Description

  The present invention relates to a garbage disposal device, and more particularly, to a garbage disposal device that is connected to a lower part of a sink stand and stirs the garbage at the same time as it is decomposed by microorganisms so that no residue remains.

  Generally, most of the garbage discharged at home or restaurants contains a large amount of water, and it is discharged into the trash box together with general food, so it has a negative impact on environmental pollution such as contaminating domestic sewage and soil. It will be affected. Therefore, recently, the Garbage Disposal Law has been enacted to separate and collect general garbage, garbage and other recyclable garbage, and ordinary households and restaurants put garbage in garbage bags without any leachable water and discharge it. It is customary to do.

  On the other hand, since garbage is wet, even if it is said that it will be completely packed in a plastic bag for garbage, the leachate will be discharged from between the garbage bags, or if the garbage bag is vulnerable to impact and it becomes torn, It often occurs when exposed to. As a result, in hot seasons such as the summer, potatoes gather around the garbage bags and provide an environment in which bacteria such as fungi grow.

  In consideration of such problems, there are commercially available dewatering devices for removing moisture from garbage and treatment devices for decomposing and treating garbage. If such a garbage processing apparatus is used, there is an advantage that it is possible to reduce the volume of garbage and treat it, thereby preventing environmental pollution and reducing the cost of treating garbage.

  However, there is a problem that such a garbage disposal apparatus is large and expensive and is not suitable for use in a general household. In particular, such a large-scale garbage processing apparatus must collect garbage and put it into the garbage processing apparatus, which is very inconvenient for use in a general household where a small amount of garbage is generated. There is a problem.

  For this reason, in general households, a grinder may be used to process garbage generated in a small amount. Since such a pulverizer is installed at the drain outlet of the sink stand and pulverizes the garbage to discharge it through the sewage outlet, there is a problem of inducing environmental pollution. Therefore, there is a need for a garbage disposal device that can be easily used in ordinary households and can prevent environmental pollution.

The other side of the circulation pipe (384) is connected by a water supply means (340) of the decomposition tank (300), and the one side of the circulation pipe (384) is connected to the decomposition tank. A circulation pump (386) is provided that provides suction input so that the water in the septic tank (380) is circulated at (300).

  Therefore, the water in the septic tank (380) is supplied again to the decomposition tank (300) through the water supply means (340) of the decomposition tank (300) by the suction input of the circulation pump (386) and provided for the stirring action. The water that has undergone the stirring action from the decomposition tank is again flowed into the septic tank, purified and discharged to the outside so that it can be circulated.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the garbage disposal device according to the present invention having the above-described configuration will be described in detail. When the storage cylinder (260) of the charging unit (200) is filled with the garbage, the storage cylinder (260) is removed. Then, the garbage is put into the charging port (220). At this time, the garbage thrown into the loading port (220) is guided while sliding on the guide plate (280), and is turned into the decomposition tank (300) by rotating the odor backflow prevention plate (290). .

  In this way, after the garbage is put into the decomposition tank (300), the odor backflow prevention plate (290) is rotated to the original place by gravity and smell generated from the garbage in the decomposition tank (300). To prevent backflow. As described above, when the garbage is introduced into the decomposition tank and is filled to a certain extent (for example, the amount for one day), the microorganism incubator (320) and a certain amount of microorganisms are introduced. When the operation button (580) of the control panel (500) is pressed, the garbage processor is activated.

  When the operation lamp (580) is operated and the display lamp (590) of the control panel (500) emits light, water is supplied by the water supply means (340) of the decomposition tank (300) and the control panel (500) is stirred. By rotating the motor (540) and operating the stirring means (400), the garbage, the microorganism incubator (320), and the microorganisms charged in the decomposition tank (300) are stirred while being mixed with each other. Here, the water supply means (340) can be adjusted so that it can be supplied at intervals determined by the circuit configuration of the circuit board (520) (for example, once every 30 minutes for 30 seconds). The stirring means (400) can also be adjusted to rotate at a fixed time (for example, once every 30 minutes for 30 seconds).

  Garbage decomposed by the microorganisms cultivated in the microorganism incubator (320) at the same time as being stirred in the decomposition tank (300) by controlling the circuit board (520) thus configured is about one day. It becomes about 2kg. Then, the water that flows out while being stirred in the decomposition tank (300) flows into the drain tank (360) and is temporarily stored, and the temporarily stored water is the second of the drain tank (360). It is guided through the discharge port (362) and discharged to the outside.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, when the operation of the garbage disposal device including the septic tank (380) is seen, the water flowing out from the decomposition tank (300) by the stirring action of the decomposition tank (300) It is stored in the septic tank (380). If it becomes like this, the water purified through the purification means (382) of the purification tank (380) will be discharged to the outside through the second outlet (388) and cannot be purified by the purification means (382). The sewage is sucked into the suction input of the circulation pump (386) and supplied to the decomposition tank (300) through the water supply means (340) through the circulation pipe (384).

  The sewage supplied to the decomposition tank (300) again flows into the septic tank (380) by the stirring action of the decomposition tank, and the sewage flowing in this way is purified by the purification means (382) and discharged to the outside. The sewage that could not be purified in this process repeats the process of being supplied to the decomposition tank (300) via the circulation pipe (384) again.

  The present invention has been described in detail with reference to a specific embodiment. However, this is for the purpose of specifically explaining the present invention, and the garbage processor according to the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. Of course, those skilled in the art can make modifications and improvements within the scope of the present invention.
