Description

{SINK-OUTLET FOR WASTE FOOD}

[0001] The present invention relates to a food processing drain, and more particularly, to a food processing drain that can automatically treat food in a sanitary manner without dropping food waste in a hand by dropping the food into a garbage can.

Food waste that is generated in the kitchen, food waste filtered by the drain hole of the sink, and the remaining side dishes after the meal are handled through the sink and food waste disposer (dryer, separator, etc.) .

Such residues left in the sink by washing dishes or cooking food are gathered by a general sieve, and the water is passed through the sewage hole through the sieve.

However, if a large residue is generated during use, the filter can be introduced into the filter net only by lifting the lid of the filter net at the top of the filter net.

When a certain amount of residues are collected in the above-mentioned sieve, the drainage hole is clogged with the residue and the water is not drained well, so the residue in the sieve should be discharged.

Therefore, the user can separate the screen from the sink, turn the screen by hand, shake the screen upward, downward, left and right, or hit the floor of the screen with a hand to remove the residue Discharge from the screen. In this process, the user has to touch the sieve body with his / her hand, and there is a problem that due to the foreign substance attached to the outside of the sieve, the sludge may be very unsanitary and cause illness through odor and contaminants.

Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem [8] Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems occurring in the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a food processing apparatus and a food processing apparatus which are capable of automatically disposing food waste into a garbage can.

It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are not restrictive of the invention, unless further departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. It will be possible.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a food waste treatment port, comprising: a cylindrical drainage passage provided in a drain hole of a drainage tank; a cylindrical lower portion of the drainage tank; Opening / closing means for opening / closing the valve; An operation unit for displaying the amount of food waste remaining in the drain canister and operating the opening and closing means; And a food garbage box provided at the lower end of the opening and closing means for storing food waste discharged from the drain tank.

Here, the drain can is divided into a portion where the food garbage is collected and a drain portion, and the drain portion is provided so as to have a slope or a height difference from the portion where the food garbage is collected, and a net is provided to separate food and water .

Particularly, the drainage portion is connected to the drain hose.

In particular, the drain canister and the food garbage can have a sensor unit for detecting the amount of food remaining.

Particularly, the sensor unit is characterized by using a weight sensor or a height sensor.

In particular, the operation unit includes a display unit for displaying the amount of food remaining in the drain tank and the food garbage can, a switch for opening and closing the opening and closing means, and a power button.

Particularly, the lower part of the drain can be inclined so that the food waste can be easily dropped into the food garbage can.

In particular, the opening / closing means is characterized in that it includes a bottom portion formed to fit into a hole in a lower portion of the drain tube, and a motor portion for switching an opening / closing operation control signal transmitted from the operation portion to a motor driving signal.

In particular, the present invention is characterized in that it includes a side surface of the bottom portion and a hinge portion for fastening the motor portion.

According to the present invention, when food is accumulated in the drain hole, it is automatically dropped into the food garbage can, so that the food can be treated hygienically without putting food garbage on the hand.

Also, when a certain amount of garbage is accumulated in the drainage container and the garbage can, it is displayed on the display to inform the user.

Also, to include an element does not exclude other elements unless specifically stated otherwise, but may also include other elements.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing the structure of a food processing drain port according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view schematically showing the structure of a food processing drain port according to the present invention, FIG. 3 is a cross- FIG. 4 is a view schematically showing a food waste portion and a drainage portion inside the food processing waste drainage can according to the present invention. FIG.

1 and 2, a food processing drainage port 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a water line 110, an operation unit 120, a drainage tank 130, and an opening / closing means 140 .

A cylindrical drainage tube 130 is installed in a drainage hole formed in a central portion or a portion of a lower surface of the water supply line 110.

The operation unit 120 includes a display unit 121 for displaying the amount of food remaining in the drain tank 130 and the food garbage can and an open / close switch 122 and a power button 123 for opening and closing the opening / closing unit 140 .

That is, the display unit 121 displays the accumulated amount of food waste in the drain tank 130 and the garbage can and informs the user of the amount of garbage accumulated on the screen.

At this time, the user pushes the opening / closing switch 122 to throw food stored in the drain canister 130 into the food garbage can.

3 and 4, the drain canister 130 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the lower portion is formed to be inclined to an oblique line. This facilitates the dropping of the food waste in the drainage bin into the food waste container 240.

In this case, the water drainage tube 140 is seen as a single cylinder outside but is divided into a portion 140 where food garbage is collected and a drainage portion 150, and the drainage portion is divided into a portion where the food garbage is collected and a portion And a sieve 420 is provided to separate food and water.

The drainage part 150 is connected to the drainage hose 250 and drained to the outside.

The opening and closing means 140 includes a bottom portion 210 formed to fit into a lower hole of the drain box 130 and a motor unit 130 for switching the opening and closing operation control signal transmitted from the operating portion 120 to a motor driving signal And a hinge part 220 for coupling the motor part 230 to one side of the undercover part 210.

The bottom part 210 is engaged with a cylindrical lower part of the water drainage tube 130 and opens and closes in a downward direction according to the remaining amount of the food waste.

In this case, the bottom portion 210 is formed with a packing surface so as to be in close contact with the drain tank 130, so that the food waste is normally closed without flowing downward.

In addition, a food garbage can 240 is provided at the lower end of the opening / closing means 140 to store the food waste discharged from the drain box 130.

Meanwhile, a sensor unit (not shown) for detecting a remaining amount of food is formed in the drain box 130 and the food garbage can 240.

The sensor unit uses a weight sensor or a height sensor to drop the food waste accumulated in the drain canister 130 into the food garbage can 240 provided below. At this time, the weight sensor senses the weight of the food waste accumulated in the drainage tank 130 and the food waste container 240, and the height sensor detects the height of the food waste accumulated in the drainage tank 130 and the food waste container 240 The control unit 140 is automatically operated to discharge the food waste to the food garbage can.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, Of course, this is possible. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined by the equivalents as well as the claims that follow.
