[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, and specifically relates to a stirring mechanism and a microbial kitchen garbage disposer. BACKGROUND

The ventilation device ensures sufficient oxygen supply in the stirring barrel, promotes the aerobic respiration of the microorganisms, and the microbial feeding device is used to feed the appropriate microbial strains into the stirring barrel.
[0005] When the kitchen garbage is put into the stirring barrel, the stirring mechanism starts to work, the stirring shaft rotates under the drive of the motor, and the kitchen garbage is stirred by the stirring blade.

[0027] The embodiment of the utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0028] As Figures 1 to 12 The embodiment of the utility model discloses a stirring mechanism, including stirring barrel 2, stirring barrel 2 is provided with stirring mechanism 4, stirring mechanism 4 includes stirring shaft 42 and multiple stirring vane 43 that are spaced apart on stirring shaft 42, and the surface of each stirring vane 43 is provided with inclined surface 431, so that the stirring vane 43 can stir kitchen waste, and kitchen waste will also slide off from the stirring vane 43 through inclined surface 431, and will not stay on the stirring vane 43 for too long.
[0029] When the microbial kitchen garbage processor is started, the motor drives stirring shaft 42 to rotate, and multiple stirring vanes 43 installed on stirring shaft 42 rotate synchronously, in the stirring process, stirring vane 43 will be in full contact with kitchen garbage, and stirring, turning and mixing are carried out, so that kitchen garbage and microorganisms can be in uniform contact, and decomposition of kitchen garbage by microorganisms is promoted.
[0030] Because the surface of each stirring vane 43 is provided with inclined surface 431, in the rotating process of stirring vane 43, kitchen garbage attached to stirring vane 43 will be affected by gravity and centrifugal force generated in the stirring process and other forces, and the forces will make kitchen garbage slide down along inclined surface 431, and finally slide off from stirring vane 43 and return to kitchen garbage in stirring barrel 2.
[0031] The surface of the traditional stirring vane is usually flat, kitchen garbage is easy to adhere and difficult to fall off, but the design of inclined surface 431 in the embodiment can make kitchen garbage slide down along the inclined surface under the action of force, greatly reducing the residual amount of kitchen garbage on the surface of stirring vane 43, which helps to keep stirring vane 43 clean, avoids bacteria breeding and odor generation due to kitchen residue, improves the working environment of the processor, and reduces pollution to the surrounding air.
[0032] And the embodiment reduces kitchen residue through inclined surface 431, reduces the weight and running resistance of stirring vane 43, thereby reducing the burden of the motor, reducing energy consumption, improving the running efficiency of the stirring mechanism, and prolonging the service life of the equipment.
[0033] Further, the residual kitchen waste can hinder the new kitchen waste and microorganisms from fully contacting, affecting the decomposition effect of the microorganisms. The inclined surface 431 enables the kitchen waste to slide down in time, ensuring the uniformity of stirring, allowing more kitchen waste to fully mix with the microorganisms, improving the decomposition efficiency of the microorganisms on the kitchen waste, and making the kitchen waste treatment more thorough.
[0034] The design of the inclined surface 431 on the surface of the stirring blade 43 is relatively simple, does not need to make large-scale modifications to the existing stirring mechanism, has low cost in the manufacturing and installation process, and has high practicability and generalizability.
[0035] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 The inclined surface 431 of the embodiment is inclined from the center of the stirring blade 43 to both sides.
[0036] Preferably, since the inclined surface 431 is inclined from the center of the stirring blade 43 to both sides, the kitchen waste attached to the center of the stirring blade 43 will slide to both sides of the stirring blade 43 under the action of the centrifugal force generated by rotation and the component force of its own gravity along the inclined surface.
[0037] For example, when the stirring blade 43 rotates, the centrifugal force will make the kitchen waste have a tendency to move to the edge of the stirring blade, and the guiding effect of the inclined surface 431 will guide the kitchen waste to move more smoothly from the center to both sides, and finally slide from both sides of the stirring blade 43 back into the kitchen waste in the stirring barrel 2.
[0038] The design of the inclined surface 431 from the center of the stirring blade 43 to both sides enables the kitchen waste to quickly and uniformly slide off the stirring blade, and this two-way inclined manner can simultaneously discharge the kitchen waste at the center of the stirring blade to both sides, accelerate the speed of the kitchen waste detaching from the stirring blade, improve the working efficiency of the stirring mechanism, and reduce the residence time of the kitchen waste on the stirring blade.
[0039] Further, during the process of the kitchen waste sliding from the center of the stirring blade to both sides, a more extensive distribution will be formed in the stirring barrel 2, the kitchen waste originally concentrated near the stirring blade is dispersed to different positions of the stirring barrel, further promoting the uniformity of the mixing of the kitchen waste in the stirring barrel, which helps the microorganisms to fully contact with more kitchen waste, and improves the decomposition effect of the kitchen waste.
[0040] Further, by making the kitchen waste slide from the center to both sides, excessive accumulation and friction of the kitchen waste at a certain local position of the stirring blade are avoided, the wear of the stirring blade is more uniform, the service life of the stirring blade is prolonged, and the maintenance cost of the equipment is reduced.
[0041] During the stirring process, a certain fluid environment is formed around the stirring blade, and the inclined surface 431 inclined from the center to both sides helps to improve the fluid flow characteristics around the stirring blade, reduces the resistance and turbulence during stirring, makes the stirring process more stable, reduces energy loss, and improves the overall performance of the stirring mechanism.
[0042] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 the shape of the stirring blade 43 of the embodiment is drop-shaped or prismatic.
[0043] Preferably, the head of the drop-shaped stirring blade 43 is sharp, and the resistance when cutting into the material during the stirring process is small. When the stirring blade rotates, the sharp head first contacts the material, and then along the arc surface of the drop shape, the material flows along the arc trajectory. This is because during rotation, a certain fluid field is formed around the stirring blade, and the drop-shaped shape conforms to the flow characteristics of the fluid, which can guide the material to flow in an orderly manner, thereby achieving the stirring of the material.
[0044] The stirring blade rotates to generate centrifugal force, and the material will spread from the center to the edge of the stirring blade. The drop-shaped stirring blade can better guide the material from the center to the edge, making the material form a circulating flow in the container, thereby enhancing the stirring effect.
[0045] Further, the smooth arc design is not easy to allow the material to adhere to the surface of the stirring blade, reducing the possibility of material accumulation and ensuring the continuous effectiveness of the stirring.
[0046] Further, the stirring of the material is relatively soft, which is suitable for some materials that are sensitive to structural damage, such as materials containing bioactive ingredients, which can maintain the original properties of the material during the stirring process.
[0047] Preferably, the edges of the prismatic stirring blade can cut and tear the material during rotation. When the stirring blade contacts the material, the edges can break larger material blocks into smaller particles. At the same time, the side surface of the stirring blade can push the material to make circular motion in the container, so that the material is continuously mixed.
[0048] The irregular shape of the prismatic shape can destroy the original laminar flow state of the material and form a turbulent flow during the stirring process. The turbulent flow can make the material mix thoroughly in all directions, improving the uniformity of the stirring.
[0049] For materials with hard or blocky texture, the cutting action of the edges can quickly break them, improving the stirring efficiency, and is particularly suitable for processing materials containing solid particles.
[0050] The formation of turbulent flow makes the mixing of the material in the container more thorough, avoiding the situation that the local material is not mixed uniformly, and ensuring the stability of the product quality.
[0051] The prismatic structure is relatively stable, can bear large torque and impact force, is suitable for high-strength stirring work, and prolongs the service life of the stirring blade.
[0052] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 The stirring blade 43 of the embodiment is provided with a connecting assembly 44 for detachable connection between the stirring blade 43 and the stirring shaft 42.
[0053] Preferably, the detachable connecting assembly has various forms, and the following lists several common forms and explains their working principles.
[0054] (1) Buckle type connection:
[0055] The buckle type connecting assembly is generally composed of a clamping block on the stirring blade and a clamping groove on the stirring shaft. When installing the stirring blade, the clamping block on the stirring blade is aligned with the clamping groove on the stirring shaft, and then a certain pressure is applied to make the clamping block clamped into the clamping groove. The clamping groove has a specific structure, such as an elastic protrusion or a limiting groove, which can firmly fix the clamping block in the clamping groove to prevent the stirring blade from falling off during rotation. When disassembling, the clamping block is separated from the clamping groove by pressing or prying a specific unlocking part. The principle of this connection mode is based on the cooperation and elastic deformation of the mechanical structure, and the connection and disassembly are realized by the interaction of the clamping block and the clamping groove.
[0056] (2) Bolt and nut connection:
[0057] Corresponding mounting holes are provided on the stirring blade and the stirring shaft, respectively. A bolt is passed through these mounting holes, and then a nut is tightened. The pre-tightening force generated by the thread cooperation between the bolt and the nut tightly fixes the stirring blade on the stirring shaft. During stirring, this pre-tightening force can ensure the stability of the relative position between the stirring blade and the stirring shaft, and transmit the required torque for stirring.
[0058] When disassembling, only the nut needs to be loosened, and the bolt is removed from the mounting hole to separate the stirring blade and the stirring shaft. The working principle is based on the mechanical fastening action of the thread.
[0059] (3) Key connection combined with locking nut
[0060] A key groove is processed on the stirring shaft, and the inner hole of the stirring blade also has a corresponding key groove. By embedding a flat key into the two key grooves, the circumferential fixation between the stirring shaft and the stirring blade is achieved, ensuring that the two can rotate synchronously and transmit torque. At the same time, a locking nut is used for axial fixation at the end of the stirring shaft to prevent the stirring blade from moving in the axial direction.
[0061] When installing, the flat key is first placed into the key groove of the stirring shaft, then the stirring blade is sleeved on the stirring shaft so that the key groove of the stirring blade is aligned with the flat key, and finally the locking nut is tightened. When disassembling, the locking nut is first loosened, and then the stirring blade is taken out from the stirring shaft in the axial direction.
[0062] The appropriate design can be selected according to actual needs.
[0063] Specifically, the stirring blade will be affected by material abrasion, corrosion and other factors during long-term use, resulting in performance degradation. When the stirring blade is damaged or severely worn, the detachable connection assembly can conveniently and quickly detach the stirring blade from the stirring shaft for maintenance or replacement, without the need to disassemble and replace the entire stirring device, greatly shortening the maintenance time and reducing the maintenance cost.
[0064] For different stirring tasks, different shapes, sizes or materials of stirring blades may be needed. The detachable connection makes it easy to replace the stirring blade, allowing flexible adjustment of the configuration of the stirring device according to actual needs, improving the versatility and adaptability of the equipment.
[0065] And during transportation of the equipment, the stirring blade and the stirring shaft are transported separately, which can reduce the overall volume and weight of the equipment, reduce the difficulty and cost of transportation, and also avoid damage caused by shaking or collision of the stirring blade during transportation.
[0066] At the installation site, the detachable design makes the installation process more convenient. The stirring shaft can be installed on the main body of the equipment first, and then the stirring blade can be installed on the stirring shaft through the connecting assembly, reducing the difficulty and complexity of installation.
[0067] Since the stirring blade and the stirring shaft can be stored and managed separately, the enterprise is more flexible in inventory management. It is not necessary to reserve a large number of complete stirring devices to cope with the damage of the stirring blade, but only a certain number of stirring blades need to be reserved. This can reduce the capital and space occupied by inventory and reduce the inventory cost of the enterprise.
[0068] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 The connecting assembly 44 of the present embodiment includes a plurality of first connecting holes 441 provided on the stirring shaft 42, and each tail end of the stirring blade 43 is provided with a connecting section 432 capable of being connected with the corresponding first connecting hole 441.
[0069] When installing the stirring blade 43 to the stirring shaft 42, first, the connecting section 432 at the tail end of the stirring blade 43 is aligned with the corresponding first connecting hole 441 on the stirring shaft 42, and there is usually a certain fitting tolerance between the connecting section 432 and the first connecting hole 441 to ensure that the two can be tightly combined. The connecting section 432 can be inserted into the first connecting hole 441 by manually or with the help of simple tools to exert external force. After insertion, the stability of the connection can be ensured by interference fit, friction or further fixing measures (such as bolts, pins, etc. that can be used later), so that the stirring shaft 42 can transmit torque to the stirring blade 43 when rotating to drive the stirring blade 43 to rotate together and achieve the stirring function.
[0070] When the stirring blade 43 needs to be disassembled, if it is connected by relying on friction or interference fit, an external force in the opposite direction of the installation direction needs to be applied to overcome the friction or interference force between the connecting section 432 and the first connecting hole 441, and the connecting section 432 is pulled out of the first connecting hole 441. If additional fixing measures such as bolts, pins, etc. are used, these fixing parts need to be removed first before the pulling out operation.
[0071] The design of this connection assembly is relatively simple, only the first connecting hole 441 needs to be provided on the stirring shaft 42, and the connecting section 432 needs to be provided at the tail end of the stirring blade 43. Compared with some complex connection structures, the number of parts and the processing difficulty are reduced, and the manufacturing cost is reduced. At the same time, the simple structure also makes the installation and disassembly process easier to understand and operate, without the need for professional technicians and complex tools.
[0072] In other embodiments, the provision of multiple first connecting holes 441 provides a certain adjustability for the installation of the stirring blade 43. According to the actual stirring requirements, different positions of the first connecting hole 441 can be selected to install the stirring blade 43, so as to adjust the distribution and angle of the stirring blade 43 on the stirring shaft 42 to achieve better stirring effect. For example, when processing materials with different viscosities and densities, the uniformity and efficiency of stirring can be optimized by adjusting the installation position of the stirring blade 43.
[0073] Further, due to the simple structure of the connection assembly and the few parts, during daily maintenance, the inspection and maintenance work is relatively easy. If the connecting section 432 or the first connecting hole 441 is slightly worn or damaged, these parts can be repaired or replaced individually, without the need to replace the entire stirring shaft 42 or stirring blade 43, thereby reducing the maintenance cost.
[0074] For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the first connecting hole 441 is provided with a threaded hole, and the connecting section 432 is provided with a threaded rod. When installing the stirring blade 43 to the stirring shaft 42, the threaded rod of the connecting section 432 is inserted into the threaded hole of the first connecting hole 441, and a nut is screwed onto the threaded rod to fix the connecting section 432 to the first connecting hole 441. When disassembling the stirring blade 43, the nut is unscrewed, and the connecting section 432 is pulled out of the first connecting hole 441. Figures 1 to 12As shown, the connecting assembly 44 of the present embodiment further comprises a second connecting hole 442 provided on the connecting segment 432, a third connecting hole 443 provided on the stirring shaft 42, and a connecting member 444 capable of being connected through the third connecting hole 443 and the second connecting hole 442.
[0075] First, the connecting segment 432 at the tail end of the stirring blade 43 is inserted into the corresponding first connecting hole 441 on the stirring shaft 42. During the insertion process, it is necessary to ensure that the second connecting hole 442 on the connecting segment 432 is aligned with the third connecting hole 443 on the stirring shaft 42.
[0076] When the second connecting hole 442 and the third connecting hole 443 are accurately aligned, the connecting member 444 is inserted through the third connecting hole 443 and into the second connecting hole 442. The connecting member 444 can be a bolt, a pin, or the like. If a bolt is used, a nut is also needed to be fastened. By tightening the nut, the connecting member 444 generates an axial tension force, tightly connecting the connecting segment 432 of the stirring blade 43 and the stirring shaft 42 together, thereby achieving reliable connection of the stirring shaft 42 and the stirring blade 43. When the stirring shaft 42 rotates, the connecting member 444 can effectively transmit torque to drive the stirring blade 43 to rotate, completing the stirring operation.
[0077] If the stirring blade 43 needs to be disassembled, for the case of using a bolt connection, a tool such as a wrench or screwdriver is needed to loosen the nut, and then the bolt is removed from the third connecting hole 443 and the second connecting hole 442. For the case of using a pin connection, a special tool can be used to pull the pin out of the hole.
[0078] After the connecting member 444 is removed, the connecting segment 432 of the stirring blade 43 can be pulled out of the first connecting hole 441 of the stirring shaft 42, achieving separation of the stirring blade 43 and the stirring shaft 42.
[0079] The connection through the third connecting hole 443 and the second connecting hole 442 by the connecting member 444 can provide a more reliable connection strength than simply relying on interference fit or friction force connection. During stirring, the stirring shaft 42 will bear a large torque and vibration. This connection method can effectively prevent the stirring blade 43 from loosening or falling off the stirring shaft 42, ensuring stable operation of the stirring device and improving the safety and reliability of the equipment.
[0080] The provision of the second connecting hole 442 and the third connecting hole 443 provides precise positioning for the installation of the stirring blade 43. During installation, the connecting member 444 can only pass smoothly when the two holes are accurately aligned, which ensures the accuracy of the installation position and angle of the stirring blade 43 on the stirring shaft 42. Precise positioning helps to ensure the consistency and stability of the stirring effect, making the stirring process more uniform and efficient.
[0081] The connecting piece 444 is usually a standardized component, such as a common bolt, pin, etc., with high universality. In different stirring devices or different specifications of stirring shafts and stirring blades, as long as the size and specification of the connecting hole match, the same type of connecting piece 444 can be used for connection.
[0082] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 , the third connecting hole 443 of the embodiment is a counterbore, and the head of the connecting piece 444 can be hidden in the counterbore.
[0083] During the operation of the stirring device, there may be other components or material flow around. If the head of the connecting piece 444 protrudes from the surface of the stirring shaft 42, it is easy to interfere with the surrounding components, such as scratching the inner wall of the stirring tank, colliding with other auxiliary equipment, etc., which not only affects the normal operation of the stirring device, but also may cause component damage. Hiding the head of the connecting piece 444 in the counterbore can effectively avoid such interference and improve the safety and stability of the device operation.
[0084] During stirring, the flow state of the material is crucial to the stirring effect. The protruding connecting piece head may disturb the normal flow of the material, forming unnecessary vortex or dead angle, affecting the uniformity of the material mixing. The counterbore design makes the connecting piece head not affect the flow path of the material, and the material can flow more smoothly around the stirring shaft and stirring blade, thereby ensuring the uniformity and efficiency of the stirring effect.
[0085] The connecting piece head hidden in the counterbore makes the surface of the stirring shaft more flat, reducing the possibility of material residue. When cleaning the stirring shaft, there is no protruding head to hinder, making it easier to clean comprehensively and thoroughly, which can effectively avoid the problem of material residue breeding bacteria and ensure the hygiene and safety of the production process.
[0086] From the appearance, the counterbore design makes the surface of the stirring shaft more neat and beautiful. This design can improve the overall image of the device and meet the user's demand for the beauty of the device.
[0087] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 , the microbial kitchen waste processor of the embodiment includes the stirring mechanism as claimed in any one of the above.
[0088] Preferably, the microbial kitchen waste processor of the embodiment includes a housing 1, a driving structure 3 is arranged in the housing 1, and a gear transmission assembly 5 capable of achieving transmission connection between the driving structure 3 and the stirring mechanism 4 is arranged.
[0089] When the microbial kitchen garbage disposer starts, the driving structure 3 begins to operate and generates power. The power output by the driving structure 3 is transmitted to the stirring mechanism 4 through the gear transmission assembly 5. The driving gear in the gear transmission assembly 5 is connected with the output shaft of the driving structure 3 and rotates with the rotation of the output shaft of the driving structure 3. The driving gear and the driven gear mesh with each other, and the rotation of the driving gear drives the rotation of the driven gear. The driven gear is connected with the stirring mechanism 4, so as to transmit the power to the stirring mechanism 4 and make the stirring mechanism 4 begin to rotate in the stirring barrel 2. The stirring mechanism 4 rotates in the stirring barrel 2 and stirs the kitchen garbage and the microorganisms, so as to mix the kitchen garbage and the microorganisms and accelerate the decomposition process of the kitchen garbage by the microorganisms.
[0090] Further, compared with the belt or chain transmission, the gears in the gear transmission assembly 5 transmit the power through the meshing of the gear teeth, and the meshing is more stable. The stability of the gear transmission makes the noise generated in the operation process smaller, and can create a relatively quiet atmosphere for the use environment.
[0091] Further, the gears in the gear transmission assembly 5 are usually made of high-strength materials and are processed and heat-treated specially, and have high hardness and strength. It can withstand large torque and load. When the stirring mechanism 4 stirs the kitchen garbage, even if some hard kitchen garbage or large resistance is encountered, the gear transmission can stably transmit the power and is not easy to be damaged or deformed, so as to ensure the normal operation of the whole disposer.
[0092] Further, the gear transmission has accurate transmission ratio, can accurately transmit the power of the driving structure 3 to the stirring mechanism 4, and ensures that the stirring mechanism 4 rotates according to the predetermined speed and mode. The high-precision transmission can make the stirring more uniform and efficient, improve the decomposition effect of the kitchen garbage by the microorganisms, and at the same time, the accurate transmission also reduces the additional wear and impact between the components caused by transmission error, further improves the structural strength and service life of the whole transmission system.
[0093] Further, the structure of the gear transmission assembly 5 is relatively simple, and there is no problem such as aging and relaxation of the belt in the belt transmission and skipping and chain disengagement of the chain in the chain transmission. It has high working stability and does not need to be adjusted and replaced frequently like the belt and chain in the long-term use process, reduces the maintenance cost and downtime of the equipment, and improves the overall reliability and operation efficiency of the equipment.
[0094] As Figures 1 to 12As shown, the gear transmission assembly 5 of the present embodiment comprises a driving wheel 51 arranged at the output end of the driving structure 3 and a multi-stage gear set 52, and the stirring mechanism 4 is provided with a transmission end 41 penetrating through one side of the stirring barrel 2, and the multi-stage gear set 52 is in transmission connection with the driving wheel 51 and the transmission end 41 respectively.
[0095] When the driving structure 3 is started, the output end thereof starts to rotate, driving the driving wheel 51 arranged at the output end to rotate, and the rotation of the driving wheel 51 transmits power to the multi-stage gear set 52 in transmission connection therewith. The multi-stage gear set 52 is composed of a plurality of gears in meshing with each other, and the rotation of the driving wheel 51 drives the first gear in direct meshing with the driving wheel 51 to rotate, and then the power is transmitted step by step inside the multi-stage gear set 52 through the meshing transmission between the gears one by one. Finally, the multi-stage gear set 52 transmits the power to the gear connected with the transmission end 41 of the stirring mechanism 4, thereby driving the transmission end 41 to rotate, and further driving the stirring mechanism 4 to start working in the stirring barrel 2, and stirring the kitchen waste and microorganisms in the barrel.
[0096] Preferably, each gear transmission of the multi-stage gear set 52 has a precise transmission ratio, which makes the speed change from the driving wheel 51 to the transmission end 41 controllable accurately, and the multi-stage gear transmission can more directly and accurately transmit the power of the driving structure 3 to the stirring mechanism 4 according to the preset speed, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the stirring process.
[0097] Further, in the multi-stage gear transmission, when the rotation speed of the driving wheel 51 is high but the torque is small, a larger torque output can be obtained at the transmission end 41 through the speed reduction transmission of the multi-stage gear set 52. When processing the kitchen waste, the stirring mechanism 4 can encounter greater resistance, especially when there is more or harder waste in the stirring barrel 2. The multi-stage gear set 52 can reasonably distribute and amplify the power output by the driving structure 3, so that the stirring mechanism 4 can obtain sufficient torque to overcome these resistances and ensure the smooth progress of the stirring work.
[0098] Further, the gear transmission itself has high transmission efficiency. Although the multi-stage gear set 52 increases the number of gears and the number of transmission stages, the energy loss is relatively small in the process of transmitting torque due to the characteristics of the meshing mode. The multi-stage gear transmission can more effectively transmit the power of the driving structure 3 to the stirring mechanism 4, thereby reducing the waste of energy and improving the energy utilization efficiency of the entire processor.
[0099] Further, the multi-stage gear set 52 can be reasonably arranged and designed according to the space structure inside the shell 1, and through reasonable arrangement and combination of multiple gears, complex transmission functions can be realized in limited space. Compared with some other transmission modes such as long shaft transmission, the multi-stage gear transmission can more flexibly change the transmission direction and path, avoid the difficulty in transmission structure design caused by space limitation, make the structure of the whole microbial kitchen garbage disposer more compact, and save installation space.
[0100] Further, the multi-stage gear set 52 can be designed and manufactured as an independent module. In the production and maintenance process of the microbial kitchen garbage disposer, the modular design makes the installation, disassembly and replacement of the gear transmission assembly 5 more convenient. If a gear is damaged or needs to be adjusted, the multi-stage gear set 52 module can be directly operated without the need for large-scale disassembly and maintenance of the whole equipment, improving the maintainability and production efficiency of the equipment.
[0101] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 The multi-stage gear set 52 of the embodiment includes a first gear 521 and a second gear 522 engaged with the first gear 521. The first gear 521 and the second gear 522 are connected in sequence from top to bottom along the vertical direction of the shell 1. The first gear 521 is connected with the transmission end 41, and the second gear 522 is engaged with the driving wheel 51.
[0102] When the driving structure 3 is started, the output end drives the driving wheel 51 to rotate. Since the second gear 522 is engaged with the driving wheel 51, the rotation of the driving wheel 51 will drive the second gear 522 to rotate through the interaction force between the teeth. After the second gear 522 rotates, it will transmit power to the first gear 521 because it is engaged with the first gear 521, so that the first gear 521 also starts to rotate. The first gear 521 is connected with the transmission end 41 of the stirring mechanism 4, and the rotation of the first gear 521 will drive the transmission end 41 to rotate, thereby making the stirring mechanism 4 perform stirring work in the stirring barrel 2, and realizing the mixing and stirring of kitchen garbage and microorganisms.
[0103] Preferably, the first gear 521 and the second gear 522 are connected in sequence from top to bottom along the vertical direction of the shell 1. This layout makes full use of the vertical space of the shell 1. In the microbial kitchen garbage disposer, the space is usually limited, and the vertical gear arrangement can avoid occupying too much space in the horizontal direction, making the overall structure of the equipment more compact. This is particularly important for equipment that needs to be installed in a relatively small space such as a kitchen, and can better adapt to different installation environments.
[0104] Further, the vertically arranged gear sets facilitate integrated design with other components, for example, the transmission end 41 of the stirring mechanism 4 can be conveniently connected with the first gear 521 located above, while the driving structure 3 can be reasonably arranged below the stirring barrel 2, so that the driving wheel 51 is engaged with the second gear 522, such a layout makes the connection between components more smooth, reduces the complexity of the transmission path, and improves the integration and stability of the entire device.
[0105] Further, the gear transmission itself has the characteristics of high transmission accuracy and good stability, the engagement transmission between the first gear 521 and the second gear 522 can accurately transmit the power of the driving wheel 51 to the transmission end 41, ensuring the stable operation of the stirring mechanism 4, and during the process of stirring kitchen waste, stable transmission can ensure the uniformity of stirring speed, so that microorganisms and kitchen waste are fully mixed, improving the efficiency and effect of waste decomposition.
[0106] Further, the first gear 521 and the second gear 522 connected in the vertical direction are relatively independent and have clear positions, which facilitates inspection and maintenance by staff. During routine maintenance, the wear condition and lubrication state of the gears can be easily observed. If a gear fails, it can be relatively easily disassembled and replaced, reducing the difficulty and time cost of maintenance and improving the maintainability of the device.
[0107] Further, for gear transmission, good lubrication is the key to ensure normal operation and prolong service life. In this vertical layout, the gears can be more conveniently lubricated and managed, for example, appropriate lubrication methods (such as oil dripping lubrication, oil bath lubrication, etc.) can be used to better cover the gear surface with lubricating oil. Due to the action of gravity, the flow and distribution of lubricating oil in the vertical direction are relatively conducive to the lubrication of the gears, reducing the probability of gear wear and failure.
[0108] In other embodiments, by reasonably selecting the gear ratio of the first gear 521 and the second gear 522, the transmission ratio can be conveniently adjusted. Different kitchen waste treatment needs may require different stirring speeds. By changing the gear ratio, the speed between the driving wheel 51 and the transmission end 41 can be changed to adapt to different working scenarios, for example, when fast stirring is needed, a suitable gear ratio can be selected to increase the speed of the transmission end 41; when hard waste needs to be processed, the gears can be replaced to adjust the gear ratio to reduce the speed and increase the torque. The appropriate design can be selected according to the actual needs.
[0109] As Figures 1 to 12As shown, the centers of the first gear 521, the second gear 522, and the driving wheel 51 are on the same straight line, and their rotations are around the same axis, and the power transmission is sequentially along this straight line direction, which ensures the continuity and stability of the transmission.
[0110] When the centers of the three gears are on the same straight line, the power transmission path is more direct, and during the transmission process, the force transmission direction between the gears is relatively single, reducing unnecessary lateral force and torque loss. This design avoids energy loss caused by force dispersion and direction change, so that the energy output by the driving structure can be more efficiently transmitted to the stirring mechanism, improving the efficiency of the entire transmission system and reducing energy consumption.
[0111] Furthermore, the linear arrangement of the gear transmission can more accurately control the transmission of rotational speed and torque, because the gears rotate around the same axis, their relative positional relationship is more stable, and the meshing between the teeth is more accurate, reducing the accumulation of errors during transmission. This is very important for kitchen waste treatment equipment that needs to accurately control the stirring speed and intensity, as it can ensure the consistency and stability of the stirring effect and improve the mixing quality of kitchen waste and microorganisms.
[0112] Furthermore, when the centers of the three gears are on the same straight line, the force on the transmission system is more uniform and balanced, and during operation, there will be no large vibration and noise due to eccentricity or irregular motion of the gears. Smooth operation not only prolongs the service life of the gears and other transmission components, but also creates a quiet environment for the use of the equipment, reduces interference with the surrounding environment, and improves the user's experience.
[0113] Furthermore, the linear arrangement of the gears makes the structure of the entire transmission system more compact and stable. The connection between the gears is more compact, and the mutual support is stronger, which can better withstand various forces and torques during transmission. This helps to improve the overall reliability of the equipment, reduce the risk of parts loosening or damage due to factors such as vibration and impact, reduce the failure rate of the equipment, and ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment.
[0114] Furthermore, since the centers of the three gears are on the same straight line, it is easier to position and align during equipment installation, and installation personnel can more conveniently install each gear to the correct position, reducing the debugging time and difficulty during installation, improving installation efficiency, and at the same time, the linear layout also facilitates connection and assembly with other components, making the entire equipment installation process smoother.
[0115] As Figures 1 to 12As shown, the gear transmission assembly 5 of the embodiment further includes a structural support plate 53 located on one side of the stirring barrel 2, and the structural support plate 53 is provided with a support housing 54 capable of assembling the second gear 522, and the upper side and the lower side of the support housing 54 are respectively provided with a second opening 541 and a first opening 542 for the second gear 522 to be exposed.
[0116] Specifically, the structural support plate 53 is installed on one side of the stirring barrel 2, providing a stable support foundation for the entire gear transmission assembly 5. The support housing 54 is fixed on the structural support plate 53, and the second gear 522 is assembled in the support housing 54. When the driving wheel 51 rotates, power is transmitted to the second gear 522 through meshing with the second gear 522. Since the support housing 54 supports and positions the second gear 522, it ensures that the second gear 522 can stably rotate around its own axis, thereby accurately transmitting power to the first gear 521 or other components cooperating therewith.
[0117] Further, the second opening 541 on the upper side and the first opening 542 on the lower side of the support housing 54 make part of the teeth of the second gear 522 exposed. The second opening 541 on the upper side facilitates the meshing of the driving wheel 51 and the second gear 522. The teeth of the driving wheel 51 can interact with the teeth of the second gear 522 through this opening to achieve power transmission. The first opening 542 on the lower side facilitates the meshing of the second gear 522 and the first gear 521 or other driven components, further transmitting power down to complete the entire transmission process.
[0118] Specifically, the structural support plate 53 provides additional support for the gear transmission assembly 5, making the entire transmission system more stable. The wrapping and support of the second gear 522 by the support housing 54 reduces the shaking and deviation of the second gear 522 during operation, ensuring accurate meshing between the gears and improving the stability and reliability of the transmission, which is very important for equipment that needs to operate stably for a long time, reducing failures and damage caused by gear vibration or misalignment.
[0119] Further, integrating the support housing 54 on the structural support plate 53 makes the structure of the gear transmission assembly 5 more compact. This design can save space for the equipment, especially suitable for applications with limited space. At the same time, the compact structure also facilitates the overall layout and installation of the equipment, improving the integration and aesthetics of the equipment.
[0120] Further, the design of the second opening 541 and the first opening 542 makes the meshing between the driving wheel 51, the second gear 522 and other driven gears more smooth, the openings provide enough space for the teeth of the gears to fully contact and interact with each other, reducing the problem of poor meshing caused by space limitations, which helps to improve transmission efficiency, reduce energy loss and ensure that power can be efficiently transmitted from the driving wheel to the driven wheel.
[0121] Further, the presence of the openings makes it easy for maintenance personnel to observe the working condition and wear of the second gear 522, and when the meshing gap of the gear needs to be adjusted or the gear needs to be replaced, the openings can also be used for operation without the need to disassemble the entire support housing 54, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance, which can reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
[0122] Further, the second opening 541 and the first opening 542 provide convenience for the lubrication of the gears, and lubricating oil or grease can be added to the meshing part of the gears through the openings to ensure that the gears are well lubricated during operation, reducing wear and friction resistance and prolonging the service life of the gears.
[0123] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 The support housing 54 of the present embodiment includes a first housing 543 provided on the structural support plate 53 and a second housing 544 detachably connected with the first housing 543, the first housing 543 is provided with a first bearing member 545, the second housing 544 is provided with a second bearing member 546, and the second gear 522 is located between the first bearing member 545 and the second bearing member 546.
[0124] Specifically, the first housing 543 is fixed on the structural support plate 53, providing a mounting base for the entire support housing 54, and the second gear 522 is installed between the first bearing member 545 and the second bearing member 546, which respectively support the two ends of the second gear 522, allowing the second gear 522 to rotate stably around its own axis. When the driving wheel drives the second gear 522 to rotate, the bearing members can reduce the friction during rotation to ensure smooth power transmission.
[0125] Specifically, the first shell 543 and the second shell 544 are detachably connected. When installing the second gear 522, the second gear 522 can be placed on the first bearing member 545 first, and then the second shell 544 is connected with the first shell 543, so that the second gear 522 is accurately positioned between the first bearing member 545 and the second bearing member 546. When the second gear 522 needs to be repaired, replaced or inspected, the second shell 544 can be easily detached, and the second gear 522 can be taken out for corresponding operation.
[0126] Further, the detachable design makes the installation of the second gear 522 more convenient. The split structure can more flexibly adjust the position and angle of the second gear 522 during installation, ensuring accurate installation on the bearing member and improving installation precision and efficiency.
[0127] Further, when the second gear 522 fails or needs regular maintenance, the second gear 522 can be directly contacted by detaching the second shell 544, without the need to detach the entire support shell 54 or other related parts, which greatly shortens the repair time, reduces the repair difficulty, reduces the downtime of the equipment, improves the production efficiency, and also facilitates the inspection and replacement of the bearing member, ensuring the normal operation of the gear transmission system.
[0128] Further, the first bearing member 545 and the second bearing member 546 support the two ends of the second gear 522 respectively, which can effectively reduce the radial runout and axial movement of the second gear 522 during rotation, improve the stability and reliability of the gear transmission, which helps to ensure accurate meshing between gears, reduce noise and vibration during transmission, and prolong the service life of the gears and other related parts.
[0129] Further, the detachable support shell 54 facilitates the lubrication and heat dissipation of the internal second gear 522 and bearing member. During installation and maintenance, lubricating oil can be easily added or replaced to ensure good lubrication of the bearings and gears. At the same time, the inside of the shell can be cleaned to prevent impurities from accumulating and affecting the heat dissipation effect, ensuring that the gear transmission system works at an appropriate temperature.
[0130] Further, if the second gear 522 or the bearing member is damaged, only the corresponding parts need to be replaced, without the need to replace the entire support shell 54. This detachable design reduces maintenance costs and equipment usage costs. In addition, during production, the split shell structure can use different processing techniques and materials, and be optimized according to actual needs, further reducing production costs.
[0131] Further, the detachable connection of the first shell 543 and the second shell 544 makes the support shell 54 have a certain universality, and different specifications of the second gear 522 or types of bearing members can be replaced or adjusted according to different application scenarios and requirements to adapt to different transmission requirements, which improves the flexibility and adaptability of the device and reduces the replacement cost of the device.
[0132] Preferably, the first bearing member 545 comprises a fixed groove provided on the first shell 543 and a bearing provided in the fixed groove, and the second bearing member 546 comprises a fixed groove provided on the second shell 544 and a bearing provided in the fixed groove, and the two sides of the second gear 522 are respectively provided with shafts corresponding to the bearings. With this design, the normal rotation of the second gear 522 can be ensured, and at the same time, the structure of the support shell 54 can be more compact, which is beneficial to reducing the volume of the processor.
[0133] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 The inner side and the outer side of the support shell 54 of the embodiment are both provided with a reinforcing rib member 547.
[0134] During the operation of the device, the support shell 54 will be subjected to forces generated by the rotation of the internal second gear 522 and various external loads that may exist. These forces will cause stress concentration phenomenon of the support shell 54. The reinforcing rib member 547 can disperse these concentrated stresses to a larger area. When the stress is transmitted to the reinforcing rib, the reinforcing rib will transmit the stress along its own structure to other parts of the support shell, avoiding excessive concentration of stress in the local area, thereby ensuring the stability of the support shell structure.
[0135] Preferably, the reinforcing rib member 547 is equivalent to adding an additional support structure to the support shell 54. From the perspective of mechanics, it improves the bending and torsional resistance of the support shell. When the support shell is subjected to bending or torsional forces, the reinforcing rib can resist these deformation forces, so that the support shell maintains its original shape and size, ensuring that it can normally play a supporting role on the second gear 522 and other components.
[0136] By providing the reinforcing rib member 547, the overall strength of the support shell 54 is significantly improved. This makes the support shell able to withstand greater forces without deformation or damage, ensuring the normal operating environment of the second gear 522 and other internal components. When the gear rotates at high speed or bears a large load, the stable structure of the support shell can prevent problems such as poor gear meshing caused by deformation of the shell, improving the reliability and stability of the entire transmission system.
[0137] Further, the presence of the reinforcing ribs effectively reduces the deformation of the support shell when subjected to stress, whether due to internal pressure or external impact, and limits the deformation range of the shell.
[0138] Further, the presence of the reinforcing ribs can significantly improve the performance of the support shell without significantly increasing the amount of material, thereby reducing material costs.
[0139] Further, the reinforcing rib member can be integrally formed with the shell during the manufacturing process of the support shell, such as by casting, injection molding, etc. This integrated manufacturing method not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces subsequent assembly processes and manufacturing costs.
[0140] Preferably, the reinforcing rib member 547 includes a plurality of reinforcing rib protrusions spaced along the circumference of the support shell 54, with each reinforcing rib protrusion extending from one end to the central region of the support shell 54 and from the other end to the side wall of the support shell 54. The appropriate design can be selected according to actual needs.
[0141] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 The side of the stirring barrel 2 of the present embodiment is provided with a relief hole 21 for the transmission end 41 to pass through, and the outer side of the relief hole 21 is provided with a bearing assembly 22. The transmission end 41 passes through the relief hole 21 and the bearing assembly 22 and is connected with the first gear 521.
[0142] Specifically, the bearing assembly is installed on the outer side of the relief hole, and its main function is to support the transmission end and reduce friction during transmission. When the transmission end rotates, the rolling elements (such as balls or rollers) inside the bearing assembly roll between the inner and outer rings, converting the sliding friction between the transmission end and the stirring barrel into rolling friction, greatly reducing the friction. This allows the transmission end to rotate more smoothly, reducing energy loss and ensuring efficient power transmission. At the same time, the bearing assembly can also withstand the radial and axial forces generated during the rotation of the transmission end, ensuring stable operation of the transmission end.
[0143] Further, the presence of the reinforcing ribs effectively reduces the deformation of the support shell when subjected to stress, whether due to internal pressure or external impact, and limits the deformation range of the shell.
[0144] Further, the bearing assembly converts sliding friction into rolling friction, significantly reducing the friction during transmission, and the reduction of friction means the reduction of energy loss, so that the energy output by the power source can be more effectively transmitted to the stirring component, improving the transmission efficiency of the whole stirring system, which not only saves energy, but also makes the stirring component obtain more stable speed and improves the stirring effect.
[0145] Further, the bearing assembly can support the transmission end well, bear various forces generated during transmission, and ensure stable rotation of the transmission end, which helps to reduce vibration and shaking of the transmission end and reduce the risk of damage to the equipment caused by vibration and shaking, prolonging the service life of the equipment.
[0146] Further, the transmission end is connected with the first gear through the avoidance hole and the bearing assembly, which makes the installation process of the equipment relatively simple. During installation, the bearing assembly can be installed outside the avoidance hole, and then the transmission end is connected with the first gear through the bearing assembly, which is convenient for operation.
[0147] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 The bearing assembly 22 of the embodiment includes a first connecting shell 221 arranged on one side of the stirring barrel 2, a second connecting shell 222 detachably connected with the first connecting shell 221, and a third bearing 223 arranged between the first connecting shell 221 and the second connecting shell 222, the third bearing 223 is sleeved outside the transmission end 41.
[0148] Specifically, during the operation of the stirring equipment, the power source outputs rotary power through the transmission end 41, and the third bearing 223 is sleeved outside the transmission end 41, which plays a key supporting role. When the transmission end 41 rotates, the inner ring of the third bearing 223 rotates with the transmission end 41, while the outer ring is relatively static. Through the rolling of the internal rolling body (such as a ball or a roller) between the inner and outer rings, the rotary motion of the transmission end 41 is stably transmitted, and the radial force and the possible axial force generated during the rotation of the transmission end 41 are borne, so that the transmission end 41 can rotate smoothly and stably, thereby reliably transmitting power to the subsequent first gear 521 and other components, and driving the stirring component in the stirring barrel 2 to perform stirring work.
[0149] Preferably, the first connecting shell 221 is installed on one side of the stirring barrel 2, providing a mounting base and fixed position for the entire bearing assembly 22, and the second connecting shell 222 is detachably connected with the first connecting shell 221, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the third bearing 223. During installation, the third bearing 223 can be placed in the corresponding position of the first connecting shell 221, and then the second connecting shell 222 is connected with the first connecting shell 221 to fix the third bearing 223 therebetween. When maintenance, replacement, etc. of the third bearing 223 is required, the second connecting shell 222 is only needed to be disassembled to conveniently take out the third bearing 223 for processing. This makes the installation process simpler, and each component can be processed and pretreated separately before being assembled on site, thereby reducing the installation difficulty and time. For example, at the installation site, the first connecting shell 221 can be fixed on the stirring barrel 2, the third bearing 223 is accurately placed in the first connecting shell 221, and finally the second connecting shell 222 is installed to complete the installation of the entire bearing assembly 22.
[0150] Further, the first connecting shell 221 and the second connecting shell 222 firmly fix the third bearing 223 on one side of the stirring barrel 2, which can better ensure the coaxiality of the third bearing 223 and the transmission end 41, making the transmission end 41 more stable during rotation. The stable transmission end 41 helps to reduce the vibration and noise of the equipment, improves the operation stability and reliability of the entire stirring equipment, and ensures the consistency and stability of the stirring effect.
[0151] Further, the detachable bearing assembly 22 design has certain scalability and universality. If different specifications or performance of the third bearing 223 need to be replaced during subsequent equipment upgrading or modification, only the first connecting shell 221 and the second connecting shell 222 need to be appropriately adjusted or replaced according to the size of the new bearing, and the bearing assembly 22 can be upgraded without the need for large-scale modification of the entire stirring equipment, thereby reducing the cost and difficulty of equipment upgrading. At the same time, the design is also convenient for popularization and application in different models of stirring equipment, improving the universality of equipment parts.
[0152] Preferably, the second connecting shell 222 is provided with a groove for positioning and assembling the third bearing 223, which ensures the accurate assembly of the third bearing 223 and makes the structure of the bearing assembly 22 more compact.
[0153] As Figures 1 to 12As shown, the bearing assembly 22 in this embodiment also includes a sealing member 224 disposed in the first connecting housing 221, the sealing member 224 being located between the third bearing 223 and the clearance hole 21.
[0154] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, a filter assembly 6 is provided on one side of the housing 1 in this embodiment. An airflow channel 11 is provided inside the housing 1, which is connected to the filter assembly 6 and the stirring tank 2 respectively. The airflow channel 11 is located in the upper region of the filter assembly 6. A suction assembly 7 is also provided inside the housing 1. A suction hole 61 is provided on the side wall of the filter assembly 6 near its bottom. The suction end of the suction assembly 7 is connected to the suction hole 61. An air outlet channel 12 is provided in the housing 1. The air outlet end of the suction assembly 7 is connected to the air outlet channel 12. The suction assembly 7 can draw air from the stirring tank 2 through the filter assembly 6. After the air is filtered by a filter material such as activated carbon in the filter assembly 6, the suction assembly 7 discharges the filtered air through the air outlet channel 12.
[0155] Since the airflow channel 11 is located in the upper region of the filter assembly 6, and the air intake hole 61 is located on the side wall of the filter assembly 6 near its bottom, after the air enters from the upper part of the filter assembly 6, it will flow from top to bottom under the guidance of suction. After passing through the filter materials such as activated carbon filled in the filter assembly 6, these filter materials can adsorb and filter pollutants such as odors, dust and harmful microorganisms in the air. The filtered and purified air is drawn in by the air intake assembly 7 through the air intake hole 61, and then discharged to the outside of the housing 1 through the air outlet 12 via the air outlet end of the air intake assembly 7.
[0156] In this design, the airflow enters from the top of the filter assembly 6 and flows to the bottom air intake 61, allowing the airflow to pass through as many parts of the filter assembly 6 as possible. This ensures that the filter materials, such as activated carbon, in the filter assembly 6 can fully contact the air, thereby filtering and adsorbing pollutants in the air more comprehensively and greatly improving the filtration effect.
[0157] Because the airflow flows evenly across the entire filter assembly 6, it prevents localized filter media from becoming rapidly saturated and failing due to overuse. This extends the overall lifespan of the filter media, reduces the frequency of replacement, and lowers operating costs.
[0158] When the airflow can flow evenly through the filter assembly 6, the distribution of pollutants within the filter assembly 6 will be more uniform, reducing the likelihood of blockages caused by excessive accumulation of pollutants in localized areas. This helps maintain unobstructed airflow channels, enabling the suction assembly 7 to operate stably, reducing equipment malfunctions caused by blockages, and improving the overall stability and reliability of the microbial food waste processor.
[0159] Due to the difficulty of filter assembly 6 clogging, the maintenance cycle of the device can be extended accordingly, and the maintenance workload and maintenance cost will also be reduced. At the same time, the service life of the filter material is also extended, which further reduces the operating cost of the device.
[0160] By improving the filtering effect, pollutants such as odors, dust and harmful microorganisms in the air can be more effectively removed, making the air discharged to the outside cleaner and meeting environmental protection requirements. This helps to reduce pollution to the surrounding environment and protect the ecological environment and people's health.
[0161] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 The filter assembly 6 of the present embodiment is in a detachable connection structure with the housing 1.
[0162] Specifically, as the use time increases, the filter material (such as activated carbon) in the filter assembly 6 will gradually adsorb and saturate, and its filtering effect will decrease. When it is necessary to replace the filter assembly 6, since the filter assembly 6 and the housing 1 adopt a detachable connection structure, the user can separate the filter assembly 6 from the housing 1 by a specific disassembly method, such as unfastening the buckle, unscrewing the screw, etc. (the specific method depends on the actual connection method adopted). Then install a new filter assembly 6 on the housing 1 to restore the normal operation of the device, so as to ensure the continuous and effective air filtering function.
[0163] The filter material in the filter assembly 6 needs to be replaced after a period of use, and the detachable connection structure makes this operation very simple. The user does not need to disassemble the entire device complicatedly, but only needs to disassemble the filter assembly 6 alone, so that the filter material therein can be conveniently replaced, greatly saving maintenance time and effort.
[0164] In addition to replacing the filter material, dust and dirt will also accumulate inside and on the surface of the filter assembly 6 after long-term use. The detachable design allows the user to remove the filter assembly 6 for comprehensive cleaning, ensuring that the performance and hygiene of the filter assembly 6 are good, and further improving the service life and filtering effect of the device.
[0165] When the filter assembly 6 has problems or the filtering effect is not good, the user only needs to replace the filter assembly 6 itself, without the need to replace the entire device. This avoids the replacement of the entire device due to local damage, greatly reducing the use cost.
[0166] The detachable connection structure allows the user to select different types and specifications of filter assemblies 6 or filter materials according to actual needs and different use scenarios. For example, when dealing with kitchen waste with heavy odor, a filter assembly with stronger adsorption performance such as activated carbon can be selected; when used in an environment with high requirements for air quality, a filter assembly with higher filtering precision can be selected. This flexibility enables users to meet diverse use needs at a lower cost.
[0167] With the continuous development of technology and changes in user needs, filtration technology is also constantly improving. The detachable connection structure allows the device to easily adapt to new filter assemblies 6, and users can upgrade the filtration function of the device at any time to meet different filtration requirements and environmental protection standards, extending the service life and application range of the device.
[0168] Replacing the filter assembly 6 in a timely manner ensures that the device always has good filtration performance, continuously and effectively removing pollutants such as odors, dust, and harmful microorganisms in the air, providing a clean and healthy use environment for users. Especially when handling kitchen waste, it can effectively reduce the emission of odors and improve indoor air quality.
[0169] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 , the filter assembly 6 of the present embodiment includes a box body 62 and a top pull cover 63 detachably connected to the box body 62.
[0170] When the filter material reaches saturation or failure after a period of use, since the top pull cover 63 is detachably connected to the box body 62, the user can directly access the filter material inside the box body 62 by opening the top pull cover 63. The old filter material is removed and replaced with new filter material, and then the top pull cover 63 is reinstalled on the box body 62 to restore the normal filtration function of the filter assembly 6, ensuring that the air is continuously and effectively purified.
[0171] The detachable design of the top pull cover 63 makes the operation of replacing the filter material extremely simple. Users do not need complex tools or professional skills, and only need to open the pull cover to directly replace the filter material, greatly reducing the difficulty and time cost of replacing the filter material.
[0172] After opening the top pull cover 63, the user can easily inspect the inside of the box body 62 to check for foreign matter accumulation, filter material usage, etc. Timely detection and processing help ensure the normal operation of the filter assembly 6.
[0173] Users can choose different types and specifications of filter materials according to actual needs and different use scenarios. For example, for different odor components, activated carbon with different adsorption properties can be selected; for dust of different particle sizes, filter cotton with different filtration precision can be selected. By replacing the top pull cover 63, the filter material can be easily replaced, allowing the filter assembly 6 to better adapt to various complex filtration requirements.
[0174] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 , one side of the shell 1 of the present embodiment is provided with a fitting hole 13 capable of fitting the box body 62, and when the box body 62 is fitted into the fitting hole 13, the outer side surface of the box body 62 is consistent with the outer side surface of the shell 1.
[0175] When the tank 62 needs to be installed, the operator aligns the tank 62 with the assembly hole 13 on one side of the shell 1, and assembles the tank 62 into the assembly hole 13 in a certain way (such as direct insertion, clamping, etc.). Because the shape of the tank 62 and the size and position of the assembly hole 13 are precisely planned during the design stage, the outer side of the tank 62 can be consistent with the outer side curvature of the shell 1 after installation. In this way, the tank 62 of the filter assembly looks like a part of the shell 1 in overall appearance, achieving seamless connection between the two in terms of shape.
[0176] The outer side of the tank 62 is consistent with the outer side curvature of the shell 1, making the overall appearance of the microbial kitchen waste disposer smoother and more uniform. It avoids the awkward feeling caused by the mismatch between the tank 62 and the shell 1 in terms of appearance, improves the overall aesthetics of the product, and better meets the aesthetic needs of consumers for product appearance.
[0177] If the outer side of the tank 62 is not consistent with the outer side curvature of the shell 1, it may form a protruding or recessed part. These parts are prone to bumping during personnel activities, causing injury to personnel or damage to the product. The design of consistent curvature eliminates these potential dangers, making the product surface more flat and reducing safety hazards.
[0178] A flat and uniform outer surface is not easy to accumulate dust and dirt. Compared with a surface with protrusions or recesses, dust and debris are more difficult to adhere to the outer surface with consistent curvature, making it easier to clean and maintain daily, while also helping to maintain the hygiene of the product.
[0179] When the tank 62 is assembled into the assembly hole 13 and the outer side is consistent with the outer side curvature of the shell 1, it indicates that the fitting precision between the two is high. This close fitting relationship can enhance the connection stability between the tank 62 and the shell 1, reducing the possibility of the tank 62 loosening or shifting due to factors such as vibration and shaking during use.
[0180] The consistent curvature design helps to distribute stress more evenly on the tank 62 and the shell 1 when the product is subjected to external forces. It avoids structural damage caused by local stress concentration, improving the overall structural strength and reliability of the product.
[0181] The consistent curvature design of the outer side of the tank 62 and the shell 1 makes the product more compact in overall appearance, without occupying too much space due to the additional protrusion of the tank 62. This is particularly important for space-limited use sites (such as small kitchens), allowing more efficient use of space resources.
[0182] The compact and uniform shape makes the product easier to place and stack, reduces the occupied space volume, and improves the efficiency of transportation and storage.
[0183] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 The outer side of the box 62 of the embodiment is provided with a handle recess 621, which facilitates the user to lift the filter assembly 6 or the processor, and has the advantages of simple structure and convenient operation.
[0184] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 The handle recess 621 of the embodiment is provided with a hook 622. The hook 622 can be used to hang a shovel and other parts. The shovel can be used to shovel kitchen waste in the mixing barrel 2.
[0185] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 The bottom side wall of the shell 1 of the embodiment is provided with an air outlet 15 corresponding to the output port of the air outlet channel 12, so as to form the effect of bottom side air outlet.
[0186] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 The bottom of the shell 1 of the embodiment is provided with an air flow circulation disc 8 located below the air outlet channel 12 and communicating with the air outlet channel 12 and the air outlet 15 respectively. The air flow circulation disc 8 can change the direction of the air flow blown by the air outlet channel 12, so that the air flow circulates in it and is discharged from the air outlet 15, so as to form the effect of bottom side air outlet.
[0187] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 Figures 1 to 12 Figures 1 to 12 The filter assembly 6 of the embodiment further comprises an ozone generator arranged in the air flow channel 11 and a UV lamp located above the air flow circulation disc 8.
[0188] Preferably, when the air flow passes through the air outlet channel 12, it is introduced into the air flow circulation disc 8 instead of being directly discharged from the air outlet 15, and the air flow circulates in the air flow circulation disc 8, changes its original flow direction, and finally is discharged from the air outlet 15, forming the effect of bottom side air outlet.
[0189] The UV lamp structure is arranged in the air outlet channel 12, which increases the time of air irradiation by the UV lamp by delaying the air flow in the air flow circulation disc 8, thereby improving the sterilization and purification effect on the air.
[0190] The ozone generator is arranged in the air flow channel 11, which further purifies the air by generating ozone to remove odors and harmful gases.
[0191] Preferably, the bottom of the shell 1 is provided with casters 14 for easy movement.
[0192] Preferably, the bottom of the shell 1 is provided with a flip cover 16, which can be opened or closed on the shell 1 in a manual or automatic manner.
