Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a kitchen waste processing device that crushes kitchen waste from home kitchens, dehydrates it, and stores it in a dust box provided outside the main body of the device. The purpose of this is to prevent the layer of water that forms between the cover and the bottom of the device body from flowing into the dust box outside the device body.

Generally, this type of kitchen waste processing apparatus includes a dewatering spinner inside the apparatus main body, the dewatering spinner dewaters the crushed kitchen waste, and the dewatered kitchen waste is stored in a dust box provided outside the apparatus main body.

However, in this kitchen waste processing device, the water dehydrated by the dehydration spinner rotates as the dehydration spinner rotates, and fills the space between the main body wall of the device body that covers the dehydration spinner, and is installed outside the counterfeit main body. There was a problem with water getting into the dust box. The present invention solves these problems, and embodiments thereof will be described below with reference to the drawings.

15 is a fixed blade formed with a large number of notches 15a attached to the lower end of the cylindrical portion 13a of the upper body 13; 16 is a fixed blade on the upper body 13;
Under the main body of the kitchen waste processing equipment installed at the bottom of the bottom plate 16a
A drain hole 16b equipped with a drain trub 17 is provided in a part of the drain hole 16b, and a kitchen waste outlet 16c is provided in the negative part of the upper end.

18 is a gear chamber provided in the bottom plate 16a of the lower body 16;
Consisting of an upper cover 19 and a lower cover 20, the lower cover 20'
A support fitting 22 for supporting the motor 21 is fixed thereto, and the motor 21 is covered with a motor cover 23 attached to the lower part of the lower body 16.

Reference numeral 24 denotes a motor shaft to which a cooling fan 25 is fixed, and is connected via a buffer rubber 26 to a drive shaft 28 to which a small gear 27 in a gear chamber 18 is fixed.

29 fixes a large gear 30 that meshes with the small gear 27,
A rotating shaft with one end supported by a bearing 31 on the lower cover 20, and the other end with a ball bearing 32 and a sealing material 33 mounted on the upper cover 19.
The rotary plate 34 is inserted into the lower body 16 and protrudes into the lower body 16, and the rotary plate 34 is located at the lower end of the fixed blade 15 at the end protruding into the lower body 16. The rotary arm 35 provided with the rotary arm 3
A conical dewatering spinner 36 disposed so as to cover 5 is integrally fixed thereto.

37 is a pair of left and right rotary blades arranged on the upper surface of the rotary plate 34 so as to face the inner surface of the fixed blade 15; 38 is a silk frame 41 forming a conical dewatering surface of the dewatering spinner 36; A raised piece 40 is provided.

43 is a waterproof ring attached to the lower body 16 close to the frame 41, and 44 is an arm fixed to the upper body 13 with a slight gap or in contact with the inner surface of the silk 38 of the dewatering spinner 36 mentioned above. , the lower end faces the bottom plate 42 of the dewatering spinner 36.

45 is a dust box whose kitchen waste storage opening 45a is connected to the kitchen waste discharge row 6c of the lower part 16 of the main body;
3 is provided with a dust box gasket 52, and a removable lid 47 is provided at the upper end entrance portion 46.

This dust box 45 can be attached to and detached from the upper and lower parts 13 and 16 of the main body by means of a buckle 48 provided at its upper end and an engaging portion 48' provided at its bottom. 49 is a magnet attached to the dust box 45; 50 is a reed switch disposed below the main body 16 relative to the magnet 49; this reed switch 50 is also connected to the power supply circuit of the motor 21.

51 is a plastic bag detachably provided inside the dust box 45.

The operation of the above configuration will now be described.

First, the kitchen waste generated in the sink is thrown into the upper cylindrical part 13a of the main body through the inlet by opening the lid 5. After that, when the lid 5 is closed and the locking plate 6 is rotated by the lid clamp 7, the magnet 9 attached to the locking plate 6 faces the reed switch 10, and at this time, the reed switch 10 senses the magnetic force of the magnet 9. Contact is ON
state and the motor 21 starts operating. When the motor 21 starts operating, the rotating plate 3 fixed to the rotating shaft 29
The four-rotation arm 35 and the dewatering spinner 36 rotate at high speed. Then, the kitchen waste in the upper cylindrical part 13a of the main body is pressed against the fixed blade 15 by the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the rotating plate 34, and is finely pulverized by the notch 15a of the fixed blade 15 and the rotating blade 37. Spinner 3 for dehydration from 15a
6 is sent to Silk 38. This kitchen waste is pressed against a mesh 38 of a dewatering spinner 36 that rotates at high speed.
9, is pushed upward by the scraping action by the fixed arm 44 and the flipping action by the rotary arm 35, and is thrown out from between the cut and raised pieces 40 at the upper end of the dehydration spinner to the kitchen waste outlet 16c and into the dust box 45. It is stored in a plastic bag 51. The water dehydrated by the dehydration spinner 36 passes through the dehydration spinner 36, hits the main body cover of the lower main body 16, and is led to the drain hole 16b. At this time, the water exerts a tangential force due to the rotation of the dehydration spinner 36, and even after hitting the main body wall, it rotates together with the dehydration spinner 36 and tries to overflow between the dehydration spinner 36 and the main crab. Dehydration spinner 36
and the main body wall (in this example, the recess 1
At step 6d), the rotational force of the water is significantly attenuated or stopped, and the water continues to fall downward and be drained. Therefore, the dehydrated water does not overflow between the dewatering spinner 36 and the main body wall and flows into the dust box 45, but is smoothly drained. Here, in this example, the recess 1
6d is provided facing the drain hole 16b, which has the advantage of further improving its drainage performance. As described above, according to the present invention, the water dehydrated by the dehydration spinner is smoothly drained without flowing into the dust box, so the kitchen waste in the dust box will not be soaked with water, etc., and the effect is great. There is something.
