Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of feed processing technology, specifically a feed processing conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] Feed has multi-dimensional value in the livestock industry, and its core advantages are reflected in meeting the nutritional needs of animals, improving breeding efficiency, ensuring food safety, and promoting sustainable development.

[0003] Feed contains nutrients such as protein, energy, vitamins, and minerals, which can precisely meet the nutritional needs of animals at different growth stages. In the production process of feed, raw materials need to be processed and transported using trough conveyors or screw conveyors. After the raw materials are batched and mixed, finished feed is obtained.

[0004] When processing feed, since most feed consists of whole grains, after dehulling, the feed still contains some of the grain husks. These husks are rich in cellulose and lignin, which are difficult for animals to digest, thus reducing the quality of the feed.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a feed processing conveyor. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background art is solved.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is as follows: A feed processing conveyor according to the present invention includes a trough conveyor frame; a conveyor belt is installed on the trough conveyor frame; a collection box is provided below the trough conveyor frame; a material selection bin is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the collection box; a fan is fixedly connected to the side wall of the collection box; an air outlet pipe is fixedly connected between the output end of the fan and the material selection bin; a feed hopper is fixedly connected to the top of the material selection bin; a discharge port is opened at the bottom of the material selection bin; a slag discharge port is opened at the end of the material selection bin; and a dustproof plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the collection box. Through the above structure, the content of grain husks in the feed is reduced, thereby improving the production quality of the feed.

[0008] Preferably, a pair of support plates are symmetrically fixed to the side wall of the trough conveyor frame; a first drive motor is fixed to one of the support plates; a rotating rod is fixed to the output end of the first drive motor; the end of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the side wall of the support plate; a first fixed disc is fixed to the middle of the rotating rod; a pair of second fixed discs are fixed to the middle of the rotating rod; the pair of second fixed discs are symmetrically located on both sides of the first fixed disc; multiple steel wires are provided between the pair of second fixed discs and the first fixed disc. Through the above structure, the feed is separated from the clump state, improving the effect of subsequent feed impurity removal and increasing the quality of feed production.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the second fixing disc is fixedly connected to the side wall of one of the second fixing discs; the other end of the steel wire passes through the side wall of the other second fixing disc and is slidably connected; the steel wire passes through the side wall of the first fixing disc and is slidably connected to the first fixing disc; a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the end of the steel wire away from the second fixing disc; springs are fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing plate and the side wall of the second fixing disc. Through the above structure, the tension of the steel wire is used to improve the cutting and separation effect of the steel wire on the feed.

[0010] Preferably, a pair of second drive motors are fixedly connected to the top of the collection box; a first synchronous pulley is fixedly connected to the output end of the second drive motor; a pair of connecting rods are rotatably connected to the middle of the feed hopper; a second synchronous pulley is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod; a synchronous belt is installed between the first synchronous pulley and the second synchronous pulley; and multiple collision rods are fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting rod. The above structure makes the subsequent removal of impurities from the feed more thorough and convenient.

[0011] Preferably, a plurality of heating wires are fixed to the inner wall of the feed selection bin; the heating wires are located between the feed outlet and the air outlet pipe, and the above structure allows the outer shell that is adhered to the feed by moisture to be better detached and cleaned.

[0012] Preferably, a support is fixed to the side wall of the collection box; an electromagnet is fixed to the side wall of the support, and the above structure reduces impurities inside the feed to increase the production quality of the feed.

[0013] Preferably, a slide rod is slidably connected to the electromagnet; an anti-wear plate is fixed to the end of the slide rod. The above structure reduces the problem of wear on the surface of the electromagnet and improves the service life of the electromagnet.

[0014] Preferably, a waste box is fixed to the side wall of the collection box; the waste box is located below the wear-resistant plate. The above structure reduces the problem that debris falls directly into the feed hopper after the electromagnet is de-energized, making it difficult to remove and clean.

[0015] Preferably, the sidewall of the wear-resistant plate is rotatably connected to multiple wear-resistant rollers; the wear-resistant rollers are arranged in an array on the wear-resistant plate; the surface of the wear-resistant rollers and the surface of the electromagnet are in contact with each other. The above structure makes the sliding of the wear-resistant plate smoother and reduces jamming, and the wear-resistant rollers also have a guiding effect on the wear-resistant plate.

[0016] Preferably, a cleaning scraper is fixedly connected to the end of the trough conveyor frame; the side wall of the cleaning scraper and the surface of the conveyor belt are in contact with each other, and the above structure scrapes the feed into the feed hopper, reducing feed waste.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0018] 1. The feed processing conveyor of the present invention removes the outer shell of the feed through airflow, thereby reducing the content of grain outer shell in the feed and improving the production quality of the feed.

[0019] 2. The feed processing conveyor of the present invention, when the feed is conveyed on the conveyor belt, turns on the switch of the support plate, drives the rotating rod to rotate, and causes the steel wire on the rotating rod to cut the continuously conveyed feed, so as to separate the feed from the clump state, improve the effect of removing impurities from the feed, and increase the quality of feed production.

[0028] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 6As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, a feed processing conveyor includes a trough conveyor frame 1; a conveyor belt 11 is installed on the trough conveyor frame 1; a collection box 12 is provided below the trough conveyor frame 1; a selection bin 13 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the collection box 12; a fan 14 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the collection box 12; an air outlet pipe 15 is fixedly connected between the output end of the fan 14 and the selection bin 13; a feed hopper 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the selection bin 13; a discharge port 17 is opened at the bottom of the selection bin 13; a slag outlet 18 is opened at the end of the selection bin 13; and a dustproof plate 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the collection box 12. During operation, feed is placed on the conveyor belt 11, utilizing the combined action of the trough conveyor frame 1 and the conveyor belt 11. The feed is conveyed towards the collection box 12. When the feed reaches the bottom of the conveyor belt 11, it falls directly into the feed hopper 16 and is then conveyed into the sorting bin 13. At this time, the blower 14 blows air into the air outlet 15. Taking advantage of the light weight of the grain husk, the air carries the husk towards the discharge port 18. The feed itself is heavier and cannot be carried by the weak airflow. Under its own gravity, it continues to fall downwards and falls into the collection box 12 through the discharge port 17 for collection, so as to facilitate subsequent processing. The airflow removes the husk inside the feed, reducing the content of grain husk in the feed and improving the production quality of the feed. This device is suitable for any automated warehouse.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a pair of support plates 2 are symmetrically fixed to the side wall of the trough conveyor frame 1; a first drive motor 21 is fixed to one of the support plates 2; a rotating rod 22 is fixed to the output end of the first drive motor 21; the end of the rotating rod 22 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the support plate 2; a first fixed plate 23 is fixed to the middle of the rotating rod 22; a pair of second fixed plates 24 are fixed to the middle of the rotating rod 22; the pair of second fixed plates 24 are symmetrically located on both sides of the first fixed plate 23; multiple steel wires 25 are provided between the pair of second fixed plates 24 and the first fixed plate 23. During operation, when the air moisture is high, the feed will clump together. These clumps of feed will adhere some of the grain husks to the inside of the feed clumps, making them difficult to clean later. When the feed is conveyed on the conveyor belt 11, the switch of the support plate 2 is turned on, which drives the rotating rod 22 to rotate and causes the steel wires 25 on the rotating rod 22 to cut the continuously conveyed feed, separating the feed from the clump state, improving the effect of subsequent feed impurity removal, and increasing the quality of feed production.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, one end of the second fixing plate 24 is fixedly connected to the side wall of one of the second fixing plates 24; the other end of the steel wire 25 passes through the side wall of the other second fixing plate 24 and is slidably connected; the steel wire 25 passes through the side wall of the first fixing plate 23 and is slidably connected to the first fixing plate 23; a fixing plate 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the steel wire 25 away from the second fixing plate 24; a spring 31 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing plate 3 and the side wall of the second fixing plate 24. During operation, by utilizing the elasticity of the spring 31, the fixing plate 3 is continuously moved away from the second fixing plate 24, and the end of the steel wire 25 is continuously pulled, so that the steel wire 25 is always kept taut. The tension of the steel wire 25 is used to improve the cutting and separation effect of the steel wire 25 on the feed.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a pair of second drive motors 4 are fixedly connected to the top of the collection box 12; a first synchronous pulley 42 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second drive motor 4; a pair of connecting rods 41 are rotatably connected to the middle of the feed hopper 16; a second synchronous pulley 43 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 41; a synchronous belt 44 is installed between the first synchronous pulley 42 and the second synchronous pulley 43; a plurality of collision rods 45 are fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting rod 41. During operation, by turning on the switch of the second drive motor 4, the second drive motor 4 drives the first synchronous pulley 42 to rotate continuously. Under the connection of the synchronous belt 44, the second synchronous pulley 43 will drive the connecting rod 41 inside the feed hopper 16 to rotate. At this time, the collision rods 45 located on the connecting rod 41 will continuously collide with the feed, thereby breaking up the fallen feed, making the subsequent removal of impurities from the feed more thorough and convenient.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, multiple heating wires 5 are fixed to the inner wall of the feed selection bin 13; the heating wires 5 are located between the discharge port 17 and the air outlet 15. During operation, the heating wires 5 heat the flowing air, drying the moisture on the surface of the feed during the feed processing. This allows the outer shell adhering to the feed due to moisture to be better removed and cleaned, while making the feed drier and easier for subsequent processing.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a bracket 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the collection box 12; an electromagnet 61 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the bracket 6. When working, by energizing the electromagnet 61, the electromagnet 61 generates magnetic attraction. During the process of the feed falling from the conveyor belt 11 into the feed hopper 16, the metal debris mixed in the feed can be attracted out by the electromagnet 61, thereby reducing the impurities in the feed and increasing the production quality of the feed.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a slide rod 71 is slidably connected to the electromagnet 61; an anti-wear plate 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the slide rod 71. During operation, by covering the surface of the electromagnet 61 with an anti-wear plate 7, when the electromagnet 61 adsorbs metal debris, the debris will adhere to the surface of the anti-wear plate 7, preventing direct contact and friction with the surface of the electromagnet 61, thereby reducing the problem of wear on the surface of the electromagnet 61 and improving the service life of the electromagnet 61.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a waste box 8 is fixed to the side wall of the collection box 12. The waste box 8 is located below the wear-resistant plate 7. During operation, when the electromagnet 61 is still energized, the sliding rod 71 moves the wear-resistant plate 7 away from the electromagnet 61. When the wear-resistant plate 7 and the electromagnet 61 intersect, the electromagnet 61 loses its magnetic attraction. The debris on the surface of the wear-resistant plate 7 away from the electromagnet 61 will fall downwards and into the waste box 8 for collection. This reduces the problem that debris falls directly into the feed hopper 16 after the electromagnet 61 is de-energized and is difficult to remove and clean.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, multiple anti-wear rollers 9 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the anti-wear plate 7; the anti-wear rollers 9 are arranged in an array on the anti-wear plate 7; the surface of the anti-wear rollers 9 and the surface of the electromagnet 61 are in contact with each other. During operation, by setting multiple rotating anti-wear rollers 9 between the anti-wear plate 7 and the electromagnet 61, the sliding of the anti-wear plate 7 is made smoother and jamming is reduced, and the anti-wear rollers 9 also have a guiding effect on the anti-wear plate 7.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a cleaning scraper 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the trough conveyor frame 1; the side wall of the cleaning scraper 10 and the surface of the conveyor belt 11 are in contact with each other. During operation, as the conveyor belt 11 continuously conveys feed, the cleaning scraper 10 scrapes off some of the feed adhering to the surface of the conveyor belt 11 and scrapes the feed into the feed hopper 16, reducing feed waste.

[0039] During operation, feed is placed on conveyor belt 11. The trough conveyor frame 1 and conveyor belt 11 work together to transport the feed towards the collection box 12. When the feed reaches the bottom of conveyor belt 11, it falls directly into the feed hopper 16 and is then transported into the selection bin 13. At this time, air is blown into the air outlet 15 by the blower 14. Taking advantage of the light weight of the grain husk, the air carries the husk towards the discharge port 18. The feed itself is heavier and cannot be carried by the weak airflow. Under its own gravity, it continues to fall downwards and enters the collection box 12 through the discharge port 17 for collection. This allows for subsequent processing. By removing the husk from the feed through airflow, the content of grain husk in the feed is reduced, thus improving the production quality of the feed.

[0040] When the air moisture is high, the feed will clump together. These clumps of feed will have some of the grain husks adhering to the inside of the feed clumps, making them difficult to remove later. When the feed is conveyed on the conveyor belt 11, the switch of the support plate 2 is turned on, which drives the rotating rod 22 to rotate. The steel wire 25 on the rotating rod 22 cuts the continuously conveyed feed, separating the feed from the clumps, improving the effect of removing impurities from the feed and increasing the quality of feed production.

[0041] By utilizing the elasticity of the spring 31, the fixing plate 3 is continuously moved away from the second fixing plate 24, and the end of the steel wire 25 is constantly pulled, so that the steel wire 25 is always kept taut. The tension of the steel wire 25 is used to improve the cutting and separation effect of the steel wire 25 on the feed.

[0042] By turning on the switch of the second drive motor 4, the second drive motor 4 drives the first synchronous wheel 42 to rotate continuously. Under the connection of the synchronous belt 44, the second synchronous wheel 43 will drive the connecting rod 41 inside the feed hopper 16 to rotate. At this time, the collision rod 45 located on the connecting rod 41 will continuously collide with the feed, thereby breaking up the fallen feed, making the subsequent removal of impurities from the feed more thorough and convenient.

[0043] By heating the flowing air with heating wire 5, the moisture on the surface of the feed is dried during the feed processing, which makes it easier to remove and clean the outer shell that is stuck to the feed due to moisture. At the same time, the feed becomes drier and easier to process.

[0044] By energizing the electromagnet 61, the electromagnet 61 is made to magnetically attract the feed. As the feed falls from the conveyor belt 11 into the feed hopper 16, the metal debris mixed in the feed can be attracted out by the electromagnet 61, thereby reducing the impurities in the feed and increasing the production quality of the feed.

[0045] By covering the surface of the electromagnet 61 with a wear-resistant plate 7, when the electromagnet 61 adsorbs metal shavings, the shavings will adhere to the surface of the wear-resistant plate 7, preventing direct contact and friction with the surface of the electromagnet 61. This reduces the wear on the surface of the electromagnet 61 and improves its service life.

[0046] While the electromagnet 61 is still energized, the sliding rod 71 moves the anti-wear plate 7 away from the electromagnet 61. When the anti-wear plate 7 and the electromagnet 61 intersect, the electromagnet 61 loses its magnetic attraction. The debris on the part of the anti-wear plate 7 away from the electromagnet 61 will fall downwards and into the waste box 8 for collection. This reduces the problem of debris falling directly into the feed hopper 16 after the electromagnet 61 is de-energized, making it difficult to remove and clean.

[0047] By setting multiple rotating anti-wear rollers 9 between the anti-wear plate 7 and the electromagnet 61, the sliding of the anti-wear plate 7 is made smoother and jamming is reduced, and the anti-wear rollers 9 also have a guiding effect on the anti-wear plate 7.

[0048] As the conveyor belt 11 continuously transports feed, the cleaning scraper 10 scrapes off some of the feed adhering to the surface of the conveyor belt 11, scraping the feed into the feed hopper 16, thereby reducing feed waste.

[0049] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
