Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of degradation equipment technology, and more specifically, it relates to a composting degradation box for biodegradable materials. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional plastic products are difficult to decompose naturally after disposal, persisting in the environment for a long time and causing serious "white pollution." Landfilling occupies land, and incineration may produce harmful gases. To solve this problem, scientists have developed biodegradable materials. These materials are characterized by their ability to be gradually decomposed into water, carbon dioxide (or methane), and organic matter (humus) by naturally occurring microorganisms (such as bacteria and fungi) under specific conditions. However, these materials decompose very, very slowly in ordinary environments (such as exposure to air, burial in dry soil, or disposal in ordinary trash cans), potentially taking several years or even longer, failing to achieve rapid degradation and return to nature. Research has found that for these materials to degrade efficiently and quickly, several key conditions need to be met: suitable temperature, sufficient humidity, abundant microorganisms, and oxygen (for aerobic composting). Ordinary backyard composting or the natural environment is unlikely to stably provide these ideal conditions. Therefore, devices specifically designed to create and maintain the optimal degradation environment for biodegradable materials—composting degradation boxes—have emerged.
[0003] In existing technologies, it is inconvenient to move the container that supports the composting material, which affects the practicality of the composting container. At the same time, the single ventilation duct cannot switch between the air pipe and the steam pipe as needed, requiring the modification of the pipeline, which is not flexible and convenient enough. The fixed position of the traditional ventilation holes can easily cause local areas of oxygen deficiency or uneven humidity inside the container. Utility Model Content

[0018] 2. By moving the connecting block, the steam pipe and the vent pipe can be flexibly switched to provide ventilation and steam to the inside of the box. By setting the connecting plate and the evenly distributed connecting holes, the supplementary gas is evenly distributed.
[0019] 3. The transparent door on the side of the box is connected by hinges and buckles, allowing you to observe the internal degradation status without opening the box. At the same time, the buckle structure ensures a tight seal when closed, preventing temperature and humidity leakage. Attached Figure Description

[0030] In this embodiment, when using the degradation chamber body 1 for degradation, the material to be degraded and the items to be degraded are placed in the support box 5 of the support plate 4. The transparent box door 28 is closed by a buckle, allowing easy observation of the degradation inside the support box 5. The degradation chamber body 1 is equipped with a detector and sensor to detect the internal temperature, humidity, and oxygen content of the chamber 2. The principle of these sensors is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
