Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a food waste disposal apparatus,

The present invention relates to a food garbage dispensing apparatus for a food garbage dispenser and a weight loss dispenser capable of grinding, drying, and discharging food garbage discharged through automatic settlement, and more particularly, And to provide the convenience of discharge and management, as well as to improve hygienic food waste collection, measurement of effective discharge weight, and introduction of stable food waste into a storage tank for crushing / agitating food waste. And a device for injecting food garbage in a weight reduction processor.

Food wastes that are discarded in general households or restaurants, food waste discarded during the sale and distribution process of various agricultural and marine products, households and restaurants, It is a socially big problem as the amount of waste is dumped in a dumpster, and the amount of it is rapidly increasing.

Currently, nationwide food waste collection system is a system for collecting food waste by using food waste collection containers, and paying the amount through payment certificate. In the case of a single house, food waste is collected in a special collection container If you put it in front of the house, there are ways to pick up the pick-up agents at dawn the next day.

However, the above-described conventional methods raise the following problems. First, there is a problem that the door collection method wastes collection time and manpower, and the collection cost increases. In addition, since the volume-based payment system through the payment of the amount of payment must be accompanied by the registration of the payment amount, the residents suffer many inconveniences due to frequent loss and loss of the payment certificate. Especially in the case of a single-family house, it is inconvenient that the exporter must keep the designated time and discharge it.

In addition, in the case of apartment houses, collective collection methods using a plurality of collecting boxes are used. However, complaints about the fairness of the handling fee are being steadily raised by imposing fees according to the total amount of garbage generated, There are many difficulties in systematically managing such as aggregation.

In the integrated collection method, it is difficult for a user or a service provider to determine how much food waste is discarded in a household, and therefore, it does not meet the government's policy demand for separate collection and reduction of food waste In addition, the efficiency of resource conservation is not improved.

Therefore, in recent years, the weight of the discharged food garbage is automatically measured, and the appropriate amount of the corresponding weight is collected by the automatic payment method according to the electronic system (credit card, RFID card or authentication number input) Lt; / RTI >

Since the collection cost corresponding to the discharge weight of the food waste can be accurately settled, the discharge amount of the food waste can be efficiently reduced.

However, in order to discharge food garbage, as in the above-mentioned food waste collection apparatus of the above-mentioned type, one of the registered food waste collection apparatuses of Registration No. 10-0841663 and No. 10-0949905, It is necessary to measure the quantity of the garbage collected in the garbage collecting device.

The measuring and adjusting means comprises a display unit having a card reader and a button for controlling the load cell to measure the food waste contained in the hopper to perform settlement, and a control unit for controlling each signal. The collecting means includes a hopper Or the hopper is rotated and collected in a collection bin.

The hopper for metering is provided at the upper part of the receptacle with an opening / closing means for dropping the garbage after the settling, Or rotation means for rotating the hopper 180 degrees. Therefore, the height of the opening and closing means or the space height for rotating the hopper 180 degrees is required at the height of the conventional receptacle, so that the food waste is substantially discharged to the existing receptacle And food waste is put into the hopper at a higher position.

Therefore, the elderly and children are very difficult to discharge, and when the food waste is poured into the hopper, it is inconvenient to be discharged into the outer case and become unsanitary.

The "food garbage collecting device" of Registration No. 10-0859012 and the "No. 10-0993983" "food garbage disposing ratio collecting device" are constructed by separating the food garbage measuring and accounting means and the food garbage collecting means, The food garbage lid assembly is configured to open the upper portion accommodating the receptacle and the deodorizer injector to remove the odor. Since the collecting means is separated, the height of the lid can be somewhat lowered, but the upper portion of the receptacle is always open. Therefore, even when the deodorant is used, a large amount of odor is rapidly discharged to the outside when the odor enters the food waste, Therefore, the use is avoided.

That is, the conventional food garbage collection devices have a structure in which a sterilizing lamp, a deodorant, a fermentation processor or the like is installed inside the container to remove the odor generated from foods contained in the container, but the upper portion of the container is substantially closed And thus it is difficult to suppress the generation of odor.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present applicant proposed Korean Patent No. 10-1020241, entitled " Food waste collection device and collection container lid device ", which is equipped with a door on the front surface and a cover A food waste to be introduced into the receptacle is weighed in the hopper, and the processing cost corresponding to the weight of the measured food waste is electronically settled through the display unit And a control device for controlling the power supply; A hopper for receiving the food waste introduced through the lid into the hopper to settle the processing cost corresponding to the weight of the food waste and then moving the hopper to the rear while rotating the hopper using a spring latching member to drop the food waste to the collection bin, Means; A lid drive means for actuating a lid divided into a first lid and a second lid which are folded and unfolded while being rotated so as to open and close the upper portion of the receptacle when the hopper moves or returns to the upper portion of the receptacle by the operation of the hopper transfer means; The detection sensor of the hopper conveying means, the detection sensor of the first driving motor, the cover driving means, and the second driving motor are connected to the control device so that the operation is controlled.

The above-mentioned food garbage collecting device and the collecting container lid device of the above-mentioned type are such that the hopper containing the food garbage moves while moving backward, and the food waste contained in the collecting container is collected by dropping it in the collecting container so that the portion where the hopper rotates is high, Therefore, there is no guiding part for guiding the food waste to be stably introduced into the hopper. After the weight is checked in the hopper, the hopper rotates on the cover side There is not a space for allowing the user to move to the rear side in the receptacle, resulting in a problem that the volume becomes large and the configuration becomes complicated.
