DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Examples according to embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0008]
First, the outline of the garbage processing machine according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0009]
The garbage processing machine (slag processing machine) is provided with a processing tank 1, an outer frame 2 in which the processing tank 1 is placed, an upper side of the processing tank 1, and an opening 10 formed at the top of the processing tank 1 is opened. The upper lid 3 that can be opened and closed to be closed, the rotatable stirring body 4 provided in the inside of the processing tank 1, and provided in the space of the outer frame body 2 below the lower part of the processing tank 1, and drives the stirring body 4. It has a motor 15.
[0010]
Moreover, it has a heating means for heating on the outer surface of the treatment tank. Further, a deodorizing device (not shown) is provided in the space. The deodorizing apparatus has a blower unit and a deodorizing unit. An exhaust port 11 provided on the upper side of the treatment tank 1 communicates with a deodorizing device via a duct 12. The exhaust gas deodorized by the deodorizer is about 25 ° C. higher than room temperature. This high-temperature exhaust is discharged from the lower side of the outer frame 2.
[0011]
The processing tank 1 has a shape in which the frontage is narrow, the depth is longer than the frontage width, and the bottom is deeper than the depth length. Moreover, the insertion port 10 provided in the upper part of the processing tank 1 has a shape whose frontage is narrow and whose depth is longer than the frontage width. The box-shaped outer frame body 2 in which the treatment tank is placed has an elongated shape having a narrower opening width than the depth length and a height higher than the depth length. The garbage processing machine having such a narrow frontage width and a vertically long shape is compact and has a merit of a large amount of processing, but is liable to fall down in the left-right direction and lacks stability.
[0012]
The auxiliary leg 6 that increases the stability of this garbage disposal machine will be described with reference to FIGS. This auxiliary leg 6 is used as a tipping prevention of the garbage disposal machine.
[0013]
A bottom plate 7 is provided at the bottom of the garbage disposal machine. The support leg 5 is fitted and fixed to the bottom plate 7. It is also possible to fasten and fix with screws or the like. The bottom plate 7 closes the opening on the bottom side of the outer frame body 2 and is fastened to the bottom portion of the outer frame body 2 with screws or the like to reinforce the bottom portion of the outer frame body 2.
[0014]
The support legs 5 are arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the garbage disposal machine, and the auxiliary legs 6 are attached to the bottom of the garbage disposal machine using the support legs 5. The support leg 5 has a circular outer periphery. Since the outer periphery is circular, the auxiliary leg 6 can be easily attached to the support leg 5 and can be firmly fixed.
[0015]
The auxiliary leg 6 has a laterally long shape as a whole having a mounting portion 6a corresponding to a heel and a laterally extending portion 6b extending laterally from the mounting portion 6a. The attaching part 6a has a cylinder fitted to the outer periphery of the support leg 5 of the garbage disposal machine. An engaging recess 6c is formed on the upper end surface of the mounting portion 6a forming the cylinder. There are three engaging recesses 6c with an arrangement angle of 90 degrees.
[0016]
When the auxiliary leg 6 is attached by fitting the attachment portion 6a to the outer periphery of the support leg 5, an engagement protrusion (not shown) provided on the bottom plate 7 is engaged with the engagement recess 6c. ing. The auxiliary leg 6 is prevented from rotating by the engagement between the engagement recess 6c and the engagement protrusion (not shown).
[0017]
The auxiliary leg 6 is attached by fitting the attachment portion 6a to the support leg 5, but is a tight fitting fit, so that the auxiliary leg 6 is fitted while turning the auxiliary leg 6. Since the attachment portion 6a of the auxiliary leg 6 is a cylinder and the outer periphery of the support leg 5 is a circle, the fitting can be performed while turning.
[0018]
When the auxiliary leg 6 is completely attached to the support leg 5, the auxiliary leg 6 is prevented from rotating by the engagement of the engaging recess 6c and the engaging protrusion (not shown). Since the attachment direction of the auxiliary leg 6 is not easily changed by this rotation stop, the function of preventing the tipping-up of the garbage disposal machine by the auxiliary leg 6 is reliably maintained.
[0019]
The bottom surface side of the horizontally extending portion 6b is recessed except for the peripheral edge portion. The peripheral portion and the lower surface of the attachment portion 6a (cylinder) are flat (equal). The reason for the depression except for the peripheral edge is that the moldability of the auxiliary leg 6 (made of synthetic resin) is good and the sitting of the auxiliary leg 6 against the floor surface is improved. Further, when the auxiliary leg 6 is completely attached to the support leg 5, the lower surface of the support leg 5 and the lower surface of the auxiliary leg 6 are flush with each other, so that the sitting is good and the stability is good. The peripheral portion also serves as an overall reinforcement of the auxiliary leg 6.
[0020]
How to use the auxiliary leg 6 according to the installed state of the garbage disposal machine will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0021]
FIG. 5 shows a state where the garbage disposal machine is installed so that the rear surface of the garbage disposal machine follows the kitchen wall.
[0022]
The auxiliary legs 6 are attached to both support legs 5 on the front side of the garbage disposal machine and set so as to protrude to the outside of the outer frame body 2. The auxiliary leg 6 set in this way prevents the garbage disposal from falling in the left-right direction.
[0023]
In this way, in a box-shaped garbage disposal machine with a narrow frontage width, a depth longer than the frontage width, and a height that is higher than the depth length, it can be attached using the support legs 5 provided at the bottom. By providing a long auxiliary leg on the side, it was possible to obtain a stable garbage disposal machine that does not fall in the left-right direction.
[0024]
The auxiliary leg 6 has a horizontally long shape and is easy to make because it is not a complicated structure. Moreover, since the auxiliary leg 6 can be easily attached and detached by using the support leg 5 provided at the bottom of the garbage disposal machine, it is easy to handle.
[0025]
FIG. 6 shows a state in which the garbage disposal machine is installed so that the left side of the garbage disposal machine follows the kitchen wall.
[0026]
The auxiliary legs 6 are attached to the front and rear support legs 5 on the right side of the garbage disposal machine and set so as to protrude to the outside of the outer frame body 2. The auxiliary leg 6 set in this way prevents the food waste processor from falling rightward.
[0027]
FIG. 7 shows a tray 20 (made of synthetic resin) on which a garbage disposal machine is placed. The tray 20 receives the treated base material that has been spilled from the inlet 10 when a treated base material such as water droplets generated on the garbage processing machine and spilled to the outside, or a soot is introduced. As shown in FIG. 8, in the garbage disposal machine placed on the tray 20, the auxiliary legs 6 are attached to the front support legs 5. The tray 20 has such a size that the two auxiliary legs 6 set so as to protrude to the outside of the outer frame body 2 can be accommodated.
[0028]
Although not shown, the auxiliary leg 6 is not necessary when the garbage disposal machine is placed in a narrow space between the sink and the cupboard. The auxiliary leg 6 is removed from the support leg 5, or the auxiliary leg 6 is set so as to be stored in the bottom of the outer frame body 2 so as not to protrude outside the outer frame body 2.
[0029]
Although not normally performed, the auxiliary leg 6 can be set and used so as to protrude to the front side or the rear side of the garbage disposal machine.
[0030]
The tray 20 is sprayed with high-temperature exhaust discharged from the deodorizing device. By using this tray 20, the floor surface can be protected from high-temperature exhaust. Exhaust gas discharged from the deodorizing apparatus includes high temperature, high humidity, and acidic and corrosive gas components. The tray 20 is extremely effective in preventing the floor surface from being soiled and protecting the floor surface from damage caused by exhaust.
