And a stirring fan 29 for stirring the water. A cooling fan 30 for stirring and cooling the inside of the lid 26 is provided on a rotating shaft of the motor 28 opposite to the stirring fan 29. The lid 26 has an intake port 30 communicating with the outside air at a bearing of the motor 28.

The garbage in the processing container 21 is heated by a heater 27 and dried by air uniformly stirred by a stirring fan 29. The steam generated by heating the garbage flows from the upper part of the processing container 21 to the pipe 31 through the discharge port 34 provided in the lid 26, and further flows to the deodorizing catalyst 3.
After being deodorized, it is exhausted outside the machine. A centrifugal fan 36 is provided on the discharge side of the deodorizing catalyst 33 and sucks steam generated from the processing container 21 to the deodorizing catalyst 33 side.

The conventional configuration has the following problems. That is, when the lid 26 is formed of a resin material, heat radiation from the lid 26 is poor, and
Simply stirring the inside with the cooling fan 30 does not lower the temperature inside the lid 26, and the temperature of the windings of the motor 28 and the temperature of the bearings exceed the allowable temperature. Alternatively, there has been a problem that the surface temperature of the lid 26 is abnormally high, giving the user an uneasy feeling.

As a countermeasure, it is conceivable to increase the size of the lid 26, to use a sheet metal material having good heat dissipation, to provide a heat insulating material in the lid 26, or to increase the heat resistance of components such as the motor 28. However, in such a case, the lid 26 becomes heavy and the operability of opening and closing the lid 26 deteriorates, or the strength of the hinge portion supporting the lid 26 is required to be increased, and as a result, the cost is increased. There were challenges.

When the heater 27 is provided on the lid 26,
Since the heat of the heater 27 is directly conducted to the lid 26, it has been difficult to form the lid 26 from a resin material.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive and easy-to-use garbage disposal apparatus by reducing the weight of a lid.

A substantially circular heater 5 is provided below the lid 3.
A heater cover 6 surrounding the heater 5 is provided, and a fan 7 is rotatably arranged on the inner peripheral side of the heater 5. The fan 7 is fixed to one end of the rotation shaft of the motor 9, and the cooling fan 8 is fixed to the other end of the rotation shaft of the motor 9. The motor 9 and the heater 5 are mounted on a heater mounting plate 10. The motor 9 has a bearing 9 a fixed by a motor support member 11 fixed to the heater mounting plate 10. The motor support member 11 is provided with an intake port 11 a that opens into the processing container 21. Note that the heater 5 and the fan 7 constitute a hot air generating unit.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a partition plate constituting the lower surface of the lid 3, and
The heater mounting plate 10 is thermally fastened to the partition plate 12 by screws via a spacer 13 made of an insulator or the like.
For fixing the partition wall 12 and the lid 3, as shown in FIG. 3, a fastening portion 14 is provided on the back surface side of the lid 3, and the partition plate 12 is fastened to the fastening portion 14 by screws. The position of the fastening portion 14 is located outside the processing container 21, and preferably,

The buckle 4 is provided with an inlet 4a of an intake passage 16 and is configured to be cooled by introduced outside air. In addition, processing container 2
As shown in FIG. 2, an opening 10a facing the processing vessel 21 is provided in a part of the heater mounting plate 10, and one end of the connection pipe 18 is connected to the opening 10a in order to discharge the steam generated from the outside 1 to the outside. Then, the other end of the connecting pipe 18 is connected to a pipe 31 that leads to a deodorizing catalyst.

The operation of the above configuration is as follows.
That is, the garbage in the processing container 21 is heated and dried by the hot air generated by the heater 5 and the fan 7, and the generated steam is exhausted out of the processing container 21 through the connecting pipe 18, and fresh air is discharged from the intake port 11 a. It is introduced into the processing container 21 to promote drying of garbage. The outside air is sucked by the cooling fan 8 through the intake passage 16, and is exhausted from the exhaust passage 17 while cooling the winding of the motor 9, the bearing 9 a, and the inside of the lid 3 sequentially. A part of the sucked outside air is drawn into the processing container 2 from the intake port 11a while directly cooling the bearing 9a of the motor 9 via the intake port 11. By separating the intake passage 16 and the exhaust passage 17 in this way, the inside of the lid 3 and the motor 9 can be reliably cooled efficiently.

Even when the main body 39 is installed so that its side surface and rear portion are in close contact with the wall, the cooling effect is maintained because outside air is always sucked from the entrance 4a of the intake passage 16 provided at the front. Since the garbage disposal device is provided with a buckle 4 for opening and closing the lid 3 in front, the front of the main body 39 must be placed close to the wall in view of the operability of opening and closing the lid 3. Therefore, if the entrance 4a of the intake passage 16 is arranged forward, the entrance 4a will not be blocked. Further, the buckle 4 which the user touches most is connected to the entrance 4a of the intake passage 16.
Is provided, so that the buckle 4 is always cooled, and the user does not feel uneasy.

On the other hand, the heat of the heater 5 is directly transferred to the lid 3 because the heater mounting plate 10 and the partition plate 12 are heat-insulated and fastened via the spacer 13. And the user is not anxious. Further, since the lid 3 can be made of a resinous material, the weight and the lid operability are improved and the cost is reduced.

Further, since the fastening portion 14 between the partition plate 12 and the lid 3 is provided outside the processing vessel 2, the cooling effect is great because it comes into direct contact with the outside air, and the lid 3 is made of a resin material. Even if it does, it can fully support the weight and increase safety.

(Embodiment 2) A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.
The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

In the figure, reference numeral 20 denotes a tube (outside air introduction path) connecting the intake passage 16 and the intake port 11. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

The operation of the above configuration is as follows.
In other words, the bearing 9a of the motor 9 which is apt to receive the heat of the heater 5 can be directly cooled by the outside air.
The cooling performance can be improved as compared with the case where the motor 9 is cooled by the wind after cooling as in the first embodiment, and the entire lid 3 can be reduced in size without having to increase the size of the cooling fan 8.
