Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a kitchen waste processing device that is installed in a sink or the like, and in addition to forcibly dispersing the kitchen waste and sewage, the kitchen waste is stored in a dehydrated state in a plastic bag for sanitary purposes. This makes it possible to dispose of kitchen waste.

Examples thereof will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a water tank in the sink, 2 is an opening drilled in the bottom of this water tank 1, and 3 is a drain pipe connected to the opening 2.
A device main body 5 is connected to this lower part via a connecting tube 4 made of rubber or the like.

The device main body 5 has a processing section in which a kitchen waste crusher 6 and a water separation capacity 7 located on its outer periphery are rotated by the same motor 8, and the kitchen waste finely crushed by the crusher 6 is then separated into water The wastewater is dehydrated by a separation capacity 7 and reaches a plastic bag 10 in a case 9 with a lid, and the wastewater flows into a sewage waterway via a wastewater channel 11.

12 is a mounting ring provided on the outer periphery of the drain pipe 3; 13 is a screw screwed upward into this mounting ring 12; its tip is connected to the water tank 1;
The flange 14, which projects outward from the upper opening edge of the drain tube 3, is pressed against the upper edge of the opening 2 via the backing 15. This allows the drain pipe 3 to be attached to the bottom of the water tank 1.

Reference numerals 16 and 17 indicate a tightening band, and 18 indicates a lid device attached to the upper opening of the drain tube 3.

This lid device 18 is removably attached to the inner surface of the drain tube 3 in a non-rotatable state, and is rotatable with respect to the lid frame 21 in which the drain hole 19 and the cylindrical portion 20 are formed, and the cylindrical portion 20. It consists of a lid 22 which is attached so as to be slidable up and down, and a magnet holder 24 in which a hollow shaft part 23 faces rotatably within the cylindrical part 20.

More specifically, from the lid body 22, the magnetic holder 2
A shaft 25 that passes through 4 in a non-rotatable manner and is slidable in the axial direction.
is installed vertically, and the magnet holder 24 also rotates in response to the rotation of the lid body 22.

On the other hand, a cam ridge 27 having a locking recess 26 at the top is formed at the upper end of the cylindrical portion 20, and the tip of a protrusion 28 protruding from the lid 22 is in contact with the cam ridge 27.

29 urges the lid body 22 downward and attaches the magnetic holder 2
4 for holding the hollow shaft portion 23 in the cylindrical portion 20; 30 is a magnet attached to the magnet holder 24; 31 corresponds to the magnet 30 and is attached to the mounting ring 12 outside the drain pipe 3; A reed switch for controlling the start and stop of the motor 8, 32° 33. 34 is a water storage, drainage/off, drainage/person display section provided near the outer periphery of the lid frame 21, 35
is an indicator formed on the lid body 22.

In the above configuration, FIG. 1 shows a state in which water is stored in the water tank 1, and at this time, the lid body 22 closes the drain hole 19 of the lid frame 21.

When the lid body 22 is rotated clockwise from above, the protrusion 2
8 rises along the cam ridge 27 of the cylindrical part 20, and the indicator part 3
5 indicates the drain/off display section 33, it is locked in the locking recess 26 at the top.

Here, the lid body 22 is displaced upward to open the drain hole 19,
While the water tank 1 is drained, kitchen waste also flows into the device body 5 at the same time.

Furthermore, when the lid body 22 is enclosed until the instruction section 35 indicates the drain/person display section 34, the drain hole 19 becomes half open, and the magnet 30 of the magnet holder 24 faces the reed switch 31, which is turned ON. shall be.

Therefore, the crushing body 6 and the water separation capacity 7 are rotated by passing through the motor 8, and the above-mentioned kitchen waste treatment is performed.

In addition, in order to prevent the lid device 18 from being unintentionally detached during the kitchen waste processing, an engaging portion 36 is provided which engages the drain pipe 3 and a part of the lid device 18, for example, the magnetic holder 24.
It is desirable to form the engaged portion 37 in advance.

By the way, in order to ensure the relationship between the instruction section 35 and the display sections 32, 33, and 34, especially the instructions on the display section 34 for draining and cutting by the instruction section 35, it is necessary to accurately mount the Lead SWITCH 'f31 in a predetermined position. There is.

The reed switch 31 may be installed on the outer periphery of the drain pipe 3, but since the drain pipe 3 is inserted from above into the opening 2 of the water tank 1 and from the wiring work side,
I can't say it's a desirable location.

For this reason, in the present invention, the reed switch 3 is attached to the mounting ring 12.
1 is provided, and this attachment ring 12 is accurately attached to the drain pipe 3.

That is, the attachment ring 12 is attached to the outer periphery of the drain pipe 3 using a bayonet mechanism, and in FIGS.
8 and 39 are two on the outer periphery of the drain pipe 3 at an interval of 120°.
The upper protrusion 3 is arranged in rows, and the upper protrusion 3 is used to attach the mounting ring 12.
8 is functional, and the lower protrusion 39 is used for locking the connecting tube 4.

A notch 4 is provided in the center of each of the protrusions 38 and 39.
0 is formed, and the other one of the upper protrusions 38 is provided with a stopper 41.

On the other hand, on the inner periphery of the mounting ring 12, protrusions 42 having an inner diameter that is approximately the same as the outer diameter of the connecting tube 4 are formed at intervals of 120°, and the inner diameter of the four parts 43 located between the protrusions 42 are protrusions. The inner diameter is set to be approximately the same as the outer diameter of the strips 38 and 39.

44 is a protrusion formed in one of the recesses 43.

With the above configuration, the attachment ring 12 is fitted into the drain tube 3 with the protrusions 42 facing between the 38 protrusions and the protrusions 39.

If the attachment ring 12 is rotated with the attachment ring 12 positioned on the upper protrusion 38, the protrusion 42 will overlap on the protrusion 38, thereby preventing the attachment ring 12 from being removed.

When the mounting ring 12 is attached, due to the presence of the protrusion 44, one protrusion 38 having a notch 40 as shown in FIG.
A recess 43 having a protrusion 44 that can fit into this notch 40
Since it cannot be inserted into the drain pipe 3 unless the reed switch 31 is adjusted, when the mounting ring 12 is rotated until one of the protrusions 42 hits the stopper 41', the reed switch 31 is inevitably set to the position shown in Fig. 7. It is something.

In this way, the present invention connects the main body of the device, which has the functions of pulverizing kitchen waste, separating waste water, and disposing of the crushed and dehydrated kitchen waste into a bag, to the drainage part of the water tank through the drain tube. The inlet of this drain tube is equipped with a lid device that opens and closes the drain hole by rotation, and a magnet that responds to this rotation. is opened and closed by the above-mentioned magnet, and is equipped with a reed switch for controlling the start/stop of the motor of the main body of the device, and the mounting ring is configured to be attached to the drain pipe in an extremely accurate position, making the disposal of kitchen waste more efficient. Not only can the bag be disposed of in a very hygienic manner, but also water storage and operation control of the device body can be accurately performed simply by rotating the lid device.

In particular, a reed switch is installed on the mounting ring of the drain pipe, making it possible to accurately set the position of the mounting ring relative to the drain pipe, making it possible to accurately link the operation of the lid device to the operation control of the main body of the device. , not only improves safety, but also
Installation can also be made more convenient.
