Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment, and in particular to a livestock feed briquetting and packaging machine. Background Technology

[0002] Forage is an important economic feed for livestock farming. Forage farming has low costs, good palatability for livestock, rich nutrition, and is energy-saving and environmentally friendly. Forage includes grain straw such as corn stalks, peanut vines, rice straw, and wheat straw; as well as pasture grasses such as ryegrass, corngrass, and winter grass 70. After harvesting, crushing, shredding, dust removal, and drying, the forage is pressed into rectangular blocks by a briquetting machine and packaged in woven bags before being sold as finished forage to livestock farms throughout the country.

[0003] The grass block baling process takes place at the windproof discharge port of the baler. The discharge port of the baler is a rectangular tube. The compressed grass blocks are gradually pushed out from the rectangular tube. When baling grass blocks, workers need to put woven bags on the rectangular tube of the baler in advance. As the grass blocks are extruded, they are filled into the woven bags and the bags are tightened as the grass blocks naturally expand and fall. After baling, the grass blocks are conveyed away by a conveyor belt.

[0004] The main manual part of this packaging process involves fitting the woven bags onto the square discharge pipe of the briquetting machine. This process presents the following two problems:

[0005] First, the discharge pipe of the briquetting machine is square with a large opening. The woven bags that need to be fitted onto the discharge pipe are soft, and the size of the woven bags after being stretched is only slightly larger than the outer size of the discharge pipe. This causes many inconveniences for workers when fitting the woven bags onto the discharge pipe. They need to stretch the woven bags first, then position them, and then fit them onto the pipe. Moreover, since the woven bags on the discharge pipe also need to slide on the discharge pipe, it is impossible to set up a protruding positioning part on the discharge pipe. Therefore, the work of fitting woven bags in the process of baling straw blocks requires a high level of skill from the workers, and even skilled workers have a considerable rework rate.

[0006] Secondly, currently, when workers manually attach woven bags to the discharge pipe of the briquetting machine, they need to stand at the front end of the discharge pipe. The discharge pipe is quite long, and the workers' arm span is insufficient to effectively attach the woven bags in one go. They need to turn to the side for secondary assistance and extension. This process, which requires multiple repetitions, increases the workload and labor intensity of the workers and reduces production efficiency.

[0007] Existing technologies provide large grass block baling devices, such as the one with application number 202210982201.0 and patent name: "A rapid baling device for Artemisia argyi processing". This baling device uses a method of rotating and wrapping grass blocks with a film. The equipment has a high degree of automation, but the equipment cost is high and the operation is relatively cumbersome. The amount of materials consumed by the equipment to bale one grass block is also greater than that of woven bags. Therefore, the overall baling cost is not friendly to small and medium-sized enterprises.

[0008] Therefore, improving the automation level of the existing workers' packaging process, with the aim of reducing costs and increasing efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of workers, has a good market prospect, because the present invention provides a new livestock feed briquetting and packaging machine to improve the problems faced by workers in the existing bagging and packaging process. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a livestock feed briquetting and baling machine, which effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0010] The technical solution to the problem includes a U-shaped plate with an opening facing left. A guide rod is fixed to the front end of each of the two side plates of the U-shaped plate, and the two guide rods are symmetrical vertically. A horizontal slide rail is installed in the middle of the bottom plate of the U-shaped plate. A vertical support rod is slidably installed on the left side of the slide rail. A hinge seat is provided at each of the upper and lower ends of the support rod. A first support column parallel to the slide rail is rotatably installed on each hinge seat. A second support column parallel to the first support column is provided on the outside of each first support column. The first support column and its corresponding second support column are connected by a telescopic rod. A spring that allows the telescopic rod to extend and return to its original position is fitted on the telescopic rod. A torsion spring that allows the first support column to return to its original position is provided inside the hinge seat. A guide roller parallel to the telescopic rod is provided on the outside of each telescopic rod. When the support rod is at the front end of the slide rail, the torsion spring's return action causes the axes of the first and second support columns to be in the same vertical plane. When the support rod slides backward along the slide rail, the guide rod and guide roller cause the second support column to swing inward and eventually form a rectangular structure with the first support column.

[0011] Furthermore, the support rod comprises two sections: a horizontal section fixed to the U-shaped plate and an inclined section smoothly connected to the front end of the horizontal section.

[0012] Furthermore, a slider is provided on the slide rail, the middle of the support rod is fixed to the left side of the slider, and a handle is fixed to the right side of the slider.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the first and second support columns is provided with a bracket, and the two ends of the telescopic rod are respectively fixed on the brackets on the corresponding sides. The guide roller is fixed on the bracket of the first support column and placed on the outside of the telescopic rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the hinge seat is provided with a limiting rod. When the axis of the first support column and the axis of the second support column are in the same vertical plane, the limiting rod contacts and limits the position of the bracket on the first support column.

[0015] Furthermore, the hinge seat has an arc-shaped plate structure, with the open ends of the two hinge seats facing each other.

[0016] This invention improves the problems of high labor intensity, low efficiency, and high rework rate in the process of packing straw blocks by increasing the mechanization and automation of workers putting woven bags into the discharge pipe. Furthermore, the components of this invention are all connected by a purely mechanical structure, requiring no external power, and are compatible with briquetting machines. The production, use, and maintenance costs of this device are relatively low, making it suitable for current production needs. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Depend on Figures 1 to 7As can be seen, the present invention includes a U-shaped plate 1 with its opening facing left. A guide rod 2 is fixed to the front end of each of the two side plates of the U-shaped plate 1. The two guide rods 2 are symmetrical vertically. A horizontal slide rail 3 is installed in the middle of the bottom plate of the U-shaped plate 1. A vertical support rod 4 is slidably installed on the left side of the slide rail 3. A hinge seat 5 is provided at each of the upper and lower ends of the support rod 4. A first support column 6 parallel to the slide rail 3 is rotatably installed on each hinge seat 5. A second support column 7 parallel to the slide rail 3 is provided on the outer side of each first support column 6. The first support column 6 and its corresponding second support column 7... The two support columns 7 are connected by a telescopic rod 8. A spring 9 is fitted on the telescopic rod 8 to allow it to return to its original position and extend. A torsion spring is provided in the hinge seat 5 to allow the first support column 6 to return to its original position. A guide roller 10 parallel to each telescopic rod 8 is provided on the outside of each telescopic rod 8. When the support rod 4 is at the front end of the slide rail 3, the return action of the torsion spring makes the axis of the first support column 6 and the axis of the second support column 7 lie in the same vertical plane. When the support rod 4 slides backward along the slide rail 3, the second support column 7 swings inward under the action of the guide rod 2 and the guide roller 10 and finally forms a rectangular structure with the first support column 6.

[0026] In order to achieve the guiding function of the guide rod 2 and enable the support rod 4 to drive the second support column 7 to swing inward into place when sliding backward, the support rod 4 includes two sections: a horizontal section fixed to the U-shaped plate 1 and an inclined section smoothly connected to the front end of the horizontal section.

[0027] To facilitate the sliding installation of the support rod 4 on the slide rail 3 and to facilitate the driving of the support rod 4, a slider 11 is provided on the slide rail 3. The middle of the support rod 4 is fixed to the left side of the slider 11, and a handle 12 is fixed to the right side of the slider 11.

[0028] In order to install the telescopic rod 8 and the guide roller 10, a bracket 13 is provided on both the first support column 6 and the second support column 7. The two ends of the telescopic rod 8 are respectively fixed on the bracket 13 on the corresponding side, and the guide roller 10 is fixed on the bracket 13 of the first support column 6 and placed on the outside of the telescopic rod 8.

[0029] In order to limit and support the first support column 6 and the second support column 7 of the torsion spring after they are in the same vertical plane, the hinge seat 5 is provided with a limiting rod 14. When the first support column 6 and the second support column 7 are in the same vertical plane, the limiting rod 14 contacts and limits the support 13 on the first support column 6.

[0030] To reduce the space occupied by the hinge seat 5 between the first support column 6 and the second support column 7, the hinge seat 5 is an arc-shaped plate structure, with the open ends of the two hinge seats 5 facing each other.

[0031] The specific working process of this invention is as follows: When using this device, it is customized according to the size of the discharge pipe of the briquetting machine. The dimensions of each component after customization should be maintained. The length of the slide rail 3 should be sufficient to allow its front end to extend out of the discharge pipe. The horizontal section of the guide rod 2 is slightly longer than the length of the discharge pipe. The length of the support rod 4 is sufficient to allow the two first support columns 6 to be located on the angle bisector of the discharge pipe section. It should be as close to the discharge pipe as possible without contacting it. The limiting rod 14 should be in contact with the limiting roller. The telescopic rod 8 is a multi-stage telescopic rod 8. The telescopic strength of the spring 9 should not be set too strong. It is advisable to keep the woven bag open and prevent it from falling off.

[0032] Using two first support columns 6 as positioning points, the U-shaped plate 1 is fixed to the briquetting machine with bolts. During use, the slider 11 is driven by the handle 12 to move the support rod 4 to the front end of the slide rail 3. At this time, the guide roller 10 moves along the guide rod 2 to the inclined section of the guide rod 2. Under the action of the torsion spring and the limiting rod 14, the second support column 7 is reset and swings until the axis of the second support column 7 and the axis of the first support column 6 are in the same vertical plane. At this time, the torsion spring still has spare force to keep the second support column 7 and the axis of the first support column 6 in the same vertical plane stable. The worker takes out a woven bag and puts the first support column 6 and the second support column 7 in this state into the woven bag. During this process, the telescopic rod 8 is driven to retract the spring 9 and is compressed. After the packing is completed, the woven bag is supported by the reset action of the spring 9. At this time, the opening of the woven bag is supported into a strip shape.

[0033] After the pre-installation of the woven bag is completed, the slider 11 is driven by the handle 12 to move the support rod 4 backward. During this process, the guide roller 10 slides along the inclined section of the guide rod 2 and the telescopic rod 8 swings to the left under the guidance of the guide rod 2. During this process, under the constraint of the woven bag and the reset action of the spring 9, the opening shape of the woven bag gradually changes from the original strip shape to a rectangle that matches the shape of the discharge pipe. Before the woven bag reaches the discharge pipe, the opening shape is completely matched with the discharge pipe. After completion, the guide roller 10 moves smoothly along the inclined section of the guide rod to the horizontal end of the guide rod 2 and, under the limit of the guide rod 2, the woven bag is fitted onto the discharge pipe.

[0034] As the grass blocks are extruded, they cause the bottom of the woven bag to move outward. During this process, the woven bag moves outward and is filled with the naturally expanding grass blocks. In this process, the first support column 6 and the second support column 7 are moved outward until a grass block is completely loaded into the woven bag. Then, the worker applies force to detach the first support column 6 and the second support column 7 from the woven bag. At this time, the woven bag filled with grass blocks is carried by the roller support and moved onto the conveyor belt for transfer. Then, the handle 12 returns to its original position and slides to the front end of the slide rail 3. The second support column 7 returns to its original position and the woven bag can be reinstalled for packing the next grass block.

[0035] The advantages of this baling machine are as follows:

[0036] 1. When installing woven bags using this baling machine, it is not necessary to directly install them onto the rectangular discharge pipe. Instead, the woven bags only need to be installed on the first support column 6 and the second support column 7, which are in the same vertical plane. Due to the positional relationship between the first support column 6 and the second support column 7, it is more convenient and faster to install the woven bags. The installed woven bags can be automatically transformed to fit the rectangular discharge pipe under the drive of the handle 12. Using this baling machine can improve the bagging efficiency of woven bags and effectively reduce the rework rate.

[0037] 2. By using this packaging machine, workers can complete the bagging process by standing on one side of the discharge pipe. This avoids the need to move to the correct position after bagging due to insufficient arm reach, which is required when standing at the front of the discharge pipe. This reduces unnecessary movements and operations for workers, making the entire bagging and packaging process simpler. With the simplified operation steps, the labor intensity of workers is reduced.

[0038] 3. This invention improves the mechanization and automation of workers putting woven bags into the discharge pipe, thus alleviating the problems of high labor intensity, low efficiency, and high rework rate in the process of baling straw blocks. Furthermore, the components of this invention are all connected by a purely mechanical structure, requiring no external power, and are compatible with baling machines. The production, use, and maintenance costs of this device are relatively low, making it suitable for current production needs.
