Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a garbage disposal device that pulverizes kitchen waste, such as vegetable scraps, from the kitchen by pouring it through a drain outlet of a sink.

[Prior Art] A conventional garbage disposal device is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-5746.
As seen in the publication, a rotating crushing blade is installed in the gauging installed between the drain port of the sink and the drain bowl connected to a sewer pipe, etc., and the water is poured into the drain port along with the water. The kitchen waste is crushed into fine pieces using a crushing blade and turned into a thick liquid that is then poured out.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The above-mentioned conventional food waste disposal equipment grinds kitchen waste into a thick liquid form and flushes it away, so it cannot be used in areas with a complete sewerage system, and it cannot be used in high-rise residential buildings. In many cases, its use is prohibited.

This invention was made to solve this problem, and the purpose is to obtain a garbage disposal device that can separate and dispose of crushed kitchen waste separately from the drainage system and has no restrictions on use. It is something to do.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The food waste disposal device according to the present invention uses a solenoid valve that is linked to a motor that rotates a crushing blade to supply water necessary for crushing kitchen waste that is input from an input port and crushed in a crushing section. Water is automatically supplied from a water supply member having a.

[Function] In this invention, the kitchen waste inputted into the crushing section from the input port is crushed by the crushing blade which rotates together with the water supplied from the water supply member, and then sent to the colander drum by the feeding section, and is sent to the colander drum which rotates. Sewage and kitchen waste are separated in the drum, and the sewage is discharged from the drain port and the kitchen waste is discharged from the discharge section, and the water necessary for pulverization is automatically supplied, making it easy to use.

An opening 41 is provided between the water storage tank forming the water draining drum 36 and the side wall of the draining drum 36, and water flows out from this opening 41 to the drain hose 32. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, this water reservoir tank 40 is formed to have a larger diameter than the outer diameter of the draining drum 36,
It may have gaps equally spaced from the draining drum 36, or it may have a large gap on the opening 41 side, and the draining drum 36 is cleaned by the collected water. 42 is a guide plate B provided on the discharge section 31; 43 is a garbage bag mounting section, which will be described later, provided on the discharge section 31; 44 is a garbage bag holder set on the mounting section 43; 45 is a garbage bag;
In FIG. 5, 46 is a power plug, 47 is a processing switch, 48 is an auto cut, 49 is a switch for attaching a garbage bag receiver, 50 is a drainer motor, 51 is a timer, and 52 is a timer contact.

In the garbage disposal device configured as described above, when the processing switch 47 is turned on, the crushing motor 15 and drainer motor 5o rotate, and the solenoid valve 10b opens and the crushing section 12d
Water is poured into the water pipe 10c.Next, when kitchen waste is put into the inlet 6 together with water or alone from the drain hole 2 of the sink 1 of the sink, the crushing blade A18 and the fixed blade 2° cause the kitchen waste to drain into the water. It is crushed together with water and sent to the sending pipe 27 by the sending blade 24 together with water. The water and crushed kitchen waste sent to the feed pipe 27 are sent to the rotating draining drum 36, the water passes through the draining hole 37 of the draining drum 36 to the water reservoir 40a, and the kitchen waste goes to the discharge section 31 side. move each. The kitchen waste that has been naturally dewatered in the draining drum 36 falls into a garbage bag 45. On the other hand, sticky kitchen waste adhering to the draining drum 36 is washed away by entering water into a water reservoir 40a formed in a water reservoir tank 40.

Furthermore, when the processing switch 47 is turned off after the kitchen waste processing is completed, the drainer motor 50 is operated for a predetermined period of time by the timer 51, the kitchen waste on the drainer drum 36 is dropped into the garbage bag 45, and then stopped. The garbage bag 45 into which the kitchen waste has been thrown is appropriately taken out from the sink and disposed of. In this way, the kitchen waste thrown into the crushing section 12d is crushed by the crushing blade A18 and the fixed blade 20 while being supplied with water, sent through the feed blade 24 into the draining casing 29, water is removed by the draining drum 36, and garbage is removed from the discharge section 31. By sending wastewater to a bag 45, collecting it in a garbage bag 45, and discharging the wastewater from the drain port 33 to the drain hose 32, the crushed kitchen waste can be separated from the drainage system and packaged in easy-to-handle bags, and the wastewater can be collected in the sewerage system. It can be used without problems even in places without facilities or in high-rise houses, and there is no need to run water from a sink during the crushing process.
It becomes easy to use. Of course, washing water and water from the sink 1 can also be used as water for grinding.

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above description of the embodiments, the present invention separates sewage from crushed kitchen waste and sends it to the discharge section. is pulverized by a rotating crushing blade while automatically supplying water with a water supply member, and then sent to a feeding section, and drained by being sent from the feeding section to a draining drum, thereby discharging sewage from a drain port and kitchen waste from a discharge section, respectively. It can be used comfortably even in places without sewage systems or in high-rise houses, and the water necessary for the crushing process is automatically supplied, making it easy to use.
