Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a garbage storage device installed in a kitchen or the like and used to store garbage and other odor-generating substances.

Conventional Structures and Problems Generally, cooking scraps are generated in kitchens, etc., and it is desired to store them in a manner that does not spoil the beauty of the kitchen, etc., or emit bad odors.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a conventional garbage storage device. This garbage storage device has a structure in which a garbage container 2 is installed inside a kitchen furniture 1. Specifically, the garbage container 2 is installed inside a door 3. When it is fixed and door 3 is opened,
An operating string 4, one end of which is fixed inside the kitchen furniture 1, is designed to pull open the lid 5 of the garbage container 2 and use it to throw in garbage.

In this configuration, the garbage container 2 is the kitchen furniture 1.
Since it is housed inside, it has the advantage of not spoiling the aesthetics of the kitchen, but there is the problem that odors flow into the room when the door is opened and closed. For this reason, it has been considered to install a fan device for forcibly exhausting the air and install an exhaust pipe to exhaust the odor, but providing the exhaust pipe would complicate the construction and is not preferable.

Keeping these points in mind, the inventors of the present invention drained the odor from the garbage storage area into the drain pipe attached to the house,
It has been considered to exhaust the air through the drain pipe.
However, when the drain pipe is used for exhaust, a problem arises in that water flows back into the garbage container due to blockage of the drain pipe.

Purpose of the invention The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problem, and its purpose is to prevent backflow from entering the garbage storage section in a garbage storage device that uses a drain pipe to exhaust odors. It is something to do.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a storage device for garbage, etc., in which a storage container can be put in and taken out from the storage cabinet, and a fan device for forcibly exhausting the odor inside the storage cabinet is provided, and the odor extracted from the fan device is provided. The odor removal pipe is connected to a drain pipe attached to the house, a water sensor for detecting water is provided in the odor removal pipe, and a solenoid valve that is activated by a signal from the water sensor is provided in the odor removal pipe, Odors are discharged through drain pipes into sewers, etc., preventing them from entering rooms such as the kitchen.
In addition to being easy to construct, it also prevents backflow water from entering the fan device and garbage storage area.
Safety is ensured.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

In the figure, 6 is a sink installed in a room such as a kitchen, and the water in the tank 7 is drained to an outdoor sewer 10 via a drain trap 8 and a drain pipe 9 connected to the bottom of the tank 7. It's getting old. The sink 6 has a cabinet configuration and has a door 11 on its front surface, and behind the door 11 is provided a garbage container 12 which can be tilted forward using the front end of the lower part as a fulcrum and has an open top. A fan device 13 is installed inside the sink 6 and above the waste container 12. This fan device 13
The main component is the fan 14, and its intake port 15
is provided corresponding to the upper opening of the waste container 12. Further, an odor removal pipe 16 is led out from the exhaust part, and the end of this odor removal pipe 16 is connected to the side of the drain pipe 9, so that the odor is discharged through the drain pipe 9. .

A water sensor 17 is provided in the odor removal pipe 16, and an electromagnetic valve 18 is provided at the entrance of the odor removal pipe 16, which is closed in response to a water detection signal from the water sensor 17. The fan device 13 is energized by a switch 19 that is turned on when the door 11 is opened, so that when the door 11 is opened, the fan device 13 is forced to exhaust air.

In the above configuration, when the door 11 is opened, the switch 19 is turned on, and the fan 14 is operated to force the waste odor to be discharged from the odor removal pipe 16 through the drain pipe 9 to the sewer 10. Therefore, almost no odor flows into the room when the door is opened. Note that a manual switch may be provided so that the fan 14 can be operated even when the door 11 is closed.

If the drain pipe 9 becomes clogged for some reason and the waste water flows backwards and enters the odor extraction pipe 16, the water sensor 17 detects this and the electromagnetic valve 18 immediately closes. Therefore, water does not enter the fan device 13 and the garbage storage section, and safety can be ensured.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, the present invention is capable of protecting the fan device and the garbage storage area from backflow water in a garbage storage device that uses a drain pipe to remove odors. This is a garbage storage device that uses a drain pipe to remove odors, and has a great practical effect.

In the embodiment, the drain pipe is a sink drain pipe, but it may also be a sink drain pipe.
