Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen waste treatment, specifically to a kitchen waste processor. Background Technology
[0002] When the garbage bin of the existing food waste disposer is installed into the storage chamber, the position of the garbage bin needs to be manually adjusted so that the one-way valve corresponds to the drive component. Furthermore, due to the height of the main shaft, the distance between the garbage bin and the bottom of the storage chamber is increased, making it difficult to align the one-way valve with the drive component. This causes great inconvenience to users in daily use. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a food waste disposer that allows users to easily align the one-way valve with the drive assembly.
[0004] The above objectives are achieved in this way.
[0005] A food waste disposer includes a main unit and a waste disposal bin. The main unit contains a storage cavity and a main shaft. The waste disposal bin contains a grinding blade. When the waste disposal bin is placed in the storage cavity, the grinding blade is drive-connected to the main shaft. The bottom surface of the waste disposal bin has a waste outlet. A one-way valve protrudes outward from the outer side of the waste outlet. The one-way valve includes an upper coupling. The main unit contains a drive assembly for controlling the opening and closing of the one-way valve. The drive assembly includes a drive motor, a lower coupling, and a coupling spring. The coupling spring passes through the drive shaft of the drive motor. The lower coupling is connected to the drive motor. The coupling spring passes through the lower coupling body. When the garbage disposal bin is installed in the storage cavity, the grinding blade is aligned with the main shaft, the garbage disposal bin is limited, and the lower coupling is pressed downward by the garbage disposal bin. The coupling spring is compressed, and then the drive motor rotates, and the lower coupling rotates together. During the rotation, after the lower coupling is aligned with the upper coupling, the lower coupling automatically engages with the upper coupling under the elastic force of the coupling spring.
[0006] The objective of this utility model can also be optimized by the following technical measures.
[0007] Preferably, the bottom surface of the waste disposal bin has a raised step around the waste outlet.
[0008] Preferably, the one-way valve further includes a sealing ring, a movable part, and a pressure plate. The upper coupling is located on one side of the movable part, the sealing ring is located on the top surface of the movable part, and the pressure plate and the step close to form a valve body cavity. The pressure plate is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole. The upper coupling passes downward through the first through hole, and the second through hole corresponds to the waste outlet. When the movable part is driven to swing back and forth by the upper coupling, the second through hole and the waste outlet are staggered for sealing and the waste is allowed to pass through.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model, through the limiting effect of the main shaft, makes the one-way valve and the drive component more similar in position after the garbage disposal bin is installed into the storage chamber, and by setting a coupling spring on the lower coupling, the alignment of the upper coupling and the lower coupling is made easier.

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0017] Combination Figure 1 A food waste disposer includes a main unit 1 and a waste disposal bin 2. The main unit 1 has a storage cavity 10 and a main shaft 3. The waste disposal bin 2 has a grinding blade inside. When the waste disposal bin 2 is placed in the storage cavity 10, the grinding blade is connected to the main shaft 3. The bottom surface of the waste disposal bin 2 has a waste outlet 20. The outer bottom surface of the waste disposal bin 2 has a stepped ring 24 protruding around the waste outlet 20. A one-way valve is installed in the stepped ring 24. The one-way valve is located at the waste outlet 20. The one-way valve includes an upper coupling 221. The system comprises a sealing ring 21, a movable part 22, and a pressure plate 23. The upper coupling 221 is located on one side of the movable part 22. The sealing ring 21 is located in a groove 222 on the top surface of the movable part 22. The pressure plate 23 and the step 24 close to form a valve body cavity. The movable part 22 and the sealing ring 21 are located within the valve body cavity. The pressure plate 23 has a first through hole 230 and a second through hole 231. The upper coupling 221 passes downward through the first through hole 230 and extends outward. The size and position of the second through hole 231 correspond to the waste outlet 20. Figure 4 and Figure 5The movable component 22 has a first position and a second position in the valve body cavity. The first position is to seal the second through hole 231, and the second position is to open the second through hole 231. The movable component 22 is driven by the driving component to switch between the first position and the second position, so as to realize that the second through hole 231 and the garbage outlet 20 are staggered and sealed and the garbage is discharged through.
[0018] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The main unit 1 is equipped with a drive assembly for controlling the opening and closing of a one-way valve. The drive assembly includes a drive motor 15, a lower coupling 12, a coupling spring 13, a coupling pressure member 11, and a motor bracket 14. The lower coupling 13 is disposed within the coupling pressure member 11, and its connector extends from a through hole in the coupling pressure member 11. The coupling spring 13 passes through the drive shaft of the drive motor 15. The lower coupling 12 is connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor 15. The coupling spring 13 passes into the lower coupling 12, providing support for it. The drive motor 15 is mounted on the motor bracket 14. When the waste disposal bin 2 is installed in the storage chamber 10, the grinding blade and the main shaft 3 interact... With proper alignment, the position of the waste disposal bin 2 is limited, and it can only be installed in the storage chamber 10 in the correct position. At this time, the position of the one-way valve corresponds to the position of the drive component. Simultaneously, the lower coupling 12 is compressed downward by the waste disposal bin 2, and the coupling spring 13 moves downward. Then, the drive motor 15 rotates, and the lower coupling 12 rotates together. During the rotation, after the lower coupling 12 aligns with the upper coupling 221, it automatically engages with the upper coupling 221 under the elastic force of the coupling spring 13. After successful engagement, the drive component controls the movable part 22 to switch between the first position and the second position, so that the second through hole 231 and the waste outlet 20 can be staggered and sealed, and the waste can be discharged through.
