Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to feed production technical field, concretely relates to a granulator discharge structure of adjustable ration. BACKGROUND

[0002] When granulating animal feed, a pellet mill needs to be used to pelletize the feed raw materials, and the working process of the feed pellet mill mainly includes the following steps:

[0003] 1. Feeding: Pour the raw materials to be granulated into the machine from the feeding port. These raw materials can be powdery or crushed materials such as wood chips, straw, corn meal, and soybean meal.

[0004] 2. Distribution and extrusion: The raw materials are evenly distributed onto the working surface of the flat die and the rollers. The flat die is a disc-shaped component, and the rollers are installed on the roller frame and can rotate around the roller shaft. There is a certain gap between the rollers and the flat die, usually about 0.5 mm. When the vertical shaft drives the flat die and the rollers to rotate, the rollers rotate under the friction of the powder, thereby generating a huge extrusion force at the cutting point of the flat die and the rollers.

[0005] 3. Compression molding: Under the action of extrusion force, the powder is compressed and extruded into the die hole, and after overcoming the resistance of the die hole wall, it is compacted into a long cylindrical object. Due to the continuous rotation and extrusion of the rollers, the material is continuously extruded into the die hole, causing the pellet to continuously elongate.

[0006] 4. Cutting: The long cylindrical pellets are cut into pellets of a certain length by the cutting knife located below the flat die. By replacing the flat die with different hole sizes, pellets of different diameters can be obtained.

[0007] The feed pellets cut by the flat die are discharged from the discharge port of the pellet mill, but the existing feed pellet mill cannot adjust the size of the discharge port according to the size of the package, which can cause material leakage and unloading problems. SUMMARY

[0031] The technical solution of this utility model will be more clearly and completely explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through the description of the preferred embodiments of this utility model.

[0032] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the preferred embodiment of this utility model provides an adjustable quantitative granulator discharge structure, including a granulator body 1. A discharge pipe 2 is integrated into the discharge port of the granulator body 1. The discharge pipe 2 is inclined towards the buffer hopper 3 for convenient discharge. The buffer hopper 3 is fixed to the end of the discharge pipe 2 away from the granulator body 1, and the discharge pipe 2 is located on the upper side of the buffer hopper 3. A discharge pipe 4 is fixed at the bottom center of the buffer hopper 3. The inner cavity of the granulator body 1, the discharge pipe 2, the buffer hopper 3, and the discharge pipe 4 are interconnected. Power is provided by the granulator body 1, and the produced feed pellets sequentially enter the discharge pipe 2, the buffer hopper 3, and the discharge pipe 4 along the flow path, and are discharged from the bottom opening of the discharge pipe 4. By setting the buffer hopper 3, the possibility of feed pellets breaking due to feed accumulation at the discharge port of the granulator body 1 is reduced, thus improving the quality of the finished feed pellets.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 5 and Figure 6 The discharge pipe 4 is equipped with an adjustment component 5 to control the discharge amount of the discharge pipe 4. By adjusting the component 5, the staff can easily control the discharge amount of the discharge pipe 4 according to the packaging specifications, reducing the possibility of material leakage during unloading.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 5 and Figure 6The adjustment component 5 includes an operation box 501 that is integrated with the discharge pipe 4 and is mounted on the discharge pipe 4. The operation box 501 has a hollow interior and communicates with the interior of the discharge pipe 4. A sealing plate 502 adapted to the discharge pipe 4 is slidably connected to the interior of the operation box 501. An operation groove 503 communicating with the interior of the operation box 501 is provided on the upper surface of the operation box 501. A handle 504 is fixed on the sealing plate 502. The handle 504 extends out of the operation groove 503 and is slidably connected to the operation groove 503.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 5 and Figure 6 The control box 501 supports and accommodates the sealing plate 502 and the handle 504. The control groove 503 guides and limits the movement of the handle 504. The movement of the handle 504 drives the sealing plate 502, which is integrated with the handle 504, to move. Moving the sealing plate 502 adjusts the gap between the sealing plate 502 and the discharge pipe 4, thereby adjusting the discharge amount.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 5 The top of the slowing hopper 3 is open, and a sealing cover 6 is hinged to the top of the slowing hopper 3 to close the top opening. The sealing cover 6 has several ventilation holes 7 that connect the outside to the inner cavity of the slowing hopper 3. The ventilation holes 7 are arranged in an array.

[0037] like Figure 6 and Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sealing cover 6 allows staff to easily observe the pelleting process in the slowing hopper 3, facilitating timely maintenance and cleaning of the pellet mill. Several ventilation holes 7 are provided to increase the airflow rate in the slowing hopper 3, reduce the temperature of the feed pellets, and improve the quality of the feed pellets.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 1 The inner wall of the slowing hopper 3 is fixed with several guide plates 8. The cross-section of the guide plates 8 is C-shaped. The guide plates 8 are arranged alternately and located below the discharge pipe 4. Each guide plate 8 is arranged at an angle. By setting the guide plates 8, the feed particles discharged from the discharge pipe 4 can fall into the bottom of the slowing hopper 3 through the guide plates 8, which extends the movement path of the feed particles and further cools the feed particles.

[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 3The discharge pipe 4, located away from the slow-feeding hopper 3, is equipped with a cooling component for further cooling the feed pellets. By setting up the cooling component, the feed pellets are further cooled, reducing the loss of nutrients and improving the palatability and digestibility of the feed. The cooled feed pellets are easier to store and transport, reducing the risk of spoilage and mold during storage, and facilitating direct packaging of the feed pellets.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cooling assembly includes a feeding pipe 9, which is located below the discharge pipe 4 and is integrated with the discharge pipe 4. The inner cavity of the feeding pipe 9 is connected to the inner cavity of the discharge pipe 4. One end of the feeding pipe 9 is fixed to the air outlet of the fan 10 through a flange, and the other end is connected to the collection box for collecting feed pellets. Feed pellets falling from the discharge pipe 4 will directly enter the inner cavity of the feeding pipe 9. Powered by the fan 10, the feed pellets in the feeding pipe 9 are blown toward the collection box. While the fan 10 is feeding, it also cools down the feed pellets in the feeding pipe 9, further improving the quality of the feed pellets.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 1 Figure 2 A baffle plate is fixed to the inner wall of the feeding pipe 9. The baffle plate is located between the blower 10 and the discharge pipe 4 and is close to the blower 10. The baffle plate has several evenly arranged air supply holes. The diameter of the air supply holes is smaller than the diameter of the feed particles. By setting a baffle plate with several air supply holes, the possibility of feed particles entering the grading process is reduced without affecting the air supply.

[0042] When in use, connect the power supply and turn on the switch. According to the required packaging specifications, the staff grasps the handle 504 and moves the handle 504 manually. The movement of the handle 504 will drive the closed plate 502, which is integrated with the handle 504, to move. Moving the closed plate 502 adjusts the gap between the closed plate 502 and the discharge pipe 4, thereby adjusting the discharge amount.

[0043] Feed pellets produced by the pellet mill body 1 enter the discharge pipe 2, slowing hopper 3, discharge pipe 4, and feeding pipe 9 in sequence along the flow direction. The feed pellets entering the slowing hopper 3 will fall onto several alternately arranged guide plates 8 in sequence, and finally fall to the bottom of the slowing hopper 3, which extends the movement path of the feed pellets and improves the cooling efficiency of the feed pellets.

[0044] Turn on the fan 10. The fan 10 provides power, causing the feed particles in the feed pipe 9 to be blown out of the feed pipe 9 by the air force of the fan 10. The feed particles blown out of the feed pipe 9 fall into the collection box, which further extends the movement path of the feed particles and improves the cooling effect of the feed particles.

[0045] The above-described specific embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Various modifications, substitutions, and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention based on the provided description and drawings, without departing from the design concept and spirit of the present invention, should all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is determined by the claims.
