Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of granulator technology, specifically an adjustable organic fertilizer granulator. Background Technology

[0002] Organic fertilizer is a type of fertilizer made from natural organic matter through anaerobic fermentation or composting. It primarily originates from plants and animals, and its main function, when applied to the soil, is to provide nutrients to plants. Processed from biological matter, animal and plant waste, and plant residues, it eliminates toxic and harmful substances while being rich in beneficial substances. An organic fertilizer granulator is a type of granulator used to granulate various fermented organic materials.

[0003] Existing technology, such as publication number CN219540231U, provides an organic fertilizer granulator, which includes a material cylinder. A stepper motor is bolted to the middle of one end of the material cylinder. A first spiral shaft is provided at the output end of the stepper motor. A feed pipe is provided on one side of the upper end of the material cylinder, and a feed hopper is provided inside the feed pipe. The structural design of the material cylinder, first connector, second connector, stepper motor, first spiral shaft, connecting sleeve, scraper, and second spiral shaft allows the first spiral shaft, connecting sleeve, scraper, and second spiral shaft of the granulator to be driven by the same stepper motor, which has good linkage. Using only one stepper motor for driving operation can also effectively reduce the energy consumption of the granulator. The granulator granulates by extruding materials, which is not easy to clog. The production of organic fertilizer granules of different sizes can be achieved by changing the first connector and the second connector, which is very convenient.

[0004] The size of organic fertilizer particles directly affects the rate and uniformity of nutrient release in the soil. Uniformly sized particles decompose and release nutrients more consistently in the soil. If the particles are of inconsistent size, smaller particles may decompose and release nutrients rapidly, while larger particles decompose slowly, leading to an uneven nutrient supply in the soil. For example, in flower cultivation, this uneven nutrient release can cause problems such as poor growth and shortened flowering periods. Therefore, organic fertilizer granulation not only requires uniform particle size but also necessitates the production of particles of different sizes for different application scenarios. While the current solution allows for the production of organic fertilizer particles of different sizes by changing the first and second connectors, the actual operation is cumbersome. Furthermore, this solution uses a screw extrusion method, and since the particles are extruded from one side of the connector under pressure, the particles may not be compact enough and are prone to breakage. Therefore, we propose an adjustable organic fertilizer granulator. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable organic fertilizer granulator, which solves the problem that the granules may not be compacted enough and are easy to break because the granules are squeezed out from one side by pressure from the connector.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An adjustable organic fertilizer granulator includes a conveying pipe, an auger rotatably connected to the inner wall of the conveying pipe, a motor for driving the auger to rotate fixedly connected to one end of the back of the conveying pipe, a support fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveying pipe, a feed inlet fixedly connected to the top of the conveying pipe, and an adjustment mechanism provided on the front of the conveying pipe.

[0008] The adjusting mechanism includes a connecting ring, which is fixedly connected to one end of the front of the conveying pipe. The connecting ring is provided with a pelletizing plate, which is fixedly connected to the connecting ring through a connecting frame. The pelletizing plate has pelletizing holes, which are divided into four fan-shaped areas above the pelletizing plate. The diameters of the pelletizing holes in the four fan-shaped areas are different and are distributed in a clockwise direction from large to small in each fan-shaped area. A baffle is rotatably connected between the pelletizing plate and the connecting ring, and the baffle is in contact with the back of the pelletizing plate. A quarter-circle fan-shaped notch is provided on the baffle. A pelletizing mechanism is provided on the front of the pelletizing plate.

[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the baffle is connected to a rotating ring, and the outer wall of the rotating ring has multiple insertion holes for inserting levers.

[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the rotating ring is fixedly connected with four sets of positioning buckles, which are distributed in a circular array, and the outer wall of the connecting ring is fixedly connected with a positioning block corresponding to the position of each set of positioning buckles.

[0011] Preferably, the pelletizing mechanism includes a pelletizing plate that is in contact with the front of the extrusion plate. The pelletizing plate is connected to multiple sets of cutting blades, and each set of cutting blades corresponds to each row of extrusion holes.

[0012] Preferably, support plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the pelletizing plate, and support blocks are fixedly connected to the upper and lower positions of the front of each support plate. Limiting posts are fixedly connected between the two support blocks on the front of the support plate, and sliding buckles are slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting posts. The sliding buckles are fixedly connected to the side of the pelletizing plate corresponding to the pelletizing plate.

[0013] Preferably, a spring is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting post at the position above the sliding buckle for resetting the sliding buckle.

[0014] Preferably, a cam is rotatably connected to the front of the pelletizing plate, and the cam is fixedly connected to one end of the auger via a rotating shaft. A top block is fixedly connected to the front of the pelletizing plate above the cam.

[0015] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model provides an adjustable organic fertilizer granulator. It possesses at least the following beneficial effects:

[0016] I. This utility model, through the setting of an adjustment mechanism, pours material into the conveying pipe from the feed inlet. The motor drives the auger to rotate, facilitating the material conveying. When the material gathers in the connecting ring area, a certain extrusion pressure is formed, and the material is extruded from the extrusion holes on the extrusion plate to form material strips for easy granulation. Since the extrusion holes above the extrusion plate are divided into four fan-shaped areas, and the diameters of the extrusion holes in the four fan-shaped areas are not the same, they are distributed in each fan-shaped area from large to small in a clockwise direction. When the particle size needs to be adjusted, a steel pipe is inserted into the insertion hole to facilitate the rotation of the rotating ring, causing the baffle to rotate as well. The baffle blocks the extrusion holes on the extrusion plate in areas that do not meet the granulation size requirements, thus facilitating the extrusion of the required particle size.

[0017] II. This utility model utilizes the reciprocating linear motion of the pelletizing plate. As the pelletizing plate moves up and down, it is limited by the sliding buckles on both sides and the limiting posts, allowing the pelletizing plate to slide linearly up and down while adhering to the extrusion plate. When the pelletizing plate is in the initial position, the cutting blade on the pelletizing plate will completely cover the extrusion holes on the extrusion plate. This ensures that when the material is extruded, it is compacted in the extrusion holes because the cutting blade on the pelletizing plate blocks the extrusion holes, thus avoiding the problem of the particles easily breaking due to insufficient compaction.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] An adjustable organic fertilizer granulator, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the system includes a conveying pipe 1, with an auger 11 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the conveying pipe 1. A motor 12 for driving the auger 11 to rotate is fixedly connected to one end of the back of the conveying pipe 1. A support 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveying pipe 1, and a feed inlet 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveying pipe 1. An adjusting mechanism 4 is provided on the front of the conveying pipe 1. The adjusting mechanism 4 includes a connecting ring 41, which is fixedly connected to one end of the front of the conveying pipe 1. A pelletizing plate 42 is provided on the connecting ring 41, and the pelletizing plate 42 is fixedly connected to the connecting ring 41 through a connecting frame 43. Pelletizing holes 421 are provided on the pelletizing plate 42, and the pelletizing holes 421 are divided into four fan-shaped sections above the pelletizing plate 42. The extrusion holes 421 in the four fan-shaped areas have different diameters and are distributed in a clockwise direction from large to small in each fan-shaped area. A baffle 44 is rotatably connected between the extrusion plate 42 and the connecting ring 41, and the baffle 44 is in contact with the back of the extrusion plate 42. A quarter-circle fan-shaped notch is opened on the baffle 44. A pelletizing mechanism 5 is provided on the front of the extrusion plate 42. A rotating ring 45 is connected to the outer wall of the baffle 44. The outer wall of the rotating ring 45 has multiple insertion holes 46 for inserting levers. Four sets of positioning buckles 47 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating ring 45 and are distributed in a ring array. A positioning block 48 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting ring 41 corresponding to the position of each set of positioning buckles 47.

[0027] In this embodiment, by setting an adjustment mechanism 4, the material is poured into the conveying pipe 1 from the feed port 3. The motor 12 drives the auger 11 to rotate to facilitate the conveying of the material. When the material gathers in the area of ​​the connecting ring 41, a certain extrusion pressure is formed, and the material is squeezed out from the extrusion hole 421 on the extrusion plate 42 to form a material strip for easy granulation. Since the extrusion hole 421 is divided into four fan-shaped areas above the extrusion plate 42, and the hole diameters of the extrusion holes 421 in the four fan-shaped areas are not the same, they are distributed in each fan-shaped area from large to small in a clockwise direction. When the particle size needs to be adjusted, the steel pipe is inserted into the insertion hole 46 to facilitate the rotation of the rotating ring 45, so that the baffle 44 rotates together, so that the baffle 44 blocks the extrusion hole 421 on the extrusion plate 42 that does not meet the granulation size area, so as to facilitate the extrusion of the required particle size.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the pelletizing mechanism 5 includes a pelletizing plate 51, which is in contact with the front of the extrusion plate 42. Multiple sets of cutting blades are connected to the pelletizing plate 51, and each set of cutting blades corresponds to each row of extrusion holes 421. Support plates 52 are fixedly connected to both sides of the extrusion plate 42, and support blocks 53 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower positions of the front of each support plate 52. Limiting posts 54 are fixedly connected between the two support blocks 53 on the front of the support plate 52, and sliding buckles 55 are slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting posts 54. The sliding buckles 55 are fixedly connected to the corresponding side of the pelletizing plate 51.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the pelletizing plate 51 moves up and down, it is limited by the sliding buckles 55 on both sides and the limiting post 54, so that the pelletizing plate 51 can slide up and down in a straight line while in contact with the extrusion plate 42. When the pelletizing plate 51 is in the initial position, the cutting blade on the pelletizing plate 51 will completely cover the extrusion hole 421 on the extrusion plate 42. When the material at the extrusion hole 421 is extruded, the material is compacted in the extrusion hole 421 because the cutting blade on the pelletizing plate 51 blocks the extrusion hole 421, so as to avoid the problem of the particles being easily broken due to insufficient compaction.

[0031] Example 3

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, a spring 56 is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting post 54 above the sliding buckle 55 for resetting the sliding buckle 55. A cam 58 is rotatably connected to the front of the extrusion plate 42, and the cam 58 is fixedly connected to one end of the auger 11 through the rotating shaft 57. A top block 59 is fixedly connected to the front of the pelletizing plate 51 above the cam 58.

[0033] In this embodiment, as the auger 11 rotates, the cam 58 will rotate along with it via the shaft 57. Each time the protruding area of ​​the cam 58 rotates to the position of the top block 59, it will lift the top block 59 together with the pelletizing plate 51. When the protruding area of ​​the cam 58 leaves the top block 59, the pelletizing plate 51 will reset under its own weight and the tension of the spring 56, causing the pelletizing plate 51 to perform a reciprocating motion in a straight line from bottom to top.

[0034] In use, the adjustable organic fertilizer granulator of this utility model pours material into the conveying pipe 1 through the feed inlet 3. The motor 12 drives the auger 11 to rotate, facilitating the material conveying. When the material gathers in the area of ​​the connecting ring 41, a certain extrusion pressure is formed, and the material is extruded from the extrusion holes 421 on the extrusion plate 42, forming a material strip for easy granulation. Since the extrusion holes 421 above the extrusion plate 42 are divided into four fan-shaped areas with different hole diameters, distributed clockwise from large to small in each fan-shaped area, when the particle size needs to be adjusted, a steel pipe is inserted into the insertion hole 46 to facilitate the rotation of the rotating ring 45, causing the baffle 44 to rotate as well. The baffle 44 blocks the extrusion holes 421 on the extrusion plate 42 that do not meet the granulation size requirements, thus facilitating the extrusion of the desired particle size. Simultaneously with the rotation of the auger 11, the material is extruded through the connecting ring 41. The rotating shaft 57 drives the cam 58 to rotate together, so that each time the cam 58 rotates to the position of the top block 59, it will lift the top block 59 and the pelletizing plate 51 together. When the cam 58 moves away from the top block 59, the pelletizing plate 51 will reset under its own weight and the tension of the spring 56, so that the pelletizing plate 51 will perform a linear reciprocating motion. When the pelletizing plate 51 moves up and down, it is limited by the sliding buckles 55 on both sides and the limiting post 54, so that the pelletizing plate 51 can slide up and down in a straight line while in contact with the extrusion plate 42. When the pelletizing plate 51 is in the initial position, the cutting blade on the pelletizing plate 51 will completely cover the extrusion hole 421 on the extrusion plate 42. When the material at the extrusion hole 421 is extruded, the material is compacted in the extrusion hole 421 because the cutting blade on the pelletizing plate 51 blocks the extrusion hole 421, so as to avoid the problem of easy breakage of the particles due to insufficient compaction.
