[0015]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing an embodiment of the present invention. 2A and 2B are explanatory views showing the shape of the main part of the embodiment, where FIG. 2A is a sectional view of the duct 3 and FIG. 2B is a perspective view of the duct 3 cut away. . Further, FIG.
[FIG. 3] is an explanatory view of another embodiment, and (A) or (B) is a cross-sectional view showing a duct 3 having different vibration devices 7.

In FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a food waste inlet provided by opening a wall surface. This slot 1
Is communicated with a food waste processing device body 2 installed outdoors by a duct 3 inclined downward.

As the main body 2 of the garbage processing apparatus, a microbial decomposition type is used. In addition to these, various types such as freeze-dried ones or those having a water draining device and taking out and discarding drained food waste can be used. In particular, in the case of the microbial decomposition type, the input food waste is decomposed by the microorganisms in the food waste processing apparatus main body 2 almost without stopping its appearance, and it is not necessary to incinerate or dispose of the food waste. Used, very convenient.

In these embodiments, at least the lower portion 3a of the inner peripheral surface of the duct 3 is formed in a corrugated shape in which the corrugated top portion is continuous in the longitudinal direction.

In any of the garbage disposals having any of the above structures, at least the lower part 3 of the inner peripheral surface
Since "a" has a corrugated shape, the friction between the thrown food waste and the corrugated inner peripheral surface of the duct 3 is small, and the surface smoothly slips and falls. Therefore, the garbage is less likely to adhere to and remain on the duct 3, and the maintenance of frequently cleaning the duct 3 is unnecessary, and the garbage disposal device is clean and easy to use.

In particular, when the main body 2 of the garbage disposal device is a microbial decomposition type main body 2, the entry of a large amount of water due to the cleaning of the duct 3 greatly affects the activity of the microorganisms and The garbage may not be decomposed properly. Therefore, reducing the maintenance for cleaning is particularly suitable when the microbial decomposition type food waste processing apparatus main body 2 is used.

The size of the duct 3 is about 24 in width.
It is 0 mm, and the distance from the top of the waveform to the next top is 6
It is 0 mm or less. If the length is 60 mm or more, the garbage enters the gap of the corrugation, and the friction when sliding down is large, which is not preferable.

The input port 1 is provided above the sink sink 9 and the openable / closable door 8 is provided to facilitate the input of garbage.

The duct 3 of the garbage processing apparatus of FIG. 1 will be described in detail below. 2A and 2B are views showing the shape of the duct 3, where FIG. 2A shows a cross section cut in the longitudinal direction, and FIG. 2B shows a section taken along the line AA ′ in FIG. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state when viewed obliquely from above.

In this figure, 4 is a cylindrical body having a rectangular cross section having a smooth inner wall surface, and a vinyl chloride pipe or the like is used. Then, the corrugated plate 5 made of the same vinyl chloride or the like is placed on the inner surface of the wall body 4a at a position corresponding to at least the lower portion 3a of the inner peripheral surface of the duct 3 of the tubular body 4, and
By fixing the contact portion 6 between the wall body 4a and the corrugated plate 5, the duct 3
Is formed.

Since the lower portion 3a of the inner peripheral surface of the duct 3 is formed in this way and has a corrugated shape, as described above, the frictional force between the thrown food waste and the inner surface of the duct 3 is small and the food waste is Smoothly slides and falls, and the wall body 4a and the corrugated plate 5 are fixed to each other at the contact portion, so that the strength of the duct 3 is improved.

It is also possible to form some through holes in the corrugated plate 5 of the duct 3 and blow air through the corrugated plate 5 by a compressor or the like so as to blow out the air through the through holes, thereby making it more difficult to attach garbage.

As described above, since the garbage transport function effectively works in this duct 3 and the garbage moves smoothly, it may be formed to be substantially horizontal, and it is constructed in this way. By this, the height up to the upper end of the duct 3 can be formed low.

Further, the effect of reducing the friction between the food waste and the wall surface of the duct 3 is particularly necessary for the lower portion 3a of the inner peripheral surface of the duct 3, and it is particularly preferable to form a corrugated shape in this portion. . However, the position where this corrugated shape is formed is not limited to only the lower portion 3a of the inner peripheral surface of the duct 3, and it is formed on the entire inner peripheral surface as necessary, and the garbage is attached to the entire inner peripheral surface. It may be difficult to do.

Incidentally, such a corrugated shape of the inner peripheral surface may be formed by omitting the corrugated plate 5 and punching the inner wall of the cylindrical body 4, or a columnar shape having a substantially semicircular cross section. It may be formed by attaching a body. Alternatively, by replacing a part or all of the wall body forming the tubular body 4 with the corrugated plate 5,
The outer surface and the inner surface of the duct 3 may have the same corrugation.

Another duct 3 will be described below with reference to FIG. The duct 3 in this figure has a vibrating device 7 for vibrating the lower portion 3a of the inner peripheral surface thereof, and (A) and (B) are different vibrating devices 7 respectively.
It is sectional drawing which showed the duct 3 which has.

The vibrating device 7 shown in (A) has a solenoid attached to the lower portion 3a of the duct 3 as the vibrating device 7. When the door 8 is opened, a current is applied to the solenoid for 0.5 seconds. It is controlled by the control unit so that it flows for about 5 minutes at intervals. In other words, the solenoid strikes and vibrates the lower portion 3a of the duct 3 at intervals of 0.5 seconds, whereby the garbage moves toward the food waste processing apparatus main body 2 without adhering. In addition to the solenoid, the lower part 3 of the duct 3 is connected by a motor and a cam.
It is also possible to tap a.

Further, the vibrating device 7 shown in (B) is equipped with a parts fader using a piezoelectric element instead of the solenoid. Also in this case, the lower part 3a of the duct 3 is correspondingly opened by the parts fader in response to the opening of the door 8.
Is controlled by the control unit so as to vibrate for about 5 minutes.

By vibrating the lower portion 3a of the inner peripheral surface of the duct 3 in this way, the sliding movement of the garbage becomes smoother in addition to the friction reducing effect due to the above-mentioned corrugated shape.

[0034]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the frictional force between the thrown food waste and the corrugated inner peripheral surface of the duct is small and the product smoothly slides and falls, the food waste does not adhere to the duct. It is surely put in the garbage processing equipment body. Therefore, the odor caused by the garbage left attached to the duct is reduced, and hygienic and comfortable garbage processing can be performed.
In addition, the maintenance work for removing the attached garbage by cleaning the inside of the duct is frequently released.

According to the second aspect of the invention, the duct having improved strength is formed by the structure in which the wall body and the corrugated plate are fixed at the contact portion.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the vibrating device smoothes the sliding movement of the food waste, so that the food waste can be more reliably thrown into the food waste processing apparatus main body without being attached to the duct.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the introduced garbage is decomposed by the microorganisms in the garbage treating apparatus main body with almost no appearance. Therefore, it is convenient because it does not require human labor such as incinerating or discarding garbage.
