The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for supplying microorganisms to a food waste crusher for a sink, and more particularly, to a bad smell generated during a process of treating food waste generated at home, a restaurant, a restaurant, etc. using a food waste crusher for a sink. The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for supplying microorganisms of a food waste crusher for a sink to effectively treat odors and blockages in a drainage path.

In general, a variety of food waste disposal devices for sinks installed under the sink are being developed in order to finely crush food waste generated at home or a restaurant and then discharge it to the outside through a drain pipe. Regarding the food waste treatment apparatus, Korean Patent Application Publication No. 1998-038188 "Food waste press-separation collection device and fertilizer and feeder device which can attach and detach a sink stand", Korean Utility Model Publication No. 1999-001180 " Food waste crushing separator ", Published Utility Model Publication No. 1998-032129" Think waste (food waste) automatic processor ", Registered Patent Publication No. 10-0292430" Food waste disposal device for kitchen ", Registered Utility Model Publication Announcement No. 20-0192950 "Food Waste Treatment Device for Sink", Registration Utility Model Publication, etc. No. No. 20-0241647 can "sink food waste grinding and dehydrating unit for" and Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 10-2005-0099423 call such as "food processing apparatus" is proposed.

The proposed food waste treatment device for the sink is installed on the drain hole of the sink to accommodate food waste through the drain, and after crushing the food waste by using a grinding blade rotated by a motor, the waste is discharged to the outside through the drain pipe. Have a food waste shredder for the sink. Such a food waste shredder for sinks handles food waste conveniently, but since the food waste is discharged to the outside as it is in a crushed state, the amount of waste cannot be reduced, so it is a source of water pollution and the fundamental water environment. The problem is that pollution cannot be prevented.

In order to solve this problem, the technology to improve the treatment effect of food waste by crushing food waste and adding microorganisms to it is Korean Registered Utility Model Publication No. 20-0338258 "Food waste treatment using microorganisms Device ", Published Patent Publication No. 10-2005-0036834" Food waste treatment device using microorganisms "and Registration Utility Model Publication No. 20-0410491" Food waste crushing device for a sink using microorganisms " The present inventors have proposed Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0410491, "Food waste shredding device for a sink using microorganisms" as shown in FIG. 1, and improved the application technology to obtain a patent application No. 10-2006- 0095858 "Sink substitute food waste disposal device" has been proposed.
