BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a food waste disposal apparatus for a sink, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for disposing food waste by a load cell in an environment in which food waste discharged from a sink of each household is collected using vacuum pressure, The present invention relates to a food waste disposal device for a sink and a food waste disposal system having the same, which is suitable for installation in a domestic kitchen sink, because the weight of the food waste can be precisely measured without any influence of vacuum pressure and installation space can be minimized.

Generally, a food garbage disposal apparatus refers to both of a collection or collection apparatus for treating food waste generated in a home or the like through drying, incineration, decomposition of microorganisms, or simply transferring the waste to an outside company for processing.

In the past, food waste treatment methods generally used at homes and restaurants were to separate food waste from water by using a sieve provided at the drain of a sink, and then to treat the remaining food waste by landfilling, incineration, or as feed for livestock . However, when the food waste is buried, the food waste filtered through the sieve filter still contains a considerable amount of water, which is easily corroded and generates a bad odor. In the case of incineration of the food waste, There is a problem in that incineration is difficult due to the positive moisture or the time required for incineration is long even if incinerated. In addition, when food waste is used as feed for livestock, it is very inconvenient for the movement, management, and use of food waste, and there is a problem that additional labor costs are incurred because such labor is required for such transportation and management.

Accordingly, there is a case in which a household food waste disposal apparatus is provided so that the food waste can be directly processed at home as disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2009-0065789. However, in the case of Korean Patent Publication No. 2010-0113848 (2010.10. 22, a technique has been disclosed in which each household of the apartment house can discharge food waste using vacuum pressure. According to the related art, when the food waste is inputted while the normal vacuum is cut off, the sliding gate valve having a knife for lifting and lowering by the cylinder is provided as an opening / closing device for opening and closing the food garbage, Installed.

However, in the case of the sliding gate valve, since the operating direction of the knife (or the opening / closing disk) is arranged in series so as to be in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder, at least the installation space for the series arrangement is needed. Therefore, there was a constraint in order to secure space for installation in the domestic sink.

In recent years, attempts have been made to measure the weight of food wastes to be treated and to charge the wastes according to the amount of food wastes. However, since vacuum pressure can not be completely blocked, accurate weight measurement can not be performed due to the influence of vacuum pressure .

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a food waste dispensing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention installed in a sink, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view illustrating the construction of a food waste dispensing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the apparatus for injecting the amount of food waste according to the embodiment of the present invention is installed on the side of the water table S20 where food waste is mainly generated in the kitchen sink S, connected to the branch pipe 210, A guide tube 120, a receiving tank 130, a load cell 140, a ball valve 150, an air cylinder 160, and a door assembly 170.

The apparatus for injecting the amount of food waste according to the embodiment of the present invention is capable of collecting food waste discharged in a small amount from the sink S in the house by using vacuum pressure, By utilizing the ball valve 150 for thorough shutoff, accurate measurement can be performed without being influenced by the vacuum pressure when the weight of the load cell 140 is measured. In addition, the installation space can be minimized by a simplified layout as a whole.

Hereinafter, an apparatus for injecting the amount of food waste according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the above-described components.

The housing 110 is provided with an inlet 111a and an outlet 111b through which food waste is introduced and discharged at the upper and lower ends, respectively. When the vacuum pressure is allowed by the ball valve 150, And an air intake port 111c for sucking air. Here, a guide pipe 120 for guiding food waste to the upper portion of the opening of the receiving tank 130 installed in the inlet 110a of the housing 110 is installed. The air inlet 111c of the housing 110 is provided with a rectangular frame 111 installed around the air inlet 111c of the housing 110. The air inlet 111c is closed inside the frame 111 by spring elasticity When the ball valve 150 is opened and vacuum pressure is applied from the branch pipe 210 through the ball valve 150 and the receiving tank 130, the ball valve 150 rotates against the spring elasticity, Closing member 112 is opened. The opening and closing member 112 blocks the malodor of the food waste generated in the housing from flowing out to the outside.

The housing 110 includes an upper housing 110a and a lower housing 110b formed with a charging port 111a and an air inlet port 111c for facilitating installation of the receiving tank 130 and the load cell 140, And a lower housing 110b having a discharge port 111b formed therein.

The receptacle 130 is installed inside the housing 110 and serves to temporarily receive food waste introduced through the inlet 111a of the housing 110. [ To this end, the receiving tank 130 includes a cylindrical body having upper and lower openings, and an opening / closing disk 131 for opening / closing the lower portion of the body in a casement manner. 3 and 7, the opening / closing disc 131 is coupled to the hinge 131a so as to be rotatable with respect to the lower end of the body. When the ball valve 150 is closed, And the ball valve 150 is rotated in a direction opposite to the elastic force of the spring 131b by the vacuum pressure when the opened air pressure is allowed, So that the lower part of the body of the bath 130 is opened. Since the receiving vessel 130 is supported by the housing 110 via a plurality of load cells 140 installed along the outer circumference of the receiving vessel 130, the rotation of the opening / closing disk 131 is prevented by the installation of the load cell 140 It is not disturbed. It is needless to say that, in the case of the opening / closing disk 131, a general method of opening / closing by an electric motor and a reduction gear or opening / closing by a cylinder may be applied instead of the above described opening / .

3 and 6, the load cell 140 is installed between the inner wall of the housing 110 and the outer wall of the receiving tank 130 so as to be coupled to the brackets 141a and 141b, 110 to support the receptacle 130 and to measure the weight of the food waste contained in the receptacle 130. [ A plurality of load cells (140) are disposed along the circumference of the receiving tank (130) to balance the receiving tank (130). According to the configuration in which the load cell 140 is disposed along the outer side wall of the receiving tank 130 but not under the receiving tank 130 for measuring the weight of the food waste put into the receiving tank 130, The number of the load cells 140 is increased, but the operation of the opening / closing disc 131 installed at the lower portion of the receiving tank 130 is not interfered with, and the path of the falling food garbage can be avoided And the layout is simplified for the entire device.

In addition, the housing 110, the receiving chamber 130, and the load cell 140 described above are preassembled in the form of a module as shown in FIG. 3 and are shipped as a slot assembly. This makes the installation work much easier in the field.

The ball valve 150 is installed to connect the discharge port 111b of the housing 110 and the branch pipe 210 to selectively allow the vacuum pressure acting through the branch pipe 210 to be blocked . In order to provide such a ball valve 150, it is not necessary to design or manufacture it separately, and it can be easily purchased on the market. 2, the flange formed on the discharge port 111b of the housing 110 and the flange formed on the branch pipe 210 are formed on both ends of the body 151 of the ball valve 150, It may be combined.

When the discharge port 111b of the housing 110 is connected to the branch pipe 210 using the ball valve 150 as described above, the vacuum pressure acting through the branch pipe 210 is transmitted to the rotating movement of the ball 152 It is possible to allow or block easily, and close to perfect close to the vacuum pressure becomes possible. Therefore, the load cell 140 can accurately measure the weight of the food garbage without being disturbed by the vacuum pressure when the vacuum pressure is blocked by the ball valve 150. As a result, a fair billing process becomes possible.

By using the air cylinder 160 and the connecting member 165, which will be described below, instead of a general electric motor for rotating the ball 152, the rotation angle of the ball 152 is limited to a certain range, Can be further increased.

The air cylinder 160 serves to open and close the ball valve 150. The air cylinder 160 is installed in the longitudinal direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the ball 152 so that the arm 162 of the air cylinder 160 and the ball 162 And the rotating shaft of the motor 152 is connected by the connecting member 165 to receive the driving force. 2, one end of the connecting member 165 is coupled to the end of the arm 162 so as to be freely rotatable, and the other end of the connecting member 165 is connected to an end of the arm 162 in a direction orthogonal to the rotational axis of the ball 152 Lt; / RTI > As a result, the connecting member 165 rotates in accordance with the forward and backward movement of the arm 162 of the air cylinder 160, thereby rotating the rotating shaft of the ball 152. The ball valve 150 is opened and closed by changing the rotation angle of the ball 152. When the arm 162 is advanced, the ball valve 150 is closed and when the arm 162 is retracted The ball valve 150 can be opened.

One point to note here is that the air cylinder 160 is installed in the longitudinal direction in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the ball 152 of the ball valve 150. According to such a configuration, it is possible to install the air cylinder 160 in a state of being adjacent to the outer surface of the housing 110, thereby minimizing an installation space.

8 and 9, the door assembly 170 is installed around the charging hole S10 formed in the top plate of the sink to open and close the charging port 111a of the housing 110. [ To this end, the door assembly 170 includes a door body 171 and an inlet door 172. The door body 171 includes an opening switch 173a formed with an opening corresponding to the charging hole S10 of the upper plate S and allowing the charging port door 172 to be rotated and audible, A control panel 173 including a display 173b on which the weight of the trash and the billable amount are selectively displayed. The inlet door (172) is hinged to the door body (171) and is provided with an elastic force tending to open by a spring installed near the hinge. When the opening state is released while the opening switch is depressed, And is rotated and opened.

Hereinafter, the operation of the device 100 for injecting the amount of food waste according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

When the user opens the inlet door 172 by pressing the opening switch 173a of the door assembly 170 installed on the upper surface of the sink S and inserts the food waste into the housing 120 through the guide pipe 120, (The lower part of the receiving chamber 130 is closed by the opening / closing disk 131) in the receiving tank 130 provided inside the housing 110,

Then, when the user closes the inlet door 172 by pressing the inlet door 172, it is regarded that the charging of the food garbage is completed, and the weight of the food garbage received in the receiving vessel 130 is measured by the plurality of load cells 140. At this time, the weight of the newly introduced food garbage is applied to the plurality of load cells 140 in a state in which the vacuum pressure is blocked by the ball valve 150, so that the accurate weight can be measured, and the weight of the food garbage measured by the load cell 140 The information can be transmitted to the controller so that it can be billed.

Then, the controller controls the air cylinder 160 to open the ball valve 150. The opening and closing member 112 installed at the air inlet 111c of the housing 110 and the opening and closing disc 131 installed at the lower end of the receiving tank 130 while permitting the vacuum pressure blocked by the ball valve 150 It is opened by vacuum pressure. At the same time, air is sucked through the air intake port 111c of the housing and flows through the air intake port 111c of the housing 110, the receiving tank 130, the ball valve 150 and the branch pipe 210, The food waste contained in the receiving tank 130 is quickly discharged to the branch pipe 210. [

The controller then controls the air cylinder 160 to close the ball valve 150. Then, the vacuum pressure is shut off so that the opening and closing member 112 and the opening / closing disc 131 are closed, and the state is switched to a standby state in which food waste can be injected again.

A food garbage disposal system having a device for injecting the amount of food waste according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described.

FIG. 10 is an overall configuration diagram of a food waste disposal system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 11 is a partial structural diagram for explaining a configuration for processing food waste in a food waste disposal system according to an embodiment of the present invention And FIG. 12 is a partial block diagram for explaining a configuration for processing food waste in the food waste disposal system according to the embodiment of the present invention. And FIG. 13 is a block diagram for explaining a configuration of a collection point in a food garbage disposal system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the food garbage disposal system according to the embodiment of the present invention is suitable for small-capacity disposal of small amounts of food waste discharged from the food waste dosing device 100 installed in each home's sink S, However, in the case of garbage collected in each household, it is transported to the collection point (250) at once by using the wind pressure with excellent conveying ability, so that the collection efficiency is enhanced. And a hybrid type using wind pressure.

In addition, the garbage disposal system according to the embodiment of the present invention is capable of collecting general garbage at a rapid rate. Especially, the general garbage discharged through the in-door input port 215 is conveyed only by the wind pressure without using the vacuum pressure So that the efficiency of the treatment can be improved.

To this end, the food garbage disposal system according to the embodiment of the present invention basically includes a food waste amount dispensing apparatus 100, a branch pipe 211, a first inlet correlation unit 212a A second inlet correlation portion 212b having a first inlet pipe 215 in the case of Zone B where the first transverse pipe 213a and the first blower 230a are installed and the general waste is collected; An inner pipe 213b, and a second blower 230b. In the common space, a collection box 250, a vacuum pump 240 and a vacuum tank 245, a dust collector 260, and a deodorizer 270 are installed. In this case, the second transverse condenser 213b and the second blower 230b may be arranged in the same manner as the first and second blowers 230a and 230b, Etc.)

More specifically, the components will be described below.

The food waste dosing device 100 is installed in a sink S of each home as described above, so that food waste can be easily input into the home.

Particularly, in the case of the food waste amount dispensing apparatus 100, when the vacuum pressure is applied without using any additional power, it is automatically opened to suck air and allow food waste to be transported, thereby minimizing energy consumption, And the like.

The branch pipe 211 is connected to each of the food waste amount dispensing apparatuses 100 and serves to guide the food waste introduced from each household to the first inlet correlation unit 212a. The branch valve 211 is provided with a section valve 221 which serves to selectively allow or block the vacuum pressure of the first inlet 212a with respect to the branch valve 211 do. When the section valve 221 installed as described above is opened, the branch pipe 211 opens and communicates with the first inlet corrector 212a, and the food waste introduced into the food waste amount dispensing apparatus 100 is discharged to the first inlet So that it can be quickly transported to the transporting unit 212a. The section valve 221 is not normally opened and is opened when a certain amount or more of food wastes is introduced through the food waste dosing device 100 so that the sensor is detected by an installed sensor. May be configured to be opened by switching. Further, the food waste amount dispensing apparatus 100 may be firstly interrupted so that the odor does not flow back due to the decay of residual food waste left in the branch pipe 211 or the leachate of the food waste. However, It is preferable that the section valve 221 is periodically opened so that the food waste residue and the leachate can be collected. With this arrangement, it is possible to solve the problem that odor can flow back due to the decay of residual food waste residue and leachate when households leave the house for a long time due to holidays or trips.

A plurality of branch pipes 211 are joined to the first inlet pipe 212a through a large pipe vertically penetrating the inside of the building so that the food waste poured into the food waste pipe- First, collect it. Here, when food waste is transferred into the first inlet corrector 212a by the vacuum pressure, it drops directly by free fall and is temporarily stored in a storage tank provided at the lower end thereof. In addition, a first discharge valve 222a is provided at the lower end of the first inlet corrector 212a for allowing or blocking the food waste collected at the first inlet corrector 212a to be discharged to the first transverse condenser 213a And a first shutoff valve (not shown) is provided at an upper end of the first inlet corrector 212a to open or close the first inlet valve 222a in conjunction with the first outlet valve 222a, 223a. Here, the first inlet corrector 212a is connected to the vacuum pump 240 and the vacuum tank 245 to receive the vacuum pressure. If the vacuum tank 240 is installed in addition to the vacuum pump 240, it is possible to stably secure the necessary vacuum pressure even if the vacuum pump 240 is not continuously operated.

The first inlet corrector 212a is provided with a pressure gauge. When the controller determines that the vacuum pressure in the first inlet corrector 212a is lower than the lower limit set value based on the measurement of the pressure gauge, And when it is higher than the upper limit set value, the operation of the vacuum pump 240 is stopped so that the vacuum pressure in the first inlet corrector 212a is maintained within the set range.

In addition, a first deceleration sensor (not shown) for sensing when the stored food waste exceeds a set height is further provided at a lower end of the first inlet correlation portion 212a, and the controller controls the first deceleration sensor When the garbage is detected, the first discharge valve 222a is opened to allow the stored food waste to drop to the second transverse pipe 213b.

According to the configuration in which the first discharge valve 222a and the first shutoff valve 223a are installed in addition to the first inlet correlation portion 212a, the first shutoff valve 223a is opened, When the first discharge valve 222a is opened to open the lower end of the first inlet corrector 212a in such a state that air is introduced into the first inlet corrector 212a by opening the upper end of the first inlet corrector 212a, The food waste temporarily stored at the lower end of the correlation 212a falls freely and flows into the first transverse condenser 213a.

The first transverse condenser 213a guides the food waste introduced from the first inlet correlation portion 212a to the collection site 250 and transports the food waste. For this, the first transverse pipe 213a is installed horizontally, and a first blower 230a is installed at one end and a second end is connected to the collecting house 250. [ The lower end of the first inlet corrector 212a is connected to the middle of the body of the first transversal pipe 213a. When the first discharge valve 222a is opened, the first transversal pipe 213a having such a configuration can receive the food waste falling freely from the first inlet corrector 212a, And is rapidly transported along the first transverse condenser 213a to the collection site 250 by the wind pressure provided by the blower 230a.

The first blower 230a is installed at one end of the first transverse pipe 213a to provide a strong wind pressure to the first transverse pipe 213a so that a large amount of food waste flowing into the first transverse pipe 213a flows into the intake pipe 213a, (Not shown).

The second inlet correlation unit 212b installed in the area B for collecting the general garbage is configured to be connected to the food waste amount dispensing apparatus 100 through the branch pipe 211 unlike the first inlet correlation unit 212a However, at least an indoor inlet 215 having an opening / closing door 215a is formed so that general refuse can be input into each floor of the building. A second discharge valve 222b and a second shutoff valve 223b are provided at the lower end and the upper end of the second inlet corrector 212b in the same manner as the first inlet corrector 212a. When the second discharge valve 222b and the second shutoff valve 223b are installed as described above, the second discharge valve 222b and the second shutoff valve 223b are closed, and the general waste is input through the in- The general garbage charged falls freely within the second inlet correlation part 212b and accumulates at the lower end thereof. Thereafter, the second shutoff valve 223b is opened to open the upper end of the second inlet corrector 212b to open the second inlet valve 222b, The general waste temporarily stored in the lower end of the second inlet correlation portion 212b falls freely and flows into the second transverse condenser 213b.

The second transverse condenser 213b guides the general waste introduced from the second inlet corrector 212b to the collecting site 250 and transports the same. To this end, the second transverse pipe 213b is installed horizontally, and a second blower 230b is installed at one end and connected to the collecting site 250 at the other end.

In addition, the lower end of the second inlet correlation portion 212b is connected to the middle of the body of the second transverse condenser 213b. The second transverse pipe 213b having such a configuration can receive general waste falling freely from the second inlet correlation portion 212b when the second discharge valve 222b is opened, And is quickly transported along the second transverse pipe 213b to the collecting site 250 by the wind pressure provided by the blower 230b.

The second blower 230b is installed at one end of the second transverse pipe 213b to provide a strong wind pressure to the second transverse pipe 213b so that a large amount of general waste flowing into the second transverse pipe 213b flows into the collecting pipe (Not shown).

However, such a configuration can be modified as described above to implement a more simplified system. That is, in a case where the A zone and the B zone shown in the figure are configured to be used in a single building, instead of providing the second transversal pipe 213b and the second blower 230b, a second inlet correlation 212b may be installed in the first transverse pipe 213a. ≪ / RTI > According to such a configuration, the first blower 230a and the first transverse condenser 213a can be commonly used to treat food waste and general waste. In this case, however, all you have to do is to recover the food waste and general garbage disposal. For example, general garbage in the morning and food waste in the afternoon can be operated.

4, a food waste storage tank 250a and a general waste storage tank 250b are installed in the collecting place 250 installed in the common space, and a plurality of auxiliary blowers 250c arranged in series are further installed. The food garbage storage tank 250a and the general waste storage tank 250b are connected to the first transverse pipe 213a and the second transverse pipe 213b and are connected to the branch discharge pipe 250a of the general garbage storage tank 250b, (214a, 214b) are collected in a single discharge pipe (214) and sequentially passed through a plurality of auxiliary blowers (250c) arranged in series, and then sequentially connected to a dust collector (260) and a deodorizer (270). According to the structure of the collecting hall 250, the food garbage storage tank 250a and the general waste storage tank 250b can be installed separately so that the food garbage and the general garbage can be separated and taken out to the outside, The air used for transporting is managed in a single path, so that only one dust collector 260 and the deodorizer 270 can be used to reduce the cost. The purified air thus treated is discharged into the atmosphere through the exhaust pipe 215 in a safe state.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. It is clear that the present invention can be suitably modified and applied in the same manner. Therefore, the above description does not limit the scope of the present invention, which is defined by the limitations of the following claims.
