Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inoculation technology, and in particular to a fermentation bed with an adjustable material distribution mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Fermentation bed farming technology is an environmentally friendly, safe, and effective ecological farming model. It utilizes a complex of active functional microorganisms to continuously and stably convert animal manure and waste into useful substances and energy, achieving the goal of zero pollution and zero emissions. During use, a layer of bedding material is laid on the surface of the fermentation bed. The bedding material and livestock manure ferment together, rapidly converting raw manure, urine, and other livestock waste, eliminating odors. When using a spreading machine for inoculation, a scraper is used to level the bedding material. However, existing spreading machines apply too much force during leveling, resulting in a compacted bedding material that prevents oxygen from penetrating, which is detrimental to microbial growth and fermentation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fermentation bed with an adjustable fabric feeding mechanism. When the bedding material is leveled using a scraper, grooves are scraped out of the bedding material by rake teeth to increase the fluffiness of the bedding material, which is conducive to the reproduction and fermentation of microorganisms, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The main body of the scraper plate is a rectangular plate, and the end of the scraper plate facing the main body of the fermentation bed has an arc-shaped structure, which is used to scrape the bedding material laid on the main body of the fermentation bed. A plug-in plate is fixedly connected to the side end of the scraper plate, and a plug-in interface is provided in the middle of the plug-in interface. A rake tooth is inserted in the middle of the plug-in interface. When the rake tooth moves with the scraper plate, it is used to increase the fluffiness of the bedding material.

[0006] A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the side end of the scraper plate. An extrusion plate is provided between the fixing plate and the insertion plate. The extrusion plate is located at the upper end of the rake teeth. The extrusion plate extrudes the rake teeth to adjust the height of the rake teeth and control the depth of the rake teeth inserted into the pad material. A handle is fixedly connected to the side end of the rake teeth away from the insertion plate.

[0007] Preferably, the insertion interface extends through the insertion plate, and the side end of the rake tooth is fixedly connected to a connector. When the connector is inserted into the insertion interface at different positions, it is used to control the distance between two adjacent rake teeth.

[0008] Preferably, the connector has an L-shaped structure, and a snap-fit ​​groove is formed between the connector and the rake teeth. The side end of the rake teeth abuts against the top of the connector plate to limit and fix the rake teeth and the connector plate.

[0009] Preferably, a support spring is provided at the snap-fit ​​groove. One end of the support spring is fixedly connected to the plug connector, and the other end of the support spring abuts against the plug connector plate.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0021] See Figures 1-5 The present invention provides a fermentation bed with an adjustable material spreading mechanism, comprising a fermentation bed body 1 and a substrate inoculator housing 2. A scraper plate 3 is hinged in the middle of the substrate inoculator housing 2. The scraper plate 3 is used to disperse and evenly spread the substrate on the fermentation bed body 1. The fermentation bed body 1 or the walls on both sides are provided with guide rails. The substrate inoculator housing 2 is provided with rollers and a motor is provided on the substrate inoculator housing 2. The motor is connected to the rollers through a belt and is used to drive the substrate inoculator housing 2 to move along the guide rails, thereby controlling the scraper plate 3 to scrape the substrate spread on the fermentation bed body 1.

[0022] An electric push rod is hinged to the upper end face of the scraper plate 3. The top end of the electric push rod is hinged to the shell 2 of the inoculator. When the electric push rod drives the scraper plate 3 to rotate, it can change the angle between the scraper plate 3 and the bedding material, thereby controlling the thickness of the bedding material.

[0023] The main body of the scraper plate 3 is a rectangular plate, and the end of the scraper plate 3 facing the fermentation bed body 1 has an arc-shaped structure, which is used to scrape the bedding material laid on the fermentation bed body 1. The side end of the scraper plate 3 is fixedly connected to the plug plate 15, and the fixed connection method can also be welding, riveting, screwing or gluing, etc.

[0024] Depend on Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the insertion plate 15 has an insertion interface 10 in the middle, and a rake tooth 9 is inserted into the middle of the insertion interface 10. When the rake tooth 9 moves together with the scraper plate 3, it is used to increase the fluffiness of the bedding material. The insertion interface 10 passes through the insertion plate 15, and the side end of the rake tooth 9 is fixedly connected to a connector 11. When the connector 11 is inserted into the insertion interface 10 at different positions, the distance between two adjacent rake teeth 9 can be easily controlled. This allows the spacing between the rake teeth to be flexibly adjusted according to the type, thickness, and fermentation requirements of the bedding material to achieve the best fluffiness effect.

[0025] The connector 11 has an L-shaped structure, forming a locking groove 13 between the connector 11 and the rake teeth 9. The side end of the rake teeth 9 abuts against the top of the connector plate 15 to limit and fix the rake teeth 9 and the connector plate 15, ensuring that the rake teeth 9 are firmly installed on the connector plate 15. When the rake teeth 9 scrape grooves on the padding material, they will not loosen or fall off, ensuring the stability and reliability of the rake teeth during operation. A support spring 12 is provided at the locking groove 13. One end of the support spring 12 is fixedly connected to the connector 11, and the other end of the support spring 12 abuts against the connector plate 15. The support spring 12 supports the rake teeth 9 and keeps the rake teeth 9 tightly against the extrusion plate 6. This allows the rake teeth 9 to adjust the insertion depth when encountering padding materials with different hardness and density, ensuring the fluffiness of the padding material, which is conducive to the growth and fermentation of microorganisms.

[0026] A fixing plate 4 is fixedly connected to the side end of the scraper plate 3. A pressing plate 6 is provided between the fixing plate 4 and the insertion plate 15. The pressing plate 6 is located at the upper end of the rake teeth 9. The pressing plate 6 presses the rake teeth 9 to adjust the height of the rake teeth 9 and control the depth of the rake teeth 9 inserted into the pad material. A handle 14 is fixedly connected to the side end of the rake teeth 9 away from the insertion plate 15. The operator uses the handle 14 to pick up the rake teeth 9 and insert them into the insertion plate 15 to install the rake teeth 9.

[0027] A pressing bolt 8 is threadedly connected to the end of the fixed plate 4 near the pressing plate 6. Both ends of the pressing bolt 8 penetrate the fixed plate 4, and the screw-in end of the pressing bolt 8 abuts against the pressing plate 6. When the pressing bolt 8 rotates, it applies different pressing forces to the pressing plates 6. The end of the fixed plate 4 near the scraper plate 3 is inclined, while the end near the pressing plate 6 is horizontal. At least two guide posts 7 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pressing plate 6, with both ends of the guide posts 7 penetrating the fixed plate 4. The fixed plate 4 guides the movement of the pressing plate 6. After the rake teeth 9 are installed on the insertion plate 15, rotating the pressing bolt 8 changes the screw-in depth of the pressing bolt 8, causing the pressing bolt 8 to press against the pressing plate 6, making the pressing plate 6 move downwards and applying different pressing forces to the rake teeth 9, thus changing the depth to which the rake teeth 9 insert into the padding material and altering the bulkiness of the padding material.

[0028] A limiting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the side end of the scraper plate 3. The limiting plate 5 has a U-shaped structure, and the rake teeth 9 are connected through the middle position of the limiting plate 5 to limit the movement of the rake teeth 9. The presence of the limiting plate enhances the overall structural stability of the equipment, reduces equipment failures and damages that may be caused by rake tooth shaking or displacement, extends the service life of the equipment, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0029] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
