Description

  The present invention relates to a garbage disposal apparatus and a sink incorporating the garbage disposal apparatus.

Technical background

  Conventionally, as a garbage processing apparatus, various kinds of garbage generated at the time of cooking contain a large amount of moisture. Therefore, after this is stored in a drying chamber and moisture is reduced, it is processed in the processing chamber. However, such a method for treating garbage does not only require a lot of time to remove moisture, but also may cause an unpleasant environment due to the odor generated from the garbage. In order to eliminate such inconvenience, for example, in Patent Document 1, an input port for introducing garbage is provided on the worktop of the workbench, and an input port main body for guiding the input garbage is attached to the lower surface of the input port. It is disclosed that a waste container connected to the lower part is provided for receiving waste, and a means for sucking and exhausting the air in the waste container connected to the input port body is provided, and moisture and odor are removed. It has been shown. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-228561 discloses a soot processing apparatus that processes the soot by crushing and stirring it during or after drying in a drying chamber for storing soot. However, this dredging device does not specifically describe means for taking out the dry and crushed garbage.

Further, a garbage disposal device is incorporated in the sink and the garbage generated during cooking is immediately processed. For example, Patent Document 3 discloses a combustion furnace housed in a sink, a soot loading lid provided at the top of the combustion furnace, an exhaust pipe that penetrates the rear wall of the sink and extends to the outdoors, and a combustion furnace. A guide unit that can be pulled out to the front of the sink and a connector that circulates and connects the exhaust from the combustion furnace to the exhaust pipe. The connector is movable along with the combustion furnace, and is stored when the combustion furnace is stored. A so-called sink built-in type garbage processing apparatus is described in which a movable connection portion connected to the exhaust pipe allows the combustion furnace to be moved in the front-rear direction so that soot can be introduced without providing an open / close lid on the upper surface of the sink. ing. However, this sink built-in garbage disposal device is equipped with a purifier and a dilution case, and a through hole is made in the wall to exhaust the exhaust gas generated at the time of combustion. There is a problem that it has to be protruded, and there is no storage portion for storing the processed ash.
