Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a kitchen waste processing machine that crushes and processes kitchen waste, and its purpose is to provide a kitchen waste processing machine that has improved crushing ability.

In conventional kitchen waste processing machines, a hammer mill method is generally used to crush kitchen waste.

According to this method, kitchen waste is ground using a fixed blade and a rotating blade at the bottom of the grinding chamber. Kitchen waste, which has both hardness and tenacity, has the problem of being thrown up by the rotating blade, making it difficult to get between the fixed blade and the rotating blade, and requiring a long time to process.

In addition, kitchen waste that has a large surface area and is flexible, such as cabbage peels, has the problem of sticking to the inner wall of the grinding chamber and not falling into the grinding section, making it impossible to process it for any length of time.

The present invention provides a kitchen waste disposal machine that solves these problems.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

9 a is a form of authority.

8 is a cover attached under the grinding chamber 2a and the cover part 2b, and the cover part 2
It has a peripheral wall part 8b disposed up to the outer peripheral edge of b, a garbage discharge port 8C is formed at a suitable position on the peripheral wall part 8b, and a drain port 8d is formed in the bottom plate part 8a.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a drive section disposed on the lower surface of the bottom plate part 8a, which includes a motor 10, a support shaft 13 that passes through a hole in the bottom plate part 8a and is rotatably supported by bearings 11 and 12, and a drive part 9 for driving the motor. A pair of gears 14 and 15 are respectively fixed on the rotation shaft 10 and the support shaft 13 and mesh with each other.
and has.

Note that the support shaft 13 is arranged concentrically with the grinding chamber 2a.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a rotary plate arranged concentrically with the grinding chamber 2a at the upper end of the support shaft 13 and secured by a nut 17, and is arranged close to the lower end of the grinding chamber 2a.

18 is a rotating arm that is bent from the lower surface of the rotating plate 16 and extends upward along the rising portion of the cover portion 2b; 19 is a spinner for dewatering, and the rotating arm 18 is sandwiched between the lower surface of the rotating plate 16; A mounting plate 20 fixed to the support shaft 13, an upwardly expanding conical cylindrical mesh 21 rising from the outer peripheral edge of the mounting plate 20, and a plurality of blades 22 fixed to the upper edge of the iron mesh 21. It consists of a frame 23.

24 is a slit in the net 21, and 25 is a pair of rotating blades fixed on the rotating plate 16, the cutting edges of which are close to the fixed blade 4.

Reference numeral 26 denotes a scraping spatula that is suspended along the inner circumferential surface of the net 21 from the cover portion 2b.

27 is a kitchen waste storage box connected to the kitchen waste outlet 8C,
The upper end is removably supported by a buckle 28 provided on the cover part 2b, and a projection 27a at the lower end projects from the outer wall of the drive part 9 and is fitted into the part 9a.

29 is a lid attached to the upper opening of the kitchen waste storage box 27;
30 is a kitchen waste storage bag.

A trap 31 is connected to the drain port 8d and communicates with the sewage.

The operation of the above configuration will be explained.

Kitchen waste generated in the kitchen or the like is charged into the grinding chamber 2a through the input port 3.

Next, insert the movable plate 38b of the lid 37 into the inlet 3,
Further, the fixing plate 39 is pushed into the input port 3 against the spring 40, and after the protrusion 39a passes through the notch 35b of the cap 35 and enters the annular groove 35a, the fixing plate 35 is turned. Then, the protrusion 39a is engaged with the annular groove 35a.

Then, the kitchen waste in the crushing chamber 2a is pushed down and compressed by the spring 40 via the movable plate 38b.

Next, when the motor 10 is operated, the rotating plate 16, the rotating arm 18, and the spinner 19 are rotated via the gears 14, 15 and the support shaft 13.

Then, since the kitchen waste in the crushing chamber 2a is pressed downward by the movable plate, it is reliably fed between the fixed blade 4 and the rotating blade 25, crushed, dehydrated, and thrown into the net 21 of the spinner 19. It will be done.

The food waste containing a large amount of water, which is pressed against the net 21 rotating at high speed, is dehydrated by the centrifugal force and is turned up and lifted up by the spatula 26, and then moved to the rotating arm 1.
8 and reaches the upper end of the net 21, and is thrown into the kitchen waste storage bag 30 of the kitchen waste storage box 27 by the blades 22 provided on the outer frame 23.

As described above, according to the kitchen waste processing machine of the present invention, since the lid body is provided with a pressurizing function, kitchen waste can be forcibly fed between the fixed blade and the rotary blade.

This completely eliminates the conventional problems of kitchen waste being thrown up, prolonging the grinding time, and kitchen waste sticking to the wall of the grinding chamber, making it impossible to grind. It is possible to save electricity.

Further, if the lid body is composed of a fixed plate, a movable plate, and a spring, it is possible to easily know when the kitchen waste has been crushed by visually checking the movement status of the movable plate.

Further, since the movable plate slides within the grinding chamber, kitchen waste adhering to the wall surface of the grinding chamber is scraped off by the movable plate.

Therefore, it is possible to keep the interior of the grinding chamber clean at all times, and has great practical value.
