Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular to a food waste disposer. Background Technology

[0002] In the past, food waste was often processed by shredding it with blades and then discharging it through the sewer. This method is not in line with environmental protection requirements and can cause problems such as odor and sewer blockage. In recent years, drying-type food waste disposers have become more and more widely used. These food waste disposers dry and dehydrate food waste, which can effectively reduce the volume of food waste and also has a good anti-corrosion and sterilization effect. It can be stored for a longer period of time, effectively reducing the frequency of garbage disposal. The processed food waste can also be used as fertilizer to grow flowers and plants, which is very popular among consumers.

[0003] A drying-type food waste disposer mainly consists of a drying chamber, a top cover, a fan, and a heating device. The drying chamber holds the food waste, the top cover seals the chamber, the fan blows air into the chamber, and the heating device heats the air, thus drying the food waste. Existing food waste disposers typically use top-mounted airflow. When there is a large amount of food waste, the top layer dries quickly; however, hot air has difficulty penetrating to the bottom, and hot air rises, making it difficult to dry the bottom layer. This prolongs drying time and increases energy consumption. Furthermore, this arrangement often requires the fan and heating device to be housed inside the top cover, increasing its thickness and weight, making opening and closing difficult, and increasing the risk of water seepage during cleaning, potentially causing short circuits. The power supply is also often located inside the main body, requiring an electrical connection between the top cover and the main body. Repeated opening and closing of the top cover can cause fatigue and breakage of this electrical connection, affecting the product's lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art and to provide a kitchen waste disposer with a more reasonable structural layout.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A food waste disposer includes:

[0007] The machine housing has a drying chamber inside, with an air inlet at the bottom and an air outlet at the top. The top of the drying chamber has a main opening, and the machine housing has an openable and closable main top cover for closing the main opening.

[0008] Both the air supply device and the heating device are located at the bottom of the casing;

[0009] The housing is provided with a main air supply channel and a return channel. The main air supply channel connects the air inlet to the air outlet of the air supply device. The heating device is located in the main air supply channel. The return channel connects the air outlet to the air inlet of the air supply device.

[0010] Preferably, the housing is provided with a secondary air supply channel, and the outer wall of the housing is provided with an exhaust port. The secondary air supply channel connects the exhaust port to the air inlet of the air supply device. The secondary air supply channel is provided with a deodorizing device. The return channel has a makeup air port that connects to the outside.

[0011] Preferably, the air supply volume of the air supply device to the main air supply channel is greater than the air supply volume to the auxiliary air supply channel.

[0012] Preferably, the main air supply channel is connected to the air supply end of the air supply device through a main air supply port, and the auxiliary air supply channel is connected to the air supply end of the air supply device through a secondary air supply port, wherein the main air supply port is larger than the secondary air supply port.

[0013] Preferably, the housing is provided with a deodorization chamber, the exhaust port and the auxiliary air supply channel are connected through the deodorization chamber, and the deodorization device is disposed in the deodorization chamber; the top of the deodorization chamber has an auxiliary opening through which the deodorization device can pass, and the housing is provided with an openable and closable auxiliary top cover for closing the auxiliary opening.

[0014] Preferably, the secondary top cover is located to the side of the main top cover, and the secondary top cover and the main top cover can be opened and closed independently.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom surface of the main top cover is provided with at least one energy storage tank with an opening facing downwards.

[0016] Preferably, there are multiple energy storage tanks that collectively cover the bottom surface of the main top cover.

[0017] Preferably, a filter cartridge communicating with the air inlet is provided below the drying chamber, the side wall of the filter cartridge is provided with filter holes communicating with the main air supply channel, and the bottom of the filter cartridge is provided with a water collection tank for accumulating water.

[0018] Preferably, the drying chamber is provided with a drying basket for containing kitchen waste, and the main opening allows the drying basket to pass through; the housing includes an inner housing, the drying chamber is disposed in the inner housing, and a flow cavity is formed by a distance between the outer side wall of the drying chamber and the inner side wall of the inner housing, and the air outlet is disposed on the side wall of the drying chamber and communicates with the flow cavity, the flow cavity being the return channel or a section of the return channel.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This food waste disposer places the air inlet at the bottom of the drying chamber and the air outlet at the top. The airflow from this air supply device is heated by the heating device in the main air supply channel to form hot air. This hot air then enters the drying chamber from bottom to top through the air inlet, meaning it is introduced from the bottom of the food waste inside the drying chamber. Taking advantage of the rising properties of hot air, the hot air can pass through the food waste, drying and dispersing it, allowing the food waste to fully absorb the heat of the hot air. Furthermore, residual hot air often remains after passing through the food waste and can be returned to the air supply. The airflow channel re-enters the air supply device to form a circulating air supply, which can make fuller use of the heat from the heating device, effectively improving drying efficiency and reducing energy consumption. This food waste disposer also places both the air supply device and the heating device at the bottom of the casing, which can be well adapted to the position of the air inlet, effectively simplifying the structure of the main air supply channel and the power supply structure. This helps to reduce the overall size of this food waste disposer. In addition, it can also effectively reduce the thickness and weight of the main top cover, making it easier to open and close the main top cover. The more reasonable structural layout can effectively shorten the drying time and reduce the cost of use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0032] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the directional or positional relationship based on the directional or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0034] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 9 ( Figures 4 to 7(The dotted line in the diagram represents the airflow direction during operation). In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a kitchen waste processor includes: a housing 10, a drying chamber 11 disposed inside the housing 10, an air inlet 111 disposed at the bottom of the drying chamber 11, an air outlet 112 disposed at the top, a main opening disposed at the top of the drying chamber 11, and an openable and closable main top cover 113 disposed on the housing 10 for closing the main opening; an air supply device 20 and a heating device 30, both disposed at the bottom of the housing 10; a main air supply channel 121 and a return channel 122 disposed inside the housing 10, the main air supply channel 121 connecting the air inlet 111 to the air outlet of the air supply device 20, the heating device 30 disposed inside the main air supply channel 121, and the return channel 122 connecting the air outlet 112 to the air inlet of the air supply device 20. This food waste disposer has its air inlet 111 located at the bottom of the drying chamber 11 and its air outlet 112 located at the top of the drying chamber 11. The airflow from the air supply device 20 is heated by the heating device 30 within the main air supply channel 121 to form hot air. This hot air then enters the drying chamber 11 from bottom to top through the air inlet 111, meaning it is introduced from the bottom of the food waste inside the drying chamber 11. Taking advantage of the rising properties of hot air, the hot air passes through the food waste, drying and dispersing it, allowing the food waste to fully absorb the heat. Furthermore, residual hot air often remains after passing through the food waste and can be returned through the return channel 122. The airflow is circulated through the air supply device 20, which makes fuller use of the heat from the heating device 30, effectively improving drying efficiency and reducing energy consumption. The air supply device 20 and the heating device 30 are both located at the bottom of the housing 10, which fits well with the position of the air inlet 111. This simplifies the structure of the main air supply channel 121 and the power supply structure, thereby reducing the overall size of the food waste processor. In addition, it also reduces the thickness and weight of the main top cover 113, making it easier to open and close. The more reasonable structural layout can effectively shorten the drying time and reduce the cost of use.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features:

[0037] In this embodiment, the air supply device 20 uses a fan, which has a simple and reliable structure, low size and low noise, helping to reduce the product size and facilitate installation and use. In other embodiments, the air supply device 20 may also use other commonly used air supply structures such as a blower, and is not limited to this. The heating device 30 may use commonly used heating structures such as heating wires and heating tubes, and those skilled in the art can flexibly choose according to their needs.

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 7In this embodiment, a secondary air supply channel 131 is provided inside the housing 10, and an exhaust port 132 is provided on the outer wall of the housing 10. The secondary air supply channel 131 connects the exhaust port 132 with the air inlet of the air supply device 20. A deodorization device (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the secondary air supply channel 131. The return channel 122 has a makeup air port 124 that communicates with the outside. During use, part of the air supplied by the air supply device 20 enters the drying chamber 11 through the main air supply channel 121, while the other part is discharged from the exhaust port through the auxiliary air supply channel 131. This allows the auxiliary air supply channel 131 to immediately discharge the water vapor generated during the drying process, which helps to improve drying efficiency. The deodorizing device in the auxiliary air supply channel 131 can deodorize the discharged air and prevent odors from spreading to the outside. Outside air can also enter the return channel 122 from the air supply port 124 and then replenish the air supply device 20, thereby balancing the internal air pressure and ensuring normal operation. Furthermore, this food waste disposer uses one air supply device 20 to supply air to both the main air supply channel 121 and the auxiliary air supply channel 131 simultaneously, which can further simplify the structure and reduce the product size.

[0039] The deodorization device can use common odor adsorption materials such as activated carbon, molecular sieve, silica gel, and activated alumina. Those skilled in the art can choose flexibly according to their needs. In addition, the deodorization device usually also has a water vapor adsorption function, which can absorb the water vapor generated during the drying process and reduce the water vapor discharged to the outside. Of course, in some embodiments, the deodorization device can also be selected to only have a deodorization function, and the water vapor generated during drying can be discharged to the outside through the exhaust port 132 or collected separately.

[0040] In this embodiment, the air supply device 20 supplies more air to the main air supply channel 121 than to the auxiliary air supply channel 131. This allows more air to enter the drying cycle while only a smaller amount is discharged to the outside, which helps improve waste heat recovery and utilization efficiency, thereby improving drying efficiency. In other embodiments, the air supply ratio between the main air supply channel 121 and the auxiliary air supply channel 131 can also be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs and application scenarios.

[0041] In this embodiment, the main air supply channel 121 is connected to the air supply end of the air supply device 20 through a main air supply port 123, and the auxiliary air supply channel 131 is connected to the air supply end of the air supply device 20 through a secondary air supply port 133. The main air supply port 123 is larger than the secondary air supply port 133, thereby making the air supply volume of the main air supply channel 121 greater than that of the auxiliary air supply channel 131. The structure is simple and convenient for processing, manufacturing and application. In other embodiments, two air supply ends of different sizes can be directly separated on the air supply device 20 to connect the main air supply channel 121 and the auxiliary air supply channel 131 respectively, thereby creating a difference in air supply volume. Alternatively, a filter screen or other structure can be installed at the inlet of the auxiliary air supply channel 131 to reduce the air supply volume of the auxiliary air supply channel 131 by utilizing its resistance to airflow. In addition, other commonly used air supply volume adjustment methods can be selected. Those skilled in the art can flexibly select and adjust based on these methods and are not limited to them.

[0042] In this embodiment, a deodorization chamber 14 is provided inside the housing 10. The exhaust port 132 and the auxiliary air supply channel 131 are connected through the deodorization chamber 14, and the deodorization device is installed inside the deodorization chamber 14. The top of the deodorization chamber 14 has an auxiliary opening through which the deodorization device can pass, and the housing 10 is provided with an openable and closable auxiliary top cover 141 for closing the auxiliary opening. This facilitates the replacement of the deodorization device and makes it convenient to use.

[0043] In this embodiment, the secondary top cover 141 is located to the side of the main top cover 113, and the secondary top cover 141 and the main top cover 113 can be opened and closed independently. Thus, when the main top cover 113 is opened to pour in and take out kitchen waste, the secondary top cover 141 can remain closed, and kitchen waste is not easy to enter the deodorization chamber 14, which can effectively reduce cross-contamination of odors and secondary pollution, and facilitate operation and use.

[0044] Reference Figures 2 to 5 In this embodiment, the top outer edge of the deodorization chamber 14 extends upward to form a fence 142. The fence 142 is higher than the main opening of the drying chamber 11, which can block kitchen waste, water and other substances from entering the deodorization chamber 14 and further prevent secondary pollution to the deodorization chamber 14 and the deodorization device. In addition, in this embodiment, the exhaust port 132 is set on the side wall of the fence 142, and the secondary top cover 141 is fastened to the top of the fence 142.

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 3In this embodiment, the rear end of the main top cover 113 is pivotally connected to the housing 10 and can be rotated and opened. An elastic device is provided between the main top cover 113 and the housing 10. The front end of the main top cover 113 is connected to the housing 10 via an unlockable locking device. Thus, after unlocking the locking device, the elastic device can drive the main top cover 113 to rotate and open automatically, facilitating operation. In this embodiment, the locking device is a button 114, which locks the main top cover 113 via a hook structure. The elastic device is a torsion spring. In other embodiments, the locking device can also use other commonly used locking structures such as a toggle switch or a pin structure, and the elastic device can also use other elastic structures such as a spring. These locking and elastic structures are widely used, and those skilled in the art can flexibly select them as needed; they will not be described in detail here.

[0046] In this embodiment, the side of the secondary top cover 141 facing the main top cover 113 is pivotally connected to the housing 10, while the side facing away from the main top cover 113 has a clearance groove 143 corresponding to the exhaust port 132. This clearance groove 143 also allows the user to grip and open the secondary top cover 141. Since the secondary top cover 141 is relatively narrow, this arrangement utilizes the longer side of the secondary top cover 141 for pivoting, which can effectively improve the stability of the secondary top cover 141 and prevent deformation and tilting during use, making it more reliable. In other embodiments, the opening and closing methods and structures of the main top cover 113 and the secondary top cover 141 can also be flexibly adjusted as needed.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The bottom surface of the main top cover 113 is provided with at least one downward-facing energy storage tank 115. After hot air passes through the kitchen waste in the drying chamber 11, it can first enter the energy storage tank 115 to form a vortex, thereby collecting and gathering the residual heat in the airflow. This increases the residence time of the hot airflow in the drying chamber 11, which helps to maintain the high temperature of the upper part of the drying chamber 11, thus accelerating the drying efficiency of kitchen waste and effectively reducing energy consumption. In this embodiment, there are multiple energy storage tanks 115 that together cover the bottom surface of the main top cover 113, which can maximize the residence time of the hot airflow, thereby better maintaining the high temperature of the drying chamber 11, which helps to further improve drying efficiency and reduce energy consumption. In this embodiment, two intersecting protruding ribs 116 are provided on the bottom surface of the main top cover 113. At the same time, the outer edge of the bottom surface of the main top cover 113 extends downward to cooperate with the two protruding ribs 116 to form four energy storage slots 115, which is convenient for processing. In other embodiments, the energy storage slots 115 can be any shape such as round, square, or rhomboid, and their number and distribution can also be flexibly adjusted as needed, and are not limited to this.

[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 9In this embodiment, a filter cylinder 15 communicating with an air inlet 111 is provided below the drying chamber 11. The side wall of the filter cylinder 15 is provided with filter holes 151 communicating with the main air supply channel 121. The bottom of the filter cylinder 15 is provided with a water collection tank 152 for collecting water. Thus, the water remaining in the kitchen waste in the drying chamber can be collected by the water collection tank 152 and will not enter the main air supply channel 121. As the kitchen waste is dried, it is dried by the hot air supplied by the main air supply channel 121. This can prevent the main air supply channel 121, the heating device 30 and the air supply device 20 from being contaminated and short-circuited, making it safer and more reliable.

[0049] In this embodiment, a drying basket 16 for holding kitchen waste is provided inside the drying chamber 11. The main opening allows the drying basket 16 to pass through, thus facilitating the loading and unloading of kitchen waste. In this embodiment, the bottom of the drying basket 16 is provided with sieve holes 161, which allow hot air and water to pass through while blocking kitchen waste from passing through. Furthermore, the part of the bottom of the drying basket 16 that is aligned with the air inlet 111 protrudes upwards, and some of the sieve holes 161 are arranged around the air inlet 111. In this way, even if some of the sieve holes 161 are blocked by kitchen waste, the air inlet 111 will not be blocked, and hot air can still enter the drying chamber 11 from the other air inlets 111 for drying, which is more reliable. In addition, multiple air guide plates 162 are provided at the bottom of the drying basket 16 corresponding to the air inlet 111, which can disperse and guide the hot air in various directions, making the drying of kitchen waste in the drying chamber 11 more uniform and efficient. In addition, in this embodiment, the hot air enters the air inlet 111 and the drying chamber 11 through the filter cylinder 15, and the hot air enters the filter cylinder 15 from one side filter hole 151. Since each filter hole 151 is distributed around the filter cylinder 15, in this embodiment, a baffle 153 is provided inside the filter cylinder 15 to block the hot air and prevent the hot air from passing directly out from the filter hole 151 on the other side.

[0050] In this embodiment, the housing 10 includes an inner housing 171, and a drying chamber 11 is disposed in the inner housing 171. A flow cavity is formed by a distance between the outer side wall of the drying chamber 11 and the inner side wall of the inner housing 171. An air outlet 112 is disposed on the side wall of the drying chamber 11 and communicates with the flow cavity. The flow cavity is a return channel 122 or a section of the return channel 122. The structure is simple, easy to process, manufacture and assemble, and helps to reduce the use of pipes, which can simplify the structure of this food waste processor and help to further reduce the product size. At the same time, in this embodiment, the side wall of the drying basket 16 is provided with a handle hole 163 corresponding to the air outlet 112. These handle holes 163 facilitate the user to grab and lift the drying basket 16, and also communicate with the air outlet 112, so that the airflow in the drying basket can enter the return channel 122 from the air outlet 112.

[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 7In this embodiment, the housing 10 further includes an outer shell 172, a first shell 173, and a second shell 174. The first shell 173, the second shell 174, and the inner shell 171 are assembled together and housed within the outer shell 172. The main air supply channel 121, the return channel 122, the auxiliary air supply channel 131, and the deodorization chamber 14 are all disposed on the first shell 173, the second shell 174, and the inner shell 171, or are disposed on or within the first shell 173, the second shell 174, and the inner shell 171. In this embodiment, the main air supply outlet 123, the auxiliary air supply outlet 133, the main air supply channel 121, the return channel 122, and the auxiliary air supply channel 131 are arranged on the first shell 173 and the second shell 174. The first shell 173, the second shell 174, the air supply device 20, and the heating device 30 are assembled together to form a hot air module. This modular design effectively simplifies the assembly structure and assembly process, facilitates processing and manufacturing, and helps reduce product size. In other embodiments, the main air supply channel 121, the return channel 122, and the auxiliary air supply channel 131 can also adopt pipe structures such as flexible hoses or rigid plastic pipes, and are not limited to these.

[0052] In this embodiment, a control panel 18 is provided on the top of the housing 10 for controlling various functions of the food waste processor. The control panel 18 and the corresponding control devices and control methods are well known to those skilled in the art, and those skilled in the art can flexibly select from the existing technology, which will not be described in detail here.

[0053] Without causing conflict, those skilled in the art can freely combine and use the above-mentioned additional technical features.

[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Any technical solution that achieves the purpose of the present utility model by essentially the same means shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
