Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the title container compact in size and light in weight and obtain the easily movable container by a method wherein the container is so constituted that a temperature sensor provided at a place near an air inlet port is connected to a regenerating unit and to a blowing unit via a control unit. CONSTITUTION:When a refuse containing unit 6 constitutes an inside air circulation passage together with a dehumidifying unit 1, a regenerating unit 2 and a blowing unit 3 via air passages 5 with the aid of a damper 4, air in the refuse containing unit 6, which is induced by the blowing unit 3, is fed to the dehumidifying unit 1. In the case where humidity in the refuse containing unit 6 is high, the amount of air to be fed to the dehumidifying unit 1 is increased and, after being dehumidified by the dehumidifying unit 1, air fed returns to the refuse containing unit 6, therefore the interior of the refuse containing unit 6 is put into a low humidity state in an extremely short period of time, and refuse 11 is put into a dry state. Further, in the case where the humidity adsorption capacity of the dehumidifying unit 1 is deteriorated, the damper 4 is switched to change the inside air circulation over to a circulation stream of air other than air in the refuse containing unit 6, and heat is generated from a heat source device in the regenerating unit 2 to send hot air to the dehumidifying unit 1 to remove humidity from an adsorptive material. As a result, refuse in a refuse container can be rapidly dried and, in the case where the refuse is moved, the refuse becomes very light in weight to be easily handled.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a garbage storage for storing garbage in a dry state by blowing dry air.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional garbage storages use a refrigerator or the like to freeze the garbage to prevent unpleasant odors and moisture from leaking out.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, conventional garbage storages are very heavy and bulky because they are equipped with a freezer, making them difficult to install. There was a problem with restrictions on construction and installation locations.

Furthermore, since food waste contains a large amount of water, it is very heavy even when frozen and stored, making it difficult to move when collecting it.

The present invention solves the above problems and aims to provide a compact, lightweight, and easily movable garbage storage.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the garbage storage of the present invention connects the upstream side of the dehumidifying section having an adsorbent to the downstream side of the regeneration section having a heat source, and connects the upstream side of the regeneration section to the air blower. The upstream side of the air blowing section is connected to the intake port of the garbage storage section through an air path section having a damper, and the downstream side of the regeneration section is connected through an air path section having a damper. A humidity sensor is connected to the exhaust port of the garbage storage section and provided near the intake port, and the humidity sensor is connected to the regeneration section and the cold blower via a control section.

According to the above-described structure, when the damper forms an air path communicating with the garbage storage section, the air inside the garbage storage section is supplied to the dehumidification section by the wind induced in the blower section. The air supplied to the dehumidifying section is dehumidified there and then returned to the waste storage section.

Therefore, the air inside the garbage storage section becomes low humidity in a very short time, and the garbage inside the garbage storage section dries.

Note that when the humidity inside the garbage storage section is high, the amount of air blown is increased, the amount of air supplied to the dehumidifying section is increased, the dehumidification speed is increased, and the inside of the garbage storage section is quickly dried. Further, when the humidity inside the garbage storage section is low, the amount of air blown is reduced to maintain the inside of the garbage storage section in a low humidity state. at this point
Garbage storage facility operations will be suspended.

After the operation is stopped, when the garbage storage door is opened or closed or new garbage is put in, the humidity sensor detects the change in humidity, and the system operates with the amount and duration of air blowing according to the humidity level. Also, if the humidity adsorption capacity of the dehumidifier decreases,
Warm air is removed from the adsorbent by switching the damper to high-air circulation flow outside the garbage storage section, and sending heated air to the dehumidification section using the heat source device in the regeneration section. After sending hot air to the dehumidifier for a certain period of time, the heating by the heat source device is stopped,
When the temperature of the dehumidifying section decreases, the regeneration of the dehumidifying section ends.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, l is a dehumidifying section having an adsorbent, and its upstream side is connected to the downstream side of a regeneration section 2 having a heat source device. Reference numeral 3 denotes an air blowing section having an air blower connected upstream of the regeneration section 2. Upstream of the blowing section 3 is an air passage 5 having a damper 4.
It is connected to the intake lower of the garbage storage section 6 via. The damper 4 switches the space between the garbage storage section 6 and other spaces. Playback section 2. Air blower 3. The damper 4 is controlled by a control section 80. The garbage storage section 6 communicates with the dehumidification section 1 through an air passage 5. Reference numeral 9 denotes a humidity sensor that detects the humidity inside the garbage storage section 6, and its output is sent to the control section 8.

The downstream side of the dehumidifying section 1 is connected to the exhaust port 10 of the garbage storage section 6 via an air passage 5 having a damper.

Next, the operation of this configuration will be explained.

The damper 4 moves the waste storage section 6 into the dehumidifying section 1 via the air path 5.
, the regeneration section 2 and the blower section 3 form an inner circulation air passage.
The air inside the garbage storage section 6 induced by the blowing section 3 is supplied to the dehumidifying section 1. The amount of airflow and the time of airflow are determined according to the output value of the humidity sensor 9 installed in the garbage storage section 6.

That is, if the humidity inside the garbage storage section 6 is high, the dehumidifying section 1
Increase the amount of air supplied to the This supplied air is dehumidified in the dehumidifying section 1 and then returned to the garbage storage section 6, so that the inside of the garbage storage section 6 becomes in a low humidity state in an extremely short time. Therefore, the garbage 11 in the garbage storage section 6 is in a dry state.

In addition, if the hot air adsorption capacity of the dehumidifying section 1 decreases, the damper 4 is switched, the circulation flow is switched to the space other than the garbage storage section 6, and heat is generated by the heat source device of the regeneration section 2, and the dehumidifying section Moisture is removed from the adsorbent by blowing hot air through it. Hot air is sent to the dehumidifying part 1 for a certain period of time, and after the heat generation of the heat source device is stopped and the temperature of the dehumidifying part is lowered, the damper 4 is switched to return to the original circulating flow in the garbage storage part 6.

As a result, Y! This is a reproduction of Part I.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the garbage storage of the present invention provides the following effects.

(1) Moist air in the garbage storage is forcibly sent to the dehumidifying section to turn it into dry air, thereby making it possible to quickly dry the garbage in the garbage storage.

(2) By drying the garbage, the peculiar odor of garbage can be reduced.

(3) By drying the garbage, it becomes much lighter and easier to handle when moving it.

(4) Since the structure is simpler than that of conventional garbage storages that have a refrigerator, etc., the entire structure is lighter and construction is easier.

(5) Since the structure is simpler than that of conventional garbage storage, the entire structure is compact, and when the overall capacity is limited, the volume of the garbage storage section can be increased.
