And a suction / exhaust means 7 provided at an appropriate position of the communication pipe 6 for sucking air in the garbage container 4 and discharging the air from the drain pipe 5 to the outside.
[0017]
Here, the drain pipe 5 of the water tank 3 communicates with the communication pipe 6, and if there is a blockage in the drain pipe 5, there is a possibility that the drain pipe 5 flows backward to the communication pipe 6 side. Therefore, between the suction / exhaust means 7 of the communication pipe 6 and the drain pipe connecting part 8, a raised part 9 raised to the same height as the almost upper position of the water tank 3 is formed. Further, a water backflow prevention portion 10 is formed between the raised portion 9 and the drain pipe 5. The volume of the water backflow prevention part 10 is larger than the volume of the rubber cup 11 used when the drainage pipe 5 is clogged.
[0018]
As described above, the raised portion 9 raised to the same height as the almost upper position of the water tank 3 is formed between the suction / exhaust means 7 of the communication pipe 6 and the drainage pipe connecting portion 8. As shown by A, even if the drain pipe 5 is clogged and water accumulates, this water stops at a point in the middle of the raised portion 9 and does not reach the suction / exhaust means 7. Further, since a water backflow preventing portion 11 is formed between the raised portion 9 and the drain pipe connecting portion 8, the rubber tank 11 is pressed by pressing the rubber cup 11 as shown in FIG. Even if pressure is applied to the drain pipe 5 of 3, the water backflow prevention part 10 can sufficiently absorb the increase of water pushed up by the pressure because the volume is larger than the volume of the rubber cup 11, so that the backflow to the suction and exhaust means 7 is prevented. It can be reliably prevented.
