[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an automatic waste discharge device for a water tank, including an upper pipe body 1 and a water tank 8. The bottom of the upper pipe body 1 is provided with a lower pipe body 2, and a flange 3 is installed at the bottom of the lower pipe body 2. An electric valve 12 is connected to the bottom of the flange 3. A drain pipe 4 is connected to one side of the bottom of the lower pipe body 2. An upper gasket 6 and a lower gasket 7 are fitted on the upper part of the upper pipe body 1. A water tank 8 is provided between the upper gasket 6 and the lower gasket 7. A first external thread 10 is provided on the upper outer side of the upper part of the upper pipe body 1. A first fixing nut 9 located below the lower gasket 7 is provided on the outer side of the first external thread 10. A drain mesh 5 located on one side of the drain pipe 4 is opened on the side of the lower pipe body 2. An infrared sensor switch is provided on the water tank 8. The infrared sensor switch is electrically connected to the electric valve 12. The upper section of the pipe 1 is installed on the water tank 8 and is fixed to the water tank 8 by the upper gasket 6, the lower gasket 7 and the first fixing nut 9. The bottom of the lower section of the pipe 2 is provided with a drain pipe 4, a drain mesh 5 and an electric valve 12. An infrared sensor switch is installed on the water tank 8 and electrically connected to the electric valve 12, which facilitates automatic discharge of the device. It eliminates the need for frequent manual dumping of garbage. Compared with the existing pulverized kitchen waste treatment device, which pulverizes the garbage and mixes it into the water, polluting the water and causing trouble for subsequent water purification treatment, it is not green, low-carbon and environmentally friendly.
[0022] Electric valves 12 are not limited to electric slide gate valves (knife gate valves), electric butterfly valves, electric ball valves, etc.
[0023] The top of the inner cavity of the upper section of the tube 1 is provided with a lower groove 11, and the cross-section of the lower groove 11 is a quarter circle. The lower groove 11 at the top of the upper section of the tube 1 facilitates the support of the cover on the upper section of the tube 1.
[0024] The upper section of the pipe 1 has a second external thread 14 on the outer side of its bottom, and the lower section of the pipe 2 has a second fixing nut 13 connected to its top. The second fixing nut 13 is connected to the second external thread 14. The upper section of the pipe 1 and the lower section of the pipe 2 are connected by the second fixing nut 13 and the second external thread 14, which facilitates the disassembly and connection of the upper section of the pipe 1 and the lower section of the pipe 2.
[0025] An infrared sensor switch is installed on the water tank 8 (the sensor switch is installed in any position on the water tank 8, so it is not shown in the drawing). The infrared sensor switch is electrically connected to the electric valve 12. Through the electrical connection between the infrared sensor switch and the electric valve 12, when the upper section of the pipe 1 and the lower section of the pipe 2 are full of garbage, the infrared sensor switch is manually covered, and the electric valve 12 opens. At this time, the garbage in the upper section of the pipe 1 and the lower section of the pipe 2 falls through the electric valve 12 under the action of gravity and is discharged into the garbage can placed below. When the infrared sensor switch is removed, the electric valve 12 automatically resets and closes.
[0026] The lower section of the pipe 2 has a drainage mesh 5 located on one side of the drainage pipe 4, which is intended to separate sewage from garbage and discharge the sewage from the drainage pipe 4.
[0027] The drain pipe 4 has an external thread on the side away from the lower section of the pipe 2. The external thread on the side of the drain pipe 4 away from the lower section of the pipe 2 facilitates the connection with the drain hose to introduce sewage into the sewer pipe.
[0028] The bottom of the lower section of the pipe 2 is sloped, and the angle between the bottom of the lower section of the pipe 2 and the horizontal plane is 15 degrees. The lower section of the pipe 2 is connected to the flange 3 and the electric valve 12 by the slope of the bottom, and the electric valve 12 is also tilted, which facilitates the complete discharge of kitchen waste and sewage.
[0029] Working principle: When using this device, the upper section pipe 1 and the lower section pipe 2 are connected by the second fixing nut 13 and the second external thread 14. Then, the upper section pipe 1 is fixed to the water tank 8 by the upper washer 6, the lower washer 7 and the first fixing nut 9. A trash can is placed below the electric valve 12. An infrared sensor switch is installed on the water tank 8 and is electrically connected to the electric valve 12. When the infrared sensor switch is not blocked, the electric valve 12 is in the closed state. At this time, trash is collected in the upper section pipe 1 and the lower section pipe 2, and sewage enters the drain pipe 4 through the drain mesh 5 on the lower side of the lower section pipe 2. The drain pipe 4 is connected to a drain hose, which is connected to the external sewage drain pipe to discharge the sewage into the drain pipe. Once the upper section 1 and lower section 2 are full of garbage, the infrared sensor switch is manually blocked, opening the electric valve 12. At this time, the garbage in the upper section 1 and lower section 2 falls and is discharged into the garbage bin placed below under the influence of gravity. Removing the infrared sensor switch will automatically reset and close the electric valve 12.
