The visual window 7 can facilitate the user to observe the storage situation in the buffer tank 3.

[0031] Furthermore, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, the feces separation device 8 in this embodiment includes a sedimentation bin body 9 and a lifting cylinder 10. The sedimentation bin body 9 is connected to the buffer tank 3 in the vacuum negative pressure station 1 through a pipeline. The sedimentation bin body 9 receives the mixed excrement pumped by the vacuum negative pressure station 1 and uses gravity to separate the excrement into layers.

A spiral shaft 11 is provided in the lifting cylinder 10, and an end cover 12 is provided at the upper end opening of the lifting cylinder 10 and a through hole communicating with the sedimentation bin body 9 is provided at the lower end. A first motor 13 is provided on the side wall surface of the upper end of the lifting cylinder 10 for driving the spiral shaft 11 to rotate. The first motor 13 drives the spiral shaft 11 to rotate through the first transmission component and drives the excrement deposited at the bottom of the sedimentation bin body 9 to spiral up. The first transmission component adopts an existing structure, which can be a gear structure or a pulley structure.

The groove portion 91 can gather the excrement deposited on the lower layer of the sedimentation bin body 9 near the lower end of the lifting cylinder 10, so that the spiral shaft 11 can drive a large amount of lower layer excrement to spiral upward when it rotates. At this time, the lower layer excrement is solid excrement mixed with a small amount of liquid excrement, which does not affect the overall solid-liquid separation.

[0033] Furthermore, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the spiral shaft 11 in this embodiment includes a rotating shaft 111 and a spiral blade 112 arranged on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 111, a stop portion 1121 is provided on the outer edge of the spiral blade 112, and the outer wall surface of the stop portion 1121 fits the inner wall surface of the lifting cylinder 10, and a stop portion 1121 is provided on the outer edge of the spiral blade 112, and the outer wall surface of the stop portion 1121 fits the inner wall surface of the lifting cylinder 10.

The silo 15 is connected to the upper end of the lifting cylinder 10 through a pipeline. The first motor 13 drives the spiral shaft 11 to rotate, driving the lower layer of excrement to spirally rise and then be transported to the silo 15. A stirring shaft 16 is provided in the silo 15. The stirring shaft 16 includes a rotating shaft 161 and a spiral stirring blade 162 provided on the rotating shaft 161. The spiral stirring blade 162 is provided with a plurality of spaced through holes 1621. The upper end of the silo 15 is provided with a stirring shaft 16 for driving the stirring shaft. 16 rotates the second motor 17, the second motor 17 can drive the stirring shaft 16 to rotate directly or through the second transmission component, the second transmission component adopts an existing structure, which can be a gear structure or a pulley structure; the rotation of the stirring shaft 16 drives the excreta and the microbial preparation to mix and spirally rise, and the spiral rises through the through hole 1621 and then falls back to the bottom, and repeats this process, so that the excreta and the microbial preparation are mixed and contacted more evenly and thoroughly, which greatly shortens the degradation time of the excreta in the bin body 15 and improves the degradation speed.

[0035] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a humidity control valve 18 is provided at the upper end of the bin body 15 and a temperature control plate 19 is provided on the side wall.

[0036] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the upper end of the bin body 15 in this embodiment is provided with a vent, and a deodorizing filter device 20 is provided on the vent. The gas generated after degradation in the bin body 15 is filtered and processed by the deodorizing filter device 20 and then discharged to ensure the fresh air of the external environment.

[0037] Furthermore, if Figure 1 、 Figure 4 As shown, a discharge port 151 is provided on the outer wall of the bin body 15 in this embodiment, and a sealing cover 21 is installed on the discharge port 151. The user can open the sealing cover 21 to replace the microbial agent and take out the residual material after biodegradation of excrement. The residual material can be used as organic fertilizer in forests, nurseries, etc.

[0038] Furthermore, if Figure 1 、 Figure 6As shown, the sewage treatment device 22 in this embodiment includes a sedimentation area 23, a filtration area 24, a purification area 25 and a clear water area 26 connected in sequence. The sedimentation area 23 of the sewage treatment device 22 is connected to the side wall of the sedimentation bin 9 through a pipeline to receive the upper layer of excrement transported, and to precipitate, filter and purify the upper layer of excrement. At this time, the upper layer of excrement is liquid excrement mixed with a small amount of local excrement; at the same time, the water tank 27 is connected to the clear water area 26 of the sewage treatment device 22 through a pipeline to receive and store the purified grey water. The grey water in the water tank 27 can be recycled for toilet flushing.

[0039] When used specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the mixed excrement in the buffer tank 3 is pumped into the sedimentation bin 9, and the mixed excrement is divided into upper and lower layers in the sedimentation bin 9. The lower layer of excrement is extracted from the lifting cylinder 10 by the spiral shaft 11 and transported to the bin 15 of the biodegradation device 14. The lower layer of excrement is mixed with the microbial agent by the rotation of the stirring shaft 16 in the bin 15. The gas generated after degradation in the bin 15 is filtered and treated by the deodorizing filter device 8 and then discharged; the upper layer of excrement in the sedimentation bin 9 is transported to the sewage treatment device 22 after it is full to a certain liquid level. The upper layer of excrement is precipitated, filtered and purified in the sewage treatment device 22 to become reclaimed water and stored in the water storage tank 27 for subsequent use.
