Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application The present invention relates to a kitchen waste storage box installed in a home kitchen.6 Structure of the conventional example and its problems This type of kitchen waste storage box is linked to a foot pedal. Kitchen waste storage boxes with lids are common, but other methods include storing kitchen waste directly in an inner container inside the main body, or placing an additional bag in the inner container and storing kitchen waste in the bag. . If you store kitchen waste directly in the inner container, you must transfer it to a bag when disposing of it for garbage collection, and if you store it in a bag inside the inner container, you must seal the bag. It is dirty work. There are also kitchen waste storage boxes that store kitchen waste in polyethylene bags and heat seal the opening of the bag.
However, because the bag openings are simply aligned and heat sealed over a distance equal to the width of the bag, the heat sealing device tends to be large.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves these conventional problems and provides a kitchen waste storage box with improved performance.

Structure of the Invention The kitchen waste storage box of the present invention includes an installation base having a heat sealing device, a box body installed on the installation base, a resin bag detachably set in the box body, and an opening of the resin bag. This is a kitchen waste storage box that is equipped with a bag opening/closing device that can fold the plastic bag, and a seal control device that operates the heat sealing device when the plastic bag is folded by the bag opening/closing device. After storing the bag, the bag can be heat sealed with the opening closed, and the user does not have to get his/her hands dirty when taking out kitchen waste, and the heat sealing device is also simple and compact.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 4, 1 is an installation base, and 2 is a box installed on the installation base 1.

A bag opening/closing switch 3-a and a seal switch 3-b are provided in a part of the installation stand 1. 4-a.

4-b is a pair of gears having teeth cut only at the portions necessary for engagement, and is attached to a vertical wall within the installation stand 1 in an engaged state. Gear 4-a.

Arms s-a and 5-b are attached to arms 4-b, respectively, and the tips of arms 5-a and 6-b are bent into a dogleg shape, and heater wires 6- are coated with a heat-resistant insulating material. 2L and 6-b are solenoids that drive the connecting rods. One end of the connecting rod 7 is the gear 4-2.
L and the other end are connected to the plunger of solenoid 8.

Reference numeral 9 indicates a pin set up on a part of the gear 4-IL, 10 indicates a microswitch operated by the pin 9, and a seal that operates the heat sealing device using the seal switch 3-b1 solenoid 8, microswitch 10, etc. It constitutes a control device. 11 is a transformer. Reference numeral 12 is a tension spring that biases the gear 4-b in the clockwise rotation direction. Reference numeral 13 denotes a bifurcated push rod located on both sides of the box body 2, and the tip of the bifurcated rod is approximately U-shaped. The push rod 13 is connected to a solenoid 14 and supported by a guide 15. Reference numeral 16 designates a pair of bag fixing devices, one of which is attached to the upper end of the box body 2, and the other is attached to the moving table 17.The pair of bag fixing devices 16 are biased by a compression spring 18.The box body 2 Bag fixing tool 1 at the top of
A cutout 19 is provided below where the arms 5-a and ei-b are attached, through which the tips of the arms 5-a and ei-b can pass.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a pair of support arms, one end of which is rotatably attached to the lower side walls of the box body 2, and is always biased toward the left in FIG. 3 by a rotation spring 21. It is being The other end of the support arm 20 is fixed to both ends of the moving table 17. Moreover, a part of the support arm 2o is bent into a hook shape so as to avoid the notch 19 when the support arm 2o moves to the left. This support arm 2o constitutes a bag opening/closing device capable of deflating the opening of the resin bag 23. 22 is a handle of the box body 2. 23 is a resin bag made of polyethylene or the like that is set inside the box 2 and whose opening edge is held by the bag fixing tool 16. 24 is a hook, 26 is a hook, and 26 is a box stopper. It is set on installation stand 1.

FIG. 6 is a control circuit of the present invention. Bag open/close switch 3-
When a is put in the 2 side, the solenoid 14 is activated and the support arm 20 is pushed back by the push rod 13, so the fixture 16
The mouth of the resin bag 23, which is fastened with the button, opens, and at this time, kitchen waste is thrown into the bag 23. When heat sealing the opening of the resin bag 23 full of kitchen waste, turn on the sealing switch 3-b with the bag opening/closing switch 3-IL turned off to the 1 side, and the solenoid 14 will be de-energized and the support arm 20
moves to the dotted line position in FIG. At the same time, the solenoid 8 is activated, and the tips of the arms 5-a and 5-b open the opening of the resin bag 23, which has been pushed to one side by the movement of the support arm 2o, that is, the resin bag 18 in the deflated state. to hold. At the same time, the pin 9 comes into contact and the micro switch 1o is turned on, applying a voltage of about 10V to the heater wire 6-"1e-b via the transformer 11, and the resin bag 23 is heated by the heat of the heater wires e-a and s-b. The opening is heat sealed.

The configuration of the present invention has been described above, and the operation will be explained next. First, the opening end of the resin bag 23 is fixed with a pair of fixtures 1.
Stop it with spring pressure at 6 and set it inside the box body 2. Next, when placing the box body 2 on the installation stand 1, use the locking hook 2 of the box body 2.
4 and the receiver of the installation stand 1 engage the hook 25, and at the same time, the box body 2 is fixed on the installation stand 1 so that the lower end of the box body 2 hits the box stopper 26 of the installation stand 1. The operation of putting kitchen waste into the resin bag 23 and the operation of heat sealing the opening of the resin bag 23 are performed using the bag opening/closing switch 3-& and the sealing switch 3-, as described in the explanation of the control circuit in FIG. All that is required is to insert and cut the money. FIG. 6 shows the state of the resin bag 23, and at this time a person throws in kitchen waste with the opening held open by the fixture 16. B is in a state where kitchen waste is stored and the opening is closed, so the odor is blocked.

C is a state in which the opening is heat sealed. After heat-sealing the opening of the resin bag 23, remove the hook 2 from the fixture 16.
4 and the receiver disengage the hook 26, separate the box body 2 from the installation stand 1, and take out the resin bag 23 containing the kitchen waste.

Note that the above-mentioned embodiment is just an example, and it is clear that various specific configurations can be considered other than the embodiment, and the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

Effects of the Invention As described above, in the kitchen waste storage box of the present invention, it is easy to set the resin bag, and after storing kitchen waste, the opening of the resin bag can be easily heat-sealed, and there is no need to get your hands dirty when taking out the kitchen waste. . Also,
Heat sealing can be done by closing the opening of the bag, the sealing distance is short, and the heat sealing device can be made simpler and smaller than before.

The kitchen waste storage box of the present invention is not only used as a conventional kitchen waste storage tool, but can also be used in combination with a kitchen waste dehydrator to form a kitchen waste processing device for even more effective kitchen waste disposal.
