Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed processing technology, and in particular to a highly efficient and safe feed sterilization device. Background Technology
[0002] Feed processing is the process of transforming various feed ingredients into products suitable for livestock and poultry through a series of scientific treatments. This process begins with strict screening of raw materials, including energy ingredients such as corn and wheat, and protein ingredients such as soybean meal and fishmeal, to ensure their quality. Next, the raw materials are crushed using crushing equipment to achieve appropriate particle size. Then, based on the nutritional needs of different animals, precise proportioning devices are used to scientifically formulate the feed, adding minerals, vitamins, and other additives. Finally, the feed is thoroughly mixed using mixing equipment. In the feed processing process, sterilization is crucial. Feed ingredients are easily contaminated by bacteria, molds, and other microorganisms during planting, harvesting, and transportation. If sterilization is not carried out, the proliferation of microorganisms will lead to feed spoilage, mold, and decay, affecting quality and taste. It will also consume nutrients, produce toxic and harmful substances, and endanger animal health.
[0003] However, in the feed processing sterilization process, when ultraviolet irradiation is used, the feed is piled up and the inner feed is blocked by the outer layer, making it difficult for ultraviolet rays to penetrate. As a result, the deep feed cannot be fully irradiated, and the sterilization effect is greatly reduced. The hidden microorganisms are prone to causing feed deterioration and mold growth in the future. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem in the existing technology that, during the sterilization process of feed processing, when ultraviolet irradiation is used, the inner feed is blocked by the outer layer due to feed accumulation, making it difficult for ultraviolet rays to penetrate. As a result, the deep feed cannot be fully irradiated, the sterilization effect is greatly reduced, and the latent microorganisms are prone to causing feed deterioration and mold growth in the future. Therefore, this invention proposes a highly efficient and safe feed sterilization device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a highly efficient and safe feed sterilization device, comprising a sterilization tank, with rotating shafts fixedly connected to both ends of the sterilization tank, a support provided at the bottom of the sterilization tank, the support being rotatably connected to the rotating shafts, a bracket fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sterilization tank, an ultraviolet lamp fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bracket, a hopper fixedly connected to one side of the sterilization tank, the hopper being connected to the sterilization tank, a DC motor fixedly connected to one side of the sterilization tank, the drive end of the DC motor passing through the sterilization tank and fixedly connected to a rocker arm, and a pusher plate fixedly connected to the surface of the rocker arm.
[0006] Preferably, an arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the pusher plate, and the ultraviolet lamp is located above the pusher plate. By setting the pusher plate, the pusher plate is continuously rotated under the drive of the DC motor and rocker arm, which can break the possible accumulation state of feed raw materials after they are poured into the sterilization tank, allowing the feed to be fully turned over, reducing the amount of feed inside that cannot be irradiated by ultraviolet light due to being blocked by the outer layer, so that each part of the feed can have an equal opportunity to be sterilized by ultraviolet light, significantly improving the uniformity and comprehensiveness of sterilization, and ensuring the quality and safety of feed.
[0007] Preferably, a fixed frame is fixedly connected to the support, and a servo motor is fixedly connected to the fixed frame. By setting the servo motor, the servo motor drives the gear to rotate. Through cooperation with the drive ring, it can accurately drive the sterilization tank to tilt and rotate. This function allows the raw materials in the sterilization tank to be poured out smoothly after the feed has been sterilized, realizing automatic unloading. This facilitates the subsequent collection and processing of sterilized feed and improves the automation level and production efficiency of the entire feed processing process.
[0008] Preferably, the upper surface of the sterilization tank is fixedly connected with a barrier, and there are two barriers arranged symmetrically.
[0009] Preferably, a gear is fixedly connected to the drive end of the servo motor, and a drive ring is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sterilization tank. By setting the gear, the gear serves as the power transmission medium between the servo motor and the sterilization tank. The power output by the servo motor is transmitted to the drive ring connected to the sterilization tank through the rotation of the drive gear.
[0010] Preferably, the drive ring is semi-circular in shape, and the surface of the drive ring is provided with teeth. By setting the drive ring, the drive ring plays the role of connecting the sterilization tank and the gear transmission system. It is usually fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sterilization tank and cooperates with the gear.
[0011] Preferably, the gear is located directly below the drive ring, and the gear is meshed with the drive ring.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] In this invention, when in use, feed ingredients are poured into the sterilization tank through the hopper. At this time, the ultraviolet lamp and DC motor are turned on. The DC motor drives the rocker arm to rotate. While the rocker arm rotates, it drives the pusher plate to rotate continuously. While the pusher plate rotates, it continuously turns the raw materials. The ultraviolet lamp can then irradiate and sterilize. After sterilization is completed, the servo motor drives the gear to rotate. While the gear rotates, it works with the drive ring to turn the sterilization tank and tilt it, so that the raw materials in the sterilization tank can be poured out.
[0014] By incorporating this invention, during the sterilization process, a DC motor drives a rocker arm to agitate the feed plate, allowing the feed to be exposed to the ultraviolet lamp in a comprehensive and uniform manner. This effectively reduces the problem of insufficient sterilization caused by feed accumulation, greatly improves the sterilization effect, ensures feed quality, and reduces the risk of feed spoilage due to microbial growth. The operation is simple and efficient, eliminating the need for manual unloading, saving manpower, reducing secondary contamination that may result from human contact, improving production efficiency, accelerating the feed processing flow, and facilitating large-scale production.

A hopper 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the sterilization tank 1, and the hopper 6 is connected to the sterilization tank 1. A DC motor 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the sterilization tank 1. The drive end of the DC motor 12 passes through the sterilization tank 1 and is fixedly connected to a rocker arm 14. A pusher plate 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rocker arm 14.
[0023] Specifically, an arc-shaped plate 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the pusher plate 13. The arc-shaped plate 15 is set on both sides of the pusher plate 13. The arc-shaped plate 15 and the pusher plate 13 are combined to form a Z-shaped structure. The arc-shaped plate 15 and the pusher plate 13 cooperate to rotate inside the sterilization tank 1. The ultraviolet lamp 4 is located above the pusher plate 13. By setting the pusher plate 13, the pusher plate 13 is continuously rotated under the drive of the DC motor 12 and the rocker arm 14. This can break the possible accumulation state of feed raw materials after they are poured into the sterilization tank 1, allowing the feed to be fully turned over. This reduces the amount of feed inside that cannot be irradiated by ultraviolet light due to being blocked by the outer layer, so that every part of the feed can have an equal opportunity to be sterilized by ultraviolet light, significantly improving the uniformity and comprehensiveness of sterilization, and ensuring the quality and safety of the feed.
[0024] Specifically, a fixed frame 9 is fixedly connected to the support 2, and a servo motor 10 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 9. By setting the servo motor 10, the servo motor 10 drives the gear 11 to rotate. Through cooperation with the drive ring 8, it can accurately drive the sterilization tank 1 to tilt. This function allows the raw materials in the sterilization tank 1 to be poured out smoothly after the feed has been sterilized, realizing automatic unloading. This facilitates the subsequent collection and processing of sterilized feed, and improves the automation level and production efficiency of the entire feed processing process.
[0025] Specifically, the upper surface of the sterilization tank 1 is fixedly connected with a baffle 5. There are two baffles 5, which are arranged symmetrically.
[0026] Specifically, a gear 11 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the servo motor 10, and a drive ring 8 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sterilization tank 1.
[0027] In this embodiment: by setting gear 11, gear 11 is the power transmission medium between servo motor 10 and sterilization tank 1. The power output by servo motor 10 drives gear 11 to rotate, and then transmits the power to drive ring 8 connected to sterilization tank 1.
[0028] Specifically, the drive ring 8 is semi-circular, and the surface of the drive ring 8 has retaining teeth.
[0029] In this embodiment: by setting the drive ring 8, the drive ring 8 plays the role of connecting the sterilization tank 1 and the gear 11 transmission system. It is usually fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sterilization tank 1, and at the same time cooperates with the gear 11.
[0030] Specifically, gear 11 is located directly below drive ring 8, and gear 11 is meshed with drive ring 8.
[0031] Working Principle: During use, feed ingredients are poured into sterilization tank 1 through hopper 6. At this time, ultraviolet lamp 4 and DC motor 12 are turned on. DC motor 12 drives rocker arm 14 to rotate. While rocker arm 14 rotates, it drives pusher plate 13 to continuously flip. Pusher plate 13 flips while continuously turning the raw materials, and ultraviolet lamp 4 can irradiate and sterilize. After sterilization, servo motor 10 drives gear 11 to rotate. While gear 11 rotates, it works with drive ring 8 to turn sterilization tank 1 and tilt, so that the raw materials in sterilization tank 1 can be poured out. By setting up this utility model, in the sterilization process, DC motor 12 drives rocker arm 14 to drive pusher plate 13 to turn the raw materials, so that the feed can be exposed to ultraviolet lamp 4 in all directions and evenly. This effectively reduces the problem of insufficient sterilization caused by feed accumulation, greatly improves the sterilization effect, ensures feed quality, and reduces the risk of feed deterioration due to microbial growth. The operation is simple and efficient, and there is no need for manual unloading. It saves manpower, reduces secondary pollution that may be caused by manual contact, improves production efficiency, speeds up the feed processing process, and is conducive to large-scale production.
