Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view showing the shape of a food waste processor to which the present invention is applied.

2 is a side sectional view showing a food waste disposal system to which the present invention is applied.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the air supply device of the food waste processor according to the present invention includes a suction pipe of the external air inlet 50 and the internal air discharge unit 60 installed in the main body 10 of the food waste processor. The 51 and the discharge pipe 61 are installed to extend in a length corresponding to the volume of the storage portion 11 of the main body 10, and the plurality of discharge holes 53 and the suction holes 63 have a predetermined interval on the bottom of the body. ) Is formed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the external air inlet part 50 has a plurality of discharge holes 53 installed on the bottom of the body of the external air flowing inwardly through the suction fan 52 installed at one end of the suction pipe 51. Through) the fermentation operation by the stirrer 40 can be evenly supplied to the food waste (adduct).

In addition, at one end of the suction pipe 51 of the external air inlet 50, an air heater 80 may be installed and used to prevent cold air from being introduced from the outside directly.

That is, the air heater 80 installed inside the suction pipe 51 is installed in the inner center of the suction pipe 51 so that the outside cold air passes through the air heater 80, while the temperature of the cold air is sing-on, the ideal of the microorganism is ideal. It is possible to set the inflow air at an appropriate temperature to activate the active environment, that is, fermentation decomposition.

And, the set temperature of the air heater 80 is adjustable by the signal of the control unit 70 according to the nature and the amount of food waste introduced into the fermentation tank (30).

On the other hand, the suction pipe 51 of the external air inlet 50 has a length corresponding to the interior volume of the housing 11 of the main body 10, as shown in Figure 1 to the inner one side of the main body 10 Is installed.

The most important reason why the suction pipe 51 is formed to have a length corresponding to the inner size of the accommodating part 11 of the main body 10 is relatively relatively so that the outside air is evenly contacted with the whole food waste which is fermented by the stirrer 40. It has a long length and the suction pipe 51 is installed to one side of the stirrer 40.

Therefore, as described above, the suction pipe 51 of the external air inlet 50 has a relatively long length at one side of the stirrer 40, and then the outside air is fed into the food waste through the discharge hole 53 formed at the bottom of the body. By supplying, the fermentation activity of microorganisms is induced to enable food waste to be decomposed in a short time.

In addition, a plurality of discharge holes 53 installed at a plurality of predetermined intervals on the bottom surface of the suction pipe 51 set an angle so that external air can be discharged into the working radius of the stirrer 40 as shown in FIG. 2. It is desirable to.

That is, the biggest reason for setting the discharge hole 53 of the suction pipe 51 to the working radius of the stirrer 40 as described above is that when the user opens the input door 20 during operation, the discharge hole 53 is agitator ( Since the angle θ is set around the rotation axis 41 of 40, it serves to prevent backflow of odor gas even when the input door 20 is opened during operation.

In addition, since the discharge hole 53 is set at an angle θ about the rotation shaft 41 of the stirrer 40, external air is supplied evenly from the food waste to smoothly fermentation, thereby increasing the processing speed. It is.

On the other hand, the other side of the main body 10, the food waste fermented by the external air supplied through the discharge hole 53 of the external air inlet 50, steam and odor gas generated by the temperature rise during the fermentation process A discharge pipe 61 is installed to suck and discharge.

As shown in FIG. 1, the internal air discharge part 60 forming the discharge pipe 61 has a discharge fan 52 formed at one end of the body, so that water vapor and odor gas may be discharged to the bottom of the body of the discharge pipe 61. It is to serve to discharge to the outside through the suction hole 63 is formed.

Therefore, a plurality of suction holes 63 of the internal air discharge part 60 are also set to the bottom of the body of the discharge pipe 61 at predetermined intervals, like the discharge hole 53 of the external air inlet part 50.

In addition, the discharge pipe 61 is also provided with a length corresponding to a volume corresponding to the inner volume of the body 10 accommodating part 11, that is, a length corresponding to the size of the stirrer 40, similarly to the suction pipe 51. (11) It can quickly discharge odor and water vapor generated from the inside to the outside.

In addition, a deodorizer 85 is installed at one end of the discharge pipe 61 so as to primarily purify and discharge water vapor and odor gas discharged to the outside through the discharge fan 62.

In addition, the deodorizer 85 may be used by applying both a solid activated carbon or a liquid deodorant, and such a configuration is also included in the present invention.

On the other hand, the suction pipe 51 of the external air inlet 50 and the discharge pipe 61 of the internal air discharge unit 60 which are respectively installed to one side and the other side around the stirrer 40 inside the main body 10 are predetermined It is good to install with height difference (h) of.

1 and 2, the discharge pipe 61 of the internal air discharge unit 60 is installed on the other side of the main body 10, and the external air inlet unit 50 is formed around the stirrer 40. Since the suction pipe 51 is installed with a height difference (h) at a central portion of the side, when the input door 20 is opened for the processing of food waste, the suction fan 52 and the discharge by the signal of the control unit 70 As the fan 62 is operated at the same time, the inflow of external air and the discharge of the internal air are made.

In addition, when the inflow and discharge of the external air starts as described above, the external air introduced through the suction pipe 51 and in contact with the food waste is moved toward the discharge pipe 61 by inertia, where water vapor and odor gas are sucked into the suction hole ( Gathered in the discharge pipe 61 through 63) it can be discharged to the outside by the discharge fan 62.

That is, when the user opens the input door 20 during operation, since the external cold air is heavier than the internal temperature which is raised during the fermentation process, the internal air flows in through the input port 21 of the input door 20, and the internal air is dense. Since it is low and light, it is discharged by moving upward toward the discharge pipe (61).

Therefore, the packing support 22 of the inlet 21 is installed to have a predetermined length to the inside of the fermentation tank 30 so that the inflow and discharge of the outside air as described above can be easily proceeded, the external air introduced Is to serve as a guide so that more smoothly inward.

In addition, since the installation position of the inlet 21 of the inlet door 20 is set to be lower than the height of the discharge pipe 61 as described above, even when the inlet door 20 is opened during operation, backflow of odor gas can be prevented. In addition, the discharge of the internal air can be easily proceeded by the density difference of the air.

Therefore, the air supply device of the food waste disposer of the present invention is inside the main body 10 receiving portion 11 of the suction pipe 51 of the external air inlet 50 and the discharge pipe 61 of the internal air discharge 60. It is set to a size corresponding to the volume of the storage unit 11, and a plurality of discharge holes 53 and suction holes 63 are formed at predetermined intervals on the bottom of the body, thereby increasing the processing speed due to increased fermentation of food waste. And it is possible to quickly discharge the odor gas and water vapor.

According to the configuration of the present invention as described above, since the suction pipe and the discharge pipe of the internal air discharge portion of the food waste treatment machine has a relatively long shape and is installed on both sides of the stirrer, it activates the activity of the microorganisms during the fermentation of food waste. The work speed can be shortened, and the odor gas and water vapor inside the fermenter can be discharged quickly.

In addition, since the setting position of the suction pipe, the discharge pipe, and the input door is set with a predetermined height difference, it is possible to prevent the phenomenon of odor gas flowing back to the outside even when the input door is opened.

Therefore, it is a very useful invention that can improve the reliability and workability of the product.
