Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a kitchen waste processing device that separates kitchen waste crushed by a crushing mechanism from water using an inverted conical spinner and stores it in a dust box.

In general, in this type of kitchen waste processing equipment, even after dehydrating the kitchen waste, some moisture remains in the kitchen waste, and due to this moisture or its own stickiness, the kitchen waste is not completely transferred into the dust box, and some of the kitchen waste remains. There was a problem that the fuel was attached near the outlet. For this reason, when the dust box is removed from the main body, the kitchen waste adhering to the vicinity of the kitchen waste discharge port becomes visible from the outside, which is unsanitary, and the odor emanating from the kitchen waste is difficult to come out from the kitchen waste discharge port. The present invention aims to eliminate such conventional drawbacks, and one embodiment thereof will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a water tank such as a sink, 2 is its drain port, and 3
is formed into a bottomless cylindrical shape on the main body of the kitchen waste disposal device attached to the drain port 2, and a cover portion 3b that extends outward and upward is integrally formed on the lower opening edge of the cylindrical portion 3a. .

4 is a fixed blade formed by inserting a notch T in the cylindrical lower end of the upper body 3, and 5 is a fixed blade which is attached to the lower part of the upper body 3 and is separated by partition walls 5a and 5b below the main body of the kitchen waste processing device. It is divided into a chamber 6, a gear chamber T, and a motor chamber 8, and the separation chamber 6 is provided with a drain pipe 9 connected to sewage.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a motor provided in the motor chamber 8 of the lower body 5, and its motor shaft 11 faces the separation chamber 6 through the partition walls 5a and 5b.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a rotary plate fixed to the tip of the motor shaft 11, and a pair of left and right rotary blades 13 are provided on the upper surface thereof, facing the inner surface of the fixed blade 4.

Reference numeral 14 denotes an inverted conical dewatering spinner disposed in the separation chamber 6 so as to cover the outer periphery of the fixed blade 4, and has a large number of holes 15 in its conical surface.

This spinner 14 has a spinner shaft 16 attached to its bottom surface that is loosely inserted into the motor shaft 11 so that it can rotate freely, and a gear 1? is fixed. This gear IT is connected to a drive gear 19 fixed to the motor shaft 11 via a reduction gear 18 provided in the gear chamber T, so that the spinner 14 rotates slightly slower than the rotation of the rotary plate 12. It is set as. 2
Reference numeral 0 denotes a brush body disposed so as to be inscribed in the conical surface of the spinner 6, and as shown in FIG. 3, it is attached to a brush holder 21 provided on the rotary plate 12 with a slight play.

Reference numeral 22 denotes a bottomless cylindrical opening/closing body rotatably disposed around the outer periphery of the upper opening edge 14a of the spinner 14, and is provided at the joint between the upper and lower parts 3 and 5 of the main body corresponding to the upper opening edge 14a of the spinner 14. It has an opening 24 in a portion facing the kitchen waste discharge port 23.

A roller 25 is brought into contact with the outer periphery of the opening edge 14a of the spinner 14, and is made of a material with a large frictional force such as rubber, and is rotatable by a shaft 26 protruding from the cover portion 3b of the upper body 3. It is kept in

Reference numeral 27 denotes a sensing lever that extends through the lower body 5 so as to come into contact with the outer periphery of the roller 25, and is urged by an elastic body 28 such as a spring so as to project outward.

Reference numeral 29 denotes a dust box connected to the kitchen waste discharge port 23, and the sensing lever 27 is pushed into the lower body 5 by being connected to the kitchen waste discharge port 23.

This dust box 29 has a handle 30 and a buckle 31.
It can be attached to and detached from the lower part 5 of the main body. In the above configuration, when the motor 10 is rotated, the rotary plate 12 fixed to the motor shaft 11 rotates, and the gear group 17,1
The spinner 14 also rotates via 8 and 19.

In this state, when kitchen waste is thrown into the cylindrical part 3a of the upper body 3 from the drain port 2, the kitchen waste that has fallen onto the rotating plate 12 is repelled by the centrifugal force towards the fixed blade 4, and the rotating blade 13
and the fixed blade 4. Then, this crushed kitchen waste is transferred from the notch T between the fixed blades 4 to the spinner 14.
The water is dispersed inside and is centrifugally dehydrated here. The centrifugally dehydrated kitchen waste is pushed upward by the upward component force generated on the conical surface of the spinner 14 and the brush body 20, and is flicked off from the upper opening edge of the spinner 14 and sent from the kitchen waste discharge port 23 into the dust box 29. automatically ejected.

Next, when disposing of the kitchen waste discharged into this dust box 29, the dust box 29 is removed from the bottom 5 of the main body.
7 protrudes outward by the biasing force of the elastic body 28, the roller 25 in contact with this rotates, and the opening/closing body 22 in contact with this roller 25 further rotates.

As a result, the opening/closing body 22 has an opening 24 which is connected to the kitchen waste discharge port 2.
Shift from 3 and close this. Furthermore, when the dust box 29 is reattached to the lower body 5 after disposing of the kitchen waste inside, the sensing lever 27 is pushed into the lower body 5 due to the attachment of the dust box 29, and the operation is reversed to that described above. Then, the opening 24 of the opening/closing body 22 faces the garbage discharge port 23, opens it, and returns to the normal usage state. As described above, according to the present invention, when the dust box is removed, the opening/closing body closes the kitchen waste discharge port in conjunction with this, so that the kitchen waste remaining inside the main body is not visible from the outside, and the kitchen waste can be disposed of in a hygienic manner. At the same time, it is also possible to reduce the occurrence of bad odors.

In addition, since the garbage outlet is closed by the opening/closing body by the necessary operation of attaching and detaching the dust box, there is no need for any special operation, and it is easy to use, which has great effects.
