Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooler technology, and more specifically, to a cooler that facilitates product loading and unloading. Background Technology
[0002] A feed cooler is a device used to cool pelleted feed, primarily used in the pelleting section of feed mills. Its function is to cool the pelleted feed, which is fresh from the pellet mill at temperatures as high as 70–90°C and with a moisture content of 14%–16%, to a temperature slightly above room temperature (usually not exceeding 35°C), while simultaneously reducing the moisture content to below the safe moisture level required by national standards (generally not exceeding 12.5% in southern regions and not exceeding 14% in northern regions). This process not only increases the firmness of the pelleted feed and effectively prevents mold growth, but also facilitates its transportation and long-term storage.
[0003] Patent authorization number CN209101845U discloses a feed cooler, including a cooling chamber and a feeding chamber. The feeding chamber is located at the upper end of the cooling chamber, and a closed-loop feeder is provided at the upper end of the feeding chamber. A feed inlet is fixedly installed at the upper end of the closed-loop feeder, and an air outlet is provided on the side wall of the feeding chamber. This feed cooler can dissipate residual heat from the feed passing through it, allowing it to spread evenly in the external environment and fully combine with the outside air. The cooled feed is collected by adjusting the discharge valve, ensuring more thorough contact between the internal feed and the cold air. The buffer strips slow down the speed at which the feed slides down, buffering the cold air entering the cooling chamber. This allows the cold air to be evenly dispersed and transmitted upwards after encountering the buffer plates, spreading upwards through the gaps between the guide plates, and then discharged through the air outlet.
[0004] However, the feed inlet in patent authorization number CN209101845U is located at the top of the cooling chamber, which is inconvenient for loading products. Furthermore, during the discharge process through the discharge valve, blockages are prone to occur. In order to facilitate the loading and unloading of products, we have proposed a cooler that facilitates product loading and unloading to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] 1. Technical problems to be solved
[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cooler that facilitates product loading and unloading. It adds the material to be cooled into the feeding pipe through the hopper, and at the same time starts the drive motor to drive the shaft to rotate. The first spiral blades convey the material upward and finally fall into the cooling cylinder. By starting the vibration motor, under the elastic force of the spring, the connecting plate and the guide rod slide up and down, thereby driving the cooling cylinder to vibrate up and down. This ensures that the material slides normally in the spiral channel, prevents material blockage, and facilitates loading and unloading.
[0007] 2. Technical Solution
[0008] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0009] A cooler for easy product loading and unloading includes a cooling box and cooling air holes symmetrically opened on the edge of the side wall of the cooling box. An assembly window is provided between the cooling air holes, and a fan is installed on the inner side of the assembly window.
[0010] The inner wall of the cooling box is symmetrically and fixedly connected with supporting bosses. A guide rod is welded to the upper surface of the supporting boss. A limit boss is fixedly connected to the top of the guide rod. A spring is sleeved on the guide rod.
[0011] A cooling cylinder is installed inside the cooling box. A second spiral blade is welded to the inner wall of the cooling cylinder. Through holes are opened in an array on the side wall of the cooling cylinder. A connecting plate that is slidably connected to the guide rod is symmetrically welded to the outer wall of the cooling cylinder. A vibration motor is installed on the connecting plate.
[0012] A feeding pipe is installed on one side of the cooling box via a bracket, and the top end of the feeding pipe extends into the inner cavity of the cooling box. A drive motor is installed at the bottom end of the feeding pipe, and a hopper is connected to the part of the feeding pipe near the drive motor. A shaft is installed on the inner side of the feeding pipe and is transmitted to the power output end of the drive motor. A first spiral blade is welded to the outer wall of the shaft.
[0013] The bottom of the cooling box shown has a discharge port corresponding to the part of the cooling cylinder.
[0014] Furthermore, a dustproof mesh cover is installed at the air inlet end of the fan.
[0015] Furthermore, one end of the spring is connected to the support boss, and the other end of the spring is connected to the connecting plate.
[0016] Furthermore, the top end of the feeding pipe is located directly above the cooling cylinder, and the top end of the feeding pipe is angled.
[0017] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the first spiral blade is adapted to the inner diameter of the feeding pipe.
[0018] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the second helical blade is adapted to the inner diameter of the cooling cylinder.
[0019] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the discharge port is larger than the outer diameter of the cooling cylinder.
[0020] 3. Beneficial effects
[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0022] (1) In this scheme, the material to be cooled is added into the feeding pipe through the hopper, and the drive motor is started to drive the shaft to rotate. The material is conveyed upward by the first spiral blade and finally falls into the cooling cylinder. By starting the vibration motor, the connecting plate and the guide rod slide up and down under the elastic force of the spring, thereby driving the cooling cylinder to vibrate up and down. This ensures that the material slides normally in the spiral channel, prevents material blockage, and facilitates loading and unloading.
[0023] (2) In this scheme, the inner cavity of the cooling cylinder is divided into a spiral channel by the second spiral blade. After the material falls into the inner side of the cooling cylinder, the material slides down in the spiral channel, which can effectively extend the cooling time of the material. At the same time, the fan blows air through the through hole to the inner side of the cooling cylinder to cool the material, while the heat is dissipated through the cooling air hole, which improves the cooling effect of the material.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Example:
[0033] Please see Figure 1-5 A cooler for easy loading and unloading of products includes a cooling box 1 and cooling air holes 2 symmetrically opened on the edge of the side wall of the cooling box 1. An assembly window is provided between the cooling air holes 2, and a fan 3 is installed on the inner side of the assembly window.
[0034] The inner wall of the cooling box 1 is symmetrically fixedly connected with support bosses 5. A guide rod 6 is welded to the upper surface of the support bosses 5. A limit boss 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the guide rod 6. A spring 8 is sleeved on the guide rod 6.
[0035] A cooling cylinder 14 is installed inside the cooling box 1. A second spiral blade 15 is welded to the inner wall of the cooling cylinder 14. Through holes 16 are opened in an array on the side wall of the cooling cylinder 14. A connecting plate 17 that is slidably connected to the guide rod 6 is symmetrically welded to the outer wall of the cooling cylinder 14. A vibration motor 18 is installed on the connecting plate 17.
[0036] A feeding pipe 9 is installed on one side of the cooling box 1 via a bracket, and the top end of the feeding pipe 9 extends into the inner cavity of the cooling box 1. A drive motor 10 is installed at the bottom end of the feeding pipe 9. A hopper 11 is connected to the feeding pipe 9 near the drive motor 10. A shaft 12 is installed on the inner side of the feeding pipe 9 and is connected to the power output end of the drive motor 10. A first spiral blade 13 is welded to the outer wall of the shaft 12.
[0037] The bottom of the cooling box 1 shown is provided with a discharge port 19 corresponding to the part of the cooling cylinder 14;
[0038] It should be noted that when using this cooler that facilitates product loading and unloading, the material to be cooled is added into the loading pipe 9 through the hopper 11, and the drive motor 10 is started to drive the shaft 12 to rotate. The first spiral blade 13 is used to convey the material upward and finally fall into the cooling cylinder 14, which facilitates loading.
[0039] The inner cavity of the cooling cylinder 14 is divided into a spiral channel by the second spiral blade 15. After the material falls into the inner side of the cooling cylinder 14, it slides down in the spiral channel, which can effectively extend the cooling time of the material. At the same time, by turning on the fan 3, the air is blown into the inner side of the cooling cylinder 14 through the through hole 16 (the inner diameter of the through hole 16 is smaller than the particle size of the material) to cool the material, while the heat is dissipated through the cooling air hole 2, which improves the cooling effect of the material.
[0040] By starting the vibration motor 18, the connecting plate 17 slides up and down in conjunction with the guide rod 6 under the elastic force of the spring 8, thereby driving the cooling cylinder 14 to vibrate up and down. This ensures that the material slides down normally in the spiral channel, prevents material blockage, and facilitates material feeding.
[0041] After cooling, the material is finally discharged from the cooling box 1 through the discharge port 19.
[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, a dustproof mesh cover 4 is installed at the air inlet end of the fan 3;
[0043] It should be noted that by setting up the dustproof mesh cover 4, the fan 3 can isolate dust and other impurities in the air during operation, thus avoiding contamination of the materials during the cooling process.
[0044] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, one end of the spring 8 is connected to the support boss 5, and the other end of the spring 8 is connected to the connecting plate 17.
[0045] It should be noted that by starting the vibration motor 18, the connecting plate 17 slides up and down in conjunction with the guide rod 6 under the elastic force of the spring 8, thereby driving the cooling cylinder 14 to vibrate up and down, which can ensure that the material slides normally in the spiral channel and prevent material blockage.
[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the top end of the feeding pipe 9 is located directly above the cooling cylinder 14, and the top end of the feeding pipe 9 is set at an angle.
[0047] It should be noted that the downward tilt of the top of the feeding pipe 9 facilitates the discharge of the conveyed material and prevents the material from accumulating at the top of the feeding pipe 9.
[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer diameter of the first spiral blade 13 is matched with the inner diameter of the feed pipe 9;
[0049] It should be noted that the drive motor 10 drives the shaft 12 to rotate, and the first spiral blade 13 is used to convey the material upward.
[0050] like Figure 3As shown, the outer diameter of the second helical blade 15 is matched with the inner diameter of the cooling cylinder 14;
[0051] It should be noted that the inner cavity of the cooling cylinder 14 is divided into a spiral channel by the second spiral blade 15. After the material falls into the inner side of the cooling cylinder 14, the material slides down in the spiral channel, which can effectively extend the cooling time of the material.
[0052] The inner diameter of the discharge port 19 is larger than the outer diameter of the cooling cylinder 14.
[0053] In use: The material to be cooled is added into the feeding pipe 9 through the hopper 11, and the drive motor 10 is started to drive the shaft 12 to rotate. The material is then conveyed upward by the first spiral blade 13 and finally falls into the cooling cylinder 14.
[0054] The inner cavity of the cooling cylinder 14 is divided into a spiral channel by the second spiral blade 15. After the material falls into the inner side of the cooling cylinder 14, it slides down in the spiral channel, which can effectively extend the cooling time of the material. At the same time, by turning on the fan 3, the air is blown into the inner side of the cooling cylinder 14 through the through hole 16 (the inner diameter of the through hole 16 is smaller than the particle size of the material) to cool the material, while the heat is dissipated through the cooling air hole 2, which improves the cooling effect of the material.
[0055] By starting the vibration motor 18, under the elastic force of the spring 8, the connecting plate 17 slides up and down in conjunction with the guide rod 6, thereby driving the cooling cylinder 14 to vibrate up and down, which can ensure that the material slides down normally in the spiral channel and prevent material blockage.
[0056] After cooling, the material is finally discharged from the cooling box 1 through the discharge port 19.
[0057] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
