Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

The present invention relates to a fermenter in which an organic substance is fermented for a short period of time by using aerobic bacteria, and the substance which has been fermented to form cell blocks can be easily discharged.

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the technical field of fermenting organic substances, and relates to a technique of fermenting an organic substance for a very short period of time and easily discharging a product obtained by fermenting and blocking cells.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, in order to ferment organic matter,
It is simply deposited and agitated to wait for it to ferment almost naturally, but this makes it impossible to use the space in three dimensions, requires a long period of time, and is not efficient. Also,
Although air is sent in, this causes uneven fermentation and does not uniformly ferment. It is inconvenient because it gives off a bad odor during stirring.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and is intended to provide a three-dimensional, stirring-free fermentation environment and to perform fermentation treatment in a short period of time.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

According to the present invention, there is provided a device having a rectangular tubular outer frame having an open upper and lower portion, and a plurality of partition plates hanging in the outer frame and having variable intervals at the whole or at the bottom and having ventilation. Use it and ferment for a very short time,
In addition, the land is effectively used by stacking it in three dimensions. Further, it is provided with a plurality of partition plates with variable intervals so that the product of the bacterial cell block after fermentation can be easily discharged.

[Example 1]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, (1) is a fermenter main body of the present invention, and the main body (1) of the iron plate assembly is a rectangular tubular outer frame (2) having a volume of about 3 cubic meters and an open upper and lower, and this rectangular tubular outer frame. It is composed of a plurality of partition plates (3) suspended in (2) so that it can swing, and the main body (1) is placed on the Tokiwa (4). On one side surface (8) of the rectangular tubular outer frame (2) parallel to the partition plate (3), a pad (9) for supporting the deflection of the partition plate (3) on the one side surface (8) side. And set up. Next, the pad (9) will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The pad (9) is provided with support pieces (10) (11) on both sides provided outside one side surface (8). It is composed of an L-shaped contact rod (12) rotatably attached to a shaft, and one end of the L-shaped contact rod (12) is an opening provided on one side surface (8) of the rectangular cylindrical outer frame (2). Looking from (13) into the inside of the rectangular outer frame (2), the outermost partition plate (3) is supported by being supported from the outside in a vertically hanging state. Next, the partition plate (3) is shown in FIG.
Explaining with reference to FIG. 5, this partition plate (3) is made into a hollow (14) plate shape of an iron plate set, and ventilation holes (15) are provided on the side surface and the upper surface, and shaft holes (16) are provided at both ends of the upper part. Set up. In addition, projecting edges (17) and (18) for preventing the contents from falling are provided in the middle part and the lower part. The projecting size of the projecting edge (18) may be appropriately determined depending on the fluidity of the contents to be stored, and may be provided on both sides as shown in FIG. Then, the partition plate (3) is hung on the legal outer frame (2) by the suspension shaft (19) penetrating the shaft hole (16). Next, the Tokiwa (4) will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. The Tokiwa (4) is a flat plate-shaped iron plate assembly having a plane size substantially the same as that of the fermentation apparatus main body (1) of the present invention. A guide plate (20) for positioning the main body (1) is provided at an appropriate position on the part, and a guide plate for steadying the partition plate (3) is provided on the upper surface at a position corresponding to the hanging position of each partition plate (3). (21) was projected. A plurality of vent holes (22) are provided on the upper surface of the base plate (4) at the position where the partition plate (3) hangs down and at other appropriate positions. Next, another embodiment of the rectangular outer frame (2) will be described with reference to FIG. 6. One side surface (8) of the rectangular outer frame (2) of FIGS. 1 and 2.
The corresponding side surface (23) itself has almost the same structure as the outermost partition plate (3) and can be opened and closed as indicated by the one-dot chain line in the figure. In addition, it is locked so as not to be opened by an appropriate means except when the contents are taken out.

[Description of operation of the invention]

Next, an example of fermenting an organic substance using the fermentation apparatus of the present invention will be described. In this example, as the organic matter, fermentation of a waste bed for mushroom cultivation or feces storage (hereinafter referred to as waste bed) is exemplified. First, the water content is adjusted to about 50% so that the waste bed or the like to be fermented has a certain degree of air permeability. Usually, a waste bed or the like often has a water content of 70% or more, so dry matter such as sawdust is mixed to adjust the water content so that the material has air permeability. The waste bed and the like whose moisture has been adjusted in this way are uniformly put into the main body (1) of the present invention. At this time, in order not to impair the air permeability of the waste floor, etc., do not press fit. If left unattended in this state, since it is breathable, the aerobic bacteria that naturally exist become active and the fermentation proceeds uniformly without causing bad habits. Further, in this invention, since the breathable partition plate (3) is provided at intervals of 20 cm to 30 cm, the aerobic bacteria grow more vigorously for a short period (several days) without impairing the breathability of the waste floor. Complete the fermentation with. Usually, when fermented in a box-shaped product, as the fermentation progresses, the waste bed and the like are blocked due to the entanglement of mycelia and it is not easy to take them out of the box, but the present invention is a partition plate ( 3) Or one side of the outer frame (2
The problem is solved by opening 3). That is, even if the main body (1) is lifted with a crane or the like while leaving the tokiwa (4), the waste floor (24) is blocked and can be lifted together with the main body (1) without dropping. When the contact rod (12) of the contact tool (9) is turned to remove the contact, as shown in FIG. 4, the partition plate (3) is pushed outward by the own weight pressure of the filled waste floor or the like (24). The abandoned bed (24) naturally falls. When this outermost waste floor (24) falls, the partition plate (3) adjacent to this inside also loses contact, and similarly the adjacent waste floor (2)
Also in 4), the waste bed and the like (24), which has been fermented to form cell blocks, are easily discharged because they fall one after another. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, even if one side surface (23) of the outer frame (2) itself is opened, the waste floor and the like (24) can be easily dropped and discharged as in the above embodiment.

【The invention's effect】

Since the present invention has the structure described above, the land (3) can be piled up by filling the main body (1) with waste floors, etc., so that the land can be effectively used, the ventilation is good and the odor is not generated. It is an invention that can be fermented in a short period of time and can instantly take out a waste bed or the like in which bacterial cells are blocked. Further, it is an effective invention that extremely shortens the composting cycle of waste beds and the like.
