Description

Microwave Garbage Processor

The present invention relates to a food waste disposal device, and in particular, constitutes a food waste disposal device in which a food waste is evaporated and dried using microwaves while being pulverized and dried. The purpose of the present invention is to improve the thermal efficiency of evaporating and drying the moisture contained in the food waste by the processor, and to prevent or reduce the generation of odor while the food waste remaining in the food waste processor is decayed.

Conventional food processor is configured as shown in Figure 1 so that the user puts the food waste in the input tray (1), press the operation button, the food waste is transported along the screw (2) is pulverized in the grinder (3).

The crushed food waste is transferred along the transfer pipe 4 and introduced into the drying chamber 5.

Meanwhile, the drying chamber 5 into which the pulverized food waste machine is put is rotated by the motor 6 while being heated by heating the air introduced from the outside through the air inlet pipe 8 to the high temperature using the heater 7 to be crushed by hot air. When the trash is dried and the crushed trash is completely dried, the food waste is continuously crushed / dried in the process of discharging the trash from the drying chamber 5 by opening the door 9.

However, since the conventional food waste processor of this type is configured to heat both trash and water by indirect heating using crushed food waste, the thermal efficiency of evaporating moisture is low compared to the amount of heat input, and the drying time is long. There was a problem of lengthening.

In addition, the residue of the crushed food waste remains in the transport passage of the food waste, which causes odor.

In contrast, the organic waste treatment apparatus disclosed in Korean Patent Application Publication No. 94-13634 has a fermentation tank having an inlet and an outlet, a heat supply means by a magnetron, an exhaust fan and a gas discharge means including a deodorizing device. Devices are known for treating waste through fermentation.

However, the device has a disadvantage that waste treatment time is delayed and reliability is reduced by fermenting and treating the waste.

Another device was introduced in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-10738. This apparatus is a food processing apparatus which protrudes a processus | protrusion in a processing tank and raised stirring efficiency.

However, the above devices have a rectangular cross section of the drying chamber, and the stirring blade surface prevents the heating of food, and when the magnetron is applied, the microwave reflects microwaves and reduces efficiency, and the microwave pattern is also uniform. There is a structural problem that cannot be maintained.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, while the crushing and drying of the injected food waste is performed at the same time, the drying method uses a microwave generated from the magnetron to dry the food waste processing apparatus in the form of drying water contained in the food waste. It is in composition.

The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, a "food processor using a microwave".

In the food waste processor for evaporating moisture and drying food waste while crushing food waste as shown in FIG. 2, the food waste disposal machine crushes and dries the food introduced into the drying chamber 102 through the door 101 in the drying chamber 102. And a plurality of fixing rods 105 fixed at one end to a rotating shaft 104 vertically installed to be rotated in association with the stirring motor 103 so as to be made at the same time, and food waste fixedly fixed to the other end of the fixing rod 105. A plurality of agitating blades 106 to be stirred and a plurality of affixed to the inner wall surface of the drying chamber 102 such that food waste is crushed between the gaps with the inner wall surface of the drying chamber 102 when the stirring blade 106 is rotated. A cutter 107 and a magnetron 108 that generates microwaves as a heat source for evaporating moisture of food waste crushed by the cutter 107, and the magnet Deodorizer 109 and the discharge fan 110 to deodorize and discharge the odor contained in the water evaporated by the microwave generated in the netron 108, the deodorizing device 109 and the discharge fan 110 It is composed of a discharge door 140 that is opened and closed by the discharge motor 130 to automatically discharge the crushed / dried food waste through the discharge port 120 after completing the drying process by sensing the amount of moisture discharged by the sensor by the sensor do.

In addition, the rotating shaft 104 constitutes a shielding device 150 for shielding microwave leakage to a portion that penetrates outside the drying chamber 102.

Reference numeral 160 denotes a circular portion indicating a semicircular portion of the drying chamber 102.

The present invention configured as described above improves the thermal efficiency of evaporating and drying the moisture contained in the food waste, thereby quickly drying the moisture, and at the same time crushing and drying of the food waste introduced into the drying chamber 102 without going through the transportation process of the food waste. Since it is discharged after it is made, the amount of residues remaining in the food waste processor is reduced, and the residues are sufficiently dried to reduce rot or odor.

Here, looking at the operation of the present invention in detail as follows.

The user opens the door 101 and injects food waste into the drying room 102.

After the food waste is put into the drying chamber 102 and the door 101 is closed and the operation button is pressed, the rotating shaft 104 linked to the stirring motor 103 rotates to crush the food waste and is generated from the magnetron 108. Drying is started by microwaves.

At this time, the stirring blade 106 and the cutter while stirring the food waste into which the fixed rod 105 and the stirring blade 106 fixed to the rotating shaft 104 rotated in conjunction with the stirring motor 106 in the drying chamber 102 The food sandwiched between the gaps of 107 is continuously crushed.

As such a process is continuously repeated, the food waste put into the drying chamber 102 is dried while being crushed finely.

Meanwhile, after evaporating the moisture contained in the food waste in the drying chamber 102 by the microwave generated from the magnetron 108, the evaporated water is discharged to the outside by the discharge fan 110 through the deodorizing device 109. In this case, the discharged water is sensed by the sensor to continue drying according to the drying state, or to complete the drying process.

When the drying process is completed, the discharge door 140 is opened to the discharge motor 130 to discharge the dried food waste in the drying chamber 102 through the discharge port 120.

As another embodiment of the present invention,

As shown in FIG. 3, the overall configuration of the food waste processor includes a rotating blade 104 rotating in the drying chamber 102 in a horizontal direction in a state configured in the same manner as in FIG. 2 to rotate together with the rotating shaft 104. 106 was made to break between the gaps with the cutter 107 provided in the circular part 160 of the drying chamber 102. As shown in FIG.
