Description

DISPOSER {DISPOSER}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a disposer, and more particularly, to a disposer which grinds and discharges waste of ground food waste remaining in a pulverizing space of food waste containing a large amount of fiber.

Recently, a large amount of food garbage is generated at homes and restaurants due to the improvement of living standards and the like. The food garbage thus generated is easily corrupted and difficult to be treated, and various technologies for treating such food garbage are being developed.

As one of these methods, various types of disposers have been developed, such as pulverizing food waste, discharging microorganisms for fermentation to the pulverized food waste, and discharging the pulverized food waste.

However, in the case of the conventional disposer for discharging garbage, there is a structure for grinding garbage discharged according to the eating habits of Western people according to the system developed in the West.

However, in the East Asian diet including Korea, a lot of food waste containing fiber is being discharged because a large amount of fibrous food is consumed. In the grinding disposer of the prior art, the disintegration effect of the disintegrator is not broken even after the pulverization, and the residue of the garbage that has not been broken in the fibrous material remains in the pulverizing space.

Accordingly, it is inevitable to develop a disposer capable of solving the problem of clogging food waste containing such fibers so as to solve the problem of clogging the discharge pipe by preventing pulverization.

A prior art related to the present invention is Korean Patent No. 10-1554701 (registered on September 15, 2015).

FIG. 1 is a view showing a disposer according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a view showing a rotating plate, and FIGS. 3 to 5 are views showing a disposer of a disposer according to an embodiment of the present invention .

The disposer 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 100, a rotating plate 200, a motor 300, an outlet 400, a rotating shaft 500, a rotating blade 600, A crushing ring 700, and a crushing unit 800.

The crushing space portion 110 is formed inside the housing 100. The crushed space portion 110 can communicate with the sink drain.

The rotary plate 200 is provided in the crushing space part 110 formed therein. The rotary plate 200 is provided with a plurality of discharge holes 210 through which pulverized food (or food waste) is discharged.

The motor 300 rotates the rotary plate 200 and the rotary blade 600. The motor 300 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 500 to rotate the rotating plate 200 and the rotating blade 600.

The discharge port 400 is provided at a lower side of the rotary plate 200 and includes a plurality of discharge holes 210 of the rotary plate 200, side discharge holes 710 of the discharge ring 700, And the grinding discharge hole 810 to discharge the pulverized food to the outside.

One end of the rotary shaft 500 is connected to the motor 300 and the other end of the rotary shaft 500 is connected to the center of the rotary plate 200 and the center of the rotary blade 600 or the crusher 800, And protrudes upward from the rotary plate 200 through the rotary blade 600.

The rotary blade 600 is fixed to the rotary shaft 500 and rotates along the rotary shaft 500 rotated by the motor 300. Food (or food waste) flowing into the crushing space portion 110 is pulverized by the rotating blade 600 rotating in this manner.

The crushing ring 700 is provided in the crushing space portion 110 of the housing 100. That is, the crushing ring 700 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the crushing space portion 110 of the housing 100. The grinding ring 700 has a plurality of side discharge holes 710 formed along the lower end thereof.

A plurality of inner side blades 720 protruding toward the rotating shaft 500 are formed in the pulverizing ring 700. The inner side edge 720 is formed by a first inner side edge 722 and a second inner side edge 724. The first inner side edge 722 is formed at regular intervals along the inner periphery of the center of the grinding ring 700 and the second inner side edge 724 is formed at regular intervals along the inner periphery of the upper end of the grinding ring 700, And is formed on the intermediate upper side of the two adjacent first inner side blades 722.

The plurality of side discharge holes 710 are crushed by the rotary blade 600 and are discharged to the discharge port 400 from the food (or food waste) pushed toward the crush ring 700 in accordance with the rotation of the rotary plate 200 It plays a role.

However, when the size of food pushed toward the crush ring 700 is larger than the size of the side discharge hole 710, food larger than the size of the side discharge hole 710 is caught in the side discharge hole 710.

This increases the amount of food pushed toward the crushing ring 700 and accumulates and obstructs the rotation of the rotary blade 600 or the rotary plate 200. When the accumulated food is further increased, the rotary blade 600 or the rotary plate 200 Can be stopped, so that the pulverization of the food or the like can not be performed smoothly. In the worst case, mechanical failure of the disposer may occur.

Therefore, when the food pushed toward the crush ring 700 is blocked by the side discharge hole 710 according to the rotation of the rotary plate 200 when the food is crushed, the food for closing the side discharge hole 710 is crushed and discharged through the discharge port 400, .

1, a disposer according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a crushing unit formed at a lower end of a rotating plate 200 so as to pass below a plurality of side discharge holes 710 of a crushing ring 700 .

The cutting line 832 may be formed with a crushing blade for crushing the food sandwiched between the side discharge holes 710. This grinding blade may also be formed in the incision line 834. In other words, the grinding blade can be formed on at least one of the incision line 832 and the incision line 834. [

The crushing unit 800 may be provided with a plurality of crushing and discharging holes 820 through which the crushed food (or food waste) is discharged. It is preferable that the through hole position of the pulverizing hole 820 coincides with the hole position of the discharge hole 210 of the rotary plate 200.
