Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention relates to a trash can equipped with an air cleaner.

〓Conventional technology〓 Conventionally used trash cans do not take into account the prevention of dust and other contaminants from dispersing outside the box, causing fine dust to scatter from the trash cans.
The room was contaminated. In particular, when there is airflow indoors due to air conditioning, etc., it is observed that fine dust from the trash can spreads, and this tendency occurs especially when disposing of contaminated wipers after cleaning in a clean room such as a so-called sterile room. There were very few cases where trash cans were used inside the room.

〓Problems to be solved by the invention〓 This invention was made for the purpose of obtaining a trash can that does not become a source of dust diffusion even when installed indoors, especially in a clean room.

〓Means for solving the problem〓 This idea is to install an air purifier with a filter connected to the dust storage box that houses the rack that supports the dust collection bag, and to remove the dust that has spread inside the dust storage box. The problem was solved by configuring the air purifier to suck it up with a fan and remove it with a filter.

〓Effect〓 According to this invention, the air purifier installed in contact with the dust container sucks the air inside the dust container, and the air passes from the waste input port of the dust container to the inside of the dust container and reaches the air purifier. , an air flow is formed to discharge the purified air through the filter, thereby reducing the pressure inside the box, thereby preventing the dust diffused inside the dust storage box from leaking outside. These dust particles are separated and removed by a filter installed in the air cleaner.

〓Example〓 An example of the trash can A of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a stand on which an air cleaner 2 is mounted and a dust storage box 3 is placed on top, and is movable by casters 4 at any time.

The air purifier 2 mounted on the pedestal 1 is composed of a sealed body 5, and has an air inlet 6 on the side where the dust storage box 3 is placed, and an air outlet 7 on the opposite side. A filter 8 is fitted, and the sealing body 5
Air is introduced from an inlet 6 by a fan 9 provided inside and is discharged through a filter 8 on an outlet 7 side.

The dust storage box 3 has an opening 10 in the center of the bottom with a size almost comparable to the air inlet 6 of the air cleaner 2, and when the dust storage box 3 is placed on the pedestal 1,
The air inside the dust storage box 3 is configured to be introduced into the air cleaner 2 through the opening 10 and the air inlet 6.

A rack 12 constructed by assembling pipes 11 is housed inside the dust storage box 3, an example of which is shown in FIG. is suspended and Rack 1
A receiving tray 14 for receiving the dust collection bag 13 is placed on the bottom of the container 2. 15 is the dust contained in the dust collection bag 13; 16 is the lid of the dust storage box 3; an inlet 17 for waste such as dust is formed in the center;
It can be opened and closed by a swinging lid 19 that swings around 8. 20 is a weight for keeping the swinging lid 19 in a horizontal state.

In the above description, the pedestal 1 is equipped with casters 4 and is movable, but it may be a stationary pedestal without casters.
The air purifier 2 also has a filter 8 at the air outlet 7.
Although it has been described as having a filter, a filter may be fitted to the air inlet 6 side or both the air inlet 6 side and the outlet 7 side, and a Hepa filter is the most suitable filter to be used. Depending on where the trash can is used, a filter other than the Hepa filter may be used. Also, when a filter is fitted to either the air inlet 6 side or the outlet 7 side of the air purifier 2, even if the other opening remains open or is covered with a fine wire mesh, etc. It doesn't matter if you wear it. Furthermore, the rack 12 is not limited to the shape illustrated in FIG. 2 as long as it has a form that allows a dust collection bag to be suspended therein, and the dust collection bag 13 suspended in the rack 12 may be made of paper, cloth, or plastic film. It may be made of any type of material, but it is preferable that the bag has a closure so that the dust collection bag can be easily fixed with the closure. And a dust collection bag 13 filled with dust etc.
When taking out the bag from the rack 12, the opening of the bag is closed within the rack 12 to prevent dust from scattering, and by tightening the bag and taking it out, dust can be prevented from scattering. It goes without saying that the filter is detachably fitted to the air cleaner 2 so that it can be replaced whenever the dust removal effect is lost.

Further, in the above description, the dust storage box 3 and the air cleaner 2 have been explained and illustrated as being located in a vertical relationship, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the air cleaner 2 sucks the air inside the dust storage box 3. However, as long as the filter is configured to separate and remove dust, it goes without saying that the filter may be placed in any relative position.

Since the dustbin with an air purifier of this invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the air inside the dust container 3 flows in through the waste input port 17 of the dust container 3 by the rotation of the fan 9 of the air cleaner 2. Then, the air is sucked into the air cleaner 2, and the dust in the air passes through a filter of the air cleaner, where it is removed and purified.

〓Effect of the invention〓 Since the trash can equipped with the air purifier of this invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the waste inside the dust storage box is removed by the suction force of the fan inside the dust storage box. An air flow is formed from the inlet to the air cleaner through the inside of the dust storage box, and as a result, the inside of the dust storage box is placed in a reduced pressure state, and the dust that has spread inside the dust storage box is released to the outside of the dust storage box. There will be no leakage, and since the air containing dust is separated and removed by the filter installed in the air purifier, this product cannot be used indoors where there is an air flow for air conditioning, or in a clean room such as a so-called sterile room. Even if a specially designed trash can is installed, the spread of dust is completely prevented, and when disposing of dust, the mouth of the dust collection bag can be tightly closed inside the dust storage box which is kept under reduced pressure. This prevents dust from spreading inside the room and keeps the room clean at all times.
