  The operation and action of the garbage processing machine configured as described above will be described.

First, the lid 24 at the top of the garbage processing machine 11 is opened, and the garbage is put into the garbage storage container 12. At that time, the discharge port 32 of the garbage storage container 12 is kept sealed by the discharge port lid 33. Next, the garbage put into the garbage storage container 12 after the lid 24 is closed is agitated by the rotary blade 14 that performs forward and reverse rotation intermittently, and at the same time by the rotary blade 14 and the fixed blade 13. It is crushed. Garbage is heated by warm air generated by the heater 20 and the blower fan 19, and water vapor is generated from the heated garbage.

  The water vapor containing the generated odor is sucked by suction means comprising an exhaust fan 28 and an exhaust fan motor 29 and introduced into the deodorization device 31 through the discharge port 30 and the exhaust passage 23 at the upper part of the garbage storage container 12. The steam containing the odor introduced into the deodorizing device 31 is discharged outside after the odor is removed by the deodorizing device 31. Fresh air is always sucked into the garbage storage container 12 from the air inlet 26, and the steam during drying is smoothly sucked into the deodorizing device 31 side, so that the reattachment of odor to the dry waste is also suppressed. . Therefore, during drying, there is no off-flavor, and it is easy to discard, and since the water activity is reduced after drying, it does not rot or mold. Therefore, it can be converted into garbage that is easier to handle and easier to handle than garbage.

  After finishing the garbage drying process, the heater 20 is turned off, and the blower fan 19, the rotary blade 14, and the exhaust fan 28 are stopped. Next, the compression plate 49, which is a dust compression means, is lowered to compress dry waste and general waste. At this time, if the compression plate 49 is not lowered to a predetermined position by being compressed with a predetermined force, it is detected that the garbage in the trash box 38 is full and is notified by a notification means (not shown). Since the person knows that the trash can 38 is full, no trash spills out of the trash can 38.

  If the trash can 38 is not full, the compression plate 49 is raised. Next, the discharge port lid 33 is operated to open the discharge port 32. In this state, the drive motor 15 is turned on and the rotary blade 14 is rotated for a predetermined time. Due to the rotating operation of the rotary blade 14, the dry waste is dropped from the garbage storage container 12 to the waste bin 38 through the discharge port 32 and the discharge passage 35. Therefore, the user can move dry waste from the garbage storage container 12 to the waste bin 38 without getting his hands dirty.

  If a garbage bag (not shown) is set in the garbage box 38 in advance, the dried garbage transferred from the garbage container 12 to the garbage box 38 is stored in the garbage bag. Next, the drive motor 15 is turned off, the rotary blade 14 is stopped, the rod driving device 37 is operated, the discharge port lid 33 is moved to a position where the discharge port 32 is closed, and the garbage disposal machine 11 is moved. Use to complete one cycle of processing garbage.

  Next, the operation of the trash can 38 will be described. When throwing away the general waste into the waste bin 38, when the handle 44 is pulled forward, the waste bin 38 rotates around the hinge shaft 42, and the opening 38a of the waste bin 38 appears in front. General trash is thrown away into the opening 38 a of the trash box 38. At this time, even if the garbage processing machine 11 performs the discharge operation of the dry waste, the discharge port 32 is located above the opening 38a of the waste bin 38, so that the dry waste spills from the waste bin 38. It is easy to use because you can always throw away general trash.

  When the garbage in the trash box 38 is thrown away when the garbage is full, if the handle 44 is lifted up and pulled up, the hinge shaft 42 is detached from the hinge receiver 43 and the entire trash box 38 can be taken out from the trash box case 41. Therefore, the garbage bag set in the trash box 38 can be taken out from the trash box 38 and discarded, so that dry garbage and general garbage can be easily discarded. After taking out the garbage bag, if another garbage bag is set in the garbage box 38 and stored in the garbage box case 41, the operation of the garbage processor 11 and the disposal of general garbage can be performed immediately.

  As described above, the garbage processing machine according to the present invention integrates the garbage processing machine and the garbage box for throwing away general garbage, so there is little installation space and the garbage processing is mainly installed in the home kitchen. Ideal as a machine.
