Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed processing technology, and in particular to a pig feed maturation device. Background Technology
[0002] Pig feed is specially formulated to meet the nutritional needs of pigs at different growth stages. It is made up of feed, vitamins and additives mixed in a scientific ratio, which can effectively ensure the healthy growth of pigs. As the core substance of the pig farming industry, the quality of pig feed directly affects the breeding efficiency and food safety of pig herds. Pig feed maturation is an important step in the processing, which can improve the palatability of feed and increase digestibility. In order to safely and conveniently perform pig feed maturation, people have developed pig feed maturation devices.
[0003] The pig feed maturation device includes feeding, mixing, heating, and discharging mechanisms. The feeding mechanism ensures smooth feed entry through the shape of the feed inlet, the mixing mechanism uses a special blade design to mix the feed evenly, the heating mechanism ensures uniform heating of the pig feed, and the discharging mechanism ensures rapid discharge of the maturated feed. The components within the device work together to not only improve the palatability and digestibility of the feed and kill harmful microorganisms, but also significantly improve production efficiency.
[0004] Although pig feed cooking equipment is comprehensive in function, the use of electric heating wires and uneven distribution of these wires can lead to significant temperature differences in different areas of the equipment, affecting the cooking quality of the feed. The existing solution is to use microwave heating technology, which acts directly on the inside of the material, heating the feed inside and out simultaneously and avoiding heat loss and uneven heating. However, due to the different dielectric properties of feed formulations, corresponding microwave parameters need to be matched, increasing the complexity of operation. Moreover, for feed containing metal impurities, microwave reflection will occur, affecting the heating effect and equipment safety. Utility Model Content

[0032] 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.
[0033] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5This utility model provides an embodiment of a pig feed maturation device, comprising a base plate 1 and a heating tank 2. A fixing plate 4 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the heating tank 2, providing support for the rotation of a servo motor 6. A motor protective shell 5 is fixedly connected to the left side of the fixing plate 4, protecting the servo motor 6. The servo motor 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the motor protective shell 5, providing power for the rotation of a spiral guide 8. A rotating shaft 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 6. For transmitting power, a spiral guide 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 7, which guides the material. Multiple heating wires 9 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the spiral guide 8, which heats the spiral guide 8 and thus initially heats the material. A limit post 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 7 to prevent the spiral guide 8 from falling. An air storage box 12 is fixedly connected to the top rear side of the base plate 1 to store compressed air. The top of the air storage box 12 is fixedly connected to... An air compressor 11 is provided, which is used to compress air. A heater 14 is provided on the top left side of the air storage tank 12 to heat the air inside the air storage tank 12. An air pump 13 is fixedly connected to the top rear side of the base plate 1. The air pump 13 is used to transfer and pressurize the compressed air. An air delivery pipe 15 is connected to the top of the air pump 13. The air delivery pipe 15 is used to transport compressed air. A rotary joint 16 is fixedly connected to the top end of the air delivery pipe 15. The rotary joint 16 can rotate while the air pipe 17 is not... To affect gas transmission, a vent pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotary joint 16. The top of the vent pipe 17 is connected to the limiting post 10. The vent pipe 17 is used to transmit air. Multiple air outlets 18 are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the vent pipe 17. The multiple air outlets 18 serve as components for ejecting high-pressure air after heating. A protective cover 19 is rotatably connected to the top of the heating tank 2. The protective cover 19 is used to protect the components inside the heating tank 2. A discharge mechanism 3 is provided at the bottom of the heating tank 2. The discharge mechanism 3 is used to quickly remove pig feed from the heating tank 2.
[0034] Specifically, air is compressed by air compressor 11 and stored in air storage tank 12. Heater 14 is activated to heat the air in air storage tank 12 until it reaches a suitable temperature. Protective cover 19 is opened, and the pig feed raw materials to be cooked are placed into the device. Servo motor 6 is activated to drive rotating shaft 7 to rotate, which in turn causes spiral guide 8 to start rotating. During the rotation of spiral guide 8, the pig feed raw materials are guided and transported from the feed inlet into the heating tank 2. At the same time, the inner wall of spiral guide 8... Multiple heating wires 9 are energized and generate heat to initially heat the pig feed raw materials that have passed through the spiral guide 8. The air pump 13 is started, and the air pump 13 delivers the heated compressed air in the air storage tank 12 to the rotary joint 16 through the air pipe 15. As the air pipe 17 rotates, the rotary joint 16 ensures that the hot air can be smoothly transmitted to the air pipe 17. The hot air is sprayed out through multiple air outlets 18 at the left and right ends of the air pipe 17, so that the hot air is evenly distributed in the heating tank 2 to further heat and cook the pig feed raw materials.
[0035] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 The discharge mechanism 3 includes a rotary motor 301, which provides power for the movement of the scraper 304. The top of the rotary motor 301 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heating tank 2. A scraper housing 302 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor 301. The scraper housing 302 is used to accommodate the scraper 304. Multiple springs 303 are fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the scraper housing 302. The multiple springs 303 ensure that the scraper 304 remains in close contact with the bottom of the inner wall of the heating tank 2. The bottom of each of the multiple springs 303 is fixedly connected to the same scraper 304. The scraper 304 causes all the material to leave the heating tank 2. Multiple limiting blocks 306 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the scraper shell 302. Multiple limiting grooves 305 are opened on the front and rear sides of the scraper 304. The multiple limiting blocks 306 are slidably connected to the corresponding limiting grooves 305, which can prevent the scraper 304 from completely detaching from the scraper shell 302. A discharge hole 307 is opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the heating tank 2. The discharge hole 307 is a component for the material to leave the heating tank 2. A one-way valve 308 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the discharge hole 307. The one-way valve 308 can prevent the material from flowing back.
[0036] Specifically, after the pig feed has matured, the rotating motor 301 is turned on, causing the scraper shell 302 to rotate. Multiple springs 303 fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the scraper shell 302 drive the scraper 304 to move together. Because the springs 303 are elastic, they constantly apply downward pressure to the scraper 304, ensuring that the scraper 304 remains in close contact with the bottom of the inner wall of the heating tank 2. This minimizes the gap between the scraper 304 and the bottom of the tank, effectively scraping up the pig feed from the bottom of the heating tank 2. Multiple limiting blocks 306 at the bottom of the scraper shell 302 and the scraper 304 are located on the front and rear sides of the scraper. The limiting groove 305 is slidably connected, which restricts the range of movement of the scraper 304 in the vertical direction, preventing the scraper 304 from completely detaching from the scraper shell 302 under the action of the spring 303. This ensures the stability and reliability of the scraper 304 during the scraping process. When the scraper 304 pushes the pig feed through the discharge hole 307, the pressure of the pig feed opens the one-way valve 308 and is discharged smoothly. The one-way valve 308 can prevent external air from entering the heating tank 2 and also prevent the discharged pig feed from flowing back into the heating tank 2, ensuring the smooth progress of the discharge process and the control of the material flow direction.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A pressure sensor 23 is installed on the right side of the gas storage tank 12. The pressure sensor 23 is used to detect the pressure inside the gas storage tank 12. An alarm 24 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the gas storage tank 12 to provide an alarm. A locking lug 25 is fixedly connected to the front end of the protective cover 19. A latch 26 is fixedly connected to the front side of the heating tank 2. The locking lug 25 and the latch 26 prevent the protective cover 19 from being easily opened. Handles 27 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the outer wall of the heating tank 2. Multiple finger grooves 28 are provided on the outer wall of both handles 27. The handles 27 and finger grooves 28 make it easier to operate the heating tank 2. The outer wall of the one-way valve 308 is fixedly connected to a sealing ring 20, which can increase the sealing performance at the connection between the one-way valve 308 and the discharge port 307. The sealing ring 20 adopts a ring design. A rubber pad 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 1. The bottom of the rubber pad 22 is frosted, which can increase the friction between the device and the ground. A control console 21 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the base plate 1. The control console 21 is electrically connected to the servo motor 6, heating wire 9, air compressor 11, air pump 13, heater 14, rotary motor 301, pressure sensor 23 and alarm 24 respectively.
[0038] Specifically, before the device is started, the operator can connect the device to a specific mobile device via wireless technology, allowing the operator to control the components inside the device via the control console 21 or remotely. The pressure sensor 23 monitors the pressure inside the gas storage tank 12 in real time. If the pressure value exceeds the preset safety range, the alarm 24 will sound an alarm or flash a light to remind the operator that the pressure inside the gas storage tank 12 is abnormal and that appropriate measures need to be taken. When it is necessary to open the protective cover 19, the operator must first disengage the locking lug 25 and the latch 26. The locking lug 25 and the latch 26 ensure that the protective cover 19 is securely installed on the heating tank 2, preventing the protective cover 19 from being accidentally opened during device operation and ensuring the safety of the operator. To ensure safety and a stable internal working environment, when the heating tank 2 needs to be moved, the operator holds the handles 27 on the left and right sides of the outer wall of the heating tank 2. Since the outer wall of the handle 27 has multiple finger grooves 28, the friction between the hand and the handle 27 is increased, making the grip more secure and comfortable. The ring design of the sealing ring 20 can completely cover the gap at the connection, effectively preventing air and pig feed from leaking from the connection and preventing external air from entering the heating tank 2. When the device is placed on the ground, the rubber pad 22 contacts the ground, generating a large friction force between the pad and the ground, which can effectively prevent the device from moving or shaking due to vibration or external force during operation, ensuring the stability of the device during operation and improving the reliability and safety of the equipment.
[0039] Working principle: The air compressor 11 compresses air, resulting in air with higher pressure and internal energy, which is stored in the air storage tank 12. After the heater 14 is activated, it uses electrical energy to heat the compressed air in the air storage tank 12, raising the air temperature to a suitable range. When the servo motor 6 is powered on, it drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate. The rotating shaft 7 is fixedly connected to the spiral guide 8, causing the spiral guide 8 to start rotating. This propels the pig feed raw materials along the spiral direction from the feed inlet into the heating tank 2. Multiple heating wires 9 are energized. Afterwards, the heat emitted is transferred to the pig feed raw materials that come into contact with the spiral guide 8, which initially heats the pig feed. When the air pump 13 is working, the heated compressed air in the air storage box 12 is delivered to the rotary joint 16 through the air supply pipe 15. The rotary joint 16 achieves a sealed and rotating connection between the rotating part and the fixed part through the sealing element and structural design. After the hot air is sprayed out through the multiple air outlets 18 at the left and right ends of the air pipe 17, it further heats and cooks the pig feed raw materials, thereby improving the palatability, digestibility and nutritional value of the feed.
[0040] Furthermore, since the output end of the rotating motor 301 is fixedly connected to the scraper shell 302, the rotation of the rotating motor 301 can drive the scraper shell 302 to rotate synchronously, providing power for the entire discharge process. The spring 303 is always in a compressed or stretched state, applying a downward elastic force to the scraper 304. Under the action of the elastic force, the scraper 304 can overcome its own weight and tightly adhere to the bottom of the inner wall of the heating tank 2, so that the scraper 304 can effectively scrape up the pig feed at the bottom of the heating tank 2, ensuring thorough discharge and preventing feed residue at the bottom of the tank. The limiting block 306 slides in the limiting groove 305, limiting the range of movement of the scraper 304 in the vertical direction, preventing the scraper 304 from moving excessively upward under the action of the elastic force and detaching. The scraper shell 302, along with the limiting structure, ensures the stability of the scraper 304, guaranteeing the normal operation of the scraping process. When the scraper 304 pushes the pig feed towards the discharge hole 307, the pig feed exerts pressure on the one-way valve 308. When the pressure exceeds the opening pressure of the one-way valve 308, the pig feed smoothly passes through the discharge hole 307 and is discharged from the heating tank 2. When the pig feed stops pushing, or the scraper 304 rotates and no longer applies pressure to the one-way valve 308, the one-way valve 308 automatically closes, preventing external air from entering the heating tank 2 and avoiding the backflow of discharged pig feed into the heating tank 2. This ensures the smooth progress of the discharge process and the correct control of the material flow direction, maintaining the internal pressure balance and the stability of the working environment.
