A suppressing means is provided for pressing and driving this pressing member.

Furthermore, the pressing means in the present invention is attached to a motor serving as a driving source, a gear mechanism for transmitting the driving force from the motor, and the pressing member, and also takes in the driving force from the gear mechanism and presses the suppressing member. The motor is composed of an operating shaft for forward and backward movement, and the motor is provided with a control section for driving and controlling the motor.

Further, in the method of compressing trash according to the present invention, when driving the motor to move the pressing member forward and backward, the pressing force for compressing the dust by the pressing member is set to a predetermined value, and the pressing force is maintained at a predetermined time for a predetermined time. Therefore, a control command is output from the control section to the motor.

Further, the pressing means of the present invention is provided with an actuation lever having one end rotatably fixed to a frame fixedly supported within the housing, and the actuating lever is rotatably fixed at one end to a corner of the frame, and the lever is pivotally connected to the corner of the frame so as to cross each other at an intermediate portion. One end of the first and second operating arms is pivoted, and a pressing frame for compressing the garbage in the storage tray is pivoted to the other end, and an interlocking shaft is provided between the operating lever and the second operating arm. and a locking means for holding the operating lever in a predetermined position is provided on the frame.

(Function) A garbage storage tray is pulled out from the housing, and a garbage bag containing solid garbage such as food packaging containers is stored therein. After the garbage storage tray is stored in the housing, the pressing means is driven, and the pressure bag is compressed by the suppressing member within the garbage storage tray under a predetermined pressure. After being held for a predetermined time, the garbage bag is removed from the garbage storage tray in a compressed state. This reduces the volume of the garbage bag, making it easier to carry when disposing of it.

Note: When driving the motor constituting the pressing means to move the pressing member forward and backward, the pressing force for compressing the dirt by the pressing member should be a predetermined value, and the dust should be compressed at the pressure for a predetermined period of time. Since the control unit outputs a control command to the motor, the desired compression process is performed regardless of the amount of garbage or the quality of the garbage, and the motor operates properly and does not become overloaded. There isn't.

On the other hand, when the pressing means is manual, the procedure is as follows.

When the operating lever is pushed in after the garbage bag containing solid waste such as food packaging containers is stored in the garbage storage tray, the second operating arm is displaced downward via the interlocking shaft.

In this case, since the first actuating arm is cross-coupled to the second actuating arm at the intermediate portion, the first actuating arm is displaced downward together with the second actuating arm. As a result, the pressing frame pivotally attached to the other end portions of the first and second operating arms is displaced downward and compresses the garbage bag. The actuating lever is held in the pushed position by the locking means, and the garbage bag is compressed and its volume is reduced.

(Example) Next, the garbage compression processor according to the present invention will be described below with reference to (1) Example and the attached drawings.
