Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the degree of freedom for installing a garbage disposal device compared to a conventional device using a mechanical transport means by connecting a garbage supply port located at the lower part of a storage container incorporating a crushing means to a processing part on the outdoor side of the device through a transport passage, and connecting an air supply means to the transport passage through an ejector. SOLUTION: If garbage is dumped into a storage container 8 provided on the sink 6 of a kitchen, then a lid 7 is closed and an operating switch 25 is turned ON, a crushing means 9 is rotated by a rotating means 10, so that the garbage is crushed. Next, if the crushing step is completed, the rotating means 10 is stopped to actuate an air supply means 16 and the air is injected into a transport passage 13 from an ejector part 14 through an air passage 15. In this case, if a means 12 for opening the transport passage 13 is opened, the crushed garbage is sucked into the transport passage 13 from a garbage supply port 11 by the air injected from the ejector part 14, and then is sent to a processing part 18. Further, an aerobic bacterium is proliferated in a microbe carrier 20 when the garbage is uniformly mixed and stirred in the microbe carrier 20 with a stirring blade 21 and the air supplied by an air blowing fan 23. Thus, the garbage is decomposed.

できる。2. Description of the Related Art Waste disposal has become a major social issue, and general consumers have become more aware of waste. Among household waste, bottles, paper, and plastic containers are treated as a social mechanism in the direction of recycling. Most of the garbage is collected and incinerated at regular intervals, but especially in the cities, the capacity of the treatment plant is limited, which is a serious problem for municipalities. With such a social background and growing awareness of the environment, there has been an active movement to self-process and recycle food waste. Conventionally, a device for decomposing and composting microorganisms by leaving microorganisms left in a container for a long time like a composting device is generally well known, but recently, as seen in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-34784. In addition, there has been proposed a food waste treatment device which implants microorganisms on a microbial carrier and decomposes them at high speed. As shown in FIG. 8, this type of food waste treatment apparatus supplies air by a fan 4 while stirring the sawdust 2 filled in the fermentation decomposition tank 1 with a stirring blade 3, and the microorganisms grown on the sawdust 2 produce raw food. It decomposes garbage. In addition, the treated sawdust 2 can be used as a compost in a home garden or the like.

を得ない。However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, every time the garbage is processed, the garbage has to be transported to the garbage processing device installed outdoors, which causes troubles such as transportation and dripping. There was a problem in terms of usability due to discomfort. On the other hand, there is one that grinds garbage generated from the viewpoint of convenience with a crushing device attached to the drainage port of the kitchen sink and discharges it together with the kitchen drainage. From the point of view, it is becoming socially unacceptable. There is also a method in which after crushing at the drain port, the liquid and solid are separated, and only the solid is transported by a mechanical transport means such as a spiral disc shape and processed separately, but once the finely crushed food waste is solidified. Even if the liquid is separated, a large amount of organic components are contained, and the BOD load becomes considerably high. In addition, the structure is complicated and the entire device must be expensive.

First, the crushing means 9 is rotated by the rotating means 10 to crush the food waste. The crushing means 9 does not need to be finely crushed, and may be finely sized so that it can pass through the transport path 13. When the crushing is completed, the rotating means 10 is stopped and the air supply means 16 is started. The air pressure-fed by the air supply means 16 passes from the ejector unit 14 through the air passage 15 to the transport path 1.
It is jetted out in 3. At this time, when the transport path opening / closing means 12 is opened, the food waste crushed by the air ejected from the ejector unit 14 is sucked into the transport path 13 from the garbage supply port 11. A communication hole 27 that communicates with the outside is provided in the upper end portion of the storage container 8, and the air passes through the communication container 27 from the inside of the storage container 8 and through the garbage supply port 11 to the ejector unit 1.
4 Therefore, the food waste is also sent to the ejector unit 14 via the garbage supply port 11 by this air flow. The food waste sucked by the ejector unit 14 is sent to the processing unit 18 via the transport path 13 while being pumped by air. The food waste sent to the processing unit 18 is uniformly mixed and stirred in the microbial carrier 20 by the stirring blade 21, and the air supplied by the blower fan 23 causes aerobic bacteria to grow on the microbial carrier 20 to decompose the food waste. To do. After the transportation of the garbage is completed, the air supply means 16 is stopped and the transportation path opening / closing means 12 is closed. In the present embodiment, the processing unit 18 is shown to be a microbial decomposition system, but it may be a system such as drying or incineration.

It is possible to alleviate discomfort such as dripping and the like. Further, since the food waste is processed by the processing unit 18 instead of being discharged to the drain port, it is not necessary to pulverize the food waste, and the crushing means 9 may have a simple structure. Further, since the garbage is transported by air, the structure is simple and the degree of freedom in installation is increased as compared with a mechanical transport means. Further, since raw garbage is not supplied into the conveying path 13 during the crushing, large garbage that is not sufficiently crushed does not enter the conveying path 13 and block the conveying path 13.

Explaining only the points different from the embodiment of FIG. 1, 28 is an air supply port provided in the storage container 8 and supplies air to the upstream side. Air passage opening / closing means 29 for opening / closing the mouth 28 is provided. The air supply means 16 is connected to the air passage opening / closing means 29. When the food waste is crushed in the storage container 8, the air passage opening / closing means 29 opens and the air supply means 16 operates to supply high-pressure air from the air supply port 28 to the storage container 8. The air passage opening / closing means 29 is closed when food waste is crushed in the storage container 8 or stopped.
It prevents scattering of garbage and backflow of odor to the air supply means 16. Further, in the embodiment of FIG. 2, the communication hole 27 shown in FIG.
Is not provided, and the structure is hermetically sealed except for the air supply port 28 and the garbage supply port 11. At the same time that the air supply means 16 is activated, the conveyance path opening / closing means 12 of the garbage supply port 11 is opened to convey the food waste from the garbage supply port 11 into the conveyance path 13 by the high-pressure air, and to connect it to the outside. The waste is supplied to the section 18 and processed.
