Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention crushes kitchen waste from home kitchens etc. using an internal blade, centrifugally dehydrates it to separate water and kitchen waste, and stores the kitchen waste in a storage box that is removably connected to the outside of the container. This relates to a kitchen waste disposal machine that discharges and stores waste.

In the kitchen waste disposal machine having the above structure, as shown in FIG. 1, in the conventional kitchen waste storage box, the kitchen waste discharged from the kitchen waste outlet 102 of the main body 101 is sequentially accumulated from the bottom of the kitchen waste storage box 103 and stored therein. However, the kitchen waste processor is installed at the bottom of the sink's water tank, and most sinks have a door in the front, so the interior is not normally visible.

For this reason, people who dispose of kitchen waste in the kitchen often do so without knowing how much kitchen waste is stored in the kitchen waste storage box, and eventually the kitchen waste storage box 103 is filled and the waste is crushed one after another. The kitchen waste that is removed is not only washed away by the centrifugal dewatering equipment, making it impossible to dehydrate it, but also causing damage to the equipment.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and embodiments thereof will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

In the figure, 1 is a water tank such as a sink, 2 is a kitchen waste inlet attached to the water tank 1, and a main body 3 is fixed to the lower part via a fastening rubber 4.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a crushing chamber provided inside the main body 3, the inner lower end of which is formed into a bottomless cylindrical shape, and a fixed blade 6 is provided at the lower end of the crushing chamber 5.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a rotary blade that rotates facing the inner circumferential surface of the fixed blade 6, and its rotation is transmitted by a rotary shaft 10 from a motor 8 through a gear box 9.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a dewatering spinner that is fixed to the rotating shaft 10 and rotates, and its upper surface communicates with a kitchen waste outlet 12 that is opened in a part of the main body 3.

13 is a drain opening opened at the bottom of the main body 3, and the trap 1
It is connected to the sewer through 4.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a rotary arm that is close to the outer peripheral surface of the grinding chamber 5 and rotates simultaneously with the dewatering spinner, and 16 is a fixed arm that is fixed to a part of the main body 3 and is disposed close to the inner peripheral surface of the dewatering spinner 11. It is.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a kitchen waste storage box located at the kitchen waste outlet 12, and the connecting portion is held airtight by a backing 19.

A lid 21 is attached to the upper end opening 20 of the kitchen waste storage box 17, and the lower end of the kitchen waste storage box 17 has an engaging part 22 protruding from the main body 3, and the upper end has an eaves part 23 of the main body 3.
It is configured to be detachably attached to the body with a buckle 24.

The kitchen waste storage box 17 has a movable plate 27 rotatably supported at one end by a shaft 25 at the bottom and a magnet 26 arranged at the other end. It is pressed upward by the spring force of the supported kick spring 28.

Reference numeral 29 denotes a reed switch disposed on the main body 3 facing the movably disposed magnet 26, which normally senses the magnetic force of the magnet 26 and is in a closed state.

Reference numeral 30 denotes a kitchen waste discharge port 1 which is removably installed in the kitchen waste storage box 17.
It is a polyethylene bag connected to 2.

The operation of the above-mentioned structure will be explained. Kitchen waste made in the sink is charged into the grinding chamber 5 through the kitchen waste input port 2.

The rotary blade 7 and the dewatering spinner 11 are activated by the operation of the motor 8.
, and the rotating arm 15 rotate at the same time, the kitchen waste is crushed by the fixed blade 6 and the rotating blade 7, and is blown to the dewatering spinner 11 by centrifugal force.

The moisture from the kitchen waste pressed against the dewatering spinner 11 is separated, and the moisture is drained from the drain 13 through the trap 14 to the sewer.

The dehydrated kitchen waste is scooped up by the fixed arm 16,
Moreover, it is flipped up by the rotating arm 15 and stored in the polyethylene bag 30 in the kitchen waste storage box 1γ through the kitchen waste discharge port 12.

The kitchen waste stored in the polyethylene bag 30 applies pressure to the upper surface of the movable plate 27, and eventually pushes down the movable plate 27 more than the pressure of the kick spring 28 which applies pressure upward from the lower surface of the movable plate 27.

Then, the magnet 26 is removed from the magnetic force sensing range of the reed switch 30, and the reed switch 26 is opened, stopping the operation of the device.

In this way, according to the present invention, if kitchen waste accumulates in the kitchen waste storage box and the weight exceeds a certain level, the operation of the equipment will be automatically stopped, and the person working in the kitchen will be able to check the amount of accumulated waste one by one. Not only does this eliminate the hassle of having to worry about what to do while working, but even if you forget to throw out the garbage in the garbage storage box and work on it at 11, you will not have to worry about it getting stuck inside the equipment. This eliminates all problems and greatly reduces the causes of failures.

Since the reed switch mechanism is not used to stop the operation of the broken equipment, the electrical and mechanical switch parts are not exposed to the outside, so it has the advantage of high safety, and its practical value is outstanding. It is something.
