Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an apparatus for treating gray water containing food scraps and the like generated in the kitchen.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, kitchen sinks have a drain with a filter tube attached to the bottom of the sink. When foreign matter such as food skins and pieces is flushed with water, the foreign matter accumulates in the filter cylinder when gray water flows to the drain. When the filter tube is full of foreign matter, the filter tube is removed, the foreign matter is thrown away, and the filter tube is returned to its original drain port.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, with conventional filters of this kind, the volume of the filter tube is not very large, so you have to frequently dispose of the waste, and you have to handle the waste by hand, which is a major problem for housewives. It was becoming a burden.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention includes a water supply section for guiding gray water from the outside into the inside of a container, a hemispherical filtration section that is rotatably provided with respect to the container and that receives and filters gray water discharged from the water supply section, and a filtration section. a receiving part that is rotatably provided integrally with the filtration part and receives the wastewater filtered by the filtration part; a drainage part that guides the wastewater from the receiving part to the outside of the container; It consists of a storage section that can be taken in and out of the container and receives the foreign substances accumulated in the filtration section, and an excitation section that applies vibration to the filtration section when the filtration section and the receiving section are reversed. be.

[Effect]

Gray water that enters from the water supply section is filtered at the filtration section,
The impurities remain in the filtration section, and the waste water is discharged from the receiving section through the drainage section. When debris accumulates, the filtration part is reversed to drop the debris into the storage part, the filter part is further vibrated to remove the remaining debris, and the storage part is removed from the container and the debris is thrown away.

The guide body 32 is formed in a semicircular arc shape as shown in FIG. 2, and the groove 33 is also formed in a semicircular arc shape along this guide body. The end of the groove 33 widens outward to form a locking groove 34. The handle 31 is shown in the figure.
Although only the locking groove 34 at the right end is shown because of the presence of the locking groove 34, a century groove of the same shape is also formed at the left end.
Note that FIG. 1 shows a cross section taken along line A--A in FIG. 2.

35 is the handle part of the handle 31, 36 is the handle part 3

Reference numeral 8 represents a pushing portion integrally provided at the outer end of the rod 36, and 39 represents a spring for pushing the rod 36 outward. The state shown in FIG. 2 is when the filtration unit 8 is in the normal position, the locking piece 37 is in the locking groove at the left end by the force of the spring 39, and the handle 31 is held in that position without rotating. Ru.

Next, the operation of the gray water treatment apparatus configured as described above will be explained.

In FIG. 1, when gray water is introduced from the water supply section 4, it enters the filtration section 8 through the introducing body 7, where it is filtered to leave miscellaneous matter in the filtration section 8 and the waste water enters the receiving section 10. Further, the waste water is discharged from the pipe section 21 through a drainage section 23 to a sewer or the like. and,
When the filtration section 8 is full of miscellaneous substances after treating a large amount of gray water, the miscellaneous substances are discharged.

That is, when the pushing portion 38 of the handle 31 in FIG. 2 is pushed, the locking piece 37 moves from the left end locking groove to the groove 33 against the force of the spring 39. In this state, hold the handle 35 and turn the handle 31 clockwise as shown in Figure 2.
When turned 180 degrees, the locking piece 37 rotates the groove 33 by 180 degrees.
move once. Then, when the push part 38 is released at that position, the locking piece 37 is moved by the force of the spring 39 into the locking groove 3 at the right end.
4, the handle 31 is 180 degrees from the previous position.
held in a rotated position.

At this time, since the shaft 14 rotates together with the handle 31, the introduction body 7, the filtration part 8 and the receiving part 10
rotates 180 degrees and flips as one unit.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the main part of the filter section 8 in a state where it has been rotated 180 degrees from the normal position and has reached the inverted position. In this state, the impurities contained in the filtration section 8 fall into the waste bag 27 in the storage section 25 via the introduction body 7.
At the same time, the driver 22 drives the actuator 30
The switch 28 is turned on in order to press the button. Since this switch 28 is connected to the power source section 6 by wiring (not shown), when the switch 28 is turned on, alternating current is supplied from the power source section 6 to the vibrating section 5, and the vibrating section 5 generates an alternating magnetic flux. This magnetic flux is transmitted to the magnetic body 18 via the threaded portion 19a made of a magnetic material and the magnetic body 19, and gives vibration to the filter section 8. As a result, all the clogging and other impurities adhering to the filter section 8 fall into the waste bag 27. When the waste bag 27 contains miscellaneous items, hold the handle 26 and pull out the container 25 from the opening 1a. Because of the rail 24, the housing portion 25 comes out easily. Next, the waste bag 27 is taken out and thrown away, and the storage section 25 is returned to its original position within the container 1. Then, by operating the handle 31, the filter section 8 is also returned to its original normal position.

In addition to the embodiments described above, the filtration part may be made of a magnetic material such as iron, and the filtration part may be directly vibrated without using a separate magnetic material 18.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the gray water treatment device of the present invention, it is not necessary to dispose of miscellaneous materials as frequently as in the past, but only occasionally, and moreover, the wastewater can be disposed of without directly touching the wastewater. This has the effect of significantly reducing the burden on housewives at home.
