Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of granulation technology, specifically to a Bacillus subtilis granulation equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Bacillus subtilis is a commonly added probiotic strain in animal feed. It can improve the intestinal flora of animals, enhance the body's immunity, and provide a variety of enzymes needed by animals. It can make up for the lack of endogenous enzymes in animals, promote the growth and development of animals, and has significant probiotic effects.
[0003] Bacillus subtilis products are currently available in both powder and granule forms. Granular products improve the flowability, dispersion, and adhesion of Bacillus subtilis, making them easier for users to handle and carry. Currently, when using a disc granulator for granulation, the granules rotate within the disc and collide with each other, causing some loosely adhered powdery material to fall off due to these collisions. This fallen material continues to rotate within the granulator, hindering the formation of granules. Utility Model Content
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution: A Bacillus subtilis granulation device includes a granulation disc with an upward-facing convex edge fixedly installed on its outer surface. The convex edge has densely packed small holes with a diameter smaller than the granulation particle size. A collection cover is installed on the outside of the convex edge, and a bottom support plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the collection cover. Gaps are left between the bottom support plate and the collection cover, the convex edge, and the granulation disc.
[0005] Furthermore, a fixed shaft is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the granulation disc. The fixed shaft is mounted on a bearing seat below, and a support seat is fixedly installed on the support seat. A motor is fixedly installed on the support seat, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the fixed shaft. The motor provides rotational output power to the granulation disc.
[0006] Furthermore, a housing is installed outside the shaft seat and support seat, both located inside the housing. A hinged joint is hinged to the bottom of the support seat, and a telescopic rod is installed on the side of the support seat above the hinged joint. Both ends of the telescopic rod are fixed to the corresponding support seat and housing via hinged joints. The hinged fixing of the support seat and the telescopic rod allow the granulation disc to rotate and adjust its tilt angle or level, thus enabling the selection of different angles for granulation as needed.
[0007] Furthermore, an inner flange is fixedly installed on the top of the convex edge, and a top cover plate is fixedly installed on the top of the collecting hood. The top cover plate and the bottom support plate are respectively close to the inner flange and the granulation disc. Sliding seals are provided between the top cover plate and the inner flange, and between the bottom support plate and the granulation disc. A transition ring is installed directly below the bottom support plate. A rubber seat is fixedly installed between the top of the transition ring and the bottom of the bottom support plate, and a support rod is fixedly installed between the bottom of the transition ring and the shaft seat. Since the collecting hood is fixed, there must be a contact gap between it and the granulation disc, which requires a sealing element to seal the gap and prevent powder from leaking out through the gap.
[0008] Furthermore, at least one discharge pipe is fixedly installed at the connection position between the collecting hood and the base plate. A valve is installed on the discharge pipe, and the discharge pipe is connected to the collecting hood. The discharge pipe is used to collect the discharge of powder. Whether one or several pipes are installed, the material should be tilted towards the discharge pipe during discharge.
[0009] Furthermore, a baffle is installed above the granulation disc, and a connecting frame is fixedly installed on the baffle. A support bracket is fixedly installed between the connecting frame and the adapter ring, and the bottom of the baffle is attached to the top surface of the granulation disc. The baffle also remains stationary relative to the granulation disc to ensure effective blocking.
[0010] Furthermore, both the top cover plate and the bottom support plate have multiple ball bearing grooves, each containing a movably mounted steel ball. The steel ball protrudes from the surface of the top cover plate and the bottom support plate. Corresponding grooves are pre-set on the inner flange and the granulation disc at the positions of the steel ball, allowing the steel ball to roll and be supported within these grooves. The ball bearing grooves are two-thirds of a circle with a larger inner opening and a smaller outer opening, ensuring that the steel ball will not fall out from the inside.
[0011] Furthermore, support blocks are fixedly installed on the front of the baffle corresponding to the top edge of the convex edge and the middle position of the granulation disc. A brush strip is placed on the front of the baffle, with its side and bottom bristles abutting against the corresponding convex edge and granulation disc. The brush strip is supported by the support blocks. The brush strip can be internally cleaned after each granulation, or it can be used during granulation to improve the blocking effect on the granular material.
[0012] Furthermore, the support bracket has an opening corresponding to the position of the connecting bracket, through which the connecting bracket passes. A threaded block is fixedly installed on the connecting bracket below the support bracket, and a screw rod that is threadedly connected to the threaded block is installed on the support bracket. The contact between the screw rod and the support bracket is through the opening, so that the position of the screw rod on the support bracket will not change when it is rotated. Of course, a threaded connection can also be used, but attention needs to be paid to the position of the screw rod to ensure that the screw head only contacts the support bracket when the baffle is lowered to its lowest position.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model has holes on the outer convex edge of the granulation disc and a collection cover on the outside. In this way, the powder and granules can be separated through the small holes, and the powder can be collected by the collection cover. The powder is no longer mixed in with the granules, thus avoiding the impact on the granulation process.
[0014] 2. In this utility model, a telescopic rod is set to drive the granulation disc to tilt, and a discharge pipe is set on the collection cover. The tilting of the granulation disc is conducive to granulation and forming, and the powder is convenient to be discharged through the discharge pipe after tilting.
[0015] 3. In this utility model, the granulation disc and the collection cover are supported by rolling contact using steel balls. This can reduce mutual frictional resistance and reduce the amount of frictional powder mixed into the material. It can also reduce frictional noise.
[0016] 4. In this utility model, the combination of screw and threaded block provides the baffle with an adjustable vertical position, and the height can be freely adjusted according to the forming particle size. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] This application provides a Bacillus subtilis granulation device, mainly solving the problem that the falling powdery material residue is not conducive to the rotation and forming of granules, and provides the following technical solution, which will be combined with the following... Figures 1-7 Please provide a detailed explanation: A Bacillus subtilis granulation device includes a granulation disc 1, which is circular. An upward-facing convex edge 11 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the granulation disc 1. Dense small holes 13 are opened on the convex edge 11. The diameter of the small holes 13 is smaller than the granulation particle size. An inwardly turned edge 12 facing inward is fixedly installed on the top of the convex edge 11. A fixed shaft 31 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the granulation disc 1. The fixed shaft 31 is mounted on a bearing seat 4 below. A support seat 41 is fixedly installed on the bearing seat 4. A motor 3 is fixedly installed on the support seat 41. The output end of the motor 3 is fixedly connected to the fixed shaft 31. A collection cover 2 is installed on the outside of the protruding edge 11. A bottom support plate 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the collection cover 2. There are gaps between the bottom support plate 21, the collection cover 2 and the protruding edge 11 and the granulation disc 1. A top cover plate 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the collection cover 2. The top cover plate 22 and the bottom support plate 21 are respectively close to the inner flange 12 and the granulation disc 1. A sliding seal 27 is provided between the top cover plate 22 and the inner flange 12 and between the bottom support plate 21 and the granulation disc 1. A transition ring 42 is installed directly below the base plate 21. A rubber seat 43 is fixedly installed between the top of the transition ring 42 and the bottom of the base plate 21. A support rod 44 is fixedly installed between the bottom of the transition ring 42 and the shaft seat 4.
[0021] In use, the irregular granules to be shaped into round pellets are poured onto the granulation disc 1 after being cut, and then the motor 3 is started. The motor 3 drives the granulation disc 1 to rotate through the fixed shaft 31. The irregular granules rotate continuously on the granulation disc 1 and roll on their own, thereby making their surface smooth through rotation and rolling, and thus forming round pellets with regular shapes. When the granulation disc 1 rotates, the powder and slag that fall from the irregular granules enter the collection hood 2 through the small holes 13 by centrifugal force, thereby realizing the separation of powder and slag from the granules. The powder and slag no longer affect the rotation and shaping of the granules.
[0022] In some embodiments, a housing 5 is installed outside the bearing seat 4 and the support seat 41. Both the bearing seat 4 and the support seat 41 are located inside the housing 5. A hinge seat 61 is hinged to the bottom of the support seat 41. A telescopic rod 6 is installed on the side of the support seat 41 above the hinge seat 61. The two ends of the telescopic rod 6 are fixed to the support seat 41 and the housing 5 at the corresponding positions through a hinge seat 62. At least one discharge pipe 23 is fixedly installed at the connection position between the collection cover 2 and the bottom support plate 21. A valve 24 is installed on the discharge pipe 23. The discharge pipe 23 is connected to the collection cover 2.
[0023] When the granules are first poured in, the support base 41 can be rotated by the telescopic rod 6 using the hinge support of the support base 41, so that the granulation disc 1 is horizontal. At this time, the granules can circulate around the surface of the granulation disc 1 as the granules rotate with the granulation disc 1 and roll on their own. The impact force on the granules is small, which can prevent the granules from scattering. After rotating for a certain period of time, the telescopic rod 6 can be used to pull the granulation disc 1 to tilt. At this time, the rotation distance of the granules is reduced and the rotation speed is increased under the influence of their own weight and the rotation of the granulation disc 1, which can improve the granulation speed. After granulation is completed, the disc is tilted to the discharge pipe 23 and the valve 24 is opened to conveniently discharge the collected powder residue.
[0024] In some embodiments, a baffle 7 is installed above the granulation disc 1, a connecting frame 71 is fixedly installed on the baffle 7, a support 72 is fixedly installed between the connecting frame 71 and the adapter ring 42, and the bottom of the baffle 7 is attached to the top surface of the granulation disc 1.
[0025] When the granulation disc 1 rotates, especially when it is tilted, the friction will cause some of the granules to rotate in a circle. Some of the granules will be carried to a high position and then fall and hit the granulation disc 1, the protruding edge 11 or other granules due to insufficient inertia. When the impact of the fall is large, it is easy to destroy the shape of the gradually forming granules. By blocking the baffle 7, its maximum height can be limited, thereby avoiding the fall damage.
[0026] In some embodiments, the top cover plate 22 and the bottom support plate 21 are provided with a plurality of ball grooves 25, and a steel ball 26 is movably installed in each ball groove 25. The steel ball 26 protrudes from the surface of the top cover plate 22 and the bottom support plate 21. The inner flange 12 and the granulation disc 1 are provided with a pre-set groove 14 corresponding to the position of the steel ball 26, and the steel ball 26 rolls and is supported in the groove 14.
[0027] When the granulation disc 1 rotates, the collection cover 2 remains stationary. At this time, the cooperation between the steel ball 26 and the slide 14 can reduce the frictional resistance between the collection cover 2 and the granulation disc 1, thereby ensuring the smooth rotation of the granulation disc 1.
[0028] In some embodiments, a support block 75 is fixedly installed on the front of the baffle 7 corresponding to the top edge of the protruding edge 11 and the middle position of the granulation disk 1. A brush strip 76 is placed on the front of the baffle 7. The side and bottom bristles of the brush strip 76 abut against the protruding edge 11 and the granulation disk 1 at the corresponding positions. The brush strip 76 is supported by the support block 75.
[0029] When granulation is complete, the brush strip 76 can be idled. The brush strip 76 can clean the protruding edge 11 and the surface of the granulation disc 1, sweeping away the attached powder to ensure cleanliness and prepare for the next granulation.
[0030] In some embodiments, the support 72 has an opening corresponding to the position of the connecting frame 71, the connecting frame 71 passes through the opening, a threaded block 73 is fixedly installed on the connecting frame 71 below the support 72, and a screw 74 is installed on the support 72 that is threadedly connected to the threaded block 73.
[0031] By rotating the screw 74, the threaded connection between the screw 74 and the threaded block 73 can be used to drive the connecting frame 71 and the entire baffle 7 to rise or fall under the support of the connecting frame 71 and the support bracket 72, thereby adjusting the contact gap between the baffle 7 and the granulation disc 1, ensuring that the granules are blocked without rubbing against the granulation disc 1.
[0032] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
