[0002] In agricultural production and organic waste treatment, composting processes are widely used. Through the action of microorganisms, organic materials are transformed into stable humus, not only realizing the resource utilization of waste but also providing high-quality organic fertilizer for the soil, improving soil structure, and enhancing soil fertility. During the composting process, the temperature of the compost pile is a crucial parameter. It directly reflects the activity intensity of microorganisms and the progress of composting; the suitable temperature range at different stages has a decisive impact on the composting effect.
[0003] Currently, most existing methods for monitoring the temperature of the compost pile involve workers inserting handheld thermometers into the pile. This method is not only inefficient and time-consuming, but also fails to provide a comprehensive and accurate reflection of the overall temperature distribution of the pile due to the uneven temperature distribution within it. Furthermore, it lacks the ability to automatically process abnormal temperature data, thus affecting the quality of the produced products. Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed an online compost temperature monitoring device for the composting process to address the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, an online monitoring device for the temperature of a composting pile includes a composting raw material turning mechanism 1 and a temperature control mechanism 2. The composting raw material turning mechanism 1 includes a composting raw material storage box 101. The bottom surface of the composting raw material storage box 101 is connected to two discharge pipes 6. Temperature sensors 5 arranged at equal intervals are installed on the inner bottom wall of the composting raw material storage box 101. A display screen 4 is installed on the front of the composting raw material storage box 101. The upper surface of the composting raw material storage box 101 is hinged to two cover plates 7. The whole device realizes the integration of temperature monitoring, automatic material turning and intelligent temperature control, improves composting efficiency and quality, reduces labor costs, and is suitable for large-scale composting operations.
[0023] The bottom of the fermented raw material storage box 101 is connected to two support frames 3, and the upper surfaces of the two cover plates 7 are each connected to handles 8. The inner wall of the fermented raw material storage box 101 is connected to two arc-shaped plates 9. Ventilation windows 10 are opened on the left and right sides of the fermented raw material storage box 101. The inner walls of the two ventilation windows 10 are each connected to a first dustproof net 11. The inner wall of the fermented raw material storage box 101 is inlaid with two bearings 102. The inner rings of the two bearings 102 are connected to a rotating shaft 103. The outer surface of the rotating shaft 103 is connected to annularly arranged fermented raw material stirring blades 104. A drive motor 105 is installed on the right side of the fermented raw material storage box 101. The output end of the drive motor 105 is connected to the rotating shaft 103 through a coupling. This not only enables the equipment to turn the fermented raw material over, thus making the fermentation of the fermented raw material more uniform, but also prevents external dust from entering the interior of the fermented raw material storage box 101.
[0024] The temperature control mechanism 2 includes two connecting pipes 201, one end of which is connected to the cover plate 7. The inner walls of the two connecting pipes 201 are connected to a second dustproof net 202. The inner walls of the two connecting pipes 201 are also equipped with a heating net 205. The inner walls of the two connecting pipes 201 are also connected to a fixing frame 203. The bottom surface of the two fixing frames 203 is equipped with a fan 204. This not only improves the dustproof effect of the equipment, but also enables the equipment to accurately control the temperature of the pile, thereby improving the ripening effect of the pile.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, people can open the cover plate 7 by using the handle 8 and put the composted raw materials into the composted raw material storage box 101.
[0026] Temperature sensor 5 senses the temperature of the reactor core in real time, and the data is transmitted to display screen 4 for display, realizing online monitoring of the reactor core temperature.
[0027] During the material turning process, the drive motor 105 starts and drives the rotating shaft 103 to rotate in the bearing 102 through the coupling. The fermented raw material stirring blade 104 on the rotating shaft 103 rotates accordingly, and works with the arc plate 9 on the inner wall to turn the raw material, so that the pile is heated more evenly.
[0028] During temperature control, if the temperature is too low, the heating net 205 inside the connecting pipe 201 will work, and the fan 204 will blow heat into the box; the ventilation window 10 ensures air circulation, and the first dustproof net 11 and the second dustproof net 202 prevent dust and impurities in the outside air from entering the composting raw material storage box 101. Finally, after the composting of the pile is completed, people can collect the composting raw materials through the discharge pipe 6.
