[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0020] An aerobic fermentation aeration device for organic waste, Figure 1-Figure 2 , including a hollow horizontal frame 2 and a telescopic aeration pipe. The hollow horizontal frame 2 is horizontally fixed above the fermentation tank. It adopts a hollow tubular structure with a main air cavity formed inside. One end is connected to the aeration fan through a flange and the other end is closed; a plurality of air path interfaces 3 are arranged at equal intervals at the bottom of the hollow horizontal frame 2, and each air path interface 3 is connected to a telescopic aeration pipe 4 through a quick-release joint.

[0021] The telescopic aeration pipe 4 comprises several nested pipe sections of equal length, specifically a main pipe section and nested movable pipe sections. The upper end of the main pipe section is fixed below the hollow cross frame 2 and connected to the corresponding air path interface 3. The movable pipe section can be extended and retracted axially along the main pipe section. Each movable pipe section has aeration holes 5 distributed along the pipe body. In the nested connection structure of two adjacent pipe sections, a retaining ring is provided on the inner side of the bottom pipe opening of the upper pipe section, and a raised ring is provided on the outer side of the top of the next pipe section. The retaining ring can be restrained against the raised ring to prevent the movable pipe section from dislodging during extension and retraction. A sealing rubber is also provided on the inner side of the retaining ring to prevent gas from escaping through the gap between the two adjacent pipe sections during extension and retraction.

[0022] The telescopic aeration tube 4 comprises several movable sections, each with aeration holes 2-5 mm in diameter on its sidewalls. The innermost movable section has a tapered tip 6 at its bottom to reduce resistance during insertion into the pile. The spacing between the aeration holes 5 on the movable sections decreases as you move from top to bottom.

[0023] The aeration device of the present application also includes a wire rope 9, an electric motor 8 and a rotating shaft 7. A spring 10 is provided between each adjacent pipe section. One end of the wire rope 9 passes through the top of the main pipe section into its internal center, and after passing through the internal center of all movable pipe sections, it is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the innermost movable pipe section. The other end of the wire rope 9 is connected to the driving mechanism; when the driving mechanism tightens the wire rope, the elastic force of the spring 10 is overcome, and the movable pipe section is retracted and compressed. When the driving mechanism acts in the reverse direction to relax the wire rope, the movable pipe section is pulled out and extended under the action of the elastic force of the spring 10.

[0024] The inner side of the top pipe opening of each pipe section is provided with a horizontal perforated plate, and a spring is connected to the center of the perforated plate to fix the spring; the steel wire rope 9 passes through the center of the spring, one end of the steel wire rope 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the innermost movable pipe section, and the other end of the steel wire rope 9 passes out of the perforated plate of the main pipe section.

[0025] One end of the steel wire rope 9 passes into the interior of the main pipe section from the top thereof, passes through the center of the spring, and is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the innermost movable pipe section, and the other end of the steel wire rope 9 is wound on the rotating shaft 7; the electric motor 8 can drive the rotating shaft 7 to rotate forward or reversely, so as to tighten or loosen the steel wire rope 9. The extension and retraction of the pipe need to rely on the electric motor 8 to drive the rotating shaft 7 to rotate; when the rotating shaft 7 rotates to tighten the steel wire rope, the movable pipe section is retracted and compressed by overcoming the elastic force of the spring 10; when the rotating shaft 7 reversely rotates to loosen the steel wire rope, the movable pipe section is pulled out and elongated under the elastic force of the spring 10.

[0026] The hollow cross frame 2 is anchored to the roof beam of the factory building through the I-shaped steel fixing frame 1.

[0027] Further in the present application, the upper end of the steel wire rope 9 can directly pass out of the air path interface 3 and the hollow cross frame 2 in sequence and be wound on the rotating shaft 7.

[0028] The technical points of the present application include:

[0029] 1. The surface of the hollow cross frame is coated with a corrosion-resistant coating (such as polytetrafluoroethylene), and a dustproof sealing ring is arranged at the air path interface;

[0030] 2. The material of the telescopic aeration pipe is wear-resistant material, and in particular, the conical head at the bottom end of the innermost movable pipe section is high-strength wear-resistant material;

[0031] 3. The extension and retraction process of the telescopic aeration pipe 4 and the start-stop sequence of the aeration blower are that before the telescopic aeration pipe 4 is elongated, the aeration blower is started, and after the telescopic aeration pipe 4 is elongated or retracted, the aeration blower is stopped, so as to prevent the telescopic aeration pipe 4 from being blocked.

[0032] Embodiment: As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The hollow cross frame 2 adopts a DN200 stainless steel pipe, is horizontally arranged at a position 600 mm above the fermentation tank, and is anchored to the roof beam of the factory building through the I-shaped steel fixing frame 1. A 7.5 kW centrifugal aeration blower is connected to the internal main air cavity of the hollow cross frame 2, and the air volume can be adjusted in a range of 500-2000 m 3 / h. Six DN100 air ports 3 are welded to the bottom of the hollow cross frame 2. Each port is connected to a telescopic aeration pipe 4 via a clamp. The telescopic aeration pipe 4 consists of five nested pipe sections. The outermost main pipe section is a DN100 stainless steel pipe. The remaining four movable pipe sections are DN92, DN84, DN76, and DN68, respectively, from the outside inward. The bottom of the innermost pipe section is configured with a tapered head 6. Each section is 500mm long.

[0033] There is a two-layer nested structure between the two adjacent pipe sections of the telescopic aeration pipe 4, and the gap between the two layers is about 3mm. The extension and retraction of the movable pipe section requires the electric motor 8 to drive the rotating shaft 7 to rotate. A steel wire rope 9 is wrapped around the rotating shaft 7. After passing through the center of the spring, the steel wire rope is connected to and fixed at the top of the bottom of the innermost pipe section.

[0034] A spring 10 is installed between each adjacent pipe segment. When the shaft 7 rotates, tightening the wire rope, the spring 10 overcomes its force, retracting and compressing the movable pipe segment. When the shaft 7 rotates in the opposite direction, loosening the wire rope, the spring 10 stretches the movable pipe segment. Aeration holes 5 are distributed along the movable pipe segment, with a diameter of 3mm. The spacing between the holes decreases from 10cm at the top of the first movable pipe segment to 5cm at the end of the last movable pipe segment, ensuring uniform airflow throughout the stockpile.

[0035] Workflow:

[0036] S1 Feeding stage: When the material conveying equipment is started, a retraction command is sent to the electric motor 8, the movable pipe section is retracted into the main pipe section, and the telescopic aeration pipe is completely retracted to above the material to avoid interference with the forklift;

[0037] S2 fermentation stage: After the material is filled, the electric motor 8 drives the shaft to move, the movable pipe section extends, the conical head 6 is inserted into the material pile to 5 cm from the bottom of the tank, and the aeration fan starts to supply oxygen;

[0038] S3 discharge stage: After fermentation is completed, the aeration pipe is retracted again and the pile is kept out of the way during emptying.

[0039] When the telescopic aeration tube is contracted and extended, the aeration tube is ventilated first and then extended.

[0040] The contents described in this specification are merely an enumeration of implementation forms of the inventive concept, and the protection scope of the present invention should not be considered as being limited to the specific forms described in the embodiments.
