Description

A treatment apparatus of a food refuse}

The present invention relates to a food waste treatment apparatus, and more particularly, it is possible to easily process food waste by compressing and dewatering the food waste from a home or a restaurant and automatically discharging it, and to reduce the volume of the food waste. The present invention relates to a food waste disposal apparatus that can reduce costs and provide a comfortable living environment.

In general, households put food waste in plastic bags or plastic containers, and when a certain amount is collected, they are thrown away in a food waste collection box that is stored outdoors.

Households living in apartments also collect food wastes that day and throw them away into the food waste collection bins in the apartment complex.

However, food waste is a lot of water and easily rot at room temperature, causing odor. In particular, apartments have a limited indoor space, and if the food waste is not disposed of immediately, the odor vibrates, and the odor leaks to the outside (corridor, elevator, etc.), causing inconvenience to neighbors. It was.

Accordingly, a device for pulverizing food waste and forcibly discharging it through a sewer has been proposed, but a secondary environmental problem occurs such that a river is contaminated by crushed food waste, and a hot air is blown into a drying chamber to feed food. Although the method of drying the garbage itself has been proposed, this also has a technical limitation in miniaturizing the structure and low cost of power consumption, such as a heating device and a blower are required.

In addition, various kinds of household garbage from kitchens are compressed and pulverized, and dehydration is simultaneously performed in the process. Household garbage compression device for reducing odor, blockage of sewage pipes and sewage pollution has been proposed as Korean Utility Model Registration No. 109813 (Registration Date: Sep. 13, 1997).

However, the compression device is not only inferior in compression force but also has a lot of inconvenience in use because the user has to take out and remove the compressed food waste directly.

The present invention relates to a food waste treatment apparatus, which is capable of easily processing food waste by compressing and dehydrating food waste from a general home or a restaurant and automatically discharging it, and reducing processing volume by reducing the volume of food waste. On the other hand, it is possible to provide a pleasant living environment by suppressing corruption and odor.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a compression chamber provided therein, a food waste inlet is formed in the upper part of the compression chamber, and a drain hole is formed on the bottom of the compression chamber, and the cylinder is installed in a compression chamber of the cylinder. It is installed on the front end of the piston and the compression chamber, but the front side is inclined downward and pushed backward by the piston to open the outlet formed on the bottom surface of the compression chamber so as to discharge the dehydrated food waste when compressing the food waste by the piston. A tension portion for providing is provided.

In addition, in the compression chamber, a strainer spaced apart from the inner wall of the compression chamber by a predetermined interval is inserted and mounted to facilitate dehydration when compressing food waste by the piston.

In addition, the food waste inlet is communicated by the drainage of the sink and the connection pipe, the connection pipe is further formed without being accumulated in the sink drain and communicating with the compression chamber is further formed to communicate with the compression chamber.

And the food waste inlet side is further provided with a magnetic material to filter metallic foreign matter.

The present invention can easily treat food waste by compressing and dewatering the food waste from the general home or restaurant, and automatically discharge it, and reduce the volume of food waste to reduce the cost of treatment while suppressing the corruption and odor It is effective to provide a comfortable living environment.

In addition, the present invention is installed between the sink outlet and the drain, the food waste is input through the sink drain, there is an effect that is very convenient in use by discharging the sewage generated when the food waste is compressed through the existing drain.

In addition, the present invention has an effect that can be easily dehydrated from the food waste when the food waste is compressed by installing a filter net spaced apart from the inner wall and a predetermined interval in the compression chamber to increase the dehydration power.

In addition, the present invention is a separate conduit between the inlet pipe and the compression chamber is formed if the food is filled in the compression chamber water flowing from the sink flows between the inner wall and the network of the compression chamber to drain to the sewer side to prevent the accumulation of water, The effect is that the net can be cleaned.

In addition, the present invention has the effect that even if the excessive food waste flows into the compression chamber is compressed to maintain the stroke of the piston by the tension portion to prevent damage to the compression portion due to overload.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the food waste treatment apparatus according to the present invention.

1 is a perspective view of a food waste processing apparatus according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a food waste processing apparatus according to the present invention, FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a food waste processing apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. It is an operation state diagram of the food waste processing apparatus.

First, as shown in FIG. 1, the present invention compresses and dehydrates food waste and automatically discharges it, and can be easily installed between a sink and an existing sewer.

As shown in Fig. 1 and 2, the present invention is largely provided with a compression chamber 31 therein, a food waste inlet 21 is formed in the upper portion of the compression chamber 31 behind the compression chamber 31 on the bottom surface A cylinder 20 having a drain hole 23 formed therein, a piston 15 installed in the compression chamber 31 of the cylinder 20 so as to be able to move forward and backward, and a piston 15 which is mounted on the tip of the compression chamber 31. Tension part for opening the discharge port 24 formed on the bottom surface of the front end of the compression chamber 31 is inclined downward and pushed backward by the piston 15 so as to discharge the dehydrated food waste during compression (42,44).

In the above technical configuration, the piston 15 is for compressing and dehydrating the food waste introduced into the cylinder 20 through the food waste inlet 21 into the compression chamber 31 to linearly rotate the rotational force of the motor 11. Cranks 12, 13 and 14 are provided at the rear end for conversion. Of course, the piston 15 may be implemented to move back and forth in the cylinder by hydraulic or pneumatic in addition to the motor.

Compression chamber 31 is a place where dehydration of food waste is made by the entry of the piston 15, the sewage dewatered from the food waste is discharged to the existing sewer (not shown) through the drain (23) (not shown 4 It is a pipeline for connecting the drain 23 and the existing sewer).

On the other hand, the compression chamber 31 is fitted with a strainer 32 is inserted to facilitate the dehydration during compression by the piston (15). That is, when the edges are formed at both ends and a plurality of cylindrical sieves 32 in which a plurality of dehydration holes are drilled are inserted to be spaced apart from the inner wall of the compression chamber 31 by a predetermined interval, the food waste is compressed when the piston 15 enters. Sewage is discharged through the dehydration hole of the sieve (32).

The tension parts 42 and 44 are for opening and closing the discharge port 24 formed on the bottom surface of the tip of the compression chamber 31, and are composed of a tensioner 42 and a spring 44. That is, the spring 44 is embedded on the one end housing 45 of the cylinder 20, and the tensioner 42 is supported by the spring 44. In addition, the tensioner 42 is constrained to the tip of the compression chamber 31 of the cylinder 20 so that the tensioner 42 can no longer enter the compression chamber 31 by the outer protrusion 43, and the front face facing the piston 15 It is configured to be inclined downward.

Accordingly, even if the piston 15 enters the compression chamber 31, the food waste is compressed and dehydrated by holding up to a constant pressure by the elastic force of the spring 44, and then the tensioner 42 when the piston 15 continues to enter. ) Is pushed back and the outlet 24 is opened, at which time the compressed food waste is discharged. The reason why the front surface of the tensioner 42 is inclined downward is to allow the food pressure to be easily discharged by increasing the pressure of the upper side when the piston 15 is pressurized.

Thereafter, when the piston 15 is retracted, the tensioner 42 is returned to its original position by the elastic force of the spring 44 and closes the outlet 24. Reference numeral 46 is a lid for removing the components when cleaning or repairing the inside of the cylinder (20).

On the other hand, the food waste inlet 21 is communicated through the drain pipe of the sink (1) through the connection pipe (2), the connection pipe (2) is drained without accumulating water introduced from the sink (1) and the compression chamber ( A branch pipe 3 in communication with the compression chamber 31 is provided to clean the 31.

That is, when the food waste is filled in the lower portion of the food waste inlet 21, the flow of water is blocked. At this time, the water drained from the sink 2 is introduced through the branch pipe 3 to enter the compression chamber 31, It is discharged to the sewer through the drain 23. At this time, the water drained from the sink 1 immediately flows into the compression chamber 31 so that the debris of the food waste on the inner wall of the compression chamber 31 or the surface of the strainer 32 can be cleaned. The branch pipe (3) is provided with a net on its inlet side to prevent the inflow of food waste.

In addition, the magnetic waste material 5 is provided at the side of the food waste inlet 21 so as to filter out metallic foreign matter. This is to prevent the piston from being damaged by the metallic foreign matter during the compression action.

Reference numeral 50 is a sensor for detecting the position of the piston 15, for example, a limit switch. That is, when the piston 15 is set to reciprocate three times, as the cranks 12, 13, and 14 rotate one time, a change in electrical contact is output, and the controller (not shown) detects and counts this to reach a set value. The power of the motor 11 is cut off and stopped. Accordingly, the piston 15 is always in the home position after the operation.

Next, with reference to Figures 3 and 4 will be described the operation of the food waste treatment apparatus according to the present invention.

When food waste is put into the cylinder 20 through the food waste inlet 21, when the user applies power, the piston 15 reciprocates to compress the food waste, and in this process, dehydration is performed, and the sewage drain 23 Food waste is discharged through) and the dehydrated food waste is discharged through the outlet (24).

That is, when power is applied to the motor 15, the rotational force is converted by the cranks 12, 13, and 14 so that the piston 15 linearly reciprocates in the cylinder 20.

When the piston 15 enters the compression chamber 31 of the cylinder 20 in a linear reciprocating motion, the food waste is compressed and squeezed by the strainer 32 to perform dehydration. Sewage generated during the compression process is discharged through the existing sewer through the drain (23).

At this time, dehydration of food waste is made in the compression chamber 31, when the piston 15 continues to enter, the tensioner 42 supported by the spring 44 is pushed backward, and the outlet 24 is opened to dewater. Used food waste will be discharged.

Then, when the piston 15 is retracted, the tensioner 42 is returned to its original position by the spring 44 and the outlet 24 is closed. By repeating the above process several times, the food waste in the cylinder 20 is compressed, dehydrated, Will be discharged.
