With reference to the accompanying drawings will be described the operation of the natural circulation food waste collection and treatment apparatus according to the present invention.

2 and 3, the food waste 70 introduced into the pipe line 40 is dropped in an acceleration-decreased state while passing through the buffer pocket 10 installed at a predetermined interval along the inside of the pipe line 40.

That is, the food waste 70 introduced into the pipe line 40 falls along the inside of the pipe line 40 and enters the buffer pocket 10. At this time, since the opening and closing band 11 for opening and closing the bottom of the buffer pocket 10 is installed at the bottom of the buffer pocket 10, the food waste 70 does not pass directly through the buffer pocket 10. ) If the weight is heavier than the contraction force of the opening and closing band 11 stacked to some extent inside the opening and closing band 11 is extended to fall down. This process is repeated every time the food waste 70 passes through the buffer pocket 10 installed in plurality.

The food waste 70 passing through the plurality of buffer pockets 10 installed in multiple stages is a connection pipe line 50 connecting the pipe line 40 and the food waste processing device 60 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4. Fall. At this time, the food waste 70 falling into the connection pipe line 50 passes through the safety pocket (20). The safety pocket 20 is a food waste 70 that is introduced into the safety pocket 20 in a closed state by a pair of opening and closing magnets 21 installed on both sides of the floor does not pass directly through the safety pocket 20. When the weight of the pair of the opening and closing magnets 21 is continuously greater than the pulling force, the opening and closing magnets 21 are opened and the bottom outlet of the safety pocket 20 is opened and dropped therein. do.

More specifically, when the food waste 70 accumulates inside the safety pocket 20 and the weight of the food waste 70 is greater than a pair of opening and closing magnets 21 attracting each other, the pair of opening and closing magnets that are attached to each other. (21) falls and this causes the food waste 70 falls while the bottom of the safety pocket 20 is opened.

The food waste 70 dropped below the safety pocket 20 falls on the opening / closing door 31. As shown in FIG. 5, when the food waste 70 dropped on the opening and closing door 31 continues to accumulate, the opening and closing door 31 is centered on the hinge shaft 34 when the force to open the opening and closing door 31 becomes greater than the closing force of the opening and closing door 31. Rotate down to pour down food waste (70). At this time, the operating lever 32 connected to the hinge shaft 34 together with the rotation of the opening and closing door 31 rotates together with the hinge shaft 34 and pulls down the operating spring 33. After spilling the food waste 70, when the force to open the opening and closing door 31 applied to the opening and closing door 31 disappears, the force of the operating spring 33 for pulling the opening and closing door 31 is stronger and the operating spring 33 is returned to its original state. As the contraction restoration is restored, the opening and closing door 31 again rotates around the hinge shaft 34 to block the passage of the connection pipe line 50.

Looking at the operation of the opening and closing means according to another embodiment of the present invention, when the food waste 70 is accumulated in the opening and closing door 31 as shown in Figure 6 when the detection sensor detects this signal to the control unit the hydraulic device of the hydraulic cylinder Activate (35). That is, as the rod of the hydraulic cylinder is extended, the left and right pairs of opening and closing doors 31 which are blocking the passage of the connection pipe line 50 simultaneously open downward and the food waste 70 falls down. At this time, the rod end of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the opening and closing door 31 so as to be rotatable by the hinge shaft and the upper portion of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the connecting pipe line 50 to be rotatable by the hinge shaft to open and close the opening and closing door 31. The opening and closing door 31 can be smoothly opened and closed while the installation angle of the hydraulic cylinder is variable along the operation process.

When food waste 70 is completely poured out, the detection sensor detects this and gives a signal to the control unit, the load of the hydraulic cylinder is reduced and the door 31 opens and closes the passage of the connection pipe line 50. On the other hand, the detection sensor installed in the opening and closing door 31 may use a variety of sensors as needed, such as a sensor for detecting the weight of the food waste 30 or a sensor for detecting the food waste itself.

The following describes the operation of the dehumidifier. As shown in FIG. 7, steam generated during the fermentation and decomposition of food waste in the food waste processing apparatus 60 collected is introduced into the main body 210 through an inflow pipe line 220. More specifically, the steam inside the food waste treatment apparatus 60 is introduced into the cooling water 211 stored in the main body 210 along the inlet pipe line 220. At this time, as the cooling water 211 stored in the main body 210 is circulated along the inside of the circulation pipe line 240, steam introduced into the main body 210 along the inlet pipe line 220 joins with the cooling water 211. It is introduced into the cooling water 211 stored in the main body 210 in the state.

On the other hand, the steam is joined with the cooling water 211 and introduced into the cooling water 211 stored in the main body 210, the water vapor condenses in accordance with the difference in the temperature at which the steam is cooled to change to a liquid state. At this time, as the steam flows into the cooling water 211, the hot air inside the main body 210 passing through the cooling water 211 naturally rises and is supplied into the food waste treatment apparatus 60 along the discharge pipe line 230. . The heated air in the main body 210 supplied into the food waste treatment device 60 accelerates the drying of the food waste and this dehumidification cycle is repeated continuously.

In addition, the cooling water 211 stored in the main body 210 that absorbs the heat of the steam while the steam is introduced, along the circulation pipe line 240 by the operation of the circulation pump 241 installed at one end of the circulation pipe line 240. Cooling means such as a radiator 243, a cooling pump 244, a cooling device 245, which moves from the inside of the main body 210 to the outside of the main body 210 and installed in the circulation piping line 240 outside the main body 210 ( While passing through 242, the heat absorbed by the steam is released and joined with the steam in a cooled state to be introduced into the main body 210.

On the other hand, when the condensation is introduced into the cooling water 211 inside the main body 210 and the level of the cooling water 211 rises, the cooling water 211 naturally discharges to the outside of the main body 210 through the overflow pipe 250. . Therefore, the level of the coolant 211 inside the main body 210 can always be kept constant. Cooling water 211 discharged through the overflow pipe 250 is recyclable and can be reused in a bed or toilet.

In addition, when it is desired to completely discharge the coolant 211 stored in the main body 210 for cleaning, the control means such as a valve installed in the drain pipe 260 is opened to completely discharge the coolant 211 from the outside of the main body 210. Just do it.

The following describes the operation of the food waste treatment device. As shown in FIG. 8, the food waste introduced into the primary fermentation cracking chamber 611 of the food waste processing apparatus 60 via the connection pipe line 50 is agitated by the stirring blade formed on the stirring shaft 620. By primary fermentation decomposition takes place. At the same time, as the heat medium 631 stored in the storage tank 630 is heated by the heating means, and the heat of the heated heat medium 631 is transferred to the primary and secondary fermentation cracking chambers 611 and 612. Optimum environment for fermentation and decomposition can be created.

After a certain period of time, when the food waste capacity inside the primary fermentation cracking chamber 611 becomes saturated, the food waste is naturally agitated through the passage 615 of the partition wall 614 while being stirred by the stirring blades of the stirring shaft 620. The primary fermentation cracking chamber 612 is moved. The food waste moved to the secondary fermentation cracking chamber 612 is manufactured as a solid fuel or environmentally friendly fertilizer for combustion through a secondary fermentation cracking process which is fermented and decomposed by microorganisms as in the primary fermentation cracking chamber 611.

As described above, the present invention reduces the acceleration of food waste 70 falling along the pipe line 40 by installing the buffer pocket 10 in a predetermined section of the pipe line 40 so that the food waste 70 falls. As well as reducing the impact of the food waste 70 to be smoothly and safely discharged along the pipe line 40 inside. In addition, by installing a safety pocket 20 in the connection pipe line 50 to reduce the fall acceleration of the food waste 70 falling to the connection pipe line 50 food waste 70 safely and smoothly connected pipe line The steam of the food waste treatment apparatus 60 is connected by allowing the fall along the 50 and installing the opening and closing means 30 in the connecting pipe line 50 to control the opening and closing of the passage of the connecting pipe line 50. Block backflow to the pipe line (50).

In addition, during the fermentation and decomposition of food waste treatment, steam generated in the food waste treatment apparatus 60 is introduced into the cooling water 211 stored in the main body 210, and the hot air inside the main body 210 is treated with food waste. Through the dehumidification cycle of supplying the inside of the device 60, the food waste fermentation effect of microorganisms introduced into the food waste processing device 60 may be promoted. In addition, by reducing the water content of food waste by 70% to 80%, it can reduce the leachate during the fermentation and decomposition process of food waste, discharge clear purified water and lighten the food waste, and ferment and decompose food waste with microorganisms. Solid fuels or affinity fertilizers can be prepared.
