Description

Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus for treating organic wastes using larvae,

The present invention relates to an apparatus for treating organic wastes using larvae such as Donghae.

Organic waste such as food waste discharged from homes and restaurants, organic wastes generated at industrial sites, fossil fuels generated from housing, and flour can cause serious environmental problems in soil and rivers when discharged without treatment.

According to the conventional method, a method of recycling organic wastes as livestock feed or compost through a specific process, a method of landing in a certain area or dumping in the sea has been mainly used. In this case, there is a problem that the economical efficiency is low in terms of installation cost and maintenance cost of the processing apparatus. In addition, when the effluent is directly used as feed, adverse effects such as the occurrence of killing are large, and in the case of composting, there are problems such as re-heating and unbalance of unavailability.

In order to solve the above problems, an organic waste treatment system has been developed using organisms such as earthworms and housefly larvae. In this case, it is known that the discharged foliar soil is excellent in non-efficacy and can be useful for cultivation of agricultural land, horticulture, orchard and the like, and plays a role of increasing plant growth and yield of the product.

Among these, the period from egg to adults is 37 to 41 days, and the period of larvae that act as decomposers is about 14 days. The larvae of Donghae have a habit of crawling out to find a dry place to become a pupa after a period of time (about 14 days) in which organic wastes can be decomposed. When 5,000 larvae were injected to 10kg of food waste, more than 80% of food waste was decomposed within 5 days. The volume of food waste was about 42% and 70% less than that of larvae. It is much more effective to nurture and utilize the larvae because the larvae of Donghae are longer than those of earthworms or houseflies.

FIG. 1 is a side view of an apparatus for treating organic waste according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an operational state diagram of a discharge unit of the apparatus for treating organic waste according to an embodiment of the present invention. 1 and 2, the frame 110, the process container 115, the transfer conveyance unit 120, the layered transfer unit 122, the upper and lower transfer unit 125, the discharge rotation unit 130, the discharge unit 133, The container lid 135, the discharge fan 137, the discharge processing unit 140, the storage unit 145, the crushing unit 150, the crushing unit 155, the crushing unit 160, the loading unit 170, The control unit 180, the larvae 190, and the like.

The present embodiment is characterized in that the organic waste is mixed with a moisture control agent to provide an environment in which larvae can effectively treat the organic waste. Particularly, the present embodiment is characterized in that in the system for treating a large amount of organic wastes, organic wastes whose moisture has been controlled in accordance with the number of days of growth of the larvae are introduced into the treatment vessel and the multi-treated organic wastes are effectively discharged.

The frame 110 is a body capable of receiving the respective processing vessels 115 and is formed, for example, of a plurality of layers capable of accommodating each processing vessel 115 in layers.

The processing vessel (115) is a vessel which houses organic wastes therein and has a space in which larvae can dwell. The extent and depth can be determined by the number of larvae, such as the size of the overall frame 110, the amount of organic wastes that can be treated, and homosexuality. (Not shown) capable of collecting larvae can be further provided under the frame 110 where the processing vessel 115 is located. Further, according to another embodiment, a lamp is provided on the upper and side surfaces of each layer of the frame 110 where the processing vessel 115 is located, and bright light is emitted to escape the larva to the outside of the processing vessel 115 .

The processing vessel 115 can be implemented in various shapes. For example, the processing vessel 115 has an upper surface opened, an inclined surface having an angle formed with the lower surface on at least one side surface of 10 to 80 mm, and a container . In addition, the upper surface of the processing vessel 115 may have various shapes such as a square, a circle, an ellipse, and a polygon.

The horizontal transfer unit may be divided into a transfer transfer unit 120 and a layered transfer unit 122 according to its installation position. The transfer conveyance unit 120 transfers the processing vessel 115 to the input unit 170 and the discharge rotation unit 130. Each layer of the frame 110 is provided with a layered transferring unit 122 for transferring the processing container 115 transferred by the upper and lower transferring unit 125 and accommodating the processing vessel 115 in each layer of the frame 110.

The transfer conveying unit 120 and the layer conveying unit 122 are devices capable of conveying the processing vessel 115 located at the upper portion of each conveying unit in a specific direction and can be implemented in various forms. For example, the transfer conveyance unit 120 and the layer conveyance unit 122 may be realized in the form of a conveyor belt, or may be provided with a moving unit (not shown) separately in the central part (e.g., the center of each layer) The movement of the container can be controlled by the horizontal movement.

In the latter case, the transfer transfer unit 120 and the layered transfer unit 122 may each include a pallet and a moving unit. The pallet is a flat frame that is a bottom surface, and the moving part means a device such as a robot arm including a device capable of moving freely in the center of the pallet, for example, a forceps. A description will be given of a case where the processing container 115 is transferred from the layer conveying unit 122 to the upper and lower conveying units 125 to describe it in detail. The processing container 115 is positioned over the layered transferring section 122 and the upper and lower transferring sections 125 when the transfer section of the transferring section 122 moves upward in the direction of the upper transferring section 125. Then, the moving part of the upper and lower transfer part 125 receives the processing container 115 placed on the upper and lower transfer part 125 and brings it to the center of the pallet. Through this process, the processing vessel 115 can move between different pallets.

The upper and lower transfer unit 125 transfers the processing vessel 115 vertically in accordance with the direction of the plurality of layers formed on the frame 110. The upper and lower transfer unit 125 can transfer the processing vessel 115 by various methods such as a pulley system, a cylinder system, and a lift system. For example, the upper and lower transfer unit 125 can vertically transfer the processing container 115 mounted on the pallet by winding or unwinding the wire connected to the lower pallet by a motor installed at the upper end of the structure frame. The motor may be installed at the top of the front and / or rear surface of the embodiment to move the pallet up and down.

According to another embodiment, a plurality of pulleys may be provided on the upper end of the structure, and the processing vessel 115 may be vertically transferred by winding or unwinding the wound wire of the dredge with a small force using the Drake principle. The upper and lower transfer unit 125 transfers the processing vessel 115 in the vertical direction, while the horizontal transfer unit transfers the processing vessel 115 in the horizontal direction.

The discharge rotation unit 130 rotates the processing vessel 115 to collectively discharge the fecal soil generated from the organic waste by the decomposition of larvae in the homeward. In this case, in order to prevent the processing vessel 115 from falling downward, the discharge rotation unit 130 is provided with means for fixing the processing vessel 115, for example, a grip for gripping the side surface of the processing vessel 115 . When the processing vessel 115 is located in the discharge rotary part 130, the position sensor senses the position of the processing vessel 115 and controls the gripper to catch the side surface of the processing vessel 115.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, a vacuum suction unit may be provided instead of the discharge rotation unit 130. The vacuum suction unit is a device for sucking a material by using air pressure, such as a vacuum cleaner, and can be discharged by sucking in the feces. The inhaled fecal soil can be collected in the fecal soil collection unit.

The fecal soil discharged from the discharge portion 133 may be accommodated in a predetermined discharge processing portion 140. The shape, structure, function, and the like of the discharge processing unit 140 will be described in detail below.

In this embodiment, in accordance with the growing number of days of larvae living in the processing vessel 115, the processing vessel 115 is provided with a discharge processing vessel 115 for discharging larvae from the organic wastes generated from organic wastes, (Not shown) for selecting the discharge processing unit, and a discharge transfer unit for transferring the discharge processing vessel to the discharge processing unit 140.

Similar to the function of the input determination unit 183 to be described later, the discharge selection unit determines the discharge time of the mixture by comparing the number of days of growth of the larvae and the current time, which are input into each container stored in the container information storage unit 182, , The processing vessel 115 to be discharged can be selected.

The discharge conveying unit may be a system including the transfer conveying unit 120, the layer conveying unit 122, and the vertical conveying unit 125, and may transfer the discharge processing vessel to the discharge processing unit 140.

When the upper surface of the processing vessel 115 is rotated and the opened upper surface faces downward, the internal feces can be poured and may be transferred to the distribution transfer unit (not shown) via the discharge unit 133. The distribution transfer section can be divided into two paths. First, when the larvae are collected by the method described later, the distribution transfer unit delivers the larva to the larva collecting unit (not shown) on the collected relatives. In addition, when the fecal soil is collected as described above, the distribution conveying unit delivers the collected fecal soil to the fecal soil collecting unit (not shown). To this end, the dispensing transfer part can be divided into two paths. There are a number of ways to divide these paths, for example, by installing rails and changing the direction of the train rails, the larvae or feces can be transferred to the collecting section, for example, to the collected relatives.

The container lid 135 can cover the upper surface of the processing container 115 to increase the temperature and humidity inside thereof. The container lid 135 may be provided with a lamp, a heater, and the like. When the upper surface of the processing container 115 is covered, temperature and humidity inside the container lid 135 can be adjusted. With this function, the container lid 135 can collect only the larva from the process container 115, such as the larvae. In other words, the larvae of Donghae have a habit of moving in search of cool and dry conditions before they become pupae. Therefore, the temperature and the humidity of the processing vessel 115 can be increased, and only the larva can be collected from the processing vessel 115 to the homeward. In this case, the desired effect can be obtained when the temperature is from 35 캜 to 45 캜.

The storage unit 145 stores the organic waste and the moisture control agent to be charged into the treatment vessel 115 at a level equal to or greater than the current treatment capacity. The organic wastes and the moisture regulator introduced into the storage unit 145 may further include microorganisms capable of removing odors. Here, microorganisms can function to decompose odorous substances and convert them to carbon dioxide, water, and other mineral salts.

Further, the mixing part (not shown) mixes the organic waste to be charged into the processing vessel 115 with the moisture control agent so as to mix well. The mixing portion may mix the mixture before or after the organic waste and the moisture control agent are introduced into the storage portion 145.

The pulverizing apparatus 150 crushes organic waste such as food waste to be introduced in this embodiment, mixes it with a moisture control agent to prepare a mixture, and selects foreign matter. The moisture control agent can be at least one of sawdust, coco peat, rice straw, rice bran, agricultural forestry by-products and water. Here, agro-forestry by-products can be defined as a by-product of agriculture and forestry, for example, as a by-product of tree branches, leaves, bark, bark, and other agricultural forestry.

The user inserts the materials of the mixture to be disassembled through the disintegration input unit 155, and the disintegration unit 160 mixes and mixes the respective materials by a grinding means such as a sawtooth. The crushing unit 160 may not be needed if separate crushing is not required, such as the secretion of the housing.

In addition, the present embodiment may further include a pretreatment transfer unit for transferring the organic waste and the moisture control agent from the storage unit 145 to the input unit 170. In this case, the pretreatment transfer unit includes a first charge transferring unit (not shown) for transferring the organic waste and the moisture control agent from the storage unit 145 to the crushing unit 160, and the organic waste away from the crushing unit 160, (Not shown) for transferring the toner to the second transfer direction.

Further, since the technology for sorting foreign materials is generally used in a food waste disposal apparatus, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The input unit 170 may be provided with a charge control unit 180 for controlling the amount of organic waste to be charged into the processing vessel 115 in accordance with the growing number of larvae living in the processing vessel 115. For this purpose, the wastewater, the number of days of growth, and the time of applying the organic waste can be stored in advance for each treatment vessel 115.

In addition, the present embodiment can further include a larva injecting unit (not shown) for injecting larvae into the respective treatment vessels 115, The larva injecting part may be provided with the injecting part 170 or a separate device. The user can inject the larva directly into the processing container 115 through which the larva is discharged from the larva through the larva injecting part.

Also, according to another embodiment, the larva injecting control unit may prepare a larval amount of larva corresponding to the volume of the processing vessel 115 on behalf of the user, and put the larva into the processing vessel 115 in which all larvae are discharged. In this case, the larva injecting section may include a larva receiving section for receiving the larva, a larva discharging section for discharging the larva to the processing container 115, and a larva injecting control section for controlling the larva discharging section.

The apparatus for treating organic wastes according to the present embodiment may further include a fan for discharging and removing the odor generated in the outside, and a filter disposed in a flow path of air moved by the fan.

In addition, the present embodiment may further include an air conditioning unit for removing odors generated from the organic waste, and adjusting humidity and temperature. Here, the air conditioner may be an electronic device in which the air purifier and the air conditioner are implemented as a single device, or a single system in which the devices are implemented individually.

The air conditioning unit according to the present embodiment removes odors generated in the organic waste and / or moisture control agent, and the deodorized gas can be discharged to the outside of the apparatus according to the present embodiment. The air conditioner may include a gas suction fan for sucking the odor, and may include deodorizing microorganisms, deodorant such as deodorizing microorganism, ozone, activated carbon, naphthalene, charcoal, and fragrance to remove the inhaled odor. In addition, the air conditioning unit is made up of the UVX lamp of special wavelength, rhodium silver, copper and titanium dioxide at a predetermined magnification and is made by catalytic alloy metal to maximize the catalytic action. The OH radical, peroxide anion, So that various bacteria and viruses in the air can be sterilized and cleaned.

It usually survives for 4 to 5 days in the egg state, 14 days in the larval state, 14 days in the pupa state, and 5 to 8 days in the adult state. In the present embodiment, this fact can be utilized because the larvae treat the organic waste and show different treatment capacities for the growing days.

The relationship between the number of days of growth and the size of larvae after hatching in larvae is summarized as follows.

Days 1-4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 size Number mm 5mm 8mm 11 mm 14mm 17mm 20mm 21mm 21mm 21mm 21mm

Based on this data, the injection control unit may inject a mixture of organic waste into the treatment vessel 115 in which the larvae live, such as from the day 3 to day after the incubation in the egg. In addition, the dosing regulator 180 can increase the amount of the organic waste to be injected into the processing vessel 115 by the number of days of growth from days 9 to 15 after the larvae are hatched from the eggs.

In addition, the apparatus for treating organic wastes according to the present embodiment can be used for mass-proliferation of larvae, A larva that can effectively treat organic wastes is larvae of the order of three days to eight days after hatching in eggs. Therefore, the treatment vessel 115 according to the present embodiment can be used as a vessel capable of raising the larvae hatched in eggs for the number of days. For example, a processing vessel 115 of a specific one of a plurality of layers provided in the frame 110 may be used as a larvae breeding vessel, or a portion of each layer may be used to house a larva breeding vessel. In this case, the larvae rearing container is not located in the loading unit 170, and larvae can be manually or automatically inserted into the rearing chamber.

In the apparatus control unit for controlling the operation of the processing apparatus according to the present embodiment, the processing vessel 115 for treating organic wastes and the larvae breeding vessel are divided into respective layers of the frame 110, The timing can be determined. For example, in the case of the processing vessel 115, the apparatus control unit performs the process of injecting and decomposing organic wastes by the number of days of larval growth, and then discharging the fecal soil. This can perform the necessary process for each growth day by matching the number of growth days of the larva with the layer in which the treatment vessel 115 is accommodated.

On the other hand, in the case of the larvae container, the process of organic waste disposal, decomposition and discharge of fecal soil may be omitted. The device controller controls the environment so that larvae can live in the larvae for 3 to 8 days. For example, if a larva is introduced into the larvae receptacle by a user or by the aforementioned larval injecting section, the larvae receptacle can be accommodated in a specific layer of the frame 110 for 3 to 8 days without any other transfer . After the larvae have grown in eggs for 3 to 8 days after the larvae have been incubated in the eggs, the device controller sends the larvae custody vessel to the above-mentioned discharge rotation unit 130 so that the larvae can be discharged, or it is transferred to a place where the user can take out the larva .

In addition, the container lid 135 described above can cover the upper surface of the larvae container when the larvae live in the larvae for 3 days to 6 days after the larvae hatch from the eggs, have. To this end, the transfer conveying unit 120, the layer conveying unit 122, and the upper and lower conveying unit 125 can transfer the larvae rearing container to the position where the container lid 135 is provided.

In addition, according to another embodiment, in order to entirely manage the growth period leading to egg, larva, pupa, adult, the processing vessel 115 covers the opened upper surface and has a container cover (not shown) . The container cover may have the same shape as a mesh. For example, when the container cover covers the processing vessel 115, the larva can be re-cultivated after being transformed into an adult through the pupa, Through this process larvae can be propagated in large quantities. In this case, the processing container 115 provided with the container cover is not transferred to the discharge rotary part 130 and the loading part 170 at the same cycle as the other general processing containers 115 as described above, and the larva can handle the organic waste It may be transported to a place for discharging the larvae, for example, the discharge rotation unit 130, or a position where the user can collect the larva directly.

Referring to Fig. 2, a case (a) in which the container cover 135 covers the upper surface of the processing container 115 and a case (b) in which the discharge rotating portion 130 rotates are shown. In the former case, when the container lid 135 covers the upper surface of the processing vessel 115, the larvae 190 treat the organic waste in the inside of the processing vessel 115 and heat and moisture are generated while the larvae 190 treat the organic waste, . Therefore, the larvae 190 return to the lower part of the processing vessel 115 to find a cooler and drier condition. The discharge fan 137 can regulate the temperature and humidity inside the processing vessel 115 through air blowing. After the larva 190 is discharged to the east, the discharge rotation part 130 rotates to discharge the fecal soil inside the processing vessel 115.

In addition, according to another embodiment, an internal discharge unit (not shown) in which the larva 190 moves may be separately provided. The larvae 190 exit the treatment vessel 115 and are discharged to the lower part through a predetermined passage (not shown) provided in the discharge part. According to such a structure, since the outlet of the larva 190 and the outlet of the powdered soil are distinguished from each other, there is an advantage that they are not mixed with each other at the time of discharge.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the charge control unit of the organic waste treatment apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. 3, the input control unit 180 may include a capacity storage unit 181, a container-specific information storage unit 182, an input determination unit 183, and an input amount measurement unit 184.

The present embodiment is characterized in that the injection regulator 180 determines the amount of the mixture composed of the organic waste and the moisture regulator to be put into each vessel as described above.

The capacity storage unit 181 stores correlation data on the amount of mixed materials and time. That is, the capacity storage unit 181 stores data on the amount of the mixture to be injected corresponding to the growth days of the larva and the larval water (or larva weight). These data can be based on the amount of unit mix ingested by the unit larvae per growing day and the amount of mixture corresponding to the weight of the larvae or larvae can be proportional to the number and weight of the unit larvae.

The container-specific information storage unit 182 stores the data on the growth days of the larvae, the larvae (or the weight of the larvae), and the like for each vessel put into each vessel.

The injection determination unit 183 determines the injection timing and amount of the mixture for each vessel. For example, the injection determination unit 183 can determine the injection timing of the mixture to be charged into each container by comparing the number of days of growth of the larvae and the current time, which is input into each container stored in the container information storage unit 182 . The injection determination unit 183 compares the growth days and larval numbers of the larvae stored in the container storage unit 182 with the number of growth days and larvae stored in the capacity storage unit 181, To determine the amount of mixture to be added.

The input amount measurement unit 184 accurately measures the input amount calculated by the input determination unit 183 as described above. For example, the input amount measuring unit 184 may be a balance.

The mixture measured by the input amount measuring unit 184 is input to the processing vessel 115 by the input unit 170. [ Here, the processing vessel 115 into which the mixture is to be introduced can be transferred to the position of the input section 170 by the above-described transfer sections.

4 is a side view of the discharge processing unit of the apparatus for treating organic wastes according to the first embodiment of the present invention. 4, the waste processing unit 200, the organic waste 202, the container cover 204, the cover knobs 206a and 206b, the cover fitting unit 210, the larval collecting units 215a and 215b, Lt; / RTI > is shown.

The discharge processing unit 200 is a container having a structure for accommodating the fecal soil generated from the organic waste 202 discharged from the inside thereof and for allowing the larva to escape to the pupa. Herein, the fecal soil is an effluent produced by ingesting the organic waste 202 in a larva, etc., and can be used as a compost. The extent and depth can be determined by the size of the overall organic waste treatment system, the amount of organic wastes that can be treated, and the number of larvae.

The discharge processing section 200 may include an inclined surface extending to be inclined to the container bottom surface 220. The inclination angle formed with the inclined surface 220 when the inclined surface is formed may be in the range of 10 degrees to 80 degrees so as to enable efficient collection without being steep so that the larva can rise up to the same place. The collecting amount, advantages and disadvantages of larvae according to the angles formed between the slopes and the bottom surface 220 are as follows. Small angles can collect large amounts of larvae, but they have a drawback in that they take up a lot of space because they require large vessels.

Referring to Table 2, when the angle becomes 80 degrees or less, the collection amount surges to 88% or more, and when the collection amount becomes 70 degrees or less, the amount becomes 90% or more. Therefore, when the angle of the inclined plane is set to 10 to 80 degrees, larval collecting is possible in terms of collection amount and volume.

The larval collecting units 215a and 215b are formed on one side of the inclined surface of the discharge processing unit 200 to collect larvae from the organic wastes 202 that are sufficiently consumed. The larva collecting units 215a and 215b may be formed in a vertical shape so that they can not escape when the larvae collect on the tilted surface of the discharge processing unit 200 and the like.

A conveyor portion (not shown) for moving the organic waste 202 to the bottom surface 220 of the discharge processing portion 200 may be provided. The conveyor portion may include a roller, a roller drive, and a belt. That is, the rollers transport the belt by rotating in physical contact with the belt carrying the organic waste 202 at the top. The roller driver is provided at both ends of the roller to rotate the roller. The size and the number of the rollers may be varied corresponding to the size or shape of the discharge processing unit 200. Of course, the container bottom surface 220 of the discharge processing unit 200 may be formed as a flat plate without implementing a conveyor unit.

The container cover 204 covers the top surface of the discharge processing part 200 to increase the temperature and humidity inside thereof. The container cover 204 may include a lamp, a heater, and the like. When the upper surface of the discharge processing unit 200 is covered, temperature and humidity of the inside of the container cover 204 can be adjusted. Through this function, the container cover 204 can collect only the larva from the discharge processing unit 200, such as the larvae.

In other words, the larvae of Donghae have a habit of moving in search of cool and dry conditions before they become pupae. Therefore, by raising the temperature and humidity of the discharge processing section 200 and moving the larva to a predetermined position, the larva can be collected from the discharge processing section 200, for example, to the homeless. For example, when the temperature is controlled at 35 ° C to 45 ° C, effects such as migration of larvae can be achieved.

Cover handles 206a and 206b may be formed in the container lid 204 and may be used to cover or open the container lid 204 by direct user picking or a point of contact during mechanical operation. The container cover 204 may be inserted into the cover fitting portion 210 protruding from one end or both ends of the discharge processing portion 200 and fixed to the discharge processing portion 200. The container cover 204 may be inserted from one side of the fixed lid fitting part 210 to cover the discharge processing part 200. Alternatively, one set of cover fittings 210 may be moved so that the container lid 204 is inserted with a distance from each other when the container lid 204 is positioned therebetween after a distance from each other. In addition, various methods in which the container cover 204 covers the open face of the discharge processing part 200 can be applied to the present invention.

In addition, the present embodiment may further include a water dryer (not shown) for drying larvae from the inside of the discharge processing unit 200 to the outside, that is, the larva which has come to the larval collecting units 215a and 215b. The water drier may be a dryer or a dehumidifier to deliver dry air.

5 is a perspective view of the discharge processing unit of the apparatus for treating organic waste according to the second embodiment of the present invention. 5, the discharge processing unit 300, the slope unit 325, the side slope unit 327, the larval migration path 330, and the larval collecting unit 340 are shown. Hereinafter, the differences from the above-described embodiment will be mainly described.

The present embodiment is a device capable of handling a large volume in a wide area such as a road surface, And the larva is injected into the discharge processing part 300 through the discharge part 133 described above. Organic wastes may be decomposed sufficiently by larva after being injected into the inside and then separated from the larvae and collected into the feces.

The side surface of the discharge processing part 300 may be formed with a side inclined part 327 which is not inclined but inclined to a non-inclined side surface. The larva can be collected in the larva collecting part 340 via the slope part 325 and the side slope part 327 and then via the larval traveling path 330 as the upper groove.

The larval path 330 may be formed at the upper edge of the raising device to allow the larva to move to the tilted portion 325, the tilted portion 327, and the like. In this case, the larva movement path 330 may be connected to the upper portion of the slope portion 325 and the side slope portion 327.

6 is a side view of a transfer part of an organic waste treatment apparatus according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 6, a processing vessel 115, a rotating frame 610, a rotating support 620, a layered frame 630 are shown.

The present embodiment is an embodiment that specifically embodies the function of transporting the processing vessels 115 by layers, and each processing vessel 115 can be rotated and positioned in each layer. Hereinafter, the differences from the above-described embodiment will be mainly described.

The rotating frame 610 is a frame that supports each layer so as to position the processing vessel 115 in layers. The rotary support 620 moves along the rotary frame 610 to rotate the floor frame 630 on which the processing vessel 115 is placed. The rotation support portions 620 can be connected to each other and can rotate in the same direction. For example, the rotary support 620 may be rotated in a specific direction by a chain that is connected by a chain and rotated by a separate drive (not shown).

The layer frame 630 can be pivotally coupled to the rotary support 620 as a frame for receiving the processing container 115. For example, when the rotation supporting portion 620 rotates, the layer frame 630 can move in the direction in which the rotation supporting portion 620 rotates while the processing container 115 is loaded. In this case, when the layer frame 630 is positioned on the side surface, the upper surface, and the lower surface of the rotary frame 610, the layered frame 630 and the rotary support portion 620 are coupled in different directions, 620 can be pivotally coupled to each other.

When the layer frame 630 is positioned on the lower surface of the rotating frame 610, the processing container 115 can be transferred to the input portion 170 or the discharge portion 133 by the transfer transfer portion 120 as described above .

In addition, the processing vessel 115 may be stopped in a specific layer after being placed on the elevator, and may be accommodated in the respective layers provided on both sides by the above-mentioned layered conveying section 122. In this case, the plurality of processing vessels 115 in each layer in which the processing vessel 115 is to be accommodated may be located on the sides of each other. In this case, the supporting table for receiving the processing vessel 115 in each layer can move upward, downward, and horizontally, so that the processing vessel 115 at a specific position can be transferred to the above-described upper and lower transfer unit 125.

In addition, the processing vessel 115 can be rotated 360 degrees about the direction of climbing up the elevator, and the layers to be accommodated in the processing vessel 115 corresponding to each rotation angle may be separately provided.

Further, another embodiment may include a frame formed as a single layer that accommodates each processing vessel 115 to be located on the sides of each other. In this case, the transfer conveyance unit 120 described above can transfer the selected processing vessel 115 among the plurality of processing vessels received in the single-layer frame to the input unit 170 or the discharge unit 133.

7 to 10 are block diagrams of an apparatus for treating organic waste according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. 9 is a side view of the storage part 145 and the charging part 170, and Fig. 10 is a side view of the discharge part 170. Fig. 7 is a plan view of the whole system, Fig. 8 is a side view of the frame 110 and the processing container 115, (A) and a side view (b) of the portion 730 of FIG. Hereinafter, the differences from the above-described embodiment will be mainly described.

When the organic waste is transported to the storage unit 145, the organic waste is transported to the loading unit 170 via the mixture transport unit 710. The organic wastes are then introduced into the treatment vessel 115, treated, and transferred to the discharge unit 730 by the transfer conveyance unit 120 described above, and discharged into the fugitive soil.

Referring to Fig. 8, the processing vessel 115 can be stacked as many as a plurality of layers. 9, organic wastes are introduced into the storage unit 145 through the storage and input unit 740, mixed in the mixing unit 742, and then passed through the mixture transfer unit 710 having a predetermined inclination, (Not shown). Referring to FIG. 10, the discharge unit 730 may be realized in a container shape, and the by-product of the mixture discharged from the processing vessel 115 may be received at one end and may be delivered to the discharge processing unit at the other end.

11 to 14 are processing vessels of an apparatus for treating organic wastes according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. 12 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A of FIG. 11, FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-C of FIG. 11, and FIG. Hereinafter, the differences from the above description will be mainly described.

The treatment vessel 115 may further include means for preventing larvae from coming out of the vessel to the outside. For example, the processing vessel 115 may include a rim portion T formed on the side surface and parallel to the bottom surface of the processing vessel 115, and a side extension portion coupled to an outer edge of the rim portion.

In this case, the side extension may be formed parallel to the side surface of the processing vessel 115, which is engaged with the bottom surface, or may be formed at a predetermined angle. In this case, the angle at which the side extensions are held with the bottom surface may be an angle maintained by the side surface with the bottom surface as described above.

According to such a structure, the larvae move along the extension line of the rim portion T of the processing vessel 115, and the effect is such that the larva does not come out to the outside.

The width of the edge plane portion T formed at the side central portion of the processing vessel 115 may be larger than the width of the edge plane portion K formed at the side edge portion of the processing vessel. In this case, the base of the side extension may engage with the facing edges of the sides of the processing vessel 115.

According to this structure, as the width of the edge plane portion K formed on the side edge portion decreases, the larva falls off toward the bottom surface of the processing vessel 115 and moves toward the processing vessel 115 ).

Hereinafter, an experimental example of an organic waste disposal apparatus using larvae according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to specific data.

Table 3 shows the concentrations of ammonia gas generated during the decomposition of food waste in the control and treatment groups.

(Unit: ppm) division Day 1 Day 3 Control Treatment 1 Treatment 2 Control Treatment 1 Treatment 2 ammonia 1.4 100.7 113.9 203.4 424.9 386.7

The control group consisted of a combination of food waste and sawdust, the treatment group 1 was a combination of larvae such as food waste, sawdust and budding, and the treatment group 2 was a combination of larvae and microorganisms such as food waste, sawdust, Here, the input microorganism is yeast, the number of larvae is 5,000, the food waste used is 10kg per day, and the sawdust functions to control moisture and fermentation. The size of containers used for control and treatment was 1,200 mm * 600 mm * 200 mm.

The concentrations of ammonia in the initial food wastes were 1.4 ppm in the control, 100.7 ppm in the treatment 1, and 113.9 ppm in the treatment 2 on the first day, except for the control. On the third day, ammonia was generated at 203.4 ppm in the control, 424.9 ppm in the treatment 1, and 386.7 ppm in the treatment 2.

This difference in concentration indicates that the food of treatments 1 and 2 is more rapidly degraded than that of the control, which is influenced by larvae such as Dongae. The occurrence of ammonia due to the fermentation and the modification of the physical properties of the food when it was decomposed by the larvae was relatively high in the early stage of the treatment.

Especially, in Dongae, etc., larvae can not be inhabited in winter, so the structure is made to be able to regulate the temperature and humidity in four seasons. In order to suppress ammonia generation, it is necessary to perform sterilization purification and chemical reaction of electric or electronic, It is possible to add a generalized system capable of suppressing the occurrence of ammonia such as a heat exchange air conditioning system.

In addition, the fecal altered soil discharged by the embodiment of the present invention is excellent in non-efficacy and can be used for cultivation of agricultural land, horticulture, orchard, etc. The components of the conversion product obtained from food waste are analyzed as shown in the following Table 4 .

Control 1 is a combination of food waste, control 2 is a combination of food waste and sawdust, T1 is a combination of larvae such as food waste, sawdust, and tortoise, and T2 is a combination of larvae and microorganisms in food waste, sawdust, T1-1 and T1-2 are examples of T1, and T2-1 and T2-2 are examples of T2.

As a result of analyzing the composition of the fecal soil, which is the decomposition product of food waste decomposed by the larvae in Donghae, both nitrogen content and total nitrogen (T-N) content were greatly lowered compared to control 1 and 2. The contents of nitrogen (N) and total nitrogen (TN) in the foliar soil from T1 were 30% to 40% and 20%, respectively, compared with the contents of nitrogen (N) and total nitrogen (TN) % ~ 30%, which means that it has better ingredients as fertilizer.

Also, the same results are obtained when larvae and microorganisms are treated at the same time. In addition, the decomposition products of food wastes were acidic in the control 1 and 2, and the decomposition products were changed to neutral or weakly alkaline when they were decomposed using larvae, such that they were suitable for the composting of decomposition products of food wastes.

Table 5 shows the composition of the larvae and the pupae after the treatment of food waste.

Moisture content is the content in the analysis stage after lyophilization. The crude protein was 43.42%, which was similar to that of soybean meal, and the energy level was very high.

In the pupa of Donghae, the results were similar to those of larvae, and were higher in crude fat, crude protein and crude fiber than in larvae.
