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]

In the conventional food waste disposal equipment as described above, kitchen waste is crushed into a thick liquid and flushed away as is, so it cannot be used in places with a 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 elongated cylindrical shape, which has an input port connected to the drain of the sink, and a drain port at the bottom that has a filtration section connected to a drain hose connected to a sewage pipe, etc. A casing, a float having a concave vertical slit in a side wall provided to seal a drain port of the casing, and a driver rotated by a motor rotatably installed horizontally within the casing. A crushing section having a plurality of crushing blades provided so as to be able to appear and retract in the radial direction of this drum, communicated with the casing immediately before the casing inlet of the crushing section, and rotated by a motor inside. The casing is provided with a feeding blade and a discharge portion having a discharge port behind the communication portion with the casing.

[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.

In the garbage processing apparatus configured as described above, kitchen waste is input from the drain port (21) of the sink (1) into the input port 441 alone or together with water, and when power is input, the motor (34 ) rotates, the drum (14) rotates clockwise, and the drum B (27) rotates counterclockwise.The kitchen waste thrown into the crushing section (I2) is passed through the crushing blades (15) that rotate together with the drum (14). ) by casing (3)
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).
When the amount of water is small, it flows out through the slit (23) on the side wall of the float (22), and when the amount of water increases, the water level rises to the filtration part (19) and flows through the float (22). 22) floats to the surface and flows out throughout the drain (6),
The water is drained through drain hose 4. Discharge part (25)
The pulverized material that has entered is sequentially sent out to the discharge roller 32 by the rotation of the feed blade (28).The pulverized material sent to the discharge port (32) is placed in a plastic bag (4
7) and accumulated. The weight of the crushed materials accumulated in the plastic bag (47) causes the baguette stand (40) to tilt counterclockwise around the fulcrum (42), causing the microswitch A to tilt.
(39) is input. This allows the seal motor (5
0) rotates, 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 micro switch C (73) changes from ON to OFF, and the above movement continues and the overlapping hole A
<Al and polymerization hole B (59) polymerize, sealing hole (
When the plastic bag (47) is caught in the tape 62), the microswitch D (74) is turned 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 four parts (69) of the protrusion (68) and into the recesses (six). Adhesive tape all around (65)
is wound and a seal is formed. Next, the adhesive tape (65) is cut by the cutter (71), and the microswitch E
(751 turns on and the function stops, (12)
The plastic bag (47) is replaced manually, the power is input again, and the crushing operation is started. In this way, the crushing section (1
2) The kitchen waste thrown in 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 discharged by the rotating discharge port (32) of the feed blade (28). Reception department (36) separate from drainage system
By automatically sealing the opening of this plastic bag (47), the crushed kitchen waste is separated from the drainage system and automatically wrapped in a bag, making it easier to handle. It is simple and can be used in places without complete sewerage system or in high-rise residential buildings. Furthermore, due to the float (22) provided at the drain port (6), the amount of tap water during normal garbage processing is reduced to flow 1-<22) by the slots 71 to (23) on the side wall.
If there is a large amount of tap water or water from a washing tub, etc., the pressure loss of the above-mentioned pickpockets 71 to (23) will increase, water will accumulate, and the water level will rise to the filtration part (19), and the water level will rise to the filtration part (19).
19) Wash with water. If the water level rises further due to the specific gravity of Flow 1- (22), Flow 1- (22>) will float up, and the opening area of the drain port (6) will become larger, allowing more water to be drained and lowering the water level, making it easy to get dirty with dust. The filter section (19) can be cleaned by adjusting the water pressure.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, this invention consists of a horizontally long cylindrical casing with an input port connected to the drain of the sink at the top and a drain at the bottom with a filtration section connected to the drain hose connected to a sewer pipe, etc. a float having a concave vertical slit formed in a side wall provided to seal the drain port of the casing; a drum rotated by a motor rotatably installed horizontally within the gauging; 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, communicating with the casing immediately before the input port of the casing of the crushing section, and having a feeding blade rotated by a motor inside; A discharge part having a discharge port is provided at the rear of the communication part with the casing, so that the kitchen waste thrown into the crushing part together with water is crushed by the crushing blade,
