Description

[0001] FOOD WASTE RECYCLING CONTAINER [0002]

The present invention relates to a container for separated garbage.

The problem of collecting garbage that comes out in large quantities every day in a population-concentrated metropolis is becoming a serious problem in living a modern life.

In particular, after food is cooked in a kitchen such as a domestic kitchen, food waste such as fruit husks, fish bones, various kinds of garbage such as meat and vegetables is discharged. Food waste is easily decayed because it contains a large amount of water due to its characteristics. Odor is generated, and it is a main cause of generating various insects, which is a problem in that the sanitary condition is not clean.

Recently, as part of the policy to preserve the environment, these food wastes are separated and separated from other general wastes.

Such food garbage is disposed in a food garbage box provided for each household by using a special plastic bag. However, it is disadvantageous in that the plastic bag must be removed separately when the food garbage is collected, and the plastic bag itself becomes another garbage. It is not an effective preventive measure against others throwing away food waste without permission.

In order to reduce the discharge of such food waste, the government introduced an RFID-based food quantity system system that measures the weight of food waste left by the user when the food waste is discharged, To this end, an RFID reader is provided in each food waste collection container, and a user is issued with a card equipped with an RFID.

When food waste is processed according to the food quantity system, it is necessary to reduce the weight of food waste because the cost of food waste increases according to the weight of the food waste. Therefore, it is desirable to separate and remove moisture from food wastes and then treat only food wastes in the food weight system.

To this end, a conventional general garbage collection container is composed of a single container composed of an outer tube and an inner tube which are separable from each other. A bottom of the inner tube is provided with a discharge hole for allowing only moisture contained in food waste, There has been developed a container for collecting the water contained in the food waste, that is, the leachate and the food waste separately, by filtering the food waste and storing only the leachate in the outer tube

Such food wastes collection container must remove the leachate accumulated in the outer casing before disposing food waste. When the leachate is removed, the outer tube and the inner tube are tilted together to leach the leached water stored in the outer tube to the outside. At this time, the leachate is seeped into the food waste in the inner tube or the food waste stored in the inner tube is poured together.

In the upper end of the container body 100, a latch 150 is formed at a predetermined depth so that the end of the lid 300 to be described later can be caught. A fastener 160 is formed on the inner surface of the container body under the stop 150 so that the fastener 260 of the inner cylinder 200 to be described later can be fastened and fixed.

The inner cylinder 200 is formed to have a shape and a size corresponding to each other so as to be inserted into the receiving space S of the container body 100. The tubular body 200 has an upper opening and a receiving space s in which a food waste can be received, and a flange protruding outward is formed at the upper end 230. For discharge of the leachate, a flange is not formed at the upper end of the cylinder shell 230 at a position corresponding to the combined outlet 140. A plurality of drainage holes 240 are formed on the lower surface and / or the bottom surface 220 of the side surface 210 so that water is drained from the food waste contained in the storage space s and the leachate drains to the accommodation space S of the container body 100. [ Is formed. The inner cylinder 200 is provided between the bottom surface 220 of the inner cylinder 200 and the bottom surface 120 of the container body so as to form a space in which water can be stored in the food waste, 120, respectively. An inner cylinder handle 290 is provided at the upper end of the inner cylinder 200 so as to separate the inner cylinder 200 from the container body 100. A stopper 260 is formed at an upper portion of the outer surface of the inner cylinder 200 so as to be fastened between the fasteners 160 of the container body 100. Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 3, the inner cylinder 200 is formed with the inclined portion 270 at the side corresponding to the combined outlet 140. The inclined portion 270 is composed of a first inclined surface 271 and a second inclined surface 272 having different inclination angles. And the second inclined surface 272 formed at the lower portion where the bottom surface 220 is contacted has a more urgent inclination angle. No discharge hole is formed in the inclined portion 270. A space is formed so as not to re-infiltrate the leachate into the inner cylinder 200 at the lower portion of the discharge port 140 where the leachate is collected when the container 1000 is tilted to form the second inclined surface 272. A double concave-convex structure 250 is formed on the inner surface 210 of the inner cylinder 200 so that the end portion 321 of the inner lid 320 of the lid 300 to be described later can be caught and fixed. The double concave-convex structure 250 is preferably made of an elastic material. When the lid is fully opened after discharging the leachate, the structure is difficult to be pulled upward by the user and pulled out from the end, while pushing down the end portion 321 It is a structure and material that is easy to detach from the double concave and convex structure 250 and utilizes the clearance distance in the space between the fully closed state and the partially opened state for discharging the leachate so that the user appropriately tilts toward the front and back of the handle, The lid can be opened so as not to be caught by the end portion when the lid is pulled. The double concave and convex structure 250 is preferably formed on the inner side surface 210 corresponding to the discharge port 140 and on the inner side surface 210 corresponding to the opposite side of the discharge port 140.
