JPH01181604A - Kitchen refuse storage chest - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve handling convenience, and to prevent the half-opening of a door, in a refrigerator-equipped domestic or the like kitchen storage chest, by fitting a kitchen refuse storage vessel on the back side of a drawer type door, and by providing roller-fitted steppedly sloped rails on both side surfaces of the door, and stepped guide rails analogous to the above on both inner surfaces of the body respectively. CONSTITUTION:The inside of a refuse storage chest body 9 is cooled by a refrigerator 22. When a door 10 is drawn out, rollers 15 roll on guide rails 20, and a kitchen refuse storage vessel 12 is drawn out to the outward from the body so as to be elevated by a sloped part 18, thus it stops in such a position as the throwing-in of refuse can be facilitated. Then, when the door 10 is pushed into the storage chest, the rails 19 of the door move along the guide rails 20. And in its halfway, since it descends at the sloped part 18, the door 10 moves automatically to the closing direction to close the opening. Accordingly, the door is prevented from being left in such a condition as it is half-opened. Thus, handling convenience can be improved, and the closing of the door can be securely accomplished.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a kitchen waste storage provided with a refrigerator.

Conventional Technology Conventionally, in places where food waste is generated, such as in restaurants and kitchens of ordinary households, kitchen waste storage areas have been installed with deodorizers and aromatics to prevent the smell of putrefaction. 1977
A refrigerator for kitchen waste was used as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 141901, so as not to be bothered by bad odors.

The conventional kitchen waste storage as described above will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a conventional kitchen waste storage.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a main body of the kitchen waste storage, and a door 3 is provided via a hinge 2 so that the door 3 can be opened and closed. The main body 1 includes a cooling compressor 4 and a cooler 6.
The interior 6 of the refrigerator is cooled. Further, inside e is provided with a kitchen waste storage container 8 for storing raw garbage 7.

The kitchen waste storage constructed as described above will be explained below.

Food waste 7 generated during cooking or leftover food in the kitchens of restaurants and households tends to decompose and generate bad odors in hot and humid environments like Japan. Therefore, to prevent further decomposition, the garbage 7 is stored in a kitchen waste storage container 8, refrigerated in the interior 6 of the main body 1, and kept in a low temperature and dry state until the garbage collection day by a public organization or the like.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above configuration, when storing raw garbage, the door and the garbage storage container are separate, so it is necessary to open the main body door and then take out the garbage storage container inside the refrigerator. must be done,
In addition, the main body is low and requires bending over to use the device, making it difficult to use, and if the door is not completely closed, the room will be filled with the foul smell of garbage.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it improves usability when storing food waste, automatically closes the door when it reaches a certain position, and prevents bad odors due to the door being left ajar. The present invention provides a kitchen waste storage container.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the kitchen waste storage of the present invention includes:
A kitchen waste storage container with an open top for storing food waste is attached to the door back of the door, and tip and middle rollers are installed on both sides of the door and are driven when the door is opened and closed. A pull-out stepped rail is installed that is high at the front and low at the back, and has a sloped section near the center. Moreover, the structure includes stepped guide rails fixed to the main body as guides so as to face the shape of the stepped rails, and the rollers of the stepped rails are inserted into the tips of both sides of the main body.

Function The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and by pulling out the door when storing food waste, the 21ffi can be placed on the step of the stepped rail.
Also, the kitchen waste storage container integrated therewith is raised, and food waste can be stored in an easy position, improving usability. In addition, when the door reaches the slope of the stepped rail when it is pulled and closed, the roller rolls down the slope, automatically closing the door and ensuring that no odor is generated due to the door being left ajar. can be shut off.

EXAMPLE An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

Reference numeral 9 denotes the main body of the kitchen waste storage, and a kitchen waste storage container 12 having an open top surface is detachably attached to the door back 11 side of the door 10. On both sides of the door 10, there are tip portions 1a.
A roller 16 is installed at the middle part 14, and the front part 16, which is driven when the slo is opened and closed, is high and the back part 17 is low, and a pull-out stepped rail 19 with an inclined part 18 is attached near the center part. There is. In addition, stepped guide trays A/20 are provided on both sides of the main body, with the roller 16 of the stepped seam 1v19 inserted into the tip thereof and fixed to the main body as a guide so as to face the shape of the stepped seam. The door 10 is attached so as to be openable and closable in the front and rear directions. Note that when the door 10 is opened or closed, the door 1o moves up and down by the difference in level of the stepped rail 19.

On the other hand, the inside of the refrigerator 21 is cooled to at least 0 degrees Celsius or lower by freezing-2.

The function of the kitchen waste storage constructed as described above will be explained below.

The inside of the main body 9 is cooled to at least 0 degrees Celsius or lower (preferably -18 degrees Celsius or lower). First, when storing raw garbage 7 generated in a restaurant or a general household kitchen in the kitchen waste storage 9, Jlilo is opened. A kitchen waste storage container 12 is attached to the inside of the door 1o, and the opening thereof is located on the top surface, and the door 10 and the kitchen waste storage container 12 rise when the door 10 is opened, making storage easy. Splashes of water from the garbage 7 do not stick to the inner wall of the chamber 21, making it sanitary. The inside of the refrigerator 21 is maintained at 0 degrees Celsius or lower by a refrigerator 22. On the other hand, when the door 10 is closed, when the stepped rail 19 reaches the end of the slope 18, the roller 16 of the stepped sheath A/19 rolls down the slope two times, automatically closing the door 10. Since the door 1o is closed, the door 1o is prevented from being half-opened, and the inside and outside of the refrigerator are reliably sealed. Therefore, while the food waste 7 is stored in the refrigerator interior 21, decomposition does not progress and the water content freezes, so that the room is less likely to be filled with bad odor due to leakage of juice.

Therefore, when the food waste 7 is stored in the interior 21 of the kitchen waste storage 9, it freezes and its decomposition does not progress. In addition, since the entire door 10 is raised when the door 10 is pulled out, the garbage 7 can be stored in an easy position, and when it comes to a certain position,
Since the door 1o closes automatically, the door 10 can be securely closed.

It is generally known that the freezing temperature of a substance is affected by its molar concentration, and that a substance with a high molar concentration has a lower freezing temperature (freezing point). Therefore, the temperature inside the refrigerator 21 is preferably -18 degrees Celsius or lower.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention stores food waste in a food waste storage container that is attached to the inside of the door of a food waste storage room whose interior is cooled to below 0 degrees Celsius, and whose top surface is open. Freezes up and prevents the decomposition that causes bad odors.In addition, by opening and closing the door with stepped rails, it is easier to store food waste, and when the door reaches a certain position, it automatically opens and closes. To provide a kitchen waste storage that can be closed and prevent bad odors by opening the door ajar.
