Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solid waste treatment technology, and in particular to a kitchen waste treatment device. Background Technology
[0002] Food waste is an important component of organic waste in urban solid waste. From a chemical composition perspective, food waste is mainly composed of proteins, lipids, starches, cellulose, and inorganic salts. Its physicochemical characteristics can be described by "four highs": high oil content, high organic matter content, high salt content, and high moisture content.
[0003] Currently, food waste treatment technologies both domestically and internationally can be broadly categorized into two types based on the treatment medium: non-biological treatment technologies and biological treatment technologies. Non-biological treatment technologies refer to traditional waste disposal methods such as incineration and sanitary landfill, as well as emerging methods such as mechanical pulverization and direct discharge, dehydration for animal feed production, and vacuum frying for animal feed production. Biological treatment technologies mainly include anaerobic digestion, aerobic composting, and vermicomposting. Each treatment technology has its advantages and disadvantages. In practical applications, factors such as local conditions, economic circumstances, and the characteristics of food waste should be comprehensively considered, and multiple treatment technologies should be used in combination to achieve better treatment results and generate greater economic and environmental benefits.
[0004] Food waste needs to be collected, but more importantly, its volume should be reduced at the source to lower the costs of collection, transportation, and treatment. However, existing food waste treatment equipment is bulky, lacks integration, and cannot meet the needs of space-constrained places such as canteens and restaurants. Furthermore, its processing speed is slow, treatment is incomplete, it easily produces odors, and the treated waste cannot be directly discharged into the municipal sewer system, potentially causing secondary pollution.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0028] Figures 1 to 7This utility model demonstrates a kitchen waste treatment device, comprising: a box-type body, the box-type body including a crushing and digesting unit and a drainage tank 8 located on both sides, the crushing and digesting unit including a feed inlet 1 at the top, a crushing device 4 connected to the feed inlet 1, and a digesting device 11 below the crushing device 4, the drainage tank 8 including a water inlet 7 at the top, a flushing pump 10 at the bottom, and a flushing pipe 6 connected to the flushing pump 10 and extending to the inlet of the crushing device 4, the end of the flushing pipe 6 being provided with a flushing nozzle 17.
[0029] The inlet 7 is connected to a tap water pipe for initial water replenishment and rinsing during crushing. The resulting liquid mixture after digestion is stored in a drainage tank 8 and can also be used to rinse the crushing device 4. Excess water is discharged through the drain outlet 13 at the bottom of the drainage tank 8. The rinsing pump 10 transports the liquid mixture from the drainage tank 8 to the rinsing nozzle 17 via the rinsing pipe 6. The rinsing pipe 6 is a DN25 stainless steel pipe, and its length is configured according to the processing capacity of the food waste treatment equipment.
[0030] A flushing nozzle 17 is installed at the inlet of the crushing device 4 to flush away the kitchen waste remaining during crushing. This ensures the proper functioning of the gears in the crushing device 4 while maintaining the humidity (60-70%) of the mixed kitchen waste in the digestion device 11, which is conducive to the smooth progress of aerobic digestion.
[0031] The flushing nozzle 17 uses a V-shaped stainless steel narrow-angle fan-shaped nozzle with a spray angle of 30°~60°, which can produce a high-impact narrow-angle fan-shaped spray with uniform spray distribution, medium droplet size, and clear spray edge definition. The narrow-angle nozzle is designed as an integral part of the external pipe threaded joint, and the large and smooth channel reduces blockage. The resulting guide plane provides a uniform, high-impact spray shape.
[0032] The number of flushing nozzles 17 can be configured according to the processing capacity of the food waste treatment equipment, but at least 4 nozzles should be set to ensure the flushing effect. For example, when the processing capacity is <200kg / d, the equipment can be equipped with 4 flushing nozzles 17; when the processing capacity is ≥200kg / d, 6 flushing nozzles 17 can be equipped.
[0033] The digestion device 11 has a cavity structure, including a mixer 5 located in the middle of the cavity and a drain pipe 12 located at the bottom. The other end of the drain pipe 12 is connected to a drainage pool 8. After the crushed kitchen waste is stirred and fermented by the mixer 5, it is discharged into the drainage pool 8 through the drain pipe 12.
[0034] The cavity structure can be a steel trough-type device, in which filler and composite fermentation agent are arranged; the filler is a porous modified material with PE material as the skeleton, and the filler has interconnected pores distributed inside; this type of filler is hydrophilic and positively charged, which is conducive to bacterial attachment and growth; the composite fermentation agent is selected from microbial agents, preferably Bacillus thermophilus, Lactobacillus zeatus, Bacillus subtilis and sucralose.
[0035] The crushed food waste is mixed by the connected mixer 5, thoroughly combined with the filler and compound fermentation agent, and combined with oxygen in the air. Through an aerobic digestion reaction at 20-30℃, the organic matter in the food waste is degraded by microorganisms. Large starch molecules are broken down into smaller sugar molecules, proteins into smaller amino acids, lipids into smaller fatty acids, and cellulose into glucose. The final degradation product is a mixed liquid rich in reducing sugars and organic acids. This mixed liquid is then stored in the drainage tank 8 through the digestion drain pipe 12.
[0036] The mixer 5 is equipped with mixing blades, and the blades are designed with a rectangular structure, which is more conducive to the mixing and fermentation of kitchen waste.
[0037] The top surface of the box-type body of the food waste treatment equipment is equipped with a drainage pool inspection port cover 3, and the side is equipped with a digestion device inspection port 111, so as to facilitate the maintenance of the drainage pool 8 and the digestion device 11.
[0038] The food waste treatment equipment also includes a control unit 9 located on one side of the drainage tank 8. The control unit includes a control panel 14, operation buttons and internal components, which are used to control the start and stop and operation of the flushing pump 10, the crushing device 4 and the digestion device 11, thereby ensuring the automatic operation of the entire set of equipment.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
