Food waste treatment apparatus

Abstract

A food waste treatment apparatus capable of pulverizing, dehydrating, and drying food waste includes a housing that defines a space that is configured to dehydrate and dry food waste, the housing having an inlet port that is configured to receive the food waste and an outlet port that is configured to discharge the food waste that has been dehydrated and dried. The apparatus includes a cylindrical dehydrator that is configured to remove water included in the food waste by spinning the food waste inside the housing, the cylindrical dehydrator having a communication hole that is configured to connect with the inlet port or the outlet port based on rotation of the cylindrical dehydrator. The apparatus includes an agitator that is located in the cylindrical dehydrator that is configured to rotate simultaneously with or independently of the dehydrator, that is configured to selectively open or close the communication hole, and that is configured to agitate and grind the food waste inside the cylindrical dehydrator based on rotation of the agitator; and a dryer that is configured to dry the food waste by supplying dry air to the housing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a kitchen waste treatment device, in particular to a kitchen waste treatment device for effectively crushing kitchen waste. Background technique [0002] In the processing method of the food waste generated in the kitchen, there is a kind of food waste crushing device installed in the drain of the sink (sink), and the food waste discharged from the drain is crushed and then discharged through the sewer. Way. [0003] The food waste crushing device in this prior art puts the food waste and water into the food waste crushing device installed at the drain of the sink, and utilizes the finer pulverizer provided by the food waste crushing device. After the ground is crushed, it is discharged separately or discharged together with the sewage to the sewer. [0004] In a general food waste crushing device, regardless of the type of food waste to be fed, the food waste is crushed by performing a simple crushing operation using...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The above-mentioned food waste crushing device in the prior art performs the same crushing process on the food waste regardless of the viscosity, strength and size of the food waste, so the viscosity, strength and size of the input food waste When different, there is a problem that food waste cannot be crushed uniformly

[0006] In addition, since the food waste crushing device in the prior art is only aimed at crushing by simple impact, if it is high-viscosity food waste, there is a problem that it cannot be crushed smoothly.

[0007] Furthermore, since the food waste crushing device in the prior art rotates around a rotation axis perpendicular to the ground, there is a problem that the structure for discharging the crushed food waste to the outside of the food waste treatment device is complicated.

[0008] In addition, because the food waste crushing device in the prior art only has the function of crushing the purely input food waste and then discharging it to the outside of the food waste crushing device by other independent devices, or discharging the crushed food waste through the sewer. structure, and the pulverized food waste contains a lot of water, so there is a problem of inconvenience in handling the pulverized food waste
