FOOD WASTE DISPOSER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240091785 titled 'FOOD WASTE DISPOSER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a food waste disposer with a sterilization device that can generate and supply plasma to the exhaust pipe, improving the overall cleanliness and efficiency of the device.
- The food waste disposer includes a housing, a grinding device, an exhaust fan, an exhaust pipe, a filter assembly, a branch pipe, and a sterilization device.
- The exhaust fan creates an air flow within the housing, which is used to transport air from the grinding device through the exhaust flow path.
- The filter assembly adsorbs contaminants from the air flowing along the exhaust flow path.
- The branch pipe connects to the exhaust pipe and the sterilization device, allowing the sterilization device to supply plasma to the exhaust pipe when the connection flow path is open.
- The sterilization device selectively opens and closes the connection flow path, ensuring the plasma is only supplied when needed.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in residential or commercial kitchens to efficiently dispose of food waste while maintaining a clean and sanitized environment.
Problems Solved
This innovation solves the problem of odors and contaminants being released during the food waste disposal process, as well as the need for manual cleaning and maintenance of the disposer.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved cleanliness, reduced odors, and increased efficiency in food waste disposal.
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology could be applied in kitchen appliance manufacturing, waste management systems, and sanitation equipment industries.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include food waste disposers with filtration systems or sterilization devices, but the specific combination of features described in this patent application may be unique.
Unanswered Questions
How does the sterilization device determine when to supply plasma to the exhaust pipe?
The patent application does not provide details on the specific mechanism or sensor used by the sterilization device to determine when to open the connection flow path and supply plasma.
What is the expected lifespan of the filter assembly in this food waste disposer?
The patent application does not mention the expected lifespan of the filter assembly or provide information on how often it needs to be replaced or cleaned.
Original Abstract Submitted
a food waste disposer including a housing; a grinding device inside the housing to grind food waste; an exhaust fan inside the housing to form an air flow; an exhaust pipe connected to the exhaust fan to form an exhaust flow path along which air from the grinding device flows via the air flow formed by the exhaust fan; a filter assembly to adsorb contaminants from the air flowing along the exhaust flow path; a branch pipe branching from the exhaust pipe between the grinding device and the exhaust fan to form a connection flow path communicating with the exhaust flow path; and a sterilization device connected to the branch pipe to selectively open and close the connection flow path, and, with the connection flow path being open, generate and supply plasma to the exhaust pipe through the connection flow path via an intake airflow formed by the exhaust fan.
