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 a horizontally long cylindrical shape, which has an input port connected to the drain of a sink at the top and a drain port having a filtration part connected to a drain hose connected to a sewer pipe etc. at the bottom. The above-mentioned components include a casing, a drum rotated by a motor rotatably installed horizontally within the casing, a plurality of crushing blades provided so as to be able to appear and retract in the radial direction of this drum, and a fixed blade that overlaps with the crushing blades. a crushing section disposed on the inner wall of the casing so as to be located at a predetermined distance from the inner wall surface of the input port toward the outer wall; a feeding blade that communicates with the casing immediately before the input port of the casing of the crushing section and is rotated by a motor therein; and a discharge part having a discharge port behind the communication part with the casing.

[Effect]

In this invention, the kitchen waste thrown into the crushing part from the input port along with water is crushed by the crushing blades, the sewage is drained from the drain port, and the crushed kitchen waste is discharged from the discharge part by the feed blade.

In the garbage disposal device configured as described above, kitchen waste is input from the drain port (21) of the sink (1) into the input port (4) alone or together with water, and when the power is input, the motor (34) rotates, the drum (14) rotates clockwise, and the drum B (27) rotates counterclockwise.The kitchen waste fed into the crushing section (12) is crushed by rotating with the drum (14). Casing (3) by blade (15)
It is being shattered within. When the kitchen waste is large, the crushing blade (!5) 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).
The crushed kitchen waste enters the casing (3), and during this time, the water poured in with the kitchen waste flows into the small hole (20) at the bottom of the casing (3) due to the centrifugal force and gravity caused by the rotation of the crushing blade (I5).
The water flows down to the water receiver (21) and is drained through the drain hose 4. 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, as shown in Figure 9 (
As shown in b), the slide plate A (54) begins to move to the right, the tape holder (52) begins to move to the left, and the microswitch C (73) changes from the ON state to the OFF state.
The above movement further progresses to overlap hole A (A) and overlap hole I3.
<59) is polymerized, and the plastic bag (4
7) is pinched, the microswitch D (74) turns O.
N and the tape motor rotates. As the tape motor rotates, the adhesive tape (65) is pulled out by the rotation of the roller (67), and the plastic bag (47) is pulled out from the protrusion (
68) into the recesses (69), and the recesses (6)
Adhesive tape (65) is wrapped around the inside to form a seal. Next, the adhesive tape (65) is cut by the cutter (71), 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. 3) The crushing operation is started. 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.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention provides a horizontally elongated sink with an inlet connected to the drain of the sink at the top and a drain at the bottom with a filtration part connected to the drain hose connected to a sewer pipe, etc. A cylindrical casing, a drum that is rotatably mounted horizontally within the casing and rotated by a motor, a plurality of crushing blades that are provided to be able to move in and out of the drum in a radial direction, and a fixed member that overlaps with the crushing blades. A crushing section disposed on the inner wall of the casing so that the blades are positioned at a predetermined distance from the inner wall surface of the input port toward the outer wall, the crushing section communicates with the casing immediately before the input port of the casing, and is rotated by a motor inside. The pulverizing blade crushes the kitchen waste that is thrown into the pulverizing part together with water, and the sewage is removed from the casing through the casing. Drained and crushed kitchen waste can be sent to an outlet separate from the drainage system and disposed of by the rotating discharge part of the feed blade, and the crushed kitchen waste can be separated and disposed of separately from the drainage system. Because of this, there are no restrictions on its use, and it can be used even in places without complete sewerage systems or in high-rise residential buildings.
