[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is known a garbage disposal device for treating garbage by decomposition by microorganisms. This garbage processing apparatus is equipped with a stirrer for filling a processing material such as wood chips, in which microorganisms survive, into the processing chamber, and stirring the processing material in order to efficiently contact the garbage with the microorganisms. Further, since gas containing an odor component is generated along with the processing of raw garbage, a raw garbage processing apparatus provided with various deodorizing devices has been proposed. Examples of the deodorizing material used in this deodorizing device include an adsorbent such as activated carbon, ozone, or an ozone decomposition catalyst.

[0003]

However, such a garbage processing device has a problem in that the life of the deodorizing material is short and the replacement frequency is frequent in order to maintain the performance. It is presumed that a factor that shortens the life of the deodorizing material is that dust enters the deodorizing device from the processing chamber and adheres to the adsorbent and the catalyst.

The present invention has been made in view of the above facts, and an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for treating garbage that reduces the amount of dust generated in the treatment chamber and improves the life of the deodorizing device. It is in.

With the above configuration, when the stirrer 3 that generates a large amount of dust operates, the operation of the fan 6 is stopped or weakened to suppress the amount of dust that is inserted into the exhaust passage 5, and the humidity in the processing chamber 1 is maintained above a certain level. Suppress dust scattering. Further, the vibration of the vibrator 11 causes the dust adhering to the filter 12 to drop, and prevents the dust from being inserted into the exhaust passage 5.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the garbage treatment device according to the first aspect, wherein the water supply device 10 supplies water when the humidity of the processing chamber 1 is 20% or less. And

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention will be described in detail. FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing an outline of a food waste processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The apparatus for treating food waste of the present invention treats food waste by decomposition by microorganisms, and as shown in FIG.
Processing material 2 in which microorganisms survive in the processing chamber 1 for processing food waste
And a stirrer 3 for stirring the treatment material 2 in order to efficiently bring the above-mentioned garbage into contact with the microorganisms. Examples of the treatment material 2 include soil in which microorganisms inhabit and wood chips. The top surface of the processing chamber 1 is provided with an inlet 13 with a lid for introducing raw dust, a side wall on which a ventilation path 4 for supplying air and an exhaust path 5 for discharging gas are provided. The air passage 4 supplies air necessary for survival of microorganisms to the processing chamber 1. The exhaust passage 5 discharges a gas containing an odor component generated by the processing of the garbage, and the fan 6 and the deodorizing device 7 are provided in the exhaust passage 5.
Having. By operating the fan 6, gas is blown from the processing chamber 1 to the exhaust passage 5. The deodorizing device 7 purifies odorous components in the gas, and as the deodorizing device 7,
Examples are an adsorbent, ozone, a catalyst that decomposes ozone, and a catalyst that burns ozone. Examples of the adsorbent include activated carbon, activated alumina, silica gel, zeolite, and the like, and examples of the catalyst filter include alumina, silica, and the like, which are supported by platinum, palladium, manganese oxide, and the like. .

The garbage treating apparatus of the present invention is the agitator 3 described above.
And a controller 8 connected to the fan 6. The above-mentioned garbage processing device compulsorily operates the agitator 3 to stir the processing material 2 periodically or immediately after the garbage is introduced. Adjuster 8
Sends an electric signal to the fan 6 to stop or weaken the operation of the fan 6 when the stirrer 3 is operated, and to stop or reduce the blowing of gas into the exhaust passage 5. Adjuster 8
Therefore, when the stirrer 3 that generates a large amount of dust operates, the operation of the fan 6 can be stopped or weakened, and the amount of dust that enters the exhaust passage 5 can be suppressed.

Further, the above-mentioned garbage processing apparatus is provided in the processing chamber 1
Further, the humidity sensor 9 and the water supply device 10 are provided. The humidity sensor 9 measures the humidity in the processing chamber 1, and the water supply device 10 supplies water into the processing chamber 1 based on the detection result of the humidity sensor 9. By keeping the humidity in the processing chamber 1 above a certain level, it is possible to suppress the scattering of dust. The humidity of the processing chamber 1 is preferably 20% or more. Further, when the humidity is 20% or less, particularly 10% or less, the surface of the treatment material 2 becomes too thirsty, and the microorganisms dive deep into the surface so that they do not appear on the surface. The water supply may be a mechanism for automatically supplying water based on the detection result of the humidity sensor 9, or a mechanism for manually supplying water by alarming the lamp with a lamp or a buzzer.

The above-mentioned garbage processing apparatus is provided with a filter 12 at the inlet of the exhaust passage 5, and the filter 12 is provided with the vibrator 1
1 is attached. The filter 12 is installed so that its surface is inclined downward, and the dust captured by the filter 12 is dropped by the vibration of the vibrator 11 and dropped into the processing chamber 1.

The garbage processing apparatus of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment. For example, the shape of the inlet of the exhaust passage 5 has an oblique cut, and the dust dropped from the filter 12 follows the cut. A mechanism that drops into the processing chamber 1 may be used.

As described above, the garbage disposal of the present invention is
Since the amount of dust inserted in the exhaust passage 5 can be suppressed,
The life of the deodorizing device 7 is improved.

[0014]

According to the first or second aspect of the present invention, when the agitator 3 which generates a large amount of dust is operated, the operation of the fan 6 is stopped or reduced to insert it into the exhaust passage 5. The amount of dust generated is suppressed, and the humidity in the processing chamber 1 is maintained above a certain level to suppress the scattering of dust. Further, the vibration of the vibrator 11 causes the dust adhering to the filter 12 to drop, and prevents the dust from being inserted into the exhaust passage 5. Therefore, the amount of dust to be inserted into the exhaust passage 5 decreases, so that the life of the deodorizing device 7 can be improved.
