Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] In the first embodiment, a fermentation enzyme feeding control device for treating perishable kitchen waste includes a fermentation device 1. A feeding mechanism 2 is installed on the top of the fermentation device 1 for real-time monitoring and control of the amount of fermentation enzyme added, achieving precise management of the kitchen waste fermentation process. An exhaust mechanism 3 is installed on the right side of the fermentation device 1 to collect and discharge the gas generated during fermentation, preventing pressure buildup inside the fermentation device 1 and reducing gas outflow that could pollute the environment. The feeding mechanism 2 includes:

[0025] The storage unit 21 is located on top of the fermentation device 1 and is used to uniformly transport the fermentation material.

[0026] Weighing unit 22, located on the right side of storage unit 21, includes mounting frame 221. A fixing block 222 is fixedly installed inside the top plate of mounting frame 221. A weighing sensor 223 is fixedly installed on the top of fixing block 222. Four sliding columns 224 are slidably installed through the inside of fixing block 222. A pressure plate 225 is fixedly installed on the top of sliding column 224. A cross 226 is fixedly installed on the bottom of sliding column 224. A weighing box 227 is fixedly installed on the bottom of cross 226. Fermentation enzyme is added to the weighing box 227. The cross 226 and pressure plate 225 make contact between the pressure plate 225 and the weighing sensor 223 to achieve quantitative addition of fermentation enzyme.

[0027] The weighing sensor 223 is model CZL204GC. The storage unit 21 inputs the fermentation enzyme into the weighing box 227. The fermentation enzyme moves the weighing box 227 downward by its own weight. The downward movement of the weighing box 227 moves the cross 226 downward simultaneously. The cross 226 moves the pressure plate 225 downward through the sliding column 224. The pressure plate 225 presses down on the weighing sensor 223 to weigh the fermentation enzyme. This allows the fermentation enzyme to be weighed in the appropriate amount according to the amount of kitchen waste, thereby avoiding excessive enzyme leading to resource waste and increased costs, and insufficient enzyme affecting the fermentation effect and reducing waste treatment efficiency.

[0028] In this embodiment, a sleeve 229 is installed through the inside of the right side of the top cover of the fermentation device 1, and a sliding tube 228 is slidably installed inside the sleeve 229, and the top end of the sliding tube 228 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the weighing box 227.

[0029] In this embodiment, a solenoid valve 2210 is fixedly installed on the outside of the sliding tube 228 for adding the fermentation enzyme weighed inside the weighing box 227.

[0030] The solenoid valve 2210, model S101005170N, is fixedly installed on the outside of the sliding tube 228 to release the fermentation enzyme weighed inside the symmetrical weighing box 227.

[0031] In this embodiment, the storage unit 21 includes a fixed frame 211 fixedly installed above the top cover of the fermentation device 1. A support frame 215 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed frame 211, and a storage box 216 for storing fermentation enzymes is fixedly installed on the inner side of the support frame 215.

[0032] Storage box 216, which is fixedly installed on the inside of support frame 215, is used for storing fermentation enzymes.

[0033] In this embodiment, a conveying pipe 212 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed frame 211, and a screw rod 213 is rotatably installed inside the conveying pipe 212. The screw rod 213 rotates to convey the fermentation enzyme. A motor 214 is fixedly installed on the left end of the conveying pipe 212, and the output end of the motor 214 passes through the conveying pipe 212 and is fixedly connected to the left end of the screw rod 213.

[0034] Motor 214 is a three-phase asynchronous motor with a self-locking function. It is electrically connected to an external power supply and can be opened and closed through a human-operated control panel. When motor 214 runs, it drives screw 213 to rotate. Screw 213 transfers the fermentation enzyme inside storage tank 216 from the inlet of conveying pipe 212 to the outlet of conveying pipe 212, and then enters the weighing box 227 through the outlet.

[0035] The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the exhaust mechanism 3 includes a fixed base 31 fixedly installed on the right side of the bottom of the fermentation tank of the fermentation device 1, a pump 32 fixedly installed on the top of the fixed base 31, an air inlet pipe 33 fixedly installed on the left end of the pump 32, and one end of the air inlet pipe 33 is inserted through and inserted into the fermentation tank of the fermentation device 1. An exhaust pipe 34 is fixedly installed on the right end of the pump 32.

[0036] The pump 32, model 42113-25A, is electrically connected to an external power supply and is operated by a human control panel. The pump 32 draws out the gas produced by fermentation inside the fermentation tank of the fermentation device 1 through the air inlet pipe 33 and transmits it to the collection device or the filter device through the exhaust pipe 34. This prevents pressure buildup, ensures that the fermentation tank operates under safe pressure, avoids equipment damage or safety hazards caused by excessive pressure, and reduces odor emissions, improving the working environment and surrounding air quality.

[0037] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0038] During operation, the staff first pours the fermentation enzyme into the storage box 216 for storage, and then pours the kitchen waste into the fermentation tank through the feed port on the top cover of the fermentation device 1.

[0039] Secondly, the motor 214 drives the screw 213 to rotate, and the screw 213 transfers the fermentation enzyme inside the storage box 216 from the inlet of the conveying pipe 212 to the outlet of the conveying pipe 212, and then enters the weighing box 227 through the outlet.

[0040] Then, the fermentation enzyme moves the weighing box 227 down by its own weight. The movement of the weighing box 227 moves the cross 226 down synchronously. The cross 226 moves the pressure plate 225 down through the sliding column 224. The pressure plate 225 presses down the weighing sensor 223 to weigh the fermentation enzyme, so that the fermentation enzyme is weighed to the appropriate amount according to the amount of kitchen waste. The solenoid valve 2210 opens to introduce the fermentation enzyme weighed inside the weighing box 227 into the fermentation tank of the fermentation device 1.

[0041] Finally, the food waste and fermentation enzymes inside the fermentation tank of fermentation device 1 are mixed and fermented by the stirring device. At the same time, the pump 32 operates to draw out the gas generated by fermentation inside the fermentation tank of fermentation device 1 through the air inlet pipe 33, and transmits it to the inside of the collection device or the filter device through the exhaust pipe 34.
