[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchen waste treatment technology, and in particular to a kitchen waste treatment machine. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing environmental awareness, food waste disposers are becoming more prevalent in modern households. A food waste disposer is an environmentally friendly device used to process household food waste. Its basic function is to reduce and neutralize food waste through drying and grinding, helping to reduce waste generation at the source and improve kitchen hygiene. Some food waste disposers can also convert the processed residue into organic fertilizer, achieving resource recycling.

[0003] In related technologies, the control panel of a food waste disposer is usually located on the cover. Frequent opening and closing of the cover can easily lead to loosening of the control panel's connecting parts or damage to the circuitry, affecting the overall lifespan of the machine. Therefore, there is an urgent need to optimize the structure and layout of the control panel. Utility Model Content

[0004] One object of this application is to provide a food waste disposer that solves or at least partially alleviates the problem that frequent opening and closing of the lid can easily lead to loosening of the control panel's connecting parts or damage to the circuitry.

[0025] The present application 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 application, 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" indicate the orientation and positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application 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 application.

[0027] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection, a contact connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] A food waste disposer 1, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, the device includes a housing 10 and an operation panel component 20. Specifically, the housing 10 has an inner cavity 141 and an outer cavity 131. The inner cavity 141 is adapted to accommodate a food waste bin 40, and the outer cavity 131 has a receiving space 1311 located in front of the inner cavity 141. The operation panel component 20 is obliquely disposed at the upper end of the housing 10, and the connection circuit of the operation panel component 20 is housed in the receiving space 1311.

[0029] It should be understood that, compared to the related technologies in which the control panel is placed on the cover 30, in this embodiment, the operation panel component 20 is placed on the upper end of the housing 10. This helps to avoid the frequent opening and closing of the cover 30 from affecting the operation panel component 20, thereby reducing the risk of the operation panel component 20 becoming loose or the circuit being damaged, thus extending the service life of the operation panel component 20 and improving the reliability of the food waste disposer 1.

[0030] Furthermore, compared to the control panel component 20 being vertically mounted on the housing 10, in this embodiment, the control panel component 20 is inclinedly mounted on the upper part of the housing 10, making it easier for users to operate and read information. Specifically, the food waste disposer 1 is usually placed on the ground or in a cabinet; in other words, the food waste disposer 1 is usually placed in a low position. If the control panel component 20 were vertically mounted, that is, if the control panel component 20 faced the front side of the food waste disposer 1, the user would have to squat down completely to operate or read information. In this embodiment, the control panel component 20 is inclined, that is, if the control panel component 20 faces the front and slightly above the food waste disposer 1, the user only needs to look down to read information and bend over to operate, which is as convenient as when the control panel is mounted on the cover 30. In addition, compared to the control panel component 20 being horizontally mounted on the upper part of the housing 10, that is, if the control panel component 20 faces the upper part of the food waste disposer 1, the inclined mounting of the control panel component 20 in this embodiment allows the structure of the food waste disposer 1 to be more compact, reducing the size of the food waste disposer 1 along the thickness direction.

[0031] It is worth mentioning that the control panel component 20 and its connecting circuit are housed in the outer cavity 131, which reduces the impact of vibration and heat conduction of the food waste bin 40 located in the inner cavity 141 on the control panel component 20. This helps to prevent the connecting parts of the control panel component 20 from becoming loose or causing interference to the circuit, and further improves the reliability of the food waste disposer 1.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the angle between the operation panel component 20 and the vertical plane is denoted as α, which satisfies: 10°≤α≤30°. In at least one embodiment, the angle α between the operation panel component 20 and the vertical plane satisfies: 15°≤α≤20°. The vertical plane refers to the plane that is perpendicular to the horizontal plane and parallel to the width direction of the food waste disposer 1 when it is placed on a horizontal plane.

[0033] It should be understood that the slight tilt of the control panel component 20 allows users to clearly read the operating information of the food waste disposer 1 without excessive bending or stooping. Furthermore, compared to a vertical or horizontal configuration, the slight tilt of the control panel component 20 in this embodiment reduces its reflective area and the probability of glare, thereby improving readability in complex lighting conditions. In addition, the slight tilt makes it easier for users to press the control panel component 20 with their fingers, thus enhancing the interactivity and comfort of the food waste disposer 1.

[0034] It is worth mentioning that, compared to the operation panel component 20 being vertically arranged in the housing 10, in this example, as... Figure 3As shown, the control panel component 20 is slightly tilted, which increases the space behind it, helps prevent interference between components and structures, and also allows for better heat dissipation, extending its service life. Compared to a control panel component 20 being horizontally mounted on the housing 10, in this embodiment, the control panel component 20 is slightly tilted, which reduces the vertical projection area of ​​the food waste disposer 1 while ensuring a sufficiently large area of ​​the control panel component 20. This results in a smaller overall size of the food waste disposer 1, making it easier to store.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the vertical height of the control panel component 20 is denoted as h, and the total height of the food waste disposer 1 is denoted as H, satisfying: 0.15 ≤ h / H ≤ 0.25. In at least one embodiment, the ratio between the vertical height of the control panel component 20 and the total height of the food waste disposer 1 satisfies: 0.18 ≤ h / H ≤ 0.22.

[0036] It should be understood that the control panel component 20 is located at the upper end of the front side wall of the outer casing 13, and the ratio between the vertical height of the control panel component 20 and the total height of the food waste disposer 1 satisfies 0.15≤h / H≤0.25. This allows the control panel component 20 to have a larger width, thereby increasing its area to accommodate a larger display screen 243, operating components 242, signs, and other content, thus improving the interactivity of the food waste disposer 1. Furthermore, the control panel component 20 is located in the upper-middle part of the food waste disposer 1, which helps it become a visual focal point, guiding users to the operating area and facilitating user operation.

[0037] It is worth mentioning that, such as Figure 3 As shown, the control panel component 20 is located in the upper middle part of the food waste disposer 1, which allows for a more rational and efficient allocation of space in the outer chamber 131 of the food waste disposer 1. Specifically, the outer chamber 131 has more space to accommodate the drive assembly 60, filter assembly, heating component, etc., making the overall structural layout of the food waste disposer 1 more flexible. In addition, since the drive assembly 60 and heating component are usually located below the food waste bin 40, while in this embodiment, the control panel component 20 is located at the upper end of the front side wall of the outer casing 13, this arrangement helps to reduce the vibration of the drive assembly 60, the shaking of the food waste bin 40, and the impact of heat conduction from the heating component on the control panel component 20, thereby improving the reliability of the control panel component 20 and extending the service life of the food waste disposer 1.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the control panel component 20 has an upper edge 21 and a lower edge 22 that are positioned opposite each other. The upper edge 21 is higher than the top surface 31 of the cover 30 of the food waste disposer 1, and the lower edge 22 extends forward from the front outer wall surface 11 of the food waste disposer 1. This design allows for a localized increase in the area of ​​the control panel component 20 while maintaining a relatively small overall size of the food waste disposer 1. Furthermore, it makes the control panel a visual focal point, helping to guide the user in using the device. In addition, this design further increases the space behind the control panel component 20, which helps prevent interference between components and structures, allows for better heat dissipation, and extends the service life of the control panel component 20.

[0039] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper edge 21 of the control panel component 20 is connected to the top surface 31 of the cover 30 by an arc transition, and the lower edge 22 of the control panel component 20 is connected to the front outer wall surface 11 of the housing 10 by an arc transition, which makes the overall lines of the food waste disposer 1 smoother.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the housing 10 includes an inner shell 14 and an outer shell 13. Specifically, the inner shell 14 defines an inner chamber 141 for housing the food waste bin 40. The outer shell 13 is fitted over the outer side of the inner shell 14, defining an outer chamber 131 between the outer shell 13 and the inner shell 14. The outer chamber 131 has a receiving space 1311 located in front of the inner chamber 141 and a mounting space 1312 located below the inner chamber 141, wherein the mounting space 1312 can accommodate the main controller 50, the drive assembly 60, the heating element, the connecting circuit, etc. Further, the inner shell 14 includes an upper cover portion 142 located above the outer shell 13 and a cylindrical portion 143 located in the middle of the outer shell 13, wherein the upper cover portion 142 is vertically opposed to the bottom wall of the outer shell 13 to shield the outer chamber 131, and the cylindrical portion 143 forms the inner chamber 141 for housing the food waste bin 40. Furthermore, the upper cover 142 and the outer shell 13 form a mounting opening 12, which is adapted to accommodate the operation panel component 20, and the operation panel component 20 is fixedly connected to the inner shell 14 and the outer shell 13.

[0041] It should be understood that if the mounting opening 12 were entirely formed within the outer shell 13 or entirely within the inner shell 14, it would increase the manufacturing difficulty of the outer shell 13 or the inner shell 14, and increase the manufacturing cost of the shell 10. In this embodiment, the mounting opening 12 is jointly formed by the inner shell 14 and the outer shell 13, for example, as... Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the upper edge of the mounting opening 12 is formed by the inner shell 14, and the lower edge of the mounting opening 12 is formed by the outer shell 13. When the inner shell 14 is mounted on the outer shell 13, the upper and lower edges together form the mounting opening 12. This reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the outer shell 13 and the inner shell 14, and also reduces the manufacturing cost of the shell 10. Furthermore, as... Figure 4 As shown, the operation panel component 20 is fixedly connected to the inner shell 14 and the outer shell 13, thereby improving the connection reliability between the inner shell 14 and the outer shell 13.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, the operation panel component 20 includes a mounting plate 23 and an interaction unit 24. The mounting plate 23 is fixedly connected to the housing 10, and the interaction unit 24 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 23, allowing the interaction unit 24 to be operated and display information. Specifically, the interaction unit 24 typically includes a circuit board 241 and several electronic components. The interaction unit 24 can be independently designed, assembled, manufactured, and stored. The mounting plate 23 is designed to be compatible with the interaction unit 24 and the housing 10, thereby enabling the interaction unit 24 to be fixed to the housing 10.

[0043] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the mounting plate 23 is detachably connected to the inner shell 14 and the outer shell 13 by several fasteners, which facilitates the disassembly, maintenance, or replacement of the control panel component 20 in the future. It also facilitates the individual upgrading of the control panel component 20 in the future, thereby reducing the maintenance and upgrade costs of the food waste disposer 1. In at least one embodiment, the interaction unit 24 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 23 by several fasteners, which facilitates the individual disassembly, repair, or replacement of the interaction unit 24 in the future, while the mounting plate 23 can be retained for continued use, thereby reducing the maintenance costs of the food waste disposer 1.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, the interaction unit 24 includes at least one circuit board 241, at least one operating element 242, and at least one display screen 243. The operating element 242 is electrically connected to the circuit board 241 and can switch the working mode of the food waste disposer 1 and / or control the start and stop of the food waste disposer 1. The display screen 243 is electrically connected to the circuit board 241 and is used to display at least one of temperature, humidity, weight, and working mode. In some other embodiments, the interaction unit 24 may also be implemented as a touch screen, which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0045] In at least one embodiment, the operating element 242 is implemented as a pressable knob. Specifically, rotating the knob switches the operating mode of the food waste disposer 1, and pressing the knob controls the start and stop of the food waste disposer 1. In at least one embodiment, the operating element 242 is implemented as several buttons. Specifically, pressing a button switches the operating mode of the food waste disposer 1; for example, pressing the same button switches the operating mode of the food waste disposer 1, or pressing different buttons switches the corresponding operating mode; and pressing a button controls the start and stop of the food waste disposer 1. In at least one embodiment, the operating element 242 is implemented as a knob and a button. Specifically, rotating the knob switches the operating mode of the food waste disposer 1, and pressing the button controls the start and stop of the food waste disposer 1. This application does not impose specific limitations on the implementation of the operating element 242.

[0046] It is worth mentioning that when the operating element 242 is implemented as a button, it includes, but is not limited to, capacitive touch buttons, pressure-sensitive buttons, infrared / optical buttons, and resistive buttons; this application does not impose specific limitations on this. The display screen 243 includes, but is not limited to, LED digital tubes, liquid crystal (LCD) screens, and OLED screens. The display screen 243 can be set up independently or integrated with the operating element 242; this application does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the operation panel component 20 also includes a cover plate 25, which is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 23 and covers the interaction unit 24. In at least one embodiment, the cover plate 25 is fixed to the mounting plate 23 by adhesive bonding. In at least one embodiment, the cover plate 25 is fixed to the mounting plate 23 by snap-fit. This application does not impose specific limitations on the installation method of the cover plate 25.

[0048] It should be understood that, without affecting the user's operation of the interaction unit 24 and information reading, the cover 25 helps to prevent liquids, food residues, etc., from contacting the interaction unit 24, reducing the risk of short circuits in the interaction unit 24 and jamming of the operating component 242, and improving the reliability of the operation panel component 20. Furthermore, the cover 25 allows the outer surface of the operation panel component 20 to be a flat plane, or at least most of its outer surface to be flat, facilitating cleaning by the user. It is worth noting that the cover 25 can be made of glass or resin; this application does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the mounting plate 23 includes a main body 231 and a limiting part 232. The limiting part 232 extends from the main body 231 toward the inside of the food waste disposer 1, forming a limiting groove 2321. The limiting groove 2321 is suitable for accommodating the circuit board 241 and plays a positioning role for the circuit board 241, thereby reducing the installation difficulty of the circuit board 241 and improving the assembly efficiency of the operation panel component 20. Furthermore, a through hole 2311 is provided on the main body 231. The through hole 2311 is suitable for exposing the operating component 242 and the display screen 243 on the mounting plate 23, so that the operating component 242 can be used normally by the user and the information on the display screen 243 can be read normally by the user.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the mounting plate 23 also includes a perimeter portion 233, which extends from the main body 231 toward the food waste disposer 1. The perimeter portion 233 is adapted to surround the outer periphery of the cover plate 25, thereby providing positioning and protection for the cover plate 25, reducing the installation difficulty of the cover plate 25, improving the assembly efficiency of the control panel component 20, and reducing the risk of edge breakage of the cover plate 25. In at least one embodiment, the surface of the cover plate 25 is flush with the perimeter portion 233. In at least one embodiment, the surface of the cover plate 25 is slightly lower than the perimeter portion 233.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the food waste disposer 1 also includes a main controller 50, which is housed in the outer chamber 131. The main controller is located below the control panel component 20 and is electrically connected to the control panel component 20 to supply power to it. It should be understood that the main controller 50 is used to control the drive assembly 60, the filter assembly, the heating assembly, and the control panel component 20. The location of the main controller 50 below the control panel component helps to shorten the connection circuit between the main controller 50 and the control panel component 20, improves the reliability of the electrical connection, and simplifies the internal wiring of the food waste disposer 1.

[0052] The basic principles, main features, and advantages of this application have been described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely the principles of this application. Various changes and modifications can be made to this application without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection claimed by this application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
