BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.
And it demonstrates in detail with reference to FIG. In the figure, 1 is a processing container, which is detachably mounted on a support 2. Reference numeral 3 denotes a lid attached to the processing container 1, and inside thereof, a deodorant 4 such as activated carbon is stored as shown in FIG. The processing container 1 is formed of a hard plastic in a polygonal cylindrical shape, and a heat insulating material covering cylinder 5 formed of foamed plastic is integrally attached to the outer periphery of the processing container 1 to insulate the inside of the container. Further, a flocked layer 7 is formed on the surface of the heat insulating material covering cylinder 5. Further, at the bottom of the processing container 1, a drainboard 9 having a large number of ventilation holes 8 formed is formed.

In addition, the upper opening of the processing container 1 is provided with a charging port 11
The lid 3 is attached here. The lid 3 is formed of foamed plastic into a polygonal shape, and a flocked layer 7 is also formed on the outer surface of the lid 3 to insulate the inside. Further, inside the lid 3, a hollow disk-shaped deodorant container 12 for accommodating the deodorant 4 such as activated carbon is attached.

The deodorant container 12 is composed of a disk-shaped container portion 12A made of foamed plastic and a lid portion 12B fitted with the disk-shaped container portion 12A. A large number of vent holes 13 that communicate with the above are respectively opened. Further, the protrusion 15 is provided at the center of the upper surface of the lid 12B.
Is formed, which is a handle 16 formed at the center of the lid 3.
It is adapted to be fitted to the inner side of and to be supported by the lid 3.

The support base 2 for supporting the processing container 1 is in the form of a container having a hollow portion 18 formed therein, and three legs 19 are formed at equal intervals on the outside thereof. Hollow part 1
On the upper part of 8, a ring-shaped support part 2 to which a ring-shaped projecting part 20 projecting from the lower part of the processing container 1 is detachably inserted
1 is formed. Further, a plurality of ventilation holes 23 are opened along the circumferential direction on the lower side of the ring-shaped support portion 21, and a ventilation hole having a net 25 on the side surface of the hollow portion 18 between the leg portions 19 ... 26 communicates with the outside and is opened. Reference numeral 27 is a drain provided at the bottom of the hollow portion 18.

In the food waste disposal container having the above-mentioned structure, first, the lid 3 is opened, and about half of the floor material 30 in which wood chips are impregnated with aerobic and anaerobic bacteria is put. After this, floor material 3
Place the garbage 31 from the kitchen on top of 0, stir with a small scoop, mix the garbage 31 and the floor material 30 well, and then leave the lid 3 on.

In this state, the food waste 31 comes into contact with the flooring material 30 and is fermented by the aerobic and anaerobic bacteria impregnated therein to generate heat, and part of the food waste is decomposed into water and carbon dioxide gas. The rest is compost. In this way, the kitchen waste 31 coming out of the kitchen is thrown in every day, stirred, and then allowed to stand.

In this food waste processing container, outside air enters through the ventilation holes 25, 23 opened in the support base 2 and through the ventilation holes 8 of the slats 9 formed at the bottom of the processing container 1, and from here The gas is discharged, and the garbage 31 is breathed from the bottom side. In this state, the garbage 31 is efficiently fermented and decomposed by aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. During this process, the temperature of the food waste 31 and the floor material 30 rises to about 55 ° C., and the water and gas contained in the food waste 31 evaporate. The evaporated water is condensed on the back side of the lid 3 to form water droplets, and when the water droplets fall, they are soaked in the floor material 30.

Further, the gas generated by fermentation rises,
It is deodorized with a deodorant 4 such as activated carbon inside through a vent hole 13 of a deodorant container 12 attached to the back side of the lid 3. Since the vent hole 26 is opened in the support base 2 at the lower part of the processing container 1, the odor does not leak from below, and even if the food waste processing container 1 is installed in a room in the corner of the kitchen, There is no leakage.

When the food waste 31 is composted, the processing container 1 is removed from the support 2 and the compost inside is opened to about 1
When mixed with 0 times the soil, it can be used as an organic fertilizer for gardening. Further, since the processing container 1 can be separated from the support base 2, when the processing container 1 is removed and the compost is opened, the water accumulated in the support base 2 and the fine powder of the floor material 30 do not spill. In addition, the water accumulated in the support 2 is drained 2
It can also be drained from 7.

Further, the processing container 1 is integrally provided with a heat insulating material covering cylinder 5 formed of foamed plastic on the outside, a lid 3 is also formed of foamed plastic, and a flocked layer 7 is formed on the outside surface. Therefore, it has excellent heat insulation and is approximately 5
Since bacteria are active at temperatures above ℃, even during the winter when the temperature drops, the garbage 31 can be decomposed by installing it in the corner of the kitchen.

Therefore, in the conventional compost installed outdoors, the food waste 31 is not decomposed in the winter period and rots in the summer, but the food waste disposal container of the present invention should be processed all year round. You can Further, since the decomposition temperature of the floor material 30 is maintained by the heat insulating structure, a heat source such as a heater is not required, and the garbage 31 and the floor material 30 may be agitated with a small scoop, and a motor is used. It does not require an expensive stirring mechanism, has a simple structure and is inexpensive.

[0019]

EXAMPLE A food waste disposal container of the present invention is installed in a corner of a kitchen, half of the floor material 30 is put in a disposal container 1 having a capacity of 35 liters, and 300 to 500 g of food waste 3 discharged from the kitchen is placed on this.
When 1 was added and processed every day, the amount of floor material 30 in the processing container 1 hardly increased even after 8 months had passed, and most of the input garbage 31 was decomposed into water and carbon dioxide gas. it is conceivable that. Also, there is no odor from the processing container 1,
There was no problem even if I installed it in the kitchen in the hot summer.

In the above description, activated carbon was used as the deodorant 4, but bamboo charcoal, charcoal, or a chemical deodorant may be used. Further, although the case where the flocked layer 7 is formed on the surfaces of the lid 3 and the heat insulating material coated cylinder 5 is shown, a structure without the flocked layer 7 may be used. Furthermore, although the case where the processing container 1 and the lid 3 are formed in a polygonal shape has been shown, they may be cylindrical.
