Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a container opening/closing device in a kitchen waste compression processing machine used in general home kitchens or restaurant cooking areas.

As shown in FIG. 1, the kitchen waste compression processing machine has a receptacle 3 at one lateral end of a kitchen waste receiving section 2 connected to an upright flopper 1.
is opened, the open mouth part of the container 4 is removably fitted into the socket 3, and a pressure plate 5 pressed by a cylinder or the like is provided at the other end.
The kitchen waste placed in the receiving part 2 is transferred into a container 4 by a pressure plate 5 and is compressed within the container 4.

This device is configured so that when the container of the processing machine is fitted into the socket, it is in a locked state, and by releasing the lock, the container can be rotated and opened so that its opening faces upward. A container opening/closing device is sometimes provided, and the container is fitted with the opening part of the container protruding into the receptacle. The device is characterized in that it is supported so that it can rotate so that the opening is at the top when it is removed.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A bracket 7 is fixed to the base 6 of the kitchen waste compression processing machine so as to face both sides of a container 40 fitted into the socket 3, and the bracket 7 is guided. A spindle 1 having a groove 8 and protruding from the container 4
1 is engaged with a guide groove 8, and the guide groove 8 has a circular arc portion 10 that is continuous and curved downward from a straight portion 9 extending in the horizontal direction on the side opposite to the socket 3, When the container 4 is fitted into the socket 3, the support shaft 11 is arranged so as to be present in the straight portion 9 of the guide groove 8.

A handle 12 for holding and releasing the lock is pivotally attached to the broken bracket 7, and the locking piece 13 is fixed to the lower end in an upright state, and the upper end is biased in the direction away from the container 4. When the handle 12 is rotated and the handle 12 and the locking piece 18 overlap in parallel,
The locking piece 13 is arranged so as to be pressed against the container 4 side.

The locking piece 13 has a hole 14 at its upper end, into which a pin 15 protruding from the container 4 is locked.

The pin 15 of the container 4 has a length such that it does not interfere with the bracket 7 when the container 4 is opened or closed and projects outward from the bracket 7.

Further, the upper end surface of the bracket I is formed with a curved line parallel to the guide groove 8 and a stepped portion, and the pin 15 is formed to slide along the curved line.

In the figure, 16 indicates a handle fixed to the container 4, and 17 indicates a sink.

This device has the above structure, and when the container 4 is opened from the socket 3, the nozzle 12 is turned to the opposite side from the socket 3, and the locking piece 13 is opened. Release the pressure.

Due to this release, the locking piece 113 is separated from the container 4 due to the repulsive force, so that the locking relationship with the pin 15 is released.

Therefore, if the container 4 is pulled out from the socket 3 and a force is applied to rotate it around the support shaft 11, the support shaft 11 will move to the straight part 9.
Since it engages with the guide groove 8 having the circular arc portion 10,
The container 4 initially moves laterally and its opening is pulled out from the socket 3, and then rotates and opens with the opening facing upward.

If the bracket 7 is provided with a step as shown in the figure, the pin 15 will come into contact with the step and prevent further rotation.
The container is held facing up.

Next, when closing the container 4, connect the open opening of the container 4 to the socket 3.
If it is rotated so as to fall to the side and pressed toward the socket 3 side, when the support shaft 11 reaches the straight part 9 of the guide groove 8, the opening of the container 4 and the socket 3 will face parallelly. , hereafter container 4
It is attached to the socket 3 by pressing it laterally.

Next, when the locking handle 12 is rotated to stand up, the locking piece 13 is pressed toward the container 4 by the handle 12, and at the same time engages with the pin 15, preventing the container 4 from coming out from the socket 3. It is blocked and maintains the fitted state.

As described above, the container opening/closing device according to this invention supports the container in the guide groove provided on the bracket, and the guide groove is formed of a straight part and a circular arc part, so that when the container is inserted into and removed from the socket, Since the opening of the container and the socket are parallel and facing each other, there is no deviation in the adhesion between the opening rim and the opening rim, resulting in an extremely good condition, which prevents moisture from leaking from this close contact area. There is no odor leakage, and the opening/closing device is suitable for the nature of the kitchen waste compression processing machine.

In addition, when the container is opened, it is completely separated from the opening and becomes independent, so the opening of the container is completely exposed without being obstructed by anything, and the kitchen waste stored there can be seen. This allows for easy removal and loading of plastic bags, etc.

Furthermore, by rotating the locking hasdle, the locking piece is reliably engaged and disengaged from the pin of the container, and handling becomes extremely easy. The closed state is maintained reliably without the risk of it being opened.
