The present invention relates to an air inhaler of an automatic waste collection system which can control the volume of air discharged according to the quality of input waste to solve stagnation in a transfer pipe caused by the decreased transfer speed of the waste which can open or close an opening/closing valve and an air control plate by one driving member to reduce power consumption and noise generation. In an automatic waste collection system wherein a transfer pipe is installed from an input port for each household or a common indoor/outdoor input port to a waste collection yard to transfer the waste inputted from the input port to the waste collection yard by a vacuum suction force generated in the transfer pipe, an air inhaler to generate the vacuum suction force in the transfer pipe includes: an inlet port to receive outer air; an air discharge pipe made of a tubular body, of which a lower end communicates with the transfer pipe to move the fed air to the transfer pipe; an opening/closing valve disposed in the air discharge pipe moved up and down to open or close the lower end of the air discharge pipe, thus discharging the air to the transfer pipe; and an air control plate installed above the opening/closing valve to be able to rotate in an upward and downward direction connected to the opening/closing valve by a pressing rod such that the air control plate is rotated upwards or downwards in connection with the upward or downward movement of the opening/closing valve to control the discharge volume of air.
