Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, and in particular to an integrated liquid feeding system for silage and feed. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional livestock farming, silage was typically cut manually and fed directly. This method is not only labor-intensive, but also results in silage pieces of varying sizes, hindering animal digestion and absorption. Furthermore, silage is prone to spoilage during storage due to improper sealing, affecting feed quality. As for dry feed, traditional methods often involve directly feeding dry feed, which may lead to picky eating and unbalanced nutrient intake in animals. Moreover, dry feed generates dust during feeding, polluting the farming environment and potentially causing respiratory diseases in animals. Silage and dry feed are usually fed separately, making it impossible to achieve a scientific ratio and meet the nutritional needs of animals at different growth stages. Additionally, the entire feeding process lacks automation, is cumbersome, and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated liquid feeding system for silage and dry feed in order to solve the above problems.

[0004] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0005] An integrated liquid feeding system for silage and dry feed includes a silage processing unit, a dry feed processing unit, a transfer unit, a fermentation tank, a fermentation unit, a bacterial culture tank, a clean water tank, a return water tank, and feeding pipelines. The silage processing unit and the dry feed processing unit pre-treat the silage and dry feed respectively, and then, in conjunction with the transfer unit, transport the mixture of silage and dry feed to the fermentation tank for fermentation. The fermentation tank is connected to the fermentation unit via a feed pipeline, and the fermentation unit is connected to the bacterial culture tank, the clean water tank, and the return water tank to obtain bacterial culture, clean water, and water from the return water pipeline. A feed silo for storing feed is located on one side of the fermentation unit, and the feed silo is connected to the fermentation unit via a feed pipeline. The fermentation unit, the clean water tank, and the return water tank are all connected to the feeding pipeline, and the end of the feeding pipeline has multiple feeding ports corresponding to each feeding position, enabling precise delivery of the fermented liquid feed to each feeding position.

[0006] Preferably, the silage processing unit starts from the silage raw material silo. A crusher is installed on one side of the silo to crush the silage raw material, making it easier for subsequent processing and animal digestion. A primary material elevator is connected to the crusher, which is responsible for lifting the crushed silage to a certain height. A storage silo is located on one side of the primary material elevator, and a conveying auger is installed inside the storage silo to transport the silage horizontally. A horizontal conveyor belt corresponding to the conveying auger is also installed on one side of the storage silo. The horizontal conveyor belt works in conjunction with a transfer mechanism to transport the silage to the transfer mechanism for further processing.

[0007] Preferably, the transfer mechanism consists of a first transfer conveyor belt and a second transfer conveyor belt. The horizontal conveyor belt is arranged perpendicularly to the first transfer conveyor belt to facilitate the receipt of silage from the silage processing unit. Second transfer conveyor belts are respectively installed on both sides of the first transfer conveyor belt, and each second transfer conveyor belt cooperates with a corresponding fermentation tank to transport the mixture of silage and dry materials to the fermentation tank. A dry material processing unit is installed at one end of the first transfer conveyor belt to achieve the convergence and mixing of silage and dry materials during the transfer process.

[0008] Preferably, the dry material processing mechanism includes a dry material silo, and a pulverizer is also installed on one side of the dry material silo to pulverize the dry material. A primary material elevator is connected to one side of the pulverizer to lift the pulverized dry material. A temporary storage silo is installed below the discharge port of the primary material elevator, and a secondary material elevator is installed in the temporary storage silo. The discharge port of the secondary material elevator is located above the first transfer conveyor belt in the transfer mechanism, so that the dry material can be smoothly transported to the first transfer conveyor belt and mixed with the silage before being transferred together.

[0009] Preferably, the fermentation mechanism includes a stirred tank. The fermentation tank is connected to the stirred tank via a feed pipeline, allowing the mixed material in the fermentation tank to be transported to the stirred tank for further fermentation. A bacterial culture tank is connected to the stirred tank via a first feed pipeline, providing the necessary bacterial culture for fermentation. A clean water tank is connected to both the stirred tank and the feeding pipeline via a second feed pipeline, allowing for the addition of appropriate amounts of clean water to the stirred tank to adjust the feed's moisture and concentration, and also providing water directly to the feeding pipeline. A return water tank is connected to the stirred tank via a third feed pipeline, used to recover water from the pipelines, achieving resource recycling. The third feed pipeline is also connected to the second feed pipeline via a branch pipeline, facilitating the processing of any remaining recovered feed.

[0010] Preferably, control valves are installed on the first, second, and third conveying pipelines, as well as the conveying branch pipes, to precisely control the flow of materials or liquids in each pipeline. A bacterial broth pump is installed on the first conveying pipeline to transport the bacterial broth from the bacterial broth expansion tank to the mixing tank; a circulation pump is installed on the third conveying pipeline to send any remaining water in the pipeline to the return water tank. Feeding pipelines are equipped with feeding pumps and control valves corresponding to several feeding ports. The feeding pumps transport the fermented liquid feed through the feeding pipelines to each feeding port, and the control valves corresponding to each feeding port can precisely control the amount of feed dispensed to each feeding position according to actual needs.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. This utility model realizes the integrated processing of silage and dry feed, forming a complete process from raw material processing and mixing to fermentation, improving feed processing efficiency and reducing manual intervention;

[0014] 3. This utility model can accurately control the flow rate of bacterial liquid and clean water, as well as the amount of feed given to each feeding position, by using control valves on each conveying pipeline and control valves corresponding to the feeding port on the feeding pipeline, thereby achieving precise feeding.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 The technical solution of this utility model will be further explained below:

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, an integrated liquid feeding system for silage and feed includes a silage processing unit and a dry feed processing unit. Both the silage processing unit and the dry feed processing unit cooperate with a transfer mechanism, which in turn cooperates with a fermentation tank to deliver a mixture of silage and dry feed into the fermentation tank for fermentation. In other words, the silage storage unit and the dry feed processing unit respectively crush the silage and dry feed, and then successively convey them to the transfer mechanism to achieve mixing. Finally, the transfer mechanism delivers the mixture into the fermentation tank for fermentation.

[0021] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the silage processing mechanism includes a silage raw material silo 1. A crusher 3 is installed on one side of the silo 1, a primary material elevator 4 is installed on one side of the crusher 3, and a storage silo 7 is installed on one side of the primary material elevator 4. A conveying auger is installed inside the storage silo 7, and a horizontal conveyor belt 8 corresponding to the conveying auger is installed on one side of the storage silo 7. The horizontal conveyor belt 8 cooperates with the transfer mechanism. That is to say, the silage raw material silo is used to store silage raw materials. The silage raw materials are poured into the crusher by a loader and manually, or the discharge port at the bottom of the silo is raised and located above the crusher. Opening the discharge port allows direct feeding into the crusher. After being crushed by the silage crusher, the material is transferred to the silo by the elevator. The silo is equipped with an auger feeding mechanism, which is equipped with a speed-regulating motor to control the material discharge speed and discharge volume. The auger feeding mechanism transfers the material to the horizontal conveyor belt, and the horizontal conveyor belt transfers the material to the transfer mechanism.

[0022] In short, silage raw materials are stored in silage silos and then crushed in a crusher by gravity or mechanical means. The crushed silage is then lifted to a storage silo by a primary material elevator, and a conveyor auger in the storage silo transports the silage to a horizontal conveyor belt, which in turn transports the silage to a transfer mechanism.

[0023] In use, silage raw materials enter the crusher from the silage raw material silo, and after being crushed, they are lifted to the storage silo by the primary material elevator. The conveying auger in the storage silo transports the silage to the discharge port on one side of the silo, where it falls onto a horizontal conveyor belt. The horizontal conveyor belt then transports it to the transfer mechanism, completing the pre-treatment and conveying of the silage.

[0024] Among them, such as Figure 1As shown, the transfer mechanism includes a first transfer conveyor belt 9 and a second transfer conveyor belt 10. The horizontal conveyor belt 8 is arranged perpendicularly to the first transfer conveyor belt 9. Second transfer conveyor belts 10 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first transfer conveyor belt 9, and each second transfer conveyor belt 10 cooperates with a corresponding fermentation tank 11. A dry material processing mechanism is provided at one end of the first transfer conveyor belt 9. That is, the horizontal conveyor belt transports the silage to the first transfer conveyor belt, and the dry material processing mechanism transports the dry material to one end of the first transfer conveyor belt, where the two are mixed. The mixed material is then transported by the first transfer conveyor belt to the second transfer conveyor belts on both sides, and then the second transfer conveyor belts transport the material to the corresponding fermentation tank.

[0025] In use, silage is processed and then transferred to a transfer mechanism, while dry materials such as corn and soybean meal are processed and then transferred to a horizontal conveyor belt transfer mechanism. The two materials are simply mixed during the transfer process to the first transfer conveyor belt. The mixing ratio of the two materials can be controlled by adjusting the speed of the first transfer conveyor belt. After mixing, the materials are transferred to the fermentation tank via the second transfer conveyor belt and used as raw materials for the liquid feeding system after continuous fermentation.

[0026] It should be noted that the first transfer conveyor belt 9 and the second transfer conveyor belt 10 are arranged perpendicularly to each other.

[0027] The length of the first transfer conveyor belt is determined based on the distance between the silage processing unit, the dry material processing unit, and the fermentation tank, generally between 5 and 20 meters. The width is selected based on the material conveying volume and mixing requirements, typically between 1 and 2 meters. The conveyor belt material is similar to that of the horizontal conveyor belt, using wear-resistant, acid- and alkali-resistant rubber or plastic. Its drive motor power ranges from 3 to 10 kilowatts depending on the load and conveying distance.

[0028] The length and width of the second transfer conveyor belt are designed according to the location and size of the fermentation tank, with a length generally between 3-10 meters and a width between 0.8-1.5 meters. It also uses wear-resistant and acid / alkali-resistant materials to ensure stable material transport to the fermentation tank. The drive motor power of the second transfer conveyor belt is between 2-8 kilowatts.

[0029] The horizontal conveyor belt and the first transfer conveyor belt are arranged perpendicularly to each other. A guiding device, such as a guide plate or a guide chute, can be installed at the intersection to ensure that the silage can be smoothly transferred from the horizontal conveyor belt to the first transfer conveyor belt. The second transfer conveyor belts on both sides of the first transfer conveyor belt are arranged at a certain angle (usually 30°-60°) to facilitate the even distribution of the mixed material to each fermentation tank.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the dry material processing mechanism includes a dry material silo 2. A crusher 3 is installed on one side of the dry material silo 2, and a primary material elevator 4 is installed on the other side of the crusher 3. A temporary storage silo 5 is located below the discharge port of the primary material elevator 4. A secondary material elevator 6 is installed inside the temporary storage silo 5. A silo 7 is located on one side of the secondary material elevator, and a tertiary material elevator is installed inside the silo 7. The discharge port of the tertiary material elevator is located above the first transfer conveyor belt 9 in the transfer mechanism. That is, dry materials such as corn and soybean meal are crushed by the crusher, and then the crushed material is transferred to the temporary storage silo by the elevator. The elevator transfers the material from the temporary storage silo to the silo, and the silo transfers the material to the first transfer conveyor belt via an auger elevator.

[0031] In other words, the dry material is fed from the dry material silo into the crusher for crushing, and the crushed dry material is then lifted by the primary material elevator to the temporary storage silo. The dry material in the temporary storage silo enters the secondary material elevator through the bottom outlet, and the secondary material elevator lifts the dry material above the first transfer conveyor belt. The dry material falls down and mixes with the silage on the first transfer conveyor belt, completing the pretreatment and conveying of the dry material.

[0032] It is important to note that the material and structure of the dry feed silo are similar to those of the silage raw material silo, and it must also have good sealing properties to prevent the dry feed from getting damp and deteriorating. Its capacity depends on the amount of dry feed used by the farm, generally ranging from 3 to 30 cubic meters. The silo can also be equipped with a discharge outlet adjustment device to control the discharge rate of the dry feed.

[0033] A hammer mill, similar to a silage mill, can be used for dry material crushing. However, the screen aperture can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the dry material, and the particle size after crushing is generally controlled between 0.3-1 cm. Its power ranges from 3 to 20 kilowatts depending on the amount of dry material processed.

[0034] Similar to the primary material elevator in silage processing facilities, either a bucket elevator or a screw conveyor can be selected based on the characteristics of the dry material and the lifting height. The conveying capacity is matched to the output capacity of the dry material crusher, generally between 1 and 8 cubic meters per hour.

[0035] Temporary storage silos have a relatively small capacity, generally between 0.5 and 2 cubic meters, and are used for temporary storage of pulverized dry materials. Anti-caking devices, such as stirring paddles or vibrators, can also be installed inside the silo to prevent the dry materials from clumping together.

[0036] The function of the secondary material elevator is to lift the dry material in the temporary storage bin to above the primary transfer conveyor belt. A small bucket elevator or screw elevator can be selected, and its conveying capacity is determined according to the discharge speed of the temporary storage bin and the feeding requirements of the primary transfer conveyor belt, generally between 0.5-3 cubic meters per hour.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the fermentation tank 11 is connected to the fermentation mechanism via a feed pipeline. The fermentation mechanism is connected to the bacterial culture tank 14, the clear water tank 16, and the return water tank 15. The fermentation mechanism, the clear water tank 16, and the return water tank 15 are all connected to the feeding pipeline 20. A feed silo 12 for storing industrial feed is provided on one side of the fermentation mechanism. The feed silo 12 is connected to the fermentation mechanism via a feed pipeline. The end of the feeding pipeline 20 is provided with several feeding ports corresponding to the feeding positions. In other words, the fermented silage is lifted to the mixing tank through a conveying pipeline, and the dry feed from the feed silo storing industrial feed is lifted to the mixing tank through a conveying pipeline. The inoculum is multiplied in the inoculum culture tank to obtain inoculum solution, which is then lifted to the mixing tank through a pump and pipeline. The liquid feeding system is also equipped with a clean water tank and a return water tank. The clean water tank provides water for the mixing process in the mixing tank and for the circulation of water in the feeding pipeline. The return water tank is responsible for the recycling of water stored in the pipeline during the feeding process of the liquid feeding pipeline. A series of substances (fermented silage, dry feed, inoculum solution, and clean water) are lifted to the mixing tank and thoroughly mixed for 10-15 minutes. After being evenly mixed, the liquid feed is transported to various feeding points in the pigsty through a feeding pump, control valve group, and pipeline.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fermentation mechanism includes a mixing tank 13. The fermentation pool 11 is connected to the mixing tank 13 via a feed pipeline. The bacterial culture expansion tank 14 is connected to the mixing tank 13 via a first feed pipeline 17. The clear water tank 16 is connected to both the mixing tank 13 and the feeding pipeline 20 via a second feed pipeline 19. The return water tank 15 is connected to the mixing tank 13 via a third feed pipeline 18, which is connected to the second feed pipeline 19 via a branch pipeline. In other words, the material in the fermentation pool enters the mixing tank via the feed pipeline, and the bacterial culture in the bacterial culture expansion tank is transported to the mixing tank via the first feed pipeline under the action of a bacterial culture pump. The clear water in the clear water tank can enter the mixing tank via the second feed pipeline to adjust humidity and concentration, or it can be directly supplied to the feeding pipeline. The third feed pipeline, under the action of a circulation pump, recovers and recycles the water stored in the liquid feeding pipeline during the feeding process, sending it to the return water tank.

[0039] Among them, such as Figure 1As shown, control valves are installed on the first conveying pipeline 17, the second conveying pipeline 19, the third conveying pipeline 18, and the straight conveying pipe. A bacterial liquid pump is installed on the first conveying pipeline, and a circulation pump is installed on the third conveying pipeline. A feeding pump and control valves corresponding to several feeding ports are installed on the feeding pipeline. In other words, by operating the control valves through the control system, the flow rates of bacterial liquid, clean water, and remaining feed in each pipeline can be precisely adjusted. The bacterial liquid pump transports the bacterial liquid from the bacterial liquid expansion tank to the mixing tank, and the circulation pump sends the water stored in the pipelines to the return water tank, i.e., the water stored in the second conveying pipeline, the third conveying pipeline, and the feeding pipeline. The feeding pump transports the fermented liquid feed through the feeding pipelines to each feeding port, and the control valve corresponding to each feeding port controls the feed dispensing according to the set feeding amount.

[0040] During system operation, staff set the opening degrees of each control valve according to fermentation requirements via the control system. The bacterial culture pump starts, delivering the bacterial culture from the culture tank to the mixing tank via the first delivery pipeline at a set flow rate; the circulation pump starts, delivering water from the pipeline to the return water tank via the third delivery pipeline. Once fermentation is complete, the feeding pump starts, delivering the fermented liquid feed through the feeding pipeline. Simultaneously, the control valves corresponding to each feeding port control the feed delivery from the feeding port to the appropriate feeding position according to the preset feeding amount, achieving precise feeding.

[0041] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
