Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pet food processing technology, specifically to a raw material storage device for pet food processing. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the livestock and pet food industries, the storage technology of feed ingredients has become particularly important. Feed ingredients typically include corn, soybean meal, straw, rice husks, grain powder, and meat powder. These ingredients are susceptible to the effects of ambient temperature and humidity during storage, leading to quality degradation and even mold or spontaneous combustion. Therefore, how to effectively store feed and maintain its quality and nutritional components has become an urgent problem to be solved in the industry.

[0003] Some feed ingredients (such as those rich in oil or sugar) are prone to oxidation or microbial decomposition during storage, releasing a large amount of heat and causing localized temperature increases. If this self-heating phenomenon cannot be dissipated or cooled in time, it may lead to the loss of nutrients in the raw materials and even the risk of spontaneous combustion. Secondly, if the raw materials are piled too high or the density is too high in the storage silo, the internal heat cannot be dissipated in time, resulting in heat accumulation. Heat accumulation not only accelerates feed spoilage but also increases the risk of spontaneous combustion. However, the ventilation systems of existing storage equipment are mostly unidirectional, which cannot achieve uniform air circulation in the silo, resulting in the ineffective removal of heat and moisture in local areas, forming temperature dead zones. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, where certain feed ingredients (such as those rich in oil or sugar) are prone to oxidation or microbial decomposition during storage, releasing a large amount of heat and causing localized temperature increases. If this self-heating phenomenon is not dissipated or cooled in time, it may lead to the loss of nutrients in the raw materials and even the risk of spontaneous combustion. This invention provides a raw material storage device for pet food processing. A hollow tube is installed at the center of the storage chamber, with air vents on the outer wall of the hollow tube in the upper, middle, and lower storage spaces. The hollow tube guides air to circulate evenly within the storage chamber, eliminating localized overheating, preventing heat accumulation, reducing the risk of self-heating and spontaneous combustion, and ensuring uniform temperature distribution within the storage area. Regular monitoring and ventilation maintain a suitable storage temperature, preventing quality degradation caused by excessively high temperatures. Furthermore, the four corner-mounted perforated exhaust pipes further accelerate airflow efficiency, ensuring effective air circulation during storage and reducing heat accumulation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] This utility model discloses a raw material storage device for pet food processing, including a storage chamber. Two rectangular reinforcing ribs are welded at equal intervals on the inner wall of the storage chamber. The two rectangular reinforcing ribs divide the internal space of the storage chamber into an upper storage space, a middle storage space and a lower storage space.

[0007] The storage chamber is equipped with a ventilation and drying system, which includes a hollow tube fixedly installed at the vertical center line inside the storage chamber. The outer wall of the hollow tube has air outlets in the upper, middle, and lower storage spaces, and protective filters are installed inside the air outlets. An air supply pipe is fixed at the center line inside the hollow tube. An air outlet hood is conductively connected to the outer wall of the air supply pipe and the air outlet, and a solenoid valve is installed on the air outlet hood. Temperature and humidity sensors are installed on the outer wall of the hollow tube in the upper, middle, and lower storage spaces.

[0008] During use, the temperature and humidity sensors are periodically controlled to collect the temperature and humidity of the raw materials stored in the upper, middle and lower storage spaces. When the temperature of the raw materials in the upper, middle and lower storage spaces rises, the solenoid valve on the vent hood of the corresponding storage space can be opened to allow dry air to enter through the air inlet pipe. The air is then discharged from the vent hood and vent through the air delivery pipe, comes into contact with the raw materials, and carries away the heat from the raw materials. The air is then discharged through the perforated exhaust pipe and vent pipe, forming a circulation.

[0009] Similarly, by periodically controlling the temperature and humidity sensors to collect the temperature and humidity of the raw materials stored in the upper, middle, and lower storage spaces, when the humidity of the raw materials in the upper, middle, and lower storage spaces is high, the solenoid valve on the corresponding storage space's vent can be opened, allowing heated air to be introduced through the air inlet pipe. The air then exits through the air outlet and vent through the air supply pipe, contacting the raw materials to dry them. The air is then discharged through the hollow exhaust pipe and vent pipe, forming a circulation. Therefore, the hollow pipe can provide uniform heat dissipation throughout the storage chamber, avoiding moisture and mold caused by uneven temperature, and keeping the feed raw materials dry and stable.

[0010] Preferably, the storage chamber has a rectangular structure, and hollow exhaust pipes are vertically arranged at the four corners of the inner wall of the storage chamber. The top and bottom of the hollow exhaust pipes are fixed to the inner wall of the storage chamber with bolts by fixing rings. The hollow exhaust pipes are designed to accelerate the flow efficiency of air discharged into the raw materials and improve the discharge efficiency of air discharged into the middle and lower storage spaces.

[0011] Preferably, a top cover is snapped onto the top opening of the storage chamber, and an air inlet pipe is conductively connected to the top cover. The bottom end of the air inlet pipe extends into the hollow tube and is conductively connected to the air delivery pipe. An air outlet pipe is conductively connected to the top cover, and a dust filter is installed inside the air outlet pipe. The air inlet pipe is used to deliver dry cold air or heated hot air into the air delivery pipe for heat dissipation or drying of the raw materials stored in the storage chamber. The air outlet pipe is used to discharge the air that is input into the storage chamber through the air inlet pipe.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the storage silo is connected to a feeding silo, which has an inverted conical structure. A feeding port is provided at the center of the bottom of the feeding silo. Four support legs are welded to the outside of the feeding silo at the bottom of the storage silo. A feeding valve is provided on the feeding port to control the opening and closing of the feeding port. Feed is fed through the feeding port. The support legs allow the feeding port to be suspended in the air, making it convenient for the transport equipment to receive the feed raw materials discharged from the feeding port.

[0013] Preferably, an operating platform is welded to the top of the side wall of the storage compartment. A protective railing is welded to the upper surface corner of the operating platform. An inclined support rod is bolted between the lower surface of the operating platform and the storage compartment. There are two inclined support rods, which are symmetrical about the horizontal center line of the operating platform. The inclined support rods are used to provide auxiliary support for the operating platform and improve its strength. The operating platform allows the user to stand on top of the storage compartment for easy inspection and cleaning.

[0014] Preferably, a climbing ladder is provided on the side wall of the storage compartment, and the climbing ladder is fixedly connected to the side wall of the storage compartment through a connecting column. An annular protective cover is welded to the outer wall of the climbing ladder.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This raw material storage equipment for pet food processing features a hollow tube at the center of the storage chamber. Air vents are located on the outer wall of the hollow tube in the upper, middle, and lower storage spaces. The hollow tube guides airflow evenly within the storage chamber, eliminating localized overheating, preventing heat buildup, and reducing the risk of self-heating and spontaneous combustion. This ensures uniform temperature distribution within the storage area. Regular monitoring and ventilation maintain a suitable storage temperature, preventing quality degradation caused by excessive heat. Furthermore, the four corner vents further enhance airflow efficiency, ensuring effective air circulation during storage and reducing heat buildup. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 5 This invention further explains the specific implementation of a raw material storage device for pet food processing, overcoming the limitations of existing technologies where certain feed ingredients (such as those rich in oil or sugar) are prone to oxidation or microbial decomposition during storage, releasing a large amount of heat and causing localized temperature increases. If this self-heating phenomenon cannot be dissipated or cooled in time, it may lead to the loss of nutrients in the raw materials or even the risk of spontaneous combustion. This invention provides a raw material storage device for pet food processing by setting a hollow tube at the center of the storage chamber. Air outlets are provided on the outer wall of the hollow tube in the upper, middle, and lower storage spaces. The hollow tube guides air to circulate evenly within the storage chamber, eliminating localized overheating, preventing heat accumulation, reducing the risk of self-heating and spontaneous combustion, and ensuring uniform temperature distribution within the storage area. Through regular monitoring and ventilation, a suitable storage temperature can be maintained, preventing quality degradation caused by excessively high temperatures. Furthermore, the inclusion of hollowed-out exhaust pipes at the four corners further accelerates airflow efficiency, ensuring effective air circulation during storage and reducing heat accumulation.

[0024] A raw material storage device for pet food processing includes a storage chamber 1. Two rectangular reinforcing ribs 11 are welded at equal intervals on the inner wall of the storage chamber 1. The two rectangular reinforcing ribs 11 divide the internal space of the storage chamber 1 into an upper storage space 12, a middle storage space 13 and a lower storage space 14.

[0025] The storage chamber 1 is equipped with a ventilation and drying system, which includes a hollow tube 8 fixedly installed at the vertical center line inside the storage chamber 1. Air outlets 83 are provided on the outer wall of the hollow tube 8 in the upper storage space 12, the middle storage space 13 and the lower storage space 14, and a protective filter 84 is installed inside the air outlet 83. An air supply pipe 81 is fixed at the center line inside the hollow tube 8. An air outlet hood 86 is connected to the outer wall of the air supply pipe 81 and the air outlet 83, and a solenoid valve 85 is installed on the air outlet hood 86. Temperature and humidity sensors 82 are installed on the outer wall of the hollow tube 8 in the upper storage space 12, the middle storage space 13 and the lower storage space 14.

[0026] Specifically, during use, the temperature and humidity sensor 82 is periodically controlled to collect the temperature and humidity of the raw materials stored in the upper storage space 12, middle storage space 13 and lower storage space 14. When the temperature of the raw materials in the upper storage space 12, middle storage space 13 and lower storage space 14 rises, the solenoid valve 85 on the corresponding storage space's air vent 86 can be controlled to open, and dry air is introduced through the air inlet pipe 53. Then the air is discharged from the air vent 86 and air outlet 83 through the air delivery pipe 81, comes into contact with the raw materials, and takes away the heat from the raw materials. Then the air is discharged through the hollow exhaust pipe 9 and the air outlet pipe 51, forming a circulation flow.

[0027] Similarly, the temperature and humidity sensor 82 is periodically controlled to collect the temperature and humidity of the raw materials stored in the upper storage space 12, middle storage space 13 and lower storage space 14. When the humidity of the raw materials stored in the upper storage space 12, middle storage space 13 and lower storage space 14 is high, the solenoid valve 85 on the air vent 86 of the corresponding storage space can be opened to introduce heated air through the air inlet pipe 53. Then the air is discharged from the air vent 86 and the air outlet 83 through the air supply pipe 81, comes into contact with the raw materials, dries the raw materials, and then the air is discharged through the hollow exhaust pipe 9 and the air outlet pipe 51 to form a circulation.

[0028] Therefore, the hollow tube 8 can provide uniform heat dissipation throughout the entire storage chamber 1, avoiding moisture and mold caused by uneven temperature, and keeping the feed raw materials dry and stable.

[0029] The storage compartment 1 has a rectangular structure. At the four corners of the inner wall of the storage compartment 1, there are vertically arranged hollow exhaust pipes 9. The top and bottom of the hollow exhaust pipes 9 are fixed to the inner wall of the storage compartment 1 by bolts through fixing rings 91.

[0030] Specifically, the perforated exhaust pipe 9 is designed to accelerate the flow efficiency of air entering the raw materials and improve the exhaust efficiency of air entering the middle storage space 13 and the lower storage space 14.

[0031] The top opening of the storage compartment 1 is fitted with a top cover 5, and an air inlet pipe 53 is connected to the top cover 5. The bottom end of the air inlet pipe 53 extends into the hollow tube 8 and is connected to the air supply pipe 81. An air outlet pipe 51 is connected to the top cover 5, and a dust filter 52 is installed inside the air outlet pipe 51.

[0032] The air inlet pipe 53 is used to deliver dry cold air or heated hot air into the air delivery pipe 81 for heat dissipation or drying of the raw materials stored in the storage chamber 1, and the air outlet pipe 51 is used to discharge the air that is input into the storage chamber 1 through the air inlet pipe 53.

[0033] The bottom of the storage silo 1 is connected to a feeding silo 2, which has an inverted cone shape. A feeding port 3 is located at the center of the bottom of the feeding silo 2. Four support legs 4 are welded to the outside of the feeding silo 2 at the bottom of the storage silo 1. A feeding valve is installed on the feeding port 3 to control its opening and closing, allowing feed to be discharged through the feeding port 3. The support legs 4 allow the feeding port 3 to be suspended in the air, facilitating the receiving of feed materials discharged from the feeding port 3 by transport equipment.

[0034] An operating platform 7 is welded to the top of the side wall of the storage compartment 1. Protective railings 71 are welded to the corners of the upper surface of the operating platform 7. Two diagonal support rods 72 are bolted between the lower surface of the operating platform 7 and the storage compartment 1, and these two rods are symmetrical about the horizontal centerline of the operating platform 7. The diagonal support rods 72 provide auxiliary support for the operating platform 7, increasing its strength. The operating platform 7 allows the user to stand on top of the storage compartment 1, facilitating inspection and cleaning.

[0035] A climbing ladder 6 is provided on the side wall of the storage compartment 1. The climbing ladder 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the storage compartment 1 through a connecting column 61. An annular protective cover 62 is welded to the outer wall of the climbing ladder 6.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
