Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a clogging prevention device for a garbage net that is used by placing it over the garbage basket of a sink drain, mainly in a kitchen. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, when washing pots and pans by placing a garbage net over the sink drain, if there is viscous garbage mixed in the washing water, the garbage net will clog, hindering the flow of water and causing dirty water to accumulate in the sink. At present, there is nothing that can prevent this clogging. And currently there is nothing that can prevent this clogging. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Therefore, we set out to solve the problem of the aforementioned clogging of the garbage collection net placed over the garbage basket of the sink drain, and after investigating the cause, we concluded that it was due to the structure of the drain part, and we arrived at this invention as a means to eliminate this cause. The structure of the device called a drain trap attached to this drain outlet is as shown in Figure 3. Water is collected in part C inside the drain trap body, and a bowl 15 is placed there to block air flow between the inside of the drain trap and the sewer side.

[0005] Considering the structure of this drain trap, Water that flows into the drain trap from the sink side flows from part A through part B and part C to the sewer side. For example, if you wash a pot with scum on it while it is covered with a scum net, the viscous scum will stick to the net and completely cover the mesh. This will block the escape route for air in part B, which is sandwiched between the water in part A above and part C below, stopping the water flow and causing dirty water to accumulate in the sink. Therefore, the present invention provides an airway for releasing the air in the B section to the sink side. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention is an airway structure that is interposed between a garbage basket and a garbage collection net at the drain outlet of a sink, and is made up of a combination of shaped plates or pillars to ensure a compartment for air to pass through when water is running. The airway structure can be detachably attached to the dust basket, and can also be integral with the dust basket. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] The present invention has the following advantages due to the above-mentioned configuration. 1. By placing an airway structure between the dust basket and the dust net, the present invention allows the air in the drain trap to always escape to the sink side, even when flushing water containing viscous dust is poured, so the dust net does not become clogged and the flushing water flows smoothly. 2. The airway construct has a simple and small structure and can be provided at a very low cost. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] The dust net clogging prevention device of the present invention is not limited to the examples described below, and can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, i.e., within the range of shapes and dimensions that can achieve the same functional effects. [Example]

[0010] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. FIG. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of this embodiment, in which four plates 2, each having a straight line on three sides and a crescent-shaped cutout on one side, are combined in a cross shape to form the airway structure 1, and the effect of this crescent-shaped cutout will be explained in the explanation of FIG. 4.

[0011] Next, the left diagram of FIG. 2 shows the state in which the airway construct 1 is placed in the dust basket 13, and then the dust net is placed over it and installed in the drain trap.

[0012] Next, Figure 3 shows the state when the dust net clogging prevention device of the present invention is not in use. It is a cross-sectional view from sink 11 to drain trap 12 and piping 16. A dust net 21 is placed over dust basket 13 and installed on top of drain trap 12, and is normally used in this state. When flushing water containing viscous garbage is poured in this state, the water may flow normally at first, but the garbage will gradually adhere to the garbage net 21 from the bottom, causing clogging. When the entire surface of the garbage net is covered, the water flow will almost stop, and the user will have no choice but to lift part of the garbage net 21 above the water level with their fingers and let the water flow.

[0013] Next, FIG. 4 shows the state in which the airway constructing body 1, which is the dust net clogging prevention device of the present invention, is in use, in which the airway constructing body 1 is placed approximately in the center of the dust receiving basket 13, and the dust net 21 is placed on top of it. When used in this state, when viscous wash water is poured in as shown in the figure, it appears that dirt accumulates in the bottom of the dirt basket 13, but little dirt adheres to the dirt collection net 21 on the side of the dirt basket 13, and all the water flows away, leaving only the dirt. And what is important is that the top of the airway structure does not get submerged when washing water is poured. For this reason, one side of the shape plate is hollowed out to form a curve 4, so that when water is poured, the dust collection net 21 is pushed by the water flow. This effect is described in the explanation of Figure 3 as "picking up part of the litter net 21 above the water surface with one's fingers and letting the water flow," and the airway structure 1 is performing this human action.

[0014] Theoretically, in Figure 3, if viscous washing water flows from the sink side into part A and causes a complete blockage, the top and bottom will be blocked by the blockage in part A and the accumulated water in part C inside the drain trap 12, and there will be no place for air to escape in part B, so the washing water will no longer flow. The function of the airway forming plate will now be explained with reference to Figures 4 and 5. First, FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line bb in FIG. 4, showing the state in which the airway 3 is formed by the dust collection net 21 covered with adhering dust 22 and the four shaped plates 2·2·2·2 of the airway constructor.

[0015] Returning to Figure 5, it shows that air flows through the path 3 provided by the airway structure 1 from part B inside the drain trap to the sink side. This allows the air inside the drain trap to flow to the outside, preventing clogging of the dust collection net. is. In addition, in the explanation so far, this airway constituent 1 has been placed in the dust basket 13, but it is also possible to provide a convex part 10 on the side of the airway constituent 1 and provide a fixing hole 14 in the bottom surface of the dust basket 13 to fit the convex part 10, so that the airway constituent 1 can be freely attached and detached.

[0016] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In FIG. 6, a flange 7 is provided on the underside of a pipe-shaped body 6, and the inside of the body 6 serves as an airway 3, and the operation and effect are the same as in the first embodiment. All of the embodiments of the present invention are made of copper, which allows for the antibacterial properties of copper to help maintain cleanliness.

[0017] Next, the third embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In FIG. 7, the airway forming body 7 is provided integrally with the dust basket 13, and the operation and effect are the same as those of the first embodiment.

[0018] Next, a fourth embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In the case of FIG. 8, the airway forming body 1 is also provided integrally with the dust basket 13, and the operation and effect are the same as those of the first embodiment. [Explanation of symbols]
