Description

Food waste separation container for sink mounting

The present invention has functions of dehydration and odor prevention in order to separate and collect food waste generated at home hygienically and conveniently, and can be installed in the corner of the sink, and without using a volume-by-volume bag for separate collection of food waste or without using a volume-based waste bag It relates to a food waste separation container that can be used in both cases in which the garbage in the container is directly thrown into a common food waste container.

Food waste generated in general households has to be disposed of separately from general waste according to the volume-based food waste system implemented nationwide, so food waste that occurs frequently is stored separately. There has been continuous development of food waste separation containers according to the convenience and convenience of use.

In the early days, separate collection containers were simply airtight containers to store food waste, but food waste that needs to be collected separately contains a lot of moisture and organic matter. In addition to the dehydration function, a container equipped with a function to prevent odor has appeared.

The current separate collection container is largely composed of an inner container for food waste, and an outer container and cover with the function of storing and draining wastewater dehydrated from food waste. A number of small holes are placed at the bottom to prevent the odor from leaking out, and part or all of it is inserted into the outer container.

When the container is full and dispose of it, depending on the local government, one of two methods is to be followed, either directly discharging to the resident's common food waste collection container, or by putting it in a volume-based waste disposal bag and discharging it together with the bag. In most cases, when discharging directly without using a volume-rate bag, the inner container is separated from the outer container and then the contents of the inner container are discharged. There is no consideration of the structure.

In the case of an invention for a device for installing a food waste separation container inside a sink, there are many parts, and an adsorber is used to fix the position of the container and support its weight. It has the disadvantage of taking up too much space in the

Existing food waste separation containers have multiple waste water outlets installed at the bottom of the inner container so that moisture from the food waste collected in the inner container is discharged to the outer container. And when food waste is thrown on it, sewage is not discharged or it takes a lot of time to dispose of it. In order to solve this problem, a food waste separation container having two inner containers, such as a container for primarily removing moisture and a secondary container for storing food waste from which the primary moisture has been removed, was invented, but the structure is complicated and the food waste It is inconvenient to use due to the hassle of having to move it once more.

When discharging directly without using a volume-based waste bag, most of the inner container is separated from the outer container and then the food waste in the inner container is discharged. There is also a problem in terms of aspect, and when using a volume-rate bag, there is no consideration for the structure that can easily transfer the food waste in the inner container to the volume-rate bag, so the operation is very inconvenient. It needs to be addressed because it takes a lot of effort to contain it.

In the case of an invention for a device for installing a food waste separation container inside a sink, there are many parts, and an adsorber is used to fix the position of the container and support its weight. It takes up too much space in the , so it needs to be considered.

In order to solve the problem that wastewater does not drain smoothly into the outer container when food waste is accumulated in the inner container, the inner container sewage outlet 23 is installed up to the height of the inner container central flange 24, so that the sewage outlet at the bottom is blocked or Even when the food waste is filled to a height of half or more of the inner container, the water of the food waste newly filled in the upper part can be easily discharged into the outer container 10 .

After opening the lid 30 to dispose of food waste directly from the separate collection container to the common food waste container, the inner container 20 falls out of the outer container 10 even if the container is tilted 180 degrees by holding the handle 19 of the outer container. It is provided with an inner and outer container fastening device 15 for fastening the inner and outer container so as not to fall.

This fastening device does not create a gap by applying force so that the contact surfaces of the inner and outer containers contact firmly even when the separate collection container is tilted, so sewage collected at the lower part of the outer container leaks out through the gap, and the upper part of the inner container (20-2), etc. It also serves to prevent contamination of the surface.

In the case of using a volume-based waste bag, it is a means to conveniently move food waste in the separate collection container without spilling into the volume-rate bag. In the state in which the lid 30 and the container 20 are fastened, the container in front of the lid handle 31 When the bottom plate open button 33 is pressed, the force releases the bottom plate locking device 21 through the push rod 26, and as a result, the inner container bottom plate 22 is centered on the inner container bottom plate hinge device 27 A device for rotating and opening the inner container 20 is provided, and when the inner container 20 is full of food waste, the inner and outer container fastening device 15 is released to separate the inner container 20 from the outer container 10, and then the lid handle ( 31), pull out the inner container fastened to the lid together with the lid 30 from the outer container, temporarily put it down on the floor inside the sink, put the volume-rate delivery bag into the outer container, leaving only the upper part, and then roll the upper part to the outside of the outer container and fix the contents. Prepare the device so that it can be easily inserted into the volume-rate bag, hold the lid handle 31 and insert the inner container combined with the lid about half the length of the lower part of the inner container into the volume-rate delivery bag 62, and then press the inner container bottom plate open button ( 33) to open the bottom plate of the inner container and dispose of the food waste from the inner container to the volume-rate bag.

As a device for securely installing the food waste separation container in a small space inside the corner of the sink 70, a “L”-shaped support 40 or a square support 50 and a support mount 51 are used.

As described above, when the present invention is applied, the water attached to the food can be continuously removed without fear of clogging the sewage outlet 23 of the inner container until the food waste fills the separate collection container, and the food waste separation container If you dispose of the food waste directly in the public food waste collection container at It not only makes it easier to work when transferring to a container, but also prevents food waste from leaking out of the bag.

Since the food waste separation container can be installed using only a small space in the inner corner of the sink, it provides the advantage of hygienic and convenient disposal of food waste while minimizing the inconvenience of using the sink.
