Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fish bait processing technology, specifically to a steam puffing device for pellet fishing bait. Background Technology

[0002] During the processing of fish feed, high-temperature and high-pressure steam causes the fish feed to absorb water and expand. The pressure and temperature of the steam change the molecular structure inside the raw materials, forming tiny pores. When the raw materials reach a certain degree of expansion, the pressure is released rapidly, causing the water inside the raw materials to evaporate quickly and produce an explosion effect, further destroying its original dense structure and forming a more fluffy and porous state.

[0003] However, some existing steam puffing devices have the problem of inconvenient loading and unloading. For example, the Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN213848318U describes a steam puffing device for environmentally friendly pellet fish bait. The material tank is designed to be detachable. In use, the raw materials are put into the material tank, and then the material tank is pushed into the puffing chamber. Steam is delivered to the puffing chamber through the steam pipe and air inlet by the steam equipment to puff the raw materials in the material tank. After puffing, the material tank can be disassembled for unloading and cleaning.

[0004] In view of the existing technology, when feeding, the raw materials need to be put into the material tank, and then the material tank needs to be put into the puffing chamber. When unloading, the material tank needs to be removed from the puffing chamber and then the raw materials in the material tank need to be removed. The operation is inconvenient. Therefore, this utility model proposes a steam puffing device for pellet fishing bait to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0020] 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.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model discloses a steam puffing device for pellet fishing bait, comprising:

[0022] Base 3.

[0023] The puffing chamber 1 has one end rotatably connected to one end of the base 3 via a connecting seat 5, and the other end of the puffing chamber 1 is rotatably connected to the other end of the base 3 via a driving mechanism 6. Specifically, the lower end of the connecting seat 5 is fixedly connected to the base 3, and one end of the puffing chamber 1 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the connecting seat 5.

[0024] The expansion tank 17 has two bearings 16 fixed to its outer walls at both ends, and the expansion tank 17 is rotatably installed inside the expansion chamber 1 through the two bearings 16.

[0025] Steam generator 4 is used to generate high-pressure steam. Steam generator 43 is prior art, and can be found in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. CN213848318U, "An Environmentally Friendly Pellet Fish Bait Steam Extrusion Device," which will not be described in detail here. Steam generator 4 is fixedly connected to base 3, and one end of steam generator 4 is connected to steam pipe 11. The other end of steam pipe 11 is connected between the inner wall of extrusion chamber 1 and the outer wall of extrusion tank 17, for conveying steam to the interior of extrusion chamber 1.

[0026] The rotating mechanism 13 is connected between the puffing chamber 1 and the puffing tank 17 to drive the puffing tank 17 to rotate inside the puffing chamber 1. When the puffing tank 17 rotates, it causes the raw material to tumble inside the tank, making the contact between the raw material and the steam more uniform.

[0027] The pressure relief pipe is installed on the side of the puffing chamber 1 and is equipped with a pressure relief valve 14, which is used to relieve pressure when the internal air pressure of the puffing chamber 1 is too high or when puffing is completed.

[0028] The side wall of the expansion tank 17 has a mesh structure. After the steam generated by the steam generator 4 enters the interior of the expansion chamber 1, it can enter the interior of the expansion tank 17 through the mesh. After the steam enters the interior of the expansion tank 17, the raw material expands by absorbing the moisture of the steam. When the raw material expands to a certain extent, the pressure relief valve 14 is opened to release the pressure. By rapidly releasing the pressure, the moisture inside the raw material evaporates quickly and produces an explosion effect, further destroying its original dense structure and forming a more fluffy and porous state.

[0029] The puffing tank 17 has an opening at one end near the drive mechanism 6. The puffing chamber 1 is equipped with a door 10 at one end corresponding to the puffing tank 17. When feeding, the raw material can be added into the puffing tank 17 by opening the door 10. After puffing is completed, the raw material can be poured out by opening the door 10 and then rotating the opening end of the puffing tank 17 downwards through the drive mechanism 6. The feeding is convenient.

[0030] In addition to the above-mentioned feeding method, this utility model also provides another feeding method. Specifically, the upper end of the puffing chamber 1 is provided with an external feeding port 8, the side of the puffing tank 17 is provided with an internal feeding port 15 corresponding to the external feeding port 8, and the lower end of the puffing chamber 1 is provided with a discharge port. The external feeding port 8, the internal feeding port 15 and the discharge port can all be fitted with a cover by means of threaded connection. In use, raw materials can be added into the puffing tank 17 through the external feeding port 8 and the internal feeding port 15.

[0031] The base 3 is fixed with a blower 4. The air outlet of the blower 4 is connected to one end of a ventilation pipe 12. The other end of the ventilation pipe 12 is connected between the inner wall of the puffing chamber 1 and the outer wall of the puffing tank 17. After puffing is completed, the steam is discharged by opening the pressure relief valve 14 to relieve pressure. The blower 4 blows air into the puffing chamber 1 to accelerate the discharge of steam.

[0032] In one embodiment of this application, the drive mechanism 6 is an electric telescopic cylinder. One end of the electric telescopic cylinder is rotatably connected to the base 3, and the other end of the electric telescopic cylinder is rotatably connected to the puffing chamber 1. By shortening the electric telescopic cylinder, the opening end of the puffing tank 17 can be tilted downward. By extending the electric telescopic cylinder, the opening end of the puffing tank 17 can be raised upward, thereby facilitating the feeding of raw materials into the puffing tank 17 after opening the chamber door 10.

[0033] The pressure relief pipe is equipped with a barometer 7, which is used to monitor the air pressure inside the puffing chamber 1.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, a baffle 18 is fixed to the inner wall of the expansion tank 17. With the baffle 18, the raw materials can be better pushed to move inside the tank when the expansion tank 17 rotates.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the puffing chamber 1 is equipped with a dredging mechanism for unclogging the mesh holes on the side wall of the puffing tank 17. The dredging mechanism includes a telescopic rod 19 fixed to the inner wall of the puffing chamber 1. A fixing plate 20 is fixed to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 19. Brush bristles 21 are fixed to the fixing plate 20. The telescopic rod 19 can be an electric cylinder. After puffing and feeding are completed, the telescopic rod 19 can extend to drive the fixing plate 20 to approach the side wall of the puffing tank 17, so that the brush bristles 21 contact the side wall of the puffing tank 17. Then, the puffing tank 17 is driven to rotate, so that the side wall of the puffing tank 17 can be wiped by the brush bristles 21, which plays a role in unclogging and preventing blockage.

[0036] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rotating mechanism 13 includes a motor 13 fixed to the inner wall of the puffing chamber 1. A gear 23 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 13. A gear ring 24 is fixed to the side of the puffing tank 17. The gear 23 and the gear ring 24 are meshed and connected. The part of the fixing plate 20 located on the gear ring 24 does not have bristles 21. When the external power supply of the motor 13 is turned on, the output shaft of the motor 13 can drive the gear 23 to rotate. The gear 23 drives the gear ring 24 to rotate. The rotation of the gear ring 24 drives the puffing tank 17 to rotate.

[0037] In summary, this utility model, through the design of driving the expansion chamber 1 to tilt using an electric telescopic cylinder, allows the opening of the expansion tank 17 to flexibly face upwards for feeding or downwards for discharging, solving the problem of the traditional device requiring disassembly of the tank body for loading and unloading, which is cumbersome. At the same time, the inner wall of the expansion chamber 1 is equipped with a dredging mechanism, which can drive the fixed plate 20 close to the side wall of the expansion tank 17 via the telescopic rod 19 after expansion, so that the bristles 21 contact the side wall of the expansion tank 17, and then drive the expansion tank 17 to rotate, so that the side wall of the expansion tank 17 can be wiped by the bristles 21, effectively preventing the mesh from being blocked and ensuring the uniformity of steam penetration.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
