Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention mainly relates to deodorizing treatment of garbage generated in the kitchen, particularly in the kitchen area.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, the kitchen in the home has come to be positioned as the center of household activities, and efforts have been made to introduce various automatic equipment, systemize each equipment, and integrate it with the living room.

Various improvements have been made to the equipment to make it more convenient, but the food waste generated during cooking is not only time-consuming to dispose of, but also comes with the problem of odors, and there are many ways to deal with it. For example, deodorization by spraying chemicals,
Deodorized by drying.

Measures such as deodorization by filtration using an adsorbent such as activated carbon and sealing by wrapping with a vinyl membrane have been adopted.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, the conventional garbage deodorization treatments described above each have the following problems.

B. Treatment by spraying deodorizing chemicals The deodorizing agent itself is based on an aromatic agent, and it only compounds the bad odor.

Deodorization by drying the mouth Heating must be used as a source of complete drying, and the generation of bad odors increases during the heating process.

C. Filtration using an adsorbent such as activated carbon is too expensive to replenish as a long-term solution.

Second, sealing by wrapping with vinyl film is not only time-consuming, but also requires opening up some of the accumulated garbage, which dissipates bad odors in the process.

In any case, conventional deodorization of kitchens and household kitchen equipment lacks simplicity and practicality.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to be able to easily dispose of food waste generated in the kitchen in a state most suitable for the form.
The objective is to establish a deodorizing treatment for food waste that is fully compatible with the systemization of equipment and does not cause any discomfort when integrated with the living room.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides that the amount of food waste generated each time cooking is done in a home kitchen is relatively small, and furthermore, waste can be disposed of outside the kitchen only when a sufficient amount has accumulated. It is done by storing it in a sealing material,
Furthermore, in system kitchens, the food waste generated is preliminary dehydrated before being disposed of, which corresponds to the reality of food waste disposal.

In other words, as in the case of food waste storage equipment in household kitchen equipment, even if food waste stored in a certain size space is partially covered with an impermeable membrane, it is sufficient to eliminate odor. In particular, when a relatively small amount of food waste is stacked and deposited, as in the case of the household food waste mentioned above, a relatively small amount of film can be formed in each layer. It was completed based on the idea that most odors can be prevented from being emitted.

The film-forming agent for food waste of the present invention does not necessarily need to have adhesion to food waste with residual moisture, and the dispersing agent itself is based on a synthetic resin material that has excellent spreadability and film-forming properties. Used as a material.

Synthetic resin materials with such properties include phenolic resin, maleic resin, and alkyd resin.

There are urea resins, vinyl resins, acrylic resins, and polyester resins, and vinyl resins are particularly excellent in terms of safety and film-forming ability.

Furthermore, a bactericide is added to the film forming agent for such synthetic resin material.

The disinfectant is preferably one that has good compatibility with the vinyl resin, and since it will be used at home, one that is harmless to humans and animals is desirable. There have been many components that meet these conditions, and they can be used in combination.

For example, instant-acting ingredients include phytoncide, which is a plant extract, and green tea extract. In addition, long-lasting ingredients include enzymes, bacteria, surfactants, parabens, phenols, and cationic compounds.

Furthermore, the deodorizing film forming agent of the present invention may contain aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aromatic hydrocarbons, It can be used as a solution spray in water, etc., and for system kitchens, it is placed in a regular can-shaped storage container, which is then installed as a separate container at a designated location in the system kitchen, and automatically operated by an automatic operating device. A film of the coating material can be formed on garbage at the required time and for the required time.

Furthermore, the film-forming agent is not only used as a deodorizing material exclusively for home kitchens, but also can be stored as a general spray material and used as a packaging material for general small items.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained by taking as an example a garbage disposal device for a sink shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic longitudinal cross-sectional view of a garbage disposal device integrated into the underside of the sink of a sink.

A part of the upper end of the garbage disposal device is fixed through the bottom wall of a sink S of a sink, and a compression chamber 1 and a recovery chamber 2 each having a rectangular cross section are arranged so that their respective axes are substantially vertical. We are prepared. These chambers 1
．． 2 are in communication with each other by a communication chamber 3 provided at the upper end of each.

Inside the compression chamber 1, an actuator 4a is moved up and down by a cylinder device 4 provided outside, and a slit plate 4b is attached to the upper end of the actuator 4a to squeeze out water when the garbage is compressed. This slit plate 4b has a large number of small holes, through which water in the garbage can be discharged to the lower part of the compression chamber 1. A drainage bend 1b is provided on the bottom peripheral wall of the compression chamber 1, with a drainage mesh 1a stretched over the entrance. This bend 1b is connected to a drain pipe (not shown) or the like connected to the sink S, and discharges only water from the garbage to the outside. Note that the cylinder device 4 is a small-sized device that utilizes a screw gear mechanism or the like.

A carrier 5 is arranged on the side of the communication chamber 3 for reciprocating the opening of the compression chamber 1 and the recovery chamber 2. This carrier 5 is movable in the horizontal direction by a cylinder device 6 using a multistage solenoid or the like provided externally, and has a bore 5a that is approximately equal to the inner diameter of the compression chamber 1.
was formed. Furthermore, a food waste inlet 3a facing the bottom wall of the sink A is provided at the upper part of the communication chamber 3, and a lid 3b for closing this is removably provided.

Furthermore, a communication chamber 3 located above the recovery chamber 2
is provided with a pusher 7 for dropping the solid waste filled in the bore 5a of the carrier 5 into the collection chamber 2.

This bushing 7 is linked to the actuator 4a on the cylinder device 4 side by a connecting rod 8, and moves in the same direction and with the same stroke as the actuator 4a.

The bushing 7 has an outer diameter large enough to fit into the bore 5a of the carrier 5, and is equipped with a spraying device 10 for spraying the film forming agent onto the collected solid waste. This spraying device 10 has a structure that has a spraying function for spraying a liquid, and sprays a film forming agent mainly composed of a vinyl resin emulsion into the recovery chamber 2.

The collection chamber 2 receives the solid waste dropped by the shovel 7, stores it, and puts it in a plastic bag V for collection.
It is used to collect garbage by being equipped with a. Further, the collection chamber 2 has a container 2a forming the entire collection chamber 2 removably attached to the lower surface of the communication chamber 3 above. The plastic bag V is attached with the upper end of the container 2a as a support point, and a commercially available product can be used as is.

Further, the cylinder devices 4 and 6 are operated by an operation panel (not shown). A control system is provided so that everything from the compression process to the conveyance by the carrier 5, etc. can be linked to automatically perform the discharge of solid waste into the plastic bag V. Also,
The injection of the film forming agent by the injection device 10 is performed automatically when solid waste is collected, and can also be operated manually if necessary.

In the above configuration, processing of garbage proceeds in the order shown in FIGS. 1 to 4. That is, in FIG. 1, the lid 3b is opened, garbage is thrown in through the inlet 3a, and the lid 3b is closed again. Note that it is preferable to provide a simple locking mechanism so that the lid 3b does not fall off.

Next, when the switch on the operation panel is turned on, the cylinder device 4
is activated, and the actuator 4a moves up within the compression chamber 1 as shown in FIG. At this time, the bushing 7 connected to the actuator 4a by the connecting rod 8 also rises at the same time. As the actuator 4a rises, the slit plate 4b moves while pushing up the input garbage, and pushes the garbage into the space defined by the upper inner wall of the communication chamber 3 and the bore 5a of the carrier 5. . The stroke of the slit plate 4b changes so that an appropriate amount of compression can be obtained depending on the amount and type of garbage.

In the above-described process of compressing food waste using the slit plate 4b, the moisture contained in the food waste is pushed out through the small holes of the slit plate 4b and is discharged from the draining mesh 2. la
The water is then discharged from the bend 1b to the drain pipe.

After the compression process, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper end level of the slit plate 4b is lowered to a position aligned with the lower surface of the carrier 5. In other words, during compression, the sleeve) 4b is the bore 5a.
Since the carrier 5 has entered the inside of the bore 5a, it is lowered from the inside of the bore 5a and set so that the carrier 5 can be moved horizontally. At this time, the lower surface of the bushing 7 also touches the carrier 5.
It is set at a position above or equal to the upper inner wall of the communication chamber 3 so as not to interfere with the movement of the communication chamber 3. After this state is secured, the cylinder device 6 is activated and the carrier 5 is moved to the recovery chamber 2 side. Due to this movement, the solidified dirt filled in the bore 5a is directly brought to the upper part of the collection chamber 2.

Next, the cylinder device 4 is actuated to actuate the actuator 4a.
is lowered, and the bushing 7, which is interlocked with this by the connecting rod 8, is lowered as shown in FIG. Therefore, the bushing 7 knocks off the garbage filled in the bore 5a and collects the garbage A into the plastic bag V in the collection channel <2. Then, the cylinder device 4 is connected to the actuator 4 again.
a to raise the bushing 7 to the state shown in FIG. As a result, interference between the bushing 7 and the carrier 5 is eliminated, and the cylinder device 6 is operated to return the carrier 5 to its original position as shown in FIG.

After the above operations, the actuator 4a is lowered by the cylinder device 4 to return the slit plate 4b and bushing 7 to their original positions as shown in FIG. . And supply pipe 7a
Deodorizing and disinfecting agent is sprayed from the garbage A to prevent the solidified garbage A from producing abnormal odors and decomposing. Note that the slit plate 4b
As the draining mesh 1a rises and falls, the garbage adhering to the draining mesh 1a is scraped off.

On the other hand, regarding the solid waste A dropped into the plastic bag V,
An appropriate amount of film forming agent is sprayed from the spray device 10. By this injection, as shown in Fig. 4, solid waste A
A deodorizing film F-1 made of a film forming agent is formed on the surface of the solid waste A, and almost the entire upper surface of the solid waste A is covered. Therefore, the surface area from which the odor from the collected solid waste A is emitted can be reduced.

Further, new food waste is put into the compression chamber 1 and processed in the same manner as above to drop the solid waste B into the plastic bag V, after which the film forming agent is similarly injected from the injection device 10. By this operation, a new deodorizing film F-2 is formed on the surface of the solid waste B, and the emission of foreign odors is similarly prevented. Since this new deodorizing film F-2 is laminated on the deodorizing film F-1 used in the previous treatment, it is possible to further reliably suppress the release of foreign odors from the solid waste A in the lower part. In this manner, new deodorizing films F-3 and F-4 are obtained by spraying the film forming agent from the spray device 10 on the solid wastes C and D that are sequentially thrown in, and the cooking process The food waste generated is compressed and dehydrated and coated with a film-forming agent, making it possible to completely seal the food waste.

When the plastic bag V is filled with garbage, open the kitchen cabinet door (not shown), remove the container 2a, replace the plastic bag 2 with a new one, and reattach the container 2a to the predetermined position.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The garbage deodorizing treatment of the present invention can produce the following effects.

B. By automatically spraying a solution mainly consisting of a film-forming agent, garbage can be easily deodorized and sterilized.

Do not cover the entire surface of the food waste that has been processed and collected.
Automatic spraying of the film forming agent does not need to be performed as accurately as shown in the image above, and the degree of freedom in device design increases.

C. Every time food waste is generated, the surface is coated with a film-forming agent, so after multiple treatments, the film surfaces are laminated, completely suppressing odor from the lumps of food waste at the bottom. It is possible to accumulate a relatively large amount of food waste.

2. When taking out vinyl from the storage container, the film surface formed on the top surface of the garbage makes it difficult to see the garbage directly, increasing the sense of hygiene.
