A disposer mounting member having a mounting portion for mounting the portion, and a step portion for absorbing vibration provided in an intermediate portion thereof, wherein vibration (vertical vibration, lateral vibration) from the disposer is This has the effect that the step portion is freely bent and the vibration is hardly bent at the sink.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a mounting member for suspending the disposer from the bottom of the sink, comprising a cylindrical cushioning member having elasticity, and an upper end of the disposer being mounted at a lower end thereof. A disposer mounting member having a mounting portion and an inclined groove for absorbing vibration at an intermediate portion thereof, wherein vibrations (vertical sway, horizontal sway) from the disposer are inclined. This has the effect of being absorbed by the groove and not being transmitted to the sink.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a mounting member for suspending the disposer from the bottom of the sink, comprising a cylindrical cushioning member having elasticity, and an upper end of the disposer being mounted at a lower end thereof. A disposer mounting member having a mounting portion and a weight for absorbing vibration in an intermediate portion thereof.Vibration from the disposer is transmitted to the weight, but the inertia force of the weight is And it is difficult to transmit to the sink.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the upper end of the buffer member is mounted on a sink flange mounted on the bottom of the sink, and a free bending portion is secured between the upper end of the disposer and the sink flange. The flexible member is more flexible due to the free bending portion.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the disposer mounting member according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, wherein a reinforcing wire is inserted into the cushioning member, and the elastic member is inserted by inserting a reinforcing wire or the like. The thickness of the cushioning member having the above can be made as small as possible, whereby the cushioning member can be freely bent, so that it is difficult to transmit vibration to the sink.

Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a side sectional view of a disposer according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. 1, the same elements as those of the conventional disposer shown in FIG. 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. The disposer is attached to the sink bottom 12 via a sink flange 16 and a cylindrical cushioning member 20. The buffer member 20 is made of an elastic material such as rubber. Hopper 4
The upper end of the buffer member 20 is mounted on the mounting portion 20a at the lower end of the buffer member 20.
6, the disposer is suspended from the bottom 12 of the sink. The length of the buffer member 20 in the vertical direction is longer than that of the conventional buffer member 17, a step portion 21 is formed in the middle portion over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction, and the bottom of the sink flange 16 and the upper end of the hopper 4 are formed. A free bendable portion 22 is secured between the portions. This step 2
1 and the free bending portion 22 ensure that the disposer has a high degree of freedom in bending in the vertical and horizontal directions.

The operation of the disposer configured as described above will be described below. First, garbage is thrown in from the slot 10 of the disposer. Next, tap 1
The motor 1 is started while opening 4 and flowing water, and the rotating plate 6 is brought into a rotating state. Then, the hammers or the rotary blades 7 and 8 rotate together with the rotary plate 6, and the tips of the hammers 7 and 8 face the inner surface of the fixed blade 3 due to centrifugal force. The thrown garbage is pressed against the fixed blade 3 by centrifugal force caused by the rotating motion of the rotating plate 6, the hammer or the rotating blades 7, 8. The portion of the garbage that is in contact with the fixed blade 3 is stopped by the groove 9, and the portion that is not in contact with the fixed blade 3 is rotated by the hammer or the rotary blades 7, 8. At this time, the disposer generates vibration, and the vibration is transmitted to the buffer member 20. Since the buffer member 20 is provided with the step portion 21 and the free bending portion 22 over the entire circumference, the buffer member 20 itself is easily contracted up and down, and is easily bent, so that both the vertical and horizontal swing of the disposer can be absorbed.

FIG. 2 is a data diagram of vibration and noise of the disposer according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The data of vibration and noise of the sink by the stepped buffer member 20 and the vibration and noise of the sink by the conventional buffer member 17 are shown. The data of noise is shown. It should be noted that the provision of the spiral groove in the cushioning member 20 provides the same and more advantageous effects.

(Embodiment 2) FIG. 3 is a side sectional view of an upper portion of a disposer according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In FIG. 3, the cushioning member 23 has a substantially cylindrical shape that expands downward and has an inclined groove 24 that expands outward at an intermediate portion. Also, a free bending portion 25 similar to the free bending portion 22 is secured. Also, a wire 26 is inserted and mounted on the buffer member 23, and the thickness of the buffer member 23 is formed as thin as possible. 23a is a buffer member 23
Is a mounting portion at the upper end of the hopper 4 formed at the lower end of the hopper.

The operation of the disposer configured as described above will be described below. First, garbage is thrown in from the slot 10 of the disposer. Next, tap 1
The motor 1 is started while opening 4 and flowing water, and the rotating plate 6 is brought into a rotating state. Then, the hammers or the rotary blades 7 and 8 rotate together with the rotary plate 6, and the tips of the hammers 7 and 8 face the inner surface of the fixed blade 3 due to centrifugal force. The thrown garbage is pressed against the fixed blade 3 by centrifugal force caused by the rotating motion of the rotating plate 6, the hammer or the rotating blades 7, 8. The portion of the garbage that is in contact with the fixed blade 3 is stopped by the groove 9, and the portion that is not in contact with the fixed blade 3 is rotated by the hammer or the rotary blades 7, 8. At this time, the disposer generates vibration, and the vibration is transmitted to the buffer member 23, but a wire 26 is inserted into the buffer member 23 to support the load of the disposer, and the thickness of the buffer member 23 is reduced. Because
The cushioning member 23 itself is easy to sway laterally, and the swaying and vibration of the disposer can be more effectively absorbed together with the inclined groove portion 24 and the free bending portion 25. In addition, as the wire 26 for supporting the load of the disposer, carbon fiber, nylon, other chemical fibers, or the like can be used. Note that the cushioning member 2
3 is more effective if the thickness is 3 mm or less,
The effect is greater as the wall thickness is smaller.

(Embodiment 3) FIG. 4 is a side sectional view of an upper portion of a disposer according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. In FIG. 4, a weight 28 is embedded and mounted in the middle of the buffer member 27. 27a is a mounting part. The weight 28 only needs to have a specific gravity greater than that of the buffer member 27, and is preferably iron or the like. Further, a free bending portion 29 similar to the free bending portion 22 is secured.

The operation of the disposer configured as described above will be described below. First, garbage is thrown in from the slot 10 of the disposer. Next, tap 1
The motor 1 is started while opening 4 and flowing water, and the rotating plate 6 is brought into a rotating state. Then, the hammers or the rotary blades 7 and 8 rotate together with the rotary plate 6, and the tips of the hammers 7 and 8 face the inner surface of the fixed blade 3 due to centrifugal force. The thrown garbage is pressed against the fixed blade 3 by centrifugal force caused by the rotating motion of the rotating plate 6, the hammer or the rotating blades 7, 8. The portion of the garbage that is in contact with the fixed blade 3 is stopped by the groove 9, and the portion that is not in contact with the fixed blade 3 is rotated by the hammer or the rotary blades 7, 8. At this time, the disposer generates vibration, and the vibration is transmitted to the buffer member 27. However, since the buffer member 27 has the built-in weight 28, the vibration is attenuated by the inertia of the weight 28, and the vibration transmitted to the sink is more. It is further reduced.

[0021]

According to the first aspect of the invention, the vibration from the disposer is attenuated by the step, and the transmission of the vibration to the sink can be reduced.

According to the second aspect of the invention, the vibration from the disposer is attenuated by the inclined groove, and the transmission of the vibration to the sink can be reduced.

According to the third aspect of the invention, the vibration transmitted from the disposer is attenuated by the inertia force of the weight, and the transmission of the vibration to the sink can be reduced.

According to the fourth aspect of the invention, the vibration can be further reduced by securing a freely bendable portion.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, by inserting a reinforcing member such as a wire, the thickness of the cushioning member can be extremely reduced, so that the cushioning member can freely vibrate in the lateral direction. Therefore, transmission of the vibration of the disposer to the sink can be reduced.
