Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide toilet sand which is used for keeping a pet in a room, does not require frequent collections as refuse, does not make the room dirty, and does not cause the generation of a stink and various bacteria. <P>SOLUTION: This toilet sand comprises a dry microorganism material and zeolite spheres having a larger particle diameter and a smaller specific gravity than those of the dry microorganism material. The microorganism material having the small particle diameter/large specific gravity can easily enter spaces between the zeolite spheres to form layer structures (10, 12) only by laterally shaking a toilet. The surface (11) of the toilet sand is mostly occupied with the zeolite spheres. Thereby, it can be prevented that the microorganism material is adhered to the foots of a pet to stain the room. Further, the microorganisms are activated with water around pet excreta to prevent the generation of the stink and various bacteria. Only by burying the excreta with a scoop or the like in the bottom portion of the sand in the toilet, it is not needed for a long period that the excreta is collected as the refuse. When treated with a special-purpose treating machine, the pet toilet sand can be recycled many times. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Description

【0001】
【発明が属する技術分野】
ペットの糞尿処理や生ごみ処理に係わる。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、室内で飼育する猫等のペットのトイレに尿吸収材や消臭剤を入れてペットが糞尿をした後は、ごみ袋に入れて生ごみとしてごみ回収に出していた。しかし、家庭用生ごみの回収は通常週に数回であり、出し忘れると悪臭発生や雑菌の繁殖を招き好ましくない。また、頻繁に糞尿を便器から袋に入れ替える作業は面倒であり、できるだけこの作業の回数を減らす手段が求められている。また、従来の方法では脱臭剤や殺菌スプレーで消臭・殺菌を行っていたが効果が短期的で永続しない。従来は微生物資材でペットのトイレ砂を構成したものはなかった。その理由は、ペット用トイレは常に室内に置かれるため含水率の大きい微生物資材はペットの足裏に付着して室内を汚染することが最大の要因である。また、安全な分解菌が増殖することで有害菌の増殖は抑えられるが、一般的には微生物が室内で大量増殖することに抵抗感があるためとも考えられる。
【0003】
また、従来生ごみ処理に用いられる微生物資材は通常生ごみ処理機の中で使用するため、生ごみを入れるとすぐに菌が活動できるように含水率を約30〜50%程度(野積みで発酵完了時の%)で出荷していた。
【0004】
更に、散水手段を設けた生ごみ処理機は含水率の大きい環境で分解処理する湿式処理に多く用いられており、排水手段が必要であり、排水のBODを下げる手段が必要とされていた。また、他の仕様では、処理槽内の清掃用として散水手段を用いたものもある。更に湿度センサや水分センサと組み合わせて分解工程中に水分の不足が生じた場合に散水するものが開示されている。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
解決しようとする問題点は、ペットの糞尿を生ごみとして回収に出す回数を減らすこと、室内を汚さないこと、悪臭を長期間減らし、大腸菌や有害微生物の増殖を妨げること、室内では菌の増殖を抑えて熱や臭いの発生を防止すること、更に、分解効率の良い処理機を提供することにある。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、微生物資材を用い、室内環境では糞尿を緩やかに分解して悪臭や雑菌の繁殖を防止するとともに、室内汚染防止材により微生物資材がペットの足に付着して室内を汚すことを防止し、処理機で短期間に糞尿やペットの食べ残しを分解処理することを主要な特徴とする。
【0007】
発明の第一では、微生物資材の直径(Db)と、室内汚染防止材の直径(Da)の関係がDb<Daの関係にある微生物資材と室内汚染防止材を混合または組み合わせて使用することを特徴とするペット用糞尿処理材とその処理法。便器内に微生物資材と室内汚染防止材を混入して投入し便器を水平方向に揺すると小さい微生物資材が大粒径の室内汚染防止材同士の隙間に入り込み、室内汚染防止材とその隙間に入り込んだ微生物資材の混合層を形成して表面にはほぼ室内汚染防止材が露出する。このことによりペットの足に微生物資材が付着するのを軽減することが可能となる。
【0008】
更に第二では、微生物資材の比重(Mb)と室内汚染防止材の比重(Ma)との関係がMb>Maであることで、重くて小さい微生物資材が徐々に下方に集積して便器下層に微生物資材層を形成する。このことで汚染防止材を減らして微生物資材の量を多くして処理機での分解を容易にする。この場合、微生物資材と室内汚染防止材は必ずしも混合状態で製品化する必要はなく、別梱包として製造販売しても良い。
【0009】
第三には、微生物資材が、最終発酵工程に加水及び/または含水状態にある分解可能な有機物を加えて少なくとも攪拌、送風手段を設けた槽内で完全発酵させて菌が休眠状態になる含水率以下の乾燥状態としたことにより、微生物資材の骨材も分解され微小な砂状になり、比重も大きくなる。更に、室内に置かれた便器の中で使用されている状態ではペットの尿や糞の近傍のみがそれらの水分で菌の活動域となるが、全体的には菌が休眠状態となっており分解熱で暖められて微生物資材自身の臭いが発生するのを防止できる。但し、糞や尿の近傍では適度に水分が供給され、菌が悪臭を分解するとともに分解菌の増殖で腐敗菌やカビ等の有害菌の繁殖を抑えることができる。
【0010】
第四では、室内汚染防止材が、微生物で分解可能な素材としたことで、微生物によって分解され残渣を再度便器に投入してそのまま利用することも可能で、更に長期間使用後の塩分蓄積が過多になった場合は鉢植えなどのコンポストとしての再利用や可燃ごみとして回収に出すこともできる。微生物で短期間に分解可能な素材の例は、アルファ澱粉に蛋白質を加えて乾燥固化したものや乾燥飯粒、紙などがある。
【0011】
第五には、室内汚染防止材が、微生物で分解困難な素材であり、乾燥した糞を粉砕することが可能な硬さとサイズとすることで例えば通常の家庭用生ごみ処理機などに投入しても糞が容易に粉砕されて分解速度が向上する。また、材が分解困難な素材であるため処理残渣を繰り返し便器に戻して使用可能である。形状は該材間の隙間が容易に形成できてしかも微生物資材が付着しづらいもので、ペットの足裏をできるだけ刺激しないという観点から球形が望ましい。該材の例には、ガラス球、プラスチック球、ゼオライト球、セラミック球、ベントナイト球、球状に加工した木屑などがある。
【0012】
第六には、処理機の攪拌器と槽壁の間隔(Lm)と室内汚染防止材の直径(Da)の関係がLm<Daとしたことで、硬質の室内汚染防止材が攪拌器と槽壁に挟まれて破損したり、多量の室内汚染防止材が団子になって詰まりを起こして攪拌が停止することを防止することが可能となる。
【0013】
第七には、攪拌手段、送風手段、加熱手段、投入水量計量手段及び散水手段を設けた処理機において、排水手段及び槽内の湿度または水分計測手段を設けないことで、排水に処理を行う必要がなくなる。本発明では含水率が比較的低い乾式で処理が行われるため排水手段は不要となる。また、処理機に投入される乾燥状態の資材の含水率はほぼ一定であるため、処理機運転開始時に定量の水を加えるだけでよい。よって、水分や湿度を計測する手段を設ける必要が無く機器を安価に製造できる。本処理では、ペット用便器に蓄積されたペットの糞尿及び微生物資材と補助資材の混合物を攪拌手段、送風手段、加熱手段、水量計測手段及び散水手段を設けた処理槽に投入し、攪拌、加熱、送風とともに水量の計測手段で計測された適量の水を散水手段で槽内へ供給し、微生物で糞尿や分解可能な有機物を分解することで長期間室内に開口面積の大きい便器に放置された乾燥状態にあるペットの糞尿も分解菌の増殖により短日間で分解が可能となる。分解菌の増殖には適度な温度と酸素及び水分が不可欠であるが、長期間放置した微生物資材や糞尿はペットの毎回の尿量よりも蒸散量が多いため乾燥状態となり、室内条件ではかろうじて糞の水分により糞に付着した菌によって緩やかに分解される。以上の理由から本処理機は水分を多量に含んだ生ごみを頻繁に投入する家庭用生ごみ処理機とは異なり、適量の水を加える必要がある。
【0014】
更に第八では、第七の発明と第六の発明を組み合わせることで故障や資材の破損を最小限とした効率の良い処理機が実現できる。
【0015】
【発明の実施の形態】
本形態では、家庭内で飼育されている猫の糞尿処理材とその糞尿処理機からなる処理システムを説明する。
【0016】
【実施例】
図1は本システムのフロー図、図2は便槽内の断面図、図3は図2の資材表面付近の拡大図、図4は処理機の斜視図、図5は処理機の断面図である。1〜9はシステムの処理工程、10はゼオライト球と微生物資材の混合層、11及び36は資材表面、12は微生物資材層、13及び19は猫の便器、37はゼオライト球、38は微生物資材、14及び35は水注入口、15及び24は資材投入口及び蓋、16及び26は吸気口、17及び27はモータ、18及び28は資材取出口、20及び30は足、21及び32は処理槽、22は散水孔、23は赤外線ランプ、25は送風ファン、29は取出し開閉蓋、31は攪拌棒と槽壁の間隙、33は攪拌棒、34は散水管、36は計量カップである。
【0017】
図1の1〜4工程では本システムの微生物資材の製法を示す。野積み堆肥を攪拌器、送風機、ヒータを設けた処理槽(図示せず)に投入(1)して、野菜及び魚を適度に含んだ標準的な生ごみを添加(2)し、完全に発酵が終了するまで運転する(3)。野積みで発酵させた堆肥は、まだ、骨材等多くの有機物と水を含んでいる。該処理を行うことで骨材の有機物まで分解させて粒径を小さく、しかも比重を大きくし砂状にする。野菜や魚をバランス良く投入する理由は、糖質を分解する好気性菌と蛋白質や脂質を主に分解する嫌気性菌の増殖バランスを最適化するためである。30℃、運転開始時の含水率50%で3〜4日運転すると乾燥した砂状の微生物資材が得られる。この状態では大部分の分解菌は芽胞を形成して休眠状態となっている。これを取り出して微生物資材2Kgと8リットル容器に満杯にした粒径3mmの球形に加工したゼオライト球を混合して袋詰めして猫のトイレ砂として販売する(4)。
【0018】
工程5及び6では、ユーザは、このトイレ砂を猫用便器(13)に全て投入(5)すると便器のサイズによるが標準的なサイズのものでは便器の底に5〜8cmトイレ砂が溜まる。これを水平方向に振動させる(6)。図2の便器(13)を細かく振動させるように左右に揺らすと図3の拡大図のゼオライト球(37)が直径3mmであるのに対し、砂状の微生物資材は直径約0.5mmで、しかもゼオライトは多孔質で微生物資材(38)より軽量なため振動によって重くて小さい微生物資材(38)が軽くて大きいゼオライト球(37)の隙間に入り込んで図2のような層構造を形成する。最下層は数cmの殆ど微生物資材のみの層(12)と上層にはゼオライト球と微生物資材が図3のように混合した混合層(10)が形成される。資材表面(36、11)は多少の微生物資材が表面に出ているがゼオライト球の表面積に占める割合が圧倒している。この工程(6)によって猫の足裏に付着する砂状の微生物資材の量を激減させることが可能となる。また、ゼオライトは多孔質であるため孔中で菌を保持することで菌の増殖を助ける。猫が糞尿をした後、飼い主はスコップで図2の資材を掻き混ぜて糞尿を便器下層に埋める。更に、便器を揺すって前記層形成状態にする。この攪拌により埋められた糞尿の表面には菌が大量に付着する。糞尿は菌の繁殖に適度な水分を含んでいるため糞尿の表面付近の菌だけが休眠状態から活動状態に移行し、室温で緩やかに分解が進む。この時臭い物質も分解され、猫1匹であれば資材の交換なしにこの状態を1ヶ月継続しても糞が満杯になって悪臭が発生するようなことはない。また、スコップで糞を掻き混ぜる時、糞内にゼオライト球が混ざりこみ後工程の粉砕を容易にする。室温でしかも水分不足の状態では糞は1ヶ月経過しても乾燥して高野豆腐のように中に多くの空隙をもった状態にはなるが分解が完全ではなく、形状を保っている。
【0019】
工程7では、1ヶ月間後に便器(13)から図4及び図5の処理機の処理槽(21、32)の資材投入口(24)にトイレ砂と共に糞尿を投入する(7)。モーター(27)に通電して攪拌棒(33)を回転させ資材を攪拌する。攪拌はタイマ(図示せず)で制御され、投入初期は連続運転、発酵が始まって発酵熱で槽内温度が上がり始めると1時間に数回の間欠運転に切り替わる。また、猫の食べ残した餌は、都度処理槽に投入して糞尿とともに分解する。この攪拌により糞やキャットフードの食べ残しをゼオライト球が頻繁に衝突することで粉砕することができる。ゼオライトは多孔質であるため脆くて壊れ易いが、攪拌棒(33)と槽壁との間隙(31)をゼオライト球の直径よりも狭くすることで攪拌棒と槽壁に挟まれて破損するのを減らすことができた。これにより再使用トイレ砂の再使用が可能な条件を克服した。工程8では攪拌すると同時に水を水注入口(35、14)に設けられた計量カップ(36)で500ml計量して注入口に注入する。水は槽内上部に設けた散水管(34)を通り等間隔に開けた散水孔(22)から均等に散水される。槽内に温度センサ(図示せず)を設け、槽内温度が30℃以下の場合はで赤外線ランプ(23)を点灯させる。送風機(25)は攪拌器が運転中のみ運転し吸気口(16、26)から外気を取り込む。分解は数日間で終了して発酵が停止し砂状のトイレ砂に戻る。
【0020】
工程9では、引き出し式の引き蓋(29)を開き、資材取り出し口(18、28)から分解を終えた砂状のトイレ砂を取り出す。取り出し口の真下に猫便器(19)を置いて取り出すことでトイレ砂に手を触れずに取り出すことが可能となる。便器が1つしかない場合は、資材収納用に空き箱を容易する。取り出されたトイレ砂は、トイレ砂として約6ヶ月間再使用が可能である。その後は塩分の蓄積で分解効率が低下するため生ごみとして回収に出すか、あるいは、水捌けの良い植木などに多量の水と共にコンポストとして与えることもできる。
【0021】
【発明の効果】
土壌菌からなる堆肥を前記発酵槽で再度完全に発酵が完了するまで処理することで砂状の粒の小さい比重の大きい微生物資材が得られる。大比重・小粒径の資材と大粒径・小比重の室内汚染防止材を混合して振動を与えることで便器内に層構造が形成され資材表面には微生物資材がほとんどない状態を実現できるため、ペットの足に微生物資材が付着して室内を汚すことを防止できる。この資材中では乾燥状態のため菌が休眠状態となっているため分解熱の発生が抑えられて、土壌菌独特の臭いの発生を防止できる。また、糞尿の臭いや雑菌の繁殖については糞尿近傍の水分が菌を活動させるため雑菌の繁殖を抑え、臭い物質も分解されて消臭される。スコップ等で便器内を攪拌するだけで糞を底に埋めて比較的長期間放置することができる。更に、硬質の室内汚染防止材と専用処理機を組み合わせて使用することで糞尿やペットフードの食べ残し等を効率よく粉砕して短期間に分解処理が可能となった。更にトイレ砂を再生することでトイレ砂を何回も再使用でき、頻繁に生ごみの回収に出す手間が大幅に削減される。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
Involved in pet manure processing and garbage processing.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, after a urine absorbing material or a deodorant is put into a toilet of a pet such as a cat kept indoors and the pet makes manure, the pet is put into a garbage bag and sent out as garbage for garbage collection. However, household garbage is usually collected several times a week, and if left out, odor generation and germ propagation may occur undesirably. Also, the work of frequently exchanging excrement from the toilet bowl into the bag is troublesome, and means for reducing the number of times of this work as much as possible are required. Further, in the conventional method, deodorization and sterilization were performed with a deodorant and a sterilizing spray, but the effect is short-term and not permanent. In the past, there was no pet toilet sand made of microbial materials. The most important reason is that the pet toilet is always placed indoors, and the greatest factor is that microbial materials having a high water content adhere to the soles of the pets and contaminate the interior. In addition, the growth of harmful bacteria can be suppressed by the growth of safe degrading bacteria, but it is generally considered that there is a feeling that microorganisms are resistant to large-scale growth indoors.
[0003]
In addition, since microbial materials used in conventional garbage processing are usually used in garbage processing machines, the water content is about 30 to 50% (in the case of unloading) so that bacteria can be activated as soon as garbage is added. (% Of fermentation completion).
[0004]
Furthermore, a garbage disposer provided with a water sprinkling means is often used in a wet treatment for decomposing in an environment having a high water content, and requires a drainage means and a means for lowering the BOD of the wastewater. Further, in another specification, there is a case where a water sprinkling means is used for cleaning the inside of the processing tank. Further, there is disclosed an apparatus that sprays water when a shortage of water occurs during a decomposition process in combination with a humidity sensor or a moisture sensor.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The problems to be solved are to reduce the number of times that pet manure is collected as garbage, not to pollute the room, to reduce the bad smell for a long time, to prevent the growth of Escherichia coli and harmful microorganisms, and to multiply the bacteria in the room. Another object of the present invention is to provide a processing machine having a high decomposition efficiency by preventing heat and odor from being generated.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention uses a microbial material, and in the indoor environment, gently decomposes manure to prevent the propagation of offensive odors and various germs, and the indoor pollution control material prevents the microbial material from adhering to the feet of pets and contaminating the room. Its main feature is that it decomposes manure and pet leftovers in a short time using a processing machine.
[0007]
In the first aspect of the present invention, the use of a mixture or combination of a microbial material and an indoor pollution control material in which the relationship between the diameter of the microbial material (Db) and the diameter of the indoor pollution control material (Da) is Db <Da is used. Characterization material for pet manure and its treatment method. When microbial material and indoor anti-pollution material are mixed and put in the toilet and the toilet is shaken in the horizontal direction, small micro-organic material enters the gap between the large-diameter indoor anti-pollution materials and enters the indoor anti-pollution material and the gap A mixed layer of microbial materials is formed, and the indoor pollution control material is almost exposed on the surface. This makes it possible to reduce the adhesion of the microbial material to the pet's feet.
[0008]
Secondly, since the relationship between the specific gravity (Mb) of the microbial material and the specific gravity (Ma) of the indoor pollution control material is Mb> Ma, the heavy and small microbial material gradually accumulates downward and becomes lower in the toilet bowl. Form a microbial material layer. This reduces the amount of pollution control material, increases the amount of microbial material, and facilitates decomposition in the processor. In this case, the microbial material and the indoor pollution control material do not necessarily have to be commercialized in a mixed state, and may be manufactured and sold as a separate package.
[0009]
Third, the microbial material is added to the final fermentation step with water and / or decomposable organic matter in a water-containing state, and at least agitated, and is completely fermented in a tank provided with a ventilation means to bring the bacteria into a dormant state. By setting it to a dry state below the rate, the aggregate of the microbial material is also decomposed into a fine sand, and the specific gravity is increased. Furthermore, when used in a toilet placed indoors, only the area near the urine and feces of the pet becomes the active area of the bacteria by their water, but the bacteria are in a dormant state as a whole. It is possible to prevent the odor of the microbial material itself from being generated by being heated by the decomposition heat. However, in the vicinity of feces and urine, a suitable amount of water is supplied, so that the bacteria can decompose the bad smell and the proliferation of the decomposing bacteria can suppress the growth of harmful bacteria such as spoilage bacteria and mold.
[0010]
Fourth, because the indoor pollution control material is made of a material that can be decomposed by microorganisms, it can be decomposed by microorganisms and the residue can be put into the toilet again and used as it is, further accumulating salt after long-term use. If it becomes excessive, it can be reused as compost such as potted plants or collected as combustible waste. Examples of materials that can be decomposed by microorganisms in a short period of time include alpha-starch obtained by adding a protein to dry solidification, dried rice grains, and paper.
[0011]
Fifth, the indoor pollution control material is a material that is difficult to decompose by microorganisms, and is used in ordinary household garbage disposers, for example, by setting the hardness and size so that dried feces can be crushed. Even though the feces are easily crushed, the decomposition rate is improved. Further, since the material is difficult to decompose, the processing residue can be repeatedly returned to the toilet and used. The shape is desirably spherical, from which the gap between the materials can be easily formed and the microbial material does not easily adhere, and the sole of the pet is not stimulated as much as possible. Examples of the material include glass spheres, plastic spheres, zeolite spheres, ceramic spheres, bentonite spheres, and spherically processed wood chips.
[0012]
Sixth, the relationship between the distance (Lm) between the stirrer and the tank wall of the processing machine and the diameter (Da) of the indoor pollution control material is Lm <Da, so that the hard indoor pollution control material can be combined with the stirrer and the tank. It is possible to prevent the wall from being damaged by being sandwiched between the walls or a large amount of the indoor pollution preventing material forming a dumpling and clogging to stop the stirring.
[0013]
Seventh, in a processing machine provided with a stirring means, a blowing means, a heating means, an input water amount measuring means and a water sprinkling means, the wastewater is treated by not providing a drainage means and a humidity or moisture measuring means in a tank. Eliminates the need. In the present invention, since the treatment is performed in a dry manner having a relatively low water content, no drainage means is required. Further, since the moisture content of the dry material fed into the processor is almost constant, it is only necessary to add a fixed amount of water at the start of the operation of the processor. Therefore, there is no need to provide a means for measuring moisture and humidity, and the device can be manufactured at low cost. In this treatment, a mixture of pet manure and microbial materials and auxiliary materials accumulated in the pet toilet is put into a treatment tank provided with a stirring unit, a blowing unit, a heating unit, a water amount measuring unit and a watering unit, and the mixture is stirred and heated. , The appropriate amount of water measured by the water volume measurement means together with the air supply was supplied into the tank by the watering means, and the microorganisms decomposed the excrement and decomposable organic substances, and were left indoors for a long time in a toilet with a large open area. The pet manure in a dry state can also be decomposed in a short period of time due to the growth of decomposing bacteria. Moderate temperature, oxygen and moisture are indispensable for the growth of degrading bacteria, but microbial materials and manure left for a long period of time are more likely to evaporate than the urine volume of each pet and become dry and barely damp under indoor conditions. It is slowly decomposed by bacteria attached to the feces due to the moisture. For the above reasons, the present processing machine needs to add an appropriate amount of water, unlike a household garbage processing machine that frequently inputs garbage containing a large amount of water.
[0014]
In the eighth aspect, by combining the seventh and sixth aspects of the invention, an efficient processing machine with minimum failure and damage to materials can be realized.
[0015]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
In the present embodiment, a treatment system including a manure processing material for cats raised at home and a manure processing machine thereof will be described.
[0016]
【Example】
1 is a flow diagram of the present system, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the inside of the toilet tank, FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the material surface in FIG. 2, FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the processing machine, and FIG. is there. 1 to 9 are system processing steps, 10 is a mixed layer of zeolite spheres and microbial materials, 11 and 36 are material surfaces, 12 is microbial material layers, 13 and 19 are cat toilets, 37 is zeolite balls, and 38 is microbial materials. , 14 and 35 are water inlets, 15 and 24 are material inlets and lids, 16 and 26 are inlets, 17 and 27 are motors, 18 and 28 are material outlets, 20 and 30 are feet, 21 and 32 are A processing tank, 22 is a watering hole, 23 is an infrared lamp, 25 is a blower fan, 29 is a take-out opening / closing lid, 31 is a gap between a stirring rod and a tank wall, 33 is a stirring rod, 34 is a watering pipe, and 36 is a measuring cup. .
[0017]
Steps 1 to 4 in FIG. 1 show a method for producing microbial materials of the present system. The raw compost is put into a processing tank (not shown) provided with a stirrer, a blower, and a heater (1), and standard garbage containing an appropriate amount of vegetables and fish is added (2), and completely composted. Operate until fermentation ends (3). Compost fermented by open pile still contains many organic matter such as aggregate and water. By performing the treatment, the organic matter of the aggregate is decomposed to reduce the particle size, and further increase the specific gravity to form a sand. The reason for putting vegetables and fish in a well-balanced manner is to optimize the growth balance between aerobic bacteria that degrade carbohydrates and anaerobic bacteria that mainly degrade proteins and lipids. Driving for 3 to 4 days at 30 ° C. and a water content of 50% at the start of operation gives a dry, sandy microbial material. In this state, most of the decomposing bacteria form spores and are dormant. This is taken out and mixed with 2 kg of microbial material and a zeolite sphere processed into a spherical shape having a particle diameter of 3 mm filled in an 8 liter container, packed in a bag, and sold as cat litter (4).
[0018]
In steps 5 and 6, when the user puts all the litter into the cat toilet (13) (5), depending on the size of the toilet, 5 to 8 cm of toilet sand accumulates on the bottom of the toilet with a standard size toilet. This is vibrated in the horizontal direction (6). When the toilet (13) of FIG. 2 is shaken to the left and right to vibrate finely, the zeolite sphere (37) in the enlarged view of FIG. 3 has a diameter of 3 mm, whereas the sandy microbial material has a diameter of about 0.5 mm. Moreover, since the zeolite is porous and lighter than the microbial material (38), the heavy and small microbial material (38) enters the gaps between the light and large zeolite spheres (37) by vibration to form a layer structure as shown in FIG. The lowermost layer has a layer (12) of only a few centimeters containing only microbial materials, and the upper layer has a mixed layer (10) in which zeolite spheres and microbial materials are mixed as shown in FIG. Although some microbial materials appear on the surface (36, 11) of the material, the proportion of the surface of the zeolite spheres is overwhelming. This step (6) makes it possible to drastically reduce the amount of sandy microbial material adhering to the soles of cats. In addition, since zeolite is porous, it supports bacterial growth by retaining the bacteria in the pores. After the cat has excreted manure, the owner stirs the material of FIG. 2 with a scoop and buries the excrement in the lower part of the toilet bowl. Further, the toilet is shaken to bring the layer into the above-mentioned layer formation state. A large amount of bacteria adhere to the surface of the manure buried by this stirring. Since the manure contains water suitable for the propagation of the bacteria, only the bacteria near the surface of the manure transition from the dormant state to the active state, and gradually decompose at room temperature. At this time, the odorous substances are also decomposed, and if one cat is kept in this state for one month without exchanging the materials, the feces do not become full and the odor does not occur. In addition, when the feces are stirred with a scoop, the zeolite spheres are mixed into the feces to facilitate the subsequent pulverization. At room temperature and in a state of insufficient water, the feces are dried even after one month and have many voids inside like Takano tofu, but the decomposition is not complete and the shape is maintained.
[0019]
In step 7, one month later, feces and urine are thrown from the toilet (13) into the material inlet (24) of the processing tank (21, 32) of the processing machine shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 (7). The motor (27) is energized to rotate the stirring rod (33) to stir the material. The agitation is controlled by a timer (not shown), and the operation is switched to a continuous operation in the initial stage of feeding, and to an intermittent operation several times an hour when fermentation starts and the temperature in the tank starts to rise due to fermentation heat. The food left behind by the cat is thrown into the treatment tank each time and decomposed together with manure. By this agitation, zeolite spheres can frequently grind the dung and cat food leftovers by collision. Since zeolite is porous and brittle, it is easily broken. However, if the gap (31) between the stirring rod (33) and the tank wall is made smaller than the diameter of the zeolite sphere, the zeolite may be caught between the stirring rod and the tank wall and damaged. Could be reduced. This overcomes the conditions under which reusable toilet sand can be reused. In step 8, at the same time as stirring, 500 ml of water is measured with a measuring cup (36) provided at the water inlet (35, 14) and injected into the inlet. Water is evenly sprinkled from watering holes (22) formed at equal intervals through a watering pipe (34) provided in the upper part of the tank. A temperature sensor (not shown) is provided in the bath, and the infrared lamp (23) is turned on when the temperature in the bath is 30 ° C. or lower. The blower (25) operates only while the stirrer is operating, and takes in outside air from the intake ports (16, 26). Decomposition is completed in a few days, fermentation stops, and it returns to sandy toilet sand.
[0020]
In step 9, the drawer type lid (29) is opened, and the disassembled sandy toilet sand is taken out from the material take-out openings (18, 28). By placing the cat toilet (19) directly under the outlet, the cat toilet (19) can be taken out without touching the toilet sand. If there is only one toilet, empty boxes are easily provided for storing materials. The removed toilet sand can be reused for about 6 months as toilet sand. Thereafter, the decomposition efficiency is reduced due to the accumulation of salt, so that the waste can be collected as garbage, or it can be given as compost together with a large amount of water to a well-drained plant.

【The invention's effect】
By treating the compost composed of soil bacteria until the fermentation is completely completed again in the fermenter, a microbial material having a small sand-like grain and a large specific gravity can be obtained. By mixing the material with large specific gravity and small particle size and the indoor particle prevention material with large particle size and small specific gravity and applying vibration, a layered structure is formed in the toilet bowl and it is possible to realize a state where there is almost no microbial material on the material surface Therefore, it is possible to prevent the microbial material from adhering to the pet's feet and soiling the room. In this material, the bacteria are in a dormant state because of the dry state, so that the generation of decomposition heat is suppressed, and the generation of the odor peculiar to the soil bacteria can be prevented. In addition, regarding the smell of manure and the propagation of various bacteria, the water in the vicinity of the manure suppresses the propagation of various bacteria because the bacteria activate, and the odorous substances are also decomposed and deodorized. By simply stirring the inside of the toilet with a scoop or the like, feces can be buried in the bottom and left for a relatively long time. Furthermore, by using a combination of a hard indoor pollution prevention material and a dedicated processing machine, it is possible to efficiently pulverize excrement and leftovers of pet food, etc., and decompose in a short time. Furthermore, by regenerating the litter, the litter can be reused many times, greatly reducing the trouble of collecting garbage frequently.
