DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a garbage disposal apparatus for feeding a small amount of garbage generated at home for fermentation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a technique relating to a small household garbage disposal apparatus has been known. For example,
This is like the technique described in JP-A-2-56290. However, in the conventional technique, since the lid for closing the garbage input port on the upper surface of the fermenter is screwed into the fermenter, always use both hands to input the garbage. It was necessary to remove the lid while turning it. Therefore, in each case, there was a problem that dirt on the lid portion adhered to the hand and that the garbage carried in the bucket had to be once dropped on the ground.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art, and more particularly, to enable the lid 3 to be opened with one hand and one-touch operation. Also, if the lid 3 opened with one hand is left as it is, it will be in an excessively open state, and the opening and closing pivot hinge will be damaged, so in the present invention, the lid 3 is opened to a certain angle and A stopper portion capable of maintaining an open state in a contact state is formed integrally with a fermenter.

[0004]

The problems to be solved by the present invention are as described above. Next, means for solving the problems will be described. In the opening and closing structure of the lid 3 of the fermenter 2 , the fermenter 2
A hinge bracket 34 protruding more integrally is provided,
Opening / closing pivot hinge for pivoting the lid 3 to the hinge bracket 34
The lid 15 is provided, an opening / closing handle 19 is provided on the side of the lid 3 opposite to the opening / closing pivot hinge 15, a lock mechanism is attached to the opening / closing handle 19, and only when the lock mechanism is released by the opening / closing handle 19. A stopper portion 13 that enables opening and closing of the lid 3 and prevents the lid 3 in the opened state from being opened for a certain amount or more,
Below the opening / closing pivot hinge 15 of the hinge bracket 34
And a part of the lid 3 is
The fermenter 2 should be kept open when placed on the
It is a well-constructed one.

[0005]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
1 is a side view of the garbage disposal apparatus of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a rear view thereof, FIG. 3 is a front sectional view of the garbage disposal apparatus, and FIG. 4 is a side sectional view of the garbage disposal apparatus provided with a solar fan 24. FIG. 5 shows the opening / closing pivot hinge 15 of the lid 3 and the lock fitting 9.
6 is an exploded rear view of a portion of the opening / closing pivot hinge 15, and FIG. 7 is a side sectional view of a portion of the opening / closing handle 19 and the lock fitting 9. As shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3, the overall configuration of the garbage disposal apparatus will be described. The fermenter 2 is constituted by a tank made of a synthetic resin, and a rotating shaft 14 is penetrated through the center of the fermenter 2. The rotation pivot shaft 14 is non-rotatably fixed to the fixed bracket 29 of the support leg 10, and the fixed cutting blade 5 that does not rotate also is implanted on the rotation pivot shaft 14. . As shown in FIG. 4, the fixed cutting blade 5 has a rotating pivot shaft 14 in side view.
It protrudes so as to be radial from. Therefore, when the operator turns the stirring handle 4 while the fixed cutting blade 5 is fixed, the fermenter 2 rotates, and the fermenter 2
The garbage is rotated inside the fermenter 2 with the rotation of
It collides with the fixed cutting blade 5 and is cut and destroyed. The rotation of the stirring handle 4 rotates the small-diameter sprocket 12 in the drive unit cover 30, the small-diameter sprocket 12 rotates the large-diameter sprocket 11 via a chain, and the fermenter fixed to the large-diameter sprocket 11. Rotate 2. As described above, the fermenter 2 rotates, but the rotation pivot 14 is fixed to the fixed bracket 29 and cannot rotate.

As shown in FIG. 1, the lid 3 is configured to be openable by pivoting about an opening / closing pivot hinge 15, and when the lid 3 is rotated to the maximum extent, The lid 3 is prevented from being excessively opened by partially contacting the stopper 13 integrally formed with the fermenter 2. Further, the lower part of the fermenter 2 is formed flat, and this part is opened in a rectangular shape. A mesh plate 7 is attached to the opening, and around a portion where the mesh plate 7 is attached,
A rail-shaped projecting edge 8 is formed, and rainwater
Is configured so as not to enter the inside of the fermenter 2 from the portion. Further, in this configuration, the eave-shaped concave portions 6 are formed on the left and right below the fermenter 2, and ventilation pipes 1 a, 1 b, and 1 c are provided so as to connect the portions of the eave-shaped concave portions 6.

In FIG. 4, a solar cell 25 is attached to the surface of the lid 3 and the drive motor 23 of the solar fan 24 is driven by the electric power generated by the solar cell 25. With this configuration, air sucked from the mesh plate 7 and the ventilation pipes 1a, 1b, and 1c at the lower part of the fermenter 2 is supplied to the lid opening 3 provided on the lid 3 by the solar fan 24.
It became possible to discharge from No. 3. An opening 31 is also provided on the side wall of the fermenter 2 to allow air to enter and exit from the opening 31. As shown in FIG. 6, a hinge bracket 3 provided on the upper part of the fermenter 2
4, an opening / closing pivot hinge 15 is inserted, a washer 18 is interposed, and the hinge is fixed by a pine needle pin 16. In addition, a hinge provided in the fermenter 2 above the opening 31.
The opening and closing pivot hinge 15 is
Below, when the lid 3 is opened,
It constitutes a stopper 13 for blocking. Further, a projection is provided on the lid 3 opposite to the side of the opening / closing pivot hinge 15,
A handle fitting portion 35 is provided on the projecting portion. An opening / closing handle 19 is arranged inside the handle fitting portion 35, and the opening / closing handle 19 is constantly urged toward the lock side by an urging spring 20. The opening / closing handle 19 is pivotally supported by a pivot shaft 21.
The lower side of 1 is a lock fitting 9. The lock fitting 9 is provided with a locking recess, and the locking recessed rod 17 is configured to engage with the locking recess. The locked rod 17 is formed on the surface of the fermenter 2 as shown in FIG.

With the above configuration, when household garbage is collected, the operator puts the garbage in the bucket, carries the garbage to the garbage disposal device, and opens and closes the handle fitting portion 35 with one hand. By grasping the handle 19, the engagement between the lock fitting 9 and the lock-locked rod 17 is released, so that the cover 3 is lifted by grasping the open / close handle 19 and the handle fitting portion 35 as it is. . Then, the opened lid 3 can be placed on the stopper 13 provided integrally with the fermenter 2 and stopped in a state where excessive opening is prevented. As shown in FIG. 1, the lid 3 can be set in a state in which it is not closed while being placed and locked on the stopper portion 13.

[0010]

As described above, the present invention has the following advantages. First, when opening the lid 3 of the garbage disposal apparatus, with the bucket containing the garbage lowered, the opening / closing handle 19 and the handle fitting portion 35 with one hand.
, The lock fitting 9 is removed, and the lid 3
Can be released with one touch. Second
In the state where the lid 3 is opened with one hand, the lid 3 is rotated by rotating the lid 3 until it comes into contact with the stopper 13 as it is.
Since the fermenter 2 can be opened to a position where the fermenter 2 is not closed when the fermenter 2 is placed on the top 3, the fermenter 2 can be held without being excessively opened. Third, fermenter 2
The hinge bracket 34 is provided so as to protrude integrally therewith.
Opening / closing pivot hinge for pivoting the lid 3 to the flange bracket 34
15 so that the fermenter 2 was integrally protruded.
The strength of the fermenter 2 is reinforced by the hinge bracket 34
You can do it. Fourth, open lid
A stopper portion 13 for preventing the body 3 from opening beyond a certain level,
Below the opening / closing pivot hinge 15 of the hinge bracket 34
Sufficient strength due to a flat surface
Hinged bracket 34 as a planar configuration
Since it is used as the stopper portion 13, the stopper portion
Thus, the strength of the portion 13 was sufficient.
