Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed processing technology, specifically a feed drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Constipation is a common problem in large-scale pig farms, particularly among sows, and is a significant concern for many pig farmers. Especially in summer, statistics show that approximately 60% of sows experience constipation. Constipation can lead to prolonged farrowing or even dystocia in some sows. In severe cases, it can cause fever, complications such as stillbirth, MMA (mastitis, metritis, agalactia), diarrhea in piglets, and reduced milk production, resulting in lower weaning weights and impacting the farm's economic efficiency. Besides traditional methods like medication, exercise, and environmental improvements, feeding sows green fodder can also help prevent constipation. High-quality green fodder includes sweet potato vines and pumpkin. However, these dietary fiber feeds contain a high moisture content during processing and require drying.
[0003] Traditional feed drying devices can be divided into drum mixing drying devices and conveyor belt drying devices based on the number of users. Conveyor belt drying devices involve spreading feed on a conveyor belt, which then carries the feed through the drying equipment for drying. Finally, a container is used to collect the feed from the conveyor belt. In most cases, the feed is manually or fed onto the conveyor belt of the feed drying device using a large funnel. Firstly, the labor cost is high, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Secondly, the feed may not be evenly distributed. Therefore, we have proposed a new feed drying device.

[0029] In related technologies, traditional feed drying devices mostly rely on manual labor or a large funnel to feed the feed onto the conveyor belt of the feed drying device. Firstly, the labor cost is high, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Secondly, the feed may not be fed evenly.
[0030] In order to solve the problems in the related technologies to a certain extent, this application provides a feed drying device. When needed, a feeding component 2 is set at the head of the conveyor belt 11 to evenly feed the feed to be dried onto the conveyor belt 11.
[0031] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0032] Combination Figures 1-4 This application provides a feed drying device, including a drying device 1; the drying device 1 includes: a dryer 12 disposed on the top of a conveyor belt 11; a discharge port 13 disposed at one end of the conveyor belt 11; a feeding assembly 2 disposed on the drying device 1, the feeding assembly 2 including: a fixed base 21 disposed on the top of the conveyor belt 11; a feeding box 23 disposed on the top of the fixed base 21; a fixing frame 22 disposed on the outer side wall of the feeding box 23 and connected to the fixed base 21; a feeding port 24 disposed at the bottom of the feeding box 23, and a plurality of such ports are provided; a receiving box 25 disposed at the bottom of the feeding port 24 and connected to the fixed base 21.
[0033] In use, feed is first introduced into the feeding box 23. Then, the feed in the feeding box 23 falls through multiple feeding ports 24 at the bottom and into the receiving box 25. Then, it rolls from the receiving box 25 onto the conveyor belt 11 and is dried by the dryer 12. Then, the dried feed is collected by a container at the discharge port 13 at the end of the conveyor belt 11. The feeding box 23 and the receiving box 25 are fixed to the top of the conveyor belt 11 by the fixing base 21, forming a whole with the conveyor belt 11 and the dryer 12, which facilitates the overall movement and reduces the occupation of ground space.
[0034] Specifically, the principles of conveyor belt 11 and dryer 12 can be found in the PLD-21 tunnel oven.
[0035] In some embodiments, the bottom of the fixed base 21 is provided with a retainer 211 that cooperates with the conveyor belt 11, and the top of the fixed base 21 is provided with a fixing groove 221 that cooperates with the fixing frame 22. The fixed base 21 is secured to the edge of the conveyor belt 11 by the retainer 211 and reinforced with bolts. The feeding box 23 is assembled and fixed by inserting the fixing frame 22 into the fixing groove 221 on the top of the fixed base 21, which facilitates the overall disassembly and installation.
[0036] In some embodiments, a stirring rod 26 is rotatably connected inside the feeding box 23, and a motor 261 connected to the stirring rod 26 is provided on the outer wall of the feeding box 23. The stirring rod 26 is driven to rotate by the motor 261, which can break up the feed poured into the feeding box 23 and reduce clumping.
[0037] In some embodiments, a diverter plate 251 is provided inside the receiving box 25. The diverter plate 251 can make the feed roll more evenly on the receiving box 25 onto the conveyor belt 11.
[0038] In some embodiments, a fixing rod 252 is provided at the bottom of the diverter plate 251, and a fixing hole 253 for cooperating with the diverter plate 251 is provided at the top of the receiving box 25. The diverter plate 251 is inserted into the fixing hole 253 at the top of the receiving box 25 through the fixing rod 252 at the bottom, which facilitates installation.
[0039] In some embodiments, a side plate 27 is provided on the top of the conveyor belt 11. The side plate 27 is provided to prevent feed from falling onto the conveyor belt 11 and rolling to the sides of the conveyor belt 11 and falling off.
[0040] In some embodiments, a bracket 271 is provided at the top of the side plate 27, and a locking block 272 is provided at the bottom of the bracket 271, the locking block 272 passing through the fixing base 21. The side plate 27 is inserted into the fixing base 21 by the bracket 271 and the locking block 272, which facilitates assembly and fixation, and the rectangular design of the locking block 272 can also prevent the side plate 27 from rotating.
[0041] In some embodiments, a smoothing plate 273 is provided on the top of the side plate 27, and limiting plates 274 are provided on both sides of the smoothing plate 273. When feed accumulates, it is smoothed by the smoothing plate 273, which increases the drying speed of the feed. The smoothing plate 273 is also secured to the top of the side plate 27 by the limiting plates 274, which facilitates installation and disassembly.
