Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feed processing technology, and in particular relates to a feed processing fermentation tank for cattle. Background Technology
[0002] In modern cattle farming, fermentation tanks are used to process feed, which helps improve the cattle's immunity and disease resistance. The working principle of a fermentation tank is mainly based on the fermentation process of microorganisms. After crushed feed and hay are placed in the fermentation tank, an appropriate amount of water is added, and the tank is sealed. Under anaerobic or microaerobic conditions, microorganisms utilize the carbohydrates, soluble sugars, and other components in the feed to ferment, producing organic acids such as lactic acid. This lowers the pH value of the environment, thereby inhibiting the growth of putrefactive bacteria and mold. After a period of fermentation, the crude fiber in the feed is degraded, increasing its nutritional value, and beneficial bacteria are produced, making it easier for cattle to digest and absorb.
[0003] According to the authorization announcement number CN212476688U, a feed processing fermentation tank for cattle includes a fermentation tank body and a fermentation tank cover. A pressure relief valve is installed on the fermentation tank cover. A movable rod passes through the fermentation tank cover, and a push rod is fixedly installed at the top of the movable rod. The top of the movable rod is located at the center of the push rod. A through hole is provided on the movable rod, through which a support rod passes. The bottom end of a telescopic rod is rotatably connected to a fixed seat. The fixed seat is fixedly connected to a fixed plate, and a leveling tooth is fixedly connected below the fixed plate. The height adjustment component of the leveling tooth is located inside the fermentation tank. When leveling the feed in the fermentation tank, the fermentation tank cover needs to be opened to adjust the height, which is cumbersome and inconvenient. Furthermore, the strong odor inside the fermentation tank increases the operator's discomfort. Utility Model Content

[0020] This utility model embodiment provides a feed processing and fermentation tank for cattle, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, the fermentation tank for cattle feed processing includes: a fermentation tank body 1 for processing cattle feed; a fixing block 2, which is fixedly installed on the fermentation tank body 1; a chute 3, which is formed on the fixing block 2 and communicates with the interior of the fermentation tank body 1; a spherical block 4, which is slidably installed in the chute 3 and can rotate within the chute 3; a push rod 5, which slides through the spherical block 4 and extends into the fermentation tank body 1; a leveling tooth 6, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the push rod 5 and disposed within the fermentation tank body 1 for leveling the cattle feed raw materials within the fermentation tank body 1; and an adjustment mechanism disposed on the spherical block 4 for adjusting the height of the leveling tooth 6 within the fermentation tank body 1.
[0021] In this embodiment, the fermentation tank body 1 serves as the main container for feed fermentation, providing a closed environment conducive to microbial fermentation under anaerobic or microaerobic conditions, thereby improving the nutritional value of the feed. The fixing block 2 acts as a support structure for the chute 3, ensuring its stability and robustness, and providing a stable reference for adjusting the height of the leveling teeth 6. The chute 3 is connected to the interior of the fermentation tank body 1, allowing the spherical block 4 to slide and rotate within it. This sliding and rotating mechanism makes the height and angle adjustment of the leveling teeth 6 more flexible, adapting to different fermentation stages and feed states. The design of the spherical block 4 increases the flexibility and stability of adjustment, making it easier for the leveling teeth 6 to adapt to the complex environment within the fermentation tank. The push rod 5 serves as the transmission component of the leveling teeth 6, ensuring its stable and efficient operation within the fermentation tank. The leveling teeth 6 are used to level the cattle feed raw materials within the fermentation tank, improving the uniformity of feed fermentation and enhancing feed utilization and nutritional value. The height of the pusher tooth 6 can be easily adjusted by the adjustment mechanism to adapt to the needs of different feed thicknesses and fermentation stages, thus improving the convenience and flexibility of operation.
[0022] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the adjusting mechanism includes multiple limiting grooves 7, two positioning blocks 8, a nut 9, a positioning rod 10, and an operating rod 11. The multiple limiting grooves 7 are all formed on the push rod 5. The two positioning blocks 8 are both fixedly installed on the spherical block 4. The nut 9 is fixedly installed on any of the positioning blocks 8. The positioning rod 10 slides through both positioning blocks 8 and slides through any of the limiting grooves 7. One end of the positioning rod 10 is threaded and threadedly connected to the nut 9. The operating rod 11 slides through the other end of the positioning rod 10. Both ends of the positioning rod 10 are fixedly equipped with stops for fixing the operating rod 11 to the positioning rod 10.
[0023] In this embodiment, the limiting groove 7 serves as a position reference for the sliding and fixing of the positioning rod 10. The design of the limiting groove 7 allows for precise control of the height of the push rod 5 and the flattening tooth 6, enabling fine-tuning and improving the accuracy and flexibility of the adjustment. The positioning block 8 serves as the support and fixing point for the positioning rod 10, ensuring its stability and firmness, allowing it to reliably slide and be fixed in the limiting groove 7. The nut 9, through a threaded connection, secures the positioning rod 10, ensuring that the push rod 5 and the flattening tooth 6 are stably maintained at the required height. The design of the positioning rod 10 enables precise adjustment and fixing of the push rod 5's height, improving the convenience and accuracy of operation. Using the operating lever 11, the user can easily adjust the position of the positioning rod 10 in the limiting groove 7, thereby adjusting the height of the push rod 5 and the flattening tooth 6. Stops are fixedly installed at both ends of the positioning rod 10 to fix the operating lever 11 to the positioning rod 10, preventing accidental detachment or sliding of the operating lever 11 and ensuring the safety and stability of the adjustment mechanism.
[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, two elastic seals are fixedly installed inside the slide groove 3. One end of each elastic seal is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 3, and the other end of each elastic seal is fixedly connected to the spherical block 4.
[0025] In this embodiment, the elastic seal is tightly fitted between the chute 3 and the spherical block 4, effectively preventing gas leakage from the fermentation tank body 1, reducing gas leakage and odor diffusion, which helps maintain the stability of the microenvironment within the fermentation tank, and improves the fermentation quality and efficiency of the feed. The elastic seal has a certain degree of elasticity and lubricity, which reduces the frictional resistance of the spherical block 4 when sliding within the chute 3, making the adjustment process smoother and extending the service life of the equipment. When the spherical block 4 slides or rotates within the chute 3, the elastic seal provides a certain buffering effect, reducing the impact and wear on the chute 3 and the spherical block 4, and improving the stability and durability of the equipment.
[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the top of the fermentation tank body 1 is provided with a feed inlet 12, a sealing plate 13 is hinged to the feed inlet 12, and a handle is fixedly installed on the sealing plate 13.

By monitoring the temperature and humidity data, users can adjust fermentation conditions in a timely manner, such as adding water or adjusting the temperature, to ensure that the feed ferments under optimal temperature and humidity conditions, thereby improving the fermentation quality and nutritional value of the feed. The temperature and humidity detector 14 can also help users promptly detect abnormalities during the fermentation process, such as excessively high temperature or humidity, and thus take corresponding measures to prevent malfunctions and ensure the smooth progress of the fermentation process.
[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fermentation tank body 1 is provided with an exhaust mechanism for discharging odorous gases produced during fermentation. The exhaust mechanism includes a storage tank 15, an inlet pipe 16, a connecting pipe 17, and two valves 18. The storage tank 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the fermentation tank body 1.

The two valves 18 are respectively provided on the inlet pipe 16 and the connecting pipe 17.
[0031] In this embodiment, the exhaust mechanism is used to discharge odorous gases generated during fermentation and purify them using a chemical absorbent, further improving the cleanliness and safety of the fermentation environment. The design of the storage tank 15 ensures a continuous and stable supply of chemical absorbent to the exhaust mechanism, guaranteeing effective purification of the odorous gases. The inlet pipe 16 is used to fill the storage tank 15 with odor-absorbing chemical absorbent, allowing users to easily add the absorbent and ensuring the continuous operation and purification effect of the exhaust mechanism. The connecting pipe 17 allows odorous gases from the fermentation tank 1 to smoothly enter the storage tank 15 and fully contact the chemical absorbent, thus achieving purification. The valve 18 controls the filling of the chemical absorbent and the emission of odorous gases, allowing users to flexibly control the operation of the exhaust mechanism and ensure the rapid and effective discharge of odorous gases generated during fermentation when needed.
[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, two observation windows 19 are fixedly installed on the sealing plate 13 for observing the fermentation situation inside the fermentation tank body 1.
[0033] In this embodiment, two observation windows 19 are fixedly installed on the sealing plate 13. Their placement is rationally designed, allowing users to directly observe the fermentation process within the fermentation tank 1 without opening the sealing plate 13. The observation windows 19 enable users to observe the feed fermentation status in the fermentation tank in real time and intuitively, including the feed's color, shape, and the bubbles produced during fermentation. This helps users understand the fermentation progress and effects promptly. Observing the fermentation through the observation windows 19 avoids the need for users to frequently open the sealing plate 13, reducing potential hazards from improper operation or harmful gases generated during fermentation and improving operational safety. Users can adjust fermentation conditions such as temperature, humidity, and aeration based on the observations through the observation windows 19 to ensure optimal fermentation conditions, improving fermentation quality and efficiency. The design of the observation windows 19 also facilitates daily maintenance and inspection of the fermentation tank, such as observing for abnormal fermentation phenomena or equipment malfunctions, helping to identify and resolve problems promptly.
[0034] In summary, compared with related technologies, the height adjustment mechanism of the flattening teeth is ingeniously designed. Through the cooperation of the sliding groove, spherical block, push rod, and adjustment mechanism, users can easily adjust the height of the flattening teeth to adapt to the needs of different feed thicknesses and fermentation stages. Furthermore, the sealing plate design on the feed inlet and the addition of a handle make feed addition and fermentation tank maintenance simpler and faster. The introduction of a temperature and humidity detector allows users to monitor the temperature and humidity data in the fermentation tank in real time, thereby adjusting fermentation conditions promptly to ensure that the feed ferments in the optimal environment, which helps improve the fermentation quality and nutritional value of the feed, and also helps prevent malfunctions. The exhaust mechanism design allows odorous gases generated during fermentation to be effectively discharged and purified by chemical absorbents, not only reducing gas leakage and odor diffusion, but also helping to maintain a stable microenvironment within the fermentation tank, improving feed fermentation quality and efficiency. At the same time, the addition of an observation window allows users to observe the fermentation process without opening the sealing plate, further improving operational safety.
