Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention drains the kitchen waste crushed by a disposer while being transported by a water-permeable conveyor belt, and when the drained kitchen waste descends from the end of the conveyor belt, it is placed in a storage container. The present invention relates to a kitchen waste processing device that is housed in a storage space, and in particular, delays control is performed on a disposer, which is a motor for driving a conveyor belt, to prevent kitchen garbage from remaining on the conveyor belt.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a sink having a top plate 3 with a sink 2, a front plate 4, a drawer 5, an article storage section 7 with a door 6, etc.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a conventional general disposer attached to the bottom wall of the sink tank 2. This disposer 8 includes a crushing mechanism (not shown) for crushing kitchen waste thrown in with water, and a motor 9 for rotationally driving this crushing mechanism. It is configured to discharge the internally crushed kitchen waste together with water through a discharge pipe 10.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a kitchen waste processing device which is placed in the article storage section 7.
2, a main body case 15 in the form of a hollow housing constitutes an exterior body forming a kitchen waste collection chamber 13 at the front of the interior and a water receiving chamber 14 at the rear of the interior, and the interior of the collection chamber 13 of this main body case 15. There is a storage container 17 with an upper opening inserted into and out of the front opening 16, etc.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a kitchen waste introduction passage whose lower part opens into the water receiving chamber 14 . The discharge pipe 10 of the disposer 8 is inserted into the upper part of this introduction passage 18 .
At the lower end of the hanging plate 19 forming one side wall, a bent piece 19' is formed which is bent into an oblique upper blade toward an external force.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a water-permeable conveyor belt which is made of a flexible endless wide band member and has a large number of water-permeable holes 21, 21 throughout, and this conveyor belt 20 has its conveyance start end connected to the introduction path. 18 and supported in an inclined manner by a pair of front and rear support rows 222.22 which are rotatably supported so as to position the conveyance terminal end above the collection chamber 13, The conveyor belt 20 is rotated by a drive motor 23 that drives one support row 222 to rotate at a low speed so that the kitchen waste that has fallen from the introduction path 18 is conveyed to the collection chamber 13 side.

Reference numeral 24 designates a drain port for discharging moisture from the water receiving chamber 14 of the kitchen waste flowing down from the water holes 21, 21, . The water is drained into sewer pipes, etc.

26 is located below the collection chamber 13, and the storage container 17
This table 26 is a table on which the storage container 17 is placed when stored in the main body case 15, and this table 26 is supported by a spring 27 so as to be movable up and down.

Reference numeral 28 indicates that when the storage container 17 is filled with kitchen waste that has descended from the conveyor belt 20, the table 26 moves downward in response to the weight of the kitchen waste, and this downward movement causes the main body case 1 to move downward.
A switch 30 is a normally open switch that is turned on when the storage container 17 is inserted and turned off when it is pulled out. is attached to a suitable position on the partition plate 30 located inside the collection chamber 13.

Further, 31 is an operation switch provided on the front plate 4 of the sink 1.

Further, 32 shown in FIG. 3 is a thermorelay, and this thermorelay 32 causes the drive motor 23 of the conveyor belt 20 to operate in a delayed manner with respect to the motor 9 of the disposer 8. , buzzer 29,
The driving motor 23 of the conveyor belt 20 and the like constitute a circuit shown in FIG. 3.

When the operation switch 31 is turned on with the storage container 17 inserted into the main body case 15, the power supply 33 connects the motor 9 of the disposer 8 and the thermorelay via the changeover switch 28, the normally open switch 30, and the operation switch 31. 32
After a predetermined time delay of 5 to 10 seconds from the activation of the disposer 8, the thermorelay 3 is powered on.
2 is turned on, the driving motor 23 of the conveyor belt 20 rotates, and the conveyor belt 20 rotates in the direction of arrow A.

Next, when kitchen waste is put into the disposer 8 together with water in this state, the kitchen waste is finely pulverized by a crushing mechanism (not shown) and then flows out into the introduction path 18 of the kitchen waste processing device 11 through the discharge pipe 10. Then, it falls onto the transport start end of the transport belt 20.

Further, the fallen kitchen waste is drained by the water hole 21 while being conveyed by the conveyor belt 20, and the drained kitchen waste is transferred to the conveyor belt 2.
When it descends from the conveyance end portion of No. 0, it is stored in the storage container 17.

On the other hand, the water from the kitchen waste flowing down from the water passage hole 21 is transferred to the water receiving chamber 14.
The water is drained from the drain port 24 to a sewer pipe or the like via a drain pipe 25.

Further, when the operation switch 31 is turned off after the kitchen waste processing work is completed, the motor 9 of the disposer 8 is stopped, and the power supply to the heater coil 32a of the thermo-relay 32 is stopped, and after a delay of 5 to 10 seconds, the thermo-relay is turned off. 32 is turned off and the driving motor 23 of the conveyor belt 20 stops.

Therefore, all the kitchen waste on the conveyor belt 20 is removed from the conveyor belt 20.
The conveyor belt 20 is configured to stop after descending from the conveyance end portion.

In addition, when the storage container 17 becomes almost full during the kitchen waste processing operation, the chiffle 26 moves downward due to its weight, the changeover switch 28 switches from the contact 28a to the contact 28b on the buzzer 29 side, and the disposer 8 motor 9 and conveyor belt 2
0 drive motor 23 stops and the buzzer 29 sounds to notify that the amount is full.

The present invention is as described above, and particularly includes a main body case that communicates with the discharge pipe of the disposer attached to the bottom wall of the sink tank and has a drain port in the lower part, and a conveyance start end that is provided inside the main case. a water-permeable conveyor belt provided at a position where the kitchen waste flows out of the discharge pipe, a motor for driving the conveyor belt, a storage container for storing the kitchen waste that has descended from the conveyance terminal end of the conveyor belt, and Since it has a delay means such as a thermorelay that delays the disposer by a predetermined time, such as a motor for driving a belt, kitchen waste crushed by the disposer can be automatically stored in a storage container in a drained state. Of course, since the conveyor belt drive motor is made to stop after a predetermined time delay with respect to the disposer, the conveyor belt will not stop when kitchen waste is left on the conveyor belt. There is no risk of sticking to the conveyor belt, degrading the conveyor belt, or reducing water passing ability.
