  Device for manufacturing organic compost from excremetUSPTO Application #: 20070199140Title: Device for manufacturing organic compost from excremet 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.

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates generally to a device for manufacturing organic compost from excrement in a toilet to automatically transform human excrements into organic compost and, more particularly, to a device for manufacturing organic compost from human excrements, by installing an excrement transporting device, a stirring room and a microorganism feeding hopper. The device according to the present invention transports human excrements automatically to the stirring room without using water after a toilet is used, and produces organic compost by stirring with microorganisms. [0002] The present invention has advantages that water consumption in a restroom and contamination of water and environment are reduced because excrement treatment and purification devices are not required, and organic compost for planting crops is manufactured. BACKGROUND ART [0003] After a toilet is used, human excrements are generally flushed by using water to a purification device, stored therein for a predetermined period and delivered to an excrement treatment device to be treated in various ways. [0004] A restroom should be generally equipped with at least a water tank, a toilet paper and a purification tank. In most restrooms, human excrements are treated by water and nationwide water consumption in Korea is estimated to increase by several tens of thousand tons every year. Korea is likely to run short of water resources in the near future. Therefore, effective countermeasures should be devised urgently. [0005] Artificial fertilizers are used more often than organic composts for planting crops because they are easily available and convenient. However, any special countermeasure to prevent soil acidification is not provided yet. [0006] Human excrements discarded from vessels are regarded as a cause of contamination in the ocean, and improper discarding of human excrements is prohibited by the law. DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION Technical Problem [0007] The present invention is provided to solve the above-mentioned problems. The present invention provides a device for manufacturing organic compost from human excrement, which is equipped with a transport belt under the bottom of a seat of a stationary toilet, movable toilet, vessel toilet or airplane toilet, and includes the steps of: transporting the human excrements to a stirring room by the transport belt; mixing them with microorganisms fed from a microorganism hopper during stirring to produce organic compost; and drying the organic compost. The present invention has advantages that human excrements are treated without using water after a restroom is used, organic compost is produced, water consumption is reduced and soil acidification is prevented. TECHNICAL SOLUTION [0008] To transform excrements into organic compost, a transport belt 5 is installed under a seat 4 disposed on a main body 2 in a toilet 1 to transport the excrements to a stirring room 7, and a stirring blade 8 is installed in the stirring room 7 to mix the excrements. [0009] A microorganism hopper 10 is installed on the upper side of the stirring room to feed microorganisms to excrements in the stirring room, and a discharge blade 9 is installed in a discharge hole to discharge the excrements crushed in the stirring room to a muck collector 15. [0010] A liquid collector 16 is formed to receive and evaporate urine fallen from the transport belt, and an air purifying room 18 is formed to discharge, through a exhaust pipe 17, air that have dried urine and excrements inside the main body. [0011] A device for manufacturing organic compost from excrement is installed in a toilet to transform excrements to organic compost, and thereby additional excrement treatment facilities are not required, and cost for excrement treatment and water used in a restroom is saved. ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS [0012] The device for manufacturing organic compost is applied to a restroom and has following advantages. [0013] Firstly, installation cost for waste water treatment facilities and a purification tank are saved because additional facilities for waste water treatment or a purification tank is not required. Secondly, soil acidification is prevented because organic compost is used, and grains and vegetables good for the health are supplied because crops are planted by using organic compost. Thirdly, ocean contamination is prevented because the device may be applied to an airplane toilet and vessel toilet. Fourthly, a clean toilet is maintained without any special management, and cost for excrement treatment is saved because the device may be applied to toilets in a resting room, campsite and highway. Fifthly, water resources are saved and reserved in a country short of water resources.
