Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a garbage disposal device, and more specifically,
The present invention relates to a kitchen waste disposal device capable of directly dumping kitchen waste discharged from a kitchen into a garbage bag or the like.

[Conventional technology]

Many kitchen waste processing apparatuses for crushing and dehydrating kitchen garbage have already been proposed, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-26345 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-345.
2-234555 publication etc. are mentioned.

That is, in these conventional examples, a crushing blade and a dehydration basket are coaxially provided in a casing connected to the lower part of the garbage throwing port of the sink, and the discarded garbage is crushed by the crushing blade, and The contained water is dehydrated in a dewatering basket that rotates at a high speed, and then collected in a dust box.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, first of all, there is a problem in terms of safety. In other words, since it is the same as the mixer in principle, putting your hand in it may cause serious injury. In order to prevent such accidents, double and triple safety measures are necessary, and cost increase is inevitable. Further, when a metal such as a spoon or a knife is accidentally thrown away, there is a defect that the crushing blade is chipped or the tableware is damaged. Furthermore, since the crushing blade and the dehydration basket both rotate at high speed, a large amount of noise is generated.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, a cylindrical kitchen waste container having a kitchen throwing port provided at the bottom of the sink, and an upward rise at a predetermined angle from the bottom of the kitchen waste container, and the kitchen waste at its lower end. A carrier pipe having an intake port and an garbage outlet formed at the upper end, a screw inserted in the carrier pipe, a driving means for rotating the screw, and a container connected to the bottom of the receiving container. And a pipe-shaped cutter for cutting the garbage between the screw blade and the spiral blade of the screw, and the cutter at the edge of the garbage intake. A cutter cover that forms a wedge-shaped kitchen waste introduction space is provided in front of the.

[Action]

The garbage dumped in the garbage receiving container is taken into the transport pipe from the kitchen intake by the rotation of the screw,
The screw conveys the waste toward the garbage outlet.
In this case, since a wedge-shaped kitchen waste introduction space is formed by the cutter cover in front of the cutter,
The kitchen waste is surely guided to the cutter. Water contained in the kitchen waste is drained in the course of conveyance by the screw. After that, the kitchen waste is discharged from the kitchen waste outlet into a garbage bag set in advance at the kitchen waste outlet.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, this kitchen waste processing apparatus is provided with a tubular kitchen waste container 3 having a kitchen waste inlet 2 provided at the bottom of a sink 1. A draining basket 4 made of metal or synthetic resin is detachably housed in the garbage receiving container 3.

At the bottom of the garbage receiving container 3, there is provided a conveying pipe 5 which rises obliquely upward from the same portion at a predetermined angle. At the lower end of the carrier pipe 5, a kitchen intake port 5a that opens to the bottom of the kitchen container 3 is formed, and at the upper end of the carrier pipe 5, a kitchen discharge port 5b is provided.

A screw 6 is rotatably inserted in the carrier pipe 5. A motor 7 for rotating the screw 6 is attached to the lower end side of the carrier pipe 5. However, the motor 7 may be provided on the upper end side of the transport pipe 5.

The lower end of the drainage basket 4 is fitted around the kitchen intake 5a of the carrier pipe 5. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, the screw 6 has a kitchen winding side (screw 6 in this example). The left wall 4a of the water draining basket 4 arranged on the left end side in FIG. 2 due to the counterclockwise rotation has a shape which rises almost vertically from the garbage winding end A thereof.
Preferably, it is the tangential direction at the garbage winding end A of the screw 6, but the screw 6 may be opened slightly outward. On the other hand, the right wall 4b of the draining basket 4
Is formed so that its lower part bulges outward.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a pipe-shaped cutter 10 for cutting garbage with the spiral blade 6a of the screw 6 is provided in the carrier pipe 5. The cutter 10
Preferably, the screw 6 is arranged on the rear side of the garbage intake port 5a in the garbage transfer direction, and a cutter cover 11 is covered around the screw intake port 5a. In this case, the cutter cover 11 forms a part of the kitchen intake 5a, but the edge 11
A taper 11b that forms a wedge-shaped kitchen waste introduction space S is provided in front of the cutter 10 on the inner surface side of a. Also,
Referring to FIG. 4 in which the plane of the kitchen waste intake port 5a is shown, the edge 11a of the cutter cover 11 converges like a funnel toward the kitchen waste transfer direction of the screw 6 so as to drive the kitchen waste in the center. It is shaped to 3 and 4, the lower end of the screw 6 has a large diameter, but it should be understood that this is a modification of the screw shown in FIG.

Although not shown in detail, in order to efficiently drain water from the kitchen waste, the volume inside the transport pipe 5 is gradually reduced toward the upper end thereof. As the method, the diameters of the conveying pipe 5 and the screw 6 are gradually decreased as they go upward, or the shaft diameter of the screw 6 is increased. Further, there is a method of making the spiral pitch of the screw 6 dense. In this example, in the transport pipe 5, drained water is efficiently returned to the garbage receiving container 3 and a slit groove that acts as a resistance against the kitchen waste rotating integrally with the screw has its axis line. An appropriate number is formed along the direction.

A garbage bag 8 made of a resin film is attached to the garbage discharge port 5b of the transport pipe 5 by a fitting 9 having a tubular shape, for example. In this device, the garbage bag 8 is placed in a case 13 provided on the front surface of the sink 1, for example.
In this case, the case 13 is swingably supported by a hinge 14 provided on the lower portion on the back side thereof. Further, a magnetic plate 15 is provided on the upper rear side of the case 13, a magnet 16 facing the plate 15 on the housing side of the device, and a micro switch 17 that turns on and off depending on the inclination angle of the case 13. Are arranged.

Referring again to FIG. 2, at the bottom of the kitchen container 3,
A drain pipe 12 for discharging the waste water in the container is connected. In this case, the drainage pipe 12 is provided with a trap 12a for holding the liquid level of the waste water stored in the garbage receiving container 3 above the garbage intake 5a.

Next, the operation of this device will be described. First, the case
The lid 13a of 13 is opened, and the garbage bag 8 is attached to the garbage discharge port 5b of the transport pipe 5 by the attachment 9 and the lid 13a is closed. At this time,
Since almost no weight is applied to the case 13, the case 13 is attracted and held by the magnet 16 in a proper posture, and the micro switch 17 is turned on. This state is maintained until garbage of a predetermined weight is collected in the dust bag 8.

When the kitchen waste is thrown in through the kitchen waste input port 2 and the screw 6 is rotated by the motor 7, the kitchen waste is transported in the transport pipe 5 by the screw 6, drained in the middle thereof, and then the garbage bag 8b is discharged from the kitchen waste outlet 5b. Is discharged inside. In this case, since the wedge-shaped kitchen waste introduction space S is formed in front of the cutter 10, the kitchen waste is reliably guided to the cutter without being rebounded upward, and the large kitchen waste is finely cut to convey the pipe 5 Taken in. In this way, the kitchen waste is discharged from the kitchen discharge port 5b into the garbage bag 8. However, when the weight becomes heavy, the case 13 causes the magnet 16 to move.
Tilt to the front side of the device against the suction force of. As a result, the micro switch 17 is turned off, the motor 7 is stopped, and a notification means such as a buzzer (not shown) notifies that the dust bag 8 is full.

Since the kitchen waste inlet 5a is submerged in the waste water stored in the kitchen receiving container 3, a bad odor or a strange odor generated in the garbage bag 8 does not flow back to the sink 1.

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the present invention, since it uses a screw, it is safer than the conventional crushing blade and the operation noise is quiet. Further, since the wedge-shaped kitchen waste introduction space is provided in front of the cutter, the kitchen waste can be reliably taken into the cutter portion, and therefore a relatively large kitchen waste can be processed within a short time.
