FOOD WASTE DISPOSER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240342775 titled 'FOOD WASTE DISPOSER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR

The abstract describes a food waste disposer with a chamber for food disposal, a deodorization device, and a cover member with a fan for generating convection currents inside the chamber.

• The cover member includes a fan facing the chamber to create convection currents.
• A discharge pipe with a discharge port outside the airflow path bypasses the fan.
• The second end of the discharge pipe is connected to the deodorization device.

Potential Applications: - Household kitchens - Restaurants - Food processing facilities

Problems Solved: - Odor control in food waste disposal - Efficient waste management

Benefits: - Reduced odors - Improved hygiene - Enhanced waste disposal efficiency

Commercial Applications: - Kitchen appliance industry - Waste management companies - Food service industry

Questions about the Food Waste Disposer: 1. How does the deodorization device work to eliminate odors effectively?

  The deodorization device likely uses filters or chemical agents to neutralize odors before releasing air outside.

2. What are the potential energy savings from the convection currents generated by the fan?

  The convection currents may help reduce the energy required for odor control and waste disposal processes.

Original Abstract Submitted

a food waste disposer comprising a chamber for accommodating food for disposal; a deodorization device for deodorizing gas and discharging same to the outside; and a cover member for covering the chamber. the cover member includes a fan, which is arranged to face the inside of the chamber so as to generate, when being driven, a convection current inside the chamber; and a discharge pipe arranged such that a discharge port formed at a first end portion is arranged on outside a path of upward flow of air such that the upward flow of air bypasses the fan, and a second end portion, which is opposite to the first end portion, is connected to the deodorization device.
