Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Field of Industrial Application" The present invention relates to an apparatus for processing kitchen waste such as cooking residue generated in home kitchens, commercial kitchens, and the like.

``Conventional technology'' The method for disposing of kitchen waste in general houses and high-rise housing is that each resident bags the kitchen waste generated in the kitchen or cooking area and carries it to a garbage disposal point, and the bagged kitchen waste is disposed of in a public place. A common method is for a collection agency to collect and incinerate on a predetermined day.

However, in high-rise residential buildings where the garbage disposal point and residential area are far apart, there is a problem in that the work of transporting garbage to the garbage collection and delivery gate places an extremely heavy burden on the residents. .

Therefore, the inventors of the present invention first installed a vertical pipe that penetrates each floor of a building and extends it laterally at the lower end of the vertical pipe in order to solve the problem of transporting garbage in high-rise residential buildings. We are proposing a system that connects pneumatic transport pipes and connects the pneumatic transport pipes to waste disposal points, thereby automatically transporting garbage containers from each floor of a building to the waste disposal points.

``Problems to be Solved by the Invention'' By the way, in order to dispose of kitchen waste generated in the kitchen etc. into the above-mentioned garbage container, the kitchen waste is manually taken out from the kitchen waste receptacle provided in the drainage part of the sink, and then the kitchen waste is removed from the kitchen waste container installed indoors. It is necessary to put the waste into a garbage container, but this work is extremely tedious for residents because it leaves their hands dirty.

In addition, since kitchen waste contains a large amount of water, when a large amount of kitchen waste is stored in the garbage container, the weight of the garbage container itself increases. There is a problem in that the load acting on the transport mechanism of the system increases.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to throw kitchen waste into a garbage container without bothering the residents, and also to remove moisture from the kitchen waste before throwing it into the garbage container. An object of the present invention is to provide a kitchen waste processing device that can reduce the burden on a waste container transport system.

"Means for Solving the Problems" In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an inner cylinder which is vertically rotatable and is connected to a drain pipe below the drain hole of the sink of the sink. The cylinder is equipped with an extrusion mechanism for pushing out the kitchen waste put into the inner cylinder, and a garbage container is installed on the side of the storage cylinder below the opening of the inclined inner cylinder.

``Operation'' The kitchen waste in the inner cylinder can be compressed and dehydrated using the presser plate attached to the drain hole and the extrusion mechanism. Further, by rotating the inner cylinder to move the opening of the inner cylinder above the garbage container and operating the pushing mechanism, the kitchen waste can be pushed out of the opening of the inner cylinder and thrown into the garbage container.

The garbage container K can be rotated together with the garbage container and taken out from the outside of the cabinet. Note that the support frame 32 is provided with a means for detecting the weight of the garbage container, such as a load cell, so that the amount of garbage put into the garbage container K can be confirmed by this detecting means.

Further, inside the cabinet above the garbage container, a closing plate 36 is supported so as to be able to rotate up and down and comes into contact with the guide plate 31 when the storage tube 4 is vertically erected. A rotation mechanism (path shown) is attached to rotate the plate 36 up and down. On the other hand, a drainage branch pipe 40 connected to the drain pipe 18 is connected to the bottom of the auxiliary water receiver 30, as shown in FIG.
The water can be discharged to a drain pipe 18 through the drain pipe 18.

By the way, a detection plate 41 is fixed to the outer surface of the storage tube 4 as shown in FIG.
It is connected to the control circuit of 4 and installed at the required position of the sink.
By adjusting the operation of the motor 24 by the action of the switches 42 and 43, the storage cylinder 4 can be placed vertically as shown in FIG. 4 and as shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, it is possible to control the movement so that it is tilted at 45 degrees.

Furthermore, a first cover 45 and a second cover 46 are attached to the lower side of the drain hole 2 of the sink I. Menki 1st
The cover 45 is designed to cover the top opening of the auxiliary water tray 30 when the storage tube 4 is in the upright state shown in FIG. The second cover 46 is formed in an arcuate plate shape so as not to obstruct the movement of the guide plate 31 when the storage cylinder 4 rotates. Note that, as shown in FIG.
A through hole (path shown) communicating with the opening is formed.

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

Normally, while the sink 1 is being used, the press plate 27 is removed from the drain hole 2 and the rubber cover 28 shown in FIG. 4 is attached. In this state, water in the sink 1 flows down through the rubber cover 28 from the drain hole 2 to the inner cylinder 5, flows out into the drain pipe 18 via the inner rR5 and the drain hole 17 of the partition plate 7, and is drained.

On the other hand, the kitchen waste T that has fallen into the drain hole 2 falls into the inner cylinder 5 and is stored therein. Once a predetermined amount of kitchen waste T has been stored inside the inner cylinder 5, the holding plate 27 is attached to the drain hole 2 as shown in FIG. 1, and the motor 12 is operated to move the compression plate 8 as shown in FIG. It is raised as shown by the two-dot chain line, and the kitchen waste T is pressed by the holding plate 27 and the compression plate 8 to dehydrate it.

When the dewatering operation is completed, the holding plate 27 is removed, the motor 24 is activated, and the storage cylinder 4 is rotated by the motor 24 using the rotary joint 19 and the support bearing 22 as fulcrums.
The storage tube 4 is tilted at 45 degrees as shown in Fig. 5, and the guide plate 3! into the opening in the waste container. In addition, the storage tube 4
With the rotation, the upper end of the storage tube 4 and the guide plate 31 move while coming into contact with the second cover 46.

Once the storage cylinder 4 is tilted by 45 degrees, the motor 12 is operated to raise the compression plate 8, and the inner cylinder 4 is tilted as shown in FIG.
The kitchen waste T inside is pushed out through the opening of the inner cylinder 4 and the through hole of the second cover 46, and thrown into the garbage container.

When the kitchen waste loading operation is completed, the motor 24 is operated again to raise the storage tube 4 to the state shown in FIG. 4. Note that when the storage cylinder 4 is placed in the upright state after the kitchen waste T is put into the garbage container K, the closing plate 36 rotates upward and the tip of the closing plate 36 is connected to the end of the guide plate 3 and the second cover 46. The closing plate 36 comes into contact with the end portion and prevents the bad odor emitted from the garbage container K from dispersing toward the drain hole 2 side.

Every time a predetermined amount of kitchen waste T is stored in the inner cylinder 4, the above operation is performed to throw the kitchen waste T into the garbage container K. And support frame 3
When it is confirmed that the garbage container K is sufficiently filled with kitchen waste T based on the value indicated by the weight detection means attached to 2, the user depresses the pedal 35 to expose the garbage container K, and then takes it out and places it in the garbage container K. Open the lid and discard the garbage container K. In addition, when disposing of garbage containers, if the garbage container transportation system previously proposed by the inventors of the present application is used to transport the garbage to the garbage disposal site, there is no need for transportation and the disposal work can be done easily. can. When the garbage container K is transported by the transportation system, the water content of the kitchen waste T inside the garbage container has been removed in advance (and the weight of the garbage container can be reduced compared to the conventional method). The load acting on the transport system can also be reduced.

If the above operations are performed and the kitchen waste T is disposed of in the garbage container K, the residents can dispose of the kitchen waste T without getting their hands dirty.

In addition, in the device of the surface-marked embodiment, the storage tube 4 is rotated at 45 degrees.
Although the structure is such that the kitchen waste T is pushed out by the push-out mechanism when it is tilted, it is free to have a structure that allows the kitchen waste T to be pushed out at an angle other than 45°.

"Effects of the Invention" As explained above, the present invention allows kitchen waste to be stored in the inner cylinder that is vertically rotatably provided below the drain hole of the sink.
The stored kitchen waste can be pushed out into the garbage container by the pushing mechanism after tilting the inner cylinder attached to the drainage hole and moving the opening of the inner cylinder above the opening of the garbage container.

Therefore, residents can dispose of kitchen waste without getting their hands dirty. In addition, since kitchen waste disposed of in a garbage container is compressed and dehydrated in advance, even if a large amount of kitchen waste is disposed of in a garbage container, the amount of waste in the garbage container will be smaller than when disposing of kitchen waste that contains a large amount of water. This has the effect of reducing the weight increase and making it easier to transport the garbage container.
