Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a garbage storage device installed in a kitchen or the like and used to store garbage and other odor-generating substances.

2. Description of the Related Art Cooking waste and the like are generally generated in kitchens, etc., and it is desired to store them in a manner that does not spoil the aesthetic appearance of the kitchen, etc., or emit bad odors.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a conventional garbage storage device. This garbage storage device has a structure in which a garbage container 2 is installed inside a kitchen furniture 1. Specifically, the garbage container 2 is fixed inside a door 3. When the door 3 is opened, an operating string 4, one end of which is fixed inside the kitchen furniture 1, pulls open the lid 5 of the garbage container 2, allowing garbage to be thrown in.

Problems to be solved by the invention In this configuration, the garbage container 2 is connected to the kitchen furniture 1.
Since it is housed inside, it has the advantage of not spoiling the aesthetics of the kitchen, but there is a problem that odor can leak into the kitchen through the gap in the door. For this reason, it is conceivable to provide a fan device for forcibly exhausting the air, but it is not preferable to operate this all the time from the viewpoint of power consumption.

The present invention has been made with the above-mentioned conventional problems in mind, and an object of the present invention is to provide a storage device for garbage, etc., which can store garbage, etc. without impairing the aesthetic appearance of the room, and which performs an effective exhaust operation.

Means for Solving the Problems The garbage storage device of the present invention includes a storage cabinet having an opening, an opening/closing body for opening and closing the opening of the storage cabinet, a storage container provided in the cabinet, and a container inside the storage container. a fan device for discharging the odor outdoors; an interlocking switch configured in conjunction with the opening/closing operation of the opening/closing body to control the fan device on and off; and a temperature sensor connected in parallel with the interlocking switch and installed in the housing cabinet. and a temperature sensor section that controls the fan device to turn on and off based on a predetermined output of the temperature sensor, and a manual switch that is connected in series with the temperature sensor section and controls the input to the temperature sensor section on and off, The interlocking switch is turned on when the opening/closing body is opened.

Function This allows the fan device to be effectively driven when necessary, reducing power consumption and drive compared to a device that constantly drives the fan device, and also turns on the manual switch for the temperature sensor when the opening/closing body is opened. Since the fan device is always driven regardless of the off state, it is possible to reliably reduce the leakage of odor to the worker when the opening/closing body is opened to throw in garbage.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.

In the figure, 6 is a garbage storage cabinet.
The front side has an opening/closing body 7 that can be folded forward, and a garbage container 8 with an open top is integrally provided at the rear of the opening/closing body 7. The upper part of the opening/closing body 7 is formed so as to overlap the upper edge of the front opening of the garbage storage cabinet 6. A fan device 9 is installed inside the garbage storage cabinet 6 at a position corresponding to the rear upper part of the opening of the garbage container 8. This fan device 19 has a fan 10 as its main element, and includes an inlet 11 and an outlet 12 facing the opening of the garbage container 8.
A discharge pipe 14 is provided which penetrates the wall 13 from the discharge port 12 and is led out to the outdoors.

The energizing circuit of the fan 10 is constructed as shown in FIG. 4, and includes an interlocking switch 15 that is turned on and off by opening and closing the opening/closing body 7, and a temperature sensor section 16 connected in parallel to the interlocking switch 15. This temperature sensor section 1
6 is connected in series with a manual switch 17.
This temperature sensor section 16 is operated by a relay 19 that operates based on the output of a temperature sensor 18 that detects the temperature inside the garbage storage cabinet 6. The interlocking switch 15 and the manual switch 17 each have their operating bodies located in front of the opening of the garbage storage cabinet 6, and the interlocking switch 15
When the opening/closing body 7 is closed, the operating body is pressed to turn off the switch, that is, only when the opening/closing body 7 is opened, the fan 10 is energized to perform forced exhaust.

In the above configuration, when the opening/closing body 7 is opened, the interlocking switch 15 is turned on, and the smell of garbage is forcibly discharged outdoors by operating the fan 10.

Therefore, almost no odor flows into the room when the door is opened.

Next, when the opening/closing body 7 is closed, the interlocking switch 1
5 is turned off and the fan 10 is not operated. However, since odor may leak into the room through the joint gap between the opening and closing body 7, it is preferable to operate the fan 10. Therefore, when the manual switch 17 is turned on and the temperature inside the garbage storage cabinet 6 reaches a temperature where odor is likely to be generated, the temperature sensor 18 detects the temperature, and the temperature sensor section 16 is turned on via the relay 19. Then, the fan 10 is energized to forcibly exhaust the air.

That is, the fan 10 is operated only when the temperature is such that odor is likely to be generated, and the power consumption is lower than that of continuous operation, and the level of operational noise is also reduced.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, the present invention has an interlocking switch that turns on when the opening/closing body is opened, a temperature sensor section that controls the fan device on and off depending on the temperature, and an input to the temperature sensor. Since manual switches for on/off control are connected in parallel, the fan device can be operated effectively when needed, reducing power consumption and noise compared to a device that constantly drives the fan device. When the opening/closing body is opened, the fan device is always activated regardless of whether the manual switch for the temperature sensor is on or off, so it is possible to reliably reduce the release of odors to the worker when the opening/closing body is opened and garbage is thrown in. It is something.
