Description

  The present invention relates to a garbage drying treatment apparatus, and more particularly to a device characterized by a structure for deodorizing and preventing insects in an exhaust passage.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various types of garbage processing apparatuses for processing garbage generated in a kitchen have been proposed.
A typical garbage disposal device called a hammer mill type disposer is provided under the kitchen sink and inside the cabinet. And then pulverized, and the pulverized product is discharged from the outlet together with the drainage.
For example, the following Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, and Patent Document 4 disclose such a disposer.

  However, in the case of a disposer as a garbage disposal device, the garbage is finely pulverized and discharged together with the waste water. Therefore, the apparatus for separating the solid waste from the waste water is large. In addition, there is a problem that the ground waste cannot be sufficiently separated from the waste water, and the waste water is contaminated with the ground waste, and if this is discharged as it is, the water quality is deteriorated.

On the other hand, without using such solid-liquid separation, wastewater containing crushed garbage is treated and purified in a biological treatment tank (drainage treatment tank).
However, the cost of the biological treatment tank is high, and construction costs are required to embed it in the ground. In addition, it is necessary to secure a place for installing the biological treatment tank. There is a problem in that maintenance such as drawing is costly.

On the other hand, there has also been proposed a garbage processing apparatus that cuts (crushes) the garbage generated in the kitchen into a coarsely cut state without pulverizing it.
If the raw garbage is roughly cut and treated in this way, it can improve the problem that the raw waste produced by crushing or grinding during fine pulverization dissolves into the wastewater and contaminates the wastewater. In addition, it is possible to easily separate solid waste from wastewater.

  However, in the case of this kind of garbage processing apparatus, since the garbage input through the drain outlet of the sink is crushed by using a crushing mechanism, a complicated mechanism or apparatus is necessary. As a result, there is an unavoidable problem that the equipment becomes large and expensive.

  Therefore, the present applicant has proposed in an earlier patent application (Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-21377: unpublished) an apparatus for drying and processing garbage without crushing.

  The garbage drying treatment apparatus includes (a) a garbage drying treatment container provided in a state connected to a drain outlet at the bottom of the sink, and (b) an opening of the drying treatment container is closed when the garbage is dried. A lid that is set in a state; (c) an air supply pipe that allows the drying air of the garbage to flow into the inside of the drying process container; (d) an exhaust pipe that discharges exhaust from the drying process container; and (e) a drying process. Air supply means for supplying the drying air into the container and exhausting the exhaust from the drying processing container, and (f) a drain pipe for discharging the wastewater that passed through the inside of the drying processing container, By performing supply and exhaust of air in a state where the garbage is accommodated inside the drying treatment container, the garbage is dried in the drying treatment container.

FIG. 12 shows a specific example thereof.
In FIG. 12, reference numeral 200 denotes a garbage drying processing container provided in a state connected to the drain outlet 204 of the sink 202, and 206 is set to close the opening of the drying processing container 200 during the garbage drying process. It is a lid.

It is an air supply means which performs supply of air and exhaust from the drying processing container 200.
Reference numeral 214 denotes a drain pipe for discharging the waste water that has passed through the inside of the drying processing container 200 to the outside. A trap portion 216 is provided on a drain path by the drain pipe 214.

Reference numeral 218 denotes a second drain pipe for discharging the sink waste water to the outside by bypassing the inside of the drying treatment container 200, and a trap portion 220 is also provided on the drain path by the second drain pipe 218.
The second drain pipe 218 communicates with a drain path by the drain pipe 214 on the secondary side (downstream side) of the trap portion 216.
In this example, the drying treatment container 200 has a drainage container 222 as an outer container and an inner container 224 that is detachably housed therein, and the above-mentioned air supply pipes 208, An exhaust pipe 210, a drain pipe 214, and a second drain pipe 218 are connected.

  In the apparatus shown in FIG. 12, odors from the sewage side to the drying treatment container 200 side by the trap portions 216 and 220 provided on the drainage path by the drainage pipe 214 and the drainage path by the second drainage pipe 218, respectively. Backflow into the kitchen space through the drain port 204 of the sink 202 can be prevented, and in addition, insects such as cockroaches can be prevented from entering the drying processing container 200 side.

  The garbage drying processing apparatus shown in FIG. 12 is for drying the garbage without crushing, but the dried garbage after the treatment can be handled in the same manner as normal garbage, It is possible to solve various problems due to the presence of garbage.

By the way, in the apparatus shown in FIG. 12, there is a possibility that odor reverse flow or pests from the sewage side may enter through the exhaust path by the exhaust pipe 210. Therefore, a check valve 226 is provided on the exhaust path by the exhaust pipe 210, It may be possible to prevent odor backflow and pest invasion.
However, there is a possibility that not only exhaust gas but also waste water enters the exhaust path by the exhaust pipe 210. In this case, the check valve 226 is contaminated with waste water or a part of garbage, and the valve is fixed by this. Therefore, it is not preferable to provide the check valve 216 on such an exhaust path.
Further, in the case of the garbage drying treatment apparatus shown in FIG. 12, in addition to the check valve on the exhaust path, two trap portions 216 and 220 are required on the drainage path, resulting in a complicated system structure. Is also inherent.

  The garbage drying processing apparatus shown in FIG. 12 is merely for drying garbage, but further promotes drying by stirring or crushing the garbage inside the drying container. In such a case, the same problem as described above occurs as long as the garbage is dried.

It is characterized by.

Effects and effects of the invention

  As described above, the present invention provides a drying processing container by forcibly supplying the drying air to the drying processing container and exhausting it from the drying processing container, regardless of whether the garbage is crushed or not. In a garbage drying treatment device that drys garbage inside, the exhaust pipe is inserted into the trap container so that the end part can enter and exit the sealed water, and the end part enters the sealed water. The trap part is formed together with the trap container, while the exhaust pipe is opened to the inner space of the trap container with the end part exposed on the surface of the sealed water, and is extended from the trap container and communicated with the sewage. In the case of this garbage drying processing apparatus, during the drying process, the exhaust pipe and the inner space of the trap container are connected through the exhaust pipe connected to the exhaust pipe. , In dry processing container The exhaust gas containing the garbage odors or water vapor or the like generated from can be favorably discharged to the outside of the.

On the other hand, by forming the trap part with the end of the exhaust pipe immersed in sealed water during non-drying treatment, it is possible to prevent odor from flowing backward from the sewage side to the drying treatment container side through the discharge pipe. It is possible to satisfactorily prevent pests from entering the drying treatment container side from the side.
According to the present invention, there is no need to provide a check valve on the exhaust path. Therefore, the check valve provided on the exhaust path is contaminated or stuck by dirty water that has entered the exhaust path. Can solve the problem.

  In the present invention, a drain pipe for discharging waste water that has passed through the inside of the drying treatment container is provided separately from the exhaust pipe, the drain pipe is inserted into the trap container, and the upper end is always immersed in the sealed water. In addition, a trap part can be formed (claim 2).

  In this way, even when a drain pipe is provided separately from the exhaust pipe, the trap section on the exhaust path by the exhaust pipe and the trap section on the drain path by the drain pipe can be connected to the common trap container. The system structure can be simplified.

  In the present invention, a second drain pipe for discharging the sink waste water by bypassing the inside of the drying treatment container is provided, the second drain pipe is inserted into the trap container, and its end portion is always kept in sealed water. It is possible to form the trap portion together with the trap container by dipping (claim 3).

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, it is convenient that the sink operation using water can be performed even during the drying process of the garbage, and even when such a second drain pipe is provided, the second drain pipe is used. The trap portion on the drainage path can be configured by a common trap container, and the configuration of the entire system can be simplified even when the second drainage pipe is further provided.

The fourth aspect of the present invention is that the exhaust pipe is configured as an exhaust drain pipe that also serves as a drain pipe.
The garbage drying processing apparatus according to claim 4 is configured with the following attention.
That is, in the garbage drying treatment apparatus of the present invention, the drain pipe does not drain during the garbage drying process, while the exhaust pipe does not act as an exhaust pipe during non-treatment.
Specifically, during the drying process of garbage, only exhaust through the exhaust pipe is performed and drainage through the drain pipe is not performed. On the other hand, during non-treatment, exhaust through the exhaust pipe is not performed, and sink drainage through the drain pipe is performed. Only the discharge is performed.
Therefore, the exhaust pipe and the drain pipe can be configured by a common pipe, and by doing so, the number of pipes can be reduced as compared with the case where the exhaust pipe and the drain pipe are provided separately. As a result, the system configuration can be further simplified.

  In this case, the end portion of the exhaust drainage pipe is configured in an elbow shape, and is driven to rotate between a downward posture, a lateral posture, and an upward posture by driving by the driving means. The trap part is formed by immersing it in sealed water in the downward position, while the interior is opened to the inner space of the trap container in the horizontal position, and in the upward position, the exhaust drainage pipe and the drying treatment container up to the upper end position. It is possible to store water in the inside (claim 5).

In the apparatus of claim 5, when the garbage is dried, the elbow-shaped end portion is placed in a horizontal posture so that the exhaust gas can be discharged through the exhaust pipe. In addition to being able to prevent trapping of odors from the sewage side and invasion of pests, the elbow-shaped end should be in an upward position. Thus, a certain amount of waste water can be stored in the exhaust drain pipe and the drying treatment container up to the upper end position, and the inside of the drying treatment container can be washed by keeping the water in the drying treatment container. It becomes possible.
In the present invention, the drying treatment container can lose the so-called sliminess by the drying treatment, and the discomfort caused by the slimming can be lost. However, such drying promotes sticking of dirt to the container itself.
However, in the present invention, for example, ultrasonic cleaning is performed in a state where water is stored in the drying treatment container, or cleaning is performed with acid or alkali, and this is cleaned using means such as microbubbles, hot water, and detergent. This makes it possible to keep the dry processing container clean.

Next, according to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the drying container is composed of a drainage container as an outer container and an inner container that is detachably accommodated therein, and according to the sixth aspect, the inner container is desorbed.

  In this embodiment, during the drying process of the garbage shown in FIG. 5, drainage from the inside of the drying process container 18 is not performed, but only the exhaust is performed. On the other hand, in the non-drying process shown in FIG. Therefore, the exhaust pipe and the drain pipe are configured as a common pipe, and this is configured as an exhaust drain pipe 88.

In this embodiment, when the garbage shown in FIG. 5 is dried, the end 88 </ b> A of the exhaust drainage pipe 88 is raised above the water surface of the sealed water H, and the exhaust drainage pipe 88 is a discharge pipe 69. Therefore, the drying air is forcibly supplied to the inside of the drying processing container 20 through the exhaust pipe 60, and the exhaust is forcibly discharged from the exhaust drain port 90, and the exhaust drain pipe 88 and Good discharge to the outside through the discharge pipe 69.
And thereby, the drying process with respect to the garbage accommodated in the drying process container 18 is performed.

  On the other hand, in the non-drying process of FIG. 6, the end 88A of the exhaust drain pipe 88 is in a position immersed in the sealed water H, that is, a lowered position, and the end 88A forms a trap portion 92 together with the trap container 66. In this case, the trap unit 92 satisfactorily prevents the odor from flowing back to the drying processing container 18 side from the sewage side through the discharge pipe 69 or the invading pests.

  According to this embodiment, since the exhaust pipe and the drain pipe are configured by a common pipe, the number of pipes can be reduced compared to the case where the exhaust pipe and the drain pipe are provided separately, and the system The configuration can be further simplified.

7 and 8 show still another embodiment of the present invention.
In this embodiment, as in the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the exhaust drainage pipe 94 is constituted by a common pipe, and an elbow is provided inside the trap container 66 as shown in FIG. The end portion 94A configured in a shape is rotated by the drive unit 96 between a downward posture shown in FIG. 9, a horizontal posture shown in FIG. 10, and an upward posture shown in FIG. It is an example.

Here, the drive unit 96 includes a motor 76, a toothed pulley 98 fixed to the output shaft thereof, and a toothed winding portion 100 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the horizontal tube portion of the end portion 94A and the pulley 98. And a toothed conductive belt 102 wound around the belt, and the rotational driving force of the motor 76 is transmitted to an end portion 94A configured in an elbow shape to rotate it.
The other points are the same as those of the embodiment shown in FIGS.

In this embodiment, FIG. 9 shows a state during non-drying treatment of the garbage, and at this time, the end portion 94A is in a downward posture and is immersed in the sealed water H inside the trap container 66. In this state, the end portion 94A forms the trap portion 92 together with the trap container 66 holding the sealed water H.
Therefore, in this state, it is possible to satisfactorily prevent the backflow of odor from the sewage side through the discharge pipe 69 or the entry of pests into the dry processing container 18 side.

  On the other hand, FIG. 10 shows a state during the drying process of the garbage. At this time, the drying air sent from the air supply fan 62 is supplied into the drying process container 18 from the air supply port 86, and the drying process container 18 18 passes through the garbage inside, and flows out from the exhaust drain port 90 and is discharged to the outside through the exhaust drain pipe 94.

That is, at this time, the end portion 94A is rotated within a range not exceeding 90 ° from the downward posture to the horizontal posture, the end portion 94A comes out on the surface of the sealing water H, and the inside of the exhaust drainage pipe 94 is trapped. The internal space of the container 66 and the exhaust pipe 69 are in communication with each other, and the exhaust from the drying processing container 18 is discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe 69.
That is, by ensuring the discharge of the exhaust gas, the supply air and the exhaust gas are discharged well through the air supply pipe 44, and the garbage inside the drying processing container 18 is properly dried by the drying air passing therethrough.

  On the other hand, FIG. 11 shows a state of a cleaning mode in which the inside of the drying processing container 18 is cleaned. At this time, the end portion 94A is in an upward (vertically upward) posture, and the exhaust drainage pipe 94 is discharged by drainage from the sink 12. A part of the waste water is accommodated and held up to the height of the upper end of the end portion 94A in the inside and the inside of the drying processing container 18, thereby forming a trap portion for preventing the reverse flow of odor and the invasion of pests, and drying. By storing the sink waste water inside the processing container 18, the inside of the drying processing container 18 and the inside of the exhaust drain pipe 94 can be washed with the stored water.

  For example, ultrasonic cleaning can be performed with water stored, or cleaning can be performed with acid or alkali, and the inside can be cleaned using means such as microbubbles, hot water, detergent, etc. 18 The inside can be cleaned.

The drying treatment container 18 can lose so-called slimming by the drying treatment, and can lose discomfort due to the slimming. However, when such drying is performed, sticking of dirt to the container itself is promoted.
However, in the present embodiment, it is possible to wash the water in a state where water is stored in the dry processing container 18, and thus it is possible to always keep the dry processing container 18 clean.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, these are merely examples.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, only the garbage is dried. However, in some cases, the garbage may be dried while being stirred inside the drying container, or the garbage may be provided by crushing means. The present invention can be configured in various modifications without departing from the spirit of the invention, such as drying treatment while crushing.
