It has become so. A circuit board 2 in which a monitoring circuit for maintaining gas safety is incorporated is attached to the side surface of the rotation drive mechanism 41.
[0021]
A receiving plate 15 is disposed at the bottom of the stirring tank 40. The receiving plate 15 is curved in a semi-cylindrical shape, and is arranged at the bottom of the stirring tank 40 so as to be concentric with the circle drawn by the spiral stirring member 12, and more specifically, the lower portion of the spiral stirring member 12. It faces the lower half of the spiral stirring member 12 with a gap. As shown in FIG. 4, the spiral stirring member 12 has a circular outer peripheral shape in cross section. In the illustrated example, the helical stirring member 12 is formed by bending a pipe having a circular outer cross-sectional outer periphery in a spiral shape. When the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the spiral stirring member 12 and the receiving plate 15 is G, the gap G is set to 1.5 to 4 mm, more preferably 2 to 3 mm.
[0022]
A gas burner 3 is installed in the combustion chamber 42. The burner 3 is for heating the air in the stirring tank 40. The sirocco fan 8 for taking in the air in the stirring tank 40 and sending the air heated by the burner 3 back into the stirring tank 40 as hot air is provided above. It is attached to the combustion chamber 42. The air intake side of the sirocco fan 8 communicates with the hot air inlet 6 opened in the stirring tank 40 through the hot air mixing duct 7. A filter that blocks dust is attached to the suction port 6 so that dust is not sucked.

The parts including the burner 3, the sirocco fan 8, the hot air inlet 6, and the hot air outlet 10 constitute hot air circulating means for circulating hot air in the stirring tank 40. The hot air circulating means includes temperature control means for controlling the temperature in the stirring tank 40 to 60 to 70 ° C, more preferably around 65 ° C. The hot air mixing duct 7 communicates with the outside air intake port 5, and the combustion of the burner in the combustion chamber 42 is continued by taking in the outside air together with the hot air in the stirring tank 40. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 20 denotes a motor for driving the sirocco fan 8, reference numeral 11 denotes a discharge valve for discharging the air in the stirring tank 40, and reference numeral 1 denotes a power cord.
[0023]
Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. Opening and closing door 23 shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 is opened, garbage is put into stirring tank 40, and helical stirring member 12 is driven to rotate by starting motor 16 as a drive source. At the same time, the fuel gas is supplied from the gas pipe connected to the gas connection port 19, the sirocco fan 8 is operated while the gas is burned by the burner 3, and the air in the agitation tank 40 is heated while being circulated. Then, hot air is circulated in the stirring tank 40. By rotating the helical stirring member 12, the helical stirring member 12 can be divided into a component that moves in the direction of the rotating shaft 14 when viewed from the receiving plate 15 and a component that rotates in the direction around the rotating shaft 14. As shown in FIG. 5, the garbage 30 is lifted along the surface of the receiving plate 15 by the component in the rotation direction around the rotation shaft 14, and eventually falls by gravity and is stirred.
[0024]
On the other hand, the spiral stirring member 12 is formed by spirally forming a wire having a circular cross-sectional outer peripheral shape. As shown in FIG. 4, a gap G is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the spiral stirring member 12 and the receiving plate. Therefore, when the helical stirring member 12 is driven to rotate, the helical stirring member 12 moves relative to the receiving plate 15 in the rotational axis direction of the helical stirring member 12, and the gap Garbage 30 is guided to G. Since the spiral stirring member 12 has a circular outer cross-sectional outer shape, the garbage 30 introduced into the gap G is sandwiched between the outer peripheral surface of the spiral stirring member 12 and the receiving plate 15. Further, when the helical stirring member 12 rotates with respect to the receiving plate 15, the garbage sandwiched between the outer peripheral surface of the helical stirring member 12 and the receiving plate 15 is crushed so as to be crushed. . In this way, since the garbage 30 is finely crushed and hot air is circulated in the stirring tank 40, the evaporation of moisture is promoted, and the garbage 30 can be processed in a short time without using bacteria. Can do.
[0025]
Since the gap G is set to 1.5 to 4 mm, preferably 2 to 3 mm as described above, the garbage 30 is miniaturized to a desired size. If the gap G is narrower than 1.5 mm, it is difficult for the garbage 30 to enter the gap, and the effect of crushing the garbage 30 is impaired. If the gap G is wider than 4 mm, the amount of garbage 30 that passes through the gap increases, and the effect of finely crushing the garbage 30 is impaired. If the effect of crushing the garbage 30 is impaired, the contact area with the hot air is reduced, and the garbage disposal efficiency is lowered.
[0026]
By circulating the hot air in the stirring tank 40 by the aforementioned hot air circulation means, drying of the garbage 30 in the stirring tank 40 can be promoted. The temperature in the stirring vessel 40 is controlled to 60 to 70 ° C., more preferably around 65 ° C. as described above. By controlling the temperature in the agitation tank 40 as described above, most of the germs can be killed, and even if they cannot be killed, breeding can be suppressed, thereby preventing the occurrence of malodor to some extent. it can. The water removed from the garbage 30 is discharged as vapor from the exhaust valve 11 to the outside.
[0027]
As described above, the garbage 30 in the agitation tank 40 is refined while being stirred by the helical stirring member 12 and hot air is circulated while increasing the contact area of the air. A product that is accelerated, has a high degree of dryness, and has a volume reduced to about 1/10 can be obtained in a short time. In addition, it is possible to treat garbage without using bacteria by promoting the evaporation of moisture and increasing the dryness, and prevent the generation of malodors and odors due to the use of bacteria. Can do. Two helical stirring members 12 are used, arranged in series in the rotation axis direction with the directions of twisting being opposite to each other, and the garbage 30 or the product is moved to the axial center by rotation of the rotation shaft 14. Therefore, after the garbage treatment, it is easy to open the product outlet opening / closing door 22 and take out the product.
[0028]
The helical stirring member 12 may be formed by twisting a hollow pipe inside, or may be formed by twisting an elongated cylindrical member having a dense inside. From the viewpoint of ease of processing and reduction of rotational load, it is desirable to twist the pipe. As shown in the illustrated embodiment, the configuration in which the two helical stirring members 12 are arranged in series is not an essential condition for the present invention, and one helical stirring member may be used. The burner may be a gas burner or a burner using petroleum as fuel.
[0029]
Next, a modified example that can further increase the efficiency of the garbage disposal will be described with reference to FIGS. This modification is characterized in that the spiral stirring member 12 is provided with fins 50 that press the food waste against the receiving plate 15 while rotating integrally with the spiral stirring member 12 to squeeze the moisture of the food waste. . This will be described in more detail. In FIG. 6, two helical stirring members 12 are arranged in the direction of the rotating shaft 14, and these helical stirring members 12 are integrated with the rotating shaft 14 via the support bar 13 and the like as described above and centered on the rotating shaft 14. It is attached on a concentric circle. The two spiral agitating members 12 are configured such that the directions of twisting are opposite to each other, and the garbage 30 is brought closer to the central portion in the direction of the rotating shaft 14 when the two spiral agitating members 12 are rotationally driven in the same direction. Has been.
[0030]
The two spiral agitating members 12 have fins 50 at the inner end in the direction of the rotation axis 14 that press the garbage against the receiving plate 15 while rotating integrally with the spiral agitating member 12 to squeeze the moisture in the garbage. It is attached. A specific example of the shape of the fin 50 and the structure for attaching the fin 50 to the helical stirring member 12 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 8, the fin 50 includes a plate-shaped main body 52, a bent edge portion 54 formed at one end edge portion of the main body 52, and the root portion of the bent edge portion 54 from the middle in the longitudinal direction of the main body 52. And a long hole 56 formed. One end of the spiral stirring member 12 is inserted into the elongated hole 56 from the opposite side of the rising edge of the bent edge 54, and one end of the spiral stirring member 12 is connected to the inner surface of the bent edge 54. The fin 50 is integrally attached to the spiral stirring member 12 by screwing the fixing screw 58 that has been abutted and passed through the bent edge portion 54 into the spiral stirring member 12 from one end thereof.
[0031]
FIG. 7 shows the relationship between the fin 50 attached as described above, the helical stirring member 12 and the backing plate 15. However, in the drawing, in order to avoid complication of lines, the distance between the fin 50 and the backing plate 15 is emphasized and drawn wider than the actual one. The bent edge portion 54 of the fin 50 is positioned on the front side in the rotational direction of the spiral stirring member 12, and the end of the main body 52 of the fin 50 opposite to the bent edge portion 54 is rotated by the spiral stirring member 12. It is located on the rear side. The end of the main body 52 on the rear side in the rotational direction protrudes outside the outer periphery of the helical stirring member 12 and is more than the distance between the outer periphery of the helical stirring member 12 and the inner peripheral surface of the backing plate 15. The space | interval of the edge part of the said 50 rotation direction back side and the internal peripheral surface of the receiving plate 15 is narrow. The distance between the end of the fin 50 on the rear side in the rotational direction and the inner peripheral surface of the receiving plate 15 is very small. The positions of the fin 50 attached to one spiral stirring member 12 and the fin 50 attached to the other spiral stirring member 12 are shifted by 180 degrees in the circumferential direction when viewed from the rotational axis direction.
[0032]
The fin 50 has a certain extent in the direction of the rotation axis 14, and when the main body 52 of the fin 50 rotates integrally with the helical stirring member 12, the main body 52 can be seen from a fixed point of the cylindrical portion of the backing plate 15. The interval with 52 is gradually reduced. Therefore, when the main body 52 of the fin 50 rotates together with the helical stirring member 12, the garbage 30 in the stirring tank 40 is guided between the main body 52 of the fin 50 and the receiving plate 15, and further, the rear end portion of the fin 50. Is pressed against the backing plate 15 and the garbage 30 is compressed. As a result, the moisture contained in the garbage 30 is reduced.
[0033]
In the cylindrical portion of the backing plate 15, a drain hole 60 for removing water squeezed from the garbage 30 out of the stirring tank 40 is formed on the front side in the rotational direction of the spiral stirring member 12. The drain hole 60 is a small hole so as not to cause clogging in the garbage 30 and excludes only moisture. Even if garbage is attached to the drain hole 60, the rear end portion of the main body 52 of the fin 50 passes through the scraper so that clogging of the drain hole 60 is eliminated. Below the drainage hole 60, a drainage channel 62 such as a basket that guides the excluded water to the outside of the garbage disposal device is disposed. When the fin 50 passes the cylindrical portion of the receiving plate 15, the facing surface of the main body 52 of the fin 50 is opened, and the garbage 30 lifted by the fin 50 falls and is stirred by the spiral stirring member 12 again.
[0034]
According to the modified example described above, the water in the garbage 30 can be squeezed by the fins 50, and the time and energy required for drying the garbage 30 can be saved by removing the squeezed moisture out of the stirring tank. can do. Therefore, the efficiency of garbage disposal can be further increased.
Further, the helical stirring member 12 is composed of two helical stirring members whose directions of twisting are opposite to each other, and the two helical stirring members are driven to rotate in the same direction, whereby the garbage is centered in the direction of the rotating shaft 14. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently discharge the processed waste. By attaching the fins 50 to the two spiral stirring members 12 respectively, the water content of the garbage 30 can be more efficiently squeezed, and the efficiency of the garbage treatment can be further increased.
[0035]
The present invention relates to a combustion-type garbage processing apparatus that promotes drying of garbage and accelerates the treatment by heating the garbage with a burner while stirring the garbage. For this reason, a bad odor may be generated from the garbage in the treatment apparatus at a high temperature, and a bad odor may be generated around the garbage treatment apparatus. Therefore, in another embodiment described below, it is devised so that bad odors do not go out of the garbage disposal device by effectively using the combustion chamber that becomes high temperature.
[0036]
9 to 12, an upper frame 65 is placed on and integrated with the garbage processing apparatus main body 64. The garbage disposal apparatus main body 64 includes a stirring layer configured in the same manner as the stirring layer 40 in the above-described embodiment, and includes a rotation drive mechanism 41 of a stirring member. In the upper frame 65, a combustion chamber 42, hot air circulation means, and the like are arranged. A gas burner 3 is provided in the combustion chamber 42, and the gas burner 3 is configured to burn by taking in air from outside the apparatus. The hot air circulation means is mainly composed of the sirocco fan 8, and the fan 81 of the sirocco fan 8 is rotationally driven by the motor 20, whereby the circulation duct 7, the sirocco fan 8, the hot air outlet 10, the stirring layer 40, The air is circulated in the order of the hot air suction port 6 and the circulation duct 7. By this air circulation, the air heated in the combustion chamber 42 is drawn into the hot air circulation path, and the circulating air and the heated air are mixed and sent out to the stirring layer 40. In this way, the temperature of the combustion chamber 42 is controlled to 60 to 70 ° C. as described above.
[0037]
As described above, the air heated in the combustion chamber 42 is drawn into the hot air circulation path and pushed into the stirring layer 40, whereby the pressure inside the stirring layer 40 becomes higher than the pressure outside the apparatus. A part of the air in the stirring layer 40 is discharged from the exhaust pipe 11 to the outside of the apparatus. If there is no contrivance in the exhaust duct, the air in the stirring layer 40 will be discharged as it is, and the smell of garbage will be diffused as a bad odor. Therefore, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, a deodorization catalyst 68 is provided in the discharge duct 70. The exhaust duct 70 is a natural exhaust duct that is not a forced exhaust provided separately from the hot air circulation path, and extends upward from the upper end of the stirring tank to the side of the combustion chamber 42 and then above the combustion chamber 42. Has spread. A deodorizing catalyst 68 is disposed in the expanded portion, and exhaust gas is exhausted from the exhaust pipe 11 through the deodorizing catalyst 68.
[0038]
As described above, the deodorization catalyst 68 is disposed on the combustion chamber 42 and is configured to be heated by the burner 3 in the combustion chamber 42 being burned, so that the deodorization catalyst 68 is heated to a high temperature. In this embodiment, a platinum catalyst is used as the deodorizing catalyst 68. It is known that the platinum catalyst is activated by increasing the temperature and the deodorizing effect is enhanced. Therefore, in this embodiment, the burner 3 and other specifications are set so that the deodorizing catalyst 68 is 350 ° C. or higher. In addition, the surface area of the platinum catalyst is widened so that the exhaust gas effectively contacts the deodorizing catalyst 68 made of a platinum catalyst.
[0039]
As described above, according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, the deodorizing catalyst 68 is not simply disposed in the exhaust duct, but the deodorizing catalyst is a platinum catalyst, and hot air is applied to the stirring layer 40. The platinum catalyst is heated by using the heat generated by the burner 3 which is a heat source for sending and the platinum catalyst is activated, so the odor contained in the exhaust is effectively removed by the platinum catalyst, and the garbage is It is possible to prevent malodor from being diffused around the processing apparatus.
