Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field] This invention is a method for installing a switch that operates the ventilation fan in a food waste storage cabinet where the ventilation fan is activated when the lid is opened and garbage is thrown in to prevent odors from entering the room. It's about structure.

[Background Art] In recent years, various types of food waste storage boxes have been proposed in which food waste generated in kitchens and the like is put into an outdoor storage case through an input port in an outer wall. However, this type of food waste storage has a drawback in that when the lid of the input port for putting food waste is opened, the odor of the food waste in the outdoor storage case enters the house and the odor wafts inside. For this reason, recently there have been proposals for devices that operate a ventilation fan in the storage case when the lid of the input port is opened to exhaust the odor and prevent the odor from entering the room. Since a switch is provided that operates in response to the opening and closing of the lid, there are disadvantages in that water may enter the switch, which is dangerous, and odor tends to leak out.

[Purpose of the invention] This invention has been made in view of the above points, and the purpose of this invention is to turn on the push switch when the lid is opened and drive the ventilation fan to prevent odors from entering the room. Of course, the purpose is to provide a garbage storage that does not allow water to enter a push switch and is not dangerous even around water, and does not leak odor by using a waterproof sheet and waterproof packing.

[Disclosure of the invention] The garbage storage of the present invention has a storage case 2 placed on the outdoor side of the outer wall 1, and a ventilation fan 3 for exhausting the odor inside the storage case 2 is installed in the storage case 2. The charging cylinder 5 is inserted into the through hole 4 which is bored so as to communicate with the inside of the case 2, and the through hole 4 is inserted.
A lid receiving plate 6 that covers the edge is attached to the indoor side of the through hole 4, and a lid 7 that can open and close the opening of the charging cylinder 5 is attached to the lid receiving plate 6 so as to be openable and closable. The ventilation fan 3 is placed on the outer periphery of the cylinder 5 and next to the charging cylinder 5.
A push switch SW that operates is arranged so that it can freely come into contact with the lid 7, and when the lid 7 is opened or closed, the push switch SW is activated.
A waterproof sheet 10 in which a push button part 8 for opening and closing the SW projects horizontally toward the indoor side from the through hole 9 of the lid receiving plate 6, and the push button part 8 penetrates between the push button part 8 and the edge of the through hole 9. A waterproof gasket 11 is interposed between the charging cylinder 5 and the lid receiving plate 6 closer to the opening of the charging cylinder 5 than the waterproof sheet 10 is.
In other words, the push switch SW is protected by providing a waterproof sheet 10 and a waterproof gasket 11 to prevent water from entering the push switch SW.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to examples. 1 is an outer wall, and a storage case 2 is attached to the outdoor side of the outer wall 1. There is a garbage container 1 inside the storage case 2.
2 is installed inside, and the front opening 13 of the storage case 2
is provided with a door 26 that can be opened and closed. A ceiling plate 15 is arranged below the top plate 14 of the storage case 2 and is approximately parallel to the top plate 14.
An exhaust passage 16 is formed between the cylinder 5 and the cylinder 5. A ventilation fan 3 is provided approximately in the center of the ceiling board 15, and the ventilation fan 3 guides odor from above the garbage receiving container 12 into the exhaust passage 16. The exhaust port 1 is located in the portion of the exhaust passage 16 facing the upper end of the door 26.
7, a recess 18 for attaching a deodorizer is recessed in the exhaust port 17, and a deodorizer 19 is removably mounted in the recess 18 for attaching a deodorizer. 20 is an air inlet provided at the lower end of the door 14. The outer wall 1 has a through hole 4 that communicates with the inside of the storage case 2.
A rectangular cylindrical charging cylinder 5 is inserted into the through hole 4, and a flange 5 on the indoor side of the charging cylinder 5 is inserted into the through hole 4.
a is in contact with the 4th edge of the through hole. Reference numeral 6 denotes a lid receiving plate in the shape of a rectangular frame, which is arranged so as to cover the four edges of the through hole on the indoor side, and is attached with fasteners 21 such as wood screws. At this time, a waterproof packing 11 is interposed between the charging cylinder 5 and the lid receiving plate 6 over the entire circumference. A lid 7 that can open and close the input port 22 is attached to the lid receiving plate 6 so as to be openable and closable using a hinge 23. Here, 25 is a handle. A switch housing 24 is installed next to the input cylinder 5 on the indoor side between the through hole 4 and the input cylinder 5, and a push switch SW is installed inside the switch housing 24. A push switch SW is attached to a fixing fitting 27 integrally provided on the lid receiving plate 6. The push switch SW is turned off when the push button 8 is pressed, and turned on when the push button 8 is released. Push switch on lid receiving plate 6
A through hole 9 is provided in the part corresponding to SW,
A push button part 8 is horizontally projected from the through hole 9, and a waterproof sheet 10 covering the space between the edge of the through hole 9 and the push button part 8 is attached to the edge of the through hole 9. That is, the push button part 8 which can freely come into contact with the lid 7 and which opens and closes the push switch SW when the lid 7 is opened and closed is made to protrude from the through hole 9 of the lid receiving plate 6 so that it can be pushed freely, and the push button part 8 and the edge of the through hole 9 are The gap is closed with a waterproof sheet 10 that penetrates the push button part 8, and a waterproof gasket 11 is placed between the charging cylinder 5 and the lid receiving plate 6 closer to the opening side of the charging cylinder 5 than the waterproof sheet 10. It has been intervened. Reference numeral 28 is a power supply line wired between the exterior material 1a and the interior material 1b of the outer wall 1, and is connected to a joint box 29. 3
0 is a lead wire for the switch, which connects the push switch SW and the joint box 29. 31 is a lead wire for the ventilation fan, which connects the joint box 29 and the ventilation fan 3. However, when the lid 7 is closed, the push button 8 is pressed, the push switch SW is turned off, and the ventilation fan 3 is not driven. When the lid 7 is opened, the push button 8 is released, the push switch SW is turned on, the ventilation fan 3 is driven, and the odor is exhausted.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, in this invention, the push switch turns on and off in response to the opening and closing of the lid that opens and closes the opening of the input cylinder, and operates the ventilation fan, so when garbage is thrown in, the ventilation fan is driven to exhaust odors. In addition to preventing odors from entering the room, a waterproof sheet can be used to close the gap between the push button and the through hole in the lid receiving plate that protrudes the push button of the push switch. Since a waterproof gasket is inserted between the water and the kitchen, garbage can be thrown in from near the water area such as the kitchen, and even if the push switch is placed in this area, water will not get into the push switch. It is possible to reliably prevent this from occurring, and there is no risk of electrical leakage or electric shock. Moreover, since the waterproof packing is interposed between the charging cylinder and the lid receiving plate closer to the opening side of the charging cylinder than the waterproof sheet, the charging cylinder can be inserted from between the charging cylinder and the lid receiving plate. It is waterproof so that the water inside the cylinder does not enter the push switch side, eliminating the risk of electrical leakage and electric shock. In addition, since the push switch is placed on the outer periphery of the input cylinder inside the through hole, even if the push switch is located inside the through hole in the outer wall and the push switch is installed, the lid receiving plate will not protrude indoors. The board can be stored so that it does not protrude indoors. Furthermore, the push button part that can freely touch the lid and opens and closes the push switch when the lid is opened/closed is made to protrude horizontally from the through hole in the lid receiving plate toward the indoor side, so even when the lid is open, the push button part of the push switch can be moved indoors. It can be operated from the inside facing the front, and when the ventilation fan gets in the way when cleaning the lid receiving plate, lid, or input duct, it can be easily operated by pressing the push button of the push switch. It can be cleaned easily. Furthermore, since the push switch is located next to the input cylinder within the through hole, even if moisture from the garbage leaks from the input cylinder, there is no risk of the push switch getting wet because it is located next to it. In this respect, it does not cause any harm to the push switch.
