Description

Disposal device for kitchen food waste {.}

The present invention is to dry and easily handle various food waste generated in the kitchen, in particular, it is possible to dry the food waste in a short time to facilitate the circulation of hot air for drying food waste, it is possible to minimize the occurrence of odor A kitchen waste disposal device.

In general, various food wastes are generated at home, and since such food wastes are absorbed in water or have a high water content, they cannot be disposed of with general garbage, and thus, the food waste bags have to be disposed in a separately prepared food waste bag. It was black.

In addition, the food waste caused a deterioration of the environment of the kitchen that should be clean by various odors or bacteria generated as corruption.

Therefore, many methods have been devised to simplify the processing of the food waste, such as a pressing type for passing the food waste through the screw, a dehydration type for removing moisture by a rotating cylinder, and a dry type for removing moisture by hot air. Several methods have been developed.

As a conventionally developed method, the pressing method is to rotate a pair of screw shafts in the pressing chamber to remove water while the food waste put in the pressing chamber passes through the screw shaft, but the food waste is made of fiber like vegetables. If there is, overload occurs due to stagnation and cannot pass through the screw shaft, and failure occurs frequently. Also, since the passage part from which the food waste is pulled out from the pressing chamber to the outside is blocked by various food wastes, it is frequently checked or cleaned. There is a problem that must be done, and if a large amount of food waste occurs, the amount that can be introduced into the pressing chamber is limited, so it is inconvenient to process it several times without processing it at once, and bulky food waste If you have problems such as Was raised.

The conventional method of treating food waste by dehydration can handle a relatively large volume at a time and can be processed even when the volume is large. However, when the food waste is put into a dehydration container, noise is generated greatly. There was a growing problem.

The food waste treatment method by the crimping and dehydrating method has a large overall appearance and a large number of breakdown points, and in particular, it is not dried completely, so that it is dried by air forcedly circulated from the outside even after the crimping and dehydration process is completed. Separate means were needed.

Due to the above problems, in recent years, a dry method having a simple structure and no noise during operation has been widely used.

In this dry method, the food waste put into the drying chamber is dried by hot air supplied to the outside.

However, since this method removes water by hot air, it takes a lot of time to complete drying, and the hot air is rapidly dried, but the hot air is not dried.

In addition, the air inside the drying chamber is not easily leaked to the outside, and the odor generated when drying is leaked to the outside to cause pollution of the kitchen environment.

Therefore, there is a case in which a motor for outflowing the air in the drying chamber must be provided separately from the motor for supplying the hot air. In this case, there is a problem in that manufacturing cost increases, noise generation, and trouble spots are increased by separate motors.

The present invention has been researched and developed in order to solve the above problems, and when the food waste is dried by hot air, hot air supplied from the outside is vortexed to contact the food waste, thereby increasing the water evaporation rate, and the circulation of the hot air is drying chamber. There is a technical problem in that the drying is made in a short time to be evenly distributed in the container.

Another technical problem of the present invention is that the supply of hot air and the outflow of air are made by a single motor, so as not only to reduce manufacturing costs but also to minimize noise and reduce trouble spots.
