Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a compost fermenter for promoting the fermentation of organic matter such as fallen leaves, livestock manure and sludge.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As is well known, if the organic matter is naturally fermented and composted, it will take a long time, so there is a device for promoting the fermentation of the organic matter.

FIG. 6 shows an example of this type of conventional device. In this apparatus, the organic matter 62 is stirred by accumulating the organic matter 62 in the tank 61 and moving the paddle 63 in the tank 61 while rotating the paddle 63. By this agitation, air is mixed with the organic matter 62, and aerobic fermentation is promoted. Moreover, since the paddle 63 crushes the organic matter 62, the organic matter 62 can be granulated, and compost that is easy to use can be manufactured.

FIG. 7 shows another example of the conventional device. Here, the organic substance 72 is stored in the cylindrical body 71, and the organic substance 72 is agitated by rotating the cylindrical body 71 to promote the fermentation of the organic substance 72.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since the conventional apparatus shown in FIG. 6 relies on stirring by the paddle 63, the organic matter 62 has to be stirred little by little as the paddle 63 moves in the tank 61. Therefore, the entire organic matter is fermented. It took a relatively long time to make it into compost.

Further, in the conventional apparatus shown in FIG. 7, since all the organic substances 72 in the cylindrical body 71 are stirred at the same time, the whole organic substances can be fermented more quickly than the apparatus shown in FIG. As in the device shown in Fig. 6, the organic matter could not be granulated, and the homogeneous fermentation accompanying this could not be expected. Further, when treating an organic substance containing 70% or more of water, the organic substance adheres to the inside of the cylindrical body 71, which causes a problem that the fermentation is difficult to proceed.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to obtain a compost fermenter capable of rapidly fermenting the whole organic matter, and further granulating the organic matter and homogeneously fermenting it.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a tubular body, a pair of lids rotatably connected to the tubular body and rotatably connected to the tubular body, and the above-mentioned tubular body are provided. It is provided with a cylinder rotating means for rotating the body, a paddle that passes through the inside of the cylinder and is pivotally supported by each of the lids, and a paddle rotating means for rotating the paddle.

Further, in the present invention, an air pressure feeding means for feeding air into the inside of the cylinder body, and an air pressure feeding means arranged at a lower side in the inside of the cylinder body, and air is fed from the air pressure feeding means, An air discharge means for discharging this air is further provided.

[0010]

[Action]

 According to this invention, the tubular body is closed at both ends by the pair of lids, and is rotated by the tubular body rotating means. Further, the paddle passes through the inside of the cylindrical body and is rotated by the paddle rotating means. Therefore, if the organic matter is stored in the cylinder, the rotation of the cylinder causes the whole of the organic matter to be stirred, and the rotation of the paddle causes the stirring and crushing of the organic matter. Therefore, the whole organic matter can be rapidly fermented, and the organic matter can be granulated and homogeneously fermented. Furthermore, the crushing of the organic matter due to the rotation of the paddle prevents the thick organic matter from adhering to the inside of the cylinder.

Further, according to the present invention, the air discharging means receives the air from the air pressure feeding means and discharges the air inside the cylindrical body. Therefore, air can be mixed well with the organic matter in the cylinder, which further promotes aerobic fermentation of the organic matter.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 4 show an embodiment of a compost fermenting apparatus according to the present invention. FIG. 1 shows the device of this embodiment from the front, FIG. 2 shows the device from the left, FIG. 3 shows the device from the right, and FIG. The cross section when cut along the line A'is shown.

As shown in these figures, the cylindrical body 1 is a cylindrical body, and both ends thereof are closed by a disk-shaped first lid 2 and a disc-shaped second lid 3, respectively. Collars are formed on both ends of the cylindrical body 1, respectively. A collar at one end and the first lid 2 are covered with a shield ring 4 at their outer periphery, and a collar at the other end and the second lid 3 are formed. , Their outer circumference is covered with a shield ring 5. These shield rings 4 and 5 seal between the cylinder 1 and the first lid 2 and between the cylinder 1 and the second lid 3, respectively.

The first lid 2 is supported and fixed by two columns 6 protruding from the floor. Further, the second lid 3 is also supported and fixed by the two columns 7 projectingly provided on the floor surface. The tubular body 1 is rotatably connected to the lids 2 and 3 via the shield rings 4 and 5, respectively.

The first lid 2 and the second lid 3 pivotally support the paddle 8 and also support the aeration pipe 9. The paddle 8 is a rod to which a plurality of small stirring plates 8a are fixed, and is connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 11 on the side of the first lid 2. The motor 11 is fixedly arranged outside the first lid 2 and rotates the paddle 8. Further, the aeration pipe 9 has a plurality of small holes formed on its wall surface and is connected to the air compressor 13 via the pipe 12 on the first lid 2 side. The air compressor 13 compresses air and sends it to the aeration pipe 9.

A hole 14 is formed on the upper side of the first lid 2, and the hole 14 is closed by an opening / closing door 15. A hole 16 is formed on the lower side of the second lid 3, and the hole 16 is closed by a pressure door 17. The pressure door 17 is pressed against the second lid 3 by the damper 17a when the hole 16 is closed, thereby sealing the hole 16. Further, a pipe 18 penetrates above the second lid 3, and the pipe 18 is connected to an exhaust unit 19. The exhaust unit 19 sucks the air in the tubular body 1, deodorizes the air, and then exhausts the air.

On the other hand, on the floor surface, a pair of rollers 21 are arranged in parallel and another pair of rollers 22 are arranged in parallel. Each roller 21 on one side supports a rail 23 formed on the outer circumference of the cylinder 1, and each other roller 22 supports a rail 24 formed on the outer circumference of the cylinder 1. These rollers are rotated in one direction by a driving means (not shown), which causes the cylinder 1 to rotate in the direction of arrow B shown in FIG.

In such a configuration, the opening / closing door 15 of the first lid 2 is opened, organic substances are put in through the holes 14, and the organic substances are stored in the cylindrical body 1. Then, by rotating the rollers 21 and 22, the cylindrical body 1 is rotated, and by driving the motor 11, the paddle 8 is rotated. Further, by driving the air compressor 13, air is sent into the aeration pipe 9, and further by driving the exhaust unit 19, the air in the tubular body 1 is sucked and exhausted.

At this time, the inside of the cylinder 1 is in a state as shown in FIG. That is, in the tubular body 1, the organic substance 31 is wholly stirred as the tubular body 1 rotates. Moreover, since the paddle 8 is rotating, each stirring plate 8a of the paddle 8 stirs and crushes the organic matter. Here, since the organic matter 31 is entirely stirred, the organic matter 31 is promptly promoted in fermentation. Further, since the organic substance 31 is crushed by the paddle 8, the organic substance 31 can be granulated and fermented uniformly. Further, the crushing of the organic substance 31 prevents the organic substance from thickly adhering to the inside of the cylindrical body 1. Therefore, even if the organic substance contains a large amount of water, the fermentation can be promoted.

Further, air is discharged from each of the small holes of the aeration pipe 9, and a large number of bubbles 32 are mixed into the organic substance 31. In this way, when the air bubbles 32 are mixed with the organic matter 31, a large amount of air is mixed with the organic matter 31 as compared with the method of relying only on the stirring of the organic matter as in the conventional apparatus, which can further promote the aerobic fermentation. it can.

When the organic matter 31 is fermented in this manner and the fermentation is sufficiently performed to form compost, the pressure door 17 of the second lid 3 is opened and the organic matter 31 (compost) in the cylinder 1 is taken out from the hole 16.

As described above, in the above-described embodiment, since the cylinder 1 is rotated and the paddle 8 is rotated in the cylinder 1, the whole organic matter can be rapidly fermented, and the organic matter is granulated. Can be fermented homogeneously. Further, since air is sent from the aeration pipe 9 to the organic matter 31, the fermentation can be further promoted.

Since each small hole of the aeration pipe 9 is easily blocked by an organic substance and clogged, it is convenient to make the aeration pipe 9 detachable so that the aeration pipe 9 can be cleaned. . Further, for each small hole of the aeration pipe 9, a flow path and a valve for the air from the air compressor 13 to the small hole are provided, and one valve for each flow path is opened so that the air with a particularly high pressure is supplied. It is also possible to feed it into the small holes one by one, and to push out the organic substances clogged in each small hole.

Further, the shape of the cylindrical body, the shape of the paddle, the structure of the aeration pipe, the rotating mechanism of the cylindrical body, and the like in the above embodiment can be modified without departing from the scope of the claims of the present invention. Needless to say.

[0026]

【effect】

 As described above, according to the present invention, the rotation of the cylinder simultaneously agitates the whole organic matter, and the rotation of the paddle agitates and crushes the organic matter. Therefore, the whole organic matter can be rapidly fermented, and the organic matter can be granulated and homogeneously fermented. Further, the crushing of the organic matter due to the rotation of the paddle prevents the organic matter from thickly adhering to the inside of the cylinder.

Further, since air is sent to the organic matter in the cylinder, aerobic fermentation of this organic matter is further promoted.
