WASTE DISPOSAL WITH IMPROVED CUTTER PLATE FEATURES

摘要

In one aspect, a waste disposal for processing waste may generally include a housing and a motor disposed within the housing. The housing may include an inlet defining an open area through the top of the housing. The motor may define a rotational axis. In addition, the waste disposal may include a cutter plate coupled to the motor. The cutter plate may include an upper surface, a side surface and an outer edge defined around an outer perimeter of the cutter plate. The upper surface may define a high point and may have a sloped portion angled downwardly from the high point towards the outer edge. The cutter plate may also define a cutter plate area directly below the open area defined by the inlet. The high point may be defined along the outer surface at a radial location between the cutter plate area and the outer edge.

1. A waste disposal for processing waste, the waste disposal comprising:
a housing extending axially between a top and a bottom, the housing including an inlet defining an open area through the top of the housing; a motor disposed within the housing, the motor defining a rotational axis; and a cutter plate coupled to the motor for rotation therewith, the cutter plate including an upper surface, a side surface and an outer edge defined around an outer perimeter of the cutter plate at the intersection of the upper and side surfaces, the upper surface defining a high point and having a sloped portion angled downwardly from the high point towards the outer edge, the cutter plate defining a cutter plate area along the upper surface directly below the open area defined by the inlet, wherein the high point is defined along the outer surface at a radial location between the cutter plate area and the outer edge.
