It is fixed to the bottom of the car and attached to the sink. Note that a faucet 14 is arranged above the sink 12.

The motor 1 is provided below the crushing chamber 20 so as to be surrounded by the bracket 2 fixed to the hopper 4. A shaft 5 extending upward from the motor 1 projects at the center of the lower portion of the crushing chamber 20. A rotating plate 6 is fixed to the shaft 5.
A plurality of rotary blades (rotary crushing means) 7 and 8 are mounted facing the crushing chamber 20.

At the upper end of the bracket 2, the rotary blade 7,
A fixed blade 3 having a plurality of vertically extending grooves 9 formed inside is mounted annularly outside the rotating blade 8 so as to face the rotating blades 7 and 8. Note that a hammer can be used instead of the rotary blades 7 and 8 for the rotary crushing means.

Thus, the garbage introduced into the crushing chamber 20 from the inlet 10 is crushed by the rotary blades 7, 8 and the fixed blade 3.

Between the crushing chamber 20 and the motor 1, a crushed material discharge chamber 13 into which a mixture of garbage and water crushed in the crushing chamber 20 flows is formed. Crushed material discharge chamber 13
A discharge port 15 for discharging the pulverized garbage is formed at the lowermost part of the container, and a drain 21 is attached to the discharge port 15.

Note that the radial cross-sectional shape of the pulverized material discharge chamber 13 may be narrower in the depth direction, and may be, for example, a substantially V-shape, a substantially U-shape, or the like. Further, the aspect ratio (depth / width) of the depth and width of the pulverized material discharge chamber 13 may be two or more.

Next, the operation of the disposer of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described.

First, the garbage is put into the disposer through the input port 10 and the lid 11 is attached to the input port 10. Next, the motor 1 is started while the faucet 14 is opened and water is flowing, and the rotating plate 6 is rotated. Then, the rotary blades 7 and 8 are rotated by the rotary plate 6 in a state where the blade edges face the fixed blade 3. When a hammer is used instead of the rotary blades 7 and 8, the hammer is rotated with the tip of the hammer facing the fixed blade 3 due to centrifugal force.

Therefore, according to the disposer of the present embodiment, it is possible to reliably discharge crushed materials such as kitchen garbage even with a small amount of water.

(Embodiment 2) FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a disposer according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

In the disposer shown in FIG. 2, the shaft 5 of the motor 1 protruding from the center of the lower part of the crushing chamber 20 formed in the hopper 4 has a crushing blade 18 at its tip and is a roller rotated by the motor 1. A chain (bendable rotary crushed body) 17 is attached to the wall of the crushing chamber 20. The roller chain 17 and the crushing blade 18
Is mounted so as to be rotatable in parallel with the rotation surface of the roller chain 17. A fixed blade 16 is attached to the inner wall surface of the bracket 2.

A bottom plate 19 is fixed to the bracket 2 below the roller chain 17.

The bottom surface of the pulverized material discharge chamber 13 formed between the pulverization chamber 20 and the motor 1 spirally descends in the same direction as the rotation direction of the roller chain 17 to reach the lowest point near the discharge port 15. The structure is.

Here, besides the roller chain 17 shown in the present embodiment, the bendable rotary crushed body can have flexibility such as various chain members such as chains, wires, nylon, ropes and the like. A flexible body, an elastic body such as rubber or a spring can be used.

Next, the operation of the thus configured disposer of the present embodiment will be described.

First, garbage is thrown in from the slot 10 of the disposer, and the lid 11 is attached to the slot 10. Next, the motor 1 is started while the faucet 14 is opened and water is flowing. Then, the roller chain 17 and the crushing blade 18 are rotated while being extended radially outward.

The thrown garbage is rotated by a roller chain 17, is spun radially outward by centrifugal force, is sheared by a fixed blade 16 and a crushing blade 18 rotating at high speed, and is finely crushed.

The crushed garbage flows into the crushed material discharge chamber 13 together with water through a gap between the bottom plate 19 and the wall surface of the crushing chamber 20.

The garbage and water which have flowed into the crushed material discharge chamber 13 are smoothly discharged without clogging due to the swirling flow caused by the rotation of the crushing blade 18 and the spiral shape of the crushed material discharging chamber 13 descending in the swirling flow direction. It is discharged from 15 to a drain 21.

Therefore, according to the disposer of the present embodiment, it is possible to reliably discharge crushed materials such as kitchen garbage even with a small amount of water.

Since the garbage is crushed by a flexible crushable body such as the roller chain 17,
Roller chain 17 is less likely to be locked by garbage during the initial stage of grinding or during grinding.

Here, if the width of the pulverized material discharge chamber 13 is increased as the spiral descent, kitchen waste can be discharged more smoothly.

Further, by providing the drainage channel 21 extending from the discharge port 15 in the tangential direction at the end of the pulverized material discharge chamber 13, it is possible to discharge kitchen waste more smoothly.

Further, the width of the pulverized material discharge chamber 13 may be reduced in the depth direction. In this case, the cross-sectional shape in the radial direction of the pulverized material discharge chamber 13 can be, for example, substantially V-shaped, substantially U-shaped, or the like. Further, the aspect ratio of the depth and width of the pulverized material discharge chamber 13 may be 2 or more.
