Description

{A FOOD WASTE DISPOSAL APPARATUS}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a food garbage disposal apparatus, and more particularly, to a food garbage disposal apparatus capable of disintegrating food waste into a microbial fermentation decomposition type and discharging it in a reduced amount while rotating a cylindrical drum by motor driving.

Currently, food waste is large enough to occupy a third of the total amount of garbage, and it is becoming a serious social problem due to the high rate of decay, bad smell, high treatment cost, and high water content. As a method of treating such food waste, there is a method of embedding food waste and a method of utilizing a bag of standard bag. However, the method of landfill has a problem that environmental contamination and sewage are generated at a high rate and site acquisition is difficult. Also, there is a problem in that the method of utilizing the standard bag is that the stench due to the high decay rate of the food waste is serious, the processing and collection process is troublesome, the manpower consumed due to the work and the working time are high.

In order to solve these problems, a variety of researches have been conducted on food waste disposers such as dryers, crushers, and microbial utilization systems for self-treatment of food waste disposed in homes and restaurants. The dry food waste treatment system is a method of drying food waste using a heating means in order to lower the water content, and there is a problem of high power consumption, high maintenance cost, bad smell, and high accident risk. In addition, the grinding food waste disposal apparatus is configured to grind food waste to a predetermined size by using a rotating blade and to discharge the food waste through the sewage, and it has a high space consumption and installation cost, and 80% of the food waste after grinding There is a problem that it must be recovered and discarded separately.

The most recently used type of food waste disposal apparatus of the liquid microorganism type is that all the food waste and microorganisms are stirred and fermented, and then discharged into the liquid state. In such a food waste disposal apparatus of the liquid microorganism type, a stirring blade provided inside the chamber is generally rotated around a rotation axis, and is driven in such a manner that food and microorganisms are stirred. The conventional method using the agitated cup has a problem that the food waste is wound on the agitator (blade) and the offensive odor is frequently generated. Particularly, there is a problem that when there is foreign matter, there is a device breakage and a secondary accident (contents are out) by an agitator (wing), and there is a high risk of accidents at the body part due to the agitator wing at the time of inspection. In addition, there is a problem that the odor inside the container due to the easy opening of the inlet cover easily flows out to the outside. Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0107524 is disclosed in the prior art document.

Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem [8] The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional methods. The present invention provides a method of reducing food waste by fermentation and decomposition using microorganisms, The food waste and the microorganism are stirred in the drum and the fermented and decomposed food waste is discharged through the perforated net of the drum so that the waste of food waste generated in the food waste processing apparatus using the conventional stirring blades So that the occurrence of odors can be minimized.
