2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 4, a conventional food waste disposal device has a drainage basket 2 provided below a sink 1 of a sink, and a drainage basket 3 made of a porous material such as a punching plate or a wire mesh. There was a garbage 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 apparatus, the garbage basket 3 is left as it is until the garbage is collected, and then it is transferred to a polyethylene bag or the like, and although not shown in the figure, it is stored in the trash box for storage until the garbage collection day. In addition, the water flowed from the tap water 5 or the like to the sink 1 flows on the surface of the garbage, flows out from the holes of the drainage basket 3 and is discharged 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. In addition, during this work, there is a case where the food waste is directly touched with hands, and harmful summer bacteria of the rotten food waste adhere to the hands in the summer when the temperature is high, which may 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, raising the BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) that is a measure of dirt in the wastewater and polluting the river. There is a problem that it may cause the load on the sewage treatment plant to increase. Furthermore, when the food waste is temporarily stored in the trash from the drainer basket 3, the odor is filled with odor due to putrefaction, and the odor leaks out of the bin, and a large amount of odor is annoying when taking out on the day of collection. It has always been.

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 an opening / closing detector for the partition valve is installed in the drive unit, directly above the food waste drop port inside the drain. A draining cylinder with a plurality of holes on the side surface is provided, and a storage container that includes a garbage container with an open top is provided directly below the garbage drop port, and an odor sensor, an ozone discharge port, and a first storage container are provided inside the storage container. An ozonizer that has a suction port and communicates with the discharge port, a deodorizing device that communicates with the first ozone decomposer that communicates with the first suction port, and a container attachment / detachment detection device are provided outside the storage In addition, the suction fan is installed in the second suction port provided at the top of the storage. A second ozone decomposer coupled to provided certain detachment detection device and the opening and closing detecting device as configured in which includes the ozonizer and the second ozone decomposer.

[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 a while,
The odor sensor senses the presence of food waste, and the deodorizing device operates, so the amount of ozone air determined by the strength of the odor is released directly from the ozonizer to the food waste.
While deodorizing the internal atmosphere, while suppressing the decay of the food waste itself, it is sucked into the ozone decomposer and returned to the ozonizer. However, during this time, when the opening / closing detection device provided in the drive unit of the sluice valve detects that the sluice valve is opened, the ozonizer is immediately stopped to prevent external leakage of ozone. Similarly, when the container is taken out such as collection date, the container attachment / detachment detection device detects the stop of the ozonizer, and the second ozone decomposing device operates to prevent ozone leakage to the outside of the container.

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

In FIGS. 1 to 2 and 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a sink, and a drain pipe 6 having an open upper end is provided at the bottom of the sink. A raw garbage dropping port 7 and a drain port 8 are provided at the bottom of the drainage pipe 6, a partition valve 9 is provided below the raw garbage dropping port 7, and a bowl trap 10 is provided below the drain port 8. Further, inside the drainage tube 6, there is provided a water draining tube 11 which is inserted from the food waste drop opening 7 at the upper end and is placed on the food waste drop opening 7. This cylinder has no bottom surface, and the side surface has a plurality of holes 12 formed therein. Further, the sluice valve 9 is moved left and right in FIG. Further, a storage box 16 including a container 15 in which a bag 14 is mounted is provided immediately below the food waste drop opening 7. On the other hand, the drive unit 13 is provided with an opening / closing detection device 17 that detects that the sluice valve 9 is opened. further,
An odor sensor 18 is provided on the upper part of the storage 16, and the discharge port 20 from the ozonizer 19 and the first ozone decomposer 2 are provided.
The first suction port 22 from 1 is open. Further, the ozonizer 19 and the Othon decomposer 21 are in communication with each other, and form a deodorizing device 23 by both of them. On the other hand, storage 1
The joint between 6 and the container 15 is filled with a packing around the entire circumference to be shielded from the outside air. A second suction port 24 is provided in the vicinity of the joint with the container 15 on the upper part of the storage 16, and a second ozone decomposing unit 26 having a suction fan 25 connected to the tip immediately above it.

Further, there is a container attachment / detachment detection device 27 at the rear of the storage case 16, and the detection end thereof is in contact with the rear of the container 15. The open / close detection device 17 and the attachment / detachment detection device 27 are the ozonizer 19 and the second ozone decomposing device 26.
It is linked with.

In the above structure, the garbage drainer 11 is used.
Water contained in the garbage flows out through the holes 12 on the side surface of the draining cylinder, and the drainage port 8 and the trap 1
It is drained through 0. 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 sluice valve 9 as shown in FIG. 2, the garbage falls from the garbage dropping port 7 due to gravity and enters the bag 14 and is stored in the storage case 15.
After the garbage has fallen, close the sluice valve 9 and the
Returning to the above state, the draining tube 11 becomes a mere drainage passage, and the water discharged from the callan 5 is drainage port 8 and bowl trap 10.
Is led to the sewage via.

On the other hand, when food waste falls into the container 15 in the storage 16, the presence of the odor sensor 18 senses the presence of the odor sensor 18 and the amount of ozone air determined by the intensity of the odor is directly supplied from the ozonizer 19 through the discharge port 20. The ozone decomposing unit 21 is discharged through the first suction port 22 while being discharged into raw garbage to deodorize and purify the internal atmosphere and suppress the decay of the raw garbage itself.
It is sucked in and is returned to the ozonizer 19 again, and the circulation is repeated. However, during this time, when the opening / closing detection device 17 provided in the drive unit 13 of the sluice valve 9 detects that the sluice valve 9 is opened, the ozonizer 19 is immediately stopped and external leakage of ozone can be prevented.

According to the configuration of this embodiment, the bag 14 is simply put into the draining cylinder 6 and the opening and closing of the sluice valve 9 is performed.
Since it is packed into the bag 14, it is not necessary to transfer the garbage to the bag 14, and the processing operation of the garbage is reduced. Also, the food waste is only touched at the time of input, and even if the food waste is touched, the food waste is a part of fresh food at this time and it is not spoiled, so it is hygienic. It is safe because it will not stain your hands with bacteria. Further, since the garbage can be packed in the bag 14 by a simple operation of opening and closing the partition valve 9 immediately after putting it into the draining cylinder 6, the time for contacting the water flowing from the sink 1 is short, and the organic matter which is the main component of the garbage is short. The amount of water dissolved in wastewater is small, and BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) does not increase. Therefore, it does not pollute the river or increase the load on the sewage treatment plant. Also,
The food waste temporarily stored in the storage 15 until the collection day is deodorized according to the intensity of the odor, that is, the amount of food waste, etc., and at the same time, it is suppressed from being decomposed, and as a result, it gives an unpleasant feeling even on the day of collection. Never. Further, when the container 15 is pulled out from the storage 16 for removal on the same day as the collection, the attachment / detachment detection device 27 detects it, and at the same time the ozonizer 19 is stopped, the suction fan 25 operates and the second ozone decomposer 26
Ozone is decomposed and discharged. Therefore, leakage of ozone to the outside of the container 15 can be prevented.
