Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for treating food waste which directly puts the food waste into a bag from a sink installed in a kitchen, a kitchen, a hotel, a hospital or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 3, a conventional food waste disposer has a cylindrical shape made of a porous material such as a punching plate or a wire mesh in a drainage pipe 2 provided under a sink 1 of a sink. There was a drainer basket 3 and garbage was put in the basket. The lower part of the drain 2 has a shape like an inverted bowl 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 device, the garbage basket 3 is left as it is until garbage is collected, and then it is transferred to a polyethylene bag or the like, and although not shown in the drawing, it is stored in the garbage can because it is stored until the garbage collection day. Also,
The water that was made to flow from the water pipe curran 5 or the like to the sink 1 flowed on the surface of the garbage, flowed out of the holes in the drainage basket 3, and then drained to the sewage through the trap 4.

[0003]

However, with the above-mentioned conventional structure, in a general household, 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. Also, during this work, the garbage is often jammed in the basket and does not fall even if the basket is turned upside down. Therefore, the garbage was touched directly by hand and transferred to the bag. For this reason, in summer when the temperature is high, harmful bacteria of rotten food waste adhere to the hands and 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, which is a measure of dirt in the wastewater.
Increase (biochemical oxygen demand), pollute rivers,
There were problems such as causing the load on the sewage treatment plant to increase.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems, to provide a food waste processing apparatus which reduces the amount of work of food waste disposal and is safe in terms of hygiene.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the food waste processing apparatus of the present invention has an upper end opened and is attached to a lower part of a sink of a sink, and a food waste drop port and a drain port are provided at a bottom part. A drainage tube, a gate valve that can be opened and closed at the garbage drop opening, a trap part that is provided at the drainage opening, a truncated cone with a vertical cross section, and multiple holes on the side. And a bag provided below the food waste drop opening via a partition valve.

[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 any suitable means, either manually or mechanically, the garbage is dropped into the bag through the garbage dropping port and is stored.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 is a sink, and a drain pipe 6 having an open upper end is provided on the bottom of the sink. A raw garbage dropping port 7 and a drain port 8 are provided on the bottom of the drainage pipe 6, and a sluice valve 9 is provided below the raw garbage dropping port 7 and a drain port 8 is provided.
A trap 10 is provided in the lower part of the. Further, inside the drainage tube 6, there is provided a water draining tube 11 which is inserted from the food waste drop opening at the upper end and rests on the food waste drop opening 7. This cylinder does not have a bottom surface but has a truncated cone shape with a lower diameter larger than the upper diameter, and has a plurality of holes 12 on its side surface. Further, the sluice valve 9 is moved left and right in the figure by a motor 13 to be opened and closed.

In the above structure, the garbage drainer 11 is used.
The water contained in the garbage is put into this drainer 11
It flows out through the hole 12 on the side surface of the container, and is drained through the drain port 8 and the trap 10. That is, the water and solids in the food waste are separated as in the conventional food waste treatment device. Further, after the garbage is put in, when the motor 13 is driven to open the partition valve 9 as shown in FIG. 2, the garbage is dropped from the garbage dropping port 7 by gravity and is stored in the bag 14. After the garbage has dropped, if the sluice valve 9 is closed, the draining cylinder 11 becomes a mere drainage passage, and the water discharged from the currant 5 is guided to the sewage through the drainage port 8 and the bowl trap 10.

According to the structure of this embodiment, the bag 1 is simply put into the draining cylinder 6 and the sluice valve 9 is opened and closed.
Since it is packed in 4, it is not necessary to transfer the garbage to the bag 14, and the processing operation of the garbage is reduced. Further, since the water draining cylinder 11 has a truncated cone shape, the garbage does not easily fall and become clogged by gravity as compared with the cylindrical shape. Therefore, the garbage is only touched at the time of loading, and it is safe because the hands are not contaminated by various bacteria. In addition, garbage is drainer 6
Since it can be packed in the bag 14 with a simple operation of opening and closing the sluice valve 9 immediately after being put into the container, the time to contact the water flowing from the sink 1 is short, and the amount of organic matter, which is the main component of kitchen waste, is also dissolved in the waste water. Since the amount is small and the BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) does not increase, there is an effect that the river is not polluted and the load on the sewage treatment plant is not increased.

[0011]

As described above, according to the food waste processing apparatus of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. (1) Since raw garbage is packed in a bag only by putting it in a draining cylinder and opening and closing a sluice valve, it is not necessary to transfer the raw garbage to the bag, and the processing work of raw garbage is reduced. (2) Since the vertical section of the draining cylinder is frustoconical, it does not fall and is not clogged due to gravity, so there is no concern of directly touching the garbage after it is thrown in, and it is hygienic. (3) Garbage can be packed in a bag with a simple operation of opening and closing the sluice valve immediately after putting it in the draining cylinder, so the water flowing from the sink can be touched for a short time, and the organic substances that are the main components of the garbage are The amount dissolved in the wastewater is small and the BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) does not increase, so that it does not pollute the river or increase the load on the sewage treatment plant.
