Of course, a separate coating part (not shown) may be provided on the curved portion of the valve part 185 to prevent damage to the valve part 185 due to frictional force generated when discharging food.

Looking at the operation of the axial valve discharge device 180 with reference to Figure 6 as follows. The operation of the axial valve discharge device 180 is based on a signal of a controller (not shown) when the food waste is dried in the food processor drying furnace 100. Normally, the valve portion 185 of the axial valve discharge device 180 closes the discharge port 114, but when the food waste is dried, the controller rotates the valve portion 185 by a predetermined angle (Fig. 6). ). That is, since the valve portion 185 of the axial valve member 183 has a semi-cylindrical shape, when the valve portion 185 is positioned in parallel with the periphery of the outlet 114, the outlet 114 is closed, but when rotated by an angle, the outlet 114 is opened. Done.

When the discharge port 114 is opened, the food waste moved by the rotational operation of the stirring screw 120 is discharged to the outside through the discharge port 114.

That is, when the cam member 189 rotates by a predetermined angle, when the protrusion 190 presses the micro sensor 173, the micro sensor 173 transmits a contact signal to the controller to operate the shaft valve member 183. Stop it. In addition, after all of the dried food waste is discharged to the outside through the outlet 114, the outlet 114 may be closed by continuously rotating the valve unit 185 clockwise (about 250 ° clockwise rotation).

In addition, when a large amount of food is caught around the valve unit 185, if the shaft valve member 183 does not operate, the micro sensor 173 may not detect the external pressure by the cam member 189 even after a predetermined time. In this case, by the controller (not shown), the valve unit 185 may operate in a direction in which food is not jammed, and then normal food may be removed. For example, if food is stuck in the clockwise opening operation of the valve unit 185, the controller (not shown) may release the food jammed state by operating the valve unit 185 in a counterclockwise direction.

The bracket part 174 is provided under the rear cap 155 of the drum part 110 and supports the micro sensor 173. To this end, the bracket portion 174 may be provided with a rib member, and the micro sensor 173 may be fitted to the rib member.

It may be further provided. In the case of the present invention, as the power transmission member, the support shaft 284 may correspond.

When the outlet 214 is opened, the food waste moved by the rotational operation of the stirring screw 220 is discharged to the outside through the outlet 214. In this case, since the valve portion 285 is sharply formed at both ends, it is possible to easily cut the dried food waste and discharge it to the outside. This prevents food waste from accumulating and prevents decay and prevents contamination of the drying furnace and damage to the drying furnace.

In addition, the rotary blade 223 of the stirring screw 220 is spaced apart from the valve portion 285 of the shaft valve member 283 so that the rotary blade 223 is rotated by the shaft valve member 283 when the stirring screw 220 is rotated. Since there is no contact with the valve portion 285 of), there is no fear of damage due to friction.
