PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for diffusing waste straws capable of uniformly diffusing the waste straws after cutting treatment.SOLUTION: The apparatus 30 for diffusing the waste straws is designed to carry out the diffusing treatment of the waste straws subjected to the cutting treatment with a helical screw 40. Furthermore, the helical screw 40 includes a rotating shaft 41, a first helical blade 42, a second helical blade 43, and a raking out blade 46. The first helical blade 42 has a helical shape, is constituted to be stretchable in a shaft direction on the rotating shaft 41, and is installed on one side in the shaft direction on the rotating shaft 41. The second helical blade 43 has a helical shape in the direction opposite to that of the first helical blade 42, and is installed on the other side in the shaft direction on the rotating shaft 41 so as to be movable in the shaft direction, and fixable at an optional position. The raking out blade 46 has a platy form, and is arranged between the first helical blade 42 and the second helical blade 43, connected to both thereof, and capable of regulating the overall length in the shaft direction between the first helical blade 42 and the second helical blade 43 by changing the length of the first helical blade 42.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】切断処理後の排藁を均一に拡散することができる排藁拡散装置を提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】切断処理された排藁を、螺旋スクリュー40によって拡散処理する排藁拡散装置30において、螺旋スクリュー40は、回転軸41と、第一螺旋羽根42と、第二螺旋羽根43と、掻き出し羽根46と、を具備し、第一螺旋羽根42は、螺旋形状を有し、回転軸41上の軸方向に伸縮可能に構成されて、回転軸41上の軸方向一方側に設けられ、第二螺旋羽根43は、第一螺旋羽根42とは逆方向の螺旋形状を有し、回転軸41上の軸方向他側に軸方向に移動可能、かつ任意位置で固定可能に設けられ、掻き出し羽根46は、平板形状を有し、第一螺旋羽根42と第二螺旋羽根43との間に配置されて、これら双方に連結され、第一螺旋羽根42の長さを変更することによって、第一螺旋羽根42と第二螺旋羽根43との間の軸方向における全長を調整可能とする。【選択図】図3
