Description

{Deodorization for food waste treating apparatus}

The present invention relates to a deodorizing device for a food waste disposer, and more specifically, to a deodorizing device for a food waste disposer capable of deodorizing and removing an unpleasant odor generated during the process of disposing food waste in a food waste disposer.

Recently, food waste generated daily is prohibited from being dumped in the ocean or directly buried in landfills to prevent environmental pollution. Therefore, unlike general waste, it is collected separately and then transported to a separate facility for processing.

For this reason, food waste costs much more to dispose of than general waste, and as population growth and improved living standards lead to an increase in food waste every year, it leads to enormous economic losses.

In order to prevent such economic losses, it is necessary to reduce the generation of food waste. The most effective way to do this is for each household, which is the main generator, to make self-rescue efforts to reduce the generation of food waste, and for the food waste that is inevitably generated to be directly processed, so that food waste is not thrown out of the house as much as possible.

For reference, in Korea, the total cost of processing food waste increased from approximately KRW 600 billion in 2005 to approximately KRW 800 billion in 2010, and since ocean dumping was banned in 2012, the processing cost has been increasing significantly every year.

Accordingly, the government announced a resource circulation policy in 2013 to gradually ban the landfilling of recyclable resources, including food waste, and is recommending the use of food waste disposers to directly dispose of food waste left over from cooking and eating food in each household.

There are various food waste disposers that can be used in general households, and they can be classified into drying, grinding, grinding/drying, and fermentation and extinction methods based on the processing method. Household food waste disposers are also divided into standalone and sink drain pipe-connected types based on the installation type. The so-called sink drain pipe-connected type is generally preferred over the standalone type because it is convenient to use, does not show up on the outside, and does not take up separate space.

As an example of such a food waste disposer, a ‘food waste fermentation and incineration device’ was proposed in Republic of Korea Utility Model Registration No. 20-0351640 (hereinafter referred to as ‘prior art document’).

In these prior art documents, for the purpose of providing a food waste fermentation incinerator that can biochemically decompose and incinerate food waste by introducing microorganisms and food waste into an incineration chamber for food waste treatment, an exhaust duct is provided on one side of the body to discharge odors and gases generated during the incineration process to the outside, and the incinerator is configured as a built-in type so that it can be installed indoors, such as in a kitchen, where food waste is mainly generated, thereby increasing the usability and aesthetic function of kitchen space, and at the same time increasing the incineration rate of waste by using a heating means and agitation to achieve rapid decomposition, thereby blocking the discharge of food waste from the home, resolving inconveniences such as food waste separation and collection, and preventing secondary environmental pollution (water quality/air pollution) caused by landfill and incineration, and also disclosing a waste fermentation incinerator that is simple in configuration, easy to manufacture, and has low production cost, thereby increasing use and being trouble-free.

However, since the prior art literature uses a method of discharging the foul odor generated inside the mixing tank to the outside using an exhaust duct, there are disadvantages such as the difficulty in installing an exhaust duct when installing the fermentation extinguisher in a room without windows, which limits the installation location and environment, and there is concern that the indoor air may be polluted by foul odor leaking from the exhaust duct.

Republic of Korea Registered Utility Model No. 20-0351640

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide a deodorizing device for a food waste disposer which can remove all of the foul odor by smoothly allowing the flow of the foul odor generated in the process of fermenting, decomposing, drying and disposing of food waste in the food waste disposer to flow.

Additionally, the optional terms in the examples below are used to distinguish one component from another, and the components are not limited by the terms.

Accordingly, in explaining the present invention, detailed descriptions of related known technologies that may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention are omitted.

The attached drawings, Figures 1 to 8, are drawings illustrating a food waste disposer according to the present invention and a receiving tank and a deodorizing device included therein.

The food waste disposer (100) according to the present invention can be installed and detachably attached to a sink bowl provided in a kitchen sink.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this food waste disposer (100) includes a tank (120) into which microorganisms and food waste are fed and fermented and decomposed, a stirring module for stirring food waste mixed with microorganisms in the tank (120), a door opening/closing module provided in the tank (120) for opening and closing an inlet through which microorganisms and food waste are fed, a deodorizing device provided in the tank (120) for deodorizing and removing odors, i.e., foul odors, generated from food waste, and a driving module for operating the stirring module in the tank (120).

As shown in FIG. 2, this processor (100) includes a hexahedral body (110) and a receiving tank (120) accommodated and provided inside the body (110).

A base plate (111) for supporting a receiving tank (120) is provided on the lower surface of the main body (110), and a door (130) for opening and closing the receiving tank (120) is provided rotatably coupled to the upper surface of the main body (110).

In addition, the main body (110) at the bottom of the tank (120) is provided with a storage box in which food waste that has been fermented and decomposed and dried in the tank (120), i.e., compost in powder form, is stored, and the storage box is provided in a drawer-like manner so that it can be inserted and removed from the front of the main body (110).

In addition, a holder for easily lifting and moving the processor (100) is provided on both sides of the main body (110), and a deodorizing module (150), which will be described later, is installed detachably on the rear of the main body (110).

Meanwhile, the tank (120) provided inside the main body (110) is formed in a box shape with an open upper surface so that microorganisms and food waste can be input, as shown in FIG. 2, but the lower surface is formed in a rounded arc shape.

At this time, the rounded lower surface of the tank (120) is formed to have a curvature corresponding to the radius of rotation of the stirring blade of the stirring module that stirs microorganisms and food waste inside the tank (120), thereby maximizing the stirring efficiency by the stirring blade.

And, on one side of the receiving tank (120), that is, on the front side facing the stirring blade rotating from top to bottom within the receiving tank (120), an outlet is formed through which powdered food waste (compost) that has been fermented and decomposed within the receiving tank (120) is blown and discharged. The outlet is connected to a storage box so that powdered food waste discharged within the receiving tank (120) is captured and stored.

In addition, an intake port (121) is formed on the other side, i.e., the rear side, of the tank (120) to discharge the foul odor generated when food waste is fermented, decomposed, and dried within the tank (120), and this intake port (121) is provided to be in communication with an intake pipe (170) connected to a deodorizing module (150) to be described later.

Meanwhile, the deodorizing module (150) is configured to be detachably attached to the tank (120) and to deodorize the foul odor generated from food waste.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, this deodorizing module (150) includes a mounting plate (140) that is fixedly provided on the rear of the receiving tank (120), an intake pipe (170) that is fixed to the mounting plate (140) and is connected to the intake port (121) of the receiving tank (120), and a deodorizing frame (151) that is detachably provided to the mounting plate (140) and is connected to the intake pipe (170).

First, the mounting plate (140) is a rectangular flat plate, and the front of the mounting plate (140) is fixedly provided in contact with the rear of the receiving tank (120), an intake pipe (170) is fixedly provided on one side of the rear of the mounting plate (140), and a plurality of mounting holes (140a) are formed on the other side of the rear of the mounting plate (140) adjacent to the intake pipe (170), into which a hook (158b) of a deodorizing frame (151) to be described later is inserted and hooked.

In this way, the hook (158b) of the deodorizing frame (151), which will be described later, is inserted into the mounting hole (140a) of the mounting plate (140) and is hooked together, so that the deodorizing frame (151) can be detachably mounted on the mounting plate (140).

And, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 8, the intake pipe (170) is installed in the vertical direction on one side of the rear of the mounting plate (140), and its upper end is connected to the intake port (121) of the tank (120) and its lower end is connected to the lower end of the first intake path (154) of the deodorizing frame (151) to be described later. In the middle of the pipe of the intake pipe (170), a UV module is provided that can be detachably attached and detached to deodorize and sterilize the odor of food waste that has entered the intake pipe (170).

In particular, the UV module is provided with a case in the shape of an empty box inside, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 8, and the upper and lower surfaces of the case are respectively connected to the intake pipe (170).

In addition, on both sides of the case perpendicular to the intake pipe (170), a UV lamp (171) and a photocatalyst (172) made of UV LEDs are provided facing each other, and when light irradiated from the UV lamp (171) is incident on the photocatalyst (172), the photocatalyst (172) reacts to primarily sterilize and deodorize the odor passing through the conduit between the UV lamp (171) and the photocatalyst (172).

In addition, a first intake fan (173) is provided on the lower side of the case of the UV module, which is connected to the lower intake pipe (170) and quickly sucks the foul odor inside the tank (120) into the intake pipe (170) through the intake port (121).

In addition to the first intake fan (173), second and third intake fans (174)(176) are further provided. The second intake fan (174) is provided on the conduit of the connecting pipe connecting the first and second intakes (154)(155) of the deodorizing frame (151) to be described later on the upper side of the mounting plate (140), and the third intake fan (176) is provided on the conduit of the exhaust pipe (175) connected to the deodorizing frame (151).

Since the first, second, and third intake fans (173), (174), and (176) are installed in appropriate locations on the exhaust line, the odor generated in the receiving tank (120) is quickly discharged from the receiving tank (120), and the odor discharged from the receiving tank (120) flows smoothly through the intake pipe (170) and the deodorizing frame (151) in sequence, is deodorized, converted into clean air, and can be quickly discharged to the outside.

Meanwhile, the deodorization frame (151) of the deodorization module (150) is a frame that constitutes the outer edge of the deodorization module (150), and each of the front and rear surfaces is provided with a mounting plate (158) (in this drawing, only the front mounting plate (158) is indicated with a drawing number) to seal the inside of the deodorization frame (151).

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, this deodorizing frame (151) is provided with one bulkhead (152) (hereinafter referred to as a “vertical bulkhead (152)”) installed vertically inside the frame, i.e. in the vertical direction, and a plurality of bulkheads (153) (hereinafter referred to as “horizontal bulkheads (153)”) installed horizontally inside the frame, i.e. in the left-right direction, to partition the inside of the deodorizing frame (151) into an isolated space.

First, a single vertical bulkhead (152) divides the interior of the deodorizing frame (151) into a left space and a right space, and the divided right space, i.e., the inner space adjacent to the intake pipe (170), is formed as a first intake passage (154) that is connected to the intake pipe (170), and the left space, i.e., the inner space that is spaced away from the intake pipe (170), is formed as a second intake passage (155) that is connected to the first intake passage (154).

Here, the positions of the first and second intakes (154)(155) described above are based on FIGS. 4 and 8, but in FIGS. 5 and 6, the deodorizing frame (151) is shown from the front, so the left and right directions are opposite to those in FIG. 4. In the following description, the space on the right will be continuously referred to as the first intake (154) and the space on the left will be continuously referred to as the second intake (155).

And, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a plurality of horizontal bulkheads (153) are provided only in the second intake (155). The ends of the plurality of horizontal bulkheads (153) are alternately fixed to both side walls of the second intake (155), so that the second intake (155) is formed to be connected in a zigzag structure.

Accordingly, the first intake (154) is formed as a straight section in which the odor flows from bottom to top in the left space of the deodorizing frame (151), and the second intake (155) is formed as a zigzag section in which the odor flows from top to bottom in the right space of the deodorizing frame (151).

In addition, the inner surface of the deodorizing frame (151) and the bulkhead (152)(153) are each provided with a combination rail (152a)(153a) in which a plurality of unit rails form a group, and the combination rails (152a)(153a) are respectively installed on both sides and are provided so as to face each other.

These coupling rails (152a)(153a) are provided as first and second coupling rails (152a)(153a) depending on the installation location. The first coupling rail (152a) is provided on each of the left and right sides of the first intake (154), and the second coupling rail (153a) is provided on each of the upper and lower sides of the second intake (155).

Each of the joining rails (152a)(153a) is provided with partitions (156)(157) to divide the flow paths of the first intake path (154) and the second intake path (155) into several spaces. Among the partitions, the partition installed horizontally in the first intake path (154) is called a horizontal partition (156), and the partition installed vertically in the second intake path (155) is called a vertical partition (157).

These horizontal and vertical partitions (156)(157) are formed as flat plates with a grill (mesh) structure on their surfaces, and accordingly, each partition (156)(157) can be provided by slidingly connecting to the connecting rails (152a)(153a) of the first and second intakes (154)(155), so that the positions of the partitions (156)(157) can be varied to adjust the gap between the partitions (156)(157).

And, an activated carbon series deodorizing filter (160)(161)(162) is provided in the upper space or the lower space by the partitions (156)(157) that are stacked vertically or stacked left and right, and the opposite side is provided with an empty space (163). That is, the deodorizing filter (160)(161)(162) and the space (163) are provided in a continuous and alternate manner, so that the deodorizing efficiency can be improved as described later.

In this way, the deodorizing filter (160)(161)(162) provided between the partitions (156)(157) can be provided by adjusting the spacing between the partitions (156)(157) according to the catalyst of the deodorizing filter to suit the capacity and size of the deodorizing filter (160)(161)(162).

In addition, air passing through the deodorizing filter (160)(161)(162) between the partitions (156)(157), i.e., the odor, passes through the deodorizing filter (160)(161)(162) at a slow flow rate by the catalyst, thereby maximizing contact with the catalyst and improving the deodorizing performance. When the odor passing through the deodorizing filter (160)(161)(162) flows into the space (163), the odor is discharged as a vortex flow due to the space that suddenly expands and mixes with each other. The mixed odor passes through the next deodorizing filter (160)(161)(162) and the space (163) in sequence, thereby improving the deodorizing efficiency.

And, as described above, the deodorizing filters provided between the partitions (156)(157) are provided as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd deodorizing filters (160)(161)(162), respectively, and the 1st deodorizing filter (160) is a filter that uses composite activated carbon as a catalyst, and is provided evenly distributed over the entire area of the 1st and 2nd intake paths (154)(155) of the deodorizing frame (151), as shown in FIG. 8, and the 2nd and 3rd deodorizing filters (161)(162) are preferably provided at the end of the 2nd intake path (155), i.e., the 2nd-stage path, and the 1st-stage path, which is the lowest part.

In addition, a mounting plate (158) that seals the front and rear surfaces of the deodorizing frame (151) as described above is formed with a joining rail (158a) into which the partition walls (152) (153) of the deodorizing frame (151) are inserted and joined in a vertical and horizontal direction, and a hooking hook (158b) that is inserted and hooked into a mounting hole (140a) of the mounting plate (140) is provided on the front surface of the mounting plate (158) facing the mounting plate (140).

Accordingly, the deodorizing frame (151) can be provided so that it can be attached and detached to the mounting plate (140) by being connected in a state where the hook (158b) of the mounting plate (158) to which it is fixed is inserted into the mounting hole (140a) of the mounting plate (140) and is hung. Therefore, the deodorizing frame (151) has the advantage of being modularized and replaceable.

Meanwhile, a filter member (180) is provided on the inside of the tank (120) to protect the intake port (121) from being clogged by foreign substances, i.e. dust, generated when food waste is fermented and dried within the tank (120).

As shown in FIG. 7, the filter member (180) is detachably connected to the inner surface of the receiving tank (120) to filter out dust flowing into the intake port (121). The filter member (180) is formed with a plurality of vents (181a) through which odors within the receiving tank (120) pass, and a filter net (182) covering the vents (181a) of the filter member (180) is fixedly provided to the filter frame (181).

The filter frame (181) of the filter member (180) is provided so as to be detachably attached to the inner surface of the receiving tank (120).

In addition, in this embodiment, it is exemplified that three ventilation holes (181a) are formed in the filter frame (181), and the three ventilation holes (181a) are covered with one filter net (182) or each filter net (182).

Accordingly, one of the ventilation holes (181a) of the filter frame (181) is positioned in the intake hole (121) of the receiving tank (120) at a fixed position, and the remaining two ventilation holes (181a) are positioned on one side away from the intake hole (121), so that even if dust accumulates and clogs the filter net (182) of the ventilation hole (181a) positioned in the intake hole (121), the odor inside the receiving tank (120) can be continuously and smoothly discharged through the adjacent surrounding ventilation holes (181a), and accordingly, the deodorizing performance of the deodorizing module (150) is maximized, thereby improving the deodorizing efficiency.

Meanwhile, the filter member (180) as described above is equipped with a vibrator (183) for shaking off dust caught in the filter net (182), and the vibrator (183) is equipped with a vibration bar (183a) that strikes one side of the filter frame (181) to provide vibration.

At this time, for smooth operation of the vibrator (183), it is preferable that the vibrator (183) be installed inside the tank (120) so that the vibrating bar (183a) can strike the filter frame (181).

As described above, the operational relationship of the deodorizing device for a food waste disposer according to the present invention is explained.

With the door (130) on the top surface of the processor (100) open, food waste is thrown into the tank (120) of the processor (100) and discarded, and then the processor (100) is operated with the open door (130) closed.

Then, food waste fed into the receiving tank (120) of the processor (100) is mixed by the stirring module, fermented, decomposed, and dried, and the foul odor generated during this process is introduced into the deodorizing module (150) and deodorized.

The operation of the deodorizing module (150) is as shown in Fig. 8. As a result of the operation of the first intake fan (173), the odor inside the tank (120) is drawn into the upper part of the intake pipe (170) through the intake port (121) and flows to the lower part.

In this process, the odor is primarily sterilized and deodorized as it passes between the UV lamp (171) and the photocatalyst (172) of the UV module installed in the middle of the intake pipe (170), and the sterilized and deodorized odor passes through the first intake fan (173) and flows into the lower part of the first intake pipe (154) of the deodorizing frame (151).

The odor that flows into the first intake (154) through the lower part of the deodorizing frame (151) is deodorized as it moves in a straight line to the upper part and passes through the first deodorizing filter (160) and the space (163) alternately provided in the first intake (154).

In this way, the foul odor removed from the first intake (154) may have a slow flow rate during the process of passing through the primary deodorizing filter (160) of the first intake (154), but due to the operation of the second intake fan (174) provided on the conduit of the connecting pipe connecting the first intake (154) and the second intake (155), the foul odor continues to flow without slowing down and at a smooth flow rate, passing through the second intake fan (174) and flowing into the upper part of the second intake (155).

The odor introduced into the second intake (155) moves in a zigzag manner from the upper part to the lower part of the second intake (155) and passes through the first deodorizing filter (160) and the space (163) alternately provided in the second intake (155) in sequence, and then passes through the second deodorizing filter (161) and the space (163) and the third deodorizing filter (162) and the space (163) in sequence at the end, i.e. the lower part, of the second intake (155) and is deodorized.

At this time, the foul odor removed from the second intake (155) may also slow down in flow rate, but it continues to move at a smooth flow rate without slowdown by the third intake fan (176) on the exhaust pipe (175) connected to the lower part of the second intake (155), and is discharged outside the treatment device in a clean air state.

In particular, the odor passing through the first and second intakes (154)(155) of the deodorizing frame (151) in sequence comes into contact with the catalyst filled inside the deodorizing filter (160)(161)(162) during the process of passing through the first, second, and third deodorizing filters (160)(161)(162) and passes through the deodorizing filter (160)(161)(162) at a slow speed, thereby maximizing the deodorizing efficiency of the odor, and the odor passing through each deodorizing filter (160)(161)(162) flows into the space (163) and mixes with each other while flowing through the space (163) in a vortex flow due to the suddenly widened space, and the mixed odor flows into the next deodorizing filter (160)(161)(162) and is deodorized again before flowing into the space (163). Since this is repeated, the deodorizing effect is maximized because the deodorizing action is repeated every time the odor passes through the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd deodorizing filters (160), (161), and (162) within the deodorizing frame (151).

Although the present invention has been described in detail through specific examples, this is intended to specifically explain the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is clear that modifications and improvements can be made by those skilled in the art within the technical spirit of the present invention.

All simple modifications or changes of the present invention fall within the scope of the present invention, and the specific protection scope of the present invention will be made clear by the appended claims.
