No. 62 / 946,655, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. is incorporated herein in its entirety.

[0002] The present disclosure relates to a food recycler, specifically to the injection of foodstuffs into a liquid food solution and and / or to a design or system that allows for drying of food waste onto granular media. Various features within the system, including the filter system, airflow structure, and cutting blade structure Several different systems are disclosed, including: [Background technology]

[0003] Organic whole foods contain edible ingredients, edible non-palatable ingredients, and inedible ingredients. Edible ingredients generally include the flavor of the foodstuff that constitutes the serving portion. The edible, non-tasty parts are generally cut off pieces. , scraps, leaves, skins, rinds, husks, flesh, stems, seeds, oxidized foods (e.g. avocado, lime, shriveled or dead vegetation, bone material, connective tissue, fibrous material, food with a rough texture Foods that are misshapen, discolored, previously cooked, expired, or unsafe to eat or drink Consists of food parts that are not served, such as other food items that are tasty but may not be palatable. Inedible ingredients are unsuitable for consumption because of unpleasant taste, poor nutritional value, or Food ingredients (e.g. phosphorus) that are dangerous to the health of people who may ingest these ingredients. seeds, foodstuffs infested or infected with non-beneficial substances, toxins, or pathogenic materials) may include.

[0004] Traditional cooking places great importance on valuable foodstuffs. For example, traditional techniques minimize waste. They often seek to maximize the nutritional value and flavor that can be consumed while keeping food consumption to a minimum. For example, in classical French cooking, the nutrients and flavors of unpalatable foods are transferred to liquid. , to produce culinary stock or flavor, a valuable basis for broths, soups, and sauces. Making dashi stock is the core culinary skill of a saucier or sauce chef, and sauciers must pass on the skills of Top line cook position in a traditional French Brigade restaurant kitchen In such a kitchen, the hierarchy of foods described in the previous paragraph is For infusion, provide the saucier with the core flavor and nutritional elements to create a stock or broth. Flavorful and nutritious stocks and soups are used in sauces, soups, and other applications. These form the basic inputs for stocks, soups, and stews. The scraps act as cooking liquid to enhance the flavor of the sauté cooking method. The nutritional and flavor contributions of vegetable waste were compared with those of a stock made by re-cooking bones twice. Remouillage is best measured against the high praise of French cuisine. Yes, it is. But over time, the enjoyment of food comes from examining food ingredients for their nutritional value and Instead of flavor, it is an aesthetic element that is specifically selected for its beautiful appearance. The shift in focus leads to a lot of food waste.

[0005] Food waste accounts for one-third of all garbage in landfills. The anaerobic production of methane and other greenhouse gases from the decomposition of organic food waste has a significant impact on the environment. Therefore, various entities are promoting the disposal of such food waste. Food waste to divert from landfills and reduce production of methane and other greenhouse gases You choose to compost things.

[0006] Composting is a low-density waste management method that is suitable for large quantities of food waste, and where land is scarce for composting. However, composting is most effective in rural areas where there is little food waste. In urban environments, where a lot of energy is generated, this can be logistically complex and costly. Dynamic changes and voluntary compliance can lead to reduced food waste However, this has not been enough so far. Moreover, composting has focused only on waste management. and provide a means to reuse edible ingredients that would otherwise be discarded. This is why we are promoting the recycling of food waste in the kitchen and in the food cycle. flavor and nutrients to convert it into a nutrient-preserved growing medium for reintroduction into the culls. It would be advantageous to provide a kitchen based organic food conversion process and apparatus that extracts do. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0140] Energy saving Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to providing alternative forms of heat that differ from current configurations. Existing food recyclers transfer heat to the bucket and discard the food as part of the food recycling process. The present disclosure utilizes a hot plate that heats the food waste as part of the recycling process. This disclosure introduces a new approach to heating. We will introduce the concept of food recycling in a way that is easy to understand and then incorporate some of these principles as part of the food recycling process. and utilizing RF components to at least partially heat waste food. and apply them to new situations and new structures.

[0141] 9A-9D illustrate an example of the introduction of RF components into a food recycling machine. Microwaves have a frequency that penetrates and excites water, fat and sugar molecules. For this to happen, the electrons orbiting the nucleus must transition to a higher energy level. When this happens, the atoms start vibrating faster than normal. When this happens in a glass of water, all the atoms that make up the water start to move, collide with each other, It creates friction. When friction occurs, energy is generated in the form of heat. Using microwave technology The generation of heat used in food recycling is part of the dehydration process associated with food recycling. The process preferably heats the waste food as part of the process. When heated, it transfers heat from the hot plate to the bucket, thereby distributing the waste food. The hot plate that heats the food was placed inside the food recycling device. The introduction of an RF component to heat food selectively compared to just heating the food through a hot plate. This will result in a more efficient food recycling process.

For example, the waveguide 90 4 responds to sensor data to heat waste food evenly and avoid hot spots Dynamically adjustable, so that a specific waveguide configuration can be selected or configured In another aspect, the system may utilize sensor data to For example, the sensor data may determine how to perform various steps of the process. This is used to determine whether to start the grinding component in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. The sensor data can be used to monitor the food recycling process as indicated by the control system. What type of microwave heating would be used to implement heating of waste food as part of the , to determine how much, how long, and under what waveguide configuration to run. The sensor data can be used to monitor the air circulation system, the filters for filtering the air, Use of hot plates, use of hot plates and combined use of RF components to heat waste food The velocity of the grinding components, if any of these characteristics are part of the food recycling process, This can further be used to manage the period during which the contract applies.

[0147] In one embodiment, the RF component directs RF energy to the food waste mass during a drying cycle. The RF emitter elements are oriented in one direction to generate heat in the food waste. RF emitter elements, either separately or in combination, can be used to and oriented toward the food waste mass so as to generate heat within the food waste mass when energized. In one embodiment, the antenna includes a flat or The parabolic reflecting element is used to increase the transmittance before and after the energy emitting element, It is positioned behind the radiating element so as to reflect the energy back towards the mass.

[0148] In one embodiment, the RF transmitter includes an antenna tuned to radiate at a wavelength of 12.2 cm. In an alternative embodiment, the RF transmitter radiates at a frequency of 2.45 GHz coupled to a 32 A frequency of 915 MHz coupled to an antenna tuned to radiate at a wavelength of .7 cm The RF transmitter is mounted in the lid and is connected to an antenna array on the planar circuit assembly. In one embodiment, the RF transmitter and radiating antenna are integrated within the lid assembly or food receptacle. The RF transmitter located in the salmon roe case 940 is connected via an RF interconnection cable. In another embodiment, the RF emitter element is a separate element for detecting targeted contamination of food wastewater components. 3000 nm wavelength due to absorption and untargeted reflection by bucket material components An electrically heated material comprising a carbon material or other suitable material optimized to radiate Replaced by an infrared heating element.

[0149] The frequencies and wavelengths disclosed are those used by the food recycling equipment at the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) and Institute of Electrical Engineers f Electrical and Electronics Engineers(I Note that this is provided for reference purposes to enable operation within the EEE (E.E.E.E.E. However, RF irradiation of food waste chunks as part of the described conversion process is not required. The application of energy should not be limited by frequency or wavelength.

[0150] In one embodiment, a cavity of the food recycling equipment 900 that is configured to receive the container The food recycling device 900 includes a set of wires, the wires being electrically energized. The device is configured to direct electromagnetic energy into the vessel within the cavity when the device is activated.

Heat is drawn from an external source and managed through user program selections on the internal thermostat. or pull the mechanical connection to a contact relay for use-time energy management In addition, the operation activity can be controlled through cycle selection of the time period selected by the operator. Through the application, you can also reduce costs, and cycle selection is a time-of-day energy saving option. Energy cost programmed into batch prioritization and time-of-use energy input costs To provide user-selectable batch energy costs and alternatives based on can be done.

[0152] FIG. 10A illustrates another exemplary configuration of the system 1000 and is related to a food recycling device. This configuration incorporates some of the components discussed above. The food recycling equipment 1002 is generally made up of a The following improvements to the waste equipment allow the equipment to identify the type and amount of waste food: , allowing such data to be communicated to a network server for analysis and processing. Add technological elements to food recycling equipment that allow for this type of analysis, and By connecting the food recycling machines on the fication, social media interaction, promotion, advertising, vending For the purposes of providing opportunities such as meetings, regional or geographic-based communications, It is possible to develop an entire ecosystem where performance data can be collected and evaluated. Cut.

[0153] For example, food recycling device 1002 may include a bucket contained within a food recycling device case. The gearbox 1006 includes a transfer case 1008 and a motor 1010. The control system 1014 communicates with the motor 1010 and the wireless communication module 10. 10 and other components such as sensors 1017. A scale that can be used to weigh or determine the weight of the waste food 1015 placed in the scale. The user interface 1011 may also represent a waste food disposal system. It allows a user to provide input to the system in connection with executing the call. The filter system 1012 is also shown in relation to the air circulation system.

[0154] Food waste 1015 is placed in the bucket 1004 by a user of the system. The advanced version of the food recycling machine 1002 provides improved usability of the system Generally speaking, the sensor component 1 has several additional features that provide improved performance and efficiency. 017 and enhanced user interface 1011 to food recycling equipment 1002 The inclusion of the bucket 1004 in the system allows the system to determine the characteristics of the food waste 1015 placed in the bucket 1004. The sensor component 1017 may also be capable of detecting the amount of food waste 101. 5. Detect the temperature of the object and determine whether it is hot, cold, frozen, etc. By determining the characteristics of food waste, the sensor data can or via a cell tower or receiving data from food recycling equipment 1002. 10. Any access point 1018 via any type of wireless component that can and can communicate with the device via wireless communication module 1016 either manually or automatically. The node 1018 can communicate with the food The data is communicated to a server 1024 associated with the recycling device 1002. 024 can communicate data to a social media network 1026, The social media network 1026 also provides advertising entities, gaming applications, The server 1024 may represent an interface entity, a communication entity, etc. and communicating the data through the internet 1020 back to the user's device 1022. The alternative entity 1026 may also transmit data to the user's device 1022. It can be trusted.

[0155] Wireless communication components 1016 may include WiFi, cellular technology, 5G, Bluetooth, or or any communication protocol desired. The ability to detect characteristics of the waste food 1015 is not necessarily critical to the present disclosure. , and the ability to communicate data wirelessly to the network server 1024. The developed infrastructure will improve the user experience, especially in the recycling of food waste. This enables new capabilities for

[0156] For example, the following scenario is enabled by the system disclosed in FIG. The product recycling device 1002 uses a sensor component 1017 to detect the user of the recycling device. The system detects that the user discarded or consumed approximately 10 grapefruits within a one-week period. Food recycling equipment 1002 may be aggregated for each cycle or over a period of time. provided by a user via wireless communication component 1016 on either a pre-defined basis The sensor data or manual data is transmitted to the network server 1024. The server 1024 evaluates the sensor data and, in one embodiment, applies machine learning algorithms. The characteristics associated with the user's discarded food can be evaluated and determined.

[0157] For example, machine learning algorithms can be applied to visual data of typical or expected food waste. Banana peels, chicken bones, bread, grapefruit peels, etc. can all be trained to be When new food waste is placed in the bucket 1004, the system searches for an image of the food waste. and making a classification decision or determination regarding the type of waste food that has been placed in the bucket 1004. The sensor 10 may be used to train machine learning algorithms so that the sensor 10 can 17 is carrying a camera for taking images, a video, and a bucket for removing the contents of 1004. The controller 1014 may also include a light, a Machine learning data may be used to allow evaluation of items locally on the food recycling machine 1002. For example, a machine learning algorithm can be trained on clean chicken bones. It is possible to identify areas where chicken bones may still have edible meat remaining. We ran a machine learning algorithm on a clean chicken bone with some edible meat left on it. By training the system on what are known to be chicken bones, to learn how to characterize the edible and inedible portions of food waste. This process can be used in any combination of edible and inedible ingredients. This can be applied to any type of food. For example, an apple has an edible part remaining. Grapefruit has some parts that are not eaten, and some that are edible. In another embodiment, the machine learning algorithm may be used to identify Such models can be trained and developed to learn that objects are inside the device. The output of the Dell is, for example, 5% bone, 20% fat, 25% meat, 30% vegetables, 10% bread, and and 10% water.

[0158] In general, however, the computer processes described herein are 10. The method may be implemented either locally on the device 1002 or remotely on the server 1024. Processing may also be performed partly on a local basis and partly remotely. The system also monitors bandwidth availability, energy consumption, and when computation results are needed. Computation locations may be balanced based on factors such as speed or timing.

[0159] Machine learning training can also be based on the moisture content of certain foods. In addition to the visual display, the machine learning algorithm estimates the amount of water extracted from the food waste. For example, a grapefruit that has been eaten halfway can be trained to eat the whole thing. The system ultimately determines how much food waste is It can report to the user the degree of processing for each cycle, and the amount of processed food eaten. More specific, which could include estimates of processed edible foods compared to unprocessed foods Reports can be provided.

[0160] In another embodiment, the system, upon sensing the contents or characteristics of the waste food 1015, The sensor component 1017 can receive different views of the contents of the bucket 1004. The motor may rotate the bucket 1004 so that the sensor data is The system may include multiple angles of use of the waste food 1015. The user may also include a scale 1006 that provides data regarding the weight of the user interface. The food waste management system 1002 communicates with the food recycling device 1002 via an interface 1011. For example, the food recycling device 1002 may provide additional intelligence to: The user opens the lid, places several grapefruit halves into the bucket, and simply presses As part of that controller 1014, you can say "rapefruit" An additional simplified user input may include a dynamic voice recognition system. The data can be combined with the sensor data to successfully characterize the waste food placed in the bucket. This may enable the possibility or probability to be improved.

[0161] The server 1024 collects various types of sensor data, user data, the weight of food waste, and the amount of food waste. and / or any combination of such data. For example, the system may use the In cooperation with the network entities, the location of the user device 1022 can be determined. For example, if the user goes to their standard grocery store, the system can The food recycling device 1002 is placed in a food waste The analysis of the received data may be utilized to provide, on the user device 1022, Food purchasing suggestions can be presented either proactively or in real-time. For example, The system knows that the user eats a relatively large amount of grapefruit. Therefore, the system will suggest to the user that they should purchase additional grapefruit. The system can monitor the types of food a user is eating, or in one aspect, waste. The types of foods you should be eating that may be healthier than the foods identified as part of your diet The user can be presented with recipes that have been adjusted. For example, the system can the types of food recycled, the amount of water extracted from recycled food, and the the amount of time spent recycling food, the amount of energy used to recycle food, etc. The above may be evaluated, and this data, as well as optionally, social networking groups may be used. Based on user profile data associated with or aggregated data, The user may be presented with recommended recipes or foods for purchase. Recipes may be food-efficient. For example, recipes can be customized to improve the user's eating habits. It could indicate a change in the types of foods a user or household is eating more of, or it could indicate a change in the types of foods a user or household is eating more of. In other words, the first type of food is the one that makes up a relatively large proportion of the food. If the food is still edible and is being recycled, the recipe is recycled within the household. Focus on the second type of food, which has more food but leaves less food on average is.

[0162] In another embodiment, the system can be fine-tuned to identify which aisle the user is in the grocery store. The present disclosure can distinguish between different aisles and suggest products for purchase within that aisle. This aspect includes a service associated with a particular grocery store that identifies the location of each item within the store. By knowing the food recycling history of a particular user, the system can More tailored in-store shopping experiences for specific foods that are physically close to the user Such products may be advertised or promoted in specific recipes. Related to, or simply related to, general merchandise that users are likely to want to purchase It can be proposed.

[0163] The system 1024 also processes the waste food data received from the food recycling device 1002. A database of user profiles may be generated, on which the data may be based. Other data, such as social networking data, data input from users, etc. data to drive advertising decisions for the user, the user's friends or relatives, etc. It can provide business intelligence.

[0164] The user also uses the server 1024 to communicate with the food recycling device 1002. They can download “apps” onto their mobile devices 1022 that can For example, the device 1002 and the user device 1022 may be connected via a Bluetooth connection. Communication between the food recycling equipment 1002 and the food recycling equipment 1004 may result in the following scenarios: Assume that a new input of food waste 1015 is received in 1004. A preliminary analysis shows that the waste This indicates that food 1015 is relatively likely to be grapefruit. However, The probability does not reach the appropriate threshold. The device 1002 reports the pulmonary findings to the user device 10. 22, and the user device 1022 launches the app and simply Prompts users for one-click or simplified confirmation of what their waste consists of The user can select "1" if the food waste is grapefruit, "2" if the food waste is food, If the waste is orange, you will receive a notification asking you to click "2" The system may use any available means to present data to the user for disambiguation purposes. A top-N best list of likely options is available. In addition, users can Of course, the user device 1022, the equipment 1002, the server 1024, or the end or in appropriate arrangements with one or more of the entities listed in the When placed in the appliance 1002, the discarded food items are placed in the mobile device 1022. You can interact with them or talk to them, and they will gain intelligence and intelligence from user input. This may occur in order to adjust the analysis of food waste 1015.

[0165] Further machine learning can be applied to user characteristics (age, gender, hobbies, social media habits, purchasing habits, etc.) (e.g., shopping habits, physical activity, family situation, etc.) and food recycling equipment 1002 Based on user profiles that can combine data on food waste characteristics collected This can be achieved by training models based on the timing of events. For example, it can include the type of information that a user discards, taking into account a particular user profile. The known food recycling cycles carried out in relation to the type of food waste being Taking into account the timing of the advertisement, the system will automatically select the advertisement for a particular food or a particular recipe. When is the best time to provide a service to a user, or to provide some other type of communication to the user? For example, the evaluation of discarded food can be used to determine whether users are recycling. The suggestion that the user should exercise or train, taking into account the fat content of the food. This could lead to suggestions.

[0166] The intelligence obtained and stored by the server 1024 is used to sell and For example, the server 1024 may receive a Grapefruit Roots will be on sale for the next two days, or there will be tons of grapefruit in some locations. Received information that stock is in stock and needs to be moved to the public, therefore lowering prices The system is designed to determine which users are assigned to which services based on various user profiles. have eaten some or many grapefruits and have acted on grapefruit sales You can choose which potential targets to target.

[0167] Advertisements and information can be sent directly to the user device 1022 or through Facebook (a commercial via social media networks such as Instagram (trademark) Any social media outlet may distribute such content. It is contemplated that the cellular telephone may receive data from the cellular telephone.

[0168] The food recycling equipment 1002 is not a larger commercial model, but is instead a Please note that the types and sizes of the sensors are different. The jars are generally bucket sizes ranging from 2.51 liters to 10 liters per volume, and and based on bucket size within the confined space of an equipment case with a total volume of approximately 35 liters or less. The reason for this limitation is that the food recycling equipment 1002 is This is because it is designed for gardens. To build such a system, the internal components Additional innovations in size and positioning are needed, and such systems Business intelligence can be acquired for individuals or families within the home use of food waste, as well as the types and types of food waste processed in a single recycling cycle This is more suited to the amount of

[0169] Currently, the average household is projected to waste $2,200 in food per year. One application of the technology disclosed in the document is to detect and analyze food waste, particularly food that is inedible, as compared to food that is not inedible. The user is guided by the characteristics of the discarded food with regard to the amount of edible food contained in the discarded food. The server 1024 presents the user device 1022 with the ability to provide training or notification. The information provided should include details such as an estimate of the amount of edible chicken that was thrown away in the past two months. For example, the system can determine how many $30 worth of chicken has been sold to the system in the past few months. The notification can be sent to the user device 1. The analysis may include information that may be presented to the user on the 022 screen, such as when the user is eating This can encourage users to be more efficient when it comes to cleaning chicken bones. The system evaluates the edible / inedible components of the discarded food and and provide aggregate reports on the amount of food waste in households. do.

[0170] In one embodiment, an app running on the user device 1022 may allow the user to Opt-in function that allows the user to control the detection and transmission of data to the server 1024 The user can control privacy issues and optionally disable the use of sensors 1017. Any control of the system can also be used to turn the device on, off, or on. The user 1022 may initiate a cycle, control the use of the sensing component 1017, or cycle off. The process may be performed remotely by

[0171] Another aspect of the system involves competition. For example, a group of users may compete against each other in some way. You can start a game where you compete for rewards. The competition is based on which healthy food you eat, which you discard, and which you eat. This may relate to the minimum amount of food that can be eaten, the amount of food that is wasted, etc. Five people signed up for a competitive project, which had a six-month period to decide on a food waste management system. The participants are evaluated on the quality of their food waste and prizes are awarded to the individuals who waste the least amount of food. The trust factor is that the user is trusted to properly place the waste in the food recycling machine 1002. The system then characterizes the individual's food waste over a period of time. Running data can be evaluated and tracked for each individual as well as within a group. provides individuals with a sense of how well they are doing compared to others in their group. The prize may be a gift certificate to a local grocery store or restaurant. At the end of the period, the food recycling equipment 1002 of each user is retrieved. The collected data is evaluated and compared to identify winners in specific defined categories. Such competitions can also be communicated through social media networks, Or, individuals have a similar interest in improving their health or the types of foods they eat. Connect with other individuals. Understand and evaluate the food that is recycled within a particular household. The ability to do so makes this kind of gaming application possible. The concept of the present invention is to provide at least two separate food recycling machines 1002 each. , to receive the respective personal data, and to compare and evaluate the respective data; and then encouraging individual users to engage in specific behaviors that are beneficial to their health. or incentivize them in a way that improves the efficiency of their food intake. Or providing a gaming application option.

[0172] In one embodiment, the determination of edible foods, inedible foods, food classification, etc. is performed by a bagel. This can be determined by detecting the amount of moisture in a container or food. For example, putting apples in a bucket When the food recycling cycle is run, the system determines how much moisture is extracted from the apples. The apples that were recycled were then calculated. Therefore, the amount of water extracted from the waste food by the system can be determined. This is one embodiment of how the system can determine or classify the type of food waste. From such calculations, the system can estimate how much weight of food waste can be saved. The food recycling device 1002 can determine, for example, the amount of food extracted from the waste food. The amount of humidity or moisture measured may be included as part of the sensor data transmitted to the server 1024. Visual sensor data, user input data, etc. can be used to correctly classify or sort food waste. can be complementary data that can further increase the probability of characterization.

[0173] Another aspect of detecting the type of waste food placed in the bucket is to measure the amount of waste food placed in the bucket. The detection module 1017 may include detecting waste food. The food recycling equipment can include a lid that lifts to an open position when the food is recycled. The upper portion of the 02 may also include a camera sensor. The system may When a user brings food into the bucket, the food type can start to be evaluated. If the user has half a grapefruit placed in the Hold the piece over the equipment and move it towards placing the grapefruit half in the bucket. When the camera is turned on, the system can begin capturing images of the grapefruit half. The stem allows the user to fill in different sides of the food or rotate the food. The user can even provide feedback and then when the system properly identifies the item A light or an audible beep can be provided to indicate when multiple items are in the bucket. When the sensory system has difficulty characterizing the food in the bucket, e.g. This may be especially useful when combined with grapefruit and chicken bones. If multiple items can be placed in a bucket, the system will Again, the user can also detect if there are items in the bucket. When placing the dish, say "chicken" or "grapefruit" or "soup" at the same time. The data can then be further refined with machine learning algorithms to quickly identify and reduce food waste. Identify.

[0174] In another embodiment, the user may utilize an app on the user device 1022 to For example, a couple can finish their meal and take pictures of their plates. If you're trying to recycle food on your plate, you can view it in the app or via the camera app. The image can be used to classify or characterize the food waste. Other sensory data (humidity, weight, other images) from the food recycling machine 1002 may be used to , other user input, etc.

[0175] In one embodiment, the server 1024 may provide a system for determining whether a user is a member of a group of users, a household, or a group of users. The data may be aggregated and / or anonymous, Advertising entities or other business intelligence data that may be of interest to you For example, restaurant advertisers or grocery store Advertisers may use the data collected from food recycling equipment to To target a specific demographic known for eating large amounts of food, The system may also be capable of utilizing geographic business intelligence. For example, several individuals in a city may be involved in food recycling. When using the device 1002, the system can generate a report of the recycling rate in a given neighborhood or part of a city. It can be seen that the amount of grapefruit killed has increased sharply in the past month. This information can then be used to purchase grapefruit discounts that may be targeted to that geographic area. It may promote advertising campaigns by food stores.

[0176] Another aspect of the present disclosure includes predictive algorithms. Usage may be processed and evaluated for predictive purposes, e.g. advertising, gamification, The notice, or other notice, may be that the amount of grapefruit or chicken being recycled will suddenly increase in the next month. Based on a predictive algorithm, we will determine which users are likely to increase or are expected to increase sharply. Discounts, coupons, rebates, etc. can be offered to customers to Depending on or based on, provide to users on a profile-based, geographical, etc. It is possible.

[0177] Sensor data associated with food waste can be collected online or in-store. You may also receive and coordinate other data about your shopping habits. For example, Users can reconcile their grocery store purchase data to create a comprehensive overview of their purchasing habits. so that they can evaluate their body image and their own waste or recycling habits. Such data may be made available to an app under the device 1022 or to a server 1024. In this regard, a user may purchase a certain amount and type of food, but without prior notice. did not recycle as much food as was estimated or should have occurred. A user may be presented with a report that may help identify facts that In this regard, the system will consider food purchased by households and food recycled by households. and the adequacy of timing or forecasting of recycled food relative to food purchases. The system can provide a user with a report that provides an estimate of the amount of canned food that is being consumed. Fresh products can be considered in comparison with food. Therefore, it is better to use food shopping. Thus, the server 1024 may notify each individual regarding potential additional food recycling that may occur. It can also present a better image for the household.

[0178] Advertisements may also be displayed directly on the user interface 1011 of the food recycling device 1002. The graphical interface may, for example, allow the user to select an offer or a promotion. Touch the iPhone® that can access and accept motions. Such offers and Promotions may be matched with the app on those devices 1022 for fulfillment. can.

The central control operated from server 1024 determines when 10 filters in a particular area need to be replaced. The central control 1024 can control multiple distributed devices 10. In another embodiment, the status data of the devices 100 and 102 can be coordinated and aggregated. The filter 1012 on the second filter 1012 may be removable. For example, a removable filter may be expected to function in eliminating odors from the air for six months. Stem will track air data, the number of cycles used, and food waste processed through multiple cycles. The effectiveness of the filter can be detected based on the amount of moisture extracted from the food waste, etc. The device 1002 can centralize the status of subsystems such as the filter system. The user interface 1011 and the device 10 can report to the server 1024. 22 via an app or user interface on the , provide notifications to users to remind them to change their filters at a specific time, such as every two weeks. In one embodiment, the server 1024 may be a server such as Amazon.com 1026. In cooperation with a merchant site represented by Orders that may be submitted can be pre-ordered or pre-configured. For example, new fills can be If the filter is to be delivered to the user within two weeks, the system 1024 The merchant site 1026 can then communicate with the A user interface is presented that allows easy purchase of necessary filters. The user can then easily verify the purchase via fingerprint. The system accesses user address information so that manual entry is not required for purchases.

The food recycling server 1024 may then receive the food recycling information for a particular group of food recycling devices. Some modifications to the process can be transmitted, which reduces the number of food recycling machines by one cycle. On a geographic basis, it will help the economy use less energy per kilometre. The service level agreement can be evaluated against the average energy cost of a particular cycle. Energy usage is the individual user's ability to sustain a certain energy cost. In another embodiment, for example, a food recycling process is provided in which food is deposited in a bucket. The temperature of the food waste may be adjusted based on the temperature of the food waste. If so, the cycle will consume less energy to heat the food as part of the recycling process. Such modifications to the standard food recycling cycle are not supported by the The network-based server 102 may perform local processing based on the collected data. 4. The final correction of the food recycling process may be controlled remotely from This may be determined to be a collaborative effort and may be coordinated between the two entities.

[0186] The network-based server 1024 is configured to process the food recycling data on each of the plurality of food recycling machines. We search for aggregate data on food waste generated and process this data to identify food that is recycled and the type of food you buy, the amount of energy it takes to recycle a certain amount of food, etc. Both business intelligence reporting that can provide intelligence about In one embodiment, a predictive algorithm may be used, which This includes how individuals, social networking groups, geographic areas, etc. It is possible to predict what types of food are expected to be processed through food recycling equipment. Based on this prediction, the network-based server 1024 may then generate a list of the food recycling options. The system can communicate with specific food recycling devices, such as weather, Considering the day season, events and news, economic conditions, etc., over the next month The more of a particular type of food that is recycled, the more of that particular type of food that is needed. When it is expected that the energy per cycle may be less. The network-based server 1024 prepares the food recycling cycle for anticipated types of food. For example, less food waste, including bones, is expected. In this case, less grinding and shredding is required to process such foods. Similarly, if a larger amount of energy is expected, increased cycles may be required for food recycling. Again, the energy used per cycle - Determining the amount and type of food that is in a given bucket and ready to be recycled This process can also be adjusted based on system or detection or through user input. Using these techniques, the overall system Improve and adapt the amount of energy used per bucket to reduce the number of recycled buckets. This can be more closely aligned with the types of food that are placed in the energy - It can provide an overall improvement in usage.

[0189] FIG. 11B shows a filter 1126 configured within a lid 1132 of a food recycler machine 1120. The lid 1132 is generally configured on top of the bucket 1122. The filter 1126 is ring-shaped, circular, and in one embodiment, is 132. One advantage of positioning the energy filter 1126 in the lid 1132 is that the food recycler machine 1 2A and 2B. is essentially just plastic with no other structural use. Replaceable Filter The lid containing the filter 1126 is provided with an intake opening 1128 to allow air to flow through the filter 1126. The bucket 1122 is reconfigured to receive air from the interior of the bucket 1122 so that the The airflow travels through the filter 1126 and out the exhaust opening 1130 into the atmosphere. A barrier 1134 is provided that can hold the lid in place. The vents have been reconfigured to allow air to flow through them and ultimately out into the atmosphere.

The system has been reconfigured to provide

[0190] Another embodiment of FIG. 11B is a removable filter 1126 that can be used to access and replace the filter 1126. Includes the ability to have opening panels either on the top of the lid or underneath the lid.

[0191] FIG. 11C illustrates a top view of the lid 1132 position within the food recycling device 1120. The bottom 1122 is indicated by an arrow 1128 which represents the airflow from the bucket 1122 to an intake opening 1128. 131, which is an air circulator for processing through an air filter 1126. The filter 1126 is used to induce air flow through the lid. Also shown is a barrier 1132 that can be used to guide or control the flow of light.

[0192] Arrows 1134 generally illustrate the airflow path through the filter and ultimately to the exit port. 1130 and arrow 1133 representing the exit of air to the atmosphere. As can be seen, the air filter 1126 shown in this figure is generally 36, is a pancake shape with slits built into the filter. Other structures within the interior 1124 of the lid 1132 may also be used to provide a replaceable error filter 112. 6. Manage or control the airflow through the interior of the lid within the space that is designed to receive Arrows 1131 and 1133 are generally arranged to Note that this only represents the air flow to the lid and the filtered air flow from the lid. The air circulation system draws air from the bucket 1122 and passes it through a filter to the lid 1128. 1126 and through the exit port 1130. In this manner, the food recycler equipment 1120 may be configured internally.

[0193] In one embodiment, FIG. 11C shows an inlet port 1128 adjacent to an outlet port 1130. However, the positioning of the inlet port 1128 within the outlet port 1130 may be at any position within the lid. For example, the lid 1132 may be provided with an inlet port generally located at the location of the port 1128. 1136, but may have an outlet port 1128 opposite the inlet port 1128. The entire air circulation system provides air at any position on the lid and is filtered. The lid can be adjusted to extract the trapped air from any position. The location of the opening 360 on the side of the food recycler 304 is shown in FIG. A portion of the casing has been removed to show some of the internal structure of the casing. The lid 304 is replaced. In this example, the air intake opening or An air export opening may be configured on the side of the lid, as shown by feature 360. As with other interior air circulation systems, the air ducts are arranged in the lid through such side openings. It may be connected to the mouth.

[0194] FIG. 11D shows another embodiment of an air circulation system. Bucket 1122 is connected to bucket 1140. 1142 to a fan 1148 that is part of the air circulation system 1142. The inheritor filters the air through a filter 1126 and a pattern represented by feature 1134. or through a pathway. 136 is also shown in this embodiment. The outlet port 1130 directs the air to another air duct 1 144, which ultimately directs air 1146 to the food recycler equipment 11 20. As mentioned above, the air intake port in the air export port 1130 The location of 1128 can be anywhere within the lid. These ports are located on the side portions of the lid. In addition, the fan 1141 is preferably configured to rotate the food recycler device 1120 in such a manner that Preferably, the lid and bucket 1122 are configured on the outside. However, other configurations are possible. In this case, a fan 1141 is configured to draw air from the bucket 1122 directly into the lid for filtering. As shown, the air intake opening 1128 may be configured in the lid with the air intake opening 1128 on the underside of the lid. In other words, one opening may be on the side of the lid and on the underside of the lid, and another opening may be on the underside of the lid. For example, the lid configuration may include a lid opening through which the bag can be inserted. The inside of the lid may include a fan structure for drawing air directly from the rear end 1122. The lid can be configured to direct airflow over a sufficient amount of the required filtration material. An outlet port at the top of the lid allows filtered air to exit the food recycling device 1120. In this configuration, one advantage of this approach is that the food Elimination of the need for air circulation systems within other parts of the recycling equipment 1120, which , it may be possible to increase the size of the bucket 1122 to improve efficiency.

[0195] FIG. 11E illustrates another embodiment of the present disclosure, in which a filter configured in a lid is generally a pancake. The lid is in the shape of a lid, but has additional barriers 1152, 1154, 1156, 1158, and 1160. These direct the specific path 1166 of air from the intake port 1162 to the The liquid passes through the filter 1150, around the various respective barriers, and to the exit port 1164. This example shows a barrier that allows a particular air flow to pass through a food recycling facility. This shows how the lid of the vessel 1120 can be designed to allow for air intake. The opening 1162 and the air exit opening 1164 may also be located on the side of the lid or in the The lid in this scenario may also be configured on the top and bottom portions of the path 1. 166, from the inside of the bucket through filter 1150, One or more fans may be configured to draw air outside the cycling device 1120. The pathway 1166 essentially identifies the path of air through a maze. The maze may be configured as a maze in which the object is controlled to move through the maze in the order of

[0196] The above examples of replaceable filters generally consist of a generally pancake shaped filter that fits within a lid. The food may be shaped like a filter, a tea bag, or the like, and placed inside the food recycler machine 1120. FIG. 11F illustrates a filter having a location within the filter receptacle. A filter 1176 is provided to experience a spiral effect on the airflow 1178. This example illustrates another approach shown with the internal parts that can be used. In this scenario, the filter It is not shaped like a pancake, but rather like a stack of pancakes, or more commonly called a ne In this way, the air can be thought of as being shaped like a mountain at one altitude. Air flows into the air intake ports 1172 and spirals around the central structure 1180. It was moved several times and finally port 1174 was placed at a higher elevation than intake port 1172. One advantage of this type of approach is that (see FIG. Air flows over more active carbon material (compared to the assumed path in 11D) The advantage of this is that it is possible to improve the filtering of the air. The construction of the filter 1176 allows some aspects of air path control to be built into the filter itself. The filter may be modified to include a unique barrier between the layers of the filter, such that the filter may be Although the filter shapes described are generally considered to be circular, they may also be square, rectangular, or other shapes. , it can be of any shape, oval, etc.

[0198] In another aspect, the amount of activated carbon in a filter is generally uniformly distributed across the filter. In another aspect, the amount of activated carbon in the filter is hypothesized to be increased along a particularly complex path. For example, the filter 1126 shown in FIG. 28 may have a larger or thicker component near the exit port 1130 The present disclosure includes a method for treating a filter comprising the steps of: The thickness or physical quantity of either up or down along the airflow path through the filter. In one embodiment, for example, the entire filtration system is The device 1120 may include a filter configured in the lid of the device 1120, but also may include a filter configured in the lid of the device 1120 to filter air. A separate filter may be included elsewhere within the food recycling equipment case before it is released into the atmosphere. This may be a requirement if additional filtration is needed to adequately control odors. The method still involves the use of a food recycling device 1120 to increase bucket size. Increasing the available space. In this respect, the overall air circulation system and filtration The food processor has a first shape and processes the first air to provide a first filtered air. The recycling device 1120 may include a first filter configured within a lid thereof.

The valve can therefore be opened to allow external operation. The ports are positioned so that the airflow through the waste medium is consistent with the air inflow. The waste media is positioned to provide air communication to the area below the waste media to create.

[0216] In one embodiment, the bucket 1320 further includes a rotor that can perform a variety of functions. For example, through clockwise rotation, the rotor will rotate the rotor arm blades and the stationary grinding This results in material reduction through shear and pulverization between the agitator arms and the blades of the mixer. The close clearance between the bottom of the container provides cleaning action, and the rotor shape is The waste material rises from the waste stream towards the crusher blades and is subjected to shearing and fine grinding. The swept shape of the blades is such that they provide an optimal mechanical reduction between the rotor and the stationary powder. It is designed to provide a holding and shearing action between the crusher blades. In rotation, the sweeping blade design forces the waste material outward against the bucket wall where it is mixed. The raised protrusions engage with the upper surface of the upper end of the casing. By inducing eddy currents in the water-based material, an upward mixed flow is generated in the water-based material. It is arranged so that

[0217] In one embodiment, the food recycler 1300, through a controller, uses Hall effect position sensors In combination with a stirrer, the motor current can be measured to measure the agitator speed versus current or the motor winding phase delay. This is done to determine the spread of food waste generated by food waste jams between the rotor and the grinder blades. This is performed to determine if a rotor over-torque or rotor stall condition has occurred. The recycler 1300 will stop clockwise rotation of the rotor and will continue until the specified removal cycle is complete. Enter the removal cycle by reversing rotation counterclockwise. Food Recycler 130 If it is not possible for the device to autonomously clear the jam, it will enter a safe shutdown mode. and generate an alarm.

The wedge shape is the top of a solid object that flows into a central fluid vortex that rises vertically from the bottom in a clockwise direction. Counterclockwise rotation provides lift and close tolerance to pot bottom creates cleaning action. In the direction of the arrow, the solids are pushed to the outside of the pot vessel 1310 and along the inside of the pot vessel. Creates a rising column of solids and fluids to facilitate uniform heating of the solution, increasing the temperature within the solution mass. This facilitates injection while minimizing dose variation.

It may contain a middle layer and floating fat, which is generally less dense than water. The temperature of fats can vary from a liquid state above their melting point to a solid state below their melting point. Generally, fats remain less dense than water. The melting points of these fats vary based on their composition. The bottom layer is the waste stream and the middle layer is the desired product later. The top layer is a fat-based waste stream.

[0223] The food recycler 1300, in one embodiment, has a dual-stage recycle mechanism that facilitates the separation of these three layers. The double concentric separator contains two filter plates, the lower filter The metal bar allows the filter mesh plate to act as a plunger / filter. The pot 1310 has a separator that separates solids from the injected solution and deposits the solid waste at the bottom of the pot 1310. The upper filter 1310 is then forced to move to the lower portion of the pot vessel 1310, which is then held in the lower region of the pot vessel 1310. The lower plate is similarly constructed with the addition of an upward facing outer containment ring for containment of solidified fat. The concentric shaft is designed to allow independent movement of the rate filter shaft and the concentric shaft. The shaft is attached to the shaft and both communicate for upward movement.

The operator holds the contents of the feed vessel 1310 at a specified temperature. The liquid is placed in the pot vessel 1310 along with both the upper and lower filter plates. The lower filter plate pushes the solids to the bottom and the second filter The filter plate is placed on top of it. The solution contains fat that undergoes a state change from liquid to solid. The liquid is cooled below its melting point. The operator raises the upper filter plate through the liquid solution. 1310 for disposal. The injected solution product can be poured from the pot vessel 1310 and waste solids can be poured into the bottom filter. Once the extraction of the injected solution product is complete, the waste solids are The material may be transferred to a bucket 1320 for disposal as food waste. The injected solution can be used or kept as disinfected fat for disposal. It is kept and used as food.

[0225] In one aspect, for a drying cycle, the important parameters for the end of the cycle are the waste material The process sensing inputs are on the lid and on the container of the Food Recycler 1300. The controller receives the humidity information from a humidity sensor located in the outbound air stream from the compressor. Therefore, the humidity sensor is used to detect the amount of humidity. The controller can determine whether the drying cycle is complete. For example, The controller evaluates the humidity level within the container and determines if the humidity level falls below the minimum humidity threshold. If the humidity level is below the minimum humidity threshold, the controller may determine that the drying cycle is complete.
