The present invention relates to a food waste fermentation processor, which has an improved structure to automatically discharge food waste when it is fermented in the fermenter, and includes a fermentation tank (10) and a perforated outlet inside the main body (2) to promote automation of the fermentation treatment process. It consists of a main component including a unit 22, a treatment tank 30, a stirring shaft 40, and a deodorization module 50, and each major component will be described in detail below.

First, the fermenter 10 according to the present invention has an inlet 11 that is opened and closed by a cover 12, and is heated by a heater 13 to ferment (microorganism decompose) food waste.

The fermentation tank 10 has an open inlet 11 at the top, and the inner bottom has a hemispherical shape corresponding to the rotation radius of the stirring blade 41 so that there are no blind areas that are not stirred when the stirring blade 41, which will be described later, rotates. is formed by

The fermentation troughs of existing food fermentation processors are made of synthetic resin materials, but the fermentation tank 10 of the present invention inserts a metal plate (aluminum steel plate) curved downward in a U shape into the mold, as shown in the front cross-sectional view of FIG. 3. It is manufactured by double injection, and a drum-shaped heater (13) is laminated on the outer surface and an insulating material is laminated on the outer surface for insulation.

In this way, by constructing the inner and outer surfaces of the fermenter 10, excluding the edge portion, of a metal material with excellent thermal conductivity, the time when food waste input into the fermenter 10 is heated to a predetermined temperature can be shortened, and heat loss can be reduced. is effectively decomposed by microorganisms and discharged as fermentation by-products. As a result of actual testing, it was confirmed that a certain amount of food waste was completely fermented, and the fermentation time was shortened by more than 30% compared to the existing synthetic resin fermentation tank.

The fermenter 10 is equipped with a temperature sensor for detecting temperature and a humidity sensor 16 for detecting humidity inside and electrically connected to the PCB. When the humidity sensor falls below the set value, the power to the heater 13 is turned off. Turn it off to minimize power consumption.

A blocking film may be installed between the inlet 11 and the cover 12 of the fermenter 10. This barrier prevents steam from forming on the bottom of the cover 12 and double-closes the inlet 11 to tightly block external outflow of harmful gases, including odors, generated during the fermentation process.

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 2, when the cover 12 is opened to insert food, an inlet deodorizing unit 80 may be provided on one side of the input port 11 to deodorize odors generated during the food decomposition process. there is.

The inlet deodorizing unit 80 includes a nozzle hole 83 formed on the upper side of the inlet, a deodorizing container 81 connected to the nozzle hole 83 and into which the deodorant is sprayed when the spray button 82 is touched, and a cover ( When 12) is opened, it includes an operating table 84 formed at the lower part of the hinge side of the cover 12 so as to touch the spray button 82.

As the cover 12 is opened, the spray button 82 is located and touched on the movement path of the operating table 84, so even if the user opens the cover 12 to insert new food waste, the fermentation process It has the effect of significantly reducing user discomfort by immediately diluting or removing the generated odor.

The dividing wall 20 according to the present invention is formed perpendicular to the stirring shaft 40 in the fermentation tank 10, and is located close to either side of the supporting portions on both sides of the main body 2 supporting the stirring shaft 40. It is placed.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 showing a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A', the treatment tank 30 is formed in a hemispherical shape so that its inner bottom surface corresponds to the rotation radius of the discharge door 42, which will be described later, and is formed on the bottom surface. In order to seal the discharge port 32, a discharge door 42 is provided at the end of the support 43 formed on the stirring shaft 40 in the section corresponding to the treatment tank 30.

In the upper region of the dividing wall 20, which is higher than the rotation radius of the stirring shaft 40, a perforated outlet portion 22 is formed in the transverse direction to discharge fermentation by-products.

When food waste is processed through fermentation, fermentation by-products are created as microorganisms decompose the food. In the existing processor, the upper and lower limits are marked inside, so when the by-products reach the upper limit in the fermentation tank 10, the user has to leave the fermentation by-products up to the lower limit and discard the rest directly using a shovel, etc., which is inconvenient.

In order to overcome this inconvenience, the present invention is characterized in that a perforated outlet 22 is formed at a predetermined height so that fermentation by-products are automatically discharged into the treatment tank 30 through the earthen hole outlet 22.

The perforated outlet portion 22 may be formed as one large hole, but if the hole is large, large food by-products that have not yet completed fermentation may pass through, so as shown in FIG. 2, a perforated plate with a plurality of holes is formed. , or it is desirable to configure it in the form of a mesh network.

The particle size of the fermented product discharged through the perforated outlet portion 22 is determined by the perforated size of the perforated network or perforated plate. The perforated network or perforated plate constituting the perforated outlet portion 22 is installed to be replaceable, and the perforated network or perforated plate is prepared according to standards with different perforated sizes, so that an appropriate perforated size can be applied in consideration of the type of food waste. make it possible

The treatment tank 30 according to the present invention is installed on one side of the fermentation tank 10, and the fermented product discharged through the perforated outlet portion 22 is formed in the lower part of the discharge port 32 through the discharge port 32 at the bottom. It is provided to be collected in a recovery container (31).

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 showing a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A', the treatment tank 30 is formed in a hemispherical shape so that its inner bottom surface corresponds to the rotation radius of the discharge door 42, which will be described later, and is formed on the bottom surface. In order to seal the discharge port 32, a discharge door 42 is provided at the end of the support formed on the stirring shaft 40 in the section corresponding to the treatment tank 30.

Accordingly, when the recovery container 31 is filled with fermentation by-products to the set capacity, the discharge door 42 seals the discharge port 32 and the driving unit is stopped to prevent fermentation by-products exceeding the capacity of the recovery container 31 from accumulating. It can be prevented.

A door sensor 4 may be further provided to detect the state in which the discharge port 32 is closed by the discharge door 42.

For example, referring to Figure 2, a power transmission means 3 such as a sprocket is formed at one end of the stirring shaft 40 and transmits the power of the driving part, and a sensing piece is installed here, and the power is transmitted. If the door sensor 4 is installed on the inner body 2 in the turning radius area of the means 3, it can be seen that the outlet 32 is closed when the door sensor 4 recognizes the object to be sensed.

In this way, in the food waste fermentation processor of the present invention, fermentation by-products discharged through the perforated outlet 22 are automatically collected into the recovery container 31 through the treatment tank 30, so that conventional food waste fermentation treatment devices do not store food in the fermentation tank. When the decomposed matter swells and reaches the limit of the fermentation tank, the internal scale is checked, eliminating the inconvenience of the user having to scoop it out using a spoon, etc., and convenience of use is greatly improved.

Figure 4 is a front cross-sectional view showing another embodiment of the food waste fermentation processor provided by the present invention, showing an embodiment in which the treatment tank 30 is formed on the side wall 14 of the fermentation tank 10.

It is installed adjacent to the side wall 14 where the part 22 is formed, and is provided so that the fermented product discharged through the perforated outlet part 22 is collected into the recovery container 31 through the outlet 32 at the bottom.

Of course, the perforated outlet portion 22 may be formed simultaneously on both side walls 14 of the fermentation tank 10.

Referring to Figures 1 to 3, the stirring shaft 40 according to the present invention is installed in the horizontal direction to pass through the inner space of the fermentation tank 10 and the treatment tank 30 and is rotated by a drive unit, and the fermentation tank 10 ), a stirring blade 41 is installed in the section corresponding to the treatment tank 30, and a discharge door 42 is provided in the section corresponding to the treatment tank 30.

At this time, the stirring blades 41 are spaced apart in the length direction of the stirring shaft 40, and the food waste contained in the fermenter 10 is stirred by the stirring blades 41, thereby promoting moisture evaporation, thereby improving drying and fermentation efficiency. do.

Additionally, the stirring blade 41 may be formed at a predetermined inclination angle around an imaginary axis C extending in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the stirring shaft 40, as shown in FIG. 1 .

Accordingly, when the stirring shaft 40 is rotated in one direction according to the inclination angle of the stirring blade 41, the food waste in the fermentation tank 10 is stirred and transferred to the opposite side of the perforated outlet 22 as shown in FIG. 1, and is fermented, As shown in Figure 2, when the stirring shaft 40 rotates in the other direction, the food waste fermented in the fermenter 40 is transported to the perforated outlet 22 and discharged.

In this way, since the perforated outlet part 22 is equipped to be cleaned in a non-contact manner with compressed air, a decrease in cleaning efficiency due to wear is prevented even when operated for a long time, and even solids embedded deep in the perforation of the perforated outlet part 22 can be cleanly removed. There is an advantage.

Additionally, as shown in Figure 5 (b), the perforated outlet portion 22 may be provided to be automatically cleaned by a rotating brush 64.

The cleaning module 60 includes a brush 64 that is installed laterally at a position adjacent to the perforated outlet 22 and rotates, and as the brush 71 rotates, the perforated outlet 22 By removing foreign substances through friction, clogging of the perforated outlet portion 22 is prevented, enabling continuous operation for a long time.

At this time, the rotation axis of the brush 64 is connected to the stirring shaft 40 by a drive connection means such as a timing belt, chain, or gear to rotate.
