Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a kitchen waste storage provided with a refrigerator.

Conventional Technology Conventionally, in places where food waste is generated, such as in restaurants and kitchens of ordinary households, kitchen waste storage areas have been installed using deodorizers and air fresheners to prevent the smell of putrefaction. Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 5
A refrigerator for storing kitchen waste was used as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-141901 so as not to be bothered by bad odors.

Hereinafter, the conventional kitchen waste storage as described above will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a conventional kitchen waste storage.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a main body of the kitchen waste storage, and a door 3 is provided via a hinge 2 so that the door 3 can be opened and closed. The main body 1 includes a cooling compressor 4 and a cooler 5.
The inside 6 of the refrigerator is cooled. The interior 6 is also provided with a kitchen waste storage container 8 for storing food waste 7.

The kitchen waste storage constructed as described above will be explained below.

Food waste 7, which is generated during cooking or leftover food in restaurants and home kitchens, is prone to decomposition and generate bad odors in humid environments such as Japan. Therefore, to prevent decomposition, the food waste 7 is stored in a kitchen waste storage container 8, refrigerated in the refrigerator 6 of the main body 1, and kept in a low temperature and dry state until the garbage collection day by a public organization or the like.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above configuration, when storing food waste, the cooled food waste storage container must be taken out of the refrigerator and the food waste stored therein, so the temperature between the container and the outside temperature may vary. Due to the difference, there was a problem that dew condensed on the outer surface of the food waste storage container, and the floor surface became dirty when the container was taken down to put food waste in it.

In addition, when food waste is stored in a food waste storage container, water from the food waste leaks and not only can the floor become dirty, but also condensation occurs when the food waste storage container itself is opened. The problem of water dripping onto the floor and staining it could not be ignored.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it not only stops food waste from rotting, but also prevents the inside of the refrigerator from becoming dirty due to the layer of moisture attached to it. A hygienic kitchen that does not drip onto the floor.

It provides a waste storage.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the kitchen waste storage container of the present invention includes a kitchen waste storage container with an opening at the top surface for storing food waste and a bottom surface inclined downwardly toward the front, and a kitchen waste storage container having an opening at the top surface for storing food waste and a bottom surface inclined downwardly toward the front. This door has a removable pull-out door attached to the container, a dew catcher on the underside of the garbage storage container, and a drain hose that guides the condensed water received from this to the evaporation tray installed in the main unit. A refrigerator is installed to cool the inside of the refrigerator to at least 0 degrees Celsius or below.

Function: With the above structure, food waste can be taken in and out easily by opening the door of the kitchen waste storage, and the condensation water that is generated when the kitchen waste storage container is pulled out from the inside of the storage is received by the dew catcher. The drain hose allows the water to be led to the evaporation dish, preventing condensed water from dripping onto the floor. Further, since the inside of the refrigerator is cooled to below 0 degrees Celsius, the stored garbage can be frozen and preserved.8 Example Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

Reference numeral 9 denotes the main body of the kitchen waste storage, to which a door 11 is attached via a guide tray 10 so as to be freely openable and closable in the front and rear directions. A kitchen waste storage container 13 with an open top surface is removably attached to the inside 12 side of the field 11, and a dew tray 14 is attached to the lower side of the kitchen waste storage container 13 outside the warehouse. .

Further, a drain hole 16 is provided in the lower part of the main body 9, so that the frost water in the refrigerator interior 12 is guided to the evaporation tray 16. Condensed water is also led from the dew pan 14 to the evaporation pan 16 via a drain hose 17. On the other hand, the inside of the refrigerator 12 is cooled to at least 0 degrees Celsius or lower by a refrigerator 18.

The function of the kitchen waste storage constructed as described above will be explained below.

The inside of the main body 9 is cooled to at least 0 degrees Celsius or lower (preferably -18 degrees Celsius or lower). First, the door 11 is opened when storing raw garbage 7 generated in a restaurant, a general household kitchen, etc. into the main body 9. A kitchen waste storage container 13 is attached to the inside of the door 11, and its opening is located on the top surface, making storage easy.
The water droplets of the garbage 7 do not stick to the inner wall of the chamber 12, making it sanitary. In addition, since the inside of the refrigerator 12 is kept below 0 degrees Celsius by the refrigerator 17, the food waste 7 will not rot while it is stored in the refrigerator 12, and the water will freeze, so the juice will flow out. There's nothing to do.

Next, when the SLL is opened to take out the food waste 7 stored in the refrigerator interior 12, the food waste storage container 13, which has been cooled to below 0 degrees Celsius, is exposed to the atmosphere at room temperature. Water in the atmosphere condenses and adheres to the outer surface of the kitchen waste container 13. Then, the condensed water flows down the outer surface of the kitchen waste storage container 13 and collects on the bottom surface of the kitchen waste storage container 13. Since the bottom surface of the kitchen waste storage container 13 is sloped forward and downward, the condensed water flows forward along this bottom surface and drips at the front part of the bottom surface. Then, the dew condensation water is received by a dew tray 14 provided on the lower side of the kitchen waste storage container 13 and provided in 5i111. Furthermore, the condensed water received by the dew pan 14 is
It is led to the evaporation dish 16 by a drain hose 17.

Therefore, when the food waste 7 is stored in the interior 12 of the kitchen waste storage, it freezes and its decomposition does not progress. Moreover, when the door 11 is opened and the kitchen waste storage 13 is pulled out from the inside 12, the condensed water can be collected by the dew pan 14, and the floor surface will not be soiled.

It is generally known that the freezing temperature of a substance is affected by its molar concentration, and that a substance with a high molar concentration has a lower freezing temperature (freezing point). Therefore, the temperature inside the refrigerator 12 is
In order to freeze, it is desirable to keep the temperature below minus 18 degrees Celsius.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention stores food waste in a food waste storage container that is attached to the inside of a food waste storage cabinet whose interior is cooled to below 0 degrees Celsius and has an open top surface. A hygienic kitchen waste storage cabinet that prevents decomposition that freezes and causes bad odors, and that by installing a dew catcher at the bottom of the inside of the door, the floor surface will not get dirty due to condensation water when the door is opened and closed. This is what we provide.
