[Industrial applications]

 The present invention mainly relates to a composting container structure for obtaining good quality compost from agricultural waste such as large sawdust, rice husk, and straw used as bedding for livestock.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, such a composting container structure 20 is composed of a container body 21, an upper lid 22 and a bottom lid 23 as shown in the figure. The container body 21 is made of synthetic resin monofilament or a non-breathable material that is woven from a suitable spinning material, and the top lid 22 and the bottom lid 23 have a porosity such that the entire surface does not leak the raw manure. However, it is made of a breathable material such as synthetic resin perforated sheet or net, and the porosity of both is around 30%.

The upper lid 22 is openably and closably attached to the opening peripheral edge 21 a at the upper end of the container body 21 via the chuck 24, and the bottom lid 23 is open peripherally at the lower end of the container body 21. It is locked by sewing 21b. Further, on the side surface of the container body portion 21, there is provided a hanger 25 which can be easily moved and transported, and which is also composed of a strap or the like which also serves as a reinforcement mainly for the composting container structure 20.

When the conventional composting container structure 20 described above is used, the chuck 24 of the upper lid 22 is opened and the raw manure such as sawdust, rice husk, and straw after being used as a litter for livestock is stored in the container body 21. Put it in from the upper end and install it in a suitable place.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional composting container structure 20, when the capacity in the container is small (for example, 99 kg or less) for aerobic fermentation to obtain good quality compost, the upper lid 22 and the bottom lid 23 are made of a breathable material. However, if the container has a large volume (for example, 100 kg or more), the air ventilation by the top lid 22 and the bottom lid 23 does not always supply air to the fertilizer put in the container. There is a problem that mura fermentation occurs and anaerobic fermentation occurs.

The present invention is configured in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to constantly supply air to suppress anaerobic fermentation and activate the reproduction of aerobic bacteria. Providing a composting container structure.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a container body, an upper lid that is openably and closably attached to an opening peripheral edge portion at an upper end of the container body, and an upper lid that is attached to an opening peripheral edge portion at a lower end of the container body portion. In the composting container structure composed of the bottom lid, the container body is made of breathable material.

[0008]

[Action]

 In the composting container structure of the present invention configured as described above, since the container body is made of the air permeable material, the container body having a large contact area with air performs the aeration action, and the container A large amount of air is supplied from the container body into the raw fertilizer, and anaerobic fermentation is suppressed, aerobic bacteria are activated, and high-quality compost can be obtained. it can.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a composting container structure of the present invention.

The composting container structure 1 of the present invention is composed of a container body 2, an upper lid 3 and a bottom lid 4. A peripheral edge portion 3a of the upper lid 3 is openably and closably attached to the opening peripheral edge portion 2a at the upper end portion of the container body 2 via a chuck 5. Further, the opening peripheral edge 4a of the bottom lid 4 is sewn and locked to the opening peripheral edge 2b at the lower end of the container body 2. A suspender 6 made of a strap is attached to the peripheral side portion 2c of the upper end portion of the container body 2. This hanger 6 facilitates the movement and transportation, and when the raw manure is put into the container body 2, it is carried to an appropriate place and the bottom is raised slightly above the ground. is there.

The container body 2, the top lid 3, and the bottom lid 4 have a porosity that does not allow the raw manure to leak out, and are made of a breathable material such as a perforated sheet of synthetic resin or net. All of them have a porosity of around 30%.

Next, the operation will be described. The chuck 5 is opened, raw fertilizer is put in from the opening peripheral edge portion 2a of the container body 2, the upper lid 3 is closed via the chuck 5, and the composting container structure 1 is placed at an appropriate place by the lifting tool 6. Install by moving and transporting and a little away from the ground.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the upper lid 3 is attached to the tubular portion 2 via the chuck 5. However, the lid is formed into a cylindrical shape, and the opening peripheral portion at one end of the upper lid 3 is attached to the tubular portion 2. The purse lid which is sewn and locked to the opening peripheral edge portion 2a, the entire surface of the opening portion at the other end is formed as a compost inlet, and the body portion of the lid is tightened with a tightening string to close the compost inlet is closed. You can set it to 3.

As a result, the porosity of the container body 2, the top lid 3 and the bottom lid 4 is set to about 30%. Therefore, when this is used outdoors, rainwater will not flow in through the container body 2 and the top lid 3. The direct sunlight at the time of dry weather is limited, the growth of aerobic bacteria is promoted by an appropriate amount of air flowing in the container body 2, and fermenting and ripening of raw fertilizer are effectively achieved. In addition, in the above example, in order to cause aerobic fermentation to obtain high quality compost, the air contact area was made large so as to have a ventilation function in the container. You may select suitably according to the capacity in. For example, if the volume in the container is small (eg 99 kg or less), only the container body is made of breathable material, and if the volume in the container is large (eg 100 kg or more), the container body is In addition, it is conceivable to form the top lid 3 or the bottom lid 4 with a breathable material.

[0015] Further, the above-mentioned proper fermentation of fertilizer and the heat of fermentation which reaches a maximum of 70 ° C. with ripening burn out parasite larvae such as mosquitoes and flies inhabiting the fertilizer. In addition, these parasites that try to escape from the composting container structure 1 to the outside will be killed by breaking the escape route, and it will be possible to obtain a special effect on the conservation of environmental hygiene.

[0016]

[Effect of the device]

 The composting container structure of the present invention configured as described above has a container body, an upper lid that is openably and closably attached to the opening at the upper end of the container body, and an opening at the lower end of the container body. In the composting container structure composed of the bottom lid attached to the peripheral part, the container body was made of breathable material, so after the raw manure was put into the container body, the air inside the composting container structure was always maintained. When supplied, the aerobic bacteria can be actively propagated and good quality compost can be obtained.
