As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the edge of the grinding disk 15 is provided with a garbage passing groove 16, and garbage passing through the edge of the grinding disk 15 after being ground enters the drain pipe 14 through the groove 16. The garbage passing groove 16 comprises a plurality of grooves, the edge of the grinding disc 15 is arranged close to the inner peripheral wall of the grinding cavity 11, and the garbage can enter the drain pipe 14 through the grooves 16 after being ground.

As shown in fig. 1 and 3, the clogging reminder for kitchen waste disposer of the present invention further includes a controller 30 and a clogging sensor 20, wherein the driving device 17, the clogging sensor 20, and the electromagnetic valve 40 are electrically connected to the controller 30. The jam sensor 20 may be provided in the garbage passing groove 16, the jam sensor 20 may transmit a signal of whether the jam occurs to the controller 30, and the controller 30 controls the kitchen garbage disposer jam warning device to operate according to the received signal of the jam sensor 20. The electromagnetic valve 40 is electrically connected with the controller 30, the water inlet pipe 13 is connected with the electromagnetic valve 40 and the water inlet pipe 13 is communicated with the grinding chamber 11, and the controller 30 controls the electromagnetic valve 40 to work so as to control the water inlet amount of the water inlet pipe 13. The controller 30 can receive the signal of the jam sensor 20, and control the start driving device 17 to operate, control the opening of the electromagnetic valve 40, and have the function of prompting the user of the jam position. The solenoid valve 40 further includes a flow monitor for monitoring the flow rate to prevent insufficient water inflow due to insufficient water pressure.

The controller 30 may be a controller 30 having a display screen, and the controller 30 may display and prompt a specific blockage position and whether the blockage is completely cleared in real time by a screen, a sound, and the like, and the user may select a blockage-blocking detection function by setting.

The occlusion sensor 20 may be an electret, a pressure sensor, preferably an electret array sensor or an array pressure sensor, or the like. The array sensor that adopts a plurality of sensors to constitute through detecting jam sensor 20 signal, can realize judging whether jam, concrete jam position in grinding chamber 11, whether clear up effect such as complete.

The jam sensor 20 may be disposed at other positions instead of the garbage passing groove 16, or may be disposed at the garbage passing groove 16 or at other positions, and the jam sensor 20 may be mounted in the grinding chamber 11, for example, on the inner side wall of the housing 10 under the edge of the grinding plate 15, especially on the inner side wall of the housing 10 corresponding to the garbage passing groove 16, or may be mounted at a position such as a water outlet, a U-shaped sewer pipe, etc., to determine whether there is a jam at the position.

The process of reminding the blockage of the kitchen garbage disposer by adopting the blockage reminding device of the invention is as follows,

after the grinding operation is finished, the blocking sensor 20 detects whether the grinding disc 15 has residual garbage, if the garbage remains, a signal is transmitted to the controller 30, the controller 30 controls the electromagnetic valve 40 to continuously add water and controls the driving device 17 to operate so as to drive the grinding disc 15 to rotate to continuously grind and clean; after the grinding and cleaning operation is completed, if the controller 30 receives no signal from the jam sensor 20, it indicates that the jam signal detected by the jam sensor 20 indicates that the residual garbage is not washed down after grinding; if the water adding grinding and cleaning operation is completed, the blockage sensor 20 detects the blockage signal again and transmits the blockage signal to the controller 30, and the blockage signal represents that the garbage is remained around the grinding disc 15. The controller 30 positions the blockage position according to the specific blockage signal transmitted by the blockage sensor 20, prompts the user of the specific blockage position and prompts the user to carry out blockage cleaning work, and after the user cleans the garbage completely, the controller 30 exits after detecting that the blockage sensor 20 has no signal.

As shown in fig. 4, the method for reminding the clogging of the kitchen waste disposer by using the clogging reminding device of the invention comprises the following steps:

step one, after the grinding operation of the kitchen waste disposer is finished, the controller 30 detects whether a blockage signal exists in the blockage sensor 20, if no blockage signal exists, the blockage reminding device of the kitchen waste disposer does not run, if a blockage signal exists, the blockage reminding device of the kitchen waste disposer runs, and the controller 30 starts the electromagnetic valve 40 to add water and starts the grinding disc 15 to grind.

Step two, after the controller 30 starts the electromagnetic valve 40 to add water and starts the grinding disc 15 to grind, the controller 30 detects whether the blockage sensor 20 has a blockage signal, if no blockage signal exists, the controller 30 controls the kitchen garbage disposer blockage reminding device to stop running, if a blockage signal exists, the controller 30 reminds a user of a blockage position needing to be cleaned, and the user cleans the blockage position.

And step three, the controller 30 detects whether the blockage sensor 20 has a blockage signal, if no blockage signal exists, the kitchen garbage disposer blockage reminding device stops running, if a blockage signal exists, the controller 30 reminds a user of a blockage position needing to be cleaned, the user cleans the blockage position, and until the blockage sensor 20 does not have the blockage signal, the controller 30 controls the kitchen garbage disposer blockage reminding device to stop running.

Therefore, the kitchen waste disposer blockage reminding device can realize the blockage reminding function after the kitchen waste disposer grinds out, and has the function of reminding whether blockage is completely cleaned.

While the invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, various modifications may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, the technical features mentioned in the embodiments can be combined in any way as long as there is no structural conflict.
