[0054] スライドロック 13は、投入開口部 9の円周面に対して法線方向に移動可能に支 持され、先端側に投入開口部 9の内面力も突出する係止爪 16が形成される。また、 スライドロック 13は、係止爪 16が投入開口部 9の内面から突出する方向に、例えば ねじりコイルパネ 17により付勢されて 、る。  The slide lock 13 is supported so as to be movable in the normal direction with respect to the circumferential surface of the insertion opening 9, and a locking claw 16 is formed on the distal end side that also protrudes the inner surface force of the insertion opening 9. . The slide lock 13 is biased by, for example, a torsion coil panel 17 in a direction in which the locking claws 16 protrude from the inner surface of the opening 9.
[0055] スライドロック 13は、蓋体 11を蓋体着脱部 10に嵌め、所定の方向に回転させる と、係止爪 16が押されてねじりコイルパネ 17に抗して退避する。そして、図 4に示す 蓋体 11の係止穴 l ibが、係止爪 16と対向する位置となると、スライドロック 13はねじ りコイルパネ 17に押されてスライド移動し、係止爪 16が蓋体 11の係止穴 l ibに嵌る When the lid 11 is fitted into the lid attaching / detaching portion 10 and rotated in a predetermined direction, the locking claw 16 is pushed and retracts against the torsion coil panel 17. And shown in Figure 4 When the locking hole l ib of the lid 11 is located at a position facing the locking claw 16, the slide lock 13 is pushed by the torsion coil panel 17 and slides, and the locking claw 16 is locked by the locking hole of the lid 11. l fit ib
[0056] スライドロック 13は、係止爪 16が蓋体 11の係止穴 l ibに嵌ると、蓋体 11の回転 を規制して蓋体 11を閉じた状態でロックする形状を係止爪 16に備える。例えば、係 止爪 16の一の面は斜面で構成され、他の面は投入開口部 9の法線方向に沿った鉛 直面で構成される。 When the locking claw 16 is fitted into the locking hole l ib of the lid 11, the slide lock 13 has a locking claw that restricts rotation of the lid 11 and locks the lid 11 in a closed state. Prepare for 16. For example, one surface of the locking claw 16 is constituted by a slope, and the other surface is constituted by a vertical surface along a normal direction of the input opening 9.
[0057] リンク 14は、軸部 14aを支点に回転自在に取り付けられ、軸部 14aを挟んで一 方の端部力スライドロック 13の他端側に回転自在に連結される。これにより、リンク 14 の回転動作がスライドロック 13のスライド移動動作に変換される。また、リンク 14の他 方の端部には、カム当接面 14bが形成される。カム当接面 14bは上下方向に所定の 幅を有する。  The link 14 is rotatably mounted on the shaft 14a as a fulcrum, and is rotatably connected to the other end of the one end force slide lock 13 with the shaft 14a interposed therebetween. Thereby, the rotation operation of the link 14 is converted to the slide movement operation of the slide lock 13. A cam contact surface 14b is formed at the other end of the link 14. The cam contact surface 14b has a predetermined width in the vertical direction.
[0058] シャフト支持部 15は例えば円筒形状で、後述する駆動シャフトが挿入され、該 シャフトを回転自在に支持する。  [0058] The shaft support 15 has, for example, a cylindrical shape, into which a drive shaft described later is inserted, and rotatably supports the shaft.
[0059] 図 4に示すように、蓋体 11はマグネット 18を備える。また、上部ユニット 5は、蓋 体 11のマグネット 18を検出する上蓋検出センサ 19を備える。上蓋検出センサ 19は 磁気を検出して出力が変化するセンサで、蓋体 11を投入開口部 9に嵌めて所定の 方向に回転させ、蓋体 11の係止穴 1 lbがスライドロック 13の係止爪 16に嵌る位置と すると、マグネット 18を検出可能な位置に備えられる。 As shown in FIG. 4, the lid 11 includes a magnet 18. In addition, the upper unit 5 includes an upper lid detection sensor 19 that detects the magnet 18 of the lid 11. The upper lid detection sensor 19 is a sensor that detects magnetism and changes its output. The lid 11 is fitted into the opening 9 and rotated in a predetermined direction, and the locking hole 1 lb of the lid 11 engages the slide lock 13. Assuming that the position is such that the magnet 18 can be detected, the position where the magnet 18 can be detected is provided.
[0060] 下部ユニット 6は、上部ユニット 5の投入開口部 9と接続される投入筒部 21と、投 入筒部 21に対して開閉する底蓋 22と、底蓋 22および蓋体 11の開閉機構 23を備え る。 The lower unit 6 includes a charging cylinder 21 connected to the charging opening 9 of the upper unit 5, a bottom lid 22 that opens and closes with respect to the charging cylinder 21, and opening and closing of the bottom lid 22 and the lid 11. A mechanism 23 is provided.
[0061] 投入筒部 21は上下端が開口し、上端部に上部ユニット 5の投入開口部 9との接 続部 24を備える。接続部 24は投入筒部 21と投入開口部が挿入されて嵌る構成で、 防水のため図示しない Oリング等が嵌められる。ここで、接続部 24において、投入筒 部 21と投入開口部 9が嵌る部位の挿入部長はゆとりを持たせてある。また、最低限必 要な重ねしろが目視で判るように、目盛りを表示するとよい。  The charging cylinder 21 has upper and lower ends open, and a connection 24 with the charging opening 9 of the upper unit 5 at the upper end. The connecting portion 24 has a configuration in which the charging cylinder portion 21 and the charging opening portion are inserted and fitted, and an O-ring or the like (not shown) is fitted for waterproofing. Here, in the connection part 24, the insertion part length of the part where the charging cylinder part 21 and the charging opening part 9 are fitted has a sufficient length. Also, it is recommended to display a scale so that the minimum required margin can be visually recognized.
[0062] また、投入筒部 21の下端側の内周面に排水口 25を備える。排水口 25の入り口 には、フィルタ 26が取り付けられる。フィルタ 26は排水口 25の入り口を覆う例えば半 円筒形状で、生ゴミ類は捕獲し、水分は通す機能を備え、交換できるように着脱自在 となっている。 Further, a drain port 25 is provided on the inner peripheral surface on the lower end side of the charging cylinder 21. Drain outlet 25 entrance , A filter 26 is attached. The filter 26 has, for example, a semicylindrical shape that covers the entrance of the drain 25, has a function of capturing garbage and passing moisture, and is detachable so that it can be replaced.
[0063] 底蓋 22は投入筒部 21の下端に開閉可能に取り付けられる。底蓋 22は、投入 筒部 21の下端の開口に嵌る円板形状の蓋部 27と、蓋部 27の外周の一部力も突出 して形成される軸部 28と、蓋部 27において軸部 28と対向する位置に形成される押 圧部 29を備える。  [0063] The bottom lid 22 is attached to the lower end of the charging cylinder 21 so as to be openable and closable. The bottom lid 22 has a disc-shaped lid 27 that fits into the opening at the lower end of the charging cylinder 21, a shaft 28 formed by also projecting a part of the outer periphery of the lid 27, and a shaft at the lid 27. A pressing portion 29 is formed at a position facing 28.
[0064] 底蓋 22の軸部 28は、蓋部 27の外周より外側に形成され、軸部 28を支点に回 転することで、底蓋 22は蓋部 27で投入筒部 21の下端の開口を開閉する。  The shaft portion 28 of the bottom cover 22 is formed outside the outer periphery of the cover portion 27, and the bottom cover 22 is rotated by the shaft portion 28 as a fulcrum. Open and close the opening.
[0065] 図 5 (a)および図 5 (b)に底蓋 22の要部構成を示す。底蓋 22の蓋部 27は、円 板形状の第 1の蓋部 27aと、第 1の蓋部 27aより径の大きな第 2の蓋部 27bを一体とし た構成で、外周に段差が形成されて凸状となっている。また、外周部に円周方向に わたって溝 27cが形成され、溝 27cにシール材 30が嵌められている。  FIG. 5 (a) and FIG. 5 (b) show a configuration of a main part of the bottom cover 22. The lid portion 27 of the bottom lid 22 has a disc-shaped first lid portion 27a and a second lid portion 27b having a larger diameter than the first lid portion 27a, and a step is formed on the outer periphery. It has a convex shape. Further, a groove 27c is formed in the outer peripheral portion so as to extend in the circumferential direction, and the sealing material 30 is fitted in the groove 27c.
[0066] シール材 30は、外周にテーパ面 30aを備え、第 1の蓋部 27aの外周および第 2 の蓋部 27bの外周力も所定量突出して 、る。  [0066] The sealing material 30 has a tapered surface 30a on the outer periphery, and the outer peripheral force of the first lid 27a and the outer peripheral force of the second lid 27b also project by a predetermined amount.
[0067] 底蓋 22が開閉する投入筒部 21の下端の開口部には、蓋部 27が嵌る部位にテ ーパ面 31が形成される。投入筒部 21のテーパ面 31は、シール材 30のテーパ面 30 aと同等の傾斜を有する。  [0067] A tapered surface 31 is formed at an opening at the lower end of the charging cylinder 21 that the bottom cover 22 opens and closes, at a position where the cover 27 fits. The tapered surface 31 of the charging cylinder 21 has the same inclination as the tapered surface 30 a of the sealing material 30.
[0068] 底蓋 22は軸部 28を支点に回転して開閉する。このため、第 1の蓋部 27aは、投 入筒部 21の内径に対して底蓋 22が開閉し得るクリアランスが確保できる径である。そ して、図 5 (a)に示すように底蓋 22を閉じた時に、シール材 30が投入筒部 21のテー パ面 31aに密着できるように、シール材 30の第 1の蓋部 27aおよび第 2の蓋部 27bか らの突出量が設定される。  [0068] The bottom cover 22 opens and closes by rotating about the shaft 28. For this reason, the first lid 27a has a diameter capable of securing a clearance with which the bottom lid 22 can be opened and closed with respect to the inner diameter of the inlet cylinder 21. Then, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), when the bottom lid 22 is closed, the first lid 27a of the sealing material 30 can be in close contact with the tapered surface 31a of the charging cylinder 21. And the amount of protrusion from the second lid 27b is set.
[0069] さて、図 5 (a)に示すように、底蓋 22を閉じた状態では、シール材 30が露出する 部分は、第 1の蓋部 27aと投入筒部 21のクリアランス部分、および第 2の蓋部 27bと 投入筒部 21のクリアランス部分である。  As shown in FIG. 5 (a), when the bottom lid 22 is closed, the portion where the sealing material 30 is exposed is the clearance between the first lid 27a and the charging cylinder 21 and the second lid 27a. This is the clearance between the lid 27b of the second and the charging cylinder 21.
[0070] このため、水分等に直接触れる部分は少なぐ劣化が防止される。また、スプー ン、フォーク等の固形物が誤入した場合でも、蓋部と投入筒部 21のクリアランス以下 の小さなものでなければ、直接シール材 30を傷つけることはな 、。 [0070] For this reason, a part that directly contacts moisture or the like is prevented from being slightly deteriorated. In addition, even if solid objects such as spoons and forks enter by mistake, If it is not a small thing, it will not directly damage the sealing material 30.
[0071] また、シール材 30と投入筒部 21の接触面積は広く取れることから、密着性が向 上する。 [0071] Further, since the contact area between the sealing material 30 and the charging cylinder portion 21 can be widened, the adhesion is improved.
[0072] 更に、図 5 (b)に示すように軸部 28を支点に開閉する場合、シール材 30と投入 筒部 21のテーパ面 31は面の突き当てで開閉する。これにより、軽い力で底蓋 22の 開閉が可能である。  Further, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), when opening and closing with the shaft 28 as a fulcrum, the sealing material 30 and the tapered surface 31 of the charging cylinder 21 are opened and closed by abutting surfaces. Thus, the bottom cover 22 can be opened and closed with a light force.
[0073] なお、底蓋 22を閉じた時のシール材 30の露出部分に水分等に対応するコーテ イングを施しても良い。また、底蓋 22を閉じた時のシール材 30の露出部分に、シー ル材 30と異なる材質のリング等を嵌めてもょ 、。  [0073] The exposed portion of the sealing material 30 when the bottom cover 22 is closed may be coated with moisture or the like. Also, a ring or the like made of a different material from the seal material 30 may be fitted to the exposed portion of the seal material 30 when the bottom cover 22 is closed.
[0074] 更に、径の異なる Oリングを重ねて嵌めて、テーパ面が形成されるようにしても 良い。  Further, O-rings having different diameters may be overlapped and fitted to form a tapered surface.
[0075] 図 2に戻り、底蓋 22は、蓋部 27の上面に傾斜面 27dが形成される。傾斜面 27d は排水口 25に向けて下降する方向に傾斜している。ここで、底蓋 22を閉じた状態で は、傾斜面 27dの最下端が排水口 25の下端とほぼ同等、若しくは排水口 25の下端 より若干上となる高さとする。  Returning to FIG. 2, the bottom lid 22 has an inclined surface 27d formed on the upper surface of the lid 27. The inclined surface 27d is inclined in a direction to descend toward the drain outlet 25. Here, when the bottom lid 22 is closed, the height of the lowermost end of the inclined surface 27d is substantially equal to or slightly higher than the lower end of the drainage port 25.
[0076] 底蓋 22は、後述する回転翼の回転運動でこの回転翼に押されて閉じる動作を 行うため、下面に押上凸部 32を備える。  The bottom lid 22 is provided with a push-up convex portion 32 on the lower surface in order to perform an operation of being pushed and closed by the rotary wing by a rotary motion of the rotary wing described later.
[0077] 押上凸部 32は、底蓋 22で投入筒部 21を閉じた状態では、回転翼の先端の軌 跡に沿った形状で、かつ回転翼の軌跡より若干大きな曲面で構成される。  [0077] When the loading cylinder 21 is closed by the bottom lid 22, the push-up protrusion 32 has a shape along the trajectory of the tip of the rotor and has a curved surface slightly larger than the trajectory of the rotor.
[0078] 開閉機構 23は、上部ユニット 5のリンク 14と当接する第 1のロックカム 33と、底蓋 22の閉状態でのロックおよび開放補助を行う第 2のロックカム 34と、第 1のロックカム 33と第 2のロックカム 34を連結する駆動シャフト 35と、駆動シャフト 35を駆動する駆 動部 36を備える。  The opening / closing mechanism 23 includes a first lock cam 33 that contacts the link 14 of the upper unit 5, a second lock cam 34 that assists locking and opening when the bottom cover 22 is closed, and a first lock cam 33. A drive shaft that connects the first and second lock cams to each other; and a drive section that drives the drive shaft.
[0079] 第 1のロックカム 33は駆動シャフト 35に対して偏心したカム面を有する。第 1の ロックカム 33はリンク 14のカム当接面 14bに当接し、駆動シャフト 35が駆動されること で、蓋体 11のロックの解除を行う。  [0079] The first lock cam 33 has a cam surface eccentric to the drive shaft 35. The first lock cam 33 contacts the cam contact surface 14b of the link 14, and the drive shaft 35 is driven to release the lock of the lid 11.
[0080] 第 2のロックカム 34は、図 6 (a)〜図 6 (d)に示すように、駆動シャフト 35を挟ん で押上面 34aと押下面 34bを備える。 [0081] 第 2のロックカム 34の押上面 34aは上向きの斜面と斜面力も連続する平面で構 成され、第 2のロックカム 34が所定の一の方向に回転することで、底蓋 22の押圧部 2As shown in FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (d), the second lock cam 34 includes a pressing surface 34a and a pressing surface 34b with the drive shaft 35 interposed therebetween. The pressing surface 34a of the second lock cam 34 is composed of an upward slope and a plane that also has a continuous slope force. When the second lock cam 34 rotates in one predetermined direction, the pressing portion of the bottom lid 22 is pressed. Two

[0082] また、第 2のロックカム 34の押下面 34bは下向きの斜面で構成され、第 2のロッ クカム 34が他の方向に回転することで、押下面 34bは底蓋 22の押圧部 29に上側か ら当接し、底蓋 22を押し下げる。 The pressing surface 34b of the second lock cam 34 is formed by a downward slope, and when the second lock cam 34 rotates in the other direction, the pressing surface 34b is brought into contact with the pressing portion 29 of the bottom lid 22. Contact from above and push down bottom cover 22.
[0083] ここで、底蓋 22に対する第 2のロックカム 34による力の作用点を軸部 28と反対 側とすることで、底蓋 22を閉状態でロックするときに、確実にロック可能となる。 Here, by setting the point of action of the force by the second lock cam 34 on the bottom cover 22 on the side opposite to the shaft portion 28, when the bottom cover 22 is locked in a closed state, the lock can be reliably performed. .
[0084] 駆動シャフト 35は下部ユニット 6にブラケット 37により支持され、上端側に第 1の ロックカム 33が取り付けられ、下端側に第 2のロックカム 34が取り付けられる。 [0084] The drive shaft 35 is supported by the lower unit 6 by the bracket 37. The first lock cam 33 is attached to the upper end side, and the second lock cam 34 is attached to the lower end side.
[0085] また、ブラケット 37には、駆動部 36を構成するステッピングモータ 36aおよびギ ァ 36bが取り付けられ、駆動シャフト 35には、ステッピングモータ 36aからギア 36b等 を介して駆動力が伝達される。 [0085] The bracket 37 is provided with a stepping motor 36a and a gear 36b that form the driving unit 36, and the driving shaft 35 receives a driving force from the stepping motor 36a via a gear 36b and the like.
[0086] 更に、第 1のロックカム 33および第 2のロックカム 34の向きを検出するため、駆 動シャフト 35にはマグネット 38が取り付けられる。また、ブラケット 37に、マグネット 38 を検出するカム位置検出センサ 39が取り付けられる。 [0086] Further, a magnet 38 is attached to the drive shaft 35 in order to detect the orientation of the first lock cam 33 and the second lock cam 34. Further, a cam position detection sensor 39 for detecting a magnet 38 is attached to the bracket 37.
[0087] さて、駆動シャフト 35の上端は、上部ユニット 5のシャフト支持部 15に支持され、 第 1のロックカム 33の回転で、リンク 14を介してスライドロック 13を移動させる。 Now, the upper end of the drive shaft 35 is supported by the shaft support 15 of the upper unit 5, and the slide lock 13 is moved via the link 14 by the rotation of the first lock cam 33.
[0088] 駆動シャフト 35は第 1のロックカム 33と第 2のロックカム 34が取り付けられるので[0088] Since the first lock cam 33 and the second lock cam 34 are attached to the drive shaft 35,
、駆動部 36の駆動力を受けて第 1のロックカム 33と第 2のロックカム 34は連動して回 転する。これにより、底蓋 22のロックおよびロック解除と、蓋体 11のロック解除の一連 の動作が、 1つの駆動源によって行われる。 The first lock cam 33 and the second lock cam 34 rotate in response to the driving force of the drive unit 36. Thus, a series of operations of locking and unlocking the bottom lid 22 and unlocking the lid 11 are performed by one drive source.
[0089] <生ゴミ破砕乾燥装置の構成 > <Configuration of Garbage Crushing and Drying Device>
図 1に示す生ゴミ破砕乾燥装置 4は、カバー 41の内部に処理容器 42を備える。 処理容器 42は上部に上述した下部ユニット 6が取り付けられる。また、処理容器 42は 内部に攪拌 ·乾燥空間 43が形成されると共に、回転翼 (攪拌手段) 44が取り付けら れる。攪拌'乾燥空間 43は、少なくとも下半分は回転翼 44の軌跡に沿って円筒形状 を有する。 [0090] <回転翼の構成 > The garbage crushing and drying apparatus 4 shown in FIG. 1 includes a processing container 42 inside a cover 41. The lower unit 6 described above is attached to the upper part of the processing container 42. In addition, the processing vessel 42 has a stirring / drying space 43 formed therein and a rotating blade (stirring means) 44 attached thereto. The stirring / drying space 43 has a cylindrical shape at least in the lower half along the trajectory of the rotor 44. <Configuration of Rotor Wing>
図 7は回転翼 44の構成例を示す斜視図、図 8は回転翼 44の構成例を示す断 面図である。また、図 9は処理容器 42を回転翼 44の軸線方向に沿った面で切断した 断面図である。  FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a configuration example of the rotary blade 44, and FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing a configuration example of the rotary blade 44. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the processing container 42 cut along a plane along the axial direction of the rotor 44.
[0091] 回転翼 44は、中空の軸部 45と、この軸部 45と連続形成されると共に中空の翼 部 46を備える。軸部 45の内部と翼部 46の内部は連通している。  [0091] The rotary wing 44 includes a hollow shaft 45 and a hollow wing 46 that is formed continuously with the shaft 45. The inside of the shaft 45 and the inside of the wing 46 communicate with each other.
[0092] 軸部 45の一端部は、図 9に示すように処理容器 42の一方の軸受部 42aに回転 自在に挿入され、他端部は処理容器 42の他方の軸受部 42bに回転自在に挿入され て、回転翼 44は処理容器 42に対して回転自在となって 、る。  As shown in FIG. 9, one end of the shaft 45 is rotatably inserted into one of the bearings 42a of the processing container 42, and the other end is rotatably inserted into the other bearing 42b of the processing container 42. After being inserted, the rotary wing 44 is rotatable with respect to the processing container 42.
[0093] 翼部 46は軸部 45の軸線方向に対して交する方向に延在し、先端は複数本の 溝部 47が形成されて櫛状となって 、る。  [0093] The wing portion 46 extends in a direction intersecting with the axial direction of the shaft portion 45, and has a comb-like tip with a plurality of grooves 47 formed therein.
[0094] また、翼部 46は一の斜面 46aに複数のスリット(噴出口) 48が形成される。スリツ ト 48は、回転翼 44の軸方向に並列して、斜面 46aに沿って配置される。  [0094] In the wing portion 46, a plurality of slits (spouts) 48 are formed on one slope 46a. The slit 48 is arranged along the slope 46a in parallel with the axial direction of the rotor 44.
[0095] 各スリット 48は翼部 46に沿って延在して回転翼 44の内外を連通し、スリット 48 の間の翼部 46は、図 8に示すように、斜面 46aに対してオーバハングさせて、生ゴミ や乾燥ゴミ粉等の侵入防止部 46bが形成される。これにより、翼部 46に対する鉛直 方向から、スリット 48を通過して翼部 46の内部に直接にゴミ類が入り込みにくい構成 としている。なお、侵入防止部 46bを形成するため、斜面 46aを肉厚にすると共に、 斜面 46aの傾斜がきつくなるように、翼部 46の中心 46cは軸部 45の中心 45cに対し てオフセットした形状である。  [0095] Each slit 48 extends along the wing portion 46 and communicates with the inside and outside of the rotary wing 44. The wing portion 46 between the slits 48 is overhanged on the slope 46a as shown in FIG. As a result, an intrusion prevention portion 46b for garbage and dry refuse powder is formed. Thus, the configuration is such that dust is unlikely to directly enter the inside of the wing portion 46 through the slit 48 from the vertical direction with respect to the wing portion 46. In order to form the intrusion prevention part 46b, the slope 46a is made thicker, and the center 46c of the wing 46 is offset from the center 45c of the shaft 45 so that the slope 46a is steep. is there.
[0096] また、翼部 46には翼部 46に堆積したゴミ類を一の斜面 46aから他の面側へ落 すため、翼部 46には複数の貫通窓 49が形成される。  [0096] Further, a plurality of through-holes 49 are formed in the wing portion 46 in order to drop debris accumulated on the wing portion 46 from one slope 46a to the other surface side.
[0097] 更に、翼部 46の先端にはそれぞれワイパ 50が取り付けられる。ワイパ 50は弹 性部材による弾性片で構成される。ここで、回転翼 44の翼部 46は、その先端が処理 容器 42の攪拌'乾燥空間 43の円周面に対して所定の隙間が開くように形成される。 ワイパ 50は、図 10に示すように、翼部 46の先端力も突出して、処理容器 42の内周 面に当接する。  [0097] Further, wipers 50 are attached to the tips of the wing portions 46, respectively. The wiper 50 is composed of an elastic piece made of a flexible member. Here, the wing portion 46 of the rotary wing 44 is formed such that a tip thereof has a predetermined gap with respect to the circumferential surface of the stirring / drying space 43 of the processing container 42. As shown in FIG. 10, the wiper 50 also comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the processing container 42 with the tip force of the wing portion 46 also protruding.
[0098] なお、回転翼 44は第 1の部材と第 2の部材を組み合わせて構成され、ワイパ 50 は翼部 46における分割面に挟み込まれ、図示しな ヽネジおよびボスによって位置決 めされて固定される。 [0098] The rotary blade 44 is configured by combining the first member and the second member, and the wiper 50 Is sandwiched between the divided surfaces of the wing portion 46, and is positioned and fixed by screws and bosses (not shown).
[0099] <処理容器の構成 >  [0099] <Configuration of Processing Container>
処理容器 42は、図 1に示すように、回転翼 44の位置を検出する原点位置検出 センサ 51aと、底蓋押上位置検出センサ 51bを備える。図 1では、回転翼 44が原点 位置にある状態を示す。本例では、回転翼 44の原点位置は、翼部 46が鉛直下向き となる状態である。後述するが、下部ユニット 6の底蓋 22が開いた状態で、回転翼 44 を底蓋押上位置検出センサ 51bで検出される位置まで回転させると、回転翼 44で底 蓋 22を押し上げて、底蓋 22を閉じる動作を行う。  As shown in FIG. 1, the processing container 42 includes an origin position detection sensor 51a that detects the position of the rotary blade 44, and a bottom cover push-up position detection sensor 51b. FIG. 1 shows a state where the rotor 44 is at the origin position. In this example, the origin position of the rotary wing 44 is such that the wing portion 46 is vertically downward. As will be described later, when the rotor 44 is rotated to a position detected by the bottom cover push-up position detection sensor 51b with the bottom cover 22 of the lower unit 6 opened, the bottom cover 22 is pushed up by the rotor 44 to The operation of closing the lid 22 is performed.
[0100] 処理容器 42は PTCヒータ 52 (加温手段)を備える。 PTCヒータ 52は、正極性の サーミスター特性を有するヒータで、温度が上昇すると抵抗値が上昇し、これにより消 費する電流が制御される共に温度上昇が緩やかになり、その後、消費電流および発 熱部の温度が、飽和領域に達して安定していくものであり、自己温度制御を行う。  [0100] The processing container 42 includes a PTC heater 52 (heating means). The PTC heater 52 is a heater having a thermistor characteristic of a positive polarity. When the temperature rises, the resistance value rises, thereby controlling the current consumption and gently increasing the temperature. The temperature of the heating part reaches the saturation region and stabilizes, and self-temperature control is performed.
[0101] このように、 PTCヒータ 52では、ヒータの温度が上昇すると消費電流が低くなり、 その後一定温度の飽和領域に達すると、消費電流が低い値で安定する特性がある ために、これを用いることにより、消費電力の節約ができるとともに、発熱体の温度の 異常上昇を防止可能であるという利点がある。  [0101] As described above, in the PTC heater 52, the current consumption decreases when the temperature of the heater rises, and then when the temperature reaches a saturation region of a certain temperature, the current consumption is stabilized at a low value. The use of this method has the advantages of saving power consumption and preventing an abnormal rise in the temperature of the heating element.
[0102] この PTCヒータ 52が、処理容器 42の底部付近の外周に貼り付けられ、断熱材 で被覆されて、処理容器 42内が加温される。  [0102] The PTC heater 52 is attached to the outer periphery near the bottom of the processing container 42, covered with a heat insulating material, and the inside of the processing container 42 is heated.
[0103] 図 11および図 12は処理容器 42の構成例を示す斜視図である。処理容器 42は 正面となる位置に排出口 53を備える。排出口 53は例えば長方形の開口である。処 理容器 42は排出口 53の左右両側にガイドリブ 54を備える。ガイドリブ 54はガイド溝 55を備える。  FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 are perspective views showing a configuration example of the processing container 42. The processing container 42 is provided with a discharge port 53 at a position facing the front. The outlet 53 is, for example, a rectangular opening. The processing container 42 has guide ribs 54 on both left and right sides of the discharge port 53. The guide rib 54 has a guide groove 55.
[0104] 図 13 (a)および図 13 (b)はガイドリブの構成例を示す説明図で、ガイド溝 55は 、閉塞ガイド部 55aと、昇降ガイド部 55bと、開放ガイド部 55cを備える。また、昇降ガ イド部 55bには、着脱ガイド部 55dが形成される。  FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b) are explanatory diagrams showing examples of the configuration of the guide rib. The guide groove 55 includes a closing guide portion 55a, an elevating guide portion 55b, and an opening guide portion 55c. A detachable guide 55d is formed in the elevating guide 55b.
[0105] 着脱ガイド部 55dは、昇降ガイド部 55bからガイドリブ 54の端部まで連通する凹 状となっている。更に、着脱ガイド部 55dには、ロックレバー 56を備える。ロックレバー 56は、ガイドリブ 54にスライド移動自在に取り付けられ、着脱ガイド部 55dを開閉する The detachable guide portion 55d has a concave shape communicating from the elevating guide portion 55b to the end of the guide rib 54. Further, a lock lever 56 is provided on the detachable guide portion 55d. Lock lever 56 is slidably attached to the guide rib 54 to open and close the detachable guide 55d.
[0106] 図 11および図 12に戻り、ガイドリブ 54は外側に向けて凹状の係止穴 57が形成 される。また、排出口 53にはカバーユニット 58が取り付けられる。カバーユニット 58 は、左右両側に図 13 (a)および図 13 (b)に示すガイドボス 59を備える。カバーュ-ッ ト 58は、各ガイドボス 59が左右のガイドリブ 54のそれぞれのガイド溝 55に嵌り、処理 容器 42に取り付けられる。ここで、カバーユニット 58の下端が処理容器に当接する 構成として、ガイドボス 59を支点とした回転動作を規制して、カバーユニット 58はガイ ド溝 55に沿ってスライド移動する。 Returning to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the guide rib 54 is formed with a concave locking hole 57 facing outward. A cover unit 58 is attached to the outlet 53. The cover unit 58 has guide bosses 59 shown in FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b) on both left and right sides. In the cover cut 58, each guide boss 59 is fitted into each guide groove 55 of the left and right guide ribs 54, and is attached to the processing container 42. Here, as the configuration in which the lower end of the cover unit 58 abuts on the processing container, the rotation of the cover unit 58 with the guide boss 59 as a fulcrum is restricted, and the cover unit 58 slides along the guide groove 55.
[0107] カバーユニット 58は操作レバー 60を備える。図 14 (a)および図 14 (b)は操作レ バーの構成例を示す要部説明図である。操作レバー 60はプレート 60aを備え、図 11 および図 12に示すカバーユニット 58の下部左右両側にスライド移動自在に取り付け られる。操作レバー 60を操作することで、プレート 60aがスライド移動し、カバーュ- ット 58の側部力も突出あるいは退避する。  [0107] The cover unit 58 includes an operation lever 60. FIGS. 14 (a) and 14 (b) are main part explanatory diagrams showing a configuration example of the operation lever. The operation lever 60 includes a plate 60a, and is slidably attached to the lower left and right sides of the cover unit 58 shown in FIGS. By operating the operation lever 60, the plate 60a slides and the side force of the cover hood 58 also projects or retracts.
[0108] 操作レバー 60はマグネット 60bを備える。また、処理容器 42は排出口開閉検出 センサ 61を備える。排出口開閉検出センサ 61はマグネットセンサで、操作レバー 60 が操作されてプレート 60aがガイドリブ 54の係止穴 57に入る位置にあると、マグネット 60bを検出する。これにより、操作レバー 60のプレート 60aがガイドリブ 54の係止穴 5 7に入り、カバーユニット 58が排出口 53を閉じてロック状態にあることを検出できる。  [0108] The operation lever 60 includes a magnet 60b. Further, the processing container 42 includes an outlet opening / closing detection sensor 61. The discharge port opening / closing detection sensor 61 is a magnet sensor, and detects the magnet 60b when the operation lever 60 is operated and the plate 60a is at a position to enter the locking hole 57 of the guide rib 54. Thus, it is possible to detect that the plate 60a of the operation lever 60 enters the locking hole 57 of the guide rib 54, and that the cover unit 58 closes the discharge port 53 and is locked.
[0109] 図 1に戻り、カバーユニット 58は裏面側に複数組のカッター (破砕手段) 62を備 える。各カッター 62は、排出口 53を閉じた位置にあるカバーユニット 58の裏面カも処 理容器 42内に突出し、周方向に対する位置と軸線方向に対する位置が互いにずれ て配置される。  Returning to FIG. 1, the cover unit 58 includes a plurality of sets of cutters (crushing means) 62 on the back side. In each cutter 62, the back surface of the cover unit 58 at the position where the discharge port 53 is closed also projects into the processing container 42, and the position in the circumferential direction and the position in the axial direction are shifted from each other.
[0110] 各カッター 62は扇状に形成され、その一側縁部に刃部 62aが形成される。また 刃部 62aの一端側には図示しない軸部を備え、図示しないばね部材により、刃部 62 aが突出する方向に付勢されている。これにより、カッター 62に過大な力が加わった 時に、軸部を支点に回転して処理容器 42の内面力もカバーユニット 58内へ退避で きるようになつている。 [0111] <ゴミ袋取り付け機構の構成 > [0110] Each cutter 62 is formed in a fan shape, and a blade portion 62a is formed on one side edge thereof. A shaft (not shown) is provided at one end of the blade 62a, and the blade 62a is urged by a spring member (not shown) in a protruding direction. Accordingly, when an excessive force is applied to the cutter 62, the cutter 62 rotates about the shaft portion and the inner surface force of the processing container 42 can be retracted into the cover unit 58. [0111] <Configuration of Garbage Bag Mounting Mechanism>
処理容器 42は、図 11,図 12示すように、排出口 53に袋取付アーム 63を備える 。袋取付アーム 63はガイドリブ 54の両側に 1本ずつ取り付けられ、下端側が軸部 63 aにより回転自在に処理容器 42に支持されて、左右の袋取付アーム 63が連動して開 閉する。  As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the processing container 42 has a bag mounting arm 63 at the discharge port 53. One bag mounting arm 63 is mounted on each side of the guide rib 54, and the lower end is rotatably supported by the processing container 42 by a shaft portion 63a, and the left and right bag mounting arms 63 open and close in conjunction with each other.
[0112] 袋取付アーム 63は、処理容器 42の排出口 53が形成される部位の外形に沿つ て湾曲した 2枚のヘラを備える。このヘラの長さは、排出口 53の高さ方向の長さより、 若干長い長さを有する。  [0112] The bag mounting arm 63 includes two spatulaes curved along the outer shape of the portion where the discharge port 53 of the processing container 42 is formed. The length of the spatula is slightly longer than the length of the outlet 53 in the height direction.
[0113] また、処理容器 42は、排出口 53の下側に排出板 64を備える。排出板 64はガイ ドリブ 54の間に取り付けられ、排出口 53の下端付近力も斜め前方下向きに延在して 、排出口 53の下側の一部を覆う形状である。  The processing container 42 includes a discharge plate 64 below the discharge port 53. The discharge plate 64 is attached between the guide ribs 54, and the force near the lower end of the discharge port 53 also extends obliquely forward and downward to cover a part of the lower side of the discharge port 53.
[0114] <回転翼の駆動機構 >  [0114] <Drive mechanism of rotating wing>
図 15は回転翼の駆動機構および送風機構の構成を示す説明図である。回転 翼 44 (図 15では図示せず)は処理容器 42から突出する一方の軸部 45に平ギア 65 が取り付けられる。処理容器 42には平ギア 65をかみ合うカウンタギア 66が取り付けら れ、カウンタギア 66に、モータ 67に取り付けられた小ギア 68がかみ合う。  FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration of a driving mechanism and a blowing mechanism of the rotary wing. A rotating gear 44 (not shown in FIG. 15) has a spur gear 65 attached to one shaft 45 projecting from the processing container 42. A counter gear 66 meshing with a spur gear 65 is attached to the processing container 42, and a small gear 68 attached to a motor 67 meshes with the counter gear 66.
[0115] モータ 67を回転させると、小ギア 68、カウンタギア 66および平ギア 65を介して 回転翼 44に駆動力が伝達され、回転翼 44は軸部 45を中心軸として回転する。  When the motor 67 is rotated, a driving force is transmitted to the rotary blade 44 via the small gear 68, the counter gear 66, and the spur gear 65, and the rotary blade 44 rotates about the shaft 45 as a central axis.
[0116] <回転翼への送風機構 >  [0116] <Blow mechanism to the rotor>
カバー 41にはファン(乾燥手段) 69が取り付けられる。ファン 69は!、わゆるシロ ッコファンで、排気口 69aがダクト 70で回転翼 44 (図 15では図示せず)の軸部 45の 一端と繋がっている。ここで、ダクト 70と軸部 45の接続は、気密性を保ちつつ、かつ 、ダクト 70に対して軸部 45が回転自在となる構成を備える。  A fan (drying means) 69 is attached to the cover 41. The fan 69 is a so-called sirocco fan, and the exhaust port 69a is connected to one end of the shaft 45 of the rotor 44 (not shown in FIG. 15) through a duct 70. Here, the connection between the duct 70 and the shaft 45 has a configuration in which the shaft 45 is rotatable with respect to the duct 70 while maintaining airtightness.
[0117] <吸気機構 >  [0117] <Air intake mechanism>
図 16 (a)および図 16 (b)はカバーの吸気機構を示す斜視図である。カバー 41 には図 16 (a)に示すように吸気口 71を備える。カバー 41は気密性を有し、吸気口 7 1から外気を吸気する。吸気口 71に図 16 (b)に示すように逆止弁 72を備える。逆止 弁 72は、例えば、図 15に示すファン 69を駆動することによる吸気でカバー 41内の圧 力が負圧となると開口して吸気口 71より外気を吸気できる状態となる。また、ファン 69 の駆動を停止することで、カバー 41内部と外部との圧力差がゼロあるいは正圧となる と、ばねまたは自重により閉じる構成を有する。 FIG. 16A and FIG. 16B are perspective views showing a suction mechanism of the cover. The cover 41 has an intake port 71 as shown in FIG. The cover 41 has airtightness, and takes in outside air from the intake port 71. The intake port 71 is provided with a check valve 72 as shown in FIG. The check valve 72, for example, operates the fan 69 shown in FIG. When the force becomes a negative pressure, the air is opened and the outside air can be taken in from the intake port 71. Further, when the driving of the fan 69 is stopped and the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the cover 41 becomes zero or positive pressure, the cover 41 is closed by a spring or its own weight.
[0118] これにより、ファン 69を駆動することによる吸気で吸気口 71では逆止弁 72が開 き、外気を吸気する。これにより、ファン 69は回転翼 44の内部に送風を行う。  [0118] Thereby, the check valve 72 is opened at the intake port 71 by the intake air by driving the fan 69, and the outside air is sucked. As a result, the fan 69 blows air into the rotor 44.
[0119] また、ファン 69の駆動を停止すると、逆止弁 72は閉じ、カバー 41内部の空気が 吸気口 71からカバー外へ漏れることを防ぐ。  When the drive of the fan 69 is stopped, the check valve 72 closes to prevent the air inside the cover 41 from leaking from the air inlet 71 to the outside of the cover.
[0120] <排気機構 >  [0120] <Exhaust mechanism>
図 17は処理容器 42の排気機構の構成を示す説明図である。図 11に示すよう に、処理容器 42は上部に排気口 74が形成され、排気口 74に図 17に示すフィルタ ユニット 75が取り付けられる。また、処理容器 42の上部には、フィルタユニット 75と並 ベて逆止弁ユニット 76が取り付けられる。  FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the exhaust mechanism of the processing container. As shown in FIG. 11, an exhaust port 74 is formed in the upper part of the processing container 42, and a filter unit 75 shown in FIG. In addition, a check valve unit 76 is attached to the upper portion of the processing container 42 along with the filter unit 75.
[0121] 図 18 (a)および図 18 (b)はフィルタユニットの構成を示す説明図である。フィル タユニット 75は、カノく一 77と、フィルタ 78と、ブラシ 79を備える。カバー 77は、処理 容器 42の排気口 74に取り付けられる第 1の接合部 80と、第 1の接合部 80に形成さ れる爪部 81と、爪部 81と対向する部位に形成されるネジ止め部 82を備える。また、 逆止弁ユニット 76の吸気口 83に取り付けられる第 2の接合部 84を備える。  FIG. 18A and FIG. 18B are explanatory diagrams showing the configuration of the filter unit. The filter unit 75 includes a canopy 77, a filter 78, and a brush 79. The cover 77 includes a first joint 80 attached to the exhaust port 74 of the processing container 42, a claw 81 formed on the first joint 80, and a screw formed on a portion facing the claw 81. Part 82 is provided. In addition, a second joint portion 84 attached to the intake port 83 of the check valve unit 76 is provided.
[0122] ここで、第 2の接合部 84は、上端側が下端側に対して突出する方向に、第 1の 接合部 80に対して鉛直面から傾斜させて!/、る。  Here, the second joint 84 is inclined from the vertical plane with respect to the first joint 80 so that the upper end protrudes from the lower end.
[0123] フィルタ 78は、第 1の接合部 80と第 2の接合部 84の間に備えられる。また、ブラ シ 79は、フィルタ 78の面に沿って移動自在となるようにカバー 77に取り付けられる。 ブラシ 79には操作棒 79aが取り付けられ、カバー 77の外部より操作棒 79aを操作す ることで、ブラシ 79をフィルタ 78の面に沿って移動させて、フィルタ 78を清掃すること ができる。ここで、フィルタ 78の汚れ具合をカバー 77の外部より目視できるようにする ため、例えばカバー 77を透明な榭脂で形成すると良い。  The filter 78 is provided between the first joint 80 and the second joint 84. The brush 79 is attached to the cover 77 so as to be movable along the surface of the filter 78. An operating rod 79a is attached to the brush 79, and by operating the operating rod 79a from outside the cover 77, the brush 79 can be moved along the surface of the filter 78 to clean the filter 78. Here, in order to make the degree of contamination of the filter 78 visible from the outside of the cover 77, for example, the cover 77 may be formed of a transparent resin.
[0124] フィルタユニット 75は、カバー 77の爪部 81を図 11に示す処理容器 42の係止 穴 85に嵌め、ネジ止め部 82を図示しないネジで処理容器 42に固定すると、第 1の 接合部 80が排気口 74と密着する。また、第 2の接合部 84は下向きの斜面で形成さ れるので、第 1の接合部 80を排気口 74に押し付ける力で、逆止弁ユニット 76の吸気 口 83に密着する。 [0124] In the filter unit 75, the claw portion 81 of the cover 77 is fitted into the locking hole 85 of the processing container 42 shown in Fig. 11, and the screw portion 82 is fixed to the processing container 42 with a screw (not shown). The part 80 is in close contact with the exhaust port 74. Also, the second joint 84 is formed by a downward slope. As a result, the first joint portion 80 comes into close contact with the intake port 83 of the check valve unit 76 by a force pressing the first joint section 80 against the exhaust port 74.
[0125] これにより、フィルタユニット 75において吸気側となる部位と排気側となる部位の それぞれを密着させた状態で処理容器 42および逆止弁ユニット 76に取り付けること ができ、排気が外部へ漏れることを防ぐ。  As a result, the filter unit 75 can be attached to the processing container 42 and the check valve unit 76 in a state where the intake side and the exhaust side are in close contact with each other. prevent.
[0126] また、ネジを締めることで、気密性が保たれる状態とできるので、交換が容易で あり、ブラシ 79による清掃でも所期の機能を果たせなくなったフィルタ 78は、フィルタ ユニット 75ごと容易に交換することができ、装置全体としても性能を維持することがで きる。  [0126] In addition, since the airtightness can be maintained by tightening the screws, replacement is easy, and the filter 78, which can no longer perform its intended function even with cleaning with the brush 79, can be easily mounted together with the filter unit 75. The performance can be maintained as a whole.
[0127] 逆止弁ユニット 76は、図示しない電磁弁等を備え、排気の流路を開放および閉 塞できる構成である。処理容器 42の排気口 74は、図 15および図 17に示すように、フ ィルタユニット 75および逆止弁ユニット 76を介して、ダクト 86により排水トラップ 87より 下流の排水管に接続される。そして、排水管が詰まる等により排水が逆流してきた場 合は、水の流入をセンサで検出し、逆止弁を閉じることで、排水のフィルタユニット 75 さらには処理容器 42内への逆流を防ぐ。  [0127] The check valve unit 76 includes an electromagnetic valve (not shown) and the like, and has a configuration capable of opening and closing the exhaust flow path. The exhaust port 74 of the processing container 42 is connected to a drain pipe downstream of a drain trap 87 by a duct 86 via a filter unit 75 and a check valve unit 76 as shown in FIGS. If the drainage flows backward due to clogging of the drainpipe, the sensor detects the inflow of water and closes the check valve to prevent the wastewater from flowing back into the filter unit 75 and further into the processing vessel 42. .
[0128] なお、図 11に示すように、処理容器 42の下部に水抜き用のドレインコック 42eを 備えることで、処理能力以上の水が処理容器 42に入り込んだ場合に、これを外部に 排出できるようにしてある。また、処理容器 42の一部を透明にすることで、例えば水 が溜まったことなどを目視により確認できる。  As shown in FIG. 11, by providing a drain cock 42e for draining water at the lower part of the processing container 42, when water having a processing capacity or more enters the processing container 42, it is discharged to the outside. I can do it. Further, by making a part of the processing container 42 transparent, for example, the accumulation of water can be visually confirmed.
[0129] <処理容器の分割機構 >  <Processing Container Splitting Mechanism>
処理容器 42は、図 19に示すように第 1のケース 42cと第 2のケース 42dを組み 合わせて構成される。第 1のケース 42cと第 2のケース 42dは例えばネジ止めにより分 解可能に一体とされ、第 1のケース 42cと第 2ケース 42dの分割面は、回転翼 44の軸 受部 42a, 42bとする。  The processing container 42 is configured by combining a first case 42c and a second case 42d as shown in FIG. The first case 42c and the second case 42d are detachably integrated with each other by, for example, screwing, and the division surface of the first case 42c and the second case 42d is formed by the bearings 42a and 42b of the rotor 44. I do.
[0130] これにより、図 19に示すように第 1のケース 42cを取り外すと、回転翼 44を取り 外して交換できる構成となっている。ここで、下部ユニット 6は装置背面側の第 2のケ ース 42dに備えられ、第 1のケース 42aを取り外しても、装置本体側に残る構成である 。すなわち、図 1に示すように、下部ユニット 6はシンク 2に取り付けられる上部ユニット 5と接続しているので、処理容器 42の分解時に、装置本体側に残るようにすることで 、処理容器 42の分解を容易にしている。 As a result, as shown in FIG. 19, when the first case 42c is removed, the rotor 44 can be removed and replaced. Here, the lower unit 6 is provided in the second case 42d on the rear side of the apparatus, and remains on the apparatus main body side even when the first case 42a is removed. That is, as shown in Fig. 1, the lower unit 6 is the upper unit attached to the sink 2. Since it is connected to 5, when the processing container 42 is disassembled, it remains on the apparatus main body side, thereby facilitating disassembly of the processing container 42.
[0131] <生ゴミ処理装置の制御構成 >  <Control Configuration of Garbage Disposal Apparatus>
図 20は生ゴミ処理装置の制御ブロック図である。制御装置 91は、システムコント ローラ (制御手段) 92を備える。システムコントローラ 92には、上述した上蓋検出セン サ 19、カム位置検出センサ 39、原点位置検出センサ 51a、底蓋押上位置検出セン サ 51bおよび排出口開閉検出センサ 61等が接続される。  FIG. 20 is a control block diagram of the garbage processing apparatus. The control device 91 includes a system controller (control means) 92. The system controller 92 is connected to the above-described upper lid detection sensor 19, cam position detection sensor 39, origin position detection sensor 51a, bottom lid push-up position detection sensor 51b, discharge opening / closing detection sensor 61, and the like.
[0132] システムコントローラ 92は、上蓋検出センサ 19の出力から、蓋体 11が投入開口 部 9を塞いでロック状態となっているかどうかを検出する。また、カム位置検出センサ 3 9の出力から、蓋体 11のロック解除を行う第 1のロックカム 33と、底蓋 22のロックおよ びロック解除を行う第 2のロックカム 34の位置を検出する。更に、原点位置検出セン サ 51aおよび底蓋押上位置検出センサ 51bの出力から回転翼 44の位置を検出し、 排出口開閉検出センサ 61の出力からカバーユニット 58の開閉を検出する。  [0132] The system controller 92 detects from the output of the upper lid detection sensor 19 whether or not the lid 11 has closed the closing opening 9 and is in a locked state. Further, from the output of the cam position detection sensor 39, the positions of a first lock cam 33 for unlocking the lid 11 and a second lock cam 34 for locking and unlocking the bottom lid 22 are detected. Further, the position of the rotary wing 44 is detected from the output of the origin position detection sensor 51a and the bottom cover push-up position detection sensor 51b, and the opening / closing of the cover unit 58 is detected from the output of the discharge opening / closing detection sensor 61.
[0133] また、システムコントローラ 92にはステッピングモータ 36a、モータ 67、 PTCヒー タ 52およびファン 69を駆動するファンモータが接続される。システムコントローラは、 各センサの出力から、所定のプログラムによって、ステッピングモータ 36a、モータ 67 およびファン 69を駆動するファンモータの回転および回転停止を行う。また、 PTCヒ ータ 52のオンおよびオフを行う。更に、システムコントローラ 92には逆止弁ユニット 76 の逆止弁を駆動するステッピングモータ等を接続しても良 、。  The system controller 92 is connected to a stepping motor 36a, a motor 67, a PTC heater 52, and a fan motor for driving the fan 69. The system controller rotates and stops the rotation of the fan motor for driving the stepping motor 36a, the motor 67, and the fan 69 according to a predetermined program from the output of each sensor. Also, the PTC heater 52 is turned on and off. Further, a stepping motor or the like for driving the check valve of the check valve unit 76 may be connected to the system controller 92.
[0134] <生ゴミの投入動作 >  <Food garbage loading operation>
まず、蓋体 11が開いた状態では、図 1に示すように、底蓋 22は投入筒部 21の 下端を閉じている。また、図 2に示すように、第 2のロックカム 34の押上部 34aで底蓋 22の押圧部 29を押し上げて 、る。  First, when the lid 11 is open, the bottom lid 22 closes the lower end of the charging cylinder 21 as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the pressing portion 29 of the bottom cover 22 is pushed up by the push-up portion 34a of the second lock cam 34.
[0135] これにより、図 5に示すように、底蓋 22に取り付けられたシール材 30は、テーパ 面 30aが投入筒部 21のテーパ面 31に押圧された状態である。  As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the sealing material 30 attached to the bottom lid 22 is in a state where the tapered surface 30a is pressed against the tapered surface 31 of the charging cylinder 21.
[0136] 投入筒部 21に連通した投入開口部 9から生ゴミを投入すると、投入された生ゴミ は底蓋 22上に集積される。上述したように、底蓋 22はシール材 30が投入筒部 21の テーパ面 31に押圧されているので、生ゴミに含まれる水分の底蓋 22からの漏れが抑 えられる。 When garbage is thrown in from the throw-in opening 9 communicating with the throw-in cylinder 21, the thrown garbage is accumulated on the bottom lid 22. As described above, since the sealing material 30 of the bottom lid 22 is pressed against the tapered surface 31 of the charging cylinder 21, leakage of moisture contained in garbage from the bottom lid 22 is suppressed. available.
[0137] そして、底蓋 22の上面に傾斜面 27dが形成されるので、水分は傾斜面 27dに 沿って排水口 25から排水トラップの上流に排水される。ここで、排水口 25にはフィル タ 26が取り付けられるので、生ゴミ類はフィルタ 26を通ることはなぐ水分が排水口 2 5へ排水される。  [0137] Since the inclined surface 27d is formed on the upper surface of the bottom lid 22, moisture is drained from the outlet 25 to the upstream of the drain trap along the inclined surface 27d. Here, since the filter 26 is attached to the drain 25, the raw garbage is drained to the drain 25 without passing through the filter 26.
[0138] さて、図 5 (a)に示すように、底蓋 22を閉じた状態では、投入開口部 9側でシー ル材 30が露出する部分は、底蓋 22の蓋部 27と投入筒部 21のクリアランス部分であ る。このため、誤ってフォーク等が投入されても、シール材 30を傷つけることはない。  [0138] As shown in Fig. 5 (a), when the bottom cover 22 is closed, the portion where the sealing material 30 is exposed on the side of the charging opening 9 is the cover 27 of the bottom lid 22 and the charging cylinder. This is the clearance part of part 21. Therefore, even if a fork or the like is accidentally inserted, the sealing member 30 is not damaged.
[0139] 図 21は生ゴミ投入時の処理の流れを示すフローチャートである。投入開口部 9 に投入された生ゴミを生ゴミ処理装置 1で処理するため、まず、蓋体 11で投入開口部 9を閉じる (ステップ Al)。  FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing when putting garbage. In order to process the garbage thrown into the charging opening 9 by the garbage processing apparatus 1, first, the charging opening 9 is closed with the lid 11 (step Al).
[0140] 蓋体 11を投入開口部 9に嵌め、所定の方向に回転させると、蓋体 11の係止穴 l ibにスライドロック 13の係止爪 16が嵌り、蓋体 11の回転が規制される。また、蓋体 11のリブ 11aが投入開口部 9のリブ 10aに嵌り、蓋体 11の上方への移動を規制する 。これにより、蓋体 11は投入開口部 9に閉状態でロックされる。  [0140] When the lid 11 is fitted into the opening 9 and rotated in a predetermined direction, the locking claw 16 of the slide lock 13 is fitted into the locking hole l ib of the lid 11, and the rotation of the lid 11 is restricted. Is done. Further, the rib 11a of the lid 11 fits into the rib 10a of the input opening 9, and restricts the upward movement of the lid 11. As a result, the lid 11 is locked to the input opening 9 in a closed state.
[0141] 蓋体 11の係止穴 l ibにスライドロック 13の係止爪 16が嵌る位置となると、蓋体 11のマグネット 18を上蓋検出センサ 19が検出する。これにより、システムコントローラ 92は、蓋体 11が開口投入部 9に嵌り、閉状態でロックされたことを検出する (ステップ A2)。  When the locking claw 16 of the slide lock 13 is fitted to the locking hole l ib of the lid 11, the upper lid detection sensor 19 detects the magnet 18 of the lid 11. Thereby, the system controller 92 detects that the lid 11 has been fitted into the opening insertion portion 9 and locked in the closed state (step A2).
[0142] システムコントローラ 92は、上蓋検出センサ 19で蓋体 11のロックを検出すると、 原点位置検出センサ 51aの出力から回転翼 44の位置を検出する。すなわち、回転 翼 44が回転している場合は、原点位置検出センサ 51aが回転翼 44を検出すると、モ ータ 67の回転を停止して、回転翼 44を原点位置で停止させる(ステップ A3)。  When the upper lid detection sensor 19 detects the lock of the lid 11, the system controller 92 detects the position of the rotary wing 44 from the output of the origin position detection sensor 51a. That is, when the rotor 44 is rotating, when the origin position detection sensor 51a detects the rotor 44, the rotation of the motor 67 is stopped, and the rotor 44 is stopped at the origin position (step A3). .
[0143] また、システムコントローラ 92は、ファン 69を駆動するファンモータの回転を停 止する。本例では、ファン 69の回転を停止すると、カバー 41内部と外部との圧力の 関係で逆止弁 72が閉じる。更に、ステッピングモータで逆止弁ユニット 76の逆止弁を 閉じ、 PTCヒータ 52を停止する(ステップ A4)。  Further, the system controller 92 stops the rotation of the fan motor that drives the fan 69. In this example, when the rotation of the fan 69 is stopped, the check valve 72 closes due to the pressure between the inside and the outside of the cover 41. Further, the check valve of the check valve unit 76 is closed by the stepping motor, and the PTC heater 52 is stopped (step A4).
[0144] システムコントローラ 92は、上蓋検出センサ 19で蓋体 11のロックを検出すると、 一定時間経過後に、ステッピングモータ 36aの駆動を開始する。ここで、システムコン トローラ 92は、上蓋検出センサ 19で蓋体 11のロックを検出してから、一定時間経過 するまでに、上述したステップ A3およびステップ A4の処理を行う。 When the upper lid detection sensor 19 detects that the lid 11 is locked, the system controller 92 After a certain period of time, the driving of the stepping motor 36a is started. Here, the system controller 92 performs the above-described processes of step A3 and step A4 until a predetermined time elapses after the upper lid detection sensor 19 detects the lock of the lid 11.
[0145] 図 22 (a)〜図 22 (d)は底蓋のロックおよびロック解除を行うロックカムの動作を 示す説明図であり、上段は蓋体 (上蓋)、下段は底蓋のロック機構を示す。図 22 (a) は第 1のロックカム 33および第 2のロックカム 34が原点位置にある状態を示す。第 1 のロックカム 33が原点位置にある状態では、スライドロック 13は係止爪 16が投入開 口部 9から突出する。また、第 2のロックカム 34が原点位置にある状態では、押上部 3 4aが底蓋 22に当接して押し上げている。  FIGS. 22 (a) to 22 (d) are explanatory views showing the operation of the lock cam for locking and unlocking the bottom cover. The upper part shows the lid (upper lid), and the lower part shows the lock mechanism for the bottom lid. Show. FIG. 22A shows a state where the first lock cam 33 and the second lock cam 34 are at the origin positions. When the first lock cam 33 is at the home position, the locking claw 16 of the slide lock 13 projects from the insertion opening 9. When the second lock cam 34 is at the home position, the push-up portion 34a contacts the bottom cover 22 and pushes up.
[0146] システムコントローラ 92は、上蓋検出センサ 19で蓋体 11のロックを検出して一 定時間経過すると、ステッピングモータ 36aを駆動して第 2のロックカム 34を矢印 a方 向に回転させ、底蓋 22を開く(ステップ A5)。  [0146] The system controller 92 drives the stepping motor 36a to rotate the second lock cam 34 in the direction of arrow a when a certain period of time has elapsed after the upper lid detection sensor 19 detects the lock of the lid 11, and Open the lid 22 (step A5).
[0147] 図 22 (b)は第 2のロックカム 34を原点位置力も矢印 a方向に 90度回転させた状 態を示す。第 2のロックカム 34が原点位置力も矢印 a方向に 90度回転すると、押上部 34aが徐々に底蓋 22から離れる力 この状態ではまだ底蓋 22を保持している。  FIG. 22 (b) shows a state in which the second lock cam 34 has also been rotated by 90 degrees in the direction of the arrow a with respect to the origin position force. When the second lock cam 34 also rotates the origin position force 90 degrees in the direction of arrow a, the push-up portion 34a gradually separates from the bottom cover 22. In this state, the bottom cover 22 is still held.
[0148] ここで、第 2のロックカム 34と第 1のロックカム 33は図 2に示すように駆動シャフト 35で連結されるので、第 2のロックカム 34を回転させると第 1のロックカム 33も連動し て回転する。第 1のロックカム 33が原点位置力も矢印 a方向に 90度回転すると、リンク 14力も離れる。この状態では、スライドロック 13は移動しない。  [0148] Here, since the second lock cam 34 and the first lock cam 33 are connected by the drive shaft 35 as shown in FIG. 2, when the second lock cam 34 is rotated, the first lock cam 33 is also interlocked. Rotate. When the first lock cam 33 also rotates by 90 degrees in the direction of the arrow a in the home position, the force of the link 14 is also released. In this state, the slide lock 13 does not move.
[0149] 図 22 (c)は第 2のロックカム 34を原点位置力も矢印 a方向に 130度回転させた 状態を示す。第 2のロックカム 34が原点位置力も矢印 a方向に 130度回転すると、押 上部 34aが底蓋 22から離れる。これにより、第 2のロックカム 34による底蓋 22の閉状 態でのロックが解除される。  FIG. 22 (c) shows a state in which the second lock cam 34 has also been rotated by 130 degrees in the direction of arrow a with respect to the origin position force. When the second lock cam 34 also rotates by 130 degrees in the direction of arrow a in the direction of the arrow a, the push-up portion 34a separates from the bottom cover 22. Thereby, the lock in the closed state of the bottom lid 22 by the second lock cam 34 is released.
[0150] 底蓋 22は鉛直方向に開くので、第 2のロックカム 34によるロックが解除されると、 自重および生ゴミの重さで軸部 28を支点にして開く。図 23に底蓋 22が開いた状態 を示す。これにより、底蓋 22の載せられた生ゴミは、処理容器 42内に投入される。  [0150] Since the bottom cover 22 opens in the vertical direction, when the lock by the second lock cam 34 is released, the bottom cover 22 is opened with its own weight and the weight of the garbage around the shaft 28. FIG. 23 shows a state in which the bottom cover 22 is open. Thus, the garbage placed on the bottom cover 22 is put into the processing container 42.
[0151] このとき、回転翼 44は原点位置で停止しているので、底蓋 22の開放動作中に、 底蓋 22が回転翼 44に接触することはない。 [0152] さて、通常は底蓋 22は第 2のロックカム 34によるロックが解除されれば自重等で 自動的に開くが、シール材 30が貼り付く等によって、 自重では開力ない状態が考え られる。そこで、第 2のロックカム 34によって底蓋 22を強制的に開く。 [0151] At this time, since the rotor 44 is stopped at the origin position, the bottom lid 22 does not contact the rotor 44 during the opening operation of the bottom lid 22. [0152] Normally, the bottom cover 22 is automatically opened by its own weight or the like when the lock by the second lock cam 34 is released, but it is conceivable that the bottom cover 22 does not open with its own weight due to sticking of the sealing material 30 or the like. . Then, the bottom cover 22 is forcibly opened by the second lock cam 34.
[0153] 図 22 (d)は第 2のロックカム 34を原点位置力も矢印 a方向に 180度回転させた 状態を示す。第 2のロックカム 34が原点位置力も矢印 a方向に 180度回転すると、押 下部 34bが底蓋 22の押圧部 29を上方力も押圧する。これにより、底蓋 22には強制 的に開く力が加わり、シール材 30が貼り付く等によって、自重では開かない状態であ つても、強制的に開くことができる (ステップ A6)。  FIG. 22D shows a state in which the second lock cam 34 is also rotated by 180 degrees in the direction of the arrow a with respect to the origin position force. When the second lock cam 34 also rotates the origin position force by 180 degrees in the direction of the arrow a, the pressing portion 34b also presses the pressing portion 29 of the bottom lid 22 with an upward force. As a result, a force for forcibly opening the bottom lid 22 is applied, and the sealing material 30 can be forcibly opened even if the bottom cover 22 cannot be opened by its own weight (step A6).
[0154] システムコントローラ 92は、第 2のロックカム 34および第 1のロックカム 33を原点 位置力も矢印 a方向に 180度回転させると、ステッピングモータ 36aの駆動を停止す る。ここで、第 2のロックカム 34および第 1のロックカム 33の回転角度は、カム位置検 出センサ 39で原点位置を検出しておき、ステッピングモータ 36aの回転位相で制御 する。  [0154] The system controller 92 stops driving the stepping motor 36a when the second lock cam 34 and the first lock cam 33 are also rotated by 180 degrees in the direction of the arrow a in the direction of the arrow a. Here, the rotation angle of the second lock cam 34 and the first lock cam 33 is controlled by the rotation phase of the stepping motor 36a by detecting the origin position by the cam position detection sensor 39.
[0155] なお、第 1のロックカム 33が原点位置力も矢印 a方向に 180度回転する間は、第 1のロックカム 33はリンク 14力も離れており、スライドロック 13は移動しない。これによ り、蓋体 11は閉状態でロックされたままである。このため、底蓋 22が開いた状態で、 蓋体 11を開くことはできず、処理容器 42からの臭気の逆流および処理容器 42内へ の水分の流入を防ぐ。  [0155] While the first lock cam 33 rotates the origin position force by 180 degrees in the direction of arrow a, the first lock cam 33 is also separated by the link 14 force, and the slide lock 13 does not move. As a result, the lid 11 remains locked in the closed state. For this reason, the lid 11 cannot be opened with the bottom lid 22 opened, thereby preventing the backflow of the odor from the processing container 42 and the inflow of moisture into the processing container 42.
[0156] さて、上蓋検出センサ 19で蓋体 11のロックを検出してから、ステッピングモータ 36aの駆動を開始して底蓋 22を開くまでの時間としては数秒程度、例えば 5秒程度 に設定する。  [0156] The time from the detection of the lock of the lid 11 by the upper lid detection sensor 19 to the start of the driving of the stepping motor 36a to the opening of the bottom lid 22 is set to about several seconds, for example, about 5 seconds. .
[0157] これは、投入開口部 9に投入された生ゴミは水分を含んでいると考えられるので 、蓋体 11が閉じられた後でも底蓋 22上で待機させることで水分を切ってから、処理 容器 42内に投入するためである。  [0157] Since it is considered that the garbage introduced into the introduction opening 9 contains moisture, even after the lid 11 is closed, the garbage is kept on the bottom lid 22 to cut off the moisture. This is for charging into the processing container 42.
[0158] システムコントローラ 92は、第 2のロックカム 34および第 1のロックカム 33を原点 位置力も矢印 a方向に 180度回転させてステッピングモータ 36aの駆動を停止すると 、モータ 67により回転翼 44を図 24に示すように矢印 c方向に回転させる (ステップ A 7)。 [0159] 底蓋 22が開放した状態で、原点位置にある回転翼 44を矢印 c方向に回転させ ると、底蓋 22は回転翼 44の回転軌跡中に存在するので、回転翼 44の翼部 46が底 蓋 22の押上凸部 32に接触する。更に、図 25に示すように、回転翼 44を底蓋押上検 出センサ 51bで検出されるまで回転させると、回転翼 44は底蓋 22を押し上げ、底蓋 22は軸部 28を支点とした回転動作で閉じる。 The system controller 92 rotates the second lock cam 34 and the first lock cam 33 by 180 degrees in the direction of the arrow a in the direction of arrow a to stop driving the stepping motor 36a. Rotate in the direction of arrow c as shown in (Step A 7). [0159] When the rotor 44 at the origin position is rotated in the direction of the arrow c with the bottom cover 22 opened, the bottom cover 22 exists in the rotation locus of the rotor 44, so that the blade 44 The part 46 comes into contact with the push-up projection 32 of the bottom lid 22. Further, as shown in FIG. 25, when the rotor 44 is rotated until it is detected by the bottom cover push-up detection sensor 51b, the rotor 44 pushes up the bottom cover 22, and the bottom cover 22 is supported by the shaft 28 as a fulcrum. Close by rotating operation.
[0160] システムコントローラ 92は、底蓋押上検出センサ 51bが回転翼 44を検出すると 、モータ 67の回転を停止する。これにより、底蓋 22は回転翼 44に支持された状態で 、投入筒部 21を塞ぐ。  The system controller 92 stops the rotation of the motor 67 when the bottom cover push-up detection sensor 51b detects the rotary blade 44. As a result, the bottom lid 22 closes the charging cylinder 21 while being supported by the rotor 44.
[0161] ここで、モータ 67の回転を開始してから、所定時間経過しても底蓋押上検出セ ンサ 51bが回転翼 44を検出しない場合は、システムコントローラ 92は、モータ 67を所 定量逆転させて回転翼 44を原点位置あるいは原点位置を多少越える程度まで戻し 、リトライする。なお、複数回のリトライでも底蓋押上検出センサ 51bが回転翼 44を検 出しない場合は、アラームを発生してエラーとする。  [0161] Here, if the bottom cover push-up detection sensor 51b does not detect the rotary wing 44 after a predetermined time has elapsed since the rotation of the motor 67 was started, the system controller 92 rotates the motor 67 in a fixed reverse direction. Then, the rotor 44 is returned to the origin position or a position slightly beyond the origin position, and the retry is performed. If the bottom cover push-up detection sensor 51b does not detect the rotor 44 even after a plurality of retries, an alarm is generated and an error is generated.
[0162] なお、このエラー時では、底蓋 22は開放した状態であると考えられるので、シス テムコントローラ 92は蓋体 11を閉状態でロックしたままとすると共に、逆止弁ユニット 76の逆止弁を閉じたままとして、臭気の拡散と処理容器 42内への水分の浸入を防ぐ  [0162] At the time of this error, since the bottom cover 22 is considered to be in an open state, the system controller 92 keeps the cover 11 locked in the closed state, and also checks the check valve unit 76 in reverse. Keep the stop valve closed to prevent odor diffusion and moisture intrusion into the processing vessel 42
[0163] なお、図 1に示すように、シンク 2には投入開口部 9と並列して排水口部 8が形成 され、排水口部 8は蓋体 11では塞がれないので、蓋体 11を閉じたままでも、通常の シンクとしての機會は果たすようになって!/ヽる。 [0163] As shown in Fig. 1, a drain port 8 is formed in the sink 2 in parallel with the charging opening 9, and the drain port 8 is not closed by the lid 11, so that the lid 11 is closed. Even if is closed, the opportunity as a normal sink comes to play!
[0164] システムコントローラ 92は、底蓋押上検出センサ 51bが回転翼 44を検出してモ ータ 67の回転を停止すると、ステッピングモータ 36aを回転させ、第 2のロックカム 34 および第 1のロックカム 33を、図 22 (d)の状態から、矢印 b方向に回転させる。  When the bottom cover push-up detection sensor 51b detects the rotary wing 44 and stops the rotation of the motor 67, the system controller 92 rotates the stepping motor 36a to cause the second lock cam 34 and the first lock cam 33 to rotate. Is rotated in the direction of arrow b from the state shown in FIG. 22 (d).
[0165] 第 2のロックカム 34が図 22 (b)の状態まで矢印 b方向に回転すると、押上部 34a が底蓋 22の押圧部 29に接触して、底蓋 22を押し上げる。そして、第 2のロックカム 3 4が図 22 (a)の状態まで矢印 b方向に回転すると、押上部 34による押上動作は完了 する(ステップ A8)。  When the second lock cam 34 rotates in the direction of the arrow b to the state shown in FIG. 22B, the push-up portion 34a comes into contact with the pressing portion 29 of the bottom cover 22 to push up the bottom cover 22. Then, when the second lock cam 34 rotates in the direction of the arrow b until the state shown in FIG. 22A, the push-up operation by the push-up unit 34 is completed (step A8).
[0166] ここで、第 1のロックカム 33は、図 22 (d)の状態から図 22 (a)の状態まで矢印 b 方向に回転する間は、リンク 14と接触しないので、スライドロック 13は移動しない。こ れにより、蓋体 11は閉状態でロックされたままである。 Here, the first lock cam 33 moves from the state shown in FIG. 22D to the state shown in FIG. While rotating in the direction, the slide lock 13 does not move because it does not contact the link 14. Thus, the lid 11 remains locked in the closed state.
[0167] 図 26 (a)〜図 26 (c)は蓋体のロック解除を行うロックカムの動作を示す説明図 である。図 26 (a)は第 1のロックカム 33および第 2のロックカム 34が原点位置にある 状態を示す。 FIGS. 26 (a) to 26 (c) are explanatory views showing the operation of the lock cam for unlocking the lid. FIG. 26A shows a state in which the first lock cam 33 and the second lock cam 34 are at the origin positions.
[0168] 図 26 (b)は第 1のロックカム 33を原点位置力 矢印 b方向に 9度回転させた状 態を示す。第 1のロックカム 33が原点位置力 矢印 b方向に 9度回転すると、リンク 14 のカム当接面 14bに接触する。  FIG. 26 (b) shows a state where the first lock cam 33 has been rotated 9 degrees in the direction of the arrow b in the origin position. When the first lock cam 33 rotates 9 degrees in the direction of the arrow b in the direction of the home position, it comes into contact with the cam contact surface 14b of the link 14.
[0169] 図 26 (c)は第 1のロックカム 33を原点位置力も矢印 b方向に 75度回転させた状 態を示す。第 1のロックカム 33が原点位置力も矢印 b方向に 75度回転すると、リンク 1 4のカム当接面 14bを押し、リンク 14を軸部 14aを支点に矢印 d方向に回転させる。  FIG. 26 (c) shows a state in which the first lock cam 33 is also rotated by 75 degrees in the direction of the arrow b with respect to the origin position force. When the first lock cam 33 also rotates by 75 degrees in the direction of the arrow b in the direction of the arrow b, the cam contact surface 14b of the link 14 is pushed, and the link 14 is rotated in the direction of the arrow d with the shaft portion 14a as a fulcrum.
[0170] リンク 14は、軸部 14aを挟んで一方の端部力スライドロック 13の他端側に回転 自在に連結される。これにより、リンク 14の回転動作がスライドロック 13のスライド移動 動作に変換され、係止爪 16が図 4に示す蓋体 11の係止穴 l ibから退避する。  [0170] The link 14 is rotatably connected to the other end of the one end force slide lock 13 with the shaft portion 14a interposed therebetween. As a result, the rotation operation of the link 14 is converted into the slide movement operation of the slide lock 13, and the locking claw 16 retreats from the locking hole lib of the lid 11 shown in FIG.
[0171] これにより、蓋体 11のロックが解除され、所定の方向に回転させることで、投入 開口部 9から取り外すことができる (ステップ A9)。  [0171] As a result, the lock of the lid 11 is released, and the lid 11 can be removed from the insertion opening 9 by rotating in a predetermined direction (step A9).
[0172] なお、第 2のロックカム 34が原点位置力も矢印 b方向に 75度回転する間は、押 上部 34aの平面部分が底蓋 22と接触しており、底蓋 22を閉状態でロックする。  [0172] While the second lock cam 34 also rotates the origin position force by 75 degrees in the direction of arrow b, the flat portion of the push-up portion 34a is in contact with the bottom cover 22 and locks the bottom cover 22 in a closed state. .
[0173] システムコントローラ 92は、第 1のロックカム 33および第 2のロックカム 34を原点 位置力も矢印 b方向に 75度回転させると、ステッピングモータ 36aの駆動を停止する 。そして、上蓋検出センサ 19の出力から、蓋体 11が外されたかどうか検出する (ステ ップ A 10)。  [0173] The system controller 92 stops driving the stepping motor 36a when the first lock cam 33 and the second lock cam 34 are also rotated by 75 degrees in the direction of the arrow b in the direction of the origin. Then, from the output of the upper lid detection sensor 19, it is detected whether or not the lid 11 has been removed (step A10).
[0174] 蓋体 11が取り付けられたままであると、ステッピングモータ 36aを停止させたまま とし、蓋体 11のロックを解除した状態を保持する。  [0174] When the lid 11 is still attached, the stepping motor 36a is kept stopped, and the unlocked state of the lid 11 is maintained.
[0175] 蓋体 11が取り外されると、システムコントローラ 92は、ステッピングモータ 36aを 図 26 (c)に示す状態力 矢印 aに回転させ、図 26 (a)に示す原点位置に戻す (ステツ プ Al l)。 When the lid 11 is removed, the system controller 92 rotates the stepping motor 36a to the state force arrow a shown in FIG. 26 (c) and returns it to the origin position shown in FIG. 26 (a) (step Al l).
[0176] システムコントローラ 92は、カム位置検出センサ 39の出力力も第 1のロックカム 3 3および第 2のロックカム 34が原点位置に戻ったことを検出すると、ステッピングモー タ 36aの回転を停止する。 [0176] The system controller 92 also determines that the output force of the cam position detection sensor 39 is the first lock cam 3 Upon detecting that the third and second lock cams 34 have returned to the home positions, the rotation of the stepping motor 36a is stopped.
[0177] 上述したように、第 1のロックカム 33が原点位置にある状態では、スライドロック 1As described above, when the first lock cam 33 is at the home position, the slide lock 1
3は係止爪 16が投入開口部 9から突出する。また、第 2のロックカム 34が原点位置に ある状態では、押上部 34aが底蓋 22に当接して押し上げている。これにより、投入開 口部 9から生ゴミを投入できる状態となる。 In 3, the locking claw 16 projects from the input opening 9. When the second lock cam 34 is at the home position, the push-up portion 34a contacts the bottom cover 22 and pushes up. As a result, a state in which garbage can be input from the input opening 9 is obtained.
[0178] なお、第 2のロックカム 34で底蓋 22を閉状態でロックしている状態では、押上凸 部 32の下端面は回転翼 44の翼部 46の回転軌跡の外にあり、閉じた状態の底蓋 22 が回転翼 44の回転の妨げになることはない。 In a state where the bottom lid 22 is locked in the closed state with the second lock cam 34, the lower end surface of the push-up projection 32 is outside the rotation trajectory of the wing 46 of the rotary wing 44 and is closed. The bottom lid 22 in the state does not hinder the rotation of the rotor 44.
[0179] <破砕乾燥動作 > [0179] <Crushing and drying operation>
上述した投入動作で生ゴミ投入装置 3から生ゴミ破砕乾燥装置 4に投入された 生ゴミは、処理容器 42で破砕および乾燥させる。  The garbage input from the garbage input device 3 to the garbage crushing and drying device 4 in the above-described charging operation is crushed and dried in the processing container 42.
[0180] 処理容器 42での破砕'乾燥動作は、底蓋 22が閉じている必要があるので、上 述した投入動作で底蓋 22を閉じる動作を行い、正常に閉じたことが検出されると、シ ステムコントローラ 92は破砕'乾燥動作を開始する。 [0180] In the crushing and drying operation in the processing container 42, since the bottom cover 22 needs to be closed, the operation of closing the bottom cover 22 is performed by the above-described charging operation, and it is detected that the container is normally closed. Then, the system controller 92 starts the crushing / drying operation.
[0181] すなわち、 PTCヒータ 52をオンとし、処理容器 42を加熱する。また、ファン 69を 回転させ、回転翼 44の翼部 46のスリット 48から送風を開始する。更に、モータ 67の 回転を開始し、回転翼 44を矢印 c方向に回転させる。 That is, the PTC heater 52 is turned on, and the processing container 42 is heated. Further, the fan 69 is rotated to start blowing air from the slit 48 of the wing portion 46 of the rotary wing 44. Further, the rotation of the motor 67 is started, and the rotor 44 is rotated in the direction of arrow c.
[0182] 回転翼 44を矢印 c方向に回転させると、処理容器 42内の生ゴミは、スリット 48か らの送風を受けながら、翼部 46によりかき上げられる。回転翼 44の翼部 46がカバー ユニット 58に備えたカッター 62を通過すると、カッター 62は翼部 46の溝部 47を通過 することになるので、翼部 46で力き上げられた生ゴミはカッター 62で破砕される。 When the rotary blade 44 is rotated in the direction of arrow c, the garbage in the processing container 42 is swept up by the blade 46 while being blown from the slit 48. When the wings 46 of the rotary wings 44 pass through the cutter 62 provided in the cover unit 58, the cutters 62 pass through the grooves 47 of the wings 46. Crushed at 62.
[0183] そして、カッター 62は回転翼 44の軸線方向に沿って複数枚設けてあるので、生 ゴミを細力べ破砕することができる。また、各カッター 62は周方向に対しても位置をず らしてあるので、例えば 1つの物体を複数のカッター 62で同時に切断するような事象 が発生しにくぐ回転翼 44に過大な力が加わることを防ぐ。 [0183] Since a plurality of cutters 62 are provided along the axial direction of the rotary wing 44, the garbage can be crushed with a small force. In addition, since the respective cutters 62 are also displaced in the circumferential direction, an excessive force is applied to the rotating blades 44, which is difficult to cause, for example, an event of simultaneously cutting one object with a plurality of cutters 62. Prevent that.
[0184] また、回転翼 44の翼部 46の先端にはワイパ 50が取り付けられており、処理容 器 42の底部付近では、ワイパ 50が処理容器 42の内面に接触する。これにより、生ゴ ミの処理容器 42への付着を防!、で!/、る。 [0184] A wiper 50 is attached to the tip of the wing portion 46 of the rotary wing 44, and near the bottom of the processing container 42, the wiper 50 contacts the inner surface of the processing container 42. This allows raw Prevents mi from adhering to the processing container 42!
[0185] このように、回転翼 44を回転させることで、処理容器 42内で生ゴミは攪拌されな がら、スリット 48からの送風で水分を蒸発させ、乾燥させる。また PTCヒータ 52で処 理容器 42を加熱することで、水分の蒸発を促進する。 As described above, by rotating the rotating blades 44, while the garbage is stirred in the processing container 42, moisture is evaporated by blowing air from the slits 48 and dried. By heating the processing container 42 with the PTC heater 52, the evaporation of water is promoted.
[0186] PTCヒータ 52は自己温度制御機能を有するので、必要以上の電力を消費せず[0186] Since the PTC heater 52 has a self-temperature control function, it does not consume more power than necessary.
、低電力化が図れる。 Power consumption can be reduced.
[0187] なお、回転翼 44からの送風を温風とするためには、ファン 69からの送風経路に ヒータを設けると共に、温度管理が必要となって、構造が複雑になるが、 PTCヒータ 5 2を処理容器 42に貼り付けて使用することで、回転翼 44からは常温の送風を行 ヽっ つ、処理容器 42内の生ゴミを加熱して、乾燥を促進させることができる。また、乾燥す ることで微生物の活動を弱め、臭気の発生を抑えることができる。  [0187] In order to make the air blown from the rotary blades 44 into warm air, a heater is provided in the air blow path from the fan 69 and temperature control is required, which complicates the structure. By sticking 2 to the processing container 42 and using it, the garbage in the processing container 42 can be heated by blowing air at a normal temperature from the rotor 44 to promote drying. Drying also weakens the activity of microorganisms and suppresses odor generation.
[0188] 処理容器 42内の空気は、排気口 74力らフィルタユニット 75、逆止弁ユニット 76 を介して排水トラップより下流の排水管へ排気される。排気口 74は、処理容器 42の 上部に配置したので、水分が直接流入することを防ぐ。また、フィルタユニット 75を介 して ヽることで、破砕されて乾燥した乾燥ゴミ粉が排気されることを防ぐ。  [0188] The air in the processing container 42 is exhausted from the exhaust port 74 through the filter unit 75 and the check valve unit 76 to a drain pipe downstream from the drain trap. Since the exhaust port 74 is disposed at the upper part of the processing container 42, it prevents water from flowing directly. Further, by passing through the filter unit 75, it is possible to prevent the crushed and dried dry dust powder from being exhausted.
[0189] 上述したように、フィルタユニット 75に外部より操作可能なブラシ 79を備えること で、フィルタユニット 75を取り外すことなぐフィルタ 78の清掃が可能であり、フィルタ 7 8の目詰まりを防ぐことができる。また、ブラシ 79を備えることに代えて、フィルタ 78を 着脱できるようにして、洗浄可能としても良い。  [0189] By providing the filter unit 75 with the brush 79 that can be operated from the outside as described above, the filter 78 can be cleaned without removing the filter unit 75, and clogging of the filter 78 can be prevented. it can. Further, instead of providing the brush 79, the filter 78 may be made detachable so that the filter can be washed.
[0190] なお、処理容器 42からの排気は排水トラップの下流に行うので、通常、水が逆 流することはない。但し、排水管が詰まった場合等は、水が逆流する可能性がある。 このため、逆止弁 76から排水管までの経路中に水の流入を検出するセンサを備えて 、もし、水が逆流してきた場合は逆止弁 76を閉じ、処理容器 42内への水の逆流を防 ぐ。  [0190] Since the exhaust from the processing container 42 is performed downstream of the drain trap, water does not normally flow backward. However, when the drain pipe is clogged, the water may flow backward. For this reason, a sensor for detecting the inflow of water is provided in the path from the check valve 76 to the drain pipe. If water flows backward, the check valve 76 is closed, and the water flows into the treatment container 42. Prevent backflow.
[0191] <カバーユニットの開閉動作 >  [0191] <Opening / closing operation of cover unit>
上述した破砕乾燥動作中は、カバーユニット 58は処理容器 42の排出口 53を 閉じている。処理容器 42内で破砕され乾燥された乾燥ゴミ粉は、後述する動作で排 出口 53から排出される。そこで、排出動作に先立つカバーユニット 58の開閉動作に っ 、て図 13 (a)および図 13 (b)等を参照して説明する。 During the crushing and drying operation described above, the cover unit 58 closes the outlet 53 of the processing container 42. The dried dust powder crushed and dried in the processing container 42 is discharged from the discharge outlet 53 by an operation described later. Therefore, the opening and closing operation of the cover unit 58 prior to the discharging operation Therefore, a description will be given with reference to FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b).
[0192] カバーユニット 58は、ガイドボス 59がガイド溝 55の閉塞ガイド部 55aに位置する 状態では、排出口 53を塞ぐ。このとき、操作レバー 60を操作することで、プレート 60a がガイドリブ 54の係止穴 57に嵌る。これにより、カバーユニット 58は排出口 53を閉じ た状態でロックされる。また、操作レバー 60のプレート 60aがガイドリブ 54の係止穴 5 7に嵌ると、排出口開閉検出センサ 61の出力から、システムコントローラ 92はカバー ユニット 58が閉じられていることを検出できる。  [0192] The cover unit 58 closes the discharge port 53 when the guide boss 59 is located at the closing guide portion 55a of the guide groove 55. At this time, by operating the operation lever 60, the plate 60a fits into the locking hole 57 of the guide rib 54. As a result, the cover unit 58 is locked with the outlet 53 closed. When the plate 60a of the operation lever 60 fits into the locking hole 57 of the guide rib 54, the output of the discharge opening / closing detection sensor 61 allows the system controller 92 to detect that the cover unit 58 is closed.
[0193] 操作レバー 60を操作して、プレート 60aを係止穴 57から退避させると、カバー ユニット 58をガイド溝 55に沿って手前に引くことが可能となる。このとき、ガイドボス 59 はガイド溝 55において閉塞ガイド部 55aから昇降ガイド部 55bに移動する。これによ り、カバーユニット 58は昇降ガイド部 55bに沿って上下に昇降可能となる。  [0193] When the operating lever 60 is operated to retract the plate 60a from the locking hole 57, the cover unit 58 can be pulled forward along the guide groove 55. At this time, the guide boss 59 moves from the closed guide portion 55a to the elevating guide portion 55b in the guide groove 55. This allows the cover unit 58 to move up and down along the elevating guide portion 55b.
[0194] ガイドボス 59が昇降ガイド部 55bの上端に到達するまでカバーユニット 58を上 昇させると、カバーユニット 58をガイド溝 55に沿って押し込むことで、ガイドボス 59が 昇降ガイド部 55bから開放ガイド部 55cに移動する。これにより、カバーユニット 58は 排出口 53の前方を開放し、排出口 53の上方で立設した状態で保持される。  [0194] When the cover unit 58 is raised until the guide boss 59 reaches the upper end of the elevating guide portion 55b, the guide boss 59 is opened from the elevating guide portion 55b by pushing the cover unit 58 along the guide groove 55. Move to guide section 55c. As a result, the cover unit 58 is opened in front of the discharge port 53 and is held upright above the discharge port 53.
[0195] ここで、カッター 62はカバーユニット 58の裏面に備えられるので、図 27に示す ようにカバーユニット 58を開放状態としても、カバーユニット 58の裏面と処理容器 42 の間に位置するので、手を触れることはできない。  Here, since the cutter 62 is provided on the back surface of the cover unit 58, even if the cover unit 58 is opened as shown in FIG. 27, since the cutter 62 is located between the back surface of the cover unit 58 and the processing container 42, You cannot touch it.
[0196] 図 1に示すように、処理容器 42はカバー 41に収納されているため、開放した力 バーユニット 58の上方力も裏面側に手を入れることはできず、カッター 62に手を触れ ることが出来な!/ヽようになって!/ヽる。  [0196] As shown in FIG. 1, the processing container 42 is housed in the cover 41, so that the upper force of the opened force bar unit 58 cannot reach the back side, and touches the cutter 62. I can't do it!
[0197] また、図 27に示すように、開放したカバーユニット 58の下方と排出口 53の間に 多少の隙間は形成されるが、狭い隙間なので、手を入れることはできず、カッター 62 に手を触れることができな 、ようになって 、る。  As shown in FIG. 27, a small gap is formed between the bottom of the open cover unit 58 and the discharge port 53, but the hand is not accessible because the gap is narrow. I can't touch my hand.
[0198] カッター 62を交換する場合は、カバーユニット 58ごと交換する。まず、ロックレバ 一 56を移動させ、着脱ガイド部 55dを開放する。そして、カバーユニット 58をガイド溝 55の昇降ガイド部 55bに沿って移動させ、ガイドボス 59を着脱ガイド部 55dに位置さ せて、カバーユニット 58を手前に引く。 [0199] これにより、ガイドボス 59がガイド溝 55から外れ、カバーユニット 58を処理容器 42から取り外すことができる。カバーユニット 58を処理容器 42に取り付けるには、取 り外しと逆の手順で行えば良 、。 [0198] When replacing the cutter 62, the entire cover unit 58 is replaced. First, the lock lever 56 is moved to open the detachable guide 55d. Then, the cover unit 58 is moved along the elevating guide portion 55b of the guide groove 55, the guide boss 59 is positioned at the detachable guide portion 55d, and the cover unit 58 is pulled toward the user. As a result, the guide boss 59 comes off the guide groove 55, and the cover unit 58 can be removed from the processing container. To attach the cover unit 58 to the processing container 42, reverse the removal procedure.
[0200] すなわち、ロックレバー 56を移動させて着脱ガイド部 55dを開放した状態で、力 バーユニット 58のガイドボス 59を着脱ガイド部 55dに嵌め、カバーユニット 58を押し 込む。これにより、ガイドボス 59はガイド溝 55の昇降ガイド部 55bに嵌る。そして、ガ イドボス 59が昇降ガイド部 55bの下端に到達するまでカバーユニット 58を下降させる と、カバーユニット 58を押し込むことで、ガイドボス 59が昇降ガイド部 55bから閉塞ガ イド部 55aに移動する。これにより、カバーユニット 58は排出口 53を閉じた状態で保 持される。  [0200] That is, with the lock lever 56 moved to open the detachable guide portion 55d, the guide boss 59 of the force bar unit 58 is fitted to the detachable guide portion 55d, and the cover unit 58 is pushed in. As a result, the guide boss 59 fits into the elevating guide portion 55b of the guide groove 55. Then, when the cover unit 58 is lowered until the guide boss 59 reaches the lower end of the elevating guide portion 55b, the guide boss 59 moves from the elevating guide portion 55b to the closing guide portion 55a by pushing the cover unit 58. As a result, the cover unit 58 is held with the outlet 53 closed.
[0201] また、ロックレバー 56を移動させ、着脱ガイド部 56dを閉じることで、カバーュ- ット 58の開閉昇降時に不用意にカバーユニット 58が処理容器 42から外れることを防 ぐ。  [0201] Further, by moving the lock lever 56 and closing the attachment / detachment guide portion 56d, the cover unit 58 is prevented from being accidentally detached from the processing container 42 at the time of opening / closing and raising / lowering of the cover hood 58.
[0202] <排出動作 >  [0202] <Discharge operation>
図 28は排出時の処理の流れを示すフローチャートである。図 1に示すカバー 4 1の前面パネル 41aが開かれたことを、図示しないセンサの出力力も検出すると (ステ ップ B1)、システムコントローラ 92は、原点位置検出センサ 51aの出力から回転翼 44 の位置を検出する。すなわち、回転翼 44が回転している場合は、原点位置検出セン サ 51aが回転翼 44を検出すると、モータ 67の回転を停止して、回転翼 44を原点位 置で停止させる(ステップ B2)。また、ファン 69の回転を停止する。本例では、ファン 6 9の回転を停止すると、逆止弁 72が閉じる。さらに、 PTCヒータ 52を停止する (ステツ プ B3)。  FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing at the time of discharging. Upon detecting that the front panel 41a of the cover 41 shown in FIG. 1 has been opened and also detecting the output force of a sensor (not shown) (step B1), the system controller 92 determines from the output of the home position detection sensor 51a the rotation of the rotor 44. Detect the position. That is, when the rotor 44 is rotating, when the origin position detection sensor 51a detects the rotor 44, the rotation of the motor 67 is stopped, and the rotor 44 is stopped at the origin (step B2). . Further, the rotation of the fan 69 is stopped. In this example, when the rotation of the fan 69 stops, the check valve 72 closes. Further, the PTC heater 52 is stopped (step B3).
[0203] なお、前面パネル 41aの開放時に、上蓋検出センサ 19が蓋体 11を検出してい ると、上述した投入動作が行われている可能性があり、排出動作を行えないので、ブ ザ一やランプなどアラームを発する。  [0203] If the upper lid detection sensor 19 detects the lid 11 when the front panel 41a is opened, the above-described closing operation may be performed, and the discharging operation cannot be performed. It issues an alarm such as a lamp or lamp.
[0204] ユーザは、図 29 (a)に示すように、袋取付アーム 63を軸部 63aを支点に回転さ せて、装置前面に引き出す。そして袋 101の開口部の縁部を袋取付アーム 63のヘラ の間に挟み、袋 101が開いた状態とする (ステップ B4)。 [0205] なお、袋 101を取り付ける前に、カバーユニット 58を開けられないようにするた め、袋取付アーム 63を引き出さないと、カバーユニット 58を開閉できない機構を備え ても良い。 [0204] As shown in Fig. 29 (a), the user rotates the bag mounting arm 63 about the shaft 63a as a fulcrum, and pulls out the bag mounting arm 63 to the front of the apparatus. Then, the edge of the opening of the bag 101 is sandwiched between the spats of the bag mounting arm 63, and the bag 101 is opened (step B4). [0205] In order to prevent the cover unit 58 from being opened before the bag 101 is mounted, a mechanism that cannot open and close the cover unit 58 without pulling out the bag mounting arm 63 may be provided.
[0206] ユーザは、袋取付アーム 63を引き出し、袋 101を取り付けると、カバーユニット 5 When the user pulls out the bag mounting arm 63 and mounts the bag 101, the cover unit 5
8の操作レバー 60を操作して、プレート 60aをガイドリブ 54の係止穴 57から外し、上 述したようにカバーユニット 58を開ける(ステップ B5)。 Operate the operating lever 60 of 8 to release the plate 60a from the locking hole 57 of the guide rib 54, and open the cover unit 58 as described above (step B5).
[0207] ここで、カバーユニット 58の操作レバー 60が操作され、プレート 60aがガイドリブ[0207] Here, the operation lever 60 of the cover unit 58 is operated, and the plate 60a is moved to the guide rib.
54の係止穴 57から外れたことを、排出口開閉検出センサ 61の出力からシステムコン トローラ 92は検出する。 The system controller 92 detects from the output of the discharge port opening / closing detection sensor 61 that it has come off from the locking hole 57 of 54.
[0208] ユーザは、図 29 (b)に示すように、袋 101を取り付けた袋取付アーム 63をもとの 位置に戻して袋 101の開口で排出口 53を覆い、図示しない操作部の所定の操作ボ タンを押す (ステップ B6)。  [0208] As shown in Fig. 29 (b), the user returns the bag mounting arm 63 to which the bag 101 has been mounted to the original position, covers the outlet 53 with the opening of the bag 101, and sets a predetermined position of the operation unit (not shown). Press the operation button (step B6).
[0209] 操作部の所定の操作ボタンが押されると、システムコントローラ 92はゴミ排出モ ードを実行する (ステップ B7)。ここで、ゴミ排出モードは、操作レバー 60によるロック 解除と、操作ボタンの押下の両方を検出した場合に実行される。  [0209] When a predetermined operation button of the operation unit is pressed, the system controller 92 executes a dust discharge mode (step B7). Here, the dust discharge mode is executed when both unlocking by the operation lever 60 and pressing of the operation button are detected.
[0210] システムコントローラ 92は、ゴミ排出モードでは、モータ 67を駆動して、原点位 置にある回転翼 44を図 30に示すようにまず矢印 c方向に回転させる。システムコント ローラ 92は、回転翼 44の回転量が翼部 46の先端が排出口 53の下端を越えない位 置で停止するように、例えば駆動時間を制御することで、回転翼 44の回転量を制御 する。なお、この停止位置をゴミ排出位置と称す。  [0210] In the dust discharge mode, the system controller 92 drives the motor 67 to first rotate the rotor 44 at the origin position in the direction of arrow c as shown in FIG. The system controller 92 controls the driving time so that the rotation amount of the rotor 44 stops at a position where the tip of the wing portion 46 does not exceed the lower end of the discharge port 53. Control. This stop position is referred to as a dust discharge position.
[0211] 回転翼 44を原点位置力 ゴミ排出位置まで回転させると、処理容器 42の底部 に溜まった破砕され乾燥された乾燥ゴミ粉が、回転翼 44の翼部 46によりかき上げら えて、排出口 53から排出される。  [0211] When the rotating blade 44 is rotated to the origin position and the dust discharging position, the crushed and dried dry dust powder collected at the bottom of the processing container 42 is lifted up by the wing portion 46 of the rotating blade 44 and discharged. Exit 53.
[0212] 図 29 (b)に示すように、排出口 53には袋取付アーム 63により袋 101が取り付け られているので、排出ロカも排出された乾燥ゴミ粉は、袋 101に収集される。ここで、 回転翼 44は、原点位置力 ゴミ排出位置まで回転する間は、ワイパ 50が処理容器 4 2の内壁と接触しながら動くことで、乾燥ゴミ粉の残留を極力防ぐことができる。なお、 処理容器 42の内壁とワイパ 50先端との隙間は、乾燥ゴミ粉が下方に落下しない程 度でも良い。 As shown in FIG. 29 (b), since the bag 101 is attached to the outlet 53 by the bag attaching arm 63, the dried dust powder that has also been discharged from the outlet is collected in the bag 101. Here, while the rotating blade 44 rotates to the origin position and the dust discharging position, the wiper 50 moves while being in contact with the inner wall of the processing container 42, so that the residue of the dried dust can be prevented as much as possible. The gap between the inner wall of the processing container 42 and the tip of the wiper 50 is so large that the dry dust does not fall downward. Degree.
[0213] また、排出口 53の下側に排出板 64を備えることで、袋 101で排出口 53を覆つ たときに、排出板 64が袋 101の内部に入り込み、排出動作時に乾燥ゴミ粉が袋 101 に入らず外部に散乱することを防 、で 、る。  [0213] In addition, by providing the discharge plate 64 below the discharge port 53, when the discharge port 53 is covered with the bag 101, the discharge plate 64 enters the inside of the bag 101, and when the discharging operation is performed, the dry dust powder is removed. Is prevented from entering the bag 101 and being scattered outside.
[0214] システムコントローラ 92は、回転翼 44を原点位置力もゴミ排出位置まで回転さ せると、モータ 67を逆転させ、図 31に示すように、回転翼 44を矢印 d方向に所定量 回転させる。システムコントローラ 92は、図 32に示すように回転翼 44の回転量が原 点位置を越えた所定位置で停止するように、例えば駆動時間を制御することで、回 転翼 44の回転量を制御する。なお、この停止位置を戻り位置と称す。  [0214] When the rotary blade 44 is also rotated to the dust discharging position by rotating the rotary blade 44 to the dust discharge position, the system controller 92 reverses the motor 67, and rotates the rotary blade 44 in the direction of arrow d by a predetermined amount as shown in FIG. The system controller 92 controls the rotation amount of the rotating blade 44 by, for example, controlling the driving time so that the rotating amount of the rotating blade 44 stops at a predetermined position beyond the home position as shown in FIG. I do. This stop position is referred to as a return position.
[0215] そして、システムコントローラ 92は、ゴミ排出位置力 戻り位置までの往復動作を 複数回行った後、回転翼 44を原点位置で停止させ、ゴミ排出動作が終了したことを、 ブザーやランプ等でユーザに通知する(ステップ B8)。  [0215] Then, after performing the reciprocating operation to the dust return position force return position a plurality of times, the system controller 92 stops the rotor 44 at the origin position, and reports that the dust discharge operation has been completed to a buzzer, a lamp, or the like. To notify the user (step B8).
[0216] このように、回転翼 44をゴミ排出位置力 戻り位置まで往復動作を行うことで、 処理容器 42の底部に溜まった乾燥ゴミ粉を集めて、排出口 53から確実に排出する ことができる。なお、回転翼 44の往復動作としては、約 90度位の間とする。  [0216] As described above, the reciprocating operation of the rotary wing 44 to the return position of the dust discharging position allows the collected dry dust powder collected at the bottom of the processing container 42 to be reliably discharged from the discharge port 53. it can. Note that the reciprocating operation of the rotary wing 44 is between about 90 degrees.
[0217] 上述したように、回転翼 44のゴミ排出位置を、翼部 46の先端が排出口 53の下 端を越えない位置とすることで、回転翼 44の戻り動作時の安全性を確保する。また、 ゴミ排出位置では、回転翼 44のスリットの向きが水平以上とならないようにする。  [0217] As described above, the dust discharge position of the rotor 44 is set so that the tip of the wing portion 46 does not exceed the lower end of the outlet 53, thereby ensuring the safety of the return operation of the rotor 44. I do. At the refuse discharge position, the orientation of the slit of the rotor 44 should not be higher than horizontal.
[0218] これは、ゴミ排出モードでは、ファン 69による送風を停止しているので、スリット 4 8からの送風が行われない、このため、スリット 48の角度が水平以上となると、乾燥ゴ ミ粉等がスリット 48から回転翼 44の内部に入り込む可能性がある。従って、ゴミ排出 モードでは、スリット 48が水平以上とならないように、回転翼 44の回転量を制御する。  [0218] This is because, in the dust discharge mode, the ventilation from the fan 69 is stopped, and the ventilation from the slit 48 is not performed. Therefore, when the angle of the slit 48 becomes horizontal or more, the dried dust Etc. may enter the inside of the rotor 44 from the slit 48. Therefore, in the dust discharge mode, the amount of rotation of the rotor 44 is controlled so that the slit 48 does not become horizontal or higher.
[0219] ここで、ゴミ排出位置力 戻り位置までの回転翼の往復動作で、例えばゴミ排出 位置から回転翼 44を矢印 d方向に回転を開始してから、所定時間経過しても原点位 置検出センサ 51aが回転翼 44の通過を検出しない場合は、異物等が詰まって回転 翼 44が回転できなくなつたと判断し、回転翼 44の回転を停止すると共に、ブザーや ランプ等でアラームを発する。  [0219] Here, in the reciprocating operation of the rotary blade to the dust return position force return position, for example, the rotary blade 44 starts rotating in the direction of arrow d from the dust discharge position, and even after a predetermined time elapses, the origin position is maintained. If the detection sensor 51a does not detect the passage of the rotor 44, it is determined that the rotor 44 cannot be rotated due to a foreign object or the like, and the rotation of the rotor 44 is stopped, and an alarm is generated by a buzzer, a lamp, or the like. .
[0220] ゴミ排出動作が終了したことを、ブザーやランプ等で通知されると、ユーザは袋 取付アーム 63を引き出し (ステップ B9)、カバーユニット 58で排出口 53を閉じる。そ して、カバーユニット 58の操作レバー 60を操作して、プレート 60aをガイドリブ 54の係 止穴 57に嵌める(ステップ B 10)。 [0220] When a buzzer, a lamp, or the like is notified that the dust discharging operation has been completed, the user is notified of the bag. Pull out the mounting arm 63 (step B9) and close the outlet 53 with the cover unit 58. Then, the operating lever 60 of the cover unit 58 is operated to fit the plate 60a into the engaging hole 57 of the guide rib 54 (Step B10).
[0221] ここで、カバーユニット 58の操作レバー 60が操作され、プレート 60aがガイドリブ[0221] Here, the operation lever 60 of the cover unit 58 is operated, and the plate 60a is moved to the guide rib.
54の係止穴 57に嵌ると、排出口開閉検出センサ 61の出力力もシステムコントローラWhen fitted in the locking hole 57 of 54, the output force of the outlet opening / closing detection sensor 61 also
92はカバーユニット 58のロックを検出する。 92 detects lock of the cover unit 58.
[0222] ユーザは、更に袋取付アーム 63から乾燥ゴミ粉の入った袋を外し、廃棄する。 [0222] The user further removes the bag containing the dried dust from the bag mounting arm 63 and discards it.
そして、袋取付アーム 63を基に戻す。最後に、カバー 41の前面パネル 41aを閉じる( ステップ Bl l)。  Then, the bag mounting arm 63 is returned. Finally, the front panel 41a of the cover 41 is closed (step Bl l).
[0223] カバー 41の前面パネル 41aが閉じたことを、パネル開閉検出センサ 93の出力 から検出すると、システムコントローラ 92は、排出口開閉検出センサ 61の出力力も力 バーユニット 58のロックを検出していれば、上述した生ゴミ投入動作の待機状態とな る。なお、カバー 41の前面パネル 41aが閉じたことを検出した力 カバーユニット 58 のロックを検出していない場合は、システムコントローラ 92は、ブザーやランプ等でァ ラームを発する。  [0223] When the closing of the front panel 41a of the cover 41 is detected from the output of the panel opening / closing detection sensor 93, the system controller 92 detects that the output bar of the outlet opening / closing detection sensor 61 has locked the power bar unit 58. If this is the case, a standby state for the above-mentioned garbage input operation is established. When the lock of the cover unit 58 is not detected when the front panel 41a of the cover 41 is closed, the system controller 92 issues an alarm with a buzzer, a lamp, or the like.
[0224] ここで、以上の排出動作例では、カバーユニット 58を開けてから、操作ボタンを 操作する手順としたが、操作ボタンを操作してから、カバーユニット 58を開ける手順 でもよい。この場合は、操作ボタンが操作され、排出口開閉検出センサ 61の出力か らロックの解除を検出してから、実際にカバーユニット 58が開けられるまでの時間を 勘案して、所定のタイムラグの後に、上述したゴミ排出モードによる回転翼 44の回転 動作を実行する。  [0224] Here, in the above-described discharge operation example, the procedure of operating the operation button after opening the cover unit 58 is described. However, the procedure of opening the cover unit 58 after operating the operation button may be performed. In this case, after considering the time from when the operation button is operated to detect the release of the lock from the output of the outlet opening / closing detection sensor 61 to when the cover unit 58 is actually opened, after a predetermined time lag, Then, the rotating operation of the rotary blade 44 in the above-described dust discharge mode is executed.
[0225] なお、図示しないが、処理容器 42の下部に形成される空間に、引き出し可能な トレーを備えることで、排出動作時にこぼれた乾燥ゴミ粉のカバー 41内への落下を防 ぐことができる。  [0225] Although not shown, by providing a drawable tray in the space formed below the processing container 42, it is possible to prevent the dried dust powder spilled during the discharging operation from falling into the cover 41. it can.
[0226] さて、図 1に示す投入開口部 9から誤ってフォーク等の異物が投入された場合、 底蓋 22より排出口 53の開口面積の方が大きいので、処理容器 42内の落下した異物 であれば、上述した排出動作で排出口 53から排出することができる。  [0226] If foreign matter such as a fork is erroneously input from the input opening 9 shown in Fig. 1, since the opening area of the discharge port 53 is larger than that of the bottom lid 22, the foreign substance dropped in the processing container 42 Then, it is possible to discharge from the discharge port 53 by the above-described discharging operation.
[0227] く処理容器内のゴミ量検出〉 理容器 42内のゴミ量が増えてくると、処理能力が低下する。このため、処理容 器内のゴミ量を検出して、ゴミ量が多い場合は、上述した排出動作を促す。 [0227] Detection of the amount of dust in the processing container> As the amount of refuse in the processing container 42 increases, the processing capacity decreases. Therefore, the amount of dust in the processing container is detected, and when the amount of dust is large, the above-described discharging operation is prompted.
[0228] 図 33 (a)および図 33 (b)にゴミ量検出の構成および動作を示す。満タン検出セ ンサ 88は、処理容器 42の側部の所定の高さに備えられ、回転翼 44の動作で生ゴミ 等によりフィン 89が押し上げられると、フィン 89に備えたマグネット 89aを検出する。  FIG. 33 (a) and FIG. 33 (b) show the configuration and operation of dust detection. A full tank detection sensor 88 is provided at a predetermined height on the side of the processing container 42, and detects the magnet 89a provided on the fin 89 when the fin 89 is pushed up by garbage or the like by the operation of the rotary wing 44. .
[0229] 図 33 (b)に示すように、ゴミ量が多い場合、攪拌 ·乾燥動作でファン 44を矢印 c 方向に回転させると、フィン 89を生ゴミが通過するまで、満タン検出センサ 88がオン となるため、満タン検出センサ 88のオン時間が長くなる。  [0229] As shown in Fig. 33 (b), when the amount of dust is large, when the fan 44 is rotated in the direction of arrow c during the stirring / drying operation, a full tank detection sensor 88 is output until the garbage passes through the fins 89. Is turned on, the ON time of the full tank detection sensor 88 becomes longer.
[0230] これにより、満タン検出センサ 88のオン時間が所定時間を超えると、システムコ ントローラ 92は、処理容器 42内のゴミ量が規定量を超えたと判断する。なお、具体的 な一例として、 30分程度の一定時間の間の満タン検出センサ 88のオン時間の総時 間を検出し、満タン検出センサ 88のオン時間の総時間が 10分程度になると、ブザー やランプなどでアラームを発して排出動作の実行を促す。また、上述した投入動作を 行わないようにする。更に、生ゴミを追加投入可能な状態でアラームを発しても良い。  [0230] As a result, when the ON time of the full tank detection sensor 88 exceeds the predetermined time, the system controller 92 determines that the amount of dust in the processing container 42 has exceeded the specified amount. As a specific example, assuming that the total ON time of the full tank detection sensor 88 during a fixed time of about 30 minutes is detected, and the total ON time of the full tank detection sensor 88 becomes about 10 minutes. An alarm is generated with a buzzer, lamp, etc. to urge the operator to perform the discharge operation. Also, do not perform the above-mentioned closing operation. Further, an alarm may be issued in a state where additional garbage can be added.
[0231] <ファンによる風量制御 >  [0231] <Air volume control by fan>
上述したように、処理容器 42内のゴミ量が満タンになると、排出動作の実行を促 す力 ゴミ量の増加に伴い、回転翼 44で力き上げるゴミ量が増加すると、ファン 69の 圧力損失が増加する。また、配管内等に汚れが付着することでも圧力損失が増加す る。通常、圧力損失が増加すると、ファン 69の回転数が増加する。このため、ファン 6 9の回転数を検出し、図 34に示すテーブル等を参照して、一定風量を保持できるよう にファン 69の回転数を制御する。  As described above, when the amount of debris in the processing container 42 is full, the force that prompts the execution of the discharging operation is increased. Loss increases. In addition, the pressure loss increases due to dirt adhering to the piping and the like. Normally, as the pressure loss increases, the rotation speed of the fan 69 increases. For this reason, the rotation speed of the fan 69 is detected, and the rotation speed of the fan 69 is controlled with reference to a table or the like shown in FIG.
[0232] 例えば、テーブルで指示された風量と現在の印加電圧から、指示された風量で ファン 69を駆動するための回転数を選択した後、選択した回転数と実際の回転数を 比較し、回転数が同一となるように印加電圧を制御する。  [0232] For example, after selecting the number of revolutions for driving the fan 69 at the indicated amount of air from the amount of air indicated on the table and the current applied voltage, the selected number of revolutions is compared with the actual number of revolutions, The applied voltage is controlled so that the number of rotations is the same.
[0233] <生ゴミ処理装置の設置 >  <Installation of Garbage Disposal Equipment>
生ゴミ処理装置 1は、カバー 41の内部に、上述したように処理容器 42及びその 周辺機器が取り付けられて、装置本体を構成する。また、処理容器 42には生ゴミ投 入装置 3を構成する下部ユニット 6が取り付けられる。そして、カバー 41は、上面から 下部ユニット 6の投入筒部 21と、駆動シャフト 35が露出する形態である。 In the garbage processing apparatus 1, the processing container 42 and its peripheral devices are attached to the inside of the cover 41 as described above, and constitute an apparatus main body. Further, the lower unit 6 constituting the garbage injecting device 3 is attached to the processing container 42. And the cover 41 is This is a mode in which the charging cylinder 21 of the lower unit 6 and the drive shaft 35 are exposed.
[0234] 生ゴミ処理装置 1を設置するには、図 35に示すように、まず、シンク 2の下の所 定の位置に、下部ユニット 6を含む装置本体を取り付ける。 [0234] To install the garbage disposal apparatus 1, first, the apparatus main body including the lower unit 6 is attached to a predetermined position below the sink 2, as shown in Fig. 35.
[0235] 次に、上部ユニット 5をシンク 2の開口部に上側力も嵌める。このとき、図 2に示 すように、上部ユニット 5の投入開口部 9と、下部ユニット 6の投入筒部 21の接続部 24 が嵌るようにする。ここで、接続部 24において、投入筒部 21と投入開口部 9が嵌る部 位の挿入部長はゆとりを持たせてあり、最低限必要な重ねしろが目視で判るように、 目盛りを表示してある。これにより、防水が必要な投入開口部 9と投入筒部 21が確実 に接続されたことを施工時に容易かつ確実に判断できる。 Next, the upper unit 5 is also fitted to the opening of the sink 2 with an upward force. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the insertion opening 9 of the upper unit 5 and the connecting portion 24 of the injection cylinder 21 of the lower unit 6 are fitted. Here, in the connecting part 24, the insertion part length at the position where the charging cylinder part 21 and the charging opening part 9 are fitted has a margin, and a scale is displayed so that a minimum necessary overlapping margin can be visually recognized. is there. Thereby, it is possible to easily and reliably determine at the time of construction that the charging opening 9 and the charging cylinder 21 that require waterproofing are securely connected.
[0236] また、下部ユニット 6側の駆動シャフト 35の先端力 上部ユニット 5のシャフト支 持部 15に嵌るようにする。駆動シャフト 35の先端を、上部ユニット 5のシャフト支持部 15に嵌めると、第 1のロックカム 33がリンク 14のカム当接面 14bと接触可能な位置関 係となる。 [0236] The tip force of the drive shaft 35 on the lower unit 6 side is fitted to the shaft support 15 of the upper unit 5. When the tip of the drive shaft 35 is fitted to the shaft support 15 of the upper unit 5, the first lock cam 33 is in a positional relationship where the first lock cam 33 can contact the cam contact surface 14b of the link 14.
[0237] 上述したように、リンク 14のカム当接面 14bは、上下方向に幅を持たせてある。  [0237] As described above, the cam contact surface 14b of the link 14 has a width in the up-down direction.
同様に、駆動シャフト 35の先端とシャフト支持部 15の接触範囲も、上下方向に幅を 持たせてある。  Similarly, the contact range between the tip of the drive shaft 35 and the shaft support 15 has a width in the vertical direction.
[0238] このため、設置されるシンク 2による上下方向の寸法の違いを、接続部 24と、力 ム当接面 14bおよびシャフト支持部 15の寸法で吸収するため、装置本体の高さ方向 の微調整が不要である。そして、上部ユニット 5に図示しない固定リングをねじ込む方 式とで、上部ユニット 5はシンク 2に固定される。なお、上部ユニット 5の取付固定は、 既存技術によりシンクに合わせて適宜選択可能である。  [0238] Therefore, the difference in the vertical dimension due to the installed sink 2 is absorbed by the dimensions of the connection part 24, the force contact surface 14b, and the shaft support part 15, so that the height of the apparatus body in the height direction is reduced. No fine adjustment is required. Then, the upper unit 5 is fixed to the sink 2 by screwing a fixing ring (not shown) into the upper unit 5. The mounting and fixing of the upper unit 5 can be appropriately selected according to the sink using existing technology.
