Description

  The present invention relates to a bio-type garbage disposal machine mainly used at home.

  This kind of garbage processing machine ferments and decomposes garbage with a bio-base material carrying an aerobic bio-bacteria on the base material. Means are disposed, and heating means for heating the inside is disposed outside the processing tank. And while maintaining the inside of a processing tank in the predetermined temperature range by the said heating means, it processes by stirring the input garbage with a bio base material by the said stirring means.

  Prior art document information related to the garbage processing machine of the present invention includes the following.

JP 7-171545 A JP 2002-126703 A JP 2004-209375 A

  In Patent Document 1, since it can be determined that the garbage is not input unless the cover of the input port is opened and closed for 3 days, it is determined that the user is absent when the time elapses, and the heating means, the stirring means, etc. It is configured to execute the absence mode in which all are stopped.

  However, in the garbage processing machine of this patent document 1, since control is stopped only by detecting the opening / closing of the lid regardless of the moisture content of the bio-based material, for example, depending on the amount and type of garbage that is input last, the bio-based material Even if the moisture content of is high, there is a possibility of executing the absence mode. In this case, there is a problem that the bio base material is deteriorated.

  In order to solve this problem, Patent Document 2 is configured to execute an absence mode in which only the ventilation means is operated when the lid is not opened or closed for a predetermined period or more and the moisture content is equal to or lower than a predetermined value. . The absence mode is canceled by detecting the opening / closing of the lid.

  Moreover, in patent document 3, regardless of opening and closing of a lid, when the moisture content of a bio-base material falls below a preset threshold value or falls below a preset number of times threshold, a configuration for executing the absence mode It is said.

  However, in the garbage processing machine, sensor misdetection based on the deviation of the moisture content relative to the bio-base in the treatment tank ensures that the water content of the actual bio-base is below the threshold even if it is high. May be detected. For this reason, in the garbage disposal machines of Patent Documents 2 and 3, there is a possibility that the absence mode is executed even when the actual bio-base material has a high moisture content.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a garbage disposal machine equipped with a stirring suspension function that stops stirring operation in consideration of erroneous detection by a sensor.

  In order to solve the above problems, a garbage processing machine of the present invention is a treatment machine body having a treatment tank containing a bio-base material, and is attached to the treatment machine body so as to be openable and closable, and closes the inlet of the treatment tank. A lid body for stirring, agitation means for agitating the raw garbage and the bio-base material accommodated in the processing tank, a base material state detection means for detecting the state of the bio-base material, and opening or closing of the lid body In the garbage processing machine, comprising: a lid opening / closing detection means for detecting a state; and a control means for controlling the agitation means based on the opening / closing state of the lid detected by the lid opening / closing detection means. When the detection means does not detect the movement of the lid during the preset first setting time, the second stirring means stops the stirring means so as to differ based on the state of the bio-base material by the base-material state detection means. Configuration to set the set time It is.

  Here, the first set time is a period necessary for processing when an allowable amount of raw garbage which can be accommodated in the processing tank is charged. And in this invention, when the 1st setting time passes, in order to set the 2nd setting time until it stops operation | movement of a stirring means so that it may differ based on the state of a bio-base material, a base material state detection means is set. Even if the constituent sensor makes a false detection based on the deviation of moisture content relative to the bio-base in the treatment tank, it will surely complete the processing of garbage and stir only when the bio-base is in good condition. Can be paused.

  In this garbage disposal machine, it is preferable that the operation of the stirring unit is continued when the lid opening / closing detection unit detects the operation of the lid before the second set time elapses.

  Further, the control means is based on the detection value by the base material state detection means, the first state where the water content of the bio-base material is high, the second state where the water content is lower than the first state, and from the second state. When determining at least three states of the third state having a low water content and an appropriate amount, and when the state determination of the bio-substrate is the first state or the second state after the second set time has elapsed. It is preferable to continue the operation of the stirring means. In this way, stirring can be stopped more reliably only when the bio-base is in a good state.

  In the garbage processing machine of the present invention, the stirring stop function sets the second set time until the operation of the stirring means is stopped based on the state of the bio-base when the first set time elapses. Even if the sensor that constitutes the state detection means makes a false detection, it is possible to reliably complete the processing of garbage and stop the stirring only when the bio-base material is in a good state.

An example of the second set time based on the first set time and the state of the bio-substrate is shown below.

  As shown in Table 1 and FIGS. 7A, 7 </ b> B, 7 </ b> C, and 7 </ b> D, the first set time is a case where a permissible amount of raw garbage that can be stored in the treatment tank 21 is charged. This is a period required for processing, and in this embodiment, it is set to 2 days (24 hours).

  And when 1st setting time passes, temperature Ts, Tk, and Tg are detected by the temperature sensors 79-81, and the state of a bio base material is dry with a low moisture content based on the detected value (4th). When it is determined that the state is in a state, the second set time is set to one day (24 hours), and each component is suspended after the second set time elapses. In this case, the suspension function is executed when the lid 65 is not opened for a total of three days.

  Further, when the first set time has elapsed, the temperatures Ts, Tk, and Tg are detected by the temperature sensors 79 to 81, and the state of the bio-based material is based on the detected values, and the water content is good (first) 3) When it is determined that the state is in the state, the second set time is set to 2 days (48 hours), and each component is suspended after the second set time elapses. In this case, when the cover 65 is not opened for a total of four days, the pause function is executed.

  Further, when the first set time has elapsed, the temperatures Ts, Tk, Tg are detected by the temperature sensors 79 to 81, and the state of the bio-based material is higher than the good state with a new moisture content based on the detected values. When it is determined that the state is a conservative (second) state that means that the loading is suppressed, the second set time is set to 3 days (72 hours), and each part is suspended after the second set time elapses. Let In this case, when the lid 65 is not opened for a total of five days, the pause function is executed.

  Further, when the first set time has elapsed, the temperatures Ts, Tk, and Tg are detected by the temperature sensors 79 to 81, and based on the detected values, the state of the bio-base is newly higher than that of the seaweed state. When the second set time is determined to be 4 days (72 hours) when it is determined that the load is in a stop (second) state, which means that the input is stopped, each part is set after the second set time has elapsed. To pause. In this case, the suspension function is executed when the lid 65 is not opened for a total of 6 days.

  Next, the garbage disposal control process by the microcomputer 83 will be specifically described.

  In this garbage disposal control process, as shown in FIG. 8, the microcomputer 83 first detects whether or not the lid body 65 is opened via the switch 68 in step S1. If the opening of the lid 65 is detected, the process proceeds to step S2. If the opening of the lid 65 is not detected, the process proceeds to step S8.

  In step S2, after stopping all parts of the agitating member 26, the heater 49, the fans 59 and 60, and the deodorizing means 61, it is detected in step S3 that the lid body 65 is closed via the switch 68. Wait until When the closure of the lid 65 is detected, in step S4, 0 is input (reset) to an end flag fa that indicates whether to execute the pause function, and then in step S5, the first set time (2 days) ) Is input (reset) to a two-day passage flag fb which means whether or not.

  Next, in step S6, the 2-day measurement timer that is the first set time is reset and started, and then in step S7, the 2-hour timer that is the cycle for detecting the state of the bio-substrate processing function is reset. Start and go to step S8.

  In step S8, it is detected whether or not the 2-hour timer has counted up. If the timer has been counted up, the process proceeds to step S9. If the timer has not been counted up, the process proceeds to step S12.

  In step S9, 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 S10, the bio-base state determination process described later is executed. Next, in step S11, based on the determined bio-substrate processing function state, a bio-substrate adjustment completion determination process, which will be described later, is executed. Then, in step S12, the stirring means including the motor 27 and the stirring member 26 is updated. A bio-base material adjustment process including a control process and a control process of the heating means by the heater 49 is executed. The bio-base material adjustment process changes the stirring time of the stirring member 26 by the motor 27 and the heating time by the heater 49 based on the determined bio-functional processing function state.

  When the bio-base material adjustment process ends, it is detected in step S13 whether 1 is input to the end flag fa. When 1 is input to the end flag fa, that is, when it is determined to execute the pause function, the process proceeds to step S14, and when 1 is not input to fa, the process returns to step S1.

  In step S14, after performing the garbage disposal suspension process which pauses all the components of the stirring member 26, the heater 49, the fans 59 and 60, and the deodorizing means 61, it waits until the cover body 65 is opened in step S15. . When the lid 65 is opened, the process returns to step S3, and the bio-base material adjustment process by the stirring member 26 and the heater 49 is resumed, and the air-conditioning process by the fans 59 and 60 and the deodorizing means 61 is resumed.

  Next, the substrate state determination process in step S10 will be specifically described.

  In this base material state determination process, as shown in FIG. 9, the microcomputer 83 first detects the temperatures Ts, Tk, and Tg of each part by the temperature sensors 79 to 81 in step S10-1.

  Next, in step S10-2, it is detected whether or not the temperature difference obtained by subtracting the outside air temperature Tg by the outside air temperature sensor 81 from the substrate temperature Tk by the substrate temperature sensor 80 is higher than 4 ° C. If the temperature difference (Tk−Tg) is higher than 4 ° C., the process proceeds to step S10-3 to determine that the bio-base material is in a good state, and the display unit of the operation panel 86 is changed in step S10-9. After that, in step S10-10, the stirring time by the stirring member 26 is changed and the process returns. If the temperature difference (Tk−Tg) is 4 ° C. or less, the process proceeds to step S10-4.

  In step S10-4, it is detected whether or not the temperature difference obtained by subtracting the base material temperature Tk by the base material temperature sensor 80 from the in-tank temperature Ts by the processing tank temperature sensor 79 is 0 ° C. or less. If the temperature difference (Ts−Tk) is 0 ° C. or less, the process proceeds to step S10-5, where it is determined that the bio-base material is in a dry state, and steps S10-9 and 10 are executed as described above. And return. If the temperature difference (Ts−Tk) is higher than 0 ° C., the process proceeds to step S10-6.

  In step S10-6, it is detected whether or not the temperature difference obtained by subtracting the substrate temperature Tk by the substrate temperature sensor 80 from the in-tank temperature Ts by the processing tank temperature sensor 79 is higher than 1 ° C. If the temperature difference (Ts−Tk) is higher than 1 ° C., the process proceeds to step S10-7, where it is determined that the bio-base material is in a state of being raised (with a lot of water), and step S10-9 is performed as described above. , 10 and return. Further, when the temperature difference (Ts−Tk) is 1 ° C. or more, the process proceeds to step S10-8, where it is determined that the bio-base is in a state where charging is stopped (excessive water), and step S10-9 is performed as described above. , 10 and return.

  Next, the adjustment end determination process in step S11 will be specifically described.

  In this bio-substrate adjustment end determination process, as shown in FIG. 10, the microcomputer 83 first detects whether or not the two-day passage flag fb, which is the first set time, is 0 in step S11-1. To do. If fb is 0, the process proceeds to step S11-2. If fb is 1, the process proceeds to step S11-12.

  In step S11-2, it is detected whether or not the 2-day measurement timer has counted up. If the count is up, the process proceeds to step S11-3. If the count is not up, the process returns.

  In step S11-3, 1 is input to fb so as to indicate that the first setting time of 2 days has elapsed, and in step S11-4, the substrate state determined in step S10 is read.

  Next, in step S11-5, it is determined whether or not the substrate state determined at the time when two days have passed since the lid body 65 is continuously closed is a dry state. If it is in the dry state, the process proceeds to step S11-6, and the end timer, which is the second set time, is set to 1 day (24 hours) and the process returns. If not in a dry state, the process proceeds to step S11-7.

  In step S11-7, it is determined whether or not the base material state determined at the time when two days have passed since the lid body 65 is continuously closed is a good state. If it is in the good state, the process proceeds to step S11-8, the end timer that is the second set time is set to 2 days (48 hours), and the process returns. On the other hand, if the state is not good, the process proceeds to step S11-9.

  In step S11-9, it is determined whether or not the base material state determined at the time when two days have elapsed since the lid body 65 has been continuously closed is a concealment state. Then, if it is in the concealment state, the process proceeds to step S11-10, the end timer that is the second set time is set to 3 days (72 hours), and the process returns. On the other hand, if it is not in the concealment state, it is determined that it is in the input stop state, the process proceeds to step S11-11, the end timer that is the second set time is set to 4 days (96 hours), and the process returns.

  On the other hand, if the two-day elapsed flag fb is not 0 in step 11-1, that is, if the first set time has elapsed, in step S11-12, the time is measured by the built-in end timer, In S11-13, it is detected whether or not the set end timer time has been counted up. If the count is incremented, the process proceeds to step S11-14, and the immediately preceding bio-base material state judgment by executing step S10 is read.

  Next, in step S11-15, it is determined whether or not the bio-base material is in a good state after the second set time has elapsed. If it is in the good state, the process proceeds to step S11-17, and 1 is input to the end flag fa which means to execute the pause function, and the process returns. On the other hand, if it is not in a good state, the process proceeds to step S11-16, and it is determined whether or not the state of the bio-base material after the second set time has elapsed is a dry state. If it is in the dry state, the process proceeds to step S11-17, and 1 is input to the end flag fa which means that the pause function is executed, and the process returns. If it is not in the dry state, it is determined that the charging is stopped (first) state or in the second (second) state, and the end flag fa, which means that the pause function is executed, is not input but 1 is input as it is. Return. Thereby, the pause function is not executed until the bio-base material is determined to be dry or good, and the adjustment process is continued to be executed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the first set time set in advance elapses, the second set time until the adjustment processing and the air conditioning processing of the bio base material including the stirring member 26 are stopped is set to the state of the bio base material. Therefore, even if the sensors 79 to 81 constituting the base material state detecting means make a false detection based on the deviation of the moisture content relative to the bio base material in the processing tank 21, The treatment can be completed and paused only when the biosubstrate is in good condition. In addition, even if the second set time has elapsed, if the state of the bio-base material is determined to indicate a defective state such as a second (second) state or a discontinuation (first) state, Since the pause function is not executed until the material is in a good state, wasteful power consumption can be reduced while reliably maintaining the bio-base material in a stable state.

  In addition, the garbage processing machine of this invention is not limited to the structure of the said embodiment, A various change is possible.

  For example, in the embodiment, when the pause function is executed, both the base material adjusting unit including the stirring member 26 and the heater 49 and the air conditioning unit including the fans 59 and 60 and the deodorizing unit 61 are stopped. However, if at least the stirring member 26 is stopped, other parts may continue to operate as desired.
