Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention is a method of putting raw garbage directly into a sink installed in a kitchen at home or in a restaurant, hotel, hospital, etc., packaging it in a bag, and heating and sterilizing the raw garbage. It relates to a processing device.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 3, a conventional kitchen waste disposal device has a drainage pipe 2 provided at the bottom of a sink 1 of a sink, and a drainage basket 3 made of a porous material such as a punched plate or wire mesh. There was a basket, and food waste was thrown into this basket. The lower part of the drain pipe 2 is a trap 4, which is configured to prevent odors from sewage and cockroaches from entering. In the above device, whenever food waste accumulates in the colander 3, it is transferred to a polyethylene bag, etc.
Although not shown, the items were placed in a trash can for storage until collection day. In addition, water flowing into the sink 1 from the tap water drain 5 or the like flows over the surface of the garbage, flows out from the holes in the draining basket 3, passes through the trap 4, and is drained into the sewer.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, with the above-mentioned conventional structure, the food waste in the colander 3 must be transferred to a bag three to four times a day in a typical household, which is a very troublesome task for housewives. there were. Additionally, during this work, workers sometimes come into direct contact with food waste, and in the hot summer months, harmful bacteria from the rotting food waste can adhere to their hands, which can lead to food poisoning. Furthermore, even in the garbage bins in which they are stored, the food waste begins to decompose and emit a foul odor, making it impossible to store it indoors, such as in the kitchen.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, reduce the amount of work involved in garbage disposal, and provide a sanitary and safe garbage disposal apparatus.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the food waste disposal device of the present invention connects the upper end of the food waste input cylinder, whose passage is divided into upper and lower parts by a gate valve, to the lower end of the sink of a sink. a bag is provided at the lower end of the garbage input tube, a storage container having a heating means is provided at a position surrounding the bag, and a water passage is provided on a side of the garbage input tube and above the gate valve; A drain tube having a drain port at the bottom is provided at a position surrounding the water port.

[0006]

[Function] According to the above-described structure, the moisture in the garbage flows into the drainage tube from the water outlet on the side of the garbage input tube, and solids and moisture are separated. Next, when the gate valve is opened, the food waste falls directly into the bag and is stored there. The bag is placed in a storage container that is heated by a heating means, and the food waste is also sterilized by heating.

[0007]

[Embodiments] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a sink, and a garbage input tube 6 with open upper and lower surfaces is provided at the bottom of the sink. The upper end of the garbage input cylinder 6 is an input port 7 for garbage, and the lower end 8 has a bag 9 made of polyethylene attached to the band 1.
It is fixed at 0. Further, a gate valve 11 is provided near the center of the garbage input tube 6 at right angles to the garbage input tube 6 to separate the tube into upper and lower sections. This gate valve 11 is driven by a motor 12. In addition, a water inlet 13 is opened on the side of the garbage input tube 6 above the gate valve 11.
A drainage tube 14 is provided on the side surface of the garbage input tube 6 so as to surround this hole. A drain port 15 is provided at the bottom of the drain pipe 14, and the drain port is connected to the sewer through a water pipe 16 connected to the drain port. The bag 9 is stored in a storage container 17 with a heat insulating material attached to its surface, and heated to 70°C by a heating device 18 using an electric heater and a control device 19 provided at the bottom of the storage container 17.
Maintained at ~100°C.

[0009] In the above structure, when food waste is put into the food waste input pipe 6, water contained in the food waste flows out into the drain pipe 14 through the water inlet 13. Therefore, water and solids in the garbage are separated in the same way as conventional garbage disposal equipment. Furthermore, if food waste accumulates in the food waste input tube 6, as shown in FIG. It is entered and stored. After the food waste has fallen, if the gate valve 11 is closed, the food waste input pipe 6 becomes a mere drainage passage, and the water coming out of the food waste pipe 5 is led to the sewer through the drain pipe 14, the drain port 15, and the drain pipe. . Further, the bag 9, that is, the garbage, is maintained at a temperature of 70°C to 100°C in the storage container 17.

[0010] According to the configuration of this embodiment, the food waste can be packed into a bag by simply putting it into the food waste input cylinder 6 and opening and closing the gate valve, so there is no need to transfer the food waste to the bag, and the food waste can be packed into a bag. Processing work is reduced. In addition, food waste is only touched when it is put in, and even if food waste is touched, at this point it is still part of the fresh food and has not rotted, so it is hygienic. It's safe because your hands won't get dirty with germs. Furthermore, the food waste is heated to 70°C to 1°C, where most of the putrefying bacteria are killed by the heating device 18.
Since the temperature is maintained at 00°C, putrefaction is suppressed, and odor caused by this can also be prevented.

[0011]

Effects of the Invention As explained above, the food waste processing apparatus of the present invention has the following advantages: (1) Since the food waste is directly packed into a bag once it is put into the food waste input tube, there is no need to transfer the food waste to the bag; Processing work is reduced. (2) Food waste is only touched when it is put in, and even if it is touched, it is sanitary because at this point it is part of fresh food and has not rotted. It's safe because your hands won't get dirty with germs. (3) Garbage is heated in the storage container by a heating device to a temperature of 70° C. or higher, which kills putrefactive bacteria, so that putrefaction is suppressed and the generation of odors due to this is also prevented.
