The present invention deals with a food waste treatment machine and method for controlling same, and more specifically with a food waste treatment machine that dries and treats food waste placed in its drying part under control of its central control part, having a configuration comprising (1) an intake control part that controls the supply of external air to said drying part under control of said central control part; (2) an intake/exhaust circulation part that is intended to supply, circulate, and exhaust air to said drying part; (3) a heat transfer part that heats the air supplied by said intake/exhaust circulation part or heats the external air that has passed through said intake control part; (4) an exhaust control part that controls whether to expel the air expelled from said intake/exhaust circulation part, under control of said central control part; and (5) an air flow induction part that induces the flow direction of air passing through said intake control part, said intake/exhaust circulation part, said heat transfer part, and said exhaust control part. According to the food waste treatment machine and method for controlling same of the present invention, by freely controlling air flow in the food waste treatment machine with the intake control part, exhaust control part, and air circulation control part and streamlining the structure of the air flow induction part, energy losses in the air flow process and the overall working time can be reduced, thus greatly reducing power consumption and, in addition, the backflow of introduced air can be prevented and odor emission can be blocked. In addition, by supplying air to the bottom of the drying part using the intake blow part, the rate of exchange of external air and internal air can be elevated and the time required for this exchange can be reduced, so that drying and operation efficiencies may be greatly improved and power consumption substantially reduced. |
