The bacteria used in this example are aerobic. Known aerobic bacteria can be used, and, for example, soil bacteria and the like are examples. This base material is appropriately replenished.

When a switch (not shown) is turned on, the motor 75 is driven, the sprocket is rotated via the speed reducer, and the sprocket on the rotating shaft is rotated via the chain. As a result, the rotating shaft of the stirring blade is rotated, and the stirring rod integrated with the rotating shaft is rotated.
The garbage in 0 is stirred with the substrate.

The stirring blades of the garbage disposal apparatus S of the present invention are driven and stopped at predetermined time intervals. For example, in this example, the rotation speed is set to 2 rotations per minute, and the interval is set to 5 minutes after the operation for 10 minutes (8 to 12 minutes).
Stop for 0 minutes (45 to 55 minutes). When the input port 25 and the discharge port 27 are opened, the driving is immediately stopped.

When the input port 25 and the discharge port 27 are closed, a new drive is performed for 10 minutes even during the drive for 10 minutes or during the stop time for 50 minutes. And 10
After the minute is driven, it is stopped for another 50 minutes. This is because when the input port 25 is open as described above, fresh garbage is often input, exposure to the outside air requires stirring for processing, and the temperature is uniform. And so on.

If the heater 80 is provided with a temperature sensor (not shown) for detecting the outside air temperature so as to operate when the outside air temperature is 15 ° C. or less, the heater 80 is operated only when necessary. Power consumption can be reduced. Further, a power lamp (not shown) may be formed in the garbage processing apparatus S of the present embodiment. The power lamp is always lit in a normal energized state. In this lighting, a green lamp (comprising a light emitting diode or the like) indicating a driving state is always lit, and a red lamp (in the case of an opening of an inlet or an outlet, an abnormal state (a failure of a driving system), etc.) It is configured to be a display).

In some cases, the garbage disposal apparatus S may be installed outdoors such as a veranda. At this time, the garbage disposal device S
The power required to operate the air conditioner is supplied from the main power supply of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner or from an outlet branched off from the main power supply, so that the indoor environment is not affected by the outside air without opening the indoor door with the power supply. Can be prevented from deteriorating. That is, power is supplied by inserting the plug of the garbage disposal device into an outlet for supplying power to the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. Alternatively, an outlet is formed in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, and power is supplied from the outlet. At this time, for example, when the outdoor unit is not 100v (may be 200v)
Converts the voltage of the air conditioner to a predetermined voltage used in the garbage disposal apparatus S.

As described above, in the garbage disposal apparatus of the present invention, a duct as an exhaust passage is provided at the exhaust port formed in the processing tank. Is discharged through. Therefore, even when there is a difference between the temperature of the processing tank and the outside air temperature, the warm air in the processing tank is discharged through the duct, so that it is possible to prevent the occurrence of dew condensation in the garbage processing apparatus. . Further, since the duct and the filter are configured to be detachable, when they become dirty, they can be removed and easily cleaned.

Further, a filter is provided at the exhaust port, and the air exhausted from the processing tank passes through the filter and is then exhausted to a duct serving as an exhaust passage. Therefore, even if dust is mixed in the air exhausted from the processing tank, the dust is adsorbed by the filter, and the dust can be prevented from being discharged to the living room or the outside.

Further, by forming the exhaust port on the back side of the processing tank, the duct provided in the exhaust port is hidden behind the garbage disposal apparatus so that it is difficult to see, so that the appearance is favorable. It can be.

Furthermore, by connecting at least the end of the duct located on the outside to the outside, all the air and dew water in the treatment tank can be discharged outside, and the vicinity of the place where the garbage disposal device is installed can be removed. Can always be kept comfortable.

The filter comprises a frame having an opening, and a mesh-like filter medium covering the opening of the frame, and by changing the size of the opening, air from the processing tank is changed. It is preferable to increase or decrease the discharge amount. The opening of the filter is configured to be enlarged as the humidity increases. Therefore, the amount of exhaust air from the processing tank can be reduced in summer when the air is dry, and the amount of ventilation can be freely adjusted by increasing the amount of ventilation during the humid rainy season. Humidity can always be kept appropriately.
