Description

Fertilizer Production Device by worms, for environmental education.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a device of fertilizer production by worms for education environmental, which constitutes a didactic and laboratory that is practical and interactive with students, allowing to visualize an ecological alternative for problem of environmental pollution due to production and waste accumulation

The device constitutes a means or equipment suitable for experiments and tests on recycling, biology of the earthworm, and treatment of organic waste, allowing the process control, being able to use continuously, year after year, and always get bio-fertilizers like this as an increase in earthworm population.

Background of the invention

The problem it poses to the faculty practices of biology in places of teaching, where the accumulation of waste derives from a part in a environmental pollution, and on the other in the difficulties for collection and disposal of this waste, which can only be carried out based on considerable economic costs.

Description of the invention

The fertilizer production device by worms for environmental education that is recommended, comes to solve the problem described above, based on a simple but effective solution, since this device has been developed as a practical teaching equipment or material and interactive, both for the laboratory and for the students, of way that during the theme of pollution and management environmental, the device allows to visualize an alternative ecological for the problem of waste accumulation, obtaining even a final recycling product with high power fertilizer and soil recovery.

Specifically, the device of the invention allows teachers and therefore students of any teaching center, use it when addressing the problem of environmental pollution due to accumulation of waste As for the materialization of the device, the it is based on the arrangement on a chest with covers, of a series of compartments that constitute beds where worms live of land, and whose compartments are formed by a network of mesh that allows worms to pass from one to another.

Those compartments arranged on the chest they form a transportable assembly on a base with wheels and with a mast or handle for manual operation, complementing the device with leachate collection containers that they have inferior to the chest, and in correspondence with points or certain holes of this one, for reception and collection of leachate as previously stated.

Said device is further complemented by some boxes as leachate collection media, located on the bottom of the chest, and on which the compartments are arranged Referrals first.

For easy handling, the compartments they are equipped with an upper handle that allows the extraction and introduction of the compartment itself inside the chest.

For their part, the collection containers of leachate, have a graduated vertical scale that allows know the extent of leachate collected in that container, preferably consisting of cylindrical bodies with their upper base open and lower base closed.

As for the positioning boxes of the compartments, will have the same contour as the inner part of these, being their mission to collect and receive, as well how to channel leachates that occur during storage of each waste in the compartments, being those boxes endowed in their bottom or base of an inclination which favors the inertia of liquid towards the containers of collection located externally and inferiorly to the chest.

The device thus constituted is an instrument interactive laboratory, environmental education, which logically it will be complemented with the corresponding educational theme, as well as the operating and assembly manual of the different components and, of course, necessary material and practical activities to make the teaching staff in the teaching centers.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows an exploded view of the different elements and components that make up the whole Fertilizer production device by worms for environmental education object of the invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view of the chest supported on the movable carriage and containing the corresponding leachate collection boxes, and superiorly The compartments exploded.

Figure 3.- Shows a schematic view in side elevation of the chest and under it the containers cylindrical leachate collection.

Figure 4.- Finally shows a view in upper floor of the chest containing inside the compartments, and where the covers thereof are in the position of opening.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As you can see in the referred figures, the device of the invention comprises a chest (1), a carriage (2) on which the chest (1) is arranged, being able to be transported by that from one place to another easily, a series of compartments mesh (3), some boxes or drawers (4) that will be arranged in the bottom of the chest (1) and are intended to receive compartments (3), and cylindrical containers (5) for collecting leachate

The chest (1) has a configuration prismatic-rectangular, and is endowed superiorly of a pair of folding caps (6) with its handle (7), the bottom of the chest (1) provided with holes (8) for exit of leachate, as well as side inlets (9) for thermometer, also including recorded centimeter graduations (10) in one or more faces of the chest itself (1).

For its part, the car (2) is constituted by a platform with wheels (11) to move it, which can be carried out manually through a mast driving (12), so that in that platform of the car (2) the chest (1) is arranged, being perfectly stable to the be surrounded by a perimeter tab of the platform that constitutes said car (2). The handling or grip mast (12) is removable so that in storage it occupies a minimum volume.

As for the compartments (3), they are intended to receive or contain waste and one of them to contain a substrate or bed where earthworms are placed, those compartments (3) being provided with a handle (13) that enables easy and convenient introduction and extraction of same with respect to the chest (1), since those compartments (3) are intended to stay inside the chest (1).

As for the boxes (4), so many form elements such as compartments (3), since these are intended for position themselves in the respective boxes (4) that will be placed in the bottom of the chest (1), said boxes (4) being and therefore the Rectangular compartments (3). The mission of those boxes (4), is the collection, reception and channeling of leachates that occur during the storage of each of the waste in the compartments (3), being the surface or bottom of said boxes (4) inclined to favor the inertia of the liquid towards the leachate collection containers (5), having these a cylindrical configuration with a graduation scale (14) that It allows the measurement of the leachate collected, accessing these containers (5) through respective holes (15) provided for in the boxes (4).

Cylindrical containers (5) for collecting leachate, are arranged under the chest (1).

In accordance with everything referred to, the form Operational with the device is as follows:

First the chest (1) is placed on the carriage (2), to then dispose at the bottom and inside of the chest (1) boxes (4) for leachate collection.

The compartments are then placed (3) with the substrates on the boxes (4) arranged at the bottom of the chest (1), to finally place the collection containers of leachate (5) under the exits (8) provided in the chest (1).
