Abstract

The present invention relates generally to a device for manufacturing organic compost from human excrements in a toilet to automatically transform human excrements into organic compost. More particularly, the present invention comprises a transport belt installed under a seat disposed on a main body of a toilet, capable of transporting excrements; a stirring room mixing with a stirring blade the excrements transported by the transport belt; a microorganism hopper installed on the upper side of the stirring room, feeding microorganisms into the excrements stirred in the stirring room; a muck collector receiving and storing the excrements crushed in the stirring room; a liquid collector receiving and evaporating urine fallen from the transport belt; an air purifying room drying excrements and urine in the main body, purifying and discharging air through an exhaust pipe; and a controller installed at a side of the main body, controlling electrical operation of the above components. The device for manufacturing organic compost from human excrements in a toilet according to the present invention has advantages that water consumption in the toilet is reduced, contamination of water and environment is reduced since excrement treatment/purifying facility is not required, and organic compost for planting crops is also supplied.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A device for manufacturing organic compost from excrement in a toilet, the device comprising: 
 a transport belt ( 5 ) installed under a seat ( 4 ) disposed on a main body ( 2 ) of a toilet ( 1 ), capable of transporting excrements;    a stirring room ( 7 ) stirring with a stirring blade ( 8 ) the excrements transported by the transport belt ( 5 );    a microorganism hopper ( 10 ) installed on the upper side of the stirring room ( 7 ), feeding microorganisms to the excrements stirred in the stirring room;    a discharge blade ( 9 ) installed in a discharge hole ( 9 ′) discharging into a muck collector ( 15 ) the excrements crushed in the stirring room;    a liquid collector ( 16 ) receiving and evaporating urine fallen from the transport belt; an air purifying room ( 18 ) having an air outlet and an air inlet on a the top of the main body; and    a controller ( 40 ) installed at a side of the main body.    
     
     
         2 . The device for manufacturing organic compost from excrement in a toilet of  claim 1 , wherein at least one stirring blade is installed in the stirring room to stir the excrements sequentially.  
     
     
         3 . The device for manufacturing organic compost from excrement in a toilet of  claim 1 , wherein at least one discharge blade is installed in a discharge hole at the bottom of the stirring room.  
     
     
         4 . The device for manufacturing organic compost from excrement in a toilet of  claim 1 , wherein a feeding blade for feeding microorganisms is installed in a microorganism inlet at the bottom of the microorganism hopper.  
     
     
         5 . The device for manufacturing organic compost from excrement in a toilet of  claim 1 , wherein an activation switch ( 28 ) for operating the transport belt is installed on the top surface of the main body to contact the lower part of the rear side of a seat cover on the main body.  
     
     
         6 . The device for manufacturing organic compost from excrement in a toilet of  claim 1 , wherein a heater is installed in the air purifying room.  
     
     
         7 . The device for manufacturing organic compost from excrement in a toilet of  claim 1 , wherein an ozone generator ( 23 ) is installed in the air purifying room to sterilize and disinfect the inside of the main body.  
     
     
         8 . The device for manufacturing organic compost from excrement in a toilet of  claim 1 , wherein a fan ( 22 ) is installed in an air inlet on the ceiling of the air purifying room, the fan being installed with a heater ( 21 ) at a side thereof.  
     
     
         9 . The device for manufacturing organic compost from excrement in a toilet of  claim 1 , wherein rollers ( 6 ) are installed at both ends of the transport belt, and at least one knife blade supported by a spring ( 25 ) is installed on a side of the transport belt.  
     
     
         10 . The device for manufacturing organic compost from excrement in a toilet of  claim 1 , wherein a door ( 26 ) with a sealed packing is installed at the front surface of the main body to load and unload the muck collector in the main body.  
     
     
         11 . The device for manufacturing organic compost from excrement in a toilet of  claim 1 , wherein the toilet is a movable toilet.  
     
     
         12 . The device for manufacturing organic compost from excrement in a toilet of  claim 1 , wherein an hook lever ( 1 ) installed at a side of the microorganism hopper is connected to a rod having a stopper at its lower end, the stopper driving a sprocket ( 14 ) formed at a side of a microorganism feeding blade ( 20 ) to feed microorganisms into the stirring room.  
     
     
         13 . The device for manufacturing organic compost from excrement in a toilet of  claim 1 , wherein an insertion hole ( 30 ) of a handle ( 29 ) is formed at a side of the roller in the transport belt to operate the transport belt manually.  
     
     
         14 . The device for manufacturing organic compost from excrement in a toilet of  claim 4 , wherein an hook lever ( 11 ) installed at a side of the microorganism hopper is connected to a rod having a stopper at its lower end, the stopper driving a sprocket ( 14 ) formed at a side of a microorganism feeding blade ( 20 ) to feed microorganisms into the stirring room.  
     
     
         15 . The device for manufacturing organic compost from excrement in a toilet of  claim 9 , wherein an insertion hole ( 30 ) of a handle ( 29 ) is formed at a side of the roller in the transport belt to operate the transport belt manually.
