Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a garbage crusher, and more particularly to a technical means for suppressing a crushing noise during a crushing process from leaking from a garbage inlet into a kitchen room.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There has been known a garbage crushing apparatus in which an apparatus body having a crushing chamber therein is attached to a lower portion of a sink, and garbage introduced from an inlet is crushed under water supply and discharged.

[0005] FIG. 5 shows an example of such a case in a state of being attached to a sink. In the figure, a sink 200 has a sink 202 and a cabinet 204, and a sink faucet 206 is installed on the upper surface.

[0004] 208 is a garbage crusher,
Reference numeral 0 denotes the main body of the apparatus. A processing chamber for performing garbage crushing processing is formed inside the apparatus main body 210.
The apparatus main body 210 is connected to a drain port at the bottom of the sink 202 and is suspended by the sink 202. From the device main body 210, a discharge pipe 212 for discharging the crushed garbage together with water extends.

[0005] In this crushing device 208, while continuously supplying water to the device main body 210 by discharging water from a sink faucet 206, garbage is crushed inside the processing chamber.
The pulverized material is discharged to the outside through the discharge pipe 212 together with water.

[0006]

However, in the case of the crushing apparatus 208, there is a problem that a crushing sound generated when garbage is crushed in the crushing chamber leaks from the inlet into the kitchen room.
Therefore, a water supply pipe is connected to the apparatus main body 210 and the apparatus main body 21 is connected.
It is conceivable that water is directly supplied to the container 0 and a soundproof lid is attached to the input port during the garbage crushing process.

However, in this case, not only is the soundproof cover required as a separate component, but also it is necessary to attach and remove the soundproof cover to and from the inlet at the time of crushing garbage, which is troublesome. There is.

[0008]

The invention of the present application has been made to solve such a problem. According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pulverizing apparatus in which a main body having a pulverizing chamber therein is attached to a lower portion of a sink, and the garbage input from an input port is pulverized under water supply and discharged. In the crushing device, a water film is formed by connecting a water supply pipe to the device main body so that water is directly blown out from a jet port into the device main body, and the upper opening of the crushing chamber is blocked by the jetted water. Characterized in that a water film forming means for forming is provided.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the water film forming means includes a guide for ejecting and guiding water downward along the inner wall surface of the crushing chamber, and a guide provided on the inner wall surface and below the guide. And a substantially partially conical splash plate for dispersing downwardly gushing water by the guide radially in the lateral direction.

[0010]

As described above, in the pulverizing apparatus according to the first aspect, a water supply pipe is connected to the apparatus main body so that water can be directly blown out from the jet port into the apparatus main body. The spouting water forms a water film that blocks the upper opening of the pulverizing chamber. With this pulverizer, the pulverizing noise generated inside the pulverizing chamber is injected by the water film shielding effect. Leakage from the mouth into the kitchen room can be blocked, and crushing noise leaking into the kitchen room can be reduced.

Further, according to this crushing apparatus, since water spreads over the entire inner wall surface of the crushing chamber, it is possible to reduce the amount of garbage or the crushed material adhering to and remaining on the inner wall surface of the crushing chamber.

In the present invention, the water film forming means includes a guide for ejecting and guiding water downward along the wall surface of the crushing chamber;
A substantially partially conical water splash plate which is provided below the guide and scatters downward jet water radially in the lateral direction can be constituted (claim 2). In this case, the water film forming means can be formed with a simple configuration, and the water film can be formed well.

An operation lever 24 as a main operation part is provided on the upper part of the faucet body 18 of the sink faucet 16,
At the lower end, an operation handle 26 of a rotary operation type is provided as a sub-operation unit.

Reference numeral 28 denotes a supply pipe for supplying water and hot water to the faucet main body 18, the upper end of which is connected to the faucet main body 18, and the lower end of which is connected to a main pipe embedded in the wall. It is connected.

Reference numeral 30 denotes a garbage crusher, and 32 denotes a main body of the crusher. The apparatus main body 32 is attached to the sink bottom 14A, and is suspended by the sink bottom 14A. An electric cord 33 extends from the main body 32, and an insertion plug 34 at the end of the electric cord 33 is connected to a power outlet 3.
6 is connected.

As shown in FIG. 2, a turntable 38 and a drive motor 40 for rotating the turntable 38 are incorporated in the apparatus main body 32, and a pulverizing chamber 41 is formed above the turntable 38. Have been. Reference numeral 42 denotes a garbage input port.

A pair of hammers 44 for crushing garbage are rotatably provided on the upper surface of the turntable 38 at a position eccentric from the rotation axis. Further, on the outside of the turntable 38, a sliding contact plate 46 for crushing and rubbing garbage with a hammer 44 is arranged so as to surround the turntable 38.

The turntable 38 and the sliding contact plate 46 are provided with a large number of holes 48 and 50, respectively, for allowing water and garbage to pass through. The crushed water and garbage that have passed through the holes 48 and 50 are subsequently discharged to the outside through a discharge pipe 52 extending from the apparatus main body 32.

As shown in FIG. 3, the sink faucet 16
A main water passage 54 is provided inside the faucet main body 18 in FIG. The main water passage 54 is provided on the upstream side of the valve 56 and is provided with an inflow passage 54 for water and hot water communicating with the supply pipe 28.
A, an outlet passage 54B located downstream of the valve 56, for discharging water or hot water or a mixture thereof, and a water discharge passage 54C in the water discharge pipe 20 following the outlet passage 54B. Valve 5 provided on main water channel 54
The opening / closing operation or the opening degree of the operation lever 6 is controlled by turning the operation lever 24 as the main operation unit.

A sub water passage 58 branches off and extends from the inflow passage 54A of the main water passage 54, specifically, the inflow passage 54A on the water side. The sub water passage 58 is connected to a water supply pipe 60 (FIG. 1) outside the faucet main body 18. The water supply pipe 60 has a distal end connected to the apparatus main body 32 so that water is directly supplied to the apparatus main body 32 through the water supply pipe 60 (see FIG. 1).

In the faucet main body 18, the sub water passage 5
A valve 62 is provided on the top 8, and the valve 62 is opened and closed by the operation handle 26 as the sub-operation unit.

As shown in FIG. 4, a spout 64 for spouting water from the water supply pipe 60 is opened in the pulverizing chamber 41. A guide 66 for guiding the water downward, and a partial conical splash plate 68 provided below the guide 66. Then, by the action of the guide 66 and the splash plate 68, the jet water from the jet port 64 spreads radially in the horizontal direction, so that the water film 70 is formed so as to block the upper opening of the crushing chamber 41. Has become. That is, in this example, the guide 66 and the splash plate 68 constitute a water film forming means.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 72 denotes a safety basket attached to the input port 42. The safety basket 72 is for preventing a spoon or the like from falling into the crushing chamber 41.
