Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of alfalfa processing technology, and in particular to a rapid alfalfa dehydration device. Background Technology
[0002] Alfalfa is a widely cultivated perennial legume that can be used as a forage and feed crop, promoting rapid livestock growth and improving production performance. It also boasts good digestibility and nutrient utilization. Furthermore, alfalfa cultivation improves soil structure, fixes atmospheric nitrogen, reduces fertilizer use, and is environmentally friendly.
[0003] After dehydration, alfalfa becomes easier to transport and store. The primary drying method is natural air drying, which requires prolonged exposure to sunlight. Sunlight and air circulation promote moisture evaporation, a process that takes a considerable amount of time and leads to the loss of vitamins, minerals, and some amino acids. This results in a decline in its nutritional quality and affects its commercial value. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that prolonged exposure to sunlight dehydrates alfalfa, leading to a reduction in its nutritional value.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a rapid dehydration device for alfalfa, including a silo body, a sealing plate fastened to the top of the silo body, a rotating motor fixedly installed on one side of the silo body, a plurality of staggered turning rods fixedly installed on the output rod of the rotating motor, drive chambers fixedly installed on both sides of the silo body, a push rod motor fixedly installed inside the drive chamber, a material support plate fixedly installed at the output end of the push rod motor, an inclined groove fixedly installed on the inner wall of the silo body, and the material support plate slidably connected to the inclined groove, and a heating chamber for heating the inside of the silo body connected to one side of the silo body.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, sliding blocks are fixedly provided on both sides of the material support plate, and the inclined groove is provided with a sliding groove for the sliding blocks to slide and connect.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the inclined groove, the material support plate and the inner wall of the silo are set at an inclined angle of 45°.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, a sludge-separating roller is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the silo body, and the sludge-separating roller is located at the material support plate and the inclined groove insertion point.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, an exhaust fan is fixedly installed on one side of the hopper, and a partition is fastened to the inside of the exhaust fan.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the top of the hopper is fixedly connected with multiple protrusions, and the four corners of the sealing plate are provided with grooves for the multiple protrusions to be engaged.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A heating chamber is provided on one side of the silo body, and a rotating motor is fixedly installed on the same side. The output rod of the rotating motor is fixedly equipped with several staggered turning rods, which facilitates the turning of alfalfa and improves dehydration and drying efficiency. The drive chamber drives the material support plate through an internal push rod motor. The inclined trough, material support plate, and inner wall of the silo are set at a 45° angle and are slidably connected by sliding blocks and troughs to ensure rapid discharge and avoid prolonged dehydration that could lead to nutrient loss. Furthermore, a sludge-retaining roller is fixedly installed on the gap between the inclined trough and the material support plate. This roller effectively isolates residue, preventing it from being carried into the drive chamber side and causing blockage when the material support plate retracts. Attached Figure Description

It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and includes one or more of the associated listed items, any or all possible combinations thereof.
[0019] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0020] This utility model provides a rapid dehydration device for alfalfa, including a bin body 1;
[0021] As attached Figure 1-4 As shown, a sealing plate 2 is fastened to the top of the silo body 1; four protruding pillars 11 are fixedly connected to the top of the silo body 1, and grooves for the four protruding pillars 11 to engage are provided at the four corners of the sealing plate 2; the protruding pillars 11 and grooves are provided to improve the stability of the structural connection and facilitate the sealing of subsequent drying and dehydration. A rotating motor 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the silo body 1, and several staggered flipping rods are fixedly installed on the output rod of the rotating motor 3. A drive chamber 4 is fixedly installed on both sides of the silo body 1, and a push rod motor is fixedly installed inside the drive chamber 4. A material support plate 5 is fixedly installed at the output end of the push rod motor. An inclined groove 6 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the silo body 1, and the material support plate 5 is slidably connected to the inclined groove 6; the inclined material support plates 5 on both sides form a V-shaped receiving plate. A heating chamber 7 for heating the silo body 1 is connected to one side of the silo body 1. An OKIN E3 series heat pump dryer is installed in the heating chamber 7, which is suitable for drying and dehydrating small and medium-sized agricultural products, has a high-efficiency heating effect, and ensures uniform temperature distribution. An exhaust fan 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the chamber 1, and a partition 10 is fastened to the inside of the exhaust fan 9; the exhaust fan 9 is used to exhaust the hot air in the chamber, which facilitates the improvement of subsequent work efficiency; during the drying and dehydration process, the partition 10 is used to prevent heat from being lost from the exhaust fan.
[0022] As attached Figure 3 As shown, sliding blocks 8 are fixedly installed on both sides of the material support plate 5, and the inclined groove 6 has a sliding groove for the sliding blocks 8 to slide and connect; the sliding blocks 8 and the sliding groove provide sliding guidance for the material support plate 5 and the inclined groove 6. The inclined groove 6, the material support plate 5 and the inner wall of the bin 1 are set at an inclination angle of 45°; the inclined setting of the material support plate 5 facilitates material discharge and avoids material remaining in the bin 1 for a long time. A sludge-removing roller 12 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bin 1, and the sludge-removing roller 12 is located at the insertion point of the material support plate 5 and the inclined groove 6. That is, the sludge-removing roller 12 is fixedly installed on the side of the gap between the inclined groove 6 and the material support plate 5; when the material support plate 5 retracts, it effectively isolates excessive alfalfa or impurities from being carried into the gap between the inclined groove 6 and the material support plate 5, preventing the device from jamming.
[0023] Working Principle: In practical implementation, alfalfa material is placed inside the silo 1, and the sealing plate 2 is securely connected to the silo 1 via protrusions 11 and grooves. Then, the heating chamber 7 is activated to heat the interior, and the rotating motor 3 is started, causing its output rod to drive several turning rods to tumble the alfalfa material, improving dehydration efficiency. After dehydration, the push rod motors in the two drive chambers 4 are activated, causing the material support plates 5 at their output ends to retract along the inclined groove 6 to both sides of the silo 1, leaving a gap between the two material support plates 5 for the alfalfa material to fall and discharge quickly. Simultaneously, the sludge-retaining roller 12 at the top of the inclined groove 6 isolates the material and residue adhering to the material support plates 5, preventing them from entering the gap between the material support plates 5 and the inclined groove 6.
