JPH01181606A - Kitchen refuse storage chest - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the exhalation of malodor at the time of raw refuse throwing-in and the soaking of malodor into the frost inside a chest, in a refrigerator-equipped domestic or the like kitchen refuse storage chest, by providing a drawer type door to the refrigerator-equipped body, and detachably fitting a raw refuse vessel on the inside of the chest door, and further providing a cover capable of being freely opened or closed to the vessel. CONSTITUTION:The inside 12 of a chest is cooled by a refrigerator 17 to prevent decay. when a door 11 is pulled out, the door 11 accompanied with a kitchen refuse storage vessel 13 is drawn out along a guide rail 10, and the vessel 13 is placed in the kitchen refuse throwing-in position. And a cover 14 is opened for throwing in kitchen refuse, and then it is again closed. Accordingly, the opening time of the opening of the vessel 13 can be shortened to prevent the exhalation of malodor. And further, since the cover is closed, even after the vessel 13 has been housed inside the chest, the exhalation of malodor inside the chest can be prevented, and also the soaking of malodor into the dew water at the time of defrosting can be prevented. Thus, by this constitution, the exhalation of malodor can be prevented.

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 inside 6 of the refrigerator is cooled. The interior 6 is also provided with a kitchen waste storage container 8 for storing food waste 7.

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

Food waste 7 generated during cooking or leftover food in restaurants and home kitchens tends to rot 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, the initial odor when garbage is placed in the kitchen waste storage container adheres to the surface of the box inside the refrigerator as frost and ice, and when defrosting water is removed during defrosting. There was a problem in that the odor migrated to the automatic evaporation dish at the bottom as it flowed out, giving off a foul odor and strange odor during evaporation.

The present invention was developed in view of the above problems, and does not allow the initial odor of food waste to escape from the food waste storage container, and allows the odor to migrate to the frost inside the warehouse and automatically evaporate during defrosting. To provide a kitchen waste storage container in which water stored in a dish does not emit bad or strange odors.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the kitchen waste storage of the present invention has a kitchen waste storage container with an opening on the top surface for storing food waste, and a large drawer that is removably attached to the inside of the storage container. The container is composed of a door and a lid that covers the top opening attached to the kitchen waste storage container.

Function: With the above configuration, it is possible to easily take in and take out food waste by opening the door of the food waste storage container, and when food waste is stored in the food waste storage container, there is no foul odor or odor from the food waste.
It is possible to shut out rotten odors and the like, and to store the odor of frost in the refrigerator as defrosting water in an automatic evaporating tray during defrosting, thereby preventing the release of bad odors along with evaporation.

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

Reference numeral 9 denotes a main body of the kitchen waste storage, and a door 11 is attached via guide rails 10 so as to be freely openable and closable in the front and rear directions. A kitchen waste storage container 13 with an open top surface is detachably attached to the door 11 on the inside 12 side, and a lid 14 is attached to the upper side of the kitchen waste storage container 13. Further, a drain hole 16 is provided in the lower part of the main body 9, and the defrosted water in the refrigerator interior 12 is guided to the evaporation tray 16. On the other hand, inside 1
2 is cooled to at least 0 degrees Celsius or lower by a refrigerator 17.

The interior 12 of the main body 9 is cooled to at least 0 degrees Celsius or below (cooling preferably to -18 degrees Celsius or below).

First, the door 11 is opened when storing raw garbage 7 generated in a restaurant, a general household kitchen, etc. in the kitchen waste storage. A kitchen waste storage container 13 is attached to the inside of the door 11, and its opening is located on the top surface, making it easy to store food waste, so that splashes of water from the food waste 7 do not get on the inner wall of the inside 12. Hygienic. Also, inside the refrigerator 12 is a compressor 17. Since the temperature is maintained at 0 degrees Celsius or lower by the cooler, the garbage 7 does not decompose while stored in the chamber 12, and since the moisture is frozen, the liquid does not leak out.

Next, when the door 11 is opened, the lid 1 of the kitchen waste storage container 13 is opened.
Opening 4 stores raw garbage 7.

At this time, if the lid 14 is not provided, the foul odor and foreign odor of the garbage 7 will be emitted into the kitchen until the door 11 is closed, causing a very unpleasant feeling and spoiling the atmosphere of the meal.

Moreover, after the door 11 is closed, the food waste 7 at room temperature generates water vapor due to the temperature difference with the inside of the refrigerator, and if the lid 14 is not provided, this water vapor rises with odor and forms frost on the upper part of the inside of the refrigerator.

Moreover, this frost is removed from the drain hole 16 along with the defrosting water during defrosting.
It flows out of the refrigerator, is stored in the evaporating dish 16, and is automatically evaporated by the heat of the condenser 18, but at this time, it causes foul and strange odors to be emitted.

Therefore, by providing this lid 14, water vapor adheres to the back surface of the lid 14, and does not come out of the refrigerator through the drain hole 16 during defrosting, and therefore does not emit any bad odor or abnormal odor.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention stores food waste in a kitchen waste storage container that is attached to the inside of the door of a kitchen waste storage cabinet whose interior is cooled to below 0 degrees Celsius, and has an open top surface. By providing a lid that seals the opening on the top surface, odors are not directly released to the outside, and when the door is opened, odor-laden water vapor does not form frost on the inner box inside the refrigerator. To provide a kitchen waste storage that is hygienic and free from discomfort since frost water is stored in an evaporating dish through a drain hole and does not emit any foul odor or abnormal odor when it is automatically evaporated by the heat of a condenser.
