[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all. The description of the at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative, and is by no means any limitation on the present application and its application or use.

[0028] Embodiment one

[0029] As Figure 1The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a food waste disposer provided in this application, including a housing 5, a waste container 6, a stirring mechanism, and a drying mechanism 7. The waste container 6 may have a top opening as a food waste inlet. The stirring mechanism is used to stir and pulverize the food waste in the waste container 6 to ensure more uniform mixing. The drying mechanism 7 is used to heat and dry the food waste in the waste container 6 to reduce its moisture content, thereby reducing the probability of stratification and clumping during stirring and pulverizing, resulting in more uniform mixing and reducing bacterial growth and odor. The stirring mechanism and drying mechanism 7 are disposed within the housing 5 to process the food waste in the waste container 6 within the housing 5.

[0030] The stirring mechanism includes a stirring assembly, a limiting member 2, and a stirring motor 10 capable of forward and reverse rotation. The stirring assembly includes a main shaft and multiple stirring blades 1 connected to the main shaft. The main shaft is placed inside the waste container 6 and is coaxially arranged with the waste container 6. The lower end of the main shaft extends from the bottom of the waste container 6 and is connected to the stirring motor 10 located at the bottom of the waste container 6 via a transmission assembly. During assembly, the main shaft and the waste container 6 should maintain a rotating and sealed connection. The multiple stirring blades 1 are coaxially connected to the main shaft and are staggered in the height direction to stir and crush the kitchen waste at different heights inside the waste container 6.

[0031] The limiting member 2 extends between the mixing blades 1 to clear accumulated food waste between them. The limiting member 2 prevents food waste from stratifying and clumping during mixing, and also prevents larger pieces of food waste (such as bones) from getting stuck between the mixing blades 1 and causing the mixing mechanism to jam. In some embodiments, the limiting member 2 can be blade-shaped to assist the mixing blades 1 in crushing the food. The limiting member 2 can be fastened to the inner wall of the waste container 6 with screws.

[0032] When this application is used as a household food waste disposer, the capacity of the waste container 6 can be set to 3.3L, and the diameter can be set to 80mm. Alternatively, the actual capacity of the waste container 6 can also be designed according to user needs. The waste container 6 can be made of Teflon material, and the stirring blade 1 and the limiting part 2 can also be made of Teflon material. This can prevent kitchen waste from sticking to the inside of the waste container 6 during the heating process of the drying mechanism 7, and the Teflon material is easy to clean.

[0033] A D-notch design can be used instead of a threaded design between the stirring blade 1 and the main shaft. Since the stirring motor 10 can rotate in both directions, it drives the stirring blade 1 to rotate in both directions inside the machine. A threaded design might cause the stirring blade 1 to loosen due to these rotations. The D-notch design refers to setting the end face of the main shaft in a D-shape, and correspondingly, the cross-section of the mounting hole on the stirring blade 1 for mounting the main shaft is also set in a D-shape. Compared to the cylindrical connection structure in the prior art, the D-notch design not only prevents dry rotation but also prevents misalignment and provides higher strength. Furthermore, the D-notch design makes it easier to disassemble, install, clean, and maintain the stirring blade 1.

[0034] The diameter of the main shaft can be designed to be 10mm or more to ensure its strength and prevent operational deviation. If the mixing blade 1 is designed as a three-piece blade, two of them can be positioned near the bottom of the waste container 6, and the remaining blade near the top of the main shaft. The limiting member 2 can extend between the upper and lower mixing blades 1. A 5mm gap can be reserved between the mixing blade 1 and the limiting member 2 to prevent large pieces of kitchen waste from pushing up the mixing blade 1 and causing interference between the mixing blade 1 and the limiting member 2.

[0035] The stirring motor 10 can be a small-sized, low-power DC geared motor. As an example, the torque should be at least 100 kgf to further prevent jamming during stirring.

[0036] The drying mechanism 7 should be directly opposite the opening of the waste container 6. (See also...) Figure 1 In this embodiment, a garbage disposal port is opened on the top of the garbage container 6. When the garbage container 6 is placed inside the shell 5, the drying mechanism 7 is located directly above the garbage container 6. The drying mechanism 7 and the stirring mechanism cooperate with each other and promote each other: the drying mechanism 7 can reduce the moisture content of the kitchen waste and prevent the kitchen waste from stratifying and clumping during the stirring process, so that the stirring mechanism can stir the kitchen waste more evenly; while the stirring mechanism stirring the kitchen waste is more conducive to the drying mechanism 7 heating and drying the kitchen waste.

[0037] In some embodiments, the drying mechanism 7 can employ a heating wire, with five heating temperature settings: 120℃, 140℃, 160℃, 180℃, and 200℃. These settings are applicable to five different waste types: 1. Fruits, vegetables, leaves, and paper towels (soft and easily decomposed); 2. Eggshells and vegetable roots (slightly harder); 3. Fish bones and chicken bones (hard); 4. Pork ribs and beef ribs (harder); 5. Large bones (very hard). Different temperatures are set for each mode. For the aforementioned 3.3L waste capacity, the heating wire diameter can be set to approximately 8mm to achieve rapid heating and heat concentration. In some embodiments, the heating wire can be designed in a circular, spiral shape with a center distance of 20mm. The distance between the heating wire and the upper inlet of the waste container 6 is set at least 50mm to prevent large pieces of waste from standing upright during stirring and touching the heating wire, which could produce a burnt smell. If necessary, a mesh-like insulating layer, such as iron mesh or perforated heat-resistant glass, can be added below the heating wire to protect it and prevent contact with the food waste.

[0038] To ensure the high-temperature airflow generated by the drying mechanism 7 is more focused on the food waste in the waste container 6, the food waste disposer provided in this application is also equipped with an air supply component 8. The air supply component 8 is located above the drying mechanism 7, blowing downwards, and is approximately 20mm away from the heating element. The air supply component 8 includes a fan motor and fan blades. The fan motor can be a 24V DC motor. DC motors are small in size and have low power consumption. The speed can be designed to operate in five different modes: 1000 rpm, 1200 rpm, 1500 rpm, 1800 rpm, and 2000 rpm. These modes are suitable for: 1. Fruits, vegetables, leaves, and paper towels (soft and easily decomposed); 2. Eggshells and vegetable roots (slightly harder); 3. Fish bones and chicken bones (hard); 4. Pork ribs and beef ribs (harder); 5. Large bones (very hard). A different speed is set for each mode. The fan blades should not be too large; they can be made of aluminum or other lightweight metals to prevent deformation due to heat from the drying mechanism 7. Make the fan blades as numerous as possible, such as nine or eleven blades, and design the blade height to be around 10mm.

[0039] Considering that food waste inevitably produces odors during processing, and to prevent odors from escaping and affecting the surrounding environment, the food waste disposer provided in this application is also equipped with an odor removal mechanism on the top of the casing 5. For example... Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the odor removal mechanism includes an exhaust fan (not shown) and an activated carbon box 11. Specifically, an exhaust pipe is designed inside the housing 5 for the exhaust fan, connecting the garbage container 6 and the outside of the housing 5. The activated carbon box 11 is positioned near the outlet of the exhaust pipe, allowing odors from the exhaust gas to be adsorbed by the activated carbon and discharged outside the housing 5, effectively maintaining the indoor environment. The odor removal ability of activated carbon is primarily determined by its physical properties, not its chemical properties. Activated carbon's ability to remove odors stems mainly from its unique microporous structure, which constitutes a very large specific surface area. Under certain temperature and pressure conditions, activated carbon adsorbs gases through its micropores, especially polar gases, thereby significantly reducing their concentration in the air. The activated carbon box 11 can be made detachable, allowing for replacement with a new activated carbon box 11 after the internal activated carbon loses its activity, thus more effectively removing odors.

[0040] Furthermore, to prevent odors from escaping through the assembly gap between the waste container 6 and the housing 5, in some embodiments, a sealing ring is provided at the opening of the waste container 6. When the waste container 6 is placed inside the housing 5, the sealing ring ensures a sealed connection between the waste container 6 and the housing 5. The sealing ring can be a silicone ring.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] The difference between the food waste disposer provided in this embodiment and that in Embodiment 1 is that the waste container 6 in this embodiment is configured to be pushed in and pulled out from the side of the housing 5. Therefore, the transmission assembly used to achieve the transmission connection between the main shaft and the stirring motor 10 should be designed as a detachable structure so that the stirring assembly and the stirring motor 10 can be separated when the waste container 6 is pulled out. As one embodiment of this application, the transmission assembly includes a first gear 4 that is drivenly connected to the main shaft and a second gear 3 that is drivenly connected to the output end of the stirring motor 10, wherein the first gear 4 and the second gear 3 mesh.

[0043] The housing 5 has a push-pull channel, and a handle (not shown in the figure) can be installed on the side of the garbage container 6. When the user disposes of garbage, the garbage container 6 can be pulled out from the side of the housing 5 along the push-pull channel. After the kitchen waste is disposed of, the garbage container 6 can be pushed back into the housing 5 along the push-pull channel. After the kitchen waste is processed, the garbage container 6 can also be pulled out for easy emptying of the processed kitchen waste and cleaning of the garbage container 6.

[0044] To further prevent jamming of the mixing mechanism, the food waste disposer provided in this embodiment is also equipped with a current sensor (not shown in the figure) to detect the operating current of the mixing motor 10. The controller can control the mixing motor 10 to rotate in both directions according to the operating current detected by the current sensor. For example, when the operating current exceeds the set protection current threshold and the duration exceeds 5 seconds, the mixing blade 1 can be controlled to enter a rotation mode opposite to the current direction, and so on in a cycle.

[0045] The inner cavity of the waste container 6 can be cylindrical. For large-diameter waste containers 6, the stirring blade 1 can be configured as a Z-shaped structure, which can achieve stirring and pulverizing of kitchen waste not only in the horizontal direction but also in the vertical direction. Correspondingly, in order to enable the limiting member 2 to function better, the shape of the limiting member 2 is also configured as a Z-shaped structure.

[0046] To ensure the stability of the food waste disposer during operation, the mixing motor 10 is supported within the housing 5 by a counterweight plate 9. In some embodiments, the counterweight plate 9 can be made of metal. During assembly, the mixing motor 10 is fixed to the metal plate, and the part of the metal plate in contact with the mixing motor 10 can be designed with plastic for shock absorption. The metal plate can be fixed to the bottom of the housing 5 through limiting holes and limiting members 2, and the housing 5 can be made of plastic. This design structure not only reduces the vibration of the entire machine but also prevents the housing 5 from deforming. Considering that the mixing motor 10 will generate heat during operation, the housing 5 can provide heat dissipation space around the mixing motor 10. If necessary, the mixing motor 10 can be covered with a motor cover to reduce the noise emitted by the mixing motor 10. The height of the spindle should be as low as possible while meeting the mixing and pulverizing requirements, so as to avoid losing the torque output of the mixing motor 10 and achieve the best design effect.

[0047] Counterweights can also be designed around the bottom of the shell 5 to prevent the machine body from shifting or tipping over due to the force of stirring. The counterweights can be made of cast iron and can be made into cuboids for easy molding.

[0048] The control method for the food waste disposer provided in this embodiment will be further explained below for different types of food waste:

[0049] When processing waste such as fruits, vegetables, leaves, and paper towels (which are relatively soft and easily decomposed), the overall baking and stirring time can be set to 2 hours. For the first hour, top heating is used, with the temperature set to 120°C. The stirring motor 10 and exhaust fan are turned on. While heating, the stirring blade 1 moves back and forth in both directions. The motor current is set to 1A. When the stirring motor 10 experiences 1A resistance for 3 seconds, the stirring blade 1 starts to reverse. This back and forth motion ensures that the food waste is heated evenly, reducing the moisture content of the food waste and decreasing the resistance of the stirring blade 1. After 1 hour, if the stirring current is less than 0.5A and the operation is constant, the drying mechanism 7 is turned off, the stirring mechanism is turned off, the exhaust fan is turned on, and stirring continues for another 1 hour before automatically shutting down.

[0050] When processing food waste such as eggshells and vegetable roots (slightly hard), the overall baking and stirring time can be set to 3 hours. For the first hour, top heating is used, with the temperature set to 140°C. The stirring motor 10 and exhaust fan are turned on. While heating, the stirring blade 1 moves back and forth in both directions. The current of the stirring motor 10 is set to 1.5A. When the stirring motor 10 encounters 1.5A resistance for 3 seconds, the stirring blade 1 starts to reverse. This back and forth motion ensures that the food waste is heated evenly and reduces the resistance of the stirring blade 1. After 2 hours, if the stirring current is less than 0.5A and the operation is constant, the drying mechanism 7 is turned off, the stirring motor 10 is turned off, the exhaust fan is turned on, and stirring continues for another 1 hour before automatically shutting down.

[0051] When processing hard waste such as fish bones and chicken bones, the overall baking and stirring time can be set to 4 hours. During the first hour, top heating is used, with the temperature set to 160°C. The stirring motor 10 and exhaust fan are turned on. While heating, the stirring blade 1 moves back and forth in both directions. The current of the stirring motor 10 is set to 2A. When the stirring motor 10 encounters 2A resistance for 3 seconds, the stirring blade 1 starts to reverse. This back and forth motion ensures that the waste inside is heated evenly, thereby reducing the resistance of the stirring blade 1. After 3 hours, if the stirring current is less than 0.5A and the operation is constant, the drying mechanism 7 is turned off, the stirring motor 10 is turned off, the exhaust fan is turned on, and stirring continues for another 1 hour before automatically shutting down.

[0052] When processing waste such as pork ribs and beef ribs (which are relatively hard), the overall baking and stirring time can be set to 5 hours. For the first hour, the upper heating is used, and the temperature is set to 180°. The stirring motor 10 is turned on, and the exhaust fan is turned on. While heating, the stirring blade 1 moves back and forth in both directions. The current of the stirring motor 10 is set to 3A. When the stirring motor 10 encounters 3A resistance for 3 seconds, the stirring blade 1 starts to reverse. This back and forth motion ensures that the kitchen waste is heated evenly and reduces the resistance of the stirring blade 1. After 4 hours, if the stirring current is less than 0.5A and the operation is constant, the drying mechanism 7 is turned off, the stirring motor 10 is turned off, the exhaust fan is turned on, and stirring continues for another 1 hour before automatically shutting down.

[0053] When processing large bone (very hard) waste, the overall baking and stirring time can be set to 8 hours. For the first hour, top heating is used, with the temperature set to 200°C. The stirring motor 10 and exhaust fan are turned on. While heating, the stirring blade 1 moves back and forth in both directions. The current of the stirring motor 10 is set to 6A. When the stirring motor 10 encounters 6A resistance for 3 seconds, the stirring blade 1 starts to reverse. This back and forth motion ensures that the kitchen waste is heated evenly and reduces the resistance of the stirring blade 1. After 7 hours, if the stirring current is less than 0.5A and the operation is constant, the drying mechanism 7 is turned off, the stirring motor 10 is turned off, the exhaust fan is turned on, and stirring continues for another 1 hour before automatically shutting down.
