However, in the above-mentioned conventional device, there is a problem that the inner wall of the case accommodating the drainage basket is easily soiled. That is, although high-pressure water is spouted to rotate the drainage basket, only the efficiency of the jetted water with respect to the water wheel is taken into consideration, so that the inner wall of the storage case of the drainage basket is not substantially washed. However, it has a drawback that it is easily soiled. Further, in the conventional device, since the high-pressure water for rotating the drainage basket is directly supplied from the tap water, tap water is required for each dehydration operation, which has a drawback that the running cost is high. In addition, it is necessary to branch from the water supply and perform water supply piping. Further, in order to prevent invasion of various bacteria from the device side, there is a problem that a cistern or the like for cutting the edge of the waterway is required on the way.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks and to provide a garbage dewatering device capable of preventing the inner wall of a housing case or the like housing a draining basket from being soiled. Another object of the present invention is to provide a compact kitchen waste dewatering device that does not require a large amount of water as a drive source for rotating the drainage basket and can reliably prevent miscellaneous bacteria from entering the water supply.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the kitchen dewatering device of the present invention is arranged in a kitchen sink, and a draining basket is rotated by a high-pressure water flow from a horizontal direction to allow the inside of the draining basket to be rotated. In the kitchen dewatering device for dehydrating the kitchen waste stored in, the peripheral wall of at least a portion of the inner wall of the storage case for storing the drainage basket that receives the water flow from the horizontal direction is inclined in a direction to spread upward. Is the first feature. Further, the kitchen waste dewatering device of the present invention is a kitchen dewatering device, which is disposed in a sink of a kitchen, rotates a draining basket by a high-pressure water stream, and dehydrates the food waste contained in the draining basket. The second characteristic is that the water accumulated in the housing case for housing the car is recirculated by the pump and reused as the high-pressure water flow.

[0006]

According to the first feature of the present invention, the high-pressure water stream from the horizontal direction hits the member on the drainage basket side that receives the water, thereby rotating the drainage basket. On the other hand, part of the high-pressure water flow passes through without hitting the member that receives the water.
The passed water hits the inclined portion of the storage case, becomes an appropriate upward flow along the inclination and reaches the upper part of the inner wall of the storage case, and the dirt is washed away each time the device is used. As a result, dirt is prevented from adhering to the inner wall of the storage case that stores the drainage basket, and a clean state is always maintained. Further, according to the second feature of the present invention, the water accumulated in the housing case is recirculated by the pump and used again as a high-pressure water flow, so that waste of water such as tap water is eliminated. Of course, bacteria will not enter the water supply, and there will be no need for a cistern or the like to separate the water supply. Further, since the pump, circulation path and the like can be attached as a unit of the apparatus from the beginning as a unit, it is not necessary to construct a pipe for supplying water from the water supply to the garbage dehydrator.
