Description

Food waste handler

The present invention relates to a food waste disposer, and more particularly, to a food waste disposer capable of efficiently disposing of food waste by adopting a vertically squeezed portion, a crushing tank filled with water, and a forward / reverse rotation motor.

In general, various devices have been proposed in response to the purpose of using the food waste disposal system. In other words, a large restaurant, cafeteria, or a large restaurant has a large amount of residue, so a large food waste disposal system must be used.

Therefore, food waste must be disposed of by a large apparatus requiring large power. In addition, a medium food waste disposal device has been proposed. This is mostly used in restaurants, where the amount of food waste is not very high. There is also a small processor that is used every three to four days in a typical home. There are two household food waste handlers, one for power and one for no power.

The present invention relates to a large or small food waste handler.

Conventional food waste handlers are divided into various types according to their operation or structure or their attachment to other devices. For example, disclosed in Korean Utility Model Publication No. 86-2206, it is possible to dehydrate and filter the water contained in the food waste by using centrifugal force, and to treat it as 87-3018 in Publication No. 86-2206. Disclosed is a device for compressing and filtering food waste by using a screw.

In addition, the Korean Utility Model Publication No. 87-16049 discloses a waste shredder installed in a sink directly to treat food waste, and the one disclosed in Publication No. 87-19485 uses a rotary dropping method to remove waste or food waste. Patent Publication No. 92-4815 discloses a food waste using a screen.

In addition, various types of food waste disposal devices have been disclosed, such as a method of crushing dirt, a method of treating with a filtration drum screen, and a method of collecting a filth agglomerate having a filtration cylinder rotating device.

The present invention relates to a screw crimping method of the above method.

1 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic structure of an example of a conventional food waste processor. In this figure, reference numeral 30 denotes a crimping assembly 30, which ejection has a plurality of outlet holes 62 to enclose the conical screw 34 on the outer surface of the conical screw 34. A sieve 60 is provided, and a housing 70 is provided outside the discharge body 60.

On one side of the main screw 32 (the side where the residue is discharged), a conical screw 34 is provided. The conical screw 34 is made smaller in diameter toward the end. Between these main screws 32 and the conical screw 34, a cutting blade 40 and a porous plate 50 are provided as shredding means for crushing and finely crushing food waste such as a residual plate. Reference numeral 38 denotes a drain for draining water formed under the main body 36 of the crimping assembly 30.

The housing 70 is formed with an inlet 72 for introducing the feed water from the tap and the like at the top, discharge port 74 for finally discharging food waste at the center of one side, that is, the end of the conical screw 34 ) Is formed and a drain 76 for discharging the water separated from the residue and the like is formed at the lower portion thereof.

The two drains 38 and 76 are collected in the discharge pipe 80 by using suitable pipe means such as a pipe and finally discharged to the outside.

The conventional food waste disposal device having such a configuration is first crushed through a gearbox (not shown), and then the food food waste (residue) is introduced into the pressing assembly 30. Primary compression is performed in the main screw 32, and cut and crushed in the cutting blade 40 and the porous plate 50, and the second compression in the cone screw (34).

The food waste that has passed through the gearbox 20 and the pressing assembly 30 is changed into dried compressed food waste that is crushed and completely removed from moisture, and is discharged to the outside through the discharge port 74.

After the processing of the residue is finished, the supply water is supplied through the inlet 72 of the upper portion of the housing 70 to clean the food waste remaining on the discharge hole 62 of the discharge body 60. The supply water, which has been sent out at a certain pressure from the inlet 72, strikes the discharge body 60 and cleans the food waste stuck in the discharge hole 62. In addition, foreign matter, dirt, and the like after cleaning are discharged to the outside through the drain 76.

However, the conventional general food waste disposal device has a very small water dehydration effect in treating various food wastes containing moisture, and when waste stocking or a diaper is mixed in the stem residue or the residue, it is wound in a screw. There was a problem that the food waste disposer itself stopped.

In addition, in the process of injecting the residue, if it is put into the hopper, it should fall by itself and enter into the screw, but it only has to continue to hover from the upper part of the grinding gear directly below the hopper, and has the disadvantage of not being able to bite the residue and falling to the screw. Afterwards, the food waste disposer had to be cleaned, and this cleaning was possible only by disassembling the whole machine, and the inconvenience was incredibly complicated.

In addition, the food waste disposal system of one example shown in FIG. 1 has the following problems.

First, since food waste is not automatically drawn in when it is put into the hopper, it must be pushed with a stick or the like, thus increasing the risk of a safety accident.

Secondly, bones such as ribs are formed when gelatinous components are cut and fractured, and they stick to the blades and solidify, thereby closing the holes of the screws.

Third, since vegetables and the like contain fiber, they swell during cutting, forming a tunnel-shaped hole around the tm-crack when the screw rotates, thereby preventing the inflow of food waste immediately introduced.

Fourth, since the screw is arranged horizontally, the food waste contains water until the final discharge end, so the water compression rate is small.

The present invention is to solve the problem in view of the conventional food waste disposal device, the purpose is to install a crimping port to adjust the compression rate when pressing the food waste treatment and discharge the final residual moisture It is to provide a food waste handler that can.
