Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a garbage disposal device,
In particular, the present invention relates to a raw garbage processing apparatus suitable for households in which raw garbage is dried to reduce the weight volume and to prevent the spoilage of raw garbage.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the processing of kitchen garbage (garbage) generated at home, municipalities generally collect garbage twice a week, and it is necessary to store kitchen garbage at home for 2-3 days. Therefore, during storage of raw garbage, the raw garbage will be decomposed,
May give off a foul odor. Further, since the garbage contains a large amount of water, is heavy, drips, and is bulky, there is a problem that it takes a lot of time to take out the garbage to a garbage collection place. Furthermore, with the recent rapid increase in municipal waste, the limit of the amount of waste processed by local governments is approaching, and there is a demand for reducing the amount of waste itself.

As for the garbage disposal, a disposer for crushing garbage and flowing it into sewage is known. The disposer is usually attached to the bottom of the drainage port of a kitchen sink, and when the garbage is put into the drainage while pouring water, the garbage is finely crushed and discharged together with water into the sewer or drainage channel. Is. The disposer is extremely easy to handle and can be treated each time garbage is generated, and it can solve problems in handling garbage, but it causes new environmental problems such as water pollution of sewage.

That is, since the existing treatment plant is not designed on the assumption that the disposer is used, the discharge treatment load of the sewage treatment plant increases, and the combined sewer system overflows into the river when the flow rate suddenly increases due to heavy rain or the like. Therefore, there is a risk that it will flow out into the river and be polluted as it is, and there is a risk that clogging and corrosion of the sewer will be increased. In areas where sewers are not laid, crushed waste is discharged directly into rivers, which causes water pollution. In this way, because of the inconvenience in relation to the sewer and sewage treatment facilities, the use is restricted depending on the local government, such as prohibiting the use.

Therefore, a technique is proposed in which only the water that is compressed and dehydrated and squeezed out is discharged into a sewer or the like, and the solid content after dehydration is collected and collected for garbage collection without directly flowing the raw garbage crushed by a disposer. Has been done. However, in the above technique, the water is crushed by a disposer and then subjected to a compression dehydration step. Therefore, the squeezed water contains a large amount of organic substances and also fine dust, so that pollution of water quality is unavoidable.

[0006] There is also an apparatus for treating garbage which puts the garbage in a closed container and dries it with warm air or a heater to reduce the weight and volume.

[0007] For example, as this type of garbage processing apparatus,
A technique in which raw dust is put into a rotary drum in which a heater is embedded, and is rolled and dried by a rolling roller (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-194790) or a technique using a drying chamber and hot air (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. JP-A-61-27802).

[0008]

However, unlike the disposer, all of the above-mentioned proposed techniques cannot be processed in the kitchen sink, and the garbage is transferred to another garbage disposal device different from the sink and processed. . Therefore, it is necessary to transfer the raw garbage generated in the sink to a raw garbage processing device different from the sink, and further, after drying, it is necessary to take it out from a closed container. In order to throw it into the processing device, it is necessary to move the raw garbage by hand or in a container, which is inconvenient.

The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems in processing garbage and to treat the garbage generated in the sink as it is in the same manner as the disposer, which is suitable for household use which does not cause water pollution. To provide a simple garbage processing device.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for treating food waste suitable for domestic use, which ensures drainage.

Slide. As a result, the minute dust clogging between the eyes of the drainage drainboard 12 is removed. It also serves as a guide when the dust scraping plate 14 slides.

The transfer device 3 of this example is for transferring the raw garbage in the storage tank 1 to the crushing / drying tank 2, and the moving partition 31.
Is disposed so as to always close the opening 18 between the pulverization / drying tank 2 and the storage tank 1. The moving partition wall 31 is connected by a connecting rod 34 to a dust scraping power device 33 arranged via the crushing and drying tank 2. The dust scraping power unit 33 moves the moving partition wall 31 by expanding and contracting the connecting rod 34 by means of hydraulic or pneumatic devices, screw screws, etc., and known means can be used.

The crushing / drying tank 2 of this embodiment is adjacent to the storage tank 1 for crushing and stirring raw garbage. In the crushing / drying tank 2, the crusher 21 is located below the moving partition 31. It is provided. The crusher 21 of this example is of a drum type that faces each other and rotates in the opposite direction.
The garbage is cut into small pieces. Moreover, crushing drying tank 2
An opening / closing lid 81 is provided below the crusher 21 of
An exhaust pipe 24 is formed at an upper position of the crushing / drying tank 2. Further, a connecting portion 25 with the warm air circulation device 4 is formed at a position opposite to the opening 18 and close to the crusher 21. During the drying process, the crusher 21 continues to rotate to agitate the cut garbage and improve the drying efficiency.

The hot air circulation device 4 of this embodiment is provided with the connecting portion 25.
Is for blowing warm air into the crushing / drying tank 2, and is composed of an electric heater 41 and a blower fan 42. The warm air circulating device 4 is connected to the crushing / drying tank 2 by a pipe body 26.

The condenser 5 of this embodiment is for cooling and condensing water vapor generated in the pulverization / drying tank 2, and tap water flows through a pipe body 52 formed around the communication pipe 51. It has a structure that exchanges heat with the 51.
The exhaust pipe 24 and the drain pipe 51 formed in the upper part of the are communicated with each other. The communication pipe 51 is connected to the deodorizing device 7 via the following drainage device 6 and pipe body 63, respectively.

The drainage device 6 of this example is for discharging the water generated in the condenser 5, and is composed of a drainage valve 61 and a drainage pipe 62, and the drainage pipe 62 is connected to the drainage pipe 13. ing.

In the deodorizing device 7 of this example, one end side is connected to the communication pipe 51 by a pipe body 63, and the other end side is connected to the warm air circulation device 4 by a pipe body 72. The air from which water vapor has been removed through the condenser 5 passes through the deodorizer 7 to remove the odorous components contained therein. A part of the generated odor component is dissolved in the condensed water and discharged to the outside.

The collecting device 8 of this example is for collecting the raw garbage which has been subjected to the crushing and drying process, and is installed at the opening / closing cover 81 at the lower part of the crushing / drying tank 2 and the lower part of the opening / closing cover 81. It is composed of a collecting part, for example, a bag 82.

Next, the operation of the garbage disposal S having the above structure will be described. At all times, as shown in Figure 1,
The moving partition wall 31 closes the opening portion 18, and the raw garbage scraping plate 14 is positioned in close contact with the wall surface of the storage tank 1. Therefore, the garbage discharged from the discharge port of the sink N (that is, the charging port 11) is accumulated between the moving partition wall 31 and the garbage scraping plate 14 and on the drainer board 12 arranged on the storage tank 1. Then, the water attached to the garbage is dropped.

That is, when the garbage is put into the storage tank 1 through the garbage inlet 11, the garbage stays on the drainer board 12,
At this time, the water adhering to the garbage flows by gravity to the drain pipe 13 through the draining drainboard 12. In addition, the water flowing in from the sink N also passes through the drainer board 12 and the drain pipe 1
Flow to 3.

When a certain amount of garbage is accumulated in the storage tank 1, a switch (not shown) is turned on to drive the dust scraping power unit 33 to drive the connecting rod 34, the moving partition 31, as shown in FIG. Connecting rod 32, dust scraping plate 14
Is driven to transfer the raw garbage collected on the drainage drainboard 12 into the crushing and drying tank 2 through the opening 18. At this time, since the moving partition 31 is located above the crusher 21,
It does not interfere with the crusher 21.

In this way, the transfer device 3 moves the dust scraping plate 14 to the opening 18 side to transfer the raw waste accumulated in the storage tank 1 to the crushing / drying tank 2. As for the minute dust clogging up, the clogging prevention claw 16 is provided at the lower end portion of the dust scraping plate 14, and the clogging prevention claw 16 is longer than the vertical direction of the strip plate 17 (the plate thickness of the strip plate 17). It has a longer length) and slides into the gap 15 so that minute dust can
Be excluded from. Part of the removed dust falls into the drain pipe 13, but most of it is transferred to the crushing and drying tank 2.

In this way, the drainer board 12 of the storage tank 1
The raw dust is placed on the top to drop the adhering moisture, but each time the dust scraping plate 14 is operated as described above, the clogging prevention claw 1
Since 6 acts, there is no obstacle such as microscopic dust clogging between the eyes of drainboard, drainage and further deterioration of the cluttered dust.
Furthermore, it is possible to prevent insufficient drainage.

Thus, the garbage transferred to the crushing / drying tank 2 is finely crushed by the crusher 21 provided in the crushing / drying tank 2. At this time, the air heated by the electric heater 41 into the pulverization / drying tank 2 is blown by the blower fan 42.
The raw garbage is heated and dried while being crushed. During the drying process, the crusher 21 continues to rotate and agitates the cut garbage to improve the drying efficiency.

The steam generated from the heated garbage is guided to the condenser 5 through the exhaust pipe 24 together with the air. Here, the steam-containing air is cooled, and most of the steam is condensed. The condensed water is guided to the drain pipe 13 through the drain valve 61 and the drain pipe 62 and discharged to the outside. On the other hand, the air from which water vapor has been removed passes through the deodorizing device 7 to remove the odorous components contained therein. Part of the odor component generated at this time is dissolved in the condensed water and discharged to the outside. After that, the air reheated by the blower fan 42 and the electric heater 41 is sent into the crushing and drying tank 2. By repeating this, the garbage having evaporated water is dried.

When the raw garbage has been dried, the crushing and drying tank 2
The lower opening / closing lid 81 is opened, and the dry dust drops downward and is stored in the bag 82 installed here.

[0034]

According to the garbage disposal according to the present invention,
Unlike the conventional case, it is not necessary to convey and move to a garbage disposal device different from the sink, and the garbage generated in the sink can be processed as it is like the disposer. Therefore, there is no need to move the garbage by hand or in a container, and the troublesomeness can be prevented. Then, by crushing and drying after the water is accumulated to some extent, both the weight and volume can be reduced to 1/4 or less. In addition, since the spoilage of garbage can be prevented and it is hygienic and no offensive odor is generated, household garbage can be easily treated hygienically at home. In addition, it is a processing device that is useful for environmental protection because it does not emit substances that adversely affect the environment.
