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 assembled between the sink drain and a drain hose connected to a sewage pipe, etc., which removes water from the drain. 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]

- Conventional food waste disposal equipment such as the one in Section F crushes kitchen waste into a thick liquid 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 segregate and dispose of pulverized kitchen waste separately from the drainage system, and which has no restrictions on use. That is.

[Means to solve the problem]

The garbage disposal device according to the present invention is a tank-length cylindrical tank having an input port connected to a sink drain port 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. a casing of the above-mentioned shape, a drum rotated by a motor rotatably suspended within the casing, and a crushing section having a plurality of crushing blades provided so as to be able to move in and out of the drum in a radial direction; a casing of the crushing section; The discharge part communicates with the casing immediately before the input port, has a feeding blade rotated by a motor inside, and has a discharge port behind the communication part with the casing, and has a magnet in the input port. A removable front cover is provided, and a reed switch that moves with the magnet is provided near the inlet.

[Effect]

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

) The casing (
3) It is crushed inside. When the kitchen waste is large, the crushing blade (15) rotates with a protrusion amount corresponding to the difference between the resistance by 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 can pass through the inlet (29), the waste is crushed from the inlet (2) to the discharge part (2).
5) The crushed kitchen waste enters. During this time, the water poured in with the kitchen waste is pumped through the small holes (2

The crushed material sent to the discharge port (32) is dropped into the plastic bag (47) housed in the bucket (46) and accumulated.The crushed material accumulated in the plastic bag (47) is transferred to the bucket due to its weight. The stand (40) is tilted counterclockwise by the fulcrum (42), and the microswitch A (391) is input.This causes the seal motor 50 to rotate, and as shown in FIG. 9(b), the slide plate A (54) starts to move to the right, the tape holder (52) starts to move to the left, the microswitch C (73) changes from the ON state to the OFF state, and the above movement continues and the overlap hole A (A) and the overlap hole B ( 59) and when the plastic bag (47) is caught in the seal hole (62), the microswitch D (74)
turns on 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 drawn into the recess (69) of the protrusion (68).
9), an adhesive tape (65) is wrapped around the entire circumference to form a seal. Next, cutter (71) is used to cut 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 part (12) together with water is crushed by the crushing blade (15), the sewage is drained through 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 waste is sent to a plastic bag (47) in the receiving section (36) through a discharge port (32), and by automatically sealing the opening of this waste bag (47), the pulverized kitchen waste is By separating it separately from the drainage system and automatically wrapping it in bags, it is easy to handle and can be used even in places without a complete sewerage system or in high-rise houses.
