Other types of earthworms may be used, or multiple types of earthworms may be used in combination, as long as garbage can be composted. In addition, organisms other than earthworms, such as house flies, may be used as long as they are organisms that compost garbage, and may be used together with earthworms. Garbage is waste containing a large amount of water, such as waste food and food residue. The garbage processing apparatus 1 is used by, for example, a plurality of users in common. Specifically, it is installed on the roof of a building or outdoors, and is shared by a plurality of users.

As shown in FIG. 1, the food waste disposal apparatus 1 has a main body 2 for containing food waste. The main body 2 is a container capable of containing garbage, and the contained garbage is composted with earthworms and treated. For example, as the main body 2, a rectangular parallelepiped box-shaped body is used. The main body 2 composts the housed garbage by putting earthworms in advance. The garbage disposal device 1 has two main bodies 2 . The main bodies 2 are installed at predetermined intervals. A lid body 22 is installed on the upper part of the main body 2 . The lid body 22 is a lid for closing the upper opening of the main body 2 . The lid body 22 may be detachable from the main body 2, or may be pivotally attached to the main body 2 by a hinge or the like so as to be openable and closable. A plurality of lid bodies 22 are installed for one main body 2, for example. FIG. 1 shows the case where three lids 22 are provided for the main body 2 .

A window 23 for observation is formed in the main body 2 . A window 23 is formed on the side surface of the main body 2 . For example, the window 23 is provided by attaching a transparent member to an opening formed in the side surface of the main body 2 . As the transparent member, for example, an acrylic plate or plate glass is used. Further, the main body 2 is provided with an opening/closing body 24 . The opening/closing body 24 is a member that opens and closes the window 23 . For example, the opening/closing member 24 is a plate material formed according to the size of the window 23, and is attached to the shaft by a hinge or the like so as to be openable and closable. By opening the opening/closing body 24, the inside of the main body 2 can be checked from the outside of the main body 2. - 特許庁Also, by opening the opening/closing body 24, the growing state of earthworms can be observed. A vent 25 is provided in the main body 2 . The vent 25 is provided for ventilation between the inside and outside of the main body 2, and is formed on the side surface of the main body 2, for example.

The body 2 can be used as a bench. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the user can use the main body 2 as a bench by sitting on the cover 22 of the main body 2 . Therefore, the main body 2 is formed with a strength that can withstand the weight of the user. As shown in FIG. 2, a reinforcing member 26 is provided inside the main body 2 . In FIG. 2, illustration of the lid body 22 is omitted. The reinforcing member 26 is a member for increasing the strength of the main body 2 and is formed as a frame along the inner bottom, side and ceiling surfaces of the main body 2 . A plurality of reinforcing members 26 are installed at predetermined intervals.

The garbage disposal device 1 is provided with a planting section 4 . The planting part 4 is a box in which plants can be grown. The planting part 4 is provided so as to be connected to the main body 2 . For the planting part 4, for example, a box-shaped one having a rectangular parallelepiped shape with an open upper part is used. The planting part 4 contains soil and plants. The planting part 4 may communicate with the inside of the main body 2 . For example, an opening may be formed in a side portion of the main body 2 adjacent to the planting section 4 to allow communication between the inside of the main body 2 and the planting section 4 . In this case, the earthworm housed in the main body 2 can move to the soil of the planting section 4 .

The garbage disposal device 1 is provided with a solar radiation shield 3 . The solar radiation shield 3 is a member for shielding the main body 2 from sunlight, and is provided above the main body 2 . The solar radiation shield 3 is formed using plants 31 . For example, the solar radiation shield 3 is configured by attaching the plant 31 to the attracting part 33 . The attracting part 33 is for attracting the plant 31 and is formed along the direction in which the plant 31 extends. The attracting part 33 is configured using, for example, a plurality of attracting members 33a. The plants 31 that grow in the planting section 4 may be attracted and used. In this case, the plants 31 grown in the planting section 4 can be effectively used. In addition, even in the planting section 4 with a limited area, by attracting the plant 31 to the solar radiation shield 3, even a long growing plant 31 can grow.

The attracting part 33 has, for example, an arch-shaped attracting member 33a, and is provided so as to straddle and cover the two main bodies 2 from above. For example, a plurality of arch-shaped attracting members 33a are provided. The attracting part 33 is formed by combining an arch-shaped attracting member 33a and an attracting member 33a in a direction crossing the arch-shaped attracting member 33a. In the garbage disposal device 1 , the attracting member 33 a functions as a member for attracting the plant 31 and as a support member for supporting the solar radiation shield 3 . In this case, the attracting part 33 also functions as a supporting part. In order to securely attach the plant 31 to the attracting part 33, a string-like member or a net-like member may be stretched between the attracting members 33a.

As the plant 31, for example, a deciduous plant is used. In this case, the solar radiation shield 3 using the plant 31 shields the main body 2 from sunlight in summer, so that the temperature rise of the main body 2 can be suppressed. On the other hand, in winter, the plant 31 on the solar radiation shield 3 dies. For this reason, the shielding function of the solar radiation shielding member 3 is lowered, and the main body 2 is exposed to sunlight, so that the temperature drop of the main body 2 can be suppressed. As the plant 31, for example, a liana is used. In this case, since the plant 31 extends along the attraction part 33 , the plant 31 can be easily attached to the attraction part 33 . Any plant that can grow along the attracting portion 33 can be used as the plant 31 even if it is not a liana. Also, as the plant 31, an evergreen or semi-evergreen plant may be used. For example, it is effective when the food waste disposal apparatus 1 is used in regions where temperature drop is not a problem, such as subtropical or tropical regions. That is, by using an evergreen or semi-evergreen plant as the plant 31, the shielding function of the solar radiation shield 3 does not deteriorate, and the temperature rise of the main body 2 can be reliably suppressed.

As the plant 31, for example, a plant of Cucurbitaceae (Cucurbitaceae) is used. Specifically, as the plant 31, bitter gourd, bottle gourd, cucumber, pumpkin, melon, and the like are used. In addition, as the plant 31, a leguminous plant (Fabaceae) is used. Specifically, peas with vines, kidney beans with vines, and the like are used as the plants 31 . Also, as the plants 31, there are used purple purple, dwarf vine, bindweed (Bindweed, morning glory, etc.), clematis, tomato, grape, wisteria, honeysuckle, hops, Henry creeper, vine rose, akebi, and the like. Furthermore, as the plant 31, a woody plant that grows in a shape similar to a liana by being attracted may be used, such as a tree plant, a bush clover, and a willow. An artificial plant may be used as the plant 31 in some cases. In this case, it is not necessary to attract the plant 31 grown in the planting section 4 , and the plant 31 may be attached to the attraction section 33 .

A solar radiation shield 3 is supported by the main body 2 . For example, the induction part 33 of the solar radiation shield 3 is directly or indirectly supported by the main body 2 . For example, the attracting part 33 may be joined to the main body 2 and directly supported on the main body 2 . Attachment of the guide part 33 can be performed by a known attachment method such as attachment using fasteners such as bolts. Further, the attracting part 33 may be placed on the main body 2 and directly supported. Specifically, the attracting member 33a of the attracting part 33 may be supported by the main body 2 by bending the lower end of the attracting member 33a and placing the main body 2 on the lower end of the attracting member 33a. Further, the attracting part 33 may be indirectly supported by the main body 2 via another member. Specifically, the attracting part 33 may be joined to the main body 2 via another member and indirectly supported by the main body 2 . Further, the attracting part 33 may be joined to a separate member, and the main body 2 may be placed on the separate member and supported by the weight of the main body 2 . The separate member corresponds to, for example, a plate installed at the bottom of the planting section 4 . That is, the lower end of the attracting member 33a may be connected to a plate, and the attracting part 33 may be supported by the main body 2 via the plate. By supporting the attracting part 33 on the main body 2 in this way, the main body 2 can be used as a heavy object for fixing and supporting the attracting part 33 . Therefore, the solar radiation shield 3 can be attached without separately providing a heavy object for fixing and supporting the solar radiation shield 3 . The solar radiation shield 3 may be attached without being supported by the main body 2 in some cases. For example, the solar radiation shield 3 may be attached to a portion other than the main body 2, or may be attached to something other than the garbage disposal apparatus 1. Specifically, when the garbage disposal apparatus 1 is installed on the roof of a structure, the solar radiation shield 3 may be fixed to the structure, or the garbage disposal apparatus 1 is installed outdoors on the ground. In this case, the solar radiation shield 3 may be attached to the ground.

In addition, in the food waste disposal apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, by using a deciduous plant as the plant 31, it is possible to suppress the temperature drop of the main body 2 due to sunlight hitting the main body 2. FIG. That is, in winter, the plant 31 sheds its leaves or dies, and the shielding function of the solar radiation shield 3 deteriorates. Therefore, the body 2 is exposed to sunlight, and the temperature drop of the body 2 is suppressed. As a result, it is possible to appropriately maintain and manage the growth of earthworms without changing the installation position of the garbage disposal apparatus 1 in summer and winter. In addition, the garbage processing apparatus 1 can be appropriately used in summer and winter.

Further, according to the garbage disposal apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the solar radiation shield 3 is configured by attaching the plant 31 to the attracting part 33, so that the plant 31 can be grown along the attracting part 33. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately shield the main body 2 from sunlight.

Therefore, the solar radiation shield 3 can be attached without separately providing a heavy object for fixing and supporting the solar radiation shield 3 .

Moreover, according to the food waste disposal apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, two main bodies 2 are provided and installed at a predetermined interval, and the solar radiation shielding body 3 is arranged so as to straddle over the two main bodies 2 and cover them. By installing the solar radiation shields 3, the two main bodies 2 can be shielded from sunlight. Moreover, by providing the arch-shaped guide part 33 in the solar radiation shield 3, the solar radiation shield 3 can be stably installed. For example, even if it receives an external force such as wind pressure, deformation and breakage can be suppressed. Note that the solar radiation shield 3 may have a shape other than an arch shape as long as it straddles and covers the two main bodies 2 from above. For example, instead of the arch-shaped attracting part 33, a solar radiation shield 3 having a gate-shaped attracting part 33 may be used.

In addition, according to the garbage processing apparatus 1 according to this embodiment, the main body 2 is formed in a box shape and can be used as a bench. Therefore, in the summer, the user can sit on the main body 2 and rest in the shade, and a shaded bench area can be provided.
