Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Kitchen waste of vegetables and seafood produced at home already contains a considerable amount of water, and also because of the large amount of water that adheres to it during washing and cooking, it is often discarded. The moisture content is very high.

Therefore, during temporary storage at home, etc., it deteriorates or becomes waste, making it very unsanitary, and because it is heavy and bulky, it is necessary to dispose of it at a garbage collection point. It is inconvenient to carry around.

Further, it is similarly inconvenient to transport the waste to a processing plant using a transport vehicle or the like, and furthermore, when incinerating the waste, it is uneconomical because a large amount of fuel is consumed.

The present invention provides a kitchen waste dewatering device that utilizes water pressure from the water supply system, which is installed in a strainer for separating kitchen waste and water, which is normally provided in the washing tank of a sink used in a home kitchen.
This invention relates to a sink that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks by dewatering collected kitchen waste from the beginning and taking it out.This sink will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings.

1 is a sink, 2 is a washing tank thereof, and 3 is a strainer tube provided at one corner of the washing tank 2.

Near the upper end of the inner surface of the strainer cylinder 3, locking pieces 4 facing in the centripetal direction are disposed in the circumferential direction with intervals provided therebetween.

5 is a dewatering basket, an inward flange 8 is attached to the lower end of a cylindrical body 7 having a small water-rich hole 6, and the upper surface of the flange 8 is fitted with iron so that it can slide freely inside the cylindrical body 7; It is constructed by locking a pressing plate 10 in which a large number of small holes 9 are bored.

The base end of a lid plate 11 that covers the upper surface entrance part of the cylinder 8 is screwed onto the upper end of the inner surface of the strainer tube 3 with a hinge 12, and the free end of the same It is removably locked with a hook 14 to a provided downward locking protrusion 13, and a handle 15 is provided at the center of the rhombus slope 11.

Further, an outward flange 16 is provided at the upper end of the outer surface of the cylindrical chest 7.
has been established.

This dewatering basket 5 is saddle-mounted by placing its outward flange 16 on the locking piece 4 of the strainer cylinder 3 so that the upper ends thereof are approximately at the same height as the strainer cylinder 3.

Below the dewatering basket 5, a cylinder 18 of a water pressure machine 17 facing upward is fixed with a mounting plate 19, and on the top of the cylinder 18, a conical water plate 20 that covers the top surface of the water pressure machine 17 is fitted with iron. has been done.

A piston punch 22 provided upwardly protruding from a piston 21 of the hydraulic machine 17 passes through the water flow plate 20 and passes through the pressure plate 1 of the dewatering basket 5.
It is iron-coupled to an engagement tube 23 provided at the center of the lower surface of 0.

24 and 25 are an inlet pipe and a side pipe connected to the lower end and upper end of the cylinder 18 of the hydraulic machine 17, respectively.

26 is a switching valve as schematically shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and by operating its handle 27, the water pipe 28 is switched on.
At the same time that the drain pipe 29 is switched and connected to the inflow pipe 24 or the side pipe 25, the drain pipe 29 is switched and connected to the side pipe 25 or the inflow pipe 24.

In the cleaning tank 2 having the above-mentioned configuration, the top surface of the dewatering basket 5 is opened by opening the cover plate 11, as shown by the imaginary line in FIG.
When food is washed or cooked in this state, kitchen waste 30 generated at that time is collected in the dehydration basket 5.

To dehydrate the kitchen waste 30, first close the lid plate 11 as shown by the second pattern line, then operate the handle 27.
The switching valve 26 is brought into the state shown in FIG.

Then, the tap water flows from the water pipe 28 through the inflow pipe 24 into the lower part of the cylinder 18 of the water pressure machine 17, and the piston 21 is pushed up together with the piston punch 22 by the tap water pressure, so that the pressure on the dewatering basket 5 is reduced. The plate 10 is pushed up.

Therefore, the kitchen waste 30 is compressed between the press plate 10 and the cover plate 11, and the moisture contained in the kitchen waste 30 is compressed between the cylindrical body 7 and the press plate 11.
It flows out from the small holes 6 and 9 of 0, flows down inside the strainer cylinder 3, and is discharged from its lower end.

Even if the apparent volume of the kitchen waste 30 gradually decreases due to compression, the compressive force of the water pressure machine 17 that uses water pressure does not change, so according to this device, water can be dehydrated extremely efficiently. Moreover, consumption of clean water during this period is minimal.

When the dewatering of the kitchen waste 30 is completed, the switching valve 26 is switched to the state shown in FIG. 5 by operating the handle 27.

Then, the compression is stopped and the water at the bottom of the cylinder 18 is
The water flows out from the drain pipe 29 through the inflow pipe 24, and the water flows from the water pipe 28 through the side pipe 25 into the cylinder 1.
8 and pushes down the piston 21 together with the piston punch 22.

The dehydrated kitchen waste 30 becomes a small and lightweight cake,
It is easy to handle, and the lid plate 11 can be opened, taken out together with the dehydration basket 5, and disposed of as appropriate. As mentioned above, according to the sink of the present invention, the kitchen waste 30 can be dehydrated by simple operation without using any energy such as electricity for dehydration.
Since it can be taken out from the strainer tube 3, handling of the kitchen waste 30 becomes easy and sanitary. In carrying out the present invention, instead of the water pressure machine 17 described above, a bellows 31 having a pressure village 32 and a clean water inflow pipe 33 on both upper and lower surfaces, as shown in FIG. 6, is used. You can also do that.
