Description

Volume reduction and volume reduction treatment device

The present invention relates to a weight reduction and volume reduction treatment device. More specifically, it is about a weight-reduction and volume-reduction treatment device that can reduce the volume and volume of wastes containing water such as water-containing garbage.

In the past, in order to reduce the cost of discarding garbage generated in households, etc., technologies for reducing the amount and volume of garbage were developed. If the garbage can be reduced in weight and volume, the transportation cost and combustion cost of the garbage can be reduced, and the global warming gas can also be reduced. In addition, the space for storing garbage at home can be reduced, and the storage period for suppressing spoilage can be increased to some extent. In this way, advantages such as reducing the number of times of garbage disposal can also be obtained.

For example, wastes containing water such as water-containing wastes discharged from households may generate foul odors due to corruption or the like during storage. In order to solve this problem, an apparatus for drying wastes containing moisture by warm air has been developed (Patent Documents 1 and 2).

In the case of supplying warm air to waste, there are a method of supplying it from the top surface of the waste and a method of supplying it from the bottom surface. In Patent Documents 3 and 4, techniques of supplying warm air from the lower part of the waste to dry the waste are disclosed. .

In the technique of Patent Document 3, a ventilation cage with ventilation is housed inside a metal storage container without ventilation, and warm air passing through the gap between the container and ventilation cage enters the ventilation cage from the lower part of the ventilation cage Inside, it can come into contact with the waste stored in the bag body in the ventilation cage.

In the technique of Patent Document 4, a configuration is adopted in which air holes are provided only in the upper part and the bottom part of the cylindrical refuse storage/heating space, and heated air is supplied from the air holes in the bottom part.

Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent No. 5060669

Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent No. 5959129

Patent Document 3: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-153553

Patent Document 4: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-96267

However, in the technique of Patent Document 3, warm air is supplied from the upper part of the storage container, and the ventilation holes of the ventilation cage are also provided outside the bottom of the ventilation cage. In this way, even if a ventilation passage is formed between the storage container and the ventilation cage, the warm air can easily enter from the upper part or the side of the bag body, and it is difficult to supply warm air to the waste inside the bag body from the lower part.

On the other hand, in the technique of Patent Document 4, it is possible to reliably supply warm air from the lower part to the waste in the waste storage/heating space. However, there is a heating element installed near the garbage storage/heating space, so if moisture is removed from the waste If the waste drops and touches the heating element, it prevents the temperature of the heating element from rising. As a result, the warm air having the temperature required for drying the waste cannot be supplied into the waste storage/heating space, and the waste cannot be stably dried. In addition, the water dripped from the waste is in a state of being in constant contact with the heating element, so that the corrosion of the heating element and the like may occur.

As described above, in the conventional apparatus for drying waste by warm air, it is substantially difficult to supply warm air from the bottom of the container for storing waste to dry it, and such apparatus has not yet been developed at present.

That is, by heating the air supply part 20, heated air is circulated between the storage space 10h and the space 2h.

In addition, the plurality of discharge ports 10k on the discharge surface 10f are preferably formed so as to cover the entire circumference of the storage space 10h of the cassette storage portion 10 . In this way, the heated air entering the storage space 10h from the recessed portion 10d flows over the entire circumference of the storage space 10h, so that the flow of the air in the storage space 10h can be easily made uniform. In this case, the method of providing the plurality of discharge ports 10k on the discharge surface 10f is not particularly limited. For example, a plurality of discharge ports 10k having substantially the same shape may be provided on the entire discharge surface 10f (ie, the entire circumference of the cartridge housing portion 10 ) at equal angular intervals along the inner surface of the cartridge housing portion 10 . In addition, a plurality of discharge ports 10k of different shapes may be provided on the entire circumference of the cartridge housing portion 10 , and a plurality of discharge ports 10k of the same shape may be provided on the entire circumference of the cartridge housing portion 10 at unequal intervals.

Further, the discharge surface 10f having the plurality of discharge ports 10k may be formed so as not to cover the entire circumference of the storage space 10h. In this case, if the discharge surface 10f having the plurality of discharge ports 10k is formed in a certain range of the cassette housing portion 10, the flow of air can be uniformized to some extent.

In addition, the arrangement position of the supply port 10c and the discharge port 10k is not necessarily limited to the said position. It is only necessary to arrange so that the heated air entering into the storage space 10h of the cassette storage part 10 from the supply port 10c flows upward from the bottom in the storage space 10h. For example, the supply port 10c may be formed on the side surface near the bottom of the storage space 10h further downward than the upper end of the built-in box 50 . In addition, the recessed part 10d may not be provided in the bottom surface of the cassette accommodating part 10, but the through-hole may be provided in the bottom part of the accommodating space 10h, and may be used as the supply port 10c. Further, if the discharge port 10k is at the side of the storage space 10h of the box storage portion 10, if it is a position where the storage space 10h and the space 2h can be communicated, and the built-in box 50 is placed in the storage space 10h, the supply of of heated air at least Most of the positions passing through the built-in box 50 can be installed anywhere. That is, as long as it is a place where all the heated air supplied from the supply port 10c into the storage space 10h does not take a shortcut from the supply port 10c to the discharge port 10k, it may be installed anywhere.

In addition, there is an advantage that the above-mentioned effects can be obtained by arranging the plurality of discharge ports 10k of the discharge surface 10f at the positions as described above. However, the discharge port 10k is provided so that the heated air can be appropriately passed through the object to be processed in the built-in box 50 in the state where the built-in box 50 is arranged, and the heated air that has passed through the object to be processed can be discharged to the space 2h. , the installation position of the discharge port 10k is not particularly limited. Naturally, the discharge surface 10f as described above may not be provided, and the discharge port 10k may be formed on the side surface of the storage space 10h only as an opening for connecting the storage space 10h and the space 2h.

<Heating Air Supply Section 20>

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 5 , in the lower part of the box housing section 10 in the cover box 2 , the airflow forming section 21 of the heating air supply section 20 is provided. The airflow forming part 21 opens the air suction port in the space 2h of the covering case 2, and the discharge port communicates with the supply port 10c of the storage space 10h through the supply flow path 22. On the other hand, the airflow formation part 21 is provided so that the discharge port may face the horizontal direction (horizontal direction). That is, the airflow formation part 21 is provided so that the air may be discharged in the direction intersecting with the direction in which the air flows in the storage space 10h.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 , the supply flow path 22 is provided so as to connect the supply port of the airflow forming portion 21 to the supply port 10c provided in the recessed portion 10d of the storage space 10h. Specifically, the supply channel 22 has a structure that is bent in a substantially U-shape when viewed from the side. More specifically, the supply flow path 22 is composed of the following elements: straight flow paths 22a, 22b separated by a partition wall 22d; and a reverse flow path 22c, one end of the straight flow paths 22a, 22b The parts (right end parts in FIGS. 1 and 5 ) are connected and have a substantially cylindrical inner surface. Among these straight flow paths 22a and 22b, the other end of the lower flow path 22a (the left end in FIGS. 1 and 5 ) is formed with the airflow The supply port of the portion 21 communicates with the supply port 10c, and one end portion (the left end portion in FIGS. 1 and 5 ) of the upper flow path 22b communicates with the supply port 10c.

The supply flow path 22 is provided with a heating unit 25 that heats the air flowing in the supply flow path 22 . The heating part 25 is, for example, a heater installed in the lower flow path 22a, and can heat the air to a predetermined temperature (eg, 90 degrees or more) by bringing the air into contact with the heating part 25 .

Therefore, when the airflow forming part 21 of the heated air supply part 20 is activated, the air in the wrapping box 2 can be heated to a predetermined temperature, and the heated air (heated air) can be supplied to the storage space 10h through the supply port 10c Inside.

In addition, the air in the storage space 10h (for example, heated air after contact with the object to be processed) is discharged from the discharge port 10k into the space 2h of the covering box 2 . Therefore, when the airflow forming part 21 is activated, the heated air can be circulated in the order of the space 2h covering the cassette 2, the heated air supply part 20, the accommodating space 10h of the cassette accommodating part 10, and the space 2h covering the cassette 2. In this way, since the air is heated several times by the heating unit 25, it is easy to maintain the temperature of the heated air supplied into the storage space 10h at a predetermined temperature or higher. In addition, the energy required to heat the air to a predetermined temperature by the heating unit 25 can also be reduced. Moreover, even if the heating period by the heating part 25, ie, the time in which the air is in contact with the heating part 25, is shortened, it is easy to raise the heated air to a predetermined temperature. In this way, since the flow velocity of the airflow formed by the airflow forming part 21 can also be accelerated, the flow velocity of the heated air in the storage space 10h of the box storage part 10 can also be made faster, so that the drying of the object to be processed can be increased. efficiency.

The heating air supply part 20 may supply all the air discharged from the airflow forming part 21 to the supply port 10c, but it is preferable to discharge part of the air to the introduction flow path 31 of the exhaust part 30. this love In this case, a part of the heated air is discharged to the outside from the exhaust part 30, so the air pressure in the space 2h of the casing 2 is lowered, and new air is introduced into the casing from the gap 4h of the outer casing 4 through the air inlet 2g. In the space 2h of the cover box 2. That is, a certain amount of air (about 2 to 20% of the volume of the storage space 10h) can be circulated, and a certain amount of fresh air can be introduced into the storage space 10h. In this way, the humidity of the circulating air can be suppressed to a certain range (about 0 to 50% in a state where the operation of the device is stable), so that the drying of the object to be treated by heating air can be effectively performed. . In addition, the state in which the operation of the device is stable means a state in which a certain amount of time has elapsed from the start of the operation of the device, and the device is in a state of steady operation.

In addition, the configuration of the reverse flow passage 22c is not particularly limited, and it is sufficient that air can smoothly flow from the lower flow passage 22a to the upper flow passage 22b. For example, if the inner bottom surface 22f of the reversing flow path 22c is a substantially cylindrical surface or a substantially spherical surface when viewed from the side, the air can flow smoothly from the lower flow path 22a to the upper flow path 22b (see Fig. 1 and Figure 5).

Furthermore, in the above-mentioned example, although the heating part 25 is provided in the lower flow path 22a, the heating part 25 may be provided in the upper flow path 22b. However, if the heating part 25 is provided in the lower flow path 22a, it becomes easy to make the temperature of the air uniform between the air flowing from the heating part 25 to the supply port 10c. In this way, the temperature of the heated air supplied into the storage space 10h can be made close to uniform, so that the temperature of the air flowing in the storage space 10h can be made close to uniform. In addition, since the heating part 25 is located on the upstream side of the reverse flow path 22c, even if water or the like enters the supply flow path 22, the possibility of the water coming into contact with the heating part 25 can be reduced. In this way, damage to the heating portion 25 due to contact with moisture can be prevented, thereby increasing the service life of the device.

On the other hand, in order to make the temperature of the heating air nearly uniform, the inner bottom surface 22f of the reversing flow path 22c is preferably structured to disturb the flow of the air. For example, as the inner bottom surface 22f of the reverse flow passage 22c, it is also possible to adopt a shape that generates flow in a direction (horizontal direction) intersecting with the direction from the lower flow passage 22a to the upper flow passage 22b. E.g, A method of providing two spherical inversion surfaces or a plurality of cylindrical surfaces whose axial directions are along the up-down direction may be employed on the inner bottom surface 22f of the inversion flow path 22c.

In addition, the airflow forming part 21 is, for example, a multi-blade fan, an axial flow propeller fan, or the like, but is not particularly limited. However, if the suction port of the air is made perpendicular to the discharge port like a multi-blade fan, even if the discharge port of the airflow forming part 21 is arranged as described above, advantages such as shortening the vertical length of the device are obtained.

Furthermore, the airflow formation part 21 may be arrange|positioned so that the direction which discharges air from the discharge port may become the same direction as the direction in which the air flows in the storage space 10h. In this case, it is preferable to arrange|position so that the discharge port of the airflow formation part 21 may become a position shifted from the downward direction of the center of the accommodation space 10h. In this way, the supply flow path 22 connecting the discharge port of the airflow forming portion 21 and the supply port 10c is likely to be in a meandering state, etc., so the advantages such as preventing water from flowing into the airflow forming portion 21 and reducing pressure loss are obtained.

<Exhaust part 30>

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 , a part of the air discharged from the discharge port of the airflow forming part 21 becomes the introduction flow path 31 flowing from the branch port 22v of the supply flow path 22 to the discharge part 30, and the branch port 22v is provided. Between the discharge port of the airflow forming part 21 and the position where the heating part 25 is provided.

The exhaust portion 30 includes an introduction flow path 31 , a purification member storage portion 32 , and an exhaust flow path 33 . That is, when the air discharged from the airflow forming part 21 flows into the introduction flow path 31 , the air flows into the purification member storage part 32 through the introduction flow path 31 . Then, the air that has flowed into the purification member accommodating portion 32 is purified by the purification member 35 in the purification member accommodating portion 32 , and then discharged to the outside through the exhaust flow path 33 . In addition, the exhaust The arrangement and shape of the introduction flow path 31 , the purification member storage portion 32 , and the exhaust flow path 33 of 30 are not particularly limited, and for example, the arrangement and shape may be as follows.

<Purification member accommodating part 32>

First, the purification member accommodating part 32 accommodates the purification member 35 which purifies the air. The purification member accommodating part 32 is provided in the side space of the cassette accommodating part 10 in the covering case 2 . The purification member 35 is accommodated in the purification member accommodating portion 32 , and the air discharged to the outside is discharged to the outside after passing through the purification member 35 . In this way, when the object to be processed is processed by the device, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the environment around the device due to the air exhausted from the device. In addition, as the purification member 35, for example, a conventional deodorant, a filter for removing harmful components contained in the air, activated carbon, or the like can be used.

<Introduction channel 31>

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 , an introduction flow path 31 is provided between the purification member housing portion 32 and the branch port 22v of the supply flow path 22 . The introduction flow path 31 is only required to communicate between the purification member housing portion 32 and the supply flow path 22 , and it is sufficient to supply heated air partially flowing in the supply flow path 22 to the purification member housing portion 32 , and there is no configuration or the like. Specially limited. For example, the introduction flow path 31 can be formed as follows.

The introduction flow path 31 includes a bottom flow path 31a that communicates with the branch port 22v. The bottom flow path 31a is provided below the lower flow path 22a along the lower flow path 22a to below the reverse flow path 22c.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 6 , the bottom flow path 31a is connected to the lower end of a pair of lead direct current paths 31b and 31b extending upward, below the reverse flow path 22c. The pair of lead direct current paths 31b and 31b are arranged so as to sandwich the reverse flow path 22c on both sides of the reverse flow path 22c.

Between the pair of lead direct current paths 31b, 31b and the purification member housing portion 32, a deceleration portion 31c is provided. This deceleration part 31c is provided in order to decelerate the flow velocity of the air which flows in from a pair of plumb-straight path 31b, 31b, and has a labyrinth structure, for example. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the deceleration part 31c has an upper space as, a lower space bs, and a side flow path ss; The lower space bs and the upper space as are separated by the partition wall ds, and the lower space bs and the upper space as communicate with each other by the lateral flow path ss provided on the side of the upper space as. By adopting such a structure, the air which flows into the lower space bs from the pair of lead-flow paths 31b, 31b does not flow directly into the upper space as. That is, the air which flows upwards from the pair of lead straight paths 31b and 31b and flows into the lower space bs is converted into a horizontal flow, and then flows upwards again and flows into the purification member accommodating part 32 . In addition, the direction in which the air flows from the lower space bs to the side flow path ss intersects with the direction in which the air flows from the side flow path ss to the upper space as. With such a structure, the flow velocity of the air flowing into the purification member accommodating portion 32 can be reduced.

<Exhaust flow path 33>

As shown in FIGS. 1 , 2 , and 4 , the lid portion 3 is provided with an exhaust flow path 33 for discharging the air flowing out from the purification member housing portion 32 to the outside. The exhaust flow path 33 is a flow path that communicates between the inlet port 33a and the exhaust port 33b, the inlet port 33a being provided at a position facing the purification member accommodating portion 32 when the lid portion 3 is closed, and the exhaust gas The port 33b is provided on the top surface of the lid portion 3 . For example, the introduction port 33a is provided in two places on the inner surface of the cover portion 3 (refer to FIG. 4(B) ). Moreover, as shown in FIG. 8, the exhaust port 33b is provided in the outer surface of the cover part 3 along the outer periphery of the cover part 3. As shown in FIG. In addition, in the cover part 3, the structure of the exhaust flow path 33 is not specifically limited. In addition, the installation number of the introduction ports 33a, the installation position and shape of the exhaust port 33b, etc. are not specifically limited either.

<resistance member 33c>

In addition, in the state which closed the cover part 3, the resistance member 33c (refer FIG. 2 and FIG. 4(A)) is provided between the inner surface of the cover part 3 and the top surface of the purification member accommodating part 32. The resistance member 33c is formed at a position corresponding to the introduction port 33a of the cover portion 3 so as to increase the flow resistance of the air passing through the resistance member 33c. In this way, the flow of the air passing through the purification member 35 in the purification member accommodating portion 32 can be made nearly uniform.

The method of changing the flow resistance in the resistance member 33c is not particularly limited. For example, when the resistance member 33c has a slit shape as shown in FIG. 4, the inclination of the position corresponding to the introduction port 33a (that is, the part where the resistance increases) with respect to the slit in the vertical direction may be adopted. (In other words, the inclination with respect to the direction perpendicular to the inner surface of the cover part 3) is larger than other parts.

The weight reduction and volume reduction processing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment has the same structure as described above. Therefore, when the heating air supply unit 20 is activated, the storage space 10h of the cassette storage unit 10 can be formed from the bottom of the storage space 10h toward the upper side. The flow of heated air. In this way, when the built-in box 50 having the ventilation at the bottom is arranged in the storage space 10h, the heated air can also flow in the built-in box 50 so as to open from the bottom to the upper portion. Since the heated air flows from the bottom of the built-in box 50, even if the drying and volume reduction of the object to be processed in the built-in box 50 progresses, the heated air is in contact with the object to be processed, specifically, the object to be processed. Since the distance from the supply port 10c remains unchanged, the drying efficiency for drying the object to be processed can be improved.

In addition, since the heated air circulates between the space 2h covering the box 2 and the storage space 10h of the box housing part 10, the energy required for heating the air can be reduced.

In addition, a part of the heated air circulating between the space 2h covering the cassette 2 and the interior space 10h of the cassette accommodating portion 10 is discharged to the outside through the exhaust portion 30 . On the other hand, the outside air introduced into the outer case 4 from the external air intake port 4g is introduced into the space 2h covering the case 2 through the air intake port 2g. such a The heating air can be circulated, and a part of the air that is in contact with the object to be treated and the humidity becomes high is replaced by the outside air with low humidity. Therefore, the humidity of the heated air can be maintained in a certain range, so that the drying efficiency can be improved.

<Built-in box 50>

The built-in box 50 is housed in the storage space 10h of the box storage section 10 in a state in which a to-be-processed object such as water-containing waste is placed. The object to be processed is brought into contact with the heated air so as to be kept stored in the inner box 50 to reduce its volume and dry it.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 , the built-in box 50 has a structure in which the bottom has air permeability, and the heated air is supplied to the inside from the bottom. The built-in box 50 can be used in the weight-reduction and volume-reduction processing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment if it has a structure in which the bottom has air permeability. However, if it has the following structure, the water|moisture content of a to-be-processed object can be suppressed from leaking from the bottom surface of the built-in box 50. In this way, the following advantages are obtained; the water droplets can be prevented from flowing into the airflow forming part 21, and the contamination of the storage space 10h by the moisture of the object to be processed, etc. can be suppressed.

In addition, "the leakage of the moisture of the object to be processed in the built-in box 50 from the bottom surface of the built-in box 50 can be suppressed" as described herein also includes the case where no water leaks at all, and the case where only a little water leaks. . A little water leakage refers to the degree to which water droplets drip into the storage space within 10 hours.

<An example of the built-in box 50>

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 , the built-in case 50 is composed of a main body case 51 and a liquid receiving tray 52 .

<Body case 51>

The main body case 51 is a bottomed cylindrical member having an opening 51a at the upper end, and its cross-sectional shape is formed into a slightly oblong shape. The main body case 51 is formed so that the bottom 51b has air permeability. For example, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 , a slit 51s and a through hole 51g are formed in the bottom 51b, and the space between the storage space 51h of the main case 51 and the outside can be ventilated through the slit 51s and the through hole 51g. That is, the heated air enters the storage space 51h of the main body case 51 through the slit 51s and the through hole 51g.

In addition, the bottom 51b of the main body box 51 forms a low-pass liquid area A with low liquid permeability at the center thereof; B. Specifically, the low-pass liquid region A is formed so that the narrow slit 51s (for example, about 0.5 to 2 mm in width) extends from the center toward the periphery. In other words, the low-pass liquid region A is formed so that the central portion of the main body case 51 has the highest position and is inclined toward the periphery from there. That is, the low-pass liquid region A is an inclined surface inclined downward from the central portion toward the peripheral portion. Therefore, when the liquid drips into the low-pass liquid region A, the liquid tends to flow along the surface of the low-pass liquid region A along the axial direction of the slit 51s rather than passing through the slit 51s.

In addition, the angle of the inclined surface of the low-pass liquid region A is not particularly limited, and may be an angle that allows the liquid to easily flow along the axial direction of the slit 51s.

In the above description, the case where the low-pass liquid region A is an inclined surface that slopes downward from the central portion of the main body case 51 toward the peripheral portion has been described. The position offset to either side has the highest position.

Furthermore, the low-pass liquid region A does not necessarily have to be an inclined surface, and may be a surface (flat surface) that is not inclined to the horizontal.

<Liquid receiving tray 52>

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 , the liquid receiving tray 52 is attached so as to cover the outer surface of the bottom portion 51 b of the main body case 51 . The liquid receiving tray 52 includes an opening 52a into which the bottom portion 51b of the main body case 51 is inserted, and a vent portion 52h is provided in the center portion of the bottom portion 52b. The ventilation portion 52h is a through hole penetrating the bottom portion 52b of the liquid receiving tray 52, and has a wall-shaped portion erected around the ventilation portion 52h. Moreover, between the wall-shaped part standing up around the ventilation part 52h and the edge part of the liquid receiving tray 52, the liquid storage part 52g which can store liquid is provided.

The ventilation portion 52h is formed so as to be positioned below the low-passage liquid region A when the liquid receiving tray 52 is attached to the bottom portion 51b of the main body case 51 . In addition, the ventilation part 52h is formed so that the area in a plan view is smaller than the area of the low-flow liquid region A in a plan view. That is, when the main body case 51 is viewed from above in a state where the liquid receiving tray 52 is attached to the bottom portion 51b of the main body case 51, the entire ventilation portion 52h is hidden by the low-pass liquid region A. The receiving tray 52 forms the ventilation part 52h.

Moreover, the liquid receiving tray 52 is formed in the shape which arrange|positions the ventilation part 52h above the recessed part 10d when the built-in cassette 50 is set in the accommodation space 10h of the cassette accommodating part 10. For example, the liquid receiving tray 52 is formed in a shape slightly similar to the cross-sectional shape of the storage space 10h in plan view.

In addition, the liquid receiving tray 52 is formed so that when the built-in box 50 is placed in the storage space 10h of the box storage part 10 in a state where the liquid receiving tray 52 is attached to the bottom part 51b of the main body case 51, the bottom part 52b is not The surface is in close contact with the inner bottom surface of the storage space 10h (refer to FIGS. 1 and 5 ).

If the built-in box 50 has the above-mentioned structure, when the built-in box 50 is arranged in the storage space 10h, the ventilation portion 52h of the liquid receiving tray 52 can be stably arranged above the recessed portion 10d. In this way, most of the heated air supplied from the heated air supply part 20 to the recessed part 10d can be surely supplied to the bottom part 51b of the main body case 51 through the ventilation part 52h of the liquid receiving tray 52 .

In addition, the low-passage area A of the bottom 51b of the main body case 51 is located above the ventilation portion 52h, so that the water droplets that pass through the ventilation portion 52h and drop to the recessed portion 10d can be reduced as much as possible.

When the built-in box 50 is arranged in the storage space 10h, if the ventilation portion 52h is arranged above the concave portion 10d, the liquid receiving tray 52 does not necessarily have to have a shape similar to the cross-sectional shape of the storage space 10h. For example, a positioning protrusion or the like may be provided on the outer surface of the liquid receiving tray 52 (or the outer surface of the main body box 51 or in the storage space 10h), and positioning by the protrusions or the like may provide a ventilation portion above the concave portion 10d. 52h. When positioned in this way, the ventilation part 52h of the liquid receiving tray 52 can also be stably arranged above the recessed part 10d.

<Other structures of the built-in box 50>

In the built-in case 50 described above, a space (a space serving as a liquid storage portion 52g) is formed between the bottom portion 51b of the main body case 51 and the top surface of the liquid receiving tray 52 . Through this space, heated air is supplied to a portion of the high-flux region B or the low-flux region A that is not located above the ventilation portion 52h. This space may be a single space as a whole, or may be divided into a plurality of ventilation spaces as described below. If it is divided into a plurality of ventilation spaces, it is possible to adjust the flow rate of the heated air supplied to each part in the storage space 51h of the main body case 51 through each ventilation space to an appropriate flow rate.

For example, when the object to be processed is stored offset in the storage space 51h of the main body box 51, a large amount of heated air tends to flow to a small part of the object to be processed. However, if the space between the bottom 51b of the main body case 51 and the top surface of the liquid receiving tray 52 is divided into a plurality of ventilation spaces, then the area in the storage space 51h of the main body case 51 that communicates with each ventilation space can be separated. Supply approximately the same amount of heated air.

As shown in FIGS. 11 to 13 , a separation wall 51w is provided on the bottom portion 51b of the main body case 51 . The separation wall 51w includes a vertical separation wall 51w1 extending in the longitudinal direction of the main body case 51 . The vertical separation wall 51w1 is provided so as to divide the low-pass liquid region A and the high-pass liquid region B into two in the width direction (the vertical direction in FIG. 12 ). In addition, the plurality of separation walls 51w are provided with horizontal separation walls 51w2 extending in the short-axis direction (left-right direction) of the main body case 51 . The horizontal separation wall 51w2 is provided so as to divide the low-pass liquid region A and the high-pass liquid region B into two in the left-right direction (left-right direction in FIG. 12 ) by the vertical separation wall 51w1. Further, the plurality of separation walls 51w are provided with oblique separation walls 51w3 that each divide the low-pass liquid region A and the high-pass liquid region B into two by the vertical separation wall 51w1 and the horizontal separation wall 51w2. That is, the vertical separation wall 51w1, the horizontal separation wall 51w2, and the oblique separation wall 51w3 of the separation wall 51w are provided to divide the low-pass liquid region A and the high-pass liquid region B into eight.

The vertical separation wall 51w1, the horizontal separation wall 51w2, and the oblique separation wall 51w3 of the separation wall 51w are formed so that their lower ends are in contact with the top surface of the liquid receiving tray 52 when the main body case 51 is mounted on the liquid receiving tray 52. length (or length to the extent that a tiny gap is formed). That is, the distance from the top surface of the liquid receiving tray 52 to the bottom surface of the bottom part 51b of the main body case 51 in the corresponding position is set to be almost the same length as the height of the separation wall 51w (refer to FIG. 11(B) ). , Figure 13(A)). In addition, the vertical separation wall 51w1, the horizontal separation wall 51w2, and the oblique separation wall 51w3 of the separation wall 51w are provided at positions corresponding to the ventilation portion 52h of the liquid receiving tray 52 to serve as the ventilation portion 52h from the liquid receiving tray 52 The distance L from the upper end to the highest position of the bottom surface of the bottom portion 51b of the main body case 51 is about half (refer to FIGS. 11(B) and 13(A) ).

Since the present invention has such a structure, when the main body case 51 is attached to the liquid receiving tray 52, a plurality of ventilation spaces are formed between the bottom 51b of the main body case 51 and the top surface of the liquid receiving tray 52. In addition, since the vertical separation wall 51w1, the horizontal separation wall 51w2, and the oblique separation wall 51w3 of the separation wall 51w are provided at the positions of the low-pass liquid area A, when viewed from the bottom of the built-in box 50, a part of the entire ventilation space is separated from the liquid. The ventilation part 52h of the receiving tray 52 overlaps (refer FIG. 12(B)).

In this way, in the ventilation space, the heated air is supplied to each ventilation space from the portion overlapping with the ventilation portion 52h. In addition, since the areas of the low-flow liquid region A and the high-flow liquid region B communicating with the respective ventilation spaces are approximately the same area, the amount of heated air supplied from the respective ventilation spaces to the interior of the housing space 51h of the main body case 51 becomes several nearly the same. That is, in the storage space 51h of the main body box 51, the heated air can be supplied in a nearly uniform state (substantially the same flow rate), and uneven drying of the object to be processed can be prevented.

In addition, at a position corresponding to the vent portion 52h of the liquid receiving tray 52, the separation wall 51w is a distance L from the upper end of the vent portion 52h of the liquid receiving tray 52 to the highest position of the bottom surface of the bottom portion 51b of the main body case 51. Shorter may be sufficient, and it does not necessarily have to be about half of the distance L. However, as described above, at the position corresponding to the ventilation portion 52h of the liquid receiving tray 52, if the heights of the vertical separation wall 51w1, the horizontal separation wall 51w2 and the oblique separation wall 51w3 of the separation wall 51w are approximately half the height of the distance L , the heated air passing through the ventilation portion 52h of the liquid receiving tray 52 can be easily supplied to each ventilation space in a nearly uniform state.

On the other hand, the amount of heated air that flows into the storage space 51h of the main body case 51 through the high flow liquid region B increases compared to the low flow liquid region A, so that the amount of air supplied from each ventilation space to the main body case 51 is increased. In a state where the amount of heated air in the storage space 51h is nearly equal, it is suitable to adjust the opening area connecting the storage space 51h of the main box 51 with each ventilation space in the high-flux region B. For example, in a state in which heated air is supplied from the heated air supply unit 20 through the ventilation portion 52h of the liquid receiving tray 52, the pressure in each ventilation space is adjusted so that the pressure in each ventilation space becomes the same, so that the ventilation portion 52h passes through each ventilation space to be adjusted. The amount of the heated air supplied from each ventilation space to the inside of the storage space 51h of the main body case 51 may be nearly equal. For example, with respect to the width of the storage space 51h of the main body case 51 (in the vertical direction in FIG. 12 ), if the ratio of the opening portion of the high-flux region B is about 10 to 40%, it is possible to supply the main body case from each ventilation space The amount of heated air inside the storage space 51h of 51 is nearly equal.

In addition, "the pressure in each ventilation space is the same pressure" mentioned here is not limited to the case where the pressure is completely the same, and also includes the case where there is a certain degree of pressure difference. In addition, "the state in which the quantity of heated air supplied from each ventilation space to the inside of the storage space 51h of the main body case 51 is close to uniform" also includes the case where the flow rate has a certain difference.

For example, the distribution of the objects to be processed in the storage space 51h of the main box 51 is uneven. Even if it is close to "the pressure in each ventilation space is the same pressure", it is difficult for the heated air to pass through the area with many objects to be processed, and it is easy to become a large number of objects to be processed. The heated air is passed through the area with less material to be treated. However, if the ratio of the opening portion of the high-pass liquid region B is adjusted, even if the distribution of the objects to be processed is uneven, the flow rate difference between the region with more objects to be processed and the region with less objects to be processed can be easily reduced. That is, even if there exists uneven distribution of a to-be-processed object, it is easy to perform drying efficiently. As in these states, the state in which the heated air flows from each ventilation space to each part in the storage space 51h of the main body case 51 is also included in the state of "supplying from each ventilation space to the inside of the storage space 51h of the main body case 51". The amount of air becomes nearly equal."

In addition, the separation wall 51w is arranged so that when viewed from the bottom of the built-in box 50, a part of the entire ventilation space overlaps with the ventilation portion 52h of the liquid receiving tray 52, and the low-pass liquid area A and the high-pass liquid area connected by each ventilation space The area of the region B does not necessarily have to be approximately the same area. That is, the areas of the low-pass liquid region A and the high-pass liquid region B may be different for each ventilation space. In this way, the flow of the heated air in the storage space 51h of the built-in box 50 can be adjusted.

When the discharge surface 10f (that is, the plurality of discharge ports 10k) that discharges the heated air from the storage space 10h of the cartridge storage portion 10 is not formed in a partially offset manner over the entire circumference of the storage space 10h of the cartridge storage portion 10, If the areas of the low-pass liquid region A and the high-pass liquid region B communicating with the respective ventilation spaces are made to be approximately the same surface If it is formed in a stacked manner, unevenness may occur in the flow of the heated air flowing inside the storage space 51h of the inner case 50 . As a result, the contact state between the heated air and the object to be treated is uneven, and there is a possibility that the object to be treated cannot be properly dried. Therefore, as in the above-mentioned case, the flow of the heated air flowing in the storage space 51h can be adjusted so that the contact state between the heated air and the object to be processed is an appropriate state. For example, the ventilation space in communication with the area in the storage space 51h where the heating air is easy to flow can also be used, so that the areas of the low-flow liquid area A and the high-flow liquid area B are smaller than those in the storage space 51h where the heated air is difficult to flow. The areas of the low-pass liquid area A and the high-pass liquid area B in the area-connected ventilation space are smaller. Specifically, if the areas of the low-pass liquid region A and the high-pass liquid region B are reduced in the ventilation space close to the discharge surface 10f, the areas of the low-pass liquid region A and the high-pass liquid region B are reduced in the ventilation space farther from the discharge surface 10f. If it increases, the contact state between the heated air and the object to be treated is easy to be in an appropriate state.

In addition, even if the supply port 10c is offset from the central portion of the cartridge housing portion 10, when the areas of the low-pass liquid region A and the high-pass liquid region B communicating with the respective ventilation spaces are formed to be approximately the same area, the There is a possibility that the flow of the heated air flowing inside the storage space 51h may be uneven, and the drying of the object to be processed may not be performed properly. Even in this case, the flow of the heated air flowing in the storage space 51h may be adjusted so that the contact state between the heated air and the object to be processed becomes an appropriate state. For example, the ventilation space in communication with the area in the storage space 51h where the heating air is easy to flow can also be used, so that the areas of the low-flow liquid area A and the high-flow liquid area B are smaller than those in the storage space 51h where the heated air is difficult to flow. The areas of the low-pass liquid area A and the high-pass liquid area B in the area-connected ventilation space are smaller. Specifically, if the areas of the low-pass liquid region A and the high-pass liquid region B are reduced in the ventilation space close to the supply port 10c, the areas of the low-pass liquid region A and the high-pass liquid region B are reduced in the ventilation space far from the supply port 10c. If it increases, the contact state between the heated air and the object to be treated is easy to be in an appropriate state.

The state of "the flow rate of heated air passing through each ventilation space is an appropriate flow rate" described in claim 9 of the scope of the invention not only includes "the amount of heated air supplied from each ventilation space to the interior of the storage space 51h of the main body case 51" The state of the same (close to equal)" also includes "contact between the heated air and the object to be processed" even if the heated air supplied from each ventilation space to the interior of the storage space 51h of the main body box 51 has unevenness as described above. status is appropriate".

In addition, not only the bottom 51b of the main body box 51 is provided with a separation wall, or a separation wall may be provided on the top surface of the liquid receiving tray 52 instead of the bottom 51b of the main body box 51 . For example, when the separation wall is provided only on the top surface of the liquid receiving tray 52, if the slit-shaped separation wall is also provided in the ventilation portion 52h, the low-pass liquid region A located above the ventilation portion 52h can also be divided.

Moreover, when the to-be-processed object fills up the storage space 51h of the main body case 51, a large amount of heated air becomes easy to flow along the inner wall surface of the main body case 51. Therefore, if the flow of the heated air flowing into the storage space 51h of the main body case 51 is disturbed, the heated air can be effectively brought into contact with the object to be processed inside the storage space 51h of the main body case 51 . That is, the contact efficiency between the object to be processed and the heated air in the storage space 51h of the main body box 51 can be increased.

For example, as described above, in the liquid receiving tray 52, the ventilation part 52h is provided in the opening of the central part of the liquid receiving tray 52; the central part of the bottom 51b of the main body case 51 forms the low-pass liquid area A; in the low-pass liquid area Around A, a high-pass liquid region B is formed (refer to FIG. 12(A) ). In this case, if the opening in the high-flux region B that communicates the inside of the main body case 51 with each ventilation space is shaped as follows, the flow of the heated air flowing into the main body case 51 is easily disturbed.

As shown in FIG. 12(A) , in the high-pass liquid region B, a plurality of arc-shaped through holes are formed. Specifically, the inner through-hole 51f is provided on the central portion side of the main body case 51, and the outer through-hole 51i is located further outside the main body case 51 than the inner through-hole 51f. The inner through hole 51f is formed in a convex arc shape on the central portion side (inner side) of the main body case 51, and the outer through hole 51i is formed in a convex arc shape in the wall side (outer side) of the main body case 51.

If the inner through-hole 51f and the outer through-hole 51i are formed in these shapes, compared with the case where the linear through-hole is provided, when passing through the inner through-hole 51f and the outer through-hole 51i, the inflow into the main body case 51 is more likely to be The flow of heated air is disturbed.

In addition, if only the flow of the heating air flowing into the storage space 51h of the main body case 51 is disturbed, only the inner through hole 51f or the outer through hole 51i may be provided, or the inner through hole 51f and the outer through hole 51i may have the same shape It is not necessary to form the inner through hole 51f and the outer through hole 51i in an arc shape. However, the heated air flowing into the main body case 51 has the property of easily flowing along the wall surface. Therefore, when the heated air flows into the main body case 51, it is preferable to form a flow as if from the wall surface side of the main body case 51 toward the inside. In order to form the flow of the heated air from the wall surface side of the main body case 51 toward the inside, it is preferable to provide both the inner through hole 51f and the outer through hole 51i in the shape as described above.

In addition, the volume of the object to be processed is reduced as the drying progresses, but the heated air flowing into the storage space 51h of the main body case 51 along with the volume reduction is more likely to flow along the wall surface. That is, the volume-reduced to-be-processed object becomes unevenly distributed in the center part in the storage space 51h, and it becomes easy for heated air to pass through the space between the to-be-processed object and the wall surface of the storage space 51h. In order to prevent such phenomena, it is preferable to increase the area of the inner through hole 51f more than the area of the outer through hole 51i. In this way, even if the volume of the object to be processed is reduced, the heated air can be easily supplied to the inside of the object to be processed through the inner through-hole 51f. In addition, by making the inner The area of the through hole 51f is larger than the area of the outer through hole 51i, and even in the initial stage of drying, it is easy to supply heated air to the inside of the object to be processed.

In addition, the inner through-hole 51f and the outer through-hole 51i may be formed so as to have a symmetrical shape, respectively. In this case, the difference in the flow state of the heating gas flowing into the storage space 51h of the main body case 51 from the adjacent ventilation space can be reduced, so that regardless of the state of the to-be-processed object in the main body case 51, it is easy to prevent the occurrence of inconvenience caused by drying. all.

In the above-described examples ( FIGS. 9 to 13 ), an example of the built-in box 50 used when heating air is supplied from the inner bottom surface (recess 10d ) of the storage space 10h is shown. On the other hand, when the supply port 10c for supplying heated air to the storage space 10h is provided on the inner side surface of the storage space 10h, etc., leg portions are provided on the outer surface (bottom surface) of the bottom portion 52b of the liquid receiving tray 52, and the leg portions are provided. A gap between the outer surface of the bottom portion 52b and the inner bottom surface of the storage space 10h is formed so that heated air can pass through. In this way, the heated air supplied from the supply port 10c can be supplied into the main body case 51 from the bottom portion 51b of the main body case 51 through the ventilation portion 52h of the liquid receiving tray 52 .

In addition, in the main body case 51, the installation places of the low-pass liquid region A and the high-pass liquid region B are not necessarily limited to the above-mentioned places. For example, the bottom portion 51b of the main body case 51 may be configured such that a part of the region in the high-pass liquid region B becomes the low-pass liquid region A. As shown in FIG.

Further, it is not necessary to set the low-pass liquid area A and the high-pass liquid area B on the bottom 51b of the main body box 51, and the entire bottom 51b can also be formed only with the low-pass liquid area A, in this case, the water can be more difficult to leak .

Furthermore, the built-in box 50 may not be provided with the liquid receiving tray 52 , but may be constituted only by the main body box 51 . In this case, the bottom 51b of the main box 51 does not have to be provided with the low-pass liquid area A and the high-pass liquid area B, and the entire bottom 51b can be used as the low-pass liquid area A to prevent moisture leakage.

<Regarding Control of Heated Air Supply Unit 20 >

As mentioned above, the weight reduction and volume reduction processing apparatus 1 of this embodiment is provided with the control part 40 which controls the operation|movement of the apparatus. The control unit 40 has a function of controlling the operation of the heating air supply unit 20 in accordance with, for example, ON (on)-OFF (off) of the power supply. In addition, when the timer input is provided, the control unit 40 has the functions of operating the heating air supply unit 20 for a predetermined time, and operating the heating air supply unit 20 from a predetermined time to start the drying process of the object to be processed.

In particular, the control unit 40 preferably has a function (ie, heating control unit) to stop the operation of the apparatus, ie, the heating air supply unit 20, when the dry state of the object to be processed becomes a predetermined state. The method by which the heating control unit determines the dry state of the object to be processed is not particularly limited. For example, a sensor in contact with the object to be processed can also be provided to directly determine the dry state of the object to be processed. In addition, the humidity and/or temperature of the air in the storage space 10h of the cassette storage portion 10, or the humidity and/or temperature of the heated air flowing in the supply flow path 22 may be measured, and the determination of the quality of the object to be processed may be determined from the measured value. dry state.

Furthermore, by the heating control unit, the operation of the heating unit 25 of the heating air supply unit 20 is controlled by ON-OFF, and the heating air is maintained at a predetermined temperature and the object to be processed is dried. Dry state without directly measuring the temperature of the object to be treated. For example, if a thermocouple or the like is first installed on the upstream side of the airflow forming part 21 (ie, in the covering box 2 ), the heating control part turns ON-OFF the operation of the heating part 25 according to the temperature of the air. For example, the heating control unit turns the heating unit 25 OFF when the air temperature exceeds a certain temperature, and turns the heating unit 25 ON when the air temperature is lower than a certain temperature. this one In this case, if the ON-OFF cycle of the heating unit 25 is grasped, the temperature of the object to be processed (ie, the dry state) can be roughly grasped without directly measuring the temperature of the object to be processed. That is, since it becomes unnecessary to provide a special sensor for measuring temperature, the structure of an apparatus can be simplified.

The reason why the drying state can be grasped only by the ON-OFF cycle of the heating unit 25 is as follows. First, when the to-be-processed object contains moisture, the heat of the air is captured in order to evaporate the moisture. That is, since the vaporization heat is supplied to the to-be-processed object, the temperature of the air returning from the storage space 10h is lowered, and the ON time becomes longer. That is, the ON-OFF cycle of the heating portion 25 becomes longer. On the other hand, as the drying of the object to be processed progresses, the heat of vaporization supplied to the object to be processed decreases, so that the temperature drop of the air returned from the storage space 10h is small. Therefore, the ON-OFF cycle of the heating portion 25 is shortened. On the other hand, when the drying of the object to be processed is incomplete, a difference occurs in the ON-OFF cycle. However, if the object to be treated is dried more than a certain level, it becomes unnecessary to supply the heat of vaporization, so the ON-OFF cycle becomes almost constant. Therefore, the ON-OFF cycle of the heating unit 25 is shortened, and when the ON-OFF cycle is performed at a substantially constant cycle, the operation of the device is stopped. In this way, the operation of the device can be stopped while the object to be processed is properly dried, and the device does not perform operations other than necessary, so that electricity bills and energy can be saved.

The heating control unit of the control unit 40 can be, for example, a bimetal thermostat or a humidity sensor. Naturally, it is not limited to these forms.

In addition, the heating control part may also have the function of controlling the operation of the heating part 25 and the operation of the air flow forming part 21 through the control part 40, so that the dry to-be-processed object and its state can be judged according to the ON-OFF cycle, so as to realize It is suitable for the heating state of the dried object and its state. For example, the heating control unit may be provided with a function to confirm the ON-OFF cycle for a certain period of time (heating initial stage) after the treatment of the object to be processed by the volume reduction and volume reduction treatment device 1, and determine the drying according to the ON-OFF cycle in the heating initial stage. The processed object and its state Wait. In this way, the to-be-processed object can be processed in a state suitable for the to-be-processed object after a certain period of time has passed since the process of the to-be-processed object was started. Therefore, the processing speed of the object to be processed can be increased, and the energy consumption required for the processing can be suppressed.

In addition, the method by which the heating control part judges the dry to-be-processed object, its state, etc. is not specifically limited. For example, by changing the type of the object to be processed and/or the state of the object to be processed (moisture content, etc.), a pre-test for measuring the ON-OFF cycle in the initial heating stage is performed, and the type of object to be processed and/or the state of the object to be processed are produced. The data on the relationship between (water content, etc.) and the ON-OFF cycle at the initial stage of heating (hereinafter referred to as the processing object discrimination map) are stored in the heating control unit first. In this way, the heating control unit can discriminate the type and the like of the object to be processed from the object discrimination map based on the measured ON-OFF cycle. In addition, if a plurality of drying programs suitable for the type of the object to be treated are stored in the heating control unit in advance, the heating control unit can select an appropriate drying program according to the type of the object to be treated, etc. Corresponding appropriate drying treatment.

In addition, when a plurality of heating units 25 are provided, if the operation of the plurality of heating units 25 is appropriately controlled by the heating control unit, the gas can be appropriately heated according to the type and amount of the object to be processed and the heating state. For example, in the initial stage of drying, the gas can be rapidly heated to a predetermined temperature by operating the plurality of heating units 25 . In this way, the time until the heating of the object to be processed starts is shortened, so that the processing time of the object to be processed can be shortened.

In addition, when the temperature of the gas rises to a certain level, a part of the plurality of heating parts 25 is operated. In this way, the temperature of the gas can be maintained at a predetermined temperature, and the power consumption of the heating unit 25 can be reduced. In addition, when the operations of the plurality of heating units 25 are combined, the temperature adjustment of the gas can be easily performed.

On the other hand, if a plurality of heating units 25 are operated alternately, etc., the operation time of each heating unit 25 can be shortened. In this way, the service life of each heating part 25 can be prolonged, and the service life of the device can also be increased.

In addition, when the heating part 25, such as a several heater, is provided, all the same heaters may be used as the heaters used, and the heaters of different power consumption and size may be used. For example, the heating unit 25 used may be changed according to the position where the heating unit 25 is provided in the supply channel 22 .

In the case where a plurality of heating units 25 are provided, for example, they can be arranged as follows. In addition, the method of arranging the plurality of heating units 25 is not limited to the following method.

First, a plurality of heating units 25 may be arranged side by side along the flow path direction of the supply flow path 22 . By arranging the plurality of heating units 25 in this manner, the gas can be rapidly heated to a predetermined temperature.

In addition, a plurality of heating parts 25 may be arranged side by side in a direction perpendicular to the flow path direction of the supply flow path 22 . The flow rate or flow velocity of the air passing through the heating section 25 may be different depending on the installation position of the heating section 25, but if a plurality of heating sections 25 are arranged as described above, heating suitable for the flow rate and flow velocity of the air can be performed. For example, if the heating unit 25 with high heating capacity is arranged at a position with a large flow rate or a position with a high flow velocity, and the heating section 25 with a low heating capacity is arranged at a position with a small flow rate or a position with a slow flow velocity, a plurality of heating units 25 can be used. The air is heated efficiently.

Naturally, if a plurality of heating parts 25 are arranged side by side along the flow path direction of the supply flow path 22, and also a plurality of heating parts 25 are arranged side by side along a direction perpendicular to the flow path direction of the supply flow path 22, the above two can be obtained. effect of.

<The case without the external case 4>

The above-mentioned weight reduction and volume reduction processing apparatus 1 has been described with the external case 4, but the weight reduction and volume reduction processing apparatus 1 may be configured without the external case 4 (refer to FIG. 7 ). In this case, if a space capable of accommodating the covering box 2 is provided before the tank or the like, and the covering box 2 is installed in the space, the weight reduction and volume reduction processing device 1 can be operated similarly to the case where the external box 4 is provided. . Naturally, the weight-reduction and volume-reduction processing apparatus 1 may be operated without the external case 4 .

<Tilt Sensor>

The above-mentioned weight reduction and volume reduction processing device 1 should preferably have an operation stop function, and it will automatically stop when it falls over during operation. That is, when the weight reduction and volume reduction processing apparatus 1 is tilted more than a certain level, it is determined that overturning has occurred, the operation of the airflow forming part 21 of the heating air supply part 20 is stopped, and the heating by the heating part 25 is stopped. In this way, even if the heating air supply part 20 is overturned, it can be prevented from continuing to operate.

The sensor for detecting overturning is not particularly limited. For example, a sensor for detecting that the bottom of the volume-reduction processing device 1 floats above a certain level, or an inclination sensor for detecting the inclination of the volume-reduction processing device 1 can be used.

Especially in the case of using an inclination sensor, it is suitable to install an inclination sensor on the cover 3 of the weight reduction and volume reduction processing apparatus 1 . If the inclination sensor is provided on the cover part 3, not only the weight reduction and volume reduction treatment device 1 is overturned, but also the cover part 3 is accidentally opened in the state where the heated air supply part 20 is activated (the state in which the object to be processed is about to be processed). At this time, the operation of the heating air supply unit 20 may be stopped. That is, when the inclination sensor detects that the lid portion 3 is opened to a predetermined angle, the operation of the heating air supply portion 20 can be stopped by the control portion 40 .

The position where the tilt sensor is provided on the cover portion 3 is not particularly limited. For example, the tilt sensor may be provided inside the control portion 40 in FIG. 1 . In addition, the angle at which the operation of the heating air supply unit 20 is stopped is not particularly limited. For example, when the inclination with respect to the horizontal detected by the inclination sensor is 10° or more, the operation of the heating air supply unit 20 may be stopped.
