[0026] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0027] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an intelligent feed processing system according to one embodiment of this application. Figure 1As shown, the intelligent feed processing system provided in this application includes a raw material silo 100, a pretreatment device 200, a drying device 300, a cleaning device 400, a weighing device 500, a mixing device 600, and a pelletizing device 700. The system includes a raw material silo 100 for storing feed ingredients, which can selectively supply feed ingredients to the pretreatment device 200 or the cleaning device 400. The pretreatment device 200 receives feed ingredients from the raw material silo 100 and includes a strain introduction module 230 and a temperature and humidity control module. The strain introduction module 230 introduces strains into the feed ingredients, and the temperature and humidity control module regulates the temperature and humidity of the feed ingredients within the pretreatment device 200. A drying device 300 receives materials from the pretreatment device 200 and dries the materials. A cleaning device 400 receives materials from the raw material silo 100 or the drying device 300 and removes impurities. A weighing device 500 receives materials from the cleaning device 400 and weighs them. A mixing device 600 receives materials from the weighing device 500 and mixes them. A pelletizing device 700 receives materials from the mixing device 600 and pellets them.
[0028] It should be understood that since there are multiple types of feed ingredients used for feed processing, the intelligent feed processing system includes multiple raw material bins 100. These multiple raw material bins 100 can be set up independently or can be divided into multiple raw material bins 100 from a single bin. Figure 1 Only two raw material bins 100 are shown in the image. It can be understood that the intelligent feed processing system may include more raw material bins 100.
[0029] Feed ingredients used for processing feed may contain high levels of cellulose, lignin, and anti-nutritional factors, which are difficult to digest and absorb. These types of feed ingredients can be transported to a pretreatment unit 200 for pretreatment. Pretreatment includes fermentation, which degrades cellulose, lignin, and anti-nutritional factors, converting them into materials that are easily digested and absorbed by animals while preserving their nutritional components.
[0030] In this embodiment, a raw material silo 100 has two discharge ports, which can be opened or closed in a controlled manner. The two discharge ports are used to output feed raw materials to the pretreatment device 200 and the cleaning device 400, respectively. Each discharge port can be equipped with a motor and a gate. The motor drives the gate to open or close the discharge port. When the feed raw materials fall out of the discharge port by gravity, the size of the discharge port can be controlled by adjusting the position of the gate, thereby controlling the discharge speed. It should be understood that in this embodiment, the material can be transported between the two devices via a conveyor belt or by gravity to transfer the material to the next device.
[0031] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a preprocessing apparatus 200 in one embodiment of this application; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the inner surface of the pretreatment chamber 210 in one embodiment of this application. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the pretreatment device 200 provided in this embodiment includes a pretreatment chamber 210 for receiving feed ingredients. The pretreatment chamber 210 is the fermentation site for the feed ingredients. Optionally, the inner surface of the pretreatment chamber 210 is provided with a plurality of raised ribs 213, which form a honeycomb structure 212 on the inner side of the pretreatment chamber 210. The honeycomb structure can simulate the inner surface structure of the rumen of ruminants. The rumen is a fermentation site with a strong ability to degrade fibrous materials. Therefore, the pretreatment chamber 210 with a rumen-mimicking structure can achieve better fermentation effect through a larger inner surface area.
[0032] Optionally, the pore diameter of the honeycomb structure 212 is 1-5cm and the pore depth is 1-5cm; in this embodiment, the pore depth of the honeycomb structure 212 is the height of the rib 213.
[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the pretreatment chamber 210 has an opening and a door 211 for opening or sealing the opening. In this embodiment, the door 211 can be opened and closed by flipping or sliding, and the pretreatment chamber 210 can be sealed when the door 211 is closed. In this embodiment, the pretreatment device 200 also includes an expansion heating module 260 disposed in the pretreatment chamber 210. The expansion heating module 260 is used to raise the temperature inside the pretreatment chamber 210 to the expansion temperature (e.g., 110~170°C) and create high pressure in the pretreatment chamber 210. When the high pressure is released (e.g., by opening the door 211) and heating is stopped, the starch-containing material can rapidly expand to achieve expansion treatment. Optionally, the expansion heating module 260 includes an electric heater.
[0034] As can be seen, the pretreatment device in this application embodiment can implement mainstream pretreatment methods including fermentation and puffing, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.
[0035] In this embodiment, the pretreatment device 200 further includes a support 220 and a flipping vibration assembly. The flipping vibration assembly is used to flip and vibrate the pretreatment chamber 210. The flipping vibration assembly includes a flipping drive motor 221 and a vibration module (not shown in the figure). The flipping drive motor 221 can drive the pretreatment chamber 210 to rotate relative to the support 220. When the pretreatment chamber 210 rotates, the bacterial strains and feed ingredients inside can be mixed more evenly, which is beneficial for uniform fermentation. Furthermore, when the flipping drive motor 221 flips the opening of the pretreatment chamber 210 downwards, the chamber door 211 can be opened, allowing the material to fall out of the pretreatment chamber 210 and enter the next stage.
[0036] The vibration module is used to cause the pretreatment chamber 210 to vibrate. It is understood that when the inner surface of the pretreatment chamber 210 has a honeycomb structure 212, material is easily trapped in the pores. By using the vibration module to drive the pretreatment chamber 210 to vibrate, it is beneficial for the material to detach from the inner wall of the pretreatment chamber 210. The vibration module can be integrated onto the motor or the bracket 220; alternatively, the vibration module can be set independently, and the vibration module includes a pendulum that can be driven to strike the outer side of the pretreatment chamber 210, thereby causing the pretreatment chamber 210 to vibrate.
[0037] In this embodiment, the strain delivery module 230 includes multiple strain containers for storing different types of strains, each strain container having a delivery port for controlling the delivery amount. The strain delivery module 230 is positioned above the pretreatment chamber 210 and can deliver the required strains into the pretreatment chamber 210 through the opening of the pretreatment chamber 210.
[0038] In this embodiment, the temperature and humidity control module includes a temperature sensor 222, a humidity sensor 223, and a temperature control component 224. The temperature sensor 222 detects the temperature inside the pretreatment chamber 210, and the humidity sensor 223 detects the humidity inside the pretreatment chamber 210. The temperature control component 224 can be used to adjust the temperature inside the pretreatment chamber 210. The temperature control component 224 can be a heat pump structure, including a compressor, a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, a reversing valve, and an expansion valve. The first heat exchanger is connected to the pretreatment chamber 210. The reversing valve switches the refrigerant flow direction to control whether the first heat exchanger absorbs heat (cooling) or releases heat (heating), thereby adjusting the temperature of the pretreatment chamber 210. The specific principle of the heat pump structure can be referenced in the case of a split-type air conditioner. In this embodiment, the temperature and humidity control module may also include a humidifier (not shown in the figure). When the humidity sensor 223 detects insufficient humidity, the humidifier can be activated to increase the humidity.
[0039] Optionally, the pretreatment device 200 further includes a pH adjustment module for adjusting the pH value of the material in the pretreatment device 200. Specifically, the pH adjustment module may include a pH meter 241 and an acid-base dispensing component 240. The pH meter 241 is located at the bottom of the pretreatment chamber 210 and is used to detect the pH value of the material. The acid-base dispensing component 240 is located outside the pretreatment chamber 210 and can controllably add acidic substances (such as hydrochloric acid) or alkaline substances (such as baking soda) to the pretreatment chamber 210. The specific structure of the acid-base dispensing component 240 may be the same as that of the strain dispensing module 230, and will not be described in detail here.
[0040] Furthermore, the pretreatment device 200 also includes a sterilization module 250. The sterilization module 250 is used to kill harmful or unwanted bacteria in the material after fermentation is complete. It is understood that once the optimal fermentation level is reached, continued excessive fermentation can easily lead to nutrient loss; therefore, it is necessary to control the fermentation level. The sterilization module 250 effectively controls the fermentation level by killing bacteria and stopping fermentation; it can also kill some harmful bacteria, ensuring feed safety. The sterilization module 250 can be an ultraviolet sterilization module 250 or a cold plasma sterilization module 250.
[0041] After fermentation is complete, the material can enter the drying device 300 for drying. The drying device 300 may include a cylinder and an electric heating structure arranged on the cylinder to dry the material by electric heating.
[0042] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the magnetic cylinder 410 of the cleaning device 400 in one embodiment of this application. Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the cleaning device 400 is located downstream of the drying device 300. The cleaning device 400 includes a magnetic cylinder 410, which has multiple channels 420 arranged in an array. The magnetic cylinder 410 can magnetically adsorb adsorbable impurities in the material onto the inner wall of the channels 420. The magnetic cylinder 410 is made of a magnetically conductive metal, such as iron. The magnetic cylinder 410 can be connected to an electromagnet, and when the electromagnet is turned on, the magnetic cylinder 410 becomes magnetic. When the material passes through the multiple channels 420, the ferromagnetic impurities inside (such as iron nails and iron slag) can be adsorbed onto the inner wall of the magnetic cylinder 410, thereby improving the cleanliness of the material. By dividing the magnetic cylinder 410 into multiple channels 420, the inner surface area can be effectively increased, thereby increasing the adsorption area and improving the cleaning efficiency.
[0043] The weighing device 500 can be used to weigh a certain amount of material and convey it to the subsequent mixing device 600. Different materials are mixed according to a certain ratio and then conveyed to the pelleting device 700 to prepare pelleted feed of a certain particle size. The structure and principle of the weighing device 500, the mixing device 600 and the pelleting device 700 can refer to the existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.
[0044] This application also provides a feed processing method using the intelligent feed processing system provided in the above embodiments. The feed processing method includes the following steps: In step S100, if it is necessary to pre-treat the feed raw materials in the raw material silo 100, the feed raw materials in the raw material silo 100 are transported to the pre-treatment device 200.
[0045] For example, if the feed ingredients contain a large amount of cellulose, lignin, and anti-nutritional factors, the feed ingredients can be transported to the pretreatment device 200. If the feed ingredients are easily digestible and absorbable materials that do not require fermentation or degradation, they can be directly transported to the cleaning device 400.
[0046] In step S200, based on the type and amount of feed raw materials in the pretreatment device 200, the strain delivery module 230 is controlled to deliver strains to the feed raw materials, and the temperature and humidity control module is controlled to adjust the temperature and humidity so that the feed raw materials in the pretreatment device 200 can ferment. The fermented material is then transported to the drying device 300.
[0047] In this embodiment, the type and amount of bacterial strains added depend on the type and amount of feed ingredients, thereby ensuring optimal fermentation results. During fermentation, the temperature and humidity control module can monitor and automatically adjust the temperature and humidity. For example, when the thermometer detects that the temperature in the pretreatment chamber 210 is lower than the target temperature range, the temperature control component 224 automatically heats the pretreatment chamber 210; when the hygrometer detects insufficient humidity, the humidifier can automatically replenish water.
[0048] Furthermore, the pH value can be adjusted via the pH adjustment module in the pretreatment device 200. For example, if the pH meter 241 detects that the pH value is too low, the acid-base dispensing component 240 can be controlled to add baking soda to the material; if the pH meter 241 detects that the pH value is too high, the acid-base dispensing component 240 can be controlled to add hydrochloric acid to the material. Therefore, it is possible to ensure that the material has a better pH value, thereby creating better fermentation conditions.
[0049] Furthermore, after the feed ingredients in the pretreatment unit 200 have undergone fermentation, cellulose, lignin, and anti-nutritional factors are degraded into easily digestible and absorbable materials. Afterward, the fermented materials are sterilized to eliminate excess strains and harmful bacteria. For example, sterilization can be performed by irradiating the materials with ultraviolet light through the sterilization module 250; or by low-temperature plasma sterilization.
[0050] In the pretreatment step, in addition to fermenting the material using the pretreatment device 200, the material is also puffed. For example, the temperature is raised to 110-170℃ (specifically, above 130℃) using the puffing heating module 260, creating a high-temperature and high-pressure environment inside the pretreatment chamber 210. After the high pressure and heating are released, the starch-containing material can expand rapidly. Puffing can disrupt the cell structure of the material, promote starch gelatinization and protein denaturation, improve starch digestibility, and enhance palatability. The high temperature during puffing can kill harmful microorganisms (such as E. coli, mold, etc.), reducing the probability of intestinal infection in farmed animals. In the embodiments of this application, puffing can be performed after fermentation or separately (puffing can be performed directly without fermentation).
[0051] When the material is sent out of the pretreatment chamber 210, the pretreatment chamber 210 can be flipped using the flipping vibration assembly, the chamber door 211 of the pretreatment chamber 210 can be opened, and then the pretreatment chamber 210 can be vibrated so that the material in the honeycomb structure 212 can be desorbed.
[0052] In step S300, the drying device 300 is controlled to dry the material and the dried material is then conveyed to the cleaning device 400.
[0053] In this embodiment, since the fermented material has a high moisture content, it needs to be dried before cleaning and weighing.
[0054] In step S400, the cleaning device 400 is controlled to clean impurities from the material and the cleaned material is then conveyed to the weighing device 500.
[0055] In this embodiment, the cleanliness of the feed can be improved by magnetically adsorbing ferromagnetic impurities in the material through the magnetic cylinder 410.
[0056] In step S500, the weighing device 500 is controlled to weigh the material and the set amount of material is transported to the mixing device 600.
[0057] In step S600, the mixing device 600 is controlled to mix the materials from different weighing devices 500 and the mixed materials are conveyed to the granulation device 700.
[0058] In step S700, the granulation device 700 is controlled to prepare the material into granules.
[0059] The final product is pelleted feed, which can then be weighed and packaged.
[0060] In summary, the intelligent feed processing system provided in this application includes a raw material silo 100, a pretreatment device 200, a drying device 300, a cleaning device 400, a weighing device 500, a mixing device 600, and a pelletizing device 700. The raw material silo 100 is used to store feed raw materials and can selectively convey feed raw materials to the pretreatment device 200 or the cleaning device 400. The pretreatment device 200 can receive feed raw materials from the raw material silo 100 and includes a strain introduction module 230 and a temperature and humidity control module. The strain introduction module 230 is used to introduce strains into the feed raw materials, and the temperature and humidity control module is used to regulate the temperature and humidity of the feed raw materials in the pretreatment device 200. The drying device 300 can receive materials from the pretreatment device 200 and is used to dry the materials. The cleaning device 400 can receive materials from the raw material silo 100 or the drying device 300 and is used to remove impurities. The weighing device 500 can receive materials from the cleaning device 400 and weigh the materials. The mixing device 600 can receive materials from the weighing device 500 and mix the materials. The pelleting device 700 can receive materials from the mixing device 600 and prepare the materials into pellets. This embodiment incorporates a pretreatment device 200, which pre-treats poorly digestible feed ingredients. Specifically, it ferments the feed ingredients by introducing bacterial strains and controlling temperature and humidity, allowing cellulose, lignin, and anti-nutritional factors that are difficult for animals to digest and absorb to be degraded into easily digestible materials while retaining the main nutrients. This eliminates the need for manual pre-treatment of feed ingredients, thus enabling this intelligent feed processing system to specifically improve feed absorbability and offering high processing efficiency.
[0061] This application provides a feed processing method using the aforementioned intelligent feed processing system. By using a pretreatment device 200 to ferment poorly digestible feed ingredients, substances such as cellulose, lignin, and anti-nutritional factors that are difficult for animals to digest and absorb can be degraded into easily digestible materials while retaining the main nutrients. Feed ingredients that do not require pretreatment (such as easily digestible powders) can directly enter the subsequent cleaning device 400. Therefore, the feed processing system can specifically improve the absorbability of feed and ensure high processing efficiency.
[0062] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
