The air guide plate 41 also has a function of eliminating suction of dust in the main body 2 by the air supply fan device 10 and a function of reinforcing the main body 2. In order to cause the air supply fan device 10 to forcibly exhaust air near the dust inlet 7, any air guide means including the air guide plate 41 can be employed.

In order to forcibly evacuate the air in the main body 2, particularly the air near the dust inlet 7, the dust inlet 7 of the main body 2, which generates a lot of odors, is provided. The air at one end can be preferentially exhausted, and the deodorizing effect by the exhaust can be enhanced.

The air supply fan device 10 includes a main body 2
An exhaust duct 11 for forcibly exhausting the air inside is connected to a drain pipe 12 of the building and a downstream side of the drain trap 13.

In this embodiment, the exhaust duct 11 projects from the air supply fan device 10 and communicates with the drain pipe 12 provided at the sink a of the sink A and the downstream side of the drain trap 13 as shown in FIG. You.

Therefore, even when the main body 2 of the apparatus 1 is installed inside a building, the exhaust duct 11 communicates with the drain pipe 12 on the downstream side of the drain trap 13, so that the odor flows backward into the building such as a room. This can be prevented by the drain trap 13, and the odor can be prevented from leaking into the building.

When the lid f for opening and closing the dust inlet such as the sink dust inlet b is opened, this is detected,
A switch for activating the air supply fan device 10 when the garbage is input may be provided. Further, the switch operates the air supply fan device 10 when the garbage is input and when the device 1 is subsequently operated. You may make it do.

In the fermentation of garbage using the apparatus 1, wood chips are used as a culture bed for fermenting bacteria. More specifically, the first time, the dust input port 7 is provided in the main body 2.
Then, raw garbage, fermentation bacteria, and wood chips to be a culture bed of the fermentation bacteria are put in, and only the garbage is put in the next time. Raw garbage and the like may be stored in an organic fermentable bag and charged.

Also, by heating by the stirring device 3,
The temperature in the main body 2 is, for example, 40 to more uniformly heating the garbage and the fermentation bacteria for processing the garbage to the optimum temperature.
The temperature can be maintained at about 60 ° C., and the processing of garbage can be speeded up and can be performed evenly. At this time, the heater as the heat source 6 is set to, for example, about 55 to 80 ° C.

The temperature in the main body 2 is detected by the temperature sensor 46. When the temperature exceeds, for example, 80 ° C., the power supply to the heater is interrupted by the switch 47 and the temperature returns to 80 ° C. or less. When the temperature exceeds 90 ° C., for example, the fuse 49 is blown and the heater is disconnected.

It is preferable that the rotating shaft 4 of the stirring device 3 rotates intermittently, and further, it is preferable that the rotating shaft 4 alternately rotates in the normal and reverse directions. As an example of this, a positive rotation of 5 minutes, 1
This is repeated one or more times with a 5-minute stop, a 5-minute reverse rotation, and a 15-minute stop (rotation during rotation is, for example, 1 to 1.5 rpm) as one cycle. At this time, the heating by the heat source 6 is continued without interruption. Also, in this example, the rotation time rate (25% duty) is about 25%, but the rotation time rate is automatically set appropriately in the range of 10 to 60% depending on the water content of the garbage and the like.

As described above, by intermittently stirring the garbage by the stirring device 3, the garbage adjacent to the rotating shaft 4 and / or the stirring paddle 5 is kept at a relatively high temperature while the rotating shaft 4 is stopped. When heated, the garbage in that part is surely evaporated and dried, and becomes a dry powder, which can be a culture bed for fermentation bacteria like wood chips.

Accordingly, the amount of wood chips that become the culture bed contained in the fermented garbage discharged from the ripening tank 22 is reduced as follows.
The garbage is supplemented with the dried powder, so that wood chips need not be replenished.

Further, by alternately rotating forward and backward,
Garbage can be more quickly and evenly processed.

The raw garbage is stirred and fermented inside the fermentation tank 21 and gradually approaches a completely fermented state as it is moved to the ripe tank 22 side by adding fresh garbage. The fermentation tank 22 is moved to the maturation tank 22 over 20 and the fermentation in the maturation tank 22 turns to garbage that can be used as compost to reduce the volume.

The outlet 9 is formed by the other end of a discharge chute 50 having one end connected to the ripe bath 22 and inclined downward toward the other end, as shown in FIG. The discharge port 9 is interrupted above the treated product take-out container 52 and stores the fermented garbage (hereinafter, also referred to as a treated product) in the matured tank 22 in the treated product take-out container 52.

Although the one end of the discharge chute 50 is located above the lower end of the receiving plate 17 of the main body 2 as shown in FIG. This allows the fermented garbage to be discharged to the discharge chute 50 while stirring the fermented garbage.

The container for taking out the processed product 52 is shown in FIGS.
As shown in the figure, the fermented garbage can be taken out by being freely taken in and out from an opening E provided at the lower end of the front surface of the sink A, and the processing product take-out container 52 is inserted into the opening E through the opening E. The lid 53 of E is pushed up, and the lid 52 </ b> A at the rear of the upper surface of the processed product removal container 52 is pulled up along the upper surface of the discharge chute 50.

When the container 52 is taken out from the opening E, the drive means 34 is operated by a switch L such as a limit switch provided on the upper surface of the base plate 54 on which the container 52 is placed. The rotation of the rotating shaft 4 is stopped and the stirring is stopped, the flow of the processed product from the lower end of the discharge chute 50 is prevented, and the careless drop of the processed product onto the base plate 54 is prevented.

Further, after the garbage is introduced into the main body 2 from the garbage inlet 7, the operation is automatically performed, for example, for 48 hours, and then the operation is stopped until the re-injection.
1 is disposed at an arbitrary position, for example, at the front of the receiving plate 17 and above the discharge chute 50;
4, the heat source 6, the air supply fan device 10, etc., are connected using connection means such as a cord.

The maintenance of the main body 2 can be easily performed by opening the front door A2 of the sink A, and the garbage can be easily and promptly introduced from the sink entrance of the sink. In addition, since the main body 2 is installed in the closed space S which is hardly affected by the outside air temperature, the temperature in the main body 2 can be maintained more reliably, the garbage disposal can be performed evenly and more quickly, and the running cost can be reduced. In addition, the sink A can be manufactured as a built-in type, so that the construction can be simplified and the internal dead space behind the sink a can be effectively used. In addition, the labor for transporting the garbage itself to the outdoors can be eliminated, and the fermented garbage can be taken out indoors, and furthermore, the main body 2 is not exposed indoors and does not impair the appearance.

The main unit 2 may be installed in a facing kitchen, an island kitchen, or the like that does not contact the outer wall.

At the rear edge of the discharge port 9 of the discharge chute 50, a shielding plate 56 for shielding the discharge port 9 by taking out the processed product take-out container 52, and a projecting piece 57A hanging from the rear end and provided at the front end. The shield plate 56 is pushed up by the insertion of the processed product take-out container 52 from the opening E, and the shield plate 56 opens the discharge port 9, and rises from both side edges of the shield plate 56 and both sides of the discharge chute 50. A rear edge of the shielding plate 56 of a lid member 60 composed of trapezoidal side plates 59, 59 along the surface is pivotally attached. The lid member 6
0 is always set by an elastic body (not shown) such as a spring.
The shielding plate 56 is urged in a direction to shield the outlet 9.

As described above, the cover member 6 is connected to the outlet 9.
Since the rotation of the rotating shaft 4 is stopped by the switch L when the container 52 for taking out the processed product is taken out, the processed product of the garbage that has accumulated due to the attachment inside the discharge chute 50 drops from the discharge port 9. Can be reliably prevented by the shielding plate 56.

Further, the side plates 59, 59 close the gap on the processed product take-out container 52 below the discharge port 9 by inserting the processed product take-out container 52 to prevent the processed product from spilling over. The product is reliably guided into the processing product removal container 52 together with the shielding plate 56 and dropped.
