DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an answering machine control of a garbage disposal apparatus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional garbage processing apparatus includes a garbage processing section for fermenting and aging garbage, and a final residue after fermentation and aging processing by the same garbage processing section. After the fermentation and aging control for fermenting and aging the raw garbage in the garbage processing section, overflow control for transferring the final residue from the garbage processing section to the collection section is performed. I was

The garbage disposal section is provided with a garbage disposal tank for fermenting and maturing garbage inside the casing, and a charging lid is provided on the upper part of the garbage disposal tank so as to be openable and closable. A stirring means for fermenting and maturing the garbage while stirring the garbage was provided inside the garbage treatment tank.

If the loading lid is not opened and closed continuously for a predetermined time, for example, 72 hours, it is determined that the user is out of the office and the user is forced to open and close the loading lid next time. Answering machine control for intermittently operating the stirring means was performed.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional garbage disposal apparatus, if the charging lid has not been opened and closed continuously for a predetermined time, the state of the water inside the garbage disposal tank is not determined. In spite of this, the stirrer is forcibly operated intermittently to execute the answering machine control.

Therefore, even when the inside of the garbage disposal tank is in an over-moisture state, the answering machine control is executed, and the water inside the garbage is hardly diverged, and fermentation and aging of the garbage become difficult. There was a possibility that a problem such as the inability to perform smoothly could occur.

[0007]

Therefore, according to the present invention, a garbage disposal tank for fermenting and ripening garbage is disposed inside the casing, and a charging lid is provided on an upper portion of the garbage disposal tank. In the garbage disposal apparatus, which is provided so as to be openable and closable, and provided with a stirring means for fermentation and aging treatment while agitating the garbage inside the garbage disposal tank, the charging lid is continuously operated for a predetermined time. In the event that the garbage disposal tank is not opened and closed, it has an answering machine control that intermittently activates the stirring means until the input lid is opened and closed, and furthermore, the garbage disposal tank is provided by a moisture sensor provided inside the garbage disposal tank. When it is detected that the inside of the air conditioner is over-moisture, the answering machine control is not executed even if the charging lid is not opened and closed continuously for a predetermined time.

On the other hand, when the charging lid has not been opened and closed continuously for a predetermined time and the moisture sensor detects that the inside of the garbage disposal tank is no longer in an excessive moisture state, the answering machine control is executed. .

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A garbage disposal apparatus according to the present invention comprises:
A garbage disposal tank for fermenting and maturing garbage is provided inside the casing, and a charging lid is provided at the top of the garbage disposal tank so that it can be opened and closed. ,
A stirring means for fermentation and aging treatment while stirring the garbage is provided.

[0010] In the garbage disposal apparatus,
When the charging lid is not opened and closed continuously for a predetermined period of time, it has an answering machine control for intermittently operating the stirring means until the charging lid is opened and closed, and is provided inside the garbage disposal tank. When the moisture sensor detects that the inside of the garbage disposal tank is in an excessive moisture state, the answering machine control is not executed even if the charging lid has not been continuously opened and closed for a predetermined time.

Therefore, according to the present invention, when the inside of the garbage disposal tank is detected to be in an excessive moisture state by the moisture sensor provided inside the garbage disposal tank, the charging lid is not opened and closed continuously for a predetermined time. In this case, the answering machine control is not performed even when the processing is performed, so that when the processed material is in an excessively water state, the moisture of the processed material can be diverted, thereby facilitating the fermentation / aging process of the processed material. You can do it.

On the other hand, if the charging lid has not been opened and closed continuously for a predetermined time and the moisture sensor detects that the inside of the garbage disposal tank is no longer in an excessive moisture state, the answering machine control is executed. First,
After the water inside the processed product is diverted, the processed product is subjected to fermentation and aging treatment by answering machine control, so that the processed product can be smoothly and completely fermented and matured.

When the suction fan 72 is driven, the air inside the garbage disposal tank 39 flows from the upper end to the lower end of the exhaust pipe 75, and the air inside the garbage disposal tank 39 flows outside the casing 2. Is discharged.

At this time, due to the action of the exhaust gas flowing inside the exhaust pipe 75, the pressure inside the exhaust pipe 75 becomes higher than the external pressure, and a negative pressure is generated in the external air suction hole 78. External air is drawn into the exhaust pipe 75 from the external air suction hole 78.

As described above, by mixing the air with the odor inside the garbage disposal tank 39 flowing inside the exhaust pipe 75 and the air outside the exhaust pipe 75, the odor is diluted by the external air. The odor of the exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust pipe 75 can be reduced.

The garbage processing apparatus 1 is configured as described above, and processes garbage as described below (see FIGS. 8 and 9).

(Initial state) When the power supply 85 is turned on, the power supply LED provided on the operation panel 29 is turned on, and the control device 30 starts measuring elapsed time.

(Fermentation / Aging Control)
When the lid opening / closing detecting means 82 detects that the
That is, when it is detected that the charging lid 26 has been changed from the “closed state” to the “open state” and the “closed state” again, it is determined that the fresh garbage has been newly inserted into the garbage processing tank 39. The controller 30 performs the fermentation / ripening control.

That is, the control device 30 controls the stirring means 40 to rotate the stirring claw shaft 54 in reverse for 4 minutes, then stop for 5 seconds, forward for 6 seconds, and then stop for 25 minutes and 49 seconds. The 30-minute forward / reverse operation is repeated.

If the lid opening / closing detecting means 82 detects that the charging lid 26 has been changed from the "closed state" to the "opened state" during the fermentation / ripening control, the control device 30 When the rotation is temporarily stopped, and thereafter, the lid opening / closing detecting means 82 detects that the charging lid 26 has been changed from the `` open state '' to the `` closed state '', the control device 30 controls the stirring means 40. And the stirring claw shaft 54
Is stopped for 5 seconds, then reversed for 1 minute, stopped for 5 seconds, rotated forward for 6 seconds, stopped for 5 seconds, and then the operation before the opening and closing of the charging lid 26 is repeated again.

In this way, when the charging lid 26 is opened and closed during the fermentation / ripening control, it is determined that new garbage has been added, and the inside of the garbage processing tank 39 is stirred. Thereby, the fermentation / ripening of the freshly introduced garbage is performed at an early stage, and the time required for the fermentation / ripening treatment is shortened.

(Overflow Control) When the lid opening / closing detecting means 82 detects that the loading lid 26 has been opened and closed after a predetermined period of time, for example, 30 days after the power is turned on, that is, from the "closed state" of the loading lid 26 Opened and closed again
When the control device 30 detects that has elapsed, the control device 30 starts measuring elapsed time.

Then, the charging lid 26 is kept for a predetermined time, for example, 10 minutes.
If it is not opened and closed continuously for a long time,
Overflow control is performed to transfer the final residue inside 39 to the collection tray 62.

That is, the controller 30 controls the stirring means 40 to rotate the stirring claw shaft 54 forward for 2 minutes, then stop for 5 seconds, reverse for 6 seconds, and then stop for 7 minutes and 49 seconds. Perform forward / reverse operation for 10 minutes.

As described above, by making the forward rotation time of the stirring claw shaft 54 longer than the reverse rotation time, the final residue inside the garbage disposal tank 39 is recovered from the discharge port 49 through the recovery gutter 63 and recovered. It is transferred to the tray 62.

However, when the overflow control is performed once, the control device 30 starts measuring the elapsed time again.
Unless a predetermined time, for example, 10 hours, has elapsed after the previous overflow control, the overflow control is not performed again.

When the cover opening / closing detecting means 82 detects that the closing cover 26 has not been opened and closed continuously for a predetermined time, for example, 72 hours, the control device 30 opens and closes the closing cover 26 next. Until the answer, the answering machine control for intermittently operating the stirring means 40 is executed.

That is, the controller 30 controls the stirring means 40 to stop the stirring claw shaft 54 for 1 minute, reverse it for 1 minute, stop it for 5 seconds, rotate it for 6 seconds, and then
1 hour forward / reverse operation, such as stopping for 49 minutes, then reverse for 1 minute, stopping for 5 seconds, then rotating for 6 seconds, and then stopping for 58 minutes and 49 seconds To perform forward / reverse rotation operation. If the loading lid 26 is not opened and closed during this time, the above-described forward / reverse rotation operation for 2 hours is repeated 36 times (72 hours). In this 72 hours, the control device 30
The suction fan 72 of the exhaust means 70 only for 15 minutes after the rotation of 54 is started.
Activate

Further, if the charging lid 26 has not been opened or closed within the above 72 hours, the control device 30 sets the stirring means.
By controlling 40, the stirring claw shaft 54 is reversed for 1 minute, stopped for 5 seconds, and then rotated forward for 6 seconds, and then 5 hours 58 minutes 4
6-hour forward / reverse operation, such as stopping for 9 seconds,
The operation is performed until the input lid 26 is opened and closed. During this time, the control device 30 operates the suction fan 72 in synchronization with the rotation of the stirring claw shaft 54.

During the above-mentioned answering machine control, the controller 30 activates the heater 46 when the temperature sensor 86 detects that the temperature inside the garbage disposal tank 39 is lower than 24 degrees. When the temperature sensor 86 detects that the temperature inside the garbage processing tank 39 is 26 ° C. or higher, the operation of the heater 46 is stopped.

Further, when the control device 30 detects that the moisture inside the garbage processing tank 39 is in an over-moisture state equal to or higher than a preset value by the moisture sensor 85 provided inside the garbage processing tank 39. , The answering machine control described above is not executed.

On the other hand, when the controller 30 detects that the moisture inside the garbage disposal tank 39 has become equal to or less than the preset value by the moisture sensor 85,
When it is detected that the inside of 39 is no longer in the excessive moisture state, the above-mentioned answering machine control is executed.

This is because if the answering machine control is executed when the inside of the garbage disposal tank 39 is in an over-moisture state, the moisture inside the treated material becomes difficult to diverge, and the fermentation of the treated material becomes difficult. -If the inside of the garbage disposal tank 39 is in an over-moisture state, it is necessary to first evacuate the water inside the treated material, This is because the fermentation / ripening of the treated product can be smoothly and completely performed by performing the fermentation / ripening treatment of the treated product under control.

As described above, in this embodiment, the garbage disposal tank
Since it is determined whether or not to perform the answering machine control in accordance with the state of the water inside 39, the user may be away or if new garbage is not inserted for a long period of time. Even so, the garbage can be fermented and matured smoothly and completely.

[0072]

The present invention is embodied in the form described above and has the following effects.

In the present invention, when the inside of the garbage disposal tank is detected to be in an over-moisture state by the moisture sensor provided inside the garbage disposal tank, the charging lid is not opened and closed continuously for a predetermined time. However, since the answering machine control is not performed, when the processed material is in an over-moisture state, the water content of the processed material can be diverged, whereby the fermentation / ripening process of the processed material can be performed smoothly.

On the other hand, if the charging lid has not been opened and closed continuously for a predetermined time and the moisture sensor detects that the inside of the garbage disposal tank is no longer in an excessively wet state, the answering machine control is executed. First,
After the water inside the processed product is diverted, the processed product is subjected to fermentation and aging treatment by answering machine control, and the fermentation and aging of the processed product can be performed smoothly and completely.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is determined whether or not to perform the answering machine control in accordance with the state of the water in the garbage disposal tank. Even if new garbage is not introduced for a long period of time, garbage can be fermented and matured smoothly and completely.
