Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-100103

However, the conventional techniques described above have the following problems.
That is, in rural areas, garbage such as vegetable scraps and leftover foods generated at home are placed in compost production containers (compost production tanks) called compost installed outdoors. Compost is made by stirring the rice cake in a moderate amount, but when making compost in this way, it is necessary to cut the moisture in the garbage well. On the other hand, some of the garbage placed in the double-covered polybucket, which is the above-described garbage-containing container, contains a considerable amount of water. In the case of moving to, there is a problem that it takes time and effort because it is necessary to open the garbage in a small monkey or the like, cut the water well and put it in a compost production container.
An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem.

  Therefore, the garbage storage container of the present invention comprises a container main body and a bottom lid that can be attached to and detached from the container main body, and a drainer provided with a plurality of small holes in the drainage portion with one end as a drainage portion in the container main body. A plate is inclined at a predetermined angle, and the space on the bottom cover is used as a water storage part, so that water drops falling from the small holes are accumulated in the water storage part.

  Since the present invention as described above is capable of draining food waste naturally with a draining plate while storing food waste such as vegetable scraps and leftover food in the container body, When moving the garbage collected in the container body to a compost production container, it is no longer necessary to drain the garbage into a small colander or the like, and draining the garbage into the compost production container is troublesome. Therefore, it is possible to easily treat garbage.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the garbage container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a side sectional view showing a first embodiment. The garbage storage container of this embodiment is a container main body 1, a bottom lid 2 fitted to the lower end of the container main body 1, and an upper end of the container main body 1. The container body 1, the bottom cover 2 and the top cover 3 are all made of plastic. The container body 1 is formed in an elliptical cylindrical shape, and the bottom cover 2 and the top cover 3 are formed in shapes that can be fitted to each other in accordance with the shape of the container body 1. In addition, although it is preferable on handling that the capacity | capacitance of the container main body 1 shall be about 4 liters, it is not limited to this.

  A handle 4 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the container body 1, and a bottom plate 5 is formed on the lower end side of the container body 1, and the end on the handle 4 side is low above the bottom plate 5, and the end on the opposite side is formed. A draining plate 6 inclined at a gentle angle so as to be higher is provided. The space formed between the bottom plate 5 and the draining plate 6 is a drug storage chamber 7, and an opening serving as an entrance of the drug storage chamber 7 is formed on the peripheral surface of the container body 1. A small door 8 is rotatably provided as indicated by an arrow.

  In addition, the space formed on the bottom lid 2, that is, the space formed by the bottom lid 2 and the bottom plate 5 in this embodiment is a water storage section 9, and further, a wall surface facing the wall surface on the handle 4 side in the container body 1. A vent pipe 10 is provided along the bottom of the vent pipe 10, and a lower portion of the vent pipe 10 passes through the draining plate 6 and is opened in the medicine containing chamber 7.

  2 is a front view of the draining plate 6 in the first embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a view of the draining plate 6 seen from the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2. As shown in this figure, the draining plate 6 is attached to the container body 1. One end on the side of the provided handle 4 is bent at a predetermined angle to form a drainage portion 6c, and a plurality of ridges 6a are provided in parallel on the surface of the portion other than the drainage portion 6c so as to be between the ridges 6a. The drainage groove 6b is formed in the drainage portion 6c, and a plurality of small-diameter drainage holes 6d are provided in the drainage portion 6c. The draining plate 6 is formed integrally with the container body 1, but may be formed separately and attached to the container body 1.

  The operation of the above-described configuration will be described. First, after the garbage storage container is placed near the kitchen sink in the home, the small door 8 is opened, and the deodorant 11a and the insect repellent 11b are placed in the drug storage chamber 7. The small door 8 is closed. Then, when garbage 12 such as vegetable waste or leftover food is generated during cooking or after cooking, the upper lid 3 fitted to the upper end of the container body 1 is removed, and the garbage 12 is placed in the container body 1. The upper lid 3 is fitted to the upper end of the container body 1 and closed.

  The garbage 12 thrown into the container body 1 is accumulated on the ridges 6a of the draining plate 6, and the water discharged from the garbage 12 falls into the drainage grooves 6b between the ridges 6a. Since it is inclined, the water that has fallen into the drainage groove 6b flows through the drainage groove 6b to the drainage part 6c, falls from the drainage hole 6d provided in the drainage part 6c to the water storage part 9 as water droplets 13, and enters the water storage part 9. Stored.

  Garbage is stored in the container body 1 until it is transferred to a compost production container (compost production tank). During that time, the deodorant 11a and the insect repellent 11b are removed from the lower end of the vent pipe 10 as gas. Since it flows and flows into the container main body 1, small flies and the like generated from the garbage 12 are killed, and malodors generated from the garbage 12 are also deodorized.

  When the garbage stored in the container main body 1 is transferred to a compost production container installed outdoors, the bottom cover 2 is removed from the container main body 1, the water stored in the water storage section 9 is discarded, and the bottom cover 2 Is fitted to the container body 1 and attached (can be removed). Thereafter, the handle 4 is held to carry the garbage storage container to the compost production container installation position, the container body 1 is tilted while holding the handle 4 after removing the upper lid 3, and the garbage 12 is placed in the container body 1. The container is dropped into a compost production container, and the upper lid 3 is fitted into the container body 1 and closed.

  According to the first embodiment described above, the wastewater 6 is drained naturally by the draining plate 6 while the garbage 12 such as vegetable scraps and leftover food generated at home is stored in the container body 1. Therefore, when moving the garbage 12 stored in the container body 1 to the compost production container, it is no longer necessary to drain the garbage into a small monkey or the like and drain it. There is an effect that it is possible to easily dispose of garbage without taking time and effort when transferring garbage.

  In addition, while the garbage is stored in the container main body 1, the deodorant 11a and the insect repellent 11b placed in the medicine storage chamber 7 are supplied as gas into the container main body 1 through the vent pipe 10. In addition to being able to kill small flies and the like generated from the garbage 12, the malodor generated from the garbage 12 can also be eliminated.

FIG. 4 is a side sectional view showing a second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, a guide plate 14 is provided in the container body 1, and the guide plate 14 is integrated with the draining plate 6. As shown in FIG. It is formed so that it rises at a steep angle from the upper end of the draining plate 6, that is, the end opposite to the drainage portion 6 c, and reaches the upper portion of the container body 1.
Since the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment described above, the same reference numerals are given and description thereof is omitted.

  The second embodiment having such a configuration is used in the same manner as the first embodiment. However, when the garbage stored in the container body 1 is transferred to the compost production container, the handle is removed after removing the upper lid 3. When the container main body 1 is tilted while holding 4, garbage in the container main body 1 slides down the guide plate 14 and falls into the container main body 1.

  Therefore, according to the second embodiment, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained, and the operation for transferring the garbage stored in the container main body 1 to the compost production container becomes easier. The effect is obtained. Further, by providing the guide plate 14, the garbage can be discharged from the container main body 1 without tilting the container main body 1 so much that the garbage is discharged from the container main body 1 with the water stored in the water storage section 9. Even if it moves to, the effect that the water of the water storage part 9 can be prevented from flowing out is also acquired.

  In the above-described embodiment, the container body 1 has an elliptical cylindrical shape, but may be a circular shape, a triangular shape, a quadrangular shape, or a polygon having a pentagonal shape or more. Moreover, when the container main body 1 is made into a circular cylinder shape, the bottom lid 2 can be attached to and detached from the container main body 1 by screwing.

  Further, the upper lid 3 may not be fitted to the container body 1 but may be opened and closed by a hinge. The container body 1, the bottom lid 2, the upper lid 3 and the like may be formed of metal instead of plastic. Further, although the draining plate 6 is formed by bending the drainage portion 6c at a predetermined angle, the drainage portion 6c may be provided without being bent at a predetermined angle.
