Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of garbage disposal technology, specifically relating to a kitchen waste disposal unit with a water-receiving structure. Background Technology

[0002] A food waste disposer is a device used to process organic waste generated in the kitchen. It processes food waste through microbial decomposition, reducing the volume of the processed food waste, which can then be reused as organic fertilizer.

[0003] Since the growth and proliferation of microorganisms require suitable temperature and humidity conditions, the temperature range of microbial decomposition in related technologies is 45℃-70℃. When this type of food waste disposer is used in colder, higher latitude regions, such as South Korea and some European countries and regions, the water vapor produced by the microbial decomposition process will condense into water due to the large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the food waste disposer.

[0004] In the related technology, the water vapor obtained from the food waste disposer is directly emitted. When this water vapor encounters cold air, the condensate forms and drips directly onto the ground and accumulates there, which can easily lead to the growth of bacteria and make the ground slippery.

[0042] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0043] See Figures 1 to 7 This utility model discloses a kitchen waste disposer with a water-receiving structure, comprising: a bucket body 10, the inside of which has a waste processing chamber 20, a first vent hole 30 provided on the upper part of the bucket body 10, and a first exhaust channel 40 provided on the side of the bucket body 10, the first end of the first exhaust channel 40 being connected to the waste processing chamber 20 through the first vent hole 30; a base 50, which is disposed at the bottom of the bucket body 10, and includes a mounting member 501 and a water-receiving member 502, the water-receiving member 502 being provided with a water-receiving trough 503 for collecting condensate, the mounting member 501 covering the water-receiving trough 503 of the water-receiving member 502 to form a second exhaust channel 60; the second end of the first exhaust channel 40 being connected to the first end of the second exhaust channel 60, and the second end of the second exhaust channel 60 being connected to the outside of the bucket body 10.

[0044] The water vapor generated in the waste treatment chamber 20 of this utility model is discharged to the outside of the barrel 10 through the first exhaust channel 40 and the second exhaust channel 60. The condensed water obtained by the water vapor in the first exhaust channel 40 and the second exhaust channel 60 is retained in the water receiving tank 503 of the water receiving component 502 to prevent the condensed water from dripping onto the ground.

[0045] It should be noted that the first exhaust channel 40 and the second exhaust channel 60 provided in this utility model enable the food waste disposer with water-receiving structure to have a sufficiently long exhaust channel. The water vapor generated by the microbial decomposition method can be fully condensed during the flow of the first exhaust channel 40 and the second exhaust channel 60. As a result, the gas discharged from the food waste disposer with water-receiving structure to the outside of the bucket 10 will not produce condensate, or will produce very little condensate.

[0046] In this embodiment of the present invention, the second exhaust channel 60 includes a first exhaust section 601, a second exhaust section 602, and a third exhaust section 603 connected in sequence. The first exhaust section 601 and the second exhaust section 602 are both arranged in the transverse direction, and the third exhaust section 603 is arranged in the longitudinal direction, so that the first exhaust section 601 and the second exhaust section 602 form a water receiving section. The first exhaust section 601 is connected to the first exhaust channel 40, and a second vent hole 504 is provided on the base 50. The third exhaust section 603 is connected to the outside of the barrel 10 through the second vent hole 504.

[0047] For example, see Figures 3 to 7 Since both the first exhaust section 601 and the second exhaust section 602 are arranged in the horizontal direction, for example, along the horizontal direction of the barrel 10, the thickness of the base 50 is reduced, and the base 50 can be made flatter.

[0048] Since the first vent 30 is located at the top of the barrel 10 and the base 50 is located at the bottom of the barrel 10, the first exhaust channel 40 is located at the top of the second exhaust channel 60. The water vapor generated in the garbage disposal chamber 20 and the condensate generated in the first exhaust channel 40 will flow along the first exhaust channel 40 into the water receiving tank 503 in the second exhaust channel 60 under the action of gravity.

[0049] In this embodiment of the present invention, the third exhaust section 603 is a U-shaped bend structure. The first end of the third exhaust section 603 has a first interface 6031, and the second end of the third exhaust section 603 has a second interface 6032. Both the first interface 6031 and the second interface 6032 are located at the lower part of the third exhaust section 603. The third exhaust section 603 is connected to the second exhaust section 602 through the first interface 6031, and the third exhaust section 603 is connected to the second vent 504 through the second interface 6032.

[0050] For example, see Figures 3 to 7 The third exhaust section 603 is arranged along the longitudinal direction, for example, along the height direction of the barrel 10. The third exhaust section 603 has a U-shaped bend structure, and the first interface 6031 and the second interface 6032 are both located at the lower part of the third exhaust section 603. Thus, the middle part of the third exhaust section 603 is higher than the first interface 6031 and the second interface 6032 of the third exhaust section 603. The highest point of the third exhaust section 603 is higher than the liquid level when the water tank has the maximum water storage capacity. Thus, a certain amount of condensate generated by the water vapor in the garbage disposal chamber 20 in the first exhaust channel 40 can be retained in the water receiving section.

[0051] In other words, when the liquid level of the condensate in the water receiving tank 503 is lower than the highest position of the third exhaust section 603, the condensate in the water receiving section will not overflow from the third exhaust section 603 to the outside of the tank 10, so the user only needs to clean the water receiving part 502 regularly.

[0052] Furthermore, the second interface 6032 is located at the lower part of the third exhaust section 603, thereby enabling downward exhaust and avoiding the inconvenience caused to the user by upward exhaust.

[0053] In this embodiment of the invention, the connection position of the second exhaust section 602 and the third exhaust section 603 forms a bending angle α, and the value of α ranges from 60° to 120°.

[0054] It should be noted that the larger the value of the bending angle α, the smoother the venting, but the easier it is for the condensate in the water receiving section formed by the first venting section 601 and the second venting section 602 to overflow from the third venting section 603 to the outside of the barrel 10; conversely, the smaller the value of the bending angle α, the greater the obstruction to venting, but the more difficult it is for the condensate in the water receiving section formed by the first venting section 601 and the second venting section 602 to overflow from the third venting section 603 to the outside of the barrel 10.

[0055] For example, see Figure 7 With a=90°, the third exhaust section can achieve relatively smooth exhaust, while the water receiving section formed by the first exhaust section 601 and the second exhaust section 602 can retain condensate well.

[0056] In this embodiment of the invention, the first exhaust section 601 is an arc-shaped structure, and the second exhaust section 602 is a U-shaped structure or a spiral structure.

[0057] For example, see Figure 6 The first exhaust section 601 serves to connect the first exhaust passage 40 and the second exhaust passage 60. The first exhaust section 601 introduces water vapor from the first exhaust passage 40 into the second exhaust passage 60. Since the first exhaust section 601 has an arc-shaped structure, it facilitates gas flow and reduces gas flow obstruction.

[0058] Furthermore, since the second exhaust section 602 has a U-shaped or spiral structure, the length of the gas passage is extended within a limited space, which increases the degree of condensation of water vapor generated in the waste treatment chamber 20 in the second exhaust passage 60, and makes the design of the base 50 more reasonable and compact.

[0059] In this embodiment of the utility model, the kitchen waste disposer with a water-receiving structure further includes a suction structure 70, which is disposed at the communication position between the first exhaust channel 40 and the second exhaust channel 60.

[0060] It should be noted that the suction structure 70 generates suction when working, which can promptly draw the water vapor generated in the waste processing chamber 20 from the first vent 30 and the first exhaust channel 40 into the second exhaust channel 60 for condensation. This reduces the problem of condensate flowing back into the organic fertilizer caused by the condensation of water vapor generated in the waste processing chamber 20. As a result, the organic fertilizer obtained by the kitchen waste processor with the water collection structure has a lower water content.

[0061] In this embodiment of the utility model, the suction structure 70 is a centrifugal fan. The air inlet 701 of the suction structure 70 faces the first exhaust channel 40, and the air outlet 702 of the suction structure 70 faces the second exhaust channel 60. The swirling direction of the suction structure 70 is clockwise, and the water receiving section extends in a clockwise direction.

[0062] For example, see Figure 3 Since the swirling direction of the suction structure 70 and the extension direction of the water receiving section are both clockwise, the water receiving section extends in the same direction to follow the gas flow trajectory. The water receiving section can better receive the gas discharged from the suction structure 70, which can reduce local eddy current loss and reduce the formation of exhaust obstruction.

[0063] Of course, in other embodiments, the swirling direction of the suction structure 70 is counterclockwise, and the water receiving section extends in a counterclockwise direction.

[0064] It should be noted that the swirling direction of the suction structure 70 and the setting direction of the water receiving section are determined according to the actual application scenario and are not limited thereto.

[0065] In this embodiment of the utility model, the mounting member 501 is disposed on the upper part of the water receiving member 502, and the mounting member 501 and the water receiving member 502 are detachably connected; the mounting member 501 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​part 505, and the water receiving member 502 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​part 506, and the first snap-fit ​​part 505 and the second snap-fit ​​part 506 are snapped together.

[0066] For example, see Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 The mounting component 501 is connected and fixed to the barrel body 10 by welding or by screws.

[0067] The first snap-fit ​​portion 505 is provided on the lower surface of the mounting member 501; the second snap-fit ​​portion 506 is provided on the upper surface of the water receiving member 502, and the second snap-fit ​​portion 506 is provided along the edge of the water receiving groove 503.

[0068] When the mounting part 501 is engaged with the water receiving part 502, the first locking part 505 and the second locking part 506 are aligned and engaged to achieve a detachable connection between the mounting part 501 and the water receiving part 502. At this time, when it is necessary to clean the water receiving part 502, it is only necessary to pull the water receiving part 502 downward to separate the water receiving part 502 from the mounting part 501.

[0069] Furthermore, in order to achieve stable connection between the mounting part 501 and the water receiving part 502, after the first snap-fit ​​part 505 and the second snap-fit ​​part 506 are snapped together, the mounting part 501 and the water receiving part 502 can be locked with screws; at this time, when it is necessary to clean the water receiving part 502, the screws need to be loosened first, and the water receiving part 502 can be removed downwards to separate the water receiving part 502 from the mounting part 501.

[0070] In this embodiment of the invention, the first exhaust channel 40 extends along the longitudinal direction.

[0071] For example, see Figure 3 The first exhaust channel 40 is located on the rear side of the barrel 10 and is straight, which facilitates the passage of water vapor generated in the garbage disposal chamber 20 through the first exhaust channel 40. It also facilitates the entry of condensate generated by the water vapor in the garbage disposal chamber 20 into the second exhaust channel 60, thus preventing condensate from remaining inside the first exhaust channel 40.

[0072] Of course, in other embodiments, the first exhaust channel 40 may also be located on the left side or the right side of the barrel 10. The specific location of the first exhaust channel 40 on which side of the barrel 10 is located depends on the actual application scenario and is not limited.

[0073] In this embodiment of the utility model, the kitchen waste disposer with a water receiving structure further includes a filter structure 80, which includes a first filter element 801 and a first filter element 801 is provided at the position of the first vent 30.

[0074] In this embodiment of the present invention, the filter structure 80 further includes a second filter element 802, which is disposed near the second end of the first exhaust channel 40.

[0075] It should be noted that both the first filter element 801 and the second filter element 802 include activated carbon to remove the odor from the water vapor generated in the waste treatment chamber 20.

[0076] It should be noted that the food waste disposer with water receiving structure also includes a cover 90, which is located at the opening of the bin 10 and is movably connected to the bin 10 by a hinge or a snap fastener.

[0077] For example, the exhaust direction of this food waste disposer with a water-receiving structure is as follows:

[0078] 1. See reference Figure 3 Water vapor generated in the waste treatment chamber 20 enters the second exhaust channel 60 through the first vent 30, the first filter element 801, the first exhaust channel 40, the second filter element 802, and the suction structure 70.

[0079] 2. See reference Figure 4 The water vapor generated in the waste treatment chamber 20 is condensed through the first exhaust section 601 and the second exhaust section 602, and the condensate is retained in the water receiving tank 503. The remaining gas is discharged to the outside of the barrel 10 through the third exhaust section 603 and the second vent 504.

[0080] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
