Description of the Related Art Conventional garbage disposal machines include a disposer for crushing garbage and flowing it to sewage, and a garbage dewatering machine for crushing, dewatering and collecting garbage. Disposers pollute rivers and cause environmental pollution in areas without sewage treatment facilities. On the other hand, a garbage dewatering machine collects dehydrated garbage, so that it does not directly cause environmental pollution. However, if the collected garbage is left undisturbed, it easily rots and generates an odor. For this reason, dewatered and collected garbage must be stored at low temperatures, frequently be sent to public garbage collection points, and must be disposed of, causing environmental pollution. Had the problem of hanging.

To solve this problem, a garbage disposer has been proposed in which garbage is pulverized and dried to reduce the original volume and weight, prevent rot, and reduce the time required for post-processing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the structure of the first to fourth means,
1 is a heat insulating container (in FIG. 1, for example, shows a vacuum heat insulating container which is constituted by an inner wall and an outer wall and the space between them is evacuated), and 2 is a garbage storage container installed in the heat insulating container 1. A fixed blade 3 and a rotary blade 4 are provided in the garbage container 2 as means for crushing and stirring garbage. The fixed blade 3 is provided on the inner wall of the garbage container 2, and the rotary blade 4 is fixed to a rotating shaft 5 protruding from the bottom surface of the garbage container 2. Is engaged with a drive shaft 8 via a drive motor 6 and a speed reduction device 7. Above the garbage storage container 2, a heater 9 and a stirring fan 10 as garbage heating means are provided. 1

A condensing unit 12 and a blower fan 13 are installed on the outer periphery of the heat insulating container 1. The condensed water outflow pipe 1 is located below the condensing section 12.
4. An exhaust pipe 15 is provided. Condensate outflow pipe 1
A condensed water container 16 is provided at the tip of 4. A deodorizing device 17 (or a catalyst device) is provided behind the exhaust pipe 15. Reference numeral 18 denotes a garbage disposal main body, and reference numeral 19 denotes a lid. The lid 19 is supported by a hinge 20 and can be freely opened and closed on the garbage disposer main body 18.
Then, the lid 19 and the kitchen waste disposal machine main body 18 are fixed, and the garbage storage container 2 is closed. Reference numeral 23 denotes an unlock button of the latch 22.

The operation of the garbage disposal machine configured as described above will be described. First, the garbage put into the garbage storage container 2 is sufficiently heated at the upper portion of the garbage surface by a heater 9 and a stirring fan 10 as garbage heating means. Since the crushing and agitation by driving the rotary blade 4 are not performed until a predetermined time (about 30 minutes when the heater is 400 watts) after the start of heating, the volume is not reduced. Without being separated from the mixing fan 9 and the stirring fan 10, the upper surface of the garbage is effectively and rapidly heated to evaporate the water, and this steam further obtains heat and becomes superheated steam.
When the rotary blade 4 is driven and the fixed blade 3 is subsequently crushed and agitated, the upper portion of the garbage, which has reduced moisture, mixes with the interior still containing a large amount of moisture and absorbs water. On the other hand, the garbage is dried at an accelerated rate with the superheated steam in addition to the heating by the garbage heating means, and the drying time can be shortened.

Steam containing odor components is generated from the garbage, flows into the condensing section 12, is cooled and condensed by the blower fan 13, and is condensed water outflow pipe 14 connected to the condensing section 12.
And accumulated in the condensed water container 16. On the other hand, the water vapor containing the odor component that has not been completely condensed is guided from the exhaust pipe 15 to the deodorization device 17 and the catalyst device, where the odor component is purified. Although the crushed and dried garbage remains in the garbage storage container 2, the garbage is reduced in bulk and dried to reduce the water activity. It does not rot or mold. Therefore,
Until the garbage storage container 2 becomes full, the garbage can be put on the dried garbage one after another and dried.
In this case, the upper surface of the added garbage is closer to the heater 9 and the stirring fan 10 as the heating means than in the first time, and the heating of the upper surface is accelerated, and the crushing and stirring by the driving of the rotary blade 4 are performed later. In addition, the refuse after the drying treatment is mixed with the inside still containing a large amount of water and absorbs water, so that the subsequent drying is further accelerated and the drying time can be shortened. Then, by periodically collecting and treating the dried garbage remaining in the garbage storage container 2 and the condensed water accumulated in the condensed water container 16, there is no environmental pollution as in the related art, and there is no need to perform post-processing every time. .

In the second means, as shown in FIG. 2, the ability of the heater 9 as the garbage heating means is maximized in the early stage of drying to speed up the drying speed of garbage, and after a predetermined time, that is, at the end of drying. By shifting down the heating capacity to one or more stages, the cooling time after completion of drying can be shortened, and the processing time including the drying time and the cooling time can be shortened. In addition, overdrying of garbage can be prevented by downshifting the heating capacity, and the processed material is not crushed into pieces, thereby facilitating disposal.

In the third means, the start of driving of the rotary blade 4 is set within 60 minutes after the start of heating when a time for sufficiently heating the upper surface of the garbage is checked.
By setting the capacity shift down of 60 minutes after the start of heating, the drying process of garbage can be more completely achieved and the drying time can be shortened. In addition, although the predetermined time was set to 60 minutes, there is no problem if it is in the range of 50 to 70 minutes.

In the fourth means, a stirring fan 10 is provided in addition to the heater 9 as the heating means, and is covered with a guard member 25 having a plurality of ventilation holes 24 on the lower surface.
Numeral 5 is comprised of the garbage storage container 2 which is overwrapped from the upper surface of the garbage container 2 and is contained therein. The air flow released from the stirring fan 10 passes through the garbage heating means to obtain heat and
Is discharged spirally downward along the inner wall of the garbage member 25 and spirally discharged downward along the inner wall of the garbage container without leaking from the overlapped garbage container 2. The hot air reaches the garbage to enhance the drying effect and shorten the drying time.

In the fifth means, as shown in FIG. 3, a seal member 26 is mounted on the outer edge of the guard member 25, and a heater 9 and a stirring fan 10 as the heating means are mounted. Since the heater 9 is detachably attached to the heater substrate 27 by screws 28, the heater 9
The maintenance of the stirring fan 10, and the seal member 26 can be easily performed.
