Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a food waste storage device that allows food waste to be stored outdoors.

[Background technology]

External wall 1 at the location where the kitchen sink 10 is installed
A bay window 2 is often provided. When the garbage receiving container 3 is installed on the outdoor side of the outer wall 1 at the lower position of the bay window 2, the duct 5 used to put the garbage from the indoor side into the outdoor garbage receiving container 3 is Since it is much easier to make a hole in the base plate 4 of the bay window 2 than to make a hole in the outer wall 1, it is attached to the base plate 4 of the bay window 2 as shown in FIG. Then, by removing the lid 11 provided at the upper end of the duct 5 and throwing the food waste into the duct 5, the food waste is thrown from the duct 5 into the outdoor food waste receiving container 3, and the food waste that generates an unpleasant odor is removed outdoors. It is for storage. Reference numeral 12 in FIG. 1 denotes an outer container attached to the outer wall 1 to support the garbage receiving container 3. However, regarding this
Because the duct 5 is installed on the base plate 4 of the bay window 2, it is located far away from the indoor space, and since the sink 10 is installed in the bay window 2, it is difficult to see the person standing in front of the sink 10. The distance to the duct 5 will be further away, and if you want to throw food waste into the duct 5, you will have to reach out to open and close the lid 11, or you will have to reach out to put food waste into the duct 5. The operation was extremely difficult.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a food waste storage device that allows food waste to be thrown in without the need to reach out.

[Disclosure of the invention]

Therefore, in the food waste storage device according to the present invention, a food waste receiving container 3 is disposed outdoors at a position below a bay window 2 provided on an outer wall 1 of a house, and the food waste container 3 is installed vertically through the base plate 4 of the bay window 2. The lower end of the attached duct 5 faces above the garbage receiving container 3, and the upper part of the duct 5 is made to protrude above the base plate 4, and the upper part of the duct 5 is bent toward the indoor side, so that the duct 5 faces toward the indoor side. The upper end opening is used as a garbage inlet 6, and the garbage inlet 6 is located at a position substantially flush with the indoor side surface of the outer wall 1, and is hidden between the garbage inlet 6 of the duct 5 and the base plate 4. The present invention is characterized in that a plate 20 is attached thereto, and with this configuration, the above object is achieved.The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to Examples.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which a bay window 2 is attached to an opening in an exterior wall 1 of a house, and an outer container 12 is screwed to the outdoor surface of the exterior wall 1 at a lower position of the bay window 2. It is installed with. A food waste receiving container 3 is housed within the outer container 12, and the food waste receiving container 3 can be taken out by opening and closing a door provided on the outer container 12. The duct 5 is installed through a through hole 13 provided in the base plate 4 of the bay window 2, and the space between the duct 5 and the through hole 13 is closed by a sealing pad. The duct 5 is formed into a two-part structure as shown in FIG. 3, with a lower duct 14 projecting downward from the main plate 4 and an upper duct 15 projecting upward from the main plate 4. By passing a screw 18 through the flange 17 of the duct 15 and screwing this screw 18 into the base plate 4, the upper and lower ducts 14, 14 are attached to the base plate 4 in a connected state. This upper duct 15 is formed to be bent toward the indoor side, and its tip is opened as the garbage inlet 6 at the indoor side opening of the bay window 2. The position of this garbage inlet 6 is substantially flush with the indoor side surface of the outer wall 1. An opening/closing lid 19 is attached to this garbage inlet 6 with screws 18, and a concealing plate 20 is attached between the lower end of the upper duct 15 and the upper surface of the main plate 4 to hide the gap. Further, the lower part of the lower duct 14 is inserted into the outer container 12 through the upper lid 21 that covers the upper part of the outer container 12, and the lower end of the lower duct 14 is located above the garbage receiving container 3. In the figure, reference numeral 22 denotes a fan attached to the upper lid 21, which is designed to exhaust the bad odor inside the outer container 12. But when it comes to leverage,
When putting food waste into the food waste receiving container 3, open the lid 19 to open the food waste inlet 6, put the food waste into the duct 5, and let it flow from the duct 5 into the food waste receiving container 3. It's something to put down. Here, since the food waste inlet 6 is located on the same surface as the indoor surface of the outer wall 1, there is no need to reach out to put food waste into the food waste inlet 6. In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the duct 5 is integrally formed, and a mounting flange 23 is extended from approximately the middle part of the duct 5, and a screw 18 is inserted through the mounting flange 23. The duct 5 is attached to the base plate 3 of the bay window 2 by screwing into the base plate 4. 26 is a seal packing that closes the gap between the duct 5 and the through hole 13 of the base plate 3.
6 and 7 show still another embodiment, in which the duct 5 is connected to a lower duct 14 and an upper duct 15.
An upper duct 15 is installed in a lower storage part 25 formed by dividing the bay window 2 into two parts and providing a shelf 24 in the bay window 2.
The opening of the lower storage section 25 and the upper duct 15
A front hidden plate 27 is installed between the outer periphery of the garbage inlet 6 and
Opening/closing lid 19 attached to garbage inlet 6
is designed to give the appearance that it is the door of the lower storage section 25 of the bay window 2.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention provides a method for installing a garbage receiving container outdoors at a position below a bay window provided on an outdoor outer wall, and installing a duct that vertically penetrates through the base plate of the bay window. Since the lower end faces above the garbage container, the duct for discharging garbage from indoors to the outdoor garbage container can be installed through the base plate of the bay window. This eliminates the need to make a hole in the outer wall of the duct, and the upper part of the duct is made to protrude above the base plate, and the upper part of the duct is bent toward the indoor side, and the opening at the upper end of the duct facing the indoor side is used as a garbage inlet. Therefore, the food waste inlet of the duct can be brought closer to the indoor side, and food waste can be easily thrown into the food waste inlet without having to particularly reach out. In other words, in the present invention, the duct is installed through the main plate of the bay window in order to eliminate the need to make a hole in the outer wall. By bending the upper part of the duct that protrudes upward toward the indoor side and using the upper end opening facing the indoor side as the garbage inlet, the garbage inlet of the duct can be brought closer to the indoor side and the garbage can be input to the garbage inlet. This makes it easy to put in food waste. In addition, the present invention locates the garbage inlet at a position that is approximately flush with the interior side of the outer wall, so it does not interfere with work on the kitchen sink or take up space on the sink. The garbage inlet can be moved closer to the inside of the room, making it easier to input garbage from the garbage inlet without causing any problems when working at the sink, improving work efficiency in the kitchen. Since a hidden plate is installed between the garbage inlet and the main plate of the bay window, it hides the gap between the garbage inlet and the main plate of the bay window, improving the appearance as seen from the inside of the room and preventing dust from accumulating. This prevents it from getting wet and dirty.
