The ventilation fan 9 is turned off when both of the values are equal to or less than the threshold value for turning off. With this configuration, when the odor or the temperature above the certain level or the temperature above the certain level is detected in the floor unit 1, ventilation is performed, and the odor and the temperature inside the floor unit 1 can be reduced.

In FIG. 16, the odor sensor 11 is turned on depending on the value of the odor sensor 11 or the value of the temperature sensor 12.
The value of the temperature sensor 12 and the timer are turned off. That is, when either the odor value of the odor sensor 11 or the temperature value of the temperature sensor 12 becomes equal to or higher than the threshold value for turning on, the ventilation fan 9 is turned on,

FIG. 28 shows another example of the garbage processing device. As shown in FIG. 28, a drawer unit 2 is provided in a floor unit 1 such as a kitchen cabinet installed in a kitchen so that it can be freely taken out and put in (it can be drawn out in the direction of arrow a in FIG. 1). The drawer unit 2 is installed in the floor unit 1 by installing the garbage processing tank 3. The food waste treatment tank 3 has a heating block 4 incorporated therein.
By heating the food waste in the food waste treatment tank 3, the food waste is dried and the volume can be reduced. A drying temperature detecting means 5 is provided in the garbage processing tank 3. An exhaust pipe 6 is led out from the garbage processing tank 3, and a deodorizer 7 and an exhaust fan 8 for heating and deodorizing with a catalyst are arranged in the exhaust pipe 6.

Further, a ventilation pipe 13 that communicates with the outside from the floor unit 1 is provided at the back of the floor unit 1, and a ventilation fan 9 is arranged in the ventilation pipe 13. The exhaust pipe 6 and the ventilation pipe 13 communicate with each other through the inside of the floor unit 1, and the exhaust pipe 6 and the ventilation pipe 13 form an exhaust path. The air volume of the ventilation fan 9 is sufficiently larger than that of the exhaust fan 8. Further, an air introduction port 15 is provided in front of the exhaust fan 8 of the exhaust pipe 6, so that the air sucked from the opening 16 at the bottom of the front part of the floor unit 1 is introduced into the air introduction port 15. There is. An odor sensor 11 for detecting an odor in the floor unit 1 and a temperature sensor 12 for detecting the temperature in the floor unit 1 are arranged in the upper portion of the floor unit 1.

In such a food waste processing apparatus, food waste is put into the food waste treatment tank 3 and heated in the heating block 4 to dry the food waste and reduce the volume of the food waste. When treating garbage, by operating the deodorizer 7 and driving the exhaust fan 8 and the ventilation fan 9, the indoor air is sucked into the garbage treatment tank 3 as shown by an arrow b in FIG.

Further, the air sucked from the opening 16 into the floor unit 1 as shown by the arrow i is introduced into the exhaust pipe 13 from the air introduction port 15. When the raw garbage processing tank 3 is exhausted, the odor is deodorized by exhausting it through the deodorizer 7. At this time, the air can be diluted by introducing the air into the exhaust pipe 6 from the air inlet 15. Further, by driving the ventilation fan 9, the indoor air is sucked into the floor unit 1 and the air in the floor unit 1 is ventilated so as to be discharged from the ventilation pipe 13 to the outside.

In the case of the food waste processing device as described above, it is not necessary to add an outdoor pipe only for ventilation in the floor unit 1. The deodorizing air volume is not affected by the length of the outdoor pipe. Further, after the exhaust gas from the garbage processing tank 3 is deodorized, it is further diluted and discharged to the outside, whereby the effect of reducing the odor of the exhaust gas is improved.

The operation patterns of the exhaust fan 8 and the ventilation fan 9 are shown in Table 1 above. In other words, the exhaust fan 8 is turned on when the raw garbage processing tank 3 is processing the raw garbage, and the exhaust fan is turned off when the raw garbage processing tank 3 is not processing the raw garbage in the standby state. At any time, the ventilation fan 9 is continuously turned on or intermittently turned on. Table 2 shows the on / off operation conditions during intermittent operation of the ventilation fan 9 as a table.

In the above-mentioned food waste processing apparatus, the ventilation fan 9 is continuously turned on when the food waste is processed, and the floor unit 1
As the control for ventilating the inside, there are those shown in FIGS. 29 to 33 below.

In FIG. 29, the ventilation fan 9 is continuously turned on from the start of the garbage processing, and is turned off at the same time when the garbage processing is completed. In this way, by continuously operating the ventilation fan 9 only during the processing of food waste, it is possible to obtain a system in which the floor unit 1 does not contain hot air and odor.

In FIG. 30, the ventilation fan 9 is continuously turned on from the start of the garbage processing, and is turned off after a fixed time T23 has elapsed from the end of the garbage processing. By doing this, in addition to the one shown in FIG. 29, the residual heat at the end of the process can be removed.

In FIG. 31, the ventilation fan 9 is continuously turned on from the start of the garbage processing, and turned off by the temperature value of the temperature sensor 12 after the garbage processing is completed. That is, the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 12 becomes equal to or higher than the threshold value during the garbage processing, but the temperature sensor 12 does not operate after the processing ends.
When the temperature detected in step 1 is below the threshold value and the temperature is below the threshold value, the ventilation fan 9 is turned off. The exhaust fan 8 is stopped at the end of the process. By doing so, in addition to the one shown in FIG. 29, the temperature in the floor unit 1 after the processing can be surely lowered.

In FIG. 32, the ventilation fan 9 is continuously turned on from the start of the garbage processing, and turned off by the odor value of the odor sensor 11 from the end of the garbage processing. In other words, the odor detected by the odor sensor 11 becomes equal to or higher than the threshold value during the garbage processing, but after the processing is completed, the odor sensor 1
When the odor detected in 1 becomes less than the threshold value and the odor becomes less than the threshold value, the ventilation fan 9 is turned off. The exhaust fan 8 is stopped at the end of the process.
By doing so, in addition to the one shown in FIG. 29, the odor in the floor unit 1 after the processing can be surely reduced.

In FIG. 33, the ventilation fan 9 is continuously turned on from the start of the garbage processing, and the temperature sensor 12 is turned on from the end of the processing.
When the temperature detected by 1 and the odor detected by the odor sensor 11 become less than the threshold value, it is turned off.
The exhaust fan 8 is stopped at the end of the process. By doing so, in addition to the one shown in FIG. 29, the odor and temperature in the floor unit 1 after the processing can be surely lowered.

It is also possible to control the ventilation fan 9 to be continuously turned on to ventilate the inside of the floor unit 1 even in the standby state where the garbage is not processed. In this case, for example, FIG.
As shown in, the ventilation fan 9 is continuously turned on regardless of the processing of food waste. The exhaust fan 8 is stopped at the end of the process. By doing so, it is possible to prevent heat and odors from being trapped inside the floor unit 1 at all times.

As shown in FIG. 35, the ventilation fan 9 is turned on by a timer during standby without processing garbage and the ventilation fan 9 is intermittently operated so that hot air or odor is not trapped in the floor unit 1. 38 to 38.

In FIG. 35, the ventilation fan 9 is turned on for a time period of T24 by a timer and turned off for a time period of T25 by a timer during the standby time when the garbage is not processed, and this is repeated. In addition,
At the end of processing, the exhaust fan 8 stops. As described above, when the ventilation fan 9 is turned on / off during the standby state and intermittently operated, the power consumption can be reduced as compared with the case where the ventilation fan 9 is continuously operated.

In FIG. 36, the ventilation fan 9 is turned on for a period of T26 by a timer and turned off for a period of T27 by a timer in a standby mode in which the garbage is not processed. The odor detected by the odor sensor 11 is repeated. The time to turn on can be changed according to the value. That is, when the odor exceeds the threshold value, the ventilation fan 9
Keeps on and turns off when the odor falls below a threshold value. The exhaust fan 8 is stopped at the end of the process. In this way, when an odor above a predetermined level is detected in the floor unit 1, the ventilation air volume is increased and the odor can be discharged.

In FIG. 37, the ventilation fan 9 is turned on for a time period of T28 by a timer and turned off for a time period of T29 by a timer in the standby mode in which the garbage is not processed. Can be changed. That is, the ventilation fan 9 continues to be turned on when the temperature becomes equal to or higher than the threshold value, and is turned off when the odor becomes equal to or lower than the threshold value. In this way, when the temperature above the set value is detected in the floor unit 1, the exhaust air volume can be increased and the temperature rise can be prevented.

In FIG. 38, the ventilation fan 9 is turned on for a period of T30 by a timer and turned off for a period of T31 by a timer in a standby mode in which the garbage is not processed. However, the temperature detected by the odor sensor 11 and the temperature sensor 12 are detected. It is possible to change the on-time depending on the temperature detected at. That is, when the odor and the temperature are above the threshold value, the ventilation fan 9 continues to be turned on, and when the odor and the temperature are below the threshold value, it is turned off. By doing so, when the temperature or odor that is equal to or higher than the set value is detected in the floor unit 1, the ventilation air volume is increased to prevent the temperature rise and suppress the odor.

9 and that shown in FIG.

In FIG. 39, the ventilation fan 8 is turned on by the odor value of the odor sensor 11 during standby and turned off by the odor value of the odor sensor 11. That is, when the odor sensor 11 detects an odor value equal to or higher than the threshold value for turning on the ventilation fan 9, the ventilation fan 9 is turned on, and the odor sensor 11 detects an odor value equal to or lower than the threshold value for turning off the ventilation fan 9. At this time, the ventilation fan 9 is turned off. In this way, it is possible to ventilate while detecting the odor.

In FIG. 40, the standby state is turned on by the odor value of the odor sensor 11 and turned off by the odor value of the odor sensor 11 and the timer. That is, when the odor sensor 11 detects an odor value above the threshold value for turning on the ventilation fan 9, the ventilation fan 9 is turned on, and the odor sensor 11 detects an odor value below the threshold value for turning off the ventilation fan 9. The ventilation fan 9 is turned off when the time T32 has elapsed from the timer. With this configuration, ventilation is performed when odor is detected, and the odor can be reliably discharged by increasing the ventilation amount during the timer setting time.

That is, when the temperature sensor 12 detects a temperature value above the threshold value for turning on the ventilation fan 9, the ventilation fan 9 is turned on, and the temperature sensor 12 detects a temperature value below the threshold value for turning off the ventilation fan 9. At this time, the ventilation fan 9 is turned off. By doing so, ventilation can be performed when it is detected that the temperature inside the floor unit 1 is equal to or higher than a certain value, and the temperature inside the floor unit 1 can be maintained below the certain value.

In FIG. 42, the standby state is turned on by the temperature value of the temperature sensor 12 and turned off by the temperature value of the temperature sensor 12 and a timer. That is, when the temperature sensor 12 detects a temperature value above the threshold value for turning on the ventilation fan 9, the ventilation fan 9 is turned on, and the temperature sensor 12 detects a temperature value below the threshold value for turning off the ventilation fan 9. The ventilation fan 9 is turned off when the time T33 has elapsed from the timer. By doing so, it is possible to ventilate when a temperature above a certain level is detected, and to surely lower the temperature by increasing the ventilation volume during the timer setting time.
