  The present invention relates to a waste treatment apparatus.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a conventional toilet device capable of processing urine, which is organic waste discharged from a home. This toilet device includes a toilet having a toilet bowl and a discharge pipe communicating with the toilet bowl. A flapper capable of opening and closing the opening is attached to the lower end opening of the discharge pipe. A treatment tank is provided below the toilet bowl through a communication pipe. An intake pipe is connected to the communication pipe. The treatment tank is provided with an exhaust device.

  In this toilet apparatus, since the flapper normally closes the lower end opening of the discharge pipe, it is possible to reliably prevent the odor of the treatment tank from flowing into the toilet room. The flapper opens the lower end opening of the discharge pipe when discharging the filth. At this time, the intake pipe is closed, and the air in the toilet room is sucked from the toilet bowl by the exhaust device. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the odor of the treatment tank from flowing into the toilet room.

JP 2006-112093 A

  However, in the above conventional toilet device, the flapper normally closes the lower end opening of the discharge pipe, and the flapper opens the lower end opening of the discharge pipe only for a few seconds when discharging the filth, and sucks the air in the toilet room To do. For this reason, it is difficult to sufficiently suck and exhaust the odor in the toilet room through the toilet bowl.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional circumstances, and is a waste treatment apparatus that does not emit odor from an input container, and the input container can sufficiently suck and exhaust the surrounding odor. Providing is a problem to be solved.

The waste treatment apparatus is provided with an input port for introducing organic waste discharged from a household, an air inlet, a lid member that can open and close the input port, and an input port that communicates with the input port. An input container having a discharge port through which the waste discharged is discharged;
A treatment tank communicating with the discharge port and in which the waste is retained;
And an exhaust device for exhausting air from the treatment tank.

  In this waste treatment apparatus, when the exhaust device is driven, the air in the treatment tank is exhausted to the outdoors, and the input container sucks the surrounding air accordingly. At this time, when the inlet is closed by the lid member, air is sucked from the air inlet. Further, when the inlet is opened without being closed by the lid member, air is sucked from the inlet. For this reason, the odor in a processing tank does not spread outside from an input container. In addition, the charging container can suck in the ambient odor and exhaust it to the outside.

  Therefore, the waste treatment apparatus of the present invention does not emit odor from the input container, and the input container can sufficiently suck and exhaust the surrounding odor.

  The treatment tank may contain a carrier carrying microorganisms and be capable of decomposing waste. In this case, organic waste (e.g., human waste, garbage, paper, pet feces, pruned branches, weeds, etc.) discharged from the household that has been put into the input container can be decomposed by microorganisms in the treatment tank. . For this reason, the organic waste discharged | emitted from a household can be processed favorably. In addition, warm fresh air (oxygen) in the room where the input container is installed can be introduced into the treatment tank, so that the activity of microorganisms can be activated and organic wastes can be decomposed well. be able to.

  The air inflow port may be provided with a check valve for preventing air from flowing out from the inside of the input container. In this case, when the exhaust device is not driven and the air inlet of the lid member does not suck the surrounding air, the air inlet is closed by the check valve. For this reason, it can prevent reliably that the odor in a processing tank diverges from an air inflow port.

  A plurality of input containers are installed in different indoors and outdoors, and the discharge port of each input container can communicate with a treatment tank installed under the floor. In this case, the waste generated inside and outside each room can be put into the charging container on the spot. For this reason, waste can be processed easily.

  The input container may be a toilet, the input port may be an upper end opening of the toilet bowl, the lid member may be a toilet lid, and the output port may be a lower end opening of an exhaust pipe communicating with the toilet bowl. In this case, human waste can be easily processed.

  The input container has a receiving member that temporarily holds an object supplied from the input port, and the receiving member can allow the air in the input container to flow into the processing tank by driving the exhaust device. In this case, when an object other than waste is accidentally charged into the input container, the object is temporarily held by the receiving member, and can be picked up without falling into the processing tank. Further, the receiving member allows the air in the input container to flow into the processing tank when the exhaust device is driven. Therefore, the input container sucks air from the air inlet or the input port, and the odor in the processing tank. Does not diverge to the outside. In addition, the charging container can suck in the ambient odor and exhaust it to the outside.

  A first embodiment embodying a waste treatment apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the charging container 30 installed outdoors includes a housing 30A, an inner container 36 integrated in the housing 30A, and a lid member 32 having one end pivotally supported by the housing 30A. It has. The upper end opening 31 of the inner container 36 is an input port, and the lower end opening 35 formed at the lower end is a discharge port. The lower end opening 35 is connected to the upper end of the communication pipe 42.

  The lower end opening 35 is provided with a substantially flat receiving member 35A. 35 A of receiving members are rotatably hold | maintained at the hanging piece extended from a part of lower end opening 35 at one end of a periphery, and have a clearance gap with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the lower end opening 35 and the communicating pipe 42 normally. Is located in a substantially horizontal state. For this reason, when an object other than organic waste such as a pruned branch is accidentally put into the inner container 36, the object 35A holds the object, so that it can be picked up. The other end of the receiving member 35 </ b> A rotates downward by operating an operation lever (not shown), and is positioned in a substantially vertical state. As a result, organic waste such as pruned branches held by the receiving member 35 </ b> A is discharged from the lower end opening 35 into the communication pipe 42.

  The lower inner surface of the inner container 36 is formed in a curved surface so as to be narrowed toward the lower end opening 35. For this reason, organic waste such as pruned branches thrown from the upper end opening 31 smoothly falls toward the lower end opening 35.

  The lid member 32 rotates about a shaft support portion (not shown) and can open and close the upper end opening 31 of the inner container 36 that is a charging port. The lid member 32 is provided with an air inflow port 33. The air inlet 33 is provided with a check valve 34 having a structure similar to that of the check valve 24 of the charging container 20 installed in the bathroom lavatory 2 or the like.

  The lower end opening 15 which is the discharge port of the Western-style toilet 10 installed in the toilet room 1, the lower end opening 25 which is the discharge port of the input container 20 installed in the bathroom 1 and the kitchen 3, and the outdoor installation The lower ends of the respective communication pipes 42 connected to the lower end openings 35 that are the discharge ports of the input container 30 are connected to a treatment tank 40 disposed under the floor. For this reason, organic waste such as human waste, paper, and pruned branches discharged from the lower end openings 15, 25, and 35 of the Western-style toilet 10 and the input containers 20 and 30 is input into the treatment tank 40. In the treatment tank 40, sawdust, which is a carrier 41 carrying microorganisms, is stored, and the introduced organic waste can be decomposed. An exhaust device 50 is connected to the processing tank 40. The exhaust device 50 includes an exhaust pipe 51 that communicates with the outside of the processing tank 40 and a fan 52 that is disposed in the middle of the exhaust pipe 51 and is rotated by a motor (not shown).

  In the waste treatment apparatus of the first embodiment configured as described above, when the exhaust device 50 is driven and the fan 52 rotates, the air in the treatment tank 40 passes through the exhaust pipe 51 and is exhausted outdoors. Accordingly, the air in the toilet bowl 16 and the inner containers 26 and 36 is sucked from the gaps around the receiving members 18A, 25A and 35A, and the Western-style toilet 10 and the input containers 20 and 30 suck the surrounding air. can do. At this time, when the input port (the upper end opening 11 of the toilet bowl 16 and the upper end openings 21 and 31 of the inner containers 26 and 36) is closed by the toilet lid 12 or the lid members 22 and 32, Air is sucked from 23 and 33. Further, when the inlet is opened without being closed by the toilet lid 12 or the lid members 22 and 32, air is sucked from the inlet. For this reason, the odor in the processing tank 40 does not diverge from the Western-style toilet 10 and the input containers 20 and 30 to the outside. Moreover, the Western-style toilet 10 and the input containers 20 and 30 can suck in the surrounding odor and exhaust it to the outdoors.

  Therefore, the waste treatment apparatus of Example 1 does not emit odor from the Western-style toilet 10 and the input containers 20 and 30, and the Western-style toilet 10 and the input containers 20 and 30 sufficiently suck the surrounding odor, Can be exhausted.

  In the toilet room 1, human waste or pet feces can be put into the treatment tank 40 from the Western-style toilet 10. In the toilet room 2, paper and the like used in the toilet room 2 can be input into the treatment tank 40 from the input container 20. In the kitchen 3, raw garbage can be put into the treatment tank 40 from the charging container 20. Outdoors, pruned branches, weeds, and the like can be introduced into the treatment tank 40 from the input container 30. These organic wastes introduced into the treatment tank 40 are decomposed by microorganisms in the treatment tank 40. In this way, organic waste generated inside and outside each room can be put into the charging containers 20 and 30 on the spot, and can be treated well.

  Moreover, since warm fresh air (oxygen) in the toilet room 1, the bathroom 1 and the kitchen 3 can be introduced into the treatment tank 40, the activity of microorganisms can be activated, and organic matter disposal Goods can be decomposed well.

  In addition, since the air inlets 13, 23, 33 provided in the toilet lid 12 and the lid members 22, 32 are provided with check valves 14, 24, 34, the exhaust device 50 is not driven, and the intake air When the ambient air is not sucked from the inlets 13, 23, 33, the air inlets 13, 23, 33 are closed by the check valves 14, 24, 34. For this reason, it can prevent reliably that the odor in the processing tank 40 diverges from the air inflow ports 13,23,33.

  In the above, the present invention has been described with reference to the first embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to the first embodiment, and it is needless to say that the present invention can be appropriately modified and applied without departing from the spirit of the present invention. .

  For example, the exhaust device may start exhausting when the lid member opens the inlet, and then the lid member closes the inlet and stops exhausting after a set time has elapsed. If it does in this way, while the cover member has opened the inlet, indoor air will be sucked from the inlet and odor will be prevented from flowing into the room from the processing tank. Further, the indoor air is sucked to ventilate the room until the set time elapses after the lid member closes the inlet. Thereby, no odor remains in the room. Further, since the driving of the exhaust device is stopped, energy saving can be achieved.

Only the western-style toilet 10 may be communicated with the treatment tank 40. In this case, the treatment tank 40 may be a septic tank.
The Western-style toilet 10 may be a Western-style toilet having a general shape. Moreover, a simple flush toilet may be used. A Japanese-style toilet may be used.
The urinal may communicate with the processing tank 40. In this case, a lid member that covers the opening of the bowl surface of the urinal may be provided.

The air inlets 13, 23, 33 may not be provided with a check valve.
When the operation lever is operated and one end of each of the receiving members 18A, 25A, and 35A rotates downward and is positioned in a substantially vertical state, the rotational speed of the fan 52 of the exhaust device may be increased. If it does in this way, it can prevent more reliably that the odor in the processing tank 40 diffuses from the Western-style toilet 10 and the input containers 20 and 30 to the exterior.
The Western-style toilet 10 and the input containers 20 and 30 may not have the receiving members 18A, 25A, and 35A.
The treatment tank 40 may be provided with a stirring device that stirs the carrier carrying the microorganisms and the organic waste. In this case, the decomposition of the waste is performed better.
The charging container 30 installed outdoors may have a structure in which rainwater or the like does not enter the inside.
