Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce recycling cost of refuse by arranging the processing function such as drying in a refuse vessel. <P>SOLUTION: This refuse vessel 1 has an intermediate bottom 3 inside. The inside of the vessel is divided into upper-lower two divisions (a processing space 5 and a storage space 6) by this intermediate bottom. The intermediate bottom 3 can be pulled out to the front by holding a grip 3a. An upper surface of the refuse vessel 1 is blocked up by a hinge type input cover 10, and the refuse is inputted inside by opening this cover. A processing system 11 corresponding to a kind of receiving refuse is arranged in the processing space 5. When receiving plastic refuse after being washed by water, an electric hot air blower is installed inside the cover as the processing system 11, and the refuse is dried by blowing hot air upon the refuse. A discharge cover 12 for carrying out the refuse is arranged on a lower front face of the refuse vessel. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a garbage container used at home or business.

  In order to reduce the recycling cost of waste and promote recycling, it is important to sort by type from the initial stage in households and business establishments, and to discharge after processing according to the type of waste. For example, the garbage should drain moisture well. Empty bottles, empty cans, plastic containers, etc. are washed with water, drained, dried and then discharged. In addition, it is desirable to reduce the bulk of paper waste by compressing it.

  Conventionally, such a pre-disposal process has not been easy to use and is very troublesome and time consuming.

  This invention makes it a subject to provide processing functions, such as drying, in a garbage container, and to reduce the recycling cost of garbage.

The waste container according to the present invention is provided with an insole so that it can be pulled out, and the inside of the container is divided into an upper processing space and a lower storage space. In addition, an inlet for introducing waste into the processing space is provided in the upper part of the container, and an outlet for discharging waste in the storage space is provided in the lower part of the container.
In this waste container, the waste received in the upper compartment can be processed here, and the waste that has been processed can be stored by pulling out the inner bottom and dropping it in the lower compartment. The waste in the treatment space can be treated by heating, sterilization, compression and the like, and when heated and sterilized, it is provided with a hot air blower and a sterilization lamp. The waste in the processing space can be reduced in volume by pressing with a compression rod from above.

  Such a waste container can be disposed and stored in a single container, and therefore can save space and contribute to the recycling of waste.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the garbage container 1 is a vertically long box, and is connected to a set of three. In practice, 1 to 3 of these are used side by side. In this way, it is possible to sort up to nine types of garbage. Each garbage container 1 is provided with a display plate 2 to indicate the type of garbage received, for example, garbage, paper waste, plastic, aluminum,...

  As shown in FIG. 2, each garbage container 1 is provided with an insole 3 inside, and the inside of the container is divided into two upper and lower sections (processing space 5 and storage space 6) by this insole. The insole 3 has left and right side edges on rails 9 provided on the inner surface of the container, and can be pulled out to the front surface with a handle 3a. The upper surface of the garbage container 1 is closed with a hinge-type charging lid 10, and this is opened to put garbage into it. The thrown-in garbage is stored on the insole 3.

  The processing space 5 is provided with a processing device 11 corresponding to the type of waste to be received. The waste container shown in FIG. 2 accepts plastic waste after being washed with water, so an electric hot air blower is attached as a processing device 11 inside the lid, and hot air is blown into the waste to dry it. (FIG. 2A). In the case of odors such as garbage, a germicidal lamp can be installed instead of a hot air blower to suppress recent growth and prevent bad smell from becoming serious.

    There is a discharge lid 12 for carrying out the garbage at the lower front of the garbage container. The lid has a lower edge pivoted on the container and is open to the front.

  The usage of the waste container will be described with reference to FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2A, the input lid 10 is opened, and the waste is washed. In this way, warm air is blown from the warm air blower 11 to the garbage to dry it. When the water | moisture content of a garbage is removed, as shown in the figure (b), the lid | cover 10 will be opened and the compression rod 13 will be put in a container, and this will press a garbage and make a volume small.

  When the processing is completed in this way, the handle 3a is pulled and the insole 3 is pulled out. If it carries out like this, as shown in the figure (c), garbage will fall into the storage space 6, and will fit in the plastic bag 15 which was spread beforehand. Finally, as shown in FIG. 4D, the discharge lid 12 is opened, the garbage is taken out together with the bag, and is collected for garbage collection.

It is a perspective view of a garbage container. It is sectional drawing which shows the use condition of a garbage container.
