The basic structure of this disposer is to throw in raw garbage and pulverize it, and supply drainage water to discharge the soot. 4 is a schematic longitudinal sectional view of the prior art, and FIG. 5 is a transverse sectional view thereof.
[0003]
4 and 5, the main body of the disposer is fixed to a drain outlet opened at the bottom of a sink 12 having a faucet 14 for water supply. The main body is composed of a bracket 2 and a hopper 4, and an upper end of the hopper 4 is provided with an insertion port 10 with a lid 11 so that a bag can be thrown out from the insertion port 10. A driving motor 1 is incorporated at the lower end side of the bracket 2, a rotating plate 6 is fixed to the shaft 5, and a pair of hammer-shaped rotating blades 7 and 8 are disposed on the upper surface of the rotating plate 6. is doing. The rotary blades 7 and 8 are connected to the rotary plate 6 at the base end side by pins 7a and 8a, and can be freely rotated around the pins 7a and 8a along the surface of the rotary plate 6, and the tip side is thick. As a result, a crushing force can be obtained with the fixed blade 3.
[0004]
A fixed blade 3 is formed in an annular shape on the inner peripheral surface on the upper end side of the bracket 2. The fixed blade 3 is located at a portion covered by the lower end side of the hopper 4 and is arranged to face the rotary blades 7 and 8, and a groove 9 is formed on the inside thereof. Further, a trap 22 which is a U-shaped flow path for sealing water is connected to the bracket 2, and the flow path end serves as a discharge port 13.

When the motor 1 is started, the rotary shaft 5 rotates and the hammer-like rotary blades 7 and 8 rotate together with the rotary plate 6, and the distal ends of the rotary blades 7 and 8 face the inner surface of the fixed blade 3 by centrifugal force. Rotate while taking At this time, the throwing-in hooks and the like are pressed against the fixed blade 3 side by the centrifugal force generated by the rotational movement of the rotating plate 6 and the rotating blades 7 and 8, and the portion that contacts the fixed blade 3 is stopped by the groove 9. The portion not hitting 3 is forcibly rotated along with the rotation of the rotary blades 7 and 8. Therefore, the wrinkles and the like caught in the groove 9 between the rotary blades 7 and 8 and the fixed blade 3 are sheared by the high-speed rotation of the rotary blades 7 and 8 and are finely crushed and discharged through the trap 22 together with water. It is discharged from the outlet 13.
[0006]
[Problem to be Solved by the Invention]
As described above, the conventional disposer uses mechanical shearing between the rotary blades 7 and 8 and the fixed blade 3 to crush and refine the cocoon and promote fluidization while flowing water from the faucet 14. It is to discharge.
[0007]
However, if there is raw meat or corn husk etc. as a koji component, even if the shearing by the rotary blades 7 and 8 and the fixed blade 3 is strong, it is quite difficult to pulverize the fiber into fine pieces. . And if it is going to grind | pulverize to such an extent that it can be poured as waste_water | drain, it will be necessary to lengthen the residence time of a soot, and there exists a problem that it is lacking in the correspondence for business use especially.

[0017]
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a longitudinal section of a disposer and its peripheral devices according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0018]
In the present invention, the water supplied to the disposer main body is heated in addition to crushing by shearing of the cocoon and the fiber is crushed by hot water. The mechanical shearing mechanism is shown in FIGS. This is the same as that shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 1, the same constituent members in the examples shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 are indicated by common reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
[0019]
In FIG. 1, a hot water introduction path 23 is connected to the upper end side of the hopper 4 into which dredging is introduced, and a temporary reservoir 15 provided as a water storage means is connected to the bracket 2 into which the crushing portion of the dredging is fed. . The hot water introduction path 23 is connected to a hot water source 18 such as a water heater on the upstream side thereof, and the hot water is supplied to the hopper 4 by opening a valve 16 for opening / closing operation arranged in the middle as a hot water supply section. Supply in. Further, the temporary reservoir 15 uses an inverted U-shaped tube having a sealing level at a position higher than the rotating plate 6, and has an open end at its lower end as a discharge port 13. Instead of the inverted U-shaped tube, various means such as a trap or a weir that can secure a sealing water level can be adopted.
[0020]
In the illustrated example, the inlet 10 is the inlet, the inside of the hopper 4 is the grinding chamber, the combination of the fixed blade 3 and the rotary blades 7 and 8 is the grinding mechanism, and the flow path to the outlet 13 is the outlet. is doing.
[0021]
In the above configuration, when crushing the soot introduced into the hopper 4, the valve 16 is opened and hot water from the hot water source 18 is supplied into the hopper 4 through the hot water introduction path 23. The introduced hot water accumulates until most of the soot not only in the bracket 2 but also in the hopper 4 is submerged because the sealing level of the temporary reservoir 15 is higher than that of the rotating plate 6. And by keeping supplying the hot water with the valve 16 kept open, the hot water stored in the hopper 4 is always replaced without being cooled, during which the soot is heated by the hot water.
[0022]
In this way, by supplying hot water into the hopper 4, the surface of the ridge before being crushed or in the pulverization process can always be brought into contact with the hot water. For this reason, the denaturation of cell proteins and adhesion proteins can be constantly promoted on the heel surface, and the mechanical strength of the fiber can be deteriorated. Therefore, crushing between the rotary blades 7 and 8 and the fixed blade 3 is quickly performed, and the wrinkles are sequentially and efficiently crushed from the surface.
[0023]
Thus, when degrading the protein contained in the koji using hot water, the temperature of hot water should just be 60 degreeC or more, More preferably, it is 70 degreeC or more. And for efficient crushing of koji, it is necessary to maintain the whole koji at 60 ° C or higher, but efficient operation is always possible as long as the operation of constantly introducing hot water is performed. is there.
[0024]
Even when hot water is supplied, the mechanical shearing and crushing of the cocoon by the rotary blades 7 and 8 and the fixed blade 3 is the same as the conventional technique, but the fiber and the like of the cocoon are destroyed by the hot water as described above. By making it easy to do, crushing efficiency can be increased. Further, if the motor 1 is driven after being immersed in hot water until the entire cocoon reaches 60 ° C. or more, the cocoon is more easily pulverized, so that the pulverization time is shortened and the driving time of the motor 1 is also shortened. Become.
[0025]
Further, when there is no hot water source, as shown in FIG. 2, for example, water pipe 19 or the like is used as a water source 19 to be heated by the heating unit 17 to be hot water, and then the valve 16 is opened and supplied into the hopper 4. The effect is obtained.
[0026]
(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing a longitudinal section of a disposer according to another embodiment and peripheral devices thereof.
[0027]
In this example, instead of supplying hot water from the outside of the disposer main body shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the water supplied from the faucet 14 is heated inside to heat the brine as high-temperature water. It is. That is, a heater 20 is incorporated in the bracket 2 below the rotating plate 6, and a water level sensor 21 for detecting the level of supplied water is provided in the hopper 4.
[0028]
In this configuration, when crushing the cocoon introduced into the hopper 4, water is supplied from the faucet 14 into the hopper 4, and the water is stored in the hopper 4 by the temporary reservoir 15. Then, the water level in the hopper 4 is detected by the water level sensor 21, and the supply of water from the faucet 14 is stopped when the entire tub is immersed. Next, by energizing the heater 20 and heating the soot and water in the hopper 4, the fiber and the like can be deteriorated in strength, and an efficient pulverization process can be performed as in the previous example. .
[0029]
In any of the first and second embodiments, if the pulverization in hot water is performed intermittently, the protein can be pulverized after denaturation of proteins deeper from the surface of the ridge. Therefore, the driving time of the motor 1 can be further shortened, power saving is promoted, and noise generation time can be suppressed to be shortened.
[0030]
Moreover, although the case where the temporary storage channel 15 is used as the water storage means has been described, the same effect can be obtained by adjusting the water level in the hopper 4 using a water level sensor attached in the hopper 4 and a valve attached to the discharge portion.
[0031]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the koji can be easily pulverized by heating the koji with hot water, so that the pulverization can be efficiently processed even for fibers such as raw meat and corn hulls. An effect is obtained.
