Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery and equipment, in particular to a silage crushing mechanism with adjustable gap. Background Art

[0002] Silage preparation is a crucial process in agriculture and animal husbandry. It involves chopping and kneading fresh crops, such as corn and sorghum, before storing them in an anaerobic environment for fermentation to preserve their nutritional value and extend their shelf life. Traditional silage preparation typically requires pulverizing the crops to facilitate compaction and sealing for storage. This process often relies on manual labor or semi-automatic machinery, resulting in low efficiency and high labor intensity.

[0003] Existing silage grinding mechanisms often use a fixed-gap design. This means that once the equipment is manufactured, the grinding gap cannot be adjusted, limiting its adaptability and flexibility. Different crop types and maturity levels require different particle sizes, and fixed-gap equipment struggles to meet these diverse needs, potentially resulting in suboptimal grinding results and impacting silage quality and livestock digestibility.

[0004] Furthermore, traditional pulverizers often lack effective feed control and precise chopping and kneading mechanisms, leading to uneven material handling, inconsistent particle sizes, and even material blockages. These issues not only reduce production efficiency but also increase energy consumption and equipment wear. Utility Model Content

The second pressing roller and the second supporting roller are arranged side by side up and down. A scraper 207 is installed along the circumference of the second supporting roller at the position corresponding to the second supporting roller in the feeding box for scraping the material off the second supporting roller. In order to ensure the extrusion effect, a pressing plate 208 is evenly installed around the axis on the pre-pressing roller; a pressing plate 209 with an angular cross-section is evenly installed around the axis on the first pressing roller. The roller is evenly equipped with a pressing tooth plate 210 around the axis; the pressing flat plate, the angular pressing plate and the pressing tooth plate are designed according to the different extrusion effects to improve the extrusion effect; the material to be processed is extruded multiple times by reducing the spacing, which reduces the fluffiness of the material and facilitates the subsequent chopping and kneading operations; in addition, in order to improve the feeding effect, the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller are provided with a synchronous adjustment device on the outside, and the synchronous adjustment device includes a synchronous swing arm located at both ends of the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller, wherein one end of the synchronous swing arm is rotatably connected to the pre-pressing roller as a support point, the synchronous swing arm is connected to the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller through a bearing, and the other end of the synchronous swing arm is connected to an adjustment arm, and the middle part of the adjustment arm is rotatably set on the feeding box to adjust One end of the arm is hinged to the end of the synchronous swing arm and is connected to an adjusting screw, and a stop block is provided at the other end of the adjusting arm, and a limit plate is designed on the feeding box corresponding to the position of the stop block, wherein an adjustment hole 211 is opened on the side wall of the feeding box corresponding to the adjustment range of the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller, and the synchronous cross brace is connected to the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller through bearings, wherein the pre-pressing roller, the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller rotate synchronously through a gear set; the synchronous adjustment device can avoid unilateral longitudinal displacement of the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller, thereby changing the feeding gap, wherein the specific adjustment design is as follows: the first support roller and the second support roller are driven by a drive motor and a gear box to achieve the same rotation direction of the first support roller and the second support roller.

[0044] The above-mentioned feeding mechanism design offers the following advantages: 1. Improved feeding uniformity: Through the coordinated action of the pre-pressing roller, the first feed roller pair, and the second feed roller pair, the material is fully pre-pressed and shaped before entering subsequent processing stages.

[0047] The above-mentioned shredding mechanism design offers the following advantages: 1. Improved shredding efficiency: The evenly spaced cutter assemblies on the cutter rollers work together with the fixed cutters on the fixed blade plate to create a shearing action, effectively shredding the material. The cutter assembly design allows the cutters to cut along the tangent line of the cutter roller. This cutting method maximizes the sharpness of the cutters and improves shredding efficiency. 2. Enhanced shredding: By arranging multiple sets of cutter holders side by side and staggering the cutter holders between adjacent cutter holders, the cutters form a more complex shear path during shredding, enhancing the shredding effect. This design promotes more detailed shredding and improves product uniformity and consistency. 3.
