[0011]
【Example】
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, FIG. 1 shows an airframe 1 which is made of metal, has a kitchen waste processing chamber 2 inside, and has a deodorizing chamber 3 and a heating chamber 4 beside it. Of these, the deodorizing chamber 3 is located at the upper part, communicates with the kitchen waste processing chamber 2 by the upper communication port 5, communicates with the outside of the machine body 1 by the exhaust port 6, and between them, the exhaust fan 7 and A deodorizer 8 is provided.
[0012]
On the other hand, the heating chamber 4 is located at a lower part, communicates with the outside of the machine body 1 through an intake port 9, and communicates with the garbage processing chamber 2 through a lower communication port 10, between which an intake fan 11 and a heater 12 are connected. It is arranged.
[0013]
In addition, the kitchen waste processing chamber 2 is provided with a heat insulating wall 14 at an inner peripheral portion except for the upper communication opening 5 and the lower communication opening 10 and an upper opening 13 which is a kitchen waste input port. Has a lid 15 pivotally mounted. A processing bag 16 and an outer bag 17 are disposed in the kitchen waste processing chamber 2. Of these, the processing bag 16 is made of a flexible bag made of, for example, polyethylene, and the outer bag 17 is made of a more durable material such as a synthetic fiber bag or a flexible net bag made of metal wire (see FIG. 2). ).
[0014]
The outer bag 17 is also provided with a plastic or metal frame 18 at the mouth thereof, and the frame 18 is formed with an appropriate number of holes 19 at appropriate intervals. On the other hand, the same number and positions of the stop pins 20 shown in FIG. 3 are formed at the edge of the upper opening 13 of the kitchen waste processing chamber 2, and the holes 20 of the frame 18 are The outer edge 17 is supported together with the processing bag 16 by sandwiching the edge of the mouth therebetween and fitting together.
[0015]
Further, a stirrer 21 is provided in the lower part of the kitchen waste treatment chamber 2. The stirrer 21 moves in a straight line upward by, for example, a plurality of cylinders 22 buried in the heat insulation wall 14 and raised by air pressure or hydraulic pressure from the cylinders 22 to move the outer bag 17 upward. It consists of a piston 23 which presses the processing bag 16 through. In this case, the piston 23 may be raised by a motor.
[0016]
Now, in the case of the above-described configuration, in processing the garbage, the lid 15 is opened, a processing medium 16 such as sawdust is stored in the processing bag 16, and a microorganism for decomposing the garbage is further stored. Then, the garbage is stored, the lid 15 is closed, and a start switch (not shown) is operated. Then, the agitating device 21 operates, the intake fan 11 and the heater 12 operate, and the exhaust fan 7 operates.
[0017]
Meanwhile, in the stirring device 21, the piston 23 rises and presses the processing bag 16 via the outer bag 17. FIG. 4 shows the situation at this time, in which the central piston 23 in the figure rises and presses the processing bag 16, and the other pistons 23 are still in the lowered position and do not press the processing bag 16. However, thereafter, the piston 23 at the center in the figure moves down to release the processing bag 16, and instead, the other piston 23 moves up and presses the processing bag 16. Then, after that, the piston 23 at the center in the figure rises to press the processing bag 16, and the other pistons 23 descend to release the processing bag 16. By repeating this, the processing bag 16 is alternately pressed from the center of the bottom and from the left and right, and the inside sawdust 24, microorganisms and garbage are stirred.
[0018]
As the garbage is agitated and vigorously comes into contact with the microorganisms in this way, the garbage is decomposed by the microorganisms and eventually turns into water, except for eggshells, shells and other non-degradable materials. At this time, the air in the processing bag 16 passes through the upper communication port 5, further passes through the deodorizer 8, and is discharged from the exhaust port 6 to the outside of the machine 1 by the operation of the exhaust fan 7. The water in the processing bag 16 is actively evaporated by the flow and discharged out of the machine body 1. Further, at this time, by the operation of the intake fan 11 and the heater 12, as shown in FIG. 1, warm air is supplied into the garbage processing chamber 2 where the processing bag 16 exists (outside the processing bag 16), and the garbage generated by microorganisms is supplied. And the evaporation of water in the processing bag 16 are promoted.
[0019]
It is sufficient that kitchen waste is continuously stored in the processing bag 16 and microorganisms may be replenished as needed. Further, when the number of eggshells, shells, and the like that cannot be decomposed in the processing bag 16 increases, the sawdust 24 may be replaced to newly accommodate microorganisms.
[0020]
As described above, in this configuration, the flexible processing bag 16 that is disposed in the kitchen waste processing chamber 2 of the machine body 1 and accommodates the microorganisms that decompose and decomposes the kitchen waste and that stores the kitchen waste is externally pressed by the stirring device 21. Thereafter, by repeating the release, the microorganisms and the garbage in the processing bag 16 can be agitated, and the agitating device 21 is in contact with the garbage, unlike the stirring blade rotated in the conventional processing container. Since there is no such thing, the garbage is not entangled with the garbage and causes a lock, so that the trouble of repairing the garbage can be omitted and the maintenance can be facilitated.
[0021]
In addition, there is no need to operate the agitator 21 with a particularly large power because there is no fear of locking due to the garbage of the garbage and there is no such a high load as rotating the conventional processing container itself. The power unit can be reduced in size and cost can be reduced.
In addition, when discharging the contents in the processing bag 16, the contents can be easily discharged without disturbing the conventional stirring blade.
[0022]
Further, by providing a flexible outer bag 17 made of a material that is stronger than the processing bag 16 and covering the processing bag 16, the microorganisms and garbage inside the processing bag 16 can be stirred as desired, while the external The processing bag 16 can be protected against pressure. In addition, in this case, the heating effect of the processing bag 16 is not spoiled particularly by using the outer bag 17 as a net bag.
[0023]
On the other hand, if the hole 19 of the frame 18 is extracted from the pin 20 at the edge of the upper opening 13 of the kitchen waste processing chamber 2 and the processing bag 16 is extracted from the pin 20, the processing bag 16 can be taken out of the kitchen waste processing chamber 2. Accordingly, the contents in the processing bag 16 can be taken out and discharged together with the processing bags 16, and the discharge of the contents can be performed more easily.
[0024]
In addition, since the stirring device 21 is configured to press the processing bag 16 in a straight-ahead operation, it is possible to strongly stir microorganisms and garbage in the processing bag 16, and the structure of the stirring device 21 is changed to the cylinder 22. And the piston 23, and the cost can be further reduced.
[0025]
On the other hand, FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a cylinder 22 and a piston 23 are provided so as to press the processing bag 16 from both left and right outer sides. By doing so, the microorganisms and garbage in the processing bag 16 can be more actively stirred.
[0026]
FIG. 6 shows a third embodiment of the present invention, in which a stirrer 25 which presses the processing bag 16 by a rotating operation is used. Can exert a smooth stirring force on the microorganisms and kitchen waste, and the stirring can be performed more conveniently.
[0027]
The operation of the stirring devices 21 and 25 may be performed only for a certain period of time after the kitchen waste is stored, or may be constantly performed by intermittent operation. Further, the outer bag 17 is not limited to the net bag, but may be simply a material having high air permeability or heat conductivity. Furthermore, kitchen waste may be decomposed only by microorganisms and discarded. Therefore, the exhaust fan 7, the deodorizer 8, and the intake fan 11 and the heater 12 may be provided only when necessary.
In addition, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above and shown in the drawings, and can be implemented with appropriate modifications without departing from the scope of the invention.
[0028]
