Description

本発明は、主に家庭で発生する生ごみを乾燥させ、減量及び減容させる生ごみ乾燥処理装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a garbage drying processing apparatus for drying, reducing and reducing the volume of garbage generated mainly at home.

従来、この種の生ごみ乾燥処理装置は生ごみを減量、減容している(例えば、特許文献1参照)。図3はこの特許文献1に記載された従来の生ごみ乾燥処理装置を示すものである。   Conventionally, this kind of garbage drying processing apparatus is reducing and reducing the volume of garbage (for example, refer patent document 1). FIG. 3 shows a conventional garbage drying processing apparatus described in Patent Document 1. In FIG.

この生ごみ乾燥処理装置は、破砕生ごみを乾燥する攪拌装置1を内蔵した生ごみ処理部2と、冷却用送風手段3により空冷される凝縮部4と、凝縮部4で凝縮された水を排水する排水管5と、生ごみ処理部2、凝縮部4、送風手段6、凝縮部4からの空気を加熱する加熱手段7、触媒により空気を脱臭する触媒脱臭部8とを循環状に連通した送風循環通路9とからなる。   This garbage drying processing apparatus includes a garbage processing unit 2 including a stirring device 1 that dries crushed garbage, a condensing unit 4 that is air-cooled by cooling air blowing means 3, and water condensed in the condensing unit 4. The drainage pipe 5 for draining, the garbage processing unit 2, the condensing unit 4, the air blowing unit 6, the heating unit 7 for heating the air from the condensing unit 4, and the catalyst deodorizing unit 8 for deodorizing the air by the catalyst are communicated in a circulating manner. The air circulation passage 9 is made up of.

まず、生ごみ処理部2に生ごみが投入されると、送風手段6が送風循環通路9を介して生ごみ処理部2と凝縮部4とを循環する空気の流れを形成する。そして、加熱手段7により加熱され、触媒脱臭部8により脱臭された空気は昇温(例えば130〜150℃)した後に、生ごみ処理部2に流入して生ごみを速やかに乾燥する。続いて、生ごみ処理部2で発生した蒸気を含んだ空気は流出側の送風循環通路9Aを通り凝縮部4に引き込まれ、冷却用送風手段3により空冷された凝縮部4で凝縮する。そして、凝縮水は排水管5から排水される。次に、空気は流入側の送風循環通路9Bに流入して、空気が循環する。
特開平5−96271号公報
First, when garbage is input into the garbage processing unit 2, the air blowing means 6 forms an air flow that circulates between the garbage processing unit 2 and the condensing unit 4 via the air circulation passage 9. The air heated by the heating means 7 and deodorized by the catalyst deodorizing unit 8 is heated (for example, 130 to 150 ° C.) and then flows into the garbage processing unit 2 to quickly dry the garbage. Subsequently, the air containing the steam generated in the garbage processing unit 2 is drawn into the condensing unit 4 through the air circulation passage 9A on the outflow side, and condensed in the condensing unit 4 that is air-cooled by the cooling air blowing means 3. Then, the condensed water is drained from the drain pipe 5. Next, the air flows into the inflow side air circulation passage 9B, and the air circulates.
JP-A-5-96271

しかしながら、上記従来の構成では、外気を利用する冷却用送風手段3による空冷は、凝縮部4内面の温度低下が小さく、当然空気の温度低下も小さい。この結果、空気の飽和蒸気圧は十分に下げられないので、凝縮部4の凝縮能力が低いという課題を有していた。   However, in the above-described conventional configuration, the air cooling by the cooling air blowing means 3 using the outside air has a small temperature drop on the inner surface of the condensing unit 4 and naturally the air temperature drop is also small. As a result, since the saturated vapor pressure of air cannot be lowered sufficiently, there is a problem that the condensing capacity of the condensing unit 4 is low.

すなわち、生ごみ処理部2で大量に発生した蒸気が凝縮部4で凝縮しきれない場合、凝縮できなかった蒸気が再び生ごみ処理部2に戻るので、生ごみの乾燥に非常に時間を要し実用化に難があるものであった。   That is, when the steam generated in a large amount in the garbage processing unit 2 cannot be condensed in the condensing unit 4, the steam that could not be condensed returns to the garbage processing unit 2 again, so that it takes a very long time to dry the garbage. However, it was difficult to put into practical use.

また、生ごみから発生した蒸気には臭気成分が含まれるので、触媒脱臭部8は不可欠であり、触媒脱臭部8の触媒(例えば白金パラジウムなど)を活性化するために加熱手段7により触媒を400℃以上にする必要がある。この副作用として、断熱構成(図示せず)が必要である。すなわち、加熱手段7、触媒脱臭部8、断熱構成がコスト高の要因になるという課題を有していた。   Further, since the odor component is contained in the steam generated from the garbage, the catalyst deodorizing unit 8 is indispensable. In order to activate the catalyst of the catalyst deodorizing unit 8 (for example, platinum palladium), the catalyst is heated by the heating means 7. It is necessary to set it to 400 ° C or higher. As a side effect, a heat insulating configuration (not shown) is required. That is, the heating means 7, the catalyst deodorization part 8, and the heat insulation structure had the subject that cost became a factor.

また、加熱手段7により加熱され昇温した空気は高温になることは避けられず、生ごみを乾燥する際に生ごみが熱分解して臭気成分が大量に発生するという課題を有していた。   In addition, it is inevitable that the air heated by the heating means 7 and raised in temperature has a problem that when the garbage is dried, the garbage is thermally decomposed to generate a large amount of odor components. .

すなわち、触媒脱臭部8が脱臭性能を発揮することは、逆に臭気成分が増加するという悪循環になっているものであった。   In other words, the catalyst deodorizing unit 8 exhibiting the deodorizing performance has a vicious cycle in which the odor component increases.

また、凝縮部4で凝縮水は臭気成分であるトリメチルアミンなどが溶けるが、凝縮水の量が少ないので、臭気成分を取り除くには不十分である。また、生ごみにはイオウや窒素が含まれているので、凝縮部4での凝縮水は酸性であり、凝縮部4や排水管5を腐食するという課題を有していた。   Moreover, although condensed water, such as trimethylamine, which is an odor component dissolves in the condensing unit 4, the amount of the condensed water is small, which is insufficient to remove the odor component. Moreover, since garbage and sulfur are contained in garbage, the condensed water in the condensation part 4 is acidic, and had the subject of corroding the condensation part 4 and the drain pipe 5.

本発明は上記課題を解決するもので、凝縮部の凝縮能力向上及び装置の簡素化を図った生ごみ乾燥処理装置を提供することを目的とする。   This invention solves the said subject, and it aims at providing the garbage drying processing apparatus which aimed at the condensation capability improvement of the condensation part, and simplification of an apparatus.

上記従来の課題を解決するために、加熱手段を備え生ごみを乾燥する生ごみ処理部と、前記生ごみ処理部に発生する蒸気を、貯留した液体で凝縮する凝縮部と、前記凝縮部に連通し前記液体を供給する給水管と、前記凝縮部に連通し貯留した液体を排出する排水管と、前記生ごみ処理部と前記凝縮部と送風手段とを循環状に連通した送風循環通路とを備え、前記送風循環通路における前記生ごみ処理部からの流出側の通路と前記生ごみ処理部への流入側の通路を共に前記凝縮部の上部空間に臨ませ、前記凝縮部と前記生ごみ処理部内の空気とを熱交換する構成とした。   In order to solve the above-described conventional problems, a garbage processing unit that includes heating means to dry garbage, a condensing unit that condenses steam generated in the garbage processing unit with stored liquid, and a condensing unit A water supply pipe for supplying the liquid, a drain pipe for discharging the liquid communicated and stored in the condensing unit, a ventilation circulation passage for circulating the garbage processing unit, the condensing unit and the blowing means in a circulating manner; Both the outlet side passage from the garbage processing unit and the inflow side passage to the garbage processing unit in the air circulation passage face the upper space of the condensing unit, and the condensing unit and the garbage It was set as the structure which heat-exchanges with the air in a process part.

または、前記送風循環通路における前記生ごみ処理部からの流出側の通路を前記凝縮部に貯留した液体の液面下に臨ませ、前記送風循環通路における前記生ごみ処理部への流入側の通路を前記凝縮部の上部空間に臨ませ、前記凝縮部と前記生ごみ処理部内の空気とを熱交換する構成とした。   Alternatively, the passage on the outflow side from the garbage processing section in the blower circulation passage faces below the liquid level of the liquid stored in the condensing section, and the passage on the inflow side to the garbage treatment section in the blower circulation path Is exposed to the upper space of the condensing unit, and heat is exchanged between the condensing unit and the air in the garbage disposal unit.

これにより、送風手段が送風循環通路を介して生ごみ処理部と凝縮部とを循環する空気の流れを形成する。そして、送風循環通路に設けた加熱手段が空気を加熱し、温度上昇した空気は生ごみ処理部に噴出して生ごみを乾燥する。続いて、蒸気を含んだ空気は凝縮部に噴出し、貯留した液体に直接衝突し、続いて貯留した液体表面に沿って流れる。その際、貯留した液体に水冷されて空気の温度が速やかに低下し、空気中の蒸気が凝縮する。他方、蒸気を含んだ空気は凝縮部に流入し、凝縮部内の貯留した液体内を気泡となって通過するので、貯留した液体に水冷されて空気の温度が急激に低下し、空気中の蒸気が大量に凝縮する。   Thereby, a ventilation means forms the flow of the air which circulates through a garbage processing part and a condensation part via a ventilation circulation path. And the heating means provided in the ventilation circulation passage heats the air, and the air whose temperature has risen is ejected to the garbage processing section to dry the garbage. Subsequently, the air containing the vapor is ejected to the condensing part, directly collides with the stored liquid, and then flows along the stored liquid surface. At that time, the stored liquid is cooled with water and the temperature of the air rapidly decreases, and the vapor in the air condenses. On the other hand, the air containing the steam flows into the condensing part and passes through the liquid stored in the condensing part as bubbles, so that the temperature of the air is drastically decreased due to water cooling with the stored liquid. Condenses in large quantities.

本願発明の生ごみ乾燥処理装置は、生ごみから発生した蒸気を含んだ空気を外気による空冷ではなく、凝縮部に貯留した液体に直接衝突させ水冷却したもので、空気より熱伝導率の高い水冷却により、凝縮部の凝縮能力が高く、大量の生ごみが短時間で乾燥でき、かつ凝縮部のコンパクト化が図れるという効果がある。また、生ごみから発生する蒸気に含まれる臭気成分は凝縮水や貯留した液体に溶けるため、臭気を抑えることができ、従来の触媒脱臭部を特に設けなくても済むという効果がある。   The garbage drying treatment apparatus of the present invention is a water-cooled device in which air containing steam generated from garbage is not air-cooled by outside air but directly collided with the liquid stored in the condensing part, and has a higher thermal conductivity than air. Water cooling has the effect that the condensation capacity of the condensing part is high, a large amount of garbage can be dried in a short time, and the condensing part can be made compact. Further, since the odor component contained in the steam generated from the garbage is dissolved in the condensed water or the stored liquid, the odor can be suppressed, and there is an effect that it is not necessary to provide a conventional catalyst deodorization part.

第1の発明は、加熱手段を備え生ごみを乾燥する生ごみ処理部と、前記生ごみ処理部に発生する蒸気を、貯留した液体で凝縮する凝縮部と、前記凝縮部に連通し前記液体を供給する給水管と、前記凝縮部に連通し貯留した液体を排出する排水管と、前記生ごみ処理部と前記凝縮部と送風手段とを循環状に連通した送風循環通路とを備え、前記送風循環通路における前記生ごみ処理部からの流出側の通路と前記生ごみ処理部への流入側の通路を共に前記凝縮部の上部空間に臨ませ、前記凝縮部と前記生ごみ処理部内の空気とを熱交換する構成としたものである。   1st invention is provided with a heating means, a garbage processing part which dries garbage, a condensing part which condenses the vapor generated in the garbage processing part with a stored liquid, and the liquid communicated with the condensing part A water supply pipe for supplying water, a drain pipe for discharging the liquid stored in communication with the condensing unit, and a ventilation circulation passage in which the garbage processing unit, the condensing unit and the blowing means communicate in a circulating manner, Both the passage on the outflow side from the garbage processing unit and the passage on the inflow side to the garbage processing unit in the air circulation passage face the upper space of the condensing unit, and the air in the condensing unit and the garbage processing unit And are configured to exchange heat.

生ごみ処理部に生ごみが投入された場合、送風手段が送風循環通路を通じて生ごみ処理部と凝縮部とを循環する空気の流れを形成する。そして、流入側の送風循環通路に設けた加熱手段が空気を加熱し、温度上昇し相対湿度が下がった空気は流入側の送風循環通路の出口から生ごみ処理部に噴出して生ごみを乾燥する。続いて、生ごみから発生した蒸気を含んだ空気は流出側の送風循環通路の出口から凝縮部に噴出し、凝縮部に貯留した液体に直接衝突し、続いて貯留した液体表面に沿って流れる。その際、貯留した液体に直接水冷されて空気が速やかに温度低下し、空気の飽和蒸気圧が下がり空気中の蒸気が凝縮する。   When garbage is thrown into the garbage processing unit, the blowing means forms an air flow that circulates between the garbage processing unit and the condensing unit through the ventilation circulation passage. Then, the heating means provided in the inflow side air circulation passage heats the air, and the air whose temperature has risen and the relative humidity has dropped is jetted from the outlet of the inflow side air circulation passage to the garbage processing section to dry the garbage. To do. Subsequently, the air containing the steam generated from the garbage is ejected from the outlet of the blast circulation passage on the outflow side to the condensing unit, directly collides with the liquid stored in the condensing unit, and then flows along the stored liquid surface. . At that time, the stored liquid is directly cooled with water, and the temperature of the air rapidly decreases, the saturated vapor pressure of the air decreases and the vapor in the air condenses.

そして、凝縮水は直接、または凝縮部内面付着後に、貯留した液体に混じる。すなわち、空気を外気による空冷ではなく、熱伝導率の高い液体で直接水冷したので、凝縮部の凝縮能力が高いという効果がある。具体的には、生ごみ処理部に大量の生ごみが投入され、蒸気が生ごみ処理部で大量に発生した場合でも、大量の蒸気が凝縮部で凝縮するので、大量の生ごみが短時間で乾燥できる。   The condensed water is mixed with the stored liquid directly or after adhering to the inner surface of the condensing part. That is, air is not directly air-cooled by outside air, but directly water-cooled with a liquid having high thermal conductivity, so that there is an effect that the condensing part has high condensing capacity. Specifically, even when a large amount of garbage is thrown into the garbage processing unit and a large amount of steam is generated in the garbage processing unit, a large amount of steam is condensed in the condensing unit, so that a large amount of garbage is reduced in a short time. Can be dried.

さらに凝縮後、空気(飽和蒸気圧)は生ごみ処理部への流入側の送風循環通路の入口に流入して、空気の循環が形成される。他方、生ごみから発生する蒸気に含まれる臭気成分(例えば腐った魚の臭いであるトリメチルアミン)は凝縮水や貯留した液体に溶けるので、臭気が抑えられる。また、生ごみ由来のイオウや窒素により酸性化した凝縮水は、この凝縮水に比べて大量な貯留した液体より希釈されるので、問題はない。   Further, after condensation, air (saturated vapor pressure) flows into the inlet of the ventilation circulation passage on the inflow side to the garbage processing unit, and air circulation is formed. On the other hand, the odor component (for example, trimethylamine which is the smell of rotten fish) contained in the steam generated from the garbage is dissolved in the condensed water or the stored liquid, so that the odor is suppressed. Moreover, since the condensed water acidified with sulfur or nitrogen derived from garbage is diluted from a large amount of stored liquid compared to this condensed water, there is no problem.

第2の発明は、加熱手段を備え生ごみを乾燥する生ごみ処理部と、前記生ごみ処理部に発生する蒸気を、貯留した液体で凝縮する凝縮部と、前記凝縮部に連通し前記液体を供給する給水管と、前記凝縮部に連通し貯留した液体を排出する排水管と、前記生ごみ処理部と前記凝縮部と送風手段とを循環状に連通した送風循環通路とを備え、前記送風循環通路における前記生ごみ処理部からの流出側の通路を前記凝縮部に貯留した液体の液面下に臨ませ、前記送風循環通路における前記生ごみ処理部への流入側の通路を前記凝縮部の上部空間に臨ませ、前記凝縮部と前記生ごみ処理部内の空気とを熱交換する構成としたものである。   2nd invention is provided with a heating means to dry a garbage processing part, a condensing part which condenses the vapor generated in the garbage processing part with a stored liquid, and the liquid communicating with the condensing part A water supply pipe for supplying water, a drain pipe for discharging the liquid stored in communication with the condensing unit, and a ventilation circulation passage in which the garbage processing unit, the condensing unit and the blowing means communicate in a circulating manner, The passage on the outflow side from the garbage processing section in the blower circulation passage faces below the liquid level of the liquid stored in the condensing section, and the passage on the inflow side to the garbage treatment section in the blower circulation path is condensed. The heat exchanger exchanges heat between the condensing part and the air in the garbage disposal part.

蒸気を含んだ空気は流出側の送風循環通路の出口から凝縮部に噴出し、凝縮部内の貯留した液体内を気泡となって通過するので、凝縮部に貯留した液体と空気との接触面積が非常に広くなる。この結果、空気が凝縮部に貯留した液体に十分に水冷されて、空気が急激に温度低下し、空気の飽和蒸気圧が下がり空気中の蒸気が大量に凝縮する。そして、凝縮水は直接、または貯留した液体を抜けた後に凝縮部内面付着し貯留した液体に混じる。すなわち、空気が貯留した液体内を気泡となって通過するので、凝縮部の凝縮能力が非常に高いという効果がある。言い換えると、凝縮部の凝縮能力が高い分、凝縮部のコンパクト化が図れる。また、生ごみ由来のイオウや窒素により酸性化した凝縮水は、この凝縮水に比べて大量な貯留した液体より希釈されるので、特に問題はない。加えて、生ごみから発生する蒸気に含まれる臭気成分は、貯留した液体と空気との接触面積(気泡の表面積)が非常に広い分、貯留した液体に十分に溶けるので、臭気が確実に抑えられる。   The air containing the steam is ejected from the outlet of the air circulation passage on the outflow side to the condensing part and passes through the liquid stored in the condensing part as bubbles, so that the contact area between the liquid stored in the condensing part and the air is large. Become very wide. As a result, the air is sufficiently cooled with the liquid stored in the condensing unit, the temperature of the air rapidly decreases, the saturated vapor pressure of the air decreases, and a large amount of vapor in the air condenses. The condensed water is mixed with the stored liquid directly or after passing through the stored liquid and adhering to the inner surface of the condensing unit. In other words, since the air passes through the liquid in the form of bubbles, there is an effect that the condensing capacity of the condensing part is very high. In other words, the condensing part can be made more compact because the condensing part has a higher condensing capacity. Moreover, since the condensed water acidified by sulfur or nitrogen derived from garbage is diluted from a large amount of stored liquid compared to this condensed water, there is no particular problem. In addition, the odor component contained in the steam generated from garbage is sufficiently dissolved in the stored liquid because the contact area between the stored liquid and air (the surface area of the bubbles) is very wide, so the odor is reliably suppressed. It is done.

第3の発明は、特に、第1の発明または2の発明の加熱手段の配置は、送風循環通路における前記生ごみ処理部への流入側の通路途中または、生ごみ処理部の外面の少なくともいずれか一方に設ける構成としたことにより、流入側の送風循環通路に設けた加熱手段が空気を加熱し、温度上昇で相対湿度が下がり乾燥した空気を生ごみ処理部に噴出して生ごみを乾燥し、加えて、生ごみ処理部の外面に設けた加熱手段が生ごみ処理部を介して生ごみを直接加熱し、生ごみから蒸気を効率良く発生させることができ、かつ生ごみ処理部の内面に凝縮水が付着することを防止できる。   According to the third aspect of the invention, in particular, the arrangement of the heating means of the first aspect of the invention or the second aspect of the invention is such that at least one of the passageway on the inflow side to the garbage treatment unit in the air circulation passage and the outer surface of the garbage treatment unit. With this configuration, the heating means provided in the air circulation passage on the inflow side heats the air, and the temperature rises so that the relative humidity decreases and the dried air is blown out to the garbage processing section to dry the garbage. In addition, the heating means provided on the outer surface of the garbage processing section can directly heat the garbage through the garbage processing section, and can efficiently generate steam from the garbage processing section. It is possible to prevent the condensed water from adhering to the inner surface.

第4の発明は、特に、第1〜第3のいずれか1つの発明の凝縮部は、貯留した液体の水位を検出する水位検出部を備え、前記水位検出部の出力が所定値を超えた場合、貯留した液体を排水管から排水した後、再度給水管から液体を溜めるよう構成したことにより、凝縮部の上部空間が狭くなり、特に満水になると送風循環通路の閉塞により空気の流れが滞ることを防止できる。また、凝縮部に貯留した液体は、貯留した液体の水位が高くなると入れ替えるので、貯留した液体の温度と臭気成分濃度が一定の範囲に制御され、凝縮部の凝縮能力が安定し、臭気も抑えられる。さらに、排水管から貯留した液体を排水する際に、生ごみから発生した蒸気を含んだ空気は排水する液体により排水管に引き込まれ、かつ空気は流出側の送風循環通路の出口から凝縮部に噴出し、液体と共に気泡となって排水されるので、液体に溶け難い臭気成分(例えば腐った玉ねぎの臭いであるメチルメルカプタン)を排気でき、従来例の触媒脱臭部が不要になる。この結果、触媒を400℃以上に加熱する必要がなく加熱手段は小さな能力でよく、また断熱は簡素な構成でよいので、低コスト化が図れる。加えて、空気は必要以上に高温になることはないので、生ごみの高温熱分解による大量の臭気成分発生が防止できる。   According to a fourth aspect of the invention, in particular, the condensing unit according to any one of the first to third aspects includes a water level detection unit that detects a water level of the stored liquid, and an output of the water level detection unit exceeds a predetermined value. In this case, after the stored liquid is drained from the drain pipe, the liquid is accumulated again from the water supply pipe, so that the upper space of the condensing part becomes narrow, and particularly when the water is full, the air flow is delayed due to the blockage of the air circulation passage. Can be prevented. In addition, since the liquid stored in the condensing part is replaced when the water level of the stored liquid becomes high, the temperature and odor component concentration of the stored liquid are controlled within a certain range, the condensing capacity of the condensing part is stabilized, and odor is also suppressed. It is done. Furthermore, when the liquid stored in the drain pipe is drained, the air containing the steam generated from the garbage is drawn into the drain pipe by the drained liquid, and the air flows from the outlet of the outlet circulation passage to the condensing part. Since it is ejected and discharged as bubbles together with the liquid, it is possible to exhaust odor components that are difficult to dissolve in the liquid (for example, methyl mercaptan, which is the smell of rotten onions), and the conventional catalyst deodorizing unit is unnecessary. As a result, it is not necessary to heat the catalyst to 400 ° C. or higher, the heating means may have a small capacity, and the heat insulation may have a simple configuration, so that the cost can be reduced. In addition, since air does not become hotter than necessary, it is possible to prevent a large amount of odorous components from being generated due to high-temperature pyrolysis of garbage.

第5の発明は、特に、第4の発明の水位検出部は、送風手段を停止して凝縮部に貯留した液体の水位を検出するよう構成したことにより、凝縮部に貯留した液体の液面が安定するので、水位検出部の検出精度が向上する。   In the fifth aspect of the invention, in particular, the water level detection unit of the fourth invention is configured to detect the water level of the liquid stored in the condensing unit by stopping the air blowing means, so that the liquid level of the liquid stored in the condensing unit Is stabilized, so that the detection accuracy of the water level detector is improved.

第6の発明は、特に、第5の発明の水位検出部が所定期間水位の増加の出力をしない場合、送風手段と加熱手段を停止するよう構成したことにより、生ごみ処理容器内の生ごみが十分に乾燥されたと判断でき、省エネが図れる。   In the sixth aspect of the invention, in particular, when the water level detection unit of the fifth aspect of the invention does not output the increase of the water level for a predetermined period, the blower means and the heating means are stopped, so that the garbage in the garbage processing container is disposed. Can be judged to have been sufficiently dried, and energy can be saved.

第7の発明は、特に、第1〜第3のいずれか1つの発明の凝縮部は、貯留した液体の温度を検出する凝縮温度検出部を備え、前記凝縮温度検出部の出力が所定値を超えた場合、貯留した液体を排水管から排水した後、再度給水管から液体を溜めるよう構成したことにより、凝縮部の凝縮能力の低下を防止できる。また、凝縮部に貯留した液体は、貯留した液体の温度が高くなると入れ替えるので、凝縮部に貯留した液体の水位と臭気成分濃度が一定の範囲に制御され、空気の流れが滞ることを防止し、臭気も抑えられる。さらに、排水管から貯留した液体を排水する際に、生ごみから発生した蒸気を含んだ空気は排水する液体により排水管に引き込まれ、かつ空気は流出側の送風循環通路の出口から凝縮部に噴出し、液体と共に気泡となって排水されるので、液体に溶け難い臭気成分(例えばメチルメルカプタン)を排気でき、従来例の触媒脱臭部が不要になる。この結果、触媒を400℃以上に加熱する必要がなく加熱手段は小さな能力でよく、また断熱は簡素な構成でよいので、低コスト化が図れる。加えて、空気は必要以上に高温になることはないので、生ごみの高温熱分解による大量の臭気成分発生が防止できる。   In the seventh invention, in particular, the condensing unit of any one of the first to third inventions includes a condensing temperature detecting unit that detects the temperature of the stored liquid, and the output of the condensing temperature detecting unit has a predetermined value. When it exceeds, it is possible to prevent the condensing part from deteriorating in condensing capacity by draining the stored liquid from the drain pipe and then collecting the liquid again from the water supply pipe. In addition, since the liquid stored in the condensing unit is replaced when the temperature of the stored liquid becomes high, the water level and odor component concentration of the liquid stored in the condensing unit are controlled within a certain range, and the air flow is prevented from stagnation. The odor is also suppressed. Furthermore, when the liquid stored in the drain pipe is drained, the air containing the steam generated from the garbage is drawn into the drain pipe by the drained liquid, and the air flows from the outlet of the outlet circulation passage to the condensing part. Since it is ejected and discharged in the form of bubbles together with the liquid, it is possible to exhaust an odor component (for example, methyl mercaptan) that is difficult to dissolve in the liquid, and the conventional catalyst deodorizing unit is not required. As a result, it is not necessary to heat the catalyst to 400 ° C. or higher, the heating means may have a small capacity, and the heat insulation may have a simple configuration, so that the cost can be reduced. In addition, since air does not become hotter than necessary, it is possible to prevent a large amount of odorous components from being generated due to high-temperature pyrolysis of garbage.

第8の発明は、特に、第4の発明または7の発明の生ごみ処理部に外気を取り入れる開閉弁を備えた外気吸気手段を設け、貯留した液体を排水管から排水する際に前記開閉弁を開にするよう構成したことにより、貯留した液体を排水管から排水する際に、外気吸気手段から外気を取り入れるので、生ごみ処理部が負圧になることが防止でき、液体が空気と共にスムーズに排水することができる。この結果、液体に溶け難い臭気成分を十分に排気できる。   In an eighth aspect of the present invention, in particular, an open air intake means having an open / close valve for taking in outside air is provided in the garbage processing section of the fourth or seventh aspect of the invention, and the open / close valve is used when draining the stored liquid from the drain pipe. Since the outside air is taken in from the outside air intake means when the stored liquid is drained from the drain pipe, the garbage processing unit can be prevented from becoming negative pressure, and the liquid can be smoothly mixed with the air. Can be drained. As a result, the odor component that is difficult to dissolve in the liquid can be exhausted sufficiently.

第9の発明は、特に、第1〜第3のいずれか1つの発明の生ごみ処理部に生ごみを攪拌する攪拌手段を備え、前記攪拌手段の駆動期間中は、送風手段を停止するよう構成したことにより、駆動する攪拌手段により飛散する生ごみが循環する空気に運ばれ生ごみ処理部から誤って排出することを防止できる。この結果、凝縮部、送風手段、加熱手段に生ごみが付着することがない。   In a ninth aspect of the invention, in particular, the garbage processing section of any one of the first to third inventions is provided with a stirring means for stirring the garbage, and the blowing means is stopped during the drive period of the stirring means. By comprising, it can prevent that the garbage scattered by the drive stirring means is carried by the circulating air, and is discharged | emitted accidentally from a garbage processing part. As a result, garbage does not adhere to the condensing unit, the blowing unit, and the heating unit.

以上のように構成された生ごみ乾燥処理装置において、その動作を説明する。   The operation of the garbage drying processing apparatus configured as described above will be described.

まず台所のシンク21で発生した生ごみが、破砕装置22に投入され、かつ水道水が流し込まれると、破砕装置22が駆動を開始する。破砕装置22が生ごみを破砕し、水道水と混合して固液を形成し、この固液が固液分離装置23に流入する。   First, when garbage generated in the sink 21 of the kitchen is put into the crushing device 22 and tap water is poured, the crushing device 22 starts driving. The crushing device 22 crushes the garbage, mixes it with tap water to form a solid liquid, and this solid liquid flows into the solid-liquid separation device 23.

固液分離装置23は破砕生ごみに付着した汁や水道水を分離して固液排水管24から下水へ排水し、他方破砕生ごみは分離され、生ごみ処理部25に排出される。同時に、送風手段36が送風循環通路35を通して生ごみ処理部25と凝縮部28とを循環する空気の流れ(例えば10〜100L/min)を形成する。   The solid-liquid separator 23 separates the juice and tap water adhering to the crushed garbage and drains it into the sewage from the solid-liquid drain pipe 24, while the crushed garbage is separated and discharged to the garbage processing unit 25. At the same time, the air blowing means 36 forms an air flow (for example, 10 to 100 L / min) that circulates between the garbage processing unit 25 and the condensing unit 28 through the air circulation passage 35.

また、ギアドモータ27が定期的(例えば15分間隔)に駆動して攪拌手段26を回転(1分程度)させて破砕生ごみを攪拌する。そして、流入側の送風循環通路35Bに設けた加熱手段41が空気を加熱し、温度上昇し相対湿度が下がった乾燥した空気は流入側の送風循環通路35Bの出口B40から生ごみ処理部25に噴出して生ごみを乾燥する。なお、生ごみ処理部25に噴出した空気は生ごみ処理部25の内面を流れて、かつ温度を上昇させるので、生ごみ処理部25の内面に凝縮水が付着することを抑制できる。   Further, the geared motor 27 is driven periodically (for example, at intervals of 15 minutes) to rotate the stirring means 26 (about 1 minute) to stir the crushed garbage. Then, the heating means 41 provided in the inflow-side air circulation passage 35B heats the air, and the dried air whose temperature has increased and the relative humidity has decreased is discharged from the outlet B40 of the inflow-side air circulation passage 35B to the garbage processing unit 25. Spout to dry garbage. In addition, since the air which ejected to the garbage processing part 25 flows through the inner surface of the garbage processing part 25 and raises temperature, it can suppress that condensed water adheres to the inner surface of the garbage processing part 25.

破砕装置22、固液分離装置23、攪拌手段26、送風手段36、加熱手段37の動作は、制御手段(図示せず)によって制御されているものである。   The operations of the crushing device 22, the solid-liquid separation device 23, the stirring means 26, the air blowing means 36, and the heating means 37 are controlled by a control means (not shown).

続いて、生ごみから発生した蒸気を大量に含んだ空気は、送風手段36により流出側の送風循環通路35Aの入口A37に流入する。そして、蒸気を大量に含んだ空気は流出側の送風循環通路35Aの出口A38から凝縮部28に噴出し、貯留タンク30に貯留した水道水29に直接衝突し、続いて泡立てながら貯留した水道水29表面に沿って流れる。その際、貯留した水道水29に水冷されて空気の温度が速やかに低下し、空気の飽和蒸気圧が下がり空気中の蒸気が凝縮する。そして、凝縮水は直接、または凝縮部28内面付着後に、貯留した水道水29に混じる。   Subsequently, the air containing a large amount of steam generated from the garbage flows into the inlet A37 of the outlet circulation passage 35A by the blowing means 36. The air containing a large amount of steam is ejected from the outlet A38 of the outflow side air circulation passage 35A to the condensing unit 28, directly collides with the tap water 29 stored in the storage tank 30, and then stored in the foamed tap water. 29 flows along the surface. At that time, the stored tap water 29 is cooled with water, and the temperature of the air rapidly decreases, the saturated vapor pressure of the air decreases, and the vapor in the air condenses. The condensed water is mixed with the stored tap water 29 directly or after adhering to the inner surface of the condensing part 28.

すなわち、生ごみから発生した蒸気を大量に含んだ空気を外気による空冷でなく、熱伝導率の高い液体、水道水29で直接水冷したので、凝縮部28の凝縮能力が高いという効果がある。   That is, air containing a large amount of steam generated from garbage is not air-cooled by outside air, but directly water-cooled with a liquid having high thermal conductivity, tap water 29, so that the condensing capacity of the condensing unit 28 is high.

具体的には、固液分離装置23から生ごみ処理部25に大量の生ごみが投入され、蒸気が生ごみ処理部25で大量に発生した場合でも、大量の蒸気が凝縮部28で凝縮するので、大量の生ごみが短時間で乾燥できる。   Specifically, even when a large amount of garbage is input from the solid-liquid separator 23 to the garbage processing unit 25 and a large amount of steam is generated in the garbage processing unit 25, a large amount of steam is condensed in the condensing unit 28. Therefore, a large amount of garbage can be dried in a short time.

さらに、凝縮後の空気(飽和蒸気圧)は生ごみ処理部25への流入側の送風循環通路35Bの入口に流入して、空気の循環が形成される。他方、生ごみから発生する蒸気に含まれる臭気成分(例えばトリメチルアミン)は凝縮水や貯留した水道水29に溶けるので、臭気が抑えられる。   Further, the condensed air (saturated vapor pressure) flows into the inlet of the blow-in circulation passage 35B on the inflow side to the garbage processing unit 25 to form air circulation. On the other hand, since the odor component (for example, trimethylamine) contained in the steam generated from the garbage is dissolved in the condensed water or the stored tap water 29, the odor is suppressed.

なお、生ごみ由来のイオウや窒素により酸性化した凝縮水は、この凝縮水に比べて大量な貯留した水道水29より希釈されるので、問題はない。   In addition, since the condensed water acidified with the sulfur and nitrogen derived from garbage is diluted from the tap water 29 stored in large quantities compared with this condensed water, there is no problem.

また、水位検出部42は、水位を検出する際に送風手段36を停止するよう制御手段(図示せず)によって制御されているため、貯留タンク30に貯留した水道水29の液面が安定して水位検出部42の検出精度が向上する。他方、凝縮水が貯留した水道水29に混ざり続けると、当然貯留した水道水29の水位が上がる。そして水位検出部42は適宜(例えば15分間隔)水位を検出し、水位検出部42の出力が設定した所定の閾値を超えた時、開閉弁B33、開閉弁C44を開けて、外気吸気手段37から外気を取り入れるので、生ごみ処理部25が負圧になることが防止でき、貯留した水道水29を排水管34からスムーズに排水できる。   Moreover, since the water level detection part 42 is controlled by the control means (not shown) to stop the air blowing means 36 when detecting the water level, the liquid level of the tap water 29 stored in the storage tank 30 is stabilized. Thus, the detection accuracy of the water level detection unit 42 is improved. On the other hand, if the condensed water continues to be mixed with the stored tap water 29, the stored tap water 29 naturally rises in level. The water level detection unit 42 detects the water level as appropriate (for example, at intervals of 15 minutes), and when the output of the water level detection unit 42 exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the on-off valve B33 and the on-off valve C44 are opened, and the outside air intake means 37 Since the outside air is taken in, the garbage processing unit 25 can be prevented from becoming negative pressure, and the stored tap water 29 can be smoothly drained from the drain pipe 34.

次に、開閉弁B33を閉じてから、開閉弁A31を開けて給水管32から再び水道水を貯留タンク30に溜める。続いて、開閉弁A31と開閉弁C44を閉じて水道水29の入れ替えが完了する。   Next, after closing the on-off valve B33, the on-off valve A31 is opened, and the tap water is again stored in the storage tank 30 from the water supply pipe 32. Subsequently, the on-off valve A31 and the on-off valve C44 are closed to complete the replacement of the tap water 29.

この結果、貯留タンク30の上部空間が狭くなり、特に満水になると送風循環通路35Aの出口A38や35Bの入口B39の閉塞により空気の流れが滞ることを防止できる。   As a result, the upper space of the storage tank 30 becomes narrow, and particularly when the storage tank 30 is full, it is possible to prevent the air flow from being delayed due to the blockage of the outlet A38 of the blower circulation passage 35A and the inlet B39 of 35B.

開閉弁A31、開閉弁B33、開閉弁C44の動作は、水位検出部42の出力に応じて制御手段(図示せず)によって制御されているものである。なお、貯留タンク30の水位が目視で把握可能な場合や水位検出部42の報知された場合、手動で開閉弁A31、開閉弁B33、開閉弁C44を動作してもよい。   The operations of the on-off valve A31, the on-off valve B33, and the on-off valve C44 are controlled by a control means (not shown) according to the output of the water level detection unit 42. In addition, when the water level of the storage tank 30 can be grasped visually or when the water level detection unit 42 is notified, the on-off valve A31, on-off valve B33, and on-off valve C44 may be manually operated.

また、貯留した水道水29の水位は、温度、臭気成分濃度とほぼ正の相関があるため、貯留した水道水29の水位が高くなると、貯留した水道水29を入れ替えるので、貯留した水道水29の温度と臭気成分濃度が一定の範囲に制御され、凝縮部28の凝縮能力が安定し、臭気も抑えられる。すなわち、凝縮した水が貯留した水道水29に混ざり続け、貯留した水道水29の温度や臭気成分濃度が高くなり、凝縮部28の凝縮能力と臭気成分の溶解度が低下することを防止できる。   Moreover, since the water level of the stored tap water 29 has a substantially positive correlation with the temperature and the odor component concentration, the stored tap water 29 is replaced when the water level of the stored tap water 29 becomes high. The temperature and the odor component concentration are controlled within a certain range, the condensing capacity of the condensing unit 28 is stabilized, and the odor is suppressed. That is, it is possible to prevent the condensed water from continuing to be mixed with the stored tap water 29, the temperature of the stored tap water 29 and the odor component concentration being increased, and the condensing capacity of the condensing unit 28 and the solubility of the odor component from being lowered.

さらに、排水管34から貯留した水道水29を排水する際に、蒸気を含んだ空気が排水する水道水29により排水管34に引き込まれ、かつ空気は送風循環通路35Aの出口A38から排水管34の入口に向かって噴出しているので、その勢いで空気は気泡となり貯留した水道水29と共に排水する。   Further, when the tap water 29 stored from the drain pipe 34 is drained, steam-containing air is drawn into the drain pipe 34 by the drained tap water 29, and the air is discharged from the outlet A38 of the blower circulation passage 35A to the drain pipe 34. Since the air is ejected toward the entrance of the air, the air becomes bubbles and is discharged together with the stored tap water 29.

この結果、貯留した水道水29に溶け難い臭気成分(例えばメチルメルカプタン)が排気され、従来例のような触媒脱臭部が不要になる。この結果、触媒を400℃以上に加熱する必要がなく加熱手段41は小さな能力でよく、また断熱は簡素な構成でよいので、低コスト化が図れる。加えて、空気は必要以上に高温になることはないので、生ごみの高温熱分解による大量の臭気成分発生が防止できる。   As a result, an odor component (for example, methyl mercaptan) that is difficult to dissolve in the stored tap water 29 is exhausted, and the catalyst deodorizing unit as in the conventional example is not necessary. As a result, it is not necessary to heat the catalyst to 400 ° C. or higher, the heating means 41 may have a small capacity, and the heat insulation may have a simple configuration, so that the cost can be reduced. In addition, since air does not become hotter than necessary, it is possible to prevent a large amount of odorous components from being generated due to high-temperature pyrolysis of garbage.

また、攪拌手段26が回転して生ごみを攪拌している期間、送風手段36は停止するよう制御手段(図示せず)によって制御されているため、攪拌手段26の攪拌により乾燥した細かな生ごみが飛散して循環する空気に運ばれることが防止できる。この結果、細かな乾燥した生ごみが、生ごみ処理部25から誤って排出されることなく、凝縮部28、送風手段36、加熱手段41に生ごみが付着することがない。   Further, since the blowing means 36 is controlled by the control means (not shown) to stop while the stirring means 26 is rotating and stirring the garbage, the fine raw food dried by the stirring of the stirring means 26 is controlled. Garbage can be prevented from being scattered and carried to the circulating air. As a result, fine dry garbage is not accidentally discharged from the garbage processing unit 25, and the garbage does not adhere to the condensing unit 28, the air blowing unit 36, and the heating unit 41.

また、生ごみ処理部25に排出された生ごみの乾燥が進むと、生ごみから発生する蒸気は減少し、当然凝縮部28での凝縮水の発生も減少する。そこで、水位検出部42の出力が所定期間(例えば3時間)増加しない場合、生ごみ処理容器25内の生ごみが十分に乾燥、減量化されたと判断でき、ギアドモータ27、送風手段36、加熱手段41を停止するよう制御手段(図示せず)によって制御することで省エネが図れる。   Further, when the garbage discharged to the garbage processing unit 25 is dried, the steam generated from the garbage is reduced, and naturally the generation of condensed water in the condensing unit 28 is also reduced. Therefore, when the output of the water level detection unit 42 does not increase for a predetermined period (for example, 3 hours), it can be determined that the garbage in the garbage processing container 25 has been sufficiently dried and reduced, and the geared motor 27, the air blowing means 36, and the heating means. Energy saving can be achieved by controlling by means of control means (not shown) to stop 41.

(実施の形態2)
本発明の実施の形態2について、図2を用いて説明する。図2は、本発明の実施の形態2における生ごみ乾燥処理装置の構成図を示すものである。尚、実施の形態1と同一部分については同一符号を付してその説明を省略する。
(Embodiment 2)
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 shows a configuration diagram of a garbage drying processing apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Note that the same parts as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

実施の形態1と異なるところは、加熱手段45を生ごみ処理部25の外面に追加して設け、流出側の送風循環通路35Aの出口A38を貯留タンク30の底面に接続し、貯留した水道水29の温度を検出する凝縮温度検出部46と邪魔板47とを凝縮部28の水面下に設けた点である。   The difference from the first embodiment is that heating means 45 is additionally provided on the outer surface of the garbage processing unit 25, and the outlet A38 of the blast circulation passage 35A on the outflow side is connected to the bottom surface of the storage tank 30 to store the stored tap water. The condensing temperature detecting unit 46 for detecting the temperature 29 and the baffle plate 47 are provided below the water surface of the condensing unit 28.

まず、生ごみ処理部25に生ごみが投入された場合、送風手段36(空気ポンプ)が送風循環通路35を通じて生ごみ処理部25と凝縮部28とを循環する空気の流れ(例えば4〜10L/min)を形成する。そして、流入側の送風循環通路35Bに設けた加熱手段41が空気を加熱し、温度上昇で相対湿度が下がり乾燥した空気を生ごみ処理部25に噴出して生ごみを乾燥する。加えて、生ごみ処理部25の外面に設けた加熱手段45が生ごみ処理部25を介して生ごみを乾燥する。続いて、生ごみから発生した蒸気を大量に含んだ空気は、送風手段36により流出側の送風循環通路35Aの入口A37に流入する。また、加熱手段45が生ごみ処理部25の外面より直接に、かつ加熱手段41が空気を介して生ごみ処理部25の温度を上昇させるので、生ごみ処理部25の内面に凝縮水が付着することを防止できる。   First, when garbage is thrown into the garbage processing unit 25, an air flow (for example, 4 to 10 L) is circulated between the garbage processing unit 25 and the condensing unit 28 through the air circulation passage 35 by the blowing unit 36 (air pump). / Min). Then, the heating means 41 provided in the inflow side air circulation passage 35B heats the air, the relative humidity decreases due to the temperature rise, and the dried air is ejected to the garbage processing unit 25 to dry the garbage. In addition, the heating means 45 provided on the outer surface of the garbage processing unit 25 dries the garbage through the garbage processing unit 25. Subsequently, the air containing a large amount of steam generated from the garbage flows into the inlet A37 of the outlet circulation passage 35A by the blowing means 36. Moreover, since the heating means 45 raises the temperature of the garbage processing part 25 directly from the outer surface of the garbage processing part 25 and the heating means 41 via air, condensed water adheres to the inner surface of the garbage processing part 25. Can be prevented.

次に、空気は、凝縮部28に貯留した水道水29内に開口した流出側の送風循環通路35Aの出口A38から噴出し、貯留した水道水29内を邪魔板47に衝突して多数の気泡となって略均一に通過するので、貯留した水道水29と空気との接触面積(気泡の表面積)が非常に広くなる。この結果、空気が貯留した水道水29に十分に水冷されて急激に温度低下し、空気の飽和蒸気圧が下がるので、空気中の蒸気が大量に凝縮する。   Next, air is ejected from the outlet A38 of the outflow side air circulation passage 35A opened in the tap water 29 stored in the condensing unit 28, and the stored tap water 29 collides with the baffle plate 47 to cause a large number of bubbles. Therefore, the contact area (bubble surface area) between the stored tap water 29 and the air becomes very wide. As a result, the tap water 29 in which the air is stored is sufficiently cooled with water and the temperature is rapidly lowered, and the saturated vapor pressure of the air is lowered. Therefore, a large amount of vapor in the air is condensed.

そして、凝縮水は直接、または空気が貯留した水道水29を抜けた後に凝縮部28の上部空間の内面で凝縮して付着した後貯留した水道水29に混じる。   The condensed water is mixed with the stored tap water 29 directly or after condensing and adhering on the inner surface of the upper space of the condensing unit 28 after passing through the stored tap water 29.

なお、気泡の破裂音が大きいため、空気量は実施の形態1に比べて少ないが、貯留した水道水29と空気との接触面積(気泡の表面積)が非常に広い分、凝縮部28のコンパクト化が図れ、蒸気に含まれる臭気成分は貯留した水道水29に十分に溶けるので、臭気が確実に抑えられる。   The amount of air is small compared to the first embodiment because of the large burst noise of bubbles, but the contact area between the stored tap water 29 and air (the surface area of the bubbles) is very large, so the condensing unit 28 is compact. Since the odor component contained in the steam is sufficiently dissolved in the stored tap water 29, the odor can be reliably suppressed.

なお、生ごみ由来のイオウや窒素により酸性化した凝縮水は、この凝縮水に比べて大量な貯留した水道水29より希釈されるので、特に問題はない。   In addition, since the condensed water acidified with the waste-derived sulfur and nitrogen is diluted from a large amount of stored tap water 29 compared to this condensed water, there is no particular problem.

ただし、逆に貯留した水道水29は気泡となって通過する空気に加熱され温度上昇する。そして、凝縮温度検出部46の出力が設定した所定の閾値を超えた時、開閉弁B33、開閉弁C44を開けて、外気吸気手段37から外気を取り入れるので、生ごみ処理部25が負圧になることが防止でき、貯留した水道水29を排水管34からスムーズに排水できる。   However, conversely, the stored tap water 29 is heated by air passing through as bubbles and the temperature rises. When the output of the condensing temperature detection unit 46 exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the on-off valve B33 and the on-off valve C44 are opened, and outside air is taken in from the outside air intake means 37, so that the garbage processing unit 25 becomes negative pressure. The stored tap water 29 can be smoothly drained from the drain pipe 34.

次に、開閉弁B33を閉じてから、開閉弁A31を開けて給水管32から再び水道水を貯留タンク30に溜める。続いて、開閉弁A31と開閉弁C44を閉じて水道水29の入れ替えが完了する。   Next, after closing the on-off valve B33, the on-off valve A31 is opened, and the tap water is again stored in the storage tank 30 from the water supply pipe 32. Subsequently, the on-off valve A31 and the on-off valve C44 are closed to complete the replacement of the tap water 29.

この結果、貯留した水道水29の水冷能力の低下により凝縮部28の凝縮能力が低下することを防止できる。   As a result, it is possible to prevent the condensing capacity of the condensing unit 28 from being lowered due to a decrease in the water cooling capacity of the stored tap water 29.

開閉弁A31、開閉弁B33、開閉弁C44の動作は、水位検出部42の出力に応じて制御手段(図示せず)によって制御されているものである。   The operations of the on-off valve A31, the on-off valve B33, and the on-off valve C44 are controlled by a control means (not shown) according to the output of the water level detection unit 42.

また、貯留した水道水29の温度は、水位、臭気成分濃度とほぼ正の相関があるため、貯留した水道水29の水位と臭気成分濃度が一定の範囲に制御され、空気の流れが滞ることを防止し、臭気も抑えられる。すなわち、貯留した水道水Aの温度が高くなると、貯留した水道水Aを入れ替えるので、凝縮部28の上部空間が狭くなり、特に満水になると送風循環通路33Aの出口や33Bの入口の閉塞により空気の流れが滞ることや、臭気成分濃度が高くなり、臭気成分の溶解度が低下することを防止できる。   Moreover, since the temperature of the stored tap water 29 has a substantially positive correlation with the water level and the odor component concentration, the water level of the stored tap water 29 and the odor component concentration are controlled within a certain range, and the air flow is delayed. And odor can be suppressed. That is, when the temperature of the stored tap water A is increased, the stored tap water A is replaced, so that the upper space of the condensing unit 28 is narrowed. Especially when the water is full, the air is blocked by the outlet of the air circulation passage 33A and the inlet of the 33B. It is possible to prevent the flow of stagnation and the odor component concentration from increasing and the solubility of the odor component from decreasing.

さらに、排水管34から貯留した水道水29を排水する際に、排水する水道水29により排水管34に引き込まれ、かつ貯留した水道水29内を通過する多数の空気の気泡が貯留した水道水29と共に排水するので、貯留した水道水29に溶け難い臭気成分(例えばメチルメルカプタン)を排気でき、従来例のような触媒脱臭部が不要になる。   Furthermore, when the tap water 29 stored from the drain pipe 34 is drained, the tap water that is drawn into the drain pipe 34 by the drained tap water 29 and stores a large number of air bubbles passing through the stored tap water 29 is stored. 29, the odorous component (for example, methyl mercaptan) which is difficult to dissolve in the stored tap water 29 can be exhausted, and the catalyst deodorizing part as in the conventional example is not required.

この結果、触媒を400℃以上に加熱する必要がなく加熱手段41は小さな能力でよく、また断熱は簡素な構成でよいので、低コスト化が図れる。加えて、空気は必要以上に高温になることはないので、生ごみの高温熱分解による大量の臭気成分発生が防止できる。   As a result, it is not necessary to heat the catalyst to 400 ° C. or higher, the heating means 41 may have a small capacity, and the heat insulation may have a simple configuration, so that the cost can be reduced. In addition, since air does not become hotter than necessary, it is possible to prevent a large amount of odorous components from being generated due to high-temperature pyrolysis of garbage.

なお、上記実施の形態2では、送風循環通路35Bに設けた加熱手段41に生ごみ処理部25の外面に設けた加熱手段45を追加した構成で説明したが、加熱手段41がなく加熱手段45のみだけの場合においても、同様の効果が得られるものである。   In the second embodiment, the heating means 41 provided on the outer surface of the garbage disposal unit 25 is added to the heating means 41 provided in the air circulation passage 35B. However, there is no heating means 41 and the heating means 45 is provided. The same effect can be obtained even in the case of only the case.

さらに、上記実施の形態1、2においての説明では、台所のシンク21で発生した生ごみを破砕装置22に投入し、水道水と混合した固液を固液分離装置23にて分離し、この分離された破砕生ごみを生ごみ処理部25にて乾燥する過程を有した構成を一例として説明したが、上述の台所のシンク21、破砕装置22、固液分離装置23の過程を有さず、直接生ごみ処理部25に生ごみを投入する構成にした場合においても、上述の本願発明の効果を同様に発揮し得るものである。   Furthermore, in the description in the first and second embodiments, the garbage generated in the sink 21 of the kitchen is put into the crushing device 22, and the solid-liquid mixed with tap water is separated by the solid-liquid separation device 23. Although the structure having the process of drying the separated crushed garbage in the garbage processing unit 25 has been described as an example, the process of the above-described kitchen sink 21, crushing device 22, and solid-liquid separation device 23 is not provided. Even when the garbage is directly put into the garbage processing unit 25, the above-described effects of the present invention can be similarly exhibited.

また、凝縮部28に貯留した水道水29は、固液排水管24から排水する生ごみに付着した汁や水道水でも同様の効果が得られるものである。   Further, the tap water 29 stored in the condensing unit 28 can obtain the same effect even if it is juice or tap water attached to the garbage drained from the solid-liquid drain pipe 24.

以上のように、本願発明によれば、凝縮部の凝縮能力向上及び装置の簡素化を図った生ごみ乾燥処理装置を提供する。   As mentioned above, according to this invention, the garbage drying processing apparatus which aimed at the condensation capability improvement of the condensation part and the simplification of an apparatus is provided.
