Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of feed processing equipment technology, specifically a cooling device for feed production. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous improvement of agricultural mechanization, the feed industry, as an important part of animal husbandry, is also developing rapidly. In the feed processing process, cooling is an important step that directly affects the quality and storage stability of the final product. Traditional cooling methods mostly use natural air cooling or water cooling. Although these methods are simple and easy to implement, they are inefficient and occupy a lot of space under high production demand. In recent years, in order to improve cooling efficiency and reduce land occupation, the industry has begun to explore more efficient cooling technologies and equipment.
[0003] However, while traditional cooling equipment has its own characteristics, in general, it is difficult for them to meet the requirements of modern high-efficiency, energy-saving and environmentally friendly production. Especially in the feed industry, due to the diversity of raw materials and the complexity of production processes, existing cooling technologies are difficult to achieve ideal cooling effects, and they also face problems such as large equipment investment and large land area. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a cooling device for feed production, which has advantages such as improved cooling efficiency. It solves the problem that traditional cooling equipment has its own characteristics, but in general, they are all difficult to meet the requirements of modern high-efficiency, energy-saving and environmentally friendly production. Especially in the feed industry, due to the diversity of raw materials and the complexity of production processes, existing cooling technologies are difficult to achieve ideal cooling effects, and also face problems such as large equipment investment and large footprint.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a cooling device for feed production, comprising a cooling chamber, two guide plates fixedly connected to both sides of the interior of the cooling chamber, multiple ventilation slots arranged in a linear array on the upper surface of the four guide plates, four air distribution strips arranged in a linear array fixedly connected to both sides of the interior of the cooling chamber, multiple nozzles arranged in a linear array fixedly connected to one side of the multiple air distribution strips penetrating the cooling chamber, a hopper fixedly connected to the upper end of the cooling chamber, an inlet penetrating one side of the bottom of the hopper, an inlet guide plate fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the hopper, and two vibrating motors arranged in a mirror image fixedly connected to the bottom of the inlet guide plate.
[0006] The above-described design incorporates multiple horizontally arranged guide plates within the cooling chamber. These plates not only guide material flow but also increase the contact area between cooling air and material through ventilation slots on their upper surfaces, thereby improving cooling efficiency. The placement of air distribution strips and nozzles ensures that cooling air is evenly distributed across each layer of material, guaranteeing uniform heating during the cooling process and further enhancing the cooling effect. The vertical layout of the cooling chamber makes the entire device more compact and occupies less space. Material passes through the guide plates sequentially from top to bottom, increasing the residence time within the cooling chamber and enhancing the overall cooling effect. The combined use of the feed guide plate and vibrating motor ensures even distribution of material upon entering the cooling chamber, preventing localized accumulation or blockage. This device boasts advantages such as high-efficiency cooling performance, optimized material flow path, compact structure, and high space utilization.
[0007] Furthermore, a cold air box is fixedly connected to one side of the cooling chamber, and three axial flow fans arranged in a straight line are fixedly connected to the upper part of the cold air box. A refrigeration device is fixedly installed on one side of the cold air box, and multiple cooling pipes arranged in a rectangular array are fixedly connected to one side of the refrigeration device. Air outlet pipes are fixedly connected to the bottom of both sides of the cold air box.
[0008] Through the above scheme, the cold air box and the axial flow fan installed inside it can efficiently draw in outside air and cool it through the refrigeration device and cooling pipes, thereby reducing the air temperature. This allows the material to reach the required cooling temperature more quickly and evenly. By adjusting the speed of the axial flow fan and the working status of the refrigeration device, the airflow and temperature in the cooling chamber can be flexibly controlled to adapt to the cooling needs of different types and specifications of feed. This flexibility helps to improve production efficiency and product quality.
[0009] Furthermore, two air distribution boxes arranged in a mirror image are fixedly connected to one side of the cooling chamber. Four hollow fixed seats arranged in a linear array are fixedly connected to one side of each of the two air distribution boxes. Connecting pipes are fixedly connected to one side of each of the hollow fixed seats. The end of each of the connecting pipes away from the hollow fixed seats is fixedly connected to the air distribution strip.
[0010] The above design, with two air distribution boxes fixedly connected to one side of the cooling chamber, allows the cooling air to be distributed more evenly to various areas of the cooling chamber. This design avoids uneven distribution of airflow in the cooling chamber and ensures that the material is cooled evenly and fully during the cooling process. Through the combination of hollow fixed base and connecting pipe, the air distribution box can stably deliver the cooling air to the air distribution strip, and then spray it evenly on the material through the nozzle, thus improving the cooling efficiency.
[0011] Furthermore, the ends of both air outlet ducts furthest from the cold air box are fixedly connected to the air distribution box.
[0012] With the above scheme, the air distribution box is fixedly connected to the cold air box through the air outlet pipe, and the cooled air is delivered to the interior of the air distribution box through the air outlet pipe.
[0013] Furthermore, a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cooling chamber.
[0014] The above solution ensures that the cooled material can be discharged smoothly through the fixed discharge pipe at the bottom of the cooling chamber.
[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the cooling chamber is fixedly connected to four legs arranged in a rectangular array.
[0016] The above scheme provides stable support for the cooling chamber with four legs arranged in a rectangular array, ensuring that the refrigeration unit will not shake or tilt due to vibration or load changes during operation, thereby guaranteeing the stability and safety of the equipment.
[0017] Furthermore, each of the cooling pipes extends into the interior of the cold air box from the end furthest from the refrigeration unit.
[0018] Through the above scheme, the cooling pipe directly transfers the cold energy generated by the refrigeration unit to the inside of the cold air box. After the cooling air is cooled in the cold air box, it is sent into the air distribution box through the air outlet pipe, and then evenly sprayed onto the material through the air distribution strip.
[0019] Furthermore, the four guide plates are arranged in pairs and staggered vertically on the inner wall of the cooling chamber.
[0020] The above design, with the guide plates arranged in pairs and staggered vertically, allows the material to be distributed more evenly in the cooling chamber. This helps ensure that the material is subjected to uniform cooling air during the cooling process, thereby improving cooling efficiency and product quality. By optimizing the material distribution, this design allows the cooling air to penetrate the material layer more effectively, achieving faster heat exchange. This helps improve cooling efficiency, shorten cooling time, and thus reduce production costs.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] This cooling device for feed production features multiple horizontally arranged guide plates within the cooling chamber. These plates not only guide the material flow but also increase the contact area between the cooling air and the material through ventilation slots on their upper surfaces, thereby improving cooling efficiency. The placement of air distribution strips and nozzles ensures that the cooling air is evenly distributed across each layer of material, guaranteeing uniform heating during the cooling process and further enhancing the cooling effect. The vertical layout of the cooling chamber makes the entire device more compact and occupies less space. The material passes through each guide plate sequentially from top to bottom, increasing the residence time of the material within the cooling chamber and thus enhancing the overall cooling effect. The combined use of the feed guide plate and the vibrating motor ensures that the material is evenly distributed upon entering the cooling chamber, avoiding localized accumulation or blockage.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment of a cooling device for feed production includes a cooling chamber 1. Two guide plates 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the interior of the cooling chamber 1. Multiple ventilation slots 3 arranged in a linear array are formed on the upper surface of each of the four guide plates 2. The multiple horizontally arranged guide plates 2 within the cooling chamber 1 not only guide the flow of materials but also increase the contact area between the cooling air and the materials through the ventilation slots 3 on their upper surfaces, thereby improving cooling efficiency. Four air distribution strips 4 arranged in a linear array are fixedly connected to both sides of the cooling chamber 1. Each of the multiple air distribution strips 4 penetrates one side of the cooling chamber 1 and is fixedly connected to... Multiple nozzles 5 arranged in a straight line are connected to the cooling chamber 1. The arrangement of the air distribution strips 4 and nozzles 5 ensures that the cooling air can be evenly distributed on each layer of material, ensuring that the material can be evenly heated during the cooling process, further improving the cooling effect. A hopper 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the cooling chamber 1. A feed inlet 7 is opened through one side of the bottom of the hopper 6. A feed guide plate 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the hopper 6. Two vibrating motors 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed guide plate 8. The combination of the feed guide plate 8 and the vibrating motors 9 ensures that the material can be evenly distributed when entering the cooling chamber 1, avoiding local accumulation or blockage.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5A cold air box 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the cooling chamber 1. Three axial flow fans 11 arranged in a straight line are fixedly connected to the upper interior of each cold air box 10. A refrigeration device 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the cold air box 10. Multiple cooling pipes 13 arranged in a rectangular array are fixedly connected to one side of the refrigeration device 12. Air outlet pipes 14 are fixedly connected to the bottom of both sides of the cold air box 10. The cold air box 10 and the axial flow fans 11 inside it can efficiently draw in external air and cool it through the refrigeration device 12 and cooling pipes 13, thereby reducing the air temperature and allowing the material to reach the required cooling temperature more quickly and evenly. By adjusting the speed of the axial flow fans 11 and the working state of the refrigeration device 12, the airflow and temperature inside the cooling chamber 1 can be flexibly controlled to adapt to the cooling needs of different types and specifications of feed. This flexibility helps improve production efficiency and product quality. Two mirror-distributed air distribution boxes 15 are fixedly connected to one side of the cooling chamber 1. Each air distribution box 15 has four hollow fixed seats 16 arranged in a straight line on one side. Each hollow fixed seat 16 has a connecting pipe 17 fixedly connected to one side. The end of the connecting pipe 17 away from the hollow fixed seat 16 is fixedly connected to the air distribution bar 4. The design of two air distribution boxes 15 fixedly connected to one side of the cooling chamber 1 allows the cooling air to be distributed more evenly to various areas of the cooling chamber 1. This design avoids uneven distribution of airflow in the cooling chamber 1 and ensures that the material can be cooled evenly and fully during the cooling process. Through the combination of hollow fixed seats 16 and connecting pipes 17, the air distribution box 15 can stably deliver the cooling air to the air distribution bar 4, and then spray it evenly on the material through the nozzle 5 to improve the cooling efficiency. The ends of two air outlet pipes 14 away from the cold air box 10 are fixedly connected to the air distribution box 15. The air distribution box 15 is fixedly connected to the cold air box 10 through the air outlet pipes 14, and the cooled air is delivered to the interior of the air distribution box 15 through the air outlet pipes 14.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5A discharge pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cooling chamber 1, ensuring that the cooled material can be discharged smoothly. Four support legs 19 arranged in a rectangular array are also fixedly connected to the bottom of the cooling chamber 1, providing stable support and ensuring that the refrigeration unit 12 will not shake or tilt due to vibration or load changes during operation, thus guaranteeing the stability and safety of the equipment. Multiple cooling pipes 13 extend from one end away from the refrigeration unit 12 into the cold air box 10, directly transferring the cooling energy generated by the refrigeration unit 12 into the cold air box 10. After being cooled in the air cooling box 10, the air is sent into the air distribution box 15 through the air outlet 14, and then evenly sprayed onto the material by the air distribution strips 4. The four guide plates 2 are arranged in pairs and staggered vertically on the inner wall of the cooling chamber 1. The design of the guide plates 2 in pairs and staggered vertically allows the material to be more evenly distributed in the cooling chamber 1, which helps to ensure that the material is subjected to uniform cooling air during the cooling process, thereby improving cooling efficiency and product quality. By optimizing the distribution of the material, this design allows the cooling air to penetrate the material layer more effectively and achieve faster heat exchange, which helps to improve cooling efficiency, shorten cooling time, and thus reduce production costs.
[0034] In this embodiment, the cooling device for feed production features multiple horizontally arranged guide plates 2 within the cooling chamber 1. These guide plates 2 not only guide the material flow but also increase the contact area between the cooling air and the material through ventilation slots 3 on their upper surfaces, thereby improving cooling efficiency. The placement of air distribution strips 4 and nozzles 5 ensures that the cooling air is evenly distributed on each layer of material, guaranteeing uniform heating during the cooling process and further enhancing the cooling effect. The vertical layout of the cooling chamber 1 makes the entire device more compact and occupies less space. The material passes through each guide plate 2 from top to bottom, increasing the residence time of the material in the cooling chamber 1 and enhancing the overall cooling effect. The combined use of the feed guide plate 8 and the vibration motor 9 ensures that the material is evenly distributed when entering the cooling chamber 1, avoiding local accumulation or blockage. This device has the advantages of high-efficiency cooling performance, optimized material flow path, compact structure, and high space utilization.
[0035] It should be noted that the staggered design of the guide plates 2, arranged in pairs, provides an optimized flow path for the material. After entering the cooling chamber 1 from the top, the material can roll along the guide plates 2 and pass through each cooling layer in sequence, ensuring that each material particle is fully cooled. This makes the material distribution in the cooling chamber 1 more uniform, and each material particle can fully contact the cooling air, thereby achieving a more uniform cooling effect. The staggered design of the guide plates 2 causes the material to continuously change direction during the rolling process, increasing the contact area and time between the material and the cooling air, thereby improving cooling efficiency. This design helps to shorten the cooling time, reduce energy consumption, and improve production efficiency.
[0036] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0037] First, the material is fed into the hopper 6 through the feed inlet 7 at the top. The material slides from the bottom of the hopper 6 onto the top of the cooling chamber 1 via the feed guide plate 8. The vibration of the vibrating motor 9 ensures that the material is evenly distributed upon entering the cooling chamber 1, preventing localized accumulation or blockage. After entering the cooling chamber 1, the material begins to roll along the staggered guide plates 2. The design of the guide plates 2 not only guides the material flow but also increases the contact area between the cooling air and the material through the ventilation slots 3 on their upper surface, improving cooling efficiency. Simultaneously, multiple air distribution strips 4 and nozzles 5 on both sides of the cooling chamber 1 evenly spray cooling air onto each layer of material, ensuring uniform cooling during the cooling process and further improving the cooling effect. The axial flow fan 11 inside the chamber 10 draws in outside air and cools it through the refrigeration device 12 and cooling pipe 13. The cooled air is sent into the air distribution box 15 through the air outlet pipe 14, and then evenly sprayed onto the material through the connecting pipe 17 and the air distribution strip 4. The cooling pipe 13 directly transfers the cold energy generated by the refrigeration device 12 to the inside of the cold air box 10, ensuring that the cooling air can reach a low temperature before being sent into the cooling chamber 1. The cooled material continues to roll along the guide plate 2 and is finally discharged from the discharge pipe 18 at the bottom of the cooling chamber 1. The four legs 19 arranged in a rectangular array provide stable support for the cooling chamber 1, ensuring that the equipment will not shake or tilt due to vibration or load changes during operation.
