FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an apparatus for disposing of food waste according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention includes a refrigerating chamber 11 for storing food waste at a low temperature to prevent the spread of odors, A drying chamber (10) corresponding to a warm room for drying the food waste while stirring the food waste is formed right above the refrigerating chamber (11).

A refrigerator drawer 21 and a drying drawer 20 are installed in the refrigerating chamber 11 and the drying chamber 10 in a drawer manner so that a stirrer 30 for stirring food is installed inside the drying drawer 20 And a driving gear 16 and a driven gear 17 for rotating the agitator 30 are installed on the inner wall of the drying chamber 10. 1, the refrigerator compartment 11 and the drying compartment 10 are positioned inside the housing 56, so that the present invention is completed with a simple cubic body due to the housing 56. [

One of the characteristic features of the present invention is the assembled structure of the stirrer 30 installed in the drying chamber 10. 2A and 2B are perspective views for explaining the stirrer 30 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2A, the stirrer 30 includes a coupler 31, a rotating shaft 34, and a stirring blade 36 assembled together Is completed. First, a pair of couplers 31 formed with the fitting grooves 32 are rotatably fitted in the coupler assemblies 22 formed on both sides of the drying drawer 20. The rotatably fitted therein includes the use of a coupler 31 made of engineering plastic material with self-lubricating properties, such as a rotating means such as a bearing used for shaft rotation.

When the pair of couplers 31 are mounted on both sides of the drying drawer 20 as shown in FIG. 2B, the rotary shaft 34 is fitted to the shaft hole 37 formed in each of the two stirring blades 36. The insertion holes 35 formed at both ends of the rotary shaft 34 are assembled in the fitting grooves 32 formed in the pair of couplers 31 so that the rotational force of the motor transmitted through the coupler 31 is mixed with the mixture of the food waste To the rotating shaft (34) of the stirrer (30) installed therein.

After the fitting of the fitting hole 35 of the rotary shaft 34 and the fitting groove 32 of the coupler 31 is completed, the stirring blades 36 are rotated in the direction of the arrow So that the portion of the shaft hole 37 is forcedly inserted into the outer circumferential surface of the coupler 31. This allows the stirring vane 36 to perform the same rotational motion as the rotation shaft 34 without being idle on the rotation shaft 34 when the rotational force of the motor is transmitted.

As described above, since the agitator 30 can be easily separated by the user by assembling the agitator 30 to the drying drawer 20, the user can easily clean the drying drawer 20 and the agitating blades 36 And clean it.

2A and 2B, the drying drawer 20 is not fixed to the drawer receiver 24 provided with the handle plate 23 on one side, but is simply mounted on the upper portion of the drawer receiver 24, As shown in Fig. This allows the user to more easily remove the drying drawer 20 and discard the dried food waste.

In this case, the drying drawer 20, which is simply placed on the drawer base 24 so as to be conveyed at a predetermined interval, is fitted into the drying chamber 10 and then is firmly and securely supported by the vibration transmitted from the rotary motion of the stirrer 30, Means for assembling in the drying chamber 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B.

3A and 3B are perspective views for explaining the rotation of the stirrer 30 and the fixing means for the drying drawer 20 and the refrigerator drawer 21 in the present invention. First, a rotating force is applied to the stirrer 30 We will explain the means for giving. The driving gear 16 and the driven gear 17 are mounted on the inner rear wall of the drying chamber 10 as shown in FIG. The driving gear 16 is rotated by a motor and the driven gear 17 receives rotational force of the driving gear 16 and transmits rotational force to the coupler 31.

That is, the driven gear 17 is formed with a rotation coupling 18 protruding from the coupling groove 33 formed on the side of the coupler 31 shown in FIG. 2A. When the drying drawer 20 is inserted into the drying chamber 10 as shown in FIG. 3A, the connection groove 33 of the coupler 31 mounted on the side of the drying drawer 20 is inserted into the drying chamber 10, The rotational force of the motor is transmitted by the rotational force of the stirrer 30 by being coupled to the rotational connector 18 of the gear 17.

3A, on the inner rear wall of the drying chamber 10, drawer fasteners 14 are mounted on both sides of the driven gear 17, which are not fixed to the drawer receiver 24 and are transported at predetermined intervals in the forward and backward directions So that the drying drawer 20, which is simply seated to be able to be positioned in the drying chamber 10, can be firmly positioned.

 3A, the fixing ring 25 is integrally formed on one side of the drying drawer 20, and the fixing ring 25 is integrally formed with the drying drawer 20 in the process of fitting the drying drawer 20 into the drying chamber 10, The drawer fixture 14 is assembled as shown in FIG.

The drawer fastener 14 is configured such that a bracket 15 is formed at its upper and lower portions so as to be spaced apart from the upper and lower portions. When the fastener 25 is inserted between the brackets 15, The fixing ring 25 and the drawer fixture 14 are firmly assembled with each other by the elasticity in the part of the bracket groove 26 of the fixing member 25.

When a strong rotational load is generated in the stirrer 30 in the process of stirring the food waste, the drying drawer 20 is also rotated in the same direction as the stirrer 30 by being transmitted to the entire drying drawer 20 . 3B, the drying drawer 20 is formed into a drying chamber 10 by forming a "C" -shaped anti-rotation frame 27 on the rear surface of the handle plate 23, The drying drawer 20 is moved a certain distance on the drawer receiver 24 and the one side of the drying drawer 20 facing the fixing ring 25 is inserted into the rotation preventing edge 27 So that the drying drawer 20 does not move due to the configuration of the drawer fixture 14, the fixing ring 25 and the anti-rotation frame 27, I will keep it in place.

Of course, the configuration of the drawer clamp 14, the fixing ring 25 and the anti-rotation frame 27 is not limited to the refrigerator compartment 11 and the refrigerator drawer 21 having no rotating configuration such as the stirrer 30, Of course, can be constituted by a locking device.

Hereinafter, the principles of the apparatus for treating a cold garbage type food waste according to the present invention and the drying process of the food garbage will be described. The drying of the food waste through the present invention is carried out in the drying chamber 10 installed at the upper part of the present invention and the supply of the warming required for the drying is carried out in the refrigerating chamber 11 installed in the lower portion of the drying chamber 10 Waste heat is recovered and used.

The generation of warm air from the refrigerating chamber 11 is generated in the heat radiation fins 52 of the cold and hot semiconductor 51. In the cold and hot semiconductor 51 shown in FIG. 4, And is generally used as a semiconductor device which is divergent or radiates warmth, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The mounting position of the cold-temperature semiconductor 51 in the present invention is the rear of the refrigerating chamber 11 as shown in Fig. More specifically, the portion generating the cold air in the cold / hot semiconductor 51 is located inside the refrigerating chamber 11, and the radiating fin 52 generating the warming is installed outside the refrigerating chamber 11 to radiate heat efficiently Spread. On the other hand, an aluminum plate 55 having a high thermal conductivity is disposed inside the refrigerating chamber 11 so as to effectively diffuse the cold air to be emitted, so as to be in contact with a portion generating cold air in the cold and hot semiconductor 51.

The warm air emitted from the radiating fins 52 of the cold and hot semiconductor 51 is gathered in the composite duct 40 as shown in FIG. 5, and is guided through the intake port 12 of the drying chamber 10, (10). The composite duct 40 is installed behind the refrigerating chamber 11 and surrounds the radiating fins 52 of the cold and hot semiconductor 51. The mixed duct 40 is a heat exchanger for exchanging warmth (the waste heat emitted from the refrigerating chamber 11) And circulating warmth used in the drying room 10 for the inflow of outside air corresponding to the air and the drying of the garbage in the drying room 10. The three atmospheric flows are made flexible through the impeller 50 installed in the impeller chamber 41 formed at the lower center of the composite duct 40.

5, the first atmosphere is waste heat discharged from the refrigerating chamber 11 through the radiating fins 52. The first air is supplied to the supply port 42 of the composite duct 40 and the intake port 42 formed at the upper portion of the drying chamber 10, The waste heat is supplied to the drying chamber 10 through the supply hose 54 connecting the drying chamber 12 as an air for drying the food waste.

The waste heat supplied to the drying chamber 10 is discharged to the outside of the drying chamber 10 after the food waste is dried in the drying chamber 10 and then discharged to the drying chamber 10 through the composite duct 40. [ to be. 5, the circulation port 13 formed in the upper part of the drying chamber 10 and the circulation hose 53 connecting the inlet port 43 formed in the side surface of the impeller chamber 41 of the composite duct 40, The warmed air discharged from the drying chamber 10 flows into the composite duct 40 through the outlet port 40 and the introduced circulating warmth is supplied again to the drying chamber 10 by the rotational force of the impeller 50.

Also, the third atmosphere supplied from the composite duct 40 to the drying chamber 10 is outside air. An outside air inflow pipe 44 is formed on a side surface of the impeller chamber 41 formed at the lower center of the composite duct 40 as shown in an enlarged view of the inside of the inside of the outside air inflow pipe 44, The reverse plate 45 is mounted. This reverse plate 45 prevents outside air from flowing in only one direction and flowing backward. Therefore, when the impeller 50 is operated, the outside air flows through the reverse port plate 45 due to the suction force of the impeller 50 and flows through the supply port 42 for drying the food waste together with the above- And is supplied to the drying chamber 10.

A part of the above-described three atmospheres (waste heat, circulating warm air, external air) is discharged to the outside of the discharge port (not shown) formed in an opening state directly below the supply port 42 of the composite duct 40 during the supply process to the drying chamber 10 46 to the outside of the garbage disposal apparatus.

As described above, the present invention is meaningful in terms of reusing the waste energy by collecting the warmth discarded from the refrigerating chamber 11 without using any heat medium for drying the food garbage. In addition, since the food waste before drying can be kept cool in the refrigerating chamber 11, there is an advantage that the smell of the food waste stored in the room is not diffused.
