Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of feed processing technology, and in particular to a cooling device for granular feed with dehumidification capabilities. Background Technology

[0002] Grain amaranth is an annual herbaceous plant that serves as both grain, feed, and vegetable. It is high in nutrients such as protein and minerals, and is drought-resistant, salt-tolerant, and highly regenerative. Its stems, leaves, and seeds are all excellent sources of pig feed. However, grain amaranth plants have a high water content. If the dehumidification and cooling processes are not properly handled after processing into pig feed pellets, the feed is prone to mold growth, affecting storage and quality.

[0003] Traditional feed cooling equipment has some limitations when processing amaranth pellets for pig feed. For example, some cooling equipment relies solely on air cooling, resulting in low cooling efficiency and difficulty in quickly reducing the temperature and humidity of the feed pellets; some equipment has an unreasonable structural design, leading to a short residence time of the feed during the cooling process, insufficient contact with the cooling medium, and unsatisfactory dehumidification and cooling effects; and some equipment lacks effective dehumidification functions, failing to meet the dryness requirements of amaranth pellets for pig feed.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a pellet feed cooling device with dehumidification capability to meet the demand. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a granular feed cooling device with dehumidification capability to solve the problem that existing feed cooling devices are unable to quickly reduce the temperature of the granules and have an insignificant dehumidification and cooling effect.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A granular feed cooling device with dehumidification capability includes a base, a feeding mechanism at the upper end of the base, a rotating dehumidification mechanism through the top of the feeding mechanism, reinforcing ribs fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the rotating dehumidification mechanism, a ventilation mechanism installed on one side of the rotating dehumidification mechanism, and a top cover installed on the top of the rotating dehumidification mechanism.

[0008] The rotary dehumidification mechanism includes a servo motor, a rotating shaft, spiral blades, a cylindrical outer shell, a cylindrical inner shell, through holes, a feed bin, a feed pipe, a discharge pipe, and a solenoid valve. The cylindrical outer shell is welded to the top of the four reinforcing ribs. The cylindrical inner shell is embedded in the inner cavity of the cylindrical outer shell. Several vertically distributed through holes are formed on the surface of the cylindrical inner shell. A servo motor is mounted on the top cover. The output end of the servo motor passes through the surface of the top cover via a coupling and extends to form a rotating shaft. Spiral blades are arranged around the outer wall of the rotating shaft and are located within the inner cavity of the cylindrical inner shell. The cylindrical outer shell and the cylindrical inner shell share a common mounting hole for connecting the feed pipe on one side. The top of the feed pipe extends into the inner cavity of the cylindrical inner shell, and a feed bin is provided at the other end of the feed pipe. A discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the cylindrical inner shell, and a solenoid valve is installed on the outer wall of the discharge pipe.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the top cover is provided with a limiting hole for connecting the rotating shaft, and a heat-insulating chamber is formed between the outer shell and the inner shell of the cylinder.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, temperature sensors and humidity sensors are respectively installed on the side walls of the heat-insulating chamber.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding box, a first cooling fan, a feeding channel, a collecting frame, a handle, and a limiting strip. The feeding box is located at the bottom of the outer shell of the cylinder. The inner cavity of the feeding box is provided with staggered feeding channels, which are connected to the discharge pipe. The first cooling fan is installed on one side of the feeding box. The collecting frame is slidably arranged in the inner cavity of the feeding box. Limiting strips are provided on both side walls of the collecting frame. A handle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the collecting frame. The feeding channel is connected to the collecting frame.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the inner cavity of the feeding box is provided with a limiting groove for matching the two limiting strips, and the output end of the first cooling fan is connected to the input end of the feeding channel.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the ventilation mechanism includes a second cooling fan, a mounting base, a hose, a filter box, an air inlet pipe, and an air outlet pipe. The mounting base is bolted to one side wall of the material box, and the second cooling fan is mounted on the mounting base. The air inlet of the second cooling fan is connected to a hose, and the output end of the second cooling fan is connected to an air outlet pipe. The filter box is bolted to the side wall of the material box, and an air inlet pipe is provided at the opening of the filter box. The bottom of the hose connects to the inner cavity of the filter box.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the inner cavity of the filter box is connected to a non-woven fabric filter element and a movable carbon filter element, and the outer wall of the filter box is provided with a sealing plate, and the sealing plate has a threaded hole for the threaded connection of the adjusting bolt.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, a controller is installed on the surface of the feeding box. The output terminal of the controller is electrically connected to the input terminals of the first cooling fan, the second cooling fan, the servo motor, and the solenoid valve. The output terminal of the controller is also connected to the signal terminals of the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. In the above scheme, the spiral blades on the output end can be driven by the servo motor to feed the feed in a spiral manner. The second cooling fan can introduce airflow from the external environment to control the temperature of the pelleted feed. The insulated chamber and the through holes on the inner shell of the cylinder can introduce airflow into each layer of spiral blades, which can quickly reduce the temperature and humidity of the feed. The through holes are arranged vertically to inject the same amount of air into the flow cavity formed between the inner shell of the cylinder and the spiral blades, which can meet the dryness requirements of amaranth pellets for pig feed.

[0018] 2. In the above scheme, the filter box can form a multi-layer filtration by using the internal non-woven fabric filter element and activated carbon filter element, so that fine particulate impurities in the air can be adsorbed and treated. The sealing plate and adjusting bolts make it easy to disassemble the filter box and replace the non-woven fabric filter element and activated carbon filter element.

[0019] 3. In the above scheme, the first cooling fan can dehumidify and cool the already processed pig feed grains and amaranth pellets again by using the staggered feeding channels in the feeding box, which can greatly improve the dehumidification and cooling effect of the equipment and meet the requirements.

[0034] Example

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a granular feed cooling device with dehumidification capability, including a base 1, a feeding mechanism 2 is provided on the upper end of the base 1, a rotary dehumidification mechanism 4 is provided through the top of the feeding mechanism 2, reinforcing ribs 3 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the rotary dehumidification mechanism 4, a ventilation mechanism 5 is installed on one side of the rotary dehumidification mechanism 4, and a top cover 6 is installed on the top of the rotary dehumidification mechanism 4. Threaded holes for connecting fixing bolts 7 are opened on both sides of the top of the top cover 6.

[0036] The rotary dehumidification mechanism 4 includes a servo motor 408, a rotating shaft 411, spiral blades 412, a cylindrical outer shell 401, a cylindrical inner shell 402, through holes 403, a feed bin 410, a feed pipe 409, a discharge pipe 406, and a solenoid valve 407. The cylindrical outer shell 401 is welded to the top of four reinforcing ribs 3. The cylindrical inner shell 402 is embedded in the inner cavity of the cylindrical outer shell 401. Several vertically distributed through holes 403 are formed on the surface of the cylindrical inner shell 402. The servo motor 408 is mounted on the top cover 6. The output end of the servo motor 408 passes through the surface of the top cover 6 via a coupling and extends to form a rotating shaft 411. Spiral blades 412 are arranged around the outer wall of the rotating shaft 411. The rotary blade 412 is located inside the inner shell 402 of the cylinder. The outer shell 401 and the inner shell 402 of the cylinder have a common mounting hole for connecting the feed pipe 409. The top of the feed pipe 409 extends into the inner shell 402 of the cylinder. The other end of the feed pipe 409 is provided with a feed chamber 410. The bottom of the inner shell 402 of the cylinder is connected to a discharge pipe 406. The outer wall of the discharge pipe 406 is provided with a solenoid valve 407. The top cover 6 has a limiting hole for connecting the rotating shaft 411. A heat preservation chamber 413 is formed between the outer shell 401 and the inner shell 402 of the cylinder. A temperature sensor 404 and a humidity sensor 405 are respectively provided on the side wall of the heat preservation chamber 413.

[0037] Further explanation is needed: Driven by the servo motor 408, the output shaft 411 is driven by the coupling, thereby enabling the relative rotation of the spiral blades 412 on the outer wall of the shaft 411. The outer shell 401 and the inner shell 402 of the cylinder form an insulated chamber 413, which can easily introduce external air sources for air cooling. Several through holes 403 can connect the interior of the inner shell 402. After the pelleted feed is introduced through the feed bin 410 and the feed pipe 409, it is convenient to realize the feeding process on the spiral blades 412. The temperature sensor 404 and humidity sensor 405 are set to monitor the temperature and humidity changes of the feed pellets in real time during the cooling process and automatically adjust the operating status of the cooling equipment according to the set parameters.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the ventilation mechanism 5 includes a second cooling fan 501, a mounting base 502, a hose 504, a filter box 505, an air inlet pipe 506, and an air outlet pipe 503. The mounting base 502 is bolted to one side wall of the feeding box 201. The second cooling fan 501 is mounted on the mounting base 502. The air inlet end of the second cooling fan 501 is connected to the hose 504, and the output end of the second cooling fan 501 is connected to the air outlet pipe 503. The filter box 505 is bolted to the side wall of the feeding box 201. The air inlet pipe 506 is provided at the opening of the filter box 505. The bottom of the hose 504 is connected to the inner cavity of the filter box 505. The inner cavity of the filter box 505 is connected to a non-woven filter element 509 and an activated carbon filter element 510, respectively. The outer wall of the filter box 505 is provided with a sealing plate 507. The sealing plate 507 has a threaded hole for the threaded connection of the adjusting bolt 508.

[0039] Further explanation is needed: the air inlet duct 506 introduces air from the external environment, which then passes through the filter box 505. The non-woven fabric filter element 509 and activated carbon filter element 510 adsorb air impurities and fine particles. The sealing plate 507 and adjusting bolt 508 facilitate the installation and removal of the sealing plate 507. The second cooling fan 501 cools the air before it passes through the air outlet duct 503 for air discharge. The mounting base 502 allows for the installation of the second cooling fan 501.

[0040] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a feeding box 201, a first cooling fan 203, a feeding channel 207, a collecting frame 204, a handle 206, and a limiting strip 205. The feeding box 201 is located at the bottom of the outer shell 401. The inner cavity of the feeding box 201 is provided with staggered feeding channels 207, which are connected to the discharge pipe 406. The first cooling fan 203 is installed on one side of the feeding box 201. The collecting frame 204 is slidably arranged within the inner cavity of the feeding box 201. Limiting strips 205 are provided on both side walls of the collecting frame 204. The outer wall of the collecting frame 204 is fixedly connected to... The handle 206, the feeding channel 207 and the collection frame 204 are connected; the inner cavity of the feeding box 201 is provided with a limiting groove for matching two limiting strips 205; the output end of the first cooling fan 203 is connected to the input end of the feeding channel 207; a controller 202 is installed on the surface of the feeding box 201; the output end of the controller 202 is electrically connected to the input end of the first cooling fan 203, the second cooling fan 501, the servo motor 408 and the solenoid valve 407; the output end of the controller 202 is connected to the signal end of the temperature sensor 404 and the humidity sensor 405.

[0041] Further explanation is needed: After the feeding box 201 is connected to the top discharge pipe 406, the material can be fed through the discharge pipe 406 and flow into the feeding channel 207. The feeding channel 207 has a spiral flow. The output end of the externally installed first cooling fan 203 is connected to the inside of the feeding channel 207. The material is collected through the bottom collection frame 204. The setting limit strip 205 can improve the stability of the device structure.

[0042] The technical solution provided by this invention utilizes the feeding hopper 410 to facilitate the input of amaranth grains for pig feed. The feed enters the inner shell 402 of the cylinder through the feeding pipe 409. Turning on the controller 202 activates the servo motor 408, which, driven by the electric spindle, rotates the output shaft 411. The spiral blades 412, in conjunction with the design, facilitate the feeding process. The second cooling fan 501 introduces air from the external environment, filters it through the filter box 505, and then flows through the outlet pipe 503 into the insulation chamber 413. After passing through several... The through hole 403 allows air cooling to be introduced into the inner cavity of the inner shell 402 of the cylinder, achieving a dehumidification and cooling process for the raw material. In conjunction with the discharge pipe 406 and the solenoid valve 407, the discharge process can be automatically controlled. The reinforcing ribs 3 at the bottom can improve the stability of the device structure. The raw material will further flow into the lower feeding box 201. The feeding box 201 has a spiral feeding channel 207 inside, which can work with the external first cooling fan 203 to achieve a further cooling and dehumidification process. Finally, the raw material will fall into the collection frame 204, and the raw material can be pulled out by the handle 206 to complete the operation.
