Abstract

A food waste disposer commonly used in restaurants or homes is a type of machine with an agitator attached. The food waste disposer of the crushing type has a problem that the agitator may be broken if the piping or decomposition filter is blocked. In addition, there is an inconvenience that the user must manually open the cover to check the level in the food waste disposer. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a device that combines basic IoT technology with food waste disposer. The proposed device additionally designs and implement a real-time monitor processor and an automatic control processor inside the existing food waste disposer. The proposed food waste disposer allows the user to monitor the inside of the device using the smartphone. In addition, when the food is filled up to a certain position in the food waste disposer, it automatically stops and alarms. Using the proposed system, the user can conveniently check the inside of the food waste disposer, which has the advantage of preventing malfunctions in advance and reducing the probability of malfunction.

식당이나 가정에서 보편적으로 사용되는 음식물 처리기는 분쇄기가 부착된 형태의 장치이다. 분쇄 방식의 음식물 처리기는 배관이나 분해 필터 등이 막히면 교반기가 파손될 수 있는 문제가 발생된다. 아울러 사용자가 음식물 처리기 내의 수위를 확인하려면 직접 뚜껑을 열어 확인해야 하는 불편함이 생긴다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해 이 논문에서는 분쇄방식의 음식물 처리기에 기본적인 IoT 기술을 접목한 장치를 제안한다. 제안 장치는 기존의 음식물 처리기에 실시간 모니터 처리기와 자동 제어 처리기를 추가로 설계 및 구현한다. 제안한 음식물 처리장치는 사용자가 스마트폰을 활용해서 장치의 내부를 모니터링 할 수 있게 한다. 또한 음식물 처리기 내부의 일정한 위치까지 음식물이 채워지면 자동으로 작동이 멈추고 알람을 준다. 제안 시스템을 활용하면 사용자가 음식물 처리기 내부를 편리하게 확인할 수 있으므로 고장을 미리 방지하여 오작동 확률을 낮출 수 있는 장점을 가진다.
