Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a kitchen waste processing device, and more specifically,
This relates to a kitchen waste disposal device that can drain kitchen waste and dump it directly into garbage bags, etc. [Prior Art] Many kitchen waste processing devices for crushing and dewatering kitchen waste have already been proposed, such as Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-26345 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-234555. That is, in these conventional examples, a crusher J and a dewatering basket are coaxially provided in a casing connected to the lower part of the kitchen waste inlet of the sink, and the kitchen waste to be thrown away is crushed by the crusher blade, and The water contained in it is dehydrated in a dehydration basket that rotates at high speed, and then collected in the dust box. [Problems to be solved by the invention] However, in the above conventional example, first of all there is a problem in terms of safety. In other words, since the principle is the same as a mixer, there is a risk of serious injury if you insert your hand into it. To prevent such accidents, double or triple safety measures are required, and an increase in costs is unavoidable. Additionally, if you accidentally throw away a spoon or knife, there are drawbacks such as the crushing blade becoming chipped and the tableware being damaged. Furthermore, the crushing blade and dewatering basket both rotate at high speed, which generates a lot of noise. [Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a cylindrical kitchen waste receiving container having a kitchen waste inlet provided at the bottom of the sink, and a cylindrical kitchen waste receiving container provided at a predetermined angle from the bottom of the kitchen waste receiving container. a conveyance pipe which rises upwards with a handle and has a kitchen waste inlet at its lower end and a kitchen waste discharge port at its upper end, a screw inserted into the conveyor pipe, a driving means for rotating the screw, and a kitchen waste. and a drainage pipe that communicates with the bottom of the receiving container and discharges the water inside the container, and the conveying pipe has at least one part for taking in kitchen waste and one part for discharging the water inside the container.
The pipe body is characterized by having a diameter of the base end portion larger than the diameter of the pipe body. In this case, the pitch at the base end of the screw is larger than the pitch at the pipe body of the same screw. Furthermore, a relay pipe whose inner wall surface has a truncated conical shape is connected between the base end portion of the conveyance pipe and the pipe body. [Operation] The kitchen waste dumped into the kitchen waste receiving container is taken into the conveying pipe through the kitchen waste intake port by the rotation of the screw, and
The same screw transports the waste toward the kitchen waste outlet.
In this case, the diameter of the base end of the conveying pipe is larger than the diameter of the pipe body, so that the kitchen waste is reliably taken into the conveying pipe and is not included in the kitchen waste during the conveyance process inside the pipe body. The remaining water will be drained. After that, the kitchen waste is discharged from the kitchen waste outlet into a garbage bag that has been set in advance at the kitchen waste outlet. 〔implementation
Example] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, this kitchen waste processing apparatus includes a cylindrical kitchen waste receiving container 3 having a kitchen waste inlet 2 provided at the bottom of a sink 1. A draining basket 4 made of gold horse or resin is removably housed in the kitchen waste container 3. At the bottom of the kitchen waste receiving container 3, a conveying pipe 5 is provided that rises diagonally upward from the bottom at a predetermined angle. A kitchen waste intake port 5a that opens to the bottom of the kitchen waste receiving container 3 is formed at the lower end of the transport pipe 5, and a kitchen waste outlet 5b is provided at the upper end of the transport pipe 5. A screw 6 is rotatably inserted into the conveying pipe 5. Further, a motor 7 for rotating a screw 6 is attached to the lower end side of the conveying pipe 5. However, the motor 7 may be provided at the upper end of the conveying pipe 5. A draining basket 4 is placed around the kitchen waste intake port 5a of the transport pipe 5.
In this case, as shown in Fig. 2, the kitchen waste winding side of the screw 6 (in this example, the screw 6 rotates counterclockwise, so the left end in Fig. 2) is fitted. ) The left wall 4a of the drainer 4 is shaped to rise almost perpendicularly from the kitchen waste winding end A. Preferably, it is in the tangential direction at the kitchen waste winding end A of the screw 6, but it may open slightly outward from that. On the other hand, the right wall 4b of the drainer 4 is formed so that its lower part bulges outward. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the conveying pipe 5 includes a 3&end portion 2o having a kitchen waste collector 1'' 5a, and a pipe main body 2l having a kitchen waste outlet 5b formed at the upper end.
It is equipped with a relay pipe 22 interposed between them. The base end portion 20 is made of reinforced resin, for example, and its diameter is made larger than the diameter of the pipe body 2l in order to improve the ability to take in kitchen waste.
The blade fin pitch P1 of the screw 6 at 0 is made larger than the pitch P8 between the blades of the screw 6 in the pipe body 2l. In this embodiment, the pipe main body 2l is also made of reinforced resin like the base end portion 20, but its inner surface is designed to efficiently return drained water into the kitchen waste receiving container 3 and allow the kitchen waste to rotate integrally with the screw 6. A suitable number of slit grooves are formed along the axial direction to act as a resistance against this. Relay vibe 22 is I
It is preferably made of a metal material such as aluminum die-casting or stainless steel, and a truncated cone 22a is formed on its inner wall to communicate the base end portion 20 and the pipe body 2l. In the relay pipe 22, the screw 6 is also shaped to converge into a funnel shape in the direction of transporting the food waste. According to this example. A cutter pipe 23 is provided within the relay pipe 22 and cuts the kitchen waste between it and the spiral blade of the screw 6. When assembling, first insert the screw 6 into the base end portion 20.
Next, the relay pipe 22 and the cutter pipe 23 are inserted, and then the pipe main body 2l is covered, and the flange 21a is screwed to the cylindrical receiving part 3a of the garbage receiving container 3. Although not shown in detail, in order to efficiently drain water from the kitchen waste, the volume inside the pipe body ll is
It gradually becomes smaller towards the top. As a method, the pipe body 21 and the screw 6
Gradually reduce the diameter in two directions,
Or increase the shaft diameter of screw 6. Furthermore, there is a method of increasing the helical pitch of the screw 6. A garbage bag 8 made of a resin film is attached to the garbage outlet 5b of the conveying pipe 5 by a fitting 9 having a cylindrical shape, for example. In this device, the garbage bag 8 is placed, for example, in a case l3 provided on the front side of the sink l, but in this case, the case l3 can be pivoted by a hinge l4 provided at the lower part of the back side of the case l3. It is supported. In addition, a magnetic plate l5 is attached to the upper part of the back side of the case 13.
A magnet l6, which is connected to the plate l5, and a microswitch l7, which is turned on and off depending on the inclination angle of the case l3, are arranged on the housing side of the device. Referring again to FIG. 2, a drainage pipe 12 is connected to the bottom of the garbage receiving container 3 for discharging the waste water in the container. In this case, the drain pipe l2 is provided with a trap 12a for keeping the liquid level of the waste water stored in the kitchen waste receiving container 3 above the kitchen waste intake port 5a. Next, we will explain the operation of this device.
First, open #il3a of the case 13, attach the garbage bag 8 to the garbage outlet 5b of the conveying pipe 5 using the fitting 9, and attach the lid 13.
Close a. At this time, since almost no weight is applied to the case 13, the case 13 is held in its normal position by the magnet 16, and the microswitch 17 is turned on. This state is maintained until a predetermined weight of kitchen waste is accumulated in the garbage bag 8. When kitchen waste is input from the kitchen waste input port 2 and the screw screw 6 is rotated by the motor 7, the kitchen waste is conveyed through the conveying pipe 5 by the screw 6, and after being drained on the way, the garbage is discharged from the kitchen waste discharge port 5b. It is discharged into bag 8. In this case, since the base end α20 having the kitchen waste intake port 5a is formed to have a larger diameter than the pipe main body, the kitchen waste is efficiently taken into the kitchen waste intake port 5a, and as it goes toward the pipe main body 2l side, The water is drained. In this way, the kitchen waste is finally discharged from the kitchen waste discharge port 5b into the garbage bag 8, but as the weight of the waste increases, the case l3 resists the attraction force of the magnet l6 and moves toward the front side of the loader. Lean. As a result, the microswitch 17 is turned off, the motor 7 is stopped, and a notification means such as a buzzer (not shown) is used to notify that the garbage bag 8 is full. In addition, since the kitchen waste intake port 5a is submerged in the wastewater stored in the kitchen waste receiving container 3, the bad odor and abnormal odor generated in the garbage bag 8 will not flow back to the sink l side. [Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, since it uses a screw, it is safer and quieter than conventional crushing blades. In addition, by making the diameter of the base end portion of the transfer pipe with the kitchen waste intake port larger than the diameter of the pipe body where the kitchen waste discharge port is formed, kitchen waste can be reliably taken into the transfer pipe. , Water is drained effectively on the front side of the pipe body, so even relatively large kitchen waste can be disposed of in a short time.
