Description

Food Waste Disposal System

The present invention relates to a food waste treatment system, and more particularly, to integrate the food waste processor with the sink, so that the food waste generated in the sink can be directly processed by the food waste processor.

In general, food waste is a device that ferments and treats various food wastes such as rice scraps, fish bones, and vegetables generated in the kitchen by microorganisms.In recent years, food wastes have been decided and prohibition of food waste in landfills has been decided. As a result, housewife's efforts to reduce the amount of waste are intensifying.

Chilled food waste is generated the most in the sink used to wash food in the kitchen or washing food, such as vegetables, the sink is the sink body 1 and the top of the sink body as shown in FIG. A bin (2) formed concave in, a garbage collector (3) extending on the bottom surface of the bin and the food waste coming into the garbage collector (3) detachably embedded in the garbage collector (3) It is largely composed of a waste collection net (4) and a drain pipe (5) connected to the bottom surface of the waste collection box (3) for discharging the water exiting the waste collection net (4) to the sewage pipe.

Therefore, when the user performs the snow-collecting or trimming the food in the recess 2 formed concave in the sink body 1, food waste is generated and the generated food waste is the bottom of the tray 2 Into the garbage collection box (3) formed on the side immediately goes with the water, the garbage collector is separable in the garbage collection network (4) is built in the end only the food waste is caught in the garbage collection network (4) The accumulated water exits the waste collection network and is discharged to the sewer through a drain pipe 5 connected to the bottom surface of the waste collection box 3.

On the other hand, if you continue to use the sink for a certain time, a large amount of food waste is accumulated in the garbage collection network (4) built in the garbage collection box (3), in which case the garbage collection network is separated from the garbage collection box (3) Then, take out the accumulated food waste and put it in a pay-as-you-go bag or use a separate food waste processor to process it. do.

In the above, there are various types of food waste treatment for treating food waste accumulated in the garbage collection network 4 according to the manufacturer, and one type thereof will be described with reference to FIG. 2 as follows.

An apparatus main body 11 having a lid 12 installed on and open at an upper portion thereof, a fermentation tank 13 embedded in the main body, into which a fermentation aid and food waste are put, and rotatably installed in the fermentation tank motor 14 Fermentation tank so that the fermentation aid and agitated food waste in the fermentation tank 13 and the stirring blade 16 for mixing the fermentation aid and food waste while being rotated by receiving the driving force of the) Heater (13) to heat the heater 17, the air supply device for supplying the air required for fermentation into the fermentation tank 13, and the fermentation gas generated as the food waste is fermented in the fermentation tank (13) (11) It consists largely of fermentation gas discharge device which discharges to the outside.

Therefore, open the lid (12) installed in the main body 11, put the fermentation aid containing fermentation bacteria together with food waste into the fermentation tank 13, then close the lid 12 again and select the fermentation mode to receive the control signal of the controller Since the motor 14 is driven, the stirring blade 16 installed in the fermentation tank 13 receives the driving force of the motor 14 through the belt 15 and rotates the food waste and fermentation introduced into the fermentation tank 13. The adjuvant is mixed, and at the same time, the heater 17 installed in the lower part of the fermenter operates under the control signal of the controller, thereby heating the fermenter 13 while fermenting the fermenter into the fermenter while an air supply device (not shown) is operated. Supply the necessary air.

In this way, when the fermentation tank 13 is heated and air is supplied to the inside, the fermentation tank maintains the set fermentation temperature and becomes rich in oxygen. As the growth of the fermentation bacteria becomes active, the food waste mixed with the fermentation aid is fermented. When the fermentation is continued for a certain time, the food waste is reduced to compost as it is reduced.

On the other hand, when the food waste is fermented by the above action, a fermentation gas discharge device (not shown) operates to discharge the odor gas generated during fermentation of the food waste to the outside of the main body 11.

However, since there is a separate food waste processor for treating food waste generated by the use of the sink and the sink as described above, in order to process the food waste generated when the user uses the sink, the food waste processor installed separately from the generated food waste Since it has to be moved to a very inconvenient use, and separately from the sink, you have to purchase a food waste disposal unit in a perfect state, resulting in excessive expenses.

In addition, since the food waste purchased separately is installed and used right next to the sink in the kitchen, the fermentation gas is spread in the process of the food waste being fermented by the food waste processor, so the indoor environmental conditions are very high. There were also problems that worsened.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, by providing a food waste processor for fermentation of food waste generated in accordance with the use of the sink and the kitchen in the kitchen as a system to ensure convenience of use to consumers The purpose is to provide a low price, and to ensure that the fermentation gas generated during the fermentation treatment of food waste does not spread to the room.

According to an embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object, the garbage collection network in the waste collection box constituting the sink stage is rotatably hinged, the waste collection network lever to rotate the garbage collection network from the outside of the sink body Fixing an inner end of the bin, one side of the garbage collector to form a through-hole so that the food waste collected in the garbage collection network when the garbage collection network is rotated by the lever to escape to the outside of the garbage collector, the bin of the garbage collector The study is connected to the storage tank so that the food waste coming out of the garbage collection through the through hole is stored and stored, the inside of the storage tank while stirring to rotate the mixing of the food waste stored in the inside of the storage tank with fermentation aids. Installed, and used food stored in the reservoir Group wherein the storage tank is provided in the box with the connecting end of the drain pipe connector is connected to the other end of the coupling tube hayeoseo food waste treatment system the fermentation gas generated in the process of fermentation to be discharged to a drain of the sink.

At one side of the garbage collection network (4) by the lever 101 of the food waste collected in the garbage collection network to form a through hole 105 to escape to the outside of the waste collection box (3), the garbage collection The storage unit 106 is fixed to the through hole of the bin 3 so that food wastes escaping to the outside of the waste collection box 3 are stored through the through hole 105, and the driving force of the motor 107 is stored in the storage tank. 108 is installed while the stirring blade 109 is installed to mix the food waste stored in the storage tank 106 with the fermentation aid while rotating through the, and the outer side of the storage tank 106 to heat the storage tank 110 ) And the reservoir 106 The one end of the drain pipe (5) to the storage tank 106 so that the fermentation gas generated in the course of the food waste stored in the fermentation process is discharged into the drain pipe (5) of the sink and the connection pipe (111) ) Is connected to the other end of the drain pipe (5).

The process of treating food waste by the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail.

In the state as shown in FIG. 4A, an inlet portion of the waste collection network 4 which is pivotally hinged in the waste collection box 3 constituting the sink stand 2 is formed in a recess 2 formed in the sink stand body 1. In this state, the food waste generated when the user performs the harvesting at the shelter or trims food such as vegetables extends to the bottom surface of the shelter 2 together with water. It immediately enters the formed waste collection box (3).

Thus, when the food waste enters the waste collection box 3 together with the water, the food waste is eventually turned toward the shelter 2 when the inlet portion of the waste collection network 4 hingedly rotatably coupled to the waste collection box is eventually turned into the food waste collection site 2. Only the waste collection network 4 is accumulated and the water exits the waste collection network and is discharged to the sewer through the drain pipe 5 connected to the bottom surface of the waste collection box 3.

On the other hand, if the use of the sink continues for a certain time, a large amount of food waste accumulates in the garbage collection network 4 built in the garbage collection box 3, and in this state, the garbage collection network is rotated counterclockwise on the drawing. When the food waste is piled up through the through hole 105 formed on one side of the waste collection box (3) exits to the outside of the waste collection box (3).

Then, the process of rotating the garbage collection network 4 will be described in detail.

Holding the outer end of the lever 101, the inner end of which is fixed to the waste collection network 4 by the hand from the outside of the sink stand body 1, and pushing it to the left in the drawing, the outer end of the lever 101 collects the waste of the sink stand. As the lever 101 is exposed to the outside through the collector hole 102 formed in the box 3 and the body hole 103 formed in the main body 1, the lever 101 has the collector hole 102 and the body hole 103. Since it moves in a circle to the left on the drawing within a length range of), the garbage collection network 4 is rotated counterclockwise around the hinge axis as much as proportional to the moving length of the lever 101, and the garbage collection network As soon as the rotation in the counterclockwise direction in the drawing of (4) is completed, the inlet portion of the garbage collection network 4 coincides with the through hole 105 formed at one side of the garbage collection box 3, so that the garbage collection network 4 Collected food waste is collected through the through hole 105 (3) to exit to the outside.

On the other hand, when the food waste is discharged to the outside of the waste collection box (3) by the above process, because the storage tank 106 is fixed to the through-hole forming portion of the waste collection box (3), the food out of the waste collection box (3) The trash is immediately put into the storage tank 106 and stored. In the state where the food waste completely exits the trash box 3, the user removes the pushing force of the lever 101 pushed to the left in the drawing. As one end of the spring 104 is connected to the lever 101 and the other end is connected to the sink stand main body 1, the lever 101 is eventually returned by receiving the restoring force of the spring 104. The garbage collection network 4 rotated in the direction is returned to its original state.

By the above process, the food waste exits the waste collection box 3 and is introduced into the storage tank 106, and then the user selects a fermentation mode provided in place of the sink unit main body 1 to the storage tank 106. The food waste may be fermented. Hereinafter, the operation of the food waste will be briefly described.

When the user selects the fermentation mode, the stirring blade 109 installed in the reservoir 106 receives the driving force of the motor 107 through the belt 108 to rotate and mix the food waste and the fermentation aid that was introduced into each other. At this time, the heater 110 installed on one side of the outer side of the reservoir 106 operates to heat the reservoir 106, and at the same time, an air supply device (not shown) operates to supply the air necessary for fermentation into the reservoir 106. As food waste is fermented, it turns into compost.

When the food waste is fermented in the storage tank 106 by the above process, fermentation gas is generated, and the generated fermentation gas has one end connected to the storage tank and the other end connected to the drain pipe 5 of the sink. Exit through the water pipe (5) through (111) and continue to the sewer.

As described above, the present invention is a food waste processor for fermenting the food waste generated by the use of the sink and the kitchen sink in the kitchen is systemized into one, so that it is very convenient to use and can be provided to consumers at a low price. In addition, the fermentation gas generated during the fermentation process of food waste does not spread to the room, but immediately exits to the sewer, so that the food waste can be treated under clean environmental conditions.
