Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen waste disposers, and more specifically to a kitchen waste disposer with a dual-mode water outlet structure. Background Technology

[0002] Food waste disposers, as cleaning devices in modern kitchens, pulverize and dispose of food waste through high-speed grinding. However, existing food waste disposers often leave small scraps and bits stuck in the crevices and corners of the disposer walls, which can lead to mold, unpleasant odors, and other problems over time.

[0003] Most solutions involve continuously adding water during operation to increase the flushing effect. There are two existing flushing structures: one is manual water injection from the feed inlet via a faucet above the platform; the other is automatic water intake from the side of the grinding cover. Side water intake can be done by direct central water intake or by water intake through an array of holes along the wall. Central water intake concentrates and cannot effectively flush out dead corners and crevices, while water intake through the array of holes along the wall can improve the removal of residue but is prone to splashing and sticking to the wall. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A dual-mode water outlet structure for kitchen waste disposal includes a disposal body with a water inlet connected to a flushing water source. The disposal body has a water guide cavity communicating with the water inlet. The water guide cavity has a ring around its inner wall, and a plurality of flushing holes are arranged circumferentially at its bottom. Water flows out from the flushing holes to form a first flushing water path. The side wall of the water guide cavity has a downward-sloping slit extending circumferentially towards the interior of the disposal body. Water flows out from the slit to form a second flushing water path.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: a water guide groove is installed inside the processor body, the water guide groove and the inner wall of the processor body together form a water guide cavity, and a gap is reserved between the top of the water guide groove and the processor body to form the gap.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the water guide channel has a connecting part protruding downward, and the water inlet is connected to the water guide channel through the connecting part.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the inner wall of the processor body is provided with a connection hole, and the side wall of the water guide groove is provided with a lug, and the lug is threadedly connected to the connection hole by a screw.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: a support block protrudes from the top of the water guide channel, the support block is in contact with the processor body, and the thickness of the support block is the same as the thickness of the gap.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the thickness of the gap ranges from 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the inclination angle of the gap is in the range of 30° to 90°.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: the processor body includes an upper shell and a lower shell, the upper shell and the lower shell together form a grinding cavity, the water inlet is provided on the side wall of the upper shell, the processor body has a feed inlet and a discharge outlet communicating with the grinding cavity, the bottom of the lower shell is connected to a grinding motor, the output shaft of the grinding motor passes through the grinding cavity and is fitted with a grinding disc.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0014] 1. By setting up a water guide cavity around the inner wall of the processor body, combined with the flushing holes arranged around the bottom and the downward-sloping gaps on the side walls, a dual flushing synergy is achieved: the water flow in the first flushing water path falls downward along the side wall, which can directly flush the grinding chamber and effectively remove residual scraps; the inclined gaps in the second flushing water path allow the water flow to be sprayed obliquely into the grinding chamber, forming a fan-shaped water curtain under pressure. After multiple sections converge, they form a full circle of umbrella-shaped water curtain facing the center, which can not only flush the dead corners and edges, but also minimize the problem of fine debris splashing and sticking to the wall during the grinding process; the combination of the two water paths greatly improves the cleanliness and user experience of the garbage disposal unit.

[0015] 2. The enclosed structure of the water guide channel and the inner wall makes the formation of the water guide cavity simpler, which is convenient for processing and assembly. The reserved gap between the top of the water guide channel and the main body can be directly used as the gap of the second flushing water channel. There is no need to process complex channels, which simplifies the structural design and makes it easier to accurately control the shape and size of the gap, ensuring the stable formation of the second flushing water channel effect.

[0016] 3. The water guide channel is connected to the water inlet by a connecting part, so that the water guide channel can be adapted to the water inlet with a larger cross-sectional area, increasing the water flow pressure in the water guide cavity and improving the flushing effect.

[0017] 4. By setting a support block at the top of the water guide channel, the support block supports the processor body, which facilitates precise control of the gap thickness and avoids gaps that are too large or too small due to assembly errors. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can typically be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0025] A type of food waste disposer with a dual-mode water outlet structure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a processor body with a water inlet 3 connected to a flushing water source. The processor body includes an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2, which are fastened together by multiple bolts around their perimeters. The upper shell 1 and lower shell 2 together form a grinding chamber 15. The water inlet 3 is located on the side wall of the upper shell 1 and is positioned horizontally, perpendicular to the axial direction of the upper shell 1.

[0026] The processor body has an inlet 13 and an outlet 14 communicating with the grinding chamber 15. Specifically, the inlet 13 is vertically located at the top of the upper shell 1, and the outlet 14 is horizontally located on the side wall of the lower shell 2. A grinding motor 16 is connected to the bottom of the lower shell 2. The output shaft of the grinding motor 16 passes through the grinding chamber 15 and is fitted with a grinding disc 17. Food waste falls into the grinding chamber 15 through the inlet 13. The grinding motor 16 drives the grinding disc 17 to rotate, pulverizing the food waste and discharging it from the outlet 14. At the same time, flushing water enters from the water inlet 3 to flush the grinding chamber 15.

[0027] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, a water guiding cavity 4 communicating with the water inlet 3 is provided inside the processor body. The water guiding cavity 4 is arranged in a ring along the inner wall of the processor body. Several flushing holes 5 are arranged circumferentially at the bottom of the water guiding cavity 4. Water flows out from the flushing holes 5 to form a first flushing water channel. A slit 6 is provided on the side wall of the water guiding cavity 4, which is inclined downward towards the inside of the processor body. The slit 6 extends circumferentially along the water guiding cavity 4. Water flows out from the slit 6 to form a second flushing water channel. When water enters from the water inlet 3, it fills the entire annular water guiding cavity 4 and simultaneously sprays out from the first and second flushing water channels.

[0028] Specifically, a water guide channel 7 is installed inside the processor body. The water guide channel 7 and the inner wall of the processor body together form a water guide cavity 4. A gap 6 is reserved between the top of the water guide channel 7 and the processor body. The water guide channel 7 has a ring structure and includes an outer ring 701 and an inner ring 702. A groove 703 is formed between the outer ring 701 and the inner ring 702, making the cross-section U-shaped. A flushing hole 5 is opened in the groove 703. The flushing hole 5 is circular, and its diameter is the same as the width of the groove 703. The height of the outer ring 701 is lower than that of the inner ring 702. The outer ring 701 fits against the inner wall of the upper shell 1, and the inner ring 702 protrudes upward and forms the gap 6 with the reserved gap between it and the upper shell 1.

[0029] The water guide channel 7 has a downwardly protruding connecting part 8 on the side facing the water inlet 3, through which the water inlet 3 is connected to the water guide channel 7. The cross-sectional area of ​​the water inlet 3 is larger than that of the water guide cavity 4, but smaller than that of the connecting part 8. The connecting part 8 allows the water guide channel 7 to accommodate the larger cross-sectional area of ​​the water inlet 3. Since the cross-sectional area of ​​the water inlet 3 is larger than that of the water guide cavity 4, the water flow pressure within the water guide cavity 4 can be increased, thus improving the flushing effect.

[0030] The top of the inner ring 702 of the water guide channel 7 is provided with an inclined surface 12, which slopes downwards towards the processor body. The upper shell 1 has a downward-extending inclined surface parallel to the inclined surface 12, thereby forming an inclined gap 6. The inclination angle of the gap 6 can be set in the range of 30° to 90° according to the requirements. In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the gap 6 is specifically 45°.

[0031] The top of the water guide channel 7 has a support block 11 protruding from the inclined surface 12 of the inner ring 702. Multiple support blocks 11 are arranged circumferentially along the water guide channel 7. The support block 11 fits against the inclined surface extending downwards inside the upper shell 1 of the processor body. The thickness of the support block 11 is the same as the thickness of the gap 6, and the support block 11 protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the inclined surface 12. The support block 11 provides support, ensuring that the gap 6 maintains an accurate average thickness, preventing the gap 6 from being too large or too small due to assembly errors. The thickness of the gap 6 can be specifically set within the range of 0.1mm to 0.4mm according to requirements. In this embodiment, the thickness of the gap 6 is specifically 0.2mm.

[0032] The processor body specifically has a connecting post 9 on the inner wall of the upper shell 1. The connecting post 9 has a connecting hole at the bottom facing upwards. The inner ring 702 of the water guide channel 7 has a lug 10 on its side wall. The lug 10 is threadedly connected to the connecting hole by screws, thereby fixing the water guide channel 7 inside the upper shell 1. There are multiple sets of connecting holes and lugs 10, which are equidistantly arranged along the axial direction of the water guide channel 7. In this embodiment, the gap 6 extends circumferentially along the water guide cavity 4, but is interrupted into multiple segments by the lugs 10.

[0033] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0034] Kitchen waste falls into the grinding chamber 15 from the feed inlet 13. The grinding motor 16 is turned on to drive the grinding disc 17 to rotate and crush the kitchen waste. After crushing, the waste is discharged from the discharge outlet 14. At the same time, the flushing water supply is provided. The water flows into the water guide chamber 4 from the water inlet 3, forming a first flushing water path and a second flushing water path to clean and flush the grinding chamber 15. The water from the second flushing water path is in a fan-shaped water curtain state due to pressure. After multiple sections are collected, they form an umbrella-shaped water curtain along the wall towards the center of the grinding chamber 15. This can more effectively flush the dead corners and edges, and can also minimize the problems of fine particles splashing and sticking to the wall during grinding.
