2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 3, a conventional food waste disposal device has a drainage basket 2 provided under a sink 1 of a sink, and a draining basket 3 made of a porous material such as a punching plate or a wire mesh. There was a garbage in the basket. The lower part of the drain 2 has a shape like an inverted bowl and is a trap 4 which is usually called a "dog trap", and is configured to prevent odors and cockroaches from entering the sewage. In the above-mentioned device, the garbage was left in the draining basket 3 until it was collected, and then it was transferred to a polyethylene bag or the like, and although not shown, it was stored in the trash box for storage until the garbage collection date. In addition, the water flowed from the tap water 5 or the like to the sink 1 flows on the surface of the garbage, flows out from the holes of the drainage basket 3 and is discharged to the sewage through the trap 4.

[0003]

However, with the above-mentioned conventional structure, in general households, the garbage in the drainage basket 3 must be transferred to the bag 3 to 4 times a day, which is a very troublesome work for the housewife. there were. In addition, during this work, there is a case where the food waste is directly touched with hands, and harmful summer bacteria of the rotten food waste adhere to the hands in the summer when the temperature is high, which may cause food poisoning, which is dangerous. Also, all the water thrown away in the sink 1 touches the garbage, and as if washing the garbage, some of the garbage will dissolve into the water. In other words, the organic matter, which is the main component of the garbage, is mixed in the wastewater in proportion to the time that the garbage is left unattended, raising the BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) that is a measure of dirt in the wastewater and polluting the river. There is a problem that it may cause the load on the sewage treatment plant to increase. Furthermore, when the food waste is temporarily stored in the trash from the drainage basket 3, the odor is filled with odor due to decay, and the odor leaks out of the bin, and a large amount of odor is annoying when taking out on the day of collection. It was always the case.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to provide a food waste processing apparatus which reduces the amount of work for food waste disposal and is safe in terms of hygiene such as deodorization and spoilage control during temporary storage. Is.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, a garbage disposal according to the present invention comprises a drainage tube having an upper end opening and a bottom provided with a drainage opening having a garbage drop opening and a trap section. A partition valve attached to the lower part of the sink of the sink and connected to the drive unit to open and close the garbage drop opening is installed at the lower end of the garbage dumpling, and inside the drain pipe, there are multiple side walls above the garbage drop opening. A draining cylinder with a hole is provided, and a storage box with a temperature sensor is installed under the food waste drop port, and an ozonizer with a discharge port inside the storage box and linked to the temperature sensor and suction inside the storage box A deodorizing device is provided in communication with an ozone decomposing device having a mouth.

[0006]

According to the present invention, when the raw garbage is thrown into the draining cylinder at the time of generation, the moisture of the raw garbage flows through the holes on the side surface of the draining barrel, and the solid content and the moisture are separated. Next, when the sluice valve is opened by an appropriate means, either manually or mechanically, the garbage is dropped from the garbage dropping port into the bag and is stored in the storage case. At this time, the temperature sensor senses the ambient temperature inside the storage and the amount of ozone air determined by the ozonizer is directly discharged to the garbage according to the temperature level, deodorizing the internal atmosphere and degrading the garbage itself. While being suppressed, it is sucked into the ozone decomposer,
The circulation that is returned to the ozonizer again is repeated. That is, deodorization and spoilage prevention can be performed according to changes in seasons and environments. The detection method using a temperature sensor is much cheaper and more excellent in reliability and durability than an odor sensor made of an oxide semiconductor or the like.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 is a sink, and a drain pipe 6 having an open upper end is provided on the bottom of the sink. A raw garbage dropping port 7 and a drain port 8 are provided on the bottom of the drainage pipe 6, and a sluice valve 9 is provided below the raw garbage dropping port 7 and a drain port 8 is provided.
A trap 10 is provided in the lower part of the. Further, inside the drainage tube 6, there is provided a water draining tube 11 which is inserted from the food waste drop opening 7 at the upper end and is placed on the food waste drop opening 7. This cylinder has no bottom surface, and the side surface has a plurality of holes 12 formed therein. Further, the sluice valve 9 is moved left and right in FIG. Further, a storage box 15 in which a bag 14 is mounted is provided immediately below the food waste drop opening 7. Further, a temperature sensor 16 is provided on the upper part of the storage 15, and a discharge port 18 from the ozonizer 17 and a suction port 20 from the ozone decomposer 19 are open. Further, the ozonizer 17 and the ozone decomposer 19 are in communication with each other, and a deodorizing device 21 is formed by them. The ozonizer 17 is linked to the temperature sensor 16.

In the above structure, the garbage drainer 11 is used.
Water contained in the garbage flows out through the holes 12 on the side surface of the draining cylinder, and the drainage port 8 and the trap 1
It is drained through 0. That is, the water and solids in the food waste are separated as in the conventional food waste treatment device. Further, after the garbage is put in, when the drive unit 13 is driven to open the sluice valve 9 as shown in FIG. 2, the garbage is dropped by the gravity from the garbage dropping port 7 into the bag 14 and stored in the storage box 15. ..
After the garbage has fallen, close the sluice valve 9 and the
Returning to the above state, the draining tube 11 becomes a mere drainage passage, and the water discharged from the callan 5 is drainage port 8 and bowl trap 10.
Is led to the sewage via.

On the other hand, the temperature sensor 16 constantly monitors the temperature in the storage 15, and depending on the temperature level, the ozonizer 17 discharges a predetermined amount of ozone air through the discharge port 18 directly to the garbage. Suction port 20 while deodorizing and purifying the internal atmosphere and suppressing the decay of the garbage itself.
It is sucked into the ozone decomposing unit 19 through the and is returned to the ozonizer 17 again, and the circulation is repeated. The generation amount of ozone air is changed by adjusting the energization time or the applied voltage to the ozonizer 17 according to the temperature condition which changes depending on the season, and the energization time or the applied voltage to the ozonizer 17 is made larger in summer than in winter.

According to the configuration of this embodiment, the bag 14 is simply put into the draining cylinder 6 and the opening and closing of the sluice valve 9 is performed.
Since it is packed into the bag 14, it is not necessary to transfer the garbage to the bag 14, and the processing operation of the garbage is reduced. Also, the food waste is only touched at the time of input, and even if the food waste is touched, the food waste is a part of fresh food at this time and it is not spoiled, so it is hygienic. It is safe because it will not stain your hands with bacteria. In addition, since the garbage can be packed in the bag 14 by a simple operation of opening and closing the sluice valve 9 immediately after it is put in the draining cylinder 6, the contact time with the water flowing from the sink 1 is short, and the organic matter which is the main component of the garbage is short. The amount of sewage dissolved in the wastewater is small and the BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) is not increased, so that it does not pollute the river or increase the load on the sewage treatment plant. Also,
Garbage that is temporarily stored in the storage 15 until the collection day is deodorized according to the change in temperature that indicates the state of the seasonal environment, and at the same time, it is also prevented from decaying, resulting in discomfort even on the day of collection. Never give.
