Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent emission and diffusion of bad smell to the outside and a garbage container from being contaminated by providing a gap between the garbage container and an inner box, and fixing a garbage bag and sealing the gap using a resident ring member fitted to the outer periphery of the garbage container. CONSTITUTION:A garbage container 10 is formed of a raw material of low thermal conductivity such as synthetic resin and has a gap X between it and an inner box 7. The container 10 is contained in the inner box 7. A resident ring member 15 is fitted to the outer periphery of the container 10. The resilient ring member 15 serves to fix a garbage bag 16 to the garbage container 10 and seal the gap X. In the garbage freezer, garbage is frozen and kept at a temperature less than -10 deg.C without being affected by defrosting heat and the like, and bad odor due to the propagation of bacterium is prevented from being produced, with the amount of frost onto the inner box 7 being limited only to the amount of water content in the gap X. Further, fresh air is prevented from entering upon a door being opened and closed as well as any odor prevented from being flowing out. Thus, the garbage container 10 is prevented from being contaminated and any odor prevented from being diffused, with a simplified structure.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a garbage freezer in which a garbage container is housed in an inner box of a freezer body.

(b) Technique for promoting rice In the conventional cooling storage described in Utility Model Publication No. 61-5577, which precedes the present invention, the cooling pipe of the refrigeration cycle is attached to the inner box, so that the inner box can be used as a cooler. However, when a garbage container is stored in this inner box-shaped cooler and used as a garbage freezing storage, the odor caused by the growth of bacteria inside the garbage container is stored in the cooler together with frost. The disadvantage of the above-mentioned inner box is that when it adheres to the cooler and is discharged as defrosting water outside the refrigerator and is forcibly heated and evaporated outside the refrigerator, this odor is also released outside the refrigerator and spreads, causing discomfort to the user. Disadvantages include the fact that the amount of frost on the box-shaped cooler increases and the frequency of defrosting increases, and when the inner box-shaped cooler is defrosted, the defrosting heat is transmitted to the inside of the garbage container, reducing the ability to freeze food waste. There are drawbacks.

(c) Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks, prevents the release and diffusion of odors outside the garbage freezer, and prevents the garbage container from becoming dirty with a simple structure. It is.

(d) Means for solving the problem + invention is that an inner box to which a cooling pipe of a refrigeration cycle is attached is arranged inside the freezer main body, and a food waste container is stored in this inner box, and The upper opening of the inner box is closed by the door body of the freezer main body, and a gap is provided between the food waste container and the inner box, and an elastic ring is provided around the outer periphery of the food waste container. Fit the parts L,
This elastic ring member fixes the garbage bag and seals the gap.

(E) Function According to the present invention, the gap outside the garbage container is closed by the elastic ring member, so that there is no infiltration of outside air or inflow of odor from the garbage container when the door is opened or closed, and no odor is absorbed. As a result, the amount of defrosting water and the release of odors related to the amount of defrosting water to the outside of the refrigerator are also prevented. Furthermore, the gap can be both sealed and the garbage bag can be fixed with a simple structure in which the elastic ring member is fitted around the outer periphery of the garbage container.

(f) Example Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

In Fig. 1, (1) is the freezer body, (2) is a door rotatably supported on an example part (3) of the upper edge of the freezer body (1), and the door body is attached all around the back side. Seal backing (
2a) (described later) is attached.

(4) is a ventilation hole that allows outside air to flow into the machine room (5) (described later).

In Fig. 2, (6) is the outer box of the freezer main body (1), and (7) is made of a material with high thermal conductivity provided inside the outer box (6) via a heat insulating material (8). (9) is a decorative frame disposed at the opening edge of the freezer main body (1);
Reference numeral (10) denotes a garbage container that is detachably attached to the inner box (7), and is inserted and removed from the insertion/removal opening (11) surrounded by the decorative frame (9). (12) is a cooling pipe attached to the back side of the inner box (7), and the compressor (13) and decompression device arranged in the machine room (5)! (not shown) along with the bottom of the refrigeration cycle.

In the vicinity of this cooling pipe (12), a defrosting heater (14) (to be described later) is arranged to heat the inner box (7) from the back side and defrost the surface. (14)
The time point at which electricity is started is determined by integrating the operating time of the compressor (13), and the defrosting frequency is adjusted by setting the integrated time in consideration of the frost formation speed. . Further, the defrosting water is led out to the evaporating dish (S) via the drainage vibrator (P) and is forcibly evaporated by the heat of the compressor (13).

As shown in FIG. 3, the garbage container (10) is made of a material with low thermal conductivity such as synthetic resin, and has a gap (X) between the outside and the inner box (7). It has this inner box (
7) and an elastic ring member (15) on the outer periphery thereof.
The elastic ring member (15) fixes the garbage bag (16) to the garbage container (10) and seals the gap (X). The elastic first ring member (15
) is specifically made of a stretchable material such as rubber, and the garbage bag (16) is wrapped around the open end (16a) of the garbage bag (16) in this elastic ring member (15). ) is configured to be press-fixed to the garbage container (10).

Further, the elastic ring member (15) is arranged at the lower part of the curved opening edge (10a) of the garbage container (10) as shown in FIG. )
When the decorative frame body (9) is attached to the container, the curved opening edge (10a) is pressed against the decorative frame body (9) to reliably seal the gap (X) due to the garbage tL@. It is.

In the food waste freezer, the food waste has a food waste volume of 5 (t
o: + has low thermal conductivity and a heat insulating gap (X) is provided on the outside, so -i is not affected by the adverse effects of defrosting heat, etc.
It is stored frozen at a stable temperature below 0°C to prevent the occurrence of bad odors due to bacterial growth, and it is also stored in a garbage container (10
) is installed, the amount of frost formed on the inner box (7) is limited only by the amount of moisture in the gap (X). Further, it is possible to seal the gap (X) and fix the garbage bag (16) with a simple structure in which the elastic ring member (15) is simply fitted around the outer periphery of the garbage container (10). become.

(G) Effects of the Invention The present invention is constructed as shown in E below, and since a gap is provided on the outside of the garbage container, the insulating effect of this gap eliminates the adverse effects of defrosting heat on the garbage container, resulting in stable low temperature. The temperature can be maintained to prevent bacterial growth, and an elastic ring member is fitted around the outer periphery of the garbage container, and the elastic ring member fixes the garbage bag and seals the gap.
A simple structure in which the ring member is fitted around the outer periphery of the garbage container can both seal the gap and fix the garbage bag, and the gap also prevents outside air from entering when the door body is opened and closed. This also eliminates the inflow of odors from the garbage container and limits the formation of frost that has adsorbed odors.This also prevents the amount of defrosting water and the release and diffusion of odors related to this amount of defrosting water to the outside of the refrigerator. To provide a garbage freezer that has a simple structure and can prevent soiling of a garbage container and release and diffusion of odors.
