Description

  The present invention relates to a garbage dried basket.

  Generally, garbage is collected from each household and incinerated in a garbage incinerator at a municipal waste disposal plant. Garbage incinerators treat garbage by putting it into the combustion chamber. However, because garbage contains a lot of water, it has been proposed to remove moisture from the garbage and then throw it into the combustion chamber. . However, garbage is collected from each household while containing moisture and transported to the waste treatment plant, so it is bulky and heavy. An increase is incurred.

Incineration of a large amount of garbage not only generates toxic gases such as dioxins, but also releases a large amount of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO ² ) into the atmosphere. Therefore, it is desirable to reduce the amount of garbage to be incinerated in order to suppress global warming. In addition, when a large amount of garbage is collected beyond the processing capacity of the garbage treatment plant, the garbage is left unattended, which causes problems such as generation of malodors and pests (such as worms). In addition, incineration of food waste requires high fuel costs, increasing the burden on local governments and households.

  By the way, raw garbage is about 20% to 30% of the whole of garbage including about 70% to 80% of water, such as vegetable scraps and fruit peels, and food residue, meat, and fish. It is roughly divided into two types: food waste that contains food. Among these, garbage such as vegetable scraps can be considerably reduced in bulk and weight by drying by sun-drying for about a week, so for example, collect after drying the garbage in each home etc. This makes it possible to reduce transportation costs to the landfill. On the other hand, food waste such as fish is not reduced so much in bulk and weight even when dried, so the problem of transportation cost still remains. If it is possible to completely separate and collect raw garbage such as vegetable scraps and raw garbage such as fish, it is possible to carry out treatment suitable for each, but it is difficult to achieve complete separate collection of garbage .

  In addition, it is often proposed to compost fermented garbage from a composting plant without incinerating the garbage. However, in order to ferment the garbage, it is necessary to remove moisture from the garbage. For this reason, a large scale dehydration facility and a vast sun-drying space are required, which is difficult to achieve in urban areas and must be carried out in areas far from the urban areas. As a result, there is a cost for transporting garbage to areas far from the metropolitan area, and the problem of transport cost has not been solved.

  By removing moisture from the garbage at each household, it is possible to reduce the processing cost and the transportation cost regardless of whether it is incinerated or composted. For example, a garbage receiving basket shown in Patent Document 1 has been proposed as a means for removing moisture from garbage in each household. In patent document 1, it is the garbage receptacle basket installed in the drain outlet of a sink, and garbage is accommodated in metal baskets. In this state, the handle is lowered and the garbage is crushed by the pressing portion to remove moisture from the garbage.

JP 2011-079658 A

  Although patent document 1 crushes garbage and removes water | moisture content, since much moisture still remains in garbage, it cannot be said that water | moisture content is fully removed from garbage. Moreover, in order to remove a lot of moisture, it is necessary to strongly crush the garbage, which increases the burden on the operator. In addition, since the basket of Patent Document 1 needs to crush the garbage, it is formed of a material having rigidity such as metal, so that it cannot be folded when not in use, and the storage space is increased. Have. Although it is conceivable to put garbage into a soft mesh, the mesh is usually in a contracted state and the opening is closed, so it is difficult to put garbage into the mesh. There is.

  In view of the circumstances as described above, the present invention provides a garbage drying basket in which garbage can be easily and reliably put into a net and can be easily dried in each household. The purpose is to do.

  In the present invention, a garbage drying basket for accommodating and drying garbage, which is provided with an upper annular member having a locking member for hanging on a predetermined position, and attached to the upper annular member in an open state. A collapsible mesh member that accommodates garbage, a lower annular member that is attached to the mesh member below the upper annular member, and a string member that connects the upper annular member and the lower annular member. And

  Further, at least one of the upper annular member and the lower annular member may be formed of stainless steel or bamboo. The upper annular member and the lower annular member may be formed in a ring shape, and the inner diameter of the upper annular member may be set larger than the outer diameter of the lower annular member. A plurality of string-like members may be arranged at regular intervals along the circumferential direction of the upper annular member and the lower annular member.

  According to the present invention, since the mesh body is attached in an open state by the upper annular member, the garbage can be easily put into the mesh body from the upper annular member, and the convenience of the user can be improved. it can. In addition, since a foldable net is used, when not in use, the net can be folded into a state in which the upper ring member and the lower ring member are close to each other, and the entire basket is made small. Therefore, the space required for storage can be reduced. In addition, since the upper annular member and the lower annular member are connected by the string-like member, the load of the garbage stored in the mesh body can be received by the string-like member, and the strength of the basket is improved. Can do.

  If at least one of the upper annular member and the lower annular member is formed of stainless steel or bamboo, the strength of the upper annular member or the lower annular member can be ensured. When the inner diameter of the ring-shaped upper annular member is larger than the outer diameter of the ring-shaped lower annular member, the mesh body is folded with the lower annular member inside the upper annular member. The form when not in use can be further reduced. Further, in the case where a plurality of string-like members are arranged at regular intervals along the circumferential direction such as the upper annular member, the load of garbage stored in the mesh body is distributed in a balanced manner to the plurality of string-like members. The strength of can be further improved.

It is a side view which shows an example of the garbage dry basket which concerns on embodiment. It is a top view of the garbage dry basket shown in FIG. It is a figure which shows the use condition of a garbage dry basket. It is a perspective view which shows the state which folded the net-like body. It is a perspective view which shows other embodiment of a garbage dry basket.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below. Further, in the drawings, in order to describe the embodiment, a part or the whole is schematically described, and a part expressed by changing the scale as appropriate, for example, partly enlarged or emphasized is included.

  An embodiment of a garbage drying basket will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view illustrating a garbage drying basket 1 according to an embodiment. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the garbage drying basket 1. In FIG. 2, a part of the hanging string 12 and the net-like body 40 which will be described later is omitted. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the garbage drying basket 1 includes an upper ring (upper annular member) 10, a lower ring (lower annular member) 20, a string-like member 30, a net-like body 40, It has.

  The upper ring 10 is formed in a ring shape using, for example, a metal such as iron, stainless steel, or aluminum, a resin such as plastic, bamboo, or wood. Although the material of the upper ring 10 is arbitrary, the strength of the whole garbage drying basket 1 can be improved by being formed of a material having strength such as stainless steel or bamboo. The upper ring 10 is formed in a circular ring shape, and the inner diameter L1 is set to about 300 mm, for example. The inner diameter L1 of the upper ring 10 can be arbitrarily set, and may be set in accordance with the opening diameter of the net 40 described later, and a place where the garbage drying basket 1 is installed (for example, a veranda or a garden) , Etc. on the sink).

  Further, the upper ring 10 is not limited to a ring shape (circular shape), and may be, for example, an oval shape, an oval shape, a ring shape such as a quadrangle or a hexagon. The cross section of the upper ring 10 is formed to be a circular cross section having a diameter of 2 mm, for example, but is not limited thereto, and may be a cross sectional shape such as a polygon such as a rectangle in addition to an ellipse or an oval. . The size of the cross section of the upper ring 10 is set to a size that can maintain the strength of the upper ring 10. For example, when the upper ring 10 is formed of bamboo, the upper ring 10 can be easily created by deforming a bamboo material having a length of about 1 m into a ring shape and fixing it with a fixture.

  At two locations on the upper surface side of the upper ring 10, fixtures 11 are provided. The fixture 11 is a plate having a through hole, and is disposed on the upper surface of the upper ring 10 so as to face each other across the center. The two attachment tools 11 are each attached with an end portion of a hanging string (locking portion) 12. The hanging string 12 is used for hanging the garbage drying basket 1 at a predetermined position (see hook F in FIG. 3). As the hanging string 12, for example, a metal wire, a resin string such as vinyl, a leather strap, or the like is used.

  In addition, in order to suspend the garbage dry basket 1, it is not limited to the hanging string 12 being used. For example, a hook for hooks is formed on the upper ring 10, and the garbage drying basket 1 may be hung by hanging this hook on a predetermined location. A magnet or a sucker is attached to the upper ring 10 or the like, and the magnet or sucker is used. What is made to adsorb | suck to a predetermined location may be used.

  Similar to the upper ring 10, the lower ring 20 is formed in a ring shape from a metal such as iron, stainless steel, or aluminum, a resin such as plastic, bamboo, or wood. The material of the lower ring 20 is arbitrary, but by forming it with a material having strength such as stainless steel or bamboo, the strength of the whole garbage drying basket 1 can be improved. The same material may be used for the upper ring 10 and the lower ring 20, or different materials may be used.

  The lower ring 20 is formed in a circular ring like the upper ring 10, and the outer diameter L2 is set to about 250 mm, for example. By setting the outer diameter L <b> 2 to be smaller than the inner diameter L <b> 1 of the upper ring 10, the lower ring 20 can be put inside the upper ring 10. Therefore, the outer diameter L2 of the lower ring 20 can be freely set as long as it is smaller than the inner diameter L1 of the upper ring 10. However, the lower ring 20 is not limited to be smaller in diameter than the upper ring 10, and may be the same diameter as the upper ring 10 or may be larger in diameter than the upper ring 10.

  Further, the lower ring 20 is not limited to a ring shape (circular shape) like the upper ring 10, and is, for example, an elliptical shape, an oval shape, a polygonal annular shape such as a quadrangle or a hexagon. Also good. The cross section of the lower ring 20 is formed in a circular cross section having a diameter of 2 mm, for example, like the upper ring 10, but is not limited to this, for example, in addition to an ellipse or an oval, a polygon such as a quadrangle, etc. It may have a cross-sectional shape. The cross section of the lower ring 20 is not limited to be the same as that of the upper ring 10, and may be larger or smaller than the cross section of the upper ring 10. It is to be noted that the lower ring 20 can be easily made of bamboo material in the same manner as the upper ring 10.

  Further, a fixing tool 21 for fixing a net 40 described later is provided on the side surface of the lower ring 20. A plurality of the fixtures 21 are arranged at regular intervals along the outer periphery of the lower ring 20. Note that the number and arrangement of the fixtures 21 can be arbitrarily set. Further, whether or not such a fixture 21 is provided is also arbitrary.

  The string-like member 30 connects the upper ring 10 and the lower ring 20. As the string-like member 30, a flexible member is used, and it is also used as a reinforcing material that receives a load of the garbage G accommodated in the garbage drying basket 1. Further, the length of the garbage drying basket 1 is set according to the length of the string-like member 30. For example, when the string-like member 30 having a length of 400 mm is used, the kitchen garbage dried basket 1 having a length of about 400 mm is formed. However, the length of the string-like member 30 can be arbitrarily set, and can be arbitrarily set according to the length of the net-like body 40 and the installation place of the garbage drying basket 1.

  As the string-like member 30, for example, a metal wire, a resin string such as vinyl, a leather strap, or the like is used. Further, as the string-like member 30, a belt-like or belt-like member may be used. In the present specification, the string-like member 30 is used in the meaning including a belt-like or belt-like member in addition to a so-called string-like member.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the string-like members 30 are provided at six locations at regular intervals along the circumferential direction of the upper ring 10 (lower ring 20). Thereby, each string-like member 30 can disperse | distribute the load of the garbage G, and can receive it with sufficient balance. However, the number and arrangement of the string-like members 30 are arbitrary. For example, three string-like members 30 may be used, and a plurality of string-like members 30 are arranged at unequal intervals along the upper ring 10 or the like. It may be arranged. The plurality of string-like members 30 are not limited to being set to the same length, and string-like members 30 having different lengths may be used.

  The net 40 is attached to the upper ring 10 in an open state. The net-like body 40 is a bag that can accommodate the garbage G, and is formed of a soft material that can be folded. As the net-like body 40, for example, a resin such as vinyl, a natural fiber or a synthetic fiber woven in a net-like shape, or the like is used. The mesh size of the mesh body 40 is set to, for example, 5 mm. However, the mesh size can be arbitrarily set as long as the garbage G to be accommodated does not spill out.

  Further, the mesh of the mesh body 40 is not limited to being formed entirely, and a mesh may not be formed in part. Further, the net-like body 40 is not limited to being the same as a whole, and for example, the mesh near the lower ring 20 may be reduced and the mesh near the upper ring 10 may be increased.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the upper open end 40 a of the mesh body 40 is wound inward from the outer side of the upper ring 10 and arranged downward. At this time, the upper ring 10 is provided with a fixture 11, and a hole for penetrating the fixture 11 may be provided in the mesh body 40, or the fixture 11 is penetrated by the mesh of the mesh body 40. Also good. The opening end 40a facing downward is fixed by the fixture 41 together with the outer mesh body 40. Thereby, the net-like body 40 is attached to the upper ring 10 in a state opened to the upper side. Therefore, the garbage G can be easily put into the mesh body 40 from the upper ring 10.

  A plurality of fixtures 41 are formed along the circumferential direction of the upper ring 10. The fixture 41 is made of metal or resin, and the number and arrangement used can be arbitrarily set. Moreover, the attachment method of the mesh body 40 is not limited to the above. For example, the opening end 40a of the mesh body 40 may be fixed to the surface of the upper ring 10 with an adhesive or the like. Further, the upper ring 10 may be constituted by an inner ring and an outer ring, and the mesh body 40 may be attached by sandwiching the opening end 40a of the mesh body 40 between the inner ring and the outer ring.

  Further, as the mesh body 40, for example, a resin bag-shaped member in which a large number of holes are formed may be used instead of the mesh-shaped body. That is, in the present specification, the net-like body 40 is used to include both a so-called net-like body and a bag-like member having a large number of holes.

  Then, the use condition of the garbage dry basket 1 comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a usage state of the garbage dried basket 1. First, the garbage G is put into the mesh body 40 from the upper ring 10. The thrown-in garbage G is collected at the bottom of the mesh 40. Here, the mesh body 40 receives a load of the garbage G. However, as described above, a part of the mesh body 40 is fixed by the fixture 21 of the lower ring 20, and the lower ring 20 and the upper ring 10 are connected by the string-like member 30. Therefore, the load of the garbage G is transmitted to the upper ring 10 through the string-like member 30, and the load on the mesh body 40 is reduced.

  In a state where the garbage G is accommodated, the garbage dry basket 1 is suspended at a predetermined position by hanging the hook F on the hook F and hanging the string 12. In addition, the shape of the hook F is an example, Comprising: Arbitrary shapes which can hang and hang the string 12 are applied. Moreover, the installation position of the hook F can be set to an arbitrary position. For example, it may be a position where the sun can be dried such as a veranda of a housing complex, a garbage collection place, a garden of a detached house, It may be indoors such as above a sink in a house.

  When the garbage G is accommodated in the mesh body 40, the moisture falls, it is exposed to natural wind, and further dried by being irradiated with sunlight. As food waste G, vegetable scraps, fruit peels, and the like contain about 70% to 80% of the total moisture, so that the weight and volume after drying can be greatly reduced. However, as food waste G, food residues, meat, fish tails, and the like may be accommodated. These contain about 20% to 30% of water as a whole, and the effect of reducing the volume and weight remains unchanged.

  Although it is arbitrary in the period which dries the garbage G, for example, in the case of garbage G containing much moisture, such as vegetable waste and fruit peel, it can be sufficiently dried if it is sun-dried for about one week. Note that the drying period varies depending on the amount and type of garbage G accommodated in the mesh 40, the weather, and the like. However, since the garbage G is contained in the mesh body 40, it can be easily observed from the outside, and the dry state of the garbage G can be easily confirmed from the outside. After drying the garbage G, the dried garbage G is taken out from the mesh 40 and treated as combustible garbage. The garbage G after drying can reduce the processing cost and the transportation cost regardless of whether it is incinerated or composted later.

  In the middle of drying the garbage G, pests such as small flies may be generated from the garbage G. However, if the net 40 is about 400 mm in depth, the small flies are scattered from the upper ring 10 to the outside. The effect which suppresses doing is expected. In addition, when the garbage drying basket 1 is hung outdoors, for example, an insecticide or a deodorant can be appropriately sprayed on the garbage G in the mesh body 40. In addition, a deodorant may be introduced into the net 40 together with the garbage G.

  Further, when the garbage drying basket 1 is not used, the mesh body 40 can be folded to be small. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which the mesh body 40 is folded. As shown in FIG. 4, the mesh body 40 is folded by bringing the upper ring 10 and the lower ring 20 closer to each other. In addition, since the string-like member 30 which connects the upper ring 10 and the lower ring 20 also has flexibility, it is folded similarly. In addition, since the inner diameter L1 of the upper ring 10 is larger than the outer diameter L2 of the lower ring 20 (see FIG. 1 or 2), the lower ring 20 may be in a state of entering the inner side of the upper ring 10. . Thus, since the net | network body 40 grade | etc., Can be folded, it can be made small when the garbage drying basket 1 is not used, and the space for storing in a storage etc. can be made small.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the mesh body 40 is attached in an open state by the upper ring 10, the garbage G can be easily put into the mesh body 40 from the upper ring 10 and used. User convenience can be improved. Further, since the upper ring 10 and the lower ring 20 are connected by the string-like member 30, the load of the garbage G accommodated in the mesh body 40 can be received by the string-like member 30, and the garbage is dried. The strength of the basket 1 can be improved.

<Other embodiments>
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the kitchen garbage drying basket. In the following description, components that are the same as or equivalent to those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted or simplified. 5 (a) and 5 (b) show a part of the garbage dried baskets 1a and 1b, respectively, and the other parts are the same as those of the garbage dried basket 1 shown in FIG. 5 (a) and 5 (b), a part of the mesh body 40 is cut away.

  In the garbage dry basket 1 a shown in FIG. 5A, a punching metal 50 is formed in the lower ring 20. In the punching metal 50, for example, a plurality of through holes 50a are formed in a metal plate. The inner diameter of the through hole 50a is set to such an extent that the garbage G does not fall. The number and arrangement of the through holes 50a can be arbitrarily set. According to this garbage dry basket 1a, since the garbage G is collected on the punching metal 50, the load on the mesh 40 can be reduced.

  In the garbage drying basket 1b shown in FIG. 5B, a plurality of bars 60 are formed in the lower ring 20. The plurality of bars 60 are formed in the lower ring 20 in parallel at regular intervals. As the bar 60, for example, a metal or a resin is used. The interval between the bars 60 is set to such an extent that the garbage G does not fall, for example. The cross section of the bar 60 is arbitrary, for example, a circular cross section, and all the bars 60 may have the same cross section, or bars 60 having different cross sections may be used. According to this garbage dry basket 1b, since the garbage G is stored on the bar 60, the load on the mesh body 40 can be reduced.

  In the garbage dried baskets 1a and 1b shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the garbage G can be held by the punching metal 50 and the bar 60, so that the mesh body 40 is disposed below the punching metal 50 and the bar 60. It does not have to be done. In this case, the mesh body 40 is disposed between the upper ring 10 and the lower ring 20. Further, the punching metal 50 and the bar 60 may be formed integrally with the lower ring 20.

  The embodiment has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above description, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, one or more intermediate rings (intermediate annular members) may be disposed between the upper ring 10 and the lower ring 20. In this case, the upper ring 10 and the intermediate ring are connected by the string-like member 30, and the intermediate ring and the lower ring 20 are connected by the string-like member 30. When a plurality of intermediate rings are used, the intermediate rings are connected by the string-like member 30.

  Moreover, in each above-mentioned embodiment, the cover part which can open and close the opening (opening of the net-like body 40) of the upper ring 10 may be formed. With this lid, it is possible to prevent small flies and the like generated in the mesh body 40 from being scattered outside. In addition, a cover part may be attached to the upper ring 10 via a hinge, and may be formed so that opening and closing is possible.
