The present invention relates to a sterilizing deodorizing dry food waste bin for sinks, and more particularly to an ultraviolet lamp having excellent sterilizing deodorizing power in food waste, and to allow sewage of the storage bin for storing food waste to the drain, and the food waste stored in the storage bin. It relates to a food waste bin having a blowing fan to dry.

In general, households put food waste in plastic bags, and when a certain amount is collected, they are thrown away in the food waste collection box.

Households living in apartments also collect food wastes that day and throw them away into the food waste collection bins in the complex.

However, food wastes are easily polluted at room temperature due to the large amount of water, causing odors. Especially, apartments have limited indoor spaces.

In addition, the odor leaked to the outside (use a corridor, elevator, etc. to throw away in the collection box located inside), causing a lot of problems in the storage and disposal of food waste, such as discomfort to neighboring residents.

In order to solve this problem, the present application has been repeated the following research and experiment.

The present application was installed inside the trash can so as to irradiate the inside of the trash can sterilization lamp () in the amount to be installed in the sink as shown in Figure 1 and then stored food waste.

And smell was confirmed every day odor occurs. As a result of the check, no odor could be confirmed for more than 5 days.

However, about 8 days later, when the food waste was removed, the inside of the food waste decayed, causing an unpleasant odor.

After that, experiments and studies were repeated continuously, and the smell was confirmed after 4 days in the state of maintaining the temperature of the laboratory at 30 degrees. In other words, emptying the bin within five days is no problem.

However, if the trash can not be emptied due to going out for a long time, the problem must be solved. The problem has been solved in the following, please look at the purpose and configuration.

to the next

The sterilized deodorizing ultraviolet lamp applied to the present application will be recorded in advance.

 Various means for sterilization and deodorization of the space where waste organic matter is discharged and stored have been tried, and among them, the photooxidation method using ultraviolet and ozone has obtained good response in terms of efficiency and cost.

Ozone has an oxidizing power of 2.07 eV, which is next to fluorine and OH- to oxidize all metals, microorganisms and organic materials except platinum and gold, and destroys the cell walls and protoplasts of various bacteria. It has a strong bactericidal power and has been shown to remove more than 99.9% of bacteria, as well as fungi, moss and viruses within 10 seconds. In addition, ozone can also sterilize non-irradiated surfaces without strong deodorizing effect and ultraviolet rays.

The lamp system does not contain toxic nitrogen oxides (nox) in the generated ozone gas and can expect synergistic effects with ultraviolet rays by the photooxidation method.At this time, the lamp must generate short wavelengths with strong germicidal power and energy. Low pressure mercury lamps made of glass are used.

Principle and sterilization effect of the photo-oxidation method using a combination of ultraviolet and ozone are as follows.

Although ozone has strong oxidizing power and benefits such as inhibition of THM formation, improvement in sedimentation and biological activity, ozone reacts with organic matters such as slow reaction with most organic matters or no reaction with any organic matters. This highly selective was pointed out as a drawback, and in order to improve it, an advanced oxidation method (AOP: An advanced oxidation process has been developed and is called photooxidation.

The photooxidation method relies on OH radicals produced as intermediates instead of injecting separate oxidants to increase reactivity, and hydrogen peroxide is formed as intermediates in the initial reaction stage when ozone is photodegraded by ultraviolet energy. It generates OH radcal through various paths, and this OH radical increases the sterilizing power of UV and ozone by more than 100 times.

That is, the removal reaction of organic matter by the photooxidation method is classified into a path that is directly reacted with ozone, a path that is removed by OH radicals, and a path that is photodegraded by ultraviolet light, and thus 10 times or more than when ozone is used alone Excellent synergistic effect of more than 104 times is obtained. Especially, since OH radical has high redox potential next to fluorine (F) and strong oxidation power, the photooxidation method by UV and ozone is not only high sterilization effect but also various organic substances and harmful substances. It is a process that can be very effectively applied to decomposed odor removal of substances and various sewage treatment processes.

In order to solve the conventional problems as described above, the present application aims as follows.

1) Food waste bins are installed in the sink, but the purpose of the irradiation of sterilizing deodorizing ultraviolet lamps in the food waste bins,

2) The 0FF 'ON operation to cut off or apply the power of the UV lamp installed in the food waste bin is to operate according to whether the lid is opened or closed.

3) The purpose of the food waste bins to be installed in the sink bowl of the sink to facilitate the input of food wastes,

Example

After this configuration, after opening the lid to put food waste into the storage container located in the housing 18 and sealing the lid, the operating part 31 of the switch 30 is compressed by the lid 14 to sterilize the lamp 21. Current is applied. On the contrary, when the lid is opened, the operation part 31 of the switch 30 compressed in the lid cuts off power to the sterilizing lamp 21.

In other words, the ON / OFF switch is operated by the lid 14 to interrupt the power of the sterilizing lamp 21.

Here, the sterilization lamp 21 examines the food waste stored in the storage container 24. Therefore, the food waste is sterilized and no odor is generated.

And the food waste stored in the reservoir 24 is discharged to the sewer via the sewage contained in the waste via the strainer 22 and the drain trap 25 located at the bottom of the housing.

In addition, the ON / OFF switch switched by the lid 14 operates the blower fan 52 (the blower can be operated by a control device not shown).

When the blowing fan 52 is operated, air is introduced into the inlet hole 30 of the housing 18, and the inlet air passes through the food waste stored in the storage container 24, passes through the strainer 22, and discharges the hole 51. Through the air.

As mentioned above, even though the sterilization lamp 21 was emitted to the food waste stored in the storage bin, it was found that after 4 days, the inside of the food waste proceeded to rot.

Therefore, after two days, the control device, not shown, sets the blower fan 52 to operate or continuously blows it. For example, a 5-minute stop after a 30-minute operation, so that the 5-minute stop time is provided, the blower fan 52 is extended in life. Even if you go out for a long time by blowing as described above, the food waste stored in the storage bin is dried by the blowing and does not rot.
