In the present embodiment, the cover 71 is made of a resin that can be seen through from the outside, like the container 66, and is configured so that the state of discharge from the processing tank 22 can be visually confirmed. The cover 71 may have a shape that closes the entire upper end opening of the container 66.

  The garbage processing machine having the above-described configuration is operated according to a program stored in advance in the storage means 75 by the microcomputer 74 which is a control means mounted on the control board 73. Specifically, the microcomputer 74 operates by converting electric power from a commercial power source into a DC voltage by the power supply circuit unit 76 and applying the DC voltage. Then, it serves as a lid opening control means, and when the switch 16 of the safety device is in an ON state and the distance measuring sensor 48 detects that an object including a human body is approaching, the solenoid 57 is operated, By releasing the locking of the locking receiving portion 52 by the locking portion 55, the lid 50 is automatically opened by the biasing force of the hinge spring 51. When the switch 62 detects that the lid 50 is closed, periodic control of turning on and off the heater 47 and rotation of the stirring member 27 is started using the closed time as a control start point. Furthermore, it plays the role of the base material state judging means for judging the state of the processing function of the bio base material based on the detection values by the temperature sensors 63 to 65 which are the base material state detecting means every predetermined time, and based on the judgment result. The heater 47 is turned on and off, and the time for operating the stirring member 27 in one cycle is changed, and the state of the bio-substrate treatment function is displayed on the display unit of the operation panel 77.

  In the stirring means control process, the microcomputer 74 as the stirring control means repeatedly executes the first stirring action and the second stirring action in a preset cycle as shown in FIG. Specifically, in this stirring control, after the stirring member 27 is operated for a preset operation time (Tb + Tc + Td or Te), a cycle for stopping the stirring member 27 for a preset stop time (Ta) is repeated. . Then, a predetermined number (three) of cycles are collected as one stirring cycle, and this stirring cycle is repeatedly controlled. Moreover, one period is performed by 1st stirring operation among the periods which comprise this stirring cycle, and another period is performed by 2nd stirring operation. In the first stirring operation, the stirring member 27 is reversely rotated during a part of the operation time Tb, the predetermined stop time Tc is passed, and the other time Td is rotated forward. In the second stirring operation, the stirring member 27 is operated by rotating it forward for all the time Te.

  In the present embodiment, when the stirring cycle by the stirring member 27 detects the blockage of the lid 50, the first cycle is performed during the stop time Ta after the operation time Tb + Tc + Td is performed in the first stirring operation. Wait while stirring operation is stopped. After that, the second execution cycle is performed until the stop time Ta elapses after the operation time Te is performed in the second stirring operation. When the stop time Ta elapses, the third execution cycle is again After the operation time Te is performed in the second stirring operation, the operation waits until the stop time Ta elapses. As described above, the three cycles are set as one stirring cycle, the first cycle performs the first stirring operation, and the other cycle executes the second stirring operation.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the rear cover 19 is removed, the switch 16 constituting the safety device is turned off, so that the stirring member 27 cannot be rotated. In this state, when the lid 50 is closed and the switch 71 is turned on by attaching the cover 71, the stirring operation by the stirring member 27 is started. That is, in this embodiment, when the cover 71 is attached, the stirring member 27 is configured to be reversed.

  Next, the control by the microcomputer 74 will be specifically described.

  When the power is turned on, as shown in FIG. 9, the microcomputer 74 first resets and starts the built-in time timer 78 in step S1, and then, in step S2, the set time elapses (counts up). ) Is detected. If the set time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S3. If the set time has not elapsed, the process proceeds to step S5.

  In step S3, 1 is input to the flag fa indicating that a predetermined time has elapsed after the power is turned on. Then, in step S4, the time counting timer 78 is stopped and the process proceeds to step S5.

  In step S5, a garbage disposal control process described later is executed, and the process proceeds to step S6. In step S6, it is detected whether 1 is input to the flag fa. If fa is 1, the process proceeds to step S5. If fa is not 1 (fa = 0), the process returns to step S2. That is, after a predetermined time has elapsed after the power is turned on, only the garbage processing control process of step S5 is performed. Here, the set time is necessary for judging the usage status of the user or activating the bio-base material, such as when purchasing a new garbage processing machine or replacing the internal bio-base material. It ’s a great time.

  Next, the garbage disposal control process in step S5 will be specifically described.

  In this garbage disposal control process, as shown in FIG. 10, the microcomputer 74 first detects whether or not the switch 16 of the safety device is turned off by removing the rear cover 19 in step S10. When the switch 16 is turned off, the process proceeds to step S11. When the switch 16 is not in the off state (on state), the process proceeds to step S14.

  In step S11, after the stirring member 27 is stopped, in step S12, the process waits until it is detected that the lid 50 is closed via the switch 62. When the lid 50 is closed, in step S13, the cover 71 is attached, and the process waits until the safety device switch 16 is turned on. When the switch 16 is turned on, the process proceeds to step S17.

  On the other hand, when the OFF state of the switch 16 of the safety device is not detected, it is detected whether or not the lid 50 is opened via the switch 62 in step S14. If the opening of the lid 50 is detected, the process proceeds to step S15. If the opening of the lid 50 is not detected, the process proceeds to step S19.

  In step S15, after the stirring member 27 is stopped, the process waits until it is detected in step S16 that the lid 50 is closed via the switch 62. When the closure of the lid 50 is detected, in step S17, a two-hour timer that is a cycle for detecting the state of the processing function of the bio-base material is reset and started, and in step S18, stirring means control described later is performed. Data of the agitation cycle for operating the agitation member 27 in the process is read from the storage means 75. Specifically, the number of periods (n) collected as one agitation cycle, and the period (m) indicating the number of which the first agitation operation is executed are read.

  In step S19, it is detected whether or not the 2-hour timer has counted up. If it has been counted up, the process proceeds to step S20. If it has not been counted up, the process proceeds to step S24.

  In step S20, in order to detect the state of the processing function of the bio-base material, the timer is reset and started for 2 hours. Then, in step S21, the three temperature sensors 63 to 65 which are base material state detection means are used. Thus, the temperature in the treatment tank 22, the temperature of the bio-base material, and the temperature of the outside air are detected.

  Next, in step S22, after executing the base material state determination process for determining the state of the bio base material based on the detected three temperatures, in step S23, based on the determined state of the bio base material processing function. The display unit of the operation panel 77 is changed, and the process proceeds to step S24.

  In step S24, a bio-base material adjustment process including a control process for the stirring means including the motor 28 and the stirring member 27 and a heating means control process using the heater 47 is executed, and the process returns. In the heating means control process, the heating time by the heater 47 is changed based on the state of the bio-substrate processing function determined in step S22.

  Next, the stirring means control process will be specifically described.

  In this stirring means control process, as shown in FIG. 11, the microcomputer 74 first detects in step S30 whether or not a stop timer (Ta), which is a time for stopping the stirring member 27, is counting up. If the stop timer (Ta) is counting up, the process proceeds to step S31, and if not counting up, the process returns. Immediately after the switch 16 of the safety device is turned on (step S13) by attaching the cover 71, and immediately after the lid 50 is closed (step S16) without detecting the switch 16 being turned off, The stop timer is counting up, and the process always proceeds to step S31.

  In step S31, it is detected whether or not the period (m) of the stirring operation is 1. And when m is 1, it progresses to step S32, performs the 1st stirring operation execution process which has reverse rotation operation, and progresses to step S34. On the other hand, when m is not 1, it progresses to step S33, performs the 2nd stirring operation execution process which does not have reverse rotation operation, and progresses to step S34.

  In step S34, 1 is added to the period (m) of the stirring operation (m = m + 1). In step S35, it is detected whether or not the period (m) is equal to or greater than the number (n) of the stirring cycles (m ≧ n). If the period (m) is greater than or equal to the number of periods (n), the process proceeds to step S36, the period (m) is reset (1), and the process proceeds to step S37, where the period (m) is the number of periods (n). If it is less than once, the process proceeds to step S37 as it is. In step S37, the stop timer (Ta) is reset and started, and the process returns.

  Next, the stirring action when the stirring member 27 is rotated in the forward rotation direction will be specifically described.

  When the agitating member 27 is rotated in the forward rotation direction by the motor 28, first, in the first blade portion 32, the bio base material containing garbage is pushed up by the first inclined plates 34a, 34b. Further, the first side plate 35 whose tip is inclined toward the rotation shaft 29 by the inclination of the first connecting plate 33 is pressed toward the rotation shaft 29 so as to be raked inward. In the 2nd blade | wing part 36, the bio base material containing garbage is pushed down by 2nd inclination board 38a, 38b. Further, the second connecting plate 37 is pressed by the second side plate 39 whose tip is inclined toward the rotating shaft 29 by the inclination of the second connecting plate 37 so as to be scraped inwardly toward the rotating shaft 29. In the third blade portion 42, the bio base material containing garbage is pushed up by the third inclined plate 44. Further, outward flow is suppressed by the third side plates 46a, 46b, and 46c.

  As a result, around the stirring member 27, a flow portion where the bio-base is moved upward and a flow portion where the bio-base is moved downward are formed. Therefore, the distribution of the bio-base and the garbage can be uniformly stirred throughout the treatment tank 22 by the action of these fluidized portions, and the garbage is supported by the bio-base supporting the aerobic bio-fungi. The decomposition efficiency of can be improved.

  Next, the stirring action when the stirring member 27 is rotated in the reverse direction will be specifically described.

  When the agitating member 27 is rotated in the reverse direction by the motor 28, contrary to the normal rotation, first, in the first blade portion 32, the bio base material containing garbage is pushed down by the first inclined plates 34a and 34b. It is done. Further, the first connection plate 33 is pushed outward in the radial direction by the first side plate 35 whose tip is inclined toward the rotation shaft 29 by the inclination of the first connection plate 33. In the 2nd blade | wing part 36, the bio base material containing garbage is pushed up by 2nd inclination board 38a, 38b. Further, the second connecting plate 37 is pushed outward in the radial direction by the second side plate 39 whose tip is inclined toward the rotation shaft 29 by the inclination of the second connecting plate 37. In the 3rd blade | wing part 42, the bio base material containing garbage is pushed up by the 4th inclination board 45. As shown in FIG. Further, outward flow is suppressed by the third side plates 46a, 46b, and 46c.

  Thereby, around the stirring member 27, in addition to the flow part in which the bio-base material is moved upward and the flow part in which it is moved downward, a flow part in which the bio base material is moved outward with a strong force is formed. Therefore, the distribution of the bio-base and the garbage can be uniformly stirred throughout the treatment tank 22 by the action of these fluidized portions, and the garbage is supported by the bio-base supporting the aerobic bio-fungi. The decomposition efficiency of can be improved.

  Next, an example of a method for discarding the bio-substrate in the treatment tank 22 will be specifically described.

  When a part of the bio-base is discarded and a new bio-base is replenished, the rear cover 19 is removed as shown in FIG. As a result, the switch 16 of the safety device is turned off (step S10), and the stirring member 27 is unable to rotate. Then, the insertion locking portion 68 of the container 66 is inserted and locked from the lower end edge of the opening 15.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 13, the screw of the lid 25 attached to the cylindrical portion 24 of the treatment tank 22 is removed from the exposed opening 15 to remove the lid 25. As a result, when the bio-base material contains little moisture and is in a dry state, it is discharged from the discharge port 23 to the container 66 naturally. In addition, when the bio-base material contains a large amount of water, it is not discharged naturally.

  Therefore, in this case, it is necessary to insert and discharge a hand or a scraping member from the discharge port 23. In this embodiment, since the switch 16 constituting the safety device is in an OFF state in this state, the stirring member 27 rotates even if the user inserts a hand or another member from the discharge port 23. In this case, the user's hand can be prevented from being injured and safety can be ensured.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the pressing part 72 which turns on the switch 16 of a safety device is provided in the cover 71 with which the said discharge port 23 is mounted | worn. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, when the cover 71 is attached to the opening 15, the switch 16 is turned on (step S14).

  If it does so, since the microcomputer 74 will transfer to step S24 through step S17, S18, it will operate the stirring member 27, The operation | movement is the 1st stirring operation which reverses the first operation time Tb. That is, when the switch 16 of the safety device is turned on by attaching the cover 71, the stirring member 27 is reversed.

  When the agitating member 27 is reversed, a flow portion that is moved outward by a strong pressure as described above is formed. As a result, the bio-substrate filled in the processing tank 22 is automatically and forcibly discharged to the outside through the discharge port 23. The discharged bio-base material collides with the wall surface of the cover 71 that covers the opening 15 including the discharge port 23, and is discharged into the container 66 from the lower end placed on the stepped portion 67 of the container 66. In this state, since the opening 15 including the discharge port 23 is covered by the cover 71, the user cannot insert a hand or the like into the treatment tank 22 from the discharge port 23.

  Thus, in the garbage processing machine of the present invention, the stirring member 27 is reversed in a state in which the user cannot insert a hand or the like from the discharge port 23, so that safety is ensured and the bio-base material is efficiently Can be discharged. In addition, the container 66 of the present embodiment has a color scheme that allows the inside to be seen through and is provided with a scale 70 corresponding to the capacity so that it can be measured. ) Can improve convenience. Moreover, although the container 66 is a dedicated one, it is not a so-called disposable product and is used many times, so that it is possible to prevent an increase in cost.

  In addition, since the stirring cycle of this embodiment reverses only one part of 1 period, as shown in FIG. 8, there may be a case where a desired amount of bio-base material cannot be discharged only by the reverse operation time Tb. However, even if the stirring member 27 operates by forward rotation (Td), the bio-base material acts so as to be pushed outward slightly, so that forced discharge is possible. However, in the case of the stirring member 27 of the present embodiment, the action of causing the bio-base material to flow outward is stronger during the reverse rotation. Therefore, when the reverse rotation is desired again, the switch 16 by the pressing portion 72 of the cover 71 is used. By releasing the press, the switch 16 is once turned off, and once again pressed and turned on, the stirring member 27 can be reversed again.

  14 to 18 show a garbage disposal machine according to the second embodiment. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the configuration of the base material disposal tool is changed. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 14, 15, and 16, the base material disposal tool according to the second embodiment closes a duct 79 in which a disposal bag can be attached and an opening of the duct 79. And a cover 86.

  The duct 79 is detachably mounted so as to surround the opening 15 of the processor body 10 and has a substantially quadrangular pyramid shape. At the front end of the duct 79, a flange portion 80 that is in contact with the rear surface of the frame body 12 is provided to project outward so as to surround the opening 15. On the inner peripheral edge of the flange portion 80, an insertion locking portion 81 protruding in a substantially U shape from a position excluding the upper portion is projected. An engagement protrusion 82 that engages with the edge of the opening 15 is provided on the side plate portion of the insertion locking portion 81. In addition, a substantially L-shaped positioning portion 83 for positioning a cover 86 (described later) projects forward from the center of the upper edge of the flange portion 80. Further, an opening 79 a for exposing the discharge port 23 is provided on the upper surface of the duct 79. Furthermore, a bag mounting portion 84 is formed on the rear side of the opening 79a. The bag mounting portion 84 has a rectangular tube shape and is provided with a retaining portion 84a bulging outward at the rear end. In the figure, reference numerals 85a and 85b denote reinforcing ribs.

  The cover 86 closes the opening 79a of the duct 79, and has a triangular shape in side view with its front and lower surfaces opened. At the front end edge of the cover 86, as with the duct 79, a flange portion 87 that abuts against the rear surface of the frame unit is projected outward from the peripheral edge except the lower end. The flange portion 87 is provided with a recess 88 into which the flange portion 80 of the duct 79 is fitted. Further, a pressing portion 89 for turning on the switch 16 constituting the safety device by being inserted into the insertion hole 17 is provided at one lower end of the flange portion 87. Note that the positions of the insertion hole 17 and the switch 16 constituting the safety device of the second embodiment are adjusted to correspond to the pressing portion 89.

  The garbage processing machine of the second embodiment is controlled by the microcomputer 74 in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

  When a part of the bio-base material is discarded and a new bio-base material is replenished, a desired bag in the home is put on the bag mounting portion 84 of the duct 79 and tied with a string or the like. Thereby, it can attach without removing a bag by the securing part 84a.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 17, the rear cover 19 is removed, the switch 16 of the safety device is turned off (step S10), and the stirring member 27 is made unrotatable. Then, the insertion locking portion 81 of the duct 79 is inserted and locked from the lower end edge of the opening 15.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 18, the screw of the lid 25 attached to the cylindrical portion 24 of the processing tank 22 is removed from the opening 79 a of the duct 79 to remove the lid 25. Thereby, similarly to 1st Embodiment, when there is little water | moisture content which the bio-base material contained and it is a dry state, it is discharged | emitted from the discharge port 23 to the bag attached to the duct 79 naturally. In addition, when the bio-base material contains a large amount of water, it is not discharged naturally. Therefore, in this case, a hand or a scraping member is inserted from the discharge port 23 and discharged. At this time, as in the first embodiment, since the switch 16 constituting the safety device is in the OFF state, the stirring member 27 does not rotate.

  When the agitating member 27 is reversed and the bio-base material is forcibly discharged, as shown in FIG. 14, the cover 86 is attached to the duct 79 so that the switch 16 of the safety device is turned on by the pressing portion 89. (Step S14). Thereby, the microcomputer 74 reverses the stirring member 27.

  Then, as in the first embodiment, the bio-base material is moved outward with a strong pressure, and is automatically discharged into an external bag through the discharge port 23. In this state, since the opening 15 including the discharge port 23 is completely covered by the duct 79 and the cover 86, the user cannot insert a hand or the like into the processing tank 22 from the discharge port.

  Thereby, in the garbage processing machine of 2nd Embodiment, since a bio base material is directly discharged | emitted by the bag for disposal, the user can discard, since the effect | action and effect similar to 1st Embodiment can be acquired. Since the bio-base material can be disposed of in the form of a bag, not only is the dedicated container unnecessary, but there is no need to clean the dedicated container after discarding the base material. Moreover, since the bag for disposal is not a dedicated bag, the cost is not increased and the convenience of disposal can be further improved.
