Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION The present invention relates to a garbage dehydrator installed in a household kitchen sink.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, kitchen waste disposal devices include a food waste basket that is attached to the drain of a sink, and a triangular corner that is installed in a part of the corner of the sink. The food waste basket and triangular corner simply collect food waste and drain it naturally, and dehydration is insufficient.

Problems that the invention aims to solve: These conventional garbage disposal devices do not dehydrate adequately;
When garbage is transferred to bags or other garbage containers, drips drip down and stain the floor, making it unsanitary.

Additionally, there is a problem in that food waste tends to adhere to and remain on the inner wall surface of the food waste disposal device.

The present invention solves these conventional problems,
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a food waste dehydrator which dehydrates and discharges food waste and prevents food waste from remaining after the discharge.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above objects, the food waste dehydrator of the present invention is: - A food waste dehydrator that has a bottom plate that is movable only in the vertical direction within a container-shaped main body provided at the drain outlet of a sink. A storage basket is rotatably provided, and a rotary knob is provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate of the rotary blade, and a rotary knob is provided on the lower surface of the rotary blade that is freely engageable and detachable from the bottom plate and communicates with the rotary blade, and the rotary knob is connected to a rotary knob that is a rotational drive source. It is connected to the device in a detachable manner.

Effect: With the above configuration, the food waste stored in the food waste storage frame is rotated and centrifugally dehydrated before the food waste stored in the food waste storage frame is taken out, so that no drips occur when the food waste storage amount is taken out. -1. When transferring food waste to a bag or other container, turn the rotary knob by hand and the rotating blades on the top of the bottom plate will rotate and scrape off the food waste that has reached the top of the bottom plate. Then, when you push the top of the garbage storage frame into a bag or container and push the bottom plate, the garbage will be pushed out, and any garbage that has reached the inner wall of the garbage storage frame will be scraped off by the bottom plate, so it will not remain on the inner wall. do not have.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes the main body of the garbage dehydrator, which is in the shape of a container, and is attached by means of a nut 2 whose upper opening edge is bent over the drain port of a sink 3. 4 is a gasket for sealing. A base plate 5 is attached to the outer bottom surface of the main body 1,
A rotating shaft 6 and a motor 7 constituting a drive device, which is a rotational drive source, are installed on the base 5. The rotating shaft 6 is driven by a motor 7 via pulleys 8 and 9 and a belt 10. The rotating shaft 6 protrudes into the main body 1 from the bottom of the main body 1. 11
is a seal ring. Inside the main body 1, a garbage storage frame 12 having a bottom plate 13 that is movable only in the vertical direction is rotatably provided.

As shown in FIG. 2, a small hole 14 is provided in the bottom plate 13, and a slit 15 is provided in the side surface of the garbage storage frame 12. 16 is a foldable handle of the garbage storage frame 12.

At the outer peripheral end of the bottom plate 13, there is a small plate-like piece 17 with a protrusion at the tip.
is formed, and when the bottom plate 13 is moved within the garbage storage section 12, it engages with a hole 18 provided in the wall surface. Broken bottom plate 13
A guide 20 provided on the inner wall of the garbage storage frame 12 is fitted into a notch 19 provided on the outer periphery of the storage frame 12, so that the guide 20 is movable only in the vertical direction. 21 is a stopper that prevents the bottom plate 13 from coming off when pushed up. A rotating blade 22 is provided on the lower surface of the bottom plate 13, and a rotating blade 23 is provided on the upper surface, and both are connected. The rotary knob 22 is rotatably held within a cylinder 24 of the bottom plate 13, and the tip of a ring-shaped spring plate 26 provided on the rotary knob 22 can be freely engaged and detached from the saw-shaped teeth 25 provided on the end surface of the cylinder 24. mesh together. 27 is a rotating knob 22 for rotating the rotating blade 23.
The screw 28 used to fix it is a washer. The tip of the rotary shaft 6 is removably fitted into the center hole 29 of the rotary knob 22 and connected thereto, and rotational force is transmitted to the rotary knob 22. A lid 3o is detachably provided at the upper end of the main body 1 to cover the opening. 30-a is a knob portion of the lid 30;
1 is a magnet provided in a part of the lid 3o. A beam 32 is provided on the back surface of the sink 3 facing the magnet 31. 33 is a drain pipe connected to the bottom of the main body 1.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained. Food scraps produced during cooking and leftovers produced when cleaning up after a meal are flushed away with water and stored in a storage frame 12.

When taking out food waste, when the lid 30 is placed over the top of the main body 1 and the magnet 31 and reed switch 32 face each other, the motor 7 rotates and the garbage is removed via the rotating shaft 6, rotating knob 22 and bottom plate 13. The garbage storage frame 12 also rotates, and the garbage accumulated therein is centrifugally dehydrated. The rotation speed of the garbage storage frame 12 should be within a range that does not cause too much vibration due to unbalance, but according to experiments, it is 500 to 700 RPM.
is the limit. The upper outer periphery of the garbage storage frame 12 is the main body 1
Although it rotates while contacting the inner wall surface of the upper end, vibration can be suppressed by reducing the gap between the upper end outer circumference and the inner wall surface. In the embodiment of the present invention, the control circuit controls the motor 7.
stops rotating after a certain period of time (for example, 30 seconds). Next, remove the lid 3° and take out the garbage storage frame 12 by holding the foldable handle 16. In this case, the rotary shaft 6 and the rotary shredder 22 are disconnected, so that the garbage storage frame 12 can be easily taken out. When transferring the food waste in the food waste storage frame 12 to a bag or to another garbage container, insert the food waste storage amount 12 upside down into the mouth of the bag or the mouth of the garbage container, and then insert the food waste storage frame 12 into the bottom plate. 13 is pushed against the plate-like small piece 17 to push out the garbage. At this time, when rotating the rotary knob 22 with your fingers in the opposite direction several times during dehydration, the bottom plate 1
3. Garbage adhering to the surface is scraped off by the rotating blades 23 and can be easily removed.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention is capable of sufficiently dehydrating food waste by rotating the food waste storage basket, and is hygienic since no dripping occurs when transferring it to a bag or other container. By pushing the bottom plate in, the garbage can be discharged without remaining on the bottom plate or the inner wall surface of the garbage storage basket, thereby solving the conventional problems.
