Description

  The present invention relates to a soil reforming apparatus that modifies soil that contains a large amount of moisture and oil or contains impurities such as sludge and obtains soil that can be used for general purposes.

  Of course, land is required to construct a building as well as to form farmland and cultivated land. These sites are often exposed to various environments and may contain a lot of moisture and oil, or may contain impurities such as sludge and organic matter. These soils are difficult to construct as they are and to be used for specific purposes such as farmland and cultivated land. Or soil and sludge from factories and sewage may cause the soil to contain a large amount of impurities.

  If soil containing impurities from these sludge and sewage is left untreated, it may become a foul odor or pollution. Of course, as described above, it is difficult to use for specific purposes or as a construction site. Soil containing a large amount of impurities, moisture, and the like exists also in general places, and it is required to modify these general soils.

  There is a need to effectively and efficiently improve general soil containing impurities that require such modification. This is because if this general soil is left unmodified, as mentioned above, pollution problems will occur or the land will not be used effectively. On the other hand, if general soil is reformed, land can be used effectively and various problems can be solved.

  In the modification of general soil containing impurities, a technique for soil modification using a modifying material such as lime or bentonite has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2004 197047 A

  Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for modifying soil by mixing clay minerals and an amount of lime that can be neutralized into sludge soil containing impurities and contaminants.

  The technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 aims to improve soil by mixing a specific substance that neutralizes these in a state where the soil is generally acidic or alkaline. It is said. These specific substances such as lime are generally used, and the technique of Patent Document 1 proposes a more specific device for using these specific substances.

  As described above, in the prior art, it is common to mix a solid material having the property of modifying with soil. This mixing of the solid material for reforming may be performed at the site that requires soil reforming, or the soil that needs reforming is collected and reformed at a site such as a factory before being put on site. May return.

  However, in the prior art represented by patent document 1, it is necessary to use many modifiers, such as lime and bentonite. There is also a problem that the cost required for soil modification becomes large by using many of these modifying materials. In addition, a cement-based solidifying material may be added as a modifying material, but problems such as elution of hexavalent chromium and the change of soil quality to high alkali may occur. These are elements that need to be taken into consideration in the recent increase in awareness of environmental issues.

  Moreover, since the curing period is required for soil reforming by using the modifying material, there is a problem that the construction period becomes long. If the construction period is long, the construction cost will be high. On the other hand, there are many cases that require soil modification, and there is a demand for efficient and low-cost soil modification. In particular, it is often the administrative district that wants to improve the soil, and since the business operator performs soil modification at the request of the administrative district, it is clear that the construction period and material costs are clear and low for the client as well. It is very suitable.

  Under the circumstances as described above, there is a demand for an efficient and effective soil reforming apparatus that is highly environmentally friendly and has low cost and construction period.

  In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a soil reforming apparatus that is environmentally friendly and realizes low-cost, short-term soil reforming that is efficient and effective.

The soil reforming apparatus of the present invention is generated in a housing unit that houses the soil to be reformed, a combustion device that burns biomass fuel, a heat transfer tube that conveys combustion heat generated in the combustion device to the housing unit, and a housing unit.

  Since the soil reforming apparatus of the present invention performs reforming with a focus on dehydration of water, it does not require many modifying materials such as lime, cement and bentonite. As a result, the cost and work period required for reforming can be reduced. In addition, since many of these modifiers are not required, the problem of impurities and environmentally hazardous substances remaining in the soil can be solved.

  Moreover, the soil reformer of this invention uses biomass fuel as a fuel of combustion heat required for dehydration. When the biomass fuel is burned, ash which is a burnout of the biomass fuel is generated together with the combustion heat, and this ash is also sent to the soil to be reformed together with the combustion heat, so that the soil reforming can be further promoted. In particular, as the ash is sent to the soil together with the combustion heat, the soil undergoes a chemical modification by the combustion ash while undergoing a reduction in moisture and oil due to the dehydration, so that the soil is more fully modified. Is called.

  In addition, combustion equipment and mixing containers are mounted on self-propelled transportation equipment, so that soil modification can be performed in places where there is soil that requires modification. Highly flexible soil improvement can be realized.

  (Embodiment 1)

  First, the general outline of the soil reformer will be described.

(Overview)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a soil reforming apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 1 schematically shows the soil reforming apparatus 1 and shows each necessary element as a block. That is, FIG. 1 shows the concept of the soil reforming apparatus 1 in Embodiment 1, and is actually realized in various forms.

  The soil reforming apparatus 1 includes a housing part 2, a combustion apparatus 3, a heat transfer pipe 5, an exhaust pipe 6, and a connecting part 7. The storage unit 2 stores the soil 10 to be modified. The soil accommodated in the storage unit 2 may be soil that has been transported from a place to be reformed, or the storage unit 2 is installed in a place to be reformed, and The soil which becomes may be thrown into the accommodating part 2.

  The combustion device 3 includes, for example, a combustion burner 4 and burns various fuels to generate combustion heat. At this time, it is preferable that the combustion apparatus 3 uses the biomass fuel 8 for consideration of the environment and promotion of soil reforming. The biomass fuel 8 only needs to be able to be input into the combustion apparatus 3, and the biomass fuel 8 is input into the combustion apparatus 3 manually or automatically.

  The combustion device 3 generates combustion heat by burning biomass fuel. This combustion heat is sent to the heat transfer tube 5 connected to the combustion device 3. The heat transfer tube 5 finally conveys the combustion heat to the housing part 2. The heat transfer tube 5 sends combustion heat to the storage unit 2, evaporates the moisture and oil content of the soil 10 stored in the storage unit 2, and dehydrates and degreases. The heat transfer tube 5 is connected to the housing portion 2, and combustion heat can be sent into the housing portion 2 by this connection.

  In the accommodating part 2, when heat of combustion is applied to the soil 10, moisture and oil are evaporated and exhaust gas is generated. Steam is also generated along with the exhaust gas. These exhaust gas and water vapor have heat, and the container 2 generates exhaust heat by applying combustion heat to the soil. An exhaust pipe 6 is connected to the housing portion 2. The exhaust pipe 6 conveys exhaust heat to the heat transfer pipe 5 via the connecting portion 7. The connecting part 7 mixes the combustion heat from a part of the heat transfer tube 5 connected from the combustion device 3 and the exhaust heat from the exhaust pipe 6 and sends the mixed heat to the heat transfer pipe 5 extending beyond the connecting part 6. As a result, the heat transfer tube 5 extending beyond the connecting portion 6 conveys heat, which is a mixture of combustion heat and exhaust heat, to the housing portion 2. Of course, in the period until the exhaust heat is generated, the heat transfer tube 5 carries only the combustion heat.

  As a result, the heat transfer tube 5 conveys at least one of combustion heat and exhaust heat to the storage unit 2, and the storage unit 2 applies at least one of combustion heat and exhaust heat to the soil 10. The soil 10 can modify the soil quality by reducing the moisture and oil content contained by the applied heat. In particular, not only combustion heat generated by the combustion device 3 but also exhaust heat generated by heating the soil 10 can be effectively used to promote dehydration and degreasing of the soil 10.

(Soil problem)
Here, the problem of soil that requires modification will be described. The inventor analyzed the problems of the soil that needs to be improved while studying and analyzing the problems of the conventional technique for modifying the soil using a solidifying material or the like. The inventor has conceived that soil is not only composed of soil particles but also composed of three elements: soil particles, moisture / oil, and air. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing soil characteristics. As shown in FIG. 2, the soil includes not only soil particles but also three elements: soil particles, moisture / oil, and air. The soil changes its properties by increasing and decreasing the moisture and oil content. That is, if the moisture / oil content increases, the soil becomes loose, and if the moisture / oil content decreases, the soil becomes hard. The improvement of soil is centered on adjusting the characteristics due to the hardness of the soil according to the purpose of use of the soil.

  Based on such analysis results, the inventor has determined the moisture and oil content contained in the soil rather than mainly changing the chemical characteristics of the soil itself by using a solidifying material or the like. It came to the thought that it was suitable to make it mainly reduce. In other words, the inventor can reduce the moisture and oil content in the soil to modify the physical properties of the soil, and then modify the chemical properties using a solidifying material or the like as necessary. The inventors have arrived at the invention as appropriate. In this way, by first modifying the physical properties by reducing the moisture and oil content, the amount of chemical substances used to complete the final reforming is greatly reduced, reducing costs and reducing environmental impact. Will come to be.

  The soil reformer 1 in Embodiment 1 efficiently uses combustion heat and exhaust heat to reduce moisture and oil contained in the soil 10. The soil 10 with reduced moisture and oil content can have sufficient hardness and strength when used in various applications such as factories, cultivated land, and residential land. That is, the soil 10 is modified to be usable. Moreover, the modification | reformation of the soil 10 comes to be completed by providing additionally solidifying materials, such as lime and bentonite, as needed. Of course, as described above, the amount of the solidifying material used in this case can be small.

(Processing procedure)
A procedure for soil reforming using the soil reforming apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment will be described.
The combustion device 3 includes a combustion burner 4 and burns separately prepared biomass fuel 8. The biomass fuel 8 is temporarily stored in a fuel storage unit or the like, and is automatically supplied from the fuel storage unit to the combustion device 3 by an automatic feeding device such as a belt conveyor. Alternatively, the combustion device 3 may include a fuel storage unit, and the combustion burner 4 may burn the biomass fuel 8 stored in the fuel storage unit. Of course, the biomass fuel 8 may be manually charged into the combustion device 3 and the combustion burner 4 may burn this biomass fuel.

  When the combustion device 3 burns the biomass fuel 8, combustion heat is generated. The combustion device 3 and the accommodating portion 2 are connected by a heat transfer tube 5. When the heat transfer tube 5 is a pipe line having an internal space, one opening of the heat transfer tube 5 is connected to the combustion device 3. The combustion device 3 sends combustion heat to this opening. For example, when the combustion burner 4 included in the combustion device 3 has a structure that easily collects combustion heat at the tip, the tip of the combustion burner 4 only needs to face the opening of the heat transfer tube 5. . By this opposition, the combustion device 3 can send the combustion heat to the heat transfer tube 5.

  Alternatively, the combustion device 3 may include a blower fan facing the opening, and the blower fan may send combustion heat to the heat transfer tube 5. As described above, the combustion device 3 not only burns the biomass fuel 8 to generate combustion heat, but also functions to send the combustion heat to the heat transfer tube 5.

  The heat transfer tube 5 conveys combustion heat to the accommodating portion 2 through the internal space. At this time, a connecting portion 7 is provided in the middle of the heat transfer tube 5. The connecting portion 7 connects the exhaust pipe 6 that carries the exhaust heat and the heat transfer pipe 5. The heat transfer tube 5 extends through the connecting portion 7 and then toward the housing portion 2. As shown in FIG.

  The heat transfer tube 5 is connected to the housing portion 2. Similarly to the connection with the combustion device 3, the heat transfer tube 5 has an opening connected to the internal space, and this opening is connected to the housing 2. For this reason, the heat transfer tube 5 sends the combustion heat transported through the internal space, which is a pipe line, into the housing portion 2 from the opening connected to the housing portion 2.

  The storage unit 2 stores the soil 10 to be modified. The combustion heat that has reached the housing part 2 heats the soil 10. By heating, the soil 10 evaporates the contained moisture and oil. That is, the soil 10 proceeds in the direction of drying. In addition, the soil 10 generates exhaust gas by heating by applying combustion heat. This exhaust gas is accompanied by exhaust heat. The exhaust heat further heats the soil 10 in a state where it remains in the housing portion 2.

  The accommodating portion 2 is connected to the exhaust pipe 6. The exhaust pipe 6 is a pipe line having an internal space similarly to the heat transfer pipe 5, and an opening connected to the internal space is connected to the accommodating portion 2. The accommodating portion 2 sends exhaust heat to the exhaust pipe 6 through the opening. Similarly to the combustion device 3, the housing portion 2 includes a blower fan, and exhaust heat may be sent to the exhaust pipe 6 by the function of the blower fan.

  The exhaust pipe 6 is connected to the housing part 2 and the connecting part 7. The exhaust pipe 6 sends exhaust heat to the heat transfer pipe 5 via the connecting portion 7. That is, after the exhaust heat is generated, the heat transfer tube 5 extending from the tip of the connection 7 carries the heat that is a mixture of the combustion heat and the exhaust heat.

  Eventually, the heat transfer tube 5 applies heat, which is a mixture of combustion heat and exhaust heat, to the soil 10. By not only the combustion heat generated in the combustion device 3, heating with higher thermal efficiency and energy saving is performed on the soil 10. By applying mixed heat, drying (dehydration / defatting) of the soil 10 is further promoted. Of course, when the combustion in the combustion device 3 is finished, the drying process of the soil 10 is also finished. For example, when the soil 10 stored in the storage unit 2 is replaced, the combustion in the combustion device 3 is stopped or suppressed. By such drying, excess moisture and oil contained in the soil 10 are reduced, and the soil 10 is improved.

  The soil 10 modified by drying is taken out from the storage unit 2. For example, the storage unit 2 may include an input port and a discharge port, and the soil 10 that has been dried from the discharge port and has undergone the reforming process may be taken out. The taken out modified soil 10 is transported to the necessary land and utilized in the transported land. Further, when the chemical property modification is insufficient only by the modification by the soil reformer 1, further modification may be performed using a modifying material such as lime or bentonite.

  As described above, the soil reforming apparatus 1 according to Embodiment 1 can efficiently reform soil while reducing cost and environmental load.

(Biomass combustion ash)
The combustion device 3 burns the biomass fuel 8 to generate combustion heat. In the combustion in the combustion device 3, combustion ash of the biomass fuel 8 is also generated in addition to the combustion heat. The combustion device 3 can send not only combustion heat but also combustion ash through the heat transfer tube 5. The heat transfer tube 5 can carry the combustion ash delivered from the combustion device 3.

  Combustion ash produced by the combustion of biomass fuel has characteristics such as alkalinity, and this characteristic is suitable for soil reforming. Similar to so-called lime and bentonite, the chemical properties of the soil 10 can be modified. Since the combustion apparatus 3 uses the biomass fuel 8 as a fuel for combustion, the combustion ash after combustion is an ideal ash with almost no mixing of additives and chemical substances. The combustion device 3 can carry the combustion ash to the storage unit 2 through the heat transfer tube 5 with the wind pressure due to combustion, and add the combustion ash to the soil 10.

  The container 2 adds the transported combustion ash to the soil 10. The storage unit 2 naturally adds combustion heat to the soil 10 to dry the soil 10. As the soil 10 dries, combustion ash is added to the soil 10. As described above, the combustion ash is burnt residue generated after combustion of the natural material, so that characteristics such as alkalinity can be imparted to the soil 10. As a result, the same effect as that provided by the modifier used in the prior art is produced.

  The soil reforming apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment can realize not only dehydration and degreasing of the soil 10 by combustion heat (and exhaust heat) but also chemical reforming by combustion ash simultaneously. This simultaneous progression can achieve modification to physical and chemical properties.

  Of course, the combustion ash may be applied to the soil 10 simultaneously with the combustion heat, or may be applied to the soil 10 following the combustion heat. It does not specifically limit about the aspect to which combustion ash is provided.

(Heating steam)
The exhaust pipe 6 conveys exhaust heat generated in the housing part 2, mixes combustion heat and exhaust heat in the heat transfer pipe 5, and applies stronger heat to the housing part 2. This exhaust heat is caused by exhaust gas generated by heating the soil 10.

  This exhaust gas contains water vapor generated by evaporation of moisture. The accommodating portion 2 can send water vapor to the exhaust pipe 6 as the exhaust heat is sent to the exhaust pipe 6. This is because water vapor is a gas and is pushed out to the exhaust pipe 6 together with the exhaust heat. The exhaust pipe 6 conveys this water vapor to the connecting portion 7.

  Combustion heat conveyed through the heat transfer tube 5 reaches the connecting portion 7. This combustion heat heats the steam transported from the exhaust pipe 6 at the connecting portion 7. By this heating, the water vapor is changed to heated steam. Heated steam has strong thermal properties. The heat transfer tube 5 that extends from the connecting portion 7 carries heated steam having strong thermal properties to the housing portion 2. By this transportation, the accommodation unit 2 is given heat in which combustion heat, exhaust heat, and heating steam are mixed. By applying this heat, dehydration and degreasing of the soil 10 is further promoted.

  In particular, the heating steam not only has a strong thermal property, but also acts to weaken the viscosity of the substance while changing the physical characteristics of the substance. The action of weakening the viscosity further facilitates the drying of the soil 10. That is, each of the soil particles constituting the soil 10 is separated by the heating steam. This is because the mixed heat of combustion heat and exhaust heat is added to each of the separated soil particles and dried. Of course, the heat from the heating steam also causes the soil 10 to dry itself.

  Thus, the soil reformer 1 further advances the drying of the soil 10 to be reformed by the combination of the separation of the soil particles of the soil 10 by the heating steam and the dehydration / degreasing by the combustion heat and the exhaust heat, and the physical Can be improved. Of course, as described above, the chemical properties can be improved by the combustion ash. Moreover, even if the soil reforming is insufficient with the soil reforming apparatus 1 alone, it is sufficient to add a small amount of the modifying material. Therefore, unlike the prior art, the cost and environmental load can be reduced.

  As described above, the heat transfer tube 5 conveys not only combustion heat but also (1) exhaust heat, (2) combustion ash, and (3) heated steam to the storage unit 2. By transporting them, the storage unit 2 can realize physical property modification and chemical property modification such as drying of the soil 10.

  Next, the detail of each part is demonstrated.

(Container)
The accommodating part 2 accommodates the soil 10 to be modified. The accommodating part 2 is a box which has the internal space which is a container aspect or a box aspect, for example. By having the door that can be opened and closed, the storage unit 2 can put the soil 10 into the internal space.

  Here, the soil 10 may be passively put into the storage unit 2 by a belt conveyor or a heavy machine. Or the accommodating part 2 may take in in an inside like scraping out soil from the ground. For example, an excavator provided in a heavy machine is attached to the bottom surface of the storage unit 2, and the excavator takes in the soil below it from the bottom surface of the storage unit 2. Since the accommodating part 2 has such a function, the accommodating part 2 can accommodate soil in a required place.

  When the container 2 has such a function of taking in the soil by itself, the soil reformer 1 moves to the area where the soil requiring the modification exists and reforms on the spot. The target soil can be stored in itself. As a result, the heavy machinery and work for taking in the soil 10 to the accommodating part 2 can be simplified.

  Or the accommodating part 2 has a door in its upper part, scrapes the soil of the ground with the shovel provided, and may take in the soil 10 into the inside from a door.

  The accommodating portion 2 may have various shapes as long as it has an internal space. Various shapes such as a box shape, an oval shape, a cylinder, and a prism may be selected. Moreover, since the accommodating part 2 has internal space and provides heat to the soil 10 accommodated in this internal space, it is suitable that the circumference | surroundings are closed or closed. It is.

  The accommodating part 2 provides combustion heat and exhaust heat to the soil 10 accommodated therein. That is, the soil 10 can be at a high temperature. For this reason, since internal space can also become high temperature, it is suitable for the accommodating part 2 to be formed with a raw material with high heat insulation and heat resistance. It is suitable to be formed of metal or alloy.

  Moreover, since the accommodating part 2 is connected with the heat exchanger tube 5 and the exhaust pipe 6, it is also suitable to provide an opening part as needed in the connection part with these. Of course, if the heat transfer pipe 5 or the exhaust pipe 6 is not a pipe line but a bar member that conducts heat, a connection part may be provided instead of an opening.

  The storage capacity of the storage unit 2 is determined depending on the amount of soil 10 to be stored and the installation location. It is also preferable that the accommodating part 2 is divided into a plurality of units, and the capacity can be flexibly accommodated by connecting the units depending on the amount of soil 10 to be accommodated.

  Moreover, it is also suitable that the storage unit 2 has a stirring function of stirring the soil 10. FIG. 1 shows that the container 2 has a stirring claw 21. The stirring claw 21 is stirred by mixing the soil 10. By the stirring, combustion heat and exhaust heat enter the soil 10 together with a lot of air, and the soil 10 becomes easier to dry. In addition, the combustion ash can easily enter the soil 10 and the reforming can proceed more easily. The stirring claw 21 can stir the soil 10 by rotating to stir the soil 10. In particular, it is also appropriate to increase the stirring ability by rotating the stirring claw 21 obliquely with respect to the soil 21. Or the stirring claw 21 has a gearwheel or screw shape, and it is also suitable to stir the soil 10 according to rotation of a gearwheel or a screw.

  The agitation claw 21 or the like that realizes the agitation function may protrude from the bottom surface of the housing part 2, or may protrude from the side surface or the upper surface. What is necessary is just an aspect in which heat is applied to the soil 10 while stirring the contained soil 10.

  In addition, it is also preferable that the housing portion 2 includes a blower fan so that exhaust heat and water vapor can be easily sent to the exhaust pipe 6.

(Combustion device)
The combustion device 3 burns the biomass fuel 8 to generate combustion heat. The combustion apparatus 3 includes a combustion burner 4, and biomass fuel 8 is input into the combustion burner 4 to perform combustion. The biomass fuel 8 may be manually input, or may be transported by a power source such as a bell and a conveyor and input to the combustion burner 4.

  The combustion device 3 burns the biomass fuel 8 at a predetermined temperature. The predetermined temperature may be a temperature sufficient to burn the biomass fuel 8 and is determined according to the type and amount of the biomass fuel 8 and the characteristics of the combustion burner 4.

  The combustion burner 4 has, for example, a cylindrical outer shape, and this cylindrical shape has a structure that easily releases combustion heat toward the tip. This structure makes it easy for the combustion burner 4 to release combustion heat to the tip. The combustion device 3 sends the combustion heat that is easily released from the tip of the combustion burner 4 to the heat transfer tube 5. At this time, the combustion apparatus 3 includes a blower fan, and it is also preferable that combustion heat is easily sent to the heat transfer tube 5 by the blower fan.

  The combustion device 3 and the combustion burner 4 do not need to be grasped as separate elements, but are for convenience of explanation. In short, the combustion device 3 may burn the biomass fuel 8 to generate combustion heat. Various types of biomass fuel 8 may be used. For example, wood chips, bamboo chips, bioethanol fuel and biodiesel fuel.

(Heat transfer tube)
The heat transfer tube 5 conveys the combustion heat generated in the combustion device 3 to the storage unit 2. The heat transfer tube 5 is connected to the exhaust pipe 6 by a connecting portion 7. For this reason, in the connection part 7, it is divided into the combustion apparatus 3 side and the accommodating part 2 side. Even if divided in this way, it is not necessary to be a different member or a different material. Further, it is not necessary to be separately grasped as an element of the invention.

  The heat transfer pipe 5 may be a pipe-shaped pipe having an internal space. In the case of a pipe-shaped pipeline, the combustion heat that has become hot air moves through this internal space. In the case of a pipe line, the heat transfer tube 5 can carry the combustion heat in the state of a gas such as hot air, so that the efficiency is good. In the case of a pipe line, the heat transfer tube 5 is also efficient in that respect because the combustion ash can be transported in accordance with the combustion heat.

  When the heat transfer tube 5 is a pipe line, the heat transfer tube 5 has an opening at the end, the opening at one end is connected to the combustion device 3, and the other opening is connected to the housing 2. Of course, the connection part 7 is also connected. The opening of the heat transfer tube 5 receives combustion heat and combustion ash and transports them through the internal space.

  Further, the heat transfer tube 5 may be a rod-like member having a high thermal conductivity instead of a pipe line. That is, it may be a frame made of a metal, an alloy, or the like, and the heat transfer tube 5 can carry the combustion heat due to its high thermal conductivity. In this case, there is a problem that it is difficult to transport the combustion ash, but there is also an advantage that the structure is simple and construction and installation are easy.

  In addition, the heat exchanger tube 5 may be provided not only with one but with two or more. By becoming more than one, conveyance of combustion heat becomes easier and reforming of the soil 10 is promoted.

(Exhaust pipe)
The exhaust pipe 6 conveys exhaust heat based on the exhaust gas generated by applying heat to the soil 10 of the housing unit 2. Exhaust gas is generated by applying heat to the soil 10. The exhaust gas has a certain amount of heat and generates exhaust heat. The exhaust pipe 6 conveys the exhaust heat and mixes the exhaust heat with the combustion heat at the connecting portion 7.

  In addition, when heat is applied to the soil 10, the moisture in the soil 10 evaporates and water vapor is generated. The exhaust pipe 6 also carries this water vapor. Steam is mixed with combustion heat in the connecting portion 7 to become heated steam, and is finally supplied from the heat transfer tube 5 to the housing portion 2 together with the combustion heat and exhaust heat.

  The exhaust pipe 6 is connected to the accommodating portion 2 in order to carry exhaust heat and water vapor in this way. As with the heat transfer tube 5, it may be a pipe line or a rod-shaped member. However, it is preferably a conduit so that water vapor can be transported. This is because the exhaust heat and water vapor can be combined and transported to the connecting portion 7 by being a pipe line.

  The exhaust pipe 6 is connected to the heat transfer pipe 5 at the connection portion 7, and exhaust heat and water vapor are mixed with the heat transfer pipe 5 on the front side of the connection portion 7. Here, the exhaust pipe 6 may be composed of the same member at least partially as the heat transfer pipe 5. Of course, it may be constituted by another member as shown in FIG. When constituted by the same member, a part of the pipeline may be connected.

(Connecting part)
The connecting portion 7 connects the exhaust pipe 6 and the heat transfer pipe 5 and finally mixes with the heat transfer pipe 5. That is, combustion heat and exhaust heat are mixed. As a result, heat in a state where the combustion heat and the exhaust heat are mixed is conveyed in the heat transfer tube 5 extending beyond the connecting portion 7.

  The connecting part 7 connects the heat transfer pipe 5 and the exhaust pipe 6, but it is also preferable that the connecting part with the exhaust pipe 6 can be opened and closed. The connecting portion 7 is connected to the opening of the heat transfer tube 5 and the opening of the exhaust pipe 6. For this reason, the connection part with this opening part is a connection part. The connection part 7 can open and close a connection part with the exhaust pipe 6 among the connection parts. When it is desired to mix the exhaust heat and water vapor from the exhaust pipe 6 with the combustion heat, this connecting portion is opened. On the other hand, when it is desired to reform the soil 10 only with combustion heat, the connection portion with the exhaust pipe 6 is closed.

  Thus, the connection part can be opened and closed, so that heat can be applied to the soil 10 in various patterns. This is because, depending on the properties of the soil 10, only combustion heat may be good, and exhaust heat or heating steam may be preferably applied, and it is preferable to be flexible.

  As described above, the soil reforming apparatus 1 according to Embodiment 1 pays attention to the mechanism of soil reforming and does not require a large amount of modifying material. As a result, it is possible to improve the soil by reducing the environmental load while reducing the cost and construction period.

  (Embodiment 2)

Next, a second embodiment will be described.
In the second embodiment, a case where a special device is used as the combustion device 3 will be described. FIG. 3 is a side view of the combustion apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. FIG. 3 shows the internal structure of a combustion apparatus 30 as an example of the combustion apparatus 3.

  The combustion device 30 is open at the front and closed at the rear. The amount of heat burned in the front of the opening is dissipated, and the biomass fuel 8 and air are taken in in the rear of the opening.

  The main body cylinder 29 includes an outer cylinder 32 and an inner cylinder 33 that can be rotated coaxially, and has a double structure in which the outer cylinder 32 covers the periphery of the inner cylinder 33 with a certain gap. Since the main body cylinder 29 is rotatable, the inner cylinder 33 is rotated. By this rotation, the internal space of the inner cylinder 33 can also be rotated. By rotation, the biomass fuel 8 stored in the internal space of the inner cylinder 33 can rotate while burning, so that air and flame can be in contact with the biomass fuel 8 evenly, and primary combustion in the inner cylinder 33 is promoted.

  A combustion cylinder 35, which is the same cylinder, is connected to the opening of the main body cylinder 29. Since the combustion cylinder 35 is connected in a state of being connected to the outer cylinder 32, one end of the gap generated between the inner cylinder 33 and the outer cylinder 32 is connected to the internal space of the combustion cylinder 35 as it is. The combustion cylinder 35 captures the physical increase of the combustor after the primary combustion due to the mass decrease and the temperature increase, and burns the biomass fuel 8 at a higher temperature.

  Here, the main body cylinder 29 and the combustion cylinder 35 have an upward inclination with respect to the horizontal plane. Here, upward refers to a state in which the opening of the combustion cylinder 35 faces upward.

  By having such an inclination, the biomass fuel 8 combusted at a predetermined temperature in the inner space of the inner cylinder 33 is reduced in mass, and thus easily moves upward. Since the combustion cylinder 35 is located above, the combustion cylinder 35 burns the biomass fuel 8 that has moved. That is, secondary combustion is performed.

  Here, a gap between the outer cylinder 32 and the inner cylinder 33 becomes a ventilation path 37. The ventilation path 37 supplies the air taken in from the air supply port 45 to the internal space of the inner cylinder 33 and the internal space of the combustion cylinder 35. Here, the supply port 45 is connected to the outside world, takes air from the outside world, and sends the air to the ventilation path 37 via the ventilation port 38. The ventilation path 37 moves the supplied air, supplies a part thereof to the internal space of the inner cylinder 33, and supplies the rest to the internal space of the combustion cylinder 35.

  The inner cylinder 33 includes a blowout port 40 on the outer periphery thereof. Since the blowing port 40 communicates with the ventilation path 37, the air passing through the ventilation path 37 leaks from the blowing port 40 and is sent into the internal space of the inner cylinder 33. That is, the ventilation path 37 supplies air to the internal space of the inner cylinder 33 through the outlet 40.

  On the other hand, the tip of the ventilation path 37 is directly connected to the combustion cylinder 35. For this reason, the ventilation path 37 supplies air to the internal space of the combustion cylinder 35 from the tip. The ventilation path 37 supplies 30% to 50% of the total amount of air that can be taken in from the outside (that is, can be supplied to the combustion device 6) to the internal space of the inner cylinder 33. On the other hand, the ventilation path 37 supplies 50 to 70% of the total air amount to the internal space of the combustion cylinder 35. That is, the amount of air supplied to the combustion cylinder 35 is larger than the amount of air supplied to the inner cylinder 33. As a result, the amount of air supplied to the combustion cylinder 35 that performs secondary combustion that needs to be combusted at a higher temperature increases, and secondary combustion is optimally performed.

  The ratio of the supply amount to the inner cylinder 33 and the supply amount to the combustion cylinder 35 by the ventilation path 37 can be adjusted as appropriate by adjusting the position, number, opening area, shape, angle, and the like of the outlet 40. . For example, in the comparison of the total opening area of the outlet 40 and the total opening area where the ventilation path 37 and the combustion cylinder 35 are connected, if the latter is made larger than the former, the amount of air supplied to the internal space of the inner cylinder 33 Rather, the amount of air supplied to the internal space of the combustion cylinder 35 can be adjusted to be larger.

  Combustion device 6 is supplied with 30 to 50% of the total amount of air and is supplied with 50% to 70% of the total amount of air following the primary combustion in inner cylinder 33 physically located below and the primary combustion. In addition, the biomass fuel 8 is reliably burned by the continuity with the secondary combustion of the combustion cylinder 35 physically located above the inner cylinder 33. With this reliable combustion, the organic waste is completely ashed and converted into inorganic waste. Of course, high combustion heat can be generated and the combustion heat can be released to the outside through the opening at the tip of the combustion cylinder 35. In addition, combustion ash that has become inorganic waste can also be released.

  The released combustion heat and combustion ash are transported to the accommodating portion 2 via the heat transfer tube 5. Thus, since the combustion apparatus 3 has a structure like the combustion apparatus 30, the biomass fuel 8 is burned with high efficiency, so that the combustion heat can be transported to the storage unit 2 with high efficiency, and the soil 10. Can be efficiently modified.

  (Embodiment 3)

  Next, Embodiment 3 will be described.

  In Embodiment 3, when at least one of the elements constituting the soil reformer 1 is mounted, the soil reformer 1 can move to a place where there is soil that can be self-propelled and needs to be reformed Will be explained.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a soil reforming apparatus according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.
The soil reforming apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 4 is mounted on a mounting apparatus 100. An accommodation unit 2, a heat transfer pipe 5, an exhaust pipe 6, and a combustion apparatus 3, which are at least one of elements constituting the soil reforming apparatus 1, are mounted on the mounting apparatus 100. The mounting device 100 includes a driving device 101 and wheels 102 that cause the driving device 101 to travel. That is, the mounting device 100 is a transport vehicle such as a trailer.

  The mounting device 100 has the same configuration as the trailer loading portion, and can mount the elements of the soil reforming device 1. By the driving device 101 and the wheel 102, the mounting device 100 can move in a state where the soil reforming device 1 is mounted. For example, move to land that requires soil modification. The mounting apparatus 100 moves the soil reforming apparatus 1 to the land where the soil reforming is necessary, and executes the soil reforming work by the processing procedure as described in the first and second embodiments. .

  At this time, the soil reforming apparatus 1 may be modified on the soil 10 while being mounted on the mounting apparatus 100, or may be lowered from the mounting apparatus 100 to modify the soil 10.

  While being mounted on the mounting apparatus 100, the soil reforming apparatus 1 stores the soil 10 taken out with a power shovel or the like in the storage unit 2. Thereafter, the soil 10 is modified by the procedure described in the first and second embodiments. As described above, the work is performed efficiently while being mounted.

  On the other hand, there is also a merit that work safety and reliability can be achieved when the soil reforming apparatus 1 executes processing after being unloaded from the mounting apparatus 100.

  In any case, since the soil reformer 1 is transported to the land that requires soil reforming, the soil reforming that requires soil reforming is efficiently performed. In particular, since soil modification required in various places is efficiently performed, the construction period and cost required for soil modification are reduced. As a result, various land uses can be planned.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the flow of combustion heat and exhaust heat may be reversed. FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the soil reforming apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Similar to the soil reforming apparatus shown in FIG. 4, it can be self-propelled by being mounted on the mounting apparatus 100.

  In the soil reformer 1 shown in FIG. 5, the combustion heat generated in the combustion device 3 is conveyed from the heat transfer tube 5 to the housing portion 2 through the heat transfer tube 5 and the connecting portion 7 according to the arrow. For this reason, the combustion heat first enters the housing part 2. With this combustion heat, the soil 10 is dried, exhaust gas is generated, and water vapor and exhaust heat are generated. The water vapor and exhaust heat are sent out from the exhaust pipe 6 installed on the opposite side of the heat transfer pipe 5 in the housing portion 2. The exhaust pipe 6 is connected to the connecting portion 7 in the opposite direction to the case of FIG. 4, mixed with the combustion heat in the connecting portion 7, and transported from the heat transfer tube 5 to the accommodating portion 2 again. Thus, the same effect can be obtained even if the transport path of the exhaust heat and the combustion heat is opposite to that in the case of FIG.

(Other application examples)
Moreover, it is also suitable that the soil improvement apparatus 1 of this invention is applied to a structure as shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a soil reforming apparatus according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. The soil reformer 1 shown in FIG. 6 is a soil reformer 1 that can be self-propelled (of course, does not have to be self-propelled), like the soil reformer 1 shown in FIG. The elements and basic performance are as described in the first to third embodiments.

  The soil reformer 1 shown in FIG. 6 sends the evaporated gas generated in the storage unit 2 to the combustion device 3 through the exhaust pipe 6. In the accommodating part 2, the water | moisture content and oil content of soil evaporate with the combustion heat provided from the combustion apparatus 3, and combustible gas (petroleum, benzene, etc.) is also generated in this evaporation. The exhaust pipe 6 sends these combustible gases to the combustion device 3. That is, the exhaust pipe 6 returns the combustible gas generated by the combustion to the combustion device 3.

  The combustion device 3 can promote combustion in the combustion device 3 by reusing the combustible gas. The soil 10 often contains various fossil fuels and synthetic fuels, and there is an advantage that the fuel efficiency of the soil reformer 1 is further increased by gasifying these fuels and reusing them for combustion.

  Further, it is possible to balance the atmospheric pressure at the connecting portion 7 or the like.

  Of course, it is also suitable to balance the atmospheric pressure between the respective elements by providing an atmospheric pressure adjusting valve or the like in the recirculation of the combustible gas. The safety in use of the soil reforming apparatus 1 is enhanced by taking such a pressure balance between the elements. In particular, the combustible gas generated by the evaporation of the oil content of the soil 10 is returned to the combustion device 3 so that an unexpected accident or problem due to the combustible gas can be solved in advance.

  With such a soil reformer 1, combustion efficiency and fuel efficiency can be improved and soil can be reformed.

      (Experimental result)

  Next, actual experimental results will be described.

(Experiment 1)
In Experiment 1, the difference in moisture content was confirmed when the soil collected as the sample target was treated by the soil reformer 1 described in the first and second embodiments. As an experimental procedure, the soil collected from the predetermined land was divided into the soil before and after the treatment by the soil reformer 1, and the water content was measured.

  Based on the difference in moisture content before and after the treatment, it was confirmed that the reforming proceeded by the treatment by the soil reformer 1. The experimental results are shown in FIG. FIG. 7 is a table showing the experimental results of Experiment 1 of the present invention.

  In order to increase the accuracy of the experiment, the experiment was performed on the same day and in the same weather before and after the treatment. In addition, experiments were conducted over multiple days. Note that the dates shown in the table of FIG. 7 are all 2011.

  On October 28, before and after treatment (in the table, it is described as pre- and post-treatment, this means pre-treatment and post-treatment), the moisture content in the same soil is 1. It has decreased by 1%. Similarly, also on October 29, when soil reforming is performed using the soil reforming apparatus 1, the moisture content of the soil is reduced by 2.4%. Similarly, in experiments conducted on other days, a decrease in water content of 2.7% was confirmed.

  As can be seen from the results of these experiments 1, the soil moisture content is lowered by the soil reformer 1. The fact that the moisture content is lowered in this way indicates that the moisture / oil content contained in the soil is decreasing. Soil with reduced moisture content is easy to use for various purposes, such as construction land and cultivated land.

  Thus, even if paying attention only to the moisture content, it can be seen that the soil reformer 1 can perform reforming to reduce the moisture and oil content of the soil.

(Experiment 2)
In Experiment 2, a change in PH value was tested.

  The soil collected from a specific place was treated with the soil reformer 1. It was confirmed in Experiment 2 that the Ph value was lowered by this treatment. The results of Experiment 2 are shown below.

Temperature PH
After adding cement-based solidifying material 19 12.5
One heat treatment 43 11.4
2 times 44 10.5
3 times 45 9.9

  As can be seen from the results of Experiment 2, it can be seen that the soil reforming apparatus 1 has a higher effect of improving the Ph value due to drying and combustion ash than when only the cement-based solidifying material is added. By improving the Ph value, it is naturally possible to use it for various purposes as soil. Also from the result of Experiment 2, the soil improvement effect of the soil reformer 1 is clear.

  From Experiment 1 and Experiment 2 described above, the soil reformer 1 can realize both improvement of moisture and oil content and improvement of the Ph value. Since both of these can be realized, the soil can be modified without using a large amount of modifying material.

  As mentioned above, the soil improvement apparatus demonstrated by Embodiment 1-3 is an example explaining the meaning of this invention, and includes the deformation | transformation and remodeling in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention.
