The operation of the integrated food waste disposal apparatus according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described.

First, if food waste flows into the food waste inflow section 10 through the food waste inflow opening 11 together with the sewage, the relatively large size food waste is filtered by the net 2, and the small- And then flows into the food waste inlet portion 10 together with the food waste.

The food waste flowing along with the sewage is introduced into the upper portion of the agitation portion 20 via the lower portion of the agitation portion 20 along the inflow pipe 31 connected to the lower end of the food waste inflow portion 10.

When the food garbage flows into the food garbage inflow section 10 together with sewage, the garbage is sensed through the sewage flow sensor 16 and the central control device 60 transmits a control signal of the drive motor 24, The fermentation microorganism of the microorganism input unit 40 can be introduced into the agitation unit 20 by opening the microorganism input unit 46. The degree of opening of the microorganism introducing valve 46 can be adjusted so that the amount of microorganisms to be supplied to the agitating unit 20 can be adjusted.

When food waste is put into the upper part of the agitating part 20 together with the sewage, food waste is supported by the perforated plate 25. The driving motor 24 is driven in accordance with the command of the central control device 60, The food waste is pulled upward by the plurality of stirring blades 23 in accordance with the rotation of the rotary shaft 22 and then the process of dropping is repeated And the fermentation microorganism is decomposed by stirring.

In the decomposition process by the microorganism, malodor is inevitably generated, and the malodor moves along the space passing through the agitating part 20. Because of the structural nature of the bead 30, Since the sewage and food waste are always filled in the lower part of the location, the odor can not pass through it and the backflow of the odor may be blocked.

The food waste completely decomposed by the agitation and microorganism decomposition in the agitating part 20 can pass through the hole of the perforated plate 25 and the drain valve 56 of the water discharge pipe 51 is discharged, The food waste disassembled together with the sewage can be discharged to the outside and the drain pipe 51 is connected to the sewage pipe and can be moved to the septic tank along the sewage pipe.

At this time, the discharged sewage is mixed with food waste decomposed by microorganisms. However, since the food waste is in a decomposed state, it does not cause water pollution or environmental pollution, but rather can assist in decomposing other organic matters of the septic tank, Thereby preventing pollution or environmental pollution.

The drain pipe 51 of the drainage unit 50 is connected to the outside in a horizontal direction at a portion between the position of the rotary shaft 22 and the bottom of the stirring unit 20, Since the disassembled food waste is always filled with the food waste immersed in the sewage, the generation of the offensive odor from the decomposed food waste is suppressed, so that the occurrence of the odor can be minimized.

On the other hand, when the rotary shaft 22, the stirring vane 23, etc. constituting the stirring portion 20 are repaired or replaced, it is necessary to discharge the entire amount of sewage and food waste under the stirring portion 20, 6, the second drain pipe 52 is connected to the outside through the bottom of the agitator 20, and the second drain pipe 52 is provided with a second drain valve 57 And the outer end of the second drain pipe 57 is preferably integrated with the drain pipe 51.

If the second drain valve 57 is opened through the central control unit 60 when necessary, all the disassembled food waste and the sewage filled in the agitator 20 can be discharged to the outside, And the convenience of repair replacement can be achieved.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
