There are two methods, a continuous processing operation method and a batch processing operation method.

[0004] The continuous processing operation type disposer is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, the garbage inlet 1a and the garbage water pipe 1b of the disposer main body 1 are always kept open so that the garbage can be crushed at any time, and an operation switch (not shown) is turned on. The crushing operation is always continued unless the operation switch is turned off. For this reason, there is a danger of injury if a finger or hand is put through the slot 1a due to something impetuous, and if the spoon etc. falls down accidentally, the rotating system will be locked and malfunction will occur. There was a problem that caused the

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 16, in a batch processing operation type disposer, generated garbage is thrown into the disposer body 1 and accumulated each time, and the lid switch 3 is turned on at an appropriate time. The garbage is crushed in a state where the garbage is inserted and the garbage water pipe 1b is closed. Therefore, there is no possibility that the spoon or the like falls into the disposer main body 1 during operation, and that no injury is caused even if a finger or a hand is put into the garbage inlet 1a due to something.

[0006]

In any of the above-mentioned disposers of the operation type, during operation, loud noise is generated by crushing garbage such as fish bones, bird bones, egg shells and vegetables. This noise is emitted from the garbage inlet 1a and gives the user discomfort.

[0007] In particular, the disposer of the continuous processing operation type has a garbage inlet 1a and a garbage drain pipe 1 even during operation.
Since b is open, the noise emitted from the garbage inlet 1a is considerably loud.

In the batch processing operation type disposer, the garbage flow pipe 1b is closed by the lid switch 3, but during the operation of the disposer, crushed garbage is discharged from the drain pipe by flowing water and discharged. Therefore, the lid switch 3 is provided with a water passage opening for passing the water, and the noise leaking through the opening is smaller than that of the continuous processing operation type disposer, but is a problem.

An object of the present invention is to realize a disposer with low noise.

The disposer main body 10 can be brought into an operating state. Then, the water for flushing the crushed garbage into the drain pipe enters the water reservoir 15c from the water inlet opening 15a and accumulates in the container 15c, and a part of the water overflows from the overflow port 15d and flows from the lid switch outer cylinder 15e. It is poured into the disposer body 10.

During this operation, the noise generated by the crushing of garbage in the disposer main body 10 tries to diverge from the water inlet 15a by moving backward in the space of the water passage.
Since the space of this water passage is blocked by the sound insulation tube 15f extending to the reservoir water in the water reservoir 15c, the reverse noise is not blocked here and emitted to the outside of the machine.

FIGS. 11 and 12 show a batch processing operation type disposer showing a fourth embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is also a disposer in which a sound insulation function is added to the lid switch. FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the lid switch, and FIG.

By installing such a lid switch 16 on the garbage water pipe 10b of the disposer body 10,
The disposer main body 10 can be brought into an operating state. Then, the water for flushing the crushed garbage into the drain pipe enters the upper container 16d from the water inlet opening 16c, enters the water reservoir 16e from the water passage opening 16a through the sound insulation tube 16f, and enters the water reservoir 16e. Pool, part of which overflows 16
g and overflows into the disposer body 10.

During this operation, the noise generated by the garbage crushing in the disposer body 10 tries to diverge from the water inlet 16c by reversing the space of the water passage.
Since the space of the water passage is blocked by the sound insulating cylinder 16f extending to the reservoir water in the water reservoir 16e, the backward noise is blocked here and is not emitted outside the machine.

[0031]

According to the present invention, the water flowing into the disposer body for discharging the crushed garbage is stored in a water reservoir provided on the sound insulation cover or the lid switch, and the water is stored in the disposer body by using the accumulated water or the running water. Since the reverse space of the generated noise is blocked or narrowed, the noise emission from the garbage inlet is small and a quiet disposer can be obtained.

In a batch processing operation type disposer having a lid switch, since the water reservoir is incorporated in the lid switch, no special operation is required, and therefore, the handling becomes easy.

Further, if a sound insulating cover is provided at the food waste inlet, the sound insulating cover can be prepared so that it can be applied to any of the existing continuous processing operation system and batch processing operation system. it can.
