Description

Food waste treatment device for sinks {FOOD TREATMENT APPARATUS USING BIO PE BALL}

The present invention relates to a food waste processing apparatus for a sink, and more particularly, in the decomposition tank coupled to the bottom of the sink, the food waste is agitated and pulverized at the same time and biodegraded into a high-density bio ball inoculated with microorganisms, leaving no residue of food waste. The separation valve keeps separation and air tightness and prevents backflow of traps so that the smell of food waste does not flow back.The rotary blade structure of the decomposition tank and the protrusions formed on the inner circumferential surface of the grinding plate make it agitated, crushed and decomposed. The present invention relates to a food waste processing apparatus for a sink to maximize efficiency.

In general, leftover food waste that is consumed at home contains a large amount of water, and if it is not immediately disposed of, the sink's drain and its associated drainage blockage, especially when these food wastes enter the sewer through the drainage. do.

Therefore, conventionally, after the food waste that has been consumed at home is filtered through a drain filter basin, the waste is disposed of in a garbage bag or the like.

However, food waste has a high volume of water, which is difficult to handle due to its large volume, and in the case of corruption, a large amount of leachate is generated along with odor, which is indicated as a major cause of environmental pollution.

Therefore, in order to reduce such food waste is to be collected separately at home or restaurants, but the food waste is not processed at home, the food waste is released in large quantities.

Recently, many food waste treatment devices have been proposed to remove moisture from many food wastes that are consumed and discarded at home or restaurants, and to reduce odor and at the same time.

For example, in Korean Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 10-2000-0072156 and Korean Registered Utility Model Publication No. 20-273554, food waste is crushed and dried through a screw conveyor type transfer means driven by operation of a reduction motor. It describes a food waste treatment device.

However, the food waste treatment device of the above-described patent and utility model adopts a complicated screw method, which is inevitably manufactured, which makes it difficult to use in general households, especially in general households in which small amounts of food waste are generated. There was a very uncomfortable problem.

In particular, such a food waste treatment device has a problem that is very inconvenient to use in a general household where a small amount of food waste occurs.

In addition, in the case of food waste treatment devices currently on the market, odors from unprocessed food wastes flow back to the kitchen due to backflow, and residues of food waste are discharged through sewers. There was a problem of clogging and secondary pollution.
