Description

Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a garbage disposal device for incinerating garbage such as kitchen garbage with a microwave.

2. Description of the Related Art In general, garbage processing equipment includes those that burn with gas, those that compress and crush, and those that ferment, but all of these are used at home for reasons such as noise, foul odor, and degree of weight loss. It was unsuitable as a thing.

Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have considered a garbage processing device using microwaves. Hereinafter, this garbage processing device will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a main body which is a microwave resonator, and a cylindrical processing container 7 is arranged in the main body 1. An igniter 16 that generates heat by microwaves is provided on the inner bottom of the processing container 7. In addition, both the kitchen 8 and the igniter 16 which have been thrown into the processing container 7 through the front opening 9 of the main body 1 are connected from the microwave generator 2 to the waveguide 3,
Heated by microwaves introduced into the main body 1 through the supply port 4, heat generated by the internal heating of the kitchen 8 itself, and the igniter.
The heat generated by 16 is used to incinerate and reduce the amount of air, and the air required for combustion is introduced by the air supply blower 5 through the air supply port 6, and the exhaust gas generated by combustion enters the exhaust gas purification unit 14 through the exhaust port 10 and the flue 11. Well, it was heated by the preheated exhaust gas heater 12, then purified by the catalyst 13 and exhausted by the exhaust blower 15.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in such a conventional configuration, since the bottom surface of the processing container 7 has a flat cylindrical shape, when the kitchen waste 8 is inserted,
Or, as the dehydration progresses and the weight is reduced, the kitchen garbage
There is a problem in that a portion further away is generated, ignition becomes difficult, and processing is delayed. In addition, when a foreign matter such as tempura oil is mistakenly entered, there is a problem that a smoldered state occurs in a portion away from the igniter 8 and an explosive gas causes an explosion.

The present invention solves such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a safe garbage disposal that improves ignition performance, shortens processing time, and does not explode.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve this problem, the kitchen waste processing apparatus of the present invention is provided with an igniter that generates heat by microwaves at the inner bottom portion of the processing container into which kitchen garbage is put, and at least the side surface or The bottom surface is inclined toward the igniter.

Action With this configuration, the thrown kitchen waste is collected toward the igniter along the side surface or the bottom slope of the processing container. Then, the kitchen itself is internally heated by the microwave, and is double heated and dried by the heat from the igniter which is heated by the microwave. As the drying progresses, the kitchen waste further
The volume decreases while being collected in the direction of the igniter along the inner surface or the slope of the bottom surface of the processing container, and is ignited and burned by the igniter that is already red.

Also, when miscellaneous substances such as salad oil are mistakenly entered, the liquid is converted into a low-viscosity liquid by heating by the microwave, and is collected along the inner surface of the processing container or the slope of the bottom surface toward the igniter and ignited and burned.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. The same parts as those of the conventional configuration shown in FIG. 3 are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. In FIG.
A processing container 7a is arranged in the main body 1 which is a microwave resonator, and an igniter 16 made of a microwave-permeable heat-resistant inorganic sintered body is provided at the inner bottom portion of the processing container 7a.
The side surface and the bottom surface of the processing container 7a are inclined toward the igniter 16 and have a serrated shape.

In the above-mentioned structure, the kitchen waste 8 is thrown into the processing container 7a of the mortise type through the charging port 9 of the main body 1. The thrown kitchen waste 8
Is the igniter along the inner slope of the squirrel-type processing container 7a.
Collected in 16 directions. And the magnetron generator 2
When a current is applied to the microwaves, microwaves are generated and introduced into the main body 1 through the waveguide 3 and the supply port 4. The microwave acts on the kitchen waste 8 and the igniter 16 at the same time, and is internally heated and dried. As the drying progresses, the kitchen waste 8 located in the center of the processing container 7a is reduced in weight and becomes lower in height, and falls naturally toward the igniter 16; however, the kitchen waste 8 located near the side surface of the processing container 7a As the amount is reduced, it is gradually collected in the direction of the igniter 16 along the inner slope of the processing container 7a, and the igniter 16 that is already red-hot performs ignition combustion.

FIG. 2 shows how the kitchen waste 8 is moved before and after the conventional example and the present example. That is, in the case of the conventional example shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), the kitchen 8 is moved vertically as the kitchen waste is reduced, and the kitchen 8 closer to the side surface is separated from the igniter 16 and thus has an ignitability. Although it is bad, as shown in FIGS. 2 (c) and 2 (d), in the case of this embodiment, the garbage gathers in the direction of the igniter surely, so that the ignitability is improved.

In this embodiment, the processing container in which the side surface and the bottom surface are inclined has been described, but either one of the side surface and the bottom surface may be inclined to collect the garbage in the igniter direction.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, as is apparent from the above description of the embodiments, by inclining the side surface or the bottom surface of the processing container into which the garbage is thrown, when the garbage is thrown, the dehydration progresses and the weight is reduced. , Or a foreign object such as tempura oil, which becomes a liquid with low viscosity when heated, is collected naturally toward the igniter and is ignited and burned. The smoldering state can be reduced and the ignitability can be improved.

Therefore, the concentration of the combustible gas that has already occurred is reduced, and it is possible to prevent the explosion, and it is possible to provide a kitchen waste disposal device that is safe and has a short processing time.
