cover and the box body are fixed by buckles and can be directly opened with one hand.
