With improved waste sorting, the amount of food waste produced in my country is rapidly increasing, placing significant pressure on urban ecological environments. If not properly disposed of, it will severely impact the surrounding ecosystem, causing severe ecological problems such as the spread of disease and pests. Food waste is typically highly biodegradable, high in organic matter and oil, making it a highly economically valuable renewable resource.

This involves producing a slurry with a high organic content and separating impurities such as metals, sand, gravel, plastics, ceramics, wood, bamboo, and fabric. my country's waste sorting system is relatively new, and mature food waste pretreatment technologies are limited. Current technologies, adapted from existing household waste sorting processes, result in low organic matter recovery rates, high residue yields, and significant equipment clogging and wear.

When the airfoil blade 505 rotates at a high speed, it can generate a downward force on the slurry when passing through, pushing the slurry downward to pass through the sieve plate 501. After the airfoil blade 505 passes, the slurry under the sieve plate is pushed upward to pass through the sieve plate 501 under the action of the pressure difference formed by the different flow rates, thereby realizing the self-cleaning function of the sieve plate.

[0037] According to a hydraulic pulping machine described in an embodiment of the present invention, in a specific embodiment, the rotor 5 is connected to the bearing, main shaft, bearing seat, pulley, and drive motor through a transmission shaft 502 to form a transmission assembly; the rotor 5 is driven by the drive motor and the pulley, the drive motor is variable frequency operated, the transmission ratio of the belt is generally 2.5 to 3, the operating speed of the rotor 5 is 150 to 300 r / min, and the working torque of the rotor 5 is ≥5000 N∙m.

[0038] In order to facilitate understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the above technical solutions of the present invention are described in detail below through specific usage methods.

[0039] The present invention provides a rotor suitable for efficient food waste shredding, comprising a sieve plate 501, a drive shaft 502, a rotor base 503, guide vanes 504, and airfoil blades 505. The guide vanes 504 and airfoil blades 505 are integrally cast with the rotor base 503. The guide vanes 504 are arranged on the rotor base 503 in a three-lobed spiral pattern, while the airfoil blades 505 are arranged around the rotor base 503 in a six-lobed annular pattern. A drive shaft 502 is mounted in the center of the rotor base 503, which is then attached to the sieve plate 501 via the drive shaft 502.

[0040] refer to Figure 3-Figure 4 The hydraulic pulping machine of the present invention comprises a hydraulic pulping machine tank 1, a feed port 2, a pulp discharge port 3, a slag discharge port 4, a rotor 5, a main shaft 6, and a pulley 7. The rotor 5 is mounted at the bottom center of the pulping machine tank 1 and is connected to the pulley 7 via the main shaft 6 to form a transmission assembly, which is then connected to the drive motor via a belt. The feed port 2 is located at the top of the pulping machine tank 1; the pulp discharge port 3 is located at the bottom of the pulping machine tank 1, below the screen plate 501 of the rotor 5; and the slag discharge port 4 is located on the lower side of the pulping machine tank 1.

[0041] During specific use, food waste is fed into the pulping machine tank 1 through the feed port 2. The pulley 7 starts to rotate under the drive of the motor, and the pulley 7 drives the main shaft 6 and the rotor 5 to rotate. The components in the food waste can be separated with high precision in a short time. Finally, the impurities and organic slurry are output separately through screening. A screen plate 501 is provided below the rotor 5, and a pulp discharge port 3 is provided at the bottom of the pulping machine tank 1. After the decomposition is completed, the good pulp that meets the requirements is pushed downward by the rotating airfoil blades 505 to pass through the screen plate 501, accelerating the pulp discharge process. The pulp is then pumped out by the pulp pump and sent to the cooking and oil extraction system. The soft and rigid impurities intercepted by the screen plate 501 are pushed outward from the center by the guide vanes 504 to form centrifugal force, and are discharged through the slag discharge port 4. The residue produced after squeezing and dehydration is transported out.

[0042] In some embodiments, the guide vanes 504 are arranged in a three-lobed spiral. When the guide vanes 504 rotate at high speed, the food waste in the pulping machine tank 1 is sucked in along the center of the axis and ejected at high speed from the circumference, forming a violent turbulent circulation. This creates a peristaltic movement of different velocity slurry layers within the tank, generating a significant friction effect, which strongly decomposes and separates the fibers of the food waste in its wet state. The hydraulic impact and hydraulic shear generated by the guide vanes 504, as well as the kneading, friction, decomposition, and separation between the different velocity slurry layers, achieve efficient crushing and separation of the food waste.

[0043] In some embodiments, the airfoil blades 505 are arranged in a six-blade ring. The serrated structure at the front of the blades creates a strong tearing action on the food waste during high-speed rotation, achieving efficient shredding of the food waste and preventing entanglement of slender fibers. The airfoil blades 505 have an airfoil-shaped cross-section, with an angle of attack of 5-10° between the centerline of the airfoil blades 505 and the sieve plate. The distance between the lower edge of the airfoil blades 505 and the sieve plate 501 is 2-5 mm. When the airfoil blades 505 rotate at high speed, they exert a downward force on the slurry as they pass through the sieve plate 501, pushing it downward. After the airfoil blades 505 pass, the pressure differential created by the different flow rates pushes the slurry upward through the sieve plate, thus achieving a self-cleaning function for the sieve plate 501. During this process, the fiber bundles rub against each other in the gap between the rotor 5 and the sieve plate 501, increasing shredding and fiberization and ensuring self-cleaning of the sieve plate.

[0044] In some embodiments, the aforementioned treatment of food waste can achieve an inorganic matter removal rate exceeding 60%, an organic matter recovery rate exceeding 85%, a residue yield below 12%, and a residue moisture content below 65%. The pulping pretreatment using this method is characterized by low impurity content and high organic matter content, making it easier to remove sand, impurities, and oil from the waste, which is crucial for ensuring the stable operation of subsequent processing systems.

[0045] In some embodiments, the airfoil blades 505 may be arranged in a three-leaf ring shape, and the front end of the airfoil blades 505 may not be set to a serrated shape, but may be set to a sharp blade structure, which can produce a cutting effect on food waste and is used for the pretreatment of food waste with good garbage classification, low impurity content and high moisture content.

[0046] To sum up, with the help of the above-mentioned technical scheme of the utility model, through the optimization and improvement design of the product of the utility model, the motor drives the transmission shaft to drive the guide blades and the airfoil blades to rotate at high speed. The high-speed rotation of the guide blades forms a violent turbulent circulation and the mutual peristalsis of pulp flow layers of different speeds in the pulping machine. In addition, the tearing of the airfoil blades and the force generated on the slurry achieve efficient crushing and separation of food waste. The rotor also has the functions of preventing slender fiber materials from wrapping around the shaft and self-cleaning of the screen plate.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
