Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] This invention relates to a sink used in the kitchens of homes, restaurants, hotels, inns, and the like.

More specifically, the present invention relates to a sanitary sink equipped with a kitchen waste disposal means that removes moisture from kitchen waste and facilitates its handling.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, as a device of this kind, there is a device equipped with a kitchen waste processing device in the drainage section of a sink that crushes kitchen waste and then dehydrates it using a centrifuge.
However, the centrifuge screen was clogged with rice grains, etc., and the processing operation had to be frequently interrupted, so it was not put into practical use. had not been reached.

Therefore, in Japan, kitchen waste is generally stored in a porous container placed in a corner of the sink, drained, and then stored in a plastic container at each location until garbage collection is carried out by local governments. However, during this period, there were hygienic problems such as the generation of bad odors, and the high moisture content of kitchen waste made it inconvenient to handle, and the final waste, including transportation costs and incineration, was There was also the problem of high disposal costs.

[Summary of the invention]

This invention was made to solve the above problems, and includes a microwave oscillator, an oven that houses kitchen waste and confines the microwaves from the oscillator, and a microwave oven that guides moisture generated from the kitchen waste inside the oven to the outside. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sink that can heat all of the kitchen waste from the inside by the microwave and remove moisture contained in the kitchen waste by being equipped with a drain pipe. The first example will be explained based on the figures.
The figure is a conceptual diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, (1) is the bottom of the sink, (2) is the microwave oscillator (3)
), (4) is the lid,
(5) is a kitchen waste inlet, (6) is a container housed in the oven (2) to put kitchen waste, (7) is a table on which this container (6) is placed, (8) is a kitchen waste outlet, (9) is a Kitchen waste outlet (
8) Door, (9a) is its handle, α1 is the drain pipe for draining kitchen waste, aυ is the sink drain, α2
The flow.

This is a drainage pipe.

Next, the operation will be explained. Every time kitchen waste is generated, close the lid (
4), put kitchen waste into the container (6) from the kitchen waste inlet (5), and store a predetermined amount of kitchen waste in the container (6). During this time, the water adhering to the kitchen waste becomes a drain and is discharged from the drain pipe section into the drain pipe system. A predetermined amount of kitchen waste is placed in a container (
6) Once the waste has been drained sufficiently, remove the lid (
After confirming that 4) and the door (9) are closed, electricity is passed through the microphone D-wave oscillator (3) to generate microwaves to start drying the kitchen waste.

The kitchen waste is heated from the inside by microwaves, and water vapor is successively produced from the adhering water remaining on the surface of the kitchen waste and the water contained inside the kitchen waste. This water vapor fills the inside of the microwave oven (2) and pushes out the air that was there at the beginning through the drain pipe section and into the drain pipe (I section).Then, the water vapor flows into the drain pipe section and further into the drain pipe tJ3. This is where it condenses and becomes water.

The drying process progresses in this way, but when the moisture content of the kitchen waste is sufficiently reduced and the amount of steam generated from the kitchen waste decreases, the temperature of the kitchen waste begins to rise significantly, so the power to the microwave oscillator (3) is stopped. After the temperature of the kitchen waste has been sufficiently lowered, the door (9) of the kitchen waste outlet (8) is opened and the dried kitchen waste is taken out from the microwave oven (2) together with the container (6). The dried kitchen waste thus obtained is sufficiently dehydrated and its weight is significantly reduced, and no foul odor is observed even when left as is, making it easy to handle and hygienic.

FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing another embodiment of the invention. In the figure, t2O is a kitchen waste input/output port for inputting and removing kitchen waste, 4 is a condenser for condensing water vapor, @ is an antenna for the microwave oscillator + 31, and cM
I is a waveguide that transmits microwaves, (C) is a coupling window that introduces microwaves into microwave oven (2),
Kan is a star fan for uniformly dispersing microwaves, @Hiro is a motor that rotates the star fan, and @ is a motor that rotates the table (7) completely.

Next, we will explain the operation focusing on the differences from Figure 1.The microwave oscillated from the antenna (c) is transferred to the waveguide
and is introduced into the microwave of/(2) via the coupling window (c). At this time, the motor (2) turns the stirrer fan (c) and the microwave is transferred to the microwave oven (2).
Distribute evenly inside. Further, the table (7) is rotated by the motor (2) to uniformly heat the kitchen waste in the container (6). The water vapor that enters the drain pipe α1 one after another is condensed into water in the condenser @. Therefore, the water vapor is discharged smoothly, and the pressure inside the drain pipe aQ and the drain pipe 1a hardly increases. Therefore, no steam is spewed out or kitchen waste odors leak out. In addition, the drain pipe (
Since the temperature of lδ also does not rise, a pipe made of vinyl chloride can be used. In addition, this embodiment is convenient because the kitchen waste can be loaded and taken out from one opening, that is, the kitchen garbage input/output port 01). Since the required number of preventive measures, in other words, the number of potentially dangerous locations, is reduced by one, economy and safety are improved.

In addition, in order to prevent microwaves from leaking from the drain pipe (II), a metal pipe with dimensions that cut off the microwaves should be used as the drain pipe αQ.

Alternatively, connect a plastic drain pipe via gold copper or the like.

Also, the material of the container (6) used in the present invention is as follows.

Materials that do not absorb microwaves, such as porcelain and high-melting-point glass, are preferred, particularly porous materials such as unglazed ceramics. Also, a drain hole is made in the bottom of the container (6).

There are no particular restrictions on the type of condenser (2); it is air-cooled.

Either water-cooled type may be used.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention includes a microwave oscillator, an oven that accommodates kitchen waste and confines the microwave from the oscillator, and a drain pipe that guides moisture generated from the kitchen waste in the oven to the outside. This has the effect of providing a hygienic and practical sink that can remove water contained in the kitchen waste by heating the kitchen waste from the inside using the microwave.
