Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed processing, and in particular to a mixed fermentation tank for feed production. Background Technology
[0002] The role of feed fermentation is mainly reflected in the following aspects: Enhancing nutritional value: Microorganisms break down macromolecules (such as cellulose and protein) to produce smaller peptides, organic acids, and other nutrients that are more easily absorbed. Enhanced palatability: Fermentation produces aromatic substances (such as lactic acid and esters), which improve feed flavor and promote animal feed intake; Extended shelf life: Lactic acid bacteria and other microorganisms inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, prevent mold growth, and reduce the use of additives; Reduce anti-nutritional factors: Degrade phytic acid, tannins, etc., and improve mineral utilization.
[0003] While existing technologies can achieve certain feed fermentation processes, they suffer from drawbacks: the mixing modes of existing feed fermentation tanks are limited, which can easily damage the surface structure of the feed. In view of this, we propose a mixed fermentation tank for feed production that solves the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing a mixed fermentation tank for feed production.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A mixing fermentation tank for feed production includes a box body, a stirring rack, an air pump, and silicone diaphragm blades. The stirring rack is provided inside the box body, and the air pump is provided at the lower end of the box body. The surface of the stirring rack is provided with silicone diaphragm blades. An installation column is provided at the bottom inside the box body. A sealed bearing is fixed at the upper end of the installation column. The inner rotating end of the sealed bearing is fixedly connected to the stirring rack. An air passage is provided inside the stirring rack and communicates with the silicone diaphragm blades. An air passage is also provided inside the installation column and communicates with the air pump. When in use, this device uses a motor-driven stirring rack to rotate and stir the feed, which helps the feed ferment inside the chamber. The control panel has a temperature control system to ensure a suitable temperature inside the chamber. A vibration-type viscosity sensor can sense the viscosity of the feed. An auxiliary air pump can inflate the silicone diaphragm blades through the air passage. The degree of aeration varies depending on the viscosity, allowing for more thorough stirring during rotation. Furthermore, the silicone diaphragm blades are flexible and will not damage the surface material of the feed. This device has an adaptive stirring and fermentation effect based on feed viscosity, and can adapt to the fermentation of feeds of different viscosities. It also provides different stirring effects at different stages of feed fermentation, making it highly practical.
[0006] Preferably, the air pump is fixed to the outer wall of the lower end of the housing via a mounting base. A transmission pipe is provided between the air pump and the mounting column. The external design of the air pump avoids occupying the internal volume of the housing. At the same time, the short-path transmission pipe can quickly respond to the charging / discharging demand, improving energy efficiency. The air path is formed between the mounting column, the sealed bearing and the stirring frame, so there will be no air leakage problem.
[0007] Preferably, the surface of the box is provided with a feed pipe assembly, and the lower end of the box is provided with a discharge pipe. The feed pipe assembly supports the separate addition of solid and liquid raw materials, avoiding the pre-mixing step. The inverted conical box and the side discharge pipe design achieve zero-residue discharge and reduce waste.
[0008] Preferably, a bracket is fixed to the lower end of the box, and a base is fixed to the lower end of the bracket. A control panel is provided on one outer wall of the box. The bracket and the base form a triangular support to counteract the eccentric vibration of the stirring. The control panel integrates functions such as temperature control and viscosity monitoring.
[0009] Preferably, the upper end of the box is provided with a top cover, and a motor is fixed on the upper end of the top cover. A rotating shaft is fixed in the middle of the stirring rack. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the upper end of the rotating shaft. The direct connection between the top cover motor and the rotating shaft reduces transmission loss, while the sealing design maintains the air pressure balance inside the tank.
[0010] Preferably, a pressure gauge is provided on one side of the upper end of the tank. The pressure gauge is connected to the feed pipe assembly. The pressure gauge monitors the changes in air pressure inside the tank in real time to help determine the activity of microorganisms (such as the amount of CO2 generated) and avoid the risk of overpressure.
[0011] Preferably, the lower end of the box is inverted triangular, and the lower end of the stirring rack is one centimeter away from the inner wall of the box. The inverted triangular structure guides the material to gather towards the center, and the one-centimeter gap design prevents bottom sedimentation and improves the mixing uniformity.
[0012] Preferably, the stirring rack is equipped with a vibration viscosity sensor in the middle. The vibration sensor directly contacts the core flow zone of the material, which has strong resistance to particle interference. The data is fed back to the control system to automatically adjust the stirring parameters.
[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are: This invention utilizes flexible stirring to protect fibers: the silicone diaphragm blades adaptively adjust their hardness through air pressure, which can fully mix high-viscosity feed while avoiding damage to the fiber structure by rigid blades, thus preserving the nutritional value of the feed. Combined with feedback from a vibration viscosity sensor, the air volume of the blades is adjusted in real time, achieving full-process adaptation from low-viscosity liquid fermentation to high-viscosity solid fermentation. The mounting column and stirring frame are connected by a sealed bearing to prevent air leakage and the intrusion of miscellaneous bacteria, ensuring the stability of the anaerobic fermentation environment.
[0014] Based on the first beneficial effect, this patent solves the industry pain point of traditional feed fermenters' difficulty in balancing mixing efficiency and material integrity protection through an innovative combination of a pneumatic flexible stirring system (silicone diaphragm blades + air pump linkage) and an intelligent monitoring module (viscosity sensor + temperature control system). Specifically, it can dynamically adjust stirring intensity (aeration volume / speed), temperature, and air pressure to cover the needs of multiple scenarios such as silage, liquid fermentation, and high-fiber raw materials; the design of sealed bearings and inverted triangular box body ensures long-term stable operation; and fermentation parameters are automatically optimized through sensor data, reducing the intensity of manual intervention.
[0015] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description
