Description

Cooling system for food processor and food processor using same {COOLING SYSTEM FOR FOOD WASTE TREATMENT AND FOOD WASTE TREATMENT USING THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a cooling system for a food processor and a food processor using the same, and more particularly, a cooling system for a food processor capable of effectively cooling and condensing the gas generated through heating in the food processor, and discharging it in the form of a fluid. It relates to a food processor using the same.

Generally, each household or restaurant discharges a certain amount of residue (disposal food) daily, and these residues are used as livestock feeds or simply filtered through a simple screen to filter out the mixed water. This residue treatment method increases the amount of waste, and if the waste is not thrown away frequently, it causes odors and pollutes the surrounding air, so it is necessary to use a food processor.

In recent years, efforts have been made to reduce food waste at homes and restaurants, but it is difficult to control the amount of garbage that is gradually increasing. Environmental damage has been very serious.

Therefore, in recent years, the waste-based system has been implemented, and the government has made it mandatory to install a treatment device that can induce food, such as fermentation, drying or extinction, in each of the catering establishments or apartment complexes.

However, the food waste contains about 80 ~ 90% of moisture, and in order to reduce the amount, it is processed through drying and fermentation by heating, microbial reaction, etc. At this time, a large amount of moisture and high concentration of odor are generated. To solve this problem, another treatment has arisen.

In the conventional food processor, various kinds of gases are generated depending on the type of food, the period of neglect, the treatment temperature, etc., and when these gases are released to the outside of the food processor as they are, they may harm the human body. Since it is a high temperature state, a process of cooling and condensing it and discharging it in a fluid form is required.

However, in the conventional food processor, there is a problem that the efficiency of the system for cooling the gas generated through a process such as heating is inferior. If the efficiency of the cooling system is low, problems such as waste of energy, extended cooling time, and increased rate of non-condensation of gas in the form of fluid may occur.

In addition, in the conventional food processor, there is a problem that the gas remaining without condensation leaks out after passing through the cooling system. That is, there is a problem in that the condensed fluid is also discharged along with the gas which is not condensed through the drain hole discharged to the outside.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides a cooling system for a food processor and a food processor using the same to effectively discharge, in the form of a fluid by cooling and condensing the gas generated by heating in the food processor. Its purpose is to.

The cooling fan provides cooling air, and the cooling air enters into the cooling tank through the central rod.

A plurality of rib members protrude around the outer periphery of the case part.

It further comprises a buffer portion which is connected in fluid communication with the outlet is formed to store the fluid.

The buffer part includes a drain hole formed at one side of the lower surface of the buffer part, and a partition wall protruding radially around the drain hole.

The buffer unit includes a buffer upper case and a buffer lower case, and the partition wall includes a first barrier protruding inwardly from the buffer lower case, and a second barrier protruding inwardly from the buffer upper case and spaced apart from the first barrier. Characterized in that consists of.

The height of the first barrier may be controlled to control the height of the fluid stored in the buffer unit.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail with respect to the food treatment system for a food processor and the food processor using the same.

1 is a perspective view showing a part of an embodiment of a food processor according to the present invention.

One embodiment of the food processor according to the present invention is connected to the drying drum 110, the drying drum 110, which can stir, pulverize, and dry the food waste, as shown in Figure 1 of the drying drum 110 The cooling fan 130, which is connected to the circulation fan 120, the circulation fan 120 in which the gas generated therein is cooled, condenses the introduced gas into a fluid form, and the condensed fluid connected to the cooling tank 130 It is configured to include a buffer unit 150 for storing and discharging, a filter 180 for filtering a portion of the gas remaining without being condensed in the buffer unit 150 to discharge to the outside.

At this time, some of the gas remaining without being condensed in the buffer unit 150 may be discharged through the filter 180, and the remaining part of the gas is connected to the buffer unit 150 and the drying drum 110 again to dry the drum ( 110).

If described in detail with respect to the cooling system for a food processor according to the present invention with reference to Figure 2 to 4.

Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the components of the cooling tank according to an embodiment of the food system cooling system according to the present invention, Figure 3 shows a cooling tank of an embodiment of the food system cooling system according to the present invention, Figure 1 4 is a perspective view showing a spiral guide of an embodiment of a cooling system for a food processor according to the present invention.

The cooling tank 130 for a food waste processor according to the present invention is formed by extending up and down inside the case part 135 and the case part 135 including the upper case 138 and the lower case 132 and having a hollow central rod. 134, a spiral guide 136 spirally formed around the central rod 134, and a cooling fan 140 formed on the upper case 138 to cool the cooling tank 130.

The case part 135 prevents air communication with the outside by engaging the lower case 132 and the upper case 138 with each other. An opening 139 is provided in an upper portion of the upper case 138, and an outlet 146 is provided in a lower portion of the lower case 132.

The central rod 134 is a hollow hollow inside, and a portion of the cooling air generated by the cooling fan 140 is transferred through the opening 139 of the upper case 138 to pass through the central rod 134 and the cooling tank. 130 may be cooled, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 3.

A plurality of first rib members 142 protrude from the outer circumference of the lower case 132, and a plurality of second rib members 144 protrude from the outer circumference of the upper case 138. Can be formed. The first rib member 142 and the second rib member 144 have a wide cross-sectional area and function to exchange heat generated in the case part 135. In addition, the cooling air generated by the cooling fan 140 serves to cool the inside of the cooling tank 130 while passing between the plurality of first rib members 142 formed outside the upper case 138. The inside of the case part 135 is cooled while passing between the plurality of second rib members 144 formed outside the lower case 132.

Looking at the flow of cooling air 300 shown in Figure 3, a portion of the cooling air generated by the rotation of the cooling fan 140 forms a flow of cooling air 320 passing through the inside of the central rod 134, The remaining portion cools the cooling tank 130 while forming a flow 310 of cooling air passing between the first rib members 142 and between the second rib members 144.

The present inventors have a cooling efficiency by only the first rib member 142 and the second rib member 144 without the hollow central rod 134 and the first rib member 142, the second rib member 144, and In the experiment comparing the cooling efficiency by the hollow central rod 134, it was confirmed that the latter has a synergistic effect of about 20% of the cooling efficiency compared to the former case.

The flow 310 of cooling air passing between the plurality of first rib members 142 and the plurality of second rib members 144 cools the outer surface of the cooling tank 130 to thereby form the interior of the cooling tank 130. Since the gas passes through, the cooling efficiency decreases toward the center far from the outer surface of the cooling tank 130. On the other hand, in the present invention by forming a hollow central rod 134 to cool the gas passing through the interior of the cooling tank 130 by the flow of cooling air 320 passing through the interior of the central rod 134, hollow Compared with the case where the central rod 134 is not formed, the cooling efficiency is increased.

Referring to the flow of gas 400 shown in FIG. 4, the gas is descending spirally along the spiral guide 136 from the top to the bottom of the circumference of the central rod 134.

Since the spiral guide 136 is formed spirally around the central rod 134, the gas introduced through the circulation fan 120 moves from top to bottom along the spiral guide 136. At this time, the gas descends while rotating the circumference of the central rod 134 along the helical guide 136, so that the stagnation time inside the case portion 135 becomes long, and the case portion 135 and the central rod 134 Since the contact area becomes wider, the cooling efficiency is increased.

5 is a flow chart of the gas and cooling air in the cooling system for a food processor according to the present invention.

The cooling air flow 300 descends by supplying cooling air supplied by the cooling fan 140 to the inside of the central rod 134 and the outside of the cooling tank 130. Some of the flow of cooling air 300 supplied from the cooling fan 140 forms a flow of cooling air 320 passing through the inside of the central rod 134, and the other part of the flow of cooling air passes through the first rib member 142 and the first rib member 142. The cooling tank 130 is cooled while forming a flow 310 of cooling air passing between the first rib member 142 and between the second rib member 144 and the second rib member 144. In this drawing, the first rib member 142 and the second rib member 144 are omitted.

The flow 320 of the cooling air flowing into the cooling tank 130 passes only through the inside of the central rod 134, so that all parts of the cooling tank 130 except for the inside of the central rod 134 are sealed. Therefore, the gas flow 400 passing through the inside of the cooling tank 130 does not flow out. That is, the cooling system for a food processor according to the present invention is configured to efficiently cool the inner center of the cooling tank 130 and to prevent the outflow of the gas inside the cooling tank 130.

The gas flow 400 is supplied to the cooling tank 130 by the gas introduced through the circulation fan 120, and spirals around the central rod 134 in the cooling tank 130 along the spiral guide 136. Descending downwards. As the gas is lowered, the temperature is gradually lowered by the flow of cooling air supplied to the inside and the outside of the cooling tank 130, and accordingly, the amount of saturated steam is lowered, thereby condensing and changing into a fluid. It is discharged to the buffer unit 150 through the outlet 146.

When the gas exits through the outlet 146 and is discharged to the buffer unit 150, the gas is changed into a fluid, and some of the gas remaining in the form of the gas may be discharged through the filter 180, and again, the drying drum 110. It may be sent to the) to repeat the circulation via the circulation fan 120 and the cooling tank 130.

Next, the flow of the fluid in the buffer unit and the buffer unit of the food processor cooling system according to the present invention with reference to Figure 6 and 7 as follows.

6 is an exploded perspective view of each component of the buffer unit of the food processor cooling system according to the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a view of the buffer unit of the cooling system for the food processor according to the present invention. to be.

The buffer unit 150 includes a buffer lower case 152 and a buffer upper case 154. The buffer unit 150 includes a drain port 156 on one side of the lower surface of the buffer unit 150, and a lower side of the buffer lower case 152. It is provided with a drain pipe 162 connected to the drain port 156 to pass the fluid exiting from the buffer unit 150 to the outside.

The buffer lower case 152 and the buffer upper case 154 are formed to engage with each other so that the fluid including the gas supplied to the buffer unit 150 does not flow out.

Around the drain 156, a partition wall 159 is formed to protrude radially and surround it. The partition wall 159 may include a first barrier 158 protruding inwardly from the buffer lower case 152, and a second barrier 160 protruding inwardly from the buffer upper case 154.

The partition wall 159 including the first barrier 158 and the second barrier 160 serves as a trap device to keep the fluid always in the buffer unit 150.

That is, referring to the flow of fluid 165 shown in FIG. 7, when the fluid level is higher than the height of the first barrier 158, the fluid is discharged through the drain 156, while the fluid level is When the height is lower than the height of the first barrier 158, the fluid is trapped inside the buffer unit 150. In addition, the inside of the buffer unit 150 also exists in the form of a gas, which is blocked by the fluid accumulated in the buffer unit 150 and the second barrier 160 does not flow out.

The height of the first barrier 158 and the second barrier 160 may be determined according to the desired fluid level. The height of the first barrier 158 determines the level of the fluid trapped in the buffer unit 150, so that the height of the first barrier 158 can be adjusted according to the level of the appropriate fluid. For example, when the height of the first barrier 158 is designed to be too low, when all the trapped fluids evaporate as the food processor is not used for a predetermined time, the gas inside the buffer unit 150 is externally discharged. It will not act as a trap device because it is not blocked. On the other hand, when the height of the first barrier 158 is designed to be too high, the amount of fluid trapped inside the buffer unit 150 is too large, and the time for the fluid to stay inside the buffer unit 150 becomes long. As a result, the inside of the buffer unit 150 may be corrupted.

Therefore, according to the manner of use, the place of use, and the user of the food processor, the manufacturer of the food processor can determine the level of the desired fluid and simply adjust the height of the first barrier 158 accordingly.

The height of the second barrier 160 should be formed to a height sufficient to enclose the circumference of the first barrier 158 so that the gas inside the buffer unit 150 is blocked from the outside to serve as a trap device. have. In addition, the height of the second barrier 160 must be formed so that it does not reach the bottom surface of the buffer lower case 152 so that the fluid inside the buffer unit 150 can be discharged to the outside through the drain hole 156. Can be.
