(Embodiment 1) Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 and 2, reference numeral 12 denotes a garbage storage container for storing garbage. A fixed blade 13 is provided on an inner wall of the garbage storage container 12. Reference numeral 14 denotes a rotary blade which rotates while intersecting with the fixed blade 13, and is connected to the center shaft 16. The center shaft 16 is driven by the rotation motor 15. Reference numeral 17 denotes a lid, and the tightness between the lid 17 and the food waste container 12 is maintained by pressing the packing 20 attached to the lid side to the food waste container 12. Heating means including a heater 18 and a blower fan 19 is provided below the cover 17, and a protective cover 4 having a plurality of openings 46 is provided.
Covered with 5. 21 is an outlet provided inside the lid 17,
An upper pipe 22 connected to the discharge port 21 is pressed against a lower pipe 26 connected to a deodorizer 25 via a connection packing 24. 23 is a drying motor. A suction unit including a suction fan 27 and a suction motor 28 is provided on the exhaust side of the deodorizing device 25.

The deodorizing device 25 is provided with a catalyst 30 coated with a member for chemically decomposing an odor and a catalyst heater 31 for heating the catalyst 30 to promote a chemical reaction, and is housed in a metal case 32. The water vapor containing the odor generated from the heated garbage is discharged outside after the odor is removed by the deodorizing device 25.

In the above configuration, the air heated by the heater 18 is sent into the garbage container 12 through the opening 46 by the blower fan 19 to heat the garbage. The air in the garbage container 12 moves back and forth through the opening 46 of the protective cover 45, and the temperature of the air in the garbage container is uniformly heated to about 130 ° C. Steam generated from the heated garbage is discharged from an outlet 21 provided inside the lid 17, passes through an upper pipe 22 connected to the outlet 21,
And a lower pipe 26 connected to the deodorizing device 25 via the connecting packing 24 to reach the deodorizing device 25. After the odor is removed by a chemical reaction in the deodorizing device 25, the odor is discharged outside by the suction fan 27. At the same time, the garbage is dried while being stirred and pulverized by the rotating blade 14 rotating while intersecting with the fixed blade 13, and after the drying is completed, the weight is reduced and divided.

The garbage container 12 is made of a high heat-resistant resin having a heat resistance of about 150 ° C. Conventionally, the garbage container 12 has a uniform thickness of about 3 mm in order to secure strength when the garbage container 12 is dropped. However, in the present invention, the bottom surface 40
Is formed thick (about 3 mm) and the side surface 41 is formed thin (about 2 mm). The inside of the garbage storage container 12 is heated to about 130 ° C. by the heating means including the heater 18 and the blower fan 19, and the garbage inside is also heated. At this time, the side surface of the garbage storage container 12 close to the heating means including the heater 18 and the blower fan 19 is formed to be thinner than the conventional one, so that the heat capacity of the side surface is smaller than the conventional one and the temperature is easily raised. Therefore, the garbage can be heated more quickly by the radiant heat because the garbage can be heated faster by the radiant heat, and the temperature of the garbage that touches the garbage storage container 12 at each stirring becomes higher than before. Side 41
Because it touches, it can be heated more.

Therefore, the garbage can be dried in a short time with a higher heating efficiency than the conventional one. Although the side surface 41 is thinner than the conventional product, the bottom surface 40, which is a surface to receive an impact when the garbage storage container 12 is placed or when the garbage storage container 12 is dropped by mistake, is made thicker to cause the same level of cracking as the conventional one. Since no strength is secured, it is possible to maintain strength that does not hinder practical use.

In this embodiment, the thickness of the side surface is made uniform and thin, but the upper part of the side surface 41 is made thinner to reduce the heat capacity of the garbage container near the heater 18 and to reduce the side surface 41.
Needless to say, the above effect can also be obtained in a form in which the side surface is gradually changed to a thicker thickness as it goes down to secure the strength of the bottom portion. In that case, the change in wall thickness becomes smooth, so that the moldability of the garbage storage container is improved. Of course, the thickness of the bottom surface may be gradually changed. In short, a thin portion is provided to reduce the heat capacity, and the bottom portion or the lower portion of the side surface may have a thick portion to maintain necessary strength. There is no particular regulation on how to change the thickness.

The material of the garbage container 12 is made of a high heat-resistant resin. The material contains 30 to 40% of glass fiber. The glass fiber having a length of 0.1 to 3 mm is taken into consideration by providing a vent at the upper end of the side surface 41 so that the resin flow at the top flows from the bottom to the top over the entire circumference. It is oriented parallel along the direction. Since glass fibers undergo less dimensional change due to heat than resin, the garbage storage container 12 has less heat shrinkage in the height direction due to the glass fibers arranged in the height direction, and has stable dimensions. Therefore, the garbage storage container 12 and the packing 20
There is little change in the pressure allowance and the tightness is stably ensured, so that odor leakage and the like can be prevented.

Further, on the bottom surface, the garbage storage container 1
2 At the time of molding, the glass fiber having a length of 0.1 to 3 mm is applied to the bottom surface 40 in consideration of, for example, positioning the gate at the center so that the resin flow on the bottom surface 40 flows from the center of the bottom surface toward the outer periphery. All are arranged radially in the radial direction. Therefore, since the glass fibers which are made of resin but have little dimensional change due to heat are arranged in the radial direction, the garbage storage container 12 has little heat shrinkage in the radial direction. Conventionally, when the garbage is dried, the water content is reduced, and the surface temperature of the garbage storage container 12 is increased, the garbage having a high content of sugar may be sticky because of high adhesiveness. Even if the drying proceeds, the water content decreases, and even if the surface temperature of the garbage storage container 12 rises, the dimensional change of the bottom surface 40 of the garbage storage container 12 is smaller than that of the resin. Since the garbage shrinks more than the garbage storage container 12, when the dry garbage shrinks, the garbage naturally comes off from the garbage storage container 12.

(Embodiment 2) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Since the configuration of the main body is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description is omitted. In FIG. 3, the second garbage storage container 3
Numeral 5 is a thin (about 2 mm) whole, made of a heat-resistant resin containing no glass fiber or the like, and a plate 36 made of a resin containing glass fiber is integrally formed on the inside of the bottom surface. The bottom is curved in a gentle mountain shape.

In the above configuration, the side surface is made thin and the bottom surface has a plate, so that the strength of the bottom surface is increased and the dimensional change due to temperature is small.
The same effects as in the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, since the material of the plate 36 containing the glass fiber is small, even if it is made of a special material, the cost does not increase so much. Therefore, the heat shrinkage is suppressed particularly by using a material with little shrinkage. The refuse that has adhered to the bottom surface is made of an organic material, and shrinks in size when dried more than the resin. Therefore, when the refuse shrinks, the garbage can naturally come off from the garbage storage container 35 that hardly shrinks. In addition, since the bottom surface is curved, the shape difference between the bottom surface of the garbage storage container 35 and the dried garbage caused by the difference in contraction between the plate 36 and the dried garbage further facilitates peeling, thereby preventing sticking.

In this embodiment, the plate 36 is provided integrally with the second garbage container 35.
Even if the bottom of the second garbage storage container 35 is simply curved without providing the garbage, peeling due to a difference in shape between the dried garbage and the second garbage storage container 35 at the time of shrinkage occurs, and the effect of preventing sticking is obtained. It goes without saying that you can get it. The shape to be curved is not limited to being curved upward, but may be downward. In short, the same effect can be obtained if a difference in shape due to a difference in shrinkage occurs between the shrinking dry waste and the bottom of the garbage storage container. Obtainable.

According to the first and second aspects of the present invention, the strength (particularly, strength against dropping, etc.) of the garbage storage container can be ensured, so that the container is hardly broken and the thickness of the container is reduced. The temperature of the inner surface of the small side surface is easily increased, and drying of dust is promoted, so that the drying efficiency can be improved and the drying time can be shortened.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the thickness of at least one of the thick part and the thin part provided in the garbage storage container is gradually changed, that is, gradually changed, so that the moldability of the container is improved. Is improved.
