Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of feed production and processing equipment, and in particular relates to a feed mixing, drying and crushing device. Background Technology

[0002] Mixing equipment is used to mix different types of feed. In the feed production industry, it is often necessary to use mixing equipment to uniformly mix various materials to create a more balanced and nutritious finished feed that is more conducive to the growth of livestock. Existing feed mixing devices often add and mix different types of feed directly. If the feed has a high moisture content, direct mixing can easily lead to clumping and agglomeration during crushing.

[0003] Chinese patent CN208373244U discloses a feed drying and crushing device. The device first dries the feed and then it falls into the crushing channel, where it is crushed into more uniform fragments and discharged from the machine.

[0004] However, the above solution still has some shortcomings. If grass is used as a raw material for mixing, the grass fibers are long and the grass is easy to clump together after being dried directly by the above device, which makes the subsequent mixing uneven. The grass needs to be further cut to facilitate mixing with other raw materials.

[0005] Therefore, a drying and crushing device is needed that can cut and dry forage, and is also suitable for feed mixing. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feed mixing, drying and crushing device to solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0007] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0009] The forage cutter includes a closed housing and a cutting component and a discharge component located inside the closed housing. The closed housing has a forage inlet at the position corresponding to the cutting component and a forage outlet at the position corresponding to the discharge component.

[0010] The drying assembly includes a drying chamber and a stirrer located inside the drying chamber, and the forage outlet is connected to the top side of the drying chamber;

[0011] The mixing assembly includes a mixing tank and a mixer, and the bottom outlet of the drying chamber is connected to the top of the mixing tank via a lifting auger.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the drying oven is funnel-shaped, the drying oven body is equipped with a heating element, and the top of the drying oven is equipped with a condensate exhaust port and a first addition port.

[0013] Furthermore, the housing outside the lifting auger is equipped with heating wires and insulation plates.

[0014] Furthermore, the mixing tank has a second adding port at the top and a mixing outlet at the bottom.

[0015] Furthermore, the agitator is provided with staggered agitator blades.

[0016] Furthermore, the cutting assembly includes a cutting shaft, a blade support frame, and a cutting blade. Two sets of the blade support frames are located at both ends of the cutting shaft and are perpendicular to the cutting shaft. The blade support frame has a cross-shaped structure, and the cutting blade is fixed to the cross protrusion of the blade support frame.

[0017] Furthermore, the axis of the cutting blade forms an angle with the axis of the cutting shaft, the angle being 2° to 5°.

[0018] Furthermore, the diameter of the cutting component is larger than the diameter of the discharge component, and the discharge component includes a discharge shaft and a discharge plate arranged circumferentially along the discharge shaft.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] 1) The forage cutter can cut long pieces of forage, and the drying unit can dry the moisture in the forage, making it easier to mix later.

[0021] 2) The first feeding port can be used to add other raw materials that do not need to be crushed but have a certain amount of moisture. The second feeding port can be used to add nutrients, trace elements, etc. without drying, which can ensure the quality of the final mixed feed. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0027] See Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a feed mixing, drying, and crushing device includes, in sequence according to the feeding order of forage, a forage cutter 1, a drying component 2, and a mixing component 3.

[0029] The forage cutter 1 includes a closed housing 11 and a cutting component 14 and a discharge component 15 located inside the closed housing 11. The closed housing 11 is provided with a forage inlet 12 at the position corresponding to the cutting component 14, and the closed housing 11 is provided with a forage outlet 13 at the position corresponding to the discharge component 15.

[0030] The drying assembly 2 includes a drying chamber 21 and a stirrer 22 located inside the drying chamber 21, and the forage outlet 13 is connected to one side of the top of the drying chamber 21;

[0031] The mixing assembly 3 includes a mixing box 31 and a mixer 32. The bottom outlet of the drying box 21 is connected to the top of the mixing box 31 via a lifting auger 4.

[0032] Through the above technical solution, long fiber straw with high moisture content enters the closed shell 11 from the straw inlet 12. The straw is cut into shorter straw by the cutting component 14. Then, the cut straw is discharged into the drying box 21 by the discharge component 15 to avoid the straw accumulating in the closed shell 11 and affecting the straw cutting.

[0033] The hay entering the drying chamber 21 is heated and dried by the heating element 25 inside the drying chamber 21, while the agitator 22 continuously stirs it to make the hay dry evenly and reduce the moisture in the hay.

[0034] The dried forage is lifted into the mixing box 31 by the lifting auger 4 below, and then other raw materials are added and the feed is mixed evenly by the mixer 32 to form a mixed feed.

[0035] Furthermore, the bottom of the drying chamber 21 is funnel-shaped, the drying chamber 21 is equipped with a heating element 25, and the top of the drying chamber 21 is equipped with a condenser exhaust port 23 and a first addition port 24.

[0036] Through the above scheme, the condenser is connected to an external condenser via the condenser exhaust port 23, allowing moisture to be discharged from the drying chamber 21. Simultaneously, other raw materials with a certain amount of moisture, such as beans, can be added through the first addition port 24 in the drying chamber 21. At this time, the drying component 2 can simultaneously dry the chopped forage and beans, while the agitator 22 ensures even mixing, improving the drying effect and preventing clumping.

[0037] Meanwhile, the heating element 25 inside the drying oven 21 can be an electric heating wire or a graphene heating plate. After being powered on, it heats the inside of the drying oven 21. At the same time, the outside of the drying oven 21 is equipped with an insulation board to ensure the insulation effect inside the drying oven 21.

[0038] Furthermore, the agitator 22 is equipped with staggered agitation blades. The staggered agitation blades improve the agitation effect within the drying chamber 21, ensuring that each layer of straw within the drying chamber 21 is agitated and dried.

[0039] Furthermore, the housing outside the lifting auger 4 is equipped with heating wires and insulation plates.

[0040] Through the above technical solution, the dried raw material enters the lifting auger 4 from the discharge port below, and is then lifted into the mixing box 31. The shell of the lifting auger 4 is also equipped with heating wires and insulation plates to further improve the heating and drying effect.

[0041] Furthermore, the mixing tank 31 has a second adding port 33 at the top and a mixing outlet at the bottom.

[0042] Through the above technical solution, nutrients, trace elements, etc. can be added through the second addition port 33 without drying, and then the raw materials are mixed evenly by the mixer 32 to ensure the quality of the final mixed feed.

[0043] Furthermore, the cutting assembly 14 includes a cutting shaft 141, a blade support frame 142, and a cutting blade 143. Two sets of blade support frames 142 are located at both ends of the cutting shaft 141 and are perpendicular to the cutting shaft 141. The blade support frame 142 has a cross-shaped structure, and the cutting blade 143 is fixed to the cross-shaped protrusion of the blade support frame 142. The diameter of the cutting assembly 14 is larger than the diameter of the discharge assembly 15. The discharge assembly 15 includes a discharge shaft 151 and a discharge plate 152 arranged circumferentially along the discharge shaft 151.

[0044] Through the above technical solution, the forage is formed into shorter fibers by the cutting blade 143. At this time, the cut forage can flow through the groove of the blade support frame 142 into the discharge assembly 15. The discharge plate 152 of the discharge assembly 15 can rotate to drive the cut forage into the drying box 21.

[0045] Furthermore, the axis of the cutting blade 143 forms an angle with the axis of the cutting shaft 141, and the angle is 2° to 5°.

[0046] By using the above technical solution, the cutting blade 143 and the cutting shaft 141 form a certain angle, which facilitates the cutting of grass and also facilitates the feeding of grass.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the forms disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. It can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments, and can be altered within the scope of the concept described herein through the above teachings or related technologies or knowledge.
