After food is cooked in the kitchen or dining room of the home, food waste such as fruit skins, fish bones, meat and vegetables, etc. are discharged. Separate discharge is required.

In accordance with these regulations, in order to separate and discharge food waste, a number of schemes and structures are provided for discharging food waste easily and conveniently. For example, Korean Utility Model Model No. 1999-0009121 'Food Sink drainage device equipped with garbage dehydration device is a sink drainage device equipped with a food waste dehydration device that removes water contained in food waste generated during food cooking or after meals and discarded to discard dry food waste. The former relates to a drainage tank having a cylindrical upper and lower body parts and a mesh type dewatering tank having an upper portion and a plurality of holes formed in the edge thereof, and a dehydrating device consisting of a drive motor and a lid for dewatering food waste. . That is, many food wastes are dehydrated by centrifugal force by the rotation of the drive motor and then discharged.

However, since all of these structures must be equipped with a drive motor at the bottom of the sink, the structure is complicated and the manufacturing and sink sales costs are expensive, and the noise is generated by the operation of the drive motor. have.

As an example of the most general food waste separation and discharge structure, the Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0665464 'sink food waste bin' is a food waste bin that combines the function of the strainer and the function of the wastebasket at the position of the strainer that is located at the drain point of the sink. It is proposed that the food waste of the perforated sleeve lifts up the inner cylinder lid to flow into the lower inner cylinder, and also lifts the inner cylinder to discharge the accumulated food waste.

However, when the inner container containing the food waste is separated from the sink, the upwardly discharging structure is, in most cases, provided with a handle that can hold and lift the inner container, which is a semicircle having a diameter almost equal to the inner cylinder diameter. The wires are folded in a fixed manner so that when necessary, that is, when the inner cylinder is lifted, the handle is raised vertically, and when it is not needed, the handle is laid down so that food waste does not get disturbed by the handle when it enters the inner container.

However, when the handle is formed on one side of the inner cylinder, food waste is often caught between the inner cylinder and the handle, in which case the aesthetics are not good, and the discomfort and inconvenience of having to remove the jammed food manually by hand. Cause.

In addition, when the lid is mounted on the top of the inner cylinder, food trapped by the handle generates a gap between the inner cylinder and the lid, and there is a problem that the odor generated from the food waste in the inner cylinder leaks outwards. If the inner container of food waste is large, as is the case with a large sink installed in the kitchen, lifting a heavy inner container full of food waste is not particularly difficult for women.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention devised to solve the above problems, the food waste generated in the cooking chamber can be easily separated and collected with water, but the structure does not need a handle on the top of the container containing food waste At the same time, to provide a fastening structure of the food waste collection container for the sink that can be easily removed and mounted hygienic collection container from the sink by eliminating the phenomenon that food waste is caught or not properly collected.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a fastening structure of a food waste collection container for a sink that can be easily applied to a large sink by removing and remounting the food waste easily and conveniently from the sink even if the food waste collection container is enlarged.
