Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To crush the garbage charged in a container by artificial stones to separate the same into moisture and fibers to facilitate the subsequent decomposition of garbage by installing a stirrer stirring the artificial stones within the container so as to crush garbage by the friction of the artificial stones and forming a drain port on the bottom part of the container. SOLUTION: Porous artificial stones (a) made of ceramic are stored in a container 1 and a stirrer 6 for stirring artificial stones (a) is disposed within the container 1 in a freely rotatable manner. Bacteria are added to the container and stirred by rotating a handle 9 not only to be diffused throughout the container 1 but also to be infiltrated into the tissues of the artificial stones (a) to be held thereto. When garbage is charged in the container 1 thus prepared and the handle 9 is rotated, the garbage is drawn into the gaps between the artificial stones (a) while bonded to bacteria and crushed to be separated into moisture and fibers. Separated moisture flows down to flow out of the container 1 while fibers remain in the gaps between the artificial stones (a) to be decomposed by the action of bacteria.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a food waste disposer capable of extremely easily processing food waste generated mainly at home.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The applicant of the present invention has an upper lid detachably attached to the top opening of a bottomed container, and an agitator is provided inside the container, and at least one of the container and the upper lid is provided with a vent. We have developed a food waste disposer (hereinafter referred to as a conventional food waste disposer) characterized by the above. (See Japanese Patent Application No. 6-197744)

[0003]

In the conventional food waste disposer, an appropriate amount of sawdust and microorganisms for decomposing food waste are put into a container to form a decomposing bed of food waste. When the garbage was put on the upper surface of the decomposition bed and stirred by a stirrer, the garbage was drawn into the sawdust and decomposed into water vapor and carbon dioxide while releasing water.

In order to dissipate the water vapor generated at that time, the conventional food waste disposer has a vent hole in one or both of the container and the upper lid. However, when the water discharged from the food waste becomes excessive. However, there is a problem in that the air cannot be completely released only by the above-mentioned vent hole, and the inside of the container becomes stubborn and a bad odor is generated.

[0005] Therefore, in the conventional food waste disposer, new scraps of ogre are replenished or replaced in proportion to the amount of food waste added so that the inside of the container does not become terrible, but this management is difficult. .

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and efficiently separates food waste put into a container into water and fibers, and keeps the inside of the container at an appropriate humidity. The present invention provides a food waste disposer capable of decomposing and eliminating fibers.

Further, the present invention provides an apparatus for disposing of food waste, in which artificial stone is used as a decomposition bed, so that it is almost unnecessary to replenish or replace the artificial stone.

That is, in the present invention, a friction stirrer for the artificial stone is provided in the container in which the raw garbage can be thrown so that the raw garbage put in the container can be crushed by friction of the artificial stone being stirred. At the same time, a drain port is provided at the bottom.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will be described with reference to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1. Reference numeral 1 denotes a container, a top opening 2 is provided with a removable upper lid 3, and a side wall at the bottom of the container 1 is an inner wall 4. The outer wall 5 is formed into a double wall structure.

A large amount of artificial stone a is stored in the container 1, and a stirrer 6 for stirring the artificial stone a is rotatably provided. The artificial stone a is preferably made of ceramics with a diameter of about 5 to 30 mm and is porous with an apparent specific gravity of about 0.5.

The stirrer 6 is formed by radially arranging a proper number of stirring blades 8 on a shaft 7 which rotatably penetrates the inner wall 4 and the outer wall 5 of the container 1, and penetrates the outer wall 5. A handle 9 is provided at one end of the shaft 7 that projects outward. The handle 9 is not limited to the embodiment, and may be a hand-operated type, a foot-operated type, or a power type, and may be appropriately selected and provided.

The bottom side wall of the container 1 has a double wall structure consisting of an inner wall 4 and an outer wall 5. In FIG. 1, a drain pipe 11 is provided to a drain port 10 at the center of the bottom so that water can pass freely. It leads to the outside.

In the above embodiment, when a considerable amount of artificial stone a is placed in the container 1, a proper amount of microorganisms is further added and the handle 9 is rotated and stirred, the microorganisms are not only scattered throughout the container 1. , Will also be retained in the texture of the porous artificial stone a.

When the garbage is put into the container 1 thus prepared and the handle 9 is turned, the garbage is attracted to the microorganisms and drawn into the artificial stone a to be crushed and separated into water and fibers. It The separated water flows downward and flows out of the container 1 in Example 1, and the fibers remain between the artificial stones a and are decomposed by the action of microorganisms.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment, in which the bottom of the container 1 is provided with a storage tank 12 having an inner wall 4 and an outer wall 5.
The inner wall 4 is provided with a large number of water passage holes 13 communicating with the storage tank 12. Further, a drain port 10 capable of storing water liquid is opened at an appropriate depth in the outer wall 5, and a faucet 14 that can be opened and closed is provided. The water liquid stored in the storage tank 12 is aged by the action of microorganisms and can be grown into high-quality water fertilizer.

[0016]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the garbage put in the container is crushed by artificial stones and separated into water and fibers, and the water flows down to the bottom of the container and is excessively discharged into the container. A suitable place for decomposing food waste is provided in the absence of water.

Further, the water liquid that has flowed down to the bottom of the container is aged in the storage tank, and there is an effect that it can be used as high-quality water fertilizer.

In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to manage it very easily by simply inserting an appropriate amount of artificial stone and hardly needing to replenish or replace it.
