Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed production technology, specifically a sheep feed raw material storage device. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of animal husbandry, sheep farming accounts for a large proportion. According to the concentration of nutrients required by sheep at different stages of growth, different types of sheep feed are scientifically formulated to obtain different types of sheep feed. In the actual sheep feed processing process, various feed raw materials, including roughage, concentrate and feed additives, need to be crushed and mixed using specific equipment to make pelleted complete feed. Straw, as the main component of sheep feed, is usually chopped and stored in large quantities, and then fermented before use.
[0003] Current straw storage methods include silage processing, yellow silage processing, micro-silage processing, and dry silage processing. Except for dry silage processing, the other storage methods all require maintaining a humid environment and adding fermentation bacteria for fermentation. However, since straw fragments are relatively loose and directly put into storage, the internal gaps are large, making it impossible to provide a high-pressure anaerobic environment. The common method is to compress and pack a certain amount of straw fragments, which is labor-intensive and there is room for improvement in work efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sheep feed raw material storage device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A sheep feed raw material storage device, comprising:
[0007] Storage compartment, the storage compartment including a compartment body;
[0008] The water injection structure is fixedly installed on the top of the tank body;
[0009] A compression structure is rotatably installed inside the chamber. The compression structure includes a water tank, a primary rod is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the water tank, a secondary rod is fixedly installed at the lower end of the primary rod, and auger blades are fixedly wound on the side surfaces of the water tank, the primary rod, and the secondary rod.
[0010] Furthermore, the storage compartment also includes:
[0011] The funnel is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the silo body;
[0012] The discharge port is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the funnel;
[0013] A bottom cover is hinged to the lower opening of the discharge port on its rear side.
[0014] The feeding port is fixedly installed on the upper side of the silo body.
[0015] A top cover is hinged to the opening at the feed port;
[0016] The locking mechanism consists of several locking buckles, which are used to lock the edges of the bottom cover and the top cover together.
[0017] Furthermore, the storage compartment also includes:
[0018] A support frame, which is fixedly installed on the bottom edge of the compartment body;
[0019] A drive motor is fixedly installed on the upper side of the chamber.
[0020] Furthermore, the water injection structure also includes:
[0021] The turntable has fixed rings rotatably connected to the upper and lower edges of its side surface via sealed bearings. The fixed rings are fixedly installed on the top of the tank body. The top of the turntable is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, and the bottom of the turntable is fixedly connected to the water tank.
[0022] Furthermore, the water injection structure also includes:
[0023] A converging channel is provided on the adjacent surface of the turntable and the fixed ring;
[0024] The water injection channel is located inside the turntable and is connected to the confluence channel and the water tank.
[0025] The water injection pipe is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed ring and is connected to the confluence channel. One end of the water injection pipe extends out of the upper side of the chamber.
[0026] Furthermore, the compression structure also includes:
[0027] A water conveyance channel is provided inside the first-level and second-level poles, and the upper end of the water conveyance channel is connected to the water tank.
[0028] The water outlet channel is provided in several groups, and the several groups of water outlet channels are arranged at equal intervals on the side surface of the water conveyance channel.
[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0030] 1. Continuously feed straw fragments into the silo. Simultaneously, the rotation of the water tank, primary rod, and secondary rod drives the auger blades. When a certain amount is fed in, the auger blades with relatively small diameters on the side surfaces of the primary and secondary rods collect the surrounding straw fragments and assist in transporting them to the bottom of the funnel-shaped cone. This helps balance the top surfaces of the straw fragments, keeping them level and preventing cavities inside the straw pile, which would affect the actual storage capacity of the silo and the overall compaction of the straw pile. At the same time, when the silo is relatively full of straw fragments, the auger blades installed on the side surface of the water tank, with a diameter the same as the inner diameter of the silo, continue to move, sending the remaining straw in the transport channel formed by the auger blades and the inner wall of the silo into the lower part of the storage silo. This compacts the straw pile, increases the storage capacity, and provides support for subsequent fermentation.
[0031] 2. Water mixed with fermentation bacteria is injected into the water tank through the water supply equipment connected to one end of the water injection pipe, and then through the confluence channel and the water injection channel. The confluence channel opened on the adjacent surfaces of the turntable and the fixed ring can transport water normally while ensuring that the turntable can transmit rotational force normally. The water in the water tank flows into the water delivery channel, and then seeps into the straw fragments inside the silo through various water outlet channels. While replenishing water, the fermentation bacteria are mixed into the fragments, which provides assistance for the fermentation process. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0039] Please see Figure 1-5 In this embodiment of the present invention, a sheep feed raw material storage device includes a storage bin 1, a water injection structure 2, and a compression structure 3. The storage bin 1 includes a bin body 101; the water injection structure 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the bin body 101; the compression structure 3 is rotatably installed inside the bin body 101. The compression structure 3 includes a water tank 301. A primary rod 302 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the water tank 301, and a secondary rod 303 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the primary rod 302. Screw blades 304 are fixedly wound on the side surfaces of the water tank 301, the primary rod 302, and the secondary rod 303.
[0040] Specifically, straw fragments are continuously fed into the silo 101. Simultaneously, the rotation of the water tank 301, the primary rod 302, and the secondary rod 303 drives the auger blades 304. After a certain amount is fed in, the auger blades 304, whose side surfaces of the primary rod 302 and the secondary rod 303 have relatively small diameters, collect the surrounding straw fragments and assist in transporting them to the conical bottom of the funnel 102. This helps to balance the top surfaces of the straw fragments, keeping them level and preventing cavities from forming inside the straw fragment pile. This affects the actual storage capacity of the silo 101 and the overall compaction of the straw pile. At the same time, when the silo 101 is relatively full of straw, the auger blades 304, which are installed on the side surface of the water tank 301 and have the same diameter as the inner diameter of the silo 101, continue to move. This sends the remaining straw in the conveying channel formed by the auger blades 304 and the inner wall of the silo 101 into the lower part of the storage silo 1, compacting the straw pile, increasing the storage capacity and providing assistance for subsequent fermentation work.
[0041] Example 1
[0042] like Figure 2-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the storage bin 1 further includes a funnel 102, a discharge port 103, a bottom cover 104, a latch 105, a feeding port 107, and a top cover 108. The funnel 102 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the bin body 101; the discharge port 103 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the funnel 102; the rear side of the bottom cover 104 is hinged to the lower opening of the discharge port 103; the feeding port 107 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the bin body 101, and the top cover 108 is hinged to the upper opening of the feeding port 107; there are several latches 105, and the edges of the bottom cover 104 and the top cover 108 are locked by the latches 105.
[0043] In this embodiment, the chopped straw fragments are fed into the silo 101 through the feeding port 107 via a conveyor belt or other transport structure. The secondary rod 303 and the auger blades 304 installed on its side surface extend into the discharge port 103. During material removal, the straw fragments can be discharged from the discharge port 103 while maintaining compaction. The bottom cover 104 and top cover 108 are provided to close the top and bottom openings of the silo 101 when storing and fermenting the straw fragments, maintaining the airtightness of the silo 101 and providing a sealed anaerobic environment for fermentation.
[0044] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the storage chamber 1 further includes a support frame 106 and a drive motor 109. The support frame 106 is fixedly installed on the bottom edge of the chamber body 101; the drive motor 109 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the chamber body 101; the water injection structure 2 further includes a turntable 201. The upper and lower edges of the turntable 201 are rotatably connected to a fixed ring 202 through a sealed bearing. The fixed ring 202 is fixedly installed on the inner top of the chamber body 101. The top of the turntable 201 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 109, and the bottom side of the turntable 201 is fixedly connected to the water tank 301.
[0045] In practice, the turntable 201 is driven to rotate by the drive motor 109, which in turn drives the entire compression structure 3 to rotate, providing power for the material conveying and pressing work.
[0046] Example 2
[0047] Based on Example 1, in order to supplement the fact that when storage chamber 1 is completely closed in Example 1, it is impossible to add water to the straw fragments stored inside the chamber 101 to provide the humid environment required for fermentation.
[0048] like Figure 4-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the water injection structure 2 further includes a confluence channel 203, a water injection channel 204, and a water injection pipe 205. The confluence channel 203 is located on the adjacent surfaces of the turntable 201 and the fixed ring 202; the water injection channel 204 is located inside the turntable 201, and the water injection channel 204 is interconnected with the confluence channel 203 and the water tank 301; the water injection pipe 205 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed ring 202, and the water injection pipe 205 is interconnected with the confluence channel 203. The water injection pipe 205 extends out of the upper side of the chamber 101; the compression structure 3 also includes a water supply channel 305 and a water outlet channel 306. The water supply channel 305 is opened inside the first-stage rod 302 and the second-stage rod 303, and the upper end of the water supply channel 305 is connected to the water tank 301; the number of water outlet channels 306 is several groups, and the several groups of water outlet channels 306 are equally spaced and opened on the side surface of the water supply channel 305, and are connected to the outer surface of the first-stage rod 302 and the second-stage rod 303.
[0049] In practice, water mixed with fermentation bacteria is injected into the water tank 301 through an external water supply device connected to one end of the water injection pipe 205, and then through the confluence channel 203 and the water injection channel 204. The confluence channel 203, which is opened on the adjacent surfaces of the turntable 201 and the fixed ring 202, can transport water normally while ensuring that the turntable 201 can transmit rotational force normally. The water in the water tank 301 flows into the water delivery channel 305, and then seeps into the straw fragments inside the silo 101 through various water outlet channels 306. While replenishing water, the fermentation bacteria are mixed into the fragments, providing assistance for the fermentation process.
