In this case, the fluid flowing from the fluid supply source through the sixth flow path 167 flows into the cylinder 151 through the fourth flow path 163, and the flow fluid thus flows into the piston 155. The piston 155 is moved downward by acting on the fluid pressure, and at the same time, the fluid contained in the lower side of the cylinder 151 is discharged to the fluid discharge port through the fifth flow path 165 and the seventh flow path 169, and thus downwards. The moved piston 155 moves the pressing plate 40 downward, and as a result, the piston And a compression plate (40) coupled to (155a) is exited to force the sewage contained in the garbage while pressing the garbage. The sewage that is discharged falls to the bottom of the body 10 through the strainer 20, and the collected sewage may be drained through the drain 11 by opening the valve 13.

In this case, as the upper side of the elevating rod 81 is engaged with the rotary cam plate 83a of the rotary shaft 83, the rotation of the rotary shaft 83 is prevented, and thus the rotation stopper 85 cannot be rotated, Even if the food waste is introduced through the inlet 5a, the food waste cannot be introduced into the main body 20.

On the other hand, to move the pressing plate 40 from the inside of the body 10 to the top, it is necessary to turn the adjustment knob (161a) of the fluid supply regulator 160 in the "separation" direction, in this case the adjustment knob (161a) By the cam 175a rotates in the opposite direction, the pressing force applied to the valve body 173 is released. Accordingly, the spring 177 inside the flow path switching chamber 171 moves the valve body 173 to the right. The valve body 173 moved by the spring 177 connects the fourth flow path 163 and the seventh flow path 169 and the fifth flow path 165 and the sixth flow path 167. In this case, in this case, the fluid flowing from the fluid supply source through the sixth flow path 167 flows into the lower side of the cylinder 151 through the fifth flow path 165, and the fluid thus introduced flows into the piston 155. The piston 155 moves upward by acting pressure, and at the same time, the fluid contained in the upper side of the cylinder 151 is discharged to the fluid discharge port through the fourth flow path 163 and the seventh flow path 169.

In this case, as the concave portion 81a of the elevating rod 81 is engaged with the rotation cam plate 83a of the rotation shaft 83, the rotation stopper 85 and the rotation shaft 83 may be rotated through the inlet 5a. Food waste can be introduced into the main body (20).

That is, by turning the adjusting knob 161a of the fluid supply regulator 160 in the "compression" or "separation" direction, the fluid is supplied into the cylinder 151 or the fluid inside the cylinder 151 is discharged. , The pressing plate driving means 150 is to be operated.

Therefore, when using the food waste treatment apparatus (1, 1 ') for the sink according to the present invention by rotating only the adjustment knobs (60a, 160a) from the outside to compress the food waste contained in the main body 20 to odor from food waste Sewage, which is the main cause of bacteria generation, can be forcibly separated, and such wastewater can be discharged through the drain hole 21 by opening the valve 23 to reduce the odor generated in food waste, and furthermore, By suppressing it becomes possible to create a more comfortable kitchen environment.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to one embodiment shown in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible therefrom.

As described above, according to the sink food waste treatment apparatus according to the present invention, by effectively removing the sewage from the food waste generated in the kitchen, while reducing the odor generated from the food waste at the same time to suppress the generation of bacteria to a more comfortable kitchen environment There is an advantage that can be formed.

In addition, by using the food waste treatment apparatus for the sink according to the present invention, by separating and collecting food waste in a reduced state by removing wastewater, it is possible to significantly reduce the cost of transporting food waste or incineration, thereby reducing environmental pollution. That has an excellent effect.
