DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a garbage processing apparatus for converting garbage discharged from each household into a useful fertilizer using worms (hereinafter simply referred to as earthworms).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, garbage from households in urban areas is collected by local governments in many cases, so that the garbage is not effectively used. Also,
In some cases, garbage is decomposed by using microorganisms such as enzymes, and the decomposed product is used as fertilizer in home gardens and the like.

As a device for decomposing garbage using microorganisms such as enzymes, the internal temperature is maintained at a relatively high temperature, and the garbage introduced inside is stirred using a motor or the like. That has been done.

[0004]

However, although the garbage from each household can be recycled as a useful fertilizer depending on the treatment, the garbage collected by the local government as described above is almost incinerated. This wastes the blessings of nature and emits carbon dioxide or nitrogen gas by incineration, which in turn leads to pollution of the natural environment.

Further, when the above-mentioned decomposition apparatus is used, since a motor for keeping the temperature of the apparatus itself and stirring is used, electricity is required, the apparatus itself becomes expensive, and the installation of the apparatus is not limited. Electrical equipment (outlets,
Cords, etc.) are required, and an extra electricity bill is required, resulting in a large economical load.

Therefore, in the conventional processing of garbage,
There is a problem to be solved in preventing pollution of the natural environment due to incineration, and in resolving a heavy burden in the decomposition treatment.

Is fitted with a resin mesh material.

The roof member 2 is attached to the rear side via a hinge member (hinge or the like) so that the front end can be lifted and opened and closed so that the upper surface of the box body 1 can be covered. is there. The configuration is such that a plurality of wooden boards are arranged in an adjacent state and fixed to a pair of crosspiece members 10 on the inner side, and the crosspiece member 10 has an elongated delta shape as viewed from the side. It has a gentle slope on the front side as a roof.

In this case, the lid member 2 can be easily separated from the box body 1 by using a hinge type one in which a lot is inserted from one side. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the side end surfaces of the adjacent plate members 2a for the roof are brought into abutting state by a chipping process 2b.
By allowing the rain falling on the roof member 2 to flow in the direction indicated by the arrow b, rainwater does not enter the interior. In addition, reference numeral 11 denotes a handle for opening and closing.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the bottom member 3 attached to the bottom of the box body 1 is a so-called hopper member 12, which is press-formed from a metal plate such as stainless steel.
An outlet 14 covered with a lid member 13 is formed on the front side of the hopper member 12. The lid member 13 is provided with a number of small holes 13 a and a handle portion 15. The guide portions 14 a, 14 b provided on both sides of the take-out opening 14 by gripping the handle portion 15 and taking out the lid member 13.

The attached state can be fixed to a stable state by, for example, a wing bolt 18 or the like. In the drawings, reference numeral 19 denotes a latch, and reference numeral 20 denotes a hook on which the latch 19 is locked. In any case, the garbage disposal apparatus according to the present invention can be roughly divided into the box body 1, the roof member 2, and the legs 3, and the whole can be put together in a small size during transportation and transportation. It is.

The state of use of the garbage disposal apparatus of the present invention constructed as described above will be described below. The living garbage disposal apparatus is usually installed outdoors and used, and a living bed 21 made of earthworm dung is used therein.
Is formed, and the garbage 22 is put thereon. In this case, the height (thickness) of the living bed 21 is about 20 cm, and the input amount of the garbage 22 is at most about 5 cm.

The reason why earthworm dung is used as the living bed 21 is to efficiently treat garbage and to extract high-quality liquid fertilizer. In other words, if organic matter such as compost or humus is used as a living bed, earthworms eat the compost or humus before the garbage that is thrown in, so that the garbage placed on the surface will hurt and produce a bad smell This is because it is not preferable because fly flies are generated. In addition, living bed 2
When field soil is used as 1, the effect as a liquid fertilizer is greatly reduced.

The garbage thrown in is eaten by the earthworms 23 and is sequentially deposited as feces, and the height of the living bed 21 rises little by little. Earthworm dung, which ate organic matter, becomes inorganic and its nutrients are water-soluble. When water is applied to the living bed 21, water soaks into the earthworm dung and the nutrients dissolve in the water and gradually flow down. The liquid fertilizer passes through the punched metal plate 16 and accumulates in the lower chamber of the hopper member 12 as liquid fertilizer. The liquid fertilizer can be removed by opening the stopper member 17.

When the earthworm dung is taken out as fertilizer, or when the amount of the accumulated earthworm dung becomes too large, the lid member 13 provided on the front side of the hopper member 12 is pulled up to open the take-out port 14, The outlet 14
Then, a suitable amount of jig is used to scrape out a required amount of earthworm droppings located on the punched metal plate 16 at the lower side. Normally, earthworms are often located at a depth of about 10 cm in the living bed 21, so leaving about 20 cm as the living bed 21 and taking out the lower part thereof does not significantly affect the life of the earthworm. .

In order to check the state of earthworm inhabitation and the state of disposal of garbage, a transparent resin plate can be opened by opening the door member 8 from the front side without opening the roof member 2 and looking inside. The situation inside can be observed through 7, so that, for example, if the water seems to be insufficient, it is sufficient to supply the water enough to wet the whole.

FIG. 6 is a graph showing detection results of earthworm dung having eaten garbage, a liquid fertilizer taken out from the dung, earthworm dung not giving garbage, a commercially available park compost, and the component concentration of the field soil. It is shown in As is clear from this graph, it can be understood that earthworm dung provided with garbage contains more components and is excellent as a fertilizer.

In any case, the garbage disposal apparatus according to the present invention can reduce garbage to useful fertilizer in a natural state by utilizing earthworm's ecology without requiring extra energy. It is excellent in that it does not adversely affect the natural environment.
