A wheel 300 is provided. The stirrer 3 is moved so that the length of the long side of the stirrer main body 30 is equal to that of each of the tank portions 10 and 10a so that the stirrer 3 can be moved to correspond to both the one tank portion 10 and the other tank portion 10a. It is set to approximately the same width. The stirrer 3 uses a well-known technology, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The operation of the transfer table 2, the movement of the stirrer 3, the rotation (stop) of the stirring claw 32, and the lifting and lowering are controlled by one operation control device.

(Operation) A method of using and an operation of the compost manufacturing apparatus shown in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Each of the tank portions 10 and 10a of the stirring tank 1 stores livestock dung, which is an object to be processed. Animal dung is composted as follows. First, by operating the operation control device, the transfer table 2 is moved to the end side of the stirring tank 1 (the side where both side walls 101 are extended), and the stirrer 3 is further moved to a position corresponding to one of the tank sections 10. Move. This operation is unnecessary if the transfer table 2 and the stirrer 3 have already been installed at the positions described above.

Subsequently, by operating the operation control device, the stirring claw 32 of the stirrer 3 is rotated to move the transfer table 2 along the length direction of the stirring tank 1. When the transfer table 2 runs on the running rail 103, the animal droppings are stirred by the stirring claws 32. At this time, the rotation speed of the stirring claw 32 is preferably set in a range of 15 to 50 rpm. More specifically, it is preferable to set within the range of 20 to 40 rpm. However, the rotation speed of the stirring claw 32 is not limited to this, and can be set as appropriate. In addition, the rotation direction of the stirring claw 32 is set to a direction in which the dung is lifted upward from below. However, it can also be rotated in the opposite direction. In addition, the direction of rotation can be changed between going forward and returning. The traveling speed of the transfer stand 2 is preferably set within a range of 1 to 5 m / sec. More specifically, it is preferable to set within the range of 1 to 2 m / sec. However, the traveling speed of the transition table 2 is not limited to this, and can be set as appropriate.

The transfer stand 2 travels, and the feces are scraped up by the stirring claws 32 and agitated, whereby air is taken into the accumulated feces. This promotes fermentation by aerobic bacteria and produces compost.

The transfer table 2 arriving at the end opposite to the stirring tank 1 while stirring is returned while stirring the livestock and feces in the tank section 10 while keeping the rotation as it is. When the transfer table 2 returns to the position on the original end side, the processing for the tank section 10 is completed.

Subsequently, in order to perform processing on the other tank portion 10 a, the stirrer 3 is moved in the width direction while the transfer table 2 is moved to the end side (the side where both side walls 101 are extended). Move to the next. The stirrer 3 moves by rotating the wheels 300 on the moving rail 203. At this time, the stirrer 3 can be moved so that the partition 102 is not obstructed and does not get in the way because the transfer table 2 is moved toward the end of the stirring tank 1 where both side walls 101 are extended. Therefore, when there is no animal droppings at the end of the stirring tank 1, the stirrer 3 can move without raising the stirring claw 32. Further, even when there is animal dung on the end side, the stirrer 3 can be moved by raising the stirring claw 32 so that it does not hit the animal dung. Also in this case, the rising height for raising the stirring claw 32 can be reduced.

The transfer table 2 is supported by a single wheel 202 mounted on the running rail 103 of the partition wall 102 when the both side walls 101 of the stirring tank 1 are moved toward the extended end. Since it is in the state, bending can be suppressed. Thus, the transition table 2 does not need to have a large rigidity, and can be reduced in weight and cost.

The movement of the stirrer 3 is electrically performed by operating the operation control device. However, the movement of the stirrer 3 is not limited to this. For example, the stirrer 3 can be moved by pushing by hand. . When the stirrer 3 is moved between the tank portions, it is desirable to stop the rotation of the stirring claw 32 for safety. However, stopping the rotation at this time is not limited. In this embodiment, the stirrer 3 is moved while one wheel 202 is mounted on the traveling rail 103 of the partition wall 102 as described above. However, the movement is not limited. In the case where there are no wheels, it is also possible to carry out the operation with the wheels 202 mounted only on the running rails 103 on both side walls 101.

The stirrer 3 moved to the position corresponding to the other tank unit 10 a operates the operation control device to rotate the stirring claw 32 of the stirrer 3, as in the case of the one tank unit 10. 2 is run along the length direction of the stirring tank 1. Then, when the vehicle reaches the opposite end and is returned to the original end position, the processing for one and the other tanks 10 and 10a is completed. The animal dung contained in the tanks 10 and 10a is composted by repeatedly performing the above-described processing.

The compost production apparatus T can stir the object to be processed accommodated in the tanks 10 and 10a by the stirrer 3 which can move between the tanks 10 and 10a. (A plurality of tank sections can be handled by one stirrer and one operation control device.) In the case of those having the same processing capacity, the number of the stirrers 3 can be reduced. The cost of the apparatus can be reduced as compared with the related art.

Further, the compost manufacturing apparatus T forms a plurality of tank portions 10 and 10 a by dividing one stirring tank 1 by partition walls 102, and the stirrer 3 is movable between the tank portions 10 and 10 a (one of the tank portions 10 and 10 a). (It is not provided with one stirrer for the tank portion), so that it can be installed without providing a gap between the adjacent tank portions 10 and 10a. For this reason, devices with the same processing capacity can be installed in a smaller space than before.

Further, the compost production apparatus T can perform operations such as traveling of the transfer table 2, movement of the stirrer 3, rotation (stop) of the stirring claw 32, and elevating and lowering, with one operation control device. Operation errors are less likely to occur.

In the present embodiment, both side walls 101 at one end of the stirring tank 1 are provided in an extended manner. For example, when moving in the width direction, the stirring shaft 31 is raised to move the partition 102 If both sides are not obstructed, the side walls 101 can be made substantially the same length as the partition walls 102 without being extended. In this case, since the wheels 202 do not come off the traveling rail 103, the weight and cost of the transfer stand 2 can be further reduced.

In the present embodiment, the stirrer 3 reciprocates in one tank unit 10 and then reciprocates in the other tank unit 10 a to perform the treatment. After reciprocating the unit 10 a plurality of times, the other tank unit 10a may be processed. Also, for example, the processing is performed on one of the tanks 10 at the time of going, and is moved in the width direction when reaching one end to the other end, and the processing is performed on the other tank 10a at the time of returning. You can also. In this case, the other end of the stirring tank 1 can be provided by extending both side walls 101.

In the present embodiment, the transfer table 2 is configured such that the wheels 202 travel on the traveling rails 103 and the stirrer 3 is moved by moving the wheels 300 on the moving rails 203. The means for moving 3 is not limited to this. For example, chains and crawlers can be used.

In the present embodiment, the stirring tank 1 is shown to be provided with the two tank sections 10 and 10a. However, the number of the tank sections in the stirring tank 1 is not limited to this, and is not less than three. A tank section can be provided. In addition, a plurality of transfer tables provided with a stirrer can be provided for one stirring tank.

A plurality of stirring tanks having a plurality of tank sections can be installed in a manufacturing plant in a state of being arranged substantially in parallel.

In the present embodiment, operations such as traveling of the transfer stand 2, movement of the stirrer 3, rotation (stop) of the stirring claw 32, and elevating / lowering can also be performed by automatic control that is moved as predetermined. .

The terms and expressions used herein are intended to be illustrative only, and not limiting, and are equivalent to the features and some of the features described herein. There is no intention to exclude terms or expressions. It goes without saying that various modifications are possible within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
