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.

Recently, kitchen waste processing machines that crush and process the kitchen waste generated in the sink, or so-called hopper, have been designed to process the kitchen waste, which is crushed by the crushing mechanism, instead of discharging it into the sewer, etc.
The structure is such that the pulverized material is received by the discharging rotary body and discharged into the storage bag by the centrifugal force of the pulverized material; In order to prevent part of the crushed material from remaining attached to the inner peripheral surface, there is a structure in which a scraping member for scraping off the crushed material is provided at the discharge end of the discharge rotary body.

However, in this type of kitchen waste processing machine, although the scraping member can remove the crushed material adhering to the periphery of the crushed material processing chamber, some of the crushed material to be discharged by the discharging rotor is not scraped. The problem was that its release was blocked near the back surface of the holding member and it remained there.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a structure in which the scraping member can remove the crushed material remaining inside the crushed material processing chamber. To provide a kitchen waste disposal machine that does not cause adhesion and accumulation.

It faces outward on the side indicated by arrow A in FIG.

Reference numeral 34 denotes a guide surface portion formed on the scraping member 32, which extends steplessly from the blade portion 33 to the inner surface of the discharging rotor 20 in the counter-rotational direction thereof.

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 rotates, and the water-shielding cylinder 16, as well as the rotary blade 19 of the crushing mechanism 17 and the discharging rotary body 20, are driven to rotate in the direction of arrow A.

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 sewage falls into the chamber 7, where it is received by the discharge rotor 20, and the centrifugal force of the discharge rotor 20 causes the sewage to be discharged from the dewatering hole 21, and flows along the bottom of the crushed material processing chamber 7 to the drain port. 10, and are discharged to the sewer, etc. as appropriate.

On the other hand, the pulverized material is lifted up to the discharge end portion, that is, the flange portion 20a of the discharge rotary body 20, and is discharged from the discharge port portion 8.
It is stored in the storage bag 27.

Further, the crushed material remaining on the inner surface upper part of the crushed material processing chamber 7 without being discharged from the discharge port 8 is scraped off by the blade part 33 of the scraping member 32 that rotates together with the discharge rotary body 20, and is removed as it is. Guided by the rising surface of the blade portion 33, as shown by arrow B in FIG. 3, it is discharged from the discharge port 8 into the storage bag 27 and stored there.

During this folding, since the rising surface of the blade part 33 faces outward in the rotational direction of the discharging rotor 20, the crushed material scraped by the blade part 33 is subjected to an outward biasing force. The scraping member 32 is supported and guided, and when the scraping member 32 faces the discharge port 8, it is vigorously discharged into the storage bag 27 through the discharge port 8.

Therefore, no crushed material adheres to the blade portion 33.

By the way, when the pulverized material received by the discharging rotary body 20 is lifted up by the centrifugal force of the discharging rotary body 20, a part of the pulverized material passes through the scraping member 32. The guide surface portion 34 moves from the blade portion 33 to the discharge rotating body 2.
Since it extends steplessly to the inner surface of the scraping member 32, it is smoothly lifted up without any accumulation on the back surface of the scraping member 32, and is discharged from the discharge port portion 8 after passing over the blade portion 33. .

Therefore, the crushed material does not remain attached to the scraping member 32.

Although a small amount of sewage may intrude into the storage bag 27, the sewage can be absorbed by the storage bag 27 because the storage bag 27 is maintained in a state where the water inside can be naturally drained by the bag storage case 24. The water flows along the lower part of the inner surface of the drain member 27 toward the lower edge of the discharge port 8, and then flows through the water passage hole 28a of the draining member 28.
and is discharged through the drain port 9.

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.
