Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a raw garbage that is produced by discharging a large amount of water contained in the garbage into a garbage bag and discarding it when the garbage is disposed of in a garbage bag and disposed of. This relates to a reduced container such as garbage.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art So-called food waste, which is generated daily in the kitchen of each household, contains a large amount of water and is heavy and difficult to handle. Conventionally, the disposal of this kind of food waste leaves water in the water. Store the items in a garbage bag such as polyethylene and seal it.
This was temporarily stored in a plastic bucket with a lid and was collected by a garbage truck on a set date.

[0003]

The garbage thus treated has a large volume because it contains a large amount of water, and there is a problem that it is heavy and easily decomposes, does not get dirty, and produces a foul odor. The large amount of collected garbage is difficult to burn when incinerated and has many problems such as a large amount of fuel and time required for the treatment. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a food waste reduction container that is effective in solving such problems.

[0004]

A container for reducing the amount of food waste or the like according to the present invention has a water draining port formed on a horizontally installed substrate and a mesh plate having a plurality of protrusions on the upper surface of the water draining port is detachable. The upper part of the body part, which has a cylindrical shape and a bellows shape with upper and lower ends opened, is always urged upward by means such as a spring. A lid body is attached to the opening so that the lid plate can be freely opened and closed to form a container body, and the container body is erected vertically on the base plate so that the lower end opening blocks the water drainage port. By pushing the garbage bag containing the garbage dropped on the mesh plate downward with the lid, the garbage bag is pressed against the mesh plate, and the moisture in the garbage is pushed out from the cuts made by the multiple protrusions. , The water is discharged to the lower water tray through the mesh plate. It is.

[0005]

[Function] When a lid bag of the lid body is opened by throwing a garbage bag, such as polyethylene, containing and storing raw garbage into the mesh plate in the container body, the lid plate is closed and the lid body is pressed downward, The bellows-shaped body of the container body is compressed by the load and presses the dust bag from above, and the bottom surface thereof is pressed against the mesh plate. Then, a plurality of projections arranged on the mesh plate pierce the bottom surface of the garbage bag to open cuts, and the water contained in the garbage is discharged to the outside through these cuts. The discharged water passes through the mesh plate and is collected in the water tray provided under the mesh plate.

Reference numeral 43 is a mounting piece provided on the outer surface of the column 4 for mounting the rear shaft 29a removed from the lever 29.

The use of the thus constructed container for reducing garbage such as food waste of the present invention will be described. A movable member 21 previously attached to the upper end of the rack gear 19 so as to be vertically slidable.
Is set at a position where the abutment piece 36a at the lower end of the pressing member 36 of the lever 29 contacts the upper surface of the lid 13 of the container body 1.
Further, the front shaft 29b of the lever 29 has an engaging portion 30 at the tip thereof.
The four protrusions 34, 34 provided on the inner circumference of the ring 31
34, 34 are fitted and engaged in a cross-shaped locking portion 26 formed at one end of the pivot 23 of the gear 24.

Then, the lid plate 15 of the lid body 13 is opened and the opening 1 is formed.
Garbage bag B containing raw garbage from 3a and hermetically sealed in container body 1
It is thrown onto the mesh plate 40 inside and the lid plate 15 is closed, and the screw shaft 38 at the tip of the rear shaft 29a of the rear lever 29 is screwed into the screw hole 37 at the rear end of the front shaft 29b. At this time, the lever 29 is pushed up through the lid 13 biased upward by the compression springs 6, 6, 6, 6 in the columns 4, 4, 4, 4 but is pushed to a predetermined rotational position by the push plate 39. Have been restrained by. Further, the cover plate 15 is prevented from being unnecessarily opened by fastening the open / close screw 18 of the cover plate 15.

After that, when the lever 29 is first rotated upward, the ring 31 at the tip is rotated counterclockwise, and the concave portion 3
The protrusions 34, 34, 34, 34 embedded in the inside of the shafts 2, 32, 32, 32 so as to be retractable are escaped by the cross-shaped protrusions 35, 35, 35, 35 at one end of the pivot 23, and the lever 2
The rotation of 9 upward is smoothly performed. Then, when the lever 29 is rotated downward, each protrusion 34 contacts each protrusion 35, the ring 31 rotates clockwise, and at the same time, the pivot 23 rotates clockwise. This allows the Axis 2
Since the gear 24 fixed to 3 rotates integrally with the gear 24 in the clockwise direction, the movable member 21 moves downward along the sliding grooves 20, 20 sequentially. Further, each compression spring 6 tries to push up the movable member 21 via the lid 13, but since the ratchet 27 meshes with the gear 24, its movement is blocked.

Then, when the lever 29 is continuously rotated up and down, the pressing member 36 protruding from the lower surface of the lever 29 contacts the upper surface of the lid 13 and sequentially presses it downward, so that it is shown in FIG. Thus, the bellows-like portion 12 of the container body 1 is compressed, and the garbage bag B containing the food waste is pressed by the lower surface of the lid body 13. At this time, the lid 13 has the protrusions 17, 1 at the outer end thereof.
7,17,17 are lowered along the long grooves 5,5,5,5 while pressing against the bias of the compression springs 6,6,6,6 in the columns 4,4,4,4. .. At the same time when the dust bag B is pressed against the mesh plate 40, the protrusion 41 breaks the dust bag B to form a cut 44, and water leaks from the cut 44, passes through the mesh plate 40, and is trapped by the moisture tray 10 below. Gathered.

At this time, even if the lever 29 is left depressed, the ratchet 27 meshes with the tooth portion 24a of the gear 24 to prevent counterclockwise rotation.
1 does not stop at that position and move up and down, and the bellows-like portion 12 maintains a constant contracted state. Therefore, for example, by leaving it as it is overnight, the water contained in the food waste can be sufficiently drained to reduce the volume, and the effort to keep pressing is unnecessary, and the purpose can be achieved easily. Also,
The movable member 21 is moved upward to extend the bellows-like portion 12 and the lid 13
To return the position to that position, the meshing with the tooth portion 24a of the gear 24 of the ratchet 27 may be released, and the action of each compression spring 6 naturally returns.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the mesh plate 40 is turned upside down to eliminate the projections 41 on the upper surface, and a juice can or the like is placed on the upper surface, and the lid 13 is pushed down from above in the same procedure as described above. For example, the compression springs 6, 6, 6, 6 in the struts 4, 4, 4, 4 are compressed and the bellows-shaped portion 12 contracts, so that the can body can be easily crushed by the inner surface of the lid body 13 and recovered. Can be made easier. At this time, even if the crushed can body is deformed, it is prevented by the protective cover frame 42 attached to the inner periphery of the lower portion of the bellows-like portion 12 to prevent the bellows-like portion 12 from being broken by a part of the can body. It Of course, you can also crush other tin cans, aluminum cans, and other small empty containers at home.

As described above, in the waste container of the present invention, such as garbage, a garbage bag containing garbage is thrown onto the mesh plate in the container body, the lid is closed, and the lever is continuously connected. The lid is gradually pressed by the movable member that descends, and the bellows portion is contracted. Then, in the process of such contraction, cuts are provided at the bottom of the garbage bag with projections arranged on the mesh plate, and water contained in the garbage is drained from these cuts and collected in the water tray. Therefore,
It is possible to easily discharge the water contained in the garbage and reduce the volume of the garbage and the like, and it is possible to solve all the problems associated with the garbage disposal that have been present in the past.
