  A control board (not shown) is disposed between the exterior body 11 and the processing tank 27, and the microcomputer 65, which is a control means mounted on the control board, is operated according to a preset program. Specifically, the microcomputer 65 operates by converting electric power from a commercial power source into a DC voltage by the power supply circuit unit 66 and applying the DC voltage.

  The main control of the microcomputer 65 is to act as a lid opening means, and when the distance measuring sensor 61 detects that an object including a human body is close to a detectable range, the solenoid 26 is operated. The lid 19 is automatically opened by the biasing force of the hinge spring 20 by releasing the locking of the locking receiving portion 23 by the locking member 25.

  Further, when the switch 22 detects the closure of the lid 19 that means the introduction of garbage, the processing tank 27 is rotated 180 degrees with the closed time as the starting point of control, and the built-in time timer 67 The measurement is started, and the control of the rotation of the stirring member 45, the ON / OFF control of the heaters 59 and 60, and the control of the exhaust fan 40 are started.

  Furthermore, the processing material which detects temperature by the temperature sensors 63, 64A and 64B every predetermined time, calculates the moisture content of the processing material based on the detected value, and judges the state of the processing function based on the moisture content and temperature. It plays the role of state judgment means. Then, based on the determination result, the number of rotations of the agitating member 45 is controlled, and the heaters 59 and 60 are turned on and off. In addition, the fan 40 of the exhaust unit is controlled to be turned on and off, and a display unit (not shown) provided on the operation panel 68 is turned on to display the state of the processing material.

  The control of the stirring member 45 based on the determination result is performed such that after the stirring member 45 is operated for a preset operation time, a preset stop time and a period for stopping the stirring member 45 are repeated. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6A, one cycle is set to 7 minutes, and the operation time is 60 seconds when the processing material is in a good state, and when the processing material is in a dry state. It is set to operate for 48 seconds, and to operate for 72 seconds in a modest state and excessive water state.

  Further, the heaters 59 and 60 are controlled based on the determination result, similarly to the stirring member 45, after the heater 59 or the heater 60 is turned on, the heater 59 or 60 is turned on after the heater 59 or the heater 60 is turned on. Control to repeat the cycle to turn off. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6B, one cycle is 30 minutes, and the operation time is 10 minutes when the processing material is in a good state, and when the processing material is in a dry state. It is set to operate for 5 minutes, and to operate for 20 minutes when it is in a conservative state and excessive water state. However, the heating amount by the heaters 59 and 60 may be changed instead of the time.

  Next, the garbage disposal control process by the microcomputer 65 will be specifically described.

  In this garbage disposal control process, as shown in FIG. 7, the microcomputer 65 first determines whether or not a request for opening the lid 19 is detected via the distance measuring sensor 61 in step S1. If an opening request is detected, the process proceeds to step S2. If an opening request is not detected, the process proceeds to step S9. When the automatic opening mechanism of the lid body 19 by the distance measuring sensor 61 and the lock unit 24 is not mounted, the opening of the lid body 19 is detected by the switch 22.

  In step S2, after stopping driving parts such as the agitating member 45, the heaters 59 and 60, and the exhaust fan 40, the solenoid 26 is operated to open the lid 19 in step S3. Next, in step S4, the process waits until it is detected that the lid body 19 is closed via the switch 22, and when the closure of the lid body 19 is detected, in step S5, the motor 29 is operated to move the processing tank 27 to 180 degrees. Rotate degrees. Thereby, when the processing tank 27 is in the state shown in FIG. 1, the state is as shown in FIG. 2, and when it is in the state shown in FIG. 2, the state is shown in FIG.

  Next, in step S6, it is detected whether or not the flag f indicating the positional relationship between the upper and lower sides of the processing tank 27 is 1. If f is 1, the process proceeds to step S7, and 0 (the motor fixing surface 27c shown in FIG. 1 is in the upper side state) is input to f, and the process proceeds to step S9. If f is not 1, the process proceeds to step S8, 1 is input to f (the motor fixing surface 27c shown in FIG. 2 is in the lower state), and the process proceeds to step S9.

  In step S9, a 2-hour timer that is a cycle for detecting the state of the processing function of the processing material is reset and started, and then in step S10, it is detected whether the 2-hour timer has been counted up. If the count is up, the process proceeds to step S11. If the count is not up, the process proceeds to step S13.

  In step S11, the timer is reset and started for 2 hours in order to detect the state of the processing function of the processing material, and then in step S12, the three temperature sensors 63, 64A, which are substrate state detection means, are used. The temperature of the outside air, the temperature in the processing tank 27 and the temperature of the processing material are detected by 64B, the state of the processing material is determined based on the detected value, and the process proceeds to step S13.

  In step S13, the stirring means control process including the drive motor 43 and the stirring member 45, the heating means control process using the heaters 59 and 60, the exhaust means control process using the exhaust fan 40, and the state of the processing material by the display unit of the operation panel 68 are displayed. The bio-base material adjustment process including the display means changing process for displaying “” is executed, and the process returns to step S1.

  Next, the stirring member control process by the microcomputer 65 will be specifically described.

  In this stirring member control process, as shown in FIG. 8, the microcomputer 65 detects whether one cycle has elapsed or not with a built-in timer in step S20. If one period has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S21. If one period has not elapsed, the process proceeds to step S27. Here, in the case immediately after the lid 19 is closed, the timer for measuring the cycle is reset, and thus the process proceeds to step S21.

  In step S21, an initial operating condition immediately after the lid 19 is closed or an operating condition that is changed based on a change in the state of the processing material is read. In step S22, the timer for measuring the period is reset and started. Thereafter, in step S23, the operation time measurement timer is reset and started.

  Next, in step S24, it is detected whether or not the flag f indicating the vertical position state of the processing tank 27 is zero. If f is 0 (the motor fixing surface 27c shown in FIG. 1 is at the upper position), the process proceeds to step S25, where energization is started by the drive motor 43 to rotate the stirring member 45 in the forward rotation direction. Proceed to S27. If f is not 0 (the motor fixing surface 27c shown in FIG. 2 is in the lower state), the process proceeds to step S26, and energization is started by the drive motor 43 so as to rotate the stirring member 45 in the reverse rotation direction. Proceed to Here, in a state where the processing tank 27 is rotated in the normal rotation direction or the reverse rotation direction by the drive motor 43, both are counterclockwise when viewed in plan.

  In step S27, it is detected whether or not the operation time has elapsed by the timer being measured. When the operation time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S28, and after stopping the operation time measurement timer, the stirring member 45 is stopped by returning to the drive motor 43 in step S29, and the process returns. If the operation time has not elapsed, the process returns.

  Note that the heating means control process by the microcomputer 65 differs from the stirring means control process shown in FIG. When f is 0 (the motor fixing surface 27c shown in FIG. 1 is at the upper position), the first heater 59 is energized to heat the treatment material through the bearing surface 27d, while f is not 0 ( When the motor fixing surface 27c shown in FIG. 2 is in the lower side state, the second heater 60 is energized to heat the treatment material via the motor fixing surface 27c.

  Thus, in the garbage processing machine of this embodiment, since the processing tank 27 disposed in the processing machine main body 10 is rotatably provided by the tank rotating means, the raw food input by the user from the upper inlet 15 is provided. Although the dust is placed on the treatment material in the treatment tank 27, it can be immediately buried in the bottom of the treatment material by rotation. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent an unpleasant odor emanating from the garbage from being released outside the apparatus. Moreover, it is not necessary to mount expensive deodorizing means, and the cost can be reduced.

  Further, the agitating member 45 is agitated so as to always push up the processing material and the garbage regardless of the vertical relationship by rotating the driving motor 43 as the driving means forward or backward. Therefore, the garbage buried in the bottom of the processing tank 27 is sufficiently stirred up with the processing material by being pushed upward. As a result, the garbage decomposition efficiency can be improved.

  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-described embodiment, the stirring member 45 is a vertical type in which the shaft 46 is arranged so as to extend in the vertical (vertical) direction, but may be a horizontal type that extends in the horizontal (horizontal) direction. Good. Moreover, the stirring member 45 is not necessarily provided, and the processing material and the garbage can be stirred by rotating the processing tank 27 having a plurality of ribs protruding from the inner peripheral edge of the polygonal or cylindrical drum. Good.

  Further, the input openings 32 communicating with the input port 15 are not limited to the upper and lower two locations, and may be provided in three or more locations, or only one location. When only one charging opening 32 is provided, the lid 19 is configured to be automatically opened as in the above-described embodiment, and when the user's opening request is detected, the processing tank is rotated to rotate the charging opening 32 and the charging opening 32. When the opening 15 is communicated and the closure of the lid 19 is detected, the processing tank 27 is rotated again so that the garbage is positioned at the bottom of the processing tank 27. Moreover, the opening / closing means of the opening for opening is not limited to the opening / closing member 35, and may be an electric lid, and various modifications are possible.

  Furthermore, the tank rotating means is not limited to the structure in which both the front and rear of the processing tank 27 are rotatably supported by the rotation shaft 28, and may be configured to support only one or support at least one of the left and right. It is good also as a structure. Further, the outer shape of the processing tank 27 may be circular and rotated by a gear, and any configuration can be applied as long as the processing tank 27 is rotated in the horizontal direction so as to change the vertical positional relationship of the processing tank 27.
