Description

  The present invention relates to a garbage disposal device.

  In general households and restaurants, a large amount of organic garbage is discharged. Since such garbage contains a large amount of water, it cannot be incinerated, and because of its heavy weight, it is difficult to collect it. Even if incineration is possible, much fuel is consumed, which is uneconomical and difficult to burn completely. Also, when incinerated, a large amount of pollutants such as dioxin, which are known to have a fatal effect on the human body, are emitted. When garbage is landfilled, it is almost bulky, which causes a drastic reduction in the age of the landfill, and the generation of a large amount of leachate causes severe odors, causing soil pollution and water pollution.

  On the other hand, techniques for collecting garbage and processing it into livestock feed and compost have been actively proposed, but the collection and processing are difficult due to the large amount of water. In addition, the garbage must be stored for a certain period of time before it is collected at the garbage discharge area, but in this process, the garbage is spoiled or not completely sealed, resulting in foul odors and mold. It becomes a hotbed of bacteria and bacteria, and careless handling during collection causes garbage to flow to the surroundings, adversely affecting the living environment.

The second garbage processing unit 300 can further decompose garbage by supplying a microorganism or a microorganism culture solution to the product pulverized by the first garbage processing unit 200. The second garbage processing unit 300 can have not only a function of supplying microorganisms (or a microorganism culture solution) but also a function of independently crushing garbage.

  Below, each part of the garbage processing apparatus 1 which concerns on this invention is demonstrated in detail.

  The fixing unit 100 may be installed at a drain of the sink. At this time, the fixing unit 100 may be installed at the drain when the sink is manufactured, or may be installed at the drain after the sink is manufactured. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, a detailed description will be given focusing on a case where the fixing part 100 is installed at the drain outlet after the sink is manufactured.

  The fixing unit 100 may be installed at a drain of the sink. At this time, the inside of the fixing part 100 may be formed to penetrate, so that water and garbage can flow in from the drain port. In addition, a thread may be formed on an outer surface of the fixing unit 100 so that the fixing bracket 400 is coupled thereto. The bottom surface of the fixing part 100 may be formed to be inclined. In this case, food waste and water can be safely and accurately guided to the crushing housing 230 through the bottom surface of the fixing unit 100.

  The first garbage processing unit 200 can crush the garbage flowing from the fixing unit 100. The first garbage processing unit 200 may include a blade unit 210, a blade driving unit 220, a crushing housing 230, a fixing ring 240, a blocking plate 250, and a third sealing unit 260.

  The blade unit 210 is connected to the blade driving unit 220 and can be rotated by driving the blade driving unit 220. At this time, the blade 210 can crush the garbage. The blade unit 210 may include a first rotating unit 211, a fixed blade unit 212, and a second rotating unit 213.

  The first rotating part 211 may include a first rotating body part 211a, a first protruding blade 211b, and a first edge blade 211c. The first rotating body 211a may be formed in the shape of a circular plate. In addition, the edge of the first rotating body portion 211a may have unevenness. In this case, the edge surface of the first rotating body portion 211a can be formed into a blade shape to form the first edge blade 211c. There is no limitation on the shape of the first edge blade 211c, and the plurality of first edge blades 211c protruding from the first rotating body portion 211a are separated so that a groove is formed therebetween. It is preferable to arrange them.

  The first protruding blade 211b may protrude from the first rotating body 211a toward the fixing unit 100. In this case, the first protruding blade 211b may be formed by cutting and bending a part of the first rotating body portion 211a. The first protruding blade 211b may form an angle of 30 ° to 90 ° with the first rotating body 211a, for example, may form an angle of 30 °, 45 °, 60 °, or 90 °.

  The first protruding blade 211b may include a first inner blade 211b-1 and / or a first outer blade 211b-2. In particular, the first protruding blade 211b may include only one of the first inner blade 211b-1 and the first outer blade 211b-2, mainly depending on what garbage to be crushed is. For example, in a country that consumes a lot of vegetables such as kimchi with a high fiber content (eg, Korea), the first protruding blade 211b has only the first outer blade 211b-2, and does not have the first inner blade 211b-1. Preferably, the reason is that in the process of crushing the vegetables, the vegetables and / or a part of the crushed products of the vegetables are caught on the first inner blade 211b-1 and development occurs. This is because it may lower the overall efficiency or cause the generation of offensive odor or bacteria due to the residue of the first inner blade 211b-1. Therefore, in the present invention, the number of the first inner blades 211b-1 may be 0 to 8, for example, 0, 2, 4, or the like, and the number of the first outer blades 211b-2 is 1 Up to eight, for example, two or four. The first inner blade 211b-1 and the first outer blade 211b-2 may have the same size or different sizes. For example, the size of the first inner blade 211b-1 may be formed smaller than the size of the first outer blade 211b-2. Alternatively, the size of the first inner blade 211b-1 may be larger than or equal to the size of the first outer blade 211b-2.

  The first inner blade 211b-1 may be disposed closer to the rotation center of the first rotating body 211a than the first outer blade 211b-2. As an example, at least one of the first inner blade 211b-1 and the first outer blade 211b-2 is formed such that the width decreases as the distance from the first rotating body portion 211a (or the blade driving portion 220) increases. Can be done. As another example, at least one of the first inner blade 211b-1 and the first outer blade 211b-2 is in the height direction of the first inner blade 211b-1 (for example, from the blade driving unit 220 to the fixing unit 100). It is also possible for the width to be constant (in the direction toward). However, in the following, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that both the first inner blade 211b-1 and the first outer blade 211b-2 have a constant width in the height direction of the first inner blade 211b-1. The details will be mainly described. The first inner blade 211b-1 may be in the form of a square pole. In the case of the first outer blade 211b-2, the upper surface may be formed in multiple stages. As another example, the tip of the first outer blade 211b-2 may be formed flat. In the following, for convenience of description, a detailed description will be given focusing on a case where the tip of the first outer blade 211b-2 is formed flat.

  The second rotating part 213 may be disposed so as to face the first rotating part 211 with the fixed blade part 212 as a center. The second rotating part 213 may move with the first rotating part 211 by being coupled to the first rotating part 211 through screws, bolts, pins, and the like. The first rotating unit 211 and the second rotating unit 213 may rotate at the same or different speeds, and may rotate in the same direction or opposite directions.

  The second rotating part 213 may include a second rotating body part 213a and a second edge blade 213c. Optionally, the second rotating part 213 may further include a second protruding blade 213b. At this time, the second rotating body part 213a may be formed in a circular plate shape. The second protruding blade 213b may be formed to protrude from the second rotating body 213a toward the blade driving unit 220. The second protruding blade 213b may include at least one of a second inner blade (not shown) and a second outer blade (not shown). At this time, since the second inner blade and the second outer blade are the same as or similar to the first inner blade 211b-1 and the first outer blade 211b-2 described above, detailed description will be omitted. The second edge blade 213c may be configured to protrude from an edge of the second rotating body part 213a. In this case, a plurality of second edge blades 213c may be provided, and the plurality of second edge blades 213c may be arranged at an edge of the second rotating body part 213a so as to be separated from each other.

  The bearing 224 may connect between the crushing housing 230 and the first rotating shaft 223. At this time, the bearing 224 can rotatably support the first rotation shaft 223.

  The first oil seal 225 and the motor packing 226 may be disposed in the crushing housing 230 to seal between the first rotating shaft 223 and the crushing housing 230 or between the first rotating shaft 223 and the bearing 224. In this case, the first oil seal 225 and the motor packing 226 can prevent the water in the crushing housing 230 from being discharged to the outside of the crushing housing 230.

  The first cap 227 may be coupled to the crushing housing 230 to fix the first oil seal 225 and the motor packing 226. In addition, the first rotation shaft coupling unit 228 may couple to the first rotation shaft 223 to couple the blade unit 210 to the first rotation shaft 223. In this case, the first rotation shaft coupling part 228 and the first rotation shaft 223 may be coupled to each other through a separate member such as a screw, a bolt, a pin, or the like, and a thread may be formed on an inner surface or an outer surface. It is also possible to couple them together without separate members.

  The crushing housing 230 can be combined with the fixed blade 212. At this time, a space may be formed inside the crushing housing 230, and a first outlet 231 through which crushed garbage and water flow out may be formed. At this time, the first outlet 231 may be connected to the second garbage processing unit 300 via a pipe. At least a portion of the outer surface of the crushing housing 230 is formed to protrude, so that the fixed blade 212 can be hooked or the position of the fixed ring 240 can be fixed.

  The retaining ring 240 may be located inside the crushing housing 230. In this case, the fixing ring 240 may be formed integrally or may be provided in a plurality to be separable from each other. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the fixing ring 240 may include a first fixing ring 241 and a second fixing ring 242 formed and coupled to be separated from each other. The first fixing ring 241 and the second fixing ring 242 may be partially formed in an uneven shape. For example, the first fixing ring 241 may include a first insertion protrusion 241a formed to protrude toward the fixed blade portion 212. In addition, the second fixing ring 242 may include a second insertion protrusion 242a formed to protrude toward the fixed blade 212 side. In this case, each of the first insertion protrusion 241a and the second insertion protrusion 242a can be inserted between the adjacent fixed protrusions 212a.

  The fixing ring 240 includes an inner protrusion 243 projecting from the outer surface. The inner protrusion 243 may form a certain angle with the inner surface of the fixing ring 240. In particular, the inner protrusion 243 may form a right angle with the inner surface of the fixing ring 240. The inner protrusion 243 can efficiently pulverize garbage together with the first outer blade 211b-2. In addition, the inner protrusion 243 can also block a phenomenon in which garbage jumps up due to centrifugal force when the blade portion 210 rotates.

  The blocking plate 250 may be disposed between the crushing housing 230 and the fixing unit 100. At this time, the blocking plate 250 may be formed in a ring shape, and a part of the blocking plate 250 may protrude into the crushing housing 230.

  The third sealing part 260 may be disposed between the blocking plate 250 and the crushing housing 230. In this case, the third sealing unit 260 can prevent water and garbage from flowing out between the blocking plate 250 and the crushing housing 230. In particular, the third sealing part 260 can hermetically seal the space between the blocking plate 250 and the crushing housing 230.

  The fixing bracket 400 can be coupled to the fixing unit 100. The fixing bracket 400 can be screwed with the fixing part 100.

A plurality of locking protrusions 410 may be provided, and the plurality of locking protrusions 410 may be arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the fixing bracket 400 so as to be separated from each other. In this case, the locking projection 410 can support the fixing unit 100 by being inserted into a part of the sink or being hooked.

  The locking plate 500 may be disposed inside the fixing unit 100. In this case, the locking plate 500 may include wings 510 separated from each other. At this time, the wings 510 may allow an appropriate amount of garbage and water to enter the inside of the fixing unit 100. In addition, the wings 510 can also block garbage, odors, and the like rising from the fixing unit 100 and the crushing housing 230.

  The cover 600 may be selectively coupled to the fixing unit 100. At this time, the cover 600 may be coupled to the portion of the fixing portion 100 exposed at the drain of the sink to block the fixing portion 100 from the outside. At this time, the cover 600 may be fixed to the fixing unit 100 by various methods. For example, the cover 600 can be fixed by rotating on the fixing unit 100. As another example, the cover 600 can be fixed by simply fitting the cover 600 into the fixing portion 100. In the following, for convenience of description, the case in which the cover 600 is fixed by rotating on the fixing unit 100 will be mainly described in detail.

  The cover 600 or one of the fixing parts 100 may include a coupling protrusion 110 protruding from an outer surface. In addition, the cover 600 or another one of the fixing parts 100 may include a coupling protrusion coupling part 610 that is selectively coupled to the coupling protrusion 110. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the cover 600 includes the coupling protrusion coupling portion 610, and the fixing portion 100 includes the coupling protrusion 110.

  The connection protrusion 110 and the connection protrusion connection portion 610 may be formed in various forms. For example, the coupling protrusion 110 may include a thread. In this case, the coupling protrusion coupling portion 610 can be coupled to the coupling protrusion 110 by including a thread. As another example, the coupling protrusion 110 may include a protrusion in the shape of a quadrangular prism. In this case, the coupling protrusion coupling portion 610 may include a screw thread, a spiral groove, a spiral hole, a straight groove, a straight hole, and the like. At this time, the coupling protrusion 110 and the coupling protrusion coupling portion 610 are not limited to the above, and may include all structures for rotating the cover 600 and fixing the cover 600 to the fixing portion 100.

  The signal generator 710 may be disposed on the cover 600. At this time, the signal generator 710 can generate a signal externally. For example, the signal generator 710 may include a permanent magnet. A plurality of such signal generators 710 may be provided, and the plurality of signal generators 710 may be arranged to be separated from each other along a side surface of the cover 600.

  The sensor unit 720 may be arranged on an outer surface of the fixing unit 100. At this time, the sensor unit 720 may be disposed on an outer surface of the fixing unit 100 or the case 900. In this case, a plurality of sensor units 720 may be provided, and the plurality of sensor units 720 may be arranged to be separated from each other along the outer surface of the fixing unit 100.

  The first sealing unit 810 may be disposed between the fixing unit 100 and the fixing bracket 400. At this time, the first sealing part 810 can seal between the fixing part 100 and the fixing bracket 400.

  The second sealing unit 820 may be disposed between the fixing unit 100 and the blocking plate 250. In this case, the second sealing part 820 not only seals between the fixing part 100 and the blocking plate 250 but also blocks noise generated in the crushing housing 230.

  The case 900 may be fixed by being combined with at least one of the fixing unit 100, the crushing housing 230, the sink, and the blade driving unit 220. In this case, the case 900 may include an arm 910a on which the sensor 720 is disposed. The arms 910a may be arranged so as to surround the outer surface of the fixing unit 100. In addition, the circuit board 10 electrically connected to the first torque generating unit 222 and the sensor unit 720 may be housed inside the case 900.

  At this time, the case 900 may include a main case 910 connected to at least one of the fixing unit 100, the crushing housing 230, the sink, and the blade driving unit 220, and a cover case 920 for shielding the main case 910. In addition, the case 900 may include a lower case 930 disposed below the main case 910. At this time, various cables and the like can be arranged in the lower case 930.

  On the other hand, when considering a method of temporarily crushing garbage using the first garbage processing unit 200 as described above, garbage and water flowing through the drain of the sink pass through the blocking plate 250. It can enter the interior of the crushing housing 230. Thereafter, the user can drive the first torque generating unit 222 using a separately provided switch. As another embodiment, when the cover 600 is fixed to the fixing unit 100 by rotating the cover 600, the first torque generating unit 222 may be operated. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, a case will be described in detail focusing on a case where the first rotational force generation unit 222 operates when the cover 600 is coupled and fixed to the fixing unit 100.

  As described above, when the garbage and water enter at least one of the fixing unit 100 and the crushing housing 230, the user may couple the cover 600 to the fixing unit 100. Thereafter, when the cover 600 rotates, the coupling protrusion 110 can move along the coupling protrusion coupling portion 610.

  When the cover 600 rotates, the signal generator 710 disposed on the cover 600 can also rotate. In this case, the sensor unit 720 may detect a signal generated by the signal generator 710. Here, the signal generator 710 may include a magnetic material such as a magnet, and the sensor unit 720 may include a reed switch. In particular, in this case, when the positions of the sensor unit 720 and the signal generation unit 710 match, a signal may be generated in the sensor unit 720, and such a signal may be transmitted to the circuit board 10. As described above, when a signal is detected by the sensor unit 720, a control unit (not shown) provided in the circuit board 10 can determine that the cover 600 has reached the locking position. In this case, the control unit can operate the first torque generation unit 222.

  When the first rotation force generation unit 222 operates, the first rotation shaft 223 rotates, thereby rotating the first rotation body 211a and the second rotation body 213a. In this case, garbage between the fixed blade portion 212 and the first rotating body portion 211a may be pulverized by the first inner blade 211b-1 and the first outer blade 211b-2. In particular, when the tip of the first outer blade 211b-2 is formed so as to be stepped, the stepped portion of the first outer blade 211b-2 may not interfere with the inner protrusion 243. obtain. In this case, as the first rotating body portion 211a rotates, the garbage is extremely efficiently reduced by the groove and the inner protrusion 243 at the tip of the first outer blade 211b-2 formed so as to have a step. Well cut or crushed. As yet another example, when the tip of the first outer blade 211b-2 is flat, the tip of the first outer blade 211b-2 is raised so as not to interfere with the inner protrusion 243. The height may be lower than the height at which the inner protrusion 243 is installed. In this case, the garbage can be cut or crushed in the space between the first outer blade 211b-2 and the inner protrusion 243.

  The first inner blade 211b-1 and the first outer blade 211b-2 as described above may be arranged in different directions. For example, as an example, the first inner blades 211b-1 may be arranged perpendicular to the diameter of the first rotating body portion 211a. On the other hand, the first rotating body portion 211a may be arranged in the diameter direction. Further, the first outer blade 211b-2 may be orthogonal to the inner protrusion 243. In this case, garbage can be cut in various directions through the first inner blade 211b-1, the first outer blade 211b-2, and the inner protrusion 243. In addition, when the first rotating body portion 211a rotates, the garbage moves toward the fixing ring 240 due to the rotation of the generated water, so that the garbage is generated by the first outer blade 211b-2 which is larger than the first inner blade 211b-1. Effective crushing of garbage is possible.

  As another example, the first inner blade 211b-1 and the first outer blade 211b-2 may be arranged in the same direction.
