Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of extrusion puffing equipment, specifically relating to an extrusion puffing discharge device. Background Technology

[0002] As the global livestock industry transforms towards intensification, standardization, and sustainable development, traditional feed processing technologies are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of modern farming.

[0003] Technical bottlenecks in shrimp feed production: 1. Insufficient stability in water: Shrimp feed produced by traditional ring die pellet mills usually has a water stability of less than 2 hours. The feed dissolves rapidly in water, resulting in low feed utilization (less than 80%), severe eutrophication of water bodies, and easy intestinal diseases in shrimp.

[0004] 2. Low degree of maturation and digestibility: Conventional steam conditioning has low temperature (usually ≤85℃) and short time, starch gelatinization degree is generally below 35%, protein denaturation is insufficient, and anti-nutritional factors remain high, which limits the growth performance of shrimp.

[0005] Poor formulation flexibility: It is difficult to handle shrimp feed formulations with high protein and low starch, and the limited amount of liquid added restricts the optimization of nutritional formulations.

[0006] Technical bottlenecks in poultry feed production: 1. Health and safety hazards: The conditioning temperature and pressure of traditional pelleting processes are insufficient to effectively inactivate pathogenic microorganisms such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli, posing a continuous threat to the health of breeding poultry and chicks.

[0007] 2. Low raw material utilization efficiency: Faced with the increasing number of unconventional raw materials (such as miscellaneous meals, DDGS, etc.), traditional processes are unable to destroy their fiber structure and anti-nutritional factors, resulting in poor pelleting effect and low feed conversion rate.

[0008] 3. Outdated process precision control: Existing equipment lacks dynamic and precise closed-loop control of key parameters, resulting in large fluctuations in product quality and persistently high energy consumption.

[0009] In recent years, with continuous breakthroughs in biotechnology and the ever-increasing demands for feed quality from intensive farming, animal feed research and development has increasingly focused on precise nutrition, high-efficiency utilization, and environmental friendliness. In the field of aquaculture and livestock feed, particularly targeting the unique physiological structure and feeding habits of shrimp and waterfowl, a series of targeted technological innovations have emerged, mainly including: The in-depth application of pre-digestion technology: Through enzyme engineering and bio-fermentation, macromolecules such as proteins and starches in feed ingredients are pre-treated in vitro, breaking them down into more easily absorbed small peptides and oligosaccharides. This technology not only significantly improves feed conversion rate and animal digestibility and absorption efficiency, but also effectively reduces the pollution of water bodies or the environment by undigested products, aligning with the development direction of green and healthy aquaculture.

[0010] In the field of aquatic and livestock feed processing, especially in the production of shrimp and duck feed, which have extremely high technical requirements, traditional feed processing technologies (such as conventional conditioning and pelleting) are facing increasingly severe challenges and bottlenecks. With the rapid transformation of shrimp farming and waterfowl farming towards intensification, large-scale production, and ecological practices, the market has set unprecedentedly high standards for the quality, efficiency, and functionality of feed products.

[0011] The pressure inside the puffing chamber is a key factor determining the quality of shrimp and poultry feed products, but existing pressure regulating devices are inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The purpose of this invention is to provide an extrusion puffing discharge device to solve the technical problem of inconvenient pressure adjustment in existing extrusion puffing discharge devices.

[0013] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an extrusion discharge device, characterized in that it includes: A screw assembly includes a main shaft and an adjusting screw disposed on the main shaft; a first adjusting cone surface is disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the adjusting screw; The mounting cavity is used to connect the puffing cavity and the moving cavity drive assembly; A connecting cavity is connected to the mounting cavity and located on the discharge side of the mounting cavity; A movable cavity is located between the mounting cavity and the connecting cavity. Both ends of the movable cavity are respectively fitted into the mounting cavity and the connecting cavity. A second adjusting cone surface is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the movable cavity, and a material channel is formed between the second adjusting cone surface and the first adjusting cone surface. The moving cavity driving assembly drives the moving cavity to move axially relative to the mounting cavity and the connecting cavity, and the second adjusting cone surface moves axially relative to the first adjusting cone surface, thereby changing the area of ​​the material channel and realizing the pressure adjustment of the puffing cavity.

[0014] The change in axial displacement of the moving cavity causes a change in the distance between the second and first adjusting cone surfaces, thereby affecting the size of the material flow channel. When the channel narrows, the material flow resistance increases, leading to an increase in pressure inside the expansion cavity; conversely, when the channel widens, the pressure decreases, thus achieving direct and linear control of the cavity pressure through mechanical displacement.

[0015] To address the technical challenge of determining the distance between the mounting cavity and the connecting cavity, this invention employs the following technical solution: the distance between the mounting cavity and the connecting cavity is positioned using a positioning sleeve.

During feed production and processing, the pressure and temperature values ​​in the control mechanism 600 are monitored and displayed in real time. Because the moving cavity drive assembly 340 contains a displacement sensor, the moving cavity 320 in the pressure regulating mechanism 300 can be adjusted within the control mechanism 600. Changes in the axial displacement of the moving cavity 320 alter the distance between the second adjusting cone surface 322 and the first adjusting cone surface 531, thereby affecting the size of the material flow channel 360. When the channel narrows, the material flow resistance increases, leading to a rise in pressure within the expansion cavity; conversely, a wider channel reduces pressure. This achieves direct and linear control of the cavity pressure through mechanical displacement.

[0073] This invention, through an integrated and intelligent design, constructs a compact, precisely controlled, and reliable extrusion discharge mechanism. It can flexibly adapt to the production process requirements of shrimp and waterfowl feed. By precisely controlling the pressure and temperature during the extrusion process, and supplemented by efficient terminal crushing, it ultimately improves feed quality (such as water stability and digestibility) while ensuring the continuity and stability of production. It is particularly suitable for modern aquatic and livestock feed extrusion pelleting production.

[0074] This invention, an extrusion discharge device, integrates mechanical engineering, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and intelligent control technologies. It focuses on using the principles of high temperature, high pressure, and high shear to condition, cook, expand, and crush feed ingredients to produce specialty feeds with high digestibility, high water stability, and high biological safety.

[0075] This invention, an extrusion feeding device, incorporates the latest scientific research findings and development trends, aiming to provide a more scientific and rational solution for shrimp and waterfowl feed aquaculture. By integrating pre-digestion technology with advanced pelleting processes, this solution is expected to further upgrade the aquatic feed industry and contribute to promoting sustainable shrimp and waterfowl feed aquaculture.
