Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of distiller's grains processing, and in particular to a device and a method for fermenting distiller's grains into livestock and poultry feed. Background Art

[0002] As a byproduct of liquor, distiller's grains are very good feed with high nutritional value, which is beneficial to the growth of livestock and poultry. It has been determined that distiller's grains are rich in protein, and 18 kinds of amino acids can be detected from them. Distiller's grains are also rich in inorganic elements such as phosphorus and potassium, as well as vitamins and other ingredients. In addition, there may be trace beneficial ingredients such as ribonucleic acid and purine produced by microbial cells, all of which are incomparable to grains. This is an important feature of the nutritional composition of distiller's grain feed that is different from that of grains.

[0003] Based on the above-mentioned fact that distiller's grains have good nutritional components, distiller's grains can also be used as a component of livestock and poultry feed to improve the nutritional value of the feed. However, after brewing, the distiller's grains usually still contain a large amount of alcohol and water. In order to prepare them into livestock and poultry feed, the alcohol and water components must be effectively separated from the solid components. However, the existing feed preparation devices that separate alcohol and water from distiller's grains cannot efficiently separate the alcohol and water components of the distiller's grains from the distiller's grains solids. In view of this, we propose a device and method for fermenting distiller's grains into livestock and poultry feed. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a device and method for fermenting distiller's grains into livestock and poultry feed, which can effectively solve the problem that the existing feed preparation device that separates the wine and water in the distiller's grains cannot efficiently separate the wine and water components of the distiller's grains from the distiller's grains solids.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0010] Furthermore, a limit rail is fixedly installed in the upper frame, the chain belt is located in the limit rail, and two turning points are arranged at the lower part of the limit rail, and the amplitude of one turning point is greater than the amplitude of the other turning point; when the control rod passes through the two turning points, it will push the pressure block to move toward the working box, and the two movement distances are in a progressive relationship.

[0011] Furthermore, a support rod is slidably inserted into one side of the upper frame, a scraper is fixedly installed at one end of the support rod, the cross-section of the scraper is triangular, and a spring b is sleeved on the other end of the support rod, and the end of the spring b is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper frame; the scraper slides along the surface of the pressure block.

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0033] Example: Refer to the attached Figure 1 —Attachment Figure 8As shown, a device for fermenting wine lees into livestock and poultry feed includes a body 1, a material guide rack is arranged on one side of the body 1, the body 1 is provided with multiple groups of filtering components 2 for separating wine and water from wine lees, the filtering components 2 include an operating box 201, the wine lees enter the operating box 201 through the material guide rack, the cross-section of the operating box 201 is an inverted trapezoid, the inverted trapezoid structure is conducive to the introduction of wine lees and the rapid dumping of the wine lees after the wine and water are removed, a filter net bag 202 is arranged in the operating box 201, the wine and water contained in the squeezed wine lees can pass through the filter net bag 202 and be separated from the wine lees solids, the edge of the filter net bag 202 is fixedly connected to the operating box 201, so that the central part of the filter net bag 202 can change its shape at will, which is conducive to cleaning the wine lees adhering to the filter net bag 202, and the bottom of the operating box 201 is fixedly installed with a filter plate 203. The filter plate 203 is made of flexible material and has no fixed shape, so it needs a filter plate 203 as a support underneath, so that the pressing block 403 can squeeze and remove the wine from the lees. Two guide plates 204 are slidably inserted on the filter plate 203. The guide plates 204 can lift the filter net bag 202 and loosen the lees, and even change the upper and lower layers of part of the lees in the gap when the pressing block 403 performs the dehydration operation on the lees in the same operation box 201 twice, and the push rod 206 is fixedly installed on the connecting rod 205 to control the lifting and lowering of the two guide plates 204.

[0034] Specifically, a transmission belt a101 for driving the movement of multiple groups of filter components 2 is provided in the body 1 and on both sides of the filter component 2. The transmission belt a101 controls the movement of multiple groups of work boxes 201. Two groups of convex blocks 102 are fixedly connected in the body 1. When the transmission belt a101 drives the filter component 2 to pass through the convex block 102, the push rod 206 slides along the surface of the convex block 102 and pushes the guide plate 204 up through the connecting rod 205. The guide plate 204 pushes the filter net bag 202 to deform, and then the lees that have been flattened thereon will loosen and deform.

[0035] Furthermore, a fixing seat 208 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the filter plate 203 and on one side of the guide plate 204. The fixing seat 208 fixes the position of the sliding rod. A sliding rod is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing seat 208. The sliding rod supports the guide plate 204 so that the guide plate 204 and the filter plate 203 are relatively slidably connected. A sliding groove 207 is opened on the outer side of the guide plate 204. The sliding rod is slidably inserted in the sliding groove 207. As the filter assembly 2 moves and rotates, the sliding rod supports the guide plate 204 to slide in a vertical direction relative to the filter plate 203.

[0036] An upper frame 3 is fixedly installed above the machine body 1, and multiple groups of extrusion components 4 for extruding wine lees are arranged in the upper frame 3. A transmission belt b301 for moving the extrusion components 4 and a chain belt 303 for controlling the extrusion components 4 to perform extrusion operations are arranged in the upper frame 3. When the extrusion components 4 are driven by the transmission belt b301 to rotate, the chain belt 303 moves synchronously therewith and pushes the extrusion components 4 to remove the wine from the wine lees.

[0037] Specifically, the extrusion assembly 4 includes a limit ring 401 fixedly installed on the transmission belt b301, the limit ring 401 limits the sliding trajectory of the guide rod 402, the guide rod 402 is slidably inserted on the limit ring 401, the guide rod 402 controls the lifting and lowering of the pressure block 403, the bottom end of the guide rod 402 is slidably inserted with a pressure block 403, the pressure block 403 presses the lees to remove the wine, and a control rod 405 is rotatably installed on the guide rod 402, and the control rod 405 is fixedly connected to the chain belt 303, and the chain belt 303 controls the guide rod 402 to slide along the inner wall of the limit ring 401 through the control rod 405.

[0038] Furthermore, a movable cavity is provided in the pressing block 403, and the guide rod 402 drives the pressing block 403 to press down the lees. When encountering lees with low water content and cannot be pressed down to a normal height, the pressing block 403 moves upward relative to the guide rod 402, and the end of the guide rod 402 is fixedly connected to a spring a404, and the end of the spring a404 is fixedly connected to the pressing block 403. When encountering lees with a large water content, although the pressing block 403 can be further extended downward relative to the guide rod 402 to press the lees by its own weight, the lees still cannot be fully dehydrated. The spring a404 can compensate for a certain thrust of the guide rod 402 that cannot contact the pressing block 403, thereby preventing the reaction force of the lees from pushing the pressing block 403 to move upward along the guide rod 402.

[0039] Furthermore, a limit rail 302 is fixedly installed in the upper frame 3, and the chain belt 303 is located in the limit rail 302. The limit rail 302 limits the rotation trajectory of the chain belt 303. Two turning points are set at the lower position of the limit rail 302, and the amplitude of one turning point is greater than the amplitude of the other turning point. When the control rod 405 passes through the two turning points, it will push the pressing block 403 to move toward the working box 201, and the two movement distances are in a progressive relationship; even if the wine lees are pressed to the extreme once, if the wine lees have a certain thickness, the wine lees located in the upper layer will still contain a certain amount of moisture. To avoid this problem, the wine lees need to be turned over and pressed again, and because the thickness of the wine lees will inevitably decrease after the wine is dehydrated again, the amplitude of the second turning point needs to be larger than the amplitude of the first turning point, so that the guide rod 402 can be controlled to further descend and push the pressing block 403 to squeeze the moisture in the wine lees.

[0040] Furthermore, a support rod is slidably inserted into one side of the upper frame 3, and the support rod drives the scraper 304 to move back and forth horizontally. A scraper 304 is fixedly installed at one end of the support rod. The cross-section of the scraper 304 is triangular. The scraper 304 slides along the surface of the pressing block 403, and the scraper 304 scrapes off the lees adhered to the surface of the pressing block 403. A spring b is sleeved on the other end of the support rod, and the end of the spring b is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper frame 3. The spring b controls the scraper 304 to always adhere to the surface of the pressing block 403 by pushing the support rod, so that the three sides of the pressing block 403 can be cleaned.

[0041] A water collecting tank 103 for collecting wine is fixedly installed in the middle of the body 1. The water separated by the filter net bag 202 will fall into the water collecting tank 103 and be discharged from the body 1 through a water pipe connected to one side of the water collecting tank 103.

[0042] Furthermore, although the operation box 201 moves to an inverted state with the displacement of the transmission belt a101, the filter net bag 202 naturally droops and can dump the lees into blocks, there is still a problem that the lees are adhered to the filter net bag 202. A bracket is fixedly installed at the bottom of the body 1, and the bracket supports a plurality of air ducts 104 and supplies air to the air ducts 104. A plurality of air ducts 104 are fixedly installed on the bracket, and two air jets 1041 are symmetrically provided on the air duct 104. A swing block 1042 is dynamically installed, and the air duct 104 is connected to the air supply pipe. The air supply pipe intermittently supplies gas with constantly changing intensity. The gas entering the air duct 104 can push the swing block 1042 to rotate in an undirected manner in the air duct 104, and then, the unstable gas is randomly discharged from a single jet port 1041, and the gas is blown toward the working box 201, causing the filter net bag 202 to vibrate with different amplitudes. While drying the adhering lees, the cleaning of the lees is accelerated to prevent the lees debris from clogging the mesh of the filter net bag 202.

[0043] A method for using a device for fermenting distiller's grains into livestock and poultry feed comprises the following steps:

[0044] S100: pour the wine lees to be processed into the working box 201, and firstly filter the wine lees through the provided filter net bag 202;

[0045] S200: Subsequently, a certain amount of lees can be initially filtered by the provided filtering assembly 2, and the provided transmission belt a101 is used to drive the multiple operation boxes 201 to move;

[0046] S300: The extrusion component 4 is arranged in cooperation with the above process, and can extrude the wine lees to improve the separation efficiency between the wine lees and the wine and water. When the separation of the wine and water in the wine lees is completed, the wine lees solids on the filter net bag 202 can be taken out.

[0047] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
