Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a unit type processing device for processing kitchen waste generated during cooking and after meals.

Conventionally, kitchen waste generated during cooking in ordinary homes is temporarily stored in a drainer placed temporarily in the corner of the sink or in a removable container installed at the bottom of the sink outlet. At present, the kitchen waste is separated and then stored in water-permeable bags and disposed of in a processing plant or in a domestic garbage storage container. However, since the containers used to temporarily store kitchen waste in this method are small, the containers quickly overflow with kitchen waste, emitting a strange odor to the surrounding area, impairing the aesthetics, and requiring frequent disposal of kitchen waste, which is troublesome. It had disadvantages such as being expensive and unhygienic. Furthermore, when a container is placed in a sink, there is a problem in that the size of the container prevents effective use of the inside of the sink.

In view of the current situation, the present invention has been developed to reliably separate kitchen waste into water and non-water kitchen waste inside a sink or cooking table, and to transfer non-water kitchen waste into a large garbage disposal container with just a foot operation from the outside. The purpose of this device is to provide a kitchen waste disposal device that can be automatically stored in the case body. A fixed cage is detachably attached, which faces the opening on the back side, has an open front side and a lower side connected to the front side, and whose back side is an inclined plate with a plurality of holes. The opening is provided with a fixed cage bottom plate that is swingable between a position where the opening is closed and a position where the opening is opened, and the case body covers a lower part of the fixed cage so that the fixed cage bottom plate is in the closed position. a drainage hose that is swingable between an inoperative position and an operating position in which it is separated from the lower part of the fixed cage and in which the fixed cage bottom plate is in an open position, and is located at the lower part of the case body when in the inoperative position; A bucket door having a bottom plate that slopes to the side is provided, a biasing member is provided to keep the bucket door in a normally inactive position, and a foot actuation mechanism is provided at the bottom of the exterior of the case body, and the foot actuation mechanism The bucket belt, which is in the inoperative position, is moved to the activated position against the biasing member by operating the foot pedal.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 indicates a sink having a sink 2 at the top, and inside the lower part of the sink 1 where the sink 2 is located, there is a built-in case body 3 for storing and carrying out the kitchen waste processing apparatus of the present invention. A discharge port 4 is provided through which water and kitchen waste such as food waste flow into the case body 3.

The upper plate 3' located below the drain port 4 is open, and the fixed cage slide 5 is attached to the back surface of the upper plate 3' of the case body 3 so that the opening faces inside. There is. As shown in FIG. 4, this fixed cage slide 5 has a rectangular shape with an opening in the center, and its four upper edges are bent outward horizontally to form a flange, and a screw hole is provided in this flange portion to allow screws to be screwed. It is fixed to the back surface of the upper plate 3' of the case body 3 via. Further, three sides of the fixed cage slide 5 hang downward, and slide portions 6 are formed on two opposing sides, left and right. Both upper edge horizontal portions 7a of the fixed cage 7 can be inserted between the opposing slide portions 6 in the front-rear direction.

As shown in FIG. 4, the fixed basket 7 has an open front face and a lower part connected to the front face, and the back face has an inclined surface 8 for draining water that slopes forward from the upper end to the lower end. This slope 8
A deodorant box 9 is removably attached to the center of the back side of the box. A fixed cage bottom plate 10 having fan-shaped side plates 12 facing each other at both ends is attached to the front edge of the inclined surface 8 so as to be movable up and down via a hinge 11, and is connected to the front surface of the fixed cage 7. The lower surface of the opening can be closed. A roller 13 is rotatably attached to the outer end of the fan-shaped side plate 12.

A cage slide 5 is fixed to the inner surface of both ends of the case body 3 via a short shaft 14 to the back surface of the upper plate 3'.
A bucket 15 that covers the lower part of the fixed cage 7 attached through the cage is rotatably pivoted. This bucket bag 15 is provided with gutter-like rails 16 extending horizontally on the outside of both ends thereof as shown in the fifth figure.

A shaft 17 is rotatably installed in front of the bucket 15 of the case body 3, and this shaft 17
A roller 1 that can roll within the rail 16 is provided at both ends of the rail 16.
The rear end of an arm 19 is fixed, and one end of the shaft 7 extends outside through the side plate of the case body 3, and a wire 20 is attached to the extending end. The rear end of the link 21 to which one end is fixed is fixed, and the other end of the wire 20 is attached to a foot pedal 22 disposed below the outside of the sink 1.
is connected to. Further, a tension spring 23 is tensioned between the center portion of the arm 19 and a part of the case body 3 to hold the bucket 15 horizontally in a normal state.

In addition, 24 is a fixed cage slide 5 for the fixed cage 7.
A fixed cage fixing panel plate 25 is screwed to the fixed cage slide 5 to prevent the fixed cage 7 from being pulled out after being attached to the case body 3. A drainage hose 26 for discharging is a garbage receptacle.

Next, the operation of the kitchen waste processing apparatus with the above configuration will be explained.

First, when the foot pedal 22 is not operated by foot, the arm 19 is in the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 2 by the tension spring 23. Therefore, the bucket 15, which is provided with the rail 16 on which the roller 18 at the tip of the arm 19 is located, is positioned so that the rail 16 is horizontal, that is, in a position that covers the lower part of the fixed cage 7. With the bucket 15 in this position, the fixed car bottom plate 10 having the rollers 13, 13 can roll on the top surface of the bottom plate 15' of the bucket 15.
is the position that closes the lower surface of the opening of the fixed cage 7,
Furthermore, the front opening of the fixed basket 7 is connected to the bucket 15.
It is closed by a part of the bottom plate 15'.

In this state, the drain port 4 of the sink 2
When the kitchen waste is put into the container, the kitchen waste is temporarily located in the fixed basket 7, and the water in the kitchen waste passes through a plurality of holes in the inclined surface 8 and drips onto the bottom plate 15' of the bucket 15. Further, since the bottom plate 15' of the bucket 15 is inclined toward the drain hose 25 as shown, water flows into the drain hose 25 via the bottom plate 15' of the fifteenth embodiment.

When a certain amount of kitchen waste from which water has been removed is stored in the fixed basket 7, the foot pedal 7
When stepped on, the ring 21 rotates together with the shaft 17 through the wire 20. Therefore, the arm 19 whose rear end is fixed to this shaft 17 also rotates together against the tensile force of the tension spring 23, and the second
As shown in the figure, it is in a substantially horizontal state. Further, as the arm 19 rotates, the roller 18 at the tip of the arm 19 cooperates with the rail 16 to rotate the bucket 15 around the short shaft 14 to a position ( Figure 2 (dashed line). Therefore, the roller 13 is placed on the top surface of the bottom plate 15' of the bucket 15.
The fixed cage bottom plate 10, in which the fixed cage bottom plate 13 was positioned to close the bottom surface of the opening of the fixed cage 7, rotates via the hinge 11 due to its own weight and the weight of the kitchen waste from which water has been separated located on the upper surface. The kitchen waste, which is in a substantially vertical state and from which water has been almost completely separated, falls into the kitchen waste receiver 26 due to its own weight. In this case, since the fixed basket bottom plate 10 is substantially vertical, it is possible to prevent falling kitchen waste from scattering toward the drain hose 25 side.

When the foot pedal 7 is released after dropping the kitchen waste without moisture into the kitchen waste receiver 26 as described above, the arm 1 is moved by the tensile force of the tension spring 23.
9 returns to the initial state, and the bucket 15 also becomes a solid line state due to the cooperation between the roller 18 at the tip of the arm 19 and the rail 16. This bucket 1
5, the tip of the bucket 15 in the rotating direction contacts the lower surface of the fixed car bottom plate 10 while rotating, and when a certain state is reached, the roller 1 of the rotating car bottom plate 10 rotates.
3 and 13 roll on the upper surface of the bottom plate 15' of the bucket 15, and when the bucket 15 returns to its initial state, the fixed cage bottom plate 10 also rotates and returns to the position where it closes the lower surface of the opening of the fixed cage 7. do.

After returning to the initial state in this way, it is ready for the next input of kitchen waste.

As mentioned above, the kitchen waste processing device of this invention has the following features:
The fixed basket is removably installed on the back of the top plate of the case body, making it easy to attach and remove the fixed basket.The fixed basket can also be cleaned, so you can always keep the fixed basket clean, where kitchen waste tends to stick. can be retained.

Furthermore, since the bucket installed below the fixed basket has a bottom plate that slopes toward the drain hose located at the bottom of the case body when in the non-operating position,
It is possible to ensure that the waste water that has flowed into the bucket at the same time as kitchen waste flows out to the drain side, and the bucket can be easily and easily rotated by operating a foot pedal installed on the outside of the case body and drained into the bucket. Since the accumulated kitchen waste can be discharged into the kitchen waste receiver provided below, the operation is extremely simple and the kitchen waste can be disposed of without any effort.

Furthermore, since the overall structure is simple,
It is easy to handle and rarely breaks down, making it very useful in practice.
