Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, specifically to an agricultural waste composting and fermentation device based on microbial degradation. Background Technology
[0002] Composting of agricultural waste (such as straw, livestock and poultry manure, and fruit and vegetable residues) is a crucial part of the agricultural circular economy. Currently, common composting methods include static composting, trough composting, and turner composting. However, these methods generally suffer from uneven ventilation, insufficient material mixing, and low fermentation efficiency. Traditional composting equipment often uses a fixed structure, making it difficult to achieve uniform turning of the accumulated materials, resulting in low microbial degradation efficiency and prolonged composting cycles. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing a reasonably designed and easy-to-use agricultural waste composting and fermentation device based on microbial degradation, which can effectively solve the aforementioned defects in existing technologies.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: it includes a fermentation tank, support legs, a feed pipe, and a discharge pipe. Support legs are provided at the four corners of the bottom wall of the fermentation tank. A feed pipe is inserted into and fixed to the top wall of the fermentation tank, and a discharge pipe is provided on the bottom wall of the fermentation tank. It also includes:
[0005] The conveyor belts are of several kinds and are equally spaced from top to bottom inside the fermentation box. The conveyor belts are arranged in an alternating manner. Drive wheels are installed on both sides of the conveyor belts and are screwed to the front and rear side walls of the fermentation box through shafts.
[0006] The drive gears are a plurality of each other and are fitted and fixed one by one on the shaft at one end of a plurality of transmission wheels on one side. The drive gears are located inside the side wall of the fermentation tank, and a drive motor is fixed on the shaft at one end of one of the transmission wheels.
[0007] The linkage gear consists of several gears, which mesh in pairs and are located between two adjacent drive gears. The linkage gears are screwed into the side wall of the fermentation tank via bearings.
[0008] A sealing mechanism is installed inside the fermentation chamber and is configured to cooperate with and resist the conveyor belt.
[0009] The discharge hopper is installed and fixedly disposed on the lower side of the fermentation box. The four corners of the outer peripheral wall of the discharge hopper are connected to the support legs. The upper end of the discharge pipe is connected and fixedly disposed to the discharge hopper.
[0010] The pump is fixed on the outer wall of one side of the fermentation tank, and the air outlet of the pump is connected to the discharge hopper through a pipe.
[0011] Through the above technical solution, waste material enters the fermentation tank through the feed pipe. The drive motor is started, which drives the connected transmission wheel to rotate. The drive gear on the transmission wheel, in cooperation with the meshing linkage gear, drives the adjacent drive gear to rotate, thereby causing the transmission wheel connected to the drive gear to rotate. This process continues, causing several transmission wheels to rotate. With the cooperation of the drive gear and the linkage gear, the upper and lower adjacent transmission wheels rotate in opposite directions, which in turn causes the conveyor belt to rotate in opposite directions, spreading the waste material evenly on the conveyor belt. After spreading, the gap between the conveyor belt and the inner wall of the fermentation tank is blocked by a sealing mechanism. When ventilation needs to be improved, the pump is started to draw outside air into the fermentation tank, thereby improving ventilation. When discharge is needed, the sealing mechanism is opened, and the drive motor is started again, causing the conveyor belt to carry the waste material into the discharge hopper, and then discharged through the discharge pipe.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, a discharge pipe is sleeved and fixed on the bottom end of the discharge pipe, and a spiral conveying rod is provided inside the discharge pipe. One end of the spiral conveying rod passes through the end wall of the discharge pipe through a bearing and is fixed with a discharge motor. The discharge motor is fixed on the outer end wall of the discharge pipe.
[0013] With the above technical solution, during discharge, the material enters the discharge pipe through the discharge pipe, and then the discharge motor is started. The discharge motor drives the screw conveyor, and the screw conveyor drives the material to be discharged towards the open end of the discharge pipe.
[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, the blocking mechanism includes:
[0015] The sealing plates are of several types, and they are arranged one-to-one abutting against one side of the conveyor belt. The other end of the sealing plate abuts against the inner wall of one side of the fermentation box. The upper surface of the sealing plate is set in the same plane as the upper side of the outer surface of the conveyor belt. Rotating shafts are fixed on the front and rear side walls of the sealing plate, and the rotating shafts are screwed to the front and rear side walls of the fermentation box through bearings.
[0016] Driven gears, there are several driven gears, and they are fitted one-to-one on the rotating shaft on one side of the sealing plate. Each driven gear is meshed with a driving rack on one side, and the teeth on the driving racks on the left and right sides are arranged opposite to each other.
[0017] The driving screw consists of two screws, which are symmetrically arranged on one side wall of the fermentation tank. The driving screws are screwed to several active racks on the same side, and the two driving screws are connected by a synchronous pulley transmission assembly.
[0018] A blocking motor is embedded and fixed in one side wall of the fermentation tank, and the output shaft of the blocking motor is connected to the top end of one of the drive screws;
[0019] Using the above technical solution, the sealing motor is started, which drives the connected drive screw to rotate. This drive screw drives another drive screw to rotate through the synchronous gear transmission assembly. The two drive screws drive the corresponding active racks to move downwards through threads. The active racks drive the driven gears to rotate, and the driven gears drive the sealing plate to rotate through the rotating shaft.
[0020] As a further improvement of this utility model, a guide block is embedded on the inclined surface of the sealing plate away from the conveyor belt. The cross-section of the guide block is triangular. It can guide the material during feeding and can seal one side of the sealing plate during sealing.
[0021] As a further improvement of this utility model, guide plates are provided on the side of the conveyor belt away from the sealing mechanism. One side of the guide plate is tilted upward and fixed to the inner wall of one side of the fermentation box; this can prevent materials from being stuck in the gap between the conveyor belt and the fermentation box.
[0022] As a further improvement of this utility model, an activated carbon filter layer is inserted into the middle side of the feed pipe, and one side of the activated carbon filter layer passes through the side wall of the feed pipe and is exposed on one side of the feed pipe.
[0023] With the above technical solution, after the waste is poured into the fermentation tank, the activated carbon filter layer is inserted into the feed pipe, so that the gas discharged from the fermentation tank can be filtered through the activated carbon filter layer to achieve the effect of deodorization.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The agricultural waste composting and fermentation device based on microbial degradation described in this utility model achieves uniform material distribution through multi-layered staggered conveyor belts, and significantly improves the microbial degradation efficiency and shortens the composting cycle with the help of a forced ventilation system.

[0042] A sealing plate 10-1 is provided, comprising several sealing plates 10-1, which are correspondingly and abutting against one side of the conveyor belt 5. The other end of the sealing plate 10-1 abuts against the inner wall of one side of the fermentation tank 1.
