Description

  The present invention relates to a waste disposal container. More specifically, when throwing waste such as garbage into the container, it is more reliable than the conventional one that the bad odor generated inside the container leaks to the outside or the fly jumps out from the inside. The present invention relates to a waste disposal container that can prevent the user from feeling uncomfortable.

  For example, waste such as garbage and disposable diapers generated in the kitchen of a household are classified as burnable garbage, and are collected and incinerated by the local government. However, in recent years, due to increasing social environmental awareness, as one of the environmental conservation measures to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emission by reducing the amount of incineration of garbage, especially in the case of raw garbage, Composted and used as fertilizer for vegetable gardens.

  Compost is known as composting garbage. Compost composts garbage using microorganisms that naturally exist in the soil, but before the garbage is composted, a bad odor is generated inside the compost and leaks outside, or the lid is covered. There were problems with hygiene, such as flies jumping out when opening, and the user sometimes felt uncomfortable. As a solution to this problem, for example, there is a composting container disclosed in Patent Document 1.

  This composting container is provided with an inlet on the upper surface of the container, an inner lid that serves both as a lid and a dust receiver can be opened and closed at the inlet, and an outer lid that covers the inlet is provided at the top of the container. The lid can be opened / closed from the outside with the outer lid covered, preventing odor leakage and fly jumping out when throwing in garbage, so that the user does not feel uncomfortable It is to make.

JP-A-9-77579

The composting container is effective as compared with compost that is simply provided with an input port and has no special measures, but has caused the following new problems.
That is, the inner lid on which dust is once placed must be formed of a relatively rigid material. For this reason, when dropping the dust placed on the inner lid body, the components of the inner lid body open and close while maintaining its shape, so the opening portion of the inner lid body also has a large portion through which the dust does not pass. It will open.

  Moreover, a space of a certain size must be provided between the inner lid and the outer lid in order to place dust. Therefore, when dropping the trash placed on the inner lid body, it is impossible to prevent a bad odor from being filled in the space between the inner lid body and the outer lid or to prevent flies from entering. For this reason, when the outer lid is opened when the trash is next thrown in, the user still feels uncomfortable due to the stink and flies that have accumulated in the space.

  Therefore, the object of the present invention is to ensure that when the garbage is put into the container, the bad odor generated inside the container leaks to the outside or the fly jumps out from the inside more reliably than the conventional one. It is an object of the present invention to provide a waste disposal container that can prevent the user from feeling uncomfortable.

It is a waste disposal container provided with.

The waste disposal container of the present invention is
It is more preferable to provide an attaching / detaching means for enabling the separator to be attached to and detached from the container.

  The “pull means” referred to in the claims and specification has a structure utilizing the weight of a weight suspended by a hanging strap, for example, elastic rubber, biasing force of a coil spring, or flexibility. Although the structure using the biasing force of the member can be mentioned, it is not limited to these.

(Function)
The operation of the waste disposal container according to the present invention will be described. Note that, here, each constituent element of the present invention is given and described in correspondence with the reference numerals given to the respective parts in the embodiments described later, but this provision of reference numerals is only for easy understanding of the explanation. However, it does not mean that the constituent elements are limited to the above-described parts.

In the normal state, the separator (2) attached to the opening (120) of the container (1) of the waste treatment container has two opposing faces near the drop port (25) on the lower side from the input port (20). The part is pulled by the pulling means (3,4), and the pulling force (tension) closes and closes the drop port (25) on the lower side of the separator (2) over the entire width. In addition, the magnet body (23, 24) is provided in two locations in the vicinity of the drop port (25) on the lower side from the inlet of the separator (2), the magnet body (23, 24) A part of the lower side of the separator (2) is in close contact with each other and closed by the magnetic force between them.
As a result, it is possible to prevent the bad odor generated inside the container (1) from leaking to the outside and the fly from jumping out.

  When waste such as garbage is thrown into the inlet (20) of the separator (2), the drop opening (25) that has been tightly closed in the separator (2) due to the weight of the waste is pulled. 3,4) is pushed out against the pulling force, so that the waste falls into the container (1) from the drop port (25) at the bottom of the separator (2). At this time, the flexible separator (2) is deformed flexibly so as to follow the shape of the waste passing therethrough by the pulling force of the pulling means (3, 4) to form the drop opening (25). In addition, the magnet body (23, 24) provided at two locations opposite to the lower side from the inlet of the separator (2) is closed by the magnetic force between the magnet bodies (23, 24). The drop opening (25) is pushed out against the magnetic force by the weight of the thrown-in waste, and similarly forms a drop opening.

  As a result, unlike the conventional compost container, it does not open up to a portion where the waste does not pass, and the bad odor generated inside the container (1) is not generated even when the waste is charged. It is possible to prevent leaks and flies jumping out.

  Waste disposal containers equipped with attachment / detachment means (121, 123) that allow the separator (2) to be attached to and detached from the container (1) should be replaced with new ones even if the separator (2) is torn or deteriorated. Can do.

  The pulling means is suspended by the hanging string (3) in the container (1), and the separator (2) can be pulled by a force that moves by gravity in the direction in which the hanging string (3) is in the vertical direction. The waste disposal container provided with the weight (4) can always exert a pulling force by utilizing the gravity applied to the weight (4).

According to the present invention, when waste is introduced into the inlet of the separator, the flexible separator is flexibly deformed so as to follow the shape of the waste that passes by the pulling force of the pulling means. Form. Also, if the separator is provided with two magnets facing each other, it is deformed flexibly so as to follow the shape of the waste that passes by the magnetic force between the magnet bodies having deformability. Form. As a result, unlike the conventional compost container, there is no case where the waste does not open to a portion where the waste does not pass.
Therefore, when throwing waste into the container, it is possible to prevent the bad odor generated inside the container from leaking to the outside and the fly jumping out from the inside more reliably than the conventional one. Can provide a waste disposal container that does not feel uncomfortable.

The perspective explanatory drawing of the isolation body attached to the opening part of a container. The perspective explanatory drawing which shows the other example of a separator. II sectional drawing of FIG.

  The present invention will be described in detail based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional explanatory view showing an embodiment of a waste disposal container according to the present invention,
FIG. 2 is an explanatory plan view showing an embodiment of a waste disposal container according to the present invention,
FIG. 3 is an explanatory perspective view of the separator attached to the opening of the container.

The waste disposal container A can be used for storing filth such as disposable diapers in addition to the composting of straw such as raw garbage.
The waste disposal container A includes a container 1 made of a synthetic resin, a separator 2 made of a synthetic resin sheet, and a weight 4 suspended by a hanging strap 3.
The container 1 includes a lower container 11 having a circular shape in plan view that is open on the upper side, and an upper container 12 that is detachably crowned at the opening of the lower container 11.

An insole member 13 made of synthetic resin is placed on the bottom surface 110 of the lower container 11. The midsole member 13 has a disk-shaped midsole plate 130. A plurality of leg members 131 for providing the storage space 111 between the bottom plate 130 and the bottom surface 110 are provided on the lower surface side of the bottom plate 130. The middle bottom plate 130 is provided with a large number of liquid passage holes 132 penetrating the upper and lower surfaces.
Further, on the bottom side of the lower container 11, when the waste is raw garbage, a drain cock 112 is provided for discharging the fermented liquid that accumulates in the storage space 111 during the fermentation (composting).

  A circular opening 120 is formed in the upper part of the upper container 12. A locking wall 121 is provided at the rim of the opening 120 so as to protrude upward from the upper surface 122 at the same height as required. A fixing member 123 is detachably fitted into the locking wall 121. The fixture 123 is formed in a circular shape having an opening 124 having the same size as the opening 120 at the center, and is fitted on the outer side (larger diameter side) than the inner peripheral surface and sandwiched between two walls. The part 125 is fitted into the locking wall 121 and fixed. The locking wall 121 and the fixture 123 constitute an attaching / detaching means that enables the separator 2 described later to be attached to and detached from the upper container 12.

  The separator 2 is formed of a flexible synthetic resin film in a cylindrical shape (or tube shape) having a required length. The size of the separator 2 when it is inflated (the diameter when it is inflated to a circular cross section) is such that the separator 2 is passed through the opening 120 of the upper container 12 and the upper edge of the separator 2 is locked to the locking wall. The size is set so that the inner hook can be folded back to the outside. The separator 2 has a locking wall so that the fixing member 123 is sandwiched between the fitting part 125 and the locking wall 121 with the upper edge thereof being hooked on the locking wall 121 as described above. 121 is fixed in place. Thereby, an inlet 20 having the same size as the opening 120 of the upper container 12 is formed in the upper part of the separator 2.

  The lower end of the separator 2 is set to a length that can be extended to the vicinity of the lower opening of the upper container 12 as shown in FIG. On the inner surface side of the peripheral wall 126 of the upper container 12, the weight 4 is suspended by the hanging strap 3 at two opposite positions (positions forming an angle of 180 ° in the circumferential direction). The weight 4 is made of metal, and a clip 40 for attaching to the separator 2 is provided integrally. Each weight 4 is attached to two opposite positions (positions forming an angle of 180 ° in the circumferential direction) on the lower end portion of the separator 2 by being sandwiched between clips 40.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the length of each suspension strap 3 and the attachment position with respect to the peripheral wall 126 separate the separators 2 from each other by the force with which the weights 4 are moved by gravity in the direction in which the suspension strap 3 becomes vertical. It is set or adjusted so that it can be pulled in the direction. The weight 4 having the clip 40 and the hanging strap 3 constitute a pulling means.

  Further, since the clip 40 sandwiching the separator 2 has a relatively wide width, the lower end portion of the separator 2 has a relatively wide width in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. The closely contacted part 21 can be formed. Thereby, for example, as in the case where each weight is attached to the separator with a point, the sealing performance is sufficiently ensured as compared with the case where the contact portion having a relatively narrow width is formed.

  It should be noted that the force that pulls the separator 2 away from each other at two opposite positions by the weights 4 suspended by the hanging strap 3 can normally close the separator 2 as described above. The strength is set so that it can be opened when the part is expanded by the input (waste). Moreover, although the outer lid is not provided in this embodiment, for example, an outer lid (not shown) that can be detachably fitted to the fixture 123 can be provided.

(Function)
The operation of the waste disposal container A will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the normal state, the separator 2 attached to the opening 120 of the container 1 of the waste disposal container A has two weights 4 which are suspended by the hanging strap 3 at two opposite positions on the lower side from the insertion port 20. Thus, a part of the lower side of the separator 2 is brought into close contact with the entire width by this pulling force to form a close contact portion 21 and closed. In this state, the inside and outside of the container 1 are separated by the separator 2 and the inside of the container 1 is in a sealed state.

  Thereby, even if a bad odor or a fly is generated inside the container 1, it is possible to prevent the bad odor from leaking to the outside or the fly jumping out. When the inside of the container 1 is hermetically sealed, for example, when garbage is thrown in as waste, the humidity inside the container 1 is kept at a high humidity (for example, 65% or more) along with fermentation of the garbage. Since the molting of larvae to adults is inhibited, the generation of flies can be suppressed as a result.

  Then, when waste is introduced into the inlet 20 of the separator 2, the close contact portion 21 that is in close contact with the lower portion of the separator 2 is closed by the weight of the waste against the pulling force of each weight 4. As a result, the waste falls into the lower container 11 from the drop opening 25 formed in the lower part of the separator 2. At this time, the flexible separators 2 formed of a synthetic resin film are flexibly deformed so as to conform to the shape of the waste passing therethrough by the pulling force of the weights 4 to form the drop openings 25.

  Thereby, unlike the conventional compost container, the drop opening 25 at the lower part of the separator 2 is not greatly opened to other parts through which the waste does not pass. Therefore, even when a waste odor or a fly is generated inside the container 1, the odor can be prevented from leaking to the outside or the fly jumping out.

  In addition, when the separator 2 deteriorates or tears with use, it can be replaced with a new one. Specifically, first, the upper container 12 is removed from the lower container 11, then each weight 4 is removed from the separator 2, and the fixture 123 is further removed from the locking wall 121, so that the separator 2 is removed from the upper container 12. Can be removed. The attachment of the new separator 2 can be carried out in the generally reverse procedure.

FIG. 4 is a perspective explanatory view showing another example of the separator,
5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II of FIG.

  The separator 2a is attached to the opening 120 of the upper container 12 on the upper inlet 20 side in the same manner as the separator 2 described above. At the lower end of the separator 2a, a bag portion 22 is formed by folding outwards over the entire width (entire circumference) in the lateral direction with a relatively wide width in the vertical direction. In the bag portion 22, two thin plate-like magnet plates 23 and 24 having the same length as the entire width of the separator 2a are accommodated.

  The magnet plates 23 and 24 are magnetized with the sheet of the bag portion 22 sandwiched therebetween, whereby the drop opening 25 at the lower end portion of the separator 2a is closed. Note that the magnetic force of the magnetic plates 23 and 24 can normally close the lower end of the separator 2a as described above, and can open when the closed part is expanded by the input (waste). It is set to strength.

(Function)
With reference to FIG.4 and FIG.5, the effect | action of the isolation body 2a is demonstrated.
In the normal state, the separator 2a is closed with the drop port at the lower end in close contact with the magnetic force of the magnetic plates 23 and 24 over the entire width. In this state, the inside and the outside of the container 1 are separated by the separator 2a, and even if a bad odor or a fly is generated inside the container 1, the bad odor is prevented from leaking to the outside or the fly jumping out. Can do.

  When the waste is introduced into the inlet 20 of the separator 2a, the close and closed portion of the lower part of the separator 2a is pushed up against the magnetic force of the magnet plates 23 and 24 by the weight of the waste. As a result, the waste falls into the lower container 11 from a drop opening (not shown) formed in the lower part of the separator 2a. At this time, the flexible separator 2a, which is formed of a synthetic resin film, is flexibly deformed so as to follow the shape of the waste passing therethrough by the magnetic force of the deformable magnet plates 23 and 24, thereby forming a drop opening. Form.

Thereby, unlike the conventional compost container, the dropping port at the lower part of the separator 2a is not greatly opened to other parts through which the waste does not pass. Therefore, even when a waste odor or a fly is generated inside the container 1, the odor can be prevented from leaking to the outside or the fly jumping out.
It should be noted that a spring plate or a spring wire is used instead of the magnet plates 23 and 24, and due to its elastic force, the drop port 25 can be closed normally, and the drop port 25 can be opened when it is expanded by an input. It is good also as a structure made possible.

  Note that the terms and expressions used in the present specification are merely explanatory and not restrictive, and do not exclude terms and expressions equivalent to the above terms and expressions. The present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea.
