Description

  The present invention relates to a dehydrating apparatus.

  Garbage generated in the kitchen contains a lot of moisture, which increases the weight of household garbage and causes bad odors. Discard it. To explain solid-liquid separation of garbage, in a general kitchen system, a drainage container connected to a drain pipe is provided at the bottom of the sink, and a garbage basket for collecting garbage can be attached to and detached from the drainage container. Has been inserted. The garbage basket inserted into the drainage container has a plurality of holes for discharging the water in the garbage basket to the drainage container, and the moisture of the garbage in the garbage basket is drained into the drainage container through the plurality of holes. Discharged. That is, solid-liquid separation of garbage is performed by a garbage basket that collects garbage.

  The solid-liquid separation of garbage is performed by discharging the water in the garbage basket from a plurality of holes formed in the garbage basket. When this solid-liquid separation is not sufficient, the wet garbage is removed by hand. Will be discarded. In this case, since a large stress occurs, some conventional kitchen systems actively perform solid-liquid separation of garbage.

  For example, in the dredge dewatering device described in Patent Document 1, a plurality of fins continuous in the circumferential direction are formed at the bottom of a draining basket that is rotatably supported by the storage case, and in the radial direction of the draining basket, A nozzle connected to a pipe branched from the water supply pipe is provided at a position facing the plurality of fins. Thereby, the draining basket can be rotated by applying water ejected from the nozzle to the plurality of fins, and debris in the draining basket can be dehydrated by centrifugal force. Further, in the garbage dewatering apparatus described in Patent Document 2, a dewatering container that is rotated by a motor is attached to the drainage section of the sink, and a garbage bag made of porous paper or a porous film is disposed inside the dewatering container. To do. Thereby, since a dehydration container can be rotated with a garbage bag with a motor, the garbage in a garbage bag can be dehydrated by centrifugal force.

  However, when the garbage basket is rotated as described above and the dewatering of the garbage is performed by centrifugal force, the structure is likely to be complicated, and it may be difficult to clean the garbage basket. Moreover, when the dehydration by centrifugal force is insufficient, the reduction of the weight of garbage and the reduction of malodor by solid-liquid separation of the garbage may be insufficient.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a dehydrating apparatus capable of improving both the dewatering property of garbage and the cleaning property of a garbage basket.

  In order to solve the above-described problems and achieve the object, a dehydrating apparatus according to the present invention includes a drainage container formed with a sink opening that opens to the bottom of the sink and connected to a drainage pipe, and the drainage A shaft member extending from the bottom of the container toward the sink opening, a bearing portion rotatably supported by the shaft member, and a net bag formed of a water-permeable material and formed in a bag shape, An opening holding portion for holding the mesh bag opening in an open state, and the sink opening side in the axial direction of the shaft member that positions the bearing portion on the bottom side of the drainage container and supports the bearing portion The bearing portion and the opening holding portion are connected to each other by a plurality of rod-like members with the opening holding portion positioned, and the frame portion rotatable around the shaft member, and the frame portion is rotated. Rotation when The opening holding portion is provided between the opening holding portion and the bearing portion in the axial direction, and is provided over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction around the rotating shaft and connected to the frame portion. And the outer periphery of the frame part or the jumping-out restricting part, and the frame part or the jumping-out restricting part. A plurality of fins provided in the portion, and water flow ejection means for ejecting a water flow to the fins are provided.

  In this invention, the opening holding portion that holds the mesh bag opening in an opened state is connected to the bearing portion by the rod-like member of the frame portion, and is connected to the frame portion or the pop-out restricting portion connected to the frame portion. Are provided with a plurality of fins. Further, a water flow can be ejected from the fins by the water flow ejection means. For this reason, when a mesh bag made of a material that allows water to pass through is used as a bag for collecting garbage, the mesh bag can be rotated together with the frame portion, etc. by ejecting a water flow from the water flow ejection means to the fins. The water contained in the dust in the mesh bag can be discharged from the mesh bag by centrifugal force. In that case, since the opening part holding part is connected to the bearing part by the several rod-shaped member, many parts of a mesh bag will be in the state which faces the inner wall face of a drainage container directly. For this reason, much of the water discharged from the mesh bag is scattered by the inner wall surface of the drainage container without being blocked by a member that rotates together with the mesh bag. Thereby, dewatering of garbage can be performed effectively.

  In addition, when rotating the frame or the like with the mesh bag opening held by the opening retaining unit, the frame bag is connected to a jumping-out regulating unit that regulates the jumping out of the mesh bag. It becomes difficult to jump out. Thereby, it can suppress that it contacts with a drainage container and becomes resistance of rotation by a net bag popping out. Accordingly, the net bag can be effectively rotated together with the frame portion and the like, and the dewatering of the garbage can be performed effectively.

  In addition, when a portion provided integrally with the opening holding portion that holds the mesh bag is used as a garbage basket, the dust basket is collected by the mesh bag, so that the garbage basket is difficult to get dirty. Also, even when cleaning the garbage basket, the garbage basket is formed mainly by connecting the opening holding portion and the bearing portion with a plurality of rod-shaped members, so that the portion to be cleaned is reduced and easily Can be washed. As a result, it is possible to improve both the dewaterability of garbage and the washability of garbage baskets.

  In the dehydrating apparatus, it is preferable that the frame portion is provided with a frame bottom portion for restricting the net bag from protruding toward the bottom portion of the drainage container at a connection portion with the bearing portion.

  In this invention, since the frame bottom part which controls the jumping of the net bag to the bottom part side of the drainage container is provided, the net bag is difficult to jump out to the bottom part side of the drainage container. Thereby, when the mesh bag is rotated together with the frame portion or the like, it is possible to suppress the mesh bag from popping out and coming into contact with the bottom portion of the drainage container and becoming resistance to rotation. As a result, the net bag can be effectively rotated together with the frame portion and the like, and the dewaterability of dust can be improved more reliably.

  In the dehydrating apparatus, it is preferable that the frame bottom portion is inclined toward the bottom side of the drainage container as it goes radially outward from the bearing portion side.

  In this invention, since the bottom of the frame is inclined toward the bottom side of the drainage container as it goes outward in the radial direction, the moisture of the dust discharged from the net bag can be easily flowed to the bottom side of the drainage container. . That is, when the mesh bag is rotated together with the frame portion or the like, the moisture of the dust discharged from the mesh bag moves downward in the radial direction by centrifugal force and falls downward by gravity. For this reason, by tilting the bottom of the frame in the direction toward the bottom of the drainage container as it goes outward in the radial direction, the moisture of the dust on which centrifugal force and gravity act can easily flow to the bottom of the drainage container. be able to. As a result, it is possible to improve drainage when draining water from the net bag, and it is possible to more reliably improve the dewaterability of garbage.

  In the dehydrating apparatus, it is preferable that a plurality of concave portions are formed in the frame bottom portion radially from the bearing portion side toward the outer peripheral portion of the frame bottom portion with the bearing portion side as a center.

  In this invention, since a plurality of recesses are formed radially at the bottom of the frame, the moisture of the waste discharged from the mesh bag is allowed to flow into the recesses while suppressing the mesh bag from jumping out to the bottom side of the drainage container. By this, it is possible to make it easier to flow outward in the radial direction of the bottom of the frame. As a result, it is possible to improve drainage when draining water from the net bag, and it is possible to more reliably improve the dewaterability of garbage.

  The dehydrating apparatus according to the present invention has an effect of improving both the dewatering property of garbage and the cleaning property of the garbage basket.

Thus, the dewatering device 20 provided in the sink 8 is disposed at the bottom 10 of the sink 8, and the dewatering device 20 includes an ejection water supply pipe 16 branched from the water supply pipe 12, a drain pipe 18, and the like. Is connected.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the dehydrating apparatus shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. The dehydrating device 20 includes a drainage container 22 and a garbage basket 30 that is detachably attached to the drainage container 22 and stored in the drainage container 22. Among these, the drainage container 22 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape, and is disposed below the bottom 10 of the sink 8. In the drainage container 22, a sink opening 24 that is an opening is formed on the opposite side of the bottom 26 of the drainage container 22, and the sink opening 24 opens in the same plane as the bottom 10 of the sink 8. Is formed. That is, the sink opening 24 is formed at the bottom 10 of the sink 8 and is open to the bottom 10 of the sink 8.

  Further, the drainage container 22 has a waterflow nozzle 50 which is a waterflow ejection means for ejecting a waterflow into the drainage container 22 and a drainage pipe connection portion 52 to which the drainage pipe 18 is connected. Is connected to a pipe 16 for squirting water supply. The water supply pipe 16 connected to the water flow nozzle 50 opens and closes the flow path of the water flowing through the water supply supply pipe 16, thereby supplying water from the water supply pipe 12 to the water flow nozzle 50. A spout water valve (not shown) that can be flowed or shielded is provided. This squirting water valve can switch the flow of water by operating electrically or mechanically, and the operation part (illustration omitted) of the squirting water valve is installed in the main body 4 of the kitchen system 1. . That is, the water flow nozzle 50 is supplied from the water supply pipe 16 when the water supply valve 12 is opened so that water flows from the water supply pipe 12 side to the water flow nozzle 50 through the water supply pipe 16. Water can be ejected into the drainage container 22 in a direction substantially parallel to the bottom 26 of the drainage container 22.

  On the other hand, the drain pipe connecting portion 52 to which the drain pipe 18 is connected can drain the water in the drain container 22 to the drain pipe 18. Specifically, the drain pipe connecting portion 52 is open near the bottom portion 26 of the drain container 22 with respect to the drain container 22, and the drain pipe 18 communicates with the vicinity of the bottom portion 26 in the drain container 22. ing. Thereby, when there is water in the drainage container 22, the water in the drainage container 22 is drained to the drainage pipe 18 through the drainage pipe connection part 52.

  Further, a shaft member 46 is formed on the bottom portion 26, which is formed in a columnar bar shape and extends from the bottom portion 26 of the drainage vessel 22 toward the sink opening 24 side. . The shaft member 46 is formed in a direction substantially orthogonal to the bottom 10 of the sink 8.

  In addition, the garbage basket 30 that is detachably attached to the drainage container 22 opens downward in a state where the garbage basket 30 is stored in the drainage container 22, and has a bottomed cylindrical hole shape. A bearing portion 48 extending upward is formed. The bearing portion 48 is provided so that the shaft member 46 can be inserted from the end portion on the opening side, while the end portion on the opposite side of the end portion on the opening side of the bearing portion 48 is closed. For this reason, when the shaft member 46 is inserted into the bearing portion 48, the tip portion of the shaft member 46 abuts against the end portion on the closing side of the bearing portion 48, whereby the shaft member 46 has the bearing portion 48. The garbage basket 30 can be supported. That is, the garbage basket 30 is supported by the shaft member 46 by inserting the shaft member 46 into the bearing portion 48, or by pulling the shaft member 46 from the bearing portion 48 by pulling up the bearing portion 48. The drainage container 22 is detachable.

  Further, the bearing portion 48 formed in the garbage basket 30 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical hole shape, and the shaft member 46 formed in the bottom portion 26 of the drainage container 22 is formed in a columnar rod shape. It is formed with. For this reason, in a state in which the shaft member 46 is inserted into the bearing portion 48, the bearing portion 48 can rotate relative to the shaft member 46, and the garbage basket 30 includes the drainage container 22 having the shaft member 46. Can be rotated relative to each other. That is, the shaft member 46 can rotatably support the bearing portion 48, and the garbage basket 30 is rotatably supported by the shaft member 46.

  In addition, the shaft member 46 and the bearing portion 48 are provided as described above, so that the shaft member 46 and the bearing portion 48 are provided as a rotation mechanism 44 that rotatably supports the garbage basket 30 with respect to the drainage container 22. The shaft member 46 and the bearing portion 48 provided as the rotation mechanism 44 are formed with respect to the bottom portion 10 of the sink 8 because the shaft member 46 is formed in a direction substantially orthogonal to the bottom portion 10 of the sink 8. The garbage basket 30 is supported so as to be rotatable with respect to the drainage container 22 with an orthogonal rotation axis.

  4 is a perspective view of the garbage basket shown in FIG. 5 is a BB arrow view of FIG. FIG. 6 is a CC arrow view of FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line DD of FIG. The garbage basket 30 provided rotatably with respect to the drainage container 22 is an opening that holds a garbage bag opening 62 (see FIG. 8), which is an opening of a garbage bag 60 (see FIG. 8) described later. A part holding part 32 and a frame part 34 connecting the opening holding part 32 and the bearing part 48.

  More specifically, the opening holding portion 32 is formed in a ring shape whose outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the drainage container 22. The frame portion 34 includes a plurality of frame members 36 that are rod-like members (eight in the present embodiment as an example), and thus the opening holding portion 32 formed in a ring shape and the rotation mechanism 44 are configured. A plurality of frame members 36 are connected to the bearing portion 48 to be operated. The orientation of the opening holding part 32 and the bearing part 48 connected by the frame part 34 is formed in the direction of the center axis of the opening holding part 32 formed in a ring shape and a bottomed cylindrical hole shape. The direction of the central axis is the same direction, and the two central axes are positioned on the same line.

  The positional relationship between the opening holding portion 32 and the bearing portion 48 will be described in a state where the garbage basket 30 is stored in the drainage container 22. The frame portion 34 is a sink opening portion in the axial direction of the rotation shaft of the rotation mechanism 44. Both are connected in a state where the opening holding portion 32 is positioned on the 24 side and the opening side of the bearing portion 48 is positioned on the bottom 26 side of the drainage container 22. In this case, the rotation axis of the rotation mechanism 44 indicates the central axis of the shaft member 46 formed in a columnar bar shape or the bearing portion 48 formed in a bottomed cylindrical hole shape. The axial direction of the rotary shaft indicates the axial direction of the central axis, that is, the direction in which the shaft member 46 and the bearing portion 48 extend.

  As described above, the shape of the frame member 36 that connects the opening holding portion 32 and the bearing portion 48 will be described. The frame member 36 included in the frame portion 34 has a plurality of frame members 36 centered on the central axis of the bearing portion 48. Are connected radially near the opening of the bearing 48. The plurality of frame members 36 are bent in a direction parallel to the central axis of the bearing portion 48 on the side where the opening holding portion 32 is located at a position away from the central axis of the bearing portion 48 by a predetermined distance. It is formed in a direction parallel to the central axis of the bearing portion 48. By connecting the end portion of the frame member 36 formed in this way to the opening holding portion 32, the plurality of frame members 36 are all connected to the opening holding portion 32 and the bearing portion 48, thereby the frame. The part 34 connects the opening holding part 32 and the bearing part 48. Accordingly, the frame portion 34 is provided so as to be rotatable integrally with the opening holding portion 32 around the rotation axis of the rotation mechanism 44.

  Further, the frame portion 34 is connected to a frame portion 38 that is a pop-out restricting portion that restricts the pop-out of the garbage bag 60 outward in the radial direction around the rotation axis of the rotation mechanism 44. The frame portion 38 is formed in an annular shape having a predetermined width in the axial direction, and is connected to a plurality of frame members 36 formed in a direction parallel to the central axis of the bearing portion 48. That is, the frame portion 38 is formed in an annular shape with a diameter similar to the diameter of the opening portion holding portion 32 formed in a ring shape, and the opening portion holding portion 32 in the axial direction of the rotation shaft of the rotation mechanism 44. It is located between the rotation mechanism 44 and is provided over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction around the rotation axis. As a result, the frame portion 38 shields the gap between the frame members 36 in a predetermined range in the axial direction of the rotation axis of the rotation mechanism 44, and therefore, when the garbage bag opening 62 is held by the opening holding portion 32. It is possible to restrict the trash bag 60 from protruding outward in the radial direction around the rotation axis.

  The frame portion 38 is provided with a plurality of fins 40 over the entire circumference of the outer peripheral portion. The plurality of fins 40 are formed in a plate shape and project outward in the radial direction of the frame portion 38 so as not to contact the inner wall surface of the drainage container 22. The orientation is such that the plate-like plane portion is orthogonal to the tangent line on the outer periphery of the frame portion 38. The water flow nozzle 50 that is provided in the drainage container 22 and ejects a waterflow into the drainage container 22 can eject the waterflow to the fins 40 of the garbage basket 30 when the garbage basket 30 is stored in the drainage container 22. It is provided as follows.

  FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a garbage bag used in the dehydrating apparatus shown in FIG. In the dehydrating apparatus 20 according to the present embodiment, a garbage bag 60 which is a net bag made of a material through which water passes and formed in a bag shape is used. The garbage bag 60 is formed of a material that allows water to pass therethrough and does not allow dust to pass therethrough, for example, and the garbage bag opening 62 that is a net bag opening has elasticity. The garbage bag 60 may be formed of a material other than non-woven fabric. For example, the garbage bag 60 is formed of a material in which fibers made of synthetic resin are knitted in a net shape, and water is allowed to pass through, and most of the dust is allowed to pass. Any material can be used as long as it can be captured without any problem.

  The dehydrating apparatus 20 according to this embodiment is configured as described above, and the operation thereof will be described below. When the dehydrator 20 according to the present embodiment is used, the garbage bag 60 is attached to the garbage basket 30 accommodated in the drainage container 22 for use.

  FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the dehydrating apparatus in a state where a garbage bag is attached to the garbage basket. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of a garbage basket equipped with a garbage bag. The garbage bag 60 is attached to the garbage basket 30 such that the bottom side of the garbage bag 60 faces the bottom 26 side of the drainage container 22 from the inside in the radial direction of the opening holding portion 32 of the garbage basket 30. Place inside. At that time, since the bearing portion 48 extends in the direction in which the opening holding portion 32 is located, the garbage bag 60 is disposed along the bearing portion 48. In this state, the garbage bag opening 62 located in the vicinity of the opening holding part 32 is folded back outward in the radial direction of the opening holding part 32, whereby the opening holding part 32 is sandwiched between the folded parts. Since the trash bag opening 62 has elasticity, the trash bag opening 62 is opened in the opened state by folding the trash bag opening 62 in this manner and sandwiching the opening holding portion 32. It is mounted near the holding part 32. In other words, the opening holding part 32 holds the garbage bag opening 62 in an opened state. The garbage bag 60 may be attached to the garbage basket 30 with the garbage basket 30 stored in the drainage container 22 or with the garbage basket 30 removed from the drainage container 22.

  The kitchen system 1 including the dehydrating apparatus 20 according to the present embodiment is used in a state where the garbage bag 60 is attached to the garbage basket 30 accommodated in the drainage container 22 in this way. When cooking using kitchen system 1 or washing dishes, garbage such as raw garbage may be generated. Garbage generated when the kitchen system 1 is used is directly thrown into the garbage basket 30 of the dehydrator 20 by the user of the kitchen system 1, or garbage on the sink 8 is washed away by water discharged from the kitchen faucet 6. Or flows into the garbage basket 30. In these cases, garbage is captured by the garbage bag 60 attached to the garbage basket 30, and the water passes through the garbage bag 60 and flows to the bottom 26 side of the drainage container 22, and is connected to the drain pipe connection part 52. By flowing through the drain pipe 18, the water is drained from the dehydrator 20.

  When cooking or the like is performed in the kitchen system 1, the garbage generated by the cooking or the like is captured by the garbage bag 60, so that the garbage accumulates in the garbage basket 30, and the accumulation amount gradually increases. When the garbage accumulates in the garbage basket 30 as described above, the user discards the garbage in the garbage basket 30. In this case, the garbage is dehydrated before the garbage is discarded.

  In the case of dewatering the garbage, a jet water valve that can open or close the flow path of the water flowing through the jet water supply pipe 16 is opened. That is, the squirting water valve is normally closed and water does not flow from the water supply pipe 12 toward the water flow nozzle 50, but the squirting water valve is operated to operate the squirting water. By operating the valve, the flow path of the water flowing through the spout water supply pipe 16 is opened. Thereby, the water flowing through the water supply pipe 12 flows from the water supply pipe 12 side to the water nozzle 50 through the jet water supply pipe 16.

  When water flows from the spout water supply pipe 16 to the water flow nozzle 50, the water flow nozzle 50 spouts this water onto the fins 40 of the garbage basket 30 stored in the drainage container 22. In this case, the water flow nozzle 50 locally ejects the water supplied from the ejection water supply pipe 16 and ejects it to the fins 40 in a water flow having a high water pressure.

  Thus, when water is ejected from the water nozzle 50, the water nozzle 50 is ejected toward the fin 40 in a direction substantially parallel to the bottom 26 of the drainage container 22, and the fin 40 has a plate-like plane portion. It is formed in a direction orthogonal to the tangent on the outer periphery of the frame portion 38. For this reason, when the water flow ejected from the water flow nozzle 50 hits the fin 40, the force acting on the fin 40 by the water pressure is input to the frame portion 38 as a tangential force.

  The garbage basket 30 having the frame portion 38 is rotatably supported with respect to the drainage container 22 by a shaft member 46 inserted into the bearing portion 48. Therefore, the garbage basket 30 to which a tangential force is input to the frame portion 38 by the water pressure generated by the water flow ejected from the water flow nozzle 50 is rotated with respect to the drainage container 22 around the shaft member 46 by this force. . When the garbage basket 30 rotates, the dust accumulated in the garbage basket 30 also rotates together with the garbage basket 30. However, when the garbage basket 30 or the garbage rotates, centrifugal force is generated in these.

  As described above, when centrifugal force is generated in the dust, the dust tends to jump out in the rotation outer direction, but the dust is accumulated in the dust bag 60, and the frame portion is disposed on the outer periphery of the dust bag 60. 38 is disposed. For this reason, the garbage bag 60 is restricted by the frame portion 38 from projecting outward in the radial direction around the rotation axis of rotation by the shaft member 46 and the bearing portion 48, and accordingly, the dust in the garbage bag 60 is also removed. The state of being accumulated in the garbage bag 60 is maintained only by approaching the outer side of the rotation in the garbage basket 30.

  Here, the dust accumulated in the garbage bag 60 contains a lot of moisture, and when the garbage basket 30 is rotated by the water flow ejected from the water flow nozzle 50, centrifugal force acts on this water. . When centrifugal force acts on the garbage in the garbage bag 60, the garbage itself is restricted from jumping outward in the radial direction together with the garbage bag 60 by the frame portion 38. Is formed by. For this reason, when the moisture contained in the trash moves radially outward in the trash basket 30 due to centrifugal force, the moisture passes through the trash bag 60 and is discharged from the trash bag 60.

  In the garbage basket 30 to which the garbage bag 60 is mounted, the opening holding portion 32 and the bearing portion 48 are connected by a frame member 36 that is a rod-shaped member, and the frame portion 38 is provided on the frame portion 34 having a plurality of frame members 36. Since it is formed by being connected, many parts of the garbage bag 60 directly face the inner wall surface of the drainage container 22. For this reason, most of the water contained in the trash discharged from the trash bag 60 is scattered by the inner wall surface of the drainage container 22 without being blocked by the members constituting the trash basket 30. In this way, the water splashed on the inner wall surface of the drainage container 22 accumulates on the bottom 26 side of the drainage container 22. Since the water ejected from the water nozzle 50 is also accumulated on the bottom 26 side of the drainage container 22 to rotate the garbage basket 30, the water discharged from the garbage bag 60 is discharged together with the water ejected from the water nozzle 50 together with the drainage container 22. It drains to the drain pipe 18 connected to the.

  When the garbage basket 30 is rotated, the moisture contained in the garbage is discharged from the garbage bag 60 by the centrifugal force in this way, and the garbage is dehydrated. When the garbage basket 30 is rotated for a predetermined time and the dewatering of the garbage is performed for a predetermined time, the operation of the jet water valve is operated to stop the jet of water from the water nozzle 50. When the rotation of the garbage basket 30 is stopped by stopping the ejection of the water stream from the water nozzle 50, the garbage bag 60 attached to the garbage basket 30 is removed, and the garbage accumulated in the garbage bag 60 is left as it is. Discard. The removal of the garbage bag 60 from the garbage basket 30 may be performed in a state where the garbage basket 30 is stored in the drainage container 22 as in the case where the garbage bag 60 is attached to the garbage basket 30. You may carry out in the state which took out 30 from the drainage container 22. FIG.

  When the garbage is discarded, the garbage bag 60 attached to the garbage basket 30 is removed and discarded together with the garbage bag 60, so that the garbage basket 30 is not very dirty, but the garbage basket 30 is dirty. Is removed from the drainage container 22 by moving the garbage basket 30 stored in the drainage container 22 upward by inserting the shaft member 46 into the bearing portion 48. The garbage basket 30 is washed in such a state that it is extracted from the drainage container 22 in this way. After cleaning the garbage basket 30, the shaft basket 46 is inserted into the bearing portion 48, so that the garbage basket 30 is stored in the drainage container 22 so as to be rotatable in the drainage container 22.

  In the dehydrating apparatus 20 described above, the garbage basket 30 that can hold the garbage bag 60 is rotatably supported by the shaft member 46, and the garbage basket 30 is provided with a plurality of fins 40. The container 22 is provided with a water flow nozzle 50 that can eject a water flow to the fins 40. For this reason, by ejecting a water flow from the water flow nozzle 50 to the fins 40, the garbage bag 60 can be rotated together with the garbage basket 30, and the water contained in the dust in the garbage bag 60 is removed by centrifugal force. The waste bag 60 can be discharged. At that time, since the opening holding portion 32 holding the garbage bag opening 62 is connected to the bearing portion 48 by a plurality of frame members 36, many portions of the garbage bag 60 are directly inside the drainage container 22. It faces the wall. For this reason, most of the water discharged from the garbage bag 60 is scattered by the inner wall surface of the drainage container 22 without being blocked by a member that rotates together with the garbage bag 60. Thereby, dewatering of garbage can be performed effectively.

  In addition, since the garbage basket 30 is provided with a frame portion 38 that restricts the dumping of the garbage bag 60, even when the garbage bag 60 is rotated together with the garbage basket 30, the garbage bag 60 is arranged in the radial direction from the frame portion 34. It becomes difficult to jump out. Thereby, it can suppress that it contacts the drainage container 22 by the garbage bag 60 jumping out, and becomes resistance of rotation at the time of rotation. Therefore, the garbage bag 60 can be effectively rotated together with the garbage basket 30, and the garbage can be effectively dehydrated.

  In addition, since the garbage bag 60 is attached to the garbage basket 30 and the garbage is collected by the garbage bag 60, the garbage basket 30 becomes difficult to get dirty. Even when the garbage basket 30 is cleaned, the garbage basket 30 is mainly formed by connecting the opening holding portion 32 and the bearing portion 48 with a plurality of frame members 36, so that the portion to be cleaned is Less and can be cleaned easily. As a result, it is possible to improve both the dewaterability of the garbage and the washability of the garbage basket 30.

  In addition, a rotation mechanism 44 that rotatably supports the garbage basket 30 with respect to the drainage container 22 is configured by a shaft member 46 provided in the drainage container 22 and a bearing portion 48 provided in the garbage basket 30. While being rotatable with respect to the drainage container 22, it is detachable from the drainage container 22. For this reason, when the garbage basket 30 is washed, it can be removed from the drainage container 22 and easily washed. As a result, the cleaning performance of the garbage basket 30 can be improved more reliably.

  Further, since the garbage basket 30 is detachable from the drainage container 22, the garbage basket 30 is optionally attached to the drainage container 22 when the garbage bag 60 is attached to or removed from the garbage basket 30. It can be performed in a state where it is stored in the container, or can be performed in the state of the garbage basket 30 alone. As a result, it is possible to improve usability when collecting garbage using the garbage bag 60 attached to the garbage basket 30.

  In the dehydrating apparatus 20 described above, the garbage basket 30 is provided with a frame portion 38 to restrict the dumping of the garbage bag 60 outward in the radial direction, but the garbage bag 60 jumps out below the garbage basket 30. May be regulated. FIG. 11 is an explanatory view showing a modified example of the dehydrating apparatus according to the embodiment, and is a cross-sectional perspective view of a main part when a frame bottom is provided. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the frame portion 34 of the garbage basket 30 is provided with a frame bottom portion 70 that restricts the dumping of the garbage bag 60 toward the bottom portion 26 side of the drainage container 22 at the connection portion with the bearing portion 48. May be. The frame bottom portion 70 is formed in a disk shape centered on the bearing portion 48 and is connected to the opening side of the bearing portion 48. The frame part 34 connects the opening part holding part 32 and the bearing part 48 integrally by connecting the outer peripheral part of the frame bottom part 70 and the opening part holding part 32 with the frame member 36.

  Thus, by providing the frame bottom portion 70 in the garbage basket 30, the garbage bag 60 is prevented from jumping out to the bottom portion 26 side of the drainage container 22 because the downward projection of the garbage bag 60 is blocked by the frame bottom portion 70. Thereby, when the garbage bag 60 is rotated together with the garbage basket 30, it can be suppressed that the garbage bag 60 jumps downward to come into contact with the bottom of the drainage container 22 and become resistance to rotation. As a result, the garbage bag 60 can be effectively rotated together with the garbage basket 30, and the dewaterability of the garbage can be improved more reliably.

  FIG. 12 is an explanatory view showing a modified example of the dehydrating apparatus according to the embodiment, and is a cross-sectional view of the garbage basket when the frame bottom is inclined. Further, the frame bottom portion 70 may be formed so that moisture discharged from the garbage bag 60 can easily flow into the drainage container 22. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the frame bottom portion 70 may be inclined toward the bottom portion 26 side of the drainage container 22 as it goes radially outward from the bearing portion 48 side. By inclining the frame bottom portion 70 in this way, it is possible to easily cause the moisture of the dust discharged from the waste bag 60 to flow toward the bottom portion 26 side of the drainage container 22. That is, when the garbage bag 60 is rotated together with the garbage basket 30, the moisture of the dust discharged from the garbage bag 60 falls downward due to gravity while being directed outward in the radial direction by centrifugal force. For this reason, by tilting the frame bottom 70 in the direction toward the bottom 26 of the drainage container 22 as it goes outward in the radial direction, that is, in the downward direction, the moisture of the dust on which centrifugal force and gravity act is drained. It is possible to facilitate the flow to the bottom 26 side of the container 22. As a result, it is possible to improve drainage performance when draining water from the garbage bag 60, and it is possible to more reliably improve the dewaterability of the garbage.

  FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing a modified example of the dehydrating apparatus according to the embodiment, and is a plan view of a garbage basket when a frame bottom groove portion is provided. Moreover, when making it easy to flow the water | moisture content discharged | emitted from the garbage bag 60 to the waste_water | drain container 22, you may carry out by another method, for example, the frame bottom part 70 has the outer peripheral part of the frame bottom part 70 from the bearing part 48 side. A plurality of concave portions through which moisture discharged from the garbage bag 60 flows may be radially formed around the bearing portion 48 side. As such a concave portion, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, a frame bottom groove portion 72 which is a groove portion formed in the frame bottom portion 70 is formed, and the frame bottom groove portion 72 is formed on the frame bottom portion 70 from the bearing portion 48 side. A plurality may be provided radially toward the outer peripheral portion with the bearing portion 48 side as the center. In this way, by forming the plurality of frame bottom groove portions 72 in the frame bottom portion 70, moisture of the waste discharged from the garbage bag 60 is transferred to the frame bottom groove portion 72 while suppressing the garbage bag 60 from jumping downward. By flowing, it is possible to make it easier to flow moisture outward in the radial direction of the frame bottom 70. As a result, it is possible to improve drainage performance when draining water from the garbage bag 60, and it is possible to more reliably improve the dewaterability of the garbage.

  FIG. 14 is an explanatory view showing a modified example of the dehydrating apparatus according to the embodiment, and is a cross-sectional perspective view of a main part when a frame bottom valley is provided. The recess formed in the frame bottom 70 may be formed by other than the frame bottom groove 72. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the position of the frame bottom 70 in the vertical direction changes as the position in the circumferential direction changes. It may be formed in a zigzag shape so as to change, and a frame bottom trough portion 74 which is a zigzag trough portion may be provided as a recess. That is, by forming the frame bottom portion 70 in a zigzag shape, the zigzag crest portions and the frame bottom trough portion 74 are alternately formed as the position in the circumferential direction changes. Therefore, a plurality of frame bottom valleys 74 are formed radially from the bearing 48 side toward the outer periphery of the frame bottom 70 with the bearing 48 side as the center. Thereby, the moisture discharged from the garbage bag 60 can flow along the frame bottom valley 74 to the radially outward side of the frame bottom 70. Further, by forming the frame bottom portion 70 in a zigzag shape in this way, moisture that has flowed from the garbage bag 60 to any portion of the frame bottom portion 70 can flow to the frame bottom valley portion 74, and the frame bottom valley portion It is possible to flow from 74 to the radially outer side of the frame bottom 70. As a result, it is possible to improve drainage performance when draining water from the garbage bag 60, and it is possible to more reliably improve the dewaterability of the garbage.

  Further, in the above-described dehydrating apparatus 20, the garbage bag 60 is attached to the opening holding portion 32 of the garbage basket 30 by folding the garbage bag opening 62 near the opening holding portion 32, thereby expanding and contracting the garbage bag opening. Although the portion 62 is mounted near the opening holding portion 32, a portion on which the garbage bag 60 is caught may be provided near the opening holding portion 32. As a result, the garbage bag 60 attached to the garbage basket 30 is not easily displaced with respect to the garbage basket 30, and even when the garbage basket 30 is rotated, the garbage bag 60 can be rotated more reliably together with the garbage basket 30. it can. Thereby, the dewatering property of garbage can be improved more reliably.

  In the dehydrator 20 described above, the fins 40 that receive the water flow ejected from the water flow nozzle 50 are provided in the frame portion 38, but the fins 40 may be provided in the outer peripheral portion of the frame member 36. As long as the fin 40 is provided so that the garbage basket 30 can be rotated by receiving the water flow ejected from the water flow nozzle 50, the position, size, and shape of the fin 40 may be other than those described above.

  Further, in the above-described dehydrating apparatus 20, the garbage basket 30 is rotated by ejecting a stream of water from the water nozzle 50 provided in the drainage container 22 to the fins 40 of the garbage basket 30. You may provide in addition to 22. For example, when the water nozzle 50 is connected to the kitchen faucet 6 and the water nozzle 50 can be extended and contracted with respect to the kitchen faucet 6 to dehydrate the garbage in the garbage basket 30, the user can open the sink opening. The position of the water flow nozzle 50 that ejects the water flow may be adjusted so that the water flow hits the fin 40 of the garbage basket 30 from 24. In this case, the fin 40 of the garbage basket 30 is provided at a position where a water flow can be easily applied from the sink opening 24 side. Thus, by connecting the water flow nozzle 50 to the kitchen faucet 6, the drainage container 22 and the piping can be simplified.

  Further, in the dehydrating apparatus 20 described above, the rotation mechanism 44 is formed by the shaft member 46 and the bearing portion 48, and the shaft member 46 can be inserted into and removed from the bearing portion 48. Although the car 30 is detachable from the drainage container 22, the garbage car 30 may not be detachably provided. The garbage basket 30 is provided with a garbage bag 60 so that the garbage bag 30 can be mounted. When the garbage is discarded, it can be discarded by removing the garbage bag 60. For this reason, the rotation mechanism 44 can be simplified by allowing the rotation mechanism 44 to rotate only with respect to the drainage container 22 without making the garbage basket 30 removable.

  In the dehydrating apparatus 20 described above, the garbage basket 30 rotates the garbage basket 30 using the water pressure of the water stream ejected from the water flow nozzle 50. However, the force used to rotate the garbage basket 30 is Other than the water pressure. For example, the power of an electric motor (not shown) may be transmitted to the rotation mechanism 44, and the garbage basket 30 may be rotated by the power generated by the electric motor. If it is provided so that the garbage basket 30 can be arbitrarily rotated or stopped, the force used for the rotation is not limited to the above.

  As described above, the dehydrating apparatus according to the present invention is useful for a dehydrating apparatus that dehydrates garbage collected in a garbage basket, and is particularly suitable for an apparatus that performs effective dehydration with a simple configuration.
