Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of feed production, and in particular to a device for mass production of fermented feed. Background Technology

[0002] Fermented feed uses microorganisms and compound enzymes as fermentation agents to transform feed ingredients into a unified biological fermentation feed containing microbial cell protein, bioactive small peptide amino acids, active microbial probiotics, and compound enzyme preparations. This product not only compensates for the amino acids often lacking in conventional feeds but also rapidly converts the nutrients in other roughage ingredients, enhancing digestibility and absorption. However, due to the long fermentation time, fermented feed is difficult to mass-produce, and it needs to be mixed with ordinary feed in a specific ratio to ensure palatability and utilization. Existing production equipment struggles to guarantee uniform mixing. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a batch production device for fermented feed, which can produce fermented feed in batches, thereby ensuring the production efficiency of fermented feed.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A batch production device for fermented feed includes fermentation tanks, fermentation chambers, guide rails, fermentation devices, drying and feeding devices, and mixing devices. Multiple fermentation tanks are arranged side-by-side, each containing a fermentation chamber. Guide rails perpendicular to the length of the fermentation tanks are installed above both sides of the tanks. Movable fermentation devices are mounted on the guide rails. Each fermentation device includes a trolley, a water tank, a transition pipe, a mixing pipe, a drain hose, and a push rod. Two sets of trolleys are placed on the guide rails on both sides of the fermentation tank, and the two sets of trolleys are connected by a connection perpendicular to the guide rails. A straight mixing tube is provided, with a water storage tank placed on one of the trolleys. The outlet of the water storage tank is connected to the mixing tube through a transition pipe. The fermentation microbial components are placed inside the transition pipe. Multiple push rods are vertically installed at the bottom of the mixing tube. A drainage hose is connected to one side of the mixing tube of each push rod. The outlet end of the drainage hose is connected to the protruding end of the push rod. An inlet connected to the drainage hose is machined at the top of the fermentation chamber. A discharge port is machined at one end of the fermentation chamber. A drying and feeding device is installed in the fermentation chamber below the discharge port. The discharge end of the drying and feeding device is connected to the mixing device.

[0006] The fermentation chamber has a semi-circular bottom and a horizontally mounted rotating shaft inside. One end of the rotating shaft passes through the fermentation chamber and is connected to a variable frequency motor. A feeding hopper is located on the top of the fermentation chamber on one side of the variable frequency motor. Multiple spirally distributed arc-shaped pusher plates are mounted on the rotating shaft, with gaps between adjacent pusher plates. A discharge port is machined at the end of the fermentation chamber away from the variable frequency motor. An openable baffle is hinged to the fermentation chamber at the discharge port. A lifting device is machined at the bottom of the fermentation chamber to lift the end of the fermentation chamber closer to the variable frequency motor.

[0007] The water storage tank is equipped with a heater and a temperature sensor for detecting water temperature, and a valve is connected to the outlet of the water storage tank.

[0008] The drying and feeding device includes a conveyor belt, a heating chamber, and a fan. The heating chamber is located above the conveyor belt and wraps around it. A fan facing the conveyor belt is installed at the rear end of the heating chamber. A spring column is vertically installed at the top of the inner part of the heating chamber, and an arc-shaped flap that matches the surface of the conveyor belt is installed at the bottom of the spring column.

[0009] The mixing device includes a mixing hopper, a stirring shaft, and a metering feeder. The stirring shaft is installed inside the mixing hopper, and two metering feeders are installed above the mixing hopper. One metering feeder is connected to the drying and feeding device, and the other metering feeder is connected to the raw material hopper.

[0010] The quantitative feeder includes a measuring cylinder, a screw shaft, and a reset plate. The screw shaft is installed inside the measuring cylinder, and a reset plate that is kept closed is installed at the end of the measuring cylinder.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the fermented feed mass production device provided by this invention are:

[0012] (1) By installing fermentation chambers in multiple fermentation tanks and setting up fermentation devices to transport fermentation liquid, and finally sending fermented feed into mixing devices through drying and feeding devices to mix with unfermented feed to make finished feed that can be directly fed, the batch production of fermented feed can be realized. Furthermore, setting up multiple fermentation chambers can process a variety of fermented feeds, ensuring production efficiency.

[0013] (2) By setting a rotating shaft and multiple spirally distributed arc-shaped pusher plates in the fermentation chamber, the arc-shaped pusher plates can not only push the feed, but also stir the feed, so that the fermentation liquid and the feed are evenly mixed, thereby ensuring the fermentation efficiency of the feed.

[0014] (3) By setting a lifting device at the bottom of the fermentation chamber, one end of the fermentation chamber can be lifted so that the fermented feed in the fermentation chamber can be sent into the drying and feeding device.

[0015] (4) By installing a heater and a temperature sensor in the water storage tank, the water temperature can be controlled, providing a good living environment for the microorganisms in the fermentation microbial community component;

[0016] (5) By setting up a drying and feeding device, the moisture in the fermented feed can be evaporated during the transportation of the fermented feed, so as to avoid the fermented feed from clumping when mixed with ordinary feed, thereby ensuring the dryness of the finished feed and facilitating feed storage.

[0017] (6) By setting up a mixing device, fermented feed and ordinary feed can be mixed in a certain proportion under the action of a quantitative feeder to produce finished feeds in different proportions, thereby increasing the variety of finished feeds. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Example

[0025] like Figures 1-2As shown, the fermented feed batch production device provided in this embodiment includes a fermentation tank 1, a fermentation chamber 2, a guide rail 3, a fermentation device 4, a drying and feeding device 5, and a mixing device 6. Multiple fermentation tanks 1 are arranged side-by-side, and each fermentation tank 1 contains a fermentation chamber 2. Multiple fermentation chambers 2 ensure the quantity and variety of fermented feed. The bottom of each fermentation chamber 2 is semi-circular, and a rotating shaft 23 is horizontally installed inside. One end of the rotating shaft 23 passes through the fermentation chamber 2 and is connected to a variable frequency motor 24, which drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate. A feeding hopper 25 is located on the top of the fermentation chamber 2 on one side of the variable frequency motor 24. The feeding hopper 25 is used to convey feed raw materials into the fermentation chamber 2. Multiple spirally distributed arc-shaped pusher plates 26 are provided on the rotating shaft 23. A gap is left between the feed plates 26. The gap between adjacent arc-shaped pusher plates 26 allows feed to flow out from the gap when the variable frequency motor 24 rotates at low speed, thus achieving the function of stirring the feed. When the variable frequency motor 24 rotates at high speed, the adjacent arc-shaped pusher plates 26 cooperate with each other to push the feed to move within the fermentation chamber 2. A discharge port 22 is machined at the end of the fermentation chamber 2 away from the variable frequency motor 24. An openable baffle 27 is hinged to the fermentation chamber 2 at the discharge port 22. The baffle 27 opens during discharge to remove the fermented feed from the fermentation chamber 2. A lifting device 28 is machined at the bottom of the fermentation chamber 2 to lift the end of the fermentation chamber 2 closest to the variable frequency motor 24. The lifting device 28 uses a hydraulic cylinder as the driving force and works in conjunction with the existing lifting frame to achieve... Since this is existing technology, it will not be described in detail here. The lifting device 28 can tilt the fermentation chamber 2, which on the one hand prevents the fermented feed from remaining between the adjacent arc-shaped push plates 26, and on the other hand can drain the excess fermentation liquid in the fermentation chamber 2. The upper sides of the multiple fermentation tanks 1 are provided with guide rails 3 perpendicular to the length direction of the fermentation tank 1. The guide rails 3 are equipped with movable fermentation devices 4. The fermentation devices 4 can move along the guide rails 3 to the upper side of the corresponding fermentation chamber 2 and send the fermentation liquid into the corresponding fermentation chamber 2. The fermentation device 4 includes a trolley 41, a water storage tank 42, a transition pipe 43, a mixing pipe 44, a drain hose 45, and a push rod 46. There are two sets of trolleys 41. The two sets of trolleys 41 are placed on the guide rails 3 on both sides of the fermentation tank 1, and the two sets of trolleys 41 are connected. A mixing tube 44 is perpendicular to the guide rail 3. A water storage tank 42 is placed on a set of trolleys 41. The water storage tank 42 is equipped with a heater 48 and a temperature sensor 49 for detecting water temperature. The heater 48 can sterilize and disinfect the water, and also raise the water temperature to facilitate the reproduction and cultivation of fermenting bacteria. A valve is connected to the outlet of the water storage tank 42. The outlet of the water storage tank 42 is connected to the mixing tube 44 through a transition tube 43. The mixing tube 44 is used to cultivate fermenting bacteria. A fermentation microbial community component 47 is placed in the transition tube 43. The fermentation microbial community component 47 consists of a filter screen and yeast cells installed in the middle of the filter screen. When water flows through the transition tube 43, it washes over the yeast cells, causing the yeast to mix into the water and cultivate and reproduce in the mixing tube 44.Multiple push rods 46 are vertically installed at the bottom of the mixing tube 44. A drain hose 45 is connected to one side of the mixing tube 44 via each push rod 46. A solenoid valve is installed on the drain hose 45 to control its opening and closing. The outlet end of the drain hose 45 is connected to the protruding end of the push rod 46. An inlet 21 connected to the drain hose 45 is machined at the top of the fermentation chamber 2. After the fermentation device 4 moves above the corresponding fermentation chamber 2, the push rod 46 drives the outlet end of the drain hose 45 into the inlet 21 to deliver the fermentation liquid into the fermentation chamber 2. At this time, the variable frequency motor 24 drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate at low speed, ensuring uniform mixing of the fermentation liquid and feed ingredients. A discharge port 22 is machined at one end of the fermentation chamber 2. A drying and feeding device 5 is installed in the fermentation chamber below the discharge port 22. The discharge end of the drying and feeding device 5 is connected to the mixing device 6.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the drying and feeding device 5 includes a conveyor belt 51, a heating chamber 52, and a fan 53. The heating chamber 52, which wraps around the conveyor belt 51, is located above the conveyor belt 51. A fan 53 is installed at the rear end of the heating chamber 52, facing the conveyor belt 51. The fan 53 blows the heat generated by the heating chamber 52 onto the fermented feed, using the flowing hot air to dry the fermented feed and blow out the water vapor generated during drying. A spring column 54 is vertically installed at the top of the inner part of the heating chamber 52. An arc-shaped flap 55 that matches the surface of the conveyor belt 51 is installed at the bottom of the spring column 54. The spring column 54 can drive the arc-shaped flap 55 to contact the surface of the conveyor belt 51, which is used to turn the fermented feed over to improve the drying efficiency.

[0027] The mixing device 6 includes a mixing bin 61, a stirring shaft 62, and a metering feeder 63. The stirring shaft 62 is installed inside the mixing bin 61 and is driven by a stirring motor. Two metering feeders 63 are installed above the mixing bin 61. One metering feeder 63 is connected to the drying and feeding device 5, and the other metering feeder 63 is connected to the raw material bin. The two metering feeders 63 feed fermented and unfermented feed into the mixing bin 61 in a specific ratio for mixing to produce finished feed. Figure 4 As shown, the quantitative feeder 63 includes a measuring cylinder 631, a screw shaft 632, and a reset plate 633. The screw shaft 632 is installed inside the measuring cylinder 631. The screw shaft 632 pushes the corresponding fermented or unfermented feed into the measuring cylinder 631. The end of the measuring cylinder 631 is equipped with a reset plate 633 that is kept closed. After the feed passes through the measuring cylinder 631, it pushes open the reset plate 633 and flows into the mixing bin 61 for mixing.

[0028] The method of using this invention is as follows:

[0029] In use, the feed to be fermented is first fed into the fermentation chamber 2 through the feed hopper 25. Then, the variable frequency motor 24 drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate, and the feed to be fermented is piled into the fermentation chamber 2 using the arc-shaped pusher plate 26. Then, the heater 48 is started to heat and disinfect the water in the water storage tank 42. After the water temperature cools to the set temperature, the valve is opened to send the water in the water storage tank 42 into the mixing tube 44 through the transition pipe 43. When the water passes through the transition pipe 43, it disperses the fermentation bacteria component 47, so that the bacteria are mixed into the water and multiply in the water. After multiplication, the trolley 41 moves to the top of the corresponding fermentation chamber 2. At this time, the push rod extends and the drain hose 45 is inserted into the inlet 21 of the fermentation chamber 2. At this time, the valve on the drain hose 45 is opened, and the fermentation liquid is sent into the fermentation chamber 2. At the same time, the variable frequency motor 24 rotates at low speed to make the fermentation liquid and the feed to be fermented evenly mixed and then allowed to stand for fermentation. Different fermented feeds can be prepared by changing different fermentation microbial components 47. After the feed fermentation is completed, the lifting device 28 lifts one end of the fermentation chamber 2, and the baffle 27 at the discharge port 22 of the fermentation chamber 2 opens. Then the variable frequency motor 24 is started. The variable frequency motor 24 drives the arc-shaped pusher plate 26 to rotate through the rotating shaft 23, transferring the fermented feed in the fermentation chamber 2 to the drying and feeding device 5. Then the heating chamber 52 and the fan 53 work. The heating chamber 52 dries the fermented feed, and the fan 53 drives the hot air to flow and uses the flowing hot air to discharge the water vapor generated during drying, so as to achieve the drying of the fermented feed. Then the dried fermented feed is sent to the quantitative feeder 63 by the conveyor belt 51. The fermented feed and the unfermented feed are fed into the mixing chamber 61 in a certain proportion through the two quantitative feeders 63. Under the action of the mixing chamber 61, the finished feed is made.

Any modifications and substitutions based on the technical solutions and inventive concepts provided by the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that the structures or components illustrated in the accompanying drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, and the present invention omits descriptions of well-known components, processing technologies, and processes to avoid unnecessarily limiting the present invention.
