Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for crushing and processing raw garbage produced in a kitchen, and more particularly to a device having means for preventing crushed raw garbage from being accumulated in a trap portion.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art
There is known a crushing device for trash that is attached to a lower part of a drain of a kitchen sink and crushes the thrown-in garbage and discharges it. FIG. 2 shows a state in which the crushing device is attached. When the crushing device 200 is attached to the lower part of the sink 202, specifically, the lower part of the drain port of the sink 202,
By simply discharging the garbage generated in the kitchen together with the drainage of the sink from the drain of the sink 202, the garbage can be treated as it is, which is extremely convenient.

On the other hand, however, such a crushing device 2
When the garbage is treated using 00, the following problems also occur. That is, the raw garbage also includes egg shells, shells, fish bones, etc., which have a relatively large specific gravity, so that the crushed product 204 is a trap provided on the downstream side of the crushing device 200. There is a risk of depositing and accumulating inside the portion 206. When the egg shells, shells, etc. are thus accumulated inside the trap portion 206, they may rot and give off a strange odor, or the trap portion 206 may be clogged again. To be done.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, 10 is a sink which is installed in contact with the wall surface 12. The sink 10 is provided with a sink 14, and a sink faucet 16 is attached to the upper surface.

At the lower part of the sink 14, a crushing device 18 for garbage is installed directly below the sink drain and in communication with the sink drain. A water supply pipe 20 is connected to the crushing device 18, and the water supply pipe (water supply passage) 2
Through 0, water for pulverization processing is supplied into the tank 22 inside the pulverization device 18. That is, this crushing device 18 crushes raw garbage under the supply of water to the tank 22, and discharges the crushed material together with water from the discharge part.

A drainage pipe 24 extends from the crushing device 18, and a drainage trap portion 26 is provided in the middle thereof. The trap portion 26 holds the sealed water inside and prevents the backflow of the odor from the downstream portion of the pipe. still,
An electric cord 28 extends from the crushing device 18,
The insertion plug of the tip portion is inserted and connected to the outlet 30.

The trap section 26 includes the trap section 26.
A cleaning water ejection hole 32 for cleaning the inside is provided, and a supply pipe (supply passage) 34 for supplying the cleaning water is connected to the ejection hole 32. The supply pipe 34 branches from the water supply pipe 20 and extends, and an electromagnetic switching valve 36 is provided at the branch portion. This electromagnetic switching valve 36 connects the water passage to the crusher 18
Side or the trap part 26 side.

An operating portion 38 is provided on the wall surface 12 above the sink 10, and the operating portion 38, the crushing device 18, and the electromagnetic switching valve 36 are electrically connected by a lead wire 40. The crushing device 18 is operated or the electromagnetic switching valve 36 is switched based on the operation of the operation unit 38.

In the apparatus for crushing raw garbage in this embodiment, the raw trash is crushed by activating the crushing device 18 while feeding the raw garbage into the crushing device 18 and supplying water from the water supply pipe 20. The substance is discharged to the outside through the trap portion 26 together with water.

At this time, since some of the pulverized products from the discharge part have relatively large specific gravity such as egg shells and shells, they may be deposited and accumulated at the bottom of the trap part 26. However, in the case of the garbage disposal of this example, the contents of the trap portion 26 can be blown toward the downstream side of the pipe by vigorously ejecting the cleaning water from the ejection holes 32.

The apparatus according to the present embodiment carries out the crushing process of the garbage by the following procedure, for example. First, the garbage is put into the tank 22 of the crusher 18 through the drain of the sink 14 of the sink 10, and then the drain cover (not shown) of the sink 14 is set, and then the operation switch of the operation unit 38 is turned on. West,
Start the grinding process.

At this time, the electromagnetic switching valve 36 first switches the water passage to the crusher 18 side, and the crusher 1
Water for grinding treatment is supplied into the tank 22 of No. 8. Along with this, the motor of the crushing device 18 starts rotating to start crushing, and at the same time, the crushed material is continuously discharged.

The crushed material is discharged to the outside via the trap section 26. At this time, some of the crushed substances, such as egg shells, shells, and fish bones, have a relatively large specific gravity, and these may be deposited and accumulated at the bottom of the trap portion 26.

Therefore, in this example, when the crushing of all the garbage is completed, the electromagnetic switching valve 36 causes the water passage to be crushed by the crushing device 1.
8 side to the trap section 26 side, where the cleaning water is supplied to the supply pipe 34 and the trap section 2
6, and the cleaning water is vigorously ejected from the ejection holes 32 into the trap portion 26. As a result, the contents of the trap portion 26 are discharged from the trap portion 26, and the inside of the trap portion 26 is cleanly cleaned.

When the cleaning water is supplied to the trap section 26 for a predetermined time, and the trap section 26 becomes clean,
Next, the supply of water is switched to the crusher 18 side again by the electromagnetic switching valve 36, and here the tank 2 of the crusher 18 is changed.
Water is introduced into the tank 2 to clean the inside of the tank 22.

Thereafter, the motor of the crushing device 18 is stopped,
Subsequently, the water supply to the crushing device 18 is stopped. Note that the above-mentioned pulverization processing procedure is just one example, and it is also possible to perform it by various other procedures.

As described above, the apparatus of this embodiment is provided with the trap section 2
6 is provided with a jetting hole 32, from which washing water is jetted to spout the contents of the trap portion 26. According to the present example, an egg shell, a shell or the like is provided in the trap portion 26. It is possible to surely prevent the accumulated crushed material from being accumulated and giving off an offensive odor, and at the same time, to prevent the inside of the trap portion 26 from being blocked. It is possible to solve the problems caused by the crushing process by.

Further, in the apparatus of this embodiment, the supply pipe 34 is branched from the water supply pipe 20 to the crushing device 18, and the electromagnetic switching valve 36 is provided at the branching portion, so that the water supply to the crushing device 18 and the trap portion are performed. It is possible to supply the washing water to 26 by only one switching action of the electromagnetic switching valve.
The cleaning of the tank 22 and the cleaning of the trap portion 26 can be performed by one operation of the switching valve, and the efficient use of water can be achieved. Further, since the switching valve is the electromagnetic switching valve 36, the electromagnetic switching valve can be activated by one switch operation.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, but this is merely an example. For example, the position of the ejection hole 32 in the trap portion 26 is not limited to the position shown in FIG. 1, and the position of the ejection hole 32 is appropriately selected so that the contents of the trap portion 26 are ejected most efficiently. be able to. Further, the supply pipe 34 can be attached in various forms other than the above example, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
