Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a food waste storage, and more specifically, to a food waste storage in which a food waste inlet is provided behind a sink.

[Background technology]

Conventionally, as a method for collecting food waste, as shown in FIG. There is one in which a container 3 for receiving food waste is placed outside the room. Although this system has the advantage that the odor and moisture of food waste does not enter the room and that food waste can be disposed of outdoors, the distance from the person standing in front of the sink 1 to the input port 2 is long. The drawback is that it is difficult to throw in food waste.

[Purpose of invention]

This invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its main purpose is to make it easy to throw in food waste even if the distance from the person standing in front of the sink to the inlet is long. The goal is to

〔composition〕

The food waste storage according to the present invention has an input port opening upwardly at the back of the sink, and a container for receiving food waste discarded from the input port is disposed below the input port. One end of the bellows tube, which can be expanded and retracted, is aligned with and fixed to the input opening, and the other end of the bellows tube is movable between a first position overlapping the input opening and a second position rising toward the front of the sink. A tension spring is provided between both ends of the bellows tube to retract the bellows tube and return it to the first position, and a handle is provided at the movable end of the bellows tube to pull the bellows tube to the second position. It is equipped with a door plate that covers the opening of the bellows tube, and when throwing garbage into the slot provided at the rear of the sink, by pulling the bellows tube toward the front, The input port can be brought closer to the user, making it easier to input food waste. In addition, by providing a handle, it is easy to pull the opening of the bellows body when in use, and by providing a tension spring, the bellows body returns to its original position after putting in food waste so that it does not get in the way. It is something. That is, the handle and the tension spring are provided for the purpose of making the operation easier.

〔Example〕

As shown in FIG. 1, the rear outer wall 11 of the sink 1
A bay window 12 is provided in a protruding manner, and a bottom plate 13 of the bay window 12 is located slightly above the top surface of the sink 1. An input port 2 is formed in the bottom plate 13 of the bay window 12. A guide tube 14 extends below the input port 2.
A container 3 such as a bucket for receiving garbage is arranged below the guide tube 14. The container 3 is housed in a storage box 15 that projects from the outdoor side of the outer wall 11. The storage box 15 is provided with a door 15 that can be opened and closed from the outside, so that the container 3 can be taken in and out from the outside. The input port 2 is provided with a bellows tube 4 as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4. The bellows tube 4 has an elastic bellows body 20, and a mounting frame 21 and a lid frame 22 integrally fixed to both ends of the bellows body 20, respectively. The mounting frame 21 matches the opening of the input port 2 and is fixed to the upper end of the guide cylinder 14 with a fixing member 23 such as a screw. The bellows body 20 has a first position where the lid frame 22 overlaps the mounting frame 21, and a first position where the lid frame 22 overlaps the mounting frame 21.
2 stands up around the front edge of the mounting frame 21 and the central opening of the lid frame 22 faces forward.
It can be expanded and contracted between positions. In the first position, the lid frame 22 overlaps and accommodates the mounting frame 21. A tension spring 5 is provided between the attachment frame 21 and the lid frame 22 to urge both frames 21 and 22 toward the first position. Further, both ends of the handle 6 are rotatably attached to both edges of the upper portion of the lid frame 22 at the second position. This allows the handle 6 to be pulled forward both in the first position and in the second position. The opening of the lid frame 22 is covered by a door plate 7, and the door plate 7 is pivotally attached to the inner surface of the upper edge of the opening in the second position by a spring hinge 24.
The spring hinge 24 biases the door plate 7 in the closing direction, and when the door plate 7 is pushed, it opens inward.

With the above-mentioned configuration, when putting in food waste, if you pull the handle 6 toward you, the lid frame 22 will stand up and the opening of the lid frame 22 will face forward, and as a result,
This makes it easier to throw in food waste. On the other hand, when food waste is not thrown in, the lid frame 22 is returned to the first position overlapping the mounting frame 21 by the tension spring 5, and the bellows tube 4 is folded so as not to be bulky. Further, since the door plate 7 closes automatically, the foul odor and moisture of garbage are blocked and are not needed indoors.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, the present invention has a first position where one end of the bellows tube that can be expanded and contracted matches the input port and is fixed, and a second position where the other end of the bellows tube overlaps the input port, and a second position where the bellows tube rises toward the front of the sink. Since it is movable between positions, when throwing in food waste, the bellows tube can be extended and placed in the second position, thereby pulling the opening for throwing in food waste towards you. It is something. As a result, there is an advantage that food waste can be reliably thrown into the slot even if the distance from the person standing in front of the sink to the slot is somewhat long. Further, since the bellows body is provided with a tension spring that returns the bellows body to the first position, the bellows body has the advantage that it automatically returns to the first position when garbage is not thrown in, and the bellows body does not become bulky. Furthermore, since a handle for pulling the bellows tube to the second position is provided at the movable end of the bellows tube, it is easy to maintain the bellows tube in the second position when putting in food waste, and this end of the bellows body The room is equipped with a door plate that covers the opening, so the bad smell of food waste does not enter the room.
