[0007] To prevent water leakage, a sealing ring is sandwiched between the top surface of the second flange and the bottom surface of the first flange.

[0008] To connect the second flange and the first flange, the first flange has at least two first mounting holes arranged circumferentially, and the second flange has at least two second mounting holes corresponding to the first mounting holes. The second flange and the first flange are connected to each other through the second mounting holes and the first mounting holes and are fixed by fasteners.

[0009] To prevent garbage from splashing out of the drain when the garbage disposal is working, a splash guard that can be detachably installed over the drain is also included.

[0010] To facilitate the entry of kitchen waste into the waste disposal unit via the drain pipe when the splash guard is on, the bottom wall of the tank located behind the drain outlet has at least a partial downward recess forming a groove. When the splash guard is on the drain outlet, the inner cavity of the tank is connected to the drain pipe through the groove.

[0011] To facilitate drainage for users and ensure that the drained water is discharged promptly, a drain basket is suspended at the rear of the inner cavity of the tank, and the drain basket is located directly above the groove.

[0012] In order to rationally divide the internal space of the water tank and improve its efficiency, the inner cavity of the tank includes a deep tank area and a shallow tank area arranged sequentially in the left-right direction. The bottom surface of the deep tank area is lower than the bottom surface of the shallow tank area, and the drain outlet is located on the bottom wall of the deep tank area.

[0013] To facilitate the rinsing of garbage and to clean the bottom of the deep tank area, multiple water inlets are provided on the side wall of the deep tank area at intervals along the horizontal direction, and a water supply device is provided on the outside of the tank to supply cleaning water to the water inlets.

[0014] To achieve automatic supply of cleaning water, the water supply device includes:

[0015] A water tank, connected to a water inlet pipe and multiple nozzles corresponding to the water inlet holes, each nozzle being inserted into its corresponding water inlet hole; and

[0016] A water pump is installed at the water inlet pipe to transport the cleaning water in the water inlet pipe to the water tank.

[0017] In order to effectively utilize the extra space below the shallow trough area, the water tank is located directly below the shallow trough area and above the bottom surface of the deep trough area.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: by setting a first flange extending outward at the bottom edge of the drain pipe, setting a second flange extending outward at the top edge of the grinding cover, and connecting the second flange to the bottom of the first flange, the garbage disposer can be installed simply and quickly without complicated installation components.
