[0027] In embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, a food waste sorting device includes a sorting box 1, which includes two supports 101 and a sorting bin 102 fixed on the supports 101. A feed hopper 103 is installed on one side of the top of the sorting bin 102, allowing workers to easily feed the pulverized food waste into the sorting bin 102. Organic waste is pulverized more thoroughly than inorganic waste. A discharge pipe 104 is provided on one side of the bottom of the sorting bin 102, through which the sorted waste is discharged. The supports 101 support the sorting bin 102, stabilizing the sorting space structure. A blower assembly 3 is installed on the end side of the sorting box 1. The blower assembly 3 includes components mounted on the supports 101. A blower 31 is located on one side. The outlet of the blower 31 is connected to a guide pipe 32. One end of the guide pipe 32 is connected to multiple branch pipes 33 that communicate with the interior of the sorting bin 102. The air generated by the blower 31 is evenly delivered to the interior of the sorting bin 102 through the guide pipe 32 and branch pipes 33, achieving the purpose of providing stable airflow for air separation and improving the air separation effect. A material-turning separation assembly 5 is rotatably installed inside the sorting bin 102. The material-turning separation assembly 5 includes a rotating shaft 51 rotatably installed inside the sorting bin 102. Multiple annularly distributed and spirally arranged separation screens 53 are fixed to the outside of the rotating shaft 51. Scraper strips 5 are fixed to the sides of the separation screens 53 and adhere to the inner wall of the sorting bin 102. 2. One end of the rotating shaft 51 is connected to the drive mechanism 4. The drive mechanism drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotating shaft 51 drives the separating screen plate 53 and the scraper 52 to rotate. The spiral separating screen plate 53 can break up the adhered organic materials during rotation and separate them from the non-degradable waste. The separating screen plate 53 can push the non-degradable waste out from the end of the sorting bin 102. The scraper 52 can clean the organic waste adhering to the sorting bin 102 during rotation and push it to the discharge pipe 104 for discharge. One end of the turning and separating component 5 is connected to the drive mechanism 4. The drive mechanism 4 includes a drive motor 41. Both the output shaft of 41 and the end of the rotating shaft 51 are fixed with pulleys 42. A belt 43 is connected between the two pulleys 42 for transmission. The drive motor 41 drives the pulleys 42 to rotate. The belt 43 drives the other pulley 42 to rotate the rotating shaft 51, providing stable power for the material turning and separating component 5. A guide component 2 is installed below the discharge end of the sorting box 1. A guide plate 6 located below the conveyor belt 22 is fixed on one side of the bottom of the bracket 101. The conveyor motor 23 drives the guide roller 21 to rotate, which drives the conveyor belt 22 to transport the sorted kitchen waste. The slurry is filtered and falls into the guide plate 6, realizing the purpose of automatic transmission of sorted waste.

[0028] The working principle of the kitchen waste sorting device provided by this utility model is as follows: The feeding hopper 103 facilitates the input of crushed kitchen waste into the sorting bin 102. Organic waste is crushed more thoroughly than inorganic waste. The drive motor 41 rotates the pulley 42, and the belt 43 drives another pulley 42 to rotate the shaft 51. The shaft 51 rotates the separating screen plate 53 and the scraper 52. During rotation, the spiral separating screen plate 53 breaks up the adhered organic materials and separates them from the non-degradable waste. The separating screen plate 53 pushes the non-degradable waste out from the end of the sorting bin 102. The scraper 52, during rotation, removes the organic waste adhering to the inside of the sorting bin 102. The waste is cleaned and pushed to the discharge pipe 104 for discharge. The air generated by the blower 31 is evenly transported to the inside of the sorting bin 102 through the guide pipe 32 and branch pipe 33. The kitchen waste turned over by the turning and separating component 5 is dried under the action of wind, which promotes the separation and filtration between food waste and non-degradable waste. During the turning process, non-degradable waste can be discharged through the end of the sorting box 1. The light and soft organic materials and slurry after sorting are discharged along the discharge pipe 104 at the bottom of the sorting box 1. The conveying motor 23 drives the guide roller 21 to rotate, which drives the conveyor belt 22 to transport the sorted kitchen waste. The slurry is filtered and falls into the guide plate 6, realizing the purpose of automatic transmission of sorted waste.
