[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an excrement disposal material used to treat excrement of livestock, pet animals and the like.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As a conventional material for treating excrement, the main raw material such as pulp, which has a high water content, is separated into granular particles such as spherical or cylindrical shapes through holes punched into 7-millimeter angles, and this is separated with hot air into the rotary drum. Those which have been sent and dried and formed into small granules are already known in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 54-17675.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since the conventional excrement disposal materials have a spherical or cylindrical shape, they have a limited adsorption area for urine or feces, and the odor of urine or feces is likely to be emitted.

Further, in the case of drying the water content of the separated small lumps in the rotating drum, in the case of the spherical or cylindrical shape, high heat is required to dry the core.

[0007] Furthermore, cats have a habit of attracting particles with their hind legs in order to hide their excrement, but since the individual nodules have a structure in which they do not get caught on each other, the excrement disposal material pops out of the defecation container, Cleaning was hard.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to improve the adsorption of urine or feces of excrement disposal materials or odors thereof, and to reduce the fuel cost in the drying stage. The purpose is to save money. Further, another object of the present invention is to provide a material for excrement disposal which is hard to pop out from the defecation container. Furthermore, since the unevenness is increased by imitating the shape of a small lump of the excrement disposal material into an animal, a plant, a vehicle, etc., it is possible to improve the above-mentioned effect and meet the taste of the consumer. ..

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Therefore, in order to achieve the above object, the gist of the present invention is that in a material for treating excrement of livestock, pet animals, etc., which is formed by molding a plurality of small pieces from a solid material, the small pieces are At least one recess is formed on the surface of the.

In this case, the small pieces may have a shape imitating an animal.

Further, the small block may have a shape imitating a plant.

Further, the blob may have a shape imitating a vehicle.

[0011]

[Action]

 Therefore, due to at least one or more recesses formed on the surface of the small mass, the adsorption area of urine or feces becomes large, and odors are easily accumulated in the recesses.

Moreover, by providing the concave portion, the heat easily passes into the inside of the small mass, and the small mass can be dried.

Further, since the small pieces have concave portions formed therein, they are easily entangled with each other and are unlikely to scatter.

Furthermore, since the recesses are increased by forming the small pieces into a shape imitating an animal, a plant, or a vehicle, it is possible to meet the taste of the customer while improving the above-mentioned effect.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 7 shows a molding device 1 for excrement disposal material. In this molding device 1, a rotary shaft 3 is inserted in the center of a drum 2 formed in the hollow, and the drum 2 is attached to the rotary shaft 3. The screw 4 having a slight clearance is fixed to the inner wall of the drum 4, and the screw 4 forms a spiral passage 5 in the drum 2.

A raw material 7 for excrement disposal material stored in a hopper 6 connected near the start end of the drum 2 is supplied to the spiral passage 5.

A pulley 8 is fixed to a base end of the rotary shaft 3, and the pulley 8 is connected to a pulley 10 fixed to a drive shaft of a reduction motor 9 via a transmission belt 11. Further, the tip end of the rotary shaft 3 is pivotally supported by a mold plate 12 that closes the end of the drum 2 and has a plurality of mold holes 13 described later.

Therefore, when the deceleration motor 9 starts to rotate, its power is transmitted to the rotary shaft 3 via the pulleys 8 and 10 and the transmission belt 11, and the screw 4 fixed to the rotary shaft 3 rotates. First, the raw material 7 of the excrement disposal material supplied from the hopper 6 to the spiral passage 5 is guided to the tip of the drum 2 by being guided by the screw 4, and a plurality of mold holes 13 formed in the template 12 are formed. Is extruded from.

As the raw material 7 for the excrement-treating material, for example, a substance containing solid matter such as pulp fiber or a fibrous substance similar thereto is used, and inorganic substances such as calcium carbonate, zeolite and clay are mixed in these. Alternatively, a water absorbent such as polymer starch for facilitating passage through the mold cavity 13 of the mold plate 12 may be mixed.

Then, the raw material 7 of the excrement disposal material extruded from the mold cavity 13 is cut into a thickness of about 3 mm to 15 mm by the cutting blade 14 arranged behind the mold plate 12. The plurality of small pieces 15 that have been cut and separated are then sent to the drying process. Although a specific drying means is not described in detail here, it may be dried by, for example, a dryer shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 54-17675.

As shown in FIGS. 1 (a) to 5 (a), the mold hole 13 formed in the mold plate 12 has at least one or more protrusions 16a to 16e with respect to a circular hole. 1A, one protrusion 16a, two protrusions 16b and 16c in FIG. 2A and FIG. 3A, and one protrusion 16b in FIG. 4A. Has three convex portions 16d, and four convex portions 16e are formed in FIG. 5 (a). The difference between the mold cavity 13 of FIG. 2 (a) and the mold cavity 13 of FIG. 3 (a) is that the former has the same size on both sides, with the part narrowed by the two protrusions as the boundary. While the latter has gaps, the latter has gaps of different sizes.

As shown in FIGS. 1 (b) to 5 (b), the small pieces 15 passing through these mold cavities 13 and separated by the cutting blade 14 have at least one recessed portion on the surface thereof. 17a to 17e are formed, and the small block passing through the mold cavity of FIG. 1 (a) has one recess 17a as shown in FIG. 1 (b), and its cross section is substantially the same. It is formed in a U shape. 2 (a) or 3 (a) has passed through the mold cavity and has two recesses 17b and 17c as shown in FIG. 2 (b) and FIG. 3 (b). The small blob that has passed through the mold cavity in (a) has three recesses 17d as shown in FIG. 4 (b), and the small blob that has passed through the mold cavity in FIG. 5 (a) is shown in FIG. 5 (b). As shown in (4), it has four recesses 17e, and the whole is formed in a shape like a tetra pot. The difference between the small blobs 15 in FIG. 2 (b) and the small blobs 15 in FIG. 3 (b) is that the former has a symmetric shape with the part narrowed by the two recesses as a boundary, while the latter has asymmetry. It is in the shape.

Therefore, if the small lumps 15 described above are used, the water of urine or feces is likely to collect in the recesses 17a to 17e, and most of them are absorbed through the recesses 17a to 17e, and the recesses 17a to 17e are also absorbed. Due to the large surface area due to the formation of swelling, odors of urine and feces are absorbed by tens of percent more than conventional small spheres or rods. Moreover, the bad odor of urine and feces is less likely to be diffused by being enclosed in the recesses 17a to 17e.

Further, since the recesses 17a to 17e are provided, a small amount of raw material is required, and about 10% to 20% of the raw material can be saved as compared with the spherical or rod-shaped small mass, and even in the process of drying the small mass 15, Due to the provision of the recesses 17a to 17e, heat can be transferred easily, and the fuel can be saved by about 10% to 20% as compared with the case of drying the spherical or rod-shaped blobs.

Further, since the recesses 17a to 17e are formed and the small mass 15 has a U-shape or a tetrapot-like shape, in addition to the advantage that they are entangled with each other and are less likely to be scattered, It also has the advantage that the weight can be reduced to increase the capacity and the cost can be reduced.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 6 (a), (b) and (c), the small mass 15 has a shape imitating an animal, a plant or a vehicle, so that the number of recesses is increased and the above-mentioned effect is improved. In addition to providing the above-mentioned advantages, it also has the advantage of satisfying the tastes of consumers while maintaining the above advantages.

The shape of the small pieces 15 is arbitrary as long as it has the above-mentioned advantages, and may be a shape imitating the shape of, for example, an aircraft or daily goods not shown in FIG. is there.
