[0009]

(Embodiment 1) A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. Since the configuration of the lid is different from that of the conventional garbage processing apparatus, the lid will be mainly described, and the same components as those in the conventional example will be denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 39 denotes a main body.
A storage unit 24 is provided in the storage unit 9, and the processing container 21 is detachably stored in the storage unit 24. 3 is a lid,
It is rotatable around a rotation shaft (not shown) provided on the upper rear part of the main body 39, and a buckle 4 is provided in front of the lid 3.
The buckle 4 is engaged with an engaging portion provided at an upper front portion of the main body 39 to keep the lid 3 closed.

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. Motor 9
The bearing 9a is 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 11a that opens into the processing container 21. The heater 5 and the fan 7
These constitute the hot air generating means.

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,
It is arranged outside the lid packing 15 provided on the outer periphery of the partition plate 12. That is, the lid packing 15 and the processing container 21
Is tightly attached to the upper flange, so that hot air from the processing container 21 does not leak outside the lid packing 15. By providing the fastening portion 14 outside the lid packing 15, heat influence is eliminated. be able to.

An intake passage 16 for guiding outside air to the cooling fan 8 is provided in front of the lid 3, and an exhaust passage through which exhaust after cooling the motor 9 and the like by the cooling fan 8 is disposed behind the lid 3. A passage 17 is provided, and the passages 16 and 17 are separated so that air does not leak. 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 and rear portions are in close contact with the wall, the outside air is always sucked from the entrance 4a of the intake passage 16 provided at the front, so that the cooling effect is maintained. 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 thermally 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 large 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.

Reference Example Hereinafter, a reference example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In addition,
The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals,
The description is omitted.

In FIG. 1, 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.
