Description

Home Food Disposer { Food waste disposer using action-sensor }

The present invention relates to a food processor, and more particularly, it is installed in a drain hole of a sink to crush food waste generated by washing dishes and food washing, etc. It relates to a food processor that can solve sanitation problems by preventing the backflow of sewage.

In the conventional food waste treatment process, the drain pipe of the sink is provided with a strainer in the kitchen of a general home or restaurant, thereby preventing the drain pipe from being clogged by food waste generated by washing dishes and food washing. As garbage accumulates, not only does the drainage not work smoothly, but also the food waste that accumulates causes a bad odor. When such food waste is left for a long time, not only does it produce a bad odor, but also insects and bacteria breed indoors. It adversely affects the kitchen and the surrounding environment. Therefore, in the kitchen of a home or restaurant, a sieve with food waste is withdrawn from the drain pipe and the food waste accumulated on the sieve is thrown into the food waste bin and discarded. These food wastes contain a large amount of moisture As a result, the volume is large and heavy, so it is not only expensive to dispose of it, but also has unsanitary problems. In the conventional technology, a waste food processor is installed at the drain of the sink to collect the crushed objects and flow them downward. It is a fine pulverizing means for pulverizing the pulverized objects introduced through the The fine grinder installed at the bottom of the hopper is composed of a metal housing, a pair of screws, a mesh, and a housing cover. The housing has an open front and a closed back cylindrical shape. The water outlet is located behind the lower surface of the housing, and is configured to be connected to the lower end of the hopper by being opened at the upper surface. Grinding screws are installed to rotate while interlocking with each other horizontally inside the housing, and when the helical-shaped teeth formed on the outer circumferential surface are meshed and rotated, the crushed objects introduced from the hopper are pulverized. The mesh is installed on the outside of the crushing screws, and a perforated surface is formed on the lower surface so that the moisture of the crushed objects crushed by the crushing screw is discharged through the water outlet. The housing cover is closed at the front and open at the rear Since it is formed in a cylindrical shape, it is detachably installed at the front of the housing. Also, a solids outlet is formed on the lower surface of the housing cover through which the solids of the pulverized objects pulverized by the pulverizing screw are discharged. It is formed in the direct lower part communicating with the outlet. The inside of the forced discharge means is carried out by an impeller that applies a rotational thrust forward, and is configured to rotate by receiving a strong rotational force from the motor. The prior art configured in this way can reduce the mass and volume of food waste by separating the pulverized objects introduced through the hopper into moisture and solid content through the pulverizer. However, since this prior art does not have a separate backflow prevention function, sewage water and odors from the drain pipe flow back, thereby increasing the inconvenience of use. In addition, since the prior art does not have a separate cleaning means, the internal In order to prevent odors from coming up from the air, it is cumbersome to periodically remove the housing cover and directly clean the internal structures. In addition, in the prior art, when metal such as spoons and chopsticks are introduced into the interior, the screws and A problem occurs in that the blades of the screws are damaged by collision.

As described above, when food waste is left unattended for a long time, not only odor is generated, but also insects and bacteria multiply, which adversely affects the indoor kitchen and the surrounding environment. The food waste accumulated in the sieve is taken out and disposed of in a food waste bin. Since these food wastes contain a large amount of water and are bulky and heavy, it is not only expensive to dispose of them, but also has unsanitary problems. The prior art configured in this way can reduce the mass and volume of food waste by separating the pulverized objects introduced through the hopper into moisture and solid content through a fine pulverizer. However, it is true that this prior art was not efficient because the overall function of the food processor was greatly expanded and expanded because it was intended to simultaneously process solid and liquid substances when initially inputting food waste. Introduced a phosphorus water removal system, and when 80~90% of moisture is removed, food is selected, solidified, crushed, etc. to generate odors, but after solidification, it is operated by a control panel containing various sensors such as discharge and removal Therefore, a more efficient and environmentally friendly food processing system was invented, and the good points of the existing ones were used mechanically and electrically.

The solution of the present invention for solving the above problems is to form a solid material of a certain shape in a food processor that pulverizes the pulverized objects flowing in and separates them into solids and water and discharges them, and a solids outlet through which the solids are discharged on one side. and a case in which a water outlet through which moisture is discharged is installed on the upper part of the case, and a hopper for allowing the crushing objects to flow into the case is installed inside the case, and crushing the crushed objects introduced through the hopper and a water discharge unit for discharging the water pulverized by the pulverizing unit to the outside of the case, and a driving unit for transmitting power to the pulverizing unit and the water discharging unit, wherein the pulverizing unit is installed inside the case to pulverize the pulverized objects and a water discharge unit installed outside the crushing means by means of crushing means for transferring the solid content of the objects to be pulverized to the front, and through which moisture of the objects pulverized by the crushing means is discharged, and the pulverizing means and a strainer having at least one solid distribution outlet through which the solids of the pulverized objects pulverized by The grinding gear installed on the grinding shaft, for crushing the grinding objects, is installed on the grinding shaft and includes a pressing gear for squeezing the grinding objects crushed by the grinding gear, the grinding means having a predetermined interval in the width direction.
