Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of waste treatment technology, specifically relating to a kitchen waste treatment system. Background Technology

[0002] Existing food waste disposers generally include a housing with an inlet and an outlet, a shredder inside the housing, and a drive mechanism for driving the shredder. The shredder, driven by the drive mechanism, can shred the food waste that enters from the inlet.

[0003] Specifically, the Chinese utility model patent "A Kitchen Waste Processor" with patent number 202221965311.8 and authorization announcement number CN218292145U includes a housing and a grinding hood. A grinding disc is installed inside the grinding hood. The grinding hood includes an upper grinding hood and a lower grinding hood. A feeding port is opened at the top of the upper grinding hood, and a discharge port is opened on the lower grinding hood. An annular wall is installed on the inner peripheral wall of the lower side of the upper grinding hood. The annular wall is located above the grinding disc, and an annular cavity is formed between the annular wall and the upper grinding hood. A water inlet connected to the annular cavity is opened on the outer peripheral wall of the upper grinding hood. A water outlet is opened on the inner wall of the annular cavity. An annular cutter that can rotate under water pressure is installed in the annular cavity.

[0004] For example, the Chinese utility model patent "A Kitchen Waste Treatment System" with patent number 202321652436.X and authorization announcement number CN220538788U includes a sink and a garbage disposal unit located below the sink. The garbage disposal unit includes a grinding chamber and a grinding disc located inside the grinding chamber. The grinding chamber has a discharge port located below the grinding disc. The bottom of the sink has a stepped structure, and the top of the stepped structure has a main feeding port with a feeding cover installed on it. The top of the grinding chamber is installed on the main feeding port.

[0005] In existing food waste disposers, the drive mechanism, shredder, and feed inlet are arranged vertically. This means that operating noise can easily be transmitted directly to the user from the feed inlet, resulting in a poor user experience. Furthermore, during the shredding process, some food waste splashes upwards through the feed inlet.

[0006] Meanwhile, existing food waste disposers are generally installed under the kitchen sink. They work by drawing water in through the sink faucet, which, in conjunction with the grinding mechanism, processes the waste and then flushes it out. Some food waste disposers use solenoid valves or other valves to automatically fill the chamber with water. This method is more convenient, requiring no manual operation, and automatically shuts off the water after use, saving time and effort. However, regardless of the water inlet method, the problem of sink cleaning cannot be solved, often requiring users to manually clean the sink. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a kitchen waste treatment system that reduces noise during operation, in light of the current state of the technology.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a kitchen waste treatment system, comprising:

[0009] The water tank has a stepped bottom and an upper stepped surface, a lower stepped surface, and a middle vertical surface connecting the upper and lower stepped surfaces;

[0010] A garbage disposal unit has a pulverizing chamber with an inlet and an outlet, and a pulverizing element disposed in the pulverizing chamber, the pulverizing element being driven by a drive mechanism to pulverize kitchen waste entering from the inlet;

[0011] Its features are:

[0012] The top of the pulverizing chamber is closed and located below the upper stepped surface of the water tank;

[0013] The feed inlet is located on the side wall of the crushing chamber and is connected to the discharge outlet on the middle vertical surface.

[0014] In this invention, the top of the pulverizing chamber is a closed structure, and the upper step surface of the water tank further obstructs the upward transmission of noise during machine operation, thus reducing noise. Furthermore, because the top of the pulverizing chamber is closed, and the feed inlet is located on the side wall of the pulverizing chamber, it prevents food waste from splashing upwards during pulverization. Since the feed inlet is located on the side wall of the pulverizing chamber and connects to the discharge port on the central vertical surface, water from the water tank can carry the food waste into the pulverizing chamber through the discharge port and feed inlet. This integrates the automatic water intake and water tank cleaning functions of the garbage disposal unit, improving the automatic cleaning effect of the water tank and saving water and electricity.

[0015] Preferably, the upper and lower step surfaces are arranged to the left and right, respectively, with the lower step surface sloping downwards from right to left. This allows the food waste on the lower step surface to flow into the food waste processor's inlet under its own weight and the scouring effect of the water flow.

[0016] Furthermore, the side wall of the water tank is provided with spray holes for water flow, and the spray holes are located above the lower stepped surface. The water sprayed through the spray holes flows over the lower stepped surface of the water tank and then into the feed inlet of the food waste disposer. This process cleans the lower stepped surface of the water tank.

[0017] To further improve the spraying effect, the spray holes are located on the rear side of the lower step surface and are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction.

[0018] In the above scheme, preferably, the top periphery of the crushing chamber extends upward to form a side wall, the upper opening of the side wall is closed by a top plate, and the top plate is attached to the lower part of the step surface above the water tank.

[0019] Preferably, a portion of the side wall is in contact with the middle vertical surface of the step portion.

[0020] In the above embodiments, preferably, the lower edge of the discharge port is located on the lower step surface of the stepped portion. This facilitates the flow of kitchen waste and water from the lower step surface into the kitchen waste processor through the discharge port.

[0021] Furthermore, the lower edge of the feed inlet is supported below the lower step surface of the stepped portion and outside the lower edge of the discharge outlet. This facilitates the entry of kitchen waste and water from the lower step surface into the feed inlet and prevents leakage at the junction of the feed inlet and discharge outlet. Moreover, this invention does not have strict requirements on the size of the feed inlet, making it easy to connect with the discharge outlet.

[0022] In the above embodiments, preferably, the feed inlet is located above the crushing component, and the discharge outlet is located below the crushing component.

[0023] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: The top of the grinding chamber is a closed structure, and the upper step of the water tank further obstructs the upward transmission of noise during machine operation, thus reducing noise. Furthermore, because the top of the grinding chamber is closed, and the feed inlet is located on the side wall of the grinding chamber, it prevents food waste from splashing upwards during grinding. Since the feed inlet is located on the side wall of the grinding chamber and connects to the discharge port on the central vertical surface, the water in the water tank can carry the food waste into the grinding chamber through the discharge port and feed inlet, thereby integrating the automatic water intake and water tank cleaning functions of the garbage disposal unit, improving the automatic cleaning effect of the water tank and saving water and electricity.

[0027] Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the present utility model (the cross-section is a vertical plane extending from front to back). Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this is a preferred embodiment of a kitchen waste treatment system of the present invention, which includes an integrated sink 4 and a waste processor 1.

[0030] The bottom of the water tank 4 is a stepped section, and it has an upper stepped surface 41, a lower stepped surface 42, and a middle vertical surface 43 connecting the upper and lower stepped surfaces. In this embodiment, as shown... Figure 2 As shown, the upper step surface 41 and the lower step surface 42 are arranged on the left and right respectively, with the lower step surface 42 sloping downwards from right to left. Furthermore, the rear wall of the water tank 4 is provided with multiple spray holes 44 for water flow, each spray hole 44 being located above the lower step surface 42 and spaced apart along the left-right direction.

[0031] The aforementioned garbage disposal unit 1 is located below the upper stepped surface 41 of the water tank 4. The garbage disposal unit 1 has a pulverizing chamber 10 inside, the top of which is closed. The periphery of the top wall of the pulverizing chamber 10 extends upward to form a side wall 11. The upper opening of the side wall 11 is closed by a top plate 12, which is attached to the lower part of the upper stepped surface 41 of the water tank 4. A portion of the side wall 11 is in contact with the middle vertical surface 43 of the stepped portion.

[0032] In this embodiment, the top plate, the top wall of the pulverizing chamber 10, and the side peripheral wall 11 together define a cavity. This cavity can be used to prevent the noise generated by the garbage disposal unit from propagating upwards. In addition, this cavity can also be used as a water storage cavity. In this case, a water inlet can be opened on the side peripheral wall 11 forming the space to allow external water to enter, and a water outlet is opened on the top wall of the pulverizing chamber 10. The water outlet connects the cavity and the pulverizing chamber 10, so that water in the cavity can enter the pulverizing chamber 10 through the water outlet. The water flow entering the pulverizing chamber 10 can prevent food waste from splashing upwards and can rinse the pulverizing chamber 10.

[0033] Meanwhile, the upper side wall of the grinding chamber 10 is provided with a feed inlet 10a, which is connected to the discharge outlet 430 on the middle vertical surface 43. Specifically, the lower edge of the discharge outlet 430 is located on the lower step surface 42 of the stepped section, and the lower edge of the feed inlet 10a is supported below the lower step surface 42 of the stepped section and outside the lower edge of the discharge outlet 430. This allows water from the sink and kitchen waste to enter the grinding chamber 10 through the discharge outlet 430 and the feed inlet 10a. The lower side wall of the grinding chamber 10 is provided with a discharge outlet 10b, which is connected to the drain pipe through the discharge pipe 5.

[0034] Furthermore, a pulverizing element 2 is provided inside the pulverizing chamber 10. This pulverizing element 2 is located below the feed inlet 10a and above the discharge outlet 10b. Driven by the driving mechanism 3, the pulverizing element 2 pulverizes the kitchen waste entering through the feed inlet 10a. In this embodiment, the pulverizing element 2 is a conventional grinding disc structure. The driving mechanism 3 is a conventional motor, located below the pulverizing chamber 10. The motor shaft extends upwards and into the pulverizing chamber 10, connecting to the center of the pulverizing element 2. This motor drives the pulverizing element 2 to rotate circumferentially and grind the kitchen waste entering through the feed inlet 10a.

[0035] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the upper side wall of the water tank 4 is provided with an overflow port 45, which is connected to the discharge pipe 5 through an overflow pipe.

[0036] In the specification and claims of this utility model, terms indicating direction, such as "front," "rear," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "side," "top," and "bottom," are used to describe various exemplary structural parts and elements of this utility model. However, the use of these terms is merely for the purpose of explanation and is based on the exemplary orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed in this utility model can be arranged in different orientations, these terms indicating direction are for illustrative purposes only and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.

[0037] The term "vertical" is also used in the specification and claims of this utility model, meaning basically along the up and down direction, and is not limited to just the vertical direction, but can also be slightly deviated from the vertical direction.
