Reference numeral 11 denotes a disposer provided in the pulverizing chamber 4, and the disposer 11 has a bottomed cylindrical basket body 12 having a number of small drain holes.
A crushing blade 13 radially inwardly protruding from the inner peripheral surface of the basket body 12 and a rotating blade 14 rotatably disposed horizontally at the bottom of the basket body 12 via a motor 15 are provided. Have been.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a separation treatment water tank having a required height provided in the frame 1 corresponding to the above-mentioned pulverization treatment water tank 2, and 17 denotes a lower end of the pulverization chamber 4 for transferring the pulverized material B in a water flow. A transfer pipe connected to the lower end of the separation water tank 16 in a communicating manner from the lower portion, and a return pipe 18 connected to the charging chamber 3 from a middle position of the separation water tank 16 so as to return the separated and removed water to the charging chamber 3. , 19 are drain pipes for over blow water. Reference numeral 20 denotes a cylindrical separation cylinder having a small drain hole 21 densely formed on the outer peripheral wall of the separation treatment tank 16 which communicates with the outer peripheral wall. A screw member rotatably arranged, and
The member 22 is rotated by the activation of the motor 23 to generate an upward thrust. 24 is a separation cylinder 20
A sprinkling nozzle 25 attached to the upper part of the separation tank 16 to sprinkle water is formed at the upper end of the separation cylindrical body 20 through a plug 27 with a truncated conical handle 26 and a squeezed passage. Then, the screw member 2 is
The crushed material B is compressed by forcibly passing the crushed material B with the upward thrust of 2. Reference numeral 28 denotes a discharge shut connected to the pressing passage 25, and 29 denotes a dust container.

Next, the operation of the embodiment constructed as described above will be described. First, water is supplied into the crushing water tank 2 and the separation water tank 16 through the water supply pipe 6, and the water supply is stopped when the reflux from the separation water tank 16 into the charging chamber 3 starts through the reflux pipe 18. Thereafter, the rotating wings 14 are rotated in a predetermined direction via the motor 15 to generate a spiral water flow, and the required garbage A is charged into the charging chamber 3 via the charging guide plate 7. Then, the water is introduced into the basket body 12 by a water flow, and is crushed by the crushing blade 13 sequentially with stirring. At this time, the garbage A is pulverized in water, so that not only the attached matter can be washed away but also finely pulverized, and finally, it is extremely hygienic and greatly reduced in volume. The crushed material B is obtained. If the garbage A contains a metal piece C such as a spoon or a fork, the garbage A is settled in the box 8 by its own weight at the time of throwing in and is captured. The pulverized material B pulverized and generated by the pulverizing blade 13 passes through the basket body 12 and is transferred to the separation treatment tank 16 by the transfer pipe 17 by a water flow generated by the rotation of the rotary blade 14.

Next, the crushed material B transferred to the separation treatment tank 16 is sequentially transferred upward by the screw member 22 which is rotated by the activation of the motor 23, and the attached moisture is dropped by gravity to be separated. At the same time, water is sprayed onto the pulverized material B from the small holes 21 for drainage of the separation cylindrical body 20 through the watering nozzle 24, and is washed and deodorized. At this time, when the water in the separation treatment water tank 16 increases, the water is sequentially returned to the charging chamber 3 through the return pipe 18. Thereafter, the pulverized material B is forcibly passed through the pressing passage 25 by the thrust above the screw member 22 and compressed to reduce the volume, and then discharged to the dust container 29 via the discharging shoot 28. I do. At this time, the crushed material B which has been compressed and reduced in volume exhibits a semi-dried state and can be reduced in volume to about 1/6 compared to the initial garbage state.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the crushing water tank 2 is connected to a sink or the like constituting a kitchen facility so as to communicate with the sink and is put into the sink or the like. The garbage A may be configured to flow into the charging chamber 3. Further, the above embodiment can be applied to not only garbage A but also crushable waste materials such as used one-way containers and milk packs.

[0012]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained. First, since a disposer is installed in the crushing water tank, garbage is put into the disposer via the crushing water tank, and the garbage is crushed in water to remove attached substances by water washing. It can be finely pulverized while being crushed, and finally can always obtain a sanitary and greatly reduced volume of pulverized material.

Second, since the crushing water tank and the separation water tank are communicated with each other via a transfer pipe, it is possible to sequentially transfer the crushed materials generated by using the water flow generated by the operation of the disposer. It can be transferred very easily and smoothly without the need for a pumping means such as a pump.

Thirdly, a separation cylinder having a small hole for drainage is erected in the separation tank, and a screw member is rotatably provided in the separation cylinder, and an upper end of the separation cylinder is provided. Since the compressed passage is formed in the part, the pulverized material is lifted by the upward thrust generated by the rotation of the screw member, while the attached water is separated and removed by gravity, and the upward thrust of the screw member is used. With the simple operation of forcibly reducing the volume of the powder by forcibly passing it through the compression passage, the separation and removal of water adhering to the powder material and the reduction of the volume of the compressed material can be performed very easily and quickly and efficiently. Can be done.
