Input is made. At this time, food waste entering along the inclined surface 22 pushes the rotating door 210, and the rotating door 210 naturally rotates around the hinge 212 so as not to interfere with the entry of food waste. . In addition, when food waste enters the entrance 24 along the slope 22, the pivoting door 210, with the pushing force of the food waste released, rotates around the hinge 212 and returns to its original position, thereby causing the slope ( 22) is closed to prevent the odor generated from food waste from being released to the outside.

The crushing unit 30 is located below the hopper 20 and receives food waste entered through the hopper 20 and crushes it, thereby improving the dehydration efficiency of the food waste and improving drying efficiency. .

That is, the discharge port 316 is formed in a pipe shape, and its inner side is configured to communicate with the receiving space 315 of the outer cylinder 314.

The grinding blade 320 is located inside the grinding housing 310, that is, inside the inner cylinder 312, and serves to substantially crush food waste entering through the hopper 20.

The grinding blade 320 has a disk 322 formed inside the inner cylinder 312.

In addition, the disk 322 is provided with a cutter 324 that protrudes at a certain height and rotates at high speed to crush food waste. The cutter 324 is formed at a certain height from the disk 322 and is formed radially at equal intervals.

The pulverized food waste below is transferred upward through the transfer screw 420. At this time, the pulverized food waste transported from the bottom to the top through the transfer screw 420 is naturally agitated, and through this, the moisture contained in the pulverized food waste falls downward. In addition, the pulverized food waste that has undergone natural dehydration is concentrated downward by its own weight and is thus concentrated within the transfer screw 420. In the end, the pulverized food waste transported through the transfer screw 420 is subjected to primary dehydration due to the shape of the transfer pipe 410 inclined from the bottom to the top, and moisture is removed through the primary dehydration process. The pulverized food waste is naturally concentrated downward due to the space, and a secondary dehydration process is performed through the concentration of the concentrated food waste, thereby improving drying efficiency by dehydrating the pulverized food waste during the transport process.

Meanwhile, the transfer unit 40 provides compression force to the food waste discharged through the transfer pipe 410, so that a third dehydration process is performed before the food waste is discharged to the drying unit 50, thereby drying the food waste. Compression packing 440 is configured to shorten the drying time for drying through the unit 50.

The compression packing 440 is configured at the end of the transfer pipe 410, and as a compression force acts on the food waste forcibly transported from the inside of the transfer pipe 410 through the transfer screw 420, the food waste contains. It induces dehydration of the accumulated moisture. In this case, the compression packing 440 is made of rubber or synthetic resin with excellent elasticity. For example, the compression packing 440 has an insertion end where one end is forcibly pressed into the end of the transfer pipe 410, and a discharge hole is formed in the center of the insertion end, and the discharge hole is smaller than the diameter of the transfer pipe 410. is formed by

The drying unit 50 receives pulverized food waste through the transfer unit 40 and dries it, thereby reducing the volume of the food waste and minimizing the final amount of food waste discharged.

The drying unit 50 includes a drying chamber 510, a stirring blade 520, a heating wire 530, and a third motor 540.

The drying chamber 510 forms a certain space inside to store the primary dehydrated ground food waste provided from the transfer unit 40, and a drying space 512 is formed to dry it. The drying space 512 is formed in a straight shape at the top and a semicircular shape at the bottom of the straight shape, and is supported by the stirring blade 520 so that the stirring action can be performed smoothly. In this case, the drying space 512 consists of one end of the transfer pipe 410 of the transfer unit 40 on one side of the linear drying space 512 at the top, and the stirring blade 520 is located in the semicircular drying space 512. By doing so, the pulverized food waste discharged through the transfer pipe 410 is allowed to fall from the top to the bottom.

Additionally, a discharge hole 514 is formed on one side of the drying chamber 510 to allow food waste dried in the drying space 512 to be discharged to the outside. The discharge hole 514 is formed on one side of the drying chamber 510 and forms a space through which food waste pumped through the stirring blade 520 can be discharged to the outside. In this case, a discharge portion 60 is formed in the discharge hole 514 to selectively discharge dried food waste according to the action of the discharge portion 60.

The stirring blade 520 is installed in the drying space 512 of the drying chamber 510 and agitates the ground food waste input into the drying space 512, thereby shortening the drying time.

The stirring blades 520 are radially alternately installed on the stirring shafts 522 rotatably configured in the drying space 512 of the drying chamber 510.

The stirring shaft 522 is configured in the drying space 512, and is configured to rotate as both ends are supported by bearings, etc. In this case, the stirring shaft 522 is formed in a polygonal shape at the portion where the stirring blades 520 are formed, for example, a hexagon so that the stirring blades 520 can be formed at equal intervals of 120°, and bearings are inserted at both ends.

The spatula 5214 is configured at the end of the first support 5212 and is in close contact with or close to the bottom surface of the drying space 512, so that the dried food waste can be scooped up and discharged to the discharge unit 60. Let it happen. In this case, the spatula 5214 is formed in a depressed, streamlined shape.

The central guiding blade 5220 is configured on one side of the discharge guiding blade 5210 and performs the function of agitating the food waste and guiding the food waste to be concentrated toward the discharge guiding blade 5210.

The central guide vane 5220 is composed of a second support 5222, one end of which is fixed to the stirring shaft 522 and formed to a certain length, and an end of the second support 5222, and the discharge guide vane 5210.

The heating wire 530 is configured on one side of the drying chamber 510 to provide heat at a certain temperature to the drying chamber 510, thereby drying the food waste contained in the drying space 512. In this case, the heating wire 530 is located at the lower end of the drying chamber 510 to ensure smooth drying of food waste located below the drying space 512.

The third motor 540 is installed on one side of the drying chamber 510 and provides rotational force to the stirring blade 520 to rotate the stirring blade 520. That is, the third motor 540 has a power transmission means configured on the stirring shaft 522 of the stirring blade 520, and the third motor 540 is connected to the power transmission means, so that the third motor 540 ) rotates the stirring shaft 522 through the power transmission means so that the stirring blade 520 formed on the stirring shaft 522 rotates.

The discharge unit 60 is located on one side of the drying chamber 510 to selectively discharge dried food waste.

The discharge unit 60 includes an opening and closing plate 610, a fixing bracket 620, a rotating cylinder 630, and a rotating bracket 640.

The fixing bracket 620 is configured on one side of the drying chamber 510 to support one end of the rotating cylinder 630. In this case, the fixing bracket 620 is configured above the opening and closing plate 610.

The rotating cylinder 630 has one end rotatable on the fixing bracket 620 and the other end on one side of the opening and closing plate 610, so that the opening and closing plate 610 is kept constant by the lifting hydraulic force acting from the outside. Make sure to rotate it at an angle. That is, one end of the rotating cylinder 630 is hinged to the fixing bracket 620, and the other end, that is, one end of the piston formed inside the rotating cylinder 630, is hinged to the opening and closing plate 610, so that it can be operated from the outside. The piston moves up and down inside the rotating cylinder 630, i.e., reciprocates and slides, causing the opening and closing plate 610 to rotate by the provided lifting hydraulic force. For example, the rotating cylinder 630 causes the opening and closing plate 610 to close the discharge hole 514 when the piston is maximally extended, and when the piston is shortened to its maximum, the opening and closing plate 610 rotates at a certain angle to discharge the discharge. The through hole 514 is opened so that food waste is discharged through the discharge through hole 514.

The rotation bracket 640 is provided at one end, preferably at both ends, of the opening and closing plate 610, and fixes the hinge so that the opening and closing plate 610 can be rotated at a certain angle. That is, the rotating bracket 640 fixes one end, for example, the upper end of the opening and closing plate 610 with a hinge, so that the opening and closing plate 610 is rotated by the lifting hydraulic force of the rotating cylinder 630.

The operating state of the complex food waste reduction processor configured as described above is as follows.

First, the generated food waste is put into the hopper 20 configured on one side of the main body 10.

Accordingly, when food waste is input into the hopper 20, the food waste naturally enters the entry port 24 along the inclined surface 22 of the hopper 20 and enters the grinding unit 30. At this time, the food waste introduced along the inclined surface 22 passes through the rotating door 210 formed on one side of the inclined surface 22, and the rotating door 210 is rotated at a certain angle by the injected food waste. This prevents interference with the input of food waste, and when input is completed, the rotating door 210 returns to its original position and closes one end of the inclined surface 22, thereby preventing odors generated from food waste from going out of the main body 10. prevents release.

Subsequently, when food waste enters the grinding unit 30 through the hopper 20, the grinding blade 320 rotates due to the rotational force generated by the first motor 330 of the grinding unit 30, Through this, food waste is pulverized in the inner cylinder 312 of the pulverizing housing 310. In addition, the food waste pulverized through the grinding blade 320 is discharged through the discharge hole 313 formed in the inner cylinder 312. In addition, moisture is drained from the food waste through the drain hole 326 formed in the grinding blade 320.

In addition, the food waste that has been pulverized through the pulverizing unit 30 enters the transfer unit 40 configured below the pulverizing unit 30.

Accordingly, when pulverized food waste enters one side of the transfer pipe 410 of the transfer unit 40, the transfer screw 420 formed inside the transfer pipe 410 is caused by the rotational force generated by the second motor 430. Through this rotation, the pulverized food waste that has entered one side of the transfer pipe 410 is forcibly transferred to the other side.

At this time, as the transfer pipe 410 is formed at an upward slope from the grinding unit 30 to the drying unit 50, the moisture contained in the food waste forcibly transferred by the transfer screw 420 is moved downward by gravity. The primary dehydration process is performed. In addition, the food waste transported through the transfer screw 420 is subjected to gravity to fall downward due to the rising inclination of the transfer pipe 410, and through this, the food waste is cohesive as much as the space of the first dehydrated moisture. By doing so, food waste is concentrated in the lower part of the transfer pipe 410, thereby performing a secondary dehydration function.

In particular, compression packing 440 is formed at the end of the transfer pipe 410, that is, at the part located in the drying unit 50, and the compression packing 440 discharges a discharge with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the transfer pipe 410. A ball is formed, and a compressive force acts on the food waste forcibly transported inside the transport pipe 410 by the forced transport force of the transport screw 420 and the small discharge hole of the compression packing 440, thereby causing tertiary damage to the food waste. Dehydration is forced.

As a result, the pulverized food waste transported through the transfer unit 40 is provided to the drying unit 50 in a state in which a significant amount of moisture has been removed from the food waste through the third dehydration process, thereby making the drying unit 50 This shortens the drying time and improves drying efficiency.

Subsequently, the dehydrated food waste is input into the drying unit 50 through the transfer unit 40.

In this way, when the dehydrated food waste is input into the drying unit 50, it is collected in the drying space 512 of the drying chamber 510, and the heat generated by the heating wire 530 configured on one side of the drying chamber 510 is used. The effect causes food waste to dry.

In addition, the stirring blade 520 configured inside the drying chamber 510 rotates due to the rotational force generated by the third motor 540 configured on one side of the drying chamber 510, thereby drying the drying chamber 510. The food waste collected in space 512 is agitated. Through this, the food waste collected inside the drying chamber 510 is dried quickly due to the thermal effect of the heating wire 530 along with the stirring action of the stirring blade 520.

In addition, the stirring blade 520 is composed of a discharge guide blade 5210 and a central guide blade 5220 along the longitudinal direction of the stirring shaft 522, so that food waste agitated by the stirring blade 520 is moved to the center. It is transported to the side where the discharge guide vane 5210 is located through the guide vane 5220.

In addition, the discharge guide vane 5210 agitates the food waste as it rotates together with the stirring shaft 522, and also scoops up the dried food waste from the bottom of the drying space 512 into the drying chamber 510. It is positioned with a discharge hole 514 formed on one side. At this time, since the discharge portion 60 is formed in the discharge hole 514, if the discharge hole 514 is closed by the discharge portion 60, dried food waste is not discharged to the outside.

Meanwhile, when drying of the food waste is completed through the drying unit 50, the discharge unit 60 is opened to discharge the dried food waste into the drying chamber 510 of the drying unit 50.

That is, a lifting hydraulic force is provided to the rotating cylinder 630 of the discharge unit 60, and through this, the piston of the rotating cylinder 630 is shortened. Through this, as the opening and closing plate 610 is supported by the rotating bracket 640 by the shortening piston and rises upward, the discharge aperture 514 closed by the opening and closing plate 610 is opened. (514) Dried food waste is discharged.

What has been described above is only one example of implementing a complex food waste reduction processor, and the present invention is not limited to the above-described examples. Those skilled in the art will understand that various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
