Hereinafter, the process of processing garbage by the control device 100 will be briefly described in order. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the garbage processing process. First, as the garbage accumulates in the draining section 4, the water in the garbage naturally flows out from the plurality of small holes formed in the draining section 4 to the discharge path 8, and the garbage is discharged. Is drained.

(Block a) When the user disposes of the garbage deposited in the draining section 4, when the foot pedal is first depressed, the opening / closing gate 7 operates and the input port 6 is opened. I do. At this time, the drainer 4 is removed upward, and the garbage in the drainer 4 is transferred from the input port 6 to the transfer path 5.
Into the crushing unit 11 through Subsequently, the foot is released from the foot pedal, and the opening 6 is closed by the opening / closing gate 7.

(Blocks b and c, crushing control, stirring control)
Then, the control device 100 determines that the opening / closing gate 7 has changed from the state in which the opening 6 has been opened to the state in which it has been closed, and automatically turns on the crushing motor 13 of the crushing unit 11 for a predetermined time (30 seconds).

The agitating motor 20 operates for two minutes every hour as described above without depressing the foot pedal as described above, and when the foot pedal is operated as described above. Also works. Then, the decomposition gas generated by this decomposition is discharged to the sewer pipe 26 by the ventilation pump 24. When the garbage disposal device 1 is not used, the wastewater is sent from the discharge passage 9 located on the right side in FIG.

Since foreign matter such as slimy and fine microbial carriers 31 is mixed in the decomposed water, foreign matter adheres and accumulates on the upper surface of the inclined surface 32a, thereby deteriorating drainage of the decomposed water. There is a problem of doing. Further, when a large amount of water enters the microbial container 15, foreign matter such as the fine garbage and undecomposable calcium, etc., flows downward from the water passage hole 16a due to the water, and only the foreign matter is formed on the inclined surface 32a. And the drainage of the decomposed water deteriorates.

As a specific example, for example, when garbage and water are transferred together from the input port 6 to the crushing unit 11 (a water supply (not shown) above the sink 2 is not used), in this embodiment, particularly, Since the refuse inlet 6 is provided below the drain hole 3, the gate 7 is opened and a large amount of wastewater enters the microorganism container 15 through the inlet 6 using the above-mentioned water supply. .

Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a water channel 21 for guiding water is provided on the inclined surface 32a (the decomposed water drainage channel 17), so that the foreign matter flows down. Hereinafter, the water channel 21 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, the water channel 21 is configured to guide a part of the drainage flowing into the drainage pipe 9 to the inclined surface 32a. That is, the water channel 21 communicates with the drain hole 3.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the water channel 21 is composed of a rubber pipe 21a formed of a rubber material such as butyl rubber and a stainless pipe 21b formed of stainless steel which is a metal having excellent corrosion resistance. It is formed of a tube member. One end (upstream end) of the rubber pipe 21a is fitted into a cylindrical mounting portion (not shown) formed so as to protrude from the discharge pipe 9, and is fixed with a hose band as a fixing means.

It is arranged below. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the stainless steel pipe 21b is
It is installed in the space between the two. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the stainless steel pipe 21 b is formed to bend along the inner surface of the outer container 32, and is disposed below the microorganism container 15 so as to avoid the punching metal 15. The stainless steel pipe 21b is disposed on the bottom surface of the outer container 32 (decomposed water drainage channel 17) as shown in FIG.

Then, the stainless steel pipe 21b is
As shown in FIG. Further, a downstream portion of the stainless steel pipe 21b is held by a stepped portion 32b formed in the outer container 32 as shown in FIG.
In FIG. 3, the microorganism container 15 is not shown,
Punched metal 16 is shown for clarity in the description.

The downstream end of the stainless steel pipe 21b is
It is crushed and closed. A water outlet 21c having a diameter of 10 mm is formed in the outer peripheral portion near the distal end of the downstream portion of the stainless steel pipe 21b as shown in FIG. The water outlet 21c is located at the center of the two punching metals 16 in the vertical direction in FIG. 3, and is located just upstream of the inclined portion 32a.

The water outlet 21c is provided for draining the drain water from the drain hole 3 from the upper part of the inclined part 32a (upstream of the drainage channel 17 for decomposed water) to the lower part of the inclined part (downstream side of the drainage channel 17 for decomposed water).
It is open to flow toward. This makes it possible to use the flow of water from the water channel 21 to effectively remove foreign substances accumulated in the decomposed water drainage channel 17. Hereinafter, the flow of drainage to the water channel 21 will be briefly described.

First, water work is performed in the sink 2. For example, tap water (drainage) from a tap (not shown) provided above the sink 2 flows into the drain hole 3 of the sink 2. . Then, after passing through the draining section 4, it flows into the drainage channel 5 and then into the discharge pipe 9. Subsequently, part of the drainage flowing into the discharge pipe 9 flows into the water channel 21.

Then, the drain water flowing into the water channel 21 flows from the water outlet 21c of the stainless steel pipe 21b to the inclined surface 32c.
a is discharged from the upper inclined portion toward the lower inclined portion.
As a result, the drainage discharged from the water outlet 21c flows smoothly from the left side to the right side in FIG. 2 through the inclined surface 32a, so that foreign matters accumulated on the inclined surface 32a are effectively flowed down, and the wastewater is discharged together with the foreign matter. It flows into the water pipe 26.

Thus, in the present embodiment, by effectively utilizing the waste water, the amount of foreign matter that accumulates on the inclined portion 32a is reduced, and the decomposed water flows into the sewer pipe 26 reliably.
In the present embodiment, the garbage disposal device 1 is disposed below the sink 2 so that the drainage channel 17 for the decomposed water and the drain holes 3 are provided.
Can be brought close to each other, so that the water channel 21 can be easily arranged.

(Second Embodiment) In the first embodiment, the drainage from the drain hole 3 (discharge channel 8) is
Thereby, it was led to the inclined surface 32a. However, according to the study of the present inventor, the discharge passage 8 has a drain hole 3.
The garbage and foreign substances that have entered from the
(1) The drainage property deteriorates.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the upper end of the water channel 21 is not connected to the drain pipe 9 but is attached to the discharge channel 8. Here, the filter member 60 in the present invention may be installed anywhere as long as it is an upstream portion of the water channel 21.

However, when the garbage disposal apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1 is installed at the upper end (A in FIG. 1) of the rubber pipe 21a in the first embodiment, a cover case (not shown) serving as a design surface is attached. Therefore, the inspection and maintenance of the filter member 60 becomes complicated. Further, for example, if the upper end side (B in FIG. 1) of the rubber pipe 21a is installed in the discharge pipe 9 in the first embodiment, the inspection and maintenance of the filter member 60 becomes complicated, and the filter member 60 reduces the water flow resistance. By increasing, drain 2
The drainage of No. 6 may be deteriorated.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the upstream portion of the water channel 21 is connected to the discharge channel 8 located on the upstream side of the discharge pipe 9. As shown in FIG. 5, the opening / closing gate 7 is provided with a pair of arms 61, and a lower end of the arm 61 is provided with a rotating shaft 62. The opening / closing gate 7 is configured to rotate in the left-right direction in the figure by the rotation shaft 62 being rotatably supported by the drain case 8a.

As shown in FIG. 6, the drainage case 8a is formed with an opening 64 for guiding drainage to the water channel 21. At the opening end of the opening 64, a cylindrical and outwardly projecting mounting portion is provided. A portion 65 is formed. The rubber pipe 21b is fitted into the mounting portion 65. Specifically, a mounting adapter (not shown) is provided at an end of the rubber pipe 21b. As shown in FIG. 6, three bosses 66 protruding outward are integrally formed on an outer peripheral portion of the mounting portion 65. These bosses 66 are provided with a screwing portion for screwing the mounting adapter. Has become.

On the inner surface of the drain case 8a, filter holding portions 67 are integrally formed on both sides of the opening 64 in FIG. The filter holding portion 67 is formed so as to extend in the front and back directions in FIG. 6, and is for holding the filter member 60 in the drain case 8a. Note that this filter holding section 67 is not shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 described later.

In the filter holding section 67, FIG.
The middle right side is formed so that the tip is bent,
The distal end portion is formed as a hook portion 67a so as to bulge outward from the drainage case 8a. Next, the filter member 60 will be described. FIG. 8 shows the positional relationship and details of the opening / closing gate 7 and the filter member 60 viewed from above in FIG. FIG. 9 shows a single view of the filter member 60.

The filter member 60 in the present embodiment
Is formed of a metal such as stainless steel having excellent corrosion resistance. The method of forming the filter member 60 will be briefly described. First, by pressing a substantially rectangular plate material,
Six filter openings 68 are formed, which form water holes for sending only water in the drainage to the water channel 21. afterwards,
As shown in FIGS. 6, 8, and 9, three sides of the rectangular plate material are bent in the same direction to form three bent portions 69 to 71. As a result, the filter member 60 includes the bent portions 69 to 71 and the plate-shaped portion 72 serving as a substrate as shown in FIG.

At this time, the three bent portions 69 to 7
1, two bent portions 70 and 71 facing each other
Is bent outward in the opposite direction as shown in FIGS. Thereby, the bent portions 70 and 71
Engagement parts 70a and 71a that engage with the filter holding part 67 are formed on each of the parts. Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 9, a handle portion 70b is formed in the engagement portion 70a so as to further protrude partially. This handle 70b
The filter member 60 is used when the filter holding portion 67 is detached.

Next, a method of mounting the filter member 60 will be briefly described with reference to FIG. First, the handle 70b is elastically deformed toward the right side in FIG. That is, the handle 70b is pinched and elastically deformed so that the width of the filter member 60 in the left-right direction is reduced. And
In this state, the filter member 60 is moved downward from above in FIG.
Insert so that it is sandwiched between. Thereafter, the handle portion 70b is elastically restored, and the engaging portions 70a, 71a of the fitter member 67 are respectively engaged with the filter holding portion 67 by the restoring force. Thus, the filter member 60 is held between the filter members 67.

At this time, the filter holding section 67 on the right side in FIG.
The hook portion 67a is engaged with the engaging portion 71a so as to be hooked. Accordingly, the filter member 60 is prevented from dropping downward in FIG. Then, when the filter member 60 is attached in this manner, it is arranged so as to cover the opening 64 as shown in FIG. That is,
The opening 64 is surrounded by the three bent portions 69 to 71 and the plate-shaped portion 72. Also, as shown in FIG. 9, the lower end of the filter member 60 in the figure is open, but when the filter member 60 is attached as described above,
This lower end contacts the bottom of the drain case 8a (see FIG. 5). Therefore, in the present embodiment, the three bent portions 6 are used.
The opening 64 is covered with 9 to 71, the plate-shaped portion 72, and the bottom.

In this manner, the garbage and foreign substances flowing from the discharge passage 8 are collected by the filter member 60, and only the waste water is passed through the filter opening 68 to the water passage 2.
