2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, garbage disposers for treating garbage using microorganisms such as bacteria have been developed. In such a garbage disposer, it is necessary to put garbage into the garbage disposer, but when there is no space for installing the garbage disposer in a place where garbage is generated, such as a kitchen or a kitchen. ,
It was necessary for a person to transport garbage from a kitchen or the like to a processor. For this reason, only an input section for inputting garbage is provided at a place where garbage is generated, and the input section is connected to a processing section installed at a position remote from the garbage generation place (for example, outdoors) through a transport path. A garbage disposal apparatus has been developed in which garbage introduced into the input section is transported to a processing section through a transport path. Such a garbage disposal apparatus includes a type in which garbage introduced into an input port is transported to a processing unit by a flow of water flowing through a transport path, and a type in which garbage is transported to a processing unit by a flow of air flowing through a transport path. (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-8521
No. 7 publication).

[0003]

However, in an apparatus that uses the flow of water to convey garbage, it is necessary to discharge the water flowing into the processing unit together with the garbage from the processing unit. Drainage equipment had to be provided. On the other hand, in the device using the flow of air, although it is not necessary to provide a drainage device in the treatment section, garbage is more likely to adhere to the pipe wall of the transport path than in the case of using water,
There was a case where garbage was clogged in the middle of the transport path.
In particular, when the transport path is long, or when the transport path cannot be arranged in a straight line and is bent, the problem that garbage is clogged in the middle of the transport path has been significant.

e and 24f are ejected in the direction shown in FIG.
Although only a and 24d are shown, other spouts have the same structure. As shown in FIG. 2, air ejected from the ejection port flows in the direction in which the garbage is conveyed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the air stream ejected from the ejection port (FA in FIG. 3). (Shown) flows while rotating along the pipe wall of the transfer pipe 27. As described above, in the present embodiment, since the air flow ejected from the second ejection portions 22b and 22c flows in the transport direction while turning,
The flow velocity of the air near the pipe wall can be increased, and as a result, garbage hardly accumulates on the pipe wall of the transport pipe 27.

The above-described first ejection section 20 and second ejection section 2
An air supply unit 12 that supplies air to the air supply units 2b and 22c includes a compressor 14 and air storage units 18a, 18b, and 18c that temporarily store air compressed by the compressor 14.
And Compressor 14 and each air storage unit 18
a, 18b and 18c are connected by an air supply pipe 15, and a valve 16 is provided in the air supply pipe 15.
The air storage section 18a is connected to the first ejection section 20 via the air supply pipe 17a, and the air storage section 18b is connected to the second ejection section 22b via the air supply pipe 17b.
The air storage part 18c is connected to the second ejection part 22c via the air supply pipe 17c. Each air supply pipe 17a, 17

A flow switching valve is provided. The compressor 14, the valve 16, the pressure regulator, and the flow rate switching valve described above are connected to the control unit 10, and the control unit 10 controls the ejection unit 20, the second ejection units 22b, and 22c.
The pressure, flow rate, and the like of the air ejected from the hopper are controlled.

The configuration of the garbage disposal apparatus according to the present invention has been described above. Hereinafter, the operation will be described. The worker throws garbage into the storage container 6 from the slot 4 shown in FIG. The thrown garbage is moved by gravity to the feeding means 8 arranged below the storage container 6. The operator is the control unit 1
When a switch 0 (not shown) is turned on, the feeding means 8 (disposer 8a) starts operating, and the garbage is crushed by rotation of the crushing rotor of the disposer 8a and sent out into the transport pipe 27.

At about the same time as the operation of the disposer 8a is started, air is blown out of the blowout section 20 of the air supply section 12 into the ventilation pipe 27a. More specifically, the air compressed by the compressor 14 is supplied and stored in the air storage section 18a. At the same time as the operation of the disposer 8a is started by the operation of the control unit 10, the control unit 10
Controls the pressure regulator and the flow rate switching valve disposed in the air supply pipe 17a, and the air whose pressure and flow rate have been controlled is
The ejection ports 34a, 34b, 34c, 34d of the ejection section 20,
The air is ejected to the ventilation tube 27a via 34e and 34f. As a result, the garbage sent into the transport pipe 27 by the sending means 8 starts moving toward the processing unit 28 by the flow of air FA from the ejection unit 20 to the processing container 30. Therefore, the garbage sent out from the feeding means 8 is conveyed along with the air toward the processing container 30 as it is in the conveying pipe 27 without stagnating in the coupling portion 27b.

The garbage conveyed in the conveying pipe 27 is
As it moves away from the jetting part 20, it begins to adhere and accumulate on the inner wall surface of the transport pipe 27. The garbage adhering and accumulating on the inner wall of the transport pipe 27 is given a force to move toward the processing unit 28 by the air flow ejected from the second ejection units 22b and 22c. That is, by controlling the pressure regulators and the flow rate switching valves disposed in the air supply pipes 17b and 17c, the air whose pressure and flow rate has been controlled can be supplied to the second ejection section 22b,
It is ejected intermittently or continuously into the transport pipe 27 from 22c. Thereby, the garbage adhered and deposited on the tube wall is peeled off from the tube wall, and the peeled garbage is returned to the processing unit 28.
Move towards. Therefore, the garbage is transported to the processing container 30 without clogging the garbage in the transport pipe 27.

The garbage conveyed to the processing container 30 is mixed with the garbage fermentation material by rotating stirring blades (not shown), and is decomposed. The gas generated by the fermentation and the air blown into the processing vessel 30 from the transport pipe 27 are exhausted from the exhaust pipe 32, so that the internal pressure of the processing vessel 30 does not increase due to these gases. Therefore, the air flow FA does not weaken, and the force for transporting the garbage does not weaken. The garbage decomposed in the processing container 30 is taken out after being stored in the processing container 30 in a certain amount. The extracted garbage can be used as compost in kitchen gardens and the like.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the disposer 8a starts operating, the ejection unit 2
The 0 and the second ejection portions 22b and 22c start operating. The garbage sent from the disposer 8a is conveyed to the second ejection part 22b by the air flow FA from the ejection part 20, and the garbage conveyed to the second ejection part 22b is supplied from the second ejection part 22b. A force that moves in the transport direction is applied by the ejected air flow. As a result, the second ejection part 22
The garbage sent from b is conveyed to the second ejection part 22c, and the garbage conveyed to the second ejection part 22c is applied with a force to move in the conveyance direction by the airflow ejected from the second ejection part 22c. . As described above, in the present embodiment, every time the garbage reaches the second ejection portions 22b and 22c, the force is applied to the garbage by the airflow ejected from the second ejection portions 22b and 22c, and the garbage is transported to the processing container 30. Is done. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the transfer pipe 27 from being clogged with garbage.

The positions of the second jetting portions 22b and 22c are almost immediately before the garbage is conveyed (when the garbage adheres to the garbage), a force sufficient to convey the garbage cannot be secured.
It is preferably provided at a position (immediately before the position where the deposition is started). In particular, when the transport pipe 27 is bent, the second ejection portion is provided near the bent position, and more preferably, on the near side where the transport pipe 27 is bent with respect to the traveling direction of the garbage to be transported. Is preferably provided. The position of the second ejection portion can also be determined by an experiment or the like.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, six ejection ports are provided in the ejection section 20, but the number is not limited to six and one or more ejection ports may be provided. I just need. Further, the position of the ejection port is not limited to the form shown in FIG. 4, and may be provided so as to blow into the ventilation pipe 27a from the wall surface of the ventilation pipe 27a as in the case of the second ejection sections 22b and 22c.

The transfer pipe 2 used in the embodiment of the present invention
In 7, in the middle between both ends, two second ejection parts are provided, but the number is not limited to two. Further, the number of the ejection ports provided in the second ejection sections 22b and 22c does not need to be limited to six, and may be one or more.

In the above-described embodiment, the disposer 8a starts operating when the operator turns on a switch (not shown) of the control unit 10. A sensor for sensing may be provided on the inner wall of the storage container 6, and the disposer 8a may start operating by the sensing.

Further, the transport device provided with the second ejection section according to the above-described embodiment not only transports garbage, but also
It can also be used when transferring other solids. In particular, it is effective to use when conveying a conveyed material having high viscosity and easily adhering to the tube wall.
