Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a kitchen waste processing device for hygienically processing waste from home kitchens, and is aimed at preventing clogging of a dewatering spinner and improving dewatering efficiency.

Conventionally, various attempts have been made regarding equipment for crushing and dehydrating kitchen waste, but none have been put to practical use yet.

One reason for this is that the spinner for dewatering becomes clogged with various miscellaneous kitchen waste, and when used for a long period of time, it almost loses its dewatering function. The present invention eliminates these conventional drawbacks, and one embodiment thereof will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a water tank such as a sink, 2 is its drain port, and 3
is formed into a bottomless cylindrical shape on the main body of the kitchen waste disposal device attached to the drain port 2, and a cover portion 3b that extends outward and upward is integrally formed on the lower opening edge of the cylindrical portion 3a. .

Reference numeral 4 denotes a fixed blade formed on the cylindrical lower end of the upper main body 3, and 5 indicates a separation chamber 6 and a gear chamber T under the main body of the kitchen waste processing device attached to the lower part of the upper main body 3 through partition walls 5a and 5b. and a motor room 8, and the separation room 6 is provided with a drain pipe 9 connected to sewage.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a motor provided in the motor chamber 8 of the lower body 5, and its motor shaft 11 faces the separation chamber 6 through the partition walls 5a and 5b.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a rotary plate fixed to the tip of the motor shaft 11, and is provided so as to be located at the lower end of the fixed blade 4 of the upper cylindrical portion 3a of the main body, and a rotary blade 13 facing the inner surface of the fixed blade 4 is provided on the upper surface of the rotary plate 12. There are a pair of left and right.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a conical dewatering spinner disposed in the separation chamber 6 so as to cover the outer periphery of the fixed blade 4, and has a large number of slits 15 on its conical surface.

This spinner 6 has a spinner shaft 1 attached to its bottom.
6 is loosely fitted onto the motor shaft 11 so as to be freely rotatable, and a gear IT is fixed to the lower end portion of the upper body 3 facing the gear chamber T. This gear IT is connected to a drive gear 19 fixed to the motor shaft 11 via a speed increasing gear 18 provided in the gear chamber T, and is configured to rotate slightly faster than the rotation of the rotary plate 12. Reference numeral 20 denotes a brush rest disposed so as to be inscribed in the conical surface of the spinner 6, and is attached to a brush holder 21 provided on the rotary plate 12 with some play as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of brush bodies 20 are prepared with the brushes 20a shifted up and down. 22 is a kitchen waste outlet opened at the joint between the upper and lower parts 3 and 5 of the main body, 23 is a dust box connected to this kitchen waste outlet 22, and a handle 24 and a buckle 25 are used to connect the upper and lower parts of the main body 3 and 5. It is removable.

26 is a plastic bag provided inside the dust box 23.

In the above configuration, when the motor 10 is rotated, the rotating plate 12 fixed to the motor shaft 11 rotates, and the spinner 14 rotates at high speed via the gear group 17, 18, 19.

In this state, when kitchen waste is thrown into the cylindrical part 3a of the upper body 3 from the drain port 2, the kitchen waste that has fallen onto the rotating plate 12 is repelled by the centrifugal force towards the fixed blade 4, and the rotating blade 13
and the fixed blade 4. The crushed kitchen waste is scattered into the spinner 14 through the gap T between the fixed blades 4 (see FIG. 2), where it is centrifugally dehydrated. This centrifugally dehydrated kitchen waste is pushed upward by the upward component force generated on the conical surface of the spinner 14, is thrown off from the upper opening edge of the spinner 14, and is sent from the waste discharge port 22 into the plastic bag 26 of the dust box 23. automatically ejected. Here, in this kitchen waste processing equipment, spinner 1
The kitchen waste scattered on the inner surface of the brush body 20, 20', 20
Since the spinner 7 is forcibly pushed upward, the kitchen waste adhering to the inner surface of the spinner 14 can be reliably discharged.

This device further includes a plurality of brush bodies 20,
2', 20f are provided and each brush 20a, 20a', 2 is provided.
Since the position of 0at is shifted up and down so that it has the same effect as a single brush, the brush 20a of each brush body,
20a', 20a2 can be set short, and accordingly, there is less residual kitchen waste attached to the brushes 20a, 20a', 20a'', and the resistance is also reduced.
It is also possible to make the size smaller by increasing the cone angle. In addition, the kitchen waste adhering to the inner surface of the spinner 14 is first pushed up one step by the brush body 20 located at the bottom of the brush 20a, and then pushed up one step further by the brush 20a' of the brush body 20a' located at the bottom. The food waste is pushed upward and discharged from the upper opening edge of the spinner 14. While being pushed upward one step at a time, the food waste rotates once with respect to the brush body together with the spinner 14, during which time it is sufficiently dehydrated. Dewatering efficiency is further improved. Further, in the device of this embodiment, the brush bodies 20, 20', 207 rotate in the same manner as the spinner 14 due to the rotation of the rotary plate 12, and moreover, they rotate slightly slower than the rotation of the spinner 14. brush body 20,2
It takes time for σ,20″ to rotate once,
There is an advantage that kitchen waste can be dehydrated even better.

In the above embodiment, the brush bodies are attached to the rotary plate so as to rotate together with the rotary plate, but each brush body may be attached to a fixed member such as the main body.

As described above, according to the present invention, the kitchen waste scattered on the spinner can be reliably discharged by the brush body, and a good dehydration function can be maintained for a long period of time. By providing this, kitchen waste attached to the spinner will not be immediately discharged and a sufficient dehydration effect cannot be obtained, and a high dehydration effect can be obtained, and the spinner etc. can be made smaller. The effects are huge.
