The present invention relates to a kitchen waste processor and method for processing kitchen waste so as to transfer kitchen waste into fertilizer.
Generally, kitchen waste are conventionally put in containers in the back alley, and the city waste collector agents collect these containers to be further processed. However, the containers usually generate odors and attract rats. Actually, the kitchen waste is more valuable than people realized, the present invention intends to provide a kitchen waste processor and a method for processing kitchen waste so as to transfer kitchen waste into fertilizer.
The present invention relates to a kitchen waste processor and comprises a base including a basket with an open top, and a heater is located in the basket. A driver is connected to the underside of the basket. A first connector is connected to the driver which rotates the first connector. A support is pivotably connected to outside of the basket of the base. A container is located in the basket and protrudes beyond the open top of the basket. A second connector is connected to the underside of the container and connected to the first connector. A cover has a hole defined centrally therethrough, and a seal is located within the hole. A vacuum suction pipe or a blade shaft extends through the hole. A locking device is located between the container and the cover to seal the cover to the container. The container receives kitchen waste and bacteria therein. The heater heats the container and the driver spins the container so that the kitchen waste in the container is fermented under high temperature to transfer the kitchen waste into fertilizer.
Preferably, a vacuum deodorizer is connected to the vacuum suction pipe, and the vacuum deodorizer is connected to a check valve, a steam separator, a filter, a cooler, a vacuum pump and a mixer.
Preferably, the mixer receives bamboo charcoal and bamboo vinegar therein.
Preferably, a grinder is connected to the blade shaft.
Preferably, the heater heats the container by electro-magnetic microwave.
Preferably, the locking device includes a handle and two lugs. The handle is connected to the cover, and the two lugs are formed to the open top of the container. Each lug includes a notch. The handle includes two eccentric parts on two ends thereof. The two eccentric parts are respectively engaged with the notches of the lugs.
The present invention provides a method for processing kitchen waste, and the method comprises the following steps:
a step of adding kitchen waste and bacteria: adding kitchen waste and bacteria in a container;
a step of covering: covering the container by a cover which includes a hole defined centrally therethrough, a seal located within the hole, a vacuum suction pipe or a blade shaft extending through the hole;
a step of grinding: grinding the kitchen waste by a grinder which is connected to the blade shaft;
a step of odors removal: connecting a vacuum deodorizer with the vacuum sucking pipe, and sucking odors away from the container by the vacuum deodorizer, and
a step of heating and spinning: putting the container in a basket which includes a heater and a driver, the container being heated while spinning to ferment the kitchen waste, and transferring the kitchen waste into fertilizer.
Preferably, the vacuum deodorizer is connected to a check valve, a steam separator, a filter, a cooler, a vacuum pump and a mixer in series.
Preferably, the vacuum deodorizer includes a mixer which receives bamboo charcoal and bamboo vinegar therein.
The advantages of the present invention are that the kitchen waste is ground in the processor and is added with bacteria under high temperature in a vacuum circumstance while the container spins. The kitchen waste in the container is fermented under high temperature to transfer the kitchen waste into fertilizer.
The method of the present invention separates steam and moisture from the processed and fermented kitchen waste, and the processed and fermented kitchen waste is filtered and cooled to prevent from attracting rats or the like.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to
As shown in
The support 2 is a U-shaped frame and pivotably connected to outside of the basket 11 of the base 1 so as to support the kitchen waste processor “A”. As shown in

As shown in
As shown in
The container 3 receives kitchen waste and bacteria therein, and the kitchen waste is ground by the grinder 7. The grinder 7 is removed, and the vacuum suction pipe 61 of the vacuum deodorizer 6 is connected to the kitchen waste processor “A”. The heater 12 heats the container 3 and the driver 13 spins the container 3 so that the kitchen waste in the container 3 is fermented under high temperature to transfer the kitchen waste into fertilizer.
As shown in
a step 81 of adding kitchen waste and bacteria: adding kitchen waste and bacteria in a container 3;
a step 82 of covering: covering the container 3 by a cover 4 which includes a hole 41 defined centrally therethrough, a seal 42 located within the hole 41, a vacuum suction pipe 61 or a blade shaft 72 extending through the hole 41;
a step 83 of grinding: grinding the kitchen waste by a grinder 7 which is connected to the blade shaft 72;
a step 84 of odors removal: connecting a vacuum deodorizer 6 with the vacuum sucking pipe 61, and sucking odor away from the container 3 by the vacuum deodorizer 6, and
a step 85 of heating and spinning: putting the container 3 in a basket 11 which includes a heater 12 and a driver 13, the container 3 being heated while spinning to ferment the kitchen waste, and transferring the kitchen waste into fertilizer.
The vacuum deodorizer 6 is connected to a check valve 62, a steam separator 63, a filter 64, a cooler 65, a vacuum pump 66 and a mixer 67 in series. The vacuum deodorizer 6 includes a mixer 67 which receives bamboo charcoal and bamboo vinegar therein.
While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
