In addition, the inside of the body 21 in the rear of the middle exhaust part 23 is provided with a baffle plate 24 which allows the upper part of the body 21 to be open and only the lower part is blocked, so that the wind flowing into the body 21 is the middle exhaust part. It can be discharged uniformly to the 23 and the rear exhaust (22).

In addition, when the warm wind coming out of the two places of the upper and middle exhaust portion 23 and the rear exhaust portion 22 circulates the entire interior of the container 2, drying the food waste, the entire interior of the container 2 The air rising upward while being circulated maintains a high temperature even though the temperature is lowered by drying food waste inside the container 2, and this hot air is maintained at the tip of the air inlet pipe 14 and the container 2. As described above, some are exhausted to the upper exhaust port 12 while the other is exhausted to the lower exhaust port 13 while flowing back into the air inlet pipe 14 through the space gap S formed between the inner wall surfaces. (2) It will be recycled to re-dry food waste inside to minimize heat loss.

And, if the stirring blade 27 is installed in the collecting box 11, while stirring the food waste received in the collecting box 11 as the stirring blade 27, the warm air in the middle exhaust portion 23 and the rear exhaust portion 22 By blowing into two places, food waste can be dried more effectively.

Then, as described above, when the outside air is introduced into the drying casing 8 through the air inlet 6, the reverse valve 10 formed of a thin rubber film is opened by the force of the outside air to be introduced, thereby introducing the outside air. When the operation of the blower fan 9 is stopped, the stationary valve 10 formed of a thin rubber film returns to its original position to block the air inlet 6 so that the smell in the dry casing 8 leaks to the outside. You will not be able to go out. At the front end of the inlet port 15 inserted into the air outlet 7 is provided with a known reverse valve 32 to block the reverse flow is exhausted to the outer exhaust port 17, but the reverse flow does not occur.

As described above, the air circulation structure of the food waste treatment apparatus of the present invention forms an exhaust portion that blows hot wind into a container in which food waste is contained, respectively, in the middle part and the rear part, thereby creating hot winds throughout the inside of the container. By blowing evenly, food wastes can be dried quickly and baffle plate is installed at the rear of the middle exhaust to blow the hot wind to the middle part, and heaters are installed at the front and rear of the middle exhaust respectively. And the rear exhaust will have the effect of uniformly blowing hot wind.
