Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of simulated natural air-drying storage technology for livestock forage, specifically, to a simulated natural air-drying storage device for livestock forage. Background Technology
[0002] Forage is the foundation of livestock production. It contains not only essential nutrients for livestock but also crude fiber, which is crucial for maintaining the health of ruminants—a component that cannot be replaced by grains or other feeds. High-quality forage can fully meet the nutritional needs of most livestock, and supplemental concentrates are generally unnecessary outside of the production or fattening period. For ease of storage, forage is typically air-dried after harvest. Currently, the common method involves piling the forage in sheds and using blowers to remove moisture, or letting it air dry naturally. This method is slow, and moisture from the air easily enters the sheds, causing the forage to become damp or even moldy. Therefore, we propose a simulated natural air-drying storage device for livestock forage. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a natural air-drying storage device based on livestock forage to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a simulated natural air-drying storage device for livestock forage, including an air-drying chamber. Several ventilation openings are provided on both sides and the bottom of the air-drying chamber. Sealing components are provided on both sides and the bottom of the air-drying chamber. Each sealing component includes a baffle, which is slidably disposed on one side of the air-drying chamber, with one side of the baffle in contact with the air-drying chamber. Side plates are symmetrically fixedly disposed on the side of the air-drying chamber closest to the sealing components. Screws are symmetrically rotatably disposed between the two side plates, with both screws rotatably inserted through the side of the baffle away from the air-drying chamber. A motor for driving the screws to rotate is fixedly disposed on one side of one of the side plates.
[0005] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a push plate is slidably arranged inside the drying chamber, and slide rails for limiting the push plate are symmetrically fixed on the bottom of the drying chamber. Several ventilation holes are opened on the surface of the push plate.
[0006] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a hydraulic rod is fixedly installed on one side of the drying chamber, and the piston rod of the hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to the center of one side of the push plate. Multiple heating wires are arranged between the push plate and the inner wall of the drying chamber, and both ends of the heating wires are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber.
[0007] As a further improvement to this technical solution, an electric motor is fixedly installed on the side of the drying chamber near the hydraulic rod, and a fan is rotatably installed inside the drying chamber. The fan is located between the heating wire and the inner wall of the drying chamber, and the shaft of the electric motor and the shaft of the fan are fixedly connected.
[0008] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a feed inlet is fixedly provided on the upper side of the drying chamber. The feed inlet is located on the side of the push plate away from the hydraulic rod, and a sealing device is fixedly provided inside the feed inlet.
[0009] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a side door is rotatably provided on the side of the drying chamber away from the hydraulic rod, a latch is fixedly provided on one side of the side door, and a handle is fixedly provided on the side of the side door near the latch.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] In this simulated natural air-drying storage device based on livestock forage, the user first puts the forage into the drying chamber through the feed inlet. Then, the heating wire is activated and the motor drives the fan to deliver hot air to the forage. After the forage is dried, the user activates multiple motors to drive multiple baffles to seal the heat dissipation holes on both sides and the bottom of the drying chamber, and operates the sealing device inside the feed inlet to seal the feed inlet. When it is necessary to remove the forage, the user opens the side door and operates the hydraulic rod to drive the push plate to push the forage out of the drying chamber. The device automatically seals the drying chamber after the forage is dried, preventing water vapor in the air from entering the interior of the device and causing the forage to become damp or moldy, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0021] Example 1
[0022] Please see Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a simulated natural air-drying storage device for livestock forage, including a drying chamber 1. The drying chamber 1 has several ventilation openings on its sides and bottom. A feed inlet 7 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the drying chamber 1. When using the device, the user first feeds the damp forage into the drying chamber 1 through the feed inlet 7. A pusher plate 3 is slidably installed inside the drying chamber 1. Slide rails for limiting the pusher plate 3 are symmetrically fixed on the bottom of the drying chamber 1. Several ventilation holes are opened on the surface of the pusher plate 3. Multiple ventilation openings are provided between the pusher plate 3 and the inner wall of the drying chamber 1. The heating wire 5 has both ends fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber 1. A motor 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the drying chamber 1. A fan is rotatably installed inside the drying chamber 1 and is located between the heating wire 5 and the inner wall of the drying chamber 1. The shaft of the motor 6 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the fan. After the hay is put into the drying chamber 1, the user starts the heating wire 5 to heat the inside of the drying chamber 1. Then the user starts the motor 6 to drive the fan to rotate. The fan delivers the hot air inside the drying chamber 1 to the middle of the hay to accelerate the evaporation of moisture in the hay.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-4As shown, sealing components 2 are provided on both sides and the bottom of the drying chamber 1. Each sealing component 2 includes a baffle 21, which is slidably disposed on one side of the drying chamber 1, with one side of the baffle 21 in contact with the drying chamber 1. Side plates 22 are symmetrically fixed on the side of the drying chamber 1 closest to the sealing components 2. Screws 23 are symmetrically rotatably disposed between the two side plates 22, with both screws 23 rotatably inserted into the side of the baffle 21 away from the drying chamber 1. A motor 24 is fixedly disposed on one side of each side plate 22 to drive the screws 23 to rotate. After the hay inside the drying chamber 1 is dried, the user starts multiple motors 24 to rotate multiple screws 23. These screws 23 then slide the corresponding baffles 21 until one side of the baffle 21 is in contact with the side plate 22. The ventilation openings on both sides and the bottom of the drying chamber 1 are sealed off. A sealing device is fixedly installed inside the feed inlet 7. The user seals the feed inlet 7 by operating the sealing device inside the feed inlet 7. A hydraulic rod 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the drying chamber 1. The piston rod of the hydraulic rod 4 is fixedly connected to the center of one side of the push plate 3. A side door 8 is rotatably installed on the side of the drying chamber 1 away from the hydraulic rod 4. A latch 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the side door 8. A handle is fixedly installed on the side of the side door 8 near the latch 9. When it is necessary to take out the hay inside the drying chamber 1, the user unlocks the latch 9 and opens the side door 8. Then, the user operates the hydraulic rod 4 to drive the push plate 3 to slide. The push plate 3 pushes the hay inside the drying chamber 1 towards the side door 8. Then, the user can take out the hay inside the drying chamber 1.
[0024] In this embodiment, the simulated natural air-drying storage device based on livestock forage is used by the user. First, the user puts the forage into the drying chamber 1 through the feed inlet 7. Then, the user starts the heating wire 5 and the motor 6 to drive the fan to deliver hot air to the forage. After the forage is dried, the user starts multiple motors 24 to drive multiple baffles 21 to seal the heat dissipation holes on both sides and the bottom of the drying chamber 1. The user also operates the sealing device inside the feed inlet 7 to seal the feed inlet 7. When it is necessary to take out the forage, the user opens the side door 8 and operates the hydraulic rod 4 to drive the push plate 3 to push the forage to the outside of the drying chamber 1. The device automatically seals the drying chamber 1 after the forage is dried, preventing water vapor in the air from entering the interior of the device and causing the forage to become damp or moldy, thus improving the practicality of the device.
