[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2According to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention, a stirring mechanism includes a container 100 with a cavity capable of holding kitchen waste. A blade 102 and a stirrer 110 are disposed within the cavity, with the stirrer 110 pivotally connected to the center of the bottom of the cavity. The blade 102 is fixed to the inner peripheral wall of the container 100, and the portion of the blade 102 that contacts the kitchen waste extends from the inner peripheral wall of the container 100 toward the stirrer 110. It is understood that the stirrer 110 has a first stirring arm 111, a second stirring arm 112, and a third stirring arm 113 at different heights, i.e., the first stirring arm 111, the second stirring arm 112, and the third stirring arm 113 are spaced apart along the rotation axis of the stirrer 110. The first stirring arm 111 is located at the bottom, the blade 102 is located between the first stirring arm 111 and the second stirring arm 112, and the second stirring arm 112 is located between the first stirring arm 111 and the third stirring arm 113. Furthermore, the first stirring arm 111, the second stirring arm 112, and the third stirring arm 113 are distributed circumferentially around the mixer 110, thereby enabling the food waste to tumble during the stirring process. This allows for stirring and mixing of food waste at different heights, increasing the contact probability between the blade 102 and the food waste, thus improving the efficiency of stirring and pulverizing. Simultaneously, the first stirring arm 111, the second stirring arm 112, and the third stirring arm 113 extend outward along an arc from the rotation axis of the mixer 110, effectively reducing stirring resistance and helping to reduce energy consumption while preventing entanglement and blockage. In this embodiment, at least two first stirring arms 111 are provided to prevent food waste from remaining at the bottom of the container 100 during stirring, while one second stirring arm 112 and one third stirring arm 113 are each provided.

[0035] In other embodiments, at least four stirring arms located at different heights are provided, and the multiple stirring arms are evenly distributed around the rotation axis of the stirrer 110, which can increase the stirring efficiency. Simultaneously, one or more stirring arms are arranged circumferentially around the stirrer 110 at the same height. Furthermore, blades 102 are provided between two adjacent stirring arms at different heights along the rotation axis of the stirrer 110, which helps to improve the pulverization efficiency of kitchen waste.

[0036] Furthermore, referring to Figure 4 The first stirring arm 111, the second stirring arm 112, and the third stirring arm 113, which are bent, have a convex side 118 and a concave side 119. In this embodiment, when the stirrer 110 rotates, the convex side 118 faces the rotation direction of the stirrer 110. In other embodiments, the concave side 119 faces the rotation direction of the stirrer 110.

[0037] Understandably, the inner circumferential wall of the container 100 is provided with multiple baffles 107, which extend vertically. The baffles can increase the resistance to movement of kitchen waste during the mixing process, thereby helping to improve the mixing degree of different materials and thus improving the mixing efficiency.

[0038] It is understood that the blade 102 has outwardly protruding teeth 106 on both sides, which can increase the cutting efficiency of food waste. It is also understood that the blade 102 has a first cutting section 103 and a second cutting section 104 at different heights, with the first cutting section 103 higher than the second cutting section 104. During stirring, these sections can contact food waste at different heights, thereby increasing the contact area and improving the efficiency of stirring and pulverizing. Furthermore, a connecting section 105 links the first cutting section 103 and the second cutting section 104, and the connecting section 105 is inclined. Both the first cutting section 103 and the second cutting section 104 extend horizontally. In other embodiments, the first cutting section 103 and the second cutting section 104 extend from the inner peripheral wall of the container 100 towards the rotation axis of the stirrer 110 in a direction inclined to the horizontal plane. This facilitates increasing the contact range with food waste along the height direction, thereby improving the efficiency of pulverizing food waste.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 It is understood that the end of the first stirring arm 111 away from the rotation axis of the stirrer 110 has a first protrusion 114 extending towards the first cutting part 103. That is, the first protrusion 114 protrudes upward and approaches the first cutting part 103, which can increase the contact area between the first stirring arm 111 and the kitchen waste in the height direction, and reduce the gap size between the first stirring arm 111 and the first cutting part 103 in the height direction, preventing the kitchen waste from falling out of the gap, thereby improving the stirring efficiency and increasing the probability of the kitchen waste contacting the blade 102, thereby improving the crushing efficiency.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 It is understood that the second stirring arm 112 is located above the blade 102. The second stirring arm 112 has a base section 116 and a clearance section 117. The base section 116 is close to the rotation axis of the stirrer 110, and the clearance section 117 is higher than the base section 116 and located above the first cutting section 103. It is understood that by setting the clearance section 117, which is higher than the base section 116, the second stirring arm 112 can adapt to the shape of the blade 102, preventing kitchen waste from falling out of the gap between the second stirring arm 112 and the blade 102 during the stirring process, thereby improving the stirring effectiveness, increasing the probability of contact between kitchen waste and the blade 102, and achieving the effect of improving the crushing efficiency.

[0041] Understandably, the third stirring arm 113 is located on the side of the second stirring arm 112 away from the first stirring arm 111. The end of the third stirring arm 113 away from the rotation axis of the stirrer 110 is provided with an upwardly protruding second protrusion 115. The second protrusion 115 can increase the height of the stirrer 110 inside the container 100, thereby increasing the contact area with kitchen waste and improving the stirring efficiency and crushing efficiency.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 It is understood that the system also includes a power unit 120 and a chassis 121. The container 100 is mounted on the chassis 121. The power unit 120 includes a motor 125 and a first transmission component 122. The motor 125 is mounted on the bottom of the chassis 121, and the first transmission component 122 is pivotally connected to the chassis 121. The motor 125 can drive the first transmission component 122 to rotate. It is understood that the outer periphery of the first transmission component 122 has multiple spaced transmission teeth 123. Simultaneously, the bottom of the container 100 has a pivotally connected second transmission component 109, the outer periphery of which also has multiple spaced transmission teeth 123. Therefore, the first transmission component 122 and the second transmission component 109 can mesh with each other, thereby achieving power transmission. Furthermore, the first transmission component 122 and the second transmission component 109 are inserted and meshed along the rotation axis of the stirrer 110, facilitating quick connection of the first transmission component 122 and the second transmission component 109 when assembling and disassembling the container 100, thus improving operational convenience. Furthermore, the second transmission component 109 is connected to the stirrer 110 via a rotating shaft 108, which is pivotally connected to the bottom of the container 100, thereby enabling the motor 125 to transmit power to the stirrer 110.

[0043] According to an embodiment of the second aspect of this utility model, a food waste disposer is provided, including the aforementioned stirring mechanism. It is understood that the food waste disposer incorporates all the technical features of a stirring mechanism, and therefore, the food waste disposer at least includes all the beneficial effects of a stirring mechanism.

[0044] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
