  6 and 7, an electric condensing cooler 64 composed of a Peltier element is provided on the downstream side of the condenser 51 from the first embodiment. The condenser 51 and the condenser cooler 64 are connected by a connecting pipe C68. In the present embodiment, only the condenser 51, the exhaust passage A 57 a connected to the condenser 51, the condensing cooler 64, the connecting tool A 66, and the connecting pipe C 68 are arranged on the cooling passage 54.

The separated part enters the deodorizing device 55, and the odor component is deodorized. The other separated air enters the heat exchanger 59 and enters the garbage storage container 42 through the ventilation path 60. The air deodorized by the deodorizing device 55 enters the heat exchanger 59 and exchanges heat with the other air separated after the exhaust means 58 (suction fan motor). Thereafter, after the cooling air of the cooling fan 50 is merged, the air is discharged from the exhaust port 53 to the outside. Here, the condensed water generated in the condenser cooler 64 is discharged to the sewer through the tank 73 and the condensed water pipe B74.

  Other than the above, the configuration is exactly the same as in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  Operation | movement in the garbage processing machine in the said structure is demonstrated.

  A condenser cooler 64 using a Peltier element 64a is provided downstream of the condenser 51, and the condenser cooler 64 is also configured to separate heat from the garbage storage container 42 and the heating means 46 by a wall 63. By combining the condenser 51 and the electric condenser cooler 64 using the Peltier element 64a, it is possible to condense the steam from the garbage storage container 42 with high efficiency (about 95% or more), and to deodorize it. The deodorizing device 55 (eg, activated carbon filter, ozone deodorizing device, etc.) that does not require a heavy burden on the device 55 and does not increase in temperature is sufficient, so that it is possible to provide a garbage disposal machine that can be used with peace of mind by the user. . Further, since the condenser 51 reduces the temperature of the steam from the garbage storage container 42, the burden on the condenser cooler 64 itself is reduced as compared with the case where all the steam is condensed by the condenser cooler 64 using the Peltier element 64a alone. That is, it becomes possible to reduce the applied voltage and power consumption of the Peltier element 64a constituting the condenser cooler 64.

  A condenser cooler 64 using a Peltier element 64 a is provided downstream of the condenser 51, and external air is sucked from the suction port 52 by the cooling fan 50 to cool in the order of the condenser 51 from the radiation fins 64 b of the condenser cooler 64, The exhaust air is exhausted from the exhaust port 53 to the outside, and the cooling air from the cooling fan 50 becomes higher than the outside air temperature after passing through the radiation fins 64b of the condenser cooler 64, but the garbage storage container 42 is about 70 to The condenser 51 through which the steam passes is heated at a temperature of about 100 ° C. When there is no cooling air, the temperature rises to about 70 ° C., so that it can be sufficiently cooled by the cooling air that is higher than the outside temperature. Become. From the above, since the cooling efficiency of the condenser 51 is high without the need to newly provide another cooling passage 54, a cooling fan 50, an exhaust port 53, and a suction port 52, steam from the garbage storage container 42 is highly efficient. It is possible to condense (condensation rate: about 95% or more) with a deodorizing device 55 (eg activated carbon filter, ozone deodorizing device, etc.) that does not require a heavy burden on the deodorizing device 55 and does not increase in temperature. Since it is sufficient, it is possible to provide a garbage disposal machine that the user can use with peace of mind.

The condensing cooler 64 and the condensing passage 65 are connected by a connecting pipe D69, and the condensing passage 65 and the exhaust passage B57b are connected by a connecting pipe B67. The air condensed in the condensing passage 65 passes through the exhaust passage 57 and passes through the exhaust means 58 (suction fan motor) to separate the air. The separated part enters the deodorizing device 55, and the odor component is deodorized. The other separated air enters the heat exchanger 59 and enters the garbage storage container 42 through the ventilation path 60. The air deodorized by the deodorizing device 55 enters the heat exchanger 59 and exchanges heat with the other air separated after the exhaust means 58 (suction fan motor). Thereafter, after the cooling air of the cooling fan 50 is merged, the air is discharged from the exhaust port 53 to the outside. Here, the condensed water generated in the condensation passage 65 is discharged to the sewer through the condensed water tank C75.

  Since other than the above is exactly the same as the second embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

  Operation | movement in the garbage processing machine in the said structure is demonstrated.

  A condensing passage 65 through which air after passing through the condensing cooler 64 flows is provided. External air is sucked from the suction port 52 by the cooling fan 50, and the cooling fins 64 b of the condensing cooler 64 and the condenser 51 are cooled in this order from the condensing passage 65. In this configuration, the air is exhausted from the exhaust port 53 to the outside, and cooling efficiency is improved and cooling of the condensing passage 65 is performed by cooling the cooling air from the cooling fan 50 in order from the condensing passage 65 having a low temperature. As a result, the steam that could not be condensed by the condensing cooler 64 can be condensed by the condensing passage 65, so that the condensing rate of the steam can be improved, it is not necessary to place a heavy burden on the deodorizing device 55, and the temperature does not increase greatly. Since the deodorizing device 55 (e.g., activated carbon filter, ozone deodorizing device, etc.) is sufficient, it is possible to provide a garbage disposal machine that the user can use with confidence.
