Reference numeral 12 denotes a spiral body disposed in the transfer cylinder 9 and rotationally driven by an electric motor 13. The spiral body 12 has a rotating tooth 14 at its tip, and feeds the material supplied from the material input port 10 to the tip by rotation of the spiral body 12. Transport,
It is designed to be crushed by the rotating teeth 14 and the fixed teeth 11 and to be discharged from the garbage discharge port at the tip. Reference numeral 15 denotes a guide member provided at the end of the transfer cylinder 9. As shown in FIG. 2, a rotation direction side of a processing tank 16, which will be described later, that is, a right side on which the processing tank 16 rotates, is opened. The kitchen waste discharged from the machine 7 is efficiently mixed with a processing medium 28 described later.

A processing tank 16 is rotatably supported on the support base 8 via a pair of bearings 17 and 18, and is formed of a corrosion-resistant material such as synthetic resin or stainless steel. A plurality of stirring ribs 19 are formed to project inward. The tip of the transfer cylinder 9 penetrates a bearing 17 that supports one side of the processing tank 16, and passes through the center of rotation of the processing tank 16.
The garbage discharge port faces the inside of the treatment tank 16, and one side of the treatment tank 16 and the transfer cylinder 9 of the crusher 7 are supported by the support 8 supporting the bearing 17. Reference numeral 20 denotes a drive shaft fixed to the other side of the processing tank 16, to which a sprocket 21 is fixed.

Reference numeral 22 denotes an electric motor having a sprocket mounted on its rotating shaft.
23 is fixed, and the processing tank 16 is rotated via a chain 24 provided between the sprockets 21 and 23.
Numeral 25 is a small hole formed in the processing tank 16, which is formed in such a size that a processing medium 28 described later does not leak, and the processing medium 28 removes water and carbon dioxide gas generated by decomposing kitchen waste.
It is designed to discharge to 16 outside.

Reference numeral 26 denotes a drain pan disposed below the treatment tank 16, which receives water discharged from the treatment tank 16 and receives a drain pipe.
The water is drained to the drain pipe 5 through 27.

A processing medium 28 is accommodated in the processing tank 16. The treatment medium 28 is a woody sludge such as sawdust, rice bran, rice bran, a microorganism culture substrate such as soil, and in this example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-3679 (C02F 11/02) `` Sludge of woody sludge. The microorganism culture substrate shown in "Microbial treatment method" is used. When the garbage is put into the processing medium 28 and mixed, bacilli and cocci are generated, the garbage is corroded by the bacillus, and the bacterium is eaten and decomposed into water and carbon dioxide gas to extinguish the garbage.

At the time of cooking, as shown in FIG. 2, the material pressing rod 6 is inserted into the material inlet 10 of the crusher 7 to close the opening of the drainage basket 3. In this state, water from the sink 2 is drained to the drain pipe 5 via the drainage basket 3.

When processing kitchen waste, as shown in FIG.
The material pressing rod 6 is removed, and the electric motor 13 is driven by operating a switch (not shown) to rotate the helical body 12. Insert The garbage put into the crusher 7 from the material input port 10 is transferred to the tip side of the transfer cylinder 9 by the spiral body 12, crushed by the fixed teeth 11 and the rotating teeth 14, and discharged to the treatment tank 16.

The electric motor 22 for rotating the processing tank 16 starts rotating simultaneously with the electric motor 13 of the crusher 7 and starts rotating.
The garbage discharged from the processing medium is treated
Mixed with 28. Since the guide body 15 covers the garbage discharge port of the crusher 7 in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the processing tank 16 and opens the garbage discharge port of the crusher 7 in the rotation direction of the processing tank 16, the processing medium is opened.
As shown in FIG. 2, 28 rotates together with the processing tank 16 with the rotation of the processing tank 16, reaches the uppermost position, and falls by its own weight. Therefore, the processing medium 28 does not cover the rotation direction side of the processing tank 16 of the garbage discharge port of the crusher 7 where the guide body 15 is opened, and the garbage is efficiently discharged from the garbage discharge port of the crusher 7. The garbage discharged from the garbage discharge port of the crusher 7 is caught in the falling processing medium 28 and is efficiently mixed.

Then, with the rotation of the processing tank 16, the processing tank
The stirring ribs 19 formed on the inner surface of the processing tank 16 move the garbage and the processing medium 28 to the side of the processing tank 16 facing the pulverizer 7 to prevent the garbage from being concentrated on a part of the processing tank 16 and to remove the garbage. And the processing medium 28 to improve the mixing efficiency, thereby improving the processing efficiency.

When the input of the garbage into the material input port 10 is completed, the operation is stopped by operating a switch (not shown). However, the garbage remains in the crusher 7 and the garbage rots in the crusher 7. In order to prevent this, after the switch is stopped, the electric motor 13 of the crusher 7 is stopped after a lapse of time sufficient for the garbage in the crusher 7 to be discharged to the treatment tank 16. Further, in order to sufficiently mix the garbage supplied from the crusher 7 with the processing medium 28, the motor 22 for rotating the processing tank 16 is stopped a predetermined time after the operation of the motor 13 of the crusher 7 is stopped.

The garbage in the treatment tank 16 is decomposed into water and carbon dioxide by can bacteria and cocci which naturally occur in the treatment medium 28 and disappear. Since the garbage supplied to the processing tank 16 is crushed by the crusher 7, the garbage is eliminated in a relatively short time.

[0022]

As described above, according to the constitution of each claim of the present invention, the processing medium and the garbage can be sufficiently mixed, the processing efficiency of the garbage can be improved, and the garbage can be disassembled in a relatively short time. It has effects such as being able to process.
