Solution Overview

Problem

Current excrement treatment technologies, particularly solid-liquid separators, fail to adequately reduce water content in treated feces, leading to continued environmental pollution despite separation of feces and sewage.

Innovation Solution

An ultra-high temperature excrement solid-liquid separation extrusion sterilization integrated machine, which includes a solid-liquid separator and an extrusion sterilization device with a dehydrating cage and extruding shaft, effectively reduces water content through physical extrusion and heat sterilization, utilizing a spiral extruding blade and feeding plate to drain and evaporate water, followed by vacuum dehumidification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If a solid-liquid separator is used to separate feces from sewage, then the feces and sewage can be separated, but the water content in the treated feces remains high causing continued environmental pollution

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenvironmental pollutionVSAvoidwater content in feces
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the solid-liquid separation function with the dehydration function into a single integrated machine. The extrusion sterilization device is directly connected to the solid-liquid separator, allowing feces to be dehydrated immediately after separation without requiring separate equipment or processes. This merging resolves the contradiction by maintaining the separation benefit while adding the dehydration capability to reduce water content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical dehydration methods (such as pressure plates or centrifugal separators) with an extrusion-based mechanical system. The extruding shaft with spiral extruding blades mechanically presses and squeezes water from the feces through a dehydrating cage, achieving effective dehydration through controlled mechanical extrusion rather than relying on gravity-based separation alone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Device complexity

If traditional solid-liquid separation equipment is used, then the structure can be simple, but the dehydration effect is insufficient and germs are not eliminated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveequipment structureVSAvoidsterilization effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges three functions (solid-liquid separation, dehydration, and sterilization) into a single integrated processing line. The extrusion sterilization device performs both dehydration and sterilization in one step by combining mechanical extrusion with heat treatment, eliminating the need for separate sterilization equipment and simplifying the overall system while achieving reliable germ elimination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes in the extrusion process to achieve both dehydration and sterilization. By controlling the extrusion pressure, temperature, and residence time within the extrusion sterilization device, the system transforms the physical and biological properties of the feces, effectively reducing water content and eliminating germs through controlled thermal and mechanical parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
