Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid particle separation technology, specifically to a solid particle separation device for Agastache rugosa compound feed. Background Technology

[0002] Azalea, also known as destroyer grass, is a plant belonging to the genus Azalea in the family Asteraceae. While an invasive species, it contains various nutrients such as flavonoids, terpenoids, eupatorium, and eupatorium-like compounds. These components have excellent preventative and therapeutic effects against livestock diseases such as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) and foot-and-mouth disease. Furthermore, its plant sterilization components effectively enhance animal immunity and have antibacterial and antiviral properties. Therefore, it can be developed and used as a veterinary drug and a high-grade feed additive. Additionally, Azalea contains 18%-25% protein, slightly higher than corn. After detoxification, it can replace some corn in traditional feed, achieving a grass-for-grain approach without the need for planting, only harvesting and purchasing. This offers a significant price advantage compared to corn. Detoxified Azalea is also a good alternative to corn in traditional feed. In the processing of *Eupatorium adenophorum*, it needs to be crushed and dried to produce granular material. Since *Eupatorium adenophorum* is mainly composed of stems, flowers, and leaves, the granules formed after crushing and drying are uneven in size. Moreover, the stems and flowers / leaves have different compositions and moisture content, so the drying time is also different. The stems require a relatively long drying time, while the flowers and leaves require a shorter time. If the stems are dried too quickly, the flowers and leaves will become partially pasty; if the flowers and leaves are dried too quickly, the stems will not be dried sufficiently. Therefore, further processing is required, which affects the production efficiency of *Eupatorium adenophorum* and its quality as feed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a solid particle separation device for Agastache rugosa compound feed, which solves the problems of uneven particle size and cumbersome drying process in the existing Agastache rugosa feed processing.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a solid pellet separation device for purple stem eupatorium compound feed, including a box and a gas dryer, wherein an electric sealing door is provided on the top of the box, and a frustum-shaped partition is provided inside the box, the frustum-shaped partition dividing the interior of the box into an upper processing area and a lower recycling area; The upper processing area is equipped with an upper turntable and a lower fixed plate.

[0006] Preferably, the jet separation mechanism includes several gas nozzles vertically connected to the main air pipe, the gas nozzles being fixedly inserted in the lower fixed plate with their jet ends pointing towards the cylindrical filter cage, the lower end of the exhaust pipe being connected to a connecting pipe, the connecting pipe being connected to the main air pipe, the connecting pipe and the main air pipe being provided with several solenoid valves, several second gas nozzles being connected to the side wall of the exhaust pipe, and the housing being provided with a circulating exhaust mechanism.

[0009] Beneficial effects This invention provides a solid pellet separation device for Agastache rugosa compound feed, which has the following beneficial effects: The crushed *Agastache rugosa* fragments are added to a cylindrical filter cage. Hot air with a certain pressure is introduced into the main air pipe. The hot air is blown into the cylindrical filter cage through gas nozzles and blows the *Agastache rugosa* fragments upwards. The motor drives the upper turntable to rotate via the shaft. The upper turntable drives the cylindrical filter cage and stirring rod to rotate, stirring the *Agastache rugosa* fragments inside. Meanwhile, hot air is also blown from the side into the cylindrical filter cage through the second gas nozzle on the exhaust pipe, simultaneously drying it. During the drying process, the hot and humid gas passes through the branch pipe and the external air... The process involves the discharge pipe. Once the petals and leaves of the *Eupatorium fortunei* fragments inside the cylindrical filter cage are dried into granules, they are first ejected from the filter cage and enter the lower recycling zone through the discharge port below. Then, the stems are dried into granules and also ejected from the filter cage into the lower recycling zone. This process ensures uniform drying of the *Eupatorium fortunei* fragments, resulting in uniformly sized granules. However, larger impurities with poor pulverization will remain inside the filter cage and are eventually discharged through the electric discharge valve for separate recycling.

[0012] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0013] Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides a technical solution: a solid pellet separation device for purple stem eupatorium compound feed, including a box 1 and a gas dryer 18. An electric sealing door 25 is provided on the top of the box 1. A frustum-shaped partition 7 is provided inside the box 1, which divides the interior of the box 1 into an upper processing area and a lower recycling area 9. The upper processing area is provided with an upper turntable 24 and a lower fixed plate 4. The upper turntable 24 and the lower fixed plate 4 are respectively provided with an electric feed valve 29 and an electric discharge valve 30, and a cylindrical filter cage 2 is provided between them. The box body 1 is provided with a rotation control mechanism. The upper processing area is equipped with an exhaust pipe 16 and a main air pipe 12. The main air pipe 12 is provided with a jet separation mechanism. A plurality of discharge ports 8 are provided between the upper processing area and the lower recycling area 9. An opening is provided on the side wall of the lower recycling area 9, and an electric gate 10 is installed in the opening. The gas dryer 18 is an existing and mature device. Its function is to absorb moisture from the humid gas in the external gas pipe 22 so that the gas can be circulated. Its specific structure and usage are conventional technical means and therefore do not need to be described in detail. Opening the electric sealing door 25 and the electric feed valve 29 allows the addition of crushed Agastache rugosa into the cylindrical filter cage 2. Both are electrically controlled and are conventional technologies. The electric discharge valve 30 is used to discharge larger particulate impurities that cannot be filtered by the cylindrical filter cage 2.

[0014] Furthermore, the rotation control mechanism includes a support plate fixedly installed on the housing 1, a motor 27 fixedly installed on the support plate, a coupling on the drive end of the motor 27, a rotating shaft 26 connected to the lower end of the coupling, the rotating shaft 26 being rotatably installed in the upper wall of the housing 1 and its lower end being fixedly connected to the upper turntable 24, a support column 11 fixedly installed on the frustum-shaped partition 7, the upper end of the support column 11 being fixedly connected to the lower fixed plate 4, a bearing being installed on the outer wall of the lower fixed plate 4, a fixing ring 5 being fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the cylindrical filter cage 2, a pair of fixing rings 5 ​​being respectively fitted onto the outer walls of the upper turntable 24 and the bearing, a bracket 28 being provided on the lower wall of the upper turntable 24, and a plurality of stirring rods 3 being vertically connected to the bracket 28.

[0015] Furthermore, the jet separation mechanism includes several gas nozzles 6 vertically connected to the main air pipe 12. The gas nozzles 6 are fixedly inserted into the lower fixed plate 4 and the jet ends are directed towards the cylindrical filter cage 2. The lower end of the exhaust pipe 16 is connected to a connecting pipe 13, which is connected to the main air pipe 12. Several solenoid valves are provided on the connecting pipe 13 and the main air pipe 12. Several second gas nozzles 17 are connected to the side wall of the exhaust pipe 16. The housing 1 is provided with a circulating exhaust mechanism. Several gas nozzles 6 spray hot air with a certain pressure from below to the top, which can blow the purple stem eupatorium fragments upward. As the upper turntable 24 rotates, several stirring rods 3 can stir the floating purple stem eupatorium fragments, which helps the hot air to dry the purple stem eupatorium fragments. The second gas nozzle 17 sprays hot air with a certain pressure from the side onto the cylindrical filter cage 2, which can both dry the floating fragments of Eupatorium fortunei inside and blow off the fragments of Eupatorium fortunei attached to the cylindrical filter cage 2, thus preventing the cylindrical filter cage 2 from clogging.

[0016] Furthermore, the circulating exhaust mechanism includes an external air pipe 22 installed above the housing 1. A pump body 21 is connected to the external air pipe 22 and located above the housing 1. A conduit 19 and several branch pipes 23 are connected to the external air pipe 22. The several branch pipes 23 are connected to the upper processing area. The conduit 19 is connected to the gas dryer 18. The outlet end of the gas dryer 18 is connected to a second conduit 15. The lower end of the second conduit 15 is connected to the main air pipe 12.

[0017] Furthermore, both the external air pipe 22 and the conduit 19 are equipped with a second solenoid valve 20, and the second conduit 15 is equipped with a one-way valve 14. The use of the second solenoid valve 20 on the external air pipe 22 and the conduit 19 is a conventional technical means to control the direct discharge or circulation of hot air. Its operation method is common technical knowledge and therefore does not need to be described in detail.

[0018] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.

[0019] Example: In use, hot air with a certain pressure is first introduced into the main air pipe 12. The hot air enters the exhaust pipe 16 and the gas nozzle 6 through the main air pipe 12. Through the gas nozzle 6 and the second gas nozzle 17, the fragments of *Agastache rugosa* in the cylindrical filter cage 2 are dried simultaneously from below and the side. The gas nozzle 6 at the bottom blows the fragments of *Agastache rugosa* upwards. The motor 27 drives the cylindrical filter cage 2 and the stirring rod 3 to rotate through the rotating shaft and the upper turntable 24, which can stir the fragments of *Agastache rugosa* in the cylindrical filter cage 2. The rotation of the cylindrical filter cage 2... During the process, the material is continuously blown off by hot air from the second gas nozzle 17, which blows the fragments of *Agastache rugosa* attached to the cylindrical filter cage 2. The material continues to be stirred and dried by hot air inside the cylindrical filter cage 2. Finally, the dried particles are thrown out through the cylindrical filter cage 2 and fall into the lower recovery area 9 through the discharge port 8. In this process, the pump body 21 acts as a pump, which discharges the humid gas to the outside through the branch pipe 23 and the external air pipe 22. Alternatively, the gas can be dried by the gas dryer 18 and then circulated into the cylindrical filter cage 2 through the second conduit 15 and the main air pipe 12.
