In FIG. 1, reference numeral 24 denotes an inlet for injecting food waste into the fermentation tank 20, 25 is a cover covering the inlet 24, and 26 represents food waste that is fermented / dried in the fermentation tank 20. It is a discharge port discharged to the outside by the reverse rotation drive of the stirring motor 33.

Hereinafter, the operation and effect in the fermentation / drying apparatus of the food waste according to an embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described.

First, the lid 25 covering the inlet 24 of the waste fermentation / drying apparatus 10 is opened, and food waste is introduced into the fermentation tank 20, and then the stirring motor 33 is driven by the timer 31. After setting the time and setting the humidity for fermentation / drying the food waste by the humidity setting means 35, the main switch (not shown) is switched on to turn on the ceramic heater 40 and the heating medium heating heater ( 80) Apply power to generate heat.

At this time, while the air supply motor 59 is driven to rotate the air supply blower 52, the external air is sucked into the air discharge unit 53 through the air introduction unit 51 to the heating chamber 55 and the air heating tube 56. The natural convection of the heat medium heated by heat radiated from the heat medium heating heater 80 at the same time as it is discharged and heated by the heat generated from the ceramic heater 400 and discharged into the fermentation tank 20 through the air supply ports 57 and 58. By heating the outer peripheral surface of the fermentation tank 20 to ferment / dry the food waste by the heated air introduced into the fermentation tank 20 and the heating of the fermentation tank 20.

The exhaust gas generated by the fermentation / drying of the food waste is sucked upward by the exhaust blower 78 rotated by the driving of the exhaust motor 79 and heated and oxidized by the heat generated from the ceramic heater 40. Next, the odor generating substance is deodorized, decomposed, and oxidized by the far infrared rays radiated from the ceramic filter 90 while passing through the ceramic filter 90, and then is discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe 63 of the exhaust unit 60. .

The air supply motor 59 and the exhaust motors 59 and 79 are continuously driven while fermentation and drying of the food waste proceed.

In this way, while the food waste is being fermented / dried, the temperature in the fermentation tank 20 is detected by the first temperature detection sensor 28 and output to the controller 29, wherein the controller 29 has a fermentation tank 20. Compare or not to determine whether or not the temperature inside is higher than the preset temperature.

When the temperature in the fermentation tank 20 is higher than the preset temperature, the power of the ceramic heater 40 is turned off, and then the heat medium in the heat medium chamber 70 heated by the heat medium heating heater 80 is turned off. The temperature is detected by the second temperature detecting means 29 and input to the controller 29, in which the temperature of the heat medium stored in the heat medium chamber 70 is preset in the controller 29. Compared with whether or not the temperature is higher than the temperature, when the heat medium temperature is higher than the temperature preset in the controller 29, the power applied to the heat medium heating heater 80 is turned off.

On the other hand, when the temperature of the heat medium is lower than the temperature preset in the controller 29 and whether or not the temperature in the fermentation tank 20 is lower than the temperature preset in the controller 29, the heat medium again. Power is again applied to the heating heater 80 and the ceramic heater 40 to increase the temperature of the heat medium and fermentation tank 20.

Next, setting the constant time to 15 minutes by the first and second humidity detection sensors 23a and 23b according to the stirring of the stirrer 30 is described by way of example. The average humidity value of the food waste detected and averaged in units of units is set in advance in the controller 29 by the humidity setting means 35. Compare whether or not it is higher than the humidity value.

The average humidity value of the food wastes detected and averaged by the first and second humidity detection sensors 23a and 23b on a predetermined time basis is preset in the controller 29 by the humidity setting means 35. If it is higher than the humidity value, the first and second humidity detection sensors 23a and 23b set a predetermined time (15 minutes: the predetermined time is set to 15 minutes here by way of example), which is not illustrated. The average humidity value of the food waste detected and averaged in units is lower than the humidity value preset in the controller 29 by the humidity setting means 35. If it is low compared with the controller 29, the first and second humidity detection sensors 23a and 23b use a specific time unit, for example, 5 minutes (this specific time 5 minutes may be changed by the user. Can of course) The controller 29 detects and inputs the same to the controller 29. The controller 29 calculates the average humidity of the food waste to be fermented / dried by averaging the detected humidity for a specific time, and at least three times by the humidity setting means 35. The humidity is compared with the humidity set in the controller 29.

As a result of the comparison, when the average humidity value of the humidity detected by the first and second humidity detection sensors 23a and 23b three times in a specific time unit is lower than the humidity preset in the controller 29, Since the fermentation / drying is completed, the alarm means 39 is sounded and then the controller 29 outputs a reverse rotation drive control signal of the stirring motor 33 to the stirring motor driver 32 in the controller 29 to stir the motor 33. ) By rotating the agitator 30 in reverse rotation to discharge the fermented / dried food waste through the outlet 26 formed in the fermentation tank 20, and the fermented / dried food waste in the fermentation tank 20. Once completely discharged, the main switch is automatically turned off, thereby terminating the fermentation / drying of the food waste.

On the other hand, the average humidity value of the food waste detected and averaged by the first and second humidity detection sensors 23a and 23b on a predetermined time basis is preset in the controller 29 by the humidity setting means 35. If the humidity value is not higher than the predetermined humidity value, the average humidity value of the humidity detected by the first and second humidity detection sensors 23a and 23b three times in a specific time unit is lower than the humidity preset in the controller 29. If the comparison is low, the fermentation / drying of the food waste is completed, so that the alarm means 39 is sounded and then the controller 29 rotates the stirring motor 33 to the stirring motor driving unit 32 in the controller 29. Output the drive control signal to drive the stirring motor 33 in reverse rotation to rotate the stirrer 30 in reverse to discharge the fermented / dried food waste through the outlet 26 formed in the fermentation tank 20, fermentation / drying Food waste reminded When completely discharged in the fermentation tank 20, the main switch is automatically turned off, so that the fermentation / drying of the food waste is terminated.

In the above description, the humidity of the food waste being fermented / dried by the first and second humidity detection sensors 23a and 23b is detected by the stirrer 30 directly above the first humidity detection sensor 23a. After passing through the food waste, the humidity is detected in an empty space that does not cover the first humidity detection sensor 23a, and after passing through the stirrer 30 for a predetermined time, the food waste passes the first waste. The first humidity detection sensor 23a detects the humidity of the food waste in the state of covering the humidity detection sensor 23a, and arithmetic averages the humidity of the food waste detected for a predetermined time, that is, 15 minutes. By storing the value in advance in the controller 29 and comparing it with the humidity value, it is possible to precisely control the fermentation / drying of the food waste.

Therefore, according to the control method of the food waste fermentation / drying apparatus according to the present invention, the external air taken in by the rotation of the air supply blower 52 is heated by the ceramic heater 40 and supplied to the fermentation tank 20, and the heat medium While heating and circulating the heat medium by the heat medium heating heater 80 disposed in the chamber 70, the outer peripheral surface of the fermentation tank 20 is heated to ferment / dry the food waste stirred by the stirrer 30. And calculating the humidity of the food waste detected by the second humidity detection sensors 23a and 23b for a predetermined time in the controller 29 as an average value, and calculating the calculated average humidity value to the controller 29 in advance. Compared with the set humidity value, the fermentation / drying is continued until it is lower than the humidity value preset in the controller 29, and lower than the humidity value preset in the controller 29. In addition, the first and second humidity detection sensors 23a and 23b detect the humidity while fermenting / drying the food waste again at a specific time unit, that is, three times every five minutes, and the average humidity is again obtained by the controller 29. Only when it is lower than the humidity value previously stored in the controller 29, the agitator 30 is rotated backward to discharge the fermented / dried food waste through the discharge port formed in the front of the fermentation tank 20, and also food waste. Odor-generating substances contained in the exhaust gas generated during fermentation / drying are heated and oxidized in the ceramic heater 40 and completely decomposed, deodorized and oxidized by the far infrared rays emitted from the ceramic filter 90. Food waste can be easily fermented and dried without contaminating the air, and at the same time, it is contained in exhaust gases generated during fermentation / drying of food waste. Completely decomposed and seized and taken can be oxidized.

Since the present invention operates as described above, the fermentation / drying of the food waste is detected by the first and second humidity detection sensors 23a and 23b for a predetermined time, arithmetic averaged, and the average value thereof is stored in advance in the controller 29. When the average humidity value is lower than the humidity value previously stored in the controller 29 compared with the humidity value, the stirrer 30 is driven in reverse rotation to discharge the fermented / dried food waste to the outside. Can be fermented / dried.

In addition, the present invention completely decomposes, deodorizes and oxidizes the odor generating substances contained in the exhaust gas generated during the fermentation / drying of food wastes by far infrared rays generated by the ceramic filter 90 and releases them to the atmosphere. Not only can it easily ferment / dry food waste, but also it can precisely control the fermentation / drying of food waste by precisely detecting the humidity of the food waste being fermented and dried, and also fermentation of food waste. Precise control of drying reduces power consumption.

In the above description, the fermentation / drying apparatus of the food waste was described with a specific embodiment, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, various design changes can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention. Of course. Moreover, this invention can also be used also as an extinction period of food waste.

As described above, according to the control method of the food waste fermentation / drying apparatus of the present invention, the humidity of the food waste is detected by the first and second humidity detection sensors on a predetermined time basis, and the detected humidity of the food waste is averaged. If the humidity value is smaller than the humidity value previously stored in the controller, the humidity is detected by the first and second humidity detection sensors while fermentation / drying again three times in a specific time unit, and the average value is obtained and stored in advance in the controller. Compared with the humidity value, the fermentation / drying is performed until the average humidity of the food waste fermented / dried is lower than the humidity value previously stored in the controller, and the exhaust gas generated during the fermentation / drying of the food waste The odor generating substances contained are heated and oxidized in the ceramic heater and radiated by the ceramic filter 90. Has a superior effect in that because the oxidative decomposition and deodorization and by the far infrared ray, without contaminating the ambient air, can be easily fermentation / drying the food waste.

In addition, the present invention detects the humidity of the food waste during the fermentation / drying of the food waste for a predetermined time by the first and second humidity sensor and arithmetic average of the detected value while comparing with the humidity value preset in the controller Since it is configured to ferment / dry food waste, it is possible to not only ferment / dry food waste precisely, but also to reduce energy (power) due to fermentation / drying.
