Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of feed processing equipment, and more particularly to a feed sugar addition device. Background Technology
[0002] Adding an appropriate amount of sugar to feed can increase its energy density and palatability, thereby improving animal feed intake and nutrient absorption. As easily digestible carbohydrates, sugar provides animals with readily available energy, promoting their growth and development. Current technology uses pumps to draw sugar solution stored in tanks into a mixer for mixing.
[0003] In existing technologies, there is a certain length of transmission pipeline between the mixer and the storage tank. Sugar tends to condense on the inner wall of the transmission pipeline, which reduces the flow rate and may even cause pipeline blockage, thus significantly affecting the processing progress of feed products. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this solution provides a feed sugar addition device, which solves the problem that sugar condensation in the transmission pipeline affects the flow rate of the pipeline and thus the processing progress of feed products.
[0005] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a feed sugar addition device includes a first filter tank for temporarily storing sugar solution. The first filter tank is a hollow inverted cone-shaped component with a feed inlet at its top. A first heating tube for heating the sugar solution is disposed inside the first filter tank. The first heating tube is a spiral component, and one end of the first heating tube is connected to a steam generator for generating water vapor. A first discharge pipe for discharging the sugar solution is disposed at the bottom of the first filter tank. A heat insulation pipe is coaxially sleeved on the first discharge pipe, and the heat insulation pipe is connected to the other end of the first heating tube.
[0006] The above technical solution utilizes a first heating tube to introduce steam generated by a steam generator to heat the sugar solution, thereby maintaining a high temperature during the flow of the sugar solution. This prevents the sugar solution from condensing inside the pipe and reduces the possibility of affecting the feed production progress due to sugar solution condensing on the inner wall of the pipe.
[0007] Preferably, it also includes a second filter tank for temporarily storing sugar solution. The second filter tank is used to store the sugar solution transported by the first discharge pipe. The second filter tank includes a storage tank and a fixed plate disposed on its top. A filter groove is disposed in the middle of the fixed plate. The bottom of the filter groove is lower than the fixed plate. A spiral second heating pipe is disposed inside the storage tank. The second heating pipe is fixed on the fixed plate and is connected to the heat preservation pipe. A second discharge pipe is installed at the bottom of the storage tank.
[0008] Through the above technical solutions, the sugar solution can be filtered using a second filter tank to separate large-diameter residues, thereby further improving the palatability of the processed feed.
[0009] Preferably, an insulation pipe is coaxially arranged on the second discharge pipe, and the insulation pipe is connected to the second heating pipe. A drain valve is provided at the farthest end of the insulation pipe.
[0010] The above technical solutions allow for the drainage of condensate formed inside the insulation pipe using a drain valve, thereby improving the insulation and heating effect of the insulation pipe and enhancing the reliability of the device.
[0011] Preferably, at least three support columns are fixed on the fixed plate facing the ground, the fixed plate and the storage tank are spaced apart in the vertical direction, and an electronic weighing device is installed between the fixed plate and the storage tank.
[0012] By using the above technical solution, an electronic weighing device installed between the storage tank and the fixed plate can be used to conveniently weigh the filtered sugar, so as to facilitate the addition of the appropriate weight of sugar in the feed formulation, making the feed processing process more convenient.
[0013] Preferably, the filter tank is located inside the spiral of the second heating tube.
[0014] By using the above technical solutions, the filter tank is placed inside the spiral of the second heating tube, which can maintain a suitable temperature in the filter tank, further reducing the possibility of sugar solidifying in the filter tank and causing blockage, and further improving the reliability of the device.
[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the first filter tank is provided with a filter screen for filtering sugar solution, and the first discharge pipe is located inside the filter screen.
[0016] The above technical solution utilizes a filter screen located at the bottom of the first filter tank to filter the sugar solution, reducing the amount of residue mixed into the feed.
[0017] Preferably, both the first and second filter tanks are equipped with discharge valves for slag removal at their bottoms.
[0018] Using the above technical solutions, some residue will still remain in the filtered sugar solution. After it settles at the bottom of the first and / or second filter tanks, the discharge valve is opened, and the residue can be discharged under the action of gravity, which facilitates the cleaning of the device and improves its practicality.
[0019] Preferably, pumps are installed on both the first and second discharge pipes to increase the fluid kinetic energy of the sugar solution.
[0020] By utilizing the pumps installed on the first and second discharge pipes, the fluid kinetic energy of the transported sugar solution can be increased, allowing the sugar solution to be transported to a more distant location for processing as needed, thus improving the practicality of the device.
[0021] Preferably, the end of the second discharge pipe furthest from the storage tank is equipped with a nozzle for spraying sugar water.
[0022] Through the above technical solution, the spray nozzle installed on the second discharge pipe can be used to spray the sugar solution evenly, so that the sugar can be mixed more evenly into the raw materials.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial effects:
[0024] 1. When adding sugar solution to feed ingredients using this device, the sugar can be kept at a suitable temperature, reducing the possibility of sugar solution condensation in the transmission pipeline, keeping the transmission pipeline unobstructed, reducing the possibility of the pipeline inner diameter becoming smaller or even blocked, and reducing the impact on the feed product processing progress.
[0025] 2. By using the filter screens and filter tanks installed in the first and second filter tanks, the residue mixed in the sugar solution can be filtered out, thereby improving the purity of the sugar solution and further increasing the palatability of the produced feed.
[0026] 3. By utilizing the discharge valves located at the bottom of the first and second filter tanks, the sludge generated by gravity sedimentation can be easily discharged, making the cleaning process of the device more convenient and faster, and improving the practicality of the device.

[0050] The implementation principle of the feed sugar addition device in this application is as follows:
[0051] The device is started to pump the sugar solution into the first filter tank 1. At the same time, the steam generator 2 is started, so that steam enters the first heating tube 12, the second heating tube 34 and the heat preservation tube 14. After the sugar solution is heated by the first heating tube 12, it is transferred into the filter tank 33 through the first discharge tube 13. After secondary filtration in the filter tank 33, the sugar solution enters the storage tank 31. The second heating tube 34 heats the sugar solution again and it is transferred out through the second discharge tube 35 for use in feed processing. During the transfer process, water vapor is introduced through the heat preservation tube 14 for heating, so that the sugar remains in a molten state and reduces the possibility of condensation on the inner wall of the discharge tube.
