Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy conservation and environmental protection technology, specifically to an energy-saving and efficiency-enhancing feather treatment device that can recycle clean water. Background Technology
[0002] Feathers are an important by-product of poultry processing. Due to their lightness, fluffiness, and excellent warmth retention, they are widely used in the production of various down products. During the collection and processing of feathers, the collected raw feathers need to be cleaned to remove blood, dust, grease, and other impurities in order to obtain clean feathers that meet the processing requirements.
[0003] Existing feather processing equipment typically consumes a large amount of cleaning water during feather cleaning operations. After each cleaning cycle, wastewater containing impurities is directly discharged from the equipment, failing to recycle water resources and requiring additional wastewater treatment equipment for subsequent processing. This not only increases the water consumption cost of feather cleaning and processing but also increases the overall energy consumption of the process, failing to meet the requirements of energy-saving and environmentally friendly production. Furthermore, existing equipment has low efficiency in separating feathers and wastewater during the cleaning process, which can easily lead to feather loss during drainage, also affecting the overall cleaning and processing efficiency.
[0004] In view of this, we propose an energy-saving and efficiency-enhancing feather treatment device that can recycle clean water to solve the existing problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an energy-saving and efficiency-enhancing feather treatment device that can recycle clean water, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an energy-saving and efficiency-enhancing feather treatment device that can recycle cleaning water, comprising a base plate, a water storage tank fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base plate, side plates symmetrically fixed on the left and right sides of the water storage tank, a treatment tank rotatably installed between the two side plates, and a water pump fixedly installed on the base plate. The processing tank is hollow inside to form a processing cavity, and a top cover is movably installed on the top of the processing tank. The bottom of the processing tank is connected to a drain pipe, and the outlet of the drain pipe is located above the water storage tank. The water storage tank is equipped with a filter tank. The water inlet of the water pump is connected to the inside of the water storage tank, and the water outlet of the water pump extends to the inside of the treatment tank through a pipeline, forming a water circulation path.
[0007] Preferably, a mounting shaft is fixed at the center of the outer wall on both the left and right sides of the treatment tank. The two mounting shafts are rotatably mounted on the side plates on both sides. A motor is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of one side plate. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the mounting shaft on the corresponding side for driving the treatment tank to rotate axially around the mounting shaft.
[0008] Preferably, a partition is fixed inside the processing tank, which divides the interior of the processing tank into a drive chamber and a processing chamber. A drive motor is fixedly installed inside the drive chamber, and the output shaft of the drive motor is driven by a stirring shaft. The stirring shaft rotates through the partition and extends into the processing chamber. Multiple stirring rods are fixed circumferentially on the outer wall of the stirring shaft.
[0009] Preferably, a barrier is fixed to the inner wall of the treatment chamber near the drain pipe. The barrier has multiple water-permeable holes with a diameter smaller than that of a feather, which are used to prevent feathers in the treatment chamber from entering the drain pipe during drainage.
[0010] Preferably, a diversion plate is fixed at the upper opening of the water storage tank. The diversion plate has multiple separation channels and guide channels. The end of the guide channel extends to the top of the filter tank. A barrier net is fixed at the bottom of the separation channel. The aperture of the barrier net is smaller than the size of a feather. It is used to receive the solid-liquid mixture falling from the drain pipe and separate the feathers and wastewater.
[0011] Preferably, the filter tank is detachably installed inside the water storage tank, and the filter tank is filled with multiple layers of filter media for multi-stage filtration of wastewater entering the water storage tank. The filtered clean water is stored at the bottom of the water storage tank.
[0012] Preferably, multiple connecting rods are fixed between the two side plates. The connecting rods are located above the water storage tank to enhance the structural stability of the two side plates. Multiple brackets are fixed to the bottom of the base plate to support the entire device.
[0013] Preferably, the top cover is detachably connected to the treatment tank via a snap-fit structure, and a water inlet is provided at the center of the top cover. The water outlet pipe of the water pump is rotatably connected to the water inlet for conveying cleaning water into the treatment chamber.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention uses a closed-loop water circulation system and a multi-stage filtration structure in the water storage tank to filter the wastewater after feather cleaning. After removing impurities from the wastewater, the clean water can be returned to the treatment tank for reuse. This eliminates the need to replace all the cleaning water in each cleaning cycle, effectively reducing water consumption during feather cleaning and processing, lowering water costs, and avoiding the environmental pressure caused by the direct discharge of large amounts of wastewater, thus meeting energy-saving and environmentally friendly production requirements.
[0015] This invention utilizes a dual-motion design—the overall rotation of the treatment tank and the agitation of the internal stirring rod—to ensure thorough mixing and contact between the feathers and the cleaning water within the treatment chamber, effectively enhancing the cleaning effect on the feathers. Simultaneously, during drainage, the dual blocking action of the internal baffle frame and the baffle mesh at the diversion plate prevents feather loss with the wastewater, reducing material loss during processing and improving overall production efficiency. The detachable filter tank structure also facilitates regular cleaning of accumulated impurities and replacement of filter media, ensuring long-term stable filtration performance and making maintenance more convenient.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0019] like Figures 1-10As shown, an energy-saving and efficiency-enhancing feather processing device that can recycle cleaning water includes a base plate 3, a water storage tank 4 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base plate 3, side plates 2 symmetrically fixed on the left and right sides of the water storage tank 4, a processing tank 1 rotatably installed between the two side plates 2, and a water pump 301 fixedly installed on the base plate 3. The base plate 3 can provide a stable installation foundation for the whole machine, the water storage tank 4 can realize the temporary storage and sedimentation of wastewater, the side plates 2 can provide reliable rotation support for the processing tank 1, the processing tank 1 can serve as the core chamber for feather cleaning operations, and the water pump 301 can provide the power source for water circulation. The components work together to form a stable main frame of the equipment, providing structural support for the subsequent water circulation path and cleaning operations. The processing tank 1 has a hollow interior forming a processing chamber, and a top cover 102 is movably installed on the top of the processing tank 1. The bottom of the processing tank 1 is connected to a drain pipe 103, and the outlet of the drain pipe 103 is located above the water storage tank 4. The processing chamber can provide a closed space for the mixing and contact of feathers and cleaning water. The top cover 102 can realize the convenient opening and closing of the processing tank 1, which is convenient for feeding and picking up feathers. The drain pipe 103 can timely discharge the wastewater that has been cleaned in the processing chamber. In conjunction with the water storage tank 4 below, it can realize the directional flow of wastewater and avoid wastewater overflow and environmental pollution. The water storage tank 4 is equipped with a filter tank 401. The inlet of the water pump 301 is connected to the inside of the water storage tank 4, and the outlet of the water pump 301 extends to the inside of the treatment tank 1 through a pipeline, forming a water circulation path. The filter tank 401 can perform preliminary filtration of the wastewater in the water storage tank 4 to remove large particulate impurities. The water pump 301 can pump the filtered clean water in the water storage tank 4 back to the inside of the treatment tank 1, forming a closed-loop water circulation path with the treatment tank 1 and the water storage tank 4, realizing the multiple recycling of cleaning water and significantly reducing water consumption.
[0020] Furthermore, mounting shafts 101 are fixed at the center of the outer walls on both sides of the treatment tank 1. The two mounting shafts 101 are rotatably mounted on the side plates 2 on both sides. A motor 202 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of one side plate 2. The output shaft of the motor 202 is connected to the mounting shaft 101 on the corresponding side for driving the treatment tank 1 to rotate axially around the mounting shaft 101. The mounting shaft 101 can realize the rotational connection between the treatment tank 1 and the side plate 2, ensuring the coaxiality of the treatment tank 1 during rotation. The motor 202 can provide power for the overall rotation of the treatment tank 1. In conjunction with the internal stirring structure of the treatment tank 1, it can form a double stirring effect, so that the feathers and the cleaning water are fully mixed, improving the cleaning uniformity and cleaning effect.
[0021] Furthermore, a partition 105 is fixed inside the processing tank 1, which divides the interior of the processing tank 1 into a drive chamber and a processing chamber. A drive motor 104 is fixedly installed inside the drive chamber, and the output shaft of the drive motor 104 is driven by a stirring shaft 106. The stirring shaft 106 rotates through the partition 105 and extends into the processing chamber. Multiple stirring rods are fixed circumferentially on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 106. The partition 105 can achieve a sealed separation between the drive chamber and the processing chamber, preventing cleaning water from seeping into the drive chamber and causing a short circuit. The drive motor 104 can provide power for the rotation of the stirring shaft 106. The stirring shaft 106 and the stirring rods can actively agitate the feathers and cleaning water in the processing chamber. In conjunction with the overall rotation of the processing tank 1, the cleaning efficiency can be greatly improved and the cleaning time of a single batch of feathers can be shortened.
[0022] Furthermore, a baffle 107 is fixed to the inner wall of the treatment chamber near the drain pipe 103. The baffle 107 has multiple water-permeable holes with a diameter smaller than that of a feather. This is used to prevent feathers in the treatment chamber from entering the drain pipe 103 during drainage. The baffle 107 can perform the first interception of feathers in the treatment chamber during the drainage stage, preventing feathers from entering the drain pipe 103 with the wastewater and causing pipe blockage. In conjunction with the baffle net 501 at the diversion plate 5, it can form a double interception barrier, effectively preventing feathers from being lost during drainage and reducing material loss.
[0023] Furthermore, a diversion plate 5 is fixed at the upper opening of the water storage tank 4. The diversion plate 5 has multiple separation grooves 502 and guide grooves 503. The end of the guide groove 503 extends to the top of the filter tank 401. A barrier net 501 is fixed at the bottom of the separation groove 502. The aperture of the barrier net 501 is smaller than the size of the feather. It is used to receive the solid-liquid mixture falling from the drain pipe 103 and separate the feathers and wastewater. The separation groove 502 can receive the solid-liquid mixture discharged from the drain pipe 103. The barrier net 501 can perform a second interception on the small amount of feathers flowing out with the wastewater, realizing the initial solid-liquid separation of feathers and wastewater. The guide groove 503 can guide the separated wastewater to the filter tank 401 in a directional manner. In conjunction with the filter tank 401, it can improve the wastewater pretreatment efficiency and reduce the subsequent filtration load.
[0024] Furthermore, the filter tank 401 is detachably installed inside the water storage tank 4. The filter tank 401 is filled with multiple layers of filter media for multi-stage filtration of wastewater entering the water storage tank 4. The filtered clean water is stored at the bottom of the water storage tank 4. The multi-layer filter media can adsorb and filter fine impurities, grease, etc. in the wastewater step by step, ensuring that the water entering the bottom of the water storage tank 4 meets the reuse standard. The detachable design makes it convenient to periodically remove the filter tank 401 to clean impurities and replace the filter media. In conjunction with the water pump 301, it can stably provide a clean water source for cleaning operations, ensuring the filtration effect of long-term operation.
[0025] Furthermore, multiple connecting rods 201 are fixed between the two side plates 2. The connecting rods 201 are located above the water storage tank 4 to enhance the structural stability of the two side plates 2. Multiple brackets 302 are fixed at the bottom of the base plate 3 to support the entire equipment. The connecting rods 201 can enhance the overall structural strength of the two side plates 2 and prevent the side plates 2 from deforming during the rotation of the treatment tank 1. The brackets 302 can raise the height of the whole machine, which facilitates the connection and maintenance of the bottom pipeline. In conjunction with the rotating structure of the treatment tank 1, it can improve the stability of the equipment operation and reduce vibration and noise.
[0026] Furthermore, the top cover 102 is detachably connected to the treatment tank 1 via a snap-fit structure. A water inlet is provided at the center of the top cover 102, and the water outlet pipe of the water pump 301 is rotatably connected to the water inlet to deliver cleaning water into the treatment chamber. The snap-fit connection allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the top cover 102, facilitating the feeding and unloading of feathers. The rotatable connection design maintains the continuity of the water supply pipe during the rotation of the treatment tank 1. In conjunction with the water pump 301, it enables continuous water supply while the treatment tank 1 is rotating, ensuring the continuity of the cleaning operation.
[0027] Working principle: When using this equipment for feather cleaning, first open the top cover 102 of the top of the processing tank 1, put the raw feathers to be cleaned into the processing chamber, then close the top cover 102 again to fix it, and then inject enough initial cleaning water into the water storage tank 4 to start the cleaning operation. After the equipment is started, the drive motor 104 first drives the stirring shaft 106 and the stirring rod to rotate in the processing chamber. Then the motor 202 starts to drive the mounting shaft 101 and the entire processing tank 1 to rotate around the axis. Under the dual action of the stirring rod actively stirring and the overall rotation of the processing tank 1, the feathers and cleaning water in the processing chamber are fully agitated and mixed, so that the blood, dust, grease and other impurities attached to the feathers are fully removed and enter the cleaning water to complete the cleaning process. After cleaning, open the valve of the drain pipe 103 at the bottom of the treatment tank 1. The wastewater containing impurities and a small amount of feathers in the treatment chamber is discharged downward into the diversion plate 5 through the drain pipe 103. At this time, the baffle 107 near the drain pipe 103 in the treatment chamber will achieve the first interception of feathers, blocking most of the feathers in the treatment chamber, allowing only the wastewater and a very small amount of fine feathers to flow out with the water. The solid-liquid mixture falling on the diversion plate 5 will enter the separation tank 502. The baffle net 501 at the bottom of the separation tank 502 will achieve the second interception, receiving and separating the fine feathers. The wastewater will pass through the baffle net 501 and flow into the filter tank 401 in the water storage tank 4 below along the guide channel 503, achieving solid-liquid separation and preventing feathers from flowing into the water storage tank 4 with the wastewater, causing material loss. Wastewater entering the filter tank 401 is filtered through multiple layers of filter media. The fine impurities and residual grease are adsorbed and trapped. The filtered clean water falls into the bottom of the water storage tank 4 for storage. At this time, the water pump 301 starts and pumps the filtered clean water at the bottom of the water storage tank 4 back into the treatment tank 1, so that the next round of cleaning operation can begin. This cycle is repeated continuously, so the cleaning water can be reused. Only a small amount of water resources need to be replenished after multiple cycles, which greatly reduces water consumption. After all cleaning operations are completed, open the top cover 102 of the treatment tank 1. Driven by the motor 202, flip the opening of the treatment tank 1 downwards to directly export the cleaned feathers from the treatment chamber. At the same time, the fine feather fragments intercepted on the separation tank 502 of the diversion plate 5 can also be directly removed and collected, completing the cleaning process for the entire batch of feathers. After the filter tank 401 has been used for a certain period of time, it can be directly removed from the water storage tank 4 to clean the accumulated impurities and replace the filter media. The maintenance operation is convenient and can ensure stable filtration effect for a long time.
