[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Example: Reference Figure 1-6 The illustrated food waste disposal machine includes a main body 1, a disposal hopper 2, a hoist 3, and a water tank 4. The disposal hopper 2 for disposing of food waste is located on the top surface of the main body 1, and the hoist 3 is located on the outer wall of the main body 1. The hoist 3 can lift and lower the food waste bin. The water tank 4 is located next to the disposal hopper 2, and two sets of symmetrical upright plates 5 are located between the water tank 4 and the disposal hopper 2. A lifting mechanism is located between the upright plates 5. The lifting mechanism can drive the rotating mechanism to lift to a suitable height, and then the rotating mechanism drives the extension mechanism to rotate at a suitable angle. After the angle is suitable, the extension mechanism works and extends into the food waste bin for cleaning. The water required by the extension mechanism is supplied by a water pump in the water tank 4.
[0023] As one embodiment of this invention, the lifting mechanism consists of a set of fixed plates 9 on the outer wall of the feeding hopper 2, and a lifting motor 7 on the top surface of the processor body 1. A coaxial lifting rod 10 is mounted on the drive shaft of the lifting motor 7. The lifting rod 10 is connected to the fixed plates 9 and is a threaded rod. A set of lifting plates 8 are threaded onto the lifting rod 10. One end of the outer wall of the lifting plate 8 is in contact with the feeding hopper 2, and a set of base plates 11 is fixed to the other end of the outer wall of the lifting plate 8 by bolts. The base plates 11 have a U-shaped structure, and two sets of symmetrical support plates 12 are mounted on the top surface of the base plates 11. A rotating mechanism is mounted on the top of the support plates 12 to control the operating angle of the extension mechanism.
[0024] As one implementation method in this embodiment, in order to improve the stability during the lifting process, a rectangular slide groove 50 is provided on the opposite side of the upright plate 5, and the end of the base plate 11 is slidably connected in the slide groove 50. Two sets of symmetrical holes are provided on the base plate 11 (the holes are located in the slide groove 50). The positioning rod 6 provided in the slide groove 50 is adapted to the hole, thereby improving the stability during lifting. In order to further improve the stability, a spring can be fitted on the positioning rod 6.
[0025] As one embodiment of this invention, the rotating mechanism is as follows: In order to allow for a certain angle of oscillation, a set of rotary motors 19 are provided on the outer wall of the support plate 12. The two sets of support plates 12 are connected by a set of rotating parts 13. The drive shaft of the rotary motors 19 is connected to the rotating parts 13, thereby controlling the rotation angle of the rotating parts 13 on the support plate 12. A set of through holes 130 are provided on the rotating parts 13. The aforementioned extension mechanism is installed in the through holes 130. A through groove 131 communicating with the outside is provided on the inner wall of the through holes 130. Two sets of symmetrical extension plates 14 are provided on the outer wall of the rotating parts 13.
[0026] As one embodiment of this invention, the extension mechanism has a C-shaped cross-section for the sleeve 15, which is installed inside the perforation 130. A rack 18 is provided on the outer wall of the sleeve 15. An extension gear 20 is rotatably connected to the extension plate 14. The extension gear 20 is driven by the extension motor 21 installed on the rotating component 13. When the extension gear 20 rotates, it engages with the rack 18 on the outer wall of the water pipe 16, causing the rack 18 to slide in the perforation 131 and the water pipe 16 to slide in the sleeve 15. This allows the rotating nozzle 17, which is rotatably connected at the end, to be inserted into the food waste bin. Then, the water pump is started to send water through the water pipe 16 to the rotating nozzle 17, achieving a rotating spray to clean the inside of the food waste bin.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: By placing the food waste bin next to the elevator 3, the elevator 3 is then started. The elevator 3 moves the food waste bin upward and eventually flips it over, causing the food waste inside the bin to be poured into the collection hopper 2. The food waste then enters the processing machine body 1 and is processed.
[0028] To prevent food waste from accumulating inside the bin and affecting subsequent cleaning, the lifting motor 7 is activated. The drive shaft of the lifting motor 7 rotates the lifting rod 10 on the fixed plate 9. With the limit of the vertical plate 5 limiting the bottom plate 11, the lifting plate 8 moves the bottom plate 11 up and down, which in turn moves the support plate 12 up and down (during the lifting of the bottom plate 11, the positioning rod 6 in the slide 50 provides stability to the bottom plate 11). This pushes the rotating component 13 upwards. After the support plate 12 reaches the appropriate height, the rotary motor 19 installed on the support plate 12 is activated, causing the rotary motor 19 to move the rotating component 13 upwards. The system flips between the two sets of support plates 12 and drives the sleeve 15 to flip synchronously through the perforation 130. After the sleeve 15 is flipped at an angle, the extension motor 21 on the extension plate 14 is started. The extension motor 21 drives the extension gear 20 to rotate through the drive shaft. The rotating extension gear 20 meshes with the rack 18 on the water pipe 16, thereby driving the water pipe 16 to slide inside the sleeve 15. Then, the water pump in the water tank 4 is started. The water pump is connected to the water pipe 16 and sends the liquid to the rotating nozzle 17, causing the rotating nozzle 17 to rotate and spray water to clean the inside of the food waste bin and prevent residue.

Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
