Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is to discharge raw garbage that has been discharged into a kitchen sink and has flowed into a dehydration basket by centrifugally dehydrating by starting a motor, and then opening the bottom of the dehydration basket to form a discharge pipe for the garbage. The present invention relates to an automatic dewatering and enclosing device for raw garbage that is vertically connected and is dropped and enclosed in a garbage bag attached below it.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a dewatering basket with a handle is placed in a drainage pipe attached to a drainage port of a sink to receive raw garbage that has flowed in along with drainage, and leave it to drain naturally, and then appropriately drain it. I manually moved it to the trash.

[0003]

In the conventional garbage treatment, when the garbage left in the dehydration basket is left for a long time and drained sufficiently, a bad odor is emitted to the surroundings. It had a drawback that it drooped and polluted the surrounding area, and also gave off a bad odor from the trash can.

According to the present invention, raw garbage received in a dehydration basket is immediately subjected to forced centrifugal dehydration by activating a motor, and is automatically enclosed in a garbage bag without being touched by human eyes. It aims to achieve labor saving in waste disposal.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, in the automatic dewatering / sealing apparatus for garbage according to the present invention, a dewatering basket which rotates in conjunction with a motor is provided in a cylindrical body attached to a sink drain. A perforated cylindrical body is inserted, and this bottom part can be detachably opened and closed as a turntable that rotates in conjunction with the same cylindrical body, and a slide shutter that prevents drainage from leaking from the dust discharge pipe provided under the watch is installed. It was attached, and the turntable was linked to open and close. Here, the shutter that doubles as the rotation function of the dehydration basket and the attachment and detachment of the bottom of the basket,
A series of sliding drive mechanisms were collectively assembled on a base body that can be attached to and detached from the main body.

[0006] Since the rotating disk is slid-pressed to the lower part of a cylindrical body having a large number of dehydration holes, and a pair of both forms a dehydration basket, it is necessary to apply centrifugal force to the garbage by concentric rotation. For this purpose, a spring that bears the weight of the accumulated garbage was attached under the turntable, and it was pressed to rotate integrally with the cylinder, but the turntable and the cylinder were connected by concavo-convex fitting. It can also work together to improve tracking.

By the way, the shutter is screwed to a horizontal transfer screw, and this screw is connected to a series of transmission mechanisms from a motor via an electromagnetic clutch on the way, and is properly adjusted in accordance with the completion of dehydration of raw garbage. Reverse rotation control is performed, and the thrust of this screw rotation is used to strongly transfer and open and close.The discharge pipe, which is a conduit for discharging dehydrated debris outside the device, is installed so as to project higher than the drainage surface that flows through the water table. , Set at least so that the drainage does not flow into this pipe, and to make a cover that simply removes the drainage that flows down from above, leave a shutter tip so as to sandwich the pipe mouth and make a rib around it.

[0008] In this case, since leakage due to precipitation from above is prevented, packing is unnecessary, and there is an advantage that the operation load is extremely reduced because there is no crimping friction. Becomes higher.

However, in a case where the space under the ready-made sink is small and the space for installing the dust bag is small, a packing is attached to the upper edge of the discharge pipe for raw garbage so that the drainage does not leak even if the pipe mouth is flooded. There is also a method to prevent water leakage by crimping the shutter to.

Further, a dust bag is attached to the outside of the downward extension device of the discharge pipe, and after dehydration is completed, the shutter is opened so that the raw dust can be naturally dropped and enclosed. At this time, when the motor is instantaneously reversed in the reverse direction, vibration is applied to the dehydrated basket that has a cylindrical shape with the bottom open, and the sticky garbage is also smoothly removed, making the fall and sealing of the plastic bag more effective. ..

[0011]

[Function] When the apparatus for dehydrating and enclosing dehydrated garbage constructed as described above is attached to the sink and used, a dehydrated basket constituted by a cylindrical body having many porous porous materials and spring compression of a rotating disk as in the conventional case. Deposited inside.

At this time, when the motor is started, the dewatering basket rotates at high speed while the garbage is loaded, and the water attached to the garbage is separated by the centrifugal force, and a cylindrical shape is formed from the dewatering holes formed by the many small holes provided on the basket wall surface. Is discharged into the main body of the water, and this water passes through the water guide port by the cutout part provided in the base and the shutter,
It flows down to the water table below it, passes through the trap / drain pipe, and is drained to the sewer pipe.

Therefore, only the raw garbage from which water has been removed remains in the dehydration basket, but at this time, a series of electromagnetic clutches are connected via the motor / relay gear and a transmission mechanism such as a pinion / bevel gear, By rotating the horizontal transfer screw and moving the shutter that engages with it, the bottom of the dehydration basket is opened and the mouth of the discharge pipe is opened, and the garbage without support is naturally dropped into the garbage bag and discharged. Will be.

However, since the garbage contains substances that easily adhere to the substances and are hard to fall off, the inner wall of the dehydration basket is subjected to surface treatment with an incompatible substance such as ethylene tetrafluoride, or the starter motor is instantaneously removed. By giving vibration by reversing,
It is possible to promote the attachment / separation of raw garbage, and to promote the drop discharge more effectively.

On the other hand, the raw dust adhering to the surface of the turntable is spring-loaded when it is slid out of the dehydration basket.
It will be scraped off at the lower edge of the dehydration basket, forcibly dropped into the garbage bag through the edge of the shutter, and discharged and stored.
It is extremely hygienic as it can be filled and filled without leaving any residue.

Further, in order to prevent the contact and contamination of the inner wall of the conduit during the process of dropping the garbage, if the inner diameter of the discharge pipe is made larger than the inner diameter of the cylindrical body of the dehydration basket, a simple structure can be used.
In addition, if the inner wall of the discharge pipe is lined with the incompatible material described above,
The antifouling effect is further enhanced.

The prevention of water leakage of the discharge pipe by the shutter is
When the discharge pipe is installed protrudingly, the drainage flow rate can be adjusted by the size of the water guide port by the cutout part provided in the base body and the shutter, so even if you drain the water that fills the sink all at once, the maximum flow rate of the water table will be Since it is possible to set an appropriate amount that does not flood the discharge pipe, it suffices if it has a function of only covering precipitation and splash water from above, and there is no need to crimp it through a packing.

Alternatively, as described above, in the embodiment in which the drainage is submerged in the space due to the space for installing the dust bag, packing is applied to the edge of the discharge pipe, and the flat surface of the shutter is slid on the packing. Since it is designed to be sealed, it will not leak even if it is flooded.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings.
At the drain port B of the sink A, the tubular main body 2 is dropped through the packing 1, and the upper edge integrated flange portion 3
Tighten the nuts and the nut 4 to attach them.
A cylindrical body 6 having a large number of dehydration holes 5 is rotatably inserted and installed.

However, an integral flange 7 is provided on the upper end of the cylindrical body 6 and is supported by the stepped portion 8 of the main body 2 so as not to fall off, and a stop ring 9 for preventing the detachment during operation of the dehydration basket is screwed on the upper side. Although not shown, it can be easily removed by using an elastic hook, and is installed with a slight gap so as not to hinder the rotation.

A rotary drive mechanism is connected to the lower end of the cylindrical body 6, but it is constructed so that it can be appropriately attached and removed when the sink of the apparatus is attached or the convenience of cleaning is taken into consideration. One example is a cylindrical body as shown in FIG. A ring-shaped gear 10 is integrally formed on the lower outer periphery of 6, and a motor gear 12 fixed to the shaft of a motor 11 is meshed with the ring-shaped gear 10 so that the gear can be freely inserted and removed.

In the second example, as shown in FIG. 3 which is an exploded perspective view of a partial cross section, a single ring-shaped gear 10 'and a motor gear 12' are assembled in advance with a claw, and the ring-shaped gear 10 is assembled. A pair of suitable concavo-convex parts 13 and 14 to be fitted and detached on the lower part of the'and the cylindrical body 6'are formed and connected. The gears can be replaced by belts and pulleys, and any other type of transmission mechanism can be selected. ..

The dehydration drive mechanism is composed of a ring gear 10.
Guide groove 16 of shutter 15 sliding on the lower end of 10 '
And a transfer screw 17 traversing the shutter 15, an electromagnetic clutch 18 for intermittently rotating the screw 17, and its associated gears 19, 20, 21, and 22, and a base body 23.
It is assembled to.

Subsequently, a stepped bearing 25 provided with a groove 24 through which the transfer screw 17 can be inserted is integrated with the central recess of the shutter 15, and a spring 26 is provided at this stage so as not to interfere with the transfer screw 17. Then, a rotary disk 27, which is driven by pressure contact rotation, is placed on the edge of the ring-shaped gears 10 and 10 'below the cylindrical body 6 and 6'.

However, it goes without saying that when the mounting position of the transfer screw 17 is set at a position where the center of the rotary disk 27 is removed so as not to interfere with the spring 26, it is not necessary to add the groove 24 or the step to the bearing 25.

In this case, the rotary disc 27 is provided with the shutter 1
Since it traverses along with 5, it is attached to and detached from the lower part of the cylindrical body 6 · 6 ′ to form a centrifugal dehydration basket whose bottom is opened and closed. Turntable 2
7 is closely interlocked with the ring gears 10 and 10 'by the spring 26, but as shown in FIG.
A protrusion 28 that can be transversely attached / detached against the pressure of the spring 26, a hemisphere is provided in the illustrated example, and projections and depressions 29 are joined to this, and a protrusion 29 is provided in the ring gear 10 ', and slipping is caused by this contact joining. Without interlocking.

Immediately below the concentric cylinders 6 and 6 ', a water table 3 is provided.
A discharge tube 31 for raw garbage that penetrates through 0 and is fixed to the outside of the device.
A bottom cover provided with a pipe 33 connected to a sewer groove via a trap 32 for extension of the pedestal 30 is detachably attached to a joint portion 34 so as not to leak water. The main body 2 is an O-ring 3
5, water is not leaked here either, and an elastic hook 36 integrated with the main body 2 in FIG. 1 and a screw 37 in FIG.

A female screw is formed at one end of the shutter 15, a guide groove 16 and a long screw 17 installed in parallel are screwed into the female screw, and the electromagnetic clutch 18 is rotated left and right without being attached or detached. It is opened and closed by 19-22.

The shutter 15 has an important function of preventing leakage of water from the dust discharge pipe 31 as well as opening and closing the bottom of the dehydration basket.

However, one of the causes of water leakage is flooding at the mouth of the discharge pipe 31. As a first method for preventing this, the discharge pipe 3
The projecting position in the water table 30 is made higher in the mouth part of 1, and further,
The area of the water conduit formed by the notch 38 provided at the joint between the main body 2 and the base body 23, and the notch 39 of the shutter 15 which is connected and coincident therewith is set to an appropriate size so that a large amount of water does not flow at a time. In this way, running water D was adjusted so as not to flood the mouth to prevent water leakage.

The second method is effective when the space under the sink is extremely small and there is a problem in placing the garbage bag. As shown in FIG. 4, the inclination of the water table 30 is made small and the discharge pipe 31 'is used.
Since the total height of the device is reduced by suppressing the protruding height of
The mouth of 1 ′ was covered with drainage, and the packing 40 was attached to the mouth of the discharge pipe 31 ′, and the shutter 15 was pressure-bonded to open and close the upper surface thereof to prevent water leakage.

Further, the causes of water leakage include precipitation from above, splashing water, whirling water traveling through the body, etc. In order to block these, the shutter 15 is surrounded so as to surround the mouths of the discharge pipes 31, 31 '. Ribs 41 are provided on the back surface.

Reference numeral 42 is a ring for inserting and turning around the mouth of the plastic bag C for enclosing raw garbage, and in that state, a ring is press-fitted and attached to the lower portion of the discharge pipe 31, 31 ', and 43 is a radial cut made of rubber. It is a sink drain cap.

[0034]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following effects.

Since the lower part of the main body can be cut off from the base body, it can be molded into a size and shape compatible with conventional dehydration traps.
The sink can be replaced without any modification, and the cylindrical body can be detached and attached, so the compatibility with the transparency inside the main body cylinder is even easier.

Since the cylindrical body can be easily removed by removing the stop ring after the installation of the sink by simply inserting / removing the gear or connecting the concave and convex portions, it can be used hygienically at all times.

A rotary disk whose center is matched and driven is installed in the lower part of the cylindrical body in conjunction with the shutter to form a centrifugal dehydration basket or open the bottom to serve as a dumper for discharging garbage.
Since it has two functions, the structure and control device are extremely simple, compact, and inexpensive.

Although the rotating disk can be opened and closed by rotating with a hinge, it does not take up space due to the sliding action, and the connection between the discharge pipe and the lower part of the cylindrical body for discharging the dust out of the apparatus is close, so that the garbage can be dropped. It works efficiently without leaving the route.

Since the discharge pipe is appropriately projected to the water table and the drainage is not submerged in the mouth, the packing which is a source of wear and aging for preventing water leakage is not necessary, there is no maintenance, and the load of traverse action is small. It is one of the factors that make the motor cheaper as the motor becomes smaller and the mechanism is simplified.

When the shutter is closed, it comes into close contact with the mouth of the discharge pipe, and even if a bad odor is generated from the dust bag, it leaks out of the device.
No discomfort in the kitchen.

The garbage once discharged from the sink is automatically drained and sealed in a garbage bag without any human labor, which is extremely hygienic and labor-saving.

Furthermore, from the time when each house to the garbage collection site in the area began to be sorted and dumped by the air transportation system, a container instead of a garbage bag was attached, and this feeding port was opened for control according to the transportation set date. It has a function as a terminal that can be automatically transported to a place.
