DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a garbage disposal method for decomposing garbage generated in restaurants, food processors and the like, and more particularly to an improvement in processing efficiency and energy consumption when used for business use. The present invention relates to a control system and a control device for a garbage processor that can be effectively used, a recording medium, and a management system for the garbage processor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10 (1998) discloses a method for decomposing garbage generated in households, restaurants, food processors, and the like, including food waste including vegetables and fruit scraps, bones and shells of seafood, and the like.
A so-called garbage disposer (garbage disposer) as described in JP-A-216665 has been proposed.

The garbage disposer according to the prior art receives a medium (cultivation base material) carrying microorganisms in a container (treatment tank) and rotates a stirring means (stirring blade) to remove the garbage in the treatment tank. The garbage is decomposed into gas and water by the decomposing action of microorganisms in the cultivation substrate by stirring and mixing with the cultivation substrate, thereby reducing the volume and weight (or extinction) of the garbage. is there. During operation, heat required for the action of decomposing microorganisms is supplied by the heating means (heater), and gas and water vapor in the processing tank are exhausted to the outside by the exhaust means (exhaust fan).

In this prior art, the temperature in the treatment tank and the operation time of the heater are measured as state quantities related to the operation state of the garbage disposer at the time of the above operation, and the measured data is transmitted via a telephone line. It is possible to transmit to an external terminal by the information communication.

[0005]

In the context of recent waste recycling (recycling), the "Law Concerning the Promotion of Recycling of Food Recyclable Resources" (the so-called Food Recycling Law) was also issued in 2000 on foods. Promulgated on the moon, 20
It is expected to take effect within 2001. According to the Food Recycling Law, among businesses (restaurants, food processing companies, etc.) that generate commercial garbage (food waste), those who generate a particularly large amount (for example, several tens tons to several hundred tons or more per year) For, it is surely obligated to reduce the amount of garbage generated by a predetermined ratio (for example, 20 to 30%) within a predetermined period (for example, within five years) from the enforcement of the law. Under these trends, the rapid spread of kitchen garbage disposers, especially for business use, is expected.

[0006] In such a commercial garbage processing machine, the characteristic of its use environment is that the fluctuation of the amount of garbage input (processing amount) becomes larger than that of a general household garbage processing machine, and It is strongly desired that stoppage be avoided.
There are two characteristics.

[0007] Fluctuations in the amount of garbage that can be processed, that is, general household garbage processing machines process relatively small amounts of garbage generated daily from homes, so that the machines themselves are small in size and can be processed originally. Since the maximum amount of waste input is also relatively small, the fluctuation does not increase. Therefore, for example, there is little need to change the operating performance (operating mode) characteristics of the garbage disposer according to the amount of garbage input, and there is not much problem in actual use even with a single operating performance characteristic.

On the other hand, commercial garbage processing machines are:
The maximum value of the input amount of garbage that can be processed is large, and since the target is food, there are seasonal and eater tastes, and the fluctuation of the entire processing amount due to the season and weather increases. So, for example,
Assuming a single operating performance characteristic regardless of the amount of garbage input, the processing efficiency may be significantly reduced or the waste of energy may be significantly increased depending on the processing amount.

Avoidance of Shutdown In the case of a household garbage disposer, the garbage disposer must be kept running or stopped in the case of going out for a long time or traveling. In the former case (continuation of operation), the garbage that has already been thrown in may be completely erased during the absence, resulting in wasteful operation. However, since it is a small machine, the energy consumption is not so large, and it is actually used. It is unlikely that this will be a problem. In the latter case (operation shutdown), the activity of microorganisms that decompose garbage is generally gradually reduced when left unattended for a long period of time (due to lack of oxygen and water). For some time afterwards, it cannot be said that there is no possibility that the degradation ability of the microorganisms is slightly reduced. However, in the case of home use, since the processing amount itself is not so large as described above, the operation of the garbage processing machine should be stopped during the period when no garbage is generated, except for a case where the amount of garbage is extremely long. However, there is no significant effect on the decomposition processing performance when the operation is restarted thereafter.

On the other hand, in the case of a commercial garbage disposer, the amount of treatment is zero on non-operation days (for example, holidays in restaurants, Saturdays and holidays for food processors, summer holidays, new year holidays, etc.), Since a large amount of garbage must be treated again on a working day, it is necessary to prevent the above-mentioned decrease in the activity of the microorganism, and shutting down the operation is not preferable. Therefore,
Assuming a single operation performance characteristic, even on such a day when the processing amount is zero, the same operation as on a normal operation day is performed, and waste of energy is large. In addition, there is a possibility that only water evaporates and the habitat of microorganisms is deteriorated.

Here, in the above-mentioned prior art, as described above, the garbage processor is configured to be able to output data to an external terminal through information communication, but the garbage processor can be remotely operated from the outside. Is not configured so that the operating performance (operating mode) characteristics of the garbage disposer can be changed in accordance with the throughput and other needs of the user.
Therefore, as described above, there is a problem in that when used for business where the fluctuation of the processing amount is large and the operation is difficult to stop, the efficiency is remarkably reduced and energy is wasted as described above.

The present invention has been made on the basis of the above-mentioned matters, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to change the operation performance characteristics of a garbage disposer by remote control according to the throughput and other needs of a user.

Next, the basic operation of the garbage disposer having the above configuration will be described.

When performing the garbage disposal, first, the medium input switch 16a1 of the operation panel operation section 16a is turned on to make the control device 15 recognize that the medium is input, and then the input lid 5 is opened and the processing is started from the input port 3. The medium 4 supporting microorganisms is charged and accommodated in the container 2. Thereafter, similarly, the garbage input switch 16a2 is turned on to cause the control device 15 to recognize the input of garbage, and then the garbage is input from the input port 3 (not shown).
And closing the charging lid 5. After that, the heating device 6 electrically warms the medium 4 via the processing container 2 to realize an optimal temperature environment for exerting the microorganism decomposing function, and the driving device 1
9 is transmitted via the chain 21 to the stirring means 17.
Is rotated, and the inputted garbage and the medium 4 are stirred by the stirring means 17.
The mixture is stirred and mixed by a stirring rod 17b. Further, at this time, the air in the processing container 2 is discharged to the outlet 8a while the outside air is taken into the processing container 2 from the suction port 8b at the upper part of the processing container 2.
Then, the air in the processing container 2 is circulated by discharging the air to the outside through the chimney 12 after deodorizing by the deodorizing device 11. As described above, the contact frequency between the microorganisms in the medium 4 and the garbage and the contact frequency between the microorganisms and the oxygen in the fresh air are increased, and the garbage is efficiently decomposed by the action of the microorganisms.

The garbage put into the processing container 2 is decomposed by such a basic operation, and when the garbage is decomposed and disappears or is reduced in volume to some extent, the garbage is sequentially removed by the same operation as described above. Additional input and further disassembly processing. In addition, when the function of the microorganisms carried on the medium 4 is reduced (deteriorated) due to the repetition of the decomposition process, the medium 4 is appropriately replaced or additionally charged by the same operation as described above.

The main part of the present invention is as follows. In the operation of the garbage disposal machine as described above, the user inputs operation from the personal computer 101 in the building 102, and the control device 15 performs the garbage disposal according to the operation signal. Control of the operation of the machine 100, and in the operation control, the "operation mode"
Is selected, the operating performance (operating mode) characteristics of the garbage disposer 100 can be changed according to the throughput and other needs of the user.

The contents will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIGS. 6 to 8 are diagrams showing the contents of control executed by the control device 15 in response to the selection of the operation mode in the personal computer 101 (details will be described later). As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the control device 15 includes, as the operation modes of the garbage processing machine 100, a “normal mode” used during a very general normal operation and an operation when the garbage is not thrown. There are four preset “idle mode”, “economy mode” corresponding to economy-oriented operation, and “high power mode” corresponding to processing promptness-oriented operation.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a mode of rotation control of the stirring means 17 (in other words, rotation control of the driving device 19).
In this example, the stirring means 17 was first rotated for a predetermined initial rotation time after the start of operation (however, "idle mode").
), And after that, after that, intermittent operation in which rotation and stationary are alternately repeated is performed. In each mode of FIG. 6, an initial rotation time after the start of the operation, a rest time and a rotation time of the intermittent operation thereafter, and a rotation speed (rotation speed) at the initial rotation time and the rotation time are set. ing.

In the "normal mode", after the operation is started, the medium is first rotated at a rotation speed of 3 rpm for only 30 minutes to allow the medium 4 to mix with the garbage, and thereafter, the stationary state for 25 minutes and the garbage for 25 minutes. Minute rotation (rotation speed 3 rpm)
Are alternately repeated.

In the "high power mode", after the operation is started, the motor is rotated at a rotation speed of 3 rpm for 30 minutes in the same manner as described above, and thereafter, the rotation for 10 minutes and the rotation for 5 minutes (rotation speed of 3 rpm) are alternately performed. In other words, the frequency of rotation is increased by shortening the stationary time as compared with the normal mode, and the garbage disassembling process can be more quickly promoted.

In the "economy mode", the number of rotations is 2 rpm for 20 minutes as an initial rotation after the start of operation.
After that, after that, the stationary for 28 minutes and the rotation for 2 minutes (rotation speed 3 rpm) are alternately repeated, that is, the frequency of rotation is increased by making the stationary time longer than in the normal mode. By making it smaller and further reducing its rotational speed, more economical (reduced power cost) operation is possible.

In the above-mentioned "idle mode", since no garbage is introduced, no initial rotation time is provided, and a short one-minute rotation at a low rotation speed of 1 rpm and a long 29-minute rotation after the start of operation. The stationary state is alternately repeated, and the medium 4 is agitated to the minimum necessary such that the activity of the microorganisms carried on the medium 4 is reduced and no trouble occurs at the time of the next garbage injection. .

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a mode of rotation control (= air volume control) of the exhaust fan 10, wherein the air volume of the exhaust fan 10 is relatively "small", "medium",
It is divided into three stages, "large". The air volume setting in each mode corresponds to the operation of the agitating means 17, and is "small" in "idle mode", "economy mode", "normal mode".
In "medium" and "high power mode", it is "large". Needless to say, the air volume in the “economy mode” may be appropriately set to another value smaller than that in the “normal mode”.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the control of the heater 6 (control of the number of heating blocks). As described above, the heating heater which can be turned ON / OFF for each of a plurality of blocks corresponding to each mode. The number of heating blocks of No. 6 is divided into two stages: "halving", in which only half of the blocks are turned on, and "all", in which all blocks are turned on. The setting in each mode corresponds to the operation of the stirring means 17, and is "halved" in the "idle mode" and "full" in the "economy mode", "normal mode" and "high power mode". It goes without saying that the “economy mode”, “normal mode” and “high power mode” may be set to different block settings. Instead of such control by the number of blocks, for example, the heating temperature may be changed for each mode by controlling the current value or the amount of power to be supplied and controlling the heating amount itself. In this case, a known temperature sensor may be provided in the processing chamber 2 and a detection signal may be input to the control device 15 to perform, for example, feedback control of the heater 6.

The above control values for each mode are set and stored in the RAM 15c of the control device 15, for example, but can be appropriately modified by operation from the personal computer 101 as described later.

Further, any of the above four modes may be omitted depending on the user's application, use mode, and other needs, or other modes (for example, temperature and season (“ Needless to say, a winter mode or the like and a use environment (a “cold area mode”, a “high altitude mode”, etc.) may be added.

Next, a remote operation control operation of the garbage disposer 100 by the user's personal computer 101 will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 9 shows an initial display screen 201 on the CRT immediately after starting up the program relating to the control system of the garbage disposer of the present embodiment in the personal computer 101.

In the initial state where the mode operation setting screen 204 is displayed, these areas 206a to 206d include control values set in advance corresponding to the mode (the initial rotation time 0 [min] in the idle mode and the stationary time 29 [min], rotation time 1 [min], rotation speed 1 [rp]
m]) is displayed.

The air volume setting display area 207 is an air volume setting display area for displaying the air volume setting of the exhaust fan 10. In the initial state in which the mode operation setting screen 204 is displayed, the above-mentioned "large", "medium" and " A control value set in advance corresponding to the control for each mode such as "small" is displayed.

The heater setting display area 208 is an area for displaying the air volume setting of the heater 6. In an initial state where the mode operation setting screen 204 is displayed, each mode such as “all” or “halved” is used. A control value (aspect) set in advance corresponding to each control is displayed.

The above-mentioned areas 206a to 206d, 207,
A display value change button 209 is provided on the right side of the area 208. By clicking this button, each area 206a to
The numerical value or display of d, 207 and 208 can be increased or decreased or changed, so that the control value of each mode can be corrected.

Reference numeral 210 denotes a completion button. When this button 210 is clicked, each control value is determined by the display value at that time, and the operation control is performed with that value. If this completion button 210 is clicked in the initial state where the mode operation setting screen 204 is displayed, the screen shifts to a mode operation display screen 212 in the idle mode described later. When the user clicks the “Finish” button 210 after making corrections from the control values in the initial state using the display value change button 209, a setting confirmation window 211 is interrupted and opened (FIG. 10 shows a state where this window 211 is open).

Move to 3. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the manual operation display screen 223.

In FIG. 13, this screen 223 is almost the same as the mode operation display screen 212 in each mode shown in FIG. 11, and the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 10 denote the same parts. The difference from the mode operation display screen 212 in FIG. 10 is that the mode name display area 213 is not provided. Other points are the mode operation display screen 21
Same as 2.

When the "start operation" button 220 is clicked, the controller 15 causes the stirring means 17, the heater 6, the exhaust fan 10 and the like of the garbage disposer 100 according to the setting on the manual operation setting surface 222. Control the
The operation of the garbage disposer 100 is started (when the operation is already started with another setting, the operation is changed to the new setting and the operation is continued). In addition, a “stop operation” button 221
By clicking, the control device 15 stops the operations of the stirring means 17, the heater 6, the exhaust fan 10 and the like of the garbage disposal machine 100, and stops the operation of the garbage disposal machine 100.

Although a detailed description is omitted, at least one of the operations required for the manual operation among the operations for the mode operation and the operations for the manual operation, which are operated from the personal computer 101 side, is described above. By operating corresponding switches, dials and the like (details are not shown) on the operation unit 16a of the operation panel 16 provided in the garbage disposal machine 100, the same operation as that from the personal computer 101 side becomes possible. ing. It goes without saying that at least part of the necessary operations for the mode operation may be operable from the operation unit 16a.

Next, the operation and operation of the embodiment of the control system for a garbage disposer of the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to specific examples.

(1) When driving in economy mode after driving in normal mode For example, the garbage disposer 100 is used for processing garbage in eating facilities (employee canteens, etc.) of large companies with a large number of employees. The case of arrangement will be described as an example.

During the lunch break, a large amount of garbage is generated due to eating and drinking of many employees. The user of the garbage disposal machine 100 (eg, an employee of a food facility) stores the generated garbage in a plastic container or the like, and stores the garbage in the outdoor garbage disposal machine 100 near the food facility.
Carry it up to you.

Then, after turning on the medium input switch 16a1 of the operation panel operation section 16a of the garbage processing machine 100 to make the control device 15 recognize that the medium is input, the input cover 5 is opened and the processing container 2 is inserted through the input port 3. The medium 4 supporting microorganisms is charged and accommodated in the inside. Thereafter, similarly, the garbage input switch 16a2 is turned on to make the control device 15 recognize the input of garbage, and then the garbage in the plastic container is input from the input port 3, and the input lid 5 is closed.

Then, the user returns to the building 102 where the user is present (for example, the office of the above-mentioned eating and drinking establishment), and starts the program related to the control system of the garbage disposer on the personal computer 101 installed indoors. And start operation in the “normal mode”. That is, the display screen 20 shown in FIG.
1 "normal mode" button 2 in mode operation area 202
By clicking on 02c, a mode operation setting screen 204 showing an example of the idle mode in FIG. 10 is displayed.

In this screen 204, the stirring setting display area 2
In 2006, the initial rotation time was 30 [min] and the rest time was 25 [mi]
n], a rotation time of 5 [min], and a rotation speed of 3 [rpm], and the above-mentioned “large” and “medium” are displayed in the air volume setting display area 207.
A medium flow control value [m ³ / min] corresponding to “medium” in the “small” category is displayed, and “all” is displayed in the heater setting display area 208 in which all blocks are turned on. . Then, if the initial display value is acceptable (that is, if the operation is intended to be performed according to the set value in the normal mode), the operation is completed.
Click the button 210 (to make a small correction to the initial display value, click the display value change button 209 for each area, make corrections, and then click the “Finish” button 210. Button 211a). As a result, a mode operation display screen 212 showing an example of the idle mode in FIG. 11 is displayed.

Then, by clicking the operation start button 220 on this screen 212, the control device 15 causes the stirring means 17, the heater 6, and the heating heater 6 of the garbage disposer 100 in accordance with the setting on the mode operation setting screen 204. The exhaust fan 10 and the like are controlled, and the operation of the garbage disposal 100 is started. That is, power is supplied to all the blocks of the heater 6 to start heating the medium 4 via the processing container 2, thereby realizing a temperature environment suitable for exhibiting the microorganism decomposing function, and applying the driving force of the driving device 19 to the chain 21. Stirring means 1
7 is started at a rotation speed of 3 [rpm], and the inputted garbage and the medium 4 are stirred by the stirring rod 17 b of the stirring means 17.
Mix. Further, at this time, the exhaust fan 10 is started to rotate at a rotation speed corresponding to the medium flow rate control value, and outside air is taken into the processing container 2 from the suction port 8b at the upper portion of the processing container 2 while the inside of the processing container 2 is being taken. The air in the processing container 2 is circulated by discharging air from the outlet 8a, deodorizing the air in the deodorizing device 11, and then discharging the air to the outside through the chimney 12.
As described above, the contact frequency between the microorganisms in the medium 4 and the garbage and the contact frequency between the microorganisms and the oxygen in the fresh air are increased, and the decomposition of the garbage is started by the action of the microorganisms.

If the same operation as that of the personal computer 101 can be operated from the operation panel operation unit 16a of the garbage disposal machine 100,
It goes without saying that the same operation as described above may be performed on the operation unit 16a of the garbage disposer 100.

After the disassembly, the initial rotation time 30
After the elapse of [min], the stirring means 17 stops rotating and stands still. Then, after the stationary time 25 [min], the rotation of the stirring means 17 is started again.
7 is an intermittent operation in which the rotation for the rotation time of 5 [min] and the stationary for the stationary time of 25 [min] are alternately repeated. By such an operation, a large amount of the input lunch garbage is gradually decomposed and reduced, and a certain amount is reduced by the evening dinner.

Then, at the time of dinner, the user again inputs dinner garbage again in the same manner as described above. At the time of loading, the operation may be temporarily stopped by operating the operation panel 16a as appropriate. Here, the amount of garbage is large because lunch is usually eaten by the majority of employees at the eating and drinking facility, but in contrast, most employees eat dinner after returning home or at a facility outside the company. Since only a few employees have dinner at the facility, the amount of dinner garbage to be processed by the garbage processor 100 is very small. Moreover, after the dinner garbage, there is no additional input until the next day for the input of the breakfast garbage (or the lunch garbage), and the processing time can be secured relatively long.

Therefore, for example, at an appropriate time after the start of the dinner garbage processing (for example, sometimes the content substance display area 215 of the mode operation display screen 212 is checked, and the display mass is reduced to some extent, and the dinner garbage is reduced). When it is determined that the disassembly has progressed to some extent, or when the user finishes work and returns home after finishing the dinner, the mode is changed to the “economy” mode.

That is, the “return” button 2 of the browser 224 displayed on the upper part of the mode operation display screen 212
Clicking the button 24a returns to the mode operation setting screen 204, and further returns to the initial display screen 201 by clicking the "return" button 224a. Then, the user clicks the "economy mode" button 202b to display the mode operation setting screen 204 in the economy mode, and clicks the "done" button 210 to display the mode operation display screen 212 in the economy mode.
By clicking the operation start button 220 in, the control device 15 starts the control of the stirring means 17, the heater 6, the exhaust fan 10, and the like in the “economy” mode.

[0095] As described above, after the dinner garbage is charged,
By remote control from the personal computer 101 in the building 102, it becomes possible to cause the garbage disposal machine 101 to operate with high processing efficiency and low energy waste according to the amount of garbage disposal and the needs of the user. . Therefore, compared with the conventional structure that has only a single driving performance characteristic, even after additional input of dinner garbage, the same
Improvement of processing efficiency and effective use of energy can be achieved.

(2) When disassembling in the high power mode and then waiting in the idle mode For example, the food waste processing machine 100 is produced in a relatively large amount of food processing daily from a food processing factory that operates two days a week. An example in which waste (meat pieces, bones, and the like) is disposed for processing garbage will be described.

[0097] From Monday to Friday, when the factory operates, a large amount of garbage is generated from the start of the morning to the end of the evening. The user of the garbage processing machine 100 (a worker in charge of garbage processing at a factory) starts and operates the garbage processing machine 100 in the “normal mode” from the beginning of the morning as described in the above (1). Then, the generated garbage is appropriately transported to the outdoor garbage disposer 100 near the factory and thrown into the garbage disposal unit for decomposing.

[0098] Here, from Monday to Thursday, even if it is not possible to disassemble all the garbage between the start of the morning and the end of the evening, the "normal mode" and " It suffices to drive in "Economy Mode" and complete the disassembly process. On the other hand, since every Friday, the factory is closed for two days on Saturdays and Sundays, there is a need of the worker who wants to complete the disassembly processing of all input garbage by Friday night (work-out time) ( Or summer vacation, New Year holidays,
There is a similar situation before long holidays such as Golden Week).

Therefore, for example, at an appropriate time after the start of the garbage processing on Friday, the content substance display area 215 of the mode operation display screen 212 is checked occasionally (for example), and the display mass increases to some extent, and When it is determined that the garbage has accumulated, or simply at the first pm or 3:00 pm, the mode is changed to the “high power” mode.

That is, the “return” button 2 of the browser 224 displayed at the top of the mode operation display screen 212
Clicking the button 24a returns to the mode operation setting screen 204, and further returns to the initial display screen 201 by clicking the "return" button 224a. Then, a “high power mode” button 202b is clicked to display a mode operation setting screen 204 in the high power mode, and a “done” button 210 is clicked to display a mode operation display screen 212 in the high power mode, This screen 212
By clicking the operation start button 220 in, the control device 15 starts the control of the stirring means 17, the heater 6, the exhaust fan 10, and the like in the “high power” mode. Thereby, the rest time of the stirring means 17 is shorter than that of the conventional “normal” mode (25 min → 10 min,
As a result, the frequency of rotation increases, and as a result, the decomposition processing by microorganisms is powered up, and the decomposition is performed more quickly.

Thereafter, the content substance amount display area 215 of the mode operation display screen 212 is checked, and when it is determined that the displayed mass is reduced and the decomposition of the garbage is almost completed,
After changing the mode to the "idle" mode, the worker in charge finishes work and returns home.

That is, in the same manner as described above, the “return” button 224 a of the browser 224 displayed on the upper part of the mode operation display screen 212 is clicked twice, and the initial display screen
01, the “idle mode” button 202a is clicked, and the mode operation setting screen 204 in the idle mode is clicked.
Is displayed, and a “Done” button 210 is clicked to display a mode operation display screen 212 in an idle mode,
By clicking the operation start button 220, the control device 15 starts the control of the stirring means 17, the heater 6, the exhaust fan 10 and the like in the "idle" mode, and the stirring means 17 is carried on the medium 4. The medium 4 is agitated to the minimum necessary to such an extent that the activity of the microorganisms which has been reduced is not hindered at the time of introducing the next time garbage.

As described above, from Friday afternoon to night, the remote control from the personal computer 101 in the building 102 allows the garbage processing machine 100 to control the garbage processing amount and the processing efficiency according to the needs of the user. It is possible to perform a high-operation operation with low waste of energy. Therefore, it is possible to improve the processing efficiency and to effectively use energy as compared with the case where the conventional structure having only a single performance characteristic has the same performance from Friday night to Saturday through Monday morning.

In the above, the case where the garbage disposer 101 is remotely controlled from the user's personal computer 100 has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the personal computer 104 for another user (or on the maker's side) is used. In addition, on the side other than the user who actually uses the garbage processing apparatus 100, for example, with the prior approval or consent of the user, the garbage processing apparatus 100
Can also be remotely controlled. For example, in the example of the above (2), if the garbage disassembly process is not completed even when the worker in charge comes home, a mode change to the “idle” mode may be entrusted.

Although the above description has been made on the case where the garbage disposer 100 is used for business purposes, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this. That is, although the fluctuation amount of the processing amount is smaller than that for business use, if the present invention is applied to a household garbage processing machine, further performance improvement (improvement of processing efficiency and effective use of energy) can be achieved. Is also possible.

Next, another embodiment of the control system for a garbage disposer according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, the control device 15 calculates and accurately calculates (detects) the change amount (decrease amount) of the solid content of the garbage in the garbage decomposition processing procedure other than the idle mode.
The value is output to the personal computer 101 as a display signal and displayed.

First, a remote operation control operation of the garbage disposer 100 by the user's personal computer 101 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The CRT screen display of the personal computer 101 in the present embodiment is as follows.
The initial display screen 201 shown in FIG. 9, the mode operation setting screen 204 shown in FIG. 10, and the manual operation setting screen 222 shown in FIG. 12 are the same as those in the above-described embodiment of the present invention. Then, the mode operation setting screen 20
4 or a mode operation display screen or a manual operation display screen to be shifted from the manual operation setting screen 222 is different from the above-described embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a mode operation display screen 225 when the “normal” mode is selected. This figure 1
4 is different from the mode operation display screen 212 according to the embodiment of the present invention in that the operation start button 22
A new “garbage disposal detail display” button 22 above “0”
6 is provided. By pressing this button 226, a new garbage processing detail display window 227 is interrupted and displayed. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the window 227 is interrupted and displayed.

In FIG. 15, reference numeral 228 denotes a medium input button (switch) corresponding to the medium input switch 16a1 of the operation panel operation unit 16a, and 229 denotes the operation panel operation unit 16a.
A garbage input button (switch) corresponding to the medium input switch 16a2 of a, 230 is a content substance / moisture content display area, 231 is a mass / moisture content display area at the time of additional medium input, 2
Reference numeral 32 denotes a mass / moisture content display area after the input of garbage, 233 denotes a mass / water content display area before the input of garbage, 234 denotes a garbage input count display area, and 235 denotes a medium exchange display window. These buttons 16a1, 16a2, display areas 231 to
234 and the window 235 will be described later in detail.

Next, the control device 15 in the present embodiment
Will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 20.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the entire control performed by the control device 15 in the mode operation other than the idle mode and the manual operation. In FIG. 16, the operation start button 22 on the mode operation display screen 225 is
This flow is started when the 0 button is clicked (or when an operation start switch (not shown) provided in the operation panel operation unit 16a is turned on). First, at step 10, an index i representing the number of times of putting garbage, a medium 4 , The added mass H of the medium 4, the mass Hd of the solid content, and the mass Hw of the added water are all initialized to zero.

Then, in step 20, it is determined whether or not the medium input button 228 (or the medium input switch 16a1 of the operation panel operation section 16a) of the personal garbage processing detailed display window 227 has been turned ON. When the determination is satisfied, the process proceeds to Step 30.

At step 30, the index i representing the number of times of putting the garbage is set to 1, and the routine goes to step 100.

In step 100, prior to the start of the garbage decomposition processing operation, control for the operation preparation processing is performed. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a detailed procedure of the operation preparation processing.

In FIG. 17, first, at step 101,
It is determined whether or not the open / closed state of the input lid 5 is detected by the opening / closing detection unit 14. When the determination is satisfied, it is considered that the loading lid 5 is opened and the loading of the medium 4 is performed, and the process proceeds to step 102 to determine whether the closing state of the loading lid 5 is detected. When the determination in step 102 is satisfied, the process proceeds to step 103.

In step 103, the value measured by the mass detecting means 23 at this time is inputted, and the mass ki of the medium 4 into which the value is input (in this case, i = 1, which is k1) [k
g] in the RAM 15c, and outputs the value as a display signal to the personal computer 101 (or the operation panel 16).
Is displayed on the content substance amount display section 230a (or the operation panel display section 16b) of the content substance content / water content display area 230. At this time, a value measured by the water content detection means 13 is input, and this value is stored in the RAM 15c as the water content ai (a1 in this case) [%] of the inserted medium 4, and the value is stored in the personal computer 101 ( Alternatively, it is output to the operation panel 16 as a display signal, and is displayed on the content water content display section 230b (or the operation panel display section 16b) of the content substance / water content display area 230.

Note that the mass ki of the medium 4 is not detected by the mass detecting means 23 but is detected by another detecting means outside the garbage processing machine before being put in, and the detection signal is transmitted to the control device 15. May be automatically imported to
Alternatively, the user may manually input the detected value to input means provided in the garbage processing detailed display window 227 (or the operation panel operation unit 16a), and may input the input signal to the control device 15. . Furthermore, when the mass (or the average value) of the medium 4 is generally known statistically or empirically, or when the medium is charged with a fixed-capacity container, the charged volume can be kept constant every time. In such a case, the user manually inputs the mass value to the input means provided in the garbage processing detailed display window 227 (or the operation panel operation unit 16a) without performing detection. Alternatively, if there is little change, the setting may be stored in the RAM 15c of the control device 15 in advance. In any case, the detection is not necessarily performed as long as the mass ki of the medium 4 to be charged can be given to the control device 15.

The moisture content ai of the medium 4 is not detected by the moisture content detecting means 13 but, for example, when the user opens the input lid 5, the garbage disposal machine enters the processing container 2 from outside. A separate detection means is inserted and inserted into the medium 4 to perform the detection, or the detection is performed by another detection means outside the garbage disposal machine before the input, and the detection signal is transmitted to the control device 1.
5, or the user manually inputs the detected value to input means provided in the garbage processing detailed display window 227 (or the operation panel operation unit 16a). The input signal may be taken into the control device 15. Further, when the value of the water content of the medium 4 (or the average value thereof) is statistically or empirically known, the user can use the value of the water content without detecting the garbage without performing detection. It may be manually input to an input means provided in the processing detail display window 227 (or the operation panel operation unit 16a), or may be set and stored in the RAM 15c of the control device 15 in advance if there is little change. . In addition, a plurality of moisture content values corresponding to a plurality of types of media 4 are set and stored in the RAM 15c, and the type of the media 4 or the moisture content value corresponding to each of the media 4 is displayed in the garbage processing detailed display window 227 (or A list is displayed on the display unit 16b of the operation panel 16), and a user is provided with a selection means (not shown) separately provided in the garbage processing detailed display window 227 (or the operation panel operation unit 16a). May be selected and input. In any case, as long as the water content ai of the medium 4 to be charged can be provided in the control device 15, the detection is not necessarily performed.

Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 104, where the mass ki of the input medium 4 and the water content ai input in step 103 are used to calculate the solid content mass kdi (in this case, kd
1) and the water mass kwi (kw1 in this case) are calculated. That is, the mass kdi of the solid content is obtained by: kdi = (1-ai / 100) × ki, and the water mass kwi is obtained by: kwi = ai × ki / 100.

The solid content mass kdi and the water content kwi of the medium 4 thus determined are stored in the RAM 15c, and their values are output as display signals, and the content solid content mass display portion 230c of the garbage processing detailed display window 227 is displayed. And the content moisture content display section 230d (or the operation panel display section 16)
b).

When the above procedure is completed, the operation preparation processing is completed, and the routine returns to FIG. 16 and proceeds to step 110.

In step 110, it is determined whether or not the garbage input button 229 of the garbage processing detailed display window 227 (or the garbage input switch 16a2 of the operation panel operation section 16a) has been turned ON. When the determination is satisfied, the process proceeds to step 200.

In step 200, upon completion of the operation preparation, the control of the processing immediately after the input of garbage is performed. FIG. 18 is a flowchart illustrating a detailed procedure of the process immediately after the input of the garbage.

In FIG. 18, first, at step 201,
It is determined whether or not the open / closed state of the input lid 5 is detected by the opening / closing detection unit 14. When the determination is satisfied, it is considered that the loading lid 5 is opened and the food waste is loaded on the medium 4, and the process proceeds to step 202 to determine whether the closing state of the loading lid 5 is detected. I do. Step 2
When the determination of 02 is satisfied, the process proceeds to step 203.

In step 203, the value measured by the mass detecting means 23 at this time is input, and the garbage to which the value has been input and the medium 4 which has already been input (hereinafter referred to as these
The total mass (= the amount of contents) l i (for example, i = 1 when the first time is charged, it becomes l 1) [kg] is stored in the RAM 15c, and the value is stored in the RAM 15c. The content is displayed on the operation panel display section 16b in the content substance amount display area 232a (or the operation panel display section 16b) of the post-garbage input mass / moisture content display area 232 of the display window 227.

At this time, the water content of the garbage is detected by a well-known water content detecting means outside the garbage disposal machine before being put into the garbage disposal machine, and the detected value is displayed by the user on the garbage processing detailed display window. 227 (or operation panel operation unit 16a), and manually input the input means (not shown), and input this input signal to the control device 15 (so that the detection signal is automatically taken into the control device 15). Good). However, if the value of the water content of the garbage (or its average value) is statistically or empirically known, the user can input the value of the water content to the input means without performing detection. You may make it input manually. A plurality of moisture content values corresponding to a plurality of types of garbage are set and stored in the RAM 15c, and the type of garbage or the moisture content value corresponding to each garbage is displayed in the garbage processing detail display window 227 (or the operation panel 16). Of the garbage processing detailed display window 227 (operation panel operation unit 16a). Good.

The water content bi of the input garbage input to the control device 15 in this way (for example, b1 for the first input)
[%] Is stored in the RAM 15c, and the value is stored in the garbage processing detail display window 227.
2b (or the operation panel display section 16b) is output as a display signal and displayed.

The user does not input the moisture content bi of the garbage as described above.
In a state where the garbage is opened, a detecting means separate from the garbage disposal machine is inserted into the processing container 2 from outside, and the detection means is inserted into the garbage placed on the medium 4 to detect the water content bi of the garbage. Alternatively, a detecting means similar to the water content detecting means 13 may be arranged on, for example, the lower surface 3a of the inlet 3 (see FIG. 2), and the garbage may be detected by the detecting means when the garbage passes during the charging. May be detected. Conversely, if it is known that the fluctuation is small, the water content bi of the garbage may be set and stored in the RAM 15c of the control device 15 as a fixed value in advance. In any case, it suffices that the water content bi of the raw garbage 5 to be put into the control device 15 can be given.

Then, the process proceeds to step 204, where the mass mi (the first charge) of the raw garbage is input using the total mass li of the contents (medium 4 + garbage) and the water content bi of the raw garbage input in step 203. M1), mass of solid content mdi
(Md1 for the first charge) and water content mwi (mw1 for the first charge) are calculated. That is, garbage mass mi
Is: mi = li−ki, and the solid content of garbage mdi is mdi = (1−bi / 100) × mi, and the water mass of garbage mwi is obtained by mwi = bi × mi / 100.

The mass of the input garbage, mi, is not calculated by the mass detecting means 23 by detecting the content li of the content li by li-ki, but by the above-mentioned step 10.
As in the case of the medium mass ki described in 3 above, detection may be performed by another detection means outside the garbage disposal machine before being put in, and the detection signal may be automatically taken into the control device 15, or The user may manually input the detected value to the input means, and the input signal may be taken into the control device 15.
Furthermore, when the mass of garbage (or its average value) is known statistically or empirically, or when the volume is fixed by using a fixed volume container, the input volume can be kept constant every time. In such a case, the user may manually input the value of the mass to the input means without performing the detection. If the change is small, the user may set and store the value in the RAM 15c of the control device 15 in advance. May be. In any case, mass m of garbage to be put in
If i can be set to the state given in the control device 15, it is not necessarily detected.

In this step 204, in addition to the above, the above-mentioned input garbage mass mi, solid content mass mdi, and water mass mwi are integrated in order from i = 1 (details will be described later).
Calculate the input garbage integrated mass Σmi, the solid content integrated mass Σmdi, and the water integrated mass Σmwi. For example, at the time of the first injection, since i = 1, Σmi = m1, Σmdi = md1,
Σmwi = mw1.

The masses mi, solid mass mdi, moisture mass mwi, accumulated mass Σmi, accumulated solid mass Σmdi, and accumulated moisture mass Σmwi of the input garbage thus determined are stored in the RAM 15.
c, and the value is displayed in the mass / moisture content display area 23 after the garbage is input in the garbage processing detail display window 227.
2 garbage mass display area 232c, garbage solid content mass display area 232d, garbage water mass display area 232e, garbage integrated mass display area 232f, garbage solids integrated mass display area 232g, garbage moisture integrated mass display Region 232
h (or the operation panel display section 16b).

When the above procedure is completed, the processing immediately after the input of garbage is completed, and the flow returns to FIG.

In step 210, the operation of the garbage disposer is started (started). That is, a control signal is output to the driving device 19, the exhaust fan 10, the heater 6, and the like to start the operation thereof.

Thereafter, at step 220, the garbage input button 229 of the garbage processing detailed display window 227 (or the garbage input switch 16a2 of the operation panel operation section 16a).
Is turned on (again). When the determination is satisfied, it is considered that additional garbage is to be input, and the process proceeds to step 230.

In step 230, the operation of the garbage disposer is stopped. That is, the driving device 19 and the exhaust fan 1
0 and a control signal is output to the heater 6 and the like, and their operations are stopped. Then, at step 240, 1 is added to the above-mentioned index i representing the number of times of adding garbage, and the process proceeds to step 300.

In step 300, in response to the above-mentioned state of adding additional garbage, control for processing immediately before the next addition of garbage is performed. FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing a detailed procedure of the process immediately before the input of garbage.

Referring to FIG. 19, first, at step 301,
At this time, the value measured by the mass detecting means 23 (that is, the total mass of the mixture of the garbage and the medium 4 stirred and mixed for a predetermined time) is input, and this value is used as the content substance ki (for example, i = 2 so k2) [kg]
And the value is displayed in the content substance amount display section 230a (or the operation panel display section 16b) of the content substance amount / water content display area 230 of the garbage processing detail display window 227. In addition, the measured value by the water content detecting means 13 at this time is inputted, and this value is set as the content water content ai (a2 for the first additional addition) [%] as R
The value is stored in the AM 15c, and the value is displayed on the content moisture content display section 230b (or the operation panel display section 16b) of the content substance content / water content display area 230.

It should be noted that the content water content ai is not detected by the water content detection means 13 but is used in the aforementioned step 103.
Similarly to, for example, a detection unit separate from the garbage disposal machine may be inserted from the outside into the contents to perform detection, and the detection signal may be automatically taken into the control device 15,
Alternatively, the user may manually input the detected value to the input means, and the input signal may be taken into the control device 15.

Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 302, where the solid mass kdi of the content (kd2 for the first additional charging) and the water mass kwi ( If it is the first additional throw, calculate kw2). That is, the mass kdi of the solid content is obtained by: kdi = (1-ai / 100) × ki, and the water mass kwi is obtained by: kwi = ai × ki / 100.

The solid content mass kdi and water content kwi of the content thus obtained are stored in the RAM 15c, and the values are stored in the content solid content mass display portion 230c and the content water content of the garbage processing detailed display window 227. The display is displayed on the display unit 230d (or the operation panel display unit 16b), and the process proceeds to step 303.

In step 303, the amount of garbage is reduced (the weight of the reduced volume) ni-1 (n1 for the first additional charge), the solid content ndi-1 (nd1 for the first additional charge), and the water loss nwi- 1 (nw1 for the first additional throw) is calculated by the following equation. That is, the food waste reduction ni-1 is: ni-1 = ki-1 + mi-1 + H-ki The solid content reduction ndi-1 is ndi-1 = kdi-1 + mdi-1 + Hd-kdi and the water loss nwi-1 is nwi- 1 = kwi-1 + mwi-1 + Hw-kwi

Taking as an example the garbage loss n1, the solid content reduction nd1, and the water loss nw1 at the time of the first additional charging (i = 2), the garbage reduction n1 is determined by the input medium mass k1 detected in step 103. And the input garbage mass m1 calculated in step 204 and the content substance amount k2 detected in step 301.
Since it is initialized to = 0, it can be obtained by n1 = k1 + m1 + H-k2 = k1 + m1-k2.

Further, the garbage solid content reduction nd1 is obtained by calculating the input medium solid content mass kd1 calculated in step 104 and the input garbage solid content mass md1 calculated in step 204.
And the content solid content mass k calculated in step 302 described above.
Since d2 is used and Hd = 0 is initialized in step 10 above, it can be obtained by nd1 = kd1 + md1 + Hd-kd2 = kd1 + md1-kd2.

Further, the water loss nw1 of the garbage is calculated as follows: the water mass kw1 of the input medium calculated in the step 104, the water mass mw1 of the input garbage calculated in the step 204, and the water content kw2 calculated in the step 302. And since Hw is initialized to 0 in step 10 above, it can be obtained by nw1 = kw1 + mw1 + Hw-kw2 = kw1 + mw1-kw2.

In step 303, in addition to the above, the garbage reduction ni-1, the solid content reduction ndi-1, and the water reduction nwi-1 are sequentially integrated from i = 1 (details will be described later). Garbage weight loss Σni-1, solid content weight loss Σndi-
1. Calculate the integrated water loss Σnwi-1. For example, at the time of the first additional injection according to the above example, since i = 2, Δni−1 = n1, Δndi−1 = nd1, and Δnwi−1 = nw1.

The thus obtained garbage reduction ni-1, solid content reduction ndi-1, water loss nwi-1, cumulative weight loss Σni-1, solid weight loss Σndi-1, and water loss Σnwi-1 are calculated as R
In addition to storing the values in the AM 15c, the values are displayed in the garbage processing detail display window 227, and the garbage reduction display area 233a, the garbage solid content reduction display area 233b, and the garbage moisture reduction display in the weight / water content display area 233 before the garbage input. Area 23
3c, the garbage cumulative weight loss display area 233d, the garbage solid content cumulative weight loss display area 233e, and the garbage moisture cumulative weight loss display area 233f (or the operation panel display 16b). Upon completion of the above, the procedure moves to step 304.

In step 304, the unprocessed amount of garbage (non-reduced mass) zi-1 (z
1) The untreated amount of solid content zdi-1 (zd1 at the time of the first additional charge) and the untreated amount of water zwi-1 (zw1 at the first additional charge) are calculated by the following equations. That is, the raw garbage untreated amount zi-1 is: zi-1 = mi-1-ni-1 The solid content untreated amount zdi-1 is zdi-1 = mdi-1-ndi-1 and the water untreated amount zwi. -1 is obtained by zwi-1 = mwi-1-nwi-1.

For example, the unprocessed amount of garbage z1, the unprocessed amount of solids zd1, and the unprocessed amount of water zw1 at the time of the first additional introduction (i = 2) are as follows. Using the input garbage mass m1 calculated in step 204 and the garbage reduction n1 detected in step 303, z1 = m1-n1.

The unprocessed amount of solid garbage zd1 is the input solid mass of raw garbage md1 calculated in step 204.
And the garbage solid content reduction n detected in step 303
By using d1 and zd1 = md1-nd1.

Further, the raw garbage water unprocessed amount zw1 is calculated based on the input raw garbage water mass mw1 calculated in step 204,
Using the garbage water loss nw1 detected in step 303, zw1 = mw1-nw1.

In this step 304, in addition to the above, the unprocessed amount of garbage zi-1 and the unprocessed amount of solids zdi-
1, and the untreated water amount zwi-1 were integrated in order from i = 1 (details will be described later). The untreated treated food waste amount Σzi-1, the untreated treated solid amount Σzdi-1, and the untreated treated water amount Σzwi. Calculate -1. For example, at the time of the first additional insertion according to the above example, since i = 2, Δzi−1 = z1 and Δzdi−1 = z
d1 and Σzwi-1 = zw1.

The unprocessed amount of garbage zi-1, thus obtained,
The solid unprocessed amount zdi-1, the water unprocessed amount zwi-1, the integrated unprocessed amount Σzi-1, the solids integrated unprocessed amount Σzdi-1, and the water integrated unprocessed amount Σzwi-1 are stored in the RAM 15c. , The value of the raw garbage unprocessed amount display area 233 g of the garbage unprocessed amount display area 233 g of the garbage before inputting the mass / water content display area 233 of the garbage processing detail display window 227,
33h, garbage water unprocessed amount display area 233i, garbage integrated unprocessed amount display area 233j, garbage solids integrated unprocessed amount display area 233k, garbage moisture integrated unprocessed amount display area 233l (or operation panel display section) 16b) is output as a display signal and displayed. When the above is completed, step 3
Move to 05.

At step 305, from the viewpoint of the current performance limit of the microorganisms carried on the medium 4 and the capacity limit of the processing vessel 2, the number of times that garbage can be additionally input at this point in time without exchanging the medium 4 is determined. Is calculated as the upper limit X [times].
This X is calculated as follows.

First, the total number of garbage throws i up to this point
The number x [times] less than or equal to i of [times] (the value of x may be a fixed value set and stored in advance, or an input provided separately by the user in the garbage processing detail display window 227 or the operation panel operation unit 16a). Means (not shown) as appropriate), and the solid content in the processing vessel 2 at the time of feeding the garbage from the time point x + 1 times (that is, from the ix times to the i times) from this point onward Amount accumulated (in other words, the amount of unprocessed solids remaining per garbage charge) B
[Kg] is calculated using the content solid content mass kdi in the processing vessel 2 at this time (calculated in step 302) and the content solid content kdi-x before x times, and B = (kdi−kdi− x) / x

Then, for example, a predetermined upper limit mass C determined according to the volume of the processing container 2 (a fixed value set and stored in advance, or may be appropriately input by the user using the input means provided separately). ) And the mass kdi of the solid content in the processing container 2 at this point described above, the additional upper limit value X [times] of garbage is determined by X = (C−kdi) / B.

The upper limit value X of the number of additional throws calculated in this way is stored in the RAM 15c, and the value is stored in the garbage throw count display area 234 (or the operation panel display 16b) of the garbage processing detail display window 227. It is output as a display signal and displayed. When the above is completed, step 3
Move to 06.

In step 306, the above-mentioned step 305
Similarly, from the viewpoint of the performance limit of the microorganism and the capacity limit of the processing container 2, it is determined at this point whether the medium 4 needs to be replaced immediately. This determination is made as follows.

That is, the unprocessed garbage solids unprocessed amount Σzdi-1 calculated in the previous step 304 is, for example, a predetermined solids integrated unprocessed upper limit value A determined according to the volume of the processing container 2 (for example, The value of the maximum amount of unprocessed garbage solids that can be held in the container 2 may be a fixed value set and stored in advance,
(The user may input the data appropriately using an input means provided separately). If it is larger, it is determined that the medium 4 needs to be replaced immediately. I do.

When the determination is satisfied, the process proceeds to step 307, where a medium exchange display window 235 is further displayed in the garbage processing detailed display window 227 of the mode operation display screen 225 (FIG. 15 shows a state in which this interrupt display is performed). Is shown). The fact that the medium needs to be replaced may be output and displayed as a display signal on the operation panel display 16b. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 308, and the operation of the garbage disposal machine is stopped. That is, a control signal is output to the driving device 19, the exhaust fan 10, the heater 6, and the like, and their operations are stopped.

If the determination in step 306 is not satisfied, it is considered that the operation can be continued without replacing the medium 4 immediately, and the processing immediately before putting in the garbage is completed.
Returning to step 6, the process proceeds to step 310.

In step 310, when the index j indicating the number of times the medium 4 has been added, the integrated mass H of the medium 4, the integrated mass Hd of the solid content, and the integrated mass Hw of the added water have values other than 0. Also initializes them all to zero,
Return to step 200.

On the other hand, in FIG. 16, the garbage processing detailed display window 227 in step 220 described above is displayed.
Garbage input button 229 (or garbage input switch 1)
If the determination as to whether or not 6a2) has been turned ON is not satisfied, it is considered that additional input of garbage has not been performed yet, and the process proceeds to step 250.

At step 250, the medium input button 228 (or the medium input switch 16a1 of the operation panel operation section 16a) of the garbage processing detailed display window 227 is turned (again).
It is determined whether an ON operation has been performed. If the determination is not satisfied, the process returns to step 220. If the determination is satisfied, it is determined that the medium 4 is to be added, and the process proceeds to step 260.

In step 260, the above-mentioned step 23 is executed.
Similarly to the case of 0, the operation of the driving device 19, the exhaust fan 10, the heater 6 and the like are stopped to stop the operation of the garbage disposer. After that, in step 270, 1 is added to the above-mentioned index j indicating the number of times the medium 4 has been inserted, and the flow proceeds to step 400.

In step 400, in response to the above-mentioned medium addition planned state, the processing for medium addition addition is controlled.
FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing a detailed procedure of this additional medium loading process.

In FIG. 20, first, at step 401,
At this time, the value measured by the mass detecting means 23 (that is, the total mass of the mixture of the garbage and the medium 4 immediately before the additional addition of the medium 4) is input, and this value is used as the content substance amount kj (for example, the step (K = 1 since j = 1 at 270) [kg] is stored in the RAM 15c, and the value is displayed in the garbage processing detailed display window 2
27 is displayed on the content amount display section 231a (or the operation panel display section 16b) of the mass / moisture content display area 231 when the medium is added.

Thereafter, at step 403, it is determined whether or not the open / closed state of the input cover 5 is detected by the open / close detecting means 14. When the judgment is satisfied, the input lid 5 is opened,
It is considered that the medium 4 has been additionally loaded, and the process proceeds to step 403 to determine whether the closed state of the loading lid 5 has been detected. When the determination in step 403 is satisfied, the process proceeds to step 404.

In step 404, the value measured by the mass detecting means 23 at this time (after the additional addition of the medium 4) is input, and this value is used as the total mass (= content material amount) lj (for example, (In case of one additional charge, j = 1 so it becomes l1) [kg] is stored in the RAM 15c, and the value is stored in the mass / moisture content display area 231 at the time of additional medium charge in the garbage processing detail display window 227. It is displayed on the quantity display section 231b (or the operation panel display section 16b).

At this time, similarly to the above-mentioned steps 103 and 203, the detected value of the water content of the medium 4 by the well-known water content detecting means manually input by the user (or automatically taken in) is used. The fixed value of the input water content or the input value selected by the user from the set storage value, the water content bj of the additional input medium 4 (for example, b1 for the first additional input) [%] is stored in the RAM 15c. At the same time, the value is output as a display signal to the medium moisture content display section 231c (or the operation panel display section 16b) of the medium / moisture content / moisture content display area 231 in the garbage processing detail display window 227 and displayed.

Note that, instead of the user inputting the water content bj of the additional medium 4 as described above, the water content bj of the medium 4 may be detected by, for example, rushing into the additional medium 4 from outside. Alternatively, the moisture content bj of the medium 4 may be detected by the detecting means arranged on the lower surface 3a of the inlet, or if the variation is small, the moisture content bj of the medium 4 is set and stored as a fixed value in the RAM 15c in advance. In any case, it goes without saying that it is sufficient if the water content bj of the medium 4 to be additionally charged can be set in a state provided in the control device 15.

Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 405, in which the total mass kj of the contents (medium 4 + garbage) before adding the medium 4 input in step 401 and the contents of the contents after adding the medium 4 input in step 404 are determined. Using the total mass lj and the water content bj of the additional charging medium 4, the mass hj of the additionally charged medium 4 (h1 for the first additional charging) and the solid content mass hdj (hd1 for the first additional charging). ), And the water mass hwj (hw1 for the first additional charge) are calculated. That is, the additional input medium mass hj is hj = lj-kj, the additional input medium solid content mass hdj is hdj = (1-bj / 100) × hj, and the additional input medium moisture mass hwj is hwj = bj × hj / Calculate by 100.

In step 405, in addition to the above, the additional input medium mass hj, the solid content mass hdj, and the water mass hwj are sequentially integrated from j = 1 (details will be described later). = Σhj, integrated solid mass Hd = Σhdj, and integrated moisture mass Hw = Σhwj. For example, at the time of the first additional throw, since j = 1, H = h1, Hd = hd1, and Hw = hw1.

The mass hj of the additional charging medium thus determined,
The solid content mass hdj, the moisture mass hwj, the accumulated mass H, the solid content accumulated mass Hd, and the moisture accumulated mass Hw are stored in the RAM 15c, and the values are stored in the media mass display portion 231 of the mass / moisture content display area 231 when a medium is added. 231d, medium solid content display section 231e, medium moisture weight display section 231f, medium integrated mass display section 231g, medium solid content integrated mass display section 23
1h, a display signal is output to the medium moisture integrated mass display section 231i (or the operation panel display section 16b) and displayed.

When the above procedure is completed, the processing for adding a medium is completed, and the flow returns to FIG. 16 and proceeds to step 410.

In step 410, the operation of the garbage disposer is started. That is, the driving device 19 and the exhaust fan 1
0, and outputs a control signal to the heater 6 and the like to start the operation thereof, and then returns to step 220.

Next, the operation of the above-described garbage disposal machine control system according to another embodiment of the present invention and the operation thereof will be described with reference to specific examples.

As a specific example, in a state where the medium 4 is accommodated in the processing container 2 and the mode is fixed to a predetermined mode other than the idle mode, the disassembling operation after the first garbage input, the second disassembling process after the garbage input An operation will be described as an example in which a decomposition treatment operation is performed after the third garbage input, a first additional medium 4 is input at this time, and then a fourth garbage input is performed.

(1) Until the start of the decomposition processing operation of the first-time input garbage In order to start the garbage processing operation, the worker in charge first goes to, for example, the garbage processing machine 100, and first, the medium input switch of the operation panel. After turning on 16a1, the charging lid 5 is opened to open the medium 4 (for example, mass 100 kg, water content 30
%). In addition, it is preferable that the water content of the charging medium 4 at this time falls within an optimum value range for efficiently treating garbage. Then, when the input lid 5 is closed, the determination of the step 20 of the flow of FIG. 16 by the control device 15 is satisfied, and after i = 1 in the step 30, the steps 101 and 102 of the flow of FIG. Then, in step 103, the detection result k1 = 100 kg by the mass detecting means 23 is input, and the detection result a1 = 30% by the water content detecting means 13 is input.

Then, in step 104, the mass kd1 of the solid content and the mass kw1 of the water content of the medium 4 are calculated as follows: kd1 = (1-a1 / 100) × k1 = 70 kg kw1 = a1 × k1 / 100 = 30 kg It is displayed on the display unit 16b (however, the above k1 and a1 are also displayed together. Also, it is simultaneously displayed on the content amount / water content display area 230 of the garbage processing detail display window 227 of the personal computer 101).

After turning on the garbage input switch 16a2 of the operation panel before inputting the garbage, the input lid 5 is opened and the garbage (for example, having a mass of 10 kg, (Water content: 70%) and the charging lid 5 is closed. In addition, the detected moisture content value (= 70%) is manually input to input means (not shown) of the operation panel operation unit 16a.
Then, step 1 of the flow of FIG.
10 are satisfied, and further, steps 201 and 202 of the flow of FIG.
At 3, the detection result l1 = 110 kg by the mass detecting means 23
(100 kg of medium + 10 kg of garbage) is input to the control device 15, and b1 = 70% by manual input is also input.

Then, at step 204, the mass m of garbage
1, solid content mass md1, moisture mass mw1, input garbage integrated massΣm1, solid content integrated massΣmd1, and moisture integrated massΣ
mw1 is: m1 = l1-k1 = 1100-100 = 10 kg md1 = (1-b1 / 100) × m1 = 3 kg mw1 = b1 × m1 / 100 = 7 kg Σm1 = m1 = 10 kg Σmd1 = md1 = 3 kg Σmw1 = mw1 = It is calculated as 7 kg and displayed on the display unit 16b of the operation panel 16 (the garbage disposal detailed display window 22 of the personal computer 101).
7 is also displayed in the mass / moisture content display area 232 after the garbage is charged).

Then, in step 210, the operation of the garbage disposer is started. Thus, the decomposition process of the garbage put into the processing container 2 is started. After confirming that the processing has started normally, the worker returns to the building 102 and monitors the personal computer 101 as appropriate.

(2) Until the start of the second operation of decomposition of garbage, the decomposition of garbage is started as described above.
After a lapse of a predetermined time (for example, several hours), the first-time input garbage m1 = 10 kg (including water mw1 = 7 kg, solid content md1)
= 3 kg), it is assumed that all 7 kg of water evaporates and disappears, 2 kg of solids are decomposed, and only 1 kg of solids remains untreated. The medium 4 has no change in the mass of both the solid content and the water content, and the mass k1 = 10
It is assumed that the state is 0 kg (solid content kd1 = 70 kg, moisture kw1 = 30 kg).

At this point, the worker turns on the garbage input button 229 of the garbage processing detailed display window 227 of the personal computer 101 with the intention of the second input (ie, additional input) of garbage. Then, FIG.
The determination in step 220 of the flow of No. 6 is satisfied, the operation of the garbage disposal is stopped in step 230, and i = 2 in step 240.

Then, step 301 in the flow of FIG.
, The detection result k2 of the mass detection means 23 at this time
= 101kg (100kg of medium + 1k remaining amount of raw garbage)
g) is input to the control device 15, and the detection result a2 ≒ 29.7% by the water content detection means 13 at this time is input to the control device 15.

Thereafter, in step 302, the contents (1
Solid content kd2 of 00 kg of medium 4 + 1 kg of residual garbage
And the water mass kw2 is calculated as kd2 = (1−a2 / 100) × k2 = 71 kg kw2 = a2 × k2 / 100 = 30 kg, and is displayed in the content amount / water content display area 230 of the garbage processing detail display window 227. Displayed (k above
2, a2 are also displayed).

Then, in step 303, the garbage reduction n1, the solids reduction nd1, the moisture reduction nw1, the garbage cumulative reduction Σn1, the solids cumulative reduction Σnd1, and the water content representing the decomposition performance of the conventional garbage disposer up to now. N1 = k1 + m1-k2 = 100 + 10-101 = 9 kg nd1 = kd1 + md1-kd2 = 70 + 3-71 = 2 kg nw1 = kw1 + mw1-kw2 = 30 + 7-30 = 7 kg Σn1 = n1 = 9 kg Σnd1 = It is calculated as nw1 = 7 kg, and is displayed in the mass / moisture content display area 233 before food waste input in the food waste processing detailed display window 227.

That is, in the present embodiment, the operation of the garbage disposer up to this point causes the input garbage to be 10 kg.
Not only did 9 kg disappear and were reduced in volume,
Of these, 7 kg is simply due to the evaporation of water, and the remaining 2 kg is clearly detected and displayed as having been eliminated by the decomposition treatment of microorganisms. As described above, the volume reduction of the solid content of the garbage can be obtained by clearly distinguishing the volume reduction of the water content of the garbage from the garbage. It is possible to accurately grasp and manage the actual amount of garbage.

Thereafter, in step 304, the unprocessed amount of garbage z1, the unprocessed amount of solids zd1, the unprocessed amount of water zw1, the unprocessed amount of water wz1, the accumulated unprocessed amount Σz1, The unprocessed solid content Σzd1 and the unprocessed water content Σzw1 are as follows: z1 = m1-n1 = 10-9 = 1 kg zd1 = md1-nd1 = 3-2 = 1 kg zw1 = mw1-nw1 = 7-7 = 0 kg Σz1 = Z1 = 1kg Σzd1 = zd1 = 1kg Σzw1 = zw1 = 0kg and is displayed in the mass / water content display area 233 of the garbage processing detailed display window 227 before the garbage is put.

At this time, for example, the above-mentioned x = 1 for calculating the upper limit value X of the additional number of garbage can be set and stored at a predetermined upper limit mass C = 220 kg determined according to the volume of the processing container 2. (That is, a fixed value), in step 305, the solid content accumulation amount B in the processing container 2 becomes B = kd2-kd1 = 71-70 = 1kg, and the additional upper limit value X of garbage is X = (C-kd2) / B = (220-71) / 1 = 149
The value of X is displayed in the garbage disposal detail display window 2
27 are displayed in the garbage input count display area 234.

As a result, the worker can use the garbage processing machine 10
It is possible to recognize that the garbage disposal operation can be performed without changing the medium 4 more than 140 times if the user is going at the current pace remotely without going to the installation location of the medium 4 and changing the medium 4 approximately. Know when. Therefore, the worker can optimize the timing and frequency of the maintenance of the garbage disposal machine 100, and can improve the operation efficiency and reduce the cost.

In addition, for example, a predetermined solid content integrated unprocessed amount upper limit value A = 20 kg determined according to the volume of the processing container 2 in order to determine the necessity of medium exchange is stored in advance (that is, fixed). Value), in step 306,
The determination is not satisfied because the garbage solids integrated unprocessed amount Σzd1 = zd1 = 1 kg calculated in the previous step 304, which is smaller than A, and the medium replacement display is not performed. And
After the initialization in step 310, the process returns to step 200.

When the processing just before the second garbage input is completed as described above, it has been confirmed that the garbage can still be input, so the operator leaves the building 102 again and goes to the garbage processing machine 100. The same amount of garbage (mass 10 kg, water content 70
%), Close the charging lid 5, and detect the detected water content of 70%.
Is manually input through the steps 201 and 202 of the flow of FIG.
At 3, the detection result l2 of the mass detection means 23 at this time is shown.
= 111 kg (100 kg of medium + 1 kg of remaining food waste)
+ The second input of garbage (10 kg) is input to the control device 15, and the garbage water content b2 = 70 by manual input
% Is also entered.

Then, at step 204, the mass m of the garbage
2, solid content mass md2, moisture mass mw2, input garbage integrated massΣm2, solid content integrated massΣmd2, and moisture integrated massΣ
mw2 = m2 = l2-k2 = 111-101 = 10 kg md2 = (1-b2 / 100) * m2 = 3 kg mw2 = b2 * m2 / 100 = 7 kg @ m2 = m1 + m2 = 10 + 10 = 20 kg @ md2 = md1 + md2 = 3 + 3 = 6 kg Σmw2 = mw1 + mw2 = 7 + 7 = 14 kg is calculated and displayed on the display unit 16b of the operation panel 16 (at the same time, displayed in the mass / moisture content display area 232 in the personal garbage processing details display window 227 of the personal computer 101 after the garbage is input). ).

Then, in step 210, the operation of the food waste disposer is started again, and the worker returns to the inside of the building 102.

(3) Until the start of the third garbage decomposition processing operation The second garbage decomposition processing is started as described above, and, for example, when a predetermined time (for example, one full day) elapses In the same way as the previous (first), the second input garbage m2 = 10k
It is assumed that 7 kg of water in g is completely evaporated and disappeared, and that 2 kg of 3 kg of solid content is decomposed and only 1 kg of solid content remains untreated. The medium 4 has a solid content,
It is assumed that there is no change in the mass of both moisture.

At this point, when the worker intends to input the garbage for the third time and turns on the garbage input button 229 of the garbage processing detailed display window 227 of the personal computer 101 again, the step 220 in the flow of FIG. Is satisfied, the operation of the food waste disposer 100 is stopped in step 230, and i = 3 in step 240.

Then, step 301 in the flow of FIG.
At this time, the detection result k3 by the mass detection means 23
= 102 kg (100 kg of medium + 1 kg of remaining raw garbage)
+ 2nd input garbage remaining amount 1 kg) is input to the control device 15, and the detection result a3ａ29.4% by the water content detection means 13 at this time is input to the control device 15.

Thereafter, at step 302, the solid content mass kd3 and the moisture mass kw3 of the contents are calculated as follows: kd3 = (1-a3 / 100) × k3 = 72 kg kw3 = a3 × k3 / 100 = 30 kg The content is displayed in the content amount / moisture content display area 230 of the processing detail display window 227 (the above k).
3, a3 are also displayed).

Then, at step 303, the garbage reduction n2, the solids reduction nd2, the water reduction nw2, the garbage reduction Σn2, the solid reduction Σnd2, and the water reduction Σnw.
2 is n2 = k2 + m2-k3 = 101 + 10-102 = 9 kg nd2 = kd2 + md2-kd3 = 71 + 3-72 = 2 kg nw2 = kw2 + mw2-kw3 = 30 + 7-30 = 7 kg Σn2 = n1 + n2 = 9 + 9 = 18 kg ＋ nd2 = n2d2 Σnw2 = nw1 + nw2 = 7 + 7 = 14 kg is calculated and displayed in the mass / moisture content display area 233 in the garbage processing detail display window 227 before the garbage is put.

That is, by operating the garbage disposer up to this point, 18 kg out of 20 kg of input garbage disappears and is reduced in volume, of which 14 kg is simply evaporation of water and the remaining 4 kg.
Is clearly detected and displayed as having been destroyed by the decomposition treatment of microorganisms, so that the user can accurately grasp and manage the actual processing amount of garbage remotely.

Thereafter, at step 304, the raw garbage unprocessed amount z2, the solid unprocessed amount zd2, the water unprocessed amount zw2, the integrated unprocessed amount Σz2, the solid content integrated unprocessed amount Σzd2, and the water integrated unprocessed amount Σzw2 Z2 = m2-n2 = 10-9 = 1 kg zd2 = md2-nd2 = 3-2 = 1 kg zw2 = mw2-nw2 = 7-7 = 0 kg Σz2 = z1 + z2 = 1 + 1 = 2 kg Σzd2 = zd1 + zd2 = 1 + 1 = 2 kg Σzw2 = Zw1 + zw2 = 0 + 0 = 0kg, and is displayed in the mass / water content display area 233 before the input of the garbage in the garbage processing detail display window 227.

Thereafter, in step 305, the processing vessel 2
Of solid content B in food and upper limit X of additional amount of garbage
B = kd3-kd2 = 72-71 = 1kg X = (C-kd3) / B = (220-72) / 1 = 148
The value of X is displayed in the garbage disposal detail display window 2
27 are displayed in the garbage input count display area 234.

In step 306, the garbage solids integrated unprocessed amount Σzd2 = 2 calculated in step 304 above.
Since the weight is kg, the determination is not satisfied, and the medium replacement display is not performed. Then, after step 310, step 2 is performed again.
Return to 00.

[0206] As described above, the third processing immediately before the input of the garbage is completed, and the worker goes to the installation place of the garbage processing machine 100 and removes the garbage (mass 10 kg, water content 70%) in the same manner as before. When you enter and manually enter the water content of 70%,
In step 203 of FIG. 19, the detection result l3 = 112 kg (100 kg of medium + remaining amount of first-time input garbage 1 kg + remaining amount of second-time input garbage 1 kg + third-time input garbage 10 kg) is input to the control device 15 in step 203 of FIG. As well as
The garbage water content b3 = 70% by the above manual input is also input.

Then, at step 204, the mass m of the garbage
3. Solid content mass md3, moisture mass mw3, input garbage integrated massΣm3, solid content integrated massΣmd3, and moisture integrated massΣ
mw3 = m3 = l3-k3 = 112-102 = 10 kg md3 = (1−b3 / 100) × m3 = 3 kg mw3 = b3 × m3 / 100 = 7 kg Σm3 = m1 + m2 + m3 = 30 kg The calculated value is 21 kg, which is displayed on the display unit 16b of the operation panel 16 (also displayed in the mass / moisture content display area 232 in the personal garbage disposal detail display window 227 of the personal computer 101).

Then, in step 210, the operation of the garbage disposer is started again, and the worker returns to the inside of the building 102.

(4) Immediately after the first additional medium addition The garbage decomposition process is started again as described above. For example, when a predetermined time has elapsed, the third input garbage m3
Suppose that 7 kg of water out of 10 kg evaporates and disappears, 2 kg of solids are decomposed by 2 kg out of 3 kg, and only 1 kg of solids remains untreated. The medium 4 is assumed to be in a state where there is no change in the mass of both the solid content and the water content.

At this point, the operator turns on the medium input button 228 of the garbage processing detail display window 227 of the operation panel operation unit 16 personal computer 101 with the intention of adding the medium 4 for the first time. Then, FIG.
Is satisfied, the operation of the food waste disposer 100 is stopped in step 260 in the same manner as in step 230, and j = 1 in step 270.
Becomes

Then, step 401 in the flow of FIG.
, The detection result k1 of the mass detection means 23 at this time
= 103 kg (100 kg of medium + 1 kg of remaining raw garbage)
+ 2nd input remaining amount of garbage 1 kg + 3rd input remaining amount of garbage 1 kg) is input to the control device 15.

Then, the user goes to the place where the garbage disposer 100 is installed and opens the charging lid 5, and the moisture content is detected by, for example, a known means in advance (or from the fixed value manually input by the user, or from the set storage value). ) (For example, mass 100 kg, water content 30%), and the input lid 5 is closed. Then, Step 402 and Step 403 of the flow of FIG.
At 04, the detection result l1 = 203 kg by the mass detecting means 23
(200 kg of medium + 3 kg of residual garbage) is input to the control device 15, and b1 = 70% by manual input is also input.

In step 405, the mass h1, the solid mass hd1, the moisture mass hw1, the cumulative mass H = Σh1, the cumulative solid mass Hd = Σhd1, and the cumulative moisture mass Hw = Σhw1 of the charging medium 4 are given by h1 = L1-k1 = 203-103 = 100kg hd1 = (1-b1 / 100) xh1 = 70kg hw1 = b1xh1 / 100 = 30kg H = Σh1 = 100kg Hd = Σhd1 = 70kg Hw = Σhw1 = 30kg Is displayed on the display unit 16b of the operation panel 16 (the above k1, l1, and b1 are also displayed. Also, the mass / moisture content display area 231 in the personal garbage processing detail display window 227 when additional medium is added is displayed. Is also displayed at the same time). Then, in step 410, the operation of the garbage disposer is started.

(5) Until immediately before the 4th garbage input Here, the medium 4 is additionally input as described above, and the garbage input switch of the operation panel is intended to immediately use the 4th garbage input in order to utilize the medium 4. When 16a2 is turned on again, FIG.
The determination at step 220 in the flow of No. 6 is satisfied, the operation of the garbage disposal is stopped at step 230, and i = 4 at step 240.

Then, step 301 in the flow of FIG.
At this time, the detection result k4 by the mass detecting means 23
= 203 kg (200 kg of medium + 3 kg of remaining garbage remaining) is input to the control device 15 and the water content detection means 13 at this time (however, the water content detection means 13 detects the water content by the temporary operation of the garbage processing machine) A4 ≒ 29.6% is input to the controller 15.

Thereafter, at step 302, the solid content mass kd4 and the moisture mass kw4 of the contents are calculated as follows: kd4 = (1-a4 / 100) × k4 = 143 kg kw4 = a4 × k4 / 100 = 60 kg 16 are displayed on the display section 16b (the above k4 and a4 are also displayed.
1 is also displayed in the content / moisture content display area 230 at the same time).

Then, at step 303, the garbage loss n3, the solid content nd3, the water loss nw3, the garbage cumulative weight loss Σn3, the integrated solid weight loss Σnd3, and the water loss Σnw
3 is n3 = k3 + m3 + H-k4 = 102 + 10 + 100-20
3 = 9 kg nd3 = kd3 + md3 + Hd-kd4 = 72 + 3 + 70-14
3 = 2 kg nw3 = kw3 + mw3 + Hw-kw4 = 30 + 7 + 30-60
= 7 kg Σn3 = n1 + n2 + n3 = 27 kg Σnd3 = nd1 + nd2 + nd3 = 6 kg Σnw3 = nw1 + nw2 + nw3 = 21 kg and is displayed on the display section 16b of the operation panel 16 (the garbage processing detail display window 22 of the personal computer 101).
7 is also displayed in the mass / moisture content display area 233 before the input of garbage).

That is, even if the content of the contents in the processing container 2 is greatly increased by the addition of the medium 4 as described above, the corresponding garbage is handled similarly to the above (2) and (3). By operating the processor 100, 27 kg out of 30 kg of input garbage disappeared and its volume was reduced, of which 21 kg was simply evaporated by water, and the remaining 6 kg was detected by clearly distinguishing that it was disappeared by microbial decomposition treatment. Can be displayed.

Thereafter, at step 304, the raw garbage unprocessed amount z3, the solid content unprocessed amount zd3, the water unprocessed amount zw3, the integrated unprocessed amount Σz3, the solid content integrated unprocessed amount Σzd3, and the water integrated unprocessed amount Σzw3 Z3 = m3-n3 = 10-9 = 1 kg zd3 = md3-nd3 = 3-2 = 1 kg zw3 = mw3-nw3 = 7-7 = 0 kg Σz3 = z1 + z2 + z3 = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 kg Σzd3 = zd1 + zd2 + zd3 = 1 + 1z = Zw1 + zw2 + zw3 = 0 + 0 + 0 = 0 kg and is displayed on the display section 16b of the operation panel 16 (the garbage processing detailed display window 22 of the personal computer 101).
7 is also displayed in the mass / moisture content display area 233 before the input of garbage).

Steps 305 and 306
This is the same as the above (2) and (3), and the description is omitted.

As described in the above (1) to (5), when additional garbage is to be added thereafter, as shown in FIG.
If the determination in step 220 is satisfied and step 230
Steps 310 to 310 are performed, and when the medium 4 is additionally loaded, the determination at Step 250 of FIG. 16 is satisfied, and Steps 260 to 410 are performed.
Return to 00 and repeat the same procedure.

Each time the step 303 in FIG. 19 is performed, as described above, not only the amount of input garbage that has disappeared and volume has been reduced by the operation of the garbage disposer up to that time, but also It is possible to clearly distinguish and detect how many of them are due to the mere evaporation of water and how many of them have disappeared by the decomposition treatment of microorganisms, and remotely display them on the personal computer 101 in the building 102. . As described above, since the volume reduction of the solid content of the garbage can be obtained by clearly distinguishing from the volume reduction of the water content of the garbage, the operator can accurately and remotely determine the substantial throughput of the garbage. Can grasp and manage.

In addition, every time step 305 is performed, the upper limit value X of the number of times of garbage input until the medium is replaced at that time is remotely displayed.
It is possible to grasp the approximate replacement time of the medium 4 without having to go to the installation location of 0, to optimize the maintenance time (immediate response) and the number of times (required minimum) of the garbage disposal and to improve the operation efficiency. And cost reduction. further,
Each time after step 306, it is determined whether or not additional garbage can be added without replacing the medium. If additional garbage is difficult to be added, the fact is displayed on the personal computer 101. The maintenance time of the garbage disposal machine 100 can be easily known without going to the place where the garbage disposal machine 100 is installed. Therefore, this also makes it possible to optimize the timing and frequency of maintenance, thereby improving operation efficiency and reducing costs.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to remotely determine the reduction ndi-1 of the solid content of garbage by clearly distinguishing it from the reduction nwi-1 of the water content of the garbage. Therefore, the user can accurately grasp and manage the substantial amount of garbage, and can do so without going to the place where the garbage processing machine 100 is installed.

The processing function of the machine-side control device 15 has a function of collecting the operating time of each mode of the garbage disposal apparatus 100 in addition to the above. The operation information processing unit 305 has a function of processing the operation time for each mode.

First, the function of collecting the operating time for each mode of the machine-side control device 15 will be described. FIG. 25 shows the control device 1.
13 is a flowchart illustrating a function of collecting operation time by mode in the CPU 15a of FIG.

In FIG. 25, at step 510, CPU 15a first determines whether or not garbage processor 100 is operating. Specifically, for example, the personal computer 101
Of the mode operation display screens 212 and 225 (or the manual operation display screen 223) of the
It is determined whether 0 is in a clicked state (or an operation start switch (not shown) provided in the operation panel operation unit 16a is turned on). If it is determined that the vehicle is not driving, step 510 is repeated. If it is determined that the vehicle is in operation, the date and time at this time are set to R using the timer 15g.
The result is stored in the AM 15c and the process proceeds to the next step 520.

At step 520, it is determined whether or not garbage has been thrown. Specifically, the garbage processing machine 100
When the loading lid 5 is opened and closed and the mass detected by the mass detecting means 23 increases, it is determined that garbage is to be thrown. If the determination is satisfied, the process proceeds to step 530, where the operation time in the mode at that time is calculated using the date / time information of the timer 15g, and stored in the RAM 15c in association with the date and time.
After the accumulation, the flow ends. In this case, if the medium is exchanged (additional insertion) at the same time (the discrimination is made by clicking the medium insertion button 228 or the medium insertion switch 16a1 of the operation panel operation unit 16a), the fact is also associated. deep. If the determination in step 520 is not satisfied, the process moves to step 540.

At step 540, it is determined whether or not the mode has been changed. Specifically, for example, in the state where another mode is selected in FIGS. 9 and 10 in the above-described embodiment, the operation start button 22 in FIG.
Determine if 0 has been clicked. If the determination is satisfied, the process proceeds to step 550, where the operation time in the mode before the change is calculated using the date / time information of the timer 15g, stored in the RAM 15c in association with the date and time,
accumulate. If the determination in step 540 is not satisfied, the process moves to step 560.

In step 560, the garbage processing machine 100
It is determined whether the operation has stopped. Specifically, as described above, for example, the mode operation display screens 212 and 225 of the personal computer 101 (or the manual operation display screen 223)
It is determined whether or not the "stop" button 221 is clicked (or a stop switch (not shown) provided on the operation panel operation unit 16a is turned on). If it is determined that the stop operation has been performed, the process proceeds to step 53.
0, and stores the operating time in the mode at that time. If it is determined that the stop operation has not been performed, the process returns to step 520 described above.

The CPU 15a performs such a process every predetermined cycle while the power of the control device 15 is ON, whereby the operating time of each mode from the time of one application to the time of the next application (for each mode). Processing time).

Since the weight reduction information processing function in the CPU 15a of the control device 15 is the same as that described in the other embodiment of the control system of the garbage processing machine of the present invention with reference to FIGS. Then, the description is omitted.
