Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feed additive production technology, and specifically relates to a disinfection device for feed additive production. Background Technology
[0002] Feed additives are materials mixed with feed, and their functions include enhancing the nutritional value of the basic feed, regulating the intestinal flora of animals, and improving their disease resistance. However, unsterilized feed additives may carry pathogenic microorganisms such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli, which may lead to increased morbidity and mortality in animals after being fed them. Therefore, a sterilization step must be included in the standardized production process of feed additives.
[0003] Existing sterilization methods for feed additive production mainly include ultraviolet (UV) radiation and high-temperature sterilization. UV radiation coverage is limited by the size of the UV lamp, while high-temperature steam can cover a larger sterilization area and is easier to control, thus achieving a faster and more efficient sterilization effect, suitable for sterilizing large quantities of feed additives. However, in actual operation, large quantities of feed additives piled together prevent high-temperature steam from freely circulating among the feed, leading to uneven heating and incomplete sterilization. Furthermore, localized accumulation of high-temperature steam can cause overheating and deactivation of the feed additives. To address these issues, this invention proposes a sterilization device for feed additive production. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sterilization device for the production of feed additives in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0006] This utility model provides a sterilization device for feed additive production, including a processing tank and a sealing cover located above the processing tank. An air inlet pipe is installed through the center of the sealing cover. The air inlet pipe is equipped with a rotary drive component, and a steam supply component is connected to the air inlet of the air inlet pipe. A diverter is provided below the air inlet pipe, and a stirring pipe is provided on the diverter. The stirring pipe has evenly distributed exhaust holes.
[0007] As a further optimization of this utility model, the steam supply assembly includes a heating water tank located outside the processing tank, a connecting pipe located above the air inlet pipe, and a conduit for connecting the heating water tank and the air inlet pipe. The air inlet pipe is mounted on the sealing cover by a bracket and is rotatably connected to the air inlet pipe.
[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, the side wall of the processing tank has a cavity structure, and exhaust grooves are provided on both the inner and outer side walls.
[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, the exhaust groove on the inner wall of the processing tank is a horizontal groove covered by a filter screen, and the exhaust groove on the outer wall of the processing tank is a vertical groove covered by an elastic baffle, which includes two symmetrically fitted baffles.
[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, the sealing cover has a feed inlet and a sliding cover that cooperates with the feed inlet, and the sealing cover has a sliding groove that cooperates with the sliding cover.
[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, the stirring tube includes several tubes that are evenly distributed in the inner cavity of the processing tank.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] This utility model relates to a sterilization device for feed additive production. Through the cooperation of a steam supply component with a rotatable air inlet pipe, a diverter, and a stirring pipe, it achieves the effect of simultaneously stirring the feed piled up in the processing tank and injecting high-temperature steam into the feed. This allows the high-temperature steam to be evenly distributed among the feed, ensuring that all the high-temperature feed piled up in the processing tank can be evenly heated. It also avoids the problem of some feed being overheated and becoming ineffective, thus achieving a highly efficient and thorough sterilization effect for large-scale stockpiling of feed additives.

[0020] The present application will now be described in further detail. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the sterilization device for feed additive production in this embodiment includes a processing tank 1 and a sealing cover 2 located above the processing tank 1. The bottom of the processing tank 1 has a bucket-shaped structure and is equipped with a rotatable sealing plug. An air inlet pipe 4 is installed through the center of the sealing cover 2. The air inlet pipe 4 is equipped with a rotary drive component, and a steam supply component is connected to the air inlet of the air inlet pipe 4. A diverter 7 is provided below the air inlet pipe 4, and a stirring pipe 8 is provided on the diverter 7. The stirring pipe 8 has evenly distributed exhaust holes.
[0023] The sealing cover 2 has a feed inlet and a sliding cover 3 that cooperates with the feed inlet, and the sealing cover 2 has a sliding groove that cooperates with the sliding cover 3.
[0024] In this embodiment, the rotation drive of the air intake pipe 4 is achieved by the combination of a gear ring 5, a gear, and a servo motor. The gear ring 5 is sleeved on the air intake pipe 4 and meshes with the gear. The entire assembly formed by the gear and the servo motor is mounted on the sealing cover 2.
[0025] When using this disinfection device, first slide open the sliding cover 3, add the feed additive into the processing tank 1 through the feed inlet, close the sliding cover 3, and then turn on the steam supply component. The high-temperature steam output from the steam supply component passes through the air inlet pipe 4, the distributor 7, and the stirring pipe 8 in sequence and mixes into the feed compartment to perform high-temperature disinfection on the feed. During the high-temperature disinfection process, the servo motor is turned on, causing the gear to drive the entire assembly consisting of the gear ring 5, the air inlet pipe 4, the distributor 7, and the stirring pipe 8 to rotate. This allows the rotating stirring pipe 8 to not only inject high-temperature steam into all directions of the feed compartment but also continuously stir the feed, further improving the uniformity of heating and thus enhancing the disinfection efficiency.
[0026] Preferably, the steam supply assembly includes a heating water tank 9 located outside the processing tank 1, a connecting pipe 6 located above the air inlet pipe 4, and a conduit 10 for connecting the heating water tank 9 and the air inlet pipe 4. The conduit 10 is preferably a flexible hose. The air inlet pipe 4 is mounted on the sealing cover 2 via a bracket and is rotatably connected to the air inlet pipe 4. In this embodiment, the heating water tank 9 includes a tank body and a heating base, which is conventional technology and does not involve protection. The high-temperature steam generated in the heating water tank 9 passes sequentially through the conduit 10 and the connecting pipe 6 into the air inlet pipe 4.
[0027] Preferably, the sidewall of the processing tank 1 has a cavity structure, and exhaust grooves are provided on both the inner and outer sidewalls. After the high-temperature steam gradually fills the processing tank 1, the excess high-temperature steam passes through the inner exhaust groove and enters the sidewall of the processing tank 1, and finally exits from the outer exhaust groove. In this way, the high-temperature steam can not only directly contact the feed to exert a high-temperature effect, but also fill the sidewall of the processing tank 1 to keep the inner cavity of the processing tank 1 warm, so as to make full use of the heat of the high-temperature steam.
[0028] Preferably, the exhaust groove on the inner wall of the processing tank 1 is a horizontal groove covered by the filter screen 11, and the exhaust groove on the outer wall of the processing tank 1 is a vertical groove covered by the elastic baffle 12. The elastic baffle 12 includes two symmetrically fitted pieces. The filter screen 11 can block the feed particles. The elastic baffle 12 is preferably made of silicone. Under normal conditions, the middle sections of the two elastic baffles 12 are fitted together to achieve a sealing effect. As the gas pressure gradually increases, the fitted parts of the two elastic baffles 12 will be forced open by the gas pressure and open under the action of the airflow to achieve exhaust. This can ensure the gas filling conditions in the processing tank 1 and allow the gas to remain in the processing tank 1 for a long time.
[0029] Preferably, the stirring tube 8 includes several uniformly distributed in the inner cavity of the processing tank 1. In this embodiment, a stirring tube 8 is connected directly below the diverter 7, and several stirring tubes 8 arranged in a ring array are also connected to the outside of the diverter 7. Steam can be injected from both the inside and outside into the feed compartment accumulated in the processing tank 1.
[0030] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
