[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the directional terms such as "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", and "counterclockwise" are based on the orientation 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. They should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of this utility model.

[0027] It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" in the specification and claims of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0028] Food waste disposers in related technologies typically use whole-machine weighing to determine the weight of the waste in the bin. However, the inventors discovered that during the operation of the food waste disposer, the filter element absorbs and accumulates a certain amount of water, and the weight of this water is also included in the total weight, thus affecting the accuracy of waste weight monitoring.

[0029] To address, or at least partially mitigate, the problem of the impact of moisture weight in the filter cartridge on the accuracy of waste weight monitoring, this invention provides a food waste disposer 1, such as... Figures 1-9 As shown. The food waste disposer includes: a base 10, a food waste bin 70, a support 20, and a weighing component 30. Specifically, the food waste bin 70 is used to hold waste; the support 20 is vertically movably connected to the base 10; the support 20 is adapted to mount the food waste bin 70; the weighing component 30 is installed between the base 10 and the support 20, and the weighing component 30 can bear and measure the weight of the support 20 and the food waste bin 70.

[0030] It is understandable that since the mass of the support 20 and the food waste bin 70 does not change during the operation of the food waste disposer 1, tare compensation is easily performed. This allows the weighing component 30 to more accurately monitor the weight changes of the waste inside the food waste bin 70, improving the accuracy of waste weight monitoring. In other words, by tare compensation of the mass of the support 20 and the food waste bin 70—that is, by "tareing"—the net weight of the waste can be obtained, thus improving the accuracy of waste weight monitoring.

[0031] If only the change in the weight of the waste is monitored, tare compensation can be ignored. This is because the mass of the support 20 and the food waste bin 70 does not change during the operation of the food waste disposer 1, and the weight change monitored by the weighing component 30 is the change in the weight of the waste.

[0032] It is worth mentioning that improving the accuracy of waste weight monitoring allows the food waste disposer 1 to more precisely adjust operating parameters, such as stirring speed, processing time, and drying temperature, which helps avoid energy waste and improves processing efficiency. Furthermore, based on changes in waste weight, the food waste disposer 1 can more reliably predict the lifespan of filter element 83 and remind users to clean or replace parts, thereby improving the reliability of the food waste disposer 1 and extending its service life.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the food waste disposer 1 also includes a housing 90, which is fixed to the base 10. A receiving space 91 is formed between the housing 90 and the base 10, which can accommodate the support 20 and the weighing component 30, as well as other devices such as the drive component 82, the heating component 81, and the main controller. Furthermore, the housing 90 has a filter element mounting cavity 92 and a food waste bin mounting cavity 93. The filter element mounting cavity 92 can hold the filter element 83, allowing the housing 90 to bear the weight of the filter element 83. In other words, the weight of the filter element 83 is borne by the housing 90, which is fixed to the base 10, directly transferring the weight of the filter element 83 to the base 10. This helps to prevent the weight of the filter element 83 and the moisture inside it from being applied to the support 20, improving the accuracy of the food waste disposer 1 in monitoring the weight of the waste. Even further, the food waste bin mounting cavity 93 is adapted to accommodate the food waste bin 70, which extends vertically through the housing 90, allowing the food waste bin 70 to be fixedly mounted on the support 20. In other words, the bracket 20 is located below the food waste bin mounting cavity 93, and the food waste bin 70 is adapted to move along the food waste bin mounting cavity 93 so as to place the food waste bin 70 on the support portion 21 of the bracket 20 or remove it from the food waste machine 1.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the food waste disposer 1 also includes a heating element 81 and a drive assembly 82. The heating element 81 is fixed to the bracket 20 and can heat the food waste bin 70. The drive assembly 82 is fixed to the bracket 20 and can drive the blades of the food waste disposer 1 to rotate. The weighing assembly 30 can support the weight of the bracket 20, the heating element 81, the drive assembly 82 and the food waste bin 70.

[0035] It should be understood that both the heating element 81 and the drive assembly 82 are fixed to the bracket 20, which allows for a more compact internal structure of the food waste disposer 1 and helps to reduce the overall size of the food waste disposer 1. In addition, the heating element 81 and the drive assembly 82 can be installed and adapted to the bracket 20, which helps to reduce the design difficulty of the food waste disposer 1 and reduce the assembly difficulty of the food waste disposer 1.

[0036] It is worth mentioning that since the mass of the heating element 81 and the drive assembly 82 does not change during the operation of the food waste disposer 1, tare compensation is easily performed. This allows the weighing assembly 30 to more accurately monitor the weight changes of the waste in the food waste bin 70, improving the accuracy of waste weight monitoring. In other words, by tare compensation of the mass of the heating element 81 and the drive assembly 82—that is, by "tareing"—the net weight of the waste can be obtained, thus improving the accuracy of waste weight monitoring.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the weighing assembly 30 includes a rod-shaped force-measuring beam 31. One end of the force-measuring beam 31 is fixedly connected to the base 10, and the other end is fixedly connected to the bracket 20. The weighing assembly 30 can calculate the weight by measuring the deformation of the force-measuring beam 31. It should be understood that the small size of the force-measuring beam 31 helps to reduce the space occupied by the weighing assembly 30 in the food waste disposer 1, thereby reducing the overall size of the food waste disposer 1 and allowing other components in the food waste disposer 1 to be arranged more flexibly.

[0038] Furthermore, the weighing assembly 30 also includes strain gauges attached to the deformed portion of the force-measuring beam 31. The resistance value of the strain gauges changes synchronously with the deformation of the force-measuring beam 31, such as tension or compression, to convert mechanical deformation into an electrical signal. In at least one embodiment, several strain gauges form a Wheatstone bridge circuit to improve measurement sensitivity and automatically compensate for errors caused by temperature changes, thereby reducing the impact of temperature changes on weight monitoring during the operation of the food waste disposer 1 and improving the accuracy of waste weight monitoring. It should be understood that the strain gauges are connected to the main controller of the food waste disposer 1 via circuitry, and the main controller then converts the electrical signals into the corresponding weight.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the food waste disposer 1 also includes a support member 40, which is fixed to the bottom wall of the base 10. One end of the force-measuring beam 31 is fixedly connected to the support member 40, and the other end of the force-measuring beam 31 is fixedly connected to the bracket 20. It should be understood that the base 10 of the food waste disposer 1 is typically made of plastic and has low strength. Especially when the weight of the bracket 20, the food waste bin 70, and the waste is applied to the base 10 via the force-measuring beam 31, the contact area between the rod-shaped force-measuring beam 31 and the base 10 is small, resulting in excessive pressure on the base 10 and potential deformation. This will affect the measurement results of the weighing component 30. In this embodiment, connecting the force-measuring beam 31 with the support member 40, which has higher rigidity, helps to avoid deformation of the support member 40, reduces the impact on the measurement results of the weighing component 30, and thus improves the accuracy of waste weight monitoring.

[0040] In at least one instance, the support member 40 is implemented as a channel steel, the extension direction of which is perpendicular to the extension direction of the force measuring beam 31. This helps to prevent the channel steel from interfering with the deformation of the force measuring beam 31. In addition, it can increase the contact area between the channel steel and the base 10, thereby reducing the deformation of the base 10 and further improving the accuracy of waste weight monitoring.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, the bracket 20 includes a support portion 21 and a mounting portion 24. The support portion 21 supports and fixes the food waste bin 70, and the mounting portion 24 is connected to the support portion 21 and extends from the support portion 21 toward the force-measuring beam 31. The food waste disposer 1 also includes a connecting plate 50, and the mounting portion 24 and the force-measuring beam 31 are connected and fixed through the connecting plate 50. It should be understood that if the bracket 20 is directly connected to the force-measuring beam 31, since the force-measuring beam 31 is rod-shaped, the contact surface between the bracket 20 and the force-measuring beam 31 is small, which may lead to unstable support of the force-measuring beam 31 for the bracket 20. In this utility model, the connecting plate 50 is connected to the force-measuring beam 31, and furthermore, the bracket 20 is connected to the connecting plate 50 through the mounting portion 24. In this way, the connecting plate 50 can provide a larger support surface to the bracket 20, thereby stably supporting the bracket 20.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the connecting plate 50 has an axisymmetric structure and defines an axis of symmetry O. The connecting plate 50 includes a first connecting part 51 and a second connecting part 52. The first connecting part 51 extends along the axis of symmetry O of the connecting plate 50 and can be attached and connected to the force measuring beam 31. The second connecting part 52 is symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of symmetry O and can be attached and connected to the mounting part 24. The connection point between the first connecting part 51 and the force measuring beam 31 is located on the axis of symmetry O, and the connection point between the second connecting part 52 and the mounting part 24 is symmetrically distributed with respect to the axis of symmetry O.

[0043] It is understandable that if the support 20 is directly connected to the force-measuring beam 31, and the axis of the force-measuring beam 31 is not aligned with the center of gravity of the support 20, the torque exerted by the support 20 on the force-measuring beam 31 will cause the force-measuring beam 31 to twist, thereby reducing the accuracy of weight monitoring. In this embodiment, the connection point between the second connecting part 52 and the mounting part 24 is symmetrically distributed relative to the axis of symmetry O, which helps to ensure that the force exerted by the support 20 on the connecting plate 50 is symmetrically distributed along the axis of symmetry O. Furthermore, the connection point between the first connecting part 51 and the force-measuring beam 31 is located on the axis of symmetry O, which helps to avoid the torque exerted by the support 20 on the force-measuring beam 31, thereby reducing the influence of complex bending and torsional coupling signals on the strain gauge, making the strain monitored by the strain gauge closer to the strain caused solely by the weight in the vertical direction. This improves the accuracy and repeatability of the food waste disposer 1 in monitoring the weight of waste.

[0044] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the projection of the connecting plate 50 along the vertical direction is rectangular. The four corners of the connecting plate 50 are respectively connected to the four corners of the mounting part 24 by fasteners. The area near the axis of symmetry O on the connecting plate 50 is fixedly connected to the force measuring beam 31 by fasteners.

[0045] It is worth mentioning that the first connecting part 51 and the second connecting part 52 can be arranged in the same plane or in parallel but opposite planes. This application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the bracket 20 and the base 10 are vertically spaced apart, meaning that the bracket 20 and the base 10 do not contact each other. It should be understood that if the bracket 20 and the base 10 were in contact, meaning the base 10 could also support the bracket 20, the weighing component 30 might detect a lower weight, thus reducing the accuracy of waste weight monitoring. In this embodiment, the bracket 20 is entirely supported by the weighing component 30, which helps ensure that the weight of the food waste bin 70, the waste, and the bracket 20 is fully applied to the weighing component 30, thereby improving the accuracy of waste weight monitoring.

[0047] Furthermore, the support 20 has either a guide groove 221 or a guide post 11, and the base 10 has the other guide groove 221 or guide post 11. The guide post 11 is adapted to slide along the guide groove 221 so that the support 20 can move vertically relative to the base 10. It should be understood that the cooperation of the guide groove 221 and the guide post 11 helps to ensure that the support 20 moves only in the vertical direction, thereby reducing the impact of the shaking and vibration of the food waste bin 70 and the support 20 on the measurement results of the weighing assembly 30 during the operation of the food waste disposer 1, and improving the accuracy of waste weight monitoring.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4-6 ,as well as Figure 9 As shown, the bracket 20 also includes a mating part 22, which is connected to the opposite sides of the support part 21 of the bracket 20 and extends toward the base 10. The mating part 22 has at least two guide grooves 221, and the base 10 includes at least two guide posts 11, which are adapted to slide along the guide grooves 221 so that the bracket 20 can move in the vertical direction relative to the base 10.

[0049] In at least one embodiment, such as Figures 4-6 ,as well as Figure 9As shown, the support portion 21 extends in a plane perpendicular to the vertical direction, i.e., in a horizontal plane, to stably support and fix the food waste bin 70, thus preventing the food waste bin 70 from rotating with the blades. The mating portion 22 connects to the two opposite sides of the support portion 21 along the width direction of the food waste disposer 1. The mating portion 22 extends from the support portion 21 toward the base 10, and is spaced apart from the base 10. An installation space 23 is formed between the support portion 21 and the base 10, which can accommodate the weighing component 30, making the internal structure of the food waste disposer 1 more compact and reducing the overall size of the food waste disposer 1. It is worth mentioning that the mating portion 22 can also connect to the two opposite sides of the support portion 21 along the thickness direction of the food waste disposer 1; this application does not impose a specific limitation on this.

[0050] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 9 As shown, each mating part 22 has three guide grooves 221, and the guide grooves 221 on two opposite mating parts 22 are symmetrically distributed. The number of guide posts 11 on the base 10 is the same as the number of guide grooves 221 on the bracket 20. Through the cooperation of multiple guide posts 11 and guide grooves 221, the force between the bracket 20 and the base 10 is more dispersed, which improves the ability of the base 10 to withstand the shaking and vibration of the bracket 20, thereby improving the structural reliability of the bracket 20 and the base 10.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, the food waste disposer 1 also includes a shock-absorbing pad 60. The shock-absorbing pad 60 is disposed on the surface of the base 10 opposite to the support 20, and / or the shock-absorbing pad 60 is disposed on the surface of the support 20 opposite to the base 10, such that the shock-absorbing pad 60 is located between the base 10 and the support 20. Specifically, the shock-absorbing pad 60 is disposed on the surface of the base 10 opposite to the mating portion 22 of the support 20, and / or the shock-absorbing pad 60 is disposed on the surface of the mating portion 22 of the support 20 facing the base 10. It should be understood that the shock-absorbing pad 60 helps to prevent a hard collision between the support 20 and the base 10 when the vertical displacement is too large.

[0052] The basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model have been described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely the principles of this utility model.
