  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a front view of a deodorizing apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of a deodorizing apparatus 7 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 3 shows an internal configuration of the deodorizing apparatus according to the present embodiment. It is a cross-sectional view.

  As shown in the figure, the article storage compartment 6 is located at the lower part of the counter 6a of the system kitchen and is a front open space defined by a cabinet 6b adjacent to both sides, a rear wall surface 6c and a floor surface 6d. The deodorizing device 7 of the present invention is placed on the lower surface of the counter 6a via a horizontal partition plate 6f. Under the partition plate 6f, two recycle bins can be drawn and moved as storage containers 8 of the storage unit. 9 is stored and arranged under the counter 6a.

  In front of the deodorizing device 7, an outside air inlet 10, an outlet 11, an operation switch 12, and a human body detecting means 13 are disposed, and both the outside air inlet 10 and the outlet 11 are opened forward, and the deodorizing device 7. At the rear side, an odor inlet 14 is disposed and opened toward the storage container 8 installed below.

  The storage detection means 15 for detecting that the wagon 9 is put in and out of the storage compartment 6 includes a magnetic switch 15a attached to the lower surface of the partition plate 6f toward the wagon 9 and the state where the wagon 9 is stored in the normal position. Thus, a magnet 15b is attached to the wagon 9 at a position facing and close to the magnetic switch 15a.

  In the deodorizing device 7, an outside air intake section 10 a communicating with the outside air intake 10, an odor intake section 14 a communicating with the odor intake opening 14, and an exhaust section 11 a communicating with the exhaust opening 11 are provided as a stepping motor 17 as the air path switching means 16. And the rotary valve body 18 are connected to each other in three opposite positions. The rotary valve body 18 selects the outside air intake section 10a and the odor intake section 14a with respect to the exhaust section 11a. Open and close freely.

  A deodorizing medium 19, a blower device 20 including a centrifugal fan and a motor are connected to the exhaust section 11 a in order from the downstream side of the air path switching means 16, and the exhaust port side 20 a of the blower device 20 communicates with the exhaust port 11. An air passage is formed.

  The operation switch 12, the air path switching means 16, the blower 20, the human body detection means 13 and the storage detection means 15 can be controlled by the electrically connected control means 21.

  About the deodorizing apparatus 7 comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.

  First, in the normal operation mode, when the operation switch 12 is operated, the control means 21 causes the air passage switching means 16 to be closed by the stepping motor 17 so that the outside air intake section 10a is closed. After the 18 rotates, it is localized at the position (a) shown in the figure, and the blower 20 starts operation in synchronization with this.

  The air containing odor generated from the storage container 8 is sucked from the odor intake port 14, passes through the odor intake section 14 a, and is arranged in the order of the air path switching means 16, the exhaust section 11 a, the deodorizing medium 19, and the blower 20. 11 is discharged to the outside of the deodorizing device 7. At this time, the air in the vicinity of the storage container passes through the deodorizing medium 19 so that the odor component is reduced and released into the room.

  After the above operation has been performed for a certain period of time, the control means 21 causes the air path switching means 16 to close the odor intake section 14a. ) Localize at the position.

  In this state, the operation of the blower 20 is continued, and fresh air introduced from the outside air inlet 10 passes through the air path switching means 16 and is supplied to the deodorizing medium 19 to activate the deodorizing medium 19, and The air blower 20 stops after operating for a certain period of time.

  After stopping for a certain period of time, the above operation is repeated again, and the blower 20 continues the intermittent operation at regular intervals.

  Here, when a person approaches the deodorizing apparatus 7 during any one of the operation modes described above, the control means 21 uses the signal detected that the infrared ray emitted from the human body detection means 13 is reflected by the human body, so that the control means 21 is the air path switching means. 16 is controlled so as to close the outside air intake section 10a, and the blower 20 is continuously operated for a certain period of time with a higher capacity than in the case of performing the above intermittent operation. As a result, the amount of odor air in the vicinity of the storage container 8 sucked from the odor intake port 14 is increased as compared with the normal intermittent operation, and the odor felt by the person taking in and out the garbage can be reduced.

  After the operation accompanied by the human body detection, the control means 21 automatically returns to normal intermittent operation again.

  In addition, when the human body detection means 13 continues without detecting a human body within a certain time, the control means 21 can be configured to set a longer intermittent interval for stopping the blower 20. Yes, for example, at night or when there is no work, since the work of taking out and taking out garbage is not performed, it is possible to add an effect of reducing the electricity bill or the operation sound, which is more preferable.

  Further, when the wagon 9 is pulled out to the front during operation and waste is put in or the storage container 8 is taken out from the wagon 9, the storage detection means 15 determines that the relative position of the magnetic switch 15a and the magnet 15b is within the detection range. Therefore, the control means 21 interrupts the normal operation mode, and the air passage switching means 16 forms an air passage that communicates the exhaust section 11a and the odor intake section 14a, and continuously operates the blower 20 with a high capacity. By doing this, the person who takes in and out the garbage can work without feeling odor. Furthermore, when the storage detection means 15 continues to detect the opened state for cleaning or maintenance of the storage container 8, the operation of the blower device 20 is stopped after a certain time, which is effective in saving electricity costs. .

  As described above, in this embodiment, by providing an operation mode of normal intermittent operation and an operation mode of continuous operation by human body detection or storage detection of the storage unit, no odor is felt during the operation of taking in and out garbage. In normal installation conditions, odors can be continuously prevented from diffusing into the room, and intermittent operation is performed in long-term normal installation conditions. It can be reduced and the durability of the blower can be extended.

  Further, since the activation of the odor medium is automatically performed, the ability of the deodorization medium can be maintained for a long time, and the labor for that can be saved.

  Moreover, since the deodorizing apparatus 7 of the present invention does not require a duct for exhausting outdoors, the deodorizing apparatus 7 can be installed anywhere in the room without being restricted by the installation location.

  In this embodiment, the operation by the outside air intake that activates the deodorizing medium is performed at each intermittent operation in the normal operation mode, but according to the performance and usage time of the deodorizing medium, the degree of odor, etc. The same effect can also be achieved by changing the number of times or performing the operation in the dedicated operation mode after a certain operation time has elapsed without performing the operation in the normal operation mode.

  In addition, as in the present embodiment, the deodorizing device 7 and the storage container 8 that is an odor generating source are not directly in mechanical contact, but are disposed apart from a predetermined space. By placing 7 in the immediate vicinity of the odor source, comfort can be secured without diffusing the odor into the room, and a deodorizing device is installed without being restricted by the size of the object to be stored. Therefore, convenience is high.
