Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dust processing apparatus used in a home kitchen or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a rotary drum 31 is arranged in a casing 21 as shown in FIGS.
It is known that raw dust 3 is put into a rotary drum 31 containing wood fragments to which microorganisms are attached, and while the rotary drum 31 is rotated, the microorganisms decompose the raw dust 3.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the above case, raw dust 3
It was necessary to open the lid 4 of the casing 21 and then open the lid 5 provided on the body portion of the rotary drum 1 in order to put in.

For this reason, it is necessary to open the lid 4.5 twice with the unsanitary raw dust 3 in hand. Further, the lid 5 of the rotary drum 1 for locking the key 16 is unsanitary to be opened directly by hand so as not to open it easily.

The present invention is intended to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and to provide a dust-disposal device in which the introduction of dust can be carried out easily and sanitarily.

[0006]

In the dust collecting apparatus of the present invention, a charging port 8 is provided in the peripheral drum portion of the rotating drum 1, and a lid 9 supporting the end portion in the direction of rotation thereof is disposed in the charging port 8. A casing 2 having an inner peripheral surface having a substantially circular cross section that encloses the peripheral drum portion of the rotary drum 1 and having an opening 12 larger than the charging port 8 while urging the lid 9 toward the open side by a spring 11. When the rotary drum 1 is pivotally supported in the casing 2 and the lid 9 is not located in the charging opening 8, the inner peripheral surface of the rotating drum 1 presses the lid 9 to close the charging opening 8. , The lid 9 is attached to the spring 1 when it is located in the insertion opening 8.
1 is pushed open. as a result,
The rotary drum 1 can be started and stopped by opening and closing the lid 9. Thus, it is not necessary to directly open and close the lid 9 by hand.

Here, the wheel 13 is arranged at the free end of the lid 9,
When the inner peripheral surface of the rotary drum 1 presses the lid 9 to close the insertion port 8 via the wheels 13, the friction force is reduced and the lid 9 is closed on the inner peripheral surface of the rotary drum 1. It is possible to smoothly rotate the rotary drum 1 while pressing it.

The side of the opening 12 into which the lid 9 enters is
If the guide surface 14 for introducing the wheel 13 is smoothly bent back outward, the lid 9 is smoothly introduced into the opening 12, and the lid 9 is securely closed.

In this case, if the power of the rotary drum 1 is the manual handle 7, it is easy to control the speed of rotation of the rotary drum 1, start and stop, and to make sure the function of the dust treatment device is exhibited. be able to.

[0010]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described.
A description will be given based on FIGS. 1 to 4.

The rotary drum 1 is horizontally supported by a pivot shaft 6, and a handle 7 is attached to the pivot shaft 6. By rotating the handle 7, the rotary drum 1 is rotated in the forward and reverse directions. Since the driving of the rotary drum 1 is manual, stop, start and control of the rotation speed are easy and reliable.

An input port 8 is provided in the peripheral drum portion of the rotary drum 1. A packing 10 is attached to the outer periphery of the charging port 8. A lid 9 is spring-supported at the insertion port 8.

The rotating drum 1 contains wood dust and microorganism dust 3 carrying microorganisms.

The input port 8 is rectangular, and two opposite sides are parallel to the pivot 6, and the base of the lid 9 is attached to this side. The base of the lid 9 is lifted and supported by a spring 11, and the insertion port 8 is closed and pressure-bonded to the packing 10 only when a force is applied from the outside.

Wheels 13 supported by springs 17 are provided on the outer surface of the free end of the lid 9. The casing 2 has an inner peripheral surface having a substantially circular cross section that encloses the peripheral drum portion of the rotary drum 1, and has an opening 12 on the upper surface. The opening 12 is slightly larger than the lid 9.

4A, the lid 9 is pushed up by the spring 11 to open the insertion opening 8 as shown in FIG. 4A. That is, when the handle 7 is rotated to bring the lid 9 out of the opening 12, the lid 9 automatically opens. In this state, the raw dust 3 can be charged into the rotary drum 1.

Then, as the handle 7 is rotated, the wheels 13 are pressed against the inner surface of the casing 2, and the lid 9 is pressed against the insertion port 8 to close it as shown in FIG. 4B. FIG.
As shown in (d), when the handle 7 is slightly rotated in the forward and reverse directions with the lid 9 closed, the rotary drum 1 swings to stir the raw dust 3 inside. Then, if held in this state, the raw dust 3 is decomposed.

On the side of the opening 12 into which the lid 9 is inserted, the side of the opening 12 into which the lid 9 is inserted is smoothly curved outward so that the wheel 13 is introduced. Has become the guide surface 14. The guide surface 14 also facilitates the movement of the wheel 13 out of the opening 12.

On the side opposite to the guide surface of the opening 12, a wheel stopper 15 is provided so as to prevent the rotary drum 1 from rotating too much. This is because, if the wheel 13 comes out of the opening 12 due to excessive rotation, the lid 9 pressed through the wheel 13 may not be closed sufficiently, and the raw dust 3 may leak into the casing 2.

[0020]

According to the dust collecting apparatus of the present invention, when the lid 9 is not located in the charging port 8, the inner peripheral surface of the rotary drum 1 presses the lid 9 to close the charging port 8, and the charging port 8 is closed. When located inside, the spring 9 pushes the lid 9 open, so that the opening 8 can be opened and closed simply by rotating the rotary drum 1, and it is not necessary to directly open and close the lid 9.

Here, the wheel 13 is arranged at the free end of the lid 9,
If the inner peripheral surface of the rotary drum 1 presses the lid 9 to close the inlet 8 via the wheels 13, the rotary drum 1 can be smoothly rotated.

The side of the opening 12 into which the lid 9 enters is
If the guide surface 14 for introducing the wheel 13 is smoothly bent outward, the lid 9 is smoothly introduced into the opening 12 and is surely closed.

In the above cases, when the power of the rotary drum 1 is the manual handle 7, it is easy to control the speed of rotating the rotary drum 1, start and stop, and reliably perform the function of the dust treatment apparatus. Can be made.
