Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an automatic drainer/discharge type kitchen waste disposal machine that is attached to the bottom of a kitchen sink.

Background of the Invention Page 2 The configuration that has already been proposed for this type of kitchen waste processing machine is explained with reference to Fig. 6.0 Fig. 6 is a side view of a conventional kitchen waste processing machine, where 1 is the main body and 2 is the kitchen waste inlet. It is. The main body 1 is installed at the bottom of the sink 3, and has a kitchen waste conveying device inside and a discharge port 4 diagonally upward.

5 is a lid for opening and closing the discharge port 4, which is attached to the main body 1 by a hinge 6;
It is installed in such a way that it can be opened and closed freely. 7 is a geared motor provided on the side surface of the discharge port 4, 8 is a disc attached to the rotating shaft of the geared motor 7, and 9 is a connecting rod. The lid 5 is connected to a disk 8 by a connecting rod 9, and is opened and closed by rotation of the disk. 1o is a kitchen waste storage box, and 11 is a drain pipe.

Its operation is as follows. After storing the kitchen waste thrown into the main body 1, when the operating switch is turned on, the geared motor 7 rotates and the lid 6 opens, and then the kitchen waste is sent to the kitchen waste storage box 1o by the kitchen waste transport device inside the main body 1. After the kitchen waste is discharged, the geared motor 7 rotates again and the lid 5 closes.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, the lid opening/closing device using a geared motor engages one side of the lid to open and close the lid, so a uniform force is not applied to the lid, and the lid does not discharge properly. It is not possible to seal the exit. Therefore, if a large amount of water is stored in the sink 3 and drained all at once, the diameter of the drain pipe 11 is small.
Water sometimes overflowed from this outlet. In order to prevent this from happening, a conventional lid opening/closing device is engaged on both sides of the lid to seal the discharge port, which requires a large and powerful geared motor as the lid is pulled through the connecting culm. However, there was a problem in that the lid opening/closing device was also large.

The present invention solves these conventional problems and provides a kitchen waste disposal machine that does not require a galvanized motor as powerful as the conventional one and can seal the discharge port with a small lid opening/closing device. be.

Means for solving the problem In order to solve this problem, the present invention has a wire winding device attached to one side of the main body equipped with a lid for opening and closing the kitchen waste outlet, and a wire winding device attached to the opposite side of the main body. and a guide device provided on the lid, and the wire of the wire winding device is fixed to the spring attached to the side surface of the main body via the guide device provided on the lid. It has a high degree of airtightness.

Function: With this configuration, twice the force applied to the wire acts on the lid using the principle of a pulley, and the discharge port can be sealed using a small geared motor or a small device. Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 5. In FIGS. 1 and 2, 12 is the main body of the kitchen waste processing machine, 13 is a sink, 14 is a kitchen waste inlet, and 15 is a lid for opening and closing the outlet 16.

As shown in FIG. 3, the lid 15 is attached to the main body 1 by a hinge 17, and the protrusion 19 on the outer periphery of the discharge port 16 presses against the gasket 18 provided on the lid 15.
6 is sealed. A wire winding device consisting of a geared motor 2° is attached to one side of the main body 12, and a coil spring 21 is attached to the opposite side. The wire hoisting device is operated by a geared motor 20 as shown in Figure 4.
It consists of a pulley 22 attached to the output shaft of the pulley 22, an open ring 23 attached so as to hug the outer periphery of the pulley 22, and a wire 24 wound around the pulley 22. As shown in Figure 5, it passes through guide devices provided at both ends of the lid 15 and is fixed to a coil spring 21 attached to one side of the main body 12.The guide device is
The guide pulley 25 and the bearing are made up of a stand 26 and a cover 27, and serve as a pulley for the wire 24.

Next, as shown in FIG.
A microswitch 28, 29 for detecting the open/closed state of the coil spring 21 and a microswitch 30 for detecting the extension of the coil spring 21 are installed.

The microswitches 28 and 29 are activated by contact with a rod 32 provided on the fan-shaped side plate 31 of the lid 15. Further, one end of the fan-shaped side plate 31 and the vicinity of the lower end of the discharge port 16 of the main body 12 are connected by a lid opening coil spring 33, and the lid 15 is biased in the opening direction by the lid opening coil spring 33. 34 is a kitchen waste storage box, and 35 is a water pipe with 6 bays.

be.

The above is the configuration of the present invention, and its operation will be explained next.

Kitchen waste such as food scraps from cooking and leftovers from washing dishes is stored in main unit 1.
It is stored and drained within 2 hours. When the operation switch is turned on, the geared motor 2o rotates in reverse and the wire 24 becomes loose.
The lid 15 is opened by the force of the lid opening coil spring 33, and when the lid 15 is opened to the set angle, the rod 32 contacts the microswitch 28, the lid opening detection signal enters the control circuit (not shown), and the geared motor 2o is stopped. Then, the kitchen waste transfer device inside the main body is driven for a certain period of time to send out the kitchen waste left in the main body to the kitchen waste storage box 34. Next, the geared motor 2o rotates forward and the pulley 2
2 winds up the wire 24 and the lid 15 is closed. When the rod 32 comes into contact with the microswitch 29 and the coil spring 21 further extends to the set length, that is, reaches the set springing force, applying sufficient force to the lid 15 and operating the microswitch 3Q, a signal is sent to the control circuit. The input signal stops the geared motor 20 and the operation ends. In this way, the lid 15
However, according to configuration 7 of the present invention <--/, the lid 15 seals the outlet 16 with twice the force of the coil spring 21 based on the pulley principle, and the wire winding A geared motor of the device with an output slightly higher than the springing force of the coil spring 21 will be sufficient to cope with the problem.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention has a structure in which the wire of the wire winding device is fixed to the spring via the guide device provided on the lid, so that the wire winding force is doubled by the principle of a pulley. This force acts uniformly on the lid, sealing the discharge port, and making it possible to downsize the geared motor and the lid opening/closing device.
