Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water-containing product obtained by crushing kitchen waste such as a detached house or an apartment house, or kitchen waste such as leftovers and leftovers produced in a commercial kitchen by a crusher such as a disposer. The present invention relates to an improvement of a garbage disposal device capable of promptly and reliably reducing the volume of organic waste and disposing of it.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, kitchen waste discharged in a kitchen such as a kitchen of a general household cannot be discharged directly from a drainage outlet of a kitchen sink into the public sewer together with the kitchen drainage. A mesh basket was installed at the drainage port, and when the garbage was collected in this basket in an appropriate amount, it was drained, and then packed in a plastic bag or the like for disposal. However, in this method, when the kitchen waste or the like is discharged from the kitchen, in addition to the troublesomeness of being packed in a plastic bag or the like and the discomfort for a bad odor, a rotten odor or the like is generated because it is stored until the time of disposal. It was a major factor contributing to deterioration of living environment and poor hygiene.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, kitchen waste is finely crushed by a crushing means such as a disposer, and the crushed water-containing organic waste is discharged into a public sewer together with kitchen drainage, so that kitchen waste can be treated. It is possible to simply and hygienically, but if the pulverized water-containing organic waste is discharged directly into the public sewer together with kitchen wastewater, the pulverized material may cause clogging of the sewer pipe, or the like, or Due to the lack of treatment capacity at the final sewage treatment plant, there is a problem that the water quality of discharged rivers is polluted, and it is not spread until today.

For this reason, today, for example, in order to utilize the garbage disposal method by the disposer, the water-containing organic waste crushed by the disposer is separated into solid waste and sewage, and the solid waste is discarded as it is. It should be transferred to a waste treatment tank and reduced in volume by microbial treatment, drying treatment, etc., and then discarded, while sewage should be discharged to a sewage treatment device, where sewage should be purified and then clean water should be discharged to sewage. The kitchen garbage processing equipment etc. which have been developed have been developed and proposed.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION However, in the above-mentioned garbage treatment device, the garbage is separated into solid waste and sewage,
Sewage is purified by a sewage treatment device and discharged into sewage,
On the other hand, the solid waste is subjected to volume reduction processing such as drying and then discarded. In this case, each time the solid waste was disposed of, it took a lot of labor and time to dispose of it. Therefore, normally, the disposed waste was stored in a predetermined container in a predetermined amount. I was going to discard it at that time. However, the amount of waste stored in the container, etc. cannot be visually confirmed because it is stored in a state where it is generally shielded from the outside due to odor emission to the outside and hygiene. However, there is a problem that the waste is stored in a container in a full state or overflows from the container.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, it is sufficient to regularly confirm the amount of waste stored, or to discard the waste after confirmation, but in this case, the amount of waste stored must be constantly monitored. Therefore, it is very troublesome, and it is very troublesome to discard the waste each time it is confirmed, and if the waste overflows the container, etc., it has to be cleaned every time. However, there is a problem in that waste management requires manpower and labor.

In view of the above-mentioned various problems, the present invention pulverizes kitchen waste generated from kitchens such as kitchens with a disposer, and separates the pulverized water-containing organic waste into solid waste and sewage. After the volume reduction of the solid waste is made possible for further disposal, the storage amount of this waste is accurately grasped and discarded, and if there is a change in the storage amount, this will be notified without fail. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved kitchen waste disposal device which does not store the waste unnecessarily.

Then, when the valve is opened and air is sent from the blower 34 to the residue return pipe 33 via the air lift 35, the residue or the like settled and deposited on the bottom surface of the wastewater treatment means 6 from one end of the residue return pipe 33. Is sucked together with sewage, and the residue and the like are returned to the solid-liquid separation means 3.

In the present invention, the drive source 7 for driving the solid-liquid separating means 3 and the drying processing means 4, the drying processing means 4, and the opening / closing means 22 for opening / closing a discharge port (not shown) of the drying processing means 4 And residue return pipe 33 and air lift 35
The blower 34 and the like for sending air to the are all driven and controlled by a drive sequence incorporated in the control means (see FIG. 7) 51.

Next, the operation of the garbage processing apparatus 1 according to the present invention will be described. The kitchen waste generated in the kitchen or the like is finely crushed by the crushing means 2 such as a disposer, and swells as water-containing organic waste by the inflow pipe 10 to the upper portion of the lid 8a attached to the container 8 of the solid-liquid separating means 3. Formed inflow part 9
Flow into the predetermined space formed by a plurality of blades (not shown) of the rotary blades 17 in the container 8.

The water-containing organic waste that has flowed into the required space in the container 8 is filtered by the filter member 12 attached to the drainage portion 11 opened at the bottom of the container 8 to gradually separate the waste water. . The sewage separated from the water-containing organic waste by the filter member 12 flows down to a sewage receiving portion 13 provided below the filtration member 12, and passes through a sewage drainage pipe 14 connected to the sewage receiving portion 13 to sewage treatment means 6. It is discharged to a public sewer after it is drained to a certain level and purified.

Since the container 8 of the solid-liquid separation means 3 is installed in the casing 1A with the drain portion 11 side thereof being positioned lower than the drain portion 15 side, the drain portion 11 is
The sewage filtered and separated from the water-containing organic waste in the filtration member 12 smoothly flows down to the sewage receiving part 13 smoothly and satisfactorily, and passes through the sewage drainage pipe 14 connected to the sewage receiving part 13 to the sewage treatment means 6 satisfactorily. Can be drained.

Next, when the water-containing organic waste that has flowed into the required space defined in the container 8 of the solid-liquid separation means 3 is discharged to the drying treatment means 4 as solid waste after being drained off, , The drive source 7 is started when necessary or every predetermined time, and the rotation is transmitted to the rotary blade 17,
7 is rotated by a predetermined angle (a space defined by a plurality of blades in the container 8, for example, if there are five blades, 1/5 partition). As a result, the water-containing organic waste sequentially moves in the space defined by the blades (not shown) in the empty space 8 every time the rotary blade 17 rotates, and finally the discharge part 15 is discharged.
The waste water is separated into solid waste, which is discharged into the dryer 20 of the drying processing means 4 through the communication pipe 16.

As described above, the water-containing organic waste flowing into the container 8 of the solid-liquid separation means 3 is drained in the container 8 for a predetermined time before being discharged from the discharge part 15 to the drying treatment means 4. Since it can be carried out, the water (sewage) is satisfactorily removed from the water-containing organic waste, and as a result, the water-containing organic waste containing water is effectively prevented from being discharged into the dryer 20. be able to.

Subsequently, when the solid waste discharged from the solid-liquid separation means 3 into the dryer 20 of the drying treatment means 4 is dried, the stirring blade 21 rotatably housed in the dryer 20. Is rotated by a drive source 7 and a speed reducer 7a, and a heater (not shown) provided on the outer periphery of the lower side of the dryer 20 is energized to maintain the inside of the dryer 20 at a predetermined temperature and perform a drying process. To do.

As described above, by heating the solid waste discharged into the dryer 20 at an appropriate temperature by energizing the heater, the water contained in the solid waste is evaporated and the solid waste is discharged. In the dryer 20,
Drying treatment is smoothly and favorably performed by the rotationally driven stirring blade 21, and, for example, a dry waste having a water content of 10% or less is produced. The offensive odor generated during the drying process of the solid waste is deodorized by a deodorizing means (not shown) and released into the atmosphere.

After the solid waste is agitated and dried by the drying means 4 for a predetermined time, the heating heater (not shown) and the drive source 7 are de-energized, and the stirring blade 21
The drying process of the solid waste is completed by once stopping the rotation drive of the solid waste. After that, when the dried waste is discharged from the drying processing means 4 to the waste storage tank 5, the discharge port (not shown) provided in the dryer 20 is opened / closed by the opening / closing means 22.
After being opened by, the stirring blade 21 is re-driven by the drive source 7, so that the waste is automatically discharged from the discharge port to the waste storage tank 5 installed below the drying treatment means 4 through the discharge chute 31. And is stored in the waste storage tank 5. When the discharging of the dried waste is completed, the opening / closing means 22 closes the discharging port again. In the process of crushing the kitchen waste to generate waste, the drive control of the crushing means 2, the solid-liquid separating means 3, the drying processing means 4, and the driving source 7 is performed by the control means shown in FIG. 7 as described above. The timer means 52 shown in FIG. 7 sets the time for performing the driving sequence incorporated in 51 and processing the kitchen waste so that it can be discarded.

Next, a case will be described in which a predetermined amount of waste that can be disposed of in the waste storage tank 5 is discarded from the waste storage tank 5. To discard the waste means to dispose of it as combustible waste. In this case, the user of the garbage processing apparatus 1 does not store the waste more than necessary and discards the waste in the amount and the time ( When the amount of waste is stored in the waste storage tank 5), it is necessary to reliably recognize and act.

In the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when a predetermined amount of waste is stored in the waste storage tank 5,
Due to the weight of the waste storage tank 5 that stores the waste, the end portion side of the support member 24 supporting the waste mounted on the side of the expansion / contraction means 28 is indicated by a two-dot chain line with the fitting projection 26 as a fulcrum. In addition, the projecting end 24a of the supporting member 24, which projects through the inner wall 1c of the housing 1A of the supporting member 24, descends, against the elastic force of the expansion / contraction means 28.
The switch lever 29a of the switch member 29 is turned on.

When the switch member 29 is turned on, the switch member 29 acts as a detecting means for detecting that a predetermined amount of waste stored in the waste storage tank 5 is stored, and a switch signal of the switch member 29 is sent. Is sent to the control means 51. Upon receiving the sending of the input signal, the control means 51 sends the signal to the notifying means 37 (for example, installed in the vicinity of the crushing means 2 in the kitchen) 37 shown in FIG. 7, for example, an operation (not shown) shown in FIG. The display means 38 and the sound means 39, which constitute the notification means 37 provided on the panel, are operated to notify the user that a predetermined amount of waste has been stored in the waste storage tank 5.

As a result, the user can close the closing door 32 of the housing 1A.
Open, insert a hand into the housing 1A through the opening 1b, grab the mounting portion 23 of the waste storage tank 5, slide it on the support member 24, pull out from the opening 1b to the outside of the housing 1A, and discard. Items are refilled from the waste storage tank 5 into a vinyl bag (not shown), or the vinyl bag previously set in the waste storage tank 5 is pulled out from the waste storage tank 5 as it is, and a predetermined disposal place is set. Transport to and discard.

As shown in FIG. 8, the notification means 37 serves as a display means 38, for example, an element which is optically (illuminated) displayed by two LEDs and an acoustic notification is made by a buzzer, a voice or the like. It is configured by including acoustic means 39 composed of elements.

Next, when a predetermined amount of the above-mentioned waste is stored in the waste storage tank 5, the operation of detecting the waste by the detecting means (switch member 29) and notifying the user will be described in detail. First, a power switch provided on an operation panel (not shown) is turned on, the garbage is crushed by the crushing means 2, and the water-containing organic waste consisting of the crushed garbage is discharged together with the kitchen drainage through the inflow pipe 10 to the solid-liquid separation means 3. Send to.

Here, in the present embodiment, an embodiment in which the garbage is crushed by the crushing means 2 and the waste is dried to generate a disposable waste will be described based on data calculated by experiments. To do. In this example, the amount of solid kitchen waste discharged per day was set to about 250 g per person. Assuming a case of a family of 5 people, for example, the amount of kitchen waste discharged per day is 250 g x 5 = 1,250 g.
(1.25 kg). Then, the amount of the crushing means 2 for finely crushing the solid kitchen waste to be processed per time is, for example, about 5 by using the crushing means 2 installed in a general household.
If it is treated with 00 g, the crushing means 2 may be driven about three times a day.

Next, the water-containing organic waste obtained by crushing the kitchen waste by the crushing means 2 is sent to the solid-liquid separation means 3 together with the kitchen wastewater, and is separated from the kitchen wastewater into the solid waste of the drying treatment means 4. It is discharged into the dryer 20. Dryer 20
The amount of the solid waste discharged into the inside is smaller than that before the garbage is crushed by the solid-liquid separation means 3 because the solid waste is more likely to contain water than before the garbage is crushed. Even if the kitchen waste water is separated, since the solid waste discharged to the dryer 20 is in a swollen state (increased water content) because it usually contains a large amount of water,
Inevitably, it will exceed the amount of garbage to be processed. Incidentally, the water content in the solid waste before the drying treatment was about 88 to 95% in the experimental example, though it depends on the type of kitchen waste.

When the solid waste is dried in the dryer 20 to produce waste that can be discarded, the dryness of the waste is set to a water content (10% or less) that does not cause a bad odor. The drying process is performed so that And
When the water content of the waste that has been dried is set to about 10%, most of the water content is removed from the amount of solid waste before drying, so that, for example, about 1/10 weight of the waste is removed. Can be generated. In this case, it is natural that the volume of the waste can be reduced as compared with the solid waste (blistered state) before the drying treatment.

Subsequently, the waste storage tank 5 for storing the waste has a large size capable of storing an amount of waste (for example, 5 kg) that a housewife or the like can carry at one time. Formed. That is, the storage tank 5 is of such a size that the storage tank 5 is filled with the portable waste.

As described above, the water-containing organic waste crushed by the crushing means 2 and sent to the solid-liquid separating means 3 together with the kitchen drainage is separated into solid waste and sewage by the filtering member 12, and solid waste is discharged. Is discharged to the drying treatment means 4 through the discharge part 15 and the communication pipe 16, and the sewage is discharged to the sewage treatment means 6 through the sewage drainage pipe 14. Then, although the solid waste that has been drained by the solid-liquid separating means 3 is discharged to the drying processing means 4, the solid waste contains water as described above.

Considering the drying function of the dryer 20 as described above, the amount of the solid waste stored in the dryer 20 of the drying processing means 4 is the amount of kitchen waste that is averagely processed by the crushing means 2 per day. Amounts slightly above the amount seem reasonable.
This has been clarified by an experiment, but as described above, since most of solid waste is occupied by water, an amount of solid waste commensurate with the volume of the dryer 20 is temporarily stored in the dryer 2.
Even if it is added to 0, the water content becomes excessive and the drying process cannot be performed smoothly.

In the drying treatment means 4,
As described above, the solid waste is dried so that the water content is 10% or less. After the drying treatment, the waste that can be discharged from the dryer 20 is a waste having a water content of 10% or less, that is, about the weight of the solid waste before the drying treatment. It is possible to produce 1/10 the weight of waste.

That is, the amount of kitchen waste to be treated in one day is solid-liquid separated from the water-containing organic waste treated by the crushing means 2 in three times, for example, and the separated solid waste is dried. Then, the dried waste is once stored in the waste storage tank 5. When the dried waste is discharged from the dryer 20, in the present embodiment, for example, a part of the waste is left inside the dryer 20 without discharging all the waste.

Since the waste material left in the dryer 20 has already been dried, it can be effectively used as a base material that functions as a moisture absorbent for the solid waste to be dried next time. The wastes that have been dried and discharged from the dryer 20 can be automatically and efficiently stored in the waste storage tank 5 using the discharge chute 31.

On the other hand, in the waste storage tank 5, as described above, the waste can be stored, including the volume of the waste, which can be carried by a housewife or the like at one time. You are using a stocker. When the storage amount of the waste reaches full, the waste storage tank 5 overflows from the waste storage tank 5 unless the waste is discarded from the storage tank 5. In order to prevent the waste storage tank 5 from overflowing, in the present invention, when the storage amount of the waste is stored in a preset amount (weight), the support member 24 is provided.
Is activated, the switch member 29 is turned on, and the waste storage tank 5
Is informed that it is full.

The above situation will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In this case, the dry-processed waste stored in the waste storage tank 5 becomes full when the preset storage amount is reached, and an example of an actual experiment will be described on the assumption that the waste is discarded. Then, the waste storage tank 5 is mounted on the support member 24 in the housing 1A via the mounting portion 23 in an empty state with no waste. In this case, the support member 24
As shown in FIG. 3, the end portion on the back wall 1c side is the expansion / contraction means 28.
And is locked by the locking portion 25a of the mounting portion 25 by the elasticity of the expansion / contraction means 28 so as not to move upward from a predetermined position (horizontal position). Therefore, in the empty waste storage tank 5, the end portion of the support member 24 on the rear wall 1c side is slightly lowered by the self-gravity against the expansion / contraction means 28 with the fitting projection 26 as a fulcrum. It is mounted on the support member 24 in an inclined state.

After the waste storage tank 5 is set in the housing 1A, the garbage processing device 1 is driven. That is, the power switch provided on the operation panel (not shown) is turned on, and the LED (usable) of the display means 38 provided as the notification means 37 is turned on (see FIG. 8). In addition, the waste storage tank 5 is attached to the support member 2
When a coil spring is used, for example, when the coil spring is used, the expansion / contraction means 28 mounted via 4 gradually compresses and lowers the spring constant every time waste is stored in the waste storage tank 5. In the example, the projecting end 24a of the support member 24 at the time when the waste just before being full is stored (for example, when the amount of waste at the time of full is about 5 kg, about 4 kg is stored), the protruding end 24a of the support member 24 is Is set so that the switch member 29 can be turned on, as indicated by the two-dot chain line.

Therefore, the wastes obtained by treating the solid wastes from the dryer 20 are sequentially stored in the waste storage tank 5 by using the discharge chute 31, and the expanding / contracting means 28 is compressed as the storage amount thereof is gradually increased. When the projecting end 24a of the support member 24 located on the side of the expanding and contracting means 28 is lowered and the amount of waste stored reaches about 4 kg, the switch member 29 as the means for detecting the stored amount is turned on. The closing signal of the switch member 29 is output to the control means 51, and when the closing signal is input from the control means 51, a command signal is output to the notification means 37 to operate it. As a result, the notification means 3
The LED (disposal) of the display means 38 provided in 7 lights up, and it is displayed that the waste storage tank 5 is currently storing about 4 kg of waste that can be disposed.

As described above, the storage capacity of the waste storage tank 5 is configured so that the waste can be stored up to the full capacity. However, it is not necessary for the user to display the disposal at a point just before the waste is full. This is for urging the eyes to dispose of the waste, and if the waste storage tank 5 is informed when the waste storage tank 5 is fully filled, the waste overflows from the waste storage tank 5 by neglecting the disposal. This is to prevent scattering in the housing 1A.

When the notification means 37 notifies the disposal of the waste, the control means 51 outputs a signal for continuing the display of the disposal to keep the display of the display means 38 and at the same time the garbage disposal device 1 is operated. A drive sequence is incorporated that limits the number of uses.

That is, the control means 51 has the notification means 37.
After the time when is activated, for example, the number of operations of the crushing means 2 (the number of times the crushing means 2 is driven when the amount of garbage to be processed per time is set to 500 g) is set to, for example, about 10 to 15 times. As a result, after the notification command for discarding the waste is output by the notification means 37, the crushing means 2 is prevented from being driven more than necessary, and the waste is not overflowed into the waste storage tank 5 and is good. Can be stored in.

When the crushing means 2 is to be re-driven, when the waste storage tank 5 is pulled out from the housing 1A, the end of the support member 24 on the switch member 29 side is removed.
Since the pressing force on the expansion / contraction means 28 is released by taking out, the device returns to the original position as shown by the solid lines in FIGS.
The detection means including the switch member 29 is reset (the closed state of the switch member 29 is released). In this state,
After the waste is discarded, the waste storage tank 5 is housed in the housing 1A again, so that a drive sequence that enables the use of the crushing means 2 is incorporated in the control means 51 in advance. The device 1 can start the next garbage treatment. It is needless to say that the drive sequence incorporated in the control means 51 can arbitrarily change the setting conditions such as the number of times of use after the operation of the notification means 37 of the crushing means 2 if necessary.

As mentioned above, when the amount of waste stored in the waste storage tank 5 by the informing means 37 reaches a preset amount just before the full amount, this is informed and the user is informed. Although it is possible to drive the crushing means 2 a required number of times in the subsequent use as well as notifying the disposal time of the waste,
The present invention is configured so as to prevent restart unless the waste storage tank 5 is finally taken out of the housing 1A and the waste is disposed of. This is convenient because it becomes easier. Further, the discharge chute 31 constantly monitors the moisture contained in the waste discharged from the drying treatment means 4 by a moisture detecting means 31A.
When the water content (water content) of the waste is detected to be equal to or higher than a set value, the detection signal is sent to the control means 51. The control means 51 outputs a signal for forcibly stopping the driving of the garbage processing device 1 based on the detection signal to stop the garbage processing device 1 and, for example, the sound means 39 of the notification means 37 causes the garbage processing device 1 to malfunction. To inform the user. As a result, even if the insufficiently dried waste is discharged, since the moisture detecting means 31A constantly monitors it, it is possible to favorably prevent the insufficiently dried waste from being generated.

Moreover, since the control means 51 has a means for temporarily stopping the driving of the crushing means 2 before the waste storage tank 5 is filled with the waste material, the waste storage tank 5 is filled with the waste material. Since it is possible to easily avoid the situation where the waste overflows and is scattered in the housing 1A, and since it is not necessary to dispose of the waste that has overflowed, the user can notify the storage amount of the waste by the notification means 37. There is also an advantage that the garbage processing device 1 can be used hygienically and with peace of mind without having to worry about it until the notification.

Further, in the notification means 37, as already described with reference to FIG. 8, the indication of discarding is performed by turning on the LED, and the sound means (buzzer or synthesis) utilizing the sound effect including voice and the like. Since it is also possible to perform the operation by voice (39), the user can easily and easily grasp the disposal time of the waste. The acoustic means 39
Notification (alarm) by L until the disposal of waste is completed
It is not necessary to continuously perform the operation like the display by the ED, and the operation may be performed at regular intervals, and when the disposal is completed, the control means 51
In response to a command from, the LED indicating the discard may be turned off and the sound may be muted.

As described above, in the present invention, the water-containing organic waste obtained by crushing kitchen waste by the crushing means 2 such as a disposer is allowed to flow into the solid-liquid separating means 3 and the solid-liquid separating means 3 is provided with the filtering means. The member 12 separates the solid waste into sewage and the solid waste separated from the sewage is dried by the dryer 2 of the drying treatment means 4 via the communication pipe 16.
It is discharged into the waste container 0 and is dried in the dryer 20 while being agitated to generate a dry waste, which is automatically discharged into the waste storage tank 5 without manual labor.

[0100] Moreover, since the amount of waste to be dried and stored in the waste storage tank 5 can be surely grasped in advance, the user forgets to discard the waste. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the waste from being scattered in the housing 1A and becoming unsanitary, and the trouble of cleaning and collecting the scattered waste.

Next, in the case of treating the residue, sludge, etc. that are deposited / deposited on the sewage treatment means 6, the inside of the container 8 of the solid-liquid separation means 3 is partitioned so as to correspond to the inflow part 9 and is not shown. Water-containing organic waste is allowed to flow into the inside. Subsequently, the air from the blower 34 is sent to the lower end side of the residue return pipe 33 immersed in the sewage treatment means 6 to inhale the residue and the like settled and deposited on the bottom of the sewage treatment means 6 together with the sewage. Then, this is mounted on the water-containing organic waste stored in a space (not shown) partitioned in the container 8 of the solid-liquid separation means 3 through the residue return pipe 33 and the inflow portion 9 of the solid-liquid separation means 3. To do.

By returning the residue and the like onto the hydrated organic waste together with the sewage, the sewage permeates into the hydrated organic waste, permeates the filtering member 12, passes through the sewage receiving portion 13 and then the sewage drainage pipe 14 again. It is discharged to the sewage treatment means 6. on the other hand,
When the wastewater permeates the water-containing organic waste, the residue mixed in the wastewater adheres to the surface of the water-containing organic waste. Therefore, it is possible to favorably prevent the residue and the like returned together with the sewage from permeating the filtering member 12 again and being discharged to the sewage treatment means 6.

Then, as described above, the residue and the like settled and deposited on the sewage treatment means 6 are returned together with the sewage onto the hydrated organic waste in the solid-liquid separation means 3, and a predetermined amount of the residue and the like is hydrated. After adhering / accumulating on the waste, the water-containing organic waste is sufficiently drained in the space inside the container 8, and then the solid waste and the residue are discharged from the space corresponding to the discharge part 15 through the communication pipe 16. It is discharged to the drier 20 of the drying treatment means 4 through the drying treatment and is dried. The dried waste is discharged to the waste storage tank 5 and is stored after storing a predetermined amount.

Next, the supporting member 24 on which the waste storage tank 5 is mounted has the end portion on the switch member 29 side mounted on the expansion / contraction means 28 and is inclined as the amount of waste stored increases. The example of inputting the
Another embodiment will be described in which the elastic means 28 is suspended and supported as shown in FIG. In FIG. 9, the waste storage tank 5
The support member 24A for mounting the support member 24A has a U-shaped planar shape, and the support member 24A is pivotally supported on the side wall of the housing 1A at a pair of free ends located in the opening 1b of the housing 1A. A mounting portion a having a U-shaped cross section for forming the mounting portion a is pivotally supported on the housing 1A by using a support rod b or the like, and the bridging portion c located at the rear is a back wall of the housing 1A. The lower end of the expansion / contraction means 28 formed of a spring member having the upper end hooked to 1c is connected to the bridging portion c and extends from the through hole 1d of the back wall 1c in the housing 1A to the housing 1.
The bridge portion c is hung by being hooked on the support plate d protruding to the outside of A. As a result, the supporting member 24A can be attached to the housing 1A by pivotally supporting the free end side of the supporting member 24A on the side wall of the housing 1A and suspending the rear bridging portion c on the expansion / contraction means 28.

In this state, as shown in FIG. 9, the waste storage tank 5 is mounted on the support member 24A, and when the waste is gradually stored, the support member 24A is pivotally supported (supported on the free end side). When the supporting plate d side descends little by little with the bar b) as a fulcrum and a predetermined amount of waste is stored, the supporting plate d turns on the switch member 29 as the detecting means shown in FIG. Then, the waste storage tank 5 is informed that it has been stored in an amount that can be discarded. Regarding the operation of the notification means 37,
Since it is the same as the case described for the support member 24, it will be omitted.

Next, a second embodiment of the detecting means for detecting and notifying the amount of waste stored in the waste storage tank 5 in a plurality of stages will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 11, three switch members 40a, 40b, 40c are provided on the back wall 1 of the housing 1A in order to detect the amount of waste stored in stages.
The detection means 40 is formed in parallel with c.

That is, regarding the three switch members, the first switch member 40a is directly attached to the back wall 1c, and the second and third switch members are attached.
The switch members 40b and 40c of FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, the first and second switch members 40a, 4a
0b and the second and third switch members 40b and 40c.
And the second and third switch members 40, respectively.
b, 40c are screwed to the first switch member 40a using mounting screws (not shown), or are directly screwed to the back wall 1c of the housing 1A.
As shown in FIG. 11, the support members 24 a, 40b, 40c project from the inner wall 1c of the housing 1A through the through holes 1d.
It is attached in a step-like manner in a state of being opposed to the projecting end 24a.

Then, the waste storage tank 5 is mounted on the support member 24, the wastes are sequentially stored in the storage tank 5, and the storage amount of the waste is changed, so that, for example, the first switch member 40a. When the protruding end 24a of the support member 24 is lowered and the switch lever 29a is turned on, the notifying means 37 is activated and the LED (not shown) of the display means 38 for indicating the operation of the first switch member 40a is turned on. This LED
Is turned on, the waste storage tank 5 has, for example, about 3.5
Indicates that kg of waste has been stored.

Subsequently, when the second switch member 40b is turned on as the projecting end 24a of the support member 24 is lowered as described above, in this case, about 4.0 kg of waste was stored. Is displayed on the LED (not shown) of the display means 38 via the notification means 37. At this stage, the user can recognize that the waste storage tank 5 stores a large amount of waste. Then, the third switch member 40
When c is input, the waste storage tank 5 is informed that the garbage processing device 1 cannot be driven thereafter unless the waste is discarded, and this is indicated by L (not shown) of the display means 38.
Turn on the ED and inform the user that the waste must be discarded. When the third switch member 40c is turned on, like the case where the LED indicating the discard of the display means 38 described in the first embodiment is turned on, the operation of the garbage processing device 1 is forcibly stopped once, This is to encourage the user to dispose of the waste.

As described above, it is possible to easily recognize how much waste is currently stored in the waste storage tank 5 each time waste that can be disposed of is sequentially stored in the waste storage tank 5. Therefore, the user can easily confirm the disposal time of the waste by visually observing the lit LED of the display means 38, and as a result, the waste storage tank 5
The problem that more waste overflows can be reliably solved.

Next, referring to FIGS. 12 and 13, a third embodiment of the detecting means for detecting the amount of waste stored will be described. In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, for example, the rear end of the support member 24 (on the rear wall 1c side, see FIG. 3) and the mounting portion 2 are used.
The expansion / contraction means 28 made of a spring member is interposed between the pressure sensor 41a (see FIG. 13) and the bottom of the expansion / contraction means 28 and the mounting portion 25. It is composed.

In the detecting means 41, the support member 24 is the first
As described in the embodiment, the pressure change occurs due to the decrease as the storage amount of the waste increases, and the change in the storage amount of the waste is converted into a voltage in the control unit 51. By confirming, waste storage tank 5
It is possible to reliably recognize the change in the amount of waste stored in the.

The pressure change of the pressure sensor 41a is converted into a voltage, and this is converted into voltage at each stage, for example, each LED of the display means 38a provided in the notification means 37a shown in FIG. "When 4 kg of waste is stored", "Disposal is not possible to re-operate the garbage processing device 1 unless the waste is discarded", Failure "Even when the disposal time has passed, the garbage processing device 1
If the continuous operation is performed ”is displayed in five stages, the user can directly check whether or not the garbage processing device 1 can be driven as well as the amount of waste stored.

Also, the acoustic means 39 such as voice or buzzer is used.

Is provided with a program for executing a comparison means for comparing the measured value with the measured value, and when the value estimated by the calculating means and the measured value exceed a predetermined set value, the control means 51 notifies The detection means for detecting the amount of waste stored is configured to notify the means 37 of the disposal of the waste, and when it is notified that the amount of waste stored reaches a predetermined amount, it is determined that an abnormality has occurred. To do.

That is, in this case, the estimated value of the amount of waste after the drying process is compared with the actual measured value of the amount of waste actually stored in the waste storage tank 5, and the estimated value is obtained. If the difference from the actual measured value deviates from the preset value, it is judged as abnormal. In this case, the waste is dried due to a failure of the dryer 20, etc. When discharged to the storage tank 5, the actual measurement value rises sharply, and the difference from the estimated calculation value becomes clear. In this case, it is always determined that the garbage processing device 1 has operated due to an abnormal operation, the notifying means 37 notifies the user of the failure, and the user is informed of the failure, and the driving of the garbage processing device 1 is forcibly stopped and checked. And so on. Thereby, the abnormality of the garbage processing device 1 can be grasped in advance, and the generation of waste that is insufficiently dried can be favorably avoided.

Further, the control means 51 includes means for detecting the number of times the crushing means 2 has been driven, and limiting the operation of the crushing means 2 after the crushing means 2 has been operated a predetermined number of times. A limiting means for limiting the number of times to 3 to 5 is set in a program, and when the limiting means exceeds the limit number of times, the notifying means 37 gives a notification to the means for detecting the amount of waste stored. The crushing means 2 is used for the purpose of using this detecting means.
It is possible to grasp the estimated amount of waste per day in advance (it is an estimated value), and based on this, the estimated storage amount of the waste can be easily grasped by the number of times the crushing means 2 is driven. It is very economical because the waste amount of waste can be known without using a special storage amount detecting means for detecting the amount of waste stored in .

Further, although the present invention has been described with reference to an embodiment based on a numerical value based on an experiment result based on the amount of kitchen waste discharged by a family of five, for example, in a general household per day, the present invention is not limited to this. Even if the number of people in the family structure is variable, or if the amount of waste generated by processing kitchen waste discharged from a commercial kitchen is detected, Needless to say, it can also be used in cases in which different storage amounts of waste are detected.

As the end is configured to be mounted on the above-mentioned frame through the expansion / contraction means, the support member can be reliably supported with one end as a fulcrum corresponding to the amount of waste stored in the waste storage tank. Since it can be tilted by an angle corresponding to the storage amount, the storage amount of the waste can be favorably detected.

According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, a structure is provided in which one end of the support member for mounting the waste storage tank is supported by the housing and the other end is suspended by the expansion / contraction means in the housing. By adopting the above, since the inside of the housing does not require a special support frame or the like for supporting the supporting member, the inside of the housing can be simply configured, which is convenient.

According to the invention described in claim 8, the elastic means for maintaining the inclination of the supporting member for mounting the waste storage tank is a commercially available elastic member such as a spring member without using a special member.

Therefore, the detection means for detecting the degree of lowering of the end portion of the support member can be simply configured, which is convenient.

According to the tenth aspect of the present invention, the detection means for detecting the inclination of the support member is a mechanical switch member such as a micro switch. Therefore, it is possible to change the amount of waste stored in the waste storage tank according to the amount of waste. It has an advantage that it can be quickly and reliably detected that a predetermined amount of waste has been stored in the waste storage tank by making good contact with the inclined support member.

According to the eleventh aspect of the present invention, since the degree to which waste is stored in the waste storage tank can be constantly detected, the discharge timing of waste is grasped in advance. This makes it possible to reliably avoid the problem that a predetermined amount or more of the waste is stored in the waste storage tank and the waste work requires time and labor.

According to the twelfth aspect of the present invention, when the detection means detects that a predetermined amount of waste has been stored in the waste treatment tank, the detection means can be easily notified and displayed by the notification means. Since it is configured so that the user can surely confirm the discard amount and timing of the waste by the notification means, it is convenient.

According to the thirteenth aspect of the present invention, the amount of solid waste discharged to the drying treatment means is estimated by, for example, the number of times of driving of the crushing means for treating garbage, and the drying is performed based on this estimated value. Estimate the amount of waste after processing, compare this calculated value with the set value of the amount of waste to be discarded in advance, and when both values match, notify the waste disposal time As a result, it is not necessary to provide a special means for measuring the amount of waste stored in the waste storage tank, and this eliminates the need for detection means such as a switch member that directly detects the amount of waste stored. Target. Moreover, when a predetermined amount of waste is stored, it is said that the waste overflows from the waste storage tank by combining with a blocking means that does not drive the garbage processing device unless the waste is discharged from the storage tank. The problem can be reliably stopped.

According to the fourteenth aspect of the present invention, a value calculated by estimating the amount of waste that can be disposed of by the drying treatment means and the amount of waste stored in the waste storage tank Is compared with the measured value calculated by actually measuring
If there is a difference between the two values that is greater than or equal to a predetermined set value, this is detected and it is judged as abnormal. As a result, for example, insufficient drying (waste containing water) Should it be discharged to the waste storage tank, the amount of waste stored will rise rapidly. This means that if the drying process is performed smoothly, there is not much difference between the estimated value and the actual measured value, but if the actual measured value is abnormally different from the estimated value, the waste remains incompletely dried. It is caused by being discharged to the waste storage tank.In this case, an alarm means is informed that an abnormality has occurred in the garbage processing device, and the device itself is forcibly stopped, resulting in insufficient drying. Goods can be prevented from being generated later.
In this case, if the abnormal state can be elucidated, the garbage processing device can be re-driven, and the judgment of the abnormality can be dealt with without using a special member, so that the garbage processing device can be smoothly used and solid waste can be collected. A reliable disposal process can be executed.

According to the fifteenth aspect of the present invention, the number of times of driving the crushing means is known in advance, and after the driving is performed a predetermined number of times, the crushing means is driven for the remaining number of times of driving, whereby the waste storage tank is driven. It is possible to store a predetermined amount of waste at all times, and as a result, the waste can be stored smoothly without overflow until the time of its disposal, and when a predetermined amount is stored, it is discarded. By not driving the garbage processing device again unless the waste is discharged from the waste storage tank, it is possible to favorably prevent unnecessary storage of waste in the waste storage tank.

According to the sixteenth aspect of the present invention, since the discharge time of the waste can be objectively grasped by the notifying means, even if the waste is forgotten to be discarded, the waste storage tank can detect the waste. The problem of overflow can be reliably avoided.

According to the seventeenth aspect of the present invention, when a predetermined amount of waste is stored in the waste storage tank, it can be visually confirmed.
Since it is possible to notify the user of the garbage processing device that a predetermined amount of waste has been stored by physical means such as voice, it is possible to avoid the problem that the waste storage tank overflows due to the waste. can do.

According to the eighteenth aspect of the present invention, since the waste is accurately discharged to the waste storage tank by using the discharge chute, the discharge work of the waste to the waste storage tank is surely performed. In addition to being able to be performed, the waste can be discharged uniformly without being always biased in the waste storage tank, so that the storage amount of the waste can be detected quickly and reliably.

According to the nineteenth aspect of the present invention, the waste discharged from the drying processing means to the waste storage tank is constantly monitored by the water detecting means for detecting the degree of drying, and the water content of the waste is set. If the value is more than the value, it is considered that the waste was dried insufficiently, and the user is informed of this state by the notification means, and the garbage processing device itself is forcibly stopped by a command from the control means and dried. It is convenient because it prevents generation of insufficient waste.

According to the twentieth aspect of the present invention, since the waste storage tank is housed so as to be able to be put in and taken out from the housing of the garbage processing apparatus in a state where it is always shielded from the outside, it is possible to process the solid waste during processing. It is possible to satisfactorily avoid leaking a bad smell or the like to the outside during storage of waste.
