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 processing apparatus has an outer shell 2 provided under a sink 1 of a sink,
A dust container 4 attached to the openable / closable door 3 is provided, an ozonizer 5 for injecting ozone air into the dust container 4, a suction device 6 for sucking and decomposing residual ozone in the dust container 4 and discharging it to the outside air, and a disassembling device. Some are equipped with a device 7. In the above device, when the garbage is put in or the opening of the garbage container 4 is exposed by opening the door 3 for taking out the garbage on the collection day, the suction device 6 and the disassembling device 7 are operated to remove the garbage. The residual ozone in the container 4 was kept out of the kitchen space as much as possible.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional structure, the residual ozone leaks to the kitchen space at the moment when the door 3 is opened to expose the opening of the dust container 4. In addition, in general households, it is common to move the garbage in the drainage basket to the garbage container 3 to 4 times a day, and as a result, ozone leaks frequently when the door 3 is opened as described above. Was invited. Therefore, even if deodorization and spoilage prevention of food waste can be performed in the container 4, the impression of the deodorization effect is deteriorated due to the leakage of ozone into the kitchen space.

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]

In order to achieve the above object, the food waste disposal system of the present invention has a drainage pipe having an open top and a food waste drop port and a drainage port at the bottom attached to the bottom of a sink sink. , A partition valve connected to the drive unit is installed at the lower end of the food waste drop port to open and close the food waste drop port, and a draining cylinder with multiple holes on the side surface is provided directly above the food waste drop port inside the drainage pipe. , Including a garbage container with an opening at the top and a door with a door locking device for locking the door and providing an ozonizer in the deodorizing passage circulating inside the housing, An ozone decomposing device having an ozone decomposing passage that circulates inside the storage is provided, and the ozonizer is provided so as to operate when the door is locked.

[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 container through the garbage dropping port and is stored in the storage. After that, when the deodorizing device operates, a predetermined amount of ozone air is directly discharged from the ozonizer to the garbage, which circulates in the internal atmosphere to deodorize and suppress the decay of the garbage itself. On the other hand, when taking out the garbage container on the collection day, the ozonizer is stopped and the ozone decomposing device operates instead to decompose the residual ozone in the garbage container and then the locking device of the garbage container is released. Can be taken out.

[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 8 having an open upper end is provided at the bottom of the sink. A raw garbage dropping port 9 and a drain port 10 are provided on the bottom of the drainage pipe 8, a sluice valve 11 is provided below the raw garbage dropping port 9, and a bowl trap 12 is provided below the drain port 10. Further, inside the drainage cylinder 8, there is provided a drainer cylinder 13 which is inserted from the raw garbage drop opening 9 at the upper end and rests on the raw garbage drop entrance 10. The draining cylinder 13 has no bottom surface and a plurality of holes 14 are opened on the side surface. Further, the sluice valve 11 is moved left and right in FIG. In addition, the garbage drop port 9
Directly underneath is a storage box 19 in which a bag 16 is attached and which contains a container 18 fixed to a door 17. Further, a deodorizing device 23 provided with an ozonizer 21 and a deodorizing circulation fan 22 in a deodorizing path 20 that circulates in the storage case 19 is provided above the storage case 19, and also above the storage case 19 is a storage room 19. An ozone decomposing device 27 including an ozone decomposing catalyst 25 and a decomposing / circulating fan 26 is provided in an ozone decomposing path 24 circulating inside. The door 17 is locked to the storage device 19 by a locking device 28 provided at the top of the storage case 19. A position sensor 29 that detects the position of the container 18 provided on the rear wall surface is interlocked with the locking device 28. Further, behind the upper part of the storage case 19 is an ozone sensor 30 composed of an oxide semiconductor sensor, which is linked to the ozonizer 21 and the ozone decomposing device 27.

In the above construction, the garbage 13 is used as a drainer.
Then, the water contained in the food waste flows out through the hole 14 on the side surface of the draining cylinder, and is drained through the drainage port 10 and the bowl trap 12. That is, the water and solids in the food waste are separated as in the conventional food waste treatment device. further,
When the drive unit 15 is driven and the partition valve 11 is opened after the garbage is put in, the garbage falls from the garbage dropping port 9 due to gravity, enters the bag 16, and is stored in the container 18 in the storage case 19. If the sluice valve 11 is closed after the garbage has fallen, the draining cylinder 11 becomes a mere drainage passage, and the water is drained through the drainage port 1.
0, it is led to the sewage through the trap 12.

On the other hand, when raw garbage falls into the container 18 in the storage 19, the ozone generator 21 of the deodorizing device 23 releases a predetermined amount of ozone air directly to the raw garbage through the deodorizing route 20 to deodorize the internal atmosphere. Refining to the deodorizing device 23 again while purifying and suppressing the decay of the garbage itself,
The circulation in the storage 19 is repeated. At this time, the ozone concentration in the storage 19 is measured by the ozone sensor 30.
It is fed back to 1 and controlled to be constant.
However, during this time, when the sluice valve 11 is opened, the ozonizer 21 is immediately stopped to prevent external leakage of ozone.

On the other hand, a container 18 is provided for collecting garbage on the collection day.
To pull out, pull out button (not shown)
By pressing, the ozonizer 21 is stopped, and at the same time, the ozone decomposing device 27 is operated.
The residual ozone in 9 is rapidly decomposed. After that, when the ozone sensor 30 detects that the residual ozone is almost completely decomposed, the ozone decomposing device 27 is stopped, and at the same time, the locking device 28 of the door 17 is released, and the container 18 is pulled out as shown in FIG. It will be possible. Further, when the door 18 is squeezed and the container 18 is stored in the storage case 19, the position sensor 2
9 senses that container 18 is in place.
At this time, if it is detected by the signal from the ozone sensor 30 that there is no ozone in the storage case 19, the locking device 28 does not operate, and only when ozone is present, the locking device 28 operates to lock the door 17. . Therefore, when opening the door 17 again immediately after opening and closing the door 17, the door 17 can be opened without waiting. In this way, when the door 17 is opened, the residual ozone is always completely decomposed, and the safety for the user can be secured. In addition, the food waste temporarily stored in the storage 19 until the collection date is deodorized and at the same time putrefaction is suppressed, and as a result, no discomfort is given even on the collection day.

[0012]

According to the food waste processing apparatus of the present invention, the effects listed below can be obtained. (1) Since the locking device locks the door until the residual ozone in the storage is completely decomposed, the user does not accidentally suck the ozone. (2) The ozone sensor can maintain a constant ozone concentration in the storage, so that accurate deodorization and spoilage can be prevented. (3) Since the ozone sensor and the locking device are interlocked, the door can be opened and closed without waiting when there is no ozone in the storage.
