Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed processing technology, specifically a novel feed fermentation device. Background Technology
[0002] In livestock and poultry farming, adding a certain proportion of fermented feed can supplement the digestive tract with probiotics, maintaining the balance of intestinal microorganisms. During fermentation, anti-nutritional factors in the feed (such as polysaccharides, resistant starches, and large protein molecules) can be effectively degraded, turning them into small, digestible nutrients and improving feed utilization. At the same time, certain metabolites produced by the metabolic process of probiotics are beneficial to the metabolism of the livestock and poultry's intestinal health, further enhancing their immunity. Moreover, fermentation makes the feed taste better and more palatable, which helps increase feed intake and thus improves the feed's weight gain performance.
[0003] Currently, most feed fermentation on the market uses wet breathing bag small unit fermentation. This fermentation method has many problems, such as uneven fermentation, inconsistent time, inaccurate temperature, which leads to large differences in the number of beneficial bacteria and easy contamination by other bacteria.
[0004] Therefore, a new type of feed fermentation device is needed, which, with controllable temperature and humidity, can achieve automatic inoculation, automatic incubation, automatic mixing, and continuous timed discharge fermentation by incorporating a turning mechanism. 。 Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0020] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 2 This embodiment of a novel feed fermentation device includes a box body 1, a box cover 2 sealed on the top of the box body 1, an atomizing spray inoculation nozzle 3 and an atomizing spray humidifying nozzle 4 respectively installed on the inner walls of both sides of the box cover 2, a main controller 5 installed on the inner wall of the box body 1 near the top, multiple sets of steam heating pipes 6 are installed at intervals on the inner walls of both sides of the box body 1, a humidity controller 7 and a temperature controller 8 are distributed on the inner walls of both sides of the middle of the box body 1, and the bottom of the box body 1 is integrally formed into an inverted cone structure, with a discharge and packaging port 14 provided on the inverted cone structure at the bottom of the box body 1;
[0021] Furthermore, multiple sets of turning mechanisms are symmetrically installed on the inner walls of both sides of the box 1. Each set of turning mechanisms is equipped with an inoculation layer and three fermentation layers. The turning mechanism is composed of an L fixed plate 9, a sealing motor 10, a connecting block 11, a material support plate 12 and a material support trough 13, and is used to drive each set of material support plates 12 to turn the batch of materials at regular intervals.
[0022] Furthermore, multiple sets of L-fixing plates 9 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the housing 1 at intervals. A sealing motor 10 is installed on one side of the L-fixing plate 9, and the output end of the sealing motor 10 passes through the L-fixing plate 9. Each set of sealing motor 10 has a connecting block 11 installed on its output end through a bearing, and multiple sets of connecting blocks 11 are distributed on the other side of each set of L-fixing plates 9.
[0023] Furthermore, each set of material support plates 12 is fixedly connected to two sets of horizontally arranged connecting blocks 11 at both ends. According to the internal cavity space of the box 1, four sets of material support plates 12 are arranged from top to bottom. The top of each set of material support plates 12 is integrally formed with multiple sets of material support grooves 13. The four sets of material support plates 12 form an inoculation layer, a first fermentation layer, a second fermentation layer and a third fermentation layer from top to bottom.
[0024] Specifically, the main controller 5 is electrically connected to the atomizing spray inoculation nozzle 3 and the sealing motor 10 respectively. The humidity controller 7 is used to control the atomizing spray moisturizing nozzle 4, and the temperature controller 8 is used to control the steam heating pipe 6. When feed fermentation is required, the staff sets the working program of the overall fermentation device through the main controller 5, sets the corresponding temperature and humidity in the fermentation stage of the box 1, and stabilizes the temperature in the box 1 at the required fermentation temperature through the steam heating pipe 6. At this time, the opening of the material receiving trough 13 on the material receiving plate 12 is upward.
[0025] Specifically, the main controller 5 controls the atomizing spray inoculation nozzle 3 to spray the fermentation strain into the material receiving tank 13 of the first layer material receiving plate 12 (inoculation layer). If the humidity controller 7 detects insufficient humidity during the fermentation process, it will control the atomizing spray moisturizing nozzle 4 to spray, increase the humidity required for fermentation in the chamber 1, and ensure that the chamber 1 maintains a constant temperature and humidity fermentation environment.
[0026] Specifically, after the set fermentation time is reached, the main controller 5 controls the output end of the first set of sealing motors 10 to rotate. The output end of the sealing motors 10 drives the connecting block 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the first layer of the material support plate 12 (inoculation layer) to flip downward. This allows the feed fermentation strains on the inoculation layer to be placed into the material support trough 13 on the second layer of the material support plate 12 (one fermentation layer) for fermentation. Then, the first set of sealing motors 10 is controlled to drive the inoculation layer to flip upward through the connecting block 11, ensuring that the opening of the material support trough 13 on the inoculation layer is facing upward. This is combined with the atomizing spray inoculation nozzle 3 to receive the next batch of sprayed fermentation strains. At this time, the feed in the fermentation layer ferments synchronously.
[0027] Specifically, when the feed on the second layer of the support plate 12 (first fermentation layer) reaches the fermentation time, the main controller 5 controls the second set of sealing motors 10 to drive the first fermentation layer to flip downwards, so that the fermented feed on the first fermentation layer can be put onto the third layer of the support plate 12 (second fermentation layer) for fermentation, and then the main controller 5 controls the second set of sealing motors 10 to drive the first fermentation layer to flip upwards.
[0028] Similarly, when the feed on the fourth layer of the receiving plate 12 (three fermentation layers) reaches the fermentation time, the main controller 5 controls the fourth set of sealing motors 10 to drive the three fermentation layers to flip downwards, so that the fermented feed on the three fermentation layers can be put into the bottom of the box 1. Through the inverted cone structure set at the bottom of the box 1, the feed can be put into the discharge packaging port 14. The fermented feed is discharged and collected through the discharge packaging port 14, and then the main controller 5 controls the fourth set of sealing motors 10 to drive the three fermentation layers to flip upwards to receive the next batch of fermented feed.
[0029] Working principle: According to the set working program, a constant temperature and humidity fermentation environment is maintained in the chamber 1. With the timed spraying of the atomizing spray inoculation nozzle 3, the fermentation strains are evenly and quantitatively inoculated. With the material receiving plates 12 of the inoculation layer, the first fermentation layer, the second fermentation layer and the third fermentation layer controlled by the flipping mechanism, the fermentation material in the upper layer can be automatically transferred to the lower layer to continue fermentation. It can be carried out in batches continuously to achieve multiple batches of material output per day.
[0030] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
