The present invention relates to a food waste treatment apparatus, and more particularly, to a food waste treatment apparatus for a sink that is improved so that the food waste discharged from the sink can be smoothly discharged without being deposited.

Food waste that is washed and discharged from the sink in a household or restaurant is contained in a large amount of water and is easily decayed, so it is prescribed to be separated and discharged separately from general garbage. Accordingly, a so-called disposer is provided with a pulverizing device at the sink outlet, and the food waste discharged from the sink is pulverized by a cutting blade rotated by a motor.

As an example of the prior art for treating food waste that is pulverized by the crushing device, a "food waste treatment device equipped with a purification tank" disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-0813476 is a disposer (D) as shown in FIG. Installed on the sink (S) adjacent to the septic tank (10), sedimentation chamber (20), microbial supply means so as to discharge the crushed food waste discharged with the water to the sewer after complete decomposition using microorganisms ( 30) etc., and the septic tank 10 is connected to the inlet 12 on the outlet D1 of the disposer D installed in the sink S. In the form of an empty hollow tank, a plurality of settling chamber 20 is discharged to discharge to the discharge port 14 in a state in which food waste is decomposed, and a plurality of food wastes are introduced into the settling chamber 20 when the food waste is introduced into the septic tank 10. By the plates 22 of each other It is a structure that flows down step by step while being stored at different water levels.

However, although the food waste treatment apparatus of the above patent is commercially available, a portion of the food waste pulverized by the disposer is deposited in a plurality of settling chambers 20 formed by a plurality of diaphragms in actual use, in particular, Food waste is not allowed to stay until it is completely decomposed by microorganisms, and due to the limited capacity installed in a narrow space under the sink, it is not possible to stay until food is completely decomposed by microorganisms every day. It will be forced out together. In addition, in the processing apparatus of the patent, food waste is accumulated from the first settling chamber to the top of the diaphragm, and then the food waste that is subsequently added does not flow and continuously accumulates thereon, so that the septic tank 10 accumulates pressure of food waste. There was a problem that the after-sales service request is generated in almost all processing devices due to the explosion of the cover.
