More specifically, the leg 190 is an adjustment portion (not shown) formed in a cylindrical shape so that its center portion rotates and a support portion (not shown) in which an external shape is formed in a thread so that the adjustment portion rotates inside the adjustment portion. By being configured, the height of the leg 190 is determined by the rotation of the control unit so that the height can be adjusted to the height of each sink stand in which the food waste processor is installed.

Hereinafter will be described the action of the food waste processor configured as described above.

First, when the user opens the cover 420 of the food input unit 400 and puts food waste into the inlet 440, the food waste flows downward to each flow piece 540 of the odor backflow preventing cap 500. It is opened and put into the container (200). When the food waste is put into the container 200 and accommodated as described above, the user operates the operation button 422a of the operation unit 422.

At this time, the state in which the cover 420 and the door 180 is closed and the micro switch (not shown) for detecting whether the container 200 is mounted, that is, the cover 420 and the door 180 are closed. When it is detected that the state and the container 200 is mounted, the food waste processor operates according to the signal of the operation button 422a.

When power is applied to the food waste processor according to the signal of the operation button 422a, the agitation motor 320 of the agitation assembly 300 and the air supply motor (not shown) and the heater 620 of the air supply assembly 600 are provided. And the exhaust motor (not shown) of the exhaust assembly 700 is operated at the same time.

Then, the rotary blade 340 connected to the stirring motor 320 is rotated to rotate the stirring blade 360 of the container 200 to agitate the food waste at the same time the air supply connected to the air supply motor The fan 640 is rotated to supply the heat emitted from the heater 620 to the container 200 to evaporate the moisture of the food waste that is stirred in the container 200.

In addition, at the same time the exhaust fan 720 is connected to the exhaust motor (not shown) is rotated to suck the smell of food waste generated in the container (200). Therefore, the smell of food waste sucked into the exhaust fan 720 is guided to the exhaust port (not shown) by blowing the exhaust fan 720, and the smell of food waste introduced into the exhaust port is provided in the exhaust port. Purified by clean air while passing through the filter is discharged to the outside of the building through the sewage pipe (not shown) of the sink.

Here, the stirring motor 320 can be adjusted by setting the rotation period in the main circuit (not shown) provided on one side of the outer case 100. That is, the stirring motor 320 uses a motor that rotates at a low speed because it provides a rotational power for stirring the food waste containing water, such a rotation period is operated for 30 minutes to rotate at low speed and 30 minutes It can be configured to operate in alternating state by stopping.

In addition, the heater 620, the air supply motor and the exhaust motor detect the load change amount of the stirring motor 320 in the main circuit to reduce the load to some extent (for example, 80% of the initial load) to supply the power supply It may be configured to stop the operation to stop, and also installed a humidity sensor (not shown) in the exhaust port to check the amount of moisture discharged from the food waste or weight (Weight) on the lower side of the container 200 By installing a sensor (not shown) to measure the reduced weight may be configured to block the operation of the heater 620, the air supply motor and the exhaust motor.

That is, the humidity sensor and the waiter sensor when the detected humidity and weight drops about 60% to 70% of the initial humidity or the initial weight, the humidity and weight value is transmitted to the main circuit and the main circuit by the information thus transmitted. In order to block the operation of the heater 620 and the air supply motor and the exhaust motor.

As the moisture contained in the food waste is reduced due to the hot air supply of the air supply assembly 600 and the stirring action of the stirring assembly 300, the weight of the food waste loaded into the container 200 is reduced once a week. The door 180 may be opened and emptied about two to two times.
Hereinafter, a process of mounting the container 200 drawn out to the outside of the food waste processor as shown in FIG. 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

The lower surface of the container 200 is located above the inner bottom surface of the food waste processor so that the rotary blade 340 and the stirring blade 360 are spaced apart from each other.
When the container 200 is pushed further to the rear, the rear end of the mounting protrusion 240 rotates the mounting roll 160 in contact with the mounting roll 160, and in rolling motion of the mounting roll 160. By this, the container 200 is easily retracted.
Then, when the container 200 is moved backward by the rolling motion of the mounting roll 160, the mounting protrusion 240 is inserted into the mounting groove 140 to the front / rear flow of the container 200 It will be limited, the stirring blade 360 and the rotary blade 340 is in a state capable of interlocking with each other.
If you want to empty the food waste inside the container 200, the container handle 260 is gripped and pulled forward. In this case, the front surface of the mounting protrusion 240 and the mounting roll 160 is in contact with each other, and the mounting protrusion 240 is guided upward by the rolling motion of the mounting roll 160 to withdraw the container 200. It can be facilitated.

The scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-exemplified embodiments, and many other modifications based on the present invention may be made by those skilled in the art within the above technical scope.

For example, in the above, the food waste processor is described as being installed in the sink of the kitchen by forming a screw thread in the input case 460, but it can be used separately by providing a food waste processor on one side of the existing sink. It is self-evident.

As described in detail above, the food waste processor according to the present invention includes a stirring assembly for stirring food waste in a container, an air supply assembly for providing heat to the container, an exhaust assembly for discharging the smell of the container, and an odor generated from the container. It consists of odor backflow prevention cap to prevent the backflow of.
