Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of plant feed production, in particular to a sterilization device for plant feed production. Background Technique

[0002] Plant feed refers to the fresh stems and leaves of plants that can be used as feed, also known as green feed, fresh green feed or green fodder. This type of feed is rich in chlorophyll and is a forage that many animals like to eat, with high nutritional value, including total energy, digestible energy, metabolic energy and digestible crude protein, etc. The use of plant-based feed is of great significance in the breeding industry. They can not only provide rich nutrition, but also meet the needs of different animals through different utilization methods.

[0003] At present, most of the existing sterilization devices for plant feed adopt the heat treatment method to kill bacteria in plant feed by high temperature. However, in actual use, the heating chamber is not heated evenly, resulting in some plant feed not being effectively sterilized, and some plant feed being heated for too long, destroying its nutritional value. Moreover, the existing high-temperature sterilization of plant feed lacks a cooling device, and the heated plant feed needs to wait for natural cooling before the next step of production can be carried out, seriously reducing the production efficiency. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution provided by the utility model is: A sterilization device for plant feed production, including a workbench, above which are provided a temperature controller, a water chiller and a water storage bucket. Above the workbench is provided a heating chamber, above which is provided a feed hopper penetrating the upper wall of the heating chamber. At the tail end of the heating chamber is provided a first motor, and the driving end of the first motor is provided with a first auger conveyor rod penetrating the tail end of the heating chamber. Around the inner wall of the heating chamber are provided heating grooves, and inside the heating grooves are spirally provided heating coils;

[0006] At the head position of the heating chamber is provided a pipeline, and at the end of the pipeline away from the heating chamber is provided a cooling chamber. At the tail end of the cooling chamber is provided a second motor, and the driving end of the second motor is provided with a second auger conveyor rod penetrating the tail end of the cooling chamber. At the bottom of the tail end of the cooling chamber is provided a discharge pipe penetrating the lower wall of the cooling chamber and the workbench. Around the inner wall of the cooling chamber are provided cold water grooves. Between the cold water grooves and the water storage bucket is provided a third water pipe, between the cold water grooves and the water chiller is provided a second water pipe, and between the water chiller and the water storage bucket is provided a first water pipe.

[0007] As an improvement, a plurality of temperature probes are provided inside the heating grooves and the cold water grooves.

[0008] As an improvement, the first auger conveyor rod and the second auger conveyor rod rotate in opposite directions.

[0009] As an improvement, the diameter of the pipeline is smaller than that of the heating bin.

[0010] As an improvement, a conveyor belt is provided below the discharge pipe, and a receiving bucket is provided on the conveyor belt.

[0011] The advantages of the present utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0012] 1. The heating coil surrounds the heating bin, and the first auger conveyor rod in the heating bin is always in a rotating state, so that the plant feed can be fully heated.

[0013] 2.

A third water pipe 19 is provided between the cold water tanks 13 and the water storage bucket 15. A second water pipe 18 is provided between the cold water tanks 13 and the water chiller 14. A first water pipe 17 is provided between the water chiller 14 and the water storage bucket 15. A discharge pipe 20 passing through the lower wall of the cooling bin 16 and the workbench 1 is provided at the bottom of the tail end of the cooling bin 16. A conveyor belt 21 is provided below the discharge pipe 20. A receiving bucket 22 is provided on the conveyor belt 21.

[0024] With the above structure, the water chiller 14 continuously injects cold water into the cold water tanks 13 through the second water pipe 18.
