Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a kitchen waste processing machine that crushes kitchen waste and stores it in a storage bag.

Conventionally, kitchen waste processing machines for processing kitchen waste generated in a sink, so-called hopper, have been installed below the discharge port of the hopper, and the kitchen waste inputted through the discharge port is crushed and then allowed to flow out from the discharge port. It is well known to have a structure in which the pulverized kitchen waste is flushed out into the sewer along with the sewage, but recently, rather than letting the crushed kitchen waste flow out into the sewer, the crushed kitchen waste can be stored in a kitchen waste storage bag and disposed of together with the storage bag. Kitchen waste disposal machines with such a structure are also available.

However, this type of kitchen waste disposal machine has the disadvantage that sewage gets mixed into the storage bag together with the crushed material and accumulates there, and as a result, the amount of kitchen waste that can be accommodated in the storage bag is reduced by the sewage. Ta.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to prevent sewage from accumulating in the storage bag, as well as to prevent crushed materials from falling out of the storage bag when the bag storage case is removed. There is no kitchen waste disposal machine to provide.

The water is maintained in a condition that allows natural drainage.

Reference numeral 28 denotes a draining member, which has a disc shape as shown in FIG. There is.

28C is a coupling gasket attached to the peripheral edge of the draining member 28.

In FIG. 1, the draining member 28 is inserted into the bag storage case 24 through the gasket 28C so that the opening part 28a of the draining member 28 is located at the upper part and faces the outlet part 8.
The draining member 28 is removably attached to the opening 24a of the draining member 28, and therefore the water passage hole 28b is located at the middle lower part of the draining member 28.

Note that 29 is a lid detachably attached to the kitchen waste inlet 5, and has a water flow hole 29a.

30 is a lid switch that opens when the lid 29 is attached and closes when it is removed, and 31 is a safety switch that opens and closes when the clamp 26 is engaged with and removed from the hole 23, respectively.

Next, to explain the operation, in the figure, when the lid 29 is removed and the power switch (not shown) is turned on, the lid switch 30 is closed due to the removal of the lid 29, and the safety switch 31 is in the closed state. As a result, the motor 11 is energized and rotated, and the water-shielding tube 16, as well as the rotary blade 19 of the crushing mechanism 17 and the discharging rotary body 20, are driven to rotate.

From the kitchen waste inlet 5 opened by removing the lid 29,
When kitchen waste generated from washing vegetables or washing dishes is dropped into the main body case 4 together with dirty water such as washing water, the kitchen waste is crushed by the crushing mechanism 17 in the crushing chamber 6 into pulverized material, which is then treated with the sewage. The waste water falls into the chamber 7 and is received by the discharge rotor 20, and the centrifugal force of the discharge rotor 20 causes the waste water to be discharged from the dehydration hole 21, while the crushed material is collected at the upper end of the discharge rotor 20. The fried food is discharged from the discharge port 8 and passed through the opening 28a of the drainer 28 into the storage bag 2.
It is accommodated within 7.

Incidentally, sewage may enter the storage bag 27, but since the storage bag 27 is held by the bag storage case 24 in a state where the water inside can be naturally drained, the sewage can be absorbed into the storage bag 27. The water flows along the lower part of the inner surface toward the lower end edge of the discharge port 8, and is discharged through the drain port 9 through the water passage hole 28b of the draining member 28.

Although it is conceivable that this folded and crushed material may flow out together with the waste water, there is no such possibility because the crushed material is prevented from flowing out by the drainage member 28 and remains in the storage bag 27.

After crushing the kitchen waste and storing the crushed material in the storage bag 27, the power switch is turned off, and then the clamp 26 and the hole 23 are disengaged and the bag storage case 24 is pinned. 22 and rotates the bag storage case 24 to the discharge port 8.
Remove from.

After this folding, the draining member 28 is also attached to the opening 2 of the bag storage case 24.
4 is removed from the discharge port 8 while remaining attached to a.

Therefore, the crushed material stored in the storage bag 27 will not fall out of the opening 24a of the bag storage case 24 and therefore from the storage bag 27.

After that, the draining member 28 is removed from the bag storage case 24, and the storage bag 27 containing the crushed material, that is, the crushed kitchen waste, is taken out from the bag storage case 24, and the opening of the storage bag 27 is sealed with a rubber band, heat sealer, etc. Seal and discard as appropriate.

In addition, when processing kitchen waste next time, store a new storage bag in the bag storage case 24, attach the draining member 28 to the opening 24a of the bag storage case 24, and then close the bag storage case 24 to the discharge port. 8 and cover the kitchen waste inlet 5 with the lid 29.

The gasket 28C may be detachable from the draining member 28, and in this case, the gasket 28C may be attached to the opening 24a of the bag storage case 24 in advance.

In short, it is sufficient if the draining member 28 can be attached to and detached from the opening 24a of the bag storage case 24.

As is clear from the above description, the present invention is a bag storage case that can store crushed kitchen waste, that is, a storage bag for storing crushed materials, and that can hold the crushed materials in a state where the water inside can be naturally drained. By providing this, it is possible to eliminate the accumulation of sewage inside the storage bag, and as a result, the pulverized material can be stored to the full capacity of the storage bag, compared to the conventional method which had the problem of sewage remaining inside the storage bag. It is possible to increase the storage capacity of the pulverized material, and in particular, a drainage member having an open part opposite to the discharge port for discharging the pulverized material in the upper part and a large number of water holes in the lower part is installed at the opening of the bag storage case. Since the structure is such that the draining member is detachable, it is possible to prevent the crushed material in the storage bag from spilling out when the bag storage case is removed, and since the draining member is detachable, it is easy to clean the draining member. It is possible to provide a kitchen waste disposal machine that exhibits various excellent effects.
