Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies that easily lead to uneven temperature when heating waste, and provides a microbial degradation device for kitchen waste that ensures a uniform internal temperature by rotating the degradation tank.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A microbial degradation device for kitchen waste includes a support base, a degradation tank, a rotating assembly, and a heating assembly. The degradation tank is mounted on the support base and is rotatably connected to the support base. The rotating assembly is installed on the degradation tank. One end of the heating assembly is rotatably connected to the support base. The degradation tank is placed inside the heating assembly. An opening and closing door is installed on the degradation tank.

[0007] The support base supports the entire device, including the degradation tank, which contains food waste for degradation. Food waste is added through a door on the degradation tank. After addition, the door is closed, and the tank rotates via a rotating assembly. Since the degradation tank is located within a heating assembly, the heating assembly heats the tank to achieve a suitable temperature for the microorganisms inside, accelerating the degradation of the food waste. During heating, the tank rotates to ensure a uniform internal temperature. The heating assembly is rotatably connected to the support base, allowing the heating assembly to be rotated away from the degradation tank, thus achieving the goal of maintaining a uniform internal temperature.

[0008] Preferably, the support base includes a base and support rods. Two support rods are provided and respectively installed on both sides of the base. A rotating shaft is installed at both ends of the degradation tank. The degradation tank is rotatably connected to the support rods via the rotating shafts. The rotating assembly includes a gear ring and a motor. The gear ring is installed on the degradation tank, and the motor is installed on the base. A gear is installed on the motor shaft of the motor, and the gear meshes with the gear ring. The base of the support base is placed on the ground, and the degradation tank is supported by the support rods on both sides. The degradation tank is rotatably connected to the support base via the rotating shafts. The rotation of the degradation tank is driven by the motor, which meshes with the gear ring on the degradation tank via the gear, thereby driving the degradation tank to rotate and ensuring even internal heating. This design allows the degradation tank to rotate.

[0009] Preferably, the degradation tank is equipped with several circumferentially distributed stirring blades, a pressure relief valve, and a thermometer. The circumferentially distributed stirring blades inside the degradation tank rotate with the tank, agitating the food waste within. This agitation accelerates degradation while maintaining a consistent internal temperature, preventing uneven temperature distribution. The pressure relief valve prevents excessive pressure buildup during microbial degradation as it releases a large amount of gas. The thermometer allows for temperature measurement and adjustment, facilitating the control of the internal temperature of the degradation tank.

[0010] Preferably, the degradation tank is provided with a feed inlet, the opening and closing door corresponds to the feed inlet and fits snugly against the degradation tank, a sealing block is installed on the inner side of the opening and closing door, the sealing block matches the feed inlet, one side of the opening and closing door is rotatably connected to the degradation tank, and a fixing block is installed on the other side of the opening and closing door. The fixing block is provided with a fixing groove, the degradation tank is provided with a stud, one end of the stud is connected to the degradation tank, the stud matches the fixing groove, and a fixing nut is installed on the stud. The degradation tank has an inlet for adding kitchen waste. After adding kitchen waste, the opening and closing door is rotated to fit against the side of the degradation tank. At the same time, the sealing block installed on the inner side of the opening and closing door is inserted into the inlet to seal the inlet, ensuring the sealing of the degradation tank during rotation. When the opening and closing door is rotated to fit against the degradation tank, the fixing groove on the opening and closing door fits against the stud. Then, the opening and closing door is fixed to the degradation tank by the fixing nut on the stud, ensuring the sealing of the degradation tube. This design can ensure the sealing of the inlet.

[0011] Preferably, the heating assembly includes a heating ring, a rotating rod, and a second motor. The heating ring has a U-shaped cross-section. Both ends of the rotating rod are connected to the inner side of the heating ring. The rotating rod is rotatably connected to a support rod. A second gear is mounted on the rotating rod. The second motor is mounted on the support rod, and a third gear is mounted on the motor shaft of the second motor. The second and third gears mesh. To ensure that the temperature inside the degradation tank is suitable for microbial degradation, a heating ring is installed on the support rod on one side of the base. The heating ring is rotatably connected to the support rod via the rotating rod. When the U-shaped heating ring is in a horizontal position, it can cover the degradation tank, thereby better heating the degradation tank. When the degradation tank does not need to be heated, the meshing of the third gear on the second motor and the second gear on the rotating rod drives the rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod can drive the heating ring to rotate together, thus moving it away from the degradation tank and operating the degradation tank. This design can heat the degradation tank.

[0012] Preferably, a support block is installed on the base, with its upper end contacting the heating ring. A limiting plate is installed on the support rod, corresponding to the heating ring. Because the heating ring is relatively long and requires support in a horizontal position, the support block on the base ensures its position. When the heating ring is horizontally covering the degradation tank, its open end rests on the support block. When the heating ring needs to be vertical and away from the degradation tank, one end rests on the limiting plate of the support rod, ensuring the heating ring remains vertical. This design effectively supports the heating ring.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the internal temperature is kept uniform by rotating the degradation tank, the internal temperature of the degradation tank can be easily controlled by rotating the degradation tank, the sealing of the feed inlet can be ensured, the degradation tank can be heated, and the heating ring can be supported.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, a microbial degradation device for kitchen waste includes a support base 1, a degradation tank 2, a rotating component 3, and a heating component 4. The degradation tank 2 is mounted on the support base 1 and is rotatably connected to the support base 1. The rotating component 3 is mounted on the degradation tank 2. One end of the heating component 4 is rotatably connected to the support base 1. The degradation tank 2 is placed inside the heating component 4. An opening and closing door 5 is mounted on the degradation tank 2.

[0023] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the support base 1 includes a base 11 and a support rod 12. There are two support rods 12, which are respectively installed on both sides of the base 11. The degradation tank 2 is equipped with a rotating shaft 21 at both ends. The degradation tank 2 is rotatably connected to the support rod 12 through the rotating shaft 21. The rotating component 3 includes a gear ring 31 and a motor 32. The gear ring 31 is installed on the degradation tank 2, and the motor 32 is installed on the base 11. A gear 33 is installed on the motor shaft of the motor 32, and the gear 33 meshes with the gear ring 31.

[0024] The degradation tank 2 is equipped with several circumferentially distributed stirring blades 22, a pressure relief valve 23, and a thermometer 24.

[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, the degradation tank 2 is provided with a feed inlet 25, and the opening and closing door 5 corresponds to the feed inlet 25. The opening and closing door 5 is fitted with the degradation tank 2. A sealing block 51 is installed on the inner side of the opening and closing door 5. The sealing block 51 matches the feed inlet 25. One side of the opening and closing door 5 is rotatably connected to the degradation tank 2. A fixing block 52 is installed on the other side of the opening and closing door 5. A fixing groove 53 is provided on the fixing block 52. A stud 26 is provided on the degradation tank 2. One end of the stud 26 is connected to the degradation tank 2. The stud 26 matches the fixing groove 53. A fixing nut 27 is installed on the stud 26.

[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, the heating assembly 4 includes a heating ring 41, a rotating rod 42, and a second motor 43. The heating ring 41 has a U-shaped cross-section. Both ends of the rotating rod 42 are connected to the inner side of the heating ring 41. The rotating rod 42 is rotatably connected to the support rod 12. A second gear 44 is installed on the rotating rod 42. The second motor 43 is installed on the support rod 12. A third gear 45 is installed on the motor shaft of the second motor 43. The second gear 44 meshes with the third gear 45.

[0027] A support block 13 is installed on the base 11. The upper end of the support block 13 contacts the heating ring 41. A limit plate 14 is installed on the support rod 12. The limit plate 14 corresponds to the heating ring 41.

The opening and closing door 5 is fixed by tightening the fixing nut 27, so that the sealing block 51 on the inside of the opening and closing door 5 seals the feed inlet 25.

[0029] After the degradation tank 2 is sealed, motor 32 actuates, causing the degradation tank 2 to rotate through the meshing of gear 33 and gear ring 31, thus agitating the kitchen waste.

[0030] The degradation tank 2 is heated to reach a suitable temperature for microbial degradation. At the same time, the pressure relief valve 23 can release the internal pressure of the degradation tank 2, and the internal temperature of the degradation tank 2 can be measured by the thermometer 24 to complete the degradation of kitchen waste in the degradation tank 2.
