TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention of this application relates to a garbage processing apparatus. More specifically, the invention of this application relates to a garbage processing apparatus that can suppress overflow of a somewhat large garbage or a garbage processing material with insufficient decomposition from an outlet.
[0002]
[Prior art]
BACKGROUND ART There is provided a household garbage disposal device that decomposes garbage generated during cooking into organic matter and water using microorganisms.
[0003]
As shown in FIG. 2, for example, this garbage disposal apparatus uses garbage, which is made of sawdust-like wood chips called biochips, and in which microorganisms that decompose garbage by fermentation are inhabited. A garbage processing tank (1) filled with a processing material is provided. The garbage generated during cooking is put into the garbage disposal tank (1) and decomposed into organic matter and water by the garbage disposal material. The decomposition of the garbage can be performed, for example, by mixing the garbage with the garbage processing material by rotating the stirring blades (2) disposed in the garbage processing tank (1). Is heated to a temperature suitable for the decomposition of garbage by the garbage processing material.
[0004]
Residue is generated in the garbage disposal tank (1) as the garbage is decomposed, and the amount of the contents increases. However, in consideration of this, the garbage disposal apparatus includes a garbage disposal tank ( 1) A discharge port (3) for overflowing the contents in the discharge port (3) is further provided. The discharge port (3) is detachably connected to the discharge port (3) and accommodates the contents overflowing from the discharge port (3). 4) is provided.
[0005]
Unnecessary materials are the contents of the garbage disposal tank (1) stored in the take-out container (4). The amount of the unnecessary materials is much smaller than the amount of garbage before decomposition, and the disposal thereof is easy. Therefore, the burden on the landfill is reduced. In addition, it can be used as a fertilizer for gardening, for example, without disposal.
[0006]
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, among such garbage processing apparatuses, there is provided a so-called built-in type that is built in a kitchen cabinet (5).
[0007]
In this built-in type garbage processing apparatus, the garbage processing apparatus (7) is arranged at a lower portion near the sink (6) provided in the kitchen cabinet (5), and is disposed in the kitchen cabinet (5) near the sink (6). The garbage input port (8) provided on the upper surface and the above-mentioned garbage processing tank (1) are communicatively connected.
[0008]
Therefore, in the built-in type garbage processing apparatus, garbage generated at the time of cooking can be immediately put into the garbage processing apparatus (7) at the place where the garbage is generated, which is very convenient.
[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
On the other hand, further improvements in functionality are desired for the garbage disposal devices exemplified above.
[0010]
As one of them, the size and shape of the discharge port (3) for overflowing the contents of the garbage disposal tank (1) are pointed out. In order to facilitate overflow from the garbage disposal tank (1), the discharge port (3) is generally slightly larger, specifically, 48 mm × 86 mm as shown in an enlarged view in FIG. Of a rectangular shape.
[0011]
However, while the relatively large discharge port (3) facilitates overflowing, relatively large garbage such as cucumbers and eggplants that are thrown into the garbage disposal tank (1) while remaining relatively large can be used. In a state where the decomposition is insufficient, the contents of the garbage disposal tank (1) may increase and overflow from the discharge port (3) into the discharge container (4).
[0012]
Furthermore, recently, in order to prevent the solidification of the biochip, a 30 mm square cubic solid having a moisture control function called a biocore is disposed in the garbage disposal tank (1) together with the biochip. It is also filled as a material. Therefore, as can be understood from the dimensions, even the biocore may overflow from the discharge port (3) having the above-mentioned size into the extraction container (4). Such overflow of the biocore deteriorates the environment in the garbage disposal tank (1), and causes a reduction in the ability to decompose garbage.
[0013]
The invention of this application has been made in view of the circumstances described above, and is a garbage disposal capable of suppressing the overflow of a slightly larger garbage and a garbage disposal material with insufficient decomposition from an outlet. It is an object to provide a device.
[0014]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The invention of this application is intended to solve the above-mentioned problem.When the content in the garbage disposal tank increases due to the residue generated due to the decomposition of garbage by the garbage disposal material in the garbage disposal tank, In a garbage disposal apparatus provided with a discharge port for overflowing the contents and a discharge container separably connected to the discharge port and containing contents overflowing from the discharge port, the discharge port has an upper part. Garbage disposal characterized in that the width of the garbage disposal tank is narrowed from the bottom to the bottom, and the top is provided with a projection projecting inward in the horizontal direction , thereby restricting overflow of the contents in the garbage disposal tank. An apparatus (claim 1) is provided.
[0015]
Further, the invention of this application is directed to an outlet for overflowing the contents of the garbage disposal tank when the amount of the contents in the garbage disposal tank increases due to the residue generated by the decomposition of the garbage by the garbage disposal material in the garbage disposal tank. And a take-out container, which is detachably connected to the discharge port and stores the contents overflowing from the discharge port, wherein the width of the food waste is narrowed from the upper end to the lower part. A garbage disposal device (Claim 2) is characterized in that a partition plate formed with a notch for restricting overflow of contents in a tank is attached to an existing discharge port .
[0016]
The invention of this application relates to the invention according to claim 2, in the partition plate, the notch upper end, provided that the projection projecting toward the laterally inward is provided a (claim 3) as one embodiment .
[0017]
Hereinafter, the garbage processing apparatus of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.
[0018]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 is a front view of a main part and an enlarged front view showing an embodiment of a discharge port in a garbage processing apparatus of the present invention.
[0019]
The garbage processing apparatus of the invention of this application is based on the garbage processing apparatus provided so far, and for example, as shown in FIG. 1, the discharge port (9) has a width from the upper part to the lower part. It limits the overflow of the contents in the garbage disposal tank (1) shown in FIG.
[0020]
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the width of the upper part of the discharge port (9) is 86 mm, which is the same as that of the discharge port (3) shown in FIG. 5, but is reduced to 30 mm near the center and further lower. It decreases diagonally downward and is 20 mm at the lower end.
[0021]
As described above, in the garbage processing apparatus of the present invention, the contents in the garbage processing tank (1) are generated by the residue generated by the decomposition of the garbage by the garbage processing material in the garbage processing tank (1). As the volume increases, the content overflow is limited. That is, residues that have been sufficiently decomposed by the garbage disposal material and reduced to a size that can pass through the discharge port (9) can overflow, and a relatively large garbage can be discharged while the decomposition is insufficient. Overflow from the outlet (9) is suppressed.
[0022]
In addition, in order to prevent solidification of the biochip, overflow of a cubic solid called a 30 mm square biocore having a moisture adjusting function, which is filled together with the biochip as a garbage disposal material, is also suppressed. For this reason, the environment in the garbage disposal tank (1) is kept good, and the decomposition ability of garbage is kept stable.
[0023]
In the garbage processing apparatus of the invention of this application, a projection (10) projecting inward in the lateral direction is further provided on the upper part of the discharge port (9), so that the garbage which is not sufficiently disassembled is slightly larger and It is possible to suppress the overflow of the biocore more effectively. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the protrusion (10) has a size of 8 mm × 3 mm.
[0024]
Further, in the garbage disposal apparatus of the invention of this application, it is possible to form the discharge port (9) similar to the above, while keeping the discharge port (3).
That is, the partition plate (12) having a notch (11) formed to be narrower from an upper end to a lower portion and restricting an overflow of the contents in the garbage disposal tank (1) is connected to the existing discharge port ( It can be attached to 3). The discharge port (3) partitioned by the partition plate (12) functions in the same manner as the above-described discharge port (9), so that it can be used for an existing garbage processing apparatus. That is, only by retrofitting the partition plate (12) to the existing discharge port (3), it is possible to limit the overflow of the contents in the garbage disposal tank (1), and to prepare a slightly larger raw material with insufficient decomposition. Garbage and biocore can be prevented from overflowing into the take-out container (4) shown in FIGS. 2 and 5.
[0025]
The partition plate (12) is also provided with a projection (10) similar to the above-described discharge port (9) at the upper end of the notch (11) toward the inside in the lateral direction to suppress overflow. Can be increased.
[0026]
Of course, the invention of this application is not limited by the above embodiments. It goes without saying that various modes are possible for the detailed configuration and structure of the garbage processing apparatus.
[0027]
【The invention's effect】
As described in detail above, according to the invention of this application, it is possible to suppress the overflowing of the garbage and the garbage disposal material that are slightly larger than those having insufficient decomposition from the discharge port.
