Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen waste recycling technology, and in particular to a kitchen waste shredder device. Background Technology

[0002] The structure of small-scale food waste recycling equipment, such as the previous patents M531461, M530810 and M353189 from Taiwan, involves a processing tank pivotally mounted inside a machine body. Food waste is put into the processing tank for mixing, heating, adding fermentation materials, etc. After processing, the processing tank is tilted around the pivot point as the axis to facilitate the emptying of the food waste into a separate container.

[0003] The structural design revealed in the previous case has several shortcomings, such as:

[0004] 1. The waste disposal tank is extremely heavy, requiring operators with strong physical strength.

[0005] 2. The flipping process may lead to accidents and other safety issues due to the excessive weight of the processing tank and insufficient strength of the operator.

[0006] 3. The overturning of the processing tank causes the center of gravity of the equipment to shift, and the strength and rigidity of the machine must be strengthened, which leads to an increase in manufacturing costs.

[0007] 4. The processing tank is a flip-over type, and a flip-over gap space needs to be reserved, which may cause problems such as insufficient support of the processing tank and wear of machine parts.

[0008] Therefore, there is a real need to improve the existing food waste recycling equipment to overcome issues such as operator limitations, high manufacturing costs, and operational safety.

[0009] In addition, small-scale food waste recycling equipment must chop the food waste to make the particles smaller in order to accelerate the food waste processing efficiency.

[0010] For example, in the waste crushing and processing device of Taiwan Utility Model Patent No. 303732, when waste is placed from the top of the guide groove (10), the inclined plate (101) can guide the waste to the drum (20), and the drum (20) rotates to move the waste to the junction of the drum (20) and the blade (40): at this time, the cutting edge (301) at the tip of the blade (30) protrudes from the outer edge of the drum (20) and intersects with the serrated cutting edge (401) of the blade (40) to cut the waste.

[0011] In the previous design, the blade was a single piece, which was expensive to manufacture. It needed to be locked inside the roller (20) and interact with the blade (30) to achieve the cutting purpose.

[0012] Therefore, there is a real need to improve the current food waste recycling equipment to address issues such as the ease of blade replacement and maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0134] The aforementioned shaft hole 821 is formed through the middle section of the lever arm 82, providing a through-hole for the shaft rod 81 to be connected.

[0135] The aforementioned recessed grooves 822 are recessed at both ends of the lever arm 82 in the extension direction, providing for the extension of each blade 70.

[0136] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, describing the components and assembly method of the kitchen waste shredder device. The operational features of the embodiment of the present invention will be further described below.

[0137] To open the side opening 22 of the mixing tank 20, first remove the push mechanism 60 from each fixing bracket 30. The twist switch wrench 50 is no longer stacked on the base plate 42, so that the stacked sealing plate 41, base plate 42, and each support plate 44 can pivot around the pivot 45, no longer sealing the side opening 22 of the mixing tank 20, allowing the kitchen waste in the mixing tank 20 to be discharged from the side opening 22.

[0138] When it is time to close the side opening 22 of the mixing tank 20, the sealing plate 41, the bottom plate 42, and the various support plates 44, which are stacked as a whole, are pivoted around the pivot 45 to close the side opening 22 of the mixing tank 20. The torsion switch wrench 50 is stacked on the bottom plate 42. Then, the horizontal bar 61 of the pushing mechanism 60 is inserted across the unloading mechanism 40 and into the rod slots 33 of each fixed frame 30 at both ends. By adjusting the position of the screw 63, the bottom plate 42 is pushed to form a preload.

[0139] By having the blades 70 independently and individually set in each positioning hole 241, not only is assembly easier, but the accuracy of the blade position is also ensured, avoiding obstruction with the stirring device 80.

[0140] Furthermore, when any blade 70 is damaged, it can be repaired by replacement, reducing the maintenance cost and difficulty of replacement of the blade 70.

[0141] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is intended to clarify the features of the present utility model. It is not intended to limit the scope of the embodiments of the present utility model. Equivalent changes made by those skilled in the art based on the present utility model, as well as changes known to those skilled in the art, should still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
