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

Referring to Figure 1, it will be described with respect to the think ball 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The sink 100 is a hollow housing 110 provided at the bottom of the sink (not shown), the discharge port 114 is provided at the bottom of the housing 110 to connect the food waste to the food processor 200. And a sieve 130 that is detachably mounted in the housing 110.

The housing 110 is mounted below the sink on the sink, and serves as a temporary storage space for introducing the food waste into the food processor 100, and also serves as a storage space for separating and discharging wastewater discharged from the food waste. do. Here, the housing 110 is preferably formed in a cylindrical structure to facilitate the removal of the upper and lower parts. A drain hole 112 is provided at the side of the housing 110 to form a flow path through which the sewage discharged through the strainer 130 may move to the drain 150.

In the housing 110, a sieve 130 is mounted, and the sieve 130 functions to separate water from food waste. Filter sieve 130 is configured in the form of a container is formed on the outer peripheral surface side sewer 132 and the bottom surface sewer 134. The sieve 130 may be separately provided with a handle 131 in order to facilitate the user detachable.

The outlet 114 may be eccentrically disposed with respect to the center of the housing 110.
