Is provided with a compression screw 41 in the center thereof and a dewatering net 42 surrounding the compression screw 41. The water is dehydrated here, and only the garbage is sent to the garbage storage chamber 50. It is collected in a garbage collection bag 51 provided in the garbage storage chamber 50.

However, the garbage stored in the garbage collecting bag 51 is decomposed with the passage of time, causing a bad smell. In particular, a bag 5 to dispose of garbage
When 1 is taken out from the garbage storage chamber 50, there is a drawback that the garbage and the outside air are inevitably brought into contact with each other, and the rotten odor diffuses.

[0005]

As means for avoiding the above-mentioned diffusion of bad odors, a method of using a deodorizer, a method of providing a shutter, a method of refrigerating / freezing, a method of drying, and further an automatic packing are used. Although various means such as a method for carrying out the method have been considered, none of them can completely deodorize, and on the other hand, the apparatus itself is complicated and large in size, and the cost becomes high, which is not practical. The food waste processing apparatus of the present invention provides a complete deodorizing method in an extremely simple manner.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The gist of the present invention is a garbage disposal device for draining adhering water from garbage and storing the drained garbage in a detachable container for storing garbage. There is provided a garbage disposal device characterized by injecting a foaming agent into the above-mentioned garbage storage container and injecting a foaming agent onto the garbage, and in general, garbage is It is preferably crushed, and it is preferable that the food waste container is a bag that can be discarded as it is.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION According to the present invention, when a container (bag) is removed in order to throw away the stored garbage, the foam is sprayed onto the garbage in the container, and the opening of the container is covered with the foam. It is intended to cut off the outside air from the outside. Therefore, the work of closing the mouth of the container (bag) is completed without the rotten odor emitted from raw garbage coming into contact with the outside air, and the favorable environment is maintained even during such work.
As the foam, a highly viscous liquid is foamed, and proteins, surfactants such as albumin, sodium stearate and the like are used. In addition, a mousse having a deodorizing property is preferable as the foaming agent, and as the deodorizing agent, a natural vegetable essential oil, green tea extract, a mixture of divalent iron ions and ascorbic acid, a betaine compound, activated clay or zinc oxide is used. Water-insoluble particles such as fine particles are preferable. Of course, it is desirable to use a foam retention agent, such as cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol. As the propellant, the one used in the aerosol can be used, and for example, LP can be used.
G gas, dimethyl ether, chlorofluorocarbon, etc. are used.

The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following examples. FIG. 1 is an overall view of a food waste processing device of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a sink and 2 is an outlet provided on the bottom surface thereof. In this example, a garbage crushing chamber 3 is provided below the outlet 2.
Is provided with a grinding stirring blade 4 and a motor 5 for rotating the stirring blade 4. Then, the raw garbage crushing chamber 3 is connected to the raw garbage separating chamber 6 by a pipe, and the raw garbage is sent to the bottom of the separating chamber 6 together with water. A compression screw 7 is provided at the center of the garbage separation chamber 6.
Is provided with a motor 8 for giving a rotational force. A dewatering net 9 is provided so as to surround the compression screw 7, and the water content is guided to the discharge pipe 10 through the dewatering net 9. In addition, 11 is a water level measuring electrode.

The raw garbage that has been dehydrated is gradually compressed by the compression screw 7, dropped from the uppermost portion of the screw 7 into the adjacent closed container 12, and the raw garbage storage container provided here, In the example, it will naturally fall into the storage bag 13. This storage bag 13 is wound around an annular ring 14 so that it can be attached and detached. When food waste accumulates in the bag 13, the annular ring 14 is removed and the mouth of the storage bag 13 is closed for disposal. Is. The annular ring 14 wraps the opening portion of the bag 13 in order to maintain the shape of the opening of the bag 13 and is placed on a stopper 15 formed in the closed container 12, for example. The closed container is not necessary in some cases, and only the garbage storage container (bag) to be disposed of may be set.

In the figure, reference numeral 16 is a foam injection cylinder provided so as to be connected to the closed container 12, and this injection cylinder 1
6, a pipe 17 is connected to a nozzle 18 provided in the closed container 12. And the garbage storage bag 13
