Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a recovery device for recovering cooking waste and pet feces that accumulate in the waste collector of a household sink or a commercial sink. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, for example, deep dust collectors are installed in household sinks and large commercial sinks installed in washing areas where dishes and utensils are washed and food is prepared in hotels, restaurants, hospitals, and food service centers. However, when a lot of cooking waste is generated or many dishes with a lot of waste are washed, the washing water and the dust collector quickly become full of waste. Therefore, the waste must be removed from both the washing water and the dust collector, but in order to remove the waste, all of the washing water must be drained. However, the waste blocks the dust collector's eyes and prevents the drainage, so the water cannot be drained quickly. Therefore, the waste is stirred up with hands or a stick to secure the drain of the dust collector and drain all of the washing water, but this takes time, the work is interrupted, and the washing water is wasted. Also, even if you try to remove the waste from the dust collector when the sink is filled with washing water, the diameter of the dust collector is small and you cannot get your hands in and you can hardly remove it, and even if you use a spoon-shaped object or a pincer, if the sink is filled with washing water, the waste is dispersed in the washing water during the process of collecting it, so you cannot collect much. If an attempt is made to remove the dust collector while it is still in the wash water and collect it, the dust will flow out along with the wash water into the drain while the dust collector is being removed, causing the grease trap to clog early, clogging the drain pipes, and allowing contaminated water to flow into the sewer system. Also, some trash collectors are larger in diameter, shallower, or equipped with bags or nets, but there is no denying that touching the trash directly with bare hands makes it feel dirty and unsanitary. Practical Application 1976-135044 The sink strainer is for cleaning the dust collector, not for collecting dust accumulated in the dust collector. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-287480 describes a dog feces collection device, but it uses multiple overlapping valves similar to a camera aperture and has a different structure and technology. To easily and hygienically collect garbage accumulated in a sink or garbage collector, regardless of the size, depth, or shallowness of a household sink or a commercial sink, whether the sink is filled with wash water or not, and further, the present invention can be used repeatedly to collect feces of pet animals.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Public Practical Application Showa 51-135044 [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 2005-287480 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] To provide a recovery tool which can easily and hygienically recover garbage accumulated in household sinks and commercial sinks in hotels, restaurants, hospitals, school lunch centers, etc., and garbage accumulated in garbage collectors, and which can also be repeatedly used to recover feces of pet animals, etc. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present invention is directed to a (a) outer tube made of synthetic resin or metal, and a (6) inner tube flange and (7) inner tube with a (2) large window around the tube for draining water, (3) a small window and (b) a protrusion on the inside at the bottom to prevent the inner tube from being pulled out too far, (4) an outer tube pull-out stopper on the outer tube side and a (5) basket-shaped valve that is elastic and can maintain its shape at the lower end opening, and (6) an inner tube flange and (7) inner tube with a flange on the outside of the upper part to prevent the inner tube from being pushed in too far. The recovery device is characterized in that it is composed of an inner tube (b) made of synthetic resin or metal, with a (8) inner tube pull-out stopper on the inner tube side that has a protrusion on the lower outside to prevent excessive pulling, and (9) a drain hole around the tube and a (10) pilot section with a slightly curved lower opening edge inward (9) around the inner tube, and the (b) inner tube is slidably fitted into the (a) outer tube, and by pushing and withdrawing the (b) inner tube, a (5) bucket-shaped valve in the shape of a chrysanthemum split at the opening at the lower end of the (a) outer tube opens and closes to store and recover the material in the (b) inner tube. Effect of the Invention

[0006] The recovery tool of the present invention can recover garbage accumulated in, for example, household sinks and commercial sinks in hotels, restaurants, hospitals, and food service centers, as well as garbage accumulated in the garbage collector, without draining the wash water or interrupting the washing work for a long time while draining. Furthermore, when draining, garbage that blocks the drainage can be removed in advance, so the drainage is completed quickly, making the washing work more efficient and saving water. In addition, simply inserting the recovery tool into the garbage collector and pulling it out can also clean clogged holes in the garbage collector, and has the effect of making the drainage faster.

[0007] The garbage can be collected from the garbage collector regardless of its size or depth, and while collecting garbage while the garbage collector is filled with wash water will get your hands dirty with the wash water, collecting garbage after the wash water has been drained does not require direct contact with the wash water or garbage, making it hygienic and free of a dirty feeling. The collected garbage can be easily discharged into a separate container, and cleaning usually requires only rinsing, but it can also be disassembled and cleaned. Also, unlike disposable garbage collection nets, it can be reused over and over again, and can be used not only to remove garbage from sinks and sinks, but also to collect pet feces and other debris. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0008] [Figure 1] 1 is an external perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. [Diagram 3] FIG. [Figure 4] FIG. [Diagram 5] FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 5, taking the example of collecting garbage from a kitchen sink or a commercial sink. Fig. 1 is an external perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is an external perspective view showing an outer tube of the present invention, which is disassembled to avoid overlapping parts in Fig. 1 making it difficult to see the details, Fig. 3 is an external perspective view showing an inner tube, Fig. 4 is an external perspective view showing the outer tube of Fig. 2 fitted with the inner tube of Fig. 3 to enable garbage collection, and Fig. 5 is an external perspective view showing an example of collecting garbage by storing it in the inner tube inside a sink garbage collector.

[0010] FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, in which the (1) outer tube flange extending outward from the upper opening edge of the (a) outer tube strengthens the upper opening edge of the (a) outer tube and acts as a handle when (b) pushing the inner tube into (a) the outer tube, or pulling it out and pushing it out. It also comes into contact with the protrusion of the (7) inner tube push-in inner tube side stopper to prevent the inner tube (b) from being pushed too far inside (a) the outer tube.

[0011] Figure 2 shows (a) the outer tube. Around the circumference of the tube at the bottom of the flange of the outer tube (1), there is a (2) large window and (3) small window. When waste is collected in the (b) inner tube, wash water also gets mixed in, so this wash water is quickly drained out of the (a) outer tube through the (9) drain hole of the (b) inner tube. Both the (2) large window and the (3) small window are larger than the (9) drain hole of the (b) inner tube. This is to prevent the (a) outer tube from blocking the (9) drain hole of the (b) inner tube even if the (b) inner tube rotates or is pushed out and moved inside the (a) outer tube. The reason for (3) being a small window is due to the limited space available for installation.

[0012] The (4) outer tube stopper for inner tube removal on the (a) outer tube is a protrusion that comes into contact with the (8) inner tube stopper for inner tube removal on the (b) inner tube to prevent the inner tube from being pulled out too far when the (b) inner tube is pushed inside the (a) outer tube to push open the chrysanthemum-shaped (5) bucket valve and store the waste inside the (b) inner tube to close the (5) bucket valve. In order for the (b) inner cylinder to open and close the chrysanthemum-shaped (5) bucket valve at the lower opening of the (a) outer cylinder, the (8) inner cylinder pull-out stopper must pass over the (4) inner cylinder pull-out outer cylinder side stopper and be fitted toward the tip. However, because both the (a) outer cylinder and the (b) inner cylinder are made of elastic synthetic resin or metal, by inserting them forcefully, the (8) inner cylinder pull-out inner cylinder side stopper can pass through the (4) inner cylinder pull-out outer cylinder side stopper. This is also effective for disassembling the (a) outer cylinder and the (b) inner cylinder for cleaning, but during normal use the (4) inner cylinder pull-out outer cylinder side stopper and the (8) inner cylinder pull-out inner cylinder side stopper come into contact and prevent either from being pulled out too far.

[0013] The (5) bucket valve in Fig. 2 is a chrysanthemum-shaped (5) bucket valve that is elastic and can maintain its shape in the normal state when the (b) inner cylinder inside the (a) outer cylinder is pulled upward, i.e., when garbage is collected. The stronger the elasticity, the easier it is to maintain its shape, but if it is too strong, a strong force is required to push the (b) inner cylinder to open the (5) bucket valve, which is not preferable. Conversely, if it is too weak, the shape cannot be maintained, and the opening cannot be closed completely, resulting in the contents being accidentally released. Therefore, a moderately balanced elasticity is required. In addition, the chrysanthemum-shaped cuts are made not only on the tip opening surface of the (a) outer cylinder, but also on the side of the tip in order to make it easier to maintain its shape and to make it easier to open and close, so that as soon as the bucket shape is formed, it quickly returns to its original shape and is easy to maintain its shape. In addition, gaps are provided between adjacent (5) bucket valves to aid in draining, and the tips are rounded rather than sharp to prevent damage to the dust collector or injury if fingers are accidentally pinched. This creates gaps at the tips of the (5) bucket valves, but not so large that the trapped dust will escape, and is effective for draining.

[0014] Fig. 3 is an external perspective view of the (b) inner cylinder, which is smaller in diameter than the (a) outer cylinder but longer in length to open and close the (5) bucket valve in the shape of a split chrysanthemum that is attached to the opening at the bottom end of the (a) outer cylinder in order to fit inside the (a) outer cylinder and push and pull it out, and the (6) inner cylinder flange that expands outward is attached to the edge of the upper opening of the cylinder, and functions as a handle for pushing and pulling the (a) outer cylinder up and down and for carrying the whole. In addition, the upper outside is equipped with a (7) inner cylinder push-in inner cylinder side stopper that is raised to prevent excessive pushing, and is used to contact the inner edge of the (a) outer cylinder flange (1) to stop the (5) bucket valve when it is fully opened by pushing inside the (a) outer cylinder. The (6) inner tube flange can be used to prevent excessive pushing, but a space is provided between the (1) outer tube flange and the (6) inner tube flange so that the (1) outer tube flange can be pushed in by inserting a finger into the space and flicking it downward while pulling out the (6) inner tube flange. Furthermore, the lower outside is equipped with (8) inner tube pull-out inner tube side stopper, which is a protrusion to prevent excessive pulling out when (b) the inner tube is pulled out from within (a) the outer tube, and which comes into contact with (4) inner tube pull-out outer tube side stopper of (a) the outer tube. As mentioned above, (8) inner tube pull-out inner tube side stopper usually needs to be located further forward than (4) inner tube pull-out outer tube side stopper, except for disassembly and cleaning, so it is possible to fit the inner tube by strongly inserting (b) into (a) the outer tube.

[0015] (b) The inner tube is provided with numerous (9) drain holes around it. When the garbage collector is used to collect garbage even in a sink or basin filled with wash water, the wash water gets mixed in with the garbage. The drain holes are provided to allow the wash water to be drained quickly when the garbage collector is pulled out of the wash water. In addition, the edge of the lower opening is slightly curved inward to form a tapered shape (10) for the following purposes: strengthening the edge of the lower opening; (b) pressing in the inner cylinder to make it easier to open the elastic, split-shaped (5) bucket valve at the opening of the lower end of the (a) outer cylinder; and (a) allowing the (5) bucket valve to slide quickly and close when closing the opening of the outer cylinder.

[0016] Figure 4 shows the state in which the (b) inner cylinder is fitted into the (a) outer cylinder and the (b) inner cylinder is pushed in to open the (5) bucket valve of the (a) outer cylinder, which is shaped like a split chrysanthemum, and is ready to collect the collected materials. The (5) bucket valve opens outward when the (b) inner cylinder is pushed in, and waits above the (10) pilot part of the (b) inner cylinder in the shape of a flat, crushed bucket that is not plate-shaped but bow-shaped and bulges outward slightly, but as the (b) inner cylinder is pulled out, its shape-retaining ability kicks in and the collected materials are scooped up into the (b) inner cylinder, which then closes. Figure 4 also shows the state in which the collected waste is ready to be discharged into another container.

[0017] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of garbage collection. The collection device of the present invention is inserted into the garbage collector of a sink or sink. (b) After garbage is collected in the inner tube, (b) the inner tube is pulled upwards and (5) the bucket valve is closed to collect the garbage. Alternatively, even garbage that is not in the garbage collector, such as (15), can be collected by placing a cover over the garbage and closing the bucket valve (5).

[0018] The material of the recovery tool of the present invention may be synthetic resin or metal, and the (2) large window, (3) small window, and (9) drainage hole for draining may be lattice-like or mesh-like instead of oval or round. The shapes of the (a) outer tube and (b) inner tube may be elliptical or prismatic instead of cylindrical. Furthermore, a transparent color is preferable because the recovery state, amount, and contents of the recovered materials can be visually observed, but if the color gives a feeling of dirt, it may be translucent or opaque.

[0019] Next, an embodiment will be described in which garbage is collected from a deep garbage collector installed in a household sink or a large commercial sink installed in a washing area where dishes and utensils are washed and food is processed in a hotel, restaurant, hospital, school lunch center, etc. First, fit the (b) inner tube into the (a) outer tube, make sure that the (8) inner tube pull-out inner tube side stopper is located ahead of the (4) inner tube pull-out outer tube side stopper, then place your (14) hand on the (6) inner tube flange as shown in Fig. 5, pull out the (1) outer tube flange with your fingers, push the (b) inner tube into the (a) outer tube, open the (5) bucket valve equipped at the (a) lower end opening of the outer tube, and fully open the (b) inner tube opening. Next, if you are collecting trash in a sink or basin filled with wash water, remove the water stop lid placed on the trash remover, and once the trash flows into the trash remover together with the wash water and accumulates inside, insert the collector of the present invention into the trash remover. When the garbage is collected in the (b) inner cylinder, the (1) flange of the outer cylinder is pressed in with a flick of the fingers, causing the elastic, shape-retaining, chrysanthemum-shaped (5) bucket valve to close rapidly, scooping the garbage into the (b) inner cylinder. The collector is then lifted from the garbage collector and placed over the wash water to drain the wash water that has mixed in with the garbage through the (9) drain hole in the (b) inner cylinder, the (2) large window (3) small window in the (a) outer cylinder, and the gap in the (5) basket valve. At this time, the collector is shaken up and down to further promote drainage, which allows for good drainage. Next, place it over a garbage disposal container and use your fingers to pull out the (1) outer cylinder flange, which opens the (5) bucket valve, allowing you to release the collected garbage. The same method can also be used to collect garbage that has accumulated in a sink or basin that is not filled with wash water, in a shallow garbage collector, or in places other than the garbage collector, and it can also be used as a garbage net by scooping up coarse garbage floating in the wash water from the upper opening of the inner tube (b) with the (5) bucket valve closed. It can also be used to collect pet feces using the same operation, and when collecting pet feces, if a plastic bag is placed over the feces or the tip of the inner tube on the collector side is placed over the feces, the collector will not be contaminated and it is hygienic because it does not need to be touched directly with bare hands.
