Description

{Apparatus for disposing garbage}

The present invention relates to a food garbage disposal apparatus. More particularly, the present invention relates to a food garbage disposing device which is disposed in a sink drain and crushes and dehydrates food garbage to be introduced, thereby reducing the volume and moisture content of the food garbage, preventing clogging of the sieve by the crushed material, .

Generally, a sink bowl such as a water tank is provided in the sink so that the dishware can be washed or food can be washed, and a drainage device is formed in the sink bowl so that the dishwasher and the food and beverages can be washed and discharged.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a conventional sink drainage apparatus. Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional sink drainage system will be described.

As shown in Fig. 1, there is a sink bowl 10 in which water of a sink can be received. The sink bowl 10 has a drain hole formed at the center of the bottom surface of the sink bowl 10, And a drainage hose 40 connected to the drainage case 20 for discharging the wastewater to the outside is installed in the drainage case 20. Particularly, the squeeze pouring cylinder 30 has a plurality of pouring openings 32 and is mounted detachably from the drainage case 20.

When the user performs the cleaning operation, the wastewater after the washing is discharged to the drain port of the sink bowl 10, and the wastewater is passed through the debris collection chamber 30 mounted inside the drainage case 20, The waste contained in the wastewater can not pass through the drainage opening 32 and is accumulated in the waste squeeze box 30. [

The debris in the sewage is filtered by the debris sump 30 and the debris accumulated for a certain period of time is discarded by the user when the debris sump 30 is detached from the drain case 20.

In such a conventional sink drain apparatus, most of the debris filtered by the debris catching tube 30 contains moisture. Even if the debris catching tube 30 is later detached, moisture contained in the debris may cause bacteria such as mold There is a possibility that an insect such as flies collects together with a bad odor and thus a very filthy environment may be formed and the volume of the residue containing moisture may be large, causing an increase in the amount of waste, resulting in economic loss, There is a problem in that the discharged debris may clog the drain port because it can be discharged through the drainage opening 32 without being filtered by the debris squeezing tube 30.

2 is a view showing a conventional grinding apparatus for food waste for a sink.

2 has a basic structure of a dust collecting apparatus for a sink according to the present invention, which is the same as the above-described drainage apparatus, except that the motor 50 is provided below the drainage case 20 and the motor shaft 50 is provided with a debris- And a cutter 55 is additionally formed through the through hole 30 to form a mixer. When the food waste accumulates in the sump cylinder 30, the motor 50 And the cutter 55 is rotated accordingly, so that the residue can be completely crushed.

However, in the case of the conventional grinding apparatus for food waste for sinks, the grinded food waste clogs the drainage holes 32 to prevent the dehydrated wastewater from being drained smoothly, resulting in deterioration of the dewatering performance and causing malodor .

On the other hand, at the time of reverse rotation, only the sweeper 150 and the cutter 160 are rotated without transmitting the rotational force to the feeder 140, so that the food wastes in the feeder 140 are crushed by the cutter 160.

It is also possible to transmit the rotational force to the filtering net 140 when the clutch 130 rotates in reverse as required and to prevent the rotational force from being transmitted to the filtering net 140 during the forward rotation.

The sieve mesh 140 is formed in a multi-mesh structure having a plurality of holes and is installed inside the dehydrating sieve 120 to receive food waste.

The holes formed in the sieve 140 are not limited to the shapes shown in the drawings and may be configured such that the water introduced together with the food waste or discharged from the food waste during the rotation of the sieve 140 is discharged to the outside of the sieve 140 It may be formed in any shape.

The sweeper 150 is provided with a cleaner 152 contacting the inner surface of the sieve 140 and is rotated to remove sludge from food sludge or food waste that is caught in the sieve 140 and obstructs the discharge of water. .

The sweeper 150 is disposed between the screen 140 and the cutter 160 and rotates by receiving the rotational force from the rotating shaft 110.

The cleaner 152 provided in the sweeper 150 is formed of a rubber material so that when the cleaner 152 rotates in contact with the sieve 140, So that the removal efficiency of the scum can be further improved.

6 is a view showing a sweeper provided with an inclined cleaner and a brush.

As shown in FIG. 6, the cleaner 152 may be provided with a brush 154 at a portion in contact with the filtering wire 140. By providing the brush 154 in this way, it is possible to more efficiently remove the food waste accumulated in the hole of the sieve 140 and also to clean the inner side of the sieve 140, .

In addition, the cleaner 152 may be formed so as to be inclined so as to sweep the food waste accumulated in the holes of the filtering net 140 into the lower portion of the filtering net 140 during rotation. In other words, the cleaner 152 is installed so as to be inclined such that the upper portion of the cleaner 152 is advanced toward the rotating direction of the sweeper 150 as shown in FIG.

The sloped cleaner 152 removes the food waste accumulated in the hole of the sieve 140 during the rotation from the hole, and then the food wastes separated along the inclined cleaner 152 are washed down to the lower side of the sieve 140 And the grinding of food waste is smoothly performed.

In addition, by forming the cleaner 152 to be inclined, it is possible to prevent the cleaner 152 from colliding with the food garbage on the front face during rotation, thereby relieving the impact applied to the cleaner 152.

The apparatus for treating garbage (100) according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention reduces the volume of the garbage by crushing the garbage, dilutes the salt contained in the garbage, and dehydrates the moisture contained in the garbage.
