Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Objective of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a kitchen waste processing machine that dewaters kitchen waste from a kitchen or the like using a centrifugal dewatering method.

(Prior Art) As a method for processing kitchen waste using a centrifugal dehydration method, a conventional method for processing kitchen waste has been considered to be similar to clothing. That is, a bag made of a mesh bag is stored in a container with an open top and a large number of dehydration holes formed in the peripheral wall, kitchen waste is put into the bag, and the container is rotated at high speed by a motor to remove water inside the bag. The moisture in the kitchen waste is released to the outside through the mesh of the bag and the dehydration hole in the container peripheral wall to dehydrate the kitchen waste, and then the bag containing the kitchen waste is removed from the container and thrown away.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, with the above-mentioned conventional products, if there is relatively soft or small food waste, such as bread dough, noodles, or rice, the food waste may jump out from the mesh of the bag during dehydration. Another problem is that when the bag is removed from the container after dehydration or carried around, the remaining moisture easily drips from the mesh of the bag and stains the floor or hands. be.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to dehydrate kitchen waste such as noodles and rice without any problems, and to make it easier to remove the bag containing the kitchen waste from the container after dehydration or to carry it. To provide a kitchen waste disposal machine which can prevent soiling of the floor, hands, etc. and also facilitate the removal of bags from containers.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The kitchen waste processing machine of the present invention stores a non-porous bag in a container with an open top, stores kitchen waste in the bag, and stores the kitchen waste in the container. By rotating the bag, the moisture in the bag is released from the upper end of the container to dehydrate the kitchen waste, and a groove or a protrusion extending in the vertical direction is formed on the inner surface of the container. It has characteristics in that.

(Function) According to the above-mentioned means, since the kitchen waste is stored in a non-porous bag, the kitchen waste does not fly out of the bag during dehydration, and kitchen waste such as noodles and rice can be disposed of without problems. Furthermore, when the bag containing kitchen waste is removed from the container after dehydration and carried around, the kitchen waste does not jump out of the bag or water drips from the bag, so the floor, hands, etc. are not soiled.

By the way, in such a product, if the non-porous bag sticks tightly to the inner surface of the container during dehydration, it becomes difficult to remove the bag from the container, but by forming grooves or protrusions on the inner surface of the container, As a result, a space is formed between the inner surface of the container and the bag, and air enters through the space when the bag is taken out, so that the bag can be easily taken out from the container.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

First, in FIG. 1, 1 is a sink with an opening 2 formed at the bottom. Reference numeral 3 denotes a mounting frame inserted into the opening 2. A water receiving case 4 is disposed below the sink 1 and is composed of a container-shaped case body 5 and an upper cover 6. Among these, the upper cover 6 is attached to the outer circumference of the lower part of the third mounting frame by screwing, and in the attached state, the upper cover 6 and the attachment frame 3 cover the circumference of the opening 2 of the sink 1 through the gasket 7. It is stuck in place. The flange 5a at the upper end of the case body 5 and the flange 6a at the lower end of the upper cover 6 are connected via a gasket 8 with bolts 9 and nuts 10. A drain port 11 is formed at the bottom of the case body 5, and a filter 12 is provided at the drain port 11, and a drain hose 13 is connected to the drain port 11.

14 is a motor, and a vibration-proof spring 1 is attached to the bottom of the water receiving case 4.
5, and its rotation axis 14a is directed upward. A bearing 1 is placed in the center of the bottom of the water receiver case 4.
A bellows 17 made of an elastic body having a ring 6 is provided, and the upper end of the rotating ring 14a passes through the bearing 16 and projects into the water receiving case 4, and a rotation transmitting member 18 is fixed thereto. .

19 is a container with an open top, and a rotation transmission member 18 at the bottom.
The rotating shaft 14a passes through the bottom of the rotating shaft 14a.
By tightening the knob 20 on the tip of the rotating shaft 1
Connected to 4a. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a plurality of grooves 21 are formed on the inner surface of one container so as to extend in the vertical direction from the top end to the bottom surface. A non-porous bag 22 is stored in the container 19 so as to be freely put in and taken out.
9 is folded back toward the outer peripheral surface side.

Reference numeral 23 denotes a lid with a kitchen waste inlet 24 formed in its center, which is removably attached to the upper part of the container 19, and in the attached state forms a gap 25 for dewatering between the periphery of this lid and one of the containers. ing.

Reference numeral 26 denotes an upper lid detachably attached to the mounting frame 3, in which a cylindrical input portion 27 is formed in the center so as to face the kitchen waste input port 24 from above, and an outlet 28 is formed in the peripheral portion. has been done. Reference numeral 29 denotes a charging section lid that is detachably attached to the upper lid 26.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained.

When processing kitchen waste, as shown in FIG. 23, the upper M26 is attached to the mounting frame 3 of the sink 1, and two input section lids are attached. In this state, the input section! 29 is removed and kitchen waste is thrown into the bag 22 from the input section 27 through the kitchen waste input port 24. At this time, water also flows into the bag 22 along with the kitchen waste.

When the amount of kitchen waste in the bag 22 reaches the appropriate amount, the input section 'M
29, operate a switch (not shown).

Then, the motor 14 is energized, and the container 19 is rotated via the rotation transmission member 18. The container 19
Due to the rotation of the bag 22, centrifugal force acts on the food waste and water in the bag 22.
Along with this, the water rises along the inner surface of the container 19 and
The water is discharged to the outside of the container 19 through the gap 25 between the opening edge of the container 9 and the M23, thereby dewatering the kitchen waste.

The water released from one container is drained from the drain port 1 of the water receiving case 4.
1 through a drainage hose 13 to a sewer or the like. During this dehydration, the groove 21 formed on the inner surface of one container
acts to guide the water in the bag 22 upwards, so
Water is now efficiently released and dehydrated efficiently. Furthermore, during this dehydration, the bag 22 tends to come into close contact with the inner surface of the container 19, but in this case, there is a space between the inner surface of the groove 21 and the outer surface of the bag 22, as shown in FIG. 30, the bag 22 does not come into close contact with the inner surface of the container 19 in the space 30.

After this dehydration operation is stopped for a predetermined period of time, the motor 14
The dehydration operation ends when the power is cut off. By performing dehydration in this manner, the water content and volume of kitchen waste are significantly reduced.

In this case, the bag 22 containing kitchen waste is non-porous, so even if noodles, rice, etc. are stored as kitchen waste, they will not jump out of the bag 22, regardless of the type of kitchen waste. It can be dehydrated.

When the dehydration is completed, the upper lid 26 is removed from the mounting frame 3, and the lid 23 is removed from one container. Then, by stretching the end of the bag 22 and pulling up the bag 22 by holding the end, the bag 22 containing the dehydrated kitchen waste is taken out from the container 19. At this time, a space 30 exists between the bag 22 and the inner surface of one container at the groove 21 portion, and air tends to get trapped from the space 30 when the bag 22 is taken out from one container. Therefore, the bag 22 can be easily taken out from the container 19. The bag 22 taken out from one container can be carried to a predetermined location and thrown away.

In this case, since the bag 22 is non-porous, there is no chance of kitchen waste coming out of the bag 22, and even if moisture remains inside the bag 22, it will not drip onto the floor or the like. Therefore, when handling the bag 22 containing dehydrated kitchen waste, the floor, hands, etc. will not be soiled.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the groove 21 was formed on the inner surface of one container, but as shown in FIG. Also, those bay parts 21. The protrusions 31 may be oblique as long as they extend vertically on the inner surface of the container 19.

Further, by providing a hole in the lower part of the container 19 that communicates the inside and outside, the bag 22 can be taken out from the container 19 more easily.

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, kitchen waste can be dehydrated using a non-porous bag, so kitchen waste such as noodles and rice can be processed without problems. In addition, it is possible to prevent soiling of the floor, hands, etc. when taking out the bag containing kitchen waste from the container after dehydration or carrying it around.

Furthermore, by forming grooves or protrusions extending vertically on the inner surface of the container that accommodates the bags, it is possible to easily take out the bags from the container, and it also has the excellent effect of improving dewatering efficiency. play.
