Description

Food waste handler

The present invention relates to a food waste disposal device, and more particularly, by separately producing a fermentation tank in which food waste is fermented, and using the fermentation product together to enable the cleaning operation by detachably installing the fermentation tank into a heating tank embedded in the main body. This is to make it very convenient.

In recent years, food waste accounts for about 31% of household waste, which has been increasing day by day. Efforts are being made to reduce the volume of food waste as much as possible, and in line with this, many manufacturers are selling food waste disposal machines that treat only food waste.

There are many types of food waste distributors that have been distributed so far. What is unique is that almost all products treat food waste by fermentation, and thus the basic construction is similar.

Then, as shown in Figures 1 to 2 described as one embodiment of any particular food waste as follows.

A lid 2 is provided on the upper part of the main body 1 so as to be openable and closed, and a heating tank 3 into which the fermentation aid and food waste are put is built in the main body 1, and the lower side of the outer side of the heating tank The heater 4 is installed in the heating tank 3 to heat the inside, and the stirring blade 5 is rotatably installed in the heating tank 3 to mix the fermentation aid and food waste. The driving body 8 is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft of the blade while being positioned outside the heating bath 3 to receive the driving force of the motor 6 through the belt 7 to rotate the stirring blade 5.

Therefore, open the lid (2) installed in the main body (1), put the food waste to be treated with the fermentation aid containing fermentation bacteria into the heating tank (3), then close the lid (2) again and select the fermentation mode of the controller In response to the control signal, the motor 6 is driven. The stirring blade 5 is rotatably installed in the heating bath 3, and the driving force of the motor 6 is applied to one end of the rotating shaft of the stirring blade 3. Considering that the driving body 8 is fixed to be delivered through), the stirring blade 5 rotates while the motor 6 is driven, so that the fermentation aid and food waste introduced into the heating tank 3 are reduced. It is mixed.

In this way, while the fermentation aid and food waste are mixed in the heating tank 3 as the stirring blade 5 rotates, the heater 4 installed on the lower side of the outer side of the heating tank 3 operates under the control signal of the controller. The heating tank 3 is heated, and an air supply device (not shown) operates to supply external air into the heating tank 3, thereby maintaining the set fermentation temperature and enriching oxygen. As the growth of fermentation bacteria grows, food waste mixed with fermentation aids begins to ferment by the fermentation bacteria. If the fermentation continues for a predetermined time, the food waste is changed to fermented fermentation products (compost).

Meanwhile, fermentation gas is generated in the process of fermenting food waste by the above-described action, and the fermentation gas exits to the outside of the main body 1 by the operation of the fermentation gas discharge device (not shown).

However, in the conventional food waste disposal system, since the heating tank in which the food waste is directly fermented is built in a state in which the food waste is not detachable, the food waste disposal unit only needs to clean the heating tank in which the food waste is fermented as necessary in the process of using the apparatus. In addition, there is a problem that the maintenance is not performed properly because it is impossible to remove the water, as well as to use the fermented product in a state in which fermentation is completely completed, if necessary, by using a separate tool. Because of the need to be pumped out in the heating bath there was also an inconvenience in use.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, cleaning the fermentation tank in which the food waste is fermented by detachably installing a fermentation tank fermenting the food waste into the inside of the heating tank built in the main body. The purpose of this is to make it possible to use the fermented product more conveniently.

According to the present invention for achieving the above object, the main body is provided with a lid open and close to the upper end, a heating tank built in the main body is heated by the heat of the heater, and detachably installed in the heating tank fermentation aid And a fermentation tank into which food waste is put together, a stirring blade which is rotatably installed in the fermentation tank to mix the fermentation aid and the food waste, and is rotatably installed on one side of the heating bath to receive the driving force of the motor. The rotating drive body and the rotary shaft of the stirring blade is fixed in a state positioned outside the fermentation tank so that the fermentation tank is coupled to the heating body in a state in which the fermentation tank is coupled to the heating tank and separated from the driving body in the state where the fermentation tank is separated from the heating bath Provided is a food waste handler composed of a passive body.

As a perspective view showing the driving body and the driven body constituting the food waste disposer separately, the present invention is provided with a lid 12 to be opened and closed on the upper portion of the main body 11, the heating tank 13 inside the main body 1 And a heater 14 is installed in the lower portion of the outer side of the heating tank to heat the heating tank, and the fermentation tank 15 into which the fermentation aid and food waste are introduced is detachably inserted in the heating tank 13. And a driving body 18 installed on one side of the heating tank 13 so as to receive and drive the driving force of the motor 16 through the belt 17, and the fermentation aids introduced into the fermentation tank 15 and Food waste The stirring blade 19 is rotatably installed to be mixed, and one end of the rotating shaft of the stirring blade is positioned outside the fermentation tank 15 while the fermentation tank 15 is coupled to the heating tank 13 in the driving body 18. In the state where the fermentation tank 15 is coupled and separated from the heating bath 13, the driven body 20 is fixed to be separated from the driving body 18.

The locking jaw 21 is formed around the upper end of the inner side of the heating bath 13, and the engaging piece 22 is bent around the upper end of the outer side of the fermentation tank 15 to heat the fermentation tank 15. The fermentation tank 15 is detachably installed in the heating tank 13 as the locking piece 22 formed in the fermentation tank 15 is caught by the locking jaw 21 formed in the heating tank 13 when inserted into the fermenter 15. Be sure to

Stirring provided in the fermentation tank 15 when the fermentation tank 15 is inserted into the heating tank 13 by forming a concave indentation groove 23 in a state in which the upper part is opened in both sides of the inner shaft of the heating tank 13 in the vertical direction. As both ends of the rotating shaft of the blade 19 are fitted into the recess 23, the fermentation tank 15 is correctly coupled to the proper position inside the heating vessel 13 and the fermentation vessel 15 is inside the heating vessel 13. When coupled to, it should not flow.

Further, a plurality of locking flaws 24 are formed on the opposing surface of the driven body 20 so as to form a circumference of the same radius, and a locking groove (on the opposing surface of the driving body 18 of the driven body 20). A plurality of bearing grooves 25 are formed to form a circumference of the same radius), and each bearing groove 25 formed in the driven body 20 has a ball bearing 26 with a spring 27 so that a part thereof is exposed to the outside. In a state in which the fermentation tank 15 is elastically installed and coupled to the inside of the heating bath 13, the ball bearings 26 installed in the bearing grooves 25 are fitted into the locking grooves 24, and the driven body 20 is engaged accordingly. When the fermentation tank 15 is coupled to the driving body 18 and the fermentation tank 15 is separated from the heating tank 13, the ball bearings 26 installed in the bearing grooves 25 are released from the locking grooves 24. Accordingly, the driven body 20 is separated from the driving body 18.

The present invention configured as described above opens the lid 12 installed on the main body 11 in a state in which the fermentation tank 15 is coupled into the heating bath 13 embedded in the main body 11. When the food waste to be treated together with the auxiliary agent is added, and then the lid 12 is closed and the fermentation mode is selected, the motor 16 is driven by the controller's control signal, and at this time, the motor is connected to one side of the heating bath 13. The driving body 18 is installed to rotate by receiving the driving force of the 16 through the belt 17, the stirring blade 19 is rotatably installed in the fermentation tank 15, the rotating shaft of the stirring blade Once the fermentation tank 15 is coupled to the heating tank 13, the driving body 20 is coupled to the driving body 18 and separated from the heating body 13 in a state of being separated from the heating tank 13. The motor 16 is driven As the stirring blade 19 rotates during the fermentation aid 15 and the food waste mixed into the fermentation tank 15 are mixed.

As the stirring blade 19 rotates in this way, in the fermentation tank 15, the heater 14 installed on the lower side of the outer side of the heating vessel 13 operates under the control signal of the controller while the fermentation aid and food waste are mixed. The tank 13 is heated and the air supply device (not shown) operates to supply external air into the fermentation tank 15. Therefore, the inside of the fermentation tank 15 is set by heat transfer according to the heating of the heating tank 13. As the fermentation temperature grows and the fermentation bacteria grows actively as fermentation temperature is maintained at the same time as the fermentation temperature is maintained, the food waste mixed with the fermentation aid starts to ferment by the fermentation bacteria. The fermented product (compost) is completely fermented.

On the other hand, if you want to use the fermented product obtained by the above action as necessary or when you want to clean the fermentation tank 15, the fermentation tank 15 should be separated in the heating tank 13, the purpose of separation after separation When the use of fermentation is complete or when the cleaning of the fermentation tank 15 is completed, the fermentation tank 15 should be combined again into the heating bath 13.

Then, the process of separating the fermentation tank 15 from the heating tank 13 and the process of combining the separated fermentation tank 15 to the heating tank 13 in detail as follows.

In the state shown in FIG. 3, when the lid 12 is opened and the fermentation tank 15 is pulled upward, the ball bearing 26 elastically installed in each bearing groove 25 of the driven body 20 is driven by this pulling force. Since the driven body 20 is separated from the driving body 18, the fermentation tank 15 starts to move upward while being separated from the heating tank 13, as it exits from each locking groove 24 of the 18. When the fermentation tank 15 moves upward while being separated from the heating vessel 13, both ends of the stirring blades 19 rotatably installed in the fermentation vessel 15 are vertically formed with the upper portions open to both sides of the heating vessel 13. Since the fermentation tank 15 is guided along the concave groove 23, the fermentation tank 15 is completely separated from the heating tank 13.

When the separated fermentation tank 15 is coupled to the heating vessel 13 again, both ends of the stirring blades 19 installed in the fermentation vessel 15 are vertically formed at both sides of the heating vessel 13. The fermentation tank 15 may be pushed into the heating tank 13 so as to be inserted into the concave indentation through the upper opening of the fermentation tank 15, at which point the outer surface of the fermentation tank 15 is moved at a moment when the fermentation tank 15 moves downward. As the engaging piece 22 bent around the upper end is caught by the engaging jaw 21 formed around the upper end of the inner side of the heating bath 13, the lower movement of the fermentation tank 15 is no longer performed. At the same time as the completion of the coupling 15 inside the heating vessel 13, the driven body 20 fixed in the state positioned outside the fermentation vessel 15 at one end of the stirring blade 19 is completed coupling to the driving body 18. do.

When the fermentation tank 15 is pushed to couple to the heating tank 13, the hem end of the stirring blades 19 installed in the fermentation tank 15 is vertically formed in both sides of the heating tank 13. It is intended to be inserted into the fermentation tank 15 so as to accurately enter the proper position of the heating tank 13 to be combined.

Then look at the process in which the driven body 20 is coupled to the driving body 18 when the fermentation tank 15 is coupled to the inside of the heating bath 13, when the fermentation tank 15 moves downward in the heating bath 13. Since the ball bearing 26 elastically installed in each bearing groove 25 of the driven body 20 by the spring 27 is partially exposed to the outside, the externally exposed portion of the ball bearing is driven by the driven body 20 of the driving body 18. ) As the ball bearing 26 is pushed into the bearing groove 25 as it comes into contact with the opposing surface, the ball bearing 26 springs at the moment when the driven body 20 coincides with the driving body 18. Received by the restoring force of the (27) while being exposed to the outside is fitted into each of the engaging grooves 24 of the drive 18 and accordingly the driven body 20 is coupled to the drive body 18, the driven body 20 It is possible to transmit the rotational force of the drive body 18 to the stirring blade (19).

In the above-described movement of the fermenter 15 in the lower state of the driven body 20 in the state opposite to the driving body 18 in each bearing groove 25 and the driving body 18 formed in the driven body 20 If the formed engaging grooves 24 are not located on the same horizontal line as each other, the outer exposed portions of the ball bearings 26 installed in the bearing grooves 25 are not fitted into the engaging grooves 24, so that the fermentation tank 15 is Even though the heating vessel 13 is coupled, the driven body 20 is not coupled to the driving body 18. At this time, the user stirs the stirring blade 19 rotatably installed in the fermentation tank 15. If the throwing direction is slightly rotated, the bearing grooves 25 formed in the driving body 18 and the bearing grooves 25 formed in the driven body 20 form the circumference of the same radius. And the engaging groove 24 is positioned on the same horizontal line at any moment, so that each bearing groove 25 Deployed ball bearing 26, it is possible to understand the take doemeun installed in the engaging groove 24 toward the outside for removal by the restoring force of the spring 27.

As described above, in the present invention, since the fermentation tank in which food waste is substantially added and fermented inside the heating tank built in the main body is detachably installed, the fermentation tank is heated for cleaning or when the fermented product is to be used. After separation from the tank and after the cleaning operation and the use of the fermentation, the fermentation tank is combined with the heating tank again, so the maintenance and use are very convenient.
