JPH10192727A - Crude refuse treating device using ultrasonic cutter - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To cut and pulverize crude refuse charged into a vessel by the pulverization with cutter blades fixed to the horn of an ultrasonic cutter and cutting by ultrasonic vibrations. SOLUTION: This device is constituted by mounting a motor 6 at the base of the vessel 5 and connecting an ultrasonic oscillator 9 via a slip ring 7 and a current collector 8 to the revolving shaft of this motor 6. A waterproof case 11 is fixed to the revolving shaft of the motor 6 and the cutter blades 13 are fixed to the ends of a horn 12 projected from this waterproof case 11. Further, a piezoelectric vibrator is fixed to the horn 12, by which the ultrasonic cutter 15 is constituted. The crude refuse is pulverized by the cutter blades and the cutter blades are ultrasonically vibrated by this piezoelectric vibrator. Since the crude refuse in contact with the cutter blades is cut by the ultrasonic vibrations of the cutter blades, the degradation in the cutting quality of the cutter blades is averted and the time for the crude refuse to be well pulverized is shortened. Emulsification and the sonochemical reaction are accelerated by the vibrations of the ultrasonic waves and, therefore, the crude refuse is liquefied in a short period of time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a garbage disposal apparatus using an ultrasonic cutter for crushing garbage such as fruit peels and vegetable waste with an ultrasonic cutter in a short time.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a disposer known as this type of garbage disposal apparatus includes a container 1 as shown in FIG.
A cutter blade 4 is fixed to a rotating member 3 fixed to a rotation shaft of a motor 2 mounted on the bottom of the container, and the cutter blade 4 is rotated at a high speed by the motor 2 to crush garbage put into the container 1. It is configured as follows.

[0003]

However, in such a disposer, since the cutter blade 4 is constantly operating in water, the cutter blade 4 immediately becomes dull and the cutter blade 4 rotates for a long time. However, there is a disadvantage that it takes time for the garbage to become liquid.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a container for putting in garbage and the like, a motor mounted on the bottom of the container, a waterproof case fixed to a rotating shaft of the motor, and a supporting case supported by the waterproof case. An ultrasonic cutter in which a cutter blade is fixed to the horn and a piezoelectric vibrator is fixed to the horn, and a piezoelectric member of the ultrasonic cutter through a slip ring and a current collector mounted on a rotating shaft of the motor. And an oscillator for applying high-frequency power to the vibrator.

[0005]

According to the present invention, garbage, such as fruit peel and vegetable waste, put into a container is crushed by a cutter blade which is rotated at a very high speed by a motor, and the cutter blade is piezo-electrically driven. The garbage in contact with the cutter blade is cut by the ultrasonic vibration of the cutter blade by ultrasonically vibrating by the vibrator, so that the cutting time of the cutter blade is reduced without reducing the sharpness of the cutter blade,
Furthermore, the emulsification and sonochemical reaction are promoted by the vibration of the ultrasonic waves, so that the garbage is liquefied in a short time.

1 is a sectional view of a garbage disposal apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of the ultrasonic cutter portion of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a plan view of the ultrasonic cutter portion. A motor 6 is mounted on the bottom of the motor 5, a slip ring 7 is mounted on a rotating shaft of the motor 6, a current collector 8 is brought into contact with the slip ring 7, and the current collector 8 is connected to an ultrasonic oscillator 9. .

A rotating shaft 6a of the motor 6 is formed in a hollow shape, is secretly supported by a bearing metal 10 mounted on the bottom of the container 5, protrudes into the container 5, and has a waterproof case 11 attached to an end of the rotating shaft 6a. Are fixed around the waterproof case 11, and two or four horn 12 support portions 12a are fixed around the waterproof case 11, and the horns 12 are each provided with a cutter blade at an end of the horn 12 protruding from a hole formed in the waterproof case 11. 13 is fixed, and furthermore, a piezoelectric vibrator 14 is fixed to the horn 12 to form an ultrasonic cutter 15. A cord 16 connected to the slip ring 7 passes through the hollow rotary shaft 6a, It is connected to the body oscillator 14.

In the thus-configured garbage disposal apparatus of this embodiment, the motor 6 rotates the waterproof case 11 at a very high speed, so that the garbage and vegetable peels put into the container 5 are removed. The dust is pulverized by cutter blades 13 fixed to a horn 12 attached to a waterproof case 11, and high-frequency power from the transmitter 9 is supplied from the current collector 8 and the slip ring 7 to the ultrasonic cutter 15 via a cord 16. Is applied to the piezoelectric vibrator 14, and the horn 1
The cutter blade 13 fixed to the end portion 2 is excited, and the garbage in contact with the cutter blade 13 is cut by the cutter blade itself, so that hard garbage can be easily crushed.

In the garbage processing apparatus of this embodiment, the piezoelectric vibrator 1 is used in addition to the conventional pulverization using a cutter blade.
The raw garbage is cut by the vibration of the cutter blade 13 by 5 so that the raw garbage is crushed in a short time, and the decrease in the sharpness of the cutter blade 13 can be compensated for by the ultrasonic vibration. The time can be reduced to a short time, and the ultrasonic vibration is applied to the cut garbage, so that the emulsification and sonochemical reactions are promoted, and a uniform crushed garbage liquid is produced.

In the above embodiment, the ultrasonic cutter 1
Although the example in which four 6 are mounted on the waterproof case 11 is shown, two or more ultrasonic transducers 16 can be mounted.

[0011]

As described above, in the garbage disposal apparatus using the ultrasonic cutter of the present invention, the garbage put into the container is pulverized and ultrasonically vibrated by the cutter blade fixed to the horn of the ultrasonic cutter. The crushed garbage can be crushed in a short time because the crushed liquid is cut and crushed, and ultrasonic vibration is applied to the crushed liquid.
There is an advantage that emulsification and sonochemical reaction are promoted, and a uniformly pulverized liquid is obtained.
