Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food waste dewatering technology, specifically a food waste dewatering device. Background Technology

[0002] Food waste, or food scraps, refers to all kinds of residues generated during catering activities, encompassing everything from food preparation to consumption. While easily perishable, it is rich in organic matter and, through scientific classification and treatment, can be transformed into resources such as energy and fertilizer, making it an important target for the resource utilization of urban organic waste. A correct understanding of the definition and characteristics of food waste helps promote its reduction, harmlessness, and resource utilization. Food waste dehydration refers to the process of separating water from food waste through physical or mechanical means to reduce its moisture content and volume. The core purpose of this operation is to reduce the weight and volume of the food waste, facilitating subsequent transportation, storage, and resource utilization, while also reducing problems such as odor and bacterial growth caused by high moisture content. This operation is commonly used in the pre-treatment stage of food waste and is a crucial step in achieving food waste reduction and resource utilization. As a key step in food waste treatment, food waste dehydration brings significant benefits in terms of reduction, resource utilization, and environmental protection, reducing volume and weight, lowering treatment costs, and has wide applications.

[0003] Existing food waste dewatering devices typically require manual removal of the food waste after dewatering, which is inconvenient for quickly discharging the dewatered waste. Furthermore, the water extracted from the waste still contains residue, making filtration and collection difficult. Additionally, during dewatering, food residue can easily clog the filter plates, affecting the subsequent dewatering effect and making the device inconvenient to use. Therefore, we propose a food waste dewatering device. Utility Model Content

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 8 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0036] A food waste dewatering device includes a housing 1, a filter plate 16 installed inside the housing 1, a pressing plate 17 slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, a rinsing plate 22 fixedly connected to one side of the pressing plate 17, high-pressure nozzles equidistantly arranged at the bottom of the rinsing plate 22, a water inlet hose 23 provided on one side of the rinsing plate 22, a filter box 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 1, a filter frame 32 provided inside the filter box 3, fixing blocks 13 symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer side of the housing 1, an electric push rod 14 fixedly connected to one side of the fixing block 13, a sealing baffle 15 fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 14, a fixing frame 2 fixedly connected to one side of the housing 1, an adjusting mechanism 4 cooperating with the pressing plate 17 provided inside the fixing frame 2; the adjusting mechanism 4 includes a drive shaft 43, the drive shaft 43 rotatably connected inside the fixing frame 2, gears 42 fixedly fixedly connected at equidistant distances to the outer side of the drive shaft 43, and a rack 41 cooperating with the gear 42 fixedly connected at equidistant distances to one side of the pressing plate 17, the rack 41 being slidably connected to the fixing frame 2.

[0037] In this scheme, the food scraps to be dehydrated are added into the interior of the housing 1. The drive shaft 43 drives the gear 42 to rotate, which in turn drives the rack 41 to move. The rack 41 then drives the extrusion plate 17 to move, thereby extruding and dehydrating the food scraps. The dehydrated water flows into the interior of the filter box 3 through the holes inside the filter plate 16. The filter frame 32 filters the dehydrated water, facilitating the collection of food scraps mixed in with the water. After dehydration, the electric push rod 14 is activated, which drives the sealing baffle 15 to move. The dehydrated food scraps are then pushed out by the extrusion plate 17 for collection, eliminating the need for manual removal and making the operation convenient. When the extrusion plate 17 resets, water is delivered to the rinsing plate 22 through the water inlet hose 23 and sprayed out through the high-pressure nozzle at the bottom of the rinsing plate 22 to rinse the filter plate 16 and prevent clogging.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown: In this scheme, the top of the box 1 is fixedly connected to the inlet 11, the top of the inlet 11 is hinged to the sealing cover 12, and a sealing gasket is provided on one side of the sealing baffle 15.

[0039] In this design, the feed inlet 11 facilitates the addition of food waste into the chamber 1, making subsequent dehydration easier. The sealing cover 12 allows the feed inlet 11 to be closed when not in use, preventing insects, dust, and other external debris from entering the equipment. The sealing gasket enhances the sealing effect, preventing leakage during the food waste dehydration process.

[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown: In this scheme, a worm gear 44 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the transmission shaft 43, and a worm 45 that works with the worm gear 44 is rotatably connected inside the fixed frame 2; a motor 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame 2, and the output end of the motor 21 is fixedly connected to the worm 45.

[0041] In this design, the motor 21 drives the worm gear 45 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel 44 to rotate. The worm wheel 44 then drives the transmission shaft 43 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear 42 to rotate. The worm gear 45 and the worm wheel 44 have a self-locking function, which effectively prevents the transmission shaft 43 from reversing and enhances the safety of the device during use.

[0042] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown: In this scheme, a connecting seat 31 is fixedly connected to one side of the filter box 3, and a sliding seat 37 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting seat 31. A limiting plug 33 is fixedly connected at equal intervals to one side of the sliding seat 37. The limiting plug 33 is slidably connected to the connecting seat 31. An mounting plate 38 is fixedly connected to one side of the filter frame 32. The bottom of the mounting plate 38 is provided with fixing grooves 39 at equal intervals to cooperate with the limiting plug 33. A connecting rod 35 is fixedly connected at equal intervals to one side of the sliding seat 37. The connecting rod 35 is slidably connected to the connecting seat 31. A spring 36 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 35 and on one side of the sliding seat 37. A connecting block 34 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 35 away from the sliding seat 37.

[0043] In this design, when the filter frame 32 needs to be disassembled and cleaned, the connecting block 34 is pulled. The connecting block 34 moves the sliding seat 37 via the connecting rod 35, compressing the spring 36. The sliding seat 37 then moves the limiting insert 33 away from the fixing groove 39, releasing the locking state of the mounting plate 38. This allows the filter frame 32 to be easily removed for cleaning, making the operation convenient. When the filter frame 32 needs to be reinstalled after cleaning, the connecting block 34 is pulled. The connecting block 34 moves the sliding seat 37 via the connecting rod 35, compressing the spring 36. The sliding seat 37 then moves the limiting insert 33 away from the fixing groove 39, releasing the locking state of the mounting plate 38. This facilitates the removal of the filter frame 32 for cleaning. When the filter frame 32 is compressed, the sliding block 34 moves the limiting insert 33 into the interior of the connecting block 31, pushing the filter frame 32 into the interior of the filter box 3. After the filter frame 32 is pushed in, the connecting block 34 is released, and the spring 36 will move the sliding block 37 to reset due to its elasticity. The sliding block 37 moves the limiting insert 33 into the interior of the fixing groove 39, thereby locking the position of the mounting plate 38 and completing the installation and fixing of the filter frame 32. The sealing gasket on one side of the mounting plate 38 can achieve a sealing effect, enhancing the stability of the device and making it easy to operate.

[0044] Working principle:

[0045] When in use, an external control panel can be installed on one side of the enclosure 1 to manage the required electrical equipment in a unified manner.

[0046] Add the food scraps that need to be dehydrated into the interior of the chamber 1, start the motor 21, the motor 21 drives the worm wheel 44 to rotate through the worm 45, the worm wheel 44 drives the gear 42 to rotate through the transmission shaft 43, the rotation of the gear 42 drives the rack 41 to move, the rack 41 drives the extrusion plate 17 to move, thereby extruding and dehydrating the food scraps through the extrusion plate 17, and the dehydrated water flows into the interior of the filter chamber 3 through the holes inside the filter plate 16.

[0047] The filter frame 32 allows for the filtration of the separated water, facilitating the collection and treatment of food residue mixed in with the water.

[0048] After dehydration is complete, the electric push rod 14 is activated, which drives the sealing baffle 15 to move. The dehydrated food residue is pushed out by the squeezing plate 17 for collection and processing. No manual removal is required, making the operation convenient.

[0049] When the squeezing plate 17 is reset, water can be delivered to the rinsing plate 22 through the water inlet hose 23 and sprayed out through the high-pressure nozzle at the bottom of the rinsing plate 22 to rinse the filter plate 16 and prevent clogging. After rinsing, when the filter frame 32 needs to be disassembled and cleaned, pull the connecting block 34. The connecting block 34 drives the sliding seat 37 to move through the connecting rod 35. The spring 36 is compressed, and the sliding seat 37 drives the limit insert 33 to move away from the fixing groove 39, which can release the locking state of the mounting plate 38, making it easy to remove the filter frame 32 for cleaning. The operation is convenient.

[0050] When the filter frame 32 needs to be reinstalled after cleaning, pull the connecting block 34. The connecting block 34 drives the sliding seat 37 to move through the connecting rod 35. The spring 36 is compressed, and the sliding seat 37 drives the limiting insert 33 to move into the interior of the connecting seat 31, pushing the filter frame 32 into the interior of the filter box 3. After pushing it in, release the connecting block 34. The spring 36 will drive the sliding seat 37 to move and reset due to its elasticity. The sliding seat 37 drives the limiting insert 33 to move into the interior of the fixing groove 39, thereby locking the position of the mounting plate 38 and completing the installation and fixing of the filter frame 32.

[0051] The sealing gasket on one side of the mounting plate 38 can achieve a sealing effect, which enhances the stability of the device, makes it easy to operate and use.
