[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a garbage disposer for decomposing garbage generated in restaurants, food processors and the like, and more particularly to a method for finely adjusting the water content of a microbial carrier and for supplying water. The present invention relates to a garbage disposer capable of preventing a temperature drop of a microorganism carrier.

2. Description of the Related Art Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-2963 discloses a method for decomposing garbage generated in homes, restaurants and the like.
A so-called garbage processing machine (garbage processing apparatus) as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 80 has been proposed. The garbage processing machine according to this conventional technique is configured to stir garbage thrown into a processing tank together with a processing medium (floor material) mixed with microorganisms by a stirring means (stirring blade), and to turn the garbage into gas by a fermentation action of the processing medium. And water to decompose and thereby reduce the amount of garbage.

At this time, in this prior art, in order to activate the microorganisms in the processing tank, the temperature of the processing medium is adjusted to an appropriate value by appropriately blowing hot air to the processing medium, or the water content detecting means is used. (Water content meter) detects the water content of the treatment medium (strictly, a mixture of the treatment medium and garbage), and when the detection result falls below a predetermined value, water supply means (water sprinkling means)
Thus, the habitat of microorganisms is improved by supplying water to the treatment medium. This water supply means is composed of a watering valve and a water sprinkler.When water is supplied to the processing medium, the watering valve is opened to supply water to the processing medium via the water sprinkler, and the detection result of the water content detecting means is obtained. When a predetermined value is reached, water supply is stopped. Further, the supply water supplied to the processing medium is heated by a solar water heater and stored as hot water in a hot water storage tank. By using this hot water when supplying the processing medium, the supply water is used to supply the processing medium. To prevent the temperature of the water from lowering and the habitat of microorganisms from deteriorating.

[0004]

In the above prior art, as described above, the water content of the processing medium is detected by the water content detecting means, and when the detection result becomes a predetermined value or less, hot water is supplied to the processing medium. Water is supplied, and thereafter, when the detection result reaches a predetermined value, the supply of water is stopped, thereby adjusting the water content of the processing medium and preventing the temperature of the processing medium from decreasing at that time.

[0005] However, the above prior art has the following problems. That is, in the above-mentioned prior art, the idea of adjusting the amount of water supplied by the water supply means is not disclosed, and the detection result of the water content is slightly smaller than a predetermined value until the water content reaches the predetermined value. Even when a small amount of water is not required, the processing medium is supplied with a constant amount of water. Also, detection of the water content by the water content detection means may require a certain time,
A time-series error may be included between the value at the time of detecting the water content and the detection result. Therefore, when the amount of supplied water is constant, when the detection result of the water content detection means reaches a predetermined value, the actual water content of the processing medium may greatly exceed the predetermined value. In technology, it may be difficult to maintain good habitat of microorganisms.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to finely adjust the water content of a microorganism carrier and to prevent a decrease in the temperature of the microorganism carrier during water supply. To provide a refuse treatment machine.

The amount of hot water supplied to the processing medium can be adjusted according to the water content of the processing medium. For example, if control means for controlling the processing medium water supply amount adjusting means is provided and the water supply amount of the processing medium water supply amount adjusting means is controlled in accordance with the detection result of the water content of the processing medium by the water content detecting means, The amount of water supplied to the processing medium can be adjusted according to the difference between the set moisture content and a predetermined moisture content.

That is, when the detected water content is slightly smaller than the predetermined value and does not require much supply water before returning to the predetermined value, a command signal is output to the processing medium water supply amount adjusting means to output the processing medium. By reducing the amount of water supplied to the apparatus, even if the water content detection means requires a predetermined time to detect the water content, when the detection result of the water content detection means returns to the predetermined value, the actual water content becomes It is possible to prevent the value from greatly exceeding the predetermined value.

[0010] Further, since hot water is used as the water supplied to the processing medium, it is possible to prevent the temperature of the processing medium from decreasing when the water content is adjusted. Therefore, the water content of the microorganism carrier (treatment medium) for decomposing garbage can be finely adjusted, and the temperature of the treatment medium during water supply can be prevented from lowering.

In this way, when removing odors by using microorganisms, deodorization is performed so that the decomposition of odor components by microorganisms is actively performed in the same manner as in the case where it is necessary to ensure a good habitat for microorganisms in the processing medium in the processing tank. It is necessary to improve the habitat of microorganisms in the device.

Therefore, in the present invention, detection is provided by providing a deodorizing medium water supply means for supplying warm water to the deodorizing medium of the deodorizing device, and a deodorizing medium water supply amount adjusting means for adjusting the water supply amount of the deodorizing medium water supplying means. The amount of warm water supplied to the deodorizing medium is adjusted according to the water content of the deodorizing medium.

Thus, as described above, when adjusting the water content,
The water content of the deodorized medium after the adjustment is prevented from significantly exceeding a predetermined value, and since hot water is used for the water supplied to the deodorizing medium, the temperature of the deodorizing medium during the water content adjustment may be reduced. Can be prevented. Therefore, the water content of the microorganism carrier (deodorizing medium) that decomposes the odor component can be finely adjusted, and the temperature of the deodorizing medium during water supply can be prevented from lowering.

A stirring means for stirring the processing medium or the deodorizing medium is provided.

Next, the operation of the garbage processing machine of the present embodiment having the above configuration will be described. Here, FIG. 12 is a block diagram illustrating an entire configuration of the garbage processing machine of the present embodiment,
The same reference numerals are given to portions corresponding to the same portions as those in the preceding drawings, and the preceding drawings are referred to as necessary. This figure 1
In the case of performing garbage disposal in 2, the operation panel 9
By operating the predetermined switch, the input lid 6 is opened and the garbage to be subjected to the fermentation decomposition processing is input into the processing tank 10 containing the processing medium via the input port 7 (see FIG. 5). At this time, as described above, the worker puts the garbage to be put into the lift container of the loading lift device and performs a predetermined operation using the operation panel 9, and in response to this operation, the control device 32 causes the loading lift device to operate. A command signal for instructing the lifting / lowering and tilting of the lift container and the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing lid 6 is output to the motor of the loading lift device and the driving device 8 of the opening / closing lid 6.

Next, when a predetermined switch on the operation panel 9 is operated to start the operation of the garbage disposal machine, the control device 32
By appropriately rotating and driving the stirring means 13 in the processing tank and appropriately stirring the inputted garbage with the processing medium,
The frequency of contact between microorganisms mixed with the processing medium and garbage is ensured, and the garbage is decomposed. At this time, the control device 32
In accordance with the stored program, a command is issued to the drive device 21 of the agitation means 13 in the processing tank 13 at a predetermined rotation speed of, for example, about several pm to about 1 to 2 minutes per hour, or appropriately according to the operation of the operation panel 9. Output a signal. In addition, the input of garbage is detected (specifically, for example, the opening / closing of the input lid 6 is detected by a limit switch, or the processing tank 1 is detected by the load cell 35).
(Such as detection of a weight change of 0), and at that time, drive control may be performed at a predetermined rotational speed under the above-described drive conditions. Further, through an inverter as shown in FIG.
The drive device 21 may be controlled by an inverter.

At this time, in order to ensure a suitable activity environment of the microorganisms in the processing tank 10, the temperature and the water content of the processing medium are detected by the temperature sensor 37 and the water content sensor 39, respectively. A command signal is output to the processing tank heater 38 and the electromagnetic proportional valve 41 in accordance with these detection results, and the processing medium is appropriately heated and humidified. Further, when water is supplied to the processing medium, the stirring means 13 in the processing tank is driven for a predetermined time (for example, about 1 to 2 minutes) to make the water content uniform.

On the other hand, in order to supply fresh oxygen to the microorganisms mixed in the processing medium in the processing tank 10, the inlet 5
3 is introduced into the treatment tank 10 through the heat exchanger 54, the intake duct 55, the intake hose 3 and the like, and gas generated in the treatment tank 10 due to the decomposition of garbage. And the like are exhausted to the outside of the processing tank 10 from the exhaust port 25 (see FIG. 4) to ventilate the processing tank 10. At this time, the suspended matter in the treatment tank 10 such as the treatment medium finely divided by the stirring is collected by the filter 26 (see FIG. 4), and the suspended matter deposited on the filter 26 is appropriately removed by the vibrator 2.
The filter 26 is shaken by being excited by the filter 7. The driving control of the vibrator 27 is performed by an anemometer for detecting the amount of exhaust air, a moisture content sensor 39, a temperature sensor 37.
The controller 32 estimates that the filter 26 is clogged in response to a change in the state quantity determined based on the detection result of (or another temperature sensor for detecting the ambient temperature in the processing tank 10). In this case, the vibrator 27 may be driven or the operation panel 9 may be operated appropriately.

The exhaust gas led out of the processing tank 10 is led into the deodorizing unit 2 via the exhaust hose 4, and then flows into the heat exchanger 54 via the duct 56A, where it is connected with the relatively low-temperature outside air. It is cooled by heat exchange to remove contained water. The condensed water is drained to the container 58 (see FIG. 9) through the drain 56Bb (see FIG. 9) and the hose 57 (see FIG. 9) as described above.

The exhaust gas from which the moisture has been removed by passing through the heat exchanger 54 passes through the heating duct 56B.
After being heated by the 6Ba, the exhaust fan 59 actively sends the air to the deodorizing device 60 through the deodorizing device introduction duct 56E to decompose and remove the odor contained by the microorganisms mixed in the deodorizing medium in the deodorizing device 60. . At this time,
The control device 32 drives the deodorizing medium stirring means 65 appropriately and appropriately stirs the deodorizing medium, thereby making the water content of the deodorizing medium uniform and securing the gas permeability of the deodorizing medium, thereby controlling the deodorizing medium. The active environment of the microorganisms mixed is improved, and the pressure loss of exhaust gas is reduced. At that time, the control device 32 deodorizes according to the stored program, for example, at a predetermined rotation speed of, for example, about 1 to 3 rpm, at intervals of once every half day for about 1 to 2 minutes, or appropriately according to the operation of the operation panel 9. A command signal for driving the medium stirring means 65 is output to the driving device 70.

At this time, the temperature and the water content of the deodorizing medium are measured by a temperature sensor 76 and a water content sensor 77, respectively, in order to secure a suitable environment for the activity of the microorganisms in the deodorizing device 60.
The control device 32 outputs a command signal to the exhaust heater 56Ba and the electromagnetic proportional valve 79 according to the detection results, and appropriately heats and humidifies the deodorizing medium. When water is supplied to the deodorizing medium, the deodorizing medium stirring means 65 is driven for a predetermined time (for example, about 1 to 2 minutes) to stir the deodorizing medium to make the water content uniform.

Then, the exhaust gas from which the odor has been removed by passing through the deodorizing device 60 flows into the ultraviolet sterilizing unit 80 via the duct 56F, is sterilized, and is finally exhausted.
Released to the atmosphere via At this time, the suspended matter in the deodorizing device 60 such as the deodorizing medium finely divided by the stirring is collected by the filter 83 (see FIG. 8), and is prevented from scattering outside the garbage processing machine.

Hereinafter, the effects obtained by the above configuration of the garbage disposer of this embodiment will be sequentially described. (1) Fine adjustment of water content to microbial carrier and prevention of temperature decrease at the time In this embodiment, electromagnetic proportional valve 41 capable of adjusting the water supply amount of water supply device 40 for supplying hot water to the processing medium in processing tank 10. Is provided, the control device 32 sends a command signal corresponding to the detected moisture content of the processing medium to the electromagnetic proportional valve 41.
, The amount of hot water to be supplied to the processing medium can be adjusted. Specifically, for example, according to the magnitude of the difference between the detected water content of the processing medium in the processing tank 10 and a predetermined value of the predetermined water content (threshold value stored in the control device 32). The amount of water supplied to the processing medium can be adjusted. That is, when the detected water content of the processing medium is slightly smaller than the predetermined value and does not require much supply water before returning to the predetermined value, the flow of the supply water with a small opening degree is supplied to the electromagnetic proportional valve 41. In order to secure a path, a command signal is output to reduce the amount of water supplied to the processing medium.

As described above, the water supply to the processing medium is performed when the detection result of the water content sensor 39 falls below a predetermined value. For example, the water content sensor 39 may be a thermoelectric type or the like. If it takes a certain time to detect the water content, the actual water content of the processing medium may significantly exceed the predetermined value when the detection result returns to the predetermined value.
In the present embodiment, as described above, the amount of water supplied to the processing medium can be adjusted according to the difference between the detection result of the water content and the set predetermined value. Even when the detection requires a predetermined time, when the detection result of the water content sensor 39 returns to the predetermined value, it is possible to prevent the actual water content of the processing medium from greatly exceeding the predetermined value.

Further, since warm water is used as the water supply to the processing medium, it is possible to prevent the temperature of the processing medium from decreasing when adjusting the water content. Therefore, the water content of the microorganism carrier (processing medium) for decomposing garbage can be finely adjusted, and the temperature of the microorganism carrier (processing medium) during water supply can be prevented from lowering.

In the present embodiment, the processing tank 1
As the deodorizing device 60 for deodorizing the exhaust gas from 0, a device using a deodorizing medium in which microorganisms have inhabited is adopted as in the case of the decomposition treatment of garbage. As described above, when the odor is removed by the microorganism, the decomposition of the odor component by the microorganism is actively performed in the same manner as in the case where it is necessary to ensure a good habitat of the microorganism in the processing medium in the processing tank 10. It is necessary to improve the habitat of microorganisms in the deodorizing device 60.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the water supply amount of the water supply device 78 for supplying warm water to the deodorizing medium of the deodorizing device 60 is also controlled by adjusting the opening of the electromagnetic proportional valve 79 by the control device 32 to obtain the water content. The amount of warm water supplied to the deodorizing medium can be adjusted according to the detection result of the moisture content of the deodorizing medium by the sensor 77. This prevents the water content of the deodorized medium after the adjustment from greatly exceeding a predetermined value when adjusting the water content of the deodorized medium, as well as the water supply to the processing medium. Since hot water is used, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the temperature of the deodorizing medium when adjusting the water content. Therefore, the water content of the microorganism carrier (deodorizing medium) that decomposes the odor component can be finely adjusted, and the temperature of the microorganism carrier (deodorizing medium) during water supply can be prevented from lowering.

(2) Improvement of Water Content Adjustment Accuracy In the present embodiment, as described above, the flow meter 47 for detecting the flow rate of the supply water to the processing medium or the deodorizing medium is provided. Based on the detection result of the flow meter 47, it is determined whether or not the supply water to the processing medium or the deodorizing medium is supplied at the target flow rate, and according to the determination result, the electromagnetic proportional valve 41 or the electromagnetic proportional valve is appropriately determined. By outputting a command signal (correction signal) to the valve 79, the opening of the electromagnetic proportional valve 41 or the electromagnetic proportional valve 79 can be finely adjusted so that the target flow rate is supplied. Thereby, the water content of the processing medium or the deodorizing medium can be adjusted more accurately.

(3) Suppression of Fluctuation of Microorganism Carrier Temperature In the present embodiment, the supply water stored in the water storage tank 43 in the water heater 42 is heated by the supply water heater 48 to be hot water. As described above, the temperature of the supply water is detected by the temperature sensor 50 provided in the water storage tank 43, and the control device 32 determines that the temperature of the supply water is the processing medium detected by the temperature sensor 37 or the temperature sensor 76 or The changeover switch 49 is instructed to control the operation / stop of the supply water heater 48 so that the temperature becomes substantially the same as the temperature of the deodorizing medium. Therefore, when supplying water to the processing medium or the deodorizing medium, it is possible to suppress temperature fluctuations of the processing medium or the deodorizing medium, and to prevent fluctuations in the temperature environment due to the microorganisms that inhabit each.

In this embodiment, as described above, the temperature of the supply water is set to be substantially the same as the temperature of the processing medium or the deodorizing medium to which the supply water is supplied. A suitable temperature environment has a predetermined range.If the temperature of the treatment medium and the deodorizing medium does not deviate from the predetermined temperature range, the habitat of microorganisms is not impaired, and the temperature of the supply water is not necessarily adjusted to the processing medium or the deodorizing medium. It is not necessary to precisely control the temperature to be substantially the same as the temperature of. In this case, it is conceivable that the supply water is heated by using each device constituting the garbage disposal machine. Hereinafter, a modified example in which the supply water is heated using each device constituting such a garbage disposal machine will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14.

FIG. 13 is a view showing a modified example in which the supply water is heated by using the heat of the processing tank heater 38 for heating the processing tank 10. In FIG. The description is omitted. Note that FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of the present modified example, and illustration of portions that are not necessary for explanation is omitted as appropriate in order to prevent complexity. As shown in FIG. 13, in this modification, the supply water is supplied to the electromagnetic proportional valves 41 and 7.
The pipe 46 leading to 9 is provided so as to approach (or contact) the processing tank heater 38. That is, the supply water in the pipe 46 is heated by the heat of the processing tank heater 38, and the supply water supplied to the processing medium and the deodorizing medium via the electromagnetic proportional valves 41 and 79 is heated. . Other configurations are the same as those of the above-described embodiment. In this modification, the processing tank heater 38 is provided in the flow path of the processing medium water supply means or the deodorizing medium water supply means, and constitutes a water supply heating means for heating the supply water flowing through this flow path.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a modification in which the supply water is heated using the heat exchanger 54. The same reference numerals are given to the same parts as those in the preceding figures, and the description will be omitted. Note that FIG. 14 is also a diagram showing a schematic configuration of the present modified example.
Illustration of parts unnecessary for the explanation is omitted as appropriate. As shown in FIG. 14, in the present modification, the pipe 46 for guiding the supply water to the electromagnetic proportional valves 41 and 79 is connected to the heat exchanger 5.
4 is piped. That is, the heat exchanger 54 heats (strictly, the heat of the exhaust gas from the processing tank 10) the supply water in the pipeline 46, and is supplied to the processing medium and the deodorizing medium via the electromagnetic proportional valves 41 and 79. Supply water is heated. Other configurations are the same as those of the above-described embodiment. In this modification, the heat exchanger 54
The feed water heating means is provided in the flow path of the treatment medium water supply means or the deodorizing medium water supply means and heats the supply water flowing through this flow path.

Also in the above two modified examples, the essential effects of the present invention such as fine adjustment of the water content of the microorganism carrier and prevention of the temperature decrease at that time can be obtained. Further, as another component of the garbage disposer capable of heating the supply water, an exhaust heater 56Ba or the like can be considered.

In the above description, the detection results of the water content sensors 39 and 77 are simply used as the determination of the supply of water to the processing medium and the deodorizing medium. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Based on the weight change of the (treatment medium and garbage), the evaporation amount of water may be estimated, and the processing medium may be supplied with the target weight of the supply water so as to compensate for it. At this time, whether or not the supply water of the target weight is supplied may be determined by the flow meter 47 or may be determined by a change in weight detected by the load cell 35. In this case, the electromagnetic proportional valve 41,7
9 may be replaced with a simple ON / OFF switching electromagnetic valve, and the supply water may be shut off when the target weight is supplied. Further, the control of the water supply amount and the water content sensor 3
9 may be combined with the above-described control of the water supply amount based on the detection result.

Further, in the above description, when the garbage is put into the garbage disposal machine body 1, the opening / closing lid 6 is driven to open and close. However, the present invention is not limited to this. I do not care. Further, the deodorizing unit 2 for deodorizing exhaust gas is configured to be configured independently of the garbage processing machine main body 1, but is not limited thereto.
And the garbage disposer body 1 may be integrally configured.
In these cases, a similar effect is obtained.
