[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, the disposal of food waste has become a significant environmental issue. Traditional waste disposal methods primarily rely on landfill and incineration, but these methods present certain challenges. Chinese patent CN117548464A discloses a food waste biodegradation device and method. This device utilizes a complete chain of mechanisms, including filtration, pulverization, solid-liquid separation, degradation reaction, product transport, and temperature control, to effectively degrade food waste.
[0003] The solid-liquid separation mechanism of the equipment includes a solid material separation chamber and a liquid material separation chamber, but the solid material after natural separation contains a large amount of water and cannot be effectively separated.

[0019] Thirdly, the filter hole cleaning unit in the present invention transports air into the air bar box through the air source. When the filter hole moves to the air outlet at the bottom of the air bar box, the air in the air bar box is transported from the air outlet to the filter hole, and the residue in the filter hole is blown out, thereby cleaning the filter hole. The filter hole passing through the air bar box from the direction of the material cavity still needs to pass through the air bar box again to move to the bottom of the material cavity during the reverse movement of the mobile filter plate. Therefore, the filter hole can be cleaned a second time to ensure that the filter hole is unobstructed after it moves to the bottom of the material cavity again. In addition, during the horizontal movement of the mobile filter plate, the overlapping area of the filter hole and the air outlet will change. Therefore, the air flow rate through the filter hole and the air outlet will accelerate accordingly, thereby improving the cleaning intensity of the filter hole. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific objectives and functions achieved by the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 9 :
[0032] The food waste biodegradation device includes a housing 1 and a conveyor belt 2 arranged inside the housing 1. A plurality of partitions 21 are installed on the conveyor belt 2 at equal intervals. The partitions 21 are attached to the inner wall of the housing 1 to separate the housing 1 into a plurality of material chambers 211. A driving shaft 22 (such as a driving shaft 22 for driving the conveyor belt 2 to rotate) is provided in the housing 1. Figure 6 As shown), the driving shaft 22 drives the conveyor belt 2 to rotate and drive the material chamber 211 to move, and the shell 1 is provided with a feed port 11, a discharge hole 12 and a movable filter plate 3 on the moving path of the material chamber 211; the movable filter plate 3 is slidably installed on the bottom of the shell 1, and the movable filter plate 3 is in contact with the bottom of the partition 21. The movable filter plate 3 is located at one end of the moving path of the material chamber 211 and is provided with filter holes 31. The filter holes 31 are distributed in a matrix, and a driving unit 32 is provided at the bottom of the shell 1. The driving unit 32 drives the movable filter plate 3 to reciprocate in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the moving path of the material chamber 211; the shell 1 is provided with an extrusion unit 4 for pressing the material in the material chamber 211 passing above the movable filter plate 3, a filter hole cleaning unit 5 for cleaning the filter holes 31 of the movable filter plate 3 moved to the outside of the material chamber 211, and a liquid collecting box 6 for collecting the liquid discharged through the filter holes 31.
[0033] The degradation device in the present application is mainly used in the solid-liquid separation stage in biodegradation. After the classification and filtration of the kitchen waste are completed, the solid waste material enters the material cavity 211 formed between two adjacent partitions 21 on the conveyor belt 2 through the feed port 11 of the shell 1. When the drive shaft 22 drives the conveyor belt 2 to rotate, the material in the material cavity 211 moves with the material cavity 211 until it passes above the movable filter plate 3. At this time, the squeezing unit 4 squeezes the material in the material cavity 211, so that the liquid in the material is discharged from the bottom of the filter hole 31 of the movable filter plate 3. The liquid collecting box 6 provided at the bottom of the shell 1 collects the liquid discharged from the filter hole 31 of the movable filter plate 3 to achieve solid-liquid separation. The material after squeezing continues to move. When the material after the water is discharged moves to the discharge hole 12, the material in the material cavity 211 falls off. The conveyor belt 2 drives multiple material cavities 211 to move back and forth. The material entering the shell 1 is distributed in each material cavity 211. Therefore, the efficiency of squeezing and draining can be improved by diverting the material, avoiding the problem that the liquid cannot be separated in time due to a large amount of material. The movable filter plate 3 in this embodiment is slidably installed at the bottom of the shell 1, so the movable filter plate 3 can change the position of the filter hole 31 located below the material chamber 211 by moving. The filter hole 31 moved out of the material chamber 211 can be cleaned by the filter hole cleaning unit 5 installed on the shell 1, thereby avoiding the residue in the material from blocking the filter hole 31 and affecting the efficiency of liquid passage, thereby ensuring long-term operation of the equipment.
[0034] In order to solve the problem of how to squeeze the material in the material cavity 211 passing through the movable filter plate 3, the following features are specifically set:
[0035] The extrusion unit 4 includes a linear drive 41 fixedly mounted on the top of the shell 1, and a mounting plate 42 arranged on the working end of the linear drive 41. A plurality of extrusion blocks 43 are arranged at the bottom of the mounting plate 42. The extrusion blocks 43 have a cross-section of the same shape and size as the material cavity 211 passing above the movable filter plate 3. The linear drive 41 drives the extrusion blocks 43 to enter the material cavity 211 above the movable filter plate 3 to extrude the material.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor belt 2 in this embodiment is annular, and the partition 21 is vertically installed between the outer wall of the conveyor belt 2 and the shell 1 to form a material chamber 211. The number and size of the partition 21 can be set according to actual conditions. The conveyor belt 2 drives the partition 21 to move step by step. The extrusion block 43 of the extrusion unit 4 has a cross-section of the same shape and size as the material chamber 211 passing above the movable filter plate 3. Therefore, when the material chamber 211 moves above the movable filter plate 3, the linear drive 41 of the extrusion unit 4 drives the mounting plate 42 to move vertically downward, and the extrusion block 43 at the bottom of the mounting plate 42 moves downward from the upper opening of the material chamber 211 and enters the material chamber 211 to squeeze the material in the material chamber 211 from top to bottom, so that the material is close to the movable filter plate 3 at the bottom, and the liquid in the material is discharged from the filter hole 31. After the extrusion is completed, the linear drive 41 drives the mounting plate 42 to move upward to make the extrusion block 43 separate from the inside of the material chamber 211, and the conveyor belt 2 drives the material chamber 211 to continue moving. The linear actuator 41 in this embodiment can be an oil cylinder, an air cylinder or an electric push rod, etc. Figure 1 As shown, if there can be multiple material chambers 211 above the movable filter plate 3 at the same time, the number of the extrusion blocks 43 can also be set to multiple.
[0037] In order to solve the problem of how to avoid deformation of the conveyor belt 2 caused by the material being subjected to force when the squeezing block 43 squeezes the material in the material cavity 211, the following features are specifically provided:
[0038] An inner support plate 13 having the same shape as the conveyor belt 2 is provided in the housing 1 . The inner support plate 13 is located below the conveyor belt 2 , and the partition plate 21 is in contact with the inner support plate 13 .
[0039] In this embodiment, an inner support plate 13 is provided on the shell 1, and the inner support plate 13 is located below the conveyor belt 2. Therefore, the partition 21 installed on the conveyor belt 2 is inserted between the shell 1 and the inner support plate 13 to form a material cavity 211. The material is located between the shell 1 and the inner support plate 13 and moves without causing liquid leakage. When the material cavity 211 moves above the movable filter plate 3, the extrusion block 43 enters the material cavity 211 to press the material. The material is subjected to pressure from the shell 1, the inner support plate 13, the movable filter plate 3 and the extrusion block 43, thereby squeezing out the liquid.
[0040] In order to solve the problem of how the movable filter plate 3 can reciprocate at the bottom of the housing 1, the following features are specifically set:
[0041] The movable filter plate 3 is slidably mounted in the limiting slide rail 14 at the bottom of the housing 1. The driving unit 32 includes a mounting frame 321 fixedly mounted at the bottom of the housing 1. A turntable 322 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 321. The axis of the turntable 322 is vertically arranged. An insert rod 323 (such as Figure 6 As shown), the insertion rod 323 is located on one side of the axis of the turntable 322; a waist-shaped socket 33 is provided in the center of the movable filter plate 3, the length direction of the waist-shaped socket 33 is perpendicular to the length direction of the limiting slide 14 and is horizontally arranged, the width of the waist-shaped socket 33 is the same as the diameter of the insertion rod 323, the insertion rod 323 is inserted into the waist-shaped socket 33, and the rotation of the turntable 322 drives the movable filter plate 3 to move back and forth in the limiting slide 14.
[0042] When the filter plate 3 is in the working state, the filter screen 31 is in the working state, and the filter screen 31 is in the working state, so the filter screen 31 is in the working state, and the filter screen 31 is in the working state, so the filter screen 31 is in the working state, and the filter screen 31 is in the working state, so the filter screen 31 is in the working state, and the filter screen 31 is in the working state, so the filter screen 31 is in the working state, and the filter screen 31 is in the working state, so the filter screen 31 is in the working state, and the filter screen 31 is in the working state, so the filter screen 31 is in the working state,
[0043] In order to ensure that all the filter holes 31 have the opportunity to move to the outside of the material chamber 211, the following features are specifically set:
[0044] The straight-line distance between the axis of the inserting rod 323 and the axis of the rotating disk 322 is not less than the straight-line distance between the inner supporting plate 13 and the housing 1 .
[0045] The straight-line distance between the axis of the insertion rod 323 and the axis of the turntable 322 in this embodiment is not less than the straight-line distance between the inner support plate 13 and the shell 1. Therefore, the moving range of the movable filter plate 3 in a single direction is greater than the width of the material chamber 211 in the moving direction of the movable filter plate 3, thereby ensuring that all the filter holes 31 located below the material chamber 211 can be moved out to the outside of the material chamber 211 and cleaned by the filter hole cleaning unit 5.
[0046] In order to achieve the problem of synchronous rotation of the turntable 322 and the drive shaft 22 of the conveyor belt 2, the following features are specifically set:
[0047] A first bevel gear 324 is coaxially arranged at the bottom end of the turntable 322, and a second bevel gear 325 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 321. The first bevel gear 324 is meshed with the second bevel gear 325, and the axis of the second bevel gear 325 is horizontally arranged. The driving unit 32 also includes a rotation driver 326 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the shell 1, and the working end of the rotation driver 326 is transmission-connected to the second bevel gear 325; a synchronous wheel 327 is installed at the bottom of the turntable 322 and the bottom end of the drive shaft 22 of the conveyor belt 2, and the synchronous wheel 327 at the bottom end of the turntable 322 and the drive shaft 22 is transmission-connected via a synchronous belt 328.
[0048] The turntable 322 in this embodiment is connected to the working end of the rotation driver 326 through the first bevel gear 324 and the second bevel gear 325. The rotation driver 326 can be a servo motor. The rotation driver 326 drives the turntable 322 to rotate, thereby moving the mobile filter plate 3. The driving shaft 22 of the conveyor belt 2 and the synchronous wheel 327 provided on the turntable 322 are connected through the synchronous belt 328. Therefore, only one rotation driver 326 can simultaneously drive the turntable 322 and the driving shaft 22 to rotate. The staff can program the rotation driver 326 to realize the step-by-step movement of the material chamber 211 driven by the conveyor belt 2, and when the position of the material chamber 211 is fixed, the mobile filter plate 3 remains stationary. When the material chamber 211 moves, the mobile filter plate 3 drives the filter hole 31 to change position.
[0049] As the movable filter plate 3 moves back and forth, the filter holes 31 are separated from the lower opening of the material chamber 211 at both ends of the material chamber 211. In order to clean the filter holes 31 at both ends, the following features are specifically set:
[0050] The filter pore cleaning unit 5 includes an air source 51 fixedly mounted on the housing 1 (combined with Figure 1 and Figure 7 ), and two gas boxes 52, the output end of the gas source 51 is connected to the gas box 52 through the air pipe, and the gas box 52 is respectively installed outside the housing 1 and inside the inner support plate 13 (combined Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 ), the air box 52 extends along the width direction of the movable filter plate 3; the air box 52 is provided with a plurality of air outlets 521 at the bottom, the diameter of the air outlet 521 is not greater than the diameter of the filter hole 31, and the air outlets 521 are evenly spaced along the width direction of the movable filter plate 3, and the spacing between the air outlets 521 is the same as the spacing between the filter holes 31.
[0051] The air strip box 52 of the filter hole cleaning unit 5 in this embodiment is respectively installed on the outside of the shell 1 and the inside of the inner support plate 13. Therefore, when the filter plate 3 moves back and forth, the filter holes 31 that are separated from the material chamber 211 in different directions can pass through the air outlet 521 at the bottom of the air strip box 52. The air source 51 transports air into the air strip box 52. When the filter hole 31 moves to the air outlet 521, the air in the air strip box 52 is transported from the air outlet 521 to the filter hole 31, and the residue in the filter hole 31 is blown out to achieve the cleaning of the filter hole 31. , the filter holes 31 passing through the air box 52 from the direction of the material chamber 211 still need to pass through the air box 52 again to move to the bottom of the material chamber 211 during the reverse movement of the movable filter plate 3. Therefore, the filter holes 31 can be cleaned for a second time to ensure that the filter holes 31 are unobstructed after moving to the bottom of the material chamber 211 again. In addition, during the horizontal movement of the movable filter plate 3, the overlapping area of the filter holes 31 and the air outlet 521 will change. Therefore, the air flow velocity through the filter holes 31 and the air outlet 521 will be accelerated accordingly, thereby improving the cleaning intensity of the filter holes 31.
[0052] In order to increase the impact force of the gas on the residue in the filter pores 31, the following features are specifically set:
[0053] The spacing between the filter holes 31 on the movable filter plate 3 along the moving direction of the movable filter plate 3 is not less than the diameter of the filter holes 31; a piston pressure plate 522 is provided in the air bar box 52, and a vertical guide rod 523 is provided on the top of the piston pressure plate 522. The guide rod 523 is inserted into a guide sleeve 524 provided at the top of the air bar box 52, and a spring 525 is provided on the guide sleeve 524. The spring 525 elastically connects the piston pressure plate 522 and the top of the air bar box 52, and the elastic force of the spring 525 causes the piston pressure plate 522 to move downward.
[0054] Since the spacing between the filter holes 31 on the movable filter plate 3 along the moving direction of the movable filter plate 3 is not less than the diameter of the filter holes 31, each time the movable filter plate 3 moves so that the air outlet 521 is located between adjacent filter holes 31, the movable filter plate 3 can block the air outlet 521, thereby rapidly increasing the air pressure in the air source 51. Subsequently, when the movable filter plate 3 moves again to overlap the filter holes 31 and the air outlet 521, the impact force of the air flow on the residue in the filter holes 31 can be increased, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency. The piston pressure plate 522 installed in the air box 52 can move upward and compress the spring 525 when the air pressure in the air box 52 is too high. After the air outlet 521 overlaps with the filter hole 31, the piston pressure plate 522 can move downward rapidly under the elastic force of the spring 525 to discharge the gas in the air box 52.
[0055] In order to solve the problem of how to collect the separated liquid in the liquid collecting tank 6, the following features are specifically set:
[0056] The liquid collecting box 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the shell 1 with its opening upward, and the top of the liquid collecting box 6 is in contact with the lower surface of the movable filter plate 3. The liquid collecting box 6 includes a liquid collecting chamber 61 located below the moving path of the material chamber 211. The bottom of the liquid collecting chamber 61 is provided with an inclined surface inclined toward the center, and a drain pipe 611 is provided at the lowest position in the center of the liquid collecting chamber 61.
[0057] The liquid collecting box 6 in this embodiment is fixedly installed at the bottom of the shell 1. The top opening of the liquid collecting chamber 61 of the liquid collecting box 6 is in contact with the bottom of the movable filter plate 3, and is located in the moving path of the material chamber 211 and below the extrusion block 43. When the extrusion block 43 enters the material chamber 211 to extrude the material, the liquid passing through the filter hole 31 falls into the liquid collecting chamber 61 of the liquid collecting box 6, and flows along the inclined surface of the liquid collecting chamber 61 to the drain pipe 611 and is discharged for subsequent liquid processing.
[0058] In order to uniformly collect the residues cleaned by the filter pore cleaning unit 5, the following features are specifically set:
[0059] The liquid collecting tank 6 is also provided with two slag collecting chambers 62 located below the two gas strip boxes 52. The two slag collecting chambers 62 are respectively located on both sides of the liquid collecting chamber 61. The slag collecting chamber 62 is provided with an opening on the side away from the liquid collecting chamber 61. A slag collecting box 621 is installed in the slag collecting chamber 62. The slag collecting box 621 opens upward, and an air vent 622 is provided on the side of the slag collecting box 621 facing the outside of the liquid collecting tank 6.
[0060] In this embodiment, slag collecting chambers 62 are further provided on both sides of the liquid collecting chamber 61 of the liquid collecting box 6. The slag collecting chamber 62 is located below the gas strip box 52. Therefore, after the gas strip box 52 blows out the residue in the filter hole 31, it can directly enter the slag collecting chamber 62 through the opening on the upper side of the liquid collecting box 6 and fall into the slag collecting box 621 installed in the slag collecting chamber 62. The staff only needs to clean the slag collecting box 621 regularly. The slag collecting box 621 is also provided with an air vent 622. The air vent 622 can discharge the gas input into the slag collecting chamber 62 by the gas strip box 52 to avoid excessive air pressure in the slag collecting chamber 62.
[0061] Working principle: After completing the classification and filtration of the kitchen waste, the solid waste material enters the material cavity 211 formed between the two adjacent partitions 21 on the conveyor belt 2 through the feed port 11 of the shell 1. When the drive shaft 22 drives the conveyor belt 2 to rotate, the material in the material cavity 211 moves with the material cavity 211 until it passes over the top of the movable filter plate 3. At this time, the squeezing unit 4 squeezes the material in the material cavity 211, so that the liquid in the material is discharged from the bottom of the filter hole 31 of the movable filter plate 3. The liquid collecting box 6 provided at the bottom of the shell 1 collects the liquid discharged from the filter hole 31 of the movable filter plate 3. , solid-liquid separation is achieved, and the material after extrusion continues to move. When the material after moisture is discharged moves to the discharge hole 12, the material in the material cavity 211 falls down, and the conveyor belt 2 drives multiple material cavities 211 to move back and forth. At the same time, the mobile filter plate 3 is located at the bottom of the shell 1 and moves back and forth in a straight line. The mobile filter plate 3 changes the filter hole 31 below the material cavity 211 by movement. The filter hole 31 moved out of the material cavity 211 can be cleaned by the filter hole cleaning unit 5 installed on the shell 1, and the filter hole cleaning unit 5 discharges the residue blocked in the filter hole 31 of the mobile filter plate 3.
