Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simply suction and recover, for example, a posttreatment article and a powder such as a decomposition fermentation product of a garbage decomposed and fermented by a microorganism such as garbage decomposition bacillus and to reduce burden of a worker by shortening a working time. <P>SOLUTION: After the carrier which carries the microorganism for decomposing the garbage and the garbage are thrown into a treatment vessel to decompose the garbage, the posttreatment product is suctioned by a suction pipe. The posttreatment product is separated from a suction stream by turning the suction stream containing the suctioned posttreatment product along an inner peripheral surface of a vertical cylindrical part and the posttreatment product is stored into a storage vessel. In this case, since the posttreatment product is separated by the turning flow without being drawn to a suction means side and can be stored into the storage vessel, the labor of a manual recovery by a scraping out work is omitted. Therefore, the work can be quickly carried out and a shortening of the working time can be realized. The product to be suctioned is not limited to the posttreatment product and may be the powder. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

本発明は、例えば生ゴミ分解菌により分解及び発酵された生ゴミの分解発酵物又は粉体などの処理物を吸引して回収する吸引装置及び当該吸引装置用の分離器に関する。   The present invention relates to a suction device that sucks and collects a processed product such as a decomposed fermented product or powder of raw garbage that has been decomposed and fermented by a garbage-degrading bacterium, and a separator for the suction device.

従来、例えば家庭等で発生する生ゴミは例えば公共のゴミ処理施設に回収され、焼却設備で焼却して処理するのが一般的であった。しかし、ダイオキシン問題の発生に伴い焼却処理に代わる新たな処理手法として微生物発酵分解方式の処理方法が提案され、更に生ゴミ分解菌の働きにより得た分解発酵物を有効利用するため、堆肥の原料としての適用可能性が検討されている。   Conventionally, for example, raw garbage generated at home or the like is generally collected in, for example, a public waste disposal facility and incinerated by an incinerator. However, due to the occurrence of the dioxin problem, a microbial fermentation decomposition method has been proposed as a new treatment method to replace incineration, and in order to effectively use the decomposed fermented material obtained by the action of garbage decomposing bacteria, the compost raw material Applicability as

例えば業務用の微生物分解発酵方式の生ゴミ処理機としては、生ゴミ分解菌である好気性の微生物と、この生ゴミ分解菌を担持させる例えば杉チップ、おが屑、椰子殻粉砕物などの担持体とを処理容器内に予め投入しておき、これに生ゴミを投入して撹拌混合することにより生ゴミ分解菌が生ゴミを分解し、更に担持体と共に発酵させて一次発酵物を得る手法が知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。しかる後、この一次発酵物は処理容器から取り出され、例えば別の場所で水分濃度調整や窒素濃度調整等の二次処理がなされることにより、発酵物が完熟されて例えば農耕用の堆肥(二次発酵物)となる。   For example, as a microbial decomposition fermentation type garbage processing machine for business use, an aerobic microorganism that is a garbage decomposing bacterium and a carrier such as cedar chip, sawdust, coconut shell pulverized material that supports the garbage decomposing bacterium Is put in a processing container in advance, and a method for obtaining a primary fermented product by decomposing the raw garbage by adding the raw garbage to this container and stirring and mixing it, and further fermenting with the carrier. It is known (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). Thereafter, the primary fermented product is taken out from the processing container, and subjected to secondary treatment such as moisture concentration adjustment or nitrogen concentration adjustment at another location, so that the fermented product is fully ripe and, for example, agricultural compost (2 Next fermented product).

特開2002−316128号公報(段落0007〜0009、図1、2)JP 2002-316128 A (paragraphs 0007 to 0009, FIGS. 1 and 2)

上記の生ゴミ処理機の一例について図6、7を参照しながら説明しておくと、図中1は生ゴミを投入して処理するための底面が半円筒状に形成された例えば容量200〜600リットルの処理容器であり、当該処理容器1は支持体11により支持されている。この処理容器1の上面部には開閉自在な蓋体12が設けられた投入口13が形成されており、この投入口13から生ゴミ及び、生ゴミ分解菌を担持させた担持体が容器内へ投入され、生ゴミ処理後の発酵物は底面部に設けられた開閉自在なシャッタ14aを備えた排出口14から排出されるように構成されている(図6には図示せず)。処理容器1の側面には容器内にある内容物を所定の温度に加熱するためのヒータ15が設けられており、更には給気管16及び排気管17が夫々接続されている。また処理容器1内には横方向に伸びる回転軸2が配置されており、この回転軸2の長手方向には間隔をおいて複数の撹拌アーム21が設けられている。回転軸2はベルト機構22を介してモータ23と接続されており、モータ23が駆動することで回転軸2が回転し、撹拌アーム21により処理容器1内の内容物が撹拌されるように構成されている。   An example of the above-described garbage processing machine will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a bottom having a semicylindrical shape for introducing and processing garbage, for example, with a capacity of 200 to 200. The processing container 1 is supported by a support 11. An input port 13 provided with an openable / closable lid 12 is formed on the upper surface of the processing container 1, and a carrier carrying garbage and garbage-decomposing bacteria from the input port 13 is provided in the container. The fermented material after being treated with the garbage and disposed of at the bottom is discharged from a discharge port 14 provided with an openable / closable shutter 14a provided on the bottom surface (not shown in FIG. 6). A heater 15 for heating the contents in the container to a predetermined temperature is provided on the side surface of the processing container 1, and an air supply pipe 16 and an exhaust pipe 17 are connected to each other. A rotating shaft 2 extending in the lateral direction is disposed in the processing container 1, and a plurality of stirring arms 21 are provided in the longitudinal direction of the rotating shaft 2 at intervals. The rotating shaft 2 is connected to a motor 23 via a belt mechanism 22, and the rotating shaft 2 is rotated by driving the motor 23, and the contents in the processing container 1 are stirred by the stirring arm 21. Has been.

上述のような生ゴミ処理機を用いて生ゴミを処理するには、先ず蓋体12を開いて生ゴミ分解菌を担持させた担持体を処理容器1内へ投入し、含水率が20〜60重量%となるように水分の調節を行っておく。しかる後、生ゴミを投入し、ヒータ15により容器内にある内容物の温度が例えば30℃〜50℃になるように加温されると共に、給気管16及び排気管17を介して給排気を行う。これにより生ゴミが徐々に分解されて最終的には担持体と共に発酵して一次発酵物となる。投入した生ゴミの分解の容量が一定レベルまで減量されると、図8に示すように、撹拌アーム21を回転させると共に、シャッタ14aを開いて排出口14から一次発酵物を排出して例えば袋14bに詰める作業が行われる。当該袋14bに詰められた一次発酵物は、二次処理をするために別の場所に移送され、例えば水分濃度、窒素濃度の調整などの所定の処理が施されて完熟することにより堆肥化される。他方、一次発酵物が排出されて空になった処理容器1内には新しい生ゴミ分解菌及び担持体が投入され、生ゴミの処理が再度行われる。   In order to process garbage using the garbage processing machine as described above, first, the lid 12 is opened and a carrier carrying garbage-decomposing bacteria is put into the processing container 1, and the moisture content is 20 to 20%. The moisture is adjusted to 60% by weight. Thereafter, raw garbage is put in, and the heater 15 heats the contents in the container to be, for example, 30 ° C. to 50 ° C., and supplies and exhausts air through the air supply pipe 16 and the exhaust pipe 17. Do. As a result, the garbage is gradually decomposed and finally fermented with the carrier to become a primary fermented product. When the decomposition capacity of the input garbage is reduced to a certain level, as shown in FIG. 8, the stirring arm 21 is rotated and the shutter 14a is opened to discharge the primary fermentation product from the discharge port 14, for example, a bag. The work to pack 14b is performed. The primary fermented product packed in the bag 14b is transferred to another place for secondary treatment, and is subjected to a predetermined treatment such as adjustment of moisture concentration and nitrogen concentration, for example, and composted by ripeness. The On the other hand, new garbage decomposing bacteria and a carrier are introduced into the processing container 1 which has been emptied after the primary fermented product is discharged, and the processing of the garbage is performed again.

しかしながら、生ゴミには一般的に水分及び油分が例えば10:1の割合で含まれていることから分解菌による分解処理の進行に伴い発酵物の粘性が徐々に高まることが多く、更に水と油の量が多くなると、その一部が汚泥状又は塊状となってしまう場合がある。そのため撹拌アーム21の押し出し作用を頼っても発酵物を完全に排出することができず、撹拌アーム21を止めて処理容器1内に残った残渣物を例えば作業者が手作業により掻き出さなければならなかった。更には複雑な形状をした撹拌アーム21の表面や処理容器1の隅部に付着した手の届き難い部位にある残渣物を取り除く作業や、残渣物の入った袋14bを運搬する手間を要していたため、例えば200リットルの処理容器1に対して4人がかりで半日作業となるなど作業時間の長時間化を招いていた。特に、生ゴミ処理時の処理容器1内の通気性不足により分解菌が嫌気性発酵を起こした場合には強い異臭が周囲にたちこむため作業者の負担が大きかった。   However, since the garbage generally contains water and oil at a ratio of 10: 1, for example, the viscosity of the fermented product often gradually increases with the progress of the decomposition treatment by the decomposing bacteria. When the amount of oil increases, some of the oil may become sludge or lump. For this reason, the fermented product cannot be completely discharged even if the pushing action of the stirring arm 21 is relied on, and the residue remaining in the processing container 1 must be scraped off manually by the operator, for example, by stopping the stirring arm 21. did not become. Furthermore, it takes time and effort to remove residues on the surface of the stirring arm 21 having a complicated shape and the corners of the processing vessel 1 that are difficult to reach and to carry the bag 14b containing the residues. Therefore, for example, the work time has been extended, such as a half-day work with four persons for the 200-liter processing container 1. In particular, when the decomposed bacteria cause anaerobic fermentation due to insufficient air permeability in the processing container 1 when processing garbage, the burden on the operator is great because a strong odor is scattered around.

また上記排出口14の開口面積を広げて排出し易くすることも考えられるが、排出口14は処理容器1の下端部近傍に設ける必要があるため、処理時における投入物の漏れ防止を図りつつ、更に底面部の湾曲面に沿うように排出口14を加工することは困難であった。また処理容器1を逆さまにして投入口13から一次発酵物を排出することも考えられるが、生ごみ処理装置は大型化する傾向にあり、例えば一日50kg程度の生ごみを処理しようとすると容量600リットル程度の処理容器1を用いなければならず現実性に乏しい。   Although it is conceivable to increase the opening area of the discharge port 14 to facilitate discharge, it is necessary to provide the discharge port 14 in the vicinity of the lower end of the processing container 1, so that leakage of the input during processing is prevented. Furthermore, it is difficult to process the discharge port 14 along the curved surface of the bottom surface. Although it is conceivable that the primary fermented product is discharged from the inlet 13 by turning the processing container 1 upside down, the garbage processing apparatus tends to increase in size. For example, when it is attempted to process about 50 kg of garbage per day, the capacity is increased. A processing container 1 of about 600 liters must be used, which is not realistic.

一方、発明者らは排出口14から排出しきれなかった残渣物を掃除機で吸引して回収する手法について検討しており、その具体例を図9に示してある。図中24は残渣物を吸引するための吸引ノズルであり、例えば作業者が当該吸引ノズル24を処理容器1内に挿入して残渣物を吸引する。また25は吸引流を形成するための排気ポンプであり、この排気ポンプ25は例えば吸引路26を介して吸引ノズル24と接続され、その途中には吸引した残渣物を当該吸引流から分離するための分離手段である中間タンク27が設けられている。このような構成において、先ずシャッタ14aを開いて処理容器1内の一次発酵物をある程度排出口14から排出した後、吸引ノズル24により残渣物を吸引して空気流である吸引流と共に中間タンク27内に導入する。ここで比重の大きい残渣物(一次発酵物)は中間タンク27の底部に堆積し、残渣物が分離された空気流は排気ポンプ25により外部へと排出される。しかしながら当該中間タンク27は空気流の導入口27aと排出口27bと間の流路が狭いので、残渣物の一部が排気ポンプ25内に進入し、内部に付着して当該排気ポンプ25を損傷させてしまう懸念がある。更に外部へと排気される排気ポンプ25の排気流に混じって残渣物の粉塵が周囲に飛散して悪臭を広げてしまう懸念がある。そこで中間タンク27の集塵効果を高めるために目の細かいフィルタを例えば排出口27bの入口を覆うように設けることも一策であるが、粘性の高いものが付着してフィルタを直ぐに詰まらせてしまい必要な吸引圧を確保できなくなる懸念がある。   On the other hand, the inventors have examined a technique for sucking and collecting the residue that could not be discharged from the discharge port 14 with a vacuum cleaner, and a specific example thereof is shown in FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 24 denotes a suction nozzle for sucking a residue. For example, an operator inserts the suction nozzle 24 into the processing container 1 to suck the residue. Reference numeral 25 denotes an exhaust pump for forming a suction flow. This exhaust pump 25 is connected to the suction nozzle 24 through, for example, a suction path 26, and in order to separate the sucked residue from the suction flow. An intermediate tank 27 is provided as a separating means. In such a configuration, first, the shutter 14a is opened and the primary fermented material in the processing container 1 is discharged from the discharge port 14 to some extent, and then the residue is sucked by the suction nozzle 24 together with the suction flow which is an air flow and the intermediate tank 27. Introduce in. Here, a residue (primary fermentation product) having a large specific gravity is accumulated at the bottom of the intermediate tank 27, and the air flow from which the residue is separated is discharged to the outside by the exhaust pump 25. However, since the intermediate tank 27 has a narrow flow path between the air flow inlet 27a and the outlet 27b, a part of the residue enters the exhaust pump 25 and adheres to the inside to damage the exhaust pump 25. There is a concern to let you. Further, there is a concern that the dust of the residue is scattered around and mixed with the exhaust flow of the exhaust pump 25 exhausted to the outside, spreading the bad odor. In order to enhance the dust collection effect of the intermediate tank 27, it is also possible to provide a fine filter so as to cover, for example, the inlet of the discharge port 27b. There is a concern that the required suction pressure cannot be secured.

本発明はこのような事情に基づいてなされたものであり、その目的は、例えば生ゴミ分解菌などの微生物により分解及び発酵された生ゴミの分解発酵物などの処理物や粉体を簡単に吸引して回収することのできる吸引装置及び当該吸引装置用の分離器を提供することにある。また他の目的は作業時間の短縮化して作業者の負担を軽減することにある。   The present invention has been made based on such circumstances, and an object thereof is to easily treat a processed product or a powder such as a decomposed fermented product of garbage that has been decomposed and fermented by microorganisms such as a garbage-degrading bacterium. An object of the present invention is to provide a suction device that can be sucked and collected and a separator for the suction device. Another object is to reduce the burden on the operator by shortening the working time.

また本発明の吸引装置は、当該生ゴミを分解させた後の処理物の吸引に限らず、その他の粉体を吸引する装置にも適用できる。
The cylindrical part may have the same diameter on the upper side and the lower side, or may extend outward on the lower side. Further, the storage container may have a configuration in which a filter unit is provided for separating foreign matter from the sucked aspirate. As a method for forming a swirl flow in the cylindrical body, for example, a suction pipe may be connected to the side surface of the cylindrical portion in a tangential direction. However, for example, the suction pipe may be connected to the side surface or the upper surface of the cylindrical portion. A structure may be provided in which a guide is provided for connecting and guiding the airflow blown from the connection port to the inner peripheral surface. In addition, it is not meaningful to use the square tube portion instead of the cylindrical portion to form the swirl flow, but even when the square tube portion is used, it is included in the cylindrical portion referred to in the present invention and included in the technical scope of the present invention. It is. Moreover, it is preferable that the diameter of a cylindrical part is 3 times or more of the diameter of an exhaust port.

本発明の吸引装置によれば、吸引手段により例えば処理容器から一次発酵物(処理物)を回収する構成とすることにより、手作業で残渣物を掻き出すなどの手間が省けるので、迅速に作業を行うことができ、作業時間の短縮化を図ることができる。更に吸引した残渣物を含む空気流を旋回させて当該空気流から残渣物を分離する構成とすることにより、下流側に粉塵が混入することが抑えられるので、排気ポンプ内部に粉塵が付着して当該排気ポンプを損傷することが少なく、また排気ポンプの排気流に混じって粉塵が周囲に撒き散らすことが少ない。更にまた前記処理物に限らず粉体を吸引する場合にも、同様に粉体が排気ポンプ側に引き込まれずに旋回流により分離されて貯留容器内に落下させることができる。   According to the suction device of the present invention, by adopting a configuration in which the primary fermented product (processed product) is collected from the processing container, for example, by the suction means, it is possible to save time and trouble such as scraping off the residue manually, so that the work can be performed quickly. This can be done and the working time can be shortened. Further, by swirling the air flow containing the sucked residue to separate the residue from the air flow, it is possible to prevent dust from entering the downstream side, so that dust adheres to the inside of the exhaust pump. The exhaust pump is less likely to be damaged, and dust is less scattered around the exhaust flow of the exhaust pump. Furthermore, not only the processed material but also the powder is sucked, similarly, the powder can be separated by the swirling flow without being drawn into the exhaust pump and dropped into the storage container.

本発明の吸引装置にかかる実施の形態について、図1〜図3を参照しながら説明する。図中3は、処理物例えば図6及び図7に記載の生ゴミ処理機に設けられた処理容器1内にある一次発酵物を吸引するための例えば樹脂製の筒状体をなす吸引パイプである。吸引作業時には作業者が当該吸引パイプ3の先端部を持って移動し、処理容器1内に挿入して吸引パイプ3の先端に形成された吸引口31を目標とする一次発酵物に近付けることにより、その吸引圧により一次発酵物を吸い込み可能なように構成されている。なお、処理物である一次発酵物は、例えば40重量%の水分を含み、例えば粒子径0.01mm程度の微細粒子から例えば50mm程度の塊状のものも含まれる広範囲な粒度分布を有し、更には担持体である例えば杉チップ、おが屑、椰子殻粉砕物などの繊維が混ざっている。   Embodiments of the suction device of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the figure, reference numeral 3 denotes a suction pipe that forms a cylindrical body made of, for example, resin for sucking the primary fermented material in the processing container 1 provided in the garbage processing machine shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. is there. The operator moves while holding the tip of the suction pipe 3 during the suction operation, and is inserted into the processing container 1 to bring the suction port 31 formed at the tip of the suction pipe 3 closer to the target primary fermented product. The primary fermentation product can be sucked by the suction pressure. The primary fermented product that is a processed product contains, for example, 40% by weight of water, and has a wide particle size distribution including, for example, fine particles having a particle diameter of about 0.01 mm to particles having a size of about 50 mm, for example. Is mixed with fibers such as cedar chips, sawdust, and coconut shell pulverized material.

また図中4は、前記吸引パイプ3を介して一次発酵物と共に吸引した周囲の空気(空気流)から当該一次発酵物を分離して捕集するための捕集手段である(詳しくは図2参照)。更に捕集手段4は、一次発酵物と空気流とを分離するための分離部である旋回流形成部40と、この分離された一次発酵物を貯留するための貯留部である第一の貯留容器41とを備えている。第一の貯留容器41は例えば円筒形の容器であり、特に作業者が持ち運び可能なように例えば200リットルのスチール製又は鉄製のドラム缶が選択される。また第一の貯留容器41の例えば上段部には、例えば生ゴミの投入作業時に誤って投入された異物例えばスプーンなどを一次発酵物から分離するための網目格子をなすフィルタ部42が第一の貯留容器41内を上下に区画するようにして着脱自在に設けられている。なお、43は例えばキャスター付きの運搬台であり、このような運搬台43を用いることで作業者が容易に捕集手段4を移送できるように構成されている。   Reference numeral 4 in the figure denotes a collecting means for separating and collecting the primary fermentation product from the ambient air (air flow) sucked together with the primary fermentation product via the suction pipe 3 (see FIG. 2 in detail). reference). Further, the collecting means 4 is a swirl flow forming unit 40 that is a separation unit for separating the primary fermentation product and the air flow, and a first storage that is a storage unit for storing the separated primary fermentation product. And a container 41. The first storage container 41 is, for example, a cylindrical container. For example, a 200-liter steel or iron drum can is selected so that the worker can carry it. The first storage container 41 has, for example, a filter section 42 that forms a mesh lattice for separating foreign substances, such as spoons, that have been mistakenly introduced during the operation of charging garbage, from the primary fermentation product. The storage container 41 is detachably provided so as to be divided vertically. In addition, 43 is a carrier with a caster, for example, By using such a carrier 43, it is comprised so that an operator can convey the collection means 4 easily.

また第一の貯留容器41の上面側開口部には、この開口部を塞ぐ例えば鉄製の蓋体44が脱着可能に設けられており、更に前記した分離部である旋回流形成部40は当該蓋体44の例えば中心領域に設けられている。旋回流形成部40は、底面側が開口する例えば直径250mm、高さ350mmの円筒状の筒状体である本体部45を備えており、この本体部45の側面上部側には上から見て当該本体部45の天井面に対して接線方向に伸びる例えば直径75mmの吸入口(吸引ポート)である吸入ノズル46が設けられている。当該吸入ノズル46には前記吸引パイプ3の一端が接続され、当該吸引パイプ3から吸引された一次発酵物を含む空気流は当該吸入ノズル46を介して旋回流形成部40に導入される。なお、図中47は、第一の貯留容器41と蓋体44との接触面の気密性を確保するためのシール材例えばゴムパッキンである。   In addition, a lid 44 made of, for example, iron that closes the opening is detachably provided at the opening on the upper surface side of the first storage container 41. Further, the swirl flow forming unit 40 that is the separation unit described above is provided with the lid. For example, it is provided in the central region of the body 44. The swirl flow forming unit 40 includes a main body 45 that is a cylindrical tubular body having a diameter of, for example, 250 mm and a height of 350 mm with an opening on the bottom surface side. A suction nozzle 46 that is, for example, a suction port (suction port) having a diameter of 75 mm and extending in a tangential direction with respect to the ceiling surface of the main body 45 is provided. One end of the suction pipe 3 is connected to the suction nozzle 46, and the air flow containing the primary fermentation product sucked from the suction pipe 3 is introduced into the swirl flow forming unit 40 through the suction nozzle 46. In the figure, reference numeral 47 denotes a sealing material, for example, rubber packing, for ensuring the airtightness of the contact surface between the first storage container 41 and the lid 44.

また本体部45の天井面の中心には、詳しくは図3に示すように、上下に伸びる例えば直径75mmの排気口(排気ポート)である排気ノズル48が例えば125mm程度内側に突き出すようにして挿設されている。なお、後段に設けられる吸引手段により排気ノズル48を介して本体部45内の雰囲気が吸引排気されることから、詳しくは後述するが本体部45内で形成される旋回流と上昇流とが干渉して気流が乱れることで上昇流中に一次発酵物の特に微細粒子が混入して排気されるのを防止するため、排気ノズル48の直径Dに対して、本体部45の直径DがD≧3Dとなるように設定するのが好ましい。更にまた、本体部45の内壁面は表面が平滑な材質を選択するか、あるいは例えば鉄で本体部45を製作して加工により表面を平滑化しておくのが好ましい。このような構成とすれば、例えば粘性の高い一次発酵物が入り込んでも本体部45の壁面に付着して旋回流の抵抗となることが少なく、そのため本体部45内で乱れのない旋回流を形成することができる点で有利である。即ち、この例では本体部45、吸入ノズル46、排気ノズル48および蓋体44により分離器が構成されている。 Further, as shown in detail in FIG. 3, an exhaust nozzle 48 that is an exhaust port (exhaust port) having a diameter of, for example, 75 mm is inserted into the center of the ceiling surface of the main body 45 so as to protrude inward by, for example, about 125 mm. It is installed. Since the atmosphere in the main body 45 is sucked and exhausted by the suction means provided in the subsequent stage through the exhaust nozzle 48, the swirl flow and the upward flow formed in the main body 45 interfere with each other as will be described in detail later. and to prevent the particular fine particles of the primary fermentation product to increase flow by air flow is disturbed is evacuated mixed with, the diameter D 1 of the exhaust nozzle 48, the diameter D 2 of the main body portion 45 It is preferable to set so that D 2 ≧ 3D 1 . Furthermore, it is preferable to select a material with a smooth surface for the inner wall surface of the main body 45, or to manufacture the main body 45 with, for example, iron and smooth the surface by processing. With such a configuration, for example, even when a primary fermented product having a high viscosity enters, it hardly adheres to the wall surface of the main body 45 and becomes a resistance to the swirling flow, so that a swirling flow without turbulence is formed in the main body 45. This is advantageous in that it can be done. That is, in this example, the main body 45, the suction nozzle 46, the exhaust nozzle 48, and the lid 44 constitute a separator.

ここで説明を図1に戻すと、捕集手段4の後段には、吸引パイプ3の吸引口31から当該吸引駆動部50に至る吸引流を発生させるための吸引手段5が設けられている。この吸引手段5は、駆動部である吸引駆動部50と、吸引した一次発酵物を貯留するための第二の貯留容器51とを備えており、この第二の貯留容器51の側面に設けられた吸入ノズル52と前記排気ノズル48とが吸引路52例えばホースを介して接続されている。また吸引駆動部50には排気手段例えば排気ポンプ53が設けられており、この排気ポンプ53が駆動して第二の貯留容器51内の雰囲気が外部に排気されることにより、吸引流が形成されるように構成されている。なお図中55は吸入ノズル52から第二の貯留容器51内に吸入された一次発酵物が排出口54に吸い込まれるのを抑えるための仕切り壁である。   Returning to FIG. 1, the suction means 5 for generating a suction flow from the suction port 31 of the suction pipe 3 to the suction drive unit 50 is provided at the subsequent stage of the collection means 4. The suction unit 5 includes a suction drive unit 50 that is a drive unit, and a second storage container 51 for storing the sucked primary fermentation product, and is provided on a side surface of the second storage container 51. The suction nozzle 52 and the exhaust nozzle 48 are connected to each other through a suction path 52, for example, a hose. Further, the suction drive unit 50 is provided with exhaust means, for example, an exhaust pump 53, and the exhaust pump 53 is driven to exhaust the atmosphere in the second storage container 51 to the outside, so that a suction flow is formed. It is comprised so that. In the figure, reference numeral 55 denotes a partition wall for suppressing the primary fermented product sucked into the second storage container 51 from the suction nozzle 52 from being sucked into the discharge port 54.

第二の貯留容器51は、前記した第一の貯留容器41と同じく例えばスチール製又は鉄製のドラム缶が用いられ、キャスター付きの運搬台56上に乗せられて移送可能なように構成されている。但し、この第二の貯留容器51は、上述の第一の貯留容器41とは異なり吸引した一次発酵物を積極的に貯留することを目的とするものではなく、例えば予期せぬ事態により前段の捕集手段4の分離作用が不十分となることで回収しきれなかった一次発酵物が排気ポンプ53内に入り込むのを抑えるための、いわば安全タンクとしての位置付けで設けられたものである。つまり定常時においては旋回流形成部40にて一次発酵物は空気流から略完全に分離されるので、例えば旋回流形成部40の排気ノズル48に排気ポンプ53を直接接続してもよいが、第二の貯留容器51を設けるたことにより、一次発酵物、特にその粉塵が排気ポンプ53内に入り込むのをより確実に抑えることができる。そして、更に確実に排気ポンプ53内への一次発酵物の混入を防止するために、例えばフィルタ機構例えばサランフィルタを第二の貯留容器51と排気ポンプ53との間に設けるようにしてもよい、この場合であっても補修手段4にて一次発酵物は略完全に回収され第二の貯留容器51内に入り込むものは僅かであるためサランフィルタが詰まることが少ない。   For example, a steel or iron drum can is used for the second storage container 51, as in the case of the first storage container 41 described above, and is configured to be transported by being placed on a carriage 56 with casters. However, this second storage container 51 is not intended to positively store the sucked primary fermented product unlike the first storage container 41 described above. It is provided as a so-called safety tank in order to suppress the primary fermented material that could not be recovered due to insufficient separation action of the collecting means 4 from entering the exhaust pump 53. That is, in the steady state, the primary fermented product is almost completely separated from the air flow in the swirl flow forming unit 40. For example, the exhaust pump 53 may be directly connected to the exhaust nozzle 48 of the swirl flow forming unit 40. By providing the second storage container 51, it is possible to more reliably suppress the primary fermented product, particularly the dust, from entering the exhaust pump 53. In order to more reliably prevent the primary fermentation product from being mixed into the exhaust pump 53, for example, a filter mechanism such as a Saran filter may be provided between the second storage container 51 and the exhaust pump 53. Even in this case, the primary fermented product is almost completely recovered by the repairing means 4 and only a small amount enters the second storage container 51, so the Saran filter is rarely clogged.

なお既述のように一次発酵物は水及び油の量によって粘性が高くなり、場合によっては例えば担持体の繊維が絡み合う汚泥状又は塊状となっていることから、吸引力が弱いと吸い込むことができないか、あるいは例えば吸引パイプ3の途中で詰まってしまうため、少なくとも吸引パイプ3の吸引口31の吸引圧が所定の吸引圧例えば20kPa以上となるように設定するのが望ましい。そのため排気ポンプ53は、前記所定の吸引圧を確保できるように例えばモータ出力3KW以上、吸引仕事率300W以上のものを用いることが好ましい。更に吸引手段5としては例えば家庭用のものよりも吸引力の高い工業用の掃除機を適用することができ、例えば三立機械株式会社製の工業用クリーナーJE−560型を用いることができる。   As mentioned above, the primary fermented product becomes highly viscous depending on the amount of water and oil, and in some cases, for example, it is in the form of sludge or lumps in which the fibers of the carrier are intertwined. For example, the suction pipe 3 is clogged in the middle of the suction pipe 3, so that at least the suction pressure of the suction port 31 of the suction pipe 3 is desirably set to a predetermined suction pressure, for example, 20 kPa or more. Therefore, it is preferable to use, for example, a pump having a motor output of 3 KW or more and a suction work rate of 300 W or more so that the predetermined suction pressure can be secured. Furthermore, as the suction means 5, for example, an industrial cleaner having a higher suction force than that for home use can be applied, and for example, an industrial cleaner JE-560 manufactured by Mitsutoshi Machinery Co., Ltd. can be used.

続いて、本発明の吸引装置を用いて処理容器1内にある一次発酵物を吸引して回収する工程について図4を参照しながら説明する。先ず、撹拌アーム21を回転させると共に、シャッタ14aを開いて排出口14から一次発酵物を排出して例えば袋14bに詰める作業が行われる。これにより一次発酵物が処理容器1内からある程度排出されると、撹拌アーム21の回転動作を停止し、続いて本発明の吸引装置を用いて処理容器1内に残った一次発酵物を回収する作業が行われる。この一次発酵物を残渣物と呼ぶものとすると、先ず例えば作業者が吸引パイプ3を投入口13を介して処理容器1内に挿入すると共に、排気ポンプ53を稼動させて吸引動作を開始し、吸引パイプ3の先端を動かして任意の場所にある残渣物を順次吸い込んでいく。   Then, the process of attracting | sucking and collect | recovering the primary fermented material in the processing container 1 using the suction device of this invention is demonstrated, referring FIG. First, while rotating the stirring arm 21, the shutter 14a is opened, the primary fermented material is discharged from the discharge port 14, and packed into, for example, a bag 14b. Thus, when the primary fermented product is discharged from the processing vessel 1 to some extent, the rotating operation of the stirring arm 21 is stopped, and subsequently the primary fermented product remaining in the processing vessel 1 is recovered using the suction device of the present invention. Work is done. Assuming that this primary fermented product is called a residue, first, for example, the operator inserts the suction pipe 3 into the processing container 1 through the insertion port 13, and operates the exhaust pump 53 to start the suction operation. The tip of the suction pipe 3 is moved and the residue in an arbitrary place is sequentially sucked.

吸引パイプ3に吸い込まれた残渣物は、吸入ノズル46を介して所定の流量で旋回流形成部40の本体部45に導入される。そして図5に模式的に示すように、接線方向から本体部45内に導入された残渣物を含む空気流である吸引流は、本体部45の内周面に沿って旋回しながら下方側へ向かって流れる旋回流を形成する。その一方で、後段の排気ポンプ53の吸引作用により排気ノズル48を介して本体部45内の雰囲気が上方に向かって排出されることから当該旋回流の中央部(本体部45の中央部)を通って流れる上昇流が形成される。   The residue sucked into the suction pipe 3 is introduced into the main body 45 of the swirl flow forming unit 40 through the suction nozzle 46 at a predetermined flow rate. Then, as schematically shown in FIG. 5, the suction flow, which is an air flow including the residue introduced into the main body 45 from the tangential direction, is swung downward along the inner peripheral surface of the main body 45. A swirling flow that flows toward is formed. On the other hand, since the atmosphere in the main body 45 is discharged upward through the exhaust nozzle 48 by the suction action of the exhaust pump 53 at the rear stage, the central portion of the swirling flow (the central portion of the main body 45) is removed. An upward flow flowing through is formed.

即ち、本体部45内においては、内周面に沿って旋回しながら下方向へ流れる旋回流と、この旋回流の中心を上方向に流れる上昇流と、からなるサイクロン流と呼ばれる気流が形成され、このサイクロン流が形成されることにより本体部45内では固体粒子(残渣物)に対して遠心沈降作用が働き、空気流から残渣物が分離されることとなる。より詳しく説明すると、吸入ノズル46を介して導入された残渣物を含む空気流が本体部45内を旋回することにより遠心力が生じ、このとき比重の大きい残渣物(固体粒子)は空気よりも大きく遠心力が作用するので、残渣物は本体部45の内壁面側に寄せられて高密度化することにより空気流から分離される。そして本体部45の底面開口部から旋回流が排出されると、残渣物は自重による沈降作用により第一の貯留容器41内を落下し、フィルタ機構42を通過する際に例えばスプーンなどの異物が取り除かれて第一の貯留容器41の底部に堆積する。また残渣物が分離された空気流はその向きを反転させて上昇流となり、排気ノズル48から排出されて、第二の吸引路52を介して第二の貯留容器52内に導入され、更に排気ポンプ53を介して外部に排気されることとなる。   That is, in the main body 45, an air flow called a cyclone flow is formed which includes a swirling flow that flows downward while swirling along the inner peripheral surface, and an upward flow that flows upward through the center of the swirling flow. By forming this cyclone flow, the centrifugal sedimentation action acts on the solid particles (residues) in the main body 45, and the residues are separated from the airflow. More specifically, the centrifugal force is generated when the air flow including the residue introduced through the suction nozzle 46 swirls in the main body 45, and at this time, the residue (solid particles) having a higher specific gravity is more than the air. Since a large centrifugal force acts, the residue is separated from the air flow by being brought closer to the inner wall surface side of the main body 45 and densified. Then, when the swirling flow is discharged from the bottom opening of the main body 45, the residue falls in the first storage container 41 due to the sedimentation action due to its own weight, and foreign substances such as a spoon, for example, pass through the filter mechanism 42. It is removed and deposited on the bottom of the first storage container 41. In addition, the air flow from which the residue has been separated is reversed in the direction to become an upward flow, discharged from the exhaust nozzle 48, introduced into the second storage container 52 through the second suction path 52, and further exhausted. The air is exhausted to the outside through the pump 53.

なお、吸引動作を続けることで第一の貯留容器41が満杯になるか、あるいは予め決めた量の残渣物が容器内に貯まると、一旦吸引動作を中断し、蓋体44を第一の貯留容器41から外して別の容器と入れ替えるか、あるいは例えば袋などに詰め替えて貯留容器41内を空にした後、当該第一の貯留容器41を再度取り付けて吸引作業を再開する。   When the first storage container 41 becomes full by continuing the suction operation or when a predetermined amount of residue is stored in the container, the suction operation is temporarily stopped and the lid body 44 is stored in the first storage container. The container 41 is removed from the container 41 and replaced with another container, or, for example, refilled into a bag or the like to empty the storage container 41, and then the first storage container 41 is attached again to resume the suction operation.

本実施の形態によれば、吸引装置を用いて処理容器1内の残渣物を吸引パイプ3で吸い込んで回収する構成とすることにより、これまで手作業で行っていた残渣物の掻き出し作業を省くことができる。このため回収作業を簡単に行えるので、結果として作業時間の短縮化を図ることができる。そして本例を適用することにより、「従来の技術」の欄に記載したように、これまで4人がかりで半日作業であったものが、2人がかりで1時間程度まで短縮できたことを発明者らは確認している。また吸引パイプ3の先端を任意の場所に近付けて吸引することができるので、処理容器1内の残渣物を一つの場所にかき集めることを要せず、撹拌アーム21の表面や処理容器1の隅部など手の届き難い部位に付着した残渣物を簡単に吸い込むことができるので、回収精度が高く、そのため回収作業後の処理容器1内には残渣物がないか、あるいは極微量となっている。その結果、これまでのように回収作業の後に、新たに清掃作業を行う手間を省くことができる。更に吸引パイプ3から周囲の空気を吸い込みながら残渣物を吸引することができるので、投入口13からの残渣物の粉塵の飛散を抑えられ、そのため悪臭が広がることが少ない。   According to the present embodiment, the residue in the processing container 1 is sucked with the suction pipe 3 and collected by using the suction device, so that the scraping work of the residue that has been performed manually is omitted. be able to. As a result, the collection operation can be performed easily, and as a result, the operation time can be shortened. And by applying this example, as described in the column of “Prior art”, it was invented that what used to be half-day work with 4 people can be shortened to about 1 hour with 2 people. They have confirmed. Further, since the tip of the suction pipe 3 can be sucked close to an arbitrary place, it is not necessary to scrape the residue in the processing container 1 in one place, and the surface of the stirring arm 21 and the corner of the processing container 1 are not required. Residue adhering to difficult-to-reach parts such as parts can be sucked in easily, so that the collection accuracy is high, so that there is no residue in the processing container 1 after the collection operation or the amount is very small. . As a result, it is possible to save the trouble of performing a new cleaning operation after the collection operation as before. Furthermore, since the residue can be sucked in while sucking the ambient air from the suction pipe 3, the scattering of the dust of the residue from the inlet 13 can be suppressed, so that the bad odor is less likely to spread.

更に本実施の形態によれば、排出ノズル48の直径に対して本体部45の直径が3倍以上になるように設定した旋回流形成部40を設け、吸引した残渣物を含む空気流を大きく旋回させて残渣物を分離する構成とすることにより、数ミクロンの精度で残渣物を空気流から分離することができる。このため下流側に向かう空気流中に残渣物が混入することが抑えられるので、排気ポンプ53内部に残渣物が付着して当該排気ポンプ53を損傷することが少ない。更には排気ポンプ53の排気流と共に残渣物の粉塵が周囲に排気されることが抑えられるので、悪臭が周囲に広がることが少なく、作業者に負担の少ないクリーンな作業環境を確保することができる。   Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the swirl flow forming portion 40 is set so that the diameter of the main body portion 45 is three times or more the diameter of the discharge nozzle 48 to increase the air flow including the sucked residue. By making it the structure which isolate | separates a residue by swirling, a residue can be isolate | separated from an air flow with the precision of several microns. For this reason, since it is suppressed that a residue mixes in the air flow which goes downstream, the residue adheres inside the exhaust pump 53, and there is little damage to the said exhaust pump 53. Furthermore, since the dust of the residue is prevented from being exhausted to the surroundings together with the exhaust flow of the exhaust pump 53, it is possible to ensure a clean working environment with less bad odor and less burden on the operator. .

更に本実施の形態によれば、旋回流形成部40の本体部45は上部側の直径と底部側の直径とを同じにした円筒状で構成されていることから、粘性の高い汚泥状の残渣物が吸引されても途中で詰まることが少なく、容易に空気流から残渣物を分離することができる。即ち、本例においては、排気ポンプ53内に進入しやすい微細粒子及び、水分又は油分を含んだ粘性の高い汚泥状又は塊状の残渣物、更には担持体の繊維なども一括して吸い込んでいるため、これらを共通の捕集手段4で分離するには例えば一般のサイクロンで採用される底面部を下方側に向かうにつれて直径を小さくする絞り機構を備えた構成とすると、この絞り機構内で汚泥又は塊や繊維が詰まって底面側開口部を塞いでしまう。しかしながら、本例ではこのような絞り機構を設けていないので汚泥又は塊や繊維などを空気流から分離して落下させることができる。更には、既述のように本体部45の直径を3倍以上に設定して本体部45内で大きく旋回する旋回流を形成する構成を組み合わせたことにより、共通の捕集手段(旋回流形成部40)を用いて汚泥や繊維などと共に微細粒子(粉塵)の捕集も同時に行うことができる。なお、本体部45は上部側の直径よりも底部側の直径を大きくしたり、更には底部側を外に広げた構成であってもよい。   Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the main body 45 of the swirl flow forming unit 40 is formed in a cylindrical shape with the same diameter on the upper side and the same diameter on the bottom side, so that a highly viscous sludge-like residue is formed. Even if an object is sucked, it is hardly clogged in the middle, and the residue can be easily separated from the air flow. That is, in this example, fine particles that easily enter the exhaust pump 53, highly viscous sludge-like or lump-like residues containing moisture or oil, and fibers of the carrier are also sucked together. Therefore, in order to separate them by the common collecting means 4, for example, if the bottom portion used in a general cyclone is configured to have a throttle mechanism that reduces the diameter as it goes downward, sludge is contained in this throttle mechanism. Or a lump or a fiber is clogged and the bottom side opening is blocked. However, in this example, since such a throttling mechanism is not provided, sludge or lump or fiber can be separated and dropped from the air flow. Further, as described above, by combining the structure that forms a swirling flow that largely swirls within the main body 45 by setting the diameter of the main body 45 to be three times or more, a common collecting means (a swirling flow formation) Part 40) can be used to collect fine particles (dust) together with sludge and fibers. The main body 45 may have a configuration in which the diameter on the bottom side is made larger than the diameter on the upper side, or further, the bottom side is widened outward.

更に本実施の形態によれば、装置構成が複雑でなく、かつ作業者により簡単に持ち運びできるため、残渣物を貯留した第一の貯留容器41の運搬が簡単であり、また例えば生ゴミ処理機の製造・販売メーカのサービスマンが当該吸引装置を持って各家庭を巡回して残渣物を回収していくことができる。即ち、各生ゴミ処理機毎に吸引装置を設けなくともよいので、結果として生ゴミ処理装置の低コスト化及び小型化を図ることができる。更には処理容器1の底面に排出口14を設ける必要がないことから、生ごみ処理機の構造を簡単にすることができる。   Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, since the apparatus configuration is not complicated and can be easily carried by an operator, it is easy to carry the first storage container 41 storing the residue. The service person of the manufacturer / sales manufacturer can go around each household with the suction device and collect the residue. That is, since it is not necessary to provide a suction device for each garbage processing machine, the cost and size of the garbage processing device can be reduced as a result. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to provide the discharge port 14 on the bottom surface of the processing container 1, the structure of the garbage processing machine can be simplified.

なお、本実施の形態においては、排出口14を介して一次発酵物をある程度排出させてから残渣物を吸引回収する手法に限られず、例えば処理容器1内にある一次発酵物の全部を吸引回収するようにしてもよい。このような構成であっても上述の場合と同様の効果を得ることができ、更に処理容器1に排出口14を形成しておかなくともよいので、生ゴミ処理装置の装置構成が簡単になる点で有利である。   In the present embodiment, the method is not limited to a method in which the primary fermented product is discharged to some extent through the discharge port 14 and then the residue is sucked and collected. For example, all of the primary fermented product in the processing container 1 is sucked and collected. You may make it do. Even if it is such a structure, the effect similar to the above-mentioned case can be acquired, Furthermore, since the discharge port 14 does not need to be formed in the processing container 1, the apparatus structure of a garbage disposal apparatus becomes simple. This is advantageous.

また本発明のおいては、処理物は一次発酵物に限られず、水分又は油分を含む粉体であれば適用することができる。その一例としては例えば家畜の糞などが挙げられる。この場合であっても同様に粉体が排気ポンプ側に引き込まれずに旋回流により分離されて貯留容器内に落下させることができる。更に本発明においては、接線方向に吸入ノズル46を設けた構成に限られず、例えば本体部45の側面あるいは上面に吸入ノズル46を設け、そこから吹き出す気流を内周面に案内するガイドを設けるといった構造であってもよい。   Moreover, in this invention, a processed material is not restricted to a primary fermented material, If it is a powder containing a water | moisture content or oil, it can apply. One example is livestock feces. Even in this case, the powder can be separated by the swirl flow without being drawn into the exhaust pump and dropped into the storage container. Further, the present invention is not limited to the configuration in which the suction nozzle 46 is provided in the tangential direction. For example, the suction nozzle 46 is provided on the side surface or the upper surface of the main body 45 and a guide for guiding the airflow blown from the suction nozzle 46 to the inner peripheral surface is provided. It may be a structure.
