2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 3, a conventional food waste disposal device has a drainage basket 2 provided under a sink 1 of a sink, and a draining basket 3 made of a porous material such as a punching plate or a wire mesh. There was a garbage in the basket. The lower part of the drain tube 2 has a shape like a bowl that has been turned down and is a trap 4 which is usually called a "dog trap", and is configured to prevent odors and cockroaches from entering the sewage. In the above-mentioned device, the garbage was left in the draining basket 3 until it was collected, and then it was transferred to a polyethylene bag or the like, and although not shown, it was stored in the trash box for storage until the garbage collection date. In addition, the water that was made to flow from the currant 5 or the like of the tap water to the sink 1 flowed on the surface of the garbage, flowed out of the holes in the drainage basket, and was discharged to the sewer through the trap 4.

[0003]

However, with the above-mentioned conventional structure, in general households, the garbage in the drainage basket 3 must be transferred to the bag 3 to 4 times a day, which is a very troublesome work for the housewife. there were. In addition, during this work, there is a case where the food waste is directly touched with hands, and harmful summer bacteria of the rotten food waste adhere to the hands in the summer when the temperature is high, which may cause food poisoning, which is dangerous. Also, all the water thrown away in the sink 1 touches the garbage, and as if washing the garbage, some of the garbage will dissolve into the water. In other words, the organic matter, which is the main component of the garbage, is mixed in the wastewater in proportion to the time that the garbage is left unattended, raising the BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) that is a measure of dirt in the wastewater and polluting the river. There is a problem that it may cause the load on the sewage treatment plant to increase. In addition, when storing food waste from the drainage basket 3 in the trash can temporarily, the odor inside the trash can is filled with odor, and the odor leaks out of the bin, and a lot of odors are annoying when taking out on the day of collection. Was always.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to provide a food waste processing apparatus which reduces the amount of work for food waste disposal and is safe in terms of hygiene such as deodorization and spoilage control during temporary storage. Is.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the garbage disposal of the present invention has a drainage tube with an upper end opening and a garbage drop opening and drainage opening at the bottom of a sink. A partition valve attached to the bottom of the sink and connected to the drive unit to open and close the food waste drop opening is installed at the lower end of the food waste drop opening. A drainer with an ozone suction / decomposition device that has a drainer with a drainage, a storage box under the garbage drop opening, an ozone wind generator with a discharge opening inside the storage, and a suction opening inside the storage The amount of suction of the ozone suction decomposition device is set to be larger than the amount of discharge of the ozone wind generation device by communicating with the drainage pipe connected to.

[0006]

According to the present invention, when the raw garbage is thrown into the draining cylinder at the time of generation, the moisture of the raw garbage flows through the holes on the side surface of the draining barrel, and the solid content and the moisture are separated. Next, when the sluice valve is opened by an appropriate means, either manually or mechanically, the garbage is dropped from the garbage dropping port into the bag and is stored in the storage case. After that, the ozone air generator and the ozone suction decomposition device are activated, so that the set discharge amount of ozone air is directly discharged to the garbage, which is set while deodorizing the internal atmosphere and at the same time suppressing the decay of the garbage itself. A large amount of suction is sucked into the ozone suction decomposition device, and the residual ozone is decomposed into air and discharged into the drain pipe. At this time, since the suction amount of the ozone suction decomposition device is set to be larger than the discharge amount of the ozone generation device, the inside of the storage chamber becomes a negative pressure than the surrounding atmosphere, and ozone and It is possible to prevent external leakage of odor.
