[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, a garbage disposal apparatus according to the present invention has the following arrangement. That is, in a processing tank provided with a raw garbage input port on the upper part, in a processing apparatus for raw garbage in which a rotating shaft on which a stirring claw is planted is suspended, a downstream end of an air supply pipe for blowing warm air to the processing tank. Further, a partition is provided between the processing tank and an upstream end of an exhaust pipe for guiding the exhaust from the processing tank to the outside to prevent the hot air from being directly exhausted.

[0005] Here, the partition wall is formed of a plate-like body that hangs down from the upper end of the processing tank and extends to a position reaching the outer peripheral portion of the rotation trajectory of the stirring claw, and effectively and easily goes from the air supply pipe to the exhaust pipe. The flow path of the warm air may be isolated.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be applied to any garbage disposal apparatus in which a rotating shaft provided with a stirring claw is suspended in a processing tank provided with a garbage input port at the top. For example, put fermentation bacteria together with garbage in the treatment tank,
The present invention can be applied to a device for promoting the decomposition of garbage. However, in the following, a description will be given of a typical example of a device that sends hot air to garbage and performs a drying process. The configuration of the present invention can be appropriately changed in design without departing from the gist thereof.

1 and 2 are a front sectional view and a side sectional view of a garbage disposal apparatus according to the present invention. This device uses hot water sent from a hot water generation source such as a private power generation facility to send hot air to the garbage being stirred and to perform a drying process. The entire periphery of the device is covered with a cover case (11), and a plurality of casters (12) are attached to the lower surface thereof so that the device can move freely.

A processing tank (20) having a substantially U-shaped bottom is attached to a frame (13) provided upright on a bottom plate of the cover case (11). This processing tank (20)
On the upper surface of the garbage, a garbage input port (21), a door (22) for opening and closing the garbage, and an air supply pipe (40) for blowing hot air to the processing tank (20), a processing tank (20) An exhaust pipe (60) for guiding exhaust gas from the outside to the outside is provided, and a discharge port (23) for taking out a processing object to the outside is provided on a side surface of the processing tank (20). A jacket (24) through which warm water flows is formed at the bottom of the processing tank (20).

The processing tank (20) has a plurality of stirring claws (3
The implanted rotating shaft (31) of (0) is suspended substantially horizontally. The rotating shaft (31) has both ends penetrating through the side plate of the processing tank (20) and protruding out of the processing tank (20), and is rotatably supported by the frame (13). Then, it is rotated in a predetermined mode by a motor (32) attached to the frame (13).

Here, the garbage is located at the bottom of the processing tank (20) and is located at the downstream end of the air supply pipe (40), which is a hot air outlet, and at the exhaust pipe (60), which is a discharge outlet of exhaust gas. The upstream end is located on the upper surface of the processing tank (20). Due to its positional relationship and the characteristics of warm air that tends to move upward,
The warm air blown out from the air supply pipe (40) may be directly exhausted to the exhaust pipe (60) without sufficiently hitting the garbage. Therefore, in order to make effective use of the hot air, the present invention provides the downstream end of the air supply pipe (40) and the exhaust pipe (6).
A partition (62) is provided between the upstream end and the upstream end of (0) to prevent the warm air from being directly exhausted from the air supply pipe (40) to the exhaust pipe (60).

The partition (62) is a thin plate made of a metal such as iron or an elastic material such as rubber. The installation form is such that it hangs from one side wall of the upstream end of the exhaust pipe (60) located at the upper end of the processing tank (20) or from the vicinity thereof, and extends to a position reaching the outer peripheral portion of the rotation locus of the stirring claw (30). Let it. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 2, the lower part of the partition wall (62) has a shape in which a sector is cut off at a portion close to the stirring claw (30). The reason why the fan shape is cut out is to make it difficult for food waste to be clogged between the partition wall (62) and the stirring claw (30).

Extending the lower part of the partition (62) as long as possible has a higher effect of isolating warm air from the air supply pipe (40) directly to the exhaust pipe (60). However, when a large amount of garbage is contained or garbage having a long and bulky property is included, garbage is likely to be clogged between the partition (62) and the stirring claw (30). Therefore, the extent to which the lower part of the partition (62) is extended and the extent to which it is preferable to overlap the outer peripheral portion of the rotation trajectory of the stirring claw (30) is determined depending on the amount of stored garbage, the properties, and the degree of treatment. . In this embodiment, since the plate-like body (62a) provided with the slide means is provided below the partition (62), the partition (62) can freely expand and contract downward. As described above, according to the present invention, the flow path of the hot air from the air supply pipe (40) to the exhaust pipe (60) is effectively isolated with a simple configuration, and the hot air is sufficiently applied to the garbage for effective use. it can.

Further, in this embodiment, a hygrometer (61a) is provided near the exhaust port (61) in the exhaust pipe (60), and the humidity of the exhaust gas is detected. Generally, as the processing of garbage proceeds, the temperature of exhaust gas tends to increase.
However, when the warm air sent from the air pipe (40) is not so high from the beginning, the temperature of the exhaust gas does not increase so much even if the processing proceeds. Therefore, monitoring the humidity of the exhaust gas is used as an index of the degree of processing.

[0014]

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained by providing the above configuration. According to the garbage disposal apparatus according to claim 1, between the downstream end of the air supply pipe for blowing hot air to the processing tank and the upstream end of the exhaust pipe for guiding exhaust air from the processing tank to the outside. In addition, since a partition is provided, warm air is not directly exhausted from the air supply pipe to the exhaust pipe, but hits garbage sufficiently and is effectively used.

According to the apparatus for treating garbage according to the second aspect, since the partition wall extends downward to a position reaching the outer peripheral portion of the rotation trajectory of the stirring claw, it is possible to effectively transfer the gas from the air supply pipe to the exhaust pipe with a simple configuration. The flow path of the warm air going can be isolated.
