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 produced in the kitchen by pouring them into the kitchen through a drain outlet of a sink.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional food waste disposal equipment is equipped with rotating crushing blades in a casing that is assembled between the drain outlet of the sink and a drain hose connected to a sewer pipe, etc. The kitchen waste that is poured into the machine is crushed into fine pieces by a crushing blade, and then poured out as a thick liquid (see, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 55-5746).

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional food waste disposal equipment described above crushes kitchen waste into a thick liquid form and flushes it away as is, so it can only be used in places with a complete sewer system. Additionally, their use is prohibited in many high-rise residential buildings.

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

[Means to solve the problem]

The garbage disposal device according to the present invention has an input port connected to a sink drain port and an internal front cover at the top, and a drain port located at the bottom that has a filtration part connected to a drain hose connected to a sewage pipe or the like. a crushing section having a horizontally long cylindrical casing provided therein, a drum rotated by a motor rotatably installed horizontally within the casing, and a plurality of crushing blades provided so as to be able to move in and out of the drum in a radial direction; a discharge section that communicates with the casing immediately before the casing input port of the crushing section, has a feeding blade rotated by a motor therein, and has a discharge port behind the communication section with the casing;
An overflow prevention lid is provided at the bottom of the front lid, which is opened and closed by attaching and detaching the front lid.

[Effect]

In this invention, the overflow prevention lid is provided at the lower part of the front lid inside the inlet and is opened and closed by attaching and detaching the front lid, so that the overflow prevention lid opens and closes depending on the presence or absence of the front lid.

In the garbage processing apparatus configured as described above, kitchen waste is input into the input port (Φ) alone or together with water from the drain port +21 of the sink (1), and when the power is input, the motor (34 ) rotates and the drum (14) moves clockwise,
The drums B (27) each rotate counterclockwise.

The kitchen waste introduced into the crushing section (12) is crushed into a casing (3) by a crushing blade (15) that rotates together with a drum 18 (14).
It is being shattered within. When the kitchen waste is large, the crushing blade (15) rotates with a protrusion amount corresponding to the difference between the resistance of the kitchen waste and the centrifugal force due to rotation, and successively crushes the kitchen waste. When the kitchen waste is crushed to a size that allows it to pass through the inlet (29), it passes through the inlet (29) to the discharge section (25).
Shredded kitchen waste goes into the container. During this time, the water poured in with the kitchen waste is pumped through the small holes (20) at the bottom of the casing (3) by centrifugal force and gravity caused by the rotation of the crushing blades (15).
The water flows down to the water receiver (21) and is drained through the drain hose (5). The pulverized material that has entered the discharge section (25) is sequentially sent out to the discharge port (32) by rotation of the feed blade (28). The crushed material sent out to the discharge port (32) is dropped into a plastic bag (47) contained in a packet (46) and accumulated therein. Due to the weight of the crushed material accumulated in the plastic bag (47), the packet stand (40) is tilted counterclockwise about the fulcrum (42), and the microswitch A (39) is inputted. This causes the seal motor (50) to rotate and the ninth
As shown in Figure (b), the slide plate A (54) begins to move to the right and the tape holder (52) to the left, the micro switch C (73) changes from the ON state to the OFF state, and the above movement continues. Overlapping hole A (A) and overlapping hole B
(59) is polymerized, and the plastic bag (
When the microswitch D (741) is pinched, the tape motor rotates.The rotation of the tape motor causes the adhesive tape (65) to be pulled out by the rotation of the roller (67), and the plastic bag (47) is drawn into the four parts (69) of the protruding piece (68), and the concave part (69)
), the adhesive tape (65) is wrapped around the entire circumference to form a seal. Next, use the cutter (71) to remove the adhesive tape (65).
is disconnected, the microswitch E (75) is turned on, the function is stopped, the plastic bag (47) is replaced manually, and the power is turned on again to start the crushing operation. In this way, the kitchen waste thrown into the crushing section (12) together with water is crushed by the crushing blade (15), the sewage is drained from the discharge port (22), and the crushed kitchen waste is removed by the rotation of the feed blade (28). Separately from the drainage system, the discharge port (32) sends the crushed kitchen waste to a plastic bag (47) in the receiving section (36), and by automatically sealing the opening of this plastic bag (47), the crushed kitchen waste is transferred to the drainage system. Since it is separated and automatically wrapped in a bag, it is easy to handle and can be used even in places without a sewer system or in high-rise housing.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, this invention has an inlet connected to the drain of the sink and has an internal chrysanthemum lid at the top, and a drain at the bottom that has a filtration part connected to a drain hose connected to a sewage pipe, etc. A crushing section having a horizontally elongated cylindrical casing, a drum rotated by a motor rotatably installed horizontally within the casing, and a plurality of crushing blades provided so as to be able to move in and out of the drum in a radial direction; a discharge part that communicates with the casing immediately before the input port of the casing, has a feeding blade rotated by a motor inside, and has a discharge port behind the communication part with the casing; By installing an overflow prevention lid at the bottom of the unit that can be opened and closed by attaching and removing the chrysanthemum lid, the kitchen waste thrown into the crushing section along with water is crushed by the crushing blade, and the sewage is drained from the outlet. is sent to a separate outlet from the drainage system by the rotating discharge part of the feeder blade.

Since the pulverized kitchen waste can be disposed of separately from the drainage system, there are no restrictions on its use, and it can be used even in places without complete sewerage systems or in high-rise houses.
