Embodiment

With reference to figure 1, the figure shows the device 10 of composting, it has the container 12 that is formed by a plurality of

sections

12a, 12b and 12c.As from can finding out the following description, can use arbitrarily hop count, can add as required the size that some sections add large container.But, usually such as will be described in detail, at least should be with two sections devices that form composting.

These sections usually have cylindrical structural and limit peripheral wall.These sections are stacked to one and are placed on another, and to form container, sheath 14 can slide that these sections are kept together in assembled section.Perhaps, these sections can comprise such as the interlocking portions at the small embossment 15 at the place, bottom of the wall of each section and so on, in the sunk part 17 of the correspondingly-shaped of their registrations in the top of each wall of this section.

Base portion 20 is arranged in container 10 and is supported on the nethermost section 12a.If use interlocking

portions

15 and 17, base portion 20 can have opening, and projection 15 can be stretched out by these openings, to be positioned in their sunk parts 17 separately.Base portion 20 has upper shed 22 and peripheral lower wall 24.Periphery lower wall 24 has upper wall section 25 and the bowl-shape wall section 26 of reclinate annular of accepting section 12b.The bowl-shape wall section 26 of annular defines opening 28, and leach liquor chamber 29 is positioned under wall 24 split sheds 28.Leach liquor chamber 29 has cone-shaped wall 30, and this wall is the continuity of crooked bowl-shape wall 26, and leach liquor chamber 29 is finished by lower diapire 31.Lower diapire 31 can have the part 33 of stretching out downwards, and this part is positioned at the sunk part of stake 34, to help to support leach liquor chamber 29 and base portion 20.Stake 34 bottom can have block 35 so that with ground supporting pile 34 in contact.

At leach liquor chamber 29 discharge closure 36 is set, this cover has a plurality of openings 37, so that leach liquor can flow out and flow into leach liquor chamber 29 by the material of composting.Leach liquor chamber 29 has delivery channel 37, and the opening 38 in the peripheral wall of this conduit section of passing 12a is in the vessel 39 of leach liquor being collected container 10 outsides, as required used as fertilizer etc. or abandon.

It can be the drainage medium 40 of cobble and so on that base portion 9 receives, so that when the waste material of composting placed container, this waste material is supported on the medium 40 by base portion 9.So the leach liquor that forms when the material aerobic decomposes can flow through hole 36 by medium 40 and flow in the chamber 29.

As previously mentioned, section 12b is identical with section 12a.But, in this case, conduit 42 and 43 combinations of T shape coupling member of the opening 38 among the section of the passing 12b.Member 43 received blocks fall within on the discharge closure 10 stake 44 with supporting tube 42 and connecting parts 43.Aerator 46 is positioned at the top of connecting parts 43, and being used for provides air in container, decomposes with the aerobic that promotes the material in the container.Aerator 46 has at least one opening 47, most preferably, has a plurality of openings.Connecting parts 43 provides from conduit 42 to aerator 46 passage, to provide from the outside of container by conduit 42 and connecting parts 43 air flowing access to aerator 46.

The aerator 46 of present embodiment is catheter-like, incompressible block 49 is located on the aerator 46, around aerator 46, this compacting may stop gas to flow out and therefore hinder that the suitable aerobic of surplus material decomposes in the container from opening 47 with the material compaction that prevents composting.Block 49 roughly can be the plate-like block, and it has sunk part 51, and the top that forms the conduit of aerator 46 is housed inside in this sunk part.Therefore, block 49 neighborings with the peripheral outer that is positioned in aerator 46, the compost compacting on every side of aerator 46 in the time of can preventing from forming compost like this guarantees that air can flow out to promote that by the material in the container suitable aerobic decomposes from aerator 46.

Conduit 42 can have the outlet 52 that is positioned at conduit 42 downsides.This is normally in the zone that impaction state reduces relatively, therefore air can be from the hole 52 enters container, and below conduit 42, disperse, downwards by filter the medium 40 of spares (back up) by means of the material (in Fig. 1, totally representing with reference number C) of composting.

Base portion 20 is the interior zone above the base portion of bottom air volume 58 beginnings of seal section 12a effectively, causes all air that enter in the container all to flow through aerator 46.Because conduit 38 is above local horizon top, so it is in the slightly warm zone, if it just in time is positioned at the base portion place of container, this will help the aerobic under cold especially weather to decompose.

When the container that is formed by

section

The position of water out conduit 247 that is in base portion 242 tops of basin 240 can make settling be deposited in the basin, in order to produce the more water of cleaning from exporting 247.If necessary, the waste water (run-off water) that flows out from delivery channel 247 can be filtered again, to remove the pathogenic agent in the water.In unshowned another embodiment, can in basin 240, establish a part as the storage area of cleaning water, between the other parts of this zone and basin, strainer can be set, so that liquid filters entering this zone liquid when flowing through strainer from the other parts of basin.

At last, the hole that arranges in substrate 26 can make gas rise, therefore the composting material in the container can play biofilter, to prevent the stink from the liquid storage district, because composting material has the cleaning effect to the gas that rises and by means of the compost in the container gas cleaned.

In some unshowned alternative embodiment, in composting device, the leach liquor chamber can be set.In this embodiment, can save simply the bottom 242 of basin 240, so that peripheral wall 241 simple twelve Earthly Branches are on ground, leach liquor directly is discharged on the ground by the chamber 29 with open bottom.

The lid of embodiment shown in Figure 8 can be traditional lid of not collecting phlegma.So, can save simplifiedly hole 280, whole lid is formed by lagging material.In another embodiment (not shown), thermofin 281 can be set at the basal surface of wall 282.In an embodiment again, can be only at the basal surface of upper surface 285 insulation material layer be set, certainly in such an embodiment, the amount of phlegma can be seldom, because the chambers that cover in 60 can be warmer.

Although in these preferred embodiments, the present invention who has described has the peripheral wall that forms by three sections, these walls also can by two or multistage form, and each the section can be formed by two or more wall section, with consist of each section.

Hereinafter with reference Fig. 9 to 11 describes an again embodiment of the present invention.Embodiment shown in Figure 10 to 12 can adopt previously described any structure, but optimal be the device of the composting of square or rectangular profile shown in Figure 8.Similarly Reference numeral represents and similar parts shown in Figure 8.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 9 to 11, nethermost section 12a is provided with rectangular aperture 300.Rectangular aperture 300 is by plug 302 sealings.As previously described in the embodiment, air lead 243 is positioned at basin 240.But in the present embodiment, conduit 243 has directly the U-shaped turn of bilge 243a with 44 combinations of inflation organ pipe, directly leading to aerator 44, does not only enter in the basin 240 as described in the embodiment of front and do not resemble.The shape of the wall 26 of the basin 240 shown in Figure 11 also embodiment from the front is different.

As can clearly be seen that among Figure 10 and Figure 11, plug 302 has anterior 303, this front portion can form one with the other parts of plug 302, but it is preferably formed removable front panel 302, can easily lagging material 304 be positioned over like this in the plug 302.Plug 302 has the chamber 305 that inside is placed with lagging material 304.Chamber 305 is limited by the second wall 311 of front portion 303, diapire 307, inwall 308, upper wall 309, the first wall 310 that tilts and

inclination.Wall

310 and 311 is tapered toward each other, to form the transition portion 312 of fillet.Chamber 305 usually is placed with the first chamber portion 313 of lagging material 304 and is formed air by inside and guides the second chamber portion 315 of chamber to limit.

Lagging material 304 also plays strainer, is used for filtering the air that enters chamber 315 from opening 316.

Anterior 303 have a plurality of holes 316 that the gas inlet opening is provided and at least one lower opening 317 that forms the exit opening of heavy gas and water.

The second inclined wall 311 has a plurality of airout openings 320, and they are used for making air from filling in 302 materials of composting that enter the inside of the peripheral wall that is limited by

epidermis

102 and 112.

Hole 320 is a little more than hole 311 when as can be seen from Figure 11, flatly being supported in this device on the ground.

Also airout hole 327 can be arranged in the aerator 44 a little less than the tight block of resistance to compression 49 parts.

Anterior 303 can be the clip that is assembled on the rest part of plug 300, in order to insulating material 304 is placed on after the appropriate location, anterior 303 can get back to rapidly (snapped back) appropriate location.The end of plug 302 can be provided with the cover plate (one of them represents with 340 at Figure 12) for closed end.

When plug 302 was in the appropriate location, air can flow through hole 316 and enter in the chamber 305.As shown by arrow A, air flows through in the cavity C that enters usually the composting that is limited by section 12a etc. such as the insulating material of the porous material of opening porous foam body (open cell foam) and so on and taphole 320.Be arranged at hole 320 in the lower wall 311 and can prevent that hole 320 from being stopped up by the material of composting and the chamber 315 that stretches in the substance C of the composting in the chamber 301 that is in composting, the inside of the peripheral wall that is limited by section 12a is being provided with airout in the position near the substance C middle part of composting, so that air flows to the substance C of composting, then upwards flow through the material of composting.This can prevent that air from upwards flowing near lower of situation in " chimney " effect slightly peripheral wall between the substance C of sidewall and composting.

The substance C that is pressed in the composting of wall 310 tops also is conducive to the air flow that makes progress and crosses the middle part of substance C of composting rather than mobile along the peripheral wall internal surface that is formed by panel 112, therefore air flows through the substance C of composting, is beneficial to aerobic and decomposes.

Hole 320 means that than the hole 316 high facts lighter-than-air gas also moves through the substance C of composting up, can clean these gases to a certain extent in the biomass of this place's compost, helps to reduce stink.Therefore, can prevent that foul gas is through via hole 316 effusions.

The lagging material 304 of opening cell phone (open cell phone) form can prevent that turbulent flow appears in the air-flow of detent plug 300 inboards, and this can prevent further that lighter gas is by hole 311 effusions.Lagging material 304 can prevent that also insect from entering in the substance C of composting by

hole

316 and 317.

Hole 317 can prevent that carbonic acid gas is stacked into the degree that hinders gas to enter the substance C of composting by hole 320 in the bottom of the chamber 301 of close wall 46.If there is any water to condense in the plug 302, hole 317 also can make water discharge from filling in 300.

When device is formed by a plurality of sections 12a-12c as previously described in the embodiment, until the At The Height of the device of composting can arrange a plurality of plugs 301, each section can arrange a plug 301, therefore when by when the other section of the device increase of composting increases the size of container, can place some plugs 301 on the container.

Plug 301 can use with aerator 44, perhaps replaces aerator 44.Also can increase plug 301 size, especially increase the amount in the material that

wall

311 and 310 stretches into composting, so that hole 320 is positioned at from Wall board 112 desired location inwardly.

Also plug 301 can be taken off from the device of composting as a unit, so that hole 300 can be used as opening, by the material of this opening recovery composting.Then plug 301 can be inserted the appropriate location again, so that the material of the composting that loads again is deposited in the device.

In an alternative embodiment, chamber 305 can separate with chamber 315 by the dividing plate 360 from upper wall 309 to downward-extension.In this embodiment, air from chamber 305 to chamber 315 movement so that air under the lower rim 361 of dividing plate 360, flow.Lower rim 361 is positioned under the horizontal plane in hole 320.If adopt dividing plate 360, wall 310 can be level and simple sequential portion that be wall 309, flows to atmosphere from chamber 315 by opening 316 because dividing plate 360 will prevent lighter-than-air gas.

As shown in figure 11, by upper wall 310 can be comprised that also lower wall 311 is horizontally disposed with rather than is obliquely installed, be more convenient for plug 301 is taken out from opening 300.In the embodiment shown in Figure 10 and 11, need when taking out plug slightly to rotate plug, can shift out

wall

310 and 311 by opening like this.If

wall

310 and 311 is levels, can from opening 300 straight be pulled outwardly plug.

Figure 12 shows another embodiment of the present invention, and wherein similar Reference numeral represents the similar parts that the front was described.In this embodiment, plug 400 is also formed by lagging material piece 410.If necessary, lagging material 410 can have the shroud (surrounding cover does not show) that is made of plastics.The first tipping tube 401 passes piece 410 and has the outer end 405 that mouth is opened.Hole 406 is positioned at the bottom near the inner 407 of pipe 401, causes air can enter in the end 405, flows through pipe 401, then flows out by opening 406.In the bottom that opening 406 is arranged on pipe 401, opening 406 can be not blocked because of the material of the composting in the chamber 301.

Be provided with the second pipe 402 below pipe 401, this pipe is roughly horizontal.Pipe 402 both ends open also provides outlet for the carbonic acid gas that may accumulate in chamber 301

bottoms.Pipe

hole

316 and 320 shown in Figure 11.If necessary, can each fill in arrange in 400 many pipe 401.The opening end of pipe 402 and opening 317 shown in Figure 11 work in the same way.

Figure 13 to 40 shows other embodiment of the present invention.With reference to Figure 13, this figure is the skeleton view of the device 500 of composting.Device 500 has base portion 501,502 and two wall sections 503 of lid and 504.Section 503 is formed with Siping City wall section 508 (also have plug) relative with wall section 507 by three the first side wall sections 505, three the second side wall section 506, planomural section 507 (following with for a more detailed description) with plug of one.Therefore, section 503 is made of four part wall sections 505,506,507 and 508.

Section 504 is formed with other three the flat side wall section 512 relative with wall section 510 by planomural section 509, three side wall section 510, another planomural section 511.Therefore, wall section 504 is formed by four part wall sections 509,510,511 and 512.

Can know from top description and to find out that wall section 503 is become with Plan view pattern by three side panels with wall section 504 that it is staggered with three side panels of section 504 that these panels are configured to three side panels of the section of making 503.Planomural section 509 belows of three side wall section, 505 sections of being positioned at 504 of section 503.Therefore, in

fact section

503 and 504 has relatively rotated 90 ° each other.

Figure 14 is exploded view, and it shows from wall section 503 has removed

wall section

505 and 507 and the device 500 that removed wall section 510 from section 504.

With reference to Figure 14, base portion 501 has peripheral side wall 513 and upper base wall 514.Bar 515 passes base wall 514.Wall 513 has otch 516 and entrance 517.

Aerator conduit 520 is arranged in bar 515 and support and inflation device 521, and as will being described in more detail hereinafter, this aerator has substantially tapered structure.The second aerator conduit 522 is positioned on the aerator 521 and supports another aerator 523 identical with aerator 521.

As shown in figure 15, aerator 521 has substantially tapered peripheral wall 525, and wherein the place, limit is formed with otch 526 in next week.Wall 525 is provided with a plurality of blades 527, and these blades have the outward flange 528 that extends to substantially parallel the top 529a of aerator 521 with conical wall 525.At top 529a place, blade 527 transition are advanced among the groove 531a, and these grooves have the outward flange 530 and the restriction that extend substantially vertically (namely no longer parallel with conical surface 525) and are roughly columniform column 531.Column 531 extends above the top 532 of conical surface 525, and top 532 is by upper wall 533 hermetically closings of flat.

As most clearly illustrating among Figure 16, the internal surface of wall 525 also is provided with the blade 534 with corresponding vein 527 positioned in registration.

528 transit to edge 530 parts and are formed with shoulder 529 at the edge.As can be seen from Figure 15, shoulder 529 is level substantially.

As most clearly finding out among Figure 16, blade 534 has roughly vertical edge 535, and this edge extends to shoulder 538.Another vertical edge 539 is roughly parallel to 535 ground, edge from shoulder 538 and extends upward.Shoulder 538 limits for the supporter that aerator 521 is supported on the aerator conduit 520.

As shown in figure 18, the second aerator conduit 522 is installed on column 531 tops and bears against on the shoulder 529 between the

edge

528 and 530 that is formed on blade 527.

With reference to Figure 19 and 20, these accompanying drawings show base portion 501, and the downside of base wall 514 shown in Figure 20 is provided with a pair of rib 540, and this limits the central channel 541 that extends to bar 515 from entrance 517 to rib.

Leach liquor chamber 545 shown in Figure 21 and 22 is elongated sexangle, and it is formed with outlet 547 and entrance 548.Passage 549 is arranged between entrance 548 and the cylindrical opening 550 of cardinal principle.

As shown in figure 23, the leach liquor chamber is positioned on the base portion 501, so that opening 550 is positioned at the top of part of the bar 515 of wall 514 belows.Outlet 547 is arranged in the otch 516 of the peripheral wall 513 of base portion 501.

Leach liquor chamber 545 is sandwiched on the base portion by the clip (not shown) that is positioned at the hole 545a on the chimb 545b, makes wall 514 form the top of leach liquor chamber 545.

Base portion is provided with the reinforcing section 551 of protrusion, and they have the slit 552 that limits the liquid inlet that passes into leach liquor chamber 545.The downside of base portion also has strengthening rib 553 to have structural integrity.

Therefore, when the material of the composting in the device 500 decomposed, moisture can be discharged in the leach liquor chamber 545 by opening 552, then drains by exporting 547.Outlet 547 can be furnished with tap and hose coupling (not shown), is used for being connected with the flexible pipe (not shown) when required.

Simultaneously, air can enter entrance 517 and flow to bar 515 through between the rib 540, then is upward through bar 515 and aerator conduit 520 enters aerator 521.Air can also enter the opening 550 by passage 549 from base portion 501 belows, then leads to bar 515 and conduit 520.Air flows out from aerator conduit 521 and enters aerator 521, then flows downward between blade 534.The bottom periphery that blade 534 guiding air flow to aerator 521 downwards especially flows to otch 526, then can flow out and upwards flow through the material of composting from aerator 521 at the incision air.

Blade 527 is conducive to air-flow and upwards flows and tightly install as resistance to compression, and to prevent the material of the composting around the compacting aerator 521, this compacting will hinder air upwards mobile.Therefore, it is real on surface 525 that blade 527 can guarantee that the material of composting is not pressed downward, and it shifts out in the material that enters aerator 521 composting on every side to cause air upwards to flow, and make along the side surface 525 between the blade 527.

Some air that upwards flow through along the surface 525 between the blade 527 can flow to conduit 522 by between the groove 531a shown in the arrow of Figure 18 and the bottom of conduit 522.That is to say that because conduit 522 is located on the shoulders 529, the bottom conduit is towards the space opening between the blade 527, like this, the air opening between the groove 531a of can upwards flowing through.

Therefore, as shown in figure 18, the air conduit 520 of upwards flowing through as shown by arrow A, skim over the top of conduit 520, in the internal chamber 680 that arrival is provided by wall 525, internal surface along aerator 521 is downward, as shown by arrow B, then the outside surface along aerator 521 makes progress between blade 527, (locating some air at this can shift out and enter in the material of composting) then enters conduit 522 at shoulder 529 places, as shown by arrow D between groove 531a as shown by arrow C, upwards process conduit 522 is to aerator 523, as shown by arrow E.Blade 527 on the aerator 523 works again to prevent that the material around the aerator 523 is compacted, and this compacting will hinder the air-flow that flows out from aerator 523 and flow into the material of composting.

Figure 24 to 29 shows wall section 509 and 511.As can finding out from top description, each wall section has identical structure.The wall section is provided with exterior skin 550 and entocuticle 551.Can find out most clearly that from Figure 25 entocuticle 551 is provided with inwardly outstanding rib 552.Epidermis 551 is disk-shaped design and carrying heat insulation 553 roughly.Epidermis 551 has upper flange 554, and this flange has for the boss 555 that receives the pin 528 on the entocuticle 551.Pin 528 roughly is flexible, so they can be clipped in the boss 555, so that

epidermis

551 and 550 is locked together.As shown in figure 29, the structure of epidermis 551 is also roughly disk-shaped, and it comprises for the boss 560 that receives the pin 561 on the epidermis 551.The view of Figure 28 shows the epidermis 550 that does not have insulation blanket 553.

Outstanding rib 552 can prevent in the space that material that air-flow directly flows up into composting along the internal surface of district's wall section forms when device 500 interior the contraction.Rib 552 bootable air-flows are set to be left the inside circumference of the internal surface of wall section and surrounding wall section and enters in the material of composting.
