Description

Food processing device for sinks {FOOD GARBAGE DISPOSER FOR SINK}

The present invention relates to a food processing apparatus for a sink, and more particularly, the water to be drained by the food waste, which is hardened without being discharged to the outside at the end of the screw to which the crushed and crushed food waste is transported, acts as a stopper. The present invention relates to a food processing apparatus for a sink that blocks inflow into a storage tank and minimizes the occurrence of odors.

In general, food sinks are generated in the sink in the process of draining after washing dishes. For this reason, the sink is equipped with a food processing apparatus so that the food waste can be crushed and crushed and disposed of.

Patent Document 1 discloses such a conventional food waste treatment apparatus for a sink. In the conventional food waste treatment apparatus for sinks, in the food waste treatment apparatus for sinks, the food waste input unit 20 discharges water through the net 21 and the interior of the food waste in the state in which the door 22 is closed. Food waste may be accommodated in a space, and the door 22 installed at the bottom of the food waste injecting unit 20 may be selectively opened and closed to move food waste to the treatment tank 10, and the housing ( 31, a discharge port 31a for discharging the water supplied from the food waste input unit 20 to the outside is formed on one side of the bottom portion, and the air flow generating device 42 has an outer heating plate 42a and an inner side thereof. Cooling plate (42b) is composed of a cooling heating device is integrated, the lower portion of the drying cylinder 41 is installed that the rotary plate 45 that can rotate the drying cylinder 41 through the operation of the motor 44 It features.

However, such a conventional food processing apparatus has the following problems.

1) Since sewage flows into the screw for transporting food waste, the waste water flows into the food storage tank, causing the food waste to spoil quickly or give off a bad smell.

2) This action is exacerbated, especially if only the sewage from the sink is generated because more of the sewage flows directly into the food reservoir.

3) Inundation of sewage into food storage tanks not only promotes food decay, but also acts as a factor that can contaminate the kitchen environment due to the occurrence of odors.

4) In order to remove these factors, it was necessary to have a valve means to prevent sewage from flowing into screws when only sewage was used. However, the new valve means was not only complicated in structure but also increased the manufacturing cost accordingly.

1 is a cross-sectional view showing the overall configuration of a food processing apparatus for a sink according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Here, reference numeral "C" denotes a chunk which is a mass formed by solidification of food waste.

Food processing apparatus 1000a according to the first embodiment includes: a food processor 100 mounted on a drain hole formed at the bottom of a sink to crush and crush food waste discharged together with sewage to separate the sewage and food waste into sewage and food waste; And a food storage tank 200 mounted on the food processor 100 to store food waste from which sewage is separated.

In particular, the food processor 100 is provided with a transport screw 110 to be sent by pressing in sending food to the food storage tank 200, the transport screw 110 is pressurized food waste (chunk) toward the outlet side Is not completely discharged to act as a valve.

Hereinafter, this configuration will be described in more detail as follows.

The food processor 100 uses one manufactured by a conventional technique capable of pressurizing and discharging food waste from which sewage is separated by a transfer screw 110 method.

At this time, the conveying screw 110 is pressurized by rotating the screw, and some of the food waste that exits to the outlet side block the outlet side in a lump (chunk (C)) state to act as a stopper.

To this end, the control time may be controlled when the transfer screw 110 is controlled, but it is preferable to allow the chunk C to be formed through the length and shape of the screw and the screw tube 111 surrounding the screw.

For example, in order to allow the chunk C to be produced, the outlet end of the screw tube 111 is made relatively smaller than the diameter of the screw blade so that the amount of food wastes escaping there is not always high. A certain amount of chunks (C) remain inside the outlet side of (111). As another example, by making the conveying screw 110 in the form of a spiral that the diameter of the screw blades decreases toward the outlet side, the chunk (C) is formed as the pressure applied to the food waste increases toward the outlet side of the screw tube 111 do. In addition, it is achieved by forming the length of the screw tube 111 to extend a little longer than the length of the screw. Further, by placing a predetermined space between the tip of the blade and the outlet side while the screw blades gradually increase toward the outlet side, the chunk C may be formed while the food waste pressurized in the space is filled.

The food processing apparatus 1000a according to the first embodiment made as described above is to pressurize the food waste dropped in the food processor 100 and drop the food waste into the food storage tank 200. If it is not left because it is no longer pressurized because the chunk (C) is formed on the exit side of the transfer screw (110).

At this time, the chunk (C) serves as a valve to prevent the odor generated from the food storage tank 200 to flow back toward the food processor 100 through the transfer screw (110).

On the other hand, the chunk (C) when the food waste is processed again through the food processor 100, when the food waste is backed down by the sewage, etc. generated at this time and the transfer screw 110 is operated, the newly pressurized food waste chunk ( While pushing C) is to be dropped into the food storage tank 200 through the outlet side.

The plastic bag 112 is further configured.

At this time, the screw tube 111 is formed so that the outlet side is extended to the inside of the food storage tank 200, most preferably formed to extend to the center portion food waste dropping to the center portion of the food storage tank 200. To be.

In addition, it is preferable that the outlet side of the screw tube 111 is formed to face downward so that the vinyl bag 112 to be described later can be easily mounted.

In addition, the vinyl bag 112 may be manufactured by a conventional technique, the vinyl bag 112 is mounted on the outlet side of the transfer screw 110, which is the end of the screw pipe (111). At this time, the rubber band or the bracket is used to prevent entry and exit of air as much as possible between the screw tube 111 and the plastic bag 112.

And, the vinyl bag 112 is mounted in a state in which air is discharged as much as possible mounted on the screw tube 111, so that the inlet portion of the vinyl bag 112 is kept closed by the chunk (C), and so on. Through the transfer screw 110 it is possible to obtain an effect of preventing the food processor 100, and further spread to the kitchen.

Here, as the electrothermal catalyst 211, it is preferable to use electrically heated catalysts (EHCs) that catalyze the supply of power. And, the electrothermal catalyst 211 is mounted on the lower portion of the food storage tank 200, and is generated as the food waste is dried to remove odor from the steam supplied through the induction pipe 214.

The odor removing means 210 is operated when the food waste transported to the food storage tank 200 by the transfer screw 110 is stacked by a predetermined amount. This operation, first, by operating the electrothermal catalyst 211 to heat the internal temperature of the food storage tank 200 to 70 ~ 80 ℃ to dry the food waste. At this time, the food storage tank 200 is made in a state in which contact with the outside air is blocked.

At this time, as the food waste is dried, the water is evaporated, and the evaporated water is transferred to the electrothermal catalyst 211 through the induction pipe 214 together with the odor components such as odor, so that the deodorizing process is performed.

Therefore, the structure is simple by using the small size electrothermal catalyst 211, it is possible to greatly suppress the generation of odor through the deodorization action with drying of food waste.

In addition, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the food storage tank 200 may ferment the food waste using microorganisms, etc., can also effectively deodorize the fermentation odor generated at this time.
