JP 2003-62548 A

  In this Patent Document 1, a first exhaust passage having a deodorizing device disposed therein and a second exhaust passage having no deodorizing device disposed therein are provided to suppress the generation of odor, and to improve the stirring action and exhaust action. A garbage disposal machine is described.

  However, this type of garbage processing machine has a low ability to decompose garbage in a state where microorganisms are not sufficiently activated, such as after replacement or replenishment of processing materials. In this state, when the same amount of raw garbage as when the microorganisms are sufficiently activated is introduced, there is a problem that the microorganisms cannot be sufficiently decomposed. Further, when the garbage is not sufficiently decomposed in this way, the unpleasant odor generated from the garbage is filled inside the treatment tank, and when the exhaust means is operated, the odor is released to the outside. There's a problem.

  The present invention has been made in view of the conventional problems, and it is possible to accurately determine the state of the processing material after replacing or replenishing the processing material, and to reliably prevent the unpleasant odor from being scattered. The issue is to provide.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a first garbage processing machine according to the present invention includes a treatment tank that contains a treatment material that decomposes garbage, a detection means that detects the temperature or humidity of the treatment material, and a storage means. A processing material state determination unit that determines a state of the processing material from a detection result of the detection unit based on determination data stored in advance; and a control unit that controls a load component based on the determination result of the processing material state determination unit; And a second judgment data different from the first judgment data in the storage means, and provided with a treatment material input detection means for detecting whether or not the treatment material has been introduced into the treatment tank. Is stored in advance, and the processing material state determination means determines the state of the processing material based on the second determination data for the set time after the input detection by the processing material input detection means.

  Further, the second garbage processing machine is based on a processing tank for storing a processing material for decomposing the garbage, a detection means for detecting the temperature or humidity of the processing material, and judgment data stored in advance in the storage means. A garbage processing machine comprising: a processing material state determination unit that determines a state of a processing material from a detection result of the detection unit; and a control unit that controls a load component based on the determination result of the processing material state determination unit And a power source detecting means for detecting connection to the power source, and pre-stored second judgment data different from the first judgment data in the storage means, wherein the processing material state judgment means is provided by the power source detection means. The set time after connection detection is configured to determine the state of the processing material based on the second determination data.

  Here, the “loading part” of the garbage processing machine is a display means for displaying the state of the determined treatment material, an agitation means for stirring the garbage and the treatment material, and a heating means for heating the treatment material in the treatment tank. And exhaust means for exhausting the air in the treatment tank and deodorization means for removing odor generated in the treatment tank. The “load component” controlled by the control unit based on the determination result of the processing material state determination unit may be all the units or any one unit.

  Then, according to the first and second garbage processing machines, the set time after detecting the input of the processing material or after detecting the connection of the power source is based on the second determination data different from the first determination data. The state is determined. That is, after the processing material is replaced or replenished, or when the processing material is not sufficiently activated at the beginning of use of the garbage processing machine, the state of the processing material is determined based on the second determination data. Therefore, it is possible to accurately determine the state of the processing capacity of the processing material and control the load component based on the determination result. As a result, it is possible to promote activation of the treatment material and suppress odor scattering.

  Specifically, in these garbage processing machines, the state of the treatment material determined by the treatment material state determination means includes a first state in which the moisture content of the treatment material is low and the introduction of garbage is allowed, and A second state that has a high water content and suppresses the input of garbage, and the second determination data has a higher determination value than the first determination data so that the second state is more easily determined. .

  And as a said load component, it has a display means which displays the state of a processing material. In this way, since it is possible to suppress the input of excessive garbage in a state where the treatment material is not sufficiently activated, the activation of the treatment material can be promoted and the odor can be prevented from being scattered.

  In addition, the load component includes deodorizing means for deodorizing the odor in the treatment tank with the catalyst by heating the catalyst to a first preset temperature set in advance by the heating means, and the control means is configured so that the set time is It is preferable to heat the catalyst to a second set temperature higher than the first set temperature by the heating means until the time has elapsed. If it does in this way, it can prevent more reliably that the odor which generate | occur | produced in the processing tank is scattered outside.

  In the garbage processing machine of the present invention, the set time after detection of processing material input or after detection of power connection is determined based on second determination data different from the first determination data. It is possible to promote the activation of the treatment material and suppress the odor scattering after the treatment material is replaced or replenished, or at the beginning of use of the garbage disposal machine.

The second determination data including four different second determination values used when the determination is made in a state of not being stored is stored in advance. As a result, in the state where the use of the device is started or after the processing material is replaced or replenished periodically, the microorganisms of the processing material are not sufficiently activated, the second display unit 68 of “Cancel input” is displayed. The judgment value is set high so that it can be easily judged that the sticking state is lit. In addition, the period (henceforth "1st setting time") which judges the state of a processing material by the said 2nd judgment data is set to 336 hours (14 days) which the inventors etc. discovered by experiment. Incidentally, when the judgment result of the state of the processing material based on these judgment data is three, good, dry, and discreet, the operation panel 65 displays the first display unit 67, and the second display unit only in the case of stickiness. 68 is displayed.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 8A, during the first set time for determining the state of the treatment material based on the second determination data, the heating temperature of the catalyst 50 by the heater 48 of the deodorizing means (hereinafter “ "Second set temperature") is controlled in a high temperature mode set higher than the normal heating temperature (hereinafter referred to as "first set temperature") when determining the state of the treatment material based on the first determination data. . Similarly, the deodorizing means is configured to be controlled in the high temperature mode during the second set time after detecting the blockage of the lid 51, which means immediately after the introduction of raw garbage that tends to generate odor. As shown in FIG. 9, when the deodorizing means is controlled in the normal mode, the heater 48 is turned on when the detected temperature of the thermistor 49 is 260 ° C. or lower, and the heater 48 is turned off when the detected temperature is 265 ° C. or higher. To do. When the deodorizing means is controlled in the high temperature mode, the heater 48 is turned on when the detected temperature of the thermistor 49 is 295 ° C. or lower, and the heater 48 is turned off when the detected temperature is 300 ° C. or higher. In the present embodiment, the second set time for executing the high temperature mode is set to be the same as the cycle (2 hours) for determining the state of the treatment material by the temperature sensors 70 to 72.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8B, at the time of control in the high temperature mode, the drive motor 26 and the fans 46 and 47 of the exhaust means are stopped at the start of the control. The drive motor 26 and the fans 46 and 47 of the exhaust means maintain the operation stop state until the catalyst 50 of the deodorizing means rises to the second set temperature, and start the operation when the operation start condition is satisfied. It is configured as follows. As shown in FIG. 10, the control of the stirring member 25 by the drive motor 26 is such that when the treatment material is in a good state, the stirring member 25 is operated for 60 seconds in one cycle of 7 minutes, so that the moisture is maintained as it is. To control. Further, in the dry state, the stirring member 25 is operated for 48 seconds out of 7 minutes in one cycle, and control is performed so as to suppress moisture divergence. Further, in the case of a modest state, the stirring member 25 is operated for 72 seconds in one period of 7 minutes, and control is performed so as to promote the diffusion of moisture. In the sticky state, the stirring member 25 is operated for 72 seconds in one period of 7 minutes, and control is performed so as to promote the diffusion of moisture. The rotation speed of the stirring member 25 by the drive motor 26 is set to 1700 rpm for all rotations per minute. Further, the rotation speed of the first blower fan 46 constituting the exhaust means is 3800 rpm, the rotation speed of the second blower fan 47 is 2200 rpm, and is interlocked except in the open state of the lid 51 and the temperature rising standby state in the high temperature mode. And is always working.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, as shown in the example of FIG. 11, the second display is performed by detecting the sticky state after detecting the closure of the lid 51 which means that a new treatment material has been introduced. After displaying the part 68, once it is determined that the first display part 67 is displayed in a good, dry or unobtrusive state, it is not determined that it is a sticky state in the subsequent determination.

  Specifically, when the garbage is thrown in (when the lid 51 is closed) when the actual condition of the treatment material is good, the treatment material actually absorbs the moisture contained in the garbage. The state becomes sticky. Then, when the state of the processing material is determined after the lid 51 is closed and a predetermined time (2 hours), it is determined that it is in a sticky state in this first determination. As a result, the stirring member is controlled in the sticky determination operation time and the second display unit 68 is displayed on the operation panel 65. Similarly, in the second determination in the state where the actual stickiness state has not been eliminated, it is determined that the stickiness state has occurred, and the control of the stirring member is operated during the stickiness determination operation time. 2 The display unit 68 is displayed.

  Next, in the third determination when the state of the treatment material is slightly improved and the actual state is in the conservative range, the microcomputer 74 determines that the state is in the conservative state, and the control of the stirring member is a conservative determination operation. The operation panel 65 causes the first display unit 67 to be displayed. After that, in the fourth determination in the state where the actual state of the processing material has returned to the range of the sticky state for some reason, the first display unit 67 has already been determined to be displayed. Without judgment, it is judged that the water content is one level lower. Then, the control of the stirring member is operated with a modest determination operation time according to the determination result, and the first display unit 67 is displayed on the operation panel 65. In the subsequent fifth and sixth determinations, similarly, the sticky state is not determined, and control is performed based on the determination result of the processing material.

  Next, the control by the microcomputer 74 will be specifically described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. In these flowcharts and the following description, the flag Fa indicates whether or not the first set time has elapsed, “0” indicates that the time has not elapsed, and “1” indicates that the time has elapsed. means. The flag Fb indicates whether or not the second set time has elapsed. “0” means that the time has not passed, and “1” means that the time has passed. The flag Fc indicates whether or not a sticky state has been determined after the closure of the lid 51 is detected, where “0” indicates a state where it has not been determined and “1” indicates a state where it has been determined. The flag Fd indicates whether or not it has been determined to be good, dry, or conservative after determination of the sticky state, “0” means not determined, and “1” means determined. The flag Fe indicates whether or not the operation of the agitating member 25 and the fans 46 and 47 is permitted. “0” means a non-permitted state and “1” means a permitted state.

  Specifically, when the power is turned on, as shown in FIG. 12, the microcomputer 74 first resets and starts the time counting timer 76 in step S10, and then in step S11, the actual processing material is processed. Regardless of the state, the first display section 67 indicating permission of insertion is displayed on the operation panel 65. When the power is turned on, the flags Fa, Fb, Fc, Fd, and Fe are all “0”.

  Next, in step S12, it is detected whether or not the first set time has elapsed (counted up). If the first set time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S13. If the first set time has not elapsed, the process proceeds to step S15.

  In step S13, 1 is input to the flag Fa to indicate that the first set time has elapsed, and in step S14, the time counting timer 76 is stopped and the process proceeds to step S15.

  In step S15, a garbage disposal control process described later is executed, and the process proceeds to step S16. In step S16, it is detected whether 1 is input to the flag Fa. If Fa is 1, the process proceeds to step S17. If Fa is not 1 (Fa = 0), the process returns to step S12.

  In step S17, it is detected whether or not an exchange operation including replenishment of the processing material has been performed by the switch of the filter cleaning display unit 69. If an exchange operation is detected, the process proceeds to step S18, where 0 is input to the flag Fa, and the process returns to step S10. On the other hand, if the exchange operation is not detected, the process returns to step S15.

  Next, the garbage processing control process of step S15 will be specifically described.

  In this garbage disposal control process, as shown in FIG. 13, the microcomputer 74 first detects whether or not the lid 51 has been opened via the switch 54 in step S20. If the opening of the lid 51 is detected, the process proceeds to step S21. If the opening of the lid 51 is not detected, the process proceeds to step S26.

  In step S21, after the stirring member is stopped, the fans 46 and 47 of the exhaust means are stopped in step S22. In step S23, the process waits until it is detected that the lid 51 is closed via the switch 54. When the closure of the lid 51 is detected, in step S24, the 2-hour timer that is the cycle for detecting the state of the processing function of the processing material is reset and started, and then in steps S25, the flags Fb, Fc, Fd , Fe is input with 0, and the process proceeds to step S26.

  In step S26, 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 S27. If the timer has not been counted up, the process proceeds to step S30.

  In step S27, 1 is input to Fb to indicate that the second set time that is the same as the processing material state determination cycle by the temperature sensors 70 to 72 has elapsed, and then in step S28, the processing material state is next. In order to judge, the timer is reset for 2 hours and started. In step S29, a processing material state determination process for determining the state of the processing material is executed, and the process proceeds to step S30.

  In step S30, a deodorizing process by the heater 48, a control process for the stirring means comprising the drive motor 26 and the stirring member, an exhaust means control process by the fans 46 and 47, a processing material adjustment process comprising the heating means control process by the heater 41, and Then, the display unit changing process of the operation panel 65 is executed, and the process returns. In addition, since the heating means control process changes the heating time by the heater 41 based on the determination result of a processing material like the past, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted. Further, the display unit changing process displays the first display unit 67 or the second display unit 68 based on the determination result of the processing material.

  Next, the processing material state determination processing in step 29 will be specifically described.

  In this processing material state determination processing, as shown in FIG. 14, first, in step S <b> 40, the microcomputer 74 uses the temperature sensors 70 to 72 to control the temperature Ts in the processing tank 20, the processing material temperature Tk, and the outside air temperature. Tg is detected.

  Next, in step S41, it is detected whether or not a flag Fa indicating whether or not the first set time has elapsed is 1. If Fa is 1 (the first set time has elapsed), the process proceeds to step S42, the first determination process is executed, and the process returns. On the other hand, if Fa is not 1 (the first set time has not elapsed), the process proceeds to step S43, the second determination process is executed, and the process returns.

  In the first determination process after the elapse of the first set time, as shown in FIG. 15, the microcomputer 74 firstly processes the processing tank temperature sensor 70 from the processing material temperature Tk by the processing material temperature sensor 71 in step S42-1. It is detected whether or not the temperature difference obtained by subtracting the in-tank temperature Ts is 5 ° C. or more. When the temperature difference (Tk−Ts) is 5 ° C. or more, the process proceeds to step S42-2, and the process material is determined to be in a good state, and the process proceeds to step S42-3. If the temperature difference (Tk−Ts) is lower than 5 ° C., the process proceeds to step S42-5.

  In step S42-3, it is detected whether or not 1 is input to a flag Fc indicating whether or not the sticky state is determined after the lid 51 is closed. If Fc is 1 (the sticky state is detected), the process proceeds to step S42-4, and 1 is set in the flag Fd to indicate that the sticky state has been determined to be good, dry or conservative. Enter and return. On the other hand, if Fc is not 1 (no sticky state is detected), the process directly returns.

  In step S42-5, it is detected whether the temperature difference obtained by subtracting the tank temperature Ts by the processing tank temperature sensor 70 from the processing material temperature Tk by the processing material temperature sensor 71 is 3 ° C. or more. When the temperature difference (Tk−Ts) is 3 ° C. or more, the process proceeds to step S42-6, and it is determined that the treatment material is in a dry state, and the process proceeds to step S42-3 similar to the above. If the temperature difference (Tk−Ts) is lower than 3 ° C., the process proceeds to step S42-7.

  In step S42-7, it is detected whether or not the temperature difference obtained by subtracting the tank temperature Ts by the processing tank temperature sensor 70 from the processing material temperature Tk by the processing material temperature sensor 71 is 0 ° C. or more. When the temperature difference (Tk−Ts) is 0 ° C. or more, the process proceeds to step S42-8, and it is determined that the processing material is in a conservative state, and the process proceeds to step S42-3 similar to the above. If the temperature difference (Tk−Ts) is lower than 0 ° C., the process proceeds to step S42-9.

  In step S42-9, it is detected whether or not the flag Fd is zero. If Fd is 0 (it has not been determined that the state other than the sticky state has been determined after the sticky state has been determined), the process proceeds to step S42-10. After determining that the processing material is in the sticky state, the lid is closed in step S42-11. In order to indicate that it has been determined that the body 51 has become sticky after the body 51 is closed, 1 is input to the flag Fc and the process returns. On the other hand, if Fd is not 0 (it is determined that the state other than the sticky state is determined after the sticky state is determined), the process proceeds to step S42-8 as described above.

  Further, in the second determination process before the first set time elapses, as shown in FIG. 16, first, in step S43-1, the microcomputer 74 determines the processing bath temperature from the processing material temperature Tk by the processing material temperature sensor 71. It is detected whether the temperature difference obtained by subtracting the tank temperature Ts by the sensor 70 is 8 ° C. or more. When the temperature difference (Tk−Ts) is 8 ° C. or more, the process proceeds to step S43-2, and it is determined that the processing material is in a good state and the process returns. If the temperature difference (Tk−Ts) is lower than 8 ° C., the process proceeds to step S43-3.

  In step S43-3, it is detected whether or not the temperature difference obtained by subtracting the tank temperature Ts by the processing tank temperature sensor 70 from the processing material temperature Tk by the processing material temperature sensor 71 is 6 ° C. or more. When the temperature difference (Tk−Ts) is 6 ° C. or more, the process proceeds to step S43-4, and it is determined that the processing material is in a dry state, and the process returns. If the temperature difference (Tk−Ts) is lower than 6 ° C., the process proceeds to step S43-5.

  In step S43-5, it is detected whether or not the temperature difference obtained by subtracting the tank temperature Ts by the processing tank temperature sensor 70 from the processing material temperature Tk by the processing material temperature sensor 71 is 5 ° C. or more. When the temperature difference (Tk−Ts) is 5 ° C. or more, the process proceeds to step S43-6, and it is determined that the processing material is in a conservative state, and the process returns. On the other hand, if the temperature difference (Tk−Ts) is lower than 5 ° C., the process proceeds to step S43-7, and it is determined that the processing material is in a sticky state, and the process returns.

  Next, the deodorizing process by the microcomputer 74 will be specifically described. Note that this deodorization process continues to be executed without stopping in either the high-temperature mode or the normal mode in the connected state to the power source.

  Specifically, in this deodorization process, as shown in FIG. 17, the microcomputer 74 first determines whether or not the flag Fa indicating whether or not the first set time has elapsed is 0 in step S50. To detect. If Fa is not 0 (the first set time has not elapsed), the process proceeds to step S51. If Fa is 0 (the first set time has elapsed), the process proceeds to step S52.

  In step S51, it is detected whether or not a flag Fb indicating whether or not the second set time has elapsed is 1. If Fb is not 1 (second set time has not elapsed), the process proceeds to step S52. If Fb is 1 (second set time has elapsed), the process proceeds to step S53.

  If the first set time has not elapsed, or if the first set time has elapsed but the second set time has not elapsed, the deodorization control in the high temperature mode is executed and returned in step S52. To do. On the other hand, if both the first set time and the second set time have elapsed, in step S53, the deodorization control in the normal mode is executed and the process returns.

  In the deodorization control in the high temperature mode in step S52, the microcomputer 74 first detects whether or not the temperature of the catalyst 50 is 295 ° C. or less via the thermistor 49 in step S52-1, as shown in FIG. To do. If the temperature is 295 ° C. or lower, the process proceeds to step S52-2, the heater is turned on (operated), and the process proceeds to step S52-4. On the other hand, when the temperature is higher than 295 ° C., the process proceeds to step S52-3, and since the second set temperature of the high temperature mode has been reached, operation of the drive motor 26 of the stirring means and the fans 46 and 47 of the exhaust means is permitted. 1 is input to the flag Fe and the process proceeds to step S52-4.

  In step S52-4, it is detected whether the temperature of the catalyst 50 is 300 ° C. or higher via the thermistor 49. And when it is 300 degreeC or more, it progresses to step S52-5, the heater 48 is turned off (stop), and it returns. On the other hand, when it is lower than 300 ° C., the process returns as it is.

  In the deodorization control in the normal mode in step S53, the microcomputer 74 first permits the operation of the drive motor 26 of the stirring means and the fans 46 and 47 of the exhaust means in step S53-1, as shown in FIG. 1 is input to the flag Fe, and the process proceeds to Step S53-2.

  In step S53-2, it is detected whether the temperature of the catalyst 50 is 260 ° C. or less via the thermistor 49. When the temperature is 260 ° C. or lower, the process proceeds to step S53-3, the heater 48 is turned on (operated), and the process proceeds to step S53-4. On the other hand, if the temperature is higher than 260 ° C., the process proceeds to step S53-4 as it is.

  In step S53-4, it is detected whether the temperature of the catalyst 50 is 265 ° C. or higher via the thermistor 49. When the temperature is 265 ° C. or higher, the process proceeds to step S53-5, the heater 48 is turned off (stopped), and the process returns. On the other hand, when it is lower than 265 ° C., the process returns as it is.

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

  In this stirring means control process, as shown in FIG. 20, the microcomputer 74 first detects whether or not 1 is input to the flag Fe indicating whether or not the operation of the stirring member 25 is allowed in step S60. To do. If Fe is not 1 (the operation is not permitted), the process proceeds to step S61, and the timer for measuring the period for operating the stirring member 25 is returned as a reset. On the other hand, if Fe is 1 (operation is permitted), the process proceeds to step S62.

  In step S62, it is detected whether or not one period has elapsed due to the measurement by the period measurement timer. If one cycle has not elapsed, the process returns as it is, and if one cycle has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S63. When the operation of the agitating member 25 is permitted and this step S62 is first reached, since the cycle measurement timer is in a reset state, it is determined that one cycle has elapsed, and the process proceeds to step S63. Become.

  In step S63, the period measurement timer is reset and started, and then in step S64, the operation time of the stirring member 25 based on the state of the processing material is read. In step S65, the drive process of the stirring member 25 is executed via the drive motor 26, and the process returns.

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

  In this exhaust means control process, as shown in FIG. 21, the microcomputer 74 first determines whether or not 1 is input to the flag Fe indicating whether or not the operation of the fans 46 and 47 is permitted in step S70. To detect. If Fe is 1 (operation is permitted), the process proceeds to step S71, the fans 46 and 47 are turned on (operated), and the process returns. On the other hand, if Fe is not 1 (operation is not permitted), the process proceeds to step S72, where the fans 46 and 47 are turned off (stopped) and the process returns.

  As described above, in the garbage processing machine according to the present embodiment, the first set time after the detection of the processing material input or after the detection of the connection of the power source is different from the normal first determination data, and is a sticky state meaning that the input is stopped. It is set as the structure which judges the state of a processing material based on the 2nd judgment data which is easy to judge. Therefore, after the replacement or replenishment of such treatment materials, or at the beginning of using the garbage disposal machine, the processing capacity of the treatment materials in a state where the treatment materials are not sufficiently activated is accurately determined. The load component can be controlled based on the determination result.

  Specifically, since the second display unit 68 which means “cancel input” is displayed on the operation panel 65, it is possible to suppress the input of excessive garbage when the processing material is not sufficiently activated. Promotion of activation and prevention of odor scattering. In addition, since the deodorizing means is operated in the high temperature mode until the first set time elapses, an unpleasant odor of the garbage can be efficiently removed, and the odor can be prevented from being scattered around the device.

  In addition, after the microorganisms of the treatment material are sufficiently activated (after the first set time has elapsed), the state where the odor of the garbage is likely to be scattered is that the garbage is on the treatment material. This is a time period from immediately after that until the garbage and the processing material are stirred almost uniformly by stirring. Therefore, in this embodiment, since the deodorizing means is operated in the high temperature mode in the second set time after detecting the blockage of the lid 51 that means the introduction of the garbage, the unpleasantness of the garbage is also caused in this situation. Odor can be efficiently removed, and the odor can be prevented from scattering around the device.

  In addition, when the deodorizing means is operated in the high temperature mode, the stirring member 25 of the stirring means and the fans 46 and 47 of the exhaust means are not operated until the temperature of the catalyst 50 is raised to the high second set temperature. The operation is started after the operation condition is satisfied. Therefore, since the odor removal efficiency by the deodorizing means can be increased at the start of these operations, odor scattering can be reliably suppressed.

  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 above embodiment, when the deodorizing means is controlled in the high temperature mode, the operating conditions of the stirring member 25 of the stirring means and the fans 46 and 47 of the exhaust means are the temperatures of the catalyst 50, but as shown in FIG. , Time is good. In this case, the third set time for starting the operation of the stirring member 25 and the fourth set time for operating the fans 46 and 47 may be different. Of course, the operating conditions may be a combination of a preset temperature and time of the catalyst 50.

  In addition, the first set time, the second set time, the first set temperature, and the second set temperature in the embodiment can be changed as desired. In particular, in the said embodiment, although 2nd setting time was made the same with the period which detects the state of a processing material, it is good also as a different time setting.

  Further, as the input detection means for detecting the input of raw garbage, a switch 54 for detecting the open / closed state of the lid 51 that closes the input port 14a of the processing tank 20 is applied, but an optical sensor is provided in the vicinity of the input port 14a. May be provided to directly detect the state of garbage input. Furthermore, as the input detection means for detecting the input of the processing material, a switch of the filter cleaning display unit 69 that also serves as a reset switch is applied. It is good. However, in this case, in order to distinguish between input of garbage and processing material, in the case of processing material, it is preferable to combine with operation of other switches.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment, the state of the moisture content (humidity) of the processing material is detected based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensors 70 to 72 and the state of the processing function is determined by the microcomputer 74, but directly by the humidity sensor. Alternatively, the humidity may be detected.
