Tilted Kitchen Waste Disposer for Easier Bin Observation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing kitchen waste disposers with vertical structures require large volumes and inconvenient direct observation, leading to poor user experience due to the need to view the waste bin directly above it.
Innovation Solution
A tilted kitchen waste disposer with an inclined supporting portion and transparent window allows observation from an angled position, combined with an air purification system and heating/stirring assembly to enhance user experience and efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the kitchen waste bin is designed with a large stirring chamber to improve processing capability, then the processing efficiency is improved, but the volume of the kitchen waste bin becomes relatively large
Solution Approach 1:
The patent tilts the kitchen waste bin at an angle of 15-45 degrees relative to the horizontal plane, transforming the traditional vertical structure into an inclined one. This dimensional change allows the stirring chamber to be more efficiently utilized, improving processing capability while reducing the overall volume required for the same processing capacity.
2Device complexity
If the kitchen waste bin is designed in a vertical structure to simplify the design, then the device complexity is reduced, but the user experience deteriorates due to inconvenient observation
Solution Approach 1:
By tilting the kitchen waste bin at an angle of 15-45 degrees, the patent changes the observation angle from directly above to an inclined view. This allows users to observe the internal condition and add kitchen waste more conveniently, improving ease of operation while maintaining relatively simple device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates a transparent window on the upper cover body, allowing users to observe the internal condition of the stirring chamber without opening the cover. This visual transparency improvement enhances user experience without adding mechanical complexity.
3Productivity
If the kitchen waste bin is enlarged to improve processing capability, then the processing efficiency is improved, but the space occupation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The inclined design at 15-45 degrees optimizes the spatial arrangement of the stirring chamber, allowing for more efficient use of internal volume. This enables improved processing efficiency while occupying less overall space compared to traditional vertical designs.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Facilitates convenient observation and operation, reduces odor, accelerates water evaporation, and improves processing efficiency by increasing air contact area and utilizing air purification.
Implementation Method 1
The odor filtration chamber is provided with an activated carbon filter element for filtering air.
Implementation Method 2
The heating assembly is arranged at the bottom of the kitchen waste bin.
Implementation Method 3
The stirring assembly is provided with a breaking portion and a stirring portion. The breaking portion is used for cutting and breaking kitchen waste, and the stirring portion is used for stirring kitchen waste.

AI summary
A tilted kitchen waste disposer, including a housing, a kitchen waste bin which is arranged on the housing, wherein the kitchen waste bin is provided with a stirring chamber. The housing is provided with an upper end opening that connects with the stirring chamber and an upper cover body which is arranged on the upper end opening, and on one side of the housing is provided with a supporting portion that incline from the side of the housing to the bottom of the housing. When the supporting portion contacts with the horizontal plane, the upper end face of the housing forms a certain angle with the horizontal plane. In the present invention, by setting the supporting portion that inclines from the side of the housing to the bottom of the housing, the upper end face of the housing forms a certain angle with the horizontal plane when the supporting portion contacts with the horizontal plane, which can facilitate users to observe the internal condition of the kitchen waste bin from the upper end face of the housing and put kitchen waste therein. Thus, the users do not have to observe the internal condition of the kitchen waste bin directly above the kitchen waste bin, which enhances experience of users.
