Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical and refrigeration technology, specifically a cooling device for feed processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the feed processing industry, feed cooling is an indispensable step. After processing, mixing, pelleting and other processes, the temperature of feed is often high, which not only affects the quality and taste of the feed, but may also cause the nutrients in the feed to be destroyed or lost. Therefore, effective cooling of feed is an important measure to ensure feed quality and stability.

[0003] Traditional feed cooling methods mostly employ natural cooling or air cooling. While natural cooling is inexpensive, its low efficiency fails to meet the demands of large-scale feed production. Air cooling, although improving efficiency to some extent, often suffers from high energy consumption, noise levels, and uneven cooling. Furthermore, traditional cooling devices are often simply designed, lacking intelligent control and making precise regulation of the cooling process difficult. In recent years, with the continuous advancement of feed processing technology and intensified market competition, feed producers have increasingly higher requirements for cooling devices. They not only want the devices to efficiently and quickly reduce feed temperature but also require intelligent control for precise adjustment and monitoring of the cooling process. Additionally, considering the continuity and stability of feed production, the cooling devices should possess good wear resistance and durability to ensure long-term stable operation. Therefore, this paper proposes a cooling device for feed processing to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cooling device for feed processing.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to a cooling device for feed processing, comprising an upper tank, which includes a tank body. Multiple air coolers are installed on the wall of the tank body, and a temperature sensor is also installed on the wall of the tank body. A shrink plate is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the tank body, and a rotating shaft is set in the middle of the shrink plate. Double-layered parallel four-blade stirring blades are set on the outside of the rotating shaft. The lower tank includes an outer wall and an inner wall, and a cooling pipe is fixedly installed at the middle position between the outer wall and the inner wall.

[0007] Furthermore, a lid is installed on the top of the barrel, with the top of the lid penetrating the feeder.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the lower bucket is funnel-shaped, and a discharge cover is installed at the bottom of the lower bucket.

[0009] Furthermore, the shrink plate includes multiple hollow plates and telescopic rods, with the multiple hollow plates connected and cooperating with each other through the telescopic rods.

[0010] Furthermore, the surface of the double-layered parallel four-blade stirring blades is provided with a wear-resistant coating.

[0011] Furthermore, the cooling pipe is connected to the water pump.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This invention features an upper barrel structure with multiple cooling fans installed on the barrel wall, which can quickly reduce the temperature of the feed. At the same time, a temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the barrel in real time to ensure precise control of the cooling process. The double-layered parallel four-blade stirring blades rotate under the drive of the rotating shaft, which not only effectively stirs the feed and makes it evenly distributed inside the barrel, but also promotes full contact between the feed and the cooling air, further improving the cooling efficiency.

[0014] This utility model features a lower bucket structure with cooling pipes evenly distributed within it. The cooling pipes are cooled by water pumps, making this indirect cooling method more energy-efficient than direct air cooling. This is because water has a higher heat capacity and can more effectively absorb and remove heat. The shrink plate is composed of multiple hollow plates connected by telescopic rods, which helps to release feed in a timely manner and saves time.

[0015] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: it includes an upper tank 1, which includes a tank body 101. Multiple air coolers 102 are installed on the wall of the tank body 101. A temperature sensor 105 is also provided on the wall of the tank body 101. A shrink plate 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the tank body 101. A rotating shaft 3 is provided in the middle of the shrink plate 4. A double-layer parallel four-blade stirring blade 301 is provided on the outside of the rotating shaft 3. The lower tank 2 includes an outer wall 201 and an inner wall 202. A cooling pipe 5 is fixedly installed at the middle position between the outer wall 201 and the inner wall 202.

[0024] In this embodiment, the core component of the upper barrel 1 is the barrel body 101, on which multiple air coolers 102 are installed. When the equipment is started, the air coolers 102 begin to operate, blowing cold air into the barrel body 101 to reduce the temperature of the material. At the same time, a temperature sensor 105 is also installed on the barrel body 101 to monitor the temperature inside the barrel in real time and ensure the cooling effect. A shrink plate 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the barrel body 101. The temperature sensor 105 will also control the shrink plate 4 to shrink when the material is cooled to a certain level. A rotating shaft 3 is set in the middle part, and a double-layer parallel four-blade stirring blade 301 is installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 3. When the material enters the barrel body 101, the double-layer parallel four-blade stirring blade 301 will start to rotate, and the stirring action will make the material evenly distributed in the barrel, thereby accelerating the heat dissipation and improving the cooling efficiency.

[0025] The lower tank 2 consists of an outer wall 201 and an inner wall 202. A cooling pipe 5 is fixedly installed in the middle. The cooling pipe 5 is filled with paraffin wax to absorb and store the heat released by the material. After the material is initially cooled by the upper tank 1, it will enter the lower tank 2 for further cooling. At this time, the paraffin wax in the cooling pipe 5 will absorb the heat released by the material, thereby reducing the temperature of the material. As heat accumulates, the cooling medium will gradually heat up. At this time, the cooling medium can be cooled down by an external cooling system to continue absorbing heat.

[0026] Furthermore, a cover 103 is installed on the top of the barrel 101, and the top of the cover 103 passes through the feeder 104. The bottom of the lower barrel 2 is funnel-shaped, and a discharge cover 203 is installed at the bottom of the lower barrel 2. The shrink plate 4 includes multiple hollow plates 401 and telescopic rods 402. The multiple hollow plates 401 are connected and cooperate with each other through the telescopic rods 402. The surface of the double-layer parallel four-blade stirring blades 301 is provided with a wear-resistant coating. The cooling pipe 5 is connected to a water pump.

[0027] In this embodiment, the design of the cover 103 on the top of the barrel 101 and the feeder 104 passing through it ensures that the material can enter the barrel safely and conveniently, while avoiding rapid heat loss and the mixing of external impurities during the cooling process. The precise control of the feeder 104 enables the material to enter the cooling system evenly and continuously, ensuring the stability and consistency of the cooling effect. The bottom of the lower barrel 2 is designed in a funnel shape, which helps the feed to be discharged smoothly after cooling, avoiding blockage and residue problems. A discharge cover 203 is installed below the funnel-shaped bottom. By controlling the opening and closing of the discharge cover, the timing and amount of feed discharge can be easily controlled.

[0028] The shrink plate 4 is composed of multiple hollow plates 401, which are connected together by telescopic rods 402. The telescopic rods are fixedly installed inside the middle hollow plate. When the temperature reaches a certain level, the temperature sensor 105 controls the shrink plate 4 through the control system. At this time, the telescopic rods 402 will extend or shorten, thereby driving the hollow plates 401 to move, realizing the shrink plate's contraction or expansion. This allows the feed to maintain a certain pressure and density during the cooling process, which helps to improve the cooling effect. The surface of the double-layer parallel four-blade stirring blades 301 is provided with a wear-resistant coating, mainly to improve the durability of the stirring blades. During the feed cooling process, the stirring blades need to rotate continuously to stir the feed, allowing it to fully contact the cold air. The presence of the wear-resistant coating can effectively reduce the frictional wear between the stirring blades and the feed, extending the service life of the stirring blades. The cooling pipe 5 uses a water pump to deliver water for cooling, enabling the cooling pipe to continuously absorb the heat released by the feed and carry it away. The function of the water pump is to circulate the cooling water in the water tank to the cooling pipe, thereby maintaining the cooling effect of the cooling pipe. This not only improves the cooling efficiency but also helps to reduce energy consumption and extend the service life of the cooling pipe.

[0029] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification.
