RU119205U1 - CONTAINER WITH HUMIDIFIER AERATOR FOR PREPARING COMPOST - Google Patents

Abstract

A container for the preparation of compost, made of perforated metal sheets, with a double-leaf bottom, characterized in that horizontal perforated plastic tubes are provided for aeration and / or moistening of the plant material, fixed in the side walls and passing through the container in the upper and lower parts, with one the sides of the aeration and humidification pipes are sealed, on the other side they have an outlet for connecting an air duct or water supply to them.

Description

The utility model relates to the arrangement of containers used in the field of agriculture. The container is intended for collection, storage, transportation, unloading, aeration and (or) moistening of plant materials during compost preparation.

A known container, selected as a prototype of the claimed device, which has an opening bottom, consisting of two leaves, springs for returning the bottom leaves to their original position and locks-latches for connection with the side walls [Patent for the invention of the Russian Federation No. 107893, publ. 09/10/2011, bull. No. 25].

The disadvantage of this container is the lack of a device for aeration and (or) wetting of the raw materials in the composting process, and, therefore, the inability to obtain high-quality compost using high-level technology.

Also known is a supply and exhaust system with a heat exchanger for utilization of heat generated during storage of plant materials with high humidity, containing a container made of metal sheets with holes placed in a concrete pit with a tray, juice collector and riser, as well as an injection system including a whole pipe with a pump built into it and perforated pipes for supplying air to the plant material in order to displace excess heat from it; and an air exhaust system including a pipe for removing heated air with a valve and a filter [Patent for the invention of the Russian Federation No. 99864, publ. 11/27/2010, bull. No. 33].

The disadvantages of such a heat exchanger are the lack of a humidification system for plant materials, which also makes it impossible to obtain high quality compost. The technical result of the utility model is the provision of regular uniform aeration and (or) humidification of plant materials during composting to obtain high-quality organic fertilizer with low metal consumption, ease of manufacture assembly and disassembly. The technical result of the utility model is solved by using a container for compost preparation made of perforated metal sheets with a bivalve bottom, characterized in that horizontal apertured plastic tubes are provided for aeration and (or) wetting of the plant material, fixed in the side walls and passing through the container into upper and lower parts. On the one hand, the aeration and humidification tubes are sealed, on the other hand they have an outlet for connecting an air duct or water supply to them.

The use of a container with an aerator-humidifier will make it possible to obtain compost using high-level technology due to the regular supply of air oxygen and (or) water through the perforated tubes to the plant mass to ensure the life of microorganisms that contribute to its thermophilic decomposition.

Thus, the proposed technical solution meets the criterion of "significant differences" and ensures the achievement of a positive effect, indicated by the purpose of the utility model.

Figure 1 schematically shows the proposed container with an aerator-humidifier.

Figure 2 shows the top of the container with the humidifier aerator.

Structurally, the container with the aerator-humidifier is made in the form of a frame from a metal corner in the form of a cube 1, side metal with perforated walls 2, a bottom 3 consisting of two leaves, each of which is made of metal sheets with perforation to facilitate the construction and swelling of excess moisture; locks-latches 4, connecting the side walls and the bottom flaps, springs 5, loops 6, connecting the side walls and the bottom flaps, aerators, humidifiers 7 and lugs 8 for gripping with a lifting mechanism.

The device operates as follows. When the bottom flaps are closed, the container is filled with plant material intended for composting. For regular aeration or moistening, water and (or) air pipes are connected to the outlets of the perforated aeration and (or) humidification tubes. After connecting the water and (or) air pipes to the exits of the perforated tubes of the container, the flow of air and (or) water into the compost mass begins with a given duration and frequency of cycles. After the composting period has passed, unloading of the finished compost is carried out through gravity-opening bottom flaps.

Thus, uniform aeration and (or) moistening of plant materials occurs during the compost preparation process using high-level technology with low metal consumption, ease of manufacture, installation and dismantling.
