FOOD DISPOSER AND OPERATING METHOD OF THE FOOD DISPOSER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18222018 titled 'FOOD DISPOSER AND OPERATING METHOD OF THE FOOD DISPOSER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a food disposer and a method for operating it. The method involves using a distance sensing module to measure the distance between the module and a by-product stored in a storage container. The module is positioned relative to a cover that seals the upper portion of the container and is spaced apart from a transfer pipe by a certain distance. Based on the measured distance being less than or equal to a critical distance, a notification is generated to indicate the need to empty the by-product from the container.
- The invention is a food disposer with a distance sensing module.
- The distance sensing module measures the distance between it and the by-product stored in a storage container.
- The module is positioned relative to a cover that seals the upper portion of the container.
- The module is spaced apart from a transfer pipe by a certain distance.
- A notification is generated when the measured distance is less than or equal to a critical distance, indicating the need to empty the by-product from the container.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Household food waste management systems
- Commercial food waste disposal systems
- Industrial food processing facilities
Problems solved by this technology:
- Prevents overflow or overfilling of the storage container
- Ensures timely emptying of the by-product to maintain proper functionality of the food disposer
- Reduces the risk of contamination or foul odors from the stored by-product
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved efficiency in managing food waste
- Prevents potential damage or malfunction of the food disposer
- Enhances hygiene and cleanliness in food waste disposal processes
Original Abstract Submitted
A food disposer and an operating method of a food disposer. The method includes measuring a distance from a distance sensing module to a by-product stored in a storage container, through the distance sensing module, which is arrangeable relative to a cover that seals an upper portion of the storage container and spaced apart from a transfer pipe by a certain distance, and outputting a notification related to emptying of the by-product from the storage container based on the measured distance being less than or equal to a critical distance.
