Next, as a process of sucking the garbage, the open / close valve 6 is opened and the garbage is charged into the garbage input hopper 1 with the open / close valve 5 closed, and at the same time, the water injection nozzle 2 ‥‥ is used.
2 and the shouting is started. The garbage put into the hopper 1 is sent into the receiver tank 4 through the transport line 3 together with the injection water. When the garbage is stored up to a predetermined level in the receiver tank 4 together with the injection water, the open / close valve 7 is closed and the vacuum pump 1
By opening the opening / closing valve 10 while continuing the driving of 1, the inside of the receiver tank 4 becomes a negative pressure, so that the mixed convection between the solid component that has settled down and the liquid component that has accumulated above is performed, and the solid-liquid mixture Is formed in a state in which is easily discharged.

From this state, the process proceeds to the next discharge step.
The on-off valve 7, the on-off valve 15 on the ventilation pipe 13 and the on-off valve 24 on the gas-liquid separation tank 17 are closed, the on-off valve 10 directly below the receiver tank 4, the on-off valve 14 on the intake pipe 12, and the on-off valve 20 on the exhaust pipe 18.

As a result, the discharge pressure of the vacuum pump 11 acts in the receiver tank 4 by the exhaust pipe 18, and the suction force from the discharge pipe 8 by the jet action and the pressing action from the exhaust pipe 18 are generated. Causes a strong solid-liquid discharge action, and the solid-liquid mixture in the receiver tank 4 is transferred into the solid-liquid separation device 9 through the discharge conduit 8, and the liquid separated and extracted by the solid-liquid separation device 9 The liquid is discharged from the liquid outlet 21 and subjected to water treatment by a batch intermittent aeration method or the like, and then discharged. The remaining solid is discharged from the solid discharge port 22 and temporarily stored in the storage tank 23. The stored solids are loaded and carried out on a transport vehicle in a timely manner.

[0013]

According to the present invention, the introduced garbage is sucked by the wind pressure together with the shower water, so that it can be prevented from adhering to the garbage charging hopper and the transport pipe, and the garbage can be transported without breaking its shape. Because it is always under negative pressure, it does not generate odor in the kitchen. In addition, since there is no movable portion in the transport pipeline, smooth transport can be performed without entanglement or clogging. After the garbage and shower water are sucked, the solids that have settled downward and the liquid that has accumulated above in the receiver tank are mixed and convected, and then discharged. There is no danger that the discharge port will be blocked by this, and the solid-liquid discharge is performed smoothly, and the workability is extremely excellent. Also, unlike the slurry pumping method generally used, kitchen garbage does not need to be crushed by a crusher or the like.
There is an advantage that the concentration can be kept low and the load on the water treatment facility can be reduced.
