Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of feed storage technology, specifically a moisture-proof storage device for antibiotic-free pet food. Background Technology

[0002] Feed is a general term for the food of animals raised by humans. Pet food is one of them. As food for pets, pet food can meet the pets' needs for protein, energy, macro-minerals, micro-minerals, vitamins and various nutritional and non-nutritive additives. After processing, pet food needs to be stored using equipment to prevent nutrient loss.

[0003] To ensure pet food can be stored for extended periods even in relatively humid environments, China Patent Network discloses (CN115783534A) a food storage tank, comprising a tank body. A guide cylinder is fixedly installed through the top outer wall of the tank body, and a discharge cylinder is fixedly installed through the bottom outer wall of the tank body. There are two guide cylinders and two discharge cylinders, and both ends of the guide cylinders and discharge cylinders are equipped with sealing caps. The inner wall of the tank body is provided with evenly spaced layered plates. This container can effectively store various types of food and improve the space utilization rate of the container. However, in practical situations, the following problems may arise: The feed at the bottom of each layer still spoils due to moisture and other reasons, and the inner layer of feed is more prone to mold and spoilage, so improvements are still needed. Eliminating internal moisture by filling with dry gas has certain limitations, because the dry gas diffuses into the container through a relatively simple path. If the air inlet is blocked, the drying effect will be greatly reduced. Feed is usually in pellet form, and direct feeding may cause problems such as blockage or residue in the conveying pipes, which needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical solution adopted to address the problem that existing feed storage equipment is difficult to effectively dry feed and easily creates drying dead zones is: an antibiotic-free pet food moisture-proof storage device, including a main shaft component, three independent containers evenly arranged on the outer surface of the main shaft component, which can classify and hold different types of pet food; a conveying device located on the right side of the independent containers, mainly used for feeding the contents of the different independent containers; and a discharging device located on the left side of the independent containers, mainly used for discharging the feed from the different independent containers. The main structures of the conveying device and the discharging device are roughly the same, and both serve the function of transporting feed. Includes filling components: two filling components are used to fix each individual container and to insulate the spacer layer of the individual containers; an air-filling rotary pump, the top of which is inserted into the bottom of the main shaft component. The main shaft component can be rotated by the rotating shaft, and dry hot air can be filled into the main shaft component through the hollow shaft to dry the inside of the device.

[0005] Further, the main shaft component includes: a vertical long shaft, the inner cavity of which is evenly provided with exhaust ports for venting, and the bottom end of the vertical long shaft is provided with a slot for docking, the top end of the inflatable rotary pump being inserted into the bottom end of the vertical long shaft through the slot; two separator washers, the inner wall of which is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the vertical long shaft through a fixed insertion port, the inner cavity of which is evenly provided with through openings, dividing the vertical long shaft into three parts, each part of which is set inside an independent container, and the dry gas of the inflatable rotary pump is transported through the exhaust port; a side base plate, one end of which is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the vertical long shaft, and the other end of which is slidably connected to a docking rod, the side base plate being controlled by the vertical long shaft and directly torsional by the inflatable rotary pump at the bottom; and a vertical branch rod, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the side base plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the independent container includes: an insulated outer shell, with a discharge trough on the left side of the inner cavity of the insulated outer shell and a feed trough on the right side of the inner cavity of the insulated outer shell; and an inner sealing rotating shell, the outer surface of which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the insulated outer shell. Fixed connecting rods are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the inner wall of the inner sealing rotating shell, and the outer surface of the fixed connecting rod is inserted into the side bottom plate away from the vertical long axis through a docking plug. After the side bottom plate pushes out the docking plug, it can be inserted together with the fixed connecting rod, thereby directly twisting the inner sealing rotating shell to rotate.

[0007] Furthermore, the material conveying device includes: a stacking conveyor rail, the left side of which is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the insulation shell via a feeding trough; three sliding guide shells, the bottom of which is slidably connected to the top of the inner wall of the stacking conveyor rail, and air inlets are symmetrically provided on the front and rear sides of the inner cavity of the sliding guide shell; an upper pressure cover, the inner wall of which is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding guide shell, and the lower surface of which is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the stacking conveyor rail via a compression jacket; and a protective cover, the bottom of which is fastened to the upper surface of the upper pressure cover.

[0008] Furthermore, the stacking conveyor rail includes: a first conveyor rail, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the top insulation shell; a second conveyor rail, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the middle insulation shell, and the top of the outer surface of the second conveyor rail is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the first conveyor rail; and a third conveyor rail, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom insulation shell, and the top of the outer surface of the third conveyor rail is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the second conveyor rail. The structure of the stacking conveyor rail is the same as that of the discharging device, except that the discharging device and the stacking conveyor rail are symmetrically arranged at the center, and the interface of the discharging device is a discharging trough.

[0009] Furthermore, the filling component includes: two filling washers fixed in the gap between the upper and lower insulation shells, with symmetrical through-holes on the front and rear sides of the inner cavity of the filling washers; a hollow bending frame with its front end fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the filling washers through the through-holes, and a rotatable sealing plate rotatably connected to the inner wall of the hollow bending frame near the filling washers through a slot. Under normal circumstances, the sealing plate will block the slot of the hollow bending frame due to the spring force of the rotating shaft, but when the internal pressure of the hollow bending frame increases, the sealing plate will be pushed down; and a spring push rod with its side away from the separating washer slidably connected to one side of the inner cavity of the filling washer, with pressure-sensing elements symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the filling washer.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. After the feed is collected and stored, the device can rotate the internal side bottom plate by uniformly controlling it through the vertical long shaft, which disperses the stored feed from bottom to top. At this time, the dry gas transported through the vertical long shaft can better remove the moisture inside the feed. The vertical branch rod can expand the actual mixing range, and the vertical branch rod can divert the dry gas to avoid the problem of gas being emitted in a single way, which makes it difficult for the gas to diffuse to the edge of the independent container.

[0011] 2. This device can stack independent containers of the required feed types in a splicing and assembly manner according to actual use needs, so as to meet the work of classifying and storing different feeds. Since the independent containers are separated from each other, the filling component connects the independent containers together, so that the gaps between the independent containers have a heat preservation function, making it more difficult for external moisture to enter the interior of the independent containers and cause the feed to become damp.

[0012] 3. Direct feeding may cause feed to get stuck inside the stacking conveyor. The more individual containers are stacked, the higher the probability of this happening. Therefore, this problem needs to be solved by modifying the stacking conveyor on the right side so that the top cover can press down on the stacking conveyor to guide the feed stuck inside and the residual feed into the individual containers, thus solving the above problem.

[0013] 4. The feed content stored in different independent containers may vary. If inflation is performed simultaneously, excessive air pressure inside a certain independent container may cause the inner wall to crack due to excessive pressure. Therefore, a hollow bending frame is needed for venting and buffering, and a pressure-sensing element is used for pressure monitoring to control the gas discharge of the inflation rotary pump and avoid excessive inflation power exceeding the device's load-bearing capacity.

[0016] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical application of the invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.

[0017] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1-4 This invention provides a technical solution: an antibiotic-free pet food moisture-proof storage device, comprising a main shaft component 1, three independent containers 2 evenly arranged on the outer surface of the main shaft component 1, capable of classifying and storing different types of pet food; a feeding device 4, located on the right side of the independent containers 2, mainly used for feeding the contents of the different independent containers 2; and a discharging device 5, located on the left side of the independent containers 2, mainly used for discharging the contents of the different independent containers 2. The feeding device 4 and the discharging device 5 have roughly the same main structure and both serve the function of transporting feed. Includes filling components 6: There are two filling components 6, which are used to fix each independent container 2 and to keep the spacer layer of the independent container 2 warm; an air-filled rotary pump 3, the top of which is inserted into the bottom of the main shaft component 1. It can control the rotation of the main shaft component 1 through the rotating shaft, and can also fill the interior of the main shaft component 1 with dry hot air through the hollow shaft to dry the interior of the device.

[0018] The main shaft component 1 includes: a vertical long shaft 11, the inner cavity of which is evenly provided with exhaust ports for exhaust, and the bottom end of the vertical long shaft 11 is provided with a slot for docking, the top end of the air-filled rotary pump 3 is inserted into the bottom end of the vertical long shaft 11 through the slot; two separator washers 12, the inner wall of which is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the vertical long shaft 11 through a fixing socket, the inner cavity of the separator washers 12 is evenly provided with through openings, and the vertical long shaft 11 is connected through the separator washers 12. It is divided into three parts, and the vertical long axis 11 of each part is set inside the independent container 2, and the dry gas of the air-filled rotary pump 3 is transported through the exhaust port; the side base plate 13, one end of the side base plate 13 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the vertical long axis 11, and the other end of the side base plate 13 is slidably connected to the docking rod 14. The side base plate 13 is controlled by the vertical long axis 11 and directly performs torsional movement through the air-filled rotary pump 3 at the bottom; the vertical branch rod 15, the bottom end of the vertical branch rod 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the side base plate 13.

[0019] The independent container 2 includes: an insulated outer shell 21, with a discharge chute 25 on the left side of the inner cavity of the insulated outer shell 21 and a feed chute 24 on the right side of the inner cavity of the insulated outer shell 21; and an inner sealing rotating shell 22, the outer surface of which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the insulated outer shell 21. Fixed connecting rods 23 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the inner wall of the inner sealing rotating shell 22, and the outer surface of the fixed connecting rods 23 is inserted into the side bottom plate 13 away from the vertical long axis 11 through a docking rod 14. After the side bottom plate 13 pushes out the docking rod 14, it can be inserted into the fixed connecting rod 23, thereby directly twisting the inner sealing rotating shell 22 to rotate.

[0020] When using this device for food storage, a corresponding number of individual containers 2 can be stacked according to the type of pet being kept. Figure 1 Taking the device shown as an example, it is equipped with three independent containers 2, which means that it can store three different kinds of feed at the same time. After opening the protective top cover 46 on the right, the different feeds can be conveyed from top to bottom into each independent container 2 through the conveying device 4. At this time, the discharge device 5 on the left is blocked to prevent the feed from being discharged.

[0021] After the feeding operation is completed, the device is sealed. The protective top cover 46 is reattached to the top of the conveying equipment 4, and the top of the vertical shaft 11 is plugged. Then, the shaft of the bottom air-filled rotary pump 3 is rotated. At this time, the vertical shaft 11 drives the side bottom plate 13 to rotate, so that the end of the side bottom plate 13 is aligned with the fixed connecting rod 23 inside the inner sealing shell 22. Then, the air-filled rotary pump 3 is inflated and the inflation power is adjusted to the maximum. At this time, the pressure inside the side bottom plate 13 is too high, which will push the docking rod 14 outward and connect it with the fixed connecting rod 23. Then, the air-filled rotary pump 3 continues to rotate the vertical shaft 11, which can drive the inner sealing shell 22 to rotate relative to the heat insulation shell 21. This will cause the feed trough 24 and discharge trough 25 of the heat insulation shell 21 to be misaligned with the feed trough 24 and discharge trough 25 of the inner sealing shell 22. At this time, the feed inside the independent container 2 is in a relatively sealed state.

[0022] The air-filled rotary pump 3 is set to a timed mode for intermittent operation. During operation, its rotating shaft drives the vertical long shaft 11 to rotate while simultaneously filling each independent container 2 with dry, high-temperature gas through the mesh opening of the vertical long shaft 11. At this time, the air filling power does not need to be adjusted to the maximum. When the side bottom plate 13 rotates inside the independent container 2, it will stir the feed particles inside and drive the vertical branch rod 15 to stir different positions of the feed synchronously, thereby achieving a large-scale stirring of the feed. The gas introduced into the side bottom plate 13 will be distributed relatively evenly to the inside of the independent container 2 through the vertical branch rod 15, which, together with the stirring work, eliminates the dry dead corners inside the feed.

[0023] Example 2, please refer toFigures 1-7 The present invention provides a technical solution: Based on embodiment one, the material conveying device 4 includes: a stacking conveyor rail 41, the left side of which is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the heat-insulating shell 21 via a feeding groove 24; three sliding guide shells 42, the bottom end of which is slidably connected to the top of the inner wall of the stacking conveyor rail 41, and air inlets 45 are symmetrically opened on the front and rear sides of the inner cavity of the sliding guide shell 42; an upper pressure cover 44, the inner wall of which is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding guide shell 42, and the lower surface of which is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the stacking conveyor rail 41 via a compression jacket 43; and a protective cover 46, the bottom of which is fastened to the upper surface of the upper pressure cover 44.

[0024] The stacking conveyor rail 41 includes: a first conveyor rail 411, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the top insulation shell 21; a second conveyor rail 412, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the middle insulation shell 21, and the top of the outer surface of the second conveyor rail 412 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the first conveyor rail 411; and a third conveyor rail 413, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom insulation shell 21, and the top of the outer surface of the third conveyor rail 413 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the second conveyor rail 412. The structure of the stacking conveyor rail 41 is the same as that of the discharging device 5, except that the discharging device 5 is symmetrically arranged with respect to the stacking conveyor rail 41, and the interface of the discharging device 5 is a discharging trough 25.

[0025] The filling component 6 includes: two filling washers 61, which are fixed in the gap between the upper and lower insulation shells 21. The inner cavities of the filling washers 61 are symmetrically provided with through-holes 62 on the front and rear sides; a hollow bending frame 63, the front end of which is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the filling washers 61 through the through-holes 62. The inner wall of the hollow bending frame 63 is rotatably connected to a closed rotating plate 64 through a slot on the side of the filling washers 61. Under normal circumstances, the closed rotating plate 64 will block the slot of the hollow bending frame 63 due to the spring force of the rotating shaft. However, when the internal pressure of the hollow bending frame 63 increases, the closed rotating plate 64 will be pushed down; and a spring push rod 66, the side of the spring push rod 66 away from the separating washer 12 is slidably connected to one side of the inner cavity of the filling washer 61. Pressure sensing elements 65 are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the filling washer 61.

[0026] As inflation proceeds, the returning gas is discharged outward through the mesh opening of the separating gasket 12. At this time, the gas diffuses into the interlayer of the two independent containers 2. The gas is discharged into the interior of the hollow bending frame 63 through the connecting through-hole 62. After pushing the closed rotating plate 64 outward, it is directly discharged to the outside. Since the exhaust capacity of the connecting through-hole 62 is limited, the pressure in the interlayer of the independent container 2 will be relatively large. At this time, the spring push rods 66 on both sides will be pushed towards the side closer to the pressure sensing element 65 under the action of pressure. The pressure sensing element 65 detects the pressure and controls the gas discharge of the inflation rotary pump 3.

[0027] Different feeds are added into different independent containers 2 through the top openings of different sliding guide shells 42. After feeding is completed, the protective top cover 46 is reattached to the top of the conveying device 4, and then the upper pressure top cover 44 is pressed down. At this time, the gas inside the cylindrical container composed of the upper pressure top cover 44 and the compression jacket 43 will be filled into the interior of the stacking conveyor rail 41 through the air inlet 45, blowing the feed stuck inside the stacking conveyor rail 41 into the interior of the independent container 2, thereby reducing the amount of feed residue inside the stacking conveyor rail 41.

[0028] When removing the feed, twist the inner sealing shell 22 to connect the discharge chute 25, rotate the side bottom plate 13, and push the feed into the discharge device 5 on the left side through the side bottom plate 13. Then, the feed is discharged from the bottom of the discharge device 5 under the action of gravity and can be sorted and accepted.

[0029] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art and related fields based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented according to conventional means in the art.
