The present invention relates to a drying chamber provided in an apparatus for processing food waste, and more particularly, to a food waste processing apparatus capable of shortly drying time by quickly discharging water vapor generated during drying of food waste put into a drying space to the outside. It relates to a drying chamber.

In general, food waste is treated by fermentation, incineration, feed and fertilizer (compost), and landfilling. However, the above-mentioned methods are used for large-scale facilities. Not only is it necessary, it also causes various side effects such as odor or discomfort resulting from collection, transportation or storage and serious social problems such as environmental pollution.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to reduce the environmental pollution caused by food waste and recycle.

On the other hand, although the current total number of households exceeded 10 million households, the measures and results for the disposal of food waste related to environmental pollution have not yet reached much expectations.

The reason for this is that housewives are not able to separate the collections due to the lack of resources and environmental awareness. However, the main reason is that the current method of collecting and disposing of food wastes for recycling the general food wastes is by hand. This is because the food waste must be transported, which can be annoying to housewives and cause odor to give homemakers a sense of disgust.

Therefore, in order to efficiently control the generation and recycling of food waste, it is urgently required to develop a household food waste processing apparatus that can solve such problems.

In general, a device that treats food waste by connecting to a sink in a home can remove water from food waste through a series of processes such as dehydration, cutting, and drying, and can significantly reduce its volume by reducing its volume.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0503650 (Registration Date 2005.07.15) discloses an apparatus attached to a sink to treat food waste.

Such a conventional apparatus has an inlet through which food waste is input, a dehydration / cutting portion that compresses and dehydrates food waste while cutting and cutting it finely, and a rotating part rotated in one direction by a transfer part and a motor for moving the dehydrated and cut food waste to one side. It is composed of a drying unit for drying the food waste by removing the moisture by high heat while evenly dispersing and dispersing the food waste dehydrated and cut by the discharge bin and the discharge bin for storing the dried food waste.

On the other hand, the food waste introduced into the drying unit is evaporated moisture contained in the waste by the high heat provided from the outside to dry the food waste is discharged to the outside through the outlet.

At this time, the water vapor evaporated from the food waste in the drying unit is discharged to the outside through the inlet or discharge hole formed in the outer surface of the drying unit.

However, when food waste is excessively introduced into the inner space of the drum 41 above the standard, since the inside of the drum 41 is formed in a round shape, the food waste that is excessively introduced into the drum 41 is a discharge passage for water vapor. Blocking (42) prevents the external discharge of water vapor generated during drying smoothly.

In this case, the amount of water vapor remaining in the drum 41 is gradually increased, thereby requiring more energy in order to dry the food waste at high heat, thereby lowering the drying efficiency, This caused a problem that the time required to dry food waste becomes longer.

Therefore, the present invention is to solve the above problems, the object of which is to ensure a stable passage for the discharge of water vapor generated during the drying of food waste to the outside and quickly discharged to improve the drying efficiency, drying time To provide a drying chamber of the food waste treatment apparatus that can be shortened.
