Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of corn hullers, specifically to a feed production equipment with a corn hulling mechanism and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] A corn kernel remover is an agricultural machine used to remove corn kernels. It uses a motor to drive a rotating drum or rotor, and the kernels are removed by the friction and squeezing action of the toothed structure or washboard on the drum against the corn cob. The equipment typically includes a feed inlet, a kernel-removing drum, a screen, and a discharge outlet. Parameters can be adjusted according to the size of the corn cob to accommodate different varieties.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent CN108093882B discloses a corn thresher, including a support frame, a thresher body mounted on the support frame, and a corn feeder for feeding corn into the thresher body. The thresher body includes a feed inlet, a housing located below the feed inlet, a threshing blade assembly disposed within the housing, and a separation device disposed below the housing. The threshing blade assembly includes an annular blade holder mounted within the housing in a manner that allows rotation around an axis, a plurality of threshing blades evenly distributed along the circumference of the blade holder and elastically connected to the blade holder along the axial direction, and a drive device for driving the blade holder to rotate.

[0004] However, the aforementioned existing technology still has some problems. Although it can complete the shelling of corn cobs, it cannot inspect the corn cobs before shelling. For irregularly shaped corn cobs, such as V-shaped or Y-shaped ones, firstly, it is difficult to shell these corn cobs, and secondly, mold is prone to grow at the corners of these corn cobs. Existing shelling machines are difficult to screen these corn cobs, which can damage the shelling machine during shelling. Furthermore, after the shelled corn kernels are initially bagged, moldy kernels may also be found inside the packaging bags, which can easily cause contamination. This contamination can then occur during the later crushing and feed production process, leading to the death of poultry when fed such feed.

[0005] Therefore, ensuring the smooth progress of corn kernel removal is a problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0055] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0057] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.

[0058] This invention discloses a feed production device with a corn husking mechanism and its method of use, referring to... Figures 1-13 ,include:

[0059] An installation frame 1 is provided, comprising a granulating unit 2 and a rejection unit 6 mounted on the installation frame 1, a guide plate 3 connected to the discharge end of the granulating unit 2, a bagging unit 4 connected to the guide plate 3, and a conveying platform 5 mounted on the installation frame 1; the granulating unit 2 includes a feeding component 21, a feeding assembly 22, and a granulator 23; the feeding component 21 is mounted on the installation frame 1 and is used to transport corn to the feeding assembly 22; the feeding assembly 22 is located on the installation frame 1 and is used to transport corn to the granulator 23; the granulator 23 is used to receive the feeding assembly 21. 2. The corn is transported and the kernels are removed, allowing the kernels to be transported along the guide plate 3 to the bagging area. In this device, the feeding component 22 allows normal corn cobs to move relative to the feeding component 21, enabling the corn cobs to roll through the visual inspection area and complete the inspection. The irregularly shaped corn cobs move a shorter distance on the feeding component 21, so they can also pass through the visual inspection area and be inspected.

[0060] The feeding assembly 22 includes a housing 228 mounted on the feeding component 21, a feeding motor 221 fixedly connected to the housing 228, a first transmission roller 222 connected to the output end of the feeding motor 221, a drive gear 223 disposed on the first transmission roller 222, two second transmission rollers 225 rotatably disposed on the housing 228, a feeding seat 226 sleeved on the second transmission rollers 225, a connecting gear 227 sleeved on the second transmission rollers 225 and meshing with each other, and a driven gear 224 disposed on one of the second transmission rollers 225 and meshing with the drive gear 223. When feeding corn cobs is required and in order to ensure that the corn cobs pass through the detection area of ​​the vision acquisition device in an orderly manner, this device includes a feeding assembly 22. When the corn cobs need to be inspected before threshing, the feeding motor 222... 1. Upon startup, the moving feeding motor 221 drives the first transmission roller 222 to rotate. The moving first transmission roller 222 drives the drive gear 223 to rotate. The moving drive gear 223 drives the driven gear 224 to rotate. The moving driven gear 224 drives one of the second transmission rollers 225 to rotate. At this time, the connecting gear 227 enables the two feeding seats 226 to rotate in opposite directions. Thus, the feeding assembly 22 enables the corn cobs to pass through the visual detection area of ​​the vision collector in an orderly manner. At the same time, when the corn cob leaves the feeding seat 226, the feeding seat 226 will apply a certain pushing force to the corn cob, so that the normal corn cob can roll on the feeding component 21, ensuring that the vision collector can collect the corn cob, avoiding missed detection areas on the corn cob, and preventing moldy corn cobs from entering the huller 23.

[0061] The pelletizing unit 2 further includes an adjustment unit 24 disposed on the housing 228, and a plurality of vision acquisition devices disposed on the adjustment unit 24; the adjustment unit 24 includes a fixed frame 241 connected to the housing 228, a rotary motor 242 disposed on the fixed frame 241, a crank 243 connected to the output end of the rotary motor 242, and at least two mounting portions 244 disposed on the crank 243; the vision acquisition devices are disposed on the mounting portions 244; the mounting portions 244 include a connector 2441 sleeved on the crank 243, an adapter rod 2442 connected to the connector 2441, a snap-fit ​​frame 2445 and a movable joint 2443 respectively disposed on the adapter rod 2442, and a movable seat 2444 disposed on the fixed frame 241; the movable joint 2443 is located on the movable seat 2444 and is movably connected to the movable seat 2444; the crank 243 is an axisymmetric figure, and the crank 243 includes a first connecting rod 2431. A second connecting rod 2432 is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the first connecting rod 2431, and a third connecting rod 2433 is connected to the second connecting rod 2432; one of the third connecting rods 2433 is connected to the rotating motor 242, and the other third connecting rod 2433 is movably connected to the fixed frame 241; the axes of the first connecting rod 2431 and the third connecting rod 2433 coincide, and there are angles between the first connecting rod 2431 and the third connecting rod 2433 and the second connecting rod 2432, respectively. The adapter rod 2442 has a Z-shaped structure and the connector 2441 is sleeved on the second connecting rod 2432. The adapter rod 2442 includes two second rod portions 24423 disposed on the movable joint 2443, a transition rod 24422 connected to one of the second rod portions 24423, and a first rod portion 24421 for connecting the transition rod 24422. The other second rod portion 24423 is connected to the snap-fit ​​frame 2445. Both the first rod portion 24421 and the other second rod portion 24423 have a Z-shaped structure.

[0062] Through the adjustment unit 24, when the rotating motor 242 starts working, the moving rotating motor 242 can drive the crank 243 to move, thereby driving the mounting part 244 to move. Since the vision acquisition device is mounted on the mounting part 244, the position adjustment of the vision acquisition device is completed. This adjustment unit 24 includes multiple mounting parts 244. Through the cooperation of the crank 243 and the connecting member 2441, when one vision acquisition device is finely adjusted, the other vision acquisition device can adjust its position. In the length and height direction of the fixed frame 241, the detection areas between two vision detectors located on different connectors 2441 and on the same side of the fixed frame 241 can move closer to or further away from each other, thereby increasing the detection area or focusing on the detection of the corn cob at a predetermined location, thus completing the detection of the moldy area of ​​the corn cob; when the mounting part 244 starts to work, the moving mounting part 244 can make the movable joint 2443 rotate within the movable seat 2444, thereby adjusting the acquisition area of ​​the vision acquisition device, thus completing the data acquisition of the corn cob;

[0063] In a further embodiment, since the connecting member 2441 in the crank 243 is sleeved on the second connecting rod 2432 and the second connecting rod 2432 has a Z-shaped structure, and cooperates with the Z-shaped first rod portion 24421, during the rotation of the crank 243 driven by the rotating motor 242, the crank 243 can drive the two ends of the connecting member 2441 to draw circles, thereby driving the two vision acquisition devices on the same connecting member 2441 to move back and forth intermittently, and can simultaneously change the position of the vision acquisition devices in the height and length directions of the fixed frame 241, while the two devices located on different connecting members 2441 can move back and forth intermittently. The two visual acquisition devices on the same side of the fixed frame 241 operate in opposite directions, so that the detection areas between the two visual detectors can be brought closer or further apart. This allows for adjustment based on the shape of the corn. For example, when the corn cob has an irregular structure, the visual acquisition device on the same side moves closer to the irregular structure to complete the detection of key areas of the irregular corn cob. Conversely, the visual acquisition device on the same side is placed at a predetermined distance to expand the detection area, allowing one side to focus on acquiring multiple sets of data, while the other side can increase detection efficiency.

[0064] The bagging unit 4 includes a first bag-supporting assembly 41, a second bag-supporting assembly 42, a bag-taking assembly 43, a guide assembly 44, and a sealing assembly 45, all respectively mounted on the mounting frame 1. The first bag-supporting assembly 41 includes a base 411 fixedly mounted in the mounting frame 1, two lifting cylinders 412 symmetrically arranged on the base 411, a load seat 416 connected to the output end of the lifting cylinders 412, an intermittent adjustment part 413 arranged on the load seat 416, and a suction nozzle 414 and a guide plate 415 respectively arranged on the intermittent adjustment part 413. The guide plate 415 is located between the two suction nozzles 414. The bag-taking assembly 43 can transport the packaging bag to a predetermined position. The first bag-supporting assembly 41 and the second bag-supporting assembly 42 can open the bag opening, allowing the corn kernels to fall into the packaging bag. The sealing assembly 45 then seals the packaging bag.

[0065] The intermittent adjustment unit 413 includes an intermittent cylinder 4131 movably mounted on the load seat 416, a V-shaped drive rod 4132 connected to the output end of the intermittent cylinder 4131, a movable gear 4133 movably connected to the drive rod 4132 and mounted on the load seat 416, a toothed plate 4134 movably connected to the movable gear 4133, and a movable rod 4135 connected to the toothed plate 4134; the suction nozzle 414 and the guide plate 415 are respectively connected to the movable rod 4135, and the movement of the intermittent cylinder 4131 can cause the suction nozzle 414 or the guide plate 415 on the same intermittent adjustment unit 413 to move closer or further apart; when the first bag support group is needed... When component 41 performs the secondary bag-opening operation, the intermittent cylinder 4131 starts working. The moving intermittent cylinder 4131 can drive the drive rod 4132 to rotate. Since the drive rod 4132 has a V-shaped structure and the intermittent cylinder 4131 is movably connected to the load seat 416, it can drive the movable gear 4133 to rotate. The moving movable gear 4133 can drive the toothed plate 4134 to move intermittently. At the same time, in conjunction with the operation of the lifting cylinder 412, the suction nozzle 414 on the movable rod 4135 can be positioned outside the packaging bag, while the guide plate 415 can be positioned inside the packaging bag, thereby opening the bag opening and completing the bag-opening operation, ensuring that the corn kernels can fall smoothly into the packaging bag.

[0066] The second bag-supporting assembly 42 includes a support platform 421 fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 1, a bag-supporting cylinder 422, a slide block 424, and two slide grooves 429 fixedly connected to the support platform 421, a slider 423 connected to the output end of the bag-supporting cylinder 422, two bearings 425 symmetrically arranged on the slider 423, a push block 428 slidably connected to the slide grooves 429, a slide plate 426 movably connected to the push block 428, a support arm 427 connected to the slide plate 426, a return spring 4212 for connecting the support arm 427, a clamping cylinder 4210 fixedly mounted on the support arm 427, and a bag-clamping finger 4211 connected to the output end of the clamping cylinder 4210; the bearings 425 are located in the slide grooves on the slide plate 426; the slider 423 passes through the slide block 424; when initial bag-supporting work is required, the clamping cylinder... When cylinder 4210 starts working, the moving clamping cylinder 4210 drives the bag clamping fingers 4211 to open and close, thereby clamping the corners of the packaging bag. Then, the bag-opening cylinder 422 starts working, and the moving bag-opening cylinder 422 drives the slider 423 to move. The moving slider 423 drives the bearing 425 to move, so that the bearing 425 can move within the slide plate 426, thereby causing the slide plate 426 to rotate with the push block 428, and thus adjusting the position of the support arm 427. At this time, during the initial bag opening process, the support arm 427 can abut against and squeeze the packaging bag in the height direction. With the cooperation of the bag clamping fingers 4211, the packaging bag is in an open state. As the corn kernels are filled, the bag-opening cylinder 422 moves in the opposite direction, thereby limiting the support arm 427 to the packaging bag containing corn kernels, preventing the packaging bag from deforming too much and resulting in too little corn kernels being filled.

[0067] In a further embodiment, the guiding component 44 includes a lifting cylinder 441 disposed on the mounting frame 1 and a guide frame 442 connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder 441. The guide frame 442 can not only guide the corn kernels so that they can fall into the packaging bag, but also cut off the corn kernels on the guide plate 3, ensuring that there is enough time to remove the bag.

[0068] The sealing assembly 45 includes a support plate 451, a mounting frame 457, and two support frames 453 fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 1; a first drive cylinder 459 fixedly mounted on the support frame 453; a displacement block 454 connected to the output end of the first drive cylinder 459; a heating element 455 disposed on one of the displacement blocks 454; a second drive cylinder 456 fixedly connected to the mounting frame 457; support rods 452 symmetrically disposed on the mounting frame 457; and a pressing block 458 sleeved on the support rods 452 and connected to the output end of the second drive cylinder 456. 2. One end is set on the support plate 451; after the corn kernels are bagged, the second drive cylinder 456 starts to work. The moving second drive cylinder 456 can drive the pressing block 458 to move and squeeze the bag opening. Then the heating element 455 starts to work to seal the bag opening. At this time, one of the first drive cylinders 459 starts to work, so that the displacement block 454 can abut against the bottom of the bag and apply a certain pressure to it, so that it can fall into the predetermined position, thereby completing the shelling and packaging of corn kernels, thus completing the preliminary processing of corn kernels and ensuring the progress of feed production.

[0069] The bag-retrieving assembly 43 includes a bag-placement cabinet 431 fixedly installed on the mounting frame 1, a bag outlet at the bottom of the bag-placement cabinet 431, a rotary motor 432 fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1, a rotary plate 433 connected to the output end of the rotary motor 432, a bag-retrieving cylinder 434 set on the rotary plate 433, a bag-retrieving seat 435 connected to the output end of the bag-retrieving cylinder 434, and a plurality of negative pressure nozzles 436 set on the bag-retrieving seat 435. Through the cooperation of the bag-retrieving cylinder 434 and the rotary motor 432, the bag-retrieving and placement work of the packaging bag can be completed.

[0070] In a further embodiment, the feeding component 21 is prior art and includes at least two belt conveyor mechanisms. The feeding assembly 22 can transport corn cobs from one belt conveyor mechanism to another.

[0071] The rejection unit 6 is existing technology, including but not limited to a robotic arm or cylinder, and a moving block connected to the output end of the cylinder. Through the movement of the cylinder, the corn cob is moved away from the inlet end of the huller 23.

[0072] The feeding seat 226 has multiple grooves on its circumference. By rotating the two feeding seats 226 in opposite directions, the grooves on the two feeding seats 226 can form a chamber for the movement of corn kernels. The movement of the feeding component 22 can provide the corn cob with a transport speed greater than that of the feeding component 21, so that normal corn cobs can move relative to the feeding component 21, and the corn cob can roll across the detection area. For irregularly shaped corn cobs, the movement distance is smaller, and they are rejected with the cooperation of the adjustment unit 24 and the rejection unit 6.

[0073] In a further embodiment, when the packaging bag is positioned at the predetermined feeding position by the bag-taking component 43, the initial bag-holding work can be completed by the cooperation of the support arm 427 and the clamping finger 4211 in the second bag-holding component 42. Then, the lifting cylinder 412 is used to position the suction nozzle 414 and the guide plate 415 at the predetermined position to complete the bag-holding work. By making the packaging bag open, the corn kernels are bagged. After the work is completed, the packaging bag falls between the support plate 451 and the pressing block 458 under its own weight. The pressing block 458 then shapes the packaging bag, and the sealing component 45 completes the sealing work.

[0074] The guide frame 442 in this device consists of two parts, including a rectangular part and a guiding part. By lifting the cylinder 441, the position of the guide frame 442 is changed so that the rectangular part or the guiding part abuts against the discharge end of the guide plate 3, thereby guiding and sealing the corn.

[0075] Working Principle Description: During corn feed production, the operator places corn cobs on the feeding unit 21. The feeding assembly 22 then feeds the corn cobs in an orderly manner, allowing them to roll through the collection area of ​​the vision sensor. As the corn cob passes through the collection area, the adjustment unit 24 adjusts the collection area to collect information about the corn kernels on the cob, completing the data acquisition of the corn kernels. Based on the collected information, corn cobs with mold spots or irregular shapes are further processed. After the removal process is completed, the corn cobs fall into the kernel remover 23, where the kernels are removed. Then, the bag-removing component 43 transports the packaging bags to a designated location to remove them. After bag removal, the first bag-supporting component 41 and the second bag-supporting component 42 open the bag opening, allowing the corn kernels to fall into the bag. The sealing component 45 then seals the bag, completing the corn cob threshing process and ensuring the smooth progress of the initial corn feed processing.
