Description

  The present invention relates to a garbage collecting net cage that is detachably attached to a drain outlet portion of a sink in order to collect garbage in drainage.

In kitchens such as system kitchens, a cabinet is often provided with a sink, and a net basket for collecting garbage is often attached to the drain of the sink.
However, the net cage at the drain outlet is a portion where so-called “slimming” is likely to occur. This “slim” is a product of food or food residue attached to it and the propagation of germs.
In order to keep the kitchen clean, it is necessary to remove the slime attached to the net basket, but it is desirable for the user to avoid touching the net basket where the slime has occurred as much as possible.

  Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-41454) describes a split type net cage in which the net cage can be divided into two to facilitate cleaning of the net cage.

JP-A-9-41454 JP 2007-46422 A

Tools used to clean the net basket are often discarded because they become dirty when removing the slime, and are easily wasted.
In the divided type net cage described in Patent Document 1, a separate cleaning tool has to be prepared to clean the divided type net cage, and the storage location of the cleaning tool is also troublesome.

  As another prior art, there is a hair catcher described in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2007-46422) as an example of attaching a cleaning component to a member of a drain port. However, since such cleaning parts are not normally used, there is a risk of loss if such parts are attached.

  The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and when removing dust collected in one divided net cage, the flange portion of the other divided net cage is placed in one divided net cage. By moving along the peripheral surface and cleaning, this net basket can be easily cleaned without contaminating the user's hands without preparing a separate tool for cleaning the net basket for collecting trash. It is another object of the present invention to provide a net basket for collecting garbage which does not require storage of cleaning tools and does not cause the risk of losing cleaning parts.

In order to achieve the above-described object, a net basket for collecting garbage according to the present invention is a circular dish having a circular shape in plan view that is detachably attached to a drain outlet portion of a sink in order to collect garbage in drainage. The cage is formed by joining a plurality of divided mesh cages whose outer periphery forms a partial arc shape so as to be separable at the flange portion, and the outer edge of the flange portion of the outer peripheral frame provided on the divided mesh cage. The curvature coincides with the curvature of the longitudinal section of the mesh constituting the mesh cage.
It is preferable that the flange portion and the outer peripheral frame constituting the divided net cage are formed of a highly rigid material.
Further, as a preferred embodiment, the garbage collection basket is a dish-shaped mesh basket that is detachably attached to the drain outlet of the sink in order to collect garbage in the drainage. A plurality of divided net cages whose outer peripheries form a partial arc shape are joined so as to be disassembled by a flange portion, and when removing the dust collected by one of the divided net cages, The flange portion is moved along the inner peripheral surface of the one divided net cage for cleaning.
The divided net cage has a partial dish shape supported by the flange portion having a flat contact surface, an outer peripheral frame fixed to the flange portion and having an outer periphery forming a partial arc shape, and the outer peripheral frame and the flange portion. It is preferable that the divided cages are joined to each other by a joining means provided on each flange portion so as to be disassembled.
The flange portion exhibits a function as a cage of the divided net cage and a function as a frame member that supports the net, and also functions as a scraping piece for scraping off the dust.
Preferably, the mesh basket has a circular dish shape and can be divided into two semicircular divided mesh cages at the center, and the dust inside one of the divided mesh cages is separated from the other divided mesh. The flange portion of the car is removed by moving along the inner peripheral surface of the one divided net car.
The mesh cage exhibits a filter function for collecting the dust in the drainage when the plurality of segmented mesh cages are joined to the drain outlet by joining the plurality of segmented mesh cages at the flange portion, When disassembled into a cage, it exhibits the function of a cleaning tool that removes the dust collected by the mesh cage with the divided mesh cage and cleans the mesh cage itself.
In the kitchen having the garbage collecting net cage, the above net cage is detachably attached to the drain port of the sink.

  Since the garbage collecting net cage according to the present invention is configured as described above, when removing the dust collected in one divided net cage, the flange portion of the other divided net cage is connected to the one divided net. It can be moved along the inner peripheral surface of the car and cleaned, and even without preparing a separate tool to clean the garbage collecting net car, this net car can be easily obtained without contaminating the user's hands. In addition, there is no need to store cleaning tools and there is no risk of losing cleaning parts.

The net basket 10 for collecting dust is configured by joining a plurality of divided net cages 20a and 20b whose outer periphery forms a partial arc shape so as to be split by flange portions 21a and 21b. The curvature of the outer edges of the flange portions of the outer peripheral frames 31a and 31b provided in the divided net cages 20a and 20b is the vertical cross section of the nets 32a and 32b constituting the net cage 10 ( the vertical cross section of the inner peripheral surfaces of the nets 32a and 32b). The curvature is almost the same.
As shown in FIGS. 8A to 8H, a single divided cage 20
When removing the dust 22 collected by a (or 20b), the flange portion 21b (or 21a) of another divided net cage 20b (or 20a) is replaced with one divided net cage 20a (or 20b). It is made to move along the inner peripheral surface, and one division net cage 20a (or 20b) is cleaned.
That is, the dust 22 on the inner surface of the net 32a of one divided net cage 20a is scraped and removed by the flange portion 21b of the other divided net cage 20b, and the dust 22 on the inner surface of the net 32b of the other divided net cage 20b. Is scraped off and removed by the flange portion 21a of one divided net cage 20a.
Thereby, even if it does not prepare the tool for cleaning the net basket 10 for garbage collection separately, the user can clean the net basket 10 easily, without making a hand dirty. Also, there is no need to store cleaning tools and there is no risk of losing cleaning parts.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, the divided net cages 20a and 20b are fixed to flange portions 21a and 21b having flat contact surfaces 30a and 30b, and flange portions 21a and 21b, respectively, and the outer periphery is partially arcuate. The outer peripheral frames 31a and 31b and the nets 32a and 32b that are supported by the outer peripheral frames 31a and 31b and the flange portions 21a and 21b and have a partial dish shape.
That is, one divided net cage 20a has a flange portion 21a, an outer peripheral frame 31a, and a net 32a, and the other divided net cage 20b has a flange portion 21b, an outer peripheral frame 31b, and a net 32b.

The nets 32a and 32b of the divided net cages 20a and 20b are made of synthetic resin. In order to prevent the divided net cages 20a and 20b from being deformed by being pressed when scraping the garbage 22 of the other divided net cage with the one divided net cage, the flange portions 21a and 21b constituting the divided net cages 20a and 20b. The outer peripheral frames 31a and 31b are made of a highly rigid material.
As this material constituting the flange portions 21a and 21b and the outer peripheral frames 31a and 31b, for example, a synthetic resin having high hardness is generally used, but one (or both) of the two divided net cages 20a and 20b is divided. The mesh cage flange and outer frame may be made of metal.
Examples of the synthetic resin constituting the flange portions 21a and 21b and the outer peripheral frames 31a and 31b include ABS resin (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer synthetic resin) and PS (polystyrene).
As a modification, it is preferable to form the entire divided net cages 20a and 20b from a metal such as stainless steel because the overall rigidity is increased. In particular, if the entire divided net cages 20a and 20b are made of stainless steel, they will not corrode and will last longer.
Further, as a modification, if the outer peripheral portions of the flange portions 21a and 21b are made thin and made into a spatula shape or made rubber like an automobile wiper, the garbage 22 of the divided net cage is moved around the outer peripheral portions of the flange portions 21a and 21b. It can be easily scraped off and is convenient.

The divided net cages 20a and 20b are joined to each other by a joining means 33 provided on each flange portion 21a and 21b. By joining the divided mesh cages 20a and 20b with the joining means 33, the mesh cage 10 has a dish shape in which the meshes 32a and 32b are supported by the flange portions 21a and 21b and the outer peripheral frames 31a and 31b.
The flange portion 21a constitutes a cage of the divided net cage 20a for bringing the divided net cages 20a, 20b into contact with each other, and constitutes a frame member for supporting the net 32a. Similarly, the flange portion 21b forms a cage of the divided net cage 20b for bringing the divided net cages 20a and 20b into contact with each other, and constitutes a frame member for supporting the net 32b. ing.

The joining means 33 has a plurality of protrusions 34 that are formed to protrude from the contact surface 30b of the flange portion 21b, and a plurality of holes 35 that are formed in the contact surface 30a of the flange portion 21a. By engaging the protrusion 34 with the hole 35 so as to be disengageable (in this case, resin fitting), the flange portions 21a and 21b are brought into contact with each other to be disassembled.
The joining means 33 embeds a magnet in one of the flange portions 21a, 21b and embeds a small piece of iron in the other of the flange portions 21a, 21b (or the other flange portion itself of the flange portions 21a, 21b). By making it metal (for example, iron), you may make it join flange parts 21a and 21b so that decomposition | disassembly is possible.

In the present embodiment, the net basket 10 for collecting dust is formed in a circular dish shape and can be divided into two semi-circular divided net cages 20a and 20b at the center. The dust inside one of the two divided net cages 20a and 20b is obtained by dividing the flange portion (the flange portion 21a or the flange portion 21b) of the other divided net cage 20a and 20b into one. It is removed by moving along the inner peripheral surface of the net cage.
Therefore, when cleaning the net cage 10, the user can easily clean the net cage 10 without getting his hands dirty without preparing a separate cleaning tool. There is no need to store cleaning tools because no separate cleaning tools are prepared. Further, since no cleaning parts other than the components of the net cage 10 are used, there is no possibility that the cleaning parts will be lost.
In the present embodiment, the net cage 10 is divided into two at the center, but it may be divided into three, four or the like. In this way, since a wide opening can be obtained in the divided mesh cage, the flange portion of one divided mesh cage of the plurality of divided mesh cages is connected to the inner circumferential surface along the inner circumferential surface of the other divided mesh cage. It is possible to move without any gap, and it is preferable because the dust 22 adhering to the inner peripheral surface can be removed well.

The net cage 10 is a filter that collects dust 22 in the drainage 14 when a plurality of (here, two) segmented net cages 20a and 20b are joined to the drain outlet 11 by joining the flanges 21a and 21b. Demonstrate the function.
In addition, when the net cage 10 is disassembled into a plurality of (in this case, two) divided net cages 20a and 20b, the garbage 22 collected by the net cage 10 is separated into the divided net cage (the divided net cage 20a or the divided net cage). It functions as a cleaning tool that is removed by the car 20b) and cleans the net car 10 itself.
As described above, the net cage 10 exhibits a function as a filter for collecting the dust 22 and also cleans the divided net cage (the divided net cage 20a or the divided net cage 20b) which is a constituent member of the net cage 10 itself. As a cleaning tool that removes the dust 22 collected by the net cage 10. Thus, the basket 10 is self-contained with respect to removing the dust 22.
The net cage 10 is self-contained by exhibiting the function of a cleaning tool that cleans the net cage 10 itself using the segmented net cage (divided net cage 20a or 20b) that is a component of itself. The net cage 10 can be easily cleaned without getting the hands dirty, and the drain port 11 where sliminess or the like is likely to occur can always be kept clean.

8A to 8H show a procedure for cleaning the net cage 10.
When cleaning the net cage 10, first, as shown in FIG. 8A, the net cage 10 is disassembled into one divided net cage 20a and another divided net cage 20b. Then, when removing the dust 22 collected in one divided net cage 20a, the one divided net cage 20a is moved downward as indicated by an arrow B1 with respect to the other divided net cage 20b.
Next, as shown in FIG. 8B, the flange portion 21b of the other divided net cage 20b is moved in a substantially arcuate shape as indicated by an arrow B2 along the inner peripheral surface of the one divided net cage 20a. Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 8C to 8H, the flange portion 21b of the other divided net cage 20b is moved in a substantially arc shape along the inner peripheral surface of the one divided net cage 20a.
As a result, the dust 22 adhering to the inner surface of the net 32a of the one divided net cage 20a is scraped off by the flange portion 21b of the other divided net cage 20b, and the garbage 22 eventually becomes the one divided net cage 20b. Removed from 20a.

In the above-described procedure, the case where the garbage 22 collected in one divided net cage 20a is removed by the flange portion 21b of the other divided net cage 20b has been described. However, the garbage 22 was collected by the other divided net cage 20b. When removing dust, the flange portion 21a of one divided net cage 20a is moved in a substantially arc shape along the inner peripheral surface of the other divided net cage 20b to clean the other divided net cage 20b. Become.
In this way, the dust 22 collected by the one divided net cage 20a and the dust 22 collected by the other divided mesh cage 20b are scraped and removed by the flange portions, respectively. The garbage 22 collected in this way can be discarded as raw garbage generated in a house.

One flange portion 21a functions as a cage of the divided mesh cage 20a and a function as a frame member that supports the mesh 32a, and also functions as a "scraping piece" that scrapes off the dust 22. To do.
Similarly, the other flange portion 21b exhibits a function as a cage of the divided net cage 20b and a function as a frame member for supporting the net 32b, and scrapes off the dust 22. As a function.

Thereafter, if the divided net cages 20a and 20b are washed with water, the divided net cages 20a and 20b are brought into the original clean state. Then, the divided mesh cages 20 a and 20 b are joined to each other by the joining means 33 at the flange portions 21 a and 21 b to assemble the dish-like mesh cage 10.
If the mesh cage 10 assembled in this way is attached to the drain outlet 11 of the sink 9, the mesh cage 10 again exhibits the function of collecting the dust 22 in the drainage 14 as it was.

As described above, when the net cage 10 is cleaned, the flange portion of one divided net cage is moved in a substantially arc shape as shown by the arrow B2 along the inner peripheral surface of the other divided net cage. Thus, the dust 22 adhering to the inner surface of the other divided net cage is scraped off by the flange portion of the one divided net cage.
The nets 32a, 32b constituting the divided net cages 20a, 20b are integrally formed of synthetic resin as described above. Arrow B2 indicates the scraping direction by the flange portion of one of the divided net cages.
As shown in FIG. 9, the inner peripheral surfaces of the nets 32a and 32b of the divided net cages 20a and 20b are flush with each other. That is, the inner peripheral surfaces of the nets 32a and 32b have resin portions aligned on the same curved surface. Therefore, in this case, there is no step in the scraping direction (in the direction of arrow B2) on the inner peripheral surfaces of the nets 32a and 32b that come into contact with the flange portions of the divided net cage, and the net is smooth.
In the modification shown in FIG. 10, the nets 32a and 32b of the divided net cages 20a and 20b include a resin portion 36 extending in the scraping direction (arrow B2 direction) and a resin portion 37 extending in a direction perpendicular to the resin portion 36. There is a step between the resin portion 36 and the resin portion 37. In this case, the inner peripheral surface of the resin portion 36 in the scraping direction (arrow B2 direction) is located on the inner side of the inner peripheral surface of the vertical resin portion 37 and is in contact with the flange portion of the divided mesh cage. Become. Therefore, the inner circumferential surfaces of the nets 32a and 32b are smooth with no step in the scraping direction (arrow B2 direction).
When the nets 32a and 32b of the divided net cages 20a and 20b are configured as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, when the net cage 10 is cleaned, the flange portion of one divided net cage is used as the other divided net. While contacting the inner peripheral surfaces of the cage nets 32a and 32b, the dust 22 that moves smoothly in the scraping direction (arrow B2 direction) and adheres to the inner surfaces of the other divided mesh cage nets 32a and 32b. Can be scraped well without leaving behind.

As described above, the drain port portion 11 of the sink 9 is likely to be slimmed in the mesh basket 10, and therefore needs to be cleaned most frequently in the system kitchen 1, which is a burden on the user.
On the other hand, in the net cage 10 of the present invention, the user can easily clean the net cage 10 without getting his hands dirty, so the drain port 11 is cleaned without imposing a burden on the user, and the system kitchen 1 Can always be kept clean.
