This door opens and closes the front opening of the door 2, and a garbage storage container 3 with an upper opening is attached inside the door 2. Reference numeral 4 denotes a lid that opens and closes the upper opening of the garbage storage container 3. This lid 4 is attached to the top of the garbage storage container 3 with a hinge or the like so that it can be opened and closed freely, and one end of a string 5 is fixed to the center of the lid 4. The other end of this string 5 is fixed to the cabinet 1,
When the door 2 is opened and closed, the lid 4 also opens and closes the upper opening of the garbage storage container 3 in conjunction with the opening and closing of the door 2. That is, when the door 2 is opened as shown in the figure, the lid 4 of the garbage container 3 is pulled by the string 5 as shown by the solid line to open the upper opening of the garbage container 3, and when the door 2 is closed, the lid 4 of the garbage container 3 is pulled by the string 5 as shown by the solid line. As the string 5 is loosened as shown in , the lid 4 closes the upper opening of the garbage storage container 3 by its own weight.

However, with only the above configuration, the odor of the garbage rises every time the door 2 of the cabinet 1 is opened and garbage is thrown into the garbage storage container 3 or the garbage inside the garbage storage container 3 is thrown away. The problem was that it was full of air.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and when putting garbage into a garbage storage section or throwing away garbage in the garbage storage section, the odor of the garbage does not rise. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a garbage disposal device in which the exhaust device can be operated arbitrarily even when the cabinet door is closed.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above objects, the present invention provides a cabinet having an opening on the front surface, a storage section provided in the cabinet and having a front part of the top opening that can be freely drawn out of the cabinet, and a storage section disposed in the cabinet. an exhaust device for discharging the odor in the storage section to the outdoors; a door for opening and closing the front opening of the cabinet;
an interlocking switch that turns off and drives the exhaust device, and a manual switch that is connected in parallel with the interlocking switch and arbitrarily drives the exhaust device,
The interlocking switch and the manual switch are provided on the front wall of the cabinet above the storage section covered by the door, and the manual switch is provided with a gap behind the back surface of the door when the door is closed. Therefore, according to this configuration, when the door is opened, the interlocking switch turns on and drives the exhaust system.
Due to this drive, the odor of the garbage inside the garbage storage section is discharged, so that when putting garbage into the garbage storage section or throwing away garbage inside the garbage storage section, the odor of the garbage rises. This eliminates the problem of discomfort, and even in summer when bad odors are likely to occur, the exhaust system can be operated at will by operating a manual switch, even if the cabinet door is closed and the exhaust system is stopped. In addition, when the switch is stored in the cabinet, the switch is covered with a door so that it is not exposed to the outside, giving it a good appearance. Nifere,
There is no need to accidentally turn on the manual switch, and since the manual switch is installed on the front wall of the cabinet above the storage compartment, which can be pulled out freely, the manual switch will not be hidden when the storage compartment is pulled out. This has an excellent effect in that the state of the manual switch can be confirmed by the natural movement when opening the door, and erroneous operation can be prevented.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6. In Figure 2, 11 is a wall;
12 is a floor surface, 13 is a cabinet of a sink installed on the floor surface 12, and 14 is a door that opens and closes the front opening of the cabinet 13;
It is rotatable around 5. Reference numeral 16 denotes a trash storage section housed within the cabinet 13, and the trash storage section 16 can be pulled out from the front opening of the cabinet 13 around a lower fulcrum 17. Reference numeral 18 denotes an exhaust device disposed within the cabinet 13, and this exhaust device 18 includes an exhaust fan 1 rotated by a motor (not shown).
9, a fan case 20 for housing the exhaust fan 19, and the like. 21 is the intake port,
22 is an exhaust port provided in the fan case 20;
This exhaust port 22 is connected to an exhaust pipe 23 that guides the odor coming out of the exhaust port 22 to the outdoors.
Reference numeral 24 denotes an interlocking switch which is disposed on the upper front surface of the cabinet 13 and drives the exhaust fan 19. The interlocking switch 24 is constructed as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. That is,
25 is a switch case, this switch case 2
5 includes a fixed contact 26 that is electrically connected to a motor (not shown) that rotationally drives the exhaust fan 19.
and a movable contact 28 which is biased by a spring 27 so as to be in constant contact with the fixed contact 26, and the movable contact 28 has a hole 2 provided in the switch case 25.
A movable member 30 is provided that protrudes outside the switch case 26 through the switch case 9. Reference numeral 31 denotes a manual on/off switch disposed on the upper front surface of the cabinet 13 and for driving or stopping the exhaust fan 19. As shown in FIG. are electrically connected in parallel.

The operation of the above configuration will now be described.
First, when the door 14 closes the front opening of the cabinet 13 as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 3, the movable member 30 of the interlock switch 24 is pushed by the door 14 and moves as shown in FIG. Since the contact 28 is separated from the fixed contact 26, the interlock switch 24 is turned off. As a result, the power supply to the motor (not shown) is stopped and the exhaust fan 19 is stopped. From this state, when the door 14 is opened as shown by the solid line in FIG. 3 in order to throw garbage into the garbage storage section 16 or throw away the garbage inside the garbage storage section 16, the movable member 30 of the interlocking switch 24 is opened. Since the contact with the door 14 is released, the movable contact 28 is biased by the spring 27 and comes into contact with the fixed contact 26, as shown in FIG. 6, thereby turning on the interlocking switch 24. As a result, a motor (not shown) is energized and the exhaust fan 19 is rotated. Due to the rotation of the exhaust fan 19, when the garbage storage section 16 is pulled out, the odor of the garbage inside the garbage storage section 16 is sucked in through the intake port 21, passes through the inside of the fan case 20, and exits the exhaust pipe 23 from the exhaust port 22. Since the waste is discharged outdoors through the waste storage section 17, the smell of the waste does not rise from the upper opening of the waste storage section 17 and become unpleasant.

After putting in or throwing out trash, push the trash storage section 16 into the cabinet 13 and close the door 14. As shown in FIG. As a result, the movable contact 28 separates from the fixed contact 26, and the interlocking switch 24 turns off, so the exhaust fan 19 stops. In this case, the front opening of the cabinet 13 is closed by the door 14, so that odor can be prevented from leaking.

Furthermore, in the above configuration, when the door 14 of the cabinet 13 is closed, the interlocking switch 24 is activated and the operation of the exhaust fan 19 is stopped; however, in seasons such as summer when bad odors are likely to occur, even if the door 14 is closed. , it becomes necessary to operate the exhaust fan 19. Even if such a need arises, in one embodiment of the present invention, a manual on/off switch 31 is provided, and by turning on this manual switch 31, the exhaust fan 19 can be rotated. , the odor of the garbage in the garbage storage section 16 can be discharged outdoors. Also, when the storage section 16 is stored, the switch 2
4 and 31 are covered with the door 14 and are not exposed to the outside,
Not only does it have a good appearance, it also prevents workers from accidentally touching the manual switch 31 with their lower backs and accidentally turning on the manual switch 31 while working in the kitchen, and the manual switch 31 can be freely pulled out. Since the manual switch is installed on the front wall of the cabinet above the storage compartment, the manual switch will not be hidden when the storage compartment is pulled out, and the status of the manual switch can be confirmed by the natural movement of opening the door, preventing accidental activation. It is possible.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, when the door is opened, the interlocking switch is turned on and drives the exhaust device, so the odor of the garbage in the garbage storage section is exhausted by this drive. Therefore, there is no longer the problem of unpleasant odors caused by rising garbage odors when putting garbage into the garbage storage or disposing of garbage in the garbage storage, and moreover, during seasons such as summer when bad odors are likely to occur, the problem is eliminated. Even if the cabinet door is closed and the exhaust system is stopped, the exhaust system can be operated as desired by operating the manual switch, and the switch can be covered by the door when the cabinet is stored in the cabinet. This prevents workers from accidentally touching the manual switch while working in the kitchen and turning it on by mistake. is installed on the front wall of the cabinet above the storage compartment, which can be freely drawn out, so the manual switch is not hidden when the storage compartment is pulled out, and the status of the manual switch can be checked with the natural movement of opening the door, making it easy to avoid mistakes. This has the excellent effect of preventing driving.
