[0025] The following reference Figure 1This application describes an aerobic fermentation continuous composting system according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0026] An embodiment of this application provides an aerobic fermentation continuous composting system, such as... Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 In this diagram, the X-axis is the first direction and the Y-axis is the second direction. An aerobic fermentation continuous composting system includes a fermentation chamber, a blower 200, and an aeration pipe network. The fermentation chamber includes multiple fermentation tanks 100, which are arranged side-by-side in the first direction. Each fermentation tank 100 forms multiple fermentation zones 110 in the second direction. The arrangement of multiple fermentation zones 110 enables miniaturized material distribution in the compost pile, allowing each pile in different fermentation zones 110 to undergo different fermentation times. This utilizes the heat energy generated by the decomposition of the compost pile, solving problems such as difficulty in heat generation, slow temperature rise, and long fermentation cycles. It can be understood that by setting fermentation zones 110 in the second direction and sequentially distributing material within these zones, the pile with material distributed first will ferment and generate heat first. The pile with material distributed later can utilize the heat energy generated by the decomposition of the earlier pile, shortening the composting cycle and avoiding the problem of difficulty in heating the pile, thus reducing the management difficulty of the composting process.
[0027] Multiple blower devices 200 are provided, located on one side of the fermentation chamber. These blower devices 200 are arranged side-by-side in a second direction. Correspondingly, multiple aeration pipe networks are also provided. Each aeration pipe network includes a main pipe 310 and multiple branch pipes 320. One end of the main pipe 310 is connected to a blower device 200, and the other end extends into the fermentation chamber and passes through multiple fermentation tanks 100 along a first direction. The fermentation zone 110, blower devices 200, and aeration pipe networks correspond one-to-one. Through the multiple blower devices 200 and aeration pipe networks, each fermentation zone 110 in the second direction receives stepped aeration. This allows for heat dissipation based on the material distribution time of each miniaturized pile, ensuring effective heat dissipation while saving energy. Multiple branch pipes 320 are spaced apart on the main pipe 310 and are arranged opposite each other in the second direction, facing towards the second direction. This ensures effective heat dissipation from the aeration pipe network to the fermentation zone 110, achieving sufficient heat dissipation.
[0028] According to some embodiments of this application, the fermentation chamber is provided with a groove, and the aeration pipe network is disposed within the groove. The aeration pipe network includes a main pipe 310 and multiple branch pipes 320. One end of the main pipe 310 is connected to the blower 200, and the other end of the main pipe 310 extends into the fermentation chamber along a first direction and passes through multiple fermentation tanks 100. The fermentation chamber is provided with a groove adapted to the main pipe 310 and the branch pipes 320. The groove accommodates the main pipe 310 and the branch pipes 320 of the aeration pipe network to facilitate the layout of the aeration pipe network.
[0029] According to some embodiments of this application, the length of the branch pipe 320 in the second direction is 10% to 20% of the length of the fermentation tank 100 in the second direction. In some embodiments, five fermentation zones 110 are provided, in which case the length of the fermentation zone 110 is one-fifth of the length of the fermentation tank 100, and the length of the material spreading device in a single application is one-fifth of the length of the fermentation tank 100. In other embodiments, ten fermentation zones 110 are provided, in which case the length of the fermentation zone 110 is one-tenth of the length of the fermentation tank 100, and the length of the material spreading device in a single application is one-tenth of the length of the fermentation tank 100.
[0030] According to some embodiments of this application, a plurality of aeration holes are provided on the branch pipe 320, and the plurality of aeration holes are evenly distributed on the branch pipe 320. The aeration holes on the branch pipe 320 improve the aeration effect and achieve sufficient heat dissipation. Specifically, in some embodiments, the spacing between each aeration hole is less than or equal to 30 cm. In other embodiments, the diameter of the aeration holes is set to 3-8 mm. The number of aeration holes, the spacing between the aeration holes, and the diameter of the aeration holes can be adjusted according to actual needs, all of which are within the protection scope of this application.
[0031] Multiple fermentation tanks 100 are arranged side by side in the first direction, and the width and height of the multiple fermentation tanks 100 are the same to facilitate the feeding and discharging of materials. Specifically, in some embodiments, the length of the fermentation chamber in the first direction is less than 15m, and the length of the fermentation tank in the first direction is less than 4m.
[0032] According to some embodiments of this application, the blower device 200 includes a blower and a blower control module. The blower control module is equipped with a temperature sensor, which is located inside the fermentation chamber. After the material is placed in the fermentation zone 110, the temperature sensor is located in the middle of the pile, with a depth greater than 1m within the pile. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the blower control module. When the temperature sensor detects that the pile temperature reaches 65°C or above, it sends a signal to the blower control module, which then controls the blower's ventilation rate to be 0.1-0.2 m³ / (min·m³). When the temperature sensor detects that the pile temperature drops to 60°C or below, it sends a signal to the blower control module, which then controls the blower's ventilation rate to be 0.05-0.1 m³ / (min·m³). When the temperature sensor detects that the pile temperature drops to 45°C or below, it sends a signal to the blower control module, which then controls the blower to stop ventilation. In some embodiments, the blower is a centrifugal blower. In other embodiments, the blower may also be a Roots blower or an air pump, which can also achieve ventilation and heat dissipation for the fermentation zone 110.
[0033] According to some embodiments of this application, a material-laying device (not shown in the figures) is also included. The material-laying device is disposed above the fermentation chamber and is used to lay material into the fermentation chamber. The fermentation chamber includes multiple fermentation tanks 100, and each fermentation tank 100 forms multiple fermentation zones 110 in a second direction. The material-laying device is capable of laying material individually into each fermentation zone 110. The initial laying point of the material-laying device is located on the side where the fermentation tank 100 discharges material, and the material is continuously laid out at time intervals. Specifically, the material-laying device lays material into the fermentation zones 110 along the second direction at time intervals, and the length of a single laying operation is the length of one fermentation zone 110. In some embodiments, the time interval for continuous laying by the material-laying device is one to three days.
[0034] According to some embodiments of this application, a plurality of discharge devices 400 are also included, the number of which corresponds to the number of fermentation tanks 100. The discharge devices 400 are disposed on one side of the fermentation tank 100. The discharge devices 400 are used for discharging material from the pile. The discharge devices 400 are disposed correspondingly to the fermentation tanks 100. The initial material distribution point of the pile is located on the side of the fermentation tank 100 near the discharge device 400. The piles are continuously arranged according to time intervals. The fermentation tank 100 forms a plurality of fermentation zones 110 in the second direction. The arrangement of the plurality of fermentation zones 110 enables the miniaturization of material distribution in the pile. Each pile in different fermentation zones 110 is in a different fermentation time. The piles near the discharge device 400 are distributed the earliest and will ferment and generate heat first. This ensures that the piles that are distributed first are discharged first, guaranteeing the discharge process and forming a continuous fermentation mode.
[0035] Specifically, in some embodiments, the discharge device 400 includes a discharge screw, a screw rotation drive component, and a screw translation drive component. The screw rotation drive component drives the discharge screw to rotate, and the rotation of the discharge screw can drive the pile to discharge material. The screw translation drive component drives the discharge screw to translate, and the discharge screw translates to the fermentation zone 110 inside the fermentation chamber, which can discharge material from the pile in other fermentation zones 110.

Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application.
