Description

本発明は堆肥発酵設備で使用するスクープ式堆肥攪拌機及び堆肥原料用スクレーパ装置に関し、特に、堆肥発酵槽内への原料の投入量を増すと共に、スクープ方式の攪拌機が堆肥原料の崩落によってその機能を停止することがないようにしたスクープ式堆肥攪拌機、堆肥原料用スクレーパ装置及びその制御方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a scoop type compost stirrer and a compost raw material scraper device used in a compost fermenting facility, and in particular, increases the input amount of raw material into the compost fermenter, and the scoop type stirrer functions by the collapse of the compost raw material. The present invention relates to a scoop-type compost stirrer, a compost raw material scraper device, and a control method thereof.

堆肥製造の一般的な工程は、畜産排泄物や生ゴミ或は下水処理により生じた有機廃棄物汚泥などからなる堆肥原料を加圧混練して、発酵槽内で発酵処理した後に所定時間寝かせることによって行われる。このうち、発酵処理の工程に関しては、品質、衛生、或は環境の面において有効なものとして、スクープ式の堆肥攪拌機を用いた処理方法が提案されている。   The general process for compost production is to press and knead compost raw materials consisting of livestock excrement, raw garbage, or organic waste sludge generated by sewage treatment, and leave it for a specified time after fermentation treatment in the fermenter. Is done by. Among these, regarding the process of fermentation treatment, a treatment method using a scoop-type compost stirrer has been proposed as effective in terms of quality, hygiene or environment.

スクープ式の堆肥発酵処理法とは、回動しながら堆肥原料を掬い揚げる攪拌羽根を備えた堆肥攪拌機が、発酵槽上端部に架設されたレール上を堆肥排出口側から原料投入口側へと自走することにより、堆肥原料を後方へと移送しながら、これに空気を含ませて堆肥の好気的発酵を促進させる処理方法である。   The scoop-type compost fermenting method means that a compost stirrer equipped with a stirring blade that sprinkles and lifts the compost raw material while rotating from the compost discharge port side to the raw material input port side on the rail installed at the upper end of the fermenter It is a processing method that promotes aerobic fermentation of compost by allowing the compost raw material to move backward by being self-propelled and including air therein.

ところが、発酵槽内に堆積した堆肥原料は高さ約1メートルから数メートル程度の山ともなり、攪拌羽根が原料を掬い出して推進する際、足元を失った汚泥の山が攪拌羽根上へ一時に崩落することがある。このとき、攪拌羽根を回動させる電動機(以下、単に回動機ともいう)のモータは崩落した堆肥原料の重みに耐え切れず、過負荷状態となって回動機能を停止してしまう。これにより発酵処理作業は中断を強いられるばかりか、この中断が長時間に及んだ場合には発酵中の堆肥が酸素不足から嫌気的発酵を起こして、堆肥としての品質も低下するという問題がある。   However, the compost raw material deposited in the fermenter also becomes a mountain with a height of about 1 meter to several meters, and when the stirring blade scoops out the raw material and propels it, the pile of sludge that has lost its foot is placed on the stirring blade. Sometimes it collapses. At this time, the motor of the electric motor that rotates the stirring blades (hereinafter also simply referred to as a “rotating machine”) cannot withstand the weight of the compost material that has collapsed, and becomes overloaded and stops the rotating function. As a result, the fermenting process is not only forced to be interrupted, but if this interruption is prolonged, the compost being fermented will undergo anaerobic fermentation due to lack of oxygen and the quality of the compost will deteriorate. is there.

かかる問題に対しては、堆肥攪拌機が過負荷状態とならないよう回動機の基本出力を予め高く設定して対応するのが一般的であるが、平常の運転時における過剰な電力供給は重機械ゆえに大きな経済的損失となることが懸念される。   To deal with this problem, it is common to set the basic output of the rotating machine high in advance so that the compost stirrer does not become overloaded, but excessive power supply during normal operation is due to heavy machinery. There is concern that it will be a major economic loss.

一方、回動する攪拌羽根によって堆肥原料のある特定箇所が絶えず捏和される状況は、原料の粘性を増加させて団結塊を発生させやすい。一旦、団結塊化すると汚泥は表面から乾いて硬くなるために粉砕され難くなり、上述の崩落を起こし回動機のオーバーロードの原因となると共に、塊内部の水分が減少せず嫌気発酵を引き起こして悪臭発生の原因ともなる。   On the other hand, a situation in which a specific portion of the compost raw material is constantly kneaded by the rotating stirring blades tends to increase the viscosity of the raw material and generate a united mass. Once solidified, the sludge becomes dry and hard from the surface, making it difficult to be crushed, causing the above-mentioned collapse and causing overloading of the rotating machine, causing anaerobic fermentation without reducing the moisture inside the lump. It may also cause bad odor.

団結塊については、従来から攪拌羽根の先端部に鉤爪状の突起物を取り付けることにより対処がなされている。すなわち、攪拌羽根と一体に回動する鉤爪が発酵槽内の汚泥を粉砕して団結塊化するのを阻止できるからである。   About unity lump, the countermeasure is conventionally made by attaching a claw-like projection to the tip of the stirring blade. That is, the claws that rotate integrally with the stirring blades can prevent the sludge in the fermenter from being crushed and united.

しかし、上記従来の鉤爪状突起は全ての攪拌羽根に対して一様に配列されており、突起の回動経路から外れる団結塊については鉤爪が当たらずに粉砕されないため、未だ解決すべき問題を残している。   However, the above-mentioned conventional claw-like projections are uniformly arranged on all the stirring blades, and the united lumps that deviate from the rotation path of the projection are not crushed without hitting the claw, so that there is still a problem to be solved. I'm leaving.

そこで本発明は、堆肥発酵処理設備が有する上記の問題に鑑み、発酵処理中に崩落した団結塊状汚泥の負荷によって攪拌機が機能停止状態に陥るのを回避できるようにしたスクープ式堆肥攪拌機、堆肥原料用スクレーパ装置及びその制御方法を提供することを課題とする。   Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems of the compost fermentation treatment equipment, the present invention is a scoop-type compost stirrer and compost raw material that can prevent the stirrer from falling into a function-down state due to the load of the sludge slump that collapsed during the fermentation process. It is an object of the present invention to provide a scraper apparatus for use and a control method thereof.

It was moved forward from the rear compost discharge port side to the front raw material input port side by a moving electric motor (hereinafter also simply referred to as a moving device) and supported by a frame that was pivotally supported by the support frame and swingable up and down.

In addition, the operation of the motor of the rotating machine may be controlled.

上記の課題を解決することを目的としてなされた本発明堆肥原料用スクレーパ装置の制御方法の構成は、堆肥発酵槽の上端部に架設した移動用軌条に沿って駆動機により前進乃至後退しながら掻き落としアングルによって発酵槽内の堆肥原料を均す堆肥原料用スクレーパ装置の制御方法において、前記発酵槽に配備された自走式の堆肥攪拌機が稼働中であるか否かの信号を検出する検出部によって当該攪拌機の稼働状況を判断し、攪拌機の稼働時にはスクレーパ装置を発酵槽の前端部乃至は後端部に待機させるよう制御することを、或は、対象物距離測定装置による測定値が設定値を下回るときは、前記駆動機によりスクレーパ装置を堆肥発酵槽の前端部まで前進乃至は後端部まで後退させるよう制御することを特徴とするものである。   The configuration of the method for controlling the scraper device for compost raw material of the present invention, which has been made for the purpose of solving the above problems, is scraped while being advanced or retracted by a drive unit along a moving rail installed on the upper end of the compost fermenter. In the control method of the compost raw material scraper device that equalizes the compost raw material in the fermenter by the drop angle, a detection unit that detects a signal as to whether or not the self-propelled compost agitator arranged in the fermenter is in operation The operation status of the stirrer is determined by the control, and when the stirrer is operated, the scraper device is controlled to wait at the front end portion or the rear end portion of the fermenter, or the measured value by the object distance measuring device is a set value. When the value is less than 1, the scraper device is controlled to advance or retreat to the front end portion of the compost fermenter by the drive unit.

本発明は、堆肥発酵設備での発酵処理工程において、堆肥原料の山が攪拌羽根上に崩落して回動機に流れる電流値が事前の設定電流値を超えたときに、堆肥攪拌機の前進と攪拌羽根の回動を停止し、一度この攪拌機を後退させることによって堆肥原料を攪拌羽根上から振り落とし、当該攪拌機が過負荷状態から機能を停止してしまうことを回避できる。また、各攪拌羽根の先端部或は左右端部に配置した長さの不揃いな鉤爪状突起は汚泥の団結塊化を阻止でき、さらに、スクレーパ装置は堆積した原料の山を低く均して上記崩落の危険性を回避し、かつ、一回の処理工程における発酵槽への原料投入量も増すことができる。この結果、堆肥の製造能率は向上し、また、処理工程が長時間に亘って中断されるということはなくなるので、酸素不足による嫌気的発酵から悪臭や品質の低下を生ずるといった事態についても完全に防止できるという効果を発揮する。   The present invention, in the fermentation treatment process in the compost fermentation equipment, when the pile of compost raw material collapses on the stirring blade and the current value flowing through the rotating machine exceeds the preset current value, the compost stirrer advances and stirs By stopping the rotation of the blades and once moving the stirrer, it is possible to prevent the compost raw material from being shaken off from the stirring blades and stopping the function of the stirrer from an overload state. In addition, the claw-like protrusions of irregular length arranged at the tip or left and right ends of each stirring blade can prevent sludge from agglomerating. The risk of collapsing can be avoided, and the amount of raw material charged into the fermenter in a single processing step can be increased. As a result, the production efficiency of compost is improved, and the processing process is not interrupted for a long time, so it is completely possible to prevent bad smell and quality deterioration from anaerobic fermentation due to lack of oxygen. The effect that it can be prevented is demonstrated.

本発明の実施形態例の説明に先立ち、図5により、堆肥発酵槽で一般的に使用されるスクープ式堆肥攪拌機(以下、単に攪拌機Mという)について説明する。図5において、1は堆肥原料4a、4bを貯蔵して発酵させる堆肥発酵槽、2はこの堆肥発酵槽1上端部の長手方向に架設された移動用軌条であって、攪拌機Mが前後に移動するためのレールである。3は攪拌機Mを支持する台車たる支持架構、m2は支持架構3の前部分に備えられて前後方向の推進力を供給するモータ式の移動機である。6は堆肥原料4aを掬い揚げる攪拌羽根であり、実施例では金属製或は合成樹脂製などの硬質素材からなる巾3メートル程度のアングル状部材により形成される。この攪拌羽根6は、支持架台63に設けられたモータによる回動機m1より動力を得る駆動輪W1と対応する従動輪W2に掛け回されて無限軌道を循環する鎖5付きの柔軟輸送帯62にボルト及びナット等の固着手段により固着され、各構成部材5,6,62が一体となって前記支持架台63に沿って回動しながら堆肥原料4aを切返して行く。以下、鎖5、攪拌羽根6、輸送帯62、支持架台63を合わせて切返し装置60ともいう。   Prior to the description of the embodiment of the present invention, a scoop type compost stirrer (hereinafter simply referred to as a stirrer M) generally used in a compost fermenter will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 5, 1 is a compost fermenter for storing and fermenting the compost raw materials 4a and 4b, and 2 is a moving rail installed in the longitudinal direction of the upper end of the compost fermenter 1, and the agitator M moves back and forth. It is a rail to do. Reference numeral 3 denotes a support frame that is a carriage that supports the stirrer M, and m <b> 2 is a motor-type mobile unit that is provided at the front portion of the support frame 3 and supplies a propulsive force in the front-rear direction. Reference numeral 6 denotes a stirring blade for scooping up the compost raw material 4a. In the embodiment, the stirring blade 6 is formed of an angle-shaped member having a width of about 3 meters and made of a hard material such as metal or synthetic resin. The agitating blade 6 is wound around a flexible transport belt 62 with a chain 5 that circulates on an endless track by being wound around a drive wheel W1 and a corresponding driven wheel W2 that obtains power from a rotating machine m1 by a motor provided on a support frame 63. It is fixed by fixing means such as bolts and nuts, and the constituent members 5, 6, 62 are united and turn along the support frame 63 to turn over the compost raw material 4 a. Hereinafter, the chain 5, the stirring blade 6, the transport zone 62, and the support frame 63 are also collectively referred to as a turning device 60.

また、攪拌羽根6や輸送帯62などを支持する支持架台63は、揺動軸61(図5においては紙面に対し垂直方向の軸)によって支持架構3に軸支されており、水平位置から俯角90度までの一定範囲で上下に揺動可能である(なお、本実施例においては約50度を設計値として選択する)。これにより、作業後の復路やライン変更時は切返し装置60を持ち上げて横にした状態で行うことができる。   The support frame 63 that supports the stirring blade 6 and the transport belt 62 is pivotally supported on the support frame 3 by a swing shaft 61 (in FIG. 5, an axis perpendicular to the paper surface). It can swing up and down within a certain range up to 90 degrees (in this embodiment, about 50 degrees is selected as a design value). Thereby, it is possible to carry out in a state where the turn-back device 60 is lifted and laid down at the time of return path or line change after work.

ここで「切返し」とは、図5において実線で示した切返し装置60を仮想線で示した傾斜角に設定して、攪拌機Mを前進させながら、回動する攪拌羽根6が発酵槽1内に投入された堆肥原料4aを切返し装置60における回動下端域6bにおいて掬い揚げ、回動上端域6tまで揚送して落下させる一連の動作をいう。これは、発酵槽1内に堆積して相当程度の高さに達した堆肥原料4aの山を攪拌羽根6により少量ずつ掬い出して、満遍無く外気と接触させ十分な酸素を供給して攪拌後の原料4bの好気的発酵を促すことを目的とする。   Here, “turning” means that the turning device 60 indicated by the solid line in FIG. 5 is set to the inclination angle indicated by the phantom line, and the stirring blade 6 that rotates while the agitator M is moved forward is placed in the fermenter 1. It refers to a series of operations in which the introduced compost raw material 4a is scooped up in the rotating lower end region 6b of the turning device 60, and is transported and dropped to the rotating upper end region 6t. This is because the piles of the compost raw material 4a that have accumulated in the fermenter 1 and have reached a considerable height are crushed little by little by the stirring blade 6, and evenly contacted with the outside air to supply sufficient oxygen and stir. The purpose is to promote aerobic fermentation of the later raw material 4b.

一方、上記切返し作業は、切返し装置60が攪拌機Mの前進方向に対して斜め下方へ稍俯いた状態で行われるため、発酵槽1内にある堆肥原料4aは攪拌羽根6によって槽底部側から徐々に削られ切返されていくこととなり、図1において仮想線で示すような緩やかな傾斜面をもって攪拌羽根6と接するのが通常の態様となる。   On the other hand, since the turning operation is performed in a state where the turning device 60 is slanted downward with respect to the advancing direction of the stirrer M, the compost raw material 4a in the fermenter 1 is gradually added from the tank bottom side by the stirring blades 6. Therefore, it is normal to contact the stirring blade 6 with a gentle inclined surface as shown by the phantom line in FIG.

しかし、堆肥原料4aはその組成によって、或は、場所によっては含水率が大きく異なるため、粘度において差が生じ易い。この結果、図1において実線で示すように、堆積した汚泥が急斜面を形成し、これが図2-(a)に見られるように攪拌羽根6上に一時に崩落すると堆肥原料4aの重量が回動機m1に対して過負荷となって、これにより不具合の生じていたことは先に述べた通りである。   However, since the moisture content of the compost raw material 4a varies greatly depending on the composition or location, a difference in viscosity is likely to occur. As a result, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, the accumulated sludge forms a steep slope, and when this collapses on the stirring blade 6 as shown in FIG. 2- (a), the weight of the compost raw material 4a becomes the rotating machine. As described above, it is overloaded with respect to m1 and this causes a problem.

そこで本発明スクープ式堆肥攪拌機Mは、汚泥の崩落に際しても当該攪拌機Mの動作をこれに備えられた駆動制御部C1(以下、単に制御部C1ともいう)が制御することによって上述の不都合を解消したので、この点について、図1〜図8を参照しつつ以下に説明する。   Therefore, the scoop type compost stirrer M of the present invention eliminates the above-mentioned inconvenience by controlling the operation of the stirrer M even when sludge collapses by a drive control unit C1 (hereinafter also simply referred to as a control unit C1). Therefore, this point will be described below with reference to FIGS.

図1おいて、本発明に係る攪拌機Mは支持架構3の前部に制御部C1を備えており、移動機m2はこの制御部C1によって前進、停止、後退を管理される。この制御部C1は、図3に例示するように、電流計A、回動機m1の電流値並びに移動機m2の後退距離の設定部F1と検出部D1、及び、比較演算部c11と出力制御部c12とによって構成され、比較演算部c11が適宜サンプリングタイムで演算処理を行い、その結果を受けて出力制御部c12は回動機m1と移動機m2のモータの運転を制御管理する。ここで、回動機m1には、これに流れる電流値iを測定するための電流計Aが接続されており、検出部D1により測定検出される電流値iは検出部D1から比較演算部c11へと出力されて、攪拌機Mが通常の切返しを行うに支障のない程度の電流値として予め設定部F1において設定した設定電流値i1と大小比較される。   In FIG. 1, the stirrer M according to the present invention includes a control unit C1 at the front portion of the support frame 3, and the mobile unit m2 is managed by the control unit C1 to move forward, stop, and reverse. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the control unit C1 includes an ammeter A, a current value of the rotating machine m1 and a backward distance setting unit F1 and a detection unit D1, and a comparison calculation unit c11 and an output control unit. The comparison calculation unit c11 appropriately performs a calculation process at a sampling time, and the output control unit c12 controls and manages the operation of the motors of the rotating machine m1 and the moving machine m2 in response to the result. Here, the rotating machine m1 is connected to an ammeter A for measuring a current value i flowing therethrough, and the current value i measured and detected by the detection unit D1 is transferred from the detection unit D1 to the comparison calculation unit c11. And is compared with the set current value i1 previously set in the setting unit F1 as a current value that does not hinder the agitator M from performing normal switching.

出力制御部c12は、前記電流値iが設定電流値i1を下回るときは回動機m1の回動運転と移動機m2の前進運転とを維持し、切返し作業を続行する。一方、検出電流値iが設定電流値i1を上回ったときには、回動機m1の回動運転及び移動機m2の前進運転を停止する。そして、移動機m2に対して設定した後退距離の指令に基づき、攪拌機Mを一旦後退させる。その後、検出電流値iが設定電流値i1を下回ることが比較演算部c11により確認されると、出力制御部c12は回動機m1の回動運転と移動機m2の前進運転の指令を出力し、攪拌機Mの切返し運転を再開する。   When the current value i is lower than the set current value i1, the output control unit c12 maintains the rotating operation of the rotating machine m1 and the forward operation of the moving machine m2, and continues the turning operation. On the other hand, when the detected current value i exceeds the set current value i1, the rotating operation of the rotating machine m1 and the forward operation of the moving machine m2 are stopped. And the stirrer M is once retracted based on the command of the reverse distance set with respect to the moving machine m2. After that, when the comparison calculation unit c11 confirms that the detected current value i is lower than the set current value i1, the output control unit c12 outputs a command for the rotating operation of the rotating machine m1 and the forward operation of the moving machine m2. The reversing operation of the stirrer M is restarted.

すなわち、切返し作業において原料4aが攪拌羽根6上に崩落するとその重みによって回動機m1に対する負荷と供給電流値iが増加するところ、これを演算処理して判別した比較演算部c11の出力を受けた出力制御部c12によって、回動機m1が過負荷によって機能を停止してしまう前に攪拌羽根6の回動と攪拌機Mの前進を停止し、その後移動機m2を後退させて攪拌羽根6上の堆肥原料4aを滑落させることにより、崩落前に近い状況を取り戻すのである。なお、本発明においては、堆肥原料4aをより確実に滑落させるために、堆肥攪拌機Mを後退させながら、或は、後退させて回動機m1のモータの運転を再開するまでの間において、攪拌羽根6を逆回転させるように制御することは任意である。   That is, when the raw material 4a collapses on the stirring blade 6 in the turnover operation, the load on the rotating machine m1 and the supply current value i increase due to the weight, and the output of the comparison calculation unit c11 determined by performing this processing is received. The output controller c12 stops the rotation of the stirring blade 6 and the forward movement of the stirring machine M before the rotating machine m1 stops its function due to overload, and then moves the moving machine m2 backward to compost on the stirring blade 6 By sliding down the raw material 4a, the situation before the collapse is recovered. In the present invention, in order to slide down the compost raw material 4a more reliably, the stirring blades are used while the compost stirrer M is moved backward or until the motor of the rotating machine m1 is restarted. It is optional to control 6 to rotate in the reverse direction.

制御部C1の動作を説明するフローチャートは、図4に示すとおりである。すなわち、スタートして、まず回動機m1に流れて検出される電流値iと設定電流値i1との大小が演算部c11で比較判断される。次に、検出電流値iが設定電流値i1よりも大きな値であることを条件として、回動機m1及び移動機m2の動作を停止する。検出電流値iが設定電流値i1よりも小さな数値であればスタートに戻る。回動機m1及び移動機m2の動作停止の後、移動機m2による適宜距離の後退指令が出される。移動機m2による適宜距離の後退の後には、まず回動機m1の回動運転が再開され、ここで再び検出電流値iと設定電流値i1との大小比較がなされる。検出電流値iが設定電流値i1よりも小さな値であるときには、移動機m2の運転も再開され、通常の運転状態としてスタートに戻る。検出電流値iが設定電流値i1よりも大きな値であるときには、移動機m2による設定距離の後退へ戻る。   A flowchart for explaining the operation of the controller C1 is as shown in FIG. That is, starting, first, the magnitude of the current value i detected by flowing into the rotating machine m1 and the set current value i1 is compared and determined by the calculation unit c11. Next, on the condition that the detected current value i is larger than the set current value i1, the operations of the rotating machine m1 and the moving machine m2 are stopped. If the detected current value i is a numerical value smaller than the set current value i1, the process returns to the start. After the operation of the rotating machine m1 and the moving machine m2 is stopped, an appropriate distance reverse command is issued by the moving machine m2. After reversing the appropriate distance by the moving machine m2, the turning operation of the turning machine m1 is first restarted, and here the detected current value i and the set current value i1 are compared again. When the detected current value i is smaller than the set current value i1, the operation of the mobile device m2 is resumed and the operation returns to the normal operation state. When the detected current value i is larger than the set current value i1, the process returns to the set distance by the mobile device m2.

本発明に係る攪拌機Mの攪拌羽根6の先端部には、短い鉤爪状突起h1と長い鉤爪状突起h2とをランダムに配置する構成としてもよく、これによって堆肥原料4a、4bの団結塊状化を回避できることは、先に述べた通りである(図6、図7参照)。この短い鉤爪状突起h1、長い鉤爪状突起h2は、汚泥を掻き砕くことができるよう、金属製或は合成樹脂製などの硬質素材により形成されるのが望ましい。なお、本実施例においては長短2種類の鉤爪状突起h1、h2により構成されているが、更に多くの種類の鉤爪状突起によって構成することは任意である。   The tip of the stirring blade 6 of the stirrer M according to the present invention may have a configuration in which short claw-like projections h1 and long claw-like projections h2 are randomly arranged, whereby the compost raw materials 4a and 4b are united into a lump. What can be avoided is as described above (see FIGS. 6 and 7). The short claw-like projections h1 and the long claw-like projections h2 are preferably formed of a hard material such as metal or synthetic resin so that sludge can be crushed. In the present embodiment, it is constituted by two types of claw-like projections h1 and h2 of long and short, but it is arbitrary that it is constituted by more types of claw-like projections.

本発明は、攪拌羽根6の左右端部に上記同様の鉤爪状突起h3を配設する構成としてもよい。この鉤爪状突起h3は、攪拌羽根6と共に一体となって回動することにより発酵槽1の側擁壁面に乾燥粘着している汚泥を剥落させ、上記鉤爪h1、h2と同様に、悪臭発生の防止や堆肥としての品質の向上に資する。   The present invention may be configured such that claw-like projections h3 similar to those described above are disposed on the left and right ends of the stirring blade 6. This claw-like projection h3 rotates integrally with the stirring blade 6 to peel off the sludge adhering to the side retaining wall surface of the fermenter 1 and, like the claw h1 and h2, the generation of malodor is generated. Contributes to prevention and quality improvement as compost.

汚泥の崩落に際し、攪拌機Mの動作を制御してオーバーロードを回避する方法についての説明は上述の通りであるが、一方、発酵槽1内において汚泥が山形状に高く堆積しなければ、そもそも崩落に遭うことはなく、攪拌機Mの継続的な切返し運転を行うことが可能である。   The explanation of the method of controlling the operation of the stirrer M to avoid overloading when sludge collapses is as described above. On the other hand, if sludge does not accumulate in a mountain shape in the fermenter 1, it collapses in the first place. The stirrer M can be continuously turned over.

そこで本発明堆肥原料用スクレーパ装置Sは、このスクレーパ装置Sが自走しながら、或は、自走式の攪拌機Mの前部に一体として備えられて、発酵槽1内に山積した堆肥原料4aを掻き落とし低く均して行くことによって上述の不都合を解消したので、この点について図9〜図11を参照しつつ、以下に説明する。   Therefore, the scraper device S for compost raw material of the present invention is provided with the scraper device S as a self-propelled or integrally provided in the front part of the self-propelled stirrer M, and the compost raw material 4a piled in the fermenter 1 is stacked. Since the above-mentioned inconvenience has been solved by scraping down and smoothing, this point will be described below with reference to FIGS.

図9及び図10において、堆肥原料用スクレーパ装置Sは、前記移動用軌条2に沿って移動可能な支持架構64と、支持架構64に支持部材66によって支持された掻き落としアングル65とから構成される。この支持架構64は駆動機m3を一体に備え、これによりスクレーパ装置Sは移動用軌条2に沿って前後に移動可能である。なお、スクレーパ装置Sの移動する軌条は前記移動用軌条2に限るものではなく、発酵槽1に別途のレールを配設してなすことは任意である。また、自走式の攪拌機Mの前部に一体として配設されるスクレーパ装置Sにおいては、駆動機m3を備えることを要しない。   9 and 10, the compost raw material scraper device S includes a support frame 64 movable along the moving rail 2 and a scraping angle 65 supported on the support frame 64 by a support member 66. The The support frame 64 is integrally provided with a driving machine m3, whereby the scraper device S can be moved back and forth along the moving rail 2. In addition, the rail which the scraper apparatus S moves is not restricted to the said rail 2 for a movement, Arrangement | positioning a separate rail in the fermenter 1 is arbitrary. In addition, the scraper device S disposed integrally with the front portion of the self-propelled stirrer M does not need to include the drive machine m3.

掻き落としアングル65は、水平面に対して適宜角度の傾斜をなしており、最も小さな抵抗で効率よく汚泥を掻き落とすことができるよう設計される。なお、掻き落としアングル65は、原料組成物の特性に応じてその傾斜角度を適宜変更できるよう、傾斜面を可動式に設計することは任意である。また、堆肥原料4aの山を確実に掻き落とせるよう、傾斜面の上端部には汚泥が後方に流れていくのを阻止するための擁壁を設けるのが好ましい。さらに、掻き落としアングル65を前後双方向に向けて配設し、復路においても汚泥の掻き落とし効果を得られるよう構成することは任意である(図11を参照)。   The scraping angle 65 is inclined at an appropriate angle with respect to the horizontal plane, and is designed so that sludge can be scraped off efficiently with the smallest resistance. In addition, it is arbitrary to design the inclined surface to be movable so that the angle of inclination of the scraping angle 65 can be appropriately changed according to the characteristics of the raw material composition. Moreover, it is preferable to provide a retaining wall for preventing sludge from flowing backward at the upper end of the inclined surface so that the pile of the compost raw material 4a can be surely scraped off. Further, it is optional to arrange the scraping angle 65 in both the front and rear directions so that the sludge scraping effect can be obtained even in the return path (see FIG. 11).

本実施例における堆肥原料用スクレーパ装置Sは、前述の通り、駆動機m3によって自走可能である。したがって、スクレーパ装置Sの動作が、切返し運転を行いながら移動用軌条2に沿って自走する堆肥攪拌機Mの動作と干渉して衝突することのないよう、これを制御する必要があるので、その制御方法について以下に説明する。   As described above, the compost raw material scraper device S in this embodiment can be self-propelled by the drive machine m3. Therefore, it is necessary to control this so that the operation of the scraper device S does not interfere with and collide with the operation of the compost stirrer M that is self-propelled along the moving rail 2 while performing the turning operation. A control method will be described below.

図12〜図13は、自走式の攪拌機Mが稼働中であるか否かを当該攪拌機Mからの信号に基づいて判断し、攪拌機Mの稼働時にはスクレーパ装置Sが発酵槽1の前端部まで前進して待機することによって当該攪拌機Mとの衝突を回避するよう制御する堆肥原料用スクレーパ装置Sについて表示している。   12 to 13 determine whether or not the self-propelled stirrer M is operating based on a signal from the stirrer M, and when the stirrer M is operating, the scraper device S reaches the front end of the fermenter 1. A compost raw material scraper device S that controls to avoid collision with the stirrer M by moving forward and waiting is displayed.

このスクレーパ装置Sに備えられた駆動制御部C2(以下、単に制御部C2ともいう)は、堆肥攪拌機Mの稼働状況を知らせる信号を検出する検出部D2と、駆動機m3の運転を制御する出力制御部c21とからなっている。検出部D2は、攪拌機Mから送られた信号によって当該攪拌機Mが稼動中であるか否かを判断し、その結果を出力制御部c21に出力する。攪拌機Mを稼動中と判断すると、出力制御部c21は駆動機m3のモータの運転を停止して、スクレーパ装置Sを発酵槽1の前端部まで前進させ、一時待機状態とさせる。これによって、スクレーパ装置Sと攪拌機Mの挙動が干渉することはなく、衝突を回避できる。また、攪拌機Mを稼働中でないと判断した場合、スクレーパ装置Sによる汚泥の均し運転を継続させるよう制御することも任意である。なお、スクレーパ装置Sが堆肥攪拌機Mの後方で作業を行うときは、発酵槽1の後端部まで後退して待機するようスクレーパ装置Sを制御する。   A drive control unit C2 (hereinafter also simply referred to as a control unit C2) provided in the scraper device S has a detection unit D2 that detects a signal that informs the operating status of the compost stirrer M, and an output that controls the operation of the drive unit m3. It consists of the control part c21. The detection unit D2 determines whether or not the stirrer M is operating based on the signal sent from the stirrer M, and outputs the result to the output control unit c21. When it is determined that the stirrer M is in operation, the output control unit c21 stops the operation of the motor of the driving machine m3, advances the scraper device S to the front end of the fermenter 1, and puts it into a temporary standby state. Thereby, the behavior of the scraper device S and the stirrer M does not interfere with each other, and collision can be avoided. In addition, when it is determined that the stirrer M is not in operation, it is optional to perform control so that the sludge leveling operation by the scraper device S is continued. In addition, when the scraper device S performs work behind the compost stirrer M, the scraper device S is controlled so as to retract to the rear end of the fermenter 1 and wait.

図14〜図15は、対象物距離測定装置Eによりスクレーパ装置Sの後方を自走する堆肥攪拌機Mまでの距離を測定することによって、当該攪拌機Mとの衝突を回避するように駆動制御部C3(以下、単に制御部C3ともいう)により制御される堆肥原料用スクレーパ装置Sについて表示している。   14 to 15 show a drive control unit C3 so as to avoid a collision with the stirrer M by measuring the distance to the compost stirrer M that runs behind the scraper device S by the object distance measuring device E. A compost raw material scraper device S controlled by (hereinafter also simply referred to as a control unit C3) is displayed.

スクレーパ装置Sに備えられた制御部C3は、対象までの距離を測る対象物距離測定装置E及びその測定値dを検出する検出部D3、比較演算の基準とする設定距離の設定部F3、比較演算部c31及び出力制御部c32とから構成される。制御部C3に備えられた対象物距離測定装置Eは後方を自走する堆肥攪拌機Mまでの距離を測定し、測定検出された測定値dは検出部D3から比較演算部c31へと出力されて、スクレーパ装置Sが攪拌機Mと干渉、衝突することのない最小限度の間隔を表わす数値として予め設定部F3において設定した設定値d1と大小比較される。比較演算部c31は、適宜サンプリングタイムで比較演算処理を実行し、その結果を受けた出力制御部c32が駆動機m3のモータの運転を制御管理する。   The control unit C3 provided in the scraper device S includes an object distance measuring device E that measures the distance to the object, a detection unit D3 that detects the measured value d, a set distance setting unit F3 that is used as a reference for comparison calculation, and a comparison It is comprised from the calculating part c31 and the output control part c32. The object distance measuring device E provided in the control unit C3 measures the distance to the compost agitator M that runs rearward, and the measurement value d measured and detected is output from the detection unit D3 to the comparison calculation unit c31. The scraper device S is compared with a set value d1 set in advance in the setting unit F3 as a numerical value representing a minimum interval at which the scraper device S does not interfere with or collide with the agitator M. The comparison calculation unit c31 appropriately executes the comparison calculation process at the sampling time, and the output control unit c32 that receives the result controls and manages the operation of the motor of the driving machine m3.

出力制御部C3は、測定値dが前記設定値d1を上回るときは、駆動機m3の前進運転を維持してスクレーパ装置Sによる汚泥の掻き落とし作業を続行する。一方、測定値dが設定値d1を下回ったときには、駆動機m3の運転を一旦停止した後、スクレーパ装置Sを発酵槽前端部まで前進させる。これによって、スクレーパ装置Sと攪拌機Mの挙動が干渉することはなく、衝突を回避できる。その後、比較演算部c31によって設定値d1と現在の測定距離dとの間で大小比較が行われ、測定値dが設定値d1を上回ることが確認されると、制御部c31は駆動機m3の運転再開の指令を出力して、スクレーパ装置Sによる汚泥の掻き落とし作業を再開させるよう制御することは任意である。   When the measured value d exceeds the set value d1, the output control unit C3 maintains the forward operation of the driving machine m3 and continues the sludge scraping work by the scraper device S. On the other hand, when the measured value d falls below the set value d1, the operation of the drive machine m3 is once stopped, and then the scraper device S is advanced to the front end of the fermenter. Thereby, the behavior of the scraper device S and the stirrer M does not interfere with each other, and collision can be avoided. After that, the comparison operation unit c31 performs a size comparison between the set value d1 and the current measurement distance d, and when it is confirmed that the measurement value d exceeds the set value d1, the control unit c31 controls the driving machine m3. It is optional to output a command for restarting the operation and to control the scraper scraping operation by the scraper device S to be resumed.

上記実施例は、いずれも軌条を自走する攪拌機Mの前方で作業を行うスクレーパ装置Sについての記述であるが、攪拌機Mの後方で作業を行う場合においては、発酵槽1後端部における待機、或は、前進運転の再開に関し制御されるよう構成することも任意である。   Although the said Example is description about the scraper apparatus S which all work in front of the stirrer M which self-propels a rail, when working behind the stirrer M, it waits in the fermenter 1 rear end part. Alternatively, it may be configured to be controlled with respect to resumption of forward operation.

この結果、発酵槽1内において堆積した堆肥原料4aは低く掻き落とされて、団結塊状化した汚泥が攪拌羽根6へ崩落するのを回避できる。また、スクレーパ装置Sが汚泥の高さを均すことによって、一度の発酵処理工程で貯蔵できる堆肥原料4aの投入量を増すことも可能となる。   As a result, the compost raw material 4 a accumulated in the fermenter 1 is scraped down low, and it is possible to avoid the sludge that has become agglomerated slumps falling to the stirring blade 6. In addition, the scraper device S can level the sludge so that the amount of the compost raw material 4a that can be stored in one fermentation process can be increased.

本発明は以上の通りであって、堆肥発酵設備での発酵処理工程において、堆積した汚泥の山が堆肥攪拌機の攪拌羽根上に崩落して回動機に流れる電流値が予め設定した値を超えたときに、攪拌機の前進と攪拌羽根の回動とを停止し、一旦攪拌機を適宜距離後退させることによって原料を攪拌羽根上から滑落させ、攪拌機が過負荷状態から機能を停止してしまうことを回避できるのみならず、各攪拌羽根の先端部に不規則的に配設した長さの不揃いな鉤爪状突起は堆肥原料を満遍無く掻き砕き、汚泥が団結塊となるのを阻止できるため、発酵処理工程が中断されることはなくなり、かつ、一回の発酵処理工程における原料投入量を増加できることから堆肥製造の能率が向上し、また、酸素不足による嫌気的発酵が悪臭や品質低下を招来するといった事態についても完全に防止できるという効果があるから、スクープ式堆肥攪拌機、堆肥原料用スクレーパ装置に適用してきわめて有用である。   The present invention is as described above, and in the fermentation treatment process in the compost fermentation facility, the pile of accumulated sludge collapses on the stirring blades of the compost stirrer and the current value flowing through the rotating machine exceeds a preset value. Sometimes, stop the agitator from moving forward and the rotation of the agitating blade, and once the agitator is moved back by an appropriate distance, the raw material is slid down from the agitating blade, preventing the stirrer from stopping its function from the overload state. Not only can it be made, but the irregular claw-like projections of irregular lengths arranged irregularly at the tip of each stirring blade can crush the compost raw material evenly and prevent sludge from becoming a unity mass. The processing process will not be interrupted, and the raw material input in one fermentation processing process can be increased, so the efficiency of compost production is improved, and anaerobic fermentation due to lack of oxygen leads to bad smell and quality deterioration Toi Also because there is an effect that it completely prevented the state of affairs, scoop composting stirrer, it is extremely useful when applied to compost raw material for the scraper device.
