Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a simple compost fermenter for efficiently composting animal waste such as cow dung and chicken dung or plant waste such as rice husk as raw material to form compost.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As is well known, compost is an important soil improvement material to supplement the soil strength of chemical fertilizers, and farmers and gardening enthusiasts have traditionally used organic compost, beef manure, chicken manure, etc. Various types of compost are applied to crops.

These composts are usually used by a farmer or a horticultural enthusiast, for example, by digging a hole in the ground of a field or a backyard, and purchasing rice husks or dead leaves, unless a commercially available compost is purchased and used. Organic matter such as, and fermented materials such as beef and chicken are put into the fermented fermenter by composting them by leaving them in the field for a long time, or by fermenting them in a permanent fermenter partitioned so that the four sides are surrounded by wall boards. We manufacture home-made compost by fermenting the compost by subjecting the objects to field storage for a long time.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, home-made compost has attracted attention because it can effectively reuse animal waste or plant waste and is advantageous in terms of resource saving. Since it was not easy to combine the pump devices and it was difficult to switch back, it was difficult to obtain fully ripe compost unless it took a long time to produce compost. Moreover, when manufacturing in a permanent fermenter, it is usually necessary to carry out some basic work at the place of installation, and if necessary change the installation position of the fermenter or use it for other purposes. However, it was not easy to disassemble and reassemble it, and it was inconvenient to store it.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to easily and quickly perform assembly, disassembly, and turning-back work, to easily move the installation place, to store it in a small size, and to complete it in a short period of time. It is an object of the present invention to provide a simple compost fermenting apparatus that can obtain compost.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the simple compost fermenting apparatus according to the present invention is surrounded by at least three or more wall surfaces, has a tank body for storing raw materials for compost, and is laid in this tank body. A compost fermenter equipped with a pipe provided with air holes and a pump device for pumping air to this pipe, wherein the tank body is erected at each corner where adjacent wall surfaces meet. And a plate member that is detachably mounted and supported between the support frames to form a wall surface. The support frame can insert the plate member from above and support the end portion thereof. It is characterized by including at least one or more channel-shaped fitting portions.

[0007]

[Action]

 According to the above configuration, when the raw material for compost is stored in the tank body, the air blown from the piping laid inside the tank slowly removes the excess water in the raw material for compost, promoting the compost fermentation. Therefore, the aerobic conditions for forming the compost can be easily formed, and thus the raw material for compost can be fully ripened in a short period of time.

Further, since the plate material forming each wall surface of the tank body is detachably supported between the support frames, it is possible to pull out the plate material forming any one wall surface from between the support frames upward. It can be easily removed and can be opened without the wall.

Therefore, once the composting raw material in the tank body is once taken out of the tank body from the opened portion, efficient and sufficient cutting work can be performed. By this cutting back work, the conditions for facilitating the composting are set. Therefore, the cut back composting material is returned to the tank body, and the plate material is inserted and supported between the support frames from above by the reverse procedure to the above. As a result, the wall surface is formed again, and the composting is achieved in the tank body.

Furthermore, when disassembling the entire device, after removing all the plate materials that form the wall surface from each support frame, the entire device can be disassembled easily and quickly, and reassembly work can be performed in the reverse order. Easy to do. Therefore, it is easy to remove the entire device or change the installation location.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view showing a cutaway part of a simple compost fermenting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a laid state of piping, and FIG. 3 is a simplified compost fermenting apparatus shown in FIG. Sectional drawing which expands and shows one wall surface and a corner part, FIG. 4 is an enlarged plan view of a support frame, FIG. 5 is an enlarged plan view which shows another embodiment of a support frame, FIG. 6 is simple compost fermentation at the time of turning back work. It is a perspective view of an apparatus.

In these drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a tank body for accommodating the raw material for compost, for example, a support body standing upright at three or more places (in the illustrated example, four places corresponding to the corners of the housing). It is composed of a frame 2 and a plurality of plate members 3 mounted and supported to form a wall surface between the support frames 2 and 2.

Here, as shown in FIG. 1, the plate member 3 sequentially mounts and supports a plurality of elongated plate members for each wall surface, preferably with a gap between vertically adjacent plate members. Is formed so that the air permeability is improved, the effect of promoting fermentation is exhibited, and the material of the plate material 3 to be used does not necessarily have to be a high quality material. Some rough materials are preferable from the viewpoint of ensuring air permeability.

In addition to this, it is needless to say that although not shown, one large-sized plate member may be mounted and supported for each wall surface.

On the bottom surface of the tank body 1, a pipe 4 provided with a large number of air holes 5 is laid so that the air holes 5 are oriented laterally. A pump device 6 extending from 1 to the outside and for pumping the outside air from one end 4a of the pipe 4 is attached to the outside of the tank body 1. Further, this pipe has a structure in which each side can be divided by removing the joint 4b so that the laying area can be adjusted and the pipe can be stored compactly.

Further, the support frame 2 which is erected at the corner portion of the tank body 1 has a length dimension such that the compost raw material can be secured in the tank body 1 at a certain amount or more when the apparatus is assembled. As shown in FIG. 4, the cross-sectional shape is, for example, in the drawing, the left portion is the channel-shaped fitting portion 7 and the right portion is the corner portion 8, and the channel-shaped fitting portion 7 is in the M direction. Is opened, and the corner portion 8 is provided with a hook-shaped portion 9, and the hook-shaped portion 9 and the channel-shaped fitting portion 7 are opened in the N direction.

When the support frame 2 having the above-described shape is erected on the ground at the time of assembling the device, for example, as shown in FIG. The corner portions 8b of the support frame 2B are fitted from above and the channel-shaped fitting portions 7a and 7b are connected so as to form a right angle, and these are used as a pair. A pair will be provided in each of the portions to be.

In this way, among the support frames 2A, 2B provided in pairs at the four corners, the channel-shaped fitting portions facing each other (for example, between the upper and lower support frames 2B, 2B in FIG. 3). Between the channel-shaped fitting portions 7b, 7b), a plurality of plate members 3 are sequentially fitted and supported from above to form the tank body 1 as shown in FIG.

If the support frame is made of, for example, aluminum, it is lightweight, rust-resistant, and easy to handle, and the plate material constituting the wall surface may be made of wood, plastics, or aluminum. For the piping, use piping with good water resistance and weather resistance, such as vinyl chloride.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. Now, the rice husks, which are dried and have a low water content, are laid on the bottom surface of the tank body 1 so as to be almost even over the pipe 4 so that the pipe 4 is slightly hidden. Spread a mesh plate over almost the entire bottom area inside.

Then, after a predetermined amount of raw material to be composted is accommodated on this, the pump device 6 is driven to flow air sideways from the air hole 5 of the pipe 4 laid inside the tank body 1 to compost Air is circulated in the raw material to maintain the inside of the tank body 1 under aerobic conditions.

After a certain period of time, the plate material 3 which constitutes one of the wall surfaces of the tank body 1 is removed and opened, and the composting raw material A in the tank body 1 is placed on the outer sheet 11 as shown in FIG. Take it out, and carry out the cutting work sufficiently here.

After the turning back work, the removed plate material 3 is again arranged to form a wall surface, and the raw material A for composting after the turning back work is put into the tank body 1 for about one month. Ripe compost can be obtained if left to stand.

Further, it goes without saying that the period required for fully composting varies depending on the type of raw material to be composted, and the number of times of switching work is appropriately selected.

As is clear from the above-mentioned examples, it is possible to obtain a fully-ripened compost in a short period of time, but, for example, it has conventionally taken more than one year to fully-ripen compost of organic matter such as rice husks which are difficult to rot. On the other hand, when the compost fermenter according to the above example is used, a fully-ripened compost can be obtained in about 30 to 40 days.

In the support frame 2 used in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the wall thickness T of the tip end portion of the channel-shaped fitting portion 7 is slightly smaller than the wall thickness t of the support frame main body portion. The thickness is set to be thick, which has the advantage that the plate member fitted and supported by the channel-shaped fitting portion 7 can be firmly supported. However, in addition to the support frame 2, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to use one support frame 9 provided with two channel-shaped fitting grooves 9a and 9b, and in this case, two support frames 2A and 2B, like the support frame of the above embodiment, are used. There is an advantage that the number of parts can be reduced because the members are not used in pairs.

Further, in the above embodiment, the compost fermenting apparatus composed of the tank body having the four wall surfaces was described, but the tank body composed of the three wall surfaces or the plurality of wall surfaces of five or more surfaces is used. Needless to say, the compost fermenting apparatus may be formed by the configured tank body, and it is applicable not only to the single-compartment fermenting apparatus but also to the multi-compartment fertilizing apparatus.
