Hereinafter will be described the operating state of the food waste extinction treatment apparatus using the microorganism according to the present invention configured as described above.

Food waste extinction treatment apparatus according to the present invention can be implemented separately or mixed use of the operation when the food waste is input through the outlet 210 and the inlet 240, respectively. Therefore, the following description of the operating state will be described by dividing the case where the food waste is input through the outlet 210 and the case where the food waste is input through the inlet 240.

First, when food waste is introduced through the outlet 210, when the cover 230 of the discharge pipe 220 is opened, the detection switch 232 detects the open state of the outlet 210, injects the food waste, and covers Closing the 230, the collection screw 300 is rotated.

At this time, if the food waste and sewage is introduced through the discharge port 210, the double sewage is discharged through the discharge housing filter 330 through the collection housing 200 to be guided to the lower discharge pipe 270, the food waste discharge observation The filter 330 is filtered.

In addition, the food waste filtered by the discharge observation filter 330 is transported to the left side by the collection screw 300. At this time, the collected food is transported to the left through the collection screw 300 and the crushing rib 310, and a part thereof is collected. Will be crushed.

Since the collected food waste is then located at the inlet 501 of the extinction housing 500, the closed door 400 is in a closed state, so the moisture generated during the collection of food waste through the guide tube 340 It is drained to the lower discharge pipe 270 side, and only the food waste from which much moisture is removed remains at the inlet 501 of the extinction treatment housing 500.

In this state, the user opens the sealed door 400 through the external operation display unit 120 or automatically sets the setting itself so that the sealed door 400 is opened after a predetermined time and the motor 450 is opened. When rotated in one direction, the closed door 400 is opened by the interlocking of the rack 430 and the pinion 440 at this time. Accordingly, the food collected at the inlet 501 of the annihilation housing 500 is dropped into the annihilation housing 500.

As such, when it is determined that all the food waste introduced through the discharge port 210 is dropped into the extinction housing 500, an operation of closing the closed door 400 is required again, in which case the sealed door 400 is extinguished. 500) Minimize the odor inside the leakage to the collecting housing.

When the food waste is put into the vanishing processing housing 500, the motor 500 operates to mix the microorganism and the food waste stored in the vanishing processing housing 500 to the pulley 530 through the belt 540. By transmitting the power, the rotation of the pulley 530, the stirring shaft 511 and the stirring blade 512 of the stirrer 512 is rotated so that the food waste and microorganisms are mixed well, food waste is disposed of.

Next, food waste may be input through the inlet 240. Here, the food waste introduced through the outlet 210 will be used for proper collection of food waste generated during general dish washing.

However, since the food waste generated during cooking has a considerable volume, more efficient food waste extinction treatment may be achieved by directly injecting the food waste through the inlet 240 having a larger diameter than the outlet 210.

At this time, the food waste treatment is opened after the cover 260, the food waste is put in, and closing the cover 260, the collection screw 300 is operated to crush the food waste at the same time the inlet 501 of the extinction housing (500) Transfer processing.

As such, various wastewater generated when food waste is introduced through the inlet 240 is drained along the inclined surface of the collection housing 300 to the discharge observation filter 330, and the entrance of the other extinction treatment housing 500 is different. Sewage leaked to 501 is guided to the lower discharge pipe 270 side through the guide pipe 9340, so that most of the waste water is removed.

And when the food waste is located at the inlet 501 of the extinction processing housing 500, as described above, the motor 450 for the operation of the closed door 400 is operated to open the closed door 400.

Therefore, when the closed door 400 is opened, the food waste is introduced into the extinction housing 500, and after the food waste is introduced into the extinction housing 500, the closed door 400 is closed to extinguish the housing. The odor inside the 500 is blocked to proceed to the collecting housing 200 side.

Subsequently, the food waste introduced into the extinction housing 500 is extinguished by the microorganisms in the extinction housing 500, so that extinction treatment is performed.

On the other hand, although the odor is to be removed by the exhaust pipe 560, even if the odor is blocked by the closed door 400, even a small portion of the odor can proceed to the collecting housing 200 side.

However, the odor at this time is the odor leak prevention portion provided in the cover 230 of the discharge pipe 220 and the cover 260 of the input pipe 250, that is, blocking projections (231, 261) of the cover (230, 260) ) Is inserted into the recessed grooves 221 and 251 formed at the top of the discharge pipe 220 and the input pipe 250, but the water reservoir 110 is locked in the water stored in the recessed grooves 221 and 251. Entry to the kitchen is minimized.

As described above, the food waste extinction processing apparatus using the microorganism according to the present invention is installed directly on the sink 100 of the kitchen so as to extinguish the food waste generated during cooking, and substantially installed in the sink 100 of the kitchen. Make it available.

Therefore, it may be possible to apply a modified part of the applied configuration or a modified part of the control part for the operation state, but basically to extinguish the food waste generated in the kitchen, but the odor and sewage generated at this time may be applied to the technique of the present invention. If it is implemented as a plurality of sewage control structure and odor removal and odor leakage prevention structure should all be included in the technical scope of the present invention.

The food waste extinction processing apparatus using the microorganism according to the present invention as described above is directly installed in the kitchen sink to directly dissipate the food waste generated during cooking, so as to fundamentally block the generation of food waste in the kitchen. In addition, there is an effect that it is possible to substantially install and use in the kitchen sink by minimizing the removal and leakage of odor generated during the disposal of food waste at this time.
