Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of feed forming machines, specifically relating to a fermentation feed forming machine based on distillers' grains. Background Technology

[0002] A distillers' grains-based extruded feed forming machine is a specialized device used to process distillers' grains and other raw materials into pelleted feed through extrusion. Its main function is to transform distillers' grains into pelleted feed that is more easily digested and absorbed by animals, while improving palatability and nutritional value.

[0003] When processing distillers' grains feed, the high moisture content of the raw materials makes it difficult to maintain a good shape during the molding process. This can easily lead to unstable molding or incomplete molding, resulting in uneven particle quality and affecting the appearance and quality of the final product. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fermentation feed forming machine based on distillers' grains, which can heat the raw materials while forming them, thereby reducing the moisture content of the raw materials and improving their forming performance.

[0005] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A fermentation feed extrusion molding machine based on distillers' grains includes a molding machine shell, a feed hopper, and a discharge port. The feed hopper is connected to the front side of the molding machine shell, and the discharge port is located at the bottom of one side of the molding machine shell. An extrusion molding mechanism is installed inside the molding machine shell. The extrusion molding mechanism includes: a molding ring, which is rotatably connected to the inside of the molding machine shell, with its rear end extending to the rear side of the molding machine shell; two extrusion rollers, which are movably disposed inside the molding ring, with the rear ends of both extrusion rollers extending to the rear side of the molding machine shell; and a toothed ring. A ring is fixedly connected to the rear side of the forming ring; two toothed discs are respectively fixedly connected to the rear side of the two extrusion rollers, and both toothed discs are meshed with the inner side of the toothed ring; a scraper is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the forming machine housing; a hot air dryer is fixedly installed on both sides of the forming machine housing, and the air duct of the hot air dryer extends into the interior of the forming machine housing; a servo motor is fixedly installed on the rear side of the forming machine housing; and an output gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor, and the output gear is meshed with the outer side of the toothed ring.

[0007] Preferably, there are two scrapers, which are closely attached to both sides of the forming ring, and the scrapers are made of stainless steel.

[0008] Preferably, a guide plate is fixedly connected inside the outer shell of the molding machine, and one side of the guide plate extends into the interior of the discharge port.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the molding machine housing is provided with a moisture exhaust port, and there are two moisture exhaust ports located on both sides of the top of the molding machine housing.

[0010] Preferably, an observation window is provided on the front side of the molding machine housing, and the observation window is circular.

[0011] Preferably, a sealing cover is installed on the rear side of the molding machine housing, the gear ring, the gear ring and the output gear are all disposed inside the sealing cover, and a baffle plate is fixedly connected to the front side of the sealing cover. The baffle plate is located inside the molding ring and between the two extrusion rollers.

[0012] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0013] In this invention, during feed molding, the raw materials are first fed into the molding ring inside the molding machine housing through the feed hopper. Then, a hot air dryer is started, which assists in drying the raw materials, reducing their moisture content. Next, a servo motor is activated, driving an output gear. This gear rotates the meshing gear ring and molding ring, causing the raw materials to rotate along the same trajectory. Simultaneously, the gear ring drives two meshing gear discs to rotate counter-clockwise. This counter-clockwise rotation of the two discs drives two extrusion rollers to rotate counter-clockwise, extruding the raw materials inside the molding ring. The extruded materials pass through the holes in the molding ring and automatically form the feed. As the molding ring continues to rotate, the formed feed is automatically segmented by a scraper. The formed feed falls onto a guide plate and is discharged from the outlet. This process effectively dries the raw materials during molding, improving their plasticity. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the fermented grains-based extruded feed forming machine includes a forming machine housing 1, a feed hopper 101, and a discharge port 102. The feed hopper 101 is connected to the front side of the forming machine housing 1, and the discharge port 102 is located at the bottom of one side of the forming machine housing 1. An extrusion forming mechanism is provided inside the forming machine housing 1. The extrusion forming mechanism includes: a forming ring 201, which is rotatably connected to the inside of the forming machine housing 1, with its rear end extending to the rear side of the forming machine housing 1; two extrusion rollers 202, which are movably disposed inside the forming ring 201, with the rear ends of both extrusion rollers extending to the rear side of the forming machine housing 1; a gear ring 203, which is fixedly connected to the rear side of the forming ring 201; and two gear discs 204, which are respectively fixedly connected to the rear of the two extrusion rollers 202. On the side, two toothed discs 204 are meshed and connected to the inner side of the toothed ring 203; scraper 205 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the molding machine housing 1; hot air dryer 206 is fixedly installed on both sides of the molding machine housing 1, and the air duct of the hot air dryer 206 extends into the interior of the molding machine housing 1; servo motor 207 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the molding machine housing 1; output gear 208 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 207, and the output gear 208 is meshed and connected to the outer side of the toothed ring 203. Through the cooperative use of the extrusion molding mechanism, the material can be dried before molding, which can effectively remove moisture or other volatile components from the material, help improve the uniformity of the extrusion process, and ensure the quality of the molded product.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, there are two scrapers 205, which are closely attached to both sides of the forming ring 201. The scrapers 205 are made of stainless steel. The surface of stainless steel is smooth and does not easily adhere to materials or contaminants, reducing problems caused by material residue. At the same time, the efficiency of material forming and segmentation can be improved by the action of the two scrapers 205.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, a guide plate 3 is fixedly connected inside the outer shell 1 of the molding machine. One side of the guide plate 3 extends into the interior of the discharge port 102. The guide plate 3 can guide the direction of material flow, so that the material flows more smoothly to the discharge port 102, and helps to guide the material more smoothly, thereby reducing the accumulation or blockage of material at the discharge port 102.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the top of the molding machine housing 1 is provided with a moisture exhaust port 4. There are two moisture exhaust ports 4, which are located on both sides of the top of the molding machine housing 1. The main function of the moisture exhaust ports 4 is to remove water vapor or moisture generated during the drying process of the material inside the molding machine housing 1. This helps to improve the stability of the molding process, making the production process more stable and efficient, and reducing production fluctuations caused by environmental humidity fluctuations.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, an observation window 5 is provided on the front side of the molding machine housing 1. The observation window 5 is circular and provides a clear view, allowing the operator to observe the material status and molding effect of the material in the molding process inside the molding machine housing 1 in real time, ensuring the smooth progress of the feed production molding process.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, a sealing cover 6 is installed on the rear side of the molding machine housing 1. The gear ring 203 and the output gear 208 are all located inside the sealing cover 6. A baffle plate 7 is fixedly connected to the front side of the sealing cover 6. The baffle plate 7 is located inside the molding ring 201 and between the two extrusion rollers 202. The sealing cover 6 can effectively seal the internal components of the molding machine housing 1, prevent external environmental factors such as dust, dirt, and moisture from entering the machine, protect important components from contamination, and seal the molding machine housing 1. The baffle plate 7 can prevent the material from being added to the molding ring 201 and being above the two extrusion rollers 202, preventing the material from passing through the two extrusion rollers 202 and accumulating at the bottom of the molding ring 201, which would prevent the material added to the molding ring 201 from being completely processed and formed.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During feed molding, raw materials are first added to the molding ring 201 inside the molding machine housing 1 through the feed hopper 101. Then, the hot air dryer 206 is started. The hot air dryer 206 assists in drying the raw materials, reducing their moisture content. Next, the servo motor 207 is activated. The servo motor 207 drives the output gear 208 to rotate. The rotation of the output gear 208 drives the meshing gear ring 203 and the molding ring 201 to rotate. The rotation of the molding ring 201 causes the raw materials inside to rotate along the rotation trajectory of the molding ring 201. When the molding ring 201 and the gear ring 203 rotate... While the gear ring 203 is moving, it can also drive the two meshing gear discs 204 to rotate counterclockwise at the same time. When the two gear discs 204 rotate counterclockwise at the same time, they can drive the two extrusion rollers 202 to rotate counterclockwise. Then, the rotation of the extrusion rollers 202 can extrude the raw material inside the forming ring 201. After the raw material is extruded outward, it will pass through the holes of the forming ring 201 and automatically form. While the forming ring 201 is rotating continuously, it can automatically divide the formed feed under the physical obstruction of the scraper 205. The formed feed will fall onto the guide plate 3 and be discharged from the discharge port 102. This can dry the raw material during the forming process, and the plasticity of the raw material is improved after drying.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
