Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed processing and storage technology, and in particular to a crushing buffer chute for pellet feed silos. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing scale of domestic farming, the proportion of bulk feed has been rising year by year, currently accounting for nearly 50% of compound feed. The height and capacity of bulk feed silos are also constantly increasing. Due to the large drop, during the process of bulk feed entering the silo, there is a violent impact and collision between the particles and with the inner wall of the silo, resulting in an increase in feed breakage rate and powder content. This not only affects the stability and uniformity of its nutritional components, reduces feed quality, affects animal feed intake, and reduces animal growth rate, but may also cause dust to fly, posing a safety hazard.
[0003] To reduce the breakage rate of feed entering bulk silos, the common method is to install buffer plates on the inner walls of the silos. However, this method has limited effectiveness in reducing breakage and powder content, is costly, and is difficult to implement in existing bulk silos. In other bulk materials such as grain and coal, to reduce breakage upon entering bulk silos, common methods include installing rigid chutes with distribution ports, downward-sloping chutes or spiral chutes, or buffer chutes with lifting functions. These methods are also costly, difficult to install, and inconvenient for transportation. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a crushing buffer chute for pellet feed silos that has a simple structural design, significantly reduces the breakage rate and powder content, has low cost, and is easy to install and transport.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a crushing buffer chute for pellet feed silos, comprising a through pipe body and multiple buffer plates disposed within the pipe body, the multiple buffer plates being arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the pipe body, each buffer plate having a discharge port, the discharge ports on adjacent buffer plates being staggered, the pipe body having multiple overflow ports, and each buffer plate having a corresponding overflow port above it, the pipe body and the buffer plates being flexible.
[0006] Furthermore, the tube body is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs, which are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the tube body, and the reinforcing ribs are provided in correspondence with the buffer sheet.
[0007] Furthermore, the multiple reinforcing ribs are connected by steel cables.
[0008] Furthermore, the multiple overflow outlets are arranged in an alternating pattern.
[0009] Furthermore, the spacing between adjacent buffer sheets is 0.5-2.5m.
[0010] Furthermore, the opening area of the overflow port accounts for 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the cross-sectional area of the pipe body.
[0011] Furthermore, the top of the tube is trumpet-shaped.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] (1) This utility model reduces the drop difference and the impact force during each drop by setting multiple buffer plates at intervals in the tube body and staggering the drop ports on adjacent buffer plates. It is also low in cost. At the same time, the tube body and buffer plates have a certain degree of flexibility, which effectively buffers the impact and reduces the collision, thereby significantly reducing the breakage rate and powder content.
[0014] (2) By setting reinforcing ribs at the impact-bearing buffer plate, the flexible tube body always remains cylindrical, avoiding inward shrinkage of the flexible tube body and blockage, and increasing the structural strength of the tube body.
[0015] (3) This utility model uses steel cables to connect multiple reinforcing ribs to support the entire chute. During installation, the steel cables can be suspended below the feed silo inlet, making installation convenient.
[0016] (4) The tube body of this utility model has a certain degree of flexibility. During transportation, the tube body can be folded, which is convenient, quick and easy and does not take up space. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.
[0023] like Figures 1-3As shown, a crushing buffer chute for pellet feed silos includes a through pipe body 100 and multiple buffer plates 200 disposed within the pipe body 100. The multiple buffer plates 200 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the pipe body 100. Each buffer plate 200 has a discharge port 210. The discharge ports 210 on adjacent buffer plates 200 are staggered. The pipe body 100 has multiple overflow ports 110. Each buffer plate 200 has a corresponding overflow port 110 above it. The pipe body 100 and the buffer plates 200 are flexible. Specifically, the tube body 100 is made of polyester fiber, aramid fiber, or nylon fiber fabric, and a coating can be applied to its surface. Due to the flexibility of the tube body 100, it can be easily and quickly transported by simply folding it, without taking up much space. Multiple overflow ports 110 are arranged in an alternating pattern to ensure that the feed is evenly piled up in the feed silo. The opening area of the overflow port 110 is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the cross-sectional area of the tube body 100. Depending on the strength and size of the pelleted feed, the spacing between adjacent buffer plates 200 is set to 0.5-2.5m.
[0024] By setting multiple buffer plates 200 at intervals inside the tube body 100, and staggering the drop ports 210 on adjacent buffer plates 200, the drop height is reduced and the impact force during each drop is decreased. The cost is low. At the same time, the tube body 100 and the buffer plates 200 have a certain degree of flexibility, which effectively buffers the impact and reduces the collision, thereby significantly reducing the breakage rate and powder content.
[0025] The tube body 100 is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs 300, which are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the tube body 100. The reinforcing ribs 300 are correspondingly arranged with the buffer plate 200. Specifically, the reinforcing ribs 300 are made of metal. By setting the reinforcing ribs 300 at the impact-bearing buffer plate 200, the flexible tube body 100 always maintains a cylindrical shape, avoiding inward shrinkage of the flexible tube body 100 that could cause blockage and affect the material feeding efficiency, and also increasing the structural strength of the tube body 100.
[0026] Multiple reinforcing ribs 300 are connected by steel cables 400. The steel cables 400 are used to support the entire chute. During installation, the steel cables 400 are simply suspended below the feed silo inlet, making installation convenient.
[0027] To facilitate the entry of feed into the tube 100, the top of the tube 100 is designed in a trumpet shape.
[0028] When feed is fed into the feed silo inlet, the feed enters the pipe body 100 and then falls into the feed silo from the bottom of the pipe body 100 through multiple discharge ports 210. As the feed accumulates in the feed silo, it submerges the bottom of the pipe body 100. At this point, the feed is discharged from the bottom overflow port 110 of the pipe body 100 and falls into the feed silo. This process continues until the feed is discharged from the top overflow port 110 of the pipe body 100 and falls into the feed silo.
[0029] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it. They should not be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
