Food disposal apparatus

Abstract

An embodiment disclosed herein provides a food disposal apparatus comprising: an inlet cover covering an inlet; an input unit which is seated inside the inlet and includes a cover guide for guiding the inlet cover; a solid-liquid separation unit which receives food from the inlet, separates liquid from the food, and drops the solid food downwards; and a decomposition unit which is disposed below the solid-liquid separation unit and includes a stirring module for stirring and mixing, with microorganisms, the food that is dropped, wherein the solid-liquid separation unit and the decomposition unit start operating when the inlet cover rotates on the cover guide. Therefore, the presence of the cover can be recognized by placing the cover on the corresponding inlet in any direction without any particular attentiveness of the part of the user. In addition, a display unit for communicating the current state is arranged in the inlet and can thus warn a user of a malfunction or notify the user of the current state.
