Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aerobic composting fermentation treatment, in particular to an automatic high-efficiency composting fermentation device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The aerobic composting technology is based on the directional regulation of specific and facultative aerobic microbial flora. By scientifically proportioning organic raw materials and conditioning agents, a suitable biological reaction system is constructed. Under the dynamic balance of precise control of moisture content and aeration rate, the microbial community realizes efficient mineralization and humification of organic matter through the tricarboxylic acid cycle. The biological heat energy (55-70℃) generated by the metabolic activity of the microbial community can form a sustained high-temperature inactivation effect, effectively eliminating the activity of pathogenic microorganisms and weed seeds, and ultimately realizing the stabilization and resource utilization of organic waste.

[0003] In industrial application, the aerobic composting technology mainly uses open-air strip pile static fermentation process. Due to its low cost, simple operation and adaptability to large-scale treatment, it has become the mainstream choice for resource utilization of agricultural waste, livestock and poultry manure and other organic solid waste. However, this process has great limitations in production stability, environmental compliance and production regulation. On the one hand, due to open-air production, the environmental dependence is extremely high. Precipitation penetration not only causes acidification of the pile and accelerates the dissolution of heavy metals, but also can cause leachate pollution of groundwater. In low-temperature seasons, biological activity is inhibited, which not only prolongs the composting period, but also easily breeds mosquitoes and flies. On the other hand, in the open system, there is a serious unorganized emission of ammonia, VOCs and other odorous substances. Leachate and surface runoff can cause soil and groundwater pollution. In addition, the monitoring lag problem is prominent. The 4-6 hour data vacuum period caused by manual inspection not only misses the microbial metabolic regulation window, but also makes the humic acid content fluctuate by more than 8 percentage points and the heavy metal passivation efficiency less than 75%. Moreover, the low degree of mechanization exacerbates the production problems. The uneven oxygen distribution and heat island effect caused by turning operation lead to a composting degree difference rate of more than 40%. Dust pollution in material transfer and the homogenization dilemma caused by manual intervention make the production efficiency and environmental risk coexist. These systematic defects seriously restrict the market application and environmental compliance of the composting technology.

[0022] Working principle of the application: Refer to the drawings in the specification Figures 1-4For this kind of automated high-efficiency compost fermentation device, in use, firstly, the membrane covering system 1 is composed of a fixed support frame 5 and a nano semi-permeable membrane 6. The fixed support frame 5 provides a stable support structure for the nano semi-permeable membrane 6, which stably covers the outermost layer of the composting device. The nano semi-permeable membrane 6 is a composite polymer selective permeable membrane. The surface layer and the inner layer are made of polyester fiber material, and the middle layer is an E-PTFE functional membrane material. It has selective permeability, and the membrane is distributed with micrometer-sized air permeable holes. These air permeable holes allow the air and water vapor generated inside the pile to be discharged outside the membrane, maintaining the gas exchange and humidity balance inside the pile. At the same time, the nano membrane can effectively block the influence of external rain and snow weather on the pile, prevent rainwater from entering the pile and causing excessive humidity, and also prevent the leakage of volatile organic compounds, heat, odor, dust, pathogenic bacteria, etc., reducing environmental pollution, and has good heat preservation effect, creating a stable temperature environment for composting fermentation. The aeration system 2 is mainly composed of a blower 7, an aeration pipe 8 and a grid 9. The blower 7 is located at the lower side of the outside of the composting device. After starting, it sucks the external air and transports it to the lower part of the pile inside through the aeration pipe 8 connected by the output end. The aeration pipe 8 extends into the pile, and the grid 9 arranged above it covers the aeration pipe 8 and directly contacts the composting material. The grid 9 plays a role in uniformly distributing air, so that the air blown by the blower 7 can be uniformly dispersed into the pile, providing sufficient oxygen for the composting material, promoting the growth and metabolic activity of aerobic microorganisms, and accelerating the decomposition and transformation of organic matter. At the same time, cooperating with the membrane covering system 1, a micro-positive pressure state can be formed inside the pile, further ensuring the uniform distribution of oxygen, avoiding the generation of anaerobic zones, ensuring the uniformity of fermentation.

The turner 10 is located in the middle of the inside of the composting device and directly acts on the pile material. The slide rails 11 are fixed on the inner walls of the composting device on both sides. The turner 10 is provided with slide rails 11 on both sides above it. The driving component 12 is located on one side of the slide rail 11. The driving component 12 provides power for the turner 10 through mechanical transmission or other means, so that it can move on the slide rail 11. During the movement, the turner 10 mechanically turns and throws the composting material, fully mixes the material, realizes uniform turning, adjusts the temperature of the pile, avoids local temperature being too high or too low, balances the moisture content of the material, promotes the balanced progress of the composting process, improves the quality and efficiency of composting, and the intelligent detection control system 4 contains a valve 13 arranged at the pipeline of the aeration system 2 and a plurality of sensors 14 distributed in the pile. The sensors 14 are mainly composed of temperature sensors, oxygen content sensors, carbon dioxide sensors, humidity sensors and pressure sensors. These sensors 14 form an online monitoring module. The temperature sensor monitors the temperature change inside the pile in real time. When the temperature deviates from the appropriate fermentation range, the system can adjust the aeration amount or turning frequency according to the preset program to adjust the temperature. The oxygen content sensor detects the oxygen concentration in the pile. If the oxygen is insufficient, the system controls the blower 7 to increase the air volume.If oxygen is excessive, reduce the blast volume, carbon dioxide sensor monitors the production of carbon dioxide, auxiliary judgment fermentation process, humidity sensor real-time acquisition of the stack humidity data, when the humidity is too high or too low, the system can take appropriate measures, such as adjusting the ventilation or supplement water, pressure sensor monitors the stack pressure, ensure the stability of the stack structure, valve 13 for adjusting the pipeline of aeration system 2, according to the data feedback by sensor 14 and the system preset control strategy, accurate control of the amount of air into the stack, realize the intelligent control of compost fermentation process; When the device is invented, first of all, collect the organic material suitable for compost fermentation, and carry out appropriate crushing and pretreatment, so that the particle size is uniform, which is convenient for fermentation, check whether each part of the automatic high-efficiency compost fermentation device is intact, check whether the fixed support frame 5 of the film covering system 1 is stable, whether the nano semi-permeable membrane 6 is damaged, whether the air blower 7, aeration pipe 8 and grid 9 of the aeration system 2 are unobstructed, and whether the connection is tight, check whether the turning machine 10, slide rail 11 and driving part 12 of the automatic turning system 3 can operate normally, check whether the sensor 14 and valve 13 of the intelligent detection control system 4 are sensitive and reliable, select a suitable site to install the compost device, ensure that the site is flat, well ventilated and smooth in drainage, assemble and fix the device according to the design requirements, ensure that the connection between each system is correct, fill the pretreated organic material into the compost device uniformly, pay attention to control the filling height and compactness of the material, avoid too loose or too tight to affect the fermentation effect, start the intelligent detection control system 4, aeration system 2 and automatic turning system 3 in turn, the intelligent detection control system 4 starts to monitor the parameters inside the pile in real time, the aeration system 2 starts to blow and expose oxygen according to the preset initial parameters, the automatic turning system 3 is in standby state, and the turning operation is carried out according to the system instruction, the temperature, oxygen content, carbon dioxide concentration, humidity and pressure and other parameters inside the pile are checked in real time through the intelligent detection control system 4, the valve 13 of the aeration system 2 and the turning frequency of the automatic turning system 3 are adjusted according to the fermentation stage and the preset parameter range, for example, in the early stage of fermentation, the temperature is low, the aeration amount can be appropriately increased, and the turning frequency can be increased to promote the temperature rise of the material, in the high temperature period of fermentation, attention should be paid to control the temperature not to exceed the appropriate range, the aeration amount can be reduced or the turning frequency can be increased to reduce the temperature, in the later stage of fermentation, the aeration amount and turning frequency are gradually reduced with the increase of the composting degree of the material, the compost device is checked and maintained regularly, including checking the cleanliness and integrity of the nano semi-permeable membrane 6, cleaning the dust and sundries on the surface of the membrane in time, checking whether the aeration pipe 8 is blocked, replacing the cutter of the turning machine 10 in time if it is worn, checking the accuracy of the sensor 14 and calibrating it regularly, when the temperature of the pile tends to be stable and no longer increases obviously, the color of the material changes to dark brown or black brown, and has humus odor, and the parameters meet the standard of mature compost, it can be judged that the fermentation is completed, the operation of the aeration system 2 and the automatic turning system 3 is stopped, the discharge port of the compost device is opened, and the mature compost material is taken out, after discharging, the device is cleaned and disinfected, and is prepared for the next fermentation.
