As shown in Fig. 5c, the exhaust duct 26 described above is

In order to discharge the purified air discharged through the opening 10a of the second connector 25 and the supporter 24 to the outside of the building where the food waste disposer is installed indoors, the first It is characterized in that the exhaust duct 26 to which the connector 23 is connected is extended to have an arbitrary length.

For this reason, the purified air obtained by purifying the malodorous gas discharged from the stirring barrel 11 by the first deodorizing unit (B) and the second deodorizing unit (C) passes through the long exhaust duct 26 to the building. By discharging to the outside, it is possible to create a more comfortable environment in the room where the food waste processor is installed.

In the drawings, reference numeral 35 denotes a heating unit (not indicated) in which a heater 17 constituting the second deodorizing unit (B) of the parallel cartridge type is installed, and a deodorizing unit in which the catalyst 18 is filled (reference numeral) As an insulating material (as an example, a thermal storage material may be used) that is interchangeably accommodated in the insulating part (not shown) formed integrally between the As the thermal insulation material 35 is simultaneously heated and stored, the catalyst 18 can be regenerated by the thermal insulation force transmitted from the thermal insulation material 35 stored at an arbitrary temperature even when the operation of the heater 17 is temporarily stopped.

Hereinafter, an example of the use of the purified air discharging device of the food waste treatment machine according to an embodiment of the present specification will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8 , the stirring barrel 11 into which the food waste containing moisture is put is accommodated, and the casing 12 and the stirring barrel 11 in which the lid 13 is operably mounted on the upper opening to open and close. ) through both sides to rotate the stirring shaft 28, which is installed rotatably, and the stirring shaft 28 by a power transmission means (a drive sprocket, a connecting chain, and a driven sprocket not shown may be used). , A driving motor 29 driven in the reverse direction, a control unit (not shown) (PCB) for controlling the driving motor 29, and a UV lamp barrel of the first deodorizing unit (B) from the stirring barrel 11 A UV lamp 15 for deodorizing the odor gas sucked in (16) with ozone, and a heater 17 for burning and processing the odor gas moved to the second deodorizing unit C in the form of a parallel cartridge; , It is regenerated by high-temperature treatment with periodic heating of the heater 17, and contains the catalyst 18 of the deodorizer 19 that deodorizes moisture and reactants adsorbed to the catalyst 18 by a catalytic reaction during heating. Since the technical contents are commonly used in the technical field to which the present specification belongs, detailed descriptions of their configurations and operations will be omitted.

Therefore, according to the purified air discharging device of the food waste processor according to the embodiment of the present specification,

When the microorganisms put into the food waste containing the moisture put into the agitation barrel 11 are mixed with the stirring rod 30 and decomposed or destroyed, the odor gas containing the moisture emitted from the blower fan connected to the drive motor ( 20) is moved to the UV lamp barrel 16 of the first deodorizing unit (B) connected to the elbow-shaped inlet pipe 31 to the outlet of the stirring barrel 11 by the suction force.

That is, the odor gas containing moisture discharged from the outlet of the stirring barrel 11 due to the rotation of the blower fan 20 is sucked into the UV lamp barrel 16 of the first deodorizing part B of the cylindrical shape with an empty interior. In this case, it reacts with ozone generated by UVc, which is an ultraviolet ray emitted from the ultraviolet lamp 15 installed in the longitudinal direction inside the UV lamp barrel 16 .

The malodorous gas sucked into the first deodorizing unit (B) reacts with ozone generated by the UV lamp 15 of the UV lamp barrel 16, and the mixed gas generated by the ozone reaction is discharged from the first deodorizing unit (B). It is moved to the second deodorizing unit (C) in the form of a parallel cartridge through the U-shaped connecting pipe (32).

That is, the malodorous gas sucked into the second deodorizing unit C of the parallel cartridge type is removed by drying the water vapor contained in the malodorous gas by heating the heater 17 that maintains an arbitrary temperature constituting the second deodorizing unit C. and the odor gas is burned.

After passing through the aforementioned heater 17, the malodorous gas passing through the ∩-shaped connection pipe 33 passes through the catalyst 18 (as an example, manganese dioxide may be used) of the deodorization tube 19. .

That is, since the catalyst 18 of the second deodorizing unit C is heated to about 120° C. by the heating of the heater 17 and treated at a high temperature, the odor component adsorbed to the catalyst 18 can be desorbed.

Therefore, by the ultraviolet lamp 15 of the first deodorizing unit (B) of the cylindrical shape, the heater 17 of the second deodorizing unit (C) of the parallel cartridge type, and the catalyst 18 of the deodorizing tube 19 Purified clean air from which odor components are removed may be discharged to the outside through the L-shaped connection pipe 34 .

That is, the clean air discharged through the above-described L-shaped connection pipe 34 passes through the blower fan outlet 21 mounted on the mounting part 20 of the base 10, and communicates with the blower fan outlet 21. It passes through the inlet formed on one side of the mounting portion 22 formed on the upper surface of the base 10 so as to be possible.

Therefore, the clean air passing through the L-shaped connection pipe 34 is exhausted with the first connector 23 communicating with the inlet of the mounting part 22 and the second connector 25 connected with the outlet of the supporter 24 . It is discharged to the outside along the duct (26). At this time, since the second connector 25 communicates with the opening 10a penetrating through the bottom surface of the base 10, the purified clean air passing through the outlet of the exhaust duct 26 can be discharged to the outside.

5a, 6 and 7, as the exhaust duct 26 described above is formed in a flexible corrugated pipe shape and the first and second connectors 23 and 25 are formed at both ends, the exhaust duct 26 is The first and second connectors 23 and 25 can be easily fitted and connected to the first and second coupling grooves 22a and 24a formed in the mounting portion 22 and the connector 24 to correspond thereto in a one-touch manner, and the exhaust duct When the 26 is seated on the U-shaped guide passage 27 formed on the upper surface of the base 10, the exhaust duct 26 in the form of a flexible corrugated pipe can be freely bent at the corner of the guide passage 27 to be seated. there will be
