Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention mainly relates to a waste storage container such as a poly bucket for storing various kinds of dust and the like.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Generally, households use a plastic bucket (waste storage container) with a lid to temporarily store flammable waste including garbage.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the waste (particularly garbage) stored in the poly bucket and the like decays during the period until the next collection day (2 to 3 days), and a significant odor is generated when the lid of the poly bucket is opened. This malodor becomes remarkable especially in the warm summer season. As a countermeasure to avoid this, for example, there is a method of spraying a deodorant spray, etc. into a poly bucket, but the deodorant effect of this deodorant spray is temporary and not persistent, and it does not produce a bad odor. This is not enough to effectively deodorize, and there is a problem that the odor during the work of removing dust is difficult and the work of spraying the deodorant spray is troublesome.

Further, since air is trapped inside the poly bucket, the temperature becomes high, and the environment is such that bacteria can easily propagate. This was a sanitary problem.

In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a waste storage container capable of effectively preventing generation of a bad odor and improving hygiene.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, a waste storage container according to the present invention comprises a bottomed cylindrical storage container part and a lid for closing an opening of the storage container part. A deodorizing and sterilizing device is provided inside the lid for deodorizing and sterilizing the bad odor and bacteria generated from the waste stored in the storage container part.

[0007]

[Action]

 Therefore, by generating an ozone for a predetermined time by the deodorizing and sterilizing device provided inside the handle of the lid, it is possible to effectively remove the malodor and bacteria generated from the waste stored in the waste storage container. After that, ozone is decomposed through an ozone decomposition catalyst, and the odorless air and the rotten odor accumulated therein are exhausted and discharged to the outside of the container. By this exhaust, the bad odor is completely removed, and if this exhaust is continued for a long time, it is possible to lower the temperature inside the waste storage container, suppress the generation of bacteria, and remove the bad odor. Bacteria can be effectively sterilized.

【Example】

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

1 to 3, the waste storage container 1 is made of, for example, a poly bucket, and has a bottomed cylindrical storage container portion 2 and a lid 3 that closes the opening of the storage container portion 2. A deodorizing and sterilizing device 5 is arranged inside the handle 4 of the lid body 3.

The storage container unit 2 is, for example, a general plastic bucket container, and stores various kinds of dust (for example, combustible waste including raw dust) 10 via a plastic bag 7 or the like. It is like this.

The lid 3 is for closing the opening of the storage container part 2, and has a handle 4 at substantially the center thereof, and a deodorizing and sterilizing device 5 described below is disposed inside the handle 4. Further, as shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, air inlet / outlet holes 6 and 6 for efficiently performing intake / exhaust of the deodorizing and sterilizing apparatus 5 are provided at, for example, two positions on the periphery of the lid body 3, Intake / exhaust auxiliary members 9, 9 having vent holes 8a, 8b and capable of pulling up and down (pull push) are fitted in the air inflow / outflow holes 6, 6. The intake / exhaust assisting members 9 and 9 enable ventilation between the inside and outside of the storage container portion 2 through the ventilation holes 8a and 8b when pulled out upward (pull state) (see FIG. 5). The storage container 2 is sealed when it is pushed downward (pushed state) (see FIG. 6).

As shown in detail in FIGS. 2 and 3, the deodorization sterilization device 5 is driven by an ozone generating element 12, a honeycomb-shaped ozone decomposing catalyst 13, a fan motor 14, and the fan motor 14. Fan 15, a control circuit 16, a solar cell 17 as a driving power source of the control circuit 16, a battery 18 for storing energy of the solar cell 17, and a slit-shaped intake / exhaust for performing intake / exhaust. It is basically configured by a mouth 19 and a deodorizing sterilization switch 20 which gives a drive command to the deodorizing sterilization device 5.

The ozone generating element 12 is for generating ozone for deodorizing and sterilizing the bad odor and bacteria emitted from the dust 10 stored in the storage container part 2. For example, a ceramic plate type is used. , And negative and positive electrodes 21 and 22, and are fixed in the engagement groove 23 formed in the handle 4. When the ozone generating element 12 is turned on by the control circuit 16 described later, it discharges electricity via the electrodes 21 and 22 to generate ozone. The ozone concentration of ozone required for this deodorization sterilization is, for example, about 0.1 to 1000 ppm.

The ozone decomposing catalyst 13 is a well-known honeycomb catalyst that decomposes ozone generated by the ozone generating element 12, and is fixedly mounted on the locking projection 24 formed on the handle 4. ..

The fan 15 is an axial-flow fan that is driven by a fan motor 14 and is capable of forward and reverse rotations. In the intake mode, the fan 15 rotates in the forward direction to suck in air that generates ozone from an intake / exhaust port 19 to generate an ozone generating element. The ozone generated in 12 is blown to the inside of the storage container 2, and in the exhaust mode, it rotates in the reverse direction and passes through the ozone decomposing catalyst 13 from the intake / exhaust port 19 to decompress the ozone-decomposed air to the outside. To be discharged to. The fan motor 14 is fixedly mounted on a locking projection 26 formed on the handle 4 via a bracket 25.

The control circuit 16 receives the drive command of the deodorization sterilization switch 20 and controls the drive of the ozone generating element 12 and the fan motor 14. The control circuit 16 includes a plurality of electric elements and a CPU on the substrate 16a. Arranged to form an electronic circuit.

The solar cell 17 serves as a driving power source for the deodorizing and sterilizing apparatus 5, and is fixed in the opening groove portion 27 of the upper surface of the handle 4 with the light receiving surface as the upper surface. The current obtained by the solar cell 17 is directly supplied to the control circuit 16, but is stored in the battery 18 when the control circuit 16 is not driven and when a surplus current is generated.

Next, an operation example of the deodorizing and sterilizing apparatus 5 having the above configuration will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

To deodorize and sterilize the bad odors and bacteria generated in the waste container 1 that stores the dust 10, the deodorant sterilization switch 20 is turned on.

When the deodorization sterilization switch 20 is turned on, the control circuit 16 is started by receiving a current from the solar cell 17 (step 100), and the control circuit 16 gives a forward rotation command to the fan motor 14 to supply the fan 15 Is operated in the intake mode (step 110). In this intake mode, the air sucked from the outside through the intake / exhaust port 19 is blown into the waste container 1 through the ozone generating element 12.

After that, the control circuit 16 turns on the ozone generating element 12 to perform discharge (step 120), and ozone the air blown by this discharge. This zoned air is sent to the entire inside of the waste storage container 1 by the fan 15 and effectively deodorizes and sterilizes the bad odor and bacteria generated from the waste 10 stored inside. It is well known that the deodorizing bactericidal effect of this ozone is remarkable. This deodorizing and sterilizing operation may be performed for about 30 minutes (step 130). In order to effectively obtain the flow of ozone, the intake / exhaust auxiliary member 9 of the lid 3 is set in a pulling state to allow ventilation between the inside of the storage container 2 and the outside. In this state, the inflow and outflow of air is effectively performed, so that ozone is effectively circulated in the waste container 1 to flow. Since the amount of ozone generated at this time is very small, it does not have a harmful effect on the human body, but it is preferable to dispose the waste container 1 main body outside a highly air-permeable balcony or the like. It is desirable to keep it.

The end of the deodorizing sterilization work with ozone is performed by turning off the fan motor 14 (step 140) and turning off the ozone generating element 12 (step 150). At this time, if the deodorization sterilization is continued for about 1 hour by the remaining ozone (step 160), a more effective deodorization sterilization effect can be obtained.

When the deodorization sterilization by ozone is completed, the control circuit 16 gives a reverse rotation command to the fan motor 14 to operate the fan 15 in the exhaust mode (step 170). In this exhaust mode, the ozone remaining in the waste container 1 is decomposed by passing through the ozone decomposing catalyst 13, is discharged to the outside through the intake / exhaust port 19, and is also discharged together with the remaining rotten odor. Further, in this exhaust mode, continuous operation is performed day and night in order to lower the temperature inside the storage container portion 2 and suppress the generation of bacteria. As a result, the generation of bacteria is suppressed, and the inside of the storage container section 2 can be kept hygienic. In order to effectively perform the flow of the exhaust gas, the intake / exhaust auxiliary member 9 of the lid body 3 may be set to the pull state as in the intake mode.

However, since the waste container 1 is provided with the deodorizing and sterilizing device 5 using ozone on the lid 3 as described above, the odor and bacteria generated from the waste can be effectively treated from above. It can be deodorized and sterilized, and when the waste storage container 1 is opened, there is no putrid odor such as raw garbage, and it is hygienic and can remove discomfort during garbage collection. In addition, since the deodorizing and sterilizing device 5 is arranged on the lid 3, there is no concern that the deodorizing and sterilizing device 5 itself becomes dirty. The main body of the storage container part 2 can be washed with water and can be easily cleaned. In addition, since the deodorization sterilizer 5 is driven by a battery using the solar cell 17, the waste storage container 1 can be moved, and a battery 18 can be added to the waste storage container 1 for long-term use, and maintenance can be performed. Can be free.
