[0002] Composting, as a way to convert organic waste into organic fertilizer, involves using microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes, which are widely distributed in nature, to decompose the biodegradable components of organic waste in a carefully controlled environment. Through this process, organic waste is stabilized and rendered harmless, ultimately transforming into humus rich in plant nutrients and organic matter.

[0003] In related technologies, when implementing composting, operators directly dump agricultural waste such as straw and livestock manure into the composting pit and let it compost naturally. However, this method has drawbacks: the composting process is time-consuming, resulting in low composting efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a biochemical treatment device that aims to solve the technical problem of low composting efficiency in related technologies.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of this application, a composting apparatus is provided, comprising: a composting container having a composting space for containing composting materials and being rotatable; a cutting element disposed within the composting space and being rotatable relative to the composting container for cutting the composting materials within the composting space; and a spraying element disposed within the composting space for spraying liquid toward the composting space.

[0006] Optionally, the composting device further includes a first driving member and a second driving member. The first driving member is driven to connect with the composting container and is used to drive the composting container to rotate. The second driving member is driven to connect with the cutting member and is used to drive the cutting member to rotate.

[0007] Optionally, the composting device further includes a detection element and a control element. The detection element is disposed in the composting space and is used to detect the temperature and / or humidity in the composting space. The control element is wirelessly connected to the detection element, the first drive element, and the second drive element.

[0008] Optionally, the cutting component includes an installation structure and a cutting structure. The length direction of the installation structure is parallel to the axial direction of the compost container, and the second driving component is drivenly connected to the installation structure. The cutting structure is disposed on the installation structure.

[0009] Optionally, the mounting structure is a mounting pipe, and the surface of the mounting structure is provided with a first vent hole communicating with the interior of the mounting structure; the composting device also includes an air supply component, which is disposed in the mounting structure and communicates with the mounting structure for supplying air to the mounting structure; and / or, the length direction of the mounting structure is collinear with the axial direction of the composting container; and / or, the cutting structure includes a plurality of cutting blades spaced apart circumferentially along the mounting structure; and / or, the number of cutting structures is multiple, and the multiple cutting structures are spaced apart along the length direction of the mounting structure.

[0010] Optionally, the spraying element is a spray pipe, which is arranged along the axial direction of the composting container on the inner wall of the composting space; and / or, the inner wall of the composting space is provided with anti-slip protrusions, which are spirally arranged along the axial direction of the composting container.

[0011] Optionally, the composting container has an inlet and an outlet; when the composting device is placed horizontally on a surface, the inlet is located above the outlet in the vertical direction; the composting device also includes an inlet cover and an outlet cover, the inlet cover being disposed of in the composting device to block the inlet; the outlet cover being disposed of in the composting device to block the outlet.

[0012] Optionally, the compost container is tilted in the horizontal direction.

[0013] Optionally, the surface of the composting container is provided with a second vent that communicates with the composting space; and / or, the surface of the discharge cover away from the feed cover is provided with a third vent that extends through to the surface of the discharge cover near the feed cover and communicates with the composting space.

[0014] Optionally, the composting device further includes: an installation component, wherein the compost container is disposed on the installation component; a collection container, disposed on the installation component and located vertically below the compost container; a filter component, disposed within the collection container and dividing the internal space of the collection container into an inlet space and an outlet space; a flow guide component, disposed on the installation component and surrounding part of the compost container along the axial direction of the compost container, wherein the end of the flow guide component near the inlet cover is vertically higher than the end of the flow guide component near the outlet cover, and the end of the flow guide component near the outlet cover faces the inlet space; and a liquid supply component, disposed within the outlet space and connected to the spray component.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the composting device provided in this application are as follows: When using the composting device of this application, the composting material is first loaded into the composting space, and then the cutting component is activated to cut the larger volume of composting material into smaller volumes; during this process, liquid is sprayed into the composting space through the spraying component. After the cutting component rotates for a period of time, it stops rotating, and at this time the composting device is allowed to stand still for a period of time to promote the initial reaction of the composting material.

[0016] Next, the compost container is started. As the container rotates, the compost material within the composting space tumbles continuously, achieving more thorough mixing and dispersion. During this process, the stationary cutting component further cuts the tumbling compost material, reducing its volume further. Simultaneously, the spraying component continues to spray liquid into the composting space. After the compost container rotates for a period of time, it stops, and the composting device enters a settling phase again. Subsequently, either the cutting component or the compost container can be allowed to continue rotating, during which time the spraying component continues to spray liquid into the composting space. This cycle is repeated multiple times, allowing the compost material to be efficiently composted.

[0017] On the one hand, the rotating compost container allows the compost material within the composting space to continuously tumble and mix, while the rotating cutting component cuts and breaks down the compost material. The combined effect of the compost container and the cutting component significantly increases the contact area between the compost material and air and microorganisms, effectively accelerating microbial decomposition during composting, shortening the composting time, and improving composting efficiency. Furthermore, the spraying component can spray appropriate amounts of water or other liquids into the composting space according to the needs of composting, maintaining suitable humidity and a suitable microbial environment during the composting process, thereby accelerating the composting process and improving composting efficiency.

[0018] On the other hand, composting equipment achieves automatic mixing and cutting of compost materials through rotating compost containers and cutting components, reducing the labor intensity of operators.

[0019] On the other hand, the independent rotation of the compost container and the cutting component allows for more complex flow and tumbling effects of the compost material within the composting space. The rotation of the compost container causes the compost material to tumble as a whole, while the independent rotation of the cutting component creates localized agitation and mixing. This dual effect allows the compost material to be more fully mixed and dispersed within the composting space, which helps improve the uniformity of the compost. Attached Figure Description

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0048] As described in the background section, composting, as a method of converting organic waste into organic fertilizer, involves the aerobic or anaerobic decomposition of biodegradable components in organic waste under carefully controlled conditions, utilizing microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes, which are widely distributed in nature. Through this process, organic waste is stabilized and rendered harmless, ultimately transforming into humus rich in plant nutrients and organic matter. In related technologies, during composting, operators directly dump agricultural waste such as straw and livestock manure into composting pits, allowing it to decompose naturally. However, this method has drawbacks; the composting process is time-consuming, resulting in low efficiency.

[0049] Reference Figures 1 to 4 To address the aforementioned problems, according to one aspect of this application, an embodiment of this application provides a composting apparatus. The composting apparatus includes a composting container 100, a cutting component 200, and a spraying component 300. The composting container 100 has a composting space 110 for containing compost material and is rotatable. The cutting component 200 is disposed within the composting space 110 and is rotatable relative to the composting container 100 for cutting the compost material within the composting space 110. The spraying component 300 is disposed within the composting space 110 for spraying liquid into the composting space 110.

[0050] In this embodiment, the compost container 100 is a composting cylinder, capable of rotating around its own axis; it is understood that the compost container 100 can also be a composting tank or composting bin. When the cutting component 200 rotates, the compost container 100 can remain stationary; when the cutting component 200 is stationary, the compost container 100 can rotate; it is understood that when the cutting component 200 rotates, the compost container 100 can also rotate at a differential speed. The liquid sprayed by the spraying component 300 into the composting space 110 is water; it is understood that the liquid sprayed by the spraying component 300 into the composting space 110 can also be urine, bacterial liquid, or other fermentation liquid.

[0051] When using the composting device of this application, the composting material is first loaded into the composting space 110, and then the cutting component 200 is activated to cut the larger volume of composting material into smaller volumes. During this process, liquid is sprayed into the composting space 110 through the spraying component 300. After the cutting component 200 rotates for a period of time, it stops rotating. At this time, the composting device is allowed to stand still for a period of time to promote the initial reaction of the composting material.

[0052] Next, the compost container 100 is started. As the compost container 100 rotates, the compost material in the composting space 110 continuously tumbles, achieving more thorough mixing and dispersion. During this process, the stationary cutting component 200 further cuts the tumbling compost material, reducing its volume further. Simultaneously, the spraying component 300 continues to spray liquid into the composting space 110. After the compost container 100 rotates for a period of time, it stops, and the composting device enters a settling phase again. Subsequently, either the cutting component 200 or the compost container 100 can be allowed to continue rotating, during which time the spraying component 300 continues to spray liquid into the composting space 110. This cycle is repeated multiple times, allowing the compost material to be efficiently composted.

[0053] On the one hand, the rotating compost container 100 allows the compost material within the composting space 110 to continuously tumble and mix, while the rotating cutting component 200 cuts and breaks down the compost material. Under the combined action of the compost container 100 and the cutting component 200, the contact area between the compost material and air and microorganisms significantly increases, effectively accelerating the decomposition process by microorganisms, shortening the composting time, and improving composting efficiency. Furthermore, the spraying component 300 can spray appropriate amounts of water or other liquids into the composting space 110 according to the composting needs, maintaining suitable humidity and a suitable microbial environment during composting, thereby accelerating the composting process and improving composting efficiency.

[0054] On the other hand, the composting device achieves automatic mixing and cutting of compost materials through the rotating compost container 100 and the cutting component 200, reducing the labor intensity of operators.

[0055] On the other hand, the independent rotation of the compost container 100 and the cutting component 200 allows for more complex flow and tumbling effects of the compost material within the composting space 110. The rotation of the compost container 100 causes the compost material to tumble as a whole, while the independent rotation of the cutting component 200 causes localized agitation and mixing of the compost material. This dual effect allows the compost material to be more fully mixed and dispersed within the composting space 110, which helps to improve the uniformity of the compost.

[0056] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the composting device further includes a first driving member 400 and a second driving member 500. The first driving member 400 is drivenly connected to the compost container 100 and is used to drive the compost container 100 to rotate. The second driving member 500 is drivenly connected to the cutting member 200 and is used to drive the cutting member 200 to rotate.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first driving component 400 includes a first driving motor 410 and a first transmission chain 420. A first main transmission wheel is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the first driving motor 410, and a first driven transmission wheel is fixedly sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the compost container 100. The first transmission chain 420 meshes with the first main transmission wheel and the first driven transmission wheel. The second driving component 500 includes a second driving motor 510 and a second transmission chain 520. A second main transmission wheel is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the second driving motor 510, and a second driven transmission wheel is fixedly sleeved on the cutting component 200. The second transmission chain 520 meshes with the second main transmission wheel and the second driven transmission wheel. It is understood that both the first driving component 400 and the second driving component 500 can also be driving motors, with the output shaft of the first driving component 400 directly connected to the compost container 100 and the output shaft of the second driving component 500 directly connected to the cutting component 200.

[0058] The first driving component 400 drives the compost container 100 to rotate, causing the compost material in the composting space 110 to tumble as a whole, thereby achieving large-scale mixing; the second driving component 500 drives the cutting component 200 to rotate, performing local stirring and cutting of the compost material; the two work together to make the mixing and dispersion of the compost material in the composting space 110 more thorough, which helps to improve the uniformity of composting.

[0059] Simultaneously, the first drive component 400 and the second drive component 500 independently control the rotation of the compost container 100 and the cutting component 200, respectively. The rotation time, speed, and other parameters of the compost container 100 and the cutting component 200 can be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of different stages of composting. For example, in the initial stage of composting, the cutting component 200 can rotate rapidly to cut the compost material into finer pieces, and then the compost container 100 can rotate to ensure thorough mixing of the compost. In the later stage of composting, the rotation speed can be reduced to maintain the stability of the composting environment. This automated control reduces manual intervention and lowers the labor intensity of operators.

[0060] In addition, the first drive component 400 and the second drive component 500 respectively undertake the driving tasks of the compost container 100 and the cutting component 200. Compared with using the same drive component to drive the compost container 100 and the cutting component 200 at the same time, the service life of the first drive component 400 and the second drive component 500 is effectively extended.

[0061] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment, the composting device further includes a detection element 600 and a control element 700. The detection element 600 is disposed in the composting space 110 and is used to detect the temperature and / or humidity in the composting space 110. The control element 700 is wirelessly connected to the detection element 600, the first drive element 400 and the second drive element 500.

[0062] In this embodiment, the detection element 600 is a temperature and humidity sensor, used to simultaneously detect the temperature and humidity within the composting space 110; it is understood that the detection element 600 can also be a temperature sensor or a humidity sensor. The control element 700 is a control panel, which is wirelessly connected to the detection element 600, the first drive motor 410, and the second drive motor 510 via a Bluetooth module or a WiFi module (WiFi stands for Wireless Fidelity); it is understood that the control element 700 can also be a console or a control base.

[0063] During the operation of the composting device, the detection unit 600 continuously monitors the temperature and humidity in the composting space 110 in real time. When the humidity rises to the range of 50% to 60% or the temperature reaches 60°C, the detection unit 600 immediately sends a corresponding signal to the control unit 700. After receiving the signal, the control unit 700 issues a start command to the first drive unit 400 or the second drive unit to drive the composting container 100 or the cutting unit 200 to start rotating, so as to achieve intelligent control and realize the precise advancement of the composting process.

[0064] Thanks to the wireless communication connection between the control unit 700 and the detection unit 600, the first drive unit 400 and the second drive unit 500, the control unit 700 can flexibly and intelligently adjust the operating status of the first drive unit 400 and the second drive unit 500 based on the temperature and humidity data fed back by the detection unit 600. This intelligent control method can adjust the equipment operating parameters in real time according to the actual needs of composting, optimize composting conditions, and improve composting efficiency and quality.

[0065] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment, the cutting member 200 includes a mounting structure 210 and a cutting structure 220. The length direction of the mounting structure 210 is parallel to the axial direction of the compost container 100, and the second driving member 500 is drivenly connected to the mounting structure 210. The cutting structure 220 is disposed on the mounting structure 210.

[0066] In this embodiment, part of the mounting structure 210 is located inside the composting space 110, and another part of the mounting structure 210 is located outside the composting space 110, and is fixedly fitted with a second driven wheel for driving connection with the second driving member 500. The cutting structure 220 is fixedly mounted on the mounting structure 210, and the detection member 600 is fixedly mounted on the mounting structure 210.

[0067] The mounting structure 210 serves to mount the cutting structure 220. Simultaneously, the length of the mounting structure 210 is parallel to the axial direction of the compost container 100. The first driving component 400 is driven by the mounting structure 210. This design makes the driving connection more direct and stable, helps transmit driving force, reduces energy loss and vibration during transmission, ensures the stability and reliability of the cutting structure 220's rotation, helps reduce wear on the cutting structure 220, and extends the service life of the cutting structure 220.

[0068] Reference Figure 4 In one embodiment, the length direction of the mounting structure 210 is collinear with the axial direction of the compost container 100.

[0069] In this embodiment, both the compost container 100 and the mounting structure 210 rotate around the same axis. Since the length direction of the mounting structure 210 is collinear with the axial direction of the compost container 100, the cutting structure 220, when rotating, will be symmetrically distributed around the axis of the compost container 100, symmetrically cutting the compost material inside the compost container 100. This makes the probability and degree of cutting of the compost material at each position more consistent, preventing over- or under-cutting in some areas due to eccentric cutting positions, further improving the uniformity of cutting, and facilitating sufficient contact and reaction between the compost material and microorganisms during subsequent composting.

[0070] Reference Figure 4 In one embodiment, the cutting structure 220 includes a plurality of cutting blades 221 arranged circumferentially spaced along the mounting structure 210.

[0071] In this embodiment, the cutting blade 221 is a serrated blade. It is understood that the cutting blade 221 can also be a straight blade, a spiral blade, an arc blade, a comb-shaped blade, or a disc-shaped blade. The cutting structure 220 contains three cutting blades 221, which are evenly spaced. It is understood that the cutting structure 220 can also contain two, four, or more cutting blades 221.

[0072] The circumferentially spaced cutting blades 221 can cover a larger area around the mounting structure 210, allowing more compost material to come into contact with and be cut by the cutting blades 221, reducing cutting dead angles and ensuring that most of the compost material in the composting space 110 can be effectively cut.

[0073] Meanwhile, the circumferential distribution of multiple cutting blades 221 allows the cutting force to be applied more evenly to the compost material; this results in more uniform particle size of the cut compost material, which is conducive to the full contact and reaction between microorganisms and compost material during the subsequent composting process, thereby improving the quality and stability of the compost.

[0074] Reference Figure 4 In one embodiment, there are multiple cutting structures 220, which are spaced apart along the length of the mounting structure 210.

[0075] In this embodiment, multiple cutting structures 220 are evenly arranged along the length of the mounting structure 210. The multiple cutting structures 220 spaced apart along the length of the mounting structure 210 not only allow the cutting structures 220 to cover a larger axial space within the compost container 100, but also ensure that the compost material within the compost container 100 is fully crushed, preventing some compost material from being left uncut and affecting the composting effect.

[0076] It can also perform multi-stage cutting of compost materials; when the compost materials move within the compost container 100, they will pass through different cutting structures 220 in sequence; each time they pass through a cutting structure 220, the compost materials will be further broken down, eventually reaching a finer particle size; this multi-stage cutting method can more effectively cut larger volumes of compost materials into small particles suitable for composting, increasing the contact area between the compost materials and air and microorganisms, thereby accelerating the composting process.

[0077] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment, the mounting structure 210 is a mounting pipe, and the surface of the mounting structure 210 is provided with a first vent 211 that communicates with the interior of the mounting structure 210; the composting device also includes an air supply component 800, which is disposed on one side of the composting container 100 and communicates with the mounting structure 210 for supplying air to the mounting structure 210.

[0078] In this embodiment, there are multiple first vent holes 211. Three first vent holes 211 form a group, with the three first vent holes 211 in a group spaced apart circumferentially along the mounting structure 210. Multiple groups of first vent holes 211 are spaced apart along the length of the mounting structure 210. The air supply component 800 is an air pump, located outside the composting space 110 and fixedly installed on the mounting structure 210. The air supply component 800 is electrically connected to the control component 700.

[0079] The air supply component 800 vents air into the mounting structure 210, and the gas diffuses into the composting space 110 through the first vent 211. During composting, the growth and reproduction of aerobic microorganisms require sufficient oxygen. This design not only ensures that the compost material in the composting space 110 receives a sufficient oxygen supply, promoting the activity of aerobic microorganisms and accelerating the decomposition of organic matter, thus significantly shortening the composting cycle and improving composting efficiency, but also promotes the evaporation of moisture in the compost and regulates the humidity within the composting space 110.

[0080] Reference Figure 4 In one embodiment, the spraying component 300 is a spray pipe, which is arranged along the axial direction of the compost container 100 on the inner wall of the composting space 110.

[0081] In this embodiment, the spray pipe is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the composting space 110. The spray element 300 is arranged along the axial direction of the composting container 100, which can evenly distribute the spray points along the axial direction of the composting space 110, so that water or other spray liquid can be evenly sprayed on the compost material, avoiding local over-wetness or over-dryness, providing a suitable humidity environment for composting microorganisms, which is conducive to the growth and metabolism of microorganisms, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of composting.

[0082] Meanwhile, the spraying component 300 is used in conjunction with the detection component 600 installed on the installation structure 210. This allows the detection component 600 to detect the corresponding humidity or temperature after the spray liquid has completely penetrated the compost material in the composting space 110. This effectively avoids localized over-wetness or over-dryness in the radial direction of the composting space 110, ensuring that the composting environment is maintained in an ideal state at all locations. This creates favorable conditions for the efficient decomposition of compost materials by microorganisms, significantly improving the quality and stability of the compost.

[0083] In addition, to improve spraying efficiency, there are multiple spray elements 300, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the composting space 110.

[0084] Reference Figure 4 In one embodiment, the inner wall of the composting space 110 is provided with anti-slip protrusions 120, which are spirally arranged along the axial direction of the composting container 100.

[0085] In this embodiment, the anti-slip protrusion 120 and the compost container 100 are integrally molded. When the compost container 100 or the cutting component 200 rotates, the spiral-shaped anti-slip protrusion 120 guides the compost material to move along the spiral direction, thereby ensuring that the compost material is fully mixed in both the axial and circumferential directions. This mixing method helps to break up the clumps of compost material, making the distribution of oxygen, moisture, microorganisms, etc. in the compost material more uniform, and improving the efficiency and quality of composting.

[0086] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the composting container 100 has an inlet and an outlet; when the composting device is placed horizontally on a placement surface, the inlet is located above the outlet in the vertical direction; the composting device also includes an inlet cover 900 and an outlet cover 1000, the inlet cover 900 being disposed in the composting device for sealing the inlet; the outlet cover 1000 being disposed in the composting device for sealing the outlet.

[0087] In this embodiment, the feed cover 900 is hinged to the compost container 100. Specifically, the feed cover 900 includes a first cover body 910 and a second cover body 920, which are symmetrically arranged about the axis of the compost container 100. Both the first cover body 910 and the second cover body 920 are hinged to the compost container 100 and are detachably connected by a connecting pin. It is understood that the feed cover 900 can also be detachably installed on the compost container 100 by means of threaded engagement. The discharge cover 1000 is detachably installed on the compost container 100. Specifically, the circumferential surface of the discharge cover 1000 is provided with external threads, and the inner wall surface of the discharge port is provided with internal threads. The discharge cover 1000 is detachably installed on the compost container 1000 by means of threaded engagement of the external and internal threads. It is understood that the discharge cover 1000 can also be detachably installed on the compost container 100 by means of snap-fit ​​or plug-in.

[0088] The feed inlet is located at the top, allowing compost material to flow smoothly into the composting space 110 under its own weight, thus improving feeding efficiency. The discharge outlet is located at the bottom, enabling the mature compost products to flow out naturally under gravity after composting, facilitating collection and transportation. Furthermore, the feed cover 900 and discharge cover 1000 are used to seal the feed inlet and discharge outlet respectively, forming a good seal during composting to prevent compost material from leaking into the external environment.

[0089] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the compost container 100 is inclined in the horizontal direction. The inclined compost container 100 not only causes the compost material to tend to slide downwards under its own weight, but also makes it easier for the compost material to flow between different positions when the compost container 100 or the cutting piece 200 rotates, thereby achieving more thorough mixing; in contrast, the compost material in a vertically arranged compost container 100 is prone to stratification, and the mixing effect is relatively poor.

[0090] It also makes the compost material more evenly distributed within the composting space 110, allowing heat and moisture to be distributed more evenly in the compost material, which helps maintain the stability of the entire composting process and improves the quality of compost.

[0091] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the surface of the compost container 100 is provided with a second vent 130 that communicates with the compost space 110.

[0092] In this embodiment, there are multiple second vent holes 130. Five second vent holes 130 are arranged as a group, and the five second vent holes 130 in a group are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the compost container 100. Multiple groups of second vent holes 130 are arranged at intervals along the length of the compost container 100.

[0093] The second vent 130 not only provides an additional oxygen intake channel for the composting space 110, ensuring a more even distribution of oxygen in the compost material to meet the respiratory needs of microorganisms and promote the smooth progress of the composting process, but also helps regulate the humidity of the composting space 110. On the one hand, it allows water vapor generated during the composting process to escape through the second vent 130, preventing the compost material from becoming too wet and avoiding problems such as oxygen deficiency and inhibition of microbial activity caused by excessive humidity. On the other hand, dry outside air can also enter the composting space 110 through the second vent 130, moderately regulating the humidity of the compost material and keeping it within a suitable range.

[0094] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, a third vent 1010 is provided on the surface of the discharge cover 1000 away from the feed cover 900. The third vent 1010 extends through to the surface of the discharge cover 1000 near the feed cover 900 and communicates with the composting space 110.

[0095] In this embodiment, there are multiple third vent holes 1010, and the multiple third vent holes 1010 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the discharge cover 1000.

[0096] The third vent 1010 not only provides an additional oxygen intake channel for the composting space 110, ensuring a more even distribution of oxygen in the compost material to meet the respiratory needs of microorganisms and promote the smooth progress of the composting process, but also helps regulate the humidity of the composting space 110. On the one hand, it allows water vapor generated during the composting process to escape through the third vent 1010, preventing the compost material from becoming too wet and avoiding problems such as oxygen deficiency and inhibition of microbial activity caused by excessive humidity. On the other hand, dry outside air can also enter the composting space 110 through the third vent 1010, moderately regulating the humidity of the compost material and keeping it within a suitable range.

[0097] Reference Figures 1 to 5In one embodiment, the composting device further includes a mounting component 1100, a collection container 1200, a filter component 1300, a flow guide component 1400, and a liquid supply component 1500. The compost container 100 is disposed on the mounting component 1100; the collection container 1200 is disposed on the mounting component 1100 and is located vertically below the compost container 100; the filter component 1300 is disposed within the collection container 1200 and divides the internal space of the collection container 1200 into a liquid inlet space 1. 210 and liquid outlet space 1220; the guide member 1400 is installed on the mounting member 1100 and surrounds part of the compost container 100 along the axial direction of the compost container 100. The end of the guide member 1400 near the feed cover 900 is higher in the vertical direction than the end of the guide member 1400 near the discharge cover 1000. The end of the guide member 1400 near the discharge cover 1000 is set towards the liquid inlet space 1210; the liquid supply member 1500 is installed in the liquid outlet space 1220 and is connected to the spray member 300.

[0098] In this embodiment, the mounting component 1100 is a mounting frame, and the compost container 100 is rotatably mounted on the mounting component 1100; the collection container 1200 is a collection basin or collection box, and the collection container 1200 is fixedly mounted on the mounting component 1100; the filter component 1300 is a filter screen, fixedly mounted inside the collection container 1200, and kept in contact with the bottom wall and side wall of the collection container 1200. The guide component 1400 is a guide arc plate, and the guide component 1400 is fixedly mounted on the mounting component 1100. The length direction of the guide component 1400 is parallel to the axial direction of the compost container 100. The end of the guide component 1400 near the discharge cover 1000 is located on the side of the discharge cover 1000 away from the inlet cover 900. The guide component 1400 is used to guide the liquid discharged from the composting space 110 to flow into the liquid inlet space 1210. The liquid supply unit 1500 is a water pump, which is installed in the liquid outlet space 1220 and connected to the spray unit 300 through a rotary joint. The liquid supply unit 1500 is also electrically connected to the control unit 700. In addition, to facilitate the movement of the composting device, the lower surface of the mounting unit 1100 is provided with casters 1600.

[0099] The collection container 1200 is positioned below the compost container 100, allowing for convenient collection of leachate discharged from the compost container 100 using the leachate's own gravity. The filter element 1300 within the collection container 1200 divides its internal space into an inlet space 1210 and an outlet space 1220, enabling the filtration of the leachate. The leachate enters the outlet space 1220 from the inlet space 1210 through the filter element 1300, effectively removing solid impurities and microbial cells from the leachate, resulting in a purer filtrate that is beneficial for subsequent treatment and utilization.

[0100] The guide component 1400 surrounds part of the container along the axial direction of the compost container 100, with one end higher than the other and facing the liquid inlet space 1210. This guides the liquid discharged from the compost space 110 to flow smoothly into the liquid inlet space 1210 of the collection container 1200. This design ensures that the leachate can be accurately collected at the designated location, preventing the liquid from flowing randomly around the composting device and keeping the environment around the device clean.

[0101] The liquid supply unit 1500 is located within the liquid outlet space 1220 and is connected to the spray unit 300, allowing the filtered liquid to be transported through the liquid supply unit 1500 to the spray unit 300, and then sprayed onto the compost material in the compost container 100. This helps maintain suitable humidity of the compost material, promotes microbial activity and the composting process, and at the same time realizes the recycling of liquid, improves the utilization rate of water resources, reduces the need for external water replenishment, and conforms to the concepts of environmental protection and resource conservation.

[0102] In summary, implementing the composting device provided in this embodiment has at least the following beneficial technical effects: When using the composting device of this application, the composting material is first loaded into the composting space 110, and then the cutting component 200 is activated to cut the larger volume of composting material into smaller volumes; during this process, liquid is sprayed into the composting space 110 through the spraying component 300. After the cutting component 200 rotates for a period of time, it stops rotating, and at this time the composting device is allowed to stand still for a period of time to promote the initial reaction of the composting material.

[0103] Next, the compost container 100 is started. As the compost container 100 rotates, the compost material in the composting space 110 continuously tumbles, achieving more thorough mixing and dispersion. During this process, the stationary cutting component 200 further cuts the tumbling compost material, reducing its volume further. Simultaneously, the spraying component 300 continues to spray liquid into the composting space 110. After the compost container 100 rotates for a period of time, it stops, and the composting device enters a settling phase again. Subsequently, either the cutting component 200 or the compost container 100 can be allowed to continue rotating, during which time the spraying component 300 continues to spray liquid into the composting space 110. This cycle is repeated multiple times, allowing the compost material to be efficiently composted.

[0104] On the one hand, the rotating compost container 100 allows the compost material within the composting space 110 to continuously tumble and mix, while the rotating cutting component 200 cuts and breaks down the compost material. Under the combined action of the compost container 100 and the cutting component 200, the contact area between the compost material and air and microorganisms significantly increases, effectively accelerating the decomposition process by microorganisms, shortening the composting time, and improving composting efficiency. Furthermore, the spraying component 300 can spray appropriate amounts of water or other liquids into the composting space 110 according to the composting needs, maintaining suitable humidity and a suitable microbial environment during composting, thereby accelerating the composting process and improving composting efficiency.

[0105] On the other hand, the composting device achieves automatic mixing and cutting of compost materials through the rotating compost container 100 and the cutting component 200, reducing the labor intensity of operators.

[0106] On the other hand, the independent rotation of the compost container 100 and the cutting component 200 allows for more complex flow and tumbling effects of the compost material within the composting space 110. The rotation of the compost container 100 causes the compost material to tumble as a whole, while the independent rotation of the cutting component 200 causes localized agitation and mixing of the compost material. This dual effect allows the compost material to be more fully mixed and dispersed within the composting space 110, which helps to improve the uniformity of the compost.

[0107] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
