Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste treatment, specifically a water inlet device for food waste disposers. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, in order to make it easier to deal with kitchen waste, the existing technology is to install a food waste disposer below the water outlet in the sink to process kitchen waste. Specifically, the food waste disposer crushes food residue into sufficiently small particles. Water from the faucet above the sink is used to form a Venturi effect in the food waste disposer, which draws air out of the high-pressure environment inside the grinding section of the food waste disposer and then discharges it.

[0003] Traditional food waste disposers are prone to splashing during operation, causing pulverized waste and water to splatter. Current technology uses a baffle to cover the opening or water outlet of the food waste disposer to prevent splashing. However, in actual use, food waste disposers also generate other problems, including noise. This noise is partly caused by the motor's operation and by food impacting the disposer body and grinding components. The baffle in the current technology does not effectively solve this problem; the noise from the food waste disposer is still easily audible to the user. Furthermore, when pulverizing food waste, food waste disposers need water to increase the dispersion of food scraps to prevent large pieces or excessively concentrated food scraps from jamming the pulverizing mechanism. However, in current technology, even with a splash guard, water cannot enter the food waste disposer effectively. This is because the food waste disposer needs continuous water supply during operation to ensure better flow of waste scraps and to provide lubrication for pulverization. Current technology cannot simultaneously achieve splash prevention and water intake. Therefore, it is essential to provide a water intake device for food waste disposers. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a water inlet device for a food waste disposer, which enables the disposer to separate the disposer space from the external space when disposing of food waste, prevents splashing and noise, and continuously adds water to the disposer space, thereby improving the efficiency of food waste disposer disposer and solving the existing technical defects and unmet technical requirements.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a water inlet device for a food waste disposer, comprising at least a first water inlet component, the first water inlet component being disposed on the cavity wall of the food waste disposer, the first water inlet component adding water to the interior of the waste disposer, and the water sprayed from the first water inlet component forming a water curtain above the pulverizing cavity used for pulverizing food waste in the food waste disposer, which covers the entire cross-section of the pulverizing cavity before entering the pulverizing cavity, thereby achieving spatial isolation and assisting the food waste disposer in pulverizing food waste.

[0006] Further explanation is needed in this application. The food waste disposer of this application includes: a main body, which includes: a feed inlet, a connecting cavity, a crushing cavity, and a discharge outlet. The feed inlet is located at the top of the main body. The connecting cavity and the crushing cavity are located below the feed inlet and inside the main body. The feed inlet and the crushing cavity are connected through the connecting cavity. The discharge outlet is connected to the crushing cavity. The first water inlet is disposed on the cavity wall of the connecting cavity or the crushing cavity.

[0007] Furthermore, regarding the above statement that the first water inlet is located on the cavity wall of the food waste disposer, it can be understood that as long as the first water inlet is located on the main body, the water curtain formed is located above the pulverizing cavity and covers the cross section of the pulverizing cavity, which is within the protection scope of this application.

[0008] Preferably, a groove is laterally formed on the end face of the first water inlet component located inside the food waste disposer, and a water flow channel is provided inside the first water inlet component. The water flow channel is connected to the groove, and the width of the bottom of the groove is smaller than the diameter of the cross-section of the water flow channel.

[0009] In this application, it should be further explained that the width mentioned above refers to the smaller portion of the object's size.

[0010] Preferably, the opening width of the groove on the end face of the first water inlet is greater than the width of the bottom of the groove.

[0011] In this application, it is necessary to further explain that the above content can be understood as at least one of the upper and lower sides of the groove being an inclined plane, with the inclination direction extending from the bottom of the groove away from the central axis of the first water inlet to the end face of the first water inlet.

[0012] Preferably, the lower sidewall of the groove is an inclined sidewall, and its upper sidewall is horizontal.

[0013] Preferably, the food waste disposer has connection holes on its cavity wall;

[0014] The first water inlet is provided with a water outlet and a connecting end, and a baffle is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the first water inlet. The water outlet and the connecting end are located on both sides of the baffle. The water outlet is located inside the food waste disposer. The connecting end extends from the connecting hole to the outside of the main body in a direction away from the inside of the food waste disposer. The baffle abuts against the inner wall of the food waste disposer, and the outer wall of the connecting end can abut against and connect with the inner wall of the connecting hole.

[0015] In this application, the above can be understood as the baffle being a ring-shaped sleeve outside the first water inlet, and the structure distributed sequentially from the inside to the outside of the main body on the outside of the first water inlet includes a water outlet, a baffle, and a connecting end. Part of the connecting end is sleeved in the connecting hole, and the other part of the connecting end extends out of the main body. The water flow channel covers all the components on the first water inlet in the length direction, that is, the blow-out end, the baffle, and the connecting end are all set outside the water flow channel.

[0016] Preferably, the water inlet device further includes a sealing ring and a retaining ring;

[0017] The outer wall of the connecting end is provided with a plurality of connecting grooves, the connecting grooves including at least a first snap-fit ​​groove and at least one mounting groove;

[0018] The sealing ring is fitted in the mounting groove and abuts against the inner wall of the connecting hole. The retaining ring is fitted in the first snap-fit ​​groove, and the side wall of the retaining ring abuts against both the side wall of the first snap-fit ​​groove and the outer wall of the food waste disposer cavity.

[0019] In this application, it is necessary to further explain that the inner ring wall of the sealing ring is in close contact with the bottom of the mounting groove, while the outer ring wall of the mounting groove is in close contact with the inner wall of the connecting hole. In addition, the two side walls of the sealing element are in close contact with the two side walls of the mounting groove. As for the snap ring, its inner ring wall is in contact with the bottom of the first snap groove, and its side wall is in contact with both the side wall of the first snap groove and the outer wall of the main body. That is, it can be understood that the outer wall of the main body and one side wall of the first snap groove are simultaneously in contact with the same side wall of the snap ring.

[0020] Preferably, the water inlet device further includes a water supply pipe and a second water inlet component. One end of the water supply pipe is sleeved on the first water inlet component, and the other end is sleeved on the second water inlet component. The second water inlet component is disposed on the main body and is connected to a solenoid valve for controlling the water inlet volume.

[0021] In this application, it is necessary to further explain that the main body is provided with a mounting base, and the mounting base is provided with a plurality of mounting holes. The mounting holes are circumferentially distributed on the mounting base, and the diameter of the mounting holes increases sequentially to accommodate the installation of second water inlet components of multiple sizes. The solenoid valve is prior art and is used to control the flow rate of water passing through the second mounting component.

[0022] Furthermore, the structure of the second water inlet is as follows: the second water inlet has the same auxiliary connector and second snap-fit ​​groove as the first water inlet. Similarly, the connection between the second water inlet and the water supply pipe also uses an elastic clamp, and a stop is also provided on the second water inlet. The stop abuts against the lower surface of the mounting base, and an external thread is provided between the stop and the second snap-fit ​​groove. The second water inlet is connected to a nut through the thread. The connection between the second water inlet and the mounting base can be understood as follows: one end of the second water inlet with the second snap-fit ​​groove passes through the mounting hole, so that the stop abuts against the lower surface of the base. The nut is then installed and connected to the external thread on the second water inlet, so that the mounting base is clamped between the nut and the stop, completing the connection between the second water inlet and the mounting base. A quick-connect connector is connected to the end of the second water inlet away from the second snap-fit ​​groove for quick connection with the water supply component, and this quick-connect connector is replaceable.

[0023] Preferably, the connecting groove further includes a second snap-fit ​​groove;

[0024] The water inlet device also includes an elastic clamp;

[0025] The water supply pipe is sleeved on the connecting end and held outside the water supply pipe by an elastic clamp, causing the water supply pipe to be recessed inward into the second locking groove.

[0026] In this application, it needs to be further explained that the second card slot mentioned above is located on the connecting end of the first water inlet component that extends out of the main body.

[0027] Preferably, the connecting end is further provided with an auxiliary connector, which is sleeved on the outside of the connecting end, and the diameter of the auxiliary connector gradually increases from the end of the connecting end away from the stop member in the direction of the center of the connecting end, and a second snap-fit ​​groove is formed between two adjacent auxiliary connectors.

[0028] The above text needs further explanation. The horizontal direction refers to the length direction of the first water inlet component. The outer radius of the auxiliary connecting component gradually increases from the outermost end of the first water inlet component towards the center of the first water inlet component.

[0029] In this application, the above content can be understood as follows: on the first water inlet component, the structure along the length from the inside of the main body to the outside of the main body is as follows: groove, baffle, several mounting grooves, first snap-fit ​​groove, auxiliary connector, second snap-fit ​​groove and auxiliary connector.

[0030] In addition, the auxiliary connector consists of at least two auxiliary connecting parts. The contour radius of the auxiliary connecting parts gradually increases from one end to the other. Multiple auxiliary connecting parts are connected end to end to form an auxiliary connector. The meaning of being connected end to end can be understood as the end face of the end with the smaller contour radius coincides with the end face of the end with the larger contour radius of another auxiliary connecting part. This connection creates a gap between two adjacent auxiliary connecting parts.

[0031] Preferably, in the length direction of the first water inlet, the distance from the bottom of the groove to the center of the first water inlet is less than the distance from the end of the water flow channel on the same side to the center of the first water inlet, and buffer portions extending toward the water flow channel are formed on the upper and lower sides of the groove.

[0032] Both sides of the groove are open.

[0033] In addition, this application also includes a positioning component, which includes at least a first positioning part and a second positioning part. The first positioning part is disposed on the stop, and the second positioning part is disposed on the inner wall of the food waste disposer. The first positioning part and the second positioning part are closely fitted together, and their outlines are adapted to each other. This is used to complete the positioning connection between the first water inlet and the connecting hole, so that the installation direction of the groove is correct, so as to ensure that the formed water curtain can better cover the grinding chamber.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0035] 1. By setting a first water outlet, this application can form a water curtain above the grinding chamber through the groove, covering the cross-section of the grinding chamber and isolating the space of the grinding chamber. This prevents food waste fragments from splashing when the food waste processor is grinding food waste, reduces the noise of the grinding device when grinding food waste, and allows water to be continuously added to the grinding chamber while the food waste grinding device is grinding food waste, so that the ground food waste in the grinding chamber can flow out of the grinding chamber more smoothly, and also avoids the accumulation of fragments during grinding that could cause the grinding device to jam. Furthermore, the water curtain is located above the grinding chamber, that is, the water flows down from above the food fragments, which further suppresses the splashing of food waste fragments.

[0036] 2. This application, by setting a groove and connecting it to the water flow channel, and by setting an inclined surface in the groove, can increase the thickness of the formed water curtain, enhance the isolation effect, reduce the pressure at the groove and the impact of the water curtain on the inner wall of the food waste disposer, extend the service life of the device, and, in conjunction with the structure with open sides, can achieve better water curtain coverage. In addition, the setting of the buffer part can improve the smoothness of water flowing from the water flow channel into the groove, reduce the operating pressure of the water pump and the impact of water on the groove, making the formed water curtain more stable.

[0037] 3. By setting up connecting devices such as stops, snap rings and seals, this application enables the first water inlet to achieve a more stable connection with the waste treatment device, while also facilitating disassembly and assembly, increasing the ease of operation during assembly and the stability of the device during use.

Detailed Implementation

[0045] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-6 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. 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.

[0046] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0047] Please see Figure 1-6 Embodiments of this utility model:

[0048] Example:

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown: A food waste disposer includes a main body 1, which includes an inlet 2, a connecting cavity 3, a grinding cavity 4, and an outlet 5. The inlet 2 is located at the top of the main body 1. The connecting cavity 3 and the grinding cavity 4 are located below the inlet 2 and inside the main body 1. The inlet 2 and the grinding cavity 4 are connected through the connecting cavity 3, and the outlet 5 is connected to the grinding cavity 4. The food waste disposer is equipped with a water inlet device, which includes at least a... A water inlet 6 is provided on the cavity wall of the connecting cavity 3. The water inlet 6 adds water to the interior of the main body 1. The water sprayed from the water inlet 6 can form a water curtain above the crushing cavity 4, which is used to cover the entire cross-section of the crushing cavity 4 before entering the crushing cavity 4, so as to achieve spatial isolation and assist in crushing food waste. Above the water curtain, a partition is also installed to cover the connecting cavity 3. Together with the water curtain formed by the water sprayed by the water inlet 6, it completes further isolation, splash prevention and noise reduction. The partition used in this application is the partition in the prior art.

[0050] In this embodiment, by setting the first water outlet, the water sprayed out through the groove 7 can form a water curtain above the grinding chamber 4 to cover the cross-section of the grinding chamber 4, isolate the space of the grinding chamber 4, prevent food waste fragments from splashing when the food waste processor is grinding food waste, reduce the noise of the grinding device when grinding food waste, and continuously add water to the grinding chamber 4 while the food waste grinding device is grinding food waste, so that the ground food waste in the grinding chamber 4 can flow out of the grinding chamber 4 more smoothly, and also prevent the accumulation of fragments during grinding, preventing the grinding device from jamming. Moreover, the water curtain is located above the grinding chamber 4, that is, the water flows down from above the food fragments, which further suppresses the splashing of food waste fragments.

[0051] like Figure 2 and 4As shown: A groove 7 is horizontally formed on the end face of the first water inlet 6 located in the connecting cavity 3. A water flow channel 8 is provided inside the first water inlet 6. The water flow channel 8 is connected to the groove 7. The width of the bottom of the groove 7 is smaller than the diameter of the cross-section of the water flow channel 8.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown: the opening width of the groove 7 on the end face of the first water inlet 6 is greater than the width of the bottom of the groove 7.

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown: the lower sidewall of the groove 7 is an inclined sidewall, and its upper sidewall is horizontal.

[0054] In this embodiment, by connecting the groove 7 with the water channel 8, and by setting the inclined surface in the groove 7, the thickness of the formed water curtain can be increased, enhancing the isolation effect. In addition, the downward inclination of the lower side wall can guide the tail end of the water curtain downward, reducing the pressure at the groove 7 and the direct impact of the water curtain on the inner wall of the food waste processor, extending the service life of the device, and better guiding water into the pulverizing chamber 4. Furthermore, the structure with open sides can achieve better water curtain coverage.

[0055] For ease of illustration in the drawings, the lower sidewall of the groove 7 is referred to as the first groove sidewall 21, and the upper sidewall of the groove 7 is referred to as the second groove sidewall 22.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown: A connection hole is provided on the cavity wall of the connecting cavity 3;

[0057] The first water inlet 6 is provided with a water outlet 9 and a connecting end 10, and a baffle 11 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the first water inlet 6. The water outlet 9 and the connecting end 10 are located on both sides of the baffle 11. The water outlet 9 is located inside the connecting cavity 3. The connecting end 10 extends from the connecting hole to the outside of the main body 1 in a direction away from the inside of the connecting cavity 3. The baffle 11 abuts against the inner wall of the connecting cavity 3. The outer wall of the connecting end 10 can abut against and connect with the inner wall of the connecting hole. The baffle 11 is annular.

[0058] like Figure 4 and 6 As shown: the water inlet device also includes a sealing ring 12 and a retaining ring 13;

[0059] In this embodiment, by setting up connecting devices such as the stop 11, the snap ring 13 and the seal, the first water inlet 6 can be better connected to the waste treatment device, and it is also easy to disassemble and assemble, increasing the ease of operation during assembly and the stability of the device during use.

[0060] The outer wall of the connecting end 10 is provided with a plurality of connecting grooves, the connecting grooves including a first snap-fit ​​groove 14 and two mounting grooves 15;

[0061] The sealing ring 12 is fitted into the mounting groove 15 and abuts against the inner wall of the connecting hole. The retaining ring 13 is fitted into the first engaging groove 14, and the side wall of the retaining ring 13 abuts against both the side wall of the first engaging groove 14 and the outer wall of the connecting cavity 3. This can be understood as the two mounting grooves 15 being located between the stop 11 and the first engaging groove 14.

[0062] In this embodiment, the sealing ring 12 is set as a rubber sealing ring 12. This application uses the rubber sealing ring 12 to seal and complete the vertical positioning connection between the first water inlet 6 and the main body 1. Through the cooperation of the retaining spring 13 and the stop 11, the cavity wall of the main body 1 is clamped between the stop 11 and the retaining spring 13, and the horizontal positioning connection between the first water inlet 6 and the main body 1 is completed, making the overall structure more stable and easier to disassemble and install.

[0063] like Figure 1-2 As shown: The water inlet device also includes a water supply pipe and a second water inlet component 16. One end of the water supply pipe is sleeved on the first water inlet component 6, and the other end is sleeved on the second water inlet component 16. The second water inlet component 16 is disposed on the main body 1 and is connected to a solenoid valve for controlling the water inlet volume.

[0064] As shown in the figure: the connecting groove also includes a second snap-fit ​​groove 21;

[0065] The water inlet device also includes an elastic clip 17;

[0066] The water supply pipe is sleeved on the connecting end 10 and held outside the water supply pipe by the elastic clip 17, so that the water supply pipe is recessed inward into the second snap-fit ​​groove 21.

[0067] like Figure 4-6 As shown: The connecting end 10 is also provided with an auxiliary connector 18. The auxiliary connector 18 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting end 10, and the diameter of the outline of the auxiliary connector 18 gradually increases from the end of the connecting end 10 away from the stop member in the direction of the horizontal direction towards the center of the connecting end 10. A second snap-fit ​​groove 21 is formed between two adjacent auxiliary connectors 18.

[0068] In addition, the auxiliary connector 18 is composed of two auxiliary connectors 23. The contour radius of the auxiliary connector 23 gradually increases from one end to the other end. The two auxiliary connectors 23 are connected end to end to form the auxiliary connector 18. The connection end to end can be understood as the end face of the end with the smaller contour radius coincides with the end face of the end with the larger contour radius on the other auxiliary connector 23. This connection makes a gap space 24 formed between the two adjacent auxiliary connectors 23.

[0069] In this embodiment, the auxiliary connector 18 allows the water pipe to be easily fitted over the first water inlet 6. The space 24 formed between each auxiliary connector 23 also provides a transition for the water pipe during installation when it is fitted onto the first water inlet 6, further improving the ease of installation. In addition, the space 24 can also balance the pressure of the water pipe. If leakage occurs at the interface, the space 24 will also provide a temporary storage space for the water, preventing the water pipe interface from being disconnected instantly, and making it easier to detect water pipe leakage.

[0070] like Figure 5-6 As shown: In the length direction of the first water inlet 6, the distance from the bottom of the groove 7 to the center of the first water inlet 6 is less than the distance from the end of the water flow channel 8 located on the same side to the center of the first water inlet 6. Buffer portions 19 extending toward the water flow channel 8 are formed on the upper and lower sides of the groove 7.

[0071] Both sides of the groove 7 are open.

[0072] In this embodiment, the buffer section 19 improves the smoothness of water flowing from the water channel 8 into the groove 7, reduces the operating pressure of the water pump and the impact force of the water on the groove 7, and makes the formed water curtain more stable.

[0073] The two sides of the groove 7 are open, which can better achieve full coverage of the pulverizing chamber 4 by the water curtain.

[0074] like Figure 3-4 As shown: A positioning component is provided, which includes at least a first positioning part 25 and a second positioning part 26. The first positioning part 25 is disposed on the stop 11, and the second positioning part 26 is disposed on the inner wall of the food waste disposer. The first positioning part 25 and the second positioning part 26 are closely fitted and their outlines are adapted to each other. This is used to complete the positioning connection between the first water inlet 6 and the connecting hole, so that the installation direction of the groove 7 is correct, so as to ensure that the formed water curtain can better cover the grinding chamber.

[0075] In this embodiment, specifically, the first positioning part 25 is disposed on the outer contour of the baffle, the baffle 11 is configured as an annular shape, and the first positioning part 25 is specifically configured as a plane on the contour of the baffle. It can be understood that a plane is disposed on the circular contour of the baffle 11 as the first positioning part 25. The first positioning part 25 is located above the groove 7 in the vertical direction and is flush with the outer contour of the water outlet in the horizontal direction. The second positioning part 26 is disposed on the inner side wall of the connecting cavity. Specifically, one end of the second positioning part 26 is disposed inside the connecting cavity, and the other end extends into the connecting cavity. The lower surface of the second positioning part 26 is a plane that can be adapted to the first positioning part 25. During installation, since all other positions on the baffle except the first positioning part 25 are circular and cannot be adapted to the second positioning part 26, the tight fit of the first positioning part 25 and the second positioning part 26 can complete the positioning and installation of the first water inlet 6.

[0076] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model.
