Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a stirring tank of a device which is connected to a non-flushing toilet to promote microbial decomposition of human waste and compost it.

[Conventional technology]

Before explaining the stirring tank of the present invention, a brief description will be given of the whole device, that is, the manure composting device, as shown in FIG.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a stirring tank, which is connected to the lower part of the toilet 2 near the base end, is inclined upward toward the tip, and is connected to the composting tank 4 near the tip via a standing pipe 3. The stirring tank 1 is provided with a coil-shaped screw inside the tank member 1 ′, one end of which is connected to a motor in a motor chamber 6, and via a human waste decomposition accelerator supply pipe 7 provided at an intermediate position. The human waste decomposition accelerator comprising a filler such as sawdust to which microorganisms are added is supplied from the popper 8. To operate this device, when the switch 9 attached to the wall surface near the toilet 2 is pressed, a coil screw is driven by a motor (not shown) in the human waste decomposition promoter supply pipe 7.
While rotating for a certain period of time, the accelerator is supplied from the hopper 8 into the stirring tank 1, and the screw 5 connected to the motor in the stirring tank 1 is rotated to push the excrement in the stirring tank 1 downward. Stirring is performed for a predetermined time by a timer. After repeating this several times and pressing another switch 10, the motor of the screw 5 reverses for a fixed time through the timer, and the agitated material in the agitating tank 1 is pushed up to move from the standing pipe 3 to the composting tank 4 It is dropped inside and cured here to become compost.

In this case, the stirring tank 1 is formed by mounting a motor chamber 6 having a motor therein at the tip of a cylindrical tank member 1 ', whereas the tank member 1'is fixedly mounted on the foundation. The chamber 6 is cantilevered to the tip of the tank member 1'through a flange-shaped flange joint in consideration of repair and inspection of the internal motor. On the other hand, the tank member 1'is handled. Since a hard synthetic resin cylinder is used in order to reduce the amount of adhesion of the contents and the corrosion resistance to the objects, there is a possibility that the flange joint of the tank member 1'is damaged by the load. It was

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

This means that the life of the stirring tank is short, and the flange joint part cannot be sufficiently tightened during mounting, so there is the inconvenience that internal liquid leaks from this connection part and maintenance is required. there were.

[Means for solving problems]

For this purpose, it is sufficient to use a connecting means of a type in which the load is applied entirely in the longitudinal direction of the tank member, instead of using a connecting method such as a flange joint where the joint and the base portion of the joint are forced. The device was developed by focusing on the above points.

[Example of device]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, a tank member 11 is made of a hard resin like the conventional one, and a rising pipe 12 to be connected to a toilet close to the base end and an upward direction, It has a hanging pipe 13 that should be connected to a compost tank in a downward direction, and a coil-shaped screw 14 is provided inside. Unlike the conventional one, this tank member 11 does not have a flange joint at the tip, and instead, a mounting hole 15 to be fitted to a mounting piece 21 described later.
... is provided. As described above, the tank member 11 is firmly fixed to the foundation with the tip slightly above.

Next, 16 is a motor chamber, and this motor chamber accommodates a reduction clutch 17 and a flexible clutch-shaped joint 18 connected to the motor shaft, and a screw shaft 19 connected to the joint 18 connects the motor chamber. It projects through the end face 20 to the outside. In this case, when the flexible joint 18 is made of an elastic material and the motor is overloaded as a condenser motor,
The structure may be such that the screw automatically reverses. Now, as is apparent from FIG. 2, several (six in the figure) mounting pieces 21 are attached to the outer surface of the connecting end surface 20 at positions that divide the circumference corresponding to the inner peripheral surface of the tank member 11 into substantially equal parts.・ ・ Is projected. As shown in FIG. 3, these mounting pieces 21 ... Are provided with holes 22 in advance, and the nuts 23 are aligned with these holes.
It is formed by small pieces of angle that are fixed by welding.
It is fixed to the outer surface of 20 by welding.

The motor chamber 16 has a tank member 11 as shown in FIG.
The mounting pieces 21 ... Are positioned so as to abut on the inner peripheral surface of the tank member 11, respectively, and as shown in FIG. Attaching the mounting pieces 21 ... to the tank member 11 with the packing 24 of
And the connection end face 20 is pressed sufficiently against the end face of the tank member 11 via the packing 24 and the tank member
The mounting bolt 25 is inserted into each mounting hole 15 of 11 and the tip of the mounting bolt is inserted through the hole 22 of the mounting piece 21 into the nut 23 and tightened to be fixed integrally.

[Action, effect]

With this structure, since the load applied to the tank member 11 acts in the longitudinal direction of the tank member 11 via the mounting bolts 25 surrounding the peripheral surface, the invention may damage the tank member 11 made of synthetic resin. , And the mounting pieces 21 ... Of the tank member 11 are dispersed members, it is easy to push into the tank member 11, and the mounting bolts are
When 25 ... is tightened, it deforms into individual pieces and adapts to the tank member 11, and the load of the motor chamber 16 acts to compress the lower half part of the packing 24, so leakage of internal liquid is further prevented. .

As described above, according to the present invention, the motor chamber 16 is connected to the tank member 11 without forcing, and the sealing force is maintained sufficiently, which is extremely efficient.
