[0029] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figures 1-3 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The specific embodiments described herein are merely used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0030] Example:

[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a kitchen waste shredder with a feeding hopper, including a feeding hopper 1, a protective cover 2, a rubber roller 3, a magnet 4, a spray pipe 5, a magnetic switch 6, a strong magnet 7, an overflow connector 8, a bearing 11, a sealing ring 12, a housing 14, a motor 15, and a shredding mechanism. The shredding mechanism includes a fixed ring cutter 9, a rotating cutter disc 10, and a shredding chamber 13.

[0032] This structure is primarily used for shredding and reducing food waste in commercial kitchens. During operation, it can shred food waste with a maximum diameter of 100mm into particles smaller than 5mm for easier collection and disposal. For instructions on using the shredder, please refer to the following:

[0033] The top of the feeding hopper 1 is equipped with a protective cover 2 and a rubber roller 3. A spray pipe 5 is installed on the side of the top of the feeding hopper 1 away from the protective cover 2. The fixed ring blade 9 and the rotating blade 10 are both located inside the crushing chamber 13. The fixed ring blade 9 is fixed inside the crushing chamber 13 and located above the rotating blade 10. The output end of the motor 15 passes through the bottom of the crushing chamber 13 and is connected to the rotating blade 10. When using the feeding hopper 1, put the kitchen waste into the feeding hopper 1. When putting it in, you can tap the rubber roller 3 on the feeding hopper 1 to completely discharge the kitchen waste in the container. When there is residual kitchen waste in the feeding hopper 1, you can use the spray pipe 5 to continuously spray water to flush the kitchen waste into the crusher. Inside the pulverizing chamber 13, the fixed ring blade 9 and the rotating blade disc 10 are used for pulverization. The fixed ring blade 9 is stationary, while the rotating blade disc 10 is driven by the motor 15 to rotate at a high speed of 1450 r / min. The kitchen waste is crushed by the impact of the rotating blade disc 10. The crushed particles are dispersed in all directions due to centrifugal force and pushed towards the fixed ring blade 9. They are sheared into smaller particles between the two and discharged from the gaps in the fixed ring blade 9. Finally, they are discharged from the drain pipe of the pulverizing chamber 13 with the water flow. The kitchen waste is pulverized more thoroughly, the working efficiency is higher, the waste cleaning efficiency is higher, the waste accumulation is reduced, and it is also convenient for subsequent harmless waste treatment.

[0034] This application also includes a safety protection system. The top of the feeding hopper 1 has a protective cover 2, and the bottom of the protective cover 2 has a magnet 4. The feeding hopper 1 is equipped with a magnetic switch 6. When the protective cover 2 is closed, the magnet 4 approaches the magnetic switch 6 to form a circuit, and the motor 15 is allowed to work. When the protective cover 2 is opened, the magnet 4 moves away from the magnetic switch 6, the circuit is broken, and the motor 15 will also stop, which can ensure the safety of the user.

[0035] To improve the lifespan of this application, a strong magnet 7 is installed in the middle of the outer side of the feeding hopper 1. When there are metal objects mixed in with the kitchen waste, they will be attracted into the hopper and will not flow into the crushing chamber 13, thus avoiding jamming and damage to the crushing mechanism. An overflow port and an overflow connector 8 are opened on the outer side of the feeding hopper 1 near the protective cover 2 to prevent water from overflowing from the feeding hopper 1.

[0036] In summary, this application, through the arrangement of the feeding hopper 1, fixed ring blade 9, rotating blade disc 10, crushing chamber 13, outer shell 14, and motor 15, allows the user to feed kitchen waste into the crushing chamber 13 through the feeding hopper 1. Starting the motor 15 drives the rotating blade disc 10 to rotate at high speed, working in conjunction with the fixed ring blade 9 to more thoroughly crush the kitchen waste, resulting in higher work efficiency, higher waste cleaning efficiency, reduced waste accumulation, and easier subsequent harmless waste treatment. The magnet 4 on the protective cover 2 forms a circuit when the cover is closed, allowing the motor 15 to operate. When the cover is open, the magnet moves away from the magnetic switch 6, breaking the circuit and stopping the motor 15; this ensures user safety and improves the safety of the device. A strong magnet 7 is installed at the bottom of the feeding hopper 1, which attracts metal objects mixed in with the kitchen waste, preventing them from flowing into the crushing chamber and avoiding jamming or damage to the crushing mechanism, thus extending the device's service life.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
