Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a kitchen waste processing device in which kitchen waste is crushed by a crushing mechanism, separated from water by an inverted conical spinner, and stored in a dust box.

In general, this type of kitchen waste disposal equipment stops operation when the spinner holes installed inside the machine get clogged when separating water and kitchen waste, and increases the flow of water, for example, by storing water in the sink to wash dishes. Another problem is that when water is flushed all at once while washing vegetables, etc., the amount of water flowing into the spinner section is greater than the amount of water flowing out, and it flows into the dust box from the opening edge of the upper part of the spinner, causing the kitchen waste in the dust box to become soaked with water. It was hot. The present invention aims to eliminate such 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,
This is the input port for kitchen waste.

3 is on the main body of the kitchen waste processing device attached to the drain port 2,
It is formed into a bottomless cylindrical shape, and a cover portion 3b that extends outward and upward is integrally formed at the lower opening edge of the cylindrical portion 3a.

This upper body 3 has a ring nut 4 attached to the outer periphery of the upper opening edge.
A reed switch 5 is installed between the outer periphery of the upper opening edge and the ring nut 4 and is activated by sensing magnetic force. Reference numeral 6 denotes a fixed blade formed at the lower cylindrical end of the upper main body 3, and □ indicates a drain pipe 9 connected to the sewage water under the main body of the kitchen waste processing device attached to the lower part of the upper main body 3.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a motor provided at the lower part of the lower body T, which is driven by the reed switch 5, and its motor shaft 11 passes through the bulkheads Ta and Tb and faces the lower part of the upper body 3. I'm here.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a rotary plate fixed to the tip of the motor shaft 11, and a pair of left and right rotary blades 13 are provided on the upper surface thereof, facing the inner surface of the fixed blade 4.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a conical spinner for dewatering disposed so as to cover the outer periphery of the fixed blade 4, and a large number of slits 15 are formed in the cone.
have.

This spinner 6 has a spinner shaft 1 attached to its bottom.
6 is loosely inserted into the motor shaft 11, and this spinner shaft 1
A gear 17 attached to the motor shaft 6 is connected to a drive gear 19 of the motor shaft 11 via a speed increasing gear 18 for rotation. Reference numeral 20 denotes a kitchen waste discharge port opened at the joint between the upper and lower portions 3 and T of the main body, and 23 an opening/closing body for closing the kitchen waste discharge port 20, which is bent into a substantially L shape and is connected to the opening/closing portion 23a. 23b is made to protrude into the cylindrical part 3a of the main body top 3, and a shaft rod 24 whose part is made to protrude from the cylindrical part 3a.
It is rotatably supported by.

The opening/closing body 23 is biased by a spring 25 interposed between the protruding piece 3a' from the cylindrical part 3a and the operating part 23b so that the opening/closing part 23a closes the kitchen waste outlet 20. . 26 is a watertight diaphragm gasket provided with a penetrating portion for the operating portion 23b, and 27 is the kitchen waste discharge port 2.
With the dust box connected to 0, handle 28 and buckle 2
9 and are detachably attached to the upper and lower parts 3 and 7 of the main body.

Reference numeral 30 denotes a removable lid that covers the kitchen waste input port 2, and a magnet 31 for turning on the read switch 5 is incorporated in a part of the bottom of the lid.

An operating rod 32 is provided on the lower surface of the main body 30, protruding into the cylindrical portion 3a of the upper body 3 and pushing down the operating portion 23b of the opening/closing body 23. In the above-mentioned configuration, in this kitchen waste processing apparatus, kitchen waste is inputted from the kitchen waste input port 2, and when the lid body '30 is covered with the kitchen waste input port 2, the reed switch 5 turns ON and the motor 10 starts rotating. Operation rod 3
2 pushes down the operation part 23b of the opening/closing body 23, and the opening/closing part 2
3a upward to open the kitchen waste discharge port 20. The rotation of the motor 10 rotates the spinner 14 together with the rotary blade 13, and the rotary blade 13 cooperates with the fixed blade 6 to crush the kitchen waste. In addition, this crushed kitchen waste is flicked through the gap T between the fixed blades 4 (see Figure 3) into the spinner 14, where it is dehydrated and then pushed upward by the upward force generated by the cone of the spinner 14. , the garbage is flicked off from the upper opening edge of the spinner 14 and automatically discharged from the garbage discharge port 20 into the dust box 2T.
When the lid 30 is removed from the garbage inlet 2 and opened, the reed switch 5 is turned OFF and the motor 10 is turned off.
When the rotation stops, the operating rod 32 separates from the operating portion 23b of the opening/closing body 23, and the opening/closing portion 23b closes the garbage discharge port 20.

Therefore, even if a large amount of water is poured into the kitchen waste inlet 2 during this operation stop and the water overflows from the upper opening edge of the spinner 14 because the hole in the spinner 14 is clogged,
This water no longer enters the dust box 27 from the kitchen waste discharge port 20, but instead is drained into the sewer from the drain pipe 9. In this embodiment, the magnet 31 of the reed switch 5, which serves as the power switch for the motor 10, is connected to the lid 30.
Since the motor 10 cannot be rotated unless the lid 30 is set, it is safe because there is no chance of forgetting to set the lid 30 and rotating the motor 10. In this way, the present invention provides a normally closed opening/closing body at the kitchen waste discharge port, and this opening/closing body is opened when the power switch of the crushing mechanism is turned on. Therefore, when the power switch is not turned on and the operation is stopped, the kitchen waste discharge port is closed. This has great effects, such as preventing water from flowing into the dust box from the kitchen waste outlet even if a large amount of water is poured into it.
