A main body case 14 in the form of a hollow casing constitutes an exterior body that partitions each of the water receiving chambers 13, and an upper surface opening that is housed in the collection chamber 12 of the main body case 14 so as to be freely accessible through a front opening 15. It consists of a container 16, etc., and the upper part of the partition plate 11 is bent forward, and the upper end thereof is in substantially contact with the terminal end of the conveyor belt 11, which will be described later.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a wide endless conveyor belt made of a flexible belt-like member made of synthetic rubber or the like, and having a large number of water passage holes 17a, 17a, . . . throughout the conveyor belt. It is supported in an inclined manner by a pair of front and rear support rollers 18, 18 rotatably attached to the upper part of the water receiving chamber 12 and the rear part of the water receiving chamber 13, respectively.

Numerous projections 18a, 18a, . . . are provided protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the support roller 18, and each of the projections 18a, 18a, . It is set up like this.

Reference numeral 19 denotes a belt driving motor installed on the outer surface of the side wall of the main body case 14. This motor 19 operates in conjunction with the desposer 8, and drives one of the rollers 18 at a low speed to rotate the conveyor belt 11 in the direction of the arrow. It rotates in the direction of.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a kitchen waste introduction path whose lower part opens above the starting end of the conveyor belt 11, and is connected to the discharge pipe 9 of the disposer 8.
An insertion port 21 for the discharge pipe 9 is provided in the upper wall of the main body case 14 so as to communicate with the main body case 14, and a hanging plate 22 forming one side wall of the introduction path 20 has a lower end bent outward along the conveyor bell N7. A bent piece 22a is formed, and a support piece 22b bent upward is formed at the tip of this bent piece 22a.

Reference numeral 23 denotes a squeeze roller rotatably supported by a support rod 24 fixed to the support piece 22b. 23b is integrally attached to the top surface of the conveyor belt 17, or is provided with a slight gap therebetween.

Reference numeral 24 denotes a rotatable auxiliary roller provided opposite to the squeeze roller 23. The auxiliary roller 24 is attached so as to come into contact with the lower surface of the conveyor belt 17 and sandwich the conveyor belt 17 together with the squeeze roller 23.

Reference numeral 24 denotes a drain port for discharging moisture from the kitchen waste flowing out from the water passage hole 17a of the conveyor belt 11 from the water receiving chamber 13, and is communicated with a drain pipe 25, through which the moisture is discharged to a sewer pipe or the like. be done.

Reference numeral 26 denotes a kitchen waste disposal bag mounted inside the storage container 16; 27;
is a table located below the collection chamber 12 on which the storage container 16 is placed; this table 27 is supported by a spring 28 so as to be vertically movable.

29 corresponds to the weight of kitchen waste in the storage container 16, and is turned on when the table 21 moves downward; 30;
is a full quantity indicating buzzer provided on the front wall of the main body case 14, which makes a sound when the micro switch 29 is turned on to notify the full quantity.

Next, to explain the operation, when the motor 19 of the kitchen waste processing device 10 is driven together with the disposer 8, the crushed kitchen waste is discharged from the discharge pipe 9 into the introduction path 20 together with water, and this kitchen waste is transferred to the conveyor belt. 11 and is placed thereon, and the kitchen waste is conveyed by the movement of the surface of the conveyor bell N7 and drained through the water passage holes 17a, 17a, . . . .

Furthermore, this kitchen waste is pressed against the upper surface of the conveyor belt N7 by the squeezing roller 23 and the auxiliary roller 24 during conveyance, thereby reducing its volume and dewatering it.

The kitchen waste that has been compressed and dehydrated in this way descends from the folded end portion of the conveyor belt 11 and is placed in the kitchen waste processing bag 2 in the storage container 16.
It will be automatically stored in 6.

On the other hand, the water that has fallen from the water passage holes 1γa t 1γa .

In addition, small pieces of kitchen waste stuck in the water holes 17a, 17a, etc. are removed by a large number of protrusions 18 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the support roller 18.
a, 18a...

The kitchen waste processing device of the present invention is as described above, and in particular, the kitchen waste discharged from the disposer attached to the bottom wall of the sink is dropped onto a conveyor belt having water passage holes, and water is drained by the conveyor belt during conveyance. The kitchen waste is stored in a storage container when it descends from the conveyor belt, and the kitchen waste being conveyed by the conveyor belt is placed between a rotatable pressing roller, facing the pressing roller, and a lower surface of the conveying belt. Since it is configured to be squeezed by an auxiliary roller that is brought into contact with Can be stored in a storage container.

Furthermore, since the kitchen waste can be continuously squeezed while the device is in operation, it is easy to use without requiring special squeezing operations.
