BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a garbage disposal machine used in general households, restaurants, restaurants, and the like.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, an increasing number of households, restaurants and cafeterias have been using kitchens or kitchen wastes as fertilizers or reducing the amount of waste to the disposal companies. The methods include a method of drying garbage to reduce the weight and a method of treating garbage using microorganisms.
[0003]
First, a conventional garbage processing machine (first conventional example) using a method of drying and reducing weight while heating is described with reference to FIG.
[0004]
The main body 1 of the garbage processing machine includes a garbage storage container 2 for storing garbage and a drying cabinet 3 for detachably storing the garbage storage container 2. A fixed blade 4 is provided on the inner wall 2 a of the garbage storage container 2. Reference numeral 5 denotes a rotary blade that rotates while intersecting with the fixed blade 4 and is detachably connected to the center shaft 6. The center shaft 6 is connected to the rotation shaft 7 a of the motor 7 and is driven by the motor 7.
[0005]
8 is a lid that is pivotally supported by the main body 1 so that it can be freely opened and closed. The tightness between the lid 8 and the garbage storage container 2 has an annular packing 9 attached to the bottom surface of the lid 8 when the lid 8 is closed. This is done by pressing against the garbage storage container 2. Under the lid 8, heating means including a drying heater 10 and a blower fan 11 is provided and covered with a protective cover 13 having a plurality of openings 12.
[0006]
Reference numeral 14 denotes a motor for rotationally driving the blower fan 11, 15 denotes a discharge port provided on the bottom surface of the lid 8, and 16 denotes an upper pipe connected to the discharge port 15. When the lid 8 is closed, the deodorizing means 18 is connected via the coupling packing 17. It is press-contacted to the connected lower pipe 19. The exhaust side of the deodorizing means 18 is connected via an outlet pipe 20 to a suction means comprising a suction fan 21 and a motor A22 that rotates the suction fan 21, and the exhaust of the deodorizing means 18 sucked by the suction fan 21 is discharged from the main body exhaust port. 23 is discharged to the outside.
[0007]
The deodorizing means 18 is for removing the odor generated during the drying process of the garbage, and includes a fin 24 coated with an oxidation catalyst that chemically decomposes the odor, and a heater 25 that heats the fin 24 to promote a chemical reaction. And is housed in a metal case 26.
[0008]
A cooling fan 27 for cooling the inside of the main body 1 is attached to the other end of the motor A22, and an air intake for taking in outside air for cooling is inserted into the bottom plate 28 of the main body 1 located below the cooling fan 27. A mouth 29 is formed.
[0009]
The operation in the above configuration is as follows.
[0010]
When the garbage is put into the garbage storage container 2 and a switch (not shown) of the main body 1 is turned on, the ambient air heated by the drying heater 10 passes through the opening 12 by the blower fan 11 and passes through the garbage storage container 2. It is sent in and the garbage is heated. The steam generated from the heated garbage is sucked by the suction fan 21 and discharged from the discharge port 15 provided on the bottom surface of the lid 8, passing through the upper pipe 16, the coupling packing 17, and the lower pipe 19. Deodorizing means 18 is reached.
[0011]
Then, after the odor contained in the vapor is removed by a chemical reaction by the catalyst supported on the fins 24 in the deodorizing means 18, it is discharged to the outside from the main body exhaust port 23 located below the suction fan 21. At the same time, the garbage in the garbage storage container 2 is dried while being stirred and pulverized by the fixed blade 4 and the rotary blade 5, and is reduced and subdivided after the drying.
[0012]
In the case of the above-described heating-type garbage processing machine, the temperature of the drying heater 10 can be set freely, so that it can be treated as compared with a garbage processing machine that treats garbage using microorganisms described below. There is an advantage that time is short.
[0013]
Next, the garbage processing machine (2nd prior art example) which processes garbage using the conventional microorganisms is demonstrated using FIGS.
[0014]
12 is an overall perspective view of the garbage processing machine, FIG. 13 is a longitudinal sectional view of the processing tank, and FIG. 14 is an AA transverse sectional view of FIG.
[0015]
Reference numeral 31 denotes a treatment tank for treating garbage with microorganisms, and a garbage input port 31 a is provided at the top of the main body 30. Reference numeral 32 denotes a heater which is a heating means for heating the inside of the processing tank 31. Reference numeral 33 denotes a stirring blade that stirs a carrier 34, which will be described later, housed in the processing tank 31 together with garbage, and is driven by a motor 36. The stirring blade 33 is attached around the stirring shaft 37 so as to be arranged in a spiral shape, and is made of a hard metal. Reference numeral 34 denotes a carrier, which carries microorganisms for fermenting and decomposing the input raw garbage, and is formed from sawdust, wood chips and the like.
[0016]
Reference numeral 35 denotes an outlet for the carrier 34 provided at the bottom of the processing tank 31. Reference numeral 38 denotes a sprocket attached to the stirring shaft 37, and reference numeral 39 denotes a sprocket attached to the motor 36. 40 connects the sprocket 38 and the sprocket 39 to stir the driving force from the motor 36.
It is a chain that conveys to the stirring blade 33. The stirring blade 33, the stirring shaft 37, the sprockets 38 and 39, and the motor 36 constitute a stirring device.
[0017]
Reference numeral 41 denotes a lid that covers the charging port 31 a of the processing tank 31. A temperature detector 42 measures and monitors the temperature of the carrier 34 in the treatment tank 31. Further, 43 is an intake port for taking outside air into the garbage disposal main body 30, and 44 is an intake fan provided at the intake port 43. 45 is an exhaust port.
[0018]
The operation according to the above configuration is as follows.
[0019]
The lid 41 is opened and garbage is thrown into the treatment tank 31 from the garbage input port 31a. A carrier 34 is filled in the treatment tank 31 in advance. When the switch (not shown) is turned on after the charging, the motor 36 rotates the stirring blade 33 at a speed of about 3 to 30 rpm, and the charged garbage and the carrier 34 are stirred. By this stirring, the garbage and the carrier 34 are evenly mixed, and the garbage is uniformly dispersed in the carrier 34. The driving of the stirring blade 33 is not performed continuously, but is repeated intermittently and periodically at a rate of several minutes per hour.
[0020]
By the way, the carrier 34 carries microorganisms such as facultative aerobic bacteria. Authentic bacteria carry potato, Bacillus subtilis, cellulose bacteria, pseudomonas, nitrate bacteria, sulfur bacteria and the like. And garbage is fermented and decomposed by these microorganisms to generate heat. Due to this heat generation, the temperature of the carrier 34 increases, and the habitat of microorganisms is generally maintained. However, in winter and cold regions where the temperature of the outside air is low, the activity of microorganisms is significantly reduced when the temperature of the carrier 34 decreases due to heat radiation to the outside. Therefore, the fermentation is promoted by energizing the heater 32 and heating the carrier 34. Need to be made. Therefore, the temperature of the carrier 4 is detected by the temperature detector 42 to monitor and control the microbial environment.
[0021]
Further, in order to maintain an aerobic environment for activating microorganisms in the treatment tank 31, the intake fan 44 is driven to take outside air from the intake port 43, send it to the carrier 34, and discharge it from the exhaust port 45. I am doing so.
[0022]
The temperature of the carrier 34 and the air supply to the carrier 34 are controlled so that the moisture content of the carrier 4 is maintained in the range of 40% to 60%, which is the optimum moisture environment of microorganisms (for example, Patent Document 1). reference).

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In such conventional heating and drying, especially when vegetables, fish, meat, fruits and the like are heated, a large amount of water vapor is emitted and a large amount of organic gas which is a malodorous substance is generated. This malodorous substance consists of a substance that the garbage itself contains evaporates due to a rise in temperature, and a component of the garbage that oxidizes or decomposes when heated, or a chemical reaction between the components of the garbage. Some of them generate and evaporate. Deodorizing means 18 is provided in order to prevent such bad odors from coming out of the main body of the garbage processing machine, but in order to obtain a sufficient deodorizing effect, the surface area of the fins 24 carrying the catalyst is increased. It is necessary to increase the size of the deodorizing means 18. Also, the odor remained in the dried waste, which made it uncomfortable during storage.
[0025]
In addition, in a garbage processing machine that treats garbage using microorganisms, if anaerobic fermentation increases during the treatment process, the odor also increases with that and is discharged outside the main body of the garbage processing machine. And it was very uncomfortable. In order to reduce the odor emitted to the outside, there are some which are provided with a deodorizing means as in the first conventional example, but the enlargement of the deodorizing means has not been avoided.
[0026]
The present invention is to solve the above problems, to reduce the generation of odor during and after the treatment of garbage, to reduce the size of the deodorizing means, and to provide a garbage treatment machine that can treat the garbage comfortably. Is intended
[0027]

【Example】
Example 1
Hereinafter, a first example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, about the same part as a prior art example, the description is abbreviate | omitted using the same code | symbol and a name.
[0030]
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 48 denotes oxygen-enriched air supply means for supplying oxygen-enriched air into the garbage storage container 2, and includes an oxygen enrichment unit 49 and a pump 50.
[0031]
51a is a connecting pipe A which is connected to the outlet 57 of the pump 50 and has an upper end opened. 51b is attached to the lid 8, and when the lid 8 is closed, one end is in pressure contact with the upper end of the connecting pipe A51a. This is a connecting pipe B communicating with the pipe A51a. The other end of the connecting pipe B51b is provided on the bottom surface of the lid 8, and is connected to an inlet 52 that communicates with the garbage storage container 2. In addition, the inflow port 52 is provided in the position which substantially opposes the discharge port 15, as the figure shows.
[0032]
Other configurations are the same as those of the first conventional example.
[0033]
Next, the oxygen enrichment unit 49 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
[0034]
The oxygen enrichment unit 49 generates air with increased oxygen concentration, so-called oxygen enriched air, and utilizes the difference in the velocity of molecules passing through a flat membrane of organic polymer. Compared with the above, oxygen passes well, so that so-called oxygen-enriched air having a relatively high oxygen concentration can be obtained. The proportion of oxygen in normal air is about 21% (nitrogen about 79%).
In the oxygen-enriched air after passing through the element enrichment unit 49, the proportion of oxygen is about 30% (nitrogen is about 70%).
[0035]
The oxygen enrichment unit 49 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped unit in which a plurality of substantially rectangular oxygen enrichment modules 53 as shown in FIG. 2 (a) are stacked as shown in FIGS. 2 (b) and 2 (c). It has a structure. The oxygen-enriched module 53 has a substantially rectangular oxygen-enriched film 55 attached to both sides of a mesh-structured frame 54 to form an air passage between the two films, which communicates with an outlet 56.
[0036]
FIG. 3 shows an oxygen enrichment unit 49 disposed in a horizontally long shape in the main body 1 and above the air intake port 29 and a pump 50 connected thereto, and an intake port 56a of the pump 50 has an oxygen enrichment unit 56a. The exhaust port 56 is connected to the discharge port 56 of the gasification unit 49, and 57 is a delivery port for pushing out the oxygen-enriched air sucked from the oxygen enrichment unit 49, to which the connection pipe A 51 a is connected.
[0037]
As the pump 50, a bellows pump having a high pressure during operation is used to increase the flow rate of oxygen-enriched air against the passage pressure loss in the oxygen-enriched membrane 55.
[0038]
A portion of the air flowing around the oxygen-enriched film 55 passes through the oxygen-enriched film 55 into the path of the frame 54 by sucking the inside of the frame 54 through the discharge port 56 with the pump 50. Intrusion and oxygen-enriched air is obtained.
[0039]
The operation of the above configuration is as follows.
[0040]
When garbage is put into the garbage storage container 2 and the lid 8 is closed, one end of the connecting pipe B51b is pressed against the upper end of the connecting pipe A51a, and the inlet 52 and the outlet 57 of the pump 50 communicate with each other. When the switch of the main body 1 is turned on, ambient air heated by the drying heater 10 is sent out into the garbage storage container 2 through the opening 12 by the blower fan 11, and heating of the garbage starts. Similarly, the motor 7 is driven and the garbage is agitated by the fixed blade 4 and the rotary blade 5 so that the hot air is evenly distributed to the garbage. The steam generated from the heated garbage is sucked by the suction fan 21, passes through the discharge port 15, the upper pipe 22, the connecting packing 17, and the lower pipe 19 to reach the deodorizing means 18, where it is contained in the steam. After the odor is removed by a chemical reaction, it is discharged to the outside through the main body exhaust port 23.
[0041]
At the same time, the oxygen-enriched air sucked from the oxygen-enriching unit 49 by the operation of the pump 50 is discharged from the inlet 52 close to the drying heater 10 through the connecting pipe A51a and the connecting pipe B51b. Is heated. Odors are generated from the garbage during the heat treatment of the garbage. However, when they are exposed to the heated oxygen-enriched air, the oxidative decomposition is accelerated. Reduced. Furthermore, since high-temperature oxidation-enriched air is agitated by the blower fan 11, oxidative decomposition and odor reduction are effectively performed. Further, since the burden on the deodorizing means 18 is reduced by reducing the odor, the deodorizing means 18 can be downsized and an inexpensive garbage disposal machine can be provided.
[0042]
In the present embodiment, the oxygen enrichment unit 49 arranged in a horizontally long shape is positioned above the air intake port 29 disposed on the bottom of the main body 1, so that the rotation of the cooling fan 27 causes the air enrichment unit 49 to move from the air intake port 29. Since the fresh air that has flowed in flows so as to be orthogonal to the long side of the oxygen enrichment unit 49 (substantially parallel to the short side), oxygen-enriched air can be obtained efficiently and continuously.
[0043]
In the above embodiment, the drying type garbage processing machine is taken as an example. However, as shown in FIG. 4, the garbage processing machine using microorganisms (hereinafter referred to as the microorganism method) as in the second conventional example is used in the present invention. You may provide the oxygen enrichment unit 49 and the pump 50 which were described in the Example. 51 c is a connecting pipe for connecting one end to the outlet 57 of the pump 50 and supplying oxygen-enriched air to the upper part of the processing tank 31.
[0044]
In this case, air with a high oxygen concentration is supplied to the surface of the garbage where odors are most likely to occur from above, which promotes aerobic fermentation of the garbage, speeds up the decomposition of the garbage, and shortens the processing time. . Moreover, since the anaerobic fermentation which becomes the odor source is suppressed, there is an effect of suppressing the generation of odor.
[0045]
Further, if the carrier 34 is stirred together with the garbage with the stirring blade 33 during the treatment, the chance of contacting the garbage and the carrier 34 with the high concentration oxygen increases, so that the aerobic bacteria are further activated and the garbage is decomposed. Speed increases and processing time can be shortened.
[0046]
Further, when the oxygen amount is supplied to the treatment tank 31 in which the carrier 34 and the garbage are stored by supplying air enriched with oxygen, the treatment tank is supplied from the intake port 43 (see FIG. 14). Since the amount of the outside air introduced into 31 can be reduced, it is possible to prevent the temperature of the carrier 34 from being lowered due to the introduction of the outside air, thereby facilitating maintaining the activity of the microorganisms in an active state, and treating garbage. Will increase.
[0047]
(Example 2)
Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the first embodiment, oxygen-enriched air is supplied into the garbage storage container 2, but in this embodiment, oxygen is partially introduced into the exhaust passage through which steam generated during the treatment of garbage is passed. Enriched air is supplied. Accordingly, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same names and the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0048]
Reference numeral 60 denotes a connecting pipe C that communicates the outlet 57 of the pump 50 and the middle of the lower pipe 19 that forms the exhaust passage. When oxygen-enriched air is released into the exhaust passage in this way, the decomposition of the odor contained in the exhaust is promoted by the oxidation reaction, and the odor can be reduced.
[0049]
In addition, it goes without saying that the combined use of this embodiment and the first embodiment, that is, if oxygen-enriched air is sent to both the garbage storage container 2 and the lower pipe 9, the odor can be further reduced. There is no.
[0050]
Further, by releasing oxygen-enriched air upstream of the deodorizing means 18 using the oxidation catalyst as in this embodiment, the oxygen-enriched air flows into the deodorizing means 18, thereby promoting the oxidation reaction by the catalyst. The deodorizing ability of the deodorizing means is greatly improved.
[0051]
(Example 3)
Hereinafter, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, an oxygen-enriched air supply means is provided in a garbage processing machine that condenses and collects or discards steam generated from garbage. In addition, about the same component as the said Example, the same name and the same code | symbol are attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.
[0052]
In the figure, reference numeral 61 denotes a garbage storage container, which is provided with a fixed blade 62 and a rotary blade 63 for pulverizing and stirring the garbage. The fixed blade 62 is provided so as to protrude from the inner wall of the garbage storage container 61, and the rotary blade 63 is rotationally driven by a motor 64.
[0053]
Above the garbage storage container 61, a drying heater 10 and a blower fan 11 that is rotationally driven by a motor 14 are provided as means for heating the garbage.
[0054]
An outer container 66 whose outer wall is cooled by the blower fan 65 is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the garbage storage container 61, and a condensing unit 67 that condenses the steam is configured between the garbage storage container 61 and the outer container 66. Is done.
[0055]
A condensed water container 69 is connected to the lower part of the outer container 66 through a condensed water outflow pipe 68. The lid 70 is provided on the main body 72 through a hinge 71 so as to be freely opened and closed, and covers the upper opening edge 73 of the outer container 66 when it is closed and is in a sealed state via a packing 74. Reference numeral 72a denotes a latch mechanism that holds the lid 70 in a closed state.
[0056]
Further, an exhaust pipe 75 communicating with the condensed water outflow pipe 68 is provided at the lower part of the condensing part 67, and a deodorizing means 18 having an outlet opened is connected to the downstream side thereof.
[0057]
The oxygen enrichment unit 49 and the pump 50 connected thereto are installed in the main body 72 along the outer container 66, and the outlet 57 of the pump 50 and the inside of the outer container 66 are communicated via a connecting pipe D76. ing.
[0058]
The operation of the soot processor configured as described above will be described. The surface of the raw garbage thrown into the raw garbage storage container 61 is heated by the drying heater 10 and the blower fan 11 which are heating means, and the steam generated from the raw garbage by obtaining heat is further obtained as superheated steam by obtaining heat. Become. When the fixed blade 62 and the rotating blade 63 are pulverized and stirred, the upper surface of the garbage whose moisture has been reduced mixes with the interior that still contains a large amount of moisture and absorbs the water, and then the upper surface and the interior are sequentially mixed. In addition to the heating by the heating means, the drying of the waste with the superheated steam proceeds efficiently.
[0059]
And since the opening edge 73 of the outer container 66 is sealed with the lid 70 and the packing 74, the water vapor containing the odor component generated from the garbage first flows into the condensing part 67 as indicated by the arrow by the internal pressure, The outer wall is cooled and condensed by contacting the inner wall of the outer container 66 whose outer wall is cooled by the blower fan 65, and the condensed water is accumulated in the condensed water container 69 through the condensed water outflow pipe 68.
[0060]
On the other hand, the water vapor containing the odor component that could not be condensed is sent from the exhaust pipe 75 to the deodorization means 18 and the odor component is purified.
[0061]
Further, oxygen-enriched air sucked from the oxidation enrichment unit 49 by the pump 50 is supplied to the condensing unit 67 through the connecting pipe D76.
[0062]
The dried garbage remaining in the garbage storage container 61 and the condensed water accumulated in the condensed water container 69 are periodically collected and processed.
[0063]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, when oxygen-enriched air is supplied to the condensing unit 67, high-concentration oxygen is mixed in the condensed water containing odor, thereby promoting the oxidation reaction and odor. Therefore, there is no unpleasant feeling when discarding the condensed water.
[0064]
(Example 4)
Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the first embodiment, the oxygen-enriched air is supplied from above the garbage, but in this embodiment, the oxygen-enriched air is supplied from the bottom of the treatment tank. Are the same.
[0065]
In FIG. 7, reference numeral 80 denotes an opening A provided at a part of the bottom of the processing tank 31, which communicates with the delivery port 57 of the pump 50 through a connecting pipe E <b> 81. In the middle of the connecting pipe E81, a curved portion 82 is provided at a position higher than the opening A80 to prevent the juice of raw garbage from flowing into the delivery port 57 by any chance.
[0066]
The effect | action by the above structure is as follows. Since the garbage processing method is the same as that of the second conventional example, the description thereof is omitted.
[0067]
During the treatment of garbage, the garbage is stirred together with the carrier 34 by the stirring blade 33. At this time, oxygen-enriched air sucked by the pump 50 from the oxygen-enriching unit 49 passes through the connecting pipe E81 and opens the opening A80. Or is released to the garbage / carrier 34 from there. As a result, oxygen-enriched air can be supplied from the inside of the garbage / carrier 34. This increases the chance of contact between the high-concentration oxygen and the garbage / carrier 34, thereby further promoting bacterial activation. , Garbage disposal time can be shortened.
[0068]
In the present embodiment, the opening A80 is disposed slightly above the bottommost portion of the processing tank 31, so that garbage or juice from the carrier 34 does not inadvertently enter.
[0069]
In addition, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case where the opening A31 provided in the bottom part of the processing tank 31 was one, it may be distributed in large numbers over the whole bottom part.
[0070]
(Example 5)
Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, the garbage container of the first embodiment is provided with a processed material container for temporarily storing the processed waste. Therefore, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and names, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0071]
In FIG. 8, reference numeral 90 denotes a processed product container that is attached to the side surface of the main body 1 and temporarily stores and stores the waste that has been processed in the garbage storage container, and 91 is an inlet A92 of the processed product container 90. Is a lid A that opens and closes. Reference numeral 93 denotes a connecting pipe F that branches from the middle of the connecting pipe A 51 a and communicates with the inside of the processing object container 90, and 94 is pivotally supported at one end by the branch portion 95, and is enriched with oxygen from the pump 50. A switching valve for switching the air flow to either the processed material container 90 side or the garbage storage container 2 side, and 96 is a lever for rotating the switching valve 94 from the outside.
[0072]
Reference numeral 97 denotes an oxygen concentration sensor that is installed on the upper inner wall of the processing object container 90 and detects the oxygen concentration. Reference numeral 98 denotes a control circuit that controls the operation of the pump 50 in accordance with the output of the oxygen concentration sensor 97. FIG. As shown, the oxygen concentration sensor 97, the pump 50, and the control circuit 98 are electrically connected.
[0073]
The operation of the above configuration is as follows.
[0074]
In FIG. 8B, the lever 96 is operated to the side indicated by a broken line, and the switching valve 94 is rotated to the side also indicated by the broken line, so that oxygen-enriched air from the pump 50 is generated. The garbage processing machine main body 1 is operated so as to flow to the garbage container 2 side. When the processing of the garbage is finished, the processed waste is taken out from the waste container 2, the lid 91 is opened, and the waste is put into the processed product container 90 through the input port A <b> 92.
[0075]
Next, when the lever 96 is operated to the solid line side and the switching valve 94 is similarly rotated to the solid line side and a switch (not shown) is turned on, the pump 50 is driven and oxygen-enriched air passes through the connecting pipe F93. Flow into the processed product container 90. When the oxygen-enriched air is sufficiently sent to the processing object container 90 and the oxygen concentration detected by the oxygen concentration sensor 97 reaches a first predetermined value (for example, 29%), the control circuit 98 operates the pump 50. On the other hand, when the oxygen concentration detected by the oxygen concentration sensor 97 becomes equal to or lower than a second predetermined value (for example, 26%), the control circuit 98 restarts the pump 50 to supply oxygen-enriched air. It is made to send to the processed material container 90. FIG.
[0076]
As described above, according to this embodiment, aerobic fermentation of treated waste is promoted by sending air having a high oxygen concentration into the treated product container 90, so that odor generation can be reduced. Moreover, since the treated waste can be stored for a long period of time, the frequency of waste disposal is reduced, so that the treatment becomes easy.
[0077]
Also, by automatically operating the pump 50 using the oxygen concentration sensor 97, it is possible to supply a certain concentration of oxygen to the treated waste, so that if anaerobic fermentation occurs inadvertently and the odor increases rapidly There is nothing to say. In addition, unnecessary operation of electricity can be prevented by automatic operation.
[0078]
In place of the automatic operation using the oxygen concentration sensor 97, the pump 50 is sufficiently spread over the surface of the waste that has been treated with oxygen enriched air every predetermined time (for example, every hour) for a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes). Time) You may be allowed to drive. In this case, the oxygen concentration cannot be sufficiently managed, but wasteful consumption of electricity due to unnecessary operation of the pump 50 can be prevented with an inexpensive configuration.
[0079]
(Example 6)

In the figure, 101 is a storage case for storing the oxygen enrichment unit 49 and the pump 50 connected thereto, and an opening C102 is provided at the bottom so as to face the air intake port 29 of the main body 1.
[0081]
Reference numeral 60 denotes a connecting pipe C which is connected to the outlet 57 of the pump 50 and the middle of the lower pipe 19 as in the second embodiment. Reference numeral 103 denotes a connection pipe G having one end connected to the storage case 101 and the other end pressed against the lower end of the connection pipe B51b when the lid 8 is closed. The connection pipe G communicates with the inside of the storage case 101 and the connection pipe B51b. is there.
[0082]
The effect | action by the said structure is as follows.
[0083]
As described in the first embodiment, the oxygen-enriched film 55 has a feature that it allows oxygen to pass through better than nitrogen in the air but also allows moisture in the air to pass well. Therefore, while the pump 50 is operating, fresh outside air flows from the opening C102, and oxygen-enriched air is sucked together with moisture through the oxidation enrichment unit 49 and sent to the lower pipe 19.
[0084]
On the other hand, air with less moisture, that is, dry air remains around the oxygen enrichment unit 49, and the dry air is connected to the connecting pipe G103, the connecting pipe B51b, and the discharge port by the action of the suction force of the suction fan 21. It flows into the garbage storage container 2 through A52. That is, the oxidation enrichment unit 49 also serves as a moisture separator.
[0085]
Thus, according to the present embodiment, compared to taking the outside air directly into the garbage storage container 2, since a part of the moisture is removed in advance and dried air is used, the drying efficiency of the garbage is improved. The drying process can be performed in a short time and with less electric energy.
[0086]
Further, the oxygen-enriched film 55 preferentially allows oxygen and moisture to pass over nitrogen means that the oxygen-enriched unit 49 is filled with air having a high nitrogen concentration. The storage case 101 containing the oxidation enrichment unit 49 and the pump 50 also serves as a nitrogen enriched air supply means.
[0087]
When air with a high nitrogen concentration is sent to the garbage storage container, the nitrogen enrichment makes it difficult for the carbonyl reaction (scorching) to occur, and it can be processed at a higher temperature, thereby shortening the processing time. Furthermore, since it can be less likely to turn brown, it is suitable for composting.
[0088]
Needless to say, the present embodiment is applied to a microorganism-type garbage disposal machine, that is, the air around the oxygen enrichment unit 49 is sent to the treatment tank 31 containing the carrier 34 via the connecting pipe G103. Anyway.
[0089]
In this case, the nitrogen air flowing into the treatment tank 31 acts on the anaerobic microorganisms and activates them to reduce stimulating odors such as ammonia.
[0090]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an easy-to-use garbage processing machine that reduces the generation of odors during the processing of garbage.
