Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of harmless treatment of manure, and more specifically to a gas-circulating, interconnected dairy cow manure drying device. Background Technology

[0002] Cow manure contains abundant organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrients, but also carries harmful substances such as pathogens, heavy metals, and antibiotic residues. Therefore, harmless treatment is the core of cow manure management. The aim is to eliminate harmful substances in the manure through physical, chemical, or biological methods, ensuring that its utilization or discharge does not harm the environment or biological health. The principles of harmless treatment include reduction, harmlessness, resource recovery, and standardization. Modern harmless treatment of cow manure mainly includes three processes: "water flushing + solid-liquid separation," "mechanical scraper + solid-liquid separation," and "solid-liquid separation + biomass fuel." Among these, solid-liquid separation plays an indispensable role as a pretreatment for manure treatment. The main advantages of using a solid-liquid separation system are as follows: ① It greatly reduces the moisture content of manure, making it easier to transport and store manure; ② The separated solids can be used as cow bedding after simple treatment, saving ranches the cost of using sand or other materials for cow bedding, thus saving costs. They can also be processed into organic fertilizer for sale, increasing dairy farm income; ③ The content of suspended solids (SS) in the separated liquid is greatly reduced, so it can be used as a flushing source for cowshed floors or manure ditches for recycling, or as irrigation water for returning to the fields, thus saving water resources.

[0003] However, even after solid-liquid separation of cow manure, some moisture remains, potentially indicating the presence of pathogens or contaminants. This renders the separated manure unusable for further processing and creates additional transportation challenges, necessitating drying. However, the drying process still generates significant odors containing harmful microorganisms, causing secondary environmental pollution and posing health risks to workers. Furthermore, the heat generated during drying cannot be fully utilized.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the existing problems, how to provide a gas-circulating, interconnected dairy manure drying device that can eliminate the odor generated in the evaporated gas and the harmful microbacteria in the odor that could pollute the surrounding environment and cause certain harm to the health of workers, while making full use of the large amount of heat in the gas volatilized during drying, is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a gas-circulating, interconnected dairy cow manure harmless drying device, which can ensure that during the drying process, the odor generated in the evaporated gas and the harmful microbacteria in the odor can be eliminated, thus eliminating pollution to the surrounding environment and harm to the health of workers. It also makes full use of the large amount of heat in the gas volatilized during drying.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A gas-circulating, interconnected device for the harmless drying of dairy cow manure includes:

[0008] A drying oven, wherein a feed inlet and a discharge outlet are respectively opened on the front and rear side walls of the drying oven, and a vent is opened on the top wall of the drying oven;
