Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of feed detection, in particular to a feed moisture measuring device. Background Art

[0002] The moisture content of feed directly affects feed quality and storage conditions. For example, in pig feed, too much moisture can cause feed deterioration, while too little moisture can affect animal digestion and absorption. Therefore, accurately measuring the moisture content of pig feed is a key step in pig feed production and quality control.

[0003] There are mainly the following traditional methods for determining moisture in pig feed: 1. Drying method, which involves placing the sample in an oven at a certain temperature to evaporate the internal moisture, and then calculating the moisture content based on the weight change. However, this method is currently time-consuming and requires frequent monitoring; 2. Infrared rapid determination method, which uses infrared heating to accelerate the evaporation process. Compared with traditional drying methods, it is faster, but the measurement results may be unstable due to uneven heating; 3. Microwave method, which uses microwave heating to quickly evaporate moisture. This method is suitable for situations where rapid moisture content determination is required, but there is also the problem of uneven heating; 4. Chemical methods, such as the Karl Fischer method, which directly determine moisture content through chemical reactions. Although it is highly accurate, the operation is complex and the cost is high.

[0004] To this end, we provide a feed moisture measuring device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the tank body is located at the upper portion of the panel opening, and the tank body is a double-layer structure, with the inner layer and the outer layer being separated to form a heating chamber.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] See also Figure 1-5 The present invention is a feed moisture measuring device, comprising a machine platform 1, an evaporation tank 3 mounted and fixed on the upper portion of the machine platform 1, and a stirring assembly 2 and an exhaust assembly 5 cooperating with the evaporation tank 3; the machine platform 1 comprises a panel 101, and a bracket 102 fixed to the edge of the opening of the panel 101; the evaporation tank 3 comprises a tank body 301 fixed between the brackets 102, a feed bin 302 arranged at the upper portion of one end of the tank body 301, and a discharge bin 303 arranged at the lower portion of the other end of the tank body 301; The stirring assembly 2 includes a motor 201 fixed to the upper side of the panel 101, a shaft 203 engaged with the motor 201 via a transmission member 202, and stirring blades 204 dispersedly fixed to the circumference of the shaft 203; the exhaust assembly 5 includes a grille plate 501 embedded in the circumference of the tank body 301, an air collecting pipe 502 connected to the internal cavity of the grille plate 501 via a connecting pipe, a connecting terminal 504 connected to one end of the air collecting pipe 502, and an exhaust pipe 503 connected to the connecting terminal 504;

[0034] The machine 1 serves as the supporting base of the device and cooperates with the external mounting structure to achieve the installation and fixation of the device. The evaporation tank 3 mounted on the upper part of the machine 1 serves as the evaporation reaction site. The feed is weighed before and after evaporation to determine its overall moisture content. During the evaporation process, the stirring component 2 is used to mix the feed to ensure that it is heated evenly, while the exhaust component 5 is used to discharge the hot air during the evaporation process to ensure that the water vapor evaporated from the feed is discharged smoothly. That is, the feed enters the tank body 301 through the feed bin 302, and the motor 201 drives the stirring component 2 to work, so that the feed is evenly distributed in the tank body 301. After heating, the water evaporates and enters the exhaust system through the grille plate 501, and is finally discharged through the exhaust pipe 503.

[0035] Specifically, an opening for installing a grille plate 501 is provided on the side of the tank body 301, and a filter screen 505 is fitted on the inner side of the grille plate 501; the middle section of the exhaust pipe 503 is spirally arranged, and the end of the exhaust pipe 503 is tilted downward, and the connection end of the exhaust pipe 503 and the connection end 504 is a T-shaped pipe structure.

[0036] Furthermore, the feed bin 302 cooperates with the raw material adding mechanism, the discharge bin 303 cooperates with the external collection mechanism, and both the feed bin 302 and the discharge bin 303 are equipped with solenoid valve plates; the shaft 203 is rotatably arranged inside the tank body 301, and the outer edge of the stirring blade 204 fixed on its side is in contact with the inner wall of the tank body 301.

[0037] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0038] 1. Open the electromagnetic valve plate of the feed bin 302 and pour the weighed feed into the tank 301;

[0039] Second, the motor 201 is started. The output shaft of the motor 201 drives the shaft 203 to rotate via the transmission member 202 (a transmission system consisting of a belt and a pulley can be used). The stirring blades 204 fixed to the side of the shaft 203 rotate synchronously to mix the feed stored in the tank 301. During the mixing process, the stirring blades 204 continuously contact the inner wall of the tank 301 to clean the inner wall.

[0040] During the evaporation process, the water in the feed evaporates and is discharged through the grid plate 501. The filter 505 prevents fine feed particles from entering the grid plate 501. The water vapor is collected through the grid plate 501 to the gas collecting pipe 502 and then discharged through the exhaust pipe 503. The end of the exhaust pipe 503 is tilted downward to facilitate the discharge of condensed water in its piping system.

[0041] 4. After the test is completed, open the electromagnetic valve plate of the discharge bin 303 to discharge the dried material and weigh it (the weighing structure can also be set at the bottom of the entire device to continuously monitor the weight of the feed during the exhaust process. The specific weighing method depends on the actual testing environment);

[0042] 5. Clean the evaporation tank and other related components for subsequent use.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] See also Figure 1-3 Based on the first specific embodiment, a heating component 4 is fixed to the bottom of the side of the tank body 301, and the heating component 4 includes a heating base 401, and the heating base 401 is connected to a ring-shaped heating resistance wire, and the ring-shaped heating resistance wire is located in the heating chamber of the tank body 301; after the feed enters the evaporation tank 3, the heating component 4 starts heating, so that the moisture evaporates quickly, reducing the testing time. The uniform heating method reduces data errors caused by uneven temperature.

[0045] Specifically, the heating assembly 4 further includes a control screen 402 , and the control screen 402 is fixed at the middle position of the outer side surface of the heating base 401 .

[0046] Furthermore, the tank body 301 is located above the opening of the panel 101, and the tank body 301 is a double-layer structure, with the inner layer and the outer layer separated to form a heating chamber.

[0047] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0048] 1. Check whether the heating component 4 is normal and set the heating parameters through the control panel 402;

[0049] 2. Load the material according to the steps of Example 1;

[0050] 3. Start the heating assembly 4. The annular heating resistor located inside the heating chamber is energized and heated. The heat is transferred inward through the inner liner of the heating chamber to start heating the feed inside the tank 301.

[0051] 4. After heating is completed, unload and clean according to the steps of Example 1.
