Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of earthworm technology, specifically a multi-layer three-dimensional earthworm treatment tower. Background Technology

[0002] In today's society, with the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the amount of organic waste generated has increased dramatically. Statistics show that billions of tons of organic waste are generated globally each year. If this organic waste is not properly treated, it will not only occupy a large amount of land resources but also cause serious environmental pollution, such as producing foul odors and polluting soil and groundwater. Traditional methods of organic waste treatment, such as landfill and incineration, have many drawbacks. Landfill leads to soil and groundwater pollution and occupies a large amount of valuable land resources; while incineration can reduce the volume of waste to some extent, it produces large amounts of harmful gases, such as dioxins, which seriously damage the atmospheric environment and endanger human health.

[0003] Using earthworms to treat organic waste is an eco-friendly and efficient method. As "ecosystem engineers," earthworms can transform organic waste into vermicompost, rich in humus, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrients, through their digestion and metabolism. Vermicompost is a high-quality organic fertilizer with numerous advantages, including improving soil structure, increasing soil fertility, and promoting plant growth. Simultaneously, earthworms effectively reduce pathogens and parasite eggs in the waste during the treatment process, lowering the risk of environmental pollution. However, traditional methods of earthworm treatment, such as composting on flat land, suffer from problems such as large land requirements, low processing efficiency, and significant susceptibility to environmental factors. In practical applications, limited land resources hinder large-scale implementation, and the growth and processing efficiency of earthworms are unstable under different seasons and climates, failing to meet the growing demand for organic waste treatment.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a multi-layer three-dimensional earthworm treatment tower. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and solve at least one of the problems mentioned in the background art, a multi-layer three-dimensional earthworm treatment tower is proposed.

[0007] Preferably, the diversion component includes diversion blocks and discharge ports. Several groups of diversion blocks are arranged longitudinally and fixedly installed on the inner wall of the conveying bucket. The opening diameter of the several groups of diversion blocks gradually decreases. Several groups of discharge ports are opened in a ring on the inner wall of the conveying bucket near the diversion blocks. In this scheme, the combined use of diversion blocks and discharge ports can collect the material entering the conveying bucket in layers, preventing the material from accumulating and causing air thinning, which would affect the earthworms' feeding desire and life safety.

[0008] Preferably, the storage component includes a spiral staircase and a through hole. The spiral staircase is fixedly installed on the surface of the feeding hopper, and the bottom of the spiral staircase has a through hole. In this design, the spiral staircase and the through hole work together to collect the material discharged from the inner wall of the feeding hopper, making it convenient for earthworms to eat. At the same time, the spiral staircase also allows earthworms to move freely up and down multiple layers, ensuring that earthworms can migrate between layers according to their comfort.

[0009] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a fixing ring and a sieve hole. Several sets of fixing rings are provided, and the sets of fixing rings are fixedly installed longitudinally on the surface of the spiral steps. The surface of the fixing ring is provided with a sieve hole.

[0018] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a multi-layer three-dimensional earthworm treatment tower includes a base plate 1 and a protective net 70. A feeding hopper 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 1. A feeding assembly 3 is provided on the top of the feeding hopper 2, and a diversion assembly 4 is provided on the inner wall of the feeding hopper 2. A storage assembly 5 is provided on the surface of the feeding hopper 2. A feeding assembly 6 is provided on the surface of the feeding hopper 2. The feeding assembly 3 includes a funnel 31 and a flow-blocking net 32. The funnel 31 is fixedly installed on the top of the feeding hopper 2, and the bottom of the inner wall of the funnel 31 is fixedly installed with the flow-blocking net 32. The diversion assembly 4 includes a diversion block 41 and a discharge port 42. Several groups of diversion blocks 41 are provided, and several groups of diversion blocks 41 are fixedly installed longitudinally in the feeding hopper 2. The inner wall of the conveying bucket 2 has several groups of diverting blocks 41 with gradually decreasing opening diameters. Several groups of discharge ports 42 are provided, and the several groups of discharge ports 42 are arranged in a ring on the inner wall of the conveying bucket 2 near the diverting blocks 41. The storage component 5 includes a spiral staircase 51 and a through hole 52. The spiral staircase 51 is fixedly installed on the surface of the conveying bucket 2. The bottom of the spiral staircase 51 is provided with a through hole 52. The feeding component 6 includes a fixing ring 61 and a screen hole 62. Several groups of fixing rings 61 are provided. The several groups of fixing rings 61 are fixedly installed longitudinally on the surface of the spiral staircase 51. The surface of the fixing ring 61 is provided with a screen hole 62. The surface of the fixing ring 61 is fixedly installed with the protective net 70. The fixing ring 61 has a built-in heating device.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the combined use of funnel 31 and flow-blocking net 32 ​​allows the funnel 31 to easily pour materials into the conveying bucket 2, preventing spillage. The flow-blocking net 32 ​​prevents all materials from entering the conveying bucket 2 at once, ensuring the materials fall evenly and simultaneously to all the distribution blocks 41. The combination of distribution blocks 41 and outlet 42 allows for stratified collection of materials entering the conveying bucket 2, preventing material accumulation that leads to air thinning, which could affect the earthworms' feeding appetite and safety. The combination of spiral steps 51 and through holes 52 collects materials discharged from the inner wall of the conveying bucket 2, making it easier for earthworms to feed. Simultaneously, the spiral... The steps 51 allow earthworms to move freely up and down multiple levels, ensuring they can migrate according to their comfort level. The combination of the fixing ring 61 and the sieve holes 62 provides earthworms with a comfortable resting area, allowing them to defecate on the surface of the fixing ring 61 after feeding, making it easy for users to collect their feces. The protective net 70 protects earthworms from birds preying on them, prevents them from escaping, and allows keepers to easily observe the earthworms' condition from the outside. The heating device allows the fixing ring 61 to be temperature-adjusted according to the earthworms' habits, ensuring that earthworms are attracted to rest and defecate on the surface of the fixing ring 61. At the same time, the comfortable temperature also helps earthworms grow stronger.

[0021] Working principle: During operation, first place the base plate 1 on a flat surface. Then, the user places the earthworms on top of the fixing ring 61. Next, the user pours the feed into the feed bucket 2 through the funnel 31. As the feed passes through the flow-blocking net 32, it will slowly fall downwards through the through holes of the flow-blocking net 32. The falling material will be divided into multiple portions through the multi-level stratification of the diversion block 41. Then, the grouped material will flow into the spiral staircase 51 through the discharge port 42 due to the inclination of the diversion block 41. The earthworms will then be attracted by the food and begin to eat. After the earthworms have finished eating, the heating element built into the fixing ring 61 will be activated to improve the surface stability and achieve a temperature suitable for the earthworms. After eating, the earthworms will be attracted to the top of the fixing ring 61 and will excrete on the top of the fixing ring 61. The earthworm excrement will fall downwards through the sieve holes 62 until it lands on the top of the base plate 1. At that time, the user only needs to collect the earthworm excrement.
