Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a food waste storage cabinet, and more specifically, the purpose of this invention is to improve its operability and prevent malfunctions while preventing food waste odors from entering indoors. Regarding the technology to be used.

Conventionally, in order to prevent food waste odors from entering the room, food waste storage facilities have been equipped with a ventilation fan, and a switch to operate this ventilation fan has been installed inside the room. When I opened the door, holding the garbage in one hand and holding the handle of the garbage storage door in the other hand, I found that the ventilation fan had stopped working and I opened the door. However, there is a problem with odors entering the room.
Additionally, there was a problem that malfunctions were likely to occur due to adhesion of dust or moisture.

The present invention was devised in view of these problems, and its purpose is to provide a food waste storage with a rational structure that prevents odors from entering the room.

That is, in the present invention, a through hole 2 is provided in the outer wall 1 to communicate the outdoor side and the indoor side, an opening/closing door 3 is provided in the through hole 2, and a garbage storage case 4 is provided on the outdoor side in communication with the through hole 2. A ventilation fan 5 is attached to the garbage storage case 4, and a non-contact type reed switch 19 is used as an operation switch that can operate the ventilation fan 5 by the opening operation of the opening/closing door 3, and the opening/closing door 3 and the ventilation fan 5 are electrically linked. The magnet 18 for operating the reed switch 19 is provided on the back side of the opening/closing door 3, and the magnet 18 is brought into contact with the inner surface of the circumferential rib at the edge of the opening/closing door 3. By configuring the device in this way, the above object can be achieved.

The present invention will be specifically explained below with reference to Examples.
6 is a box-shaped garbage storage installed on the outdoor side of the outer wall 1. An outer wall 1 is provided with a through hole 2 penetrating between indoors and outdoors, and this through hole 2 serves as a garbage inlet 7. The indoor side of the garbage inlet 7 opens into the kitchen, and a door 3 that can be opened and closed is hinged to this opening, and the outdoor side of the garbage inlet 7 opens into the kitchen at the top of the garbage storage case 4. It's communicating. Below the garbage inlet 7 in the garbage storage case 4,
A garbage container 8 that can be taken in and taken out is housed inside, and a front opening 9 of the garbage storage case 4 is provided with a door 10 that can be opened and closed. Top plate 1 of garbage storage case 4
A flat plate 12 is disposed below the top plate 11 substantially parallel to the top plate 11, and an exhaust passage 13 is formed between the top plate 11 and the ceiling plate 12. A ventilation fan 5 is provided approximately in the center of the ceiling board 12, and the ventilation fan 5 guides odor from above the garbage receiving container 8 into the exhaust passage 13. Door 10 of exhaust passage 13
An exhaust port 14 is provided in a portion facing the upper end, and a recess 15 for attaching a deodorizer is provided in the exhaust port 14 portion.
A cassette-type deodorizer 16 is removably mounted in this recess 15 for attaching the deodorizer. 17 is an air inlet provided at the lower end of the door 10. The food waste storage 6 configured as described above is normally vented from above the waste receiving container 8 through the exhaust port 14 via the exhaust passage 13 using the ventilation fan 5, and the odor in the exhaust is deodorized using the deodorizer 16. and released into the atmosphere. At this time, when the deodorizing agent 16 deteriorates over time, it is replaced with a new deodorizing agent 16.

A magnet 18 is attached to the swinging tip side of the opening/closing door 3, and a reed switch 19 is used as a switch for energizing the ventilation fan 5.
By providing 9 near the door stop 20 for the opening/closing door 3, when the opening/closing door 3 is opened by holding the handle 21, the magnet 18 is far away from the reed switch 19, and the reed switch 19 is turned on and the power is turned off. 22
The ventilation fan 5 is operated to prevent odor from entering the room.

In such a case, the magnet 18, as shown in FIG.
The magnet 18 is positioned by coming into contact with the inner surface of the peripheral rib at the edge of the opening/closing door 3.

In summary, the present invention is configured so that a ventilation fan is attached to the garbage storage case, and the opening/closing door and the ventilation fan are electrically linked so that the opening/closing door and the ventilation fan can be activated by the opening operation of the opening/closing door. The ventilation fan can be activated automatically when the door is opened.
This prevents odors from entering the room from the garbage storage case when the door is opened.
Moreover, by using a non-contact type reed switch as the operating switch of the ventilation fan, there is no possibility of dirt getting stuck in the actuator of the operating switch and malfunction, and the back side of the opening/closing door which is the movable side By providing a magnet to operate the reed switch, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of rust on the magnet due to water-containing dirt adhering to the magnet, and in this respect, it also prevents malfunctions and provides long-term service life. It has the advantage of being able to open and close the operating switch stably over a long period of time.Moreover, in order to provide the magnet that operates the reed switch on the back side of the opening/closing door, it is necessary to place the magnet against the inner surface of the circumferential rib at the edge of the opening/closing door. Since they are in contact with each other, the magnets can be positioned by the circumferential ribs, and the magnets are sufficiently protected by the circumferential ribs, further enhancing the above effect.
