Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an organic substance processing apparatus for decomposing organic substances such as garbage by a microbial decomposition method, and more particularly to an organic substance processing apparatus having a discharge mechanism for discharging a processed substance using overflow. It is about.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An organic matter processing apparatus of this type stores a carrier of microorganisms that decompose organic matter (such as wood chips such as sawdust) in a treatment tank, and removes organic matter such as food waste. Decomposition treatment is performed by microorganisms cultured on a carrier. In order to maintain the inside of the treatment tank in an environment suitable for activation of microorganisms that decompose organic substances, the microorganism carrier in the treatment tank and the organic matter such as garbage are periodically stirred and mixed using a stirring means, and the mixture is ventilated. While exhausting exhaust air from the inside of the processing tank using means and taking in fresh air, heating the inside of the processing tank using heating means to maintain the temperature and moisture content suitable for microbial activation I have.

[0003] An apparatus of this type having a discharge mechanism for discharging a processed material by using an overflow is disclosed, for example, in JP-A-2000-202403 (B09B3).
/ 00), in which an overflow port formed in the upper part of the fermenter (processing tank) and a drawer-type tray arranged below the fermenter are communicated by a tubular shooter passing through the casing. .

[0004]

However, in such a conventional apparatus, the overflowed processed material is stored in a tray disposed below the processing tank via a tubular shooter that passes through a casing. There were the following issues.

First, it is not easy to confirm the amount of the discharged material from the appearance. Processed material accumulated in the tray must be removed before it becomes full, but it is troublesome to pull out the tray and see it each time, and it tends to be forgotten. And cost increases.

[0006] In addition, if the state of the discharged processing object such as stickiness is observed, the processing state in the processing tank is abnormal. However, as described above, the state of the discharged processing object cannot be easily confirmed from the external appearance. Detection of abnormalities in the processing state and countermeasures are delayed.

Further, since the overflow port of the processing tank and the tray are separated from each other, the processing object is liable to be clogged in the shooter connecting them, and even if clogged, the processing object cannot be detected and cannot be easily removed. .

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the applicant of the present invention forms a discharge port for overflowing the processing object in the processing tank and detachably attaches the discharge port to the outer surface of the outer case corresponding to the discharge port. An application having a stocker in which a front side is formed of a translucent member has been already filed (Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-332563).

[0009] By the way, if only the discharge port due to the overflow as described above is used, when the state of the microbial carrier deteriorates and it becomes necessary to exchange the entire amount of the carrier, it must be performed from the input port. If a discharge port opened and closed by a shutter or the like is provided at the bottom of the processing tank, the entire amount of the carrier can be easily exchanged.

However, with this configuration, the stocker can be attached to the outer case even when the shutter at the bottom discharge port is not mounted or not properly mounted. It leaks out of the outlet. Further, if a detecting means for detecting the mounting state of the shutter is provided to prevent such a problem, the structure becomes complicated and the cost increases.

Further, if a processed material outlet which can be opened and closed by a shutter or the like is provided at the bottom of the stocker, the processed material accumulated in the stocker can be easily taken out. If the stocker is attached to the main body side by forgetting, the processed material discharged from the processing tank into the stocker leaks from the processed material outlet at the bottom.

Further, if the stocker as described above is provided, the shooter as in the above-mentioned conventional publication becomes unnecessary,
Although the problem that the shooter is clogged is eliminated, the discharge port may be clogged due to the overflow of the processing tank.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and it is relatively easy to prevent leakage of a carrier or a processing object caused by mounting a stocker without mounting a shutter of a processing tank or a stocker. It is an object of the present invention to provide an organic material processing apparatus that can prevent such a problem with a simple configuration.

It is another object of the present invention to quickly cope with a situation where the discharge port is blocked due to overflow.

[0015]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention relates to a treatment tank containing a carrier for microorganisms that decompose organic substances, and a processing tank for decomposing organic substances such as garbage to be introduced. An exterior case accommodating the processing tank, an agitation means for agitating and mixing the organic substance charged in the processing tank and the accommodated carrier, and an opening / closing member that can be opened at the bottom of the processing tank and fixed in a closed state. Is mounted, an upper outlet through which the processed material in the processing tank overflows with the stirring by the stirring means, and a flow which is detachably attached to the outer case and communicates with the upper outlet. An inlet is formed, and a stocker is provided for storing the processed material overflowing from the upper outlet, and a supporting portion for supporting the stocker is formed on the opening / closing member of the lower outlet. Is shall.

The opening / closing member comprises a shutter mounted on the bottom outlet, and a stopper for fixing the mounted shutter, wherein the support is formed on the stopper. .

Further, the shutter and the stopper are integrally formed.

[0018] Further, a processed product outlet is formed at a lower portion of the stocker, and an engaging portion for engaging with the support portion is formed on a shutter for opening and closing the processed product outlet. .

Further, a groove is formed on the outer surface of the outer case corresponding to the upper discharge port of the processing tank, and a handle portion slidable up and down is formed on the upper portion of the stocker.
The handle is formed with an insertion piece inserted into the groove.

Further, a partition plate whose lower side communicates with the upper discharge port in the processing tank is formed.

Further, there is provided a detecting means for detecting the closed state of the upper discharge port, and a notifying means for notifying when the closed state of the upper discharge port is detected by the detecting means. It is assumed that.

Also, at least a part of the stocker is formed to be transparent or translucent over the height direction of the stocker.

[0023]

It is connected to a stirring motor (not shown) that is driven forward and reverse through a drive mechanism 13, and the rotation of the stirring motor is reduced and transmitted, so that the motor is driven forward and reverse. .

Although not shown, a control board, on which a control unit such as a microcomputer is mounted, is mounted above the deceleration drive mechanism 13. Each part of the device is controlled. Above the control board, there is provided an operation display unit for switching the operation mode of the present apparatus, turning on / off deodorization, and displaying a state.

A surface heater (not shown) is attached to the front surface and left and right side surfaces of the processing tank 1 except for the rear surface side, and the control unit uses a thermistor built in the surface heater. The inside of the treatment tank 1 is controlled so as to be maintained within a temperature range (about 40 ° C. to 60 ° C.) suitable for activating microorganisms.

Further, although not shown, since it is not directly related to the present invention, a ventilation fan, an exhaust filter, an exhaust port,
A ventilation mechanism including an intake port and the like, a heating catalytic deodorizing mechanism including a heater and a catalyst arranged in an exhaust passage, and the like are provided.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 8 and the like, a bottom outlet 20 for exchanging the entire amount of the carrier is formed from the bottom of the processing tank 1 to the lower part of the front wall so as to be opened and closed by a pull-out type shutter 21. ing. A take-out guide 22 inclined forward is attached to the lower side of the bottom discharge port 20. By pulling out the shutter 21, the carrier can be taken out to the front side of the outer case 2 via the guide 22. Has become. The shutter 21 is
An abutting portion 24 which abuts on a rib 23 formed on the back side thereof
By attaching a stopper 25 having a shape, the bottom discharge port 20 is fixed in a sealed state. A pair of support portions 26 for supporting a stocker described below are formed on both sides of the front surface of the stopper 20.

On the other hand, in the upper part of the front wall of the processing tank 1, an upper discharge port 30 for discharging the processed material by overflow is formed. In the vicinity of the upper discharge port 30, a partition plate 31 communicating with the lower side is attached over the entire width of the processing tank 1. The partition plate 31 extends obliquely downward from the upper inside of the upper case 4, and is directed downward so as to cover the stirring blade 9 that stirs the vicinity of the upper discharge port 30.
And a decomposition part in which the garbage input by the partition plate 31 is decomposed, and a treated ripening part which prevents the inflow of undecomposed garbage just input and further promotes decomposition. And is divided into.

The upper discharge port 30 is formed in a short cylindrical shape directed obliquely downward, and is exposed at the upper front side of the lower case 3. In addition, a groove 32 is formed above the exposed upper discharge port 30, into which an insertion piece formed in the handle of the stocker described below is inserted.

On the front side of the lower case 3, a stocker 34 having an inlet 33 formed on the upper side thereof and communicating with the upper outlet 30 is detachably attached. On the front side of the stocker 34, a stocker 34
A transparent window 35 made of a transparent or translucent member is formed over the height direction of the object, so that the state of the processing object accumulated inside can be seen. In addition, a handle portion 3 slidable up and down is provided above the stocker 35.
6 is attached, and an insertion piece 37 to be inserted into the groove 32 is formed on the back surface side of the handle portion 36.

On the other hand, the bottom 38 of the stocker 34 is provided with a processed material take-out port 40 for taking out the collected processed material, and is configured to be opened and closed by a drawer-type shutter 41. In the present embodiment, on the back side of the handle portion 42 of the shutter 41, corresponding to the support portions 26 formed on both sides of the front surface of the stopper 25,
An engagement portion 43 that engages with the support portion 26 is formed. 5 is a bottom view of the stocker 34, FIGS. 6 and 7 are rear views of the stocker 34, FIG. 6 shows a state in which a shutter 41 is attached to the processed material outlet 40, and FIG. 3 shows a state where the shutter 41 is not mounted.

As shown in FIG. 8, the stocker 34 is mounted with the shutter 41 mounted on the processed material taking-out port 40, the shutter 21 is mounted on the bottom discharge port 20 on the main body side, and the stopper 25 is mounted. It is performed after fixing with.

First, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the stocker 34 is tilted obliquely so that the engaging portion 43 formed on the back surface of the handle portion 42 of the shutter 41 mounted on the bottom portion 38 is moved to the main body side. The shutter 21 is hooked on a support portion 26 formed on a stopper 25. Then, the user holds the upper handle portion 36 of the stocker 34 and slides it upward. In this state, the stocker 34 is pressed against the outer case 2 as shown in FIGS. When the handle portion 36 is slid downward in this state, the insertion piece 37 formed on the back surface side of the handle portion 26
Inserting the stocker 34 into the groove 32 on the side completes. When removing the stocker 34, the operation is reversed. Thus, the stocker 3 of the present embodiment
4 can be easily attached and detached.

Further, since the stopper 25 is for fixing the shutter 21 securely mounted, the stocker 34 cannot be mounted if the shutter 21 is not in such a state. It is possible to reliably prevent the leakage of the carrier due to the non-attachment of the shutter 21 or the improper attachment of the shutter 21 with a relatively simple configuration without any problem.

Further, the processed material outlet 4 of the stocker 34
If the shutter 41 is not attached to the stocker 34, the stocker 34 cannot be attached. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the leakage of the processing object due to the attachment of the shutter 41 on the stocker 34 side.

The stocker 34 is provided with the stopper 25
The center of gravity of the stocker 34 is located forward of the support portion 26 in a state where the engagement portion 43 located at the lower portion on the back side of the stocker 34 is engaged with the support portion 26 formed at the bottom. Therefore, if the insertion piece 37 is not inserted into the groove 32 on the outer case 2 side when the handle portion 36 is slid downward when the above-described stocker 34 is attached, the center of gravity is located forward of the support portion 26. You will fall forward. Thereby, it is possible to inform the user that the attachment is insufficient, and it is not possible to use the device in an insufficiently attached state. With such a configuration, a processed product leaks, water, insects, and the like are leaked from a gap generated between the upper outlet 30 of the processing tank 1 and the inlet 33 of the stocker 34 due to use in an insufficiently mounted state. Intrusion can be prevented beforehand.

In the above arrangement, a certain amount of the microorganism carrier is previously charged into the treatment tank 1 at the start of use of the present apparatus. And when processing garbage, the lid 7
Is opened, garbage is thrown into the treatment tank 1 from the inlet 6 and the lid 7 is closed. When the lid 7 is closed, a detection unit (not shown) detects this, and the control unit mounted on the control board starts controlling the power supply to the stirring motor, the planar heater, the ventilation fan, and the like based on the output. .

By controlling the power supply to the stirring motor, the stirring shaft 10 on which the stirring blades 9 are erected intermittently (for example, every 30 minutes for one minute for two minutes) to rotate the carrier and the organic matter stably. While mixing, the temperature in the treatment tank 1 is maintained in an optimum range for the activation of microorganisms by controlling the energization of the planar heater, and organic matter is decomposed into carbon dioxide and water by the microorganisms cultured on the carrier to compost. Become

Further, by controlling the energization of the ventilation fan, the humid air in the processing tank 1 is discharged to the outside from the exhaust port, thereby preventing the inside of the processing tank 1 from becoming a high humidity state. As the air is discharged to the outside, fresh outside air is taken into the outer case 2 from an intake port formed at the bottom of the lower case 3 and the like, and oxygen required for activating microorganisms is supplied into the treatment tank 1. I do.

The operation of this apparatus is controlled as described above.
Due to daily input of garbage, the amount of the processed material in the processing tank 1 increases, and when reaching the vicinity of the upper discharge port 30, the processed material is swelled by periodic stirring, and the processed material is discharged to the upper discharge port 30.
, And accumulates in the stocker 34. In addition, if a processing product having a processing capacity or more is stored in the processing tank 1, the agitation of the upper part cannot be performed satisfactorily, so that the processing becomes unstable. And stable processing can be performed. Further, a shutter 21 at a bottom outlet 20 of the processing tank 1 is provided.
It is not necessary to pull out and periodically discharge the processed material,
When the processed material increases, it is automatically (naturally) discharged, so that the usability is remarkably improved, and the processed material accumulated in the stocker 34 is aged in a dry state, so that it can be converted into a high-quality organic fertilizer with less stickiness. I will finish.

Further, a transparent window 35 on which a transparent or translucent member is mounted is formed on the front surface of the stocker 34, and since the stocker 34 itself is on the front side of the apparatus, it is possible to use a sensor without using a sensor or the like. With an inexpensive configuration, the user can check at a glance the amount of the processed material discharged into the stocker 34 without being conscious of, for example, putting in the garbage, and remove the stocker 34 before the container is full to remove the processed material outlet 40. By pulling out the shutter 41, the processed material can be transferred to another container or the like or used as it is as fertilizer. When removing the stocker 34, the stirring blade 9
It is preferable to temporarily stop the operation of the apparatus in order to prevent the processed material from overflowing to the front of the apparatus due to the periodic stirring of the apparatus. Stocker 3
It is also possible to provide a reed switch or the like for detecting the attachment / detachment of the stocker 4, and to turn on / off the operation of the apparatus in conjunction with the attachment / detachment of the stocker 34.

Further, since the state of the discharged processed material such as stickiness can be easily confirmed, it is possible to confirm the abnormality of the processing state in the processing tank 1 without opening the lid 7, and to improve the water content when the garbage is charged. It is possible to improve the processing state by taking measures such as turning on and then turning on.

Further, since the upper discharge port 30 of the processing tank 1 and the inflow port 33 of the stocker 34 communicate with each other, the processed material to be discharged is not easily clogged. Even if it becomes clogged, the stocker 34 can be easily removed, so that the user can easily remove the stocker 34 and remove the clog.

Further, a partition plate 31 is provided near the upper discharge port 30.
Is attached, so that unprocessed materials such as freshly thrown garbage do not go directly near the upper discharge port 30, and such unprocessed substances are discharged from the upper discharge port 30 to the stocker 34. Can be reliably prevented.

In this embodiment, the shutter 21 and the stopper 25 of the above embodiment are integrally formed, and the stopper 25a is provided with the same support 26 as in the above embodiment.

When the shutter 21 and the stopper 25 are formed as separate parts as in the above-described embodiment, the number of parts increases, and the parts are likely to be loose during use and leak of the carrier is likely to occur. If the dimensions vary due to the molding conditions of the parts, the operating force for attaching and detaching the stopper 25 varies, which leads to strict dimensional control and high cost.

On the other hand, by integrally forming the shutter portion 21a and the stopper portion 25a as in the present embodiment, in addition to the effects of the above-described embodiment, the number of parts can be reduced and the cost can be reduced by facilitating dimensional management. Can be achieved.

In the above description, the integrated stopper portion 2
Although the support portion 26 is formed on the shutter portion 5a, the same operation and effect as described above can be obtained even if the support portion 26 is formed on the shutter portion 21a.

FIGS. 15 and 16 are views showing still another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the same reference numerals as those of the above-mentioned embodiment indicate the same or corresponding parts. FIG. 15 is a front view showing a state where the stocker 34 is removed.

In this embodiment, in addition to the above-described embodiment, a light emitting section 50 composed of an infrared light emitting element or the like is attached to one side of the upper discharge port 30 opposite to that shown in FIG. The part 51 is attached. When the upper discharge port 30 is not normally clogged with the processing object, the light emitting unit 50
Is received by the light receiving unit 51, but when the upper discharge port 30 is clogged with the processed object, the infrared light from the light emitting unit 50 is not received by the light receiving unit 51. When the infrared ray is no longer received by the light receiving section 51, the control section including a microcomputer mounted on the control board detects this, and
As shown in FIG. 16, the LED 53 of the display unit 52 provided on the upper surface of the lid 7 is made to blink to notify the clogging of the upper discharge port 30.

With this configuration, in addition to the operation and effect of the above-described embodiment, even if the upper discharge port 30 is clogged with the processed material, the user can be immediately notified of the fact by blinking the LED 53. When the upper discharge port 30 is clogged with the processing object, the clogging can be promptly removed by cleaning the upper discharge port 30 or the like.

Also, when the stocker 34 is full of the processed material, the upper discharge port 30 is closed and becomes in the same state as when it is clogged.
Since 53 is flashed and notified, it is also possible to notify when to remove the processed material from the stocker 34.
