Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an inflow rate regulator configured to be able to adjust the amount of garbage flowing into a disposer equipped with a dehydration separation device, etc. A garbage inflow of a disposer in which a regulator is constituted by an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder installed inside the outer cylinder, and the amount of garbage inflow can be easily adjusted by rotating the outer cylinder or the inner cylinder. Relating to a quantity regulator.

(Prior Art) With the remarkable industrial development in recent years, pollution such as environmental pollution has come to the fore as a major social problem.

River pollution caused by domestic wastewater is a typical example of environmental pollution, and the pollution has a particularly large impact on local residents due to bad odors.

Combined with the above reasons, in order to prevent pollution caused by discharging the crushed garbage into the sewer system, the crushed garbage is dehydrated and separated into solids and water instead of being discharged into the sewer system. A disposer has been devised that is equipped with a device configured to discharge only water into a sewer and take out solid matter for secondary treatment such as incineration.

The amount of garbage flowing into the disposer needs to be adjusted depending on the capacity of the dehydration separation device,
The quality of food waste varies, and the dehydration state also varies depending on the quality of the food waste, so the amount of food waste flowing into the disposer must be adjusted depending on the quality of the food waste.

Conventionally, if the garbage is allowed to flow in without regard to the dehydration and separation processing capacity of the disposer, dehydration failure will occur, so the garbage is blocked by hand so that the amount of garbage that is in accordance with the dehydration and separation capacity will flow in. The amount of inflow was adjusted manually by stopping the water and gradually allowing it to flow into the disposer.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, it is extremely difficult to manually control the amount of raw garbage flowing into the disposer as in the above-mentioned conventional method, such as by blocking the raw rubber with your hands and allowing it to gradually flow into the disposer. There were problems in that it was troublesome and required unnecessary effort.

In addition, in the case of commercial use, a large amount of garbage is generated at one time, so manually adjusting the inflow amount becomes even more troublesome and requires unnecessary labor.

In addition, if you manually adjust the amount of garbage inflow by blocking the garbage with your hands and letting it gradually flow into the disposer, you will inevitably come into contact with garbage that has a bad odor and is unpleasant to the touch. However, there were problems such as discomfort.

In addition, as people tend to avoid the hassles and discomforts mentioned above, there is a problem in that food waste is thrown in without regard to inflow control, which causes poor dehydration. .

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a disposer garbage inflow amount regulator that can easily adjust the amount of garbage flowing into the disposer and automatically performs the inflow. .

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an outer cylinder in which a part of the cylindrical side wall is opened and a screw rod insertion hole is bored in the upper surface, and a part of the cylindrical side wall is opened. and an inner cylinder having a screw rod on its upper surface that is inserted into the screw rod insertion hole. An inflow rate regulator is constructed by tightening the two, and the inflow rate regulator is attached to the disposer opening, and the outer and inner tubes are adjusted by operating a handle attached to either one of the outer and inner tubes. A disposer characterized in that by rotating either one of the inner cylinders, the closing area of the cylindrical side wall that closes the cylindrical opening is adjusted, thereby adjusting the amount of garbage flowing into the disposer. The above object is achieved by providing a garbage inflow rate regulator.

(Function) In the present invention, the food waste inflow rate regulator of the disposer has an inner cylinder, which also has an opening, fitted into an outer cylinder, which also has an opening.
The inner cylinder is configured to slide and rotate inside the outer cylinder by rotating a handle fixed to the inner cylinder, so that the rotation angle of the inner cylinder can be simply changed. The opening area of the outer cylinder can be opened and closed by the inner cylinder side wall.

By adjusting the area of the opening of the outer cylinder as described above, it is possible to adjust the amount of food waste that passes through the opening and flows into the disposer.

Note that when the amount of garbage is small, or when garbage is highly dehydrated, the openings of the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder may be aligned to maximize the opening degree.

Furthermore, since the outer cylinder is configured to be fixed to the upper part of the disposer, it will not follow the inner cylinder when it is rotated.

Moreover, contrary to the above-mentioned method, it is also possible to adjust the opening area by fixing the inner cylinder to the disposer and providing a handle on the outer cylinder to rotate the outer cylinder.
