Description

Food waste treatment device

The present invention relates to a food waste treatment apparatus, and more particularly, to a food waste treatment apparatus capable of pressing, drying, and crushing discarded food waste using one driving motor.

In general, food waste generated after cooking food is separated from water drained by a strainer provided in the drain of the dishwasher, and then treated separately, but the food waste extracted by the strainer contains a considerable amount of moisture. If you throw it away or bury it in the ground, it will cause severe odor by leachate that easily rots or spills, causing environmental pollution, and incineration is difficult or incineration takes a long time.

In other words, food waste was used as livestock feed such as pigs, chickens, ducks, and dogs until recently, but it has been disregarded by farmers due to labor shortages and inconveniences in handling and use. Since it is buried in the soil or discharged into the river, various gases and odors released by decay cause environmental pollution and serious damage to the growth of crops.

As food wastes discarded in homes and restaurants are decayed and contaminate soil and water quality, there is an urgent need for measures to resolve fundamental problems such as soil, water pollution and odors caused by food waste.

Accordingly, a variety of treatment alternatives for reducing and recycling food waste have been discussed for a long time, and recently, a food waste processor for eliminating these problems has been provided with a fast dryer, a fermenter and a food waste extinguisher for weight loss.

However, the conventional high speed dryer, fermenter and food waste dissipator are expensive and large in size, so it is impossible to install due to lack of installation space in general homes or restaurants, and the lower space of dishwashers commonly used by housewives. There is a problem that can not be installed on.

In addition, in order to crush and dry food waste, there is a problem in that a separate grinder or fermenter and a dryer must be purchased.

That is, the pressing plate 60 rising by the operation of the reverse power switch 45 hits the elastic spring 51 formed on the upper part of the screw rod 50 and no longer rises, and then idles in place, and then the power switch (not shown). Stops according to the OFF operation.

The motor shaft 31 between the dehydration tank 20 and the drive motor 30 is formed with a plurality of grinding cutters 70 inclined to the upper end, the grinding cutter 70 and the driving motor 30 The space between the bonsai box 80 is formed in a predetermined volume to be inserted into the housing 10 in the drawer method.

The crushing cutter 70 is compressed by the pressing plate 60 to more finely cut / crush the food waste discharged through the discharge hole 21 of the bottom surface of the dehydration container 20, the crushing cutter 70 Food waste cut / crushed by) is stored falling into the bonsai box 80. At this time, the upper portion of the bonsai box (80) is provided with a sieve (71) formed of a fine mesh (mesh), the volume of food waste crushed by the crushing cutter 70 by the sieve 71 Large garbage is blocked from being introduced into the bonsai box 80 and is cut / crushed by the crushing cutter 80 again.

In addition, the inner bottom of the housing 10 may be provided with a drain container 12 for storing the water discharged through the discharge hole 21 of the dehydration tank 20 to be discharged to the drain port (10a), the drain container The heat generator which is connected to an external power source to generate heat and transfers the generated heat to the space between the bonsai box 80 and the dehydration container 20 inside the housing 10 in the opposite direction to the 12. 90) can be formed.

Next will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the food waste treatment apparatus of the present invention configured as described above.

First, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the opening 11 of the housing 10 and the opening and closing port 62 of the pressing plate 60 are opened, and food waste is introduced into the dehydration container 20. Then, the inlet port 11 and the opening and closing port 62 are all closed, and a power switch (not shown) is turned on to operate the driving motor 30.

The grinding cutter 70 and the screw rod 50 rotate according to the operation of the driving motor 30, and the pressing plate 60 is lowered by the rotation of the screw rod 50. Pressing / compressing food waste put / stored in the dehydration container 20 while descending, the food waste is discharged downward through the discharge hole 21 formed in the bottom surface of the dehydration container 20, and water is The water is collected in the drain 12 through the discharge hole 21 of the side and the drain groove 10b of the housing, the water stored in the drain 12 is discharged to the outside through the drain (10a).

The food waste pressurized / compressed by the pressing plate in the dehydration container 20 is discharged into the space provided with the crushing cutter 70 through the discharge hole 21 of the dehydration container 20, and the crushing cutter ( Food waste pulverized by 70) is dried once more by the heat generator 90 and then stored in the bonsai box 80 through the strainer 71.

In addition, the drainage port 10a of the housing 10 may be connected to a hose or a sewage system or a water purification system, and a water filter for purifying water may be connected to the drainage tube 12.
