The first rotary blade 54 may be formed to be inclined downward so as to be adjacent to the bottom surface of the drying barrel 30, the second rotary blade 56 is located above the first rotary blade 54. While, it can be formed to be inclined upward.

In addition, the stirring unit 58 may be further provided above the rotary blade unit 50. The stirring unit 58, while rotating concentrically with the rotary blade 50, serves to stir the food waste inside the drying bin (30).

For the above function, the stirring unit 58 is preferably composed of a plurality of plates extending perpendicular to the rotary shaft 62. The plates may be formed at the same height, but as shown in FIG. 1, they may be formed at different heights to increase agitation efficiency.

The body 10 is provided with a motor 60. The motor 60 serves to provide power so that the rotary blades 54 and 56 of the drying barrel 30 can rotate. That is, the rotation shaft 62 of the motor 60 passes through the bottom surface of the inner space S of the body portion 10 and is connected to the rotation body 52 of the rotary blade portion 50 of the drying barrel 30. To provide power.

In addition, a plurality of guides 12 are provided on the inner surface of the space S in the body 10. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the guide 12 is formed to have a wider cross-sectional area of a space in which the drying container 30 is to be seated upward from the bottom surface of the inner space S of the body part 10. And, the bottom end of the guide 12 is preferably formed narrower than the bottom surface of the drying barrel (30).

This is because when the drying barrel 30 is lowered along the guide 12 and pressed downward by the door 40, the drying barrel 30 is elastically in close contact with the door 40. To be fixed in the body portion 10.

The reflector 22 is provided at the tip of the magnetron 20. As shown in FIG. 1, the magnetron 20 is configured to penetrate through the side surface of the body portion 10, and the reflection unit may be configured to prevent the magnetron 20 from directly oscillating into the drying barrel 30. 22 may be further provided.

When the door 40 is closed and the drying bin 30 is pushed downward, the drying bin 30 is completely inserted into the guide 12 so as not to flow in the body portion 10. do. In addition, the through hole 34 of the cover portion 32 is also positioned to communicate with the air outlet (42).

When the door 40 is closed stably, power is applied to the processing apparatus of the present invention. Then, power is applied to the magnetron 20. The magnetron 20 receives power to form a microwave and starts oscillating.

The microwave proceeds to the space (S) inside the body portion 10, while hitting the reflecting portion 22 is reflected to the bottom surface of the inside of the body portion 10, directly toward the drying barrel 30 It won't oscillate.

On the other hand, the power is applied to the motor 60 to drive the motor (60). The rotational force of the motor 60 is transmitted to the rotary blades 54 and 56 through the coupling part 70 which is the rotation shaft 62 and the rotation body 52. As the rotary blades 54 and 56 rotate, the first rotary blade 54 is stirred while crushing the food waste in the lowermost layer.

Then, the second rotary blade 56 is stirred while grinding the food waste of the upper layer. Then, the food waste rising by the rotation of the first rotary blade 54 is stirred while being crushed by the second rotary blade 56.

In addition, while the stirring unit 58 rotates, the food waste inside the drying container 30 is stirred as a whole. Then, the food waste inside the drying bin 30 is dried while being crushed as a whole.

On the other hand, the magnetron 20 generates heat while oscillating the microwave, the power is transmitted to the pump 86, the cooling water of the pipe (P), the cooling of the frame portion 82 of the magnetron 20 Heat is exchanged with the magnetron 20 while passing through the flow path 84.

While cooling the magnetron 20, the cooling water becomes a high temperature, flows into the heat pump 88, is cooled again, and the magnetron 20 is continuously cooled while repeating the above-described process by the pump 86 again. Let's go.

In addition, while the food waste is dried in the drying bin 30, water vapor containing the odor generated in the drying bin 30 is discharged to the outside through the air outlet (42). At this time, the odor is purified by the filter unit 44 provided in the air outlet 42, the purified steam is discharged to the outside.

The rights of the present invention are not limited to the embodiments described above, but are defined by what is stated in the claims, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications and adaptations within the scope of the rights described in the claims. It is self-evident.
