TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to garbage disposal technical field, concretely relates to a kitchen garbage disposal and sink with the kitchen garbage disposal. BACKGROUND

[0002] The existing kitchen garbage disposal generally includes a casing with a feed inlet and a discharge outlet, a crushing element arranged in the casing, and a driving mechanism for driving the crushing element to work. The crushing element can crush the kitchen garbage entering from the feed inlet under the driving of the driving mechanism.

[0003] Specifically, the Chinese utility model patent "Kitchen garbage disposal" with the patent number 202221965311.8 and the authorization announcement number CN218292145U includes a casing and a grinding cover. A grinding disc is installed inside the grinding cover. The grinding cover includes an upper grinding cover and a lower grinding cover. The upper grinding cover has a feeding port at the top. The lower grinding cover has a discharge port. An annular wall is installed on the inner circumferential wall of the lower side of the upper grinding cover. The annular wall is above the grinding disc. An annular cavity is formed between the annular wall and the upper grinding cover. A water inlet is opened on the outer circumferential wall of the upper grinding cover and is connected to the annular cavity. Water outlets are opened on the inner wall of the annular cavity. An annular cutter that can rotate under the action of water pressure is installed in the annular cavity.

[0004] For example, the Chinese utility model patent "Kitchen garbage disposal system" with the patent number 202321652436.X and the authorization announcement number CN220538788U includes a sink and a garbage disposal arranged below the sink. The garbage disposal includes a grinding cavity and a grinding disc arranged in the grinding cavity. The grinding cavity has a discharge port below the grinding disc. The bottom of the sink forms a step structure. The top of the step structure has a main feeding port. A feeding cover is installed on the main feeding port. The top of the grinding cavity is installed on the main feeding port.

[0005] The existing kitchen garbage disposal generally uses the method of opening the water faucet of the sink to supply water, which is combined with the crushing and grinding of the crushing element to achieve the effect of disposing and discharging the garbage. Some kitchen garbage disposals use a valve body such as a solenoid valve to automatically supply water in the cavity. This water supply method is more convenient and does not require manual operation. After the work is completed, the water is automatically turned off, which saves time and effort.

[0006] After the kitchen garbage disposal disposes the kitchen garbage, some kitchen garbage residues will adhere to the inner wall of the grinding cavity. Over time, they will mold and smell. The existing kitchen garbage disposal cannot effectively clean the wall of the cavity. SUMMARY

[0007] The first technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a kitchen waste processor capable of cleaning the cavity wall.

[0008] The second technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a sink with the kitchen waste processor.

[0009] The technical scheme adopted by the utility model to solve the first technical problem is as follows: a kitchen waste processor comprising:

[0010] A shell has a crushing cavity inside, the upper part of the crushing cavity has a feeding port, and the lower part of the crushing cavity has a discharging port;

[0011] A crushing part is arranged in the crushing cavity and can work under the driving of a driving mechanism to crush the kitchen waste entering from the feeding port;

[0012] The kitchen waste processor is characterized by further comprising:

[0013] A cleaning spray head is arranged inside the crushing cavity above the crushing part, the water inlet of the cleaning spray head is used for connecting an external water source, the water spray holes of the cleaning spray head face the side wall of the crushing cavity, and the cleaning spray head can be separated from the crushing cavity through the feeding port under the action of an external force.

[0014] Therefore, when cleaning is needed, the cleaning spray head is placed inside the crushing cavity above the crushing part, and the water flow sprayed from the water spray holes of the cleaning spray head can directly flush the side wall of the crushing cavity at a short distance to clean the side wall of the crushing cavity.

[0015] To improve the cleaning effect, preferably, the cleaning spray head is located at the central part inside the crushing cavity, the water spray holes of the cleaning spray head are at least two, and are arranged in a circumferential interval along the side wall of the crushing cavity.

[0016] Preferably, the cleaning spray head comprises:

[0017] A spray head seat is hollow inside and has the water inlet and at least two water outlets, and the water outlets are arranged in a circumferential interval along the side wall of the crushing cavity;

[0018] At least two spray heads are arranged at the respective water outlets, and each spray head is provided with the water spray holes.

[0019] The spray holes on a single spray head can be only one or multiple and are arranged in an interval.

[0020] Preferably, the water inlet of the cleaning nozzle faces upward and is connected to the lower end of the water inlet pipe, while the upper end of the water inlet pipe extends out of the crushing chamber through the feed inlet for connecting to an external water source.

[0021] To further improve the cleaning effect, preferably, the water inlet of the cleaning nozzle is located at the lower end of the water inlet pipe in a manner that allows it to rotate around its own vertically extending axis, and each of the spray heads is arranged around the axis. In this way, when water enters, the cleaning nozzle can rotate circumferentially under the action of the water flow to achieve all-round cleaning.

[0022] To secure the cleaning nozzle and facilitate its removal, the feed inlet faces upwards, and the outer wall of the water inlet pipe has a circumferentially extending flange. This flange supports the feed inlet and blocks it, and can move upwards to detach from the feed inlet. The engagement of the flange and the feed inlet secures the cleaning nozzle within the grinding chamber while simultaneously closing the feed inlet to prevent water from splashing out during cleaning. Furthermore, the cleaning nozzle can be easily removed by moving the water inlet pipe upwards, simplifying operation.

[0023] Furthermore, it also includes a sealing ring, which is circumferentially fitted around the outer periphery of the flange, with the inner periphery of the sealing ring contacting the side of the flange and the outer periphery of the sealing ring contacting the edge of the feed inlet.

[0024] Preferably, at least one spray nozzle on the spray head is tilted upwards or downwards. This increases the cleaning range.

[0025] Preferably, the spray head is a hemisphere with its spherical surface facing the sidewall of the crushing chamber, and a single spray head has multiple water spray holes, which are distributed at intervals in the upper, lower and / or middle parts of the hemisphere.

[0026] When there are four spray heads, the spray holes on the first spray head can be spaced out on the upper part of the hemispherical surface, the spray holes on the second spray head can be spaced out on the lower part of the hemispherical surface, the spray holes on the third spray head can be spaced out on the middle part of the hemispherical surface, and the spray holes on the fourth spray head can be spaced out on the upper, lower and middle parts of the hemispherical surface.

[0027] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the second technical problem mentioned above is: a sink with a kitchen waste disposer as described above, characterized in that it further includes:

[0028] The water tank body has an upward-facing cleaning chamber inside, and a discharge port at the bottom of the cleaning chamber;

[0029] The faucet is located on the main body of the sink.

[0030] The housing is located below the water tank body, and the feed inlet is connected to the discharge outlet, while the water inlet of the cleaning nozzle is connected to the liquid outlet of the faucet.

[0031] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: When cleaning is required, the cleaning nozzle is placed inside the grinding chamber and above the grinding components. The water jet from the nozzle's spray holes can directly clean the side walls of the grinding chamber over a short distance. After cleaning, the cleaning nozzle can be removed, and the user can then feed kitchen waste into the grinding chamber through the inlet for grinding, thus not affecting the normal operation of the kitchen waste disposer.

[0040] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0041] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this is a preferred embodiment of a food waste disposer of the present invention and a sink having the food waste disposer. The food waste disposer includes a shell 1, a crushing component 2, a driving mechanism 3, and a cleaning component.

[0042] The housing 1 has a crushing chamber 10 inside, the top of the crushing chamber 10 has an upward-facing feed inlet 10a, and the lower side wall of the crushing chamber 10 has a discharge outlet 10b.

[0043] The crushing component 2 is disposed inside the crushing chamber 10 and can work under the drive of the drive mechanism 3 to crush the kitchen waste entering from the feed inlet 10a. In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 3 is a motor, and the crushing component 2 is an existing grinding disc. The grinding disc rotates around its own vertically extending axis under the drive of the motor output shaft to crush the kitchen waste entering from the feed inlet 10a.

[0044] The cleaning assembly includes a cleaning nozzle 4, a water inlet pipe 43, and a sealing ring 44. The lower end of the water inlet pipe 43 extends into the grinding chamber 10, and the upper end of the water inlet pipe 43 extends out of the grinding chamber 10 through the feed inlet 10a for connecting to an external water source. A circumferentially extending flange 431 is provided on the outer wall of the water inlet pipe 43. The flange 431 supports the feed inlet 10a and blocks the feed inlet 10a, and the flange 431 can move upwards and disengage from the feed inlet 10a. Thus, the water inlet pipe 43 can disengage from the grinding chamber 10 through the feed inlet 10a under external force.

[0045] The sealing ring 44 is circumferentially fitted around the outer periphery of the flange 431, and the inner periphery of the sealing ring 44 contacts the side of the flange 431, while the outer periphery of the sealing ring 44 contacts the edge of the feed inlet 10a.

[0046] The cleaning nozzle 4 is located in the center of the grinding chamber 10, above the grinding element 2, and includes a nozzle base 41 and four spray nozzles 42. The nozzle base 41 is hollow and has an upward-facing water inlet 4a. The water inlet 4a is located at the lower end of the water inlet pipe 43 and is connected to it, so that the cleaning nozzle 4 can leave the grinding chamber 10 along with the water inlet pipe 43 through the feed inlet 10a. At the same time, the nozzle base 41 has four water outlets 4c, which are equally spaced around the above-mentioned axis and face the side wall of the grinding chamber 10. The four spray nozzles 42 are respectively located at their corresponding water outlets 4c, and each spray nozzle 42 has a spray hole 4b facing the side wall of the grinding chamber 10. In this embodiment, the spray head 42 is a hemispherical shape with its spherical surface facing the sidewall of the crushing chamber 10. Each spray head 42 has multiple spray holes 4b, which are spaced apart on the upper, lower, and / or middle parts of the hemispherical surface. Specifically, the four spray heads 42 arranged circumferentially are designated as the first spray head, the second spray head, the third spray head, and the fourth spray head. The spray holes on the first spray head are spaced apart on the upper part of the hemispherical surface; the spray holes on the second spray head are spaced apart on the upper, lower, and middle parts of the hemispherical surface; the spray holes on the third spray head are spaced apart on the lower part of the hemispherical surface; and the spray holes on the fourth spray head are spaced apart on the middle part of the hemispherical surface. For details, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 4-8 .

[0047] Thus, when water enters the upper end of the water inlet pipe 43, the water source can sequentially enter each spray head 42 through the water inlet pipe 43 and the nozzle seat 41, and spray out from the spray hole 4b of each spray head 42. During this process, under the action of the water flow, the cleaning nozzle 4 can rotate circumferentially relative to the lower end of the water inlet pipe 43, thereby rotating and spraying water to flush the side wall of the pulverizing chamber.

[0048] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the sink in this embodiment includes a sink body 5, a faucet 6, and the aforementioned food waste disposer. The sink body 5 has an upward-facing cleaning chamber with a discharge port 51 at the bottom. The faucet 6 is mounted on the sink body 5. The housing 1 is located below the sink body 5, with the inlet 10a connected to the discharge port 51. The inlet 4a of the cleaning nozzle 4 is connected to the outlet of the faucet 6. When self-cleaning of the food waste disposer is required, connect the upper end of the inlet pipe to the outlet of the faucet 6, insert the cleaning nozzle into the grinding chamber, and then turn on the faucet. After cleaning, remove the cleaning nozzle and disconnect the upper end of the inlet pipe from the outlet of the faucet 6 without affecting other uses of the faucet.
