Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a kitchen waste processing device that crushes and dehydrates kitchen waste generated in a home kitchen, etc. and stores it in a portable kitchen waste storage box. To prevent kitchen waste from falling from a discharge port and from falling from a kitchen waste storage opening of a storage box when carrying the storage box.

In this kind of conventional kitchen waste processing equipment, the discharge port of the main body of the processing device and the kitchen waste storage port of the kitchen waste storage box are connected airtightly, but kitchen waste tends to remain in the kitchen waste discharge port of the main unit, and this kitchen waste becomes the kitchen waste. When the storage box is removed, it may fall and stain the inside of the sink.

Furthermore, since the kitchen waste storage opening is left open when the kitchen waste storage box is carried, kitchen waste may fall from the storage opening.

The present invention is intended to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and one embodiment thereof will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a water tank such as a sink, 2 a kitchen waste inlet attached to the water tank 1, and a main body 3 of the kitchen waste processing machine is fixed to the lower part with a fastening rubber 4.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a crushing chamber provided inside the main body 3, which is formed into a bottomless cylindrical shape, and has a fixed blade 6 of the kitchen waste crusher 30 at the lower end of the peripheral wall.
is provided.

A rotary blade 7 rotates along the inner circumferential surface of the fixed blade 6, is fixed to a rotating shaft 10, and rotation is transmitted from a motor 8 via a speed reduction device 9.

Reference numeral 1'1 denotes an inverted truncated cone-shaped dewatering spinner constituting a centrifugal dewatering device, and is fixed to the rotating shaft 10.

The peripheral wall of the dewatering spinner 11 has a large number of slits 12 in the plate.
It is composed of a net-like body provided with.

A blade 13 is provided on the top of the dewatering spinner 11, and the blade 13 faces a kitchen waste outlet 14 formed in a part of the main body 3.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a rotary arm that rotates at the same time as the rotary blade 7 and the dewatering spinner 11.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a fixed arm fixed to a part of the main body 3 and disposed close to the inner circumferential surface of the dewatering spinner 11Ω.

17 is a drainage port opened at the bottom of the main body 3;
It leads to the sewer through.

Reference numeral 19 denotes a kitchen waste storage box, which is connected to the kitchen waste discharge port 14 of the main body 3 through a kitchen waste storage port 20.

The kitchen waste storage box 19 is removably attached to the main body 3 by a locking part 21 and a lock 22 formed in a container shape at the lower part of the kitchen waste outlet 14 of the main body 3.

A blocking piece 24 is attached to the lower edge of the kitchen waste storage opening 20 of the kitchen waste storage box 19.
A shielding plate 24 with an L-shaped cross section consisting of a, an operating piece 24 and b
is rotatably supported at the bending part.

The shielding plate 24 is rotatable between a position where the shielding piece 24a closes the garbage storage opening 20 and a position where the shielding piece 24a protrudes into the lower part of the garbage discharge port 14 of the main body 3.

With the blocking piece 24a protruding into the kitchen waste outlet 14,
The operating piece 24b comes into contact with the protruding wall 14a at the bottom of the garbage discharge port 14.

A wire spring 23 is attached to a support shaft that pivots the shielding plate 24 as an elastic body that biases the shielding plate 24 in the opening direction.

The operation of the above configuration will be explained.

Kitchen waste generated in the kitchen or the like is fed into the grinding chamber 5 through the kitchen waste inlet 2.

By driving the motor 8, the rotary blade 7, the dewatering spinner 11. The rotary arm 15 rotates at the same time, and the kitchen waste is crushed by the fixed blade 6 and the rotary blade 7 and blown to the dewatering spinner 11 by centrifugal force.

The water-rich kitchen waste pressed against the dewatering spinner 11 has its water separated by the slit 12, and the water is drained into the sewer through the drain port 17.

The dehydrated kitchen waste is scooped up by the fixed arm 16,
Further, it is flipped up by the rotating arm 15 and reaches the upper surface of the dewatering spinner 11.

The kitchen waste that has reached the upper surface of the dewatering spinner 11 is discharged by the blade 13 from the kitchen waste discharge port 14 to the kitchen waste storage box 19 and stored therein.

As shown in FIG. 2, the shielding plate 24 of the kitchen waste storage box 19 is
When the kitchen waste storage box 19 is attached to the main body 3, the operation piece 24 b
engages with the projecting wall 14a of the main body 3, thereby opening the kitchen waste storage opening 20 and protruding into the lower part of the kitchen waste discharge port 14.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, when the kitchen waste storage box 19 is detached from the main body 3, the blocking plate 24 receives the bias of the wire spring 23 and closes the kitchen waste storage opening 28.

When processing kitchen waste, the shielding plate 24 is installed inside the kitchen waste outlet 14 of the main body 3.
Kitchen waste accumulates on the top, and as the kitchen waste storage box 19 separates from the main body 3, the shielding plate 24 rotates upward, and all of the accumulated kitchen waste is collected into the kitchen waste storage box 19.

Therefore, the amount of kitchen waste remaining in the kitchen waste outlet 14 is extremely small, and falling of kitchen waste from the kitchen waste outlet 14 can be prevented.

Moreover, since the kitchen waste storage opening 20 of the kitchen waste storage box 19 is also closed by the shielding plate 24 at the same time as the kitchen waste storage box 19 is removed, the kitchen waste will not fall and stain the kitchen when the kitchen waste storage box 19 is carried.

As explained above, according to the present invention, a rotatable shield is provided at the lower edge of the kitchen waste storage opening of the kitchen waste storage box between a position that closes the storage opening and a position that projects into the kitchen waste discharge port of the processing device main body. Since the closing plate is provided, the kitchen waste remaining in the kitchen waste outlet during kitchen waste processing can be caught by the shielding plate and collected into the kitchen waste storage box, so that the kitchen waste will not fall out from the kitchen waste outlet when the kitchen waste storage box is removed. can be prevented.

Further, when the kitchen waste storage box is carried, the kitchen waste storage opening is closed by the shielding plate, so that it is possible to prevent the kitchen waste from falling out when the kitchen waste storage box is carried.
