[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0024] Example
[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a poultry manure dryer is horizontally placed at the air outlet of the rear fan 7 of the chicken house 6. It includes an intermediate frame 1 with a conveyor belt, side frames 2 located on both sides of the intermediate frame 1 for auxiliary support of the intermediate frame 1, a conveyor belt drive motor 3 installed on the top of the side frames 2, a manure discharge mechanism 4 installed inside the side frames 2 for cleaning the conveyor belt, and a manure cleaning tail frame 5 located outside the side frames 2 for fixed installation in conjunction with the side frames 2.
[0026] The intermediate frame 1 includes a column 11, conveyor belt cross support rods 12 with rollers installed at equal intervals from the lower end of the column 11 upwards, a reinforcing rod 13 fixedly installed with the column 11 and located above the conveyor belt cross support rods 12, and a roller base frame 14 installed at equal intervals below the conveyor belt cross support rods 12 to limit the sagging of the conveyor belt.
[0027] Several geared conveyor belt power rollers 21 are installed at equal intervals inside the side frame 2. Near each conveyor belt power roller 21, the side frame 2 is equipped with a driven gear 22 connected to the conveyor belt drive motor 3 via a chain. The driven gear 22 meshes with the gear of the conveyor belt power roller 21, thereby driving the conveyor belt power roller 21 to rotate through the conveyor belt drive motor 3, which in turn drives the conveyor belt to move. This facilitates the movement of manure on the conveyor belt, which is then dried after hot air is blown out by the fan in the chicken house.
[0028] Several inlet belt connecting frames 23 and several outlet belt connecting frames 24 are welded on the side of the side frame 2 facing the middle frame 1. The inlet belt connecting frames 23 and outlet belt connecting frames 24 are installed alternately and are distributed at equal intervals.
[0029] Several equally spaced tail scrapers 231 are installed at the bottom of the connecting frame 23. Specifically, they are capable of scraping off manure clumps from the surface of the conveyor belt entering the intermediate frame 1.
[0030] The manure unloading mechanism 4 includes a manure unloading plate 41 fixedly installed with the side frame 2, and a manure cleaning scraper 42 fixedly installed above the manure unloading plate 41 and in contact with the conveyor belt. Specifically, the manure unloading plate 41 is located below the conveyor belt power roller 21, and the manure cleaning scraper 42 is close to and in close contact with the conveyor belt on the conveyor belt power roller 21. It can perform manure scraping on the moving conveyor belt power roller 21, and the scraped manure is guided by the manure unloading plate 41 to the moving conveyor belt below, and then put back into the intermediate frame 1 for drying treatment until it is finally scraped out.
[0031] The manure removal tail frame 5 includes a support frame 51, transverse guide rails 52 equidistantly installed on the support frame 51 facing the side frame 2, a head pulley 53 installed below the transverse guide rails 52 for steering the conveyor belt, an adjusting chain 54 with one end connected to the head pulley 53 and the other end extending to the support frame 51, and a manual winch 55 installed on the support frame 51 for winding the adjusting chain 54. Specifically, the head pulley 53 can not only turn the conveyor belt, but also, in conjunction with the manual winch 55 and the adjusting chain 54, adjust the tension of the conveyor belt, thus preventing belt misalignment.
[0032] Working principle
[0033] Conveyor belt operation: The conveyor belt drive motor 3 drives the driven gear 22 through the chain, which drives the conveyor belt power roller 21 to rotate, so that the conveyor belt moves between the intermediate frame 1 and the side frame 2.
[0034] Manure transport: The manure in the chicken house is placed on a conveyor belt. As the conveyor belt moves, the manure is transported to the intermediate rack 1 for drying.
[0035] Manure drying: Hot air from the chicken house fan blows across the manure on the conveyor belt, drying it.
[0036] Fecal cleaning: When the feces on the conveyor belt passes the cleaning scraper 42, the fecal blocks are scraped off and guided by the unloading plate 41 to the moving conveyor belt below, and then re-enter the intermediate frame 1 for drying.
[0037] Conveyor belt adjustment: Adjust the position of the head pulley 53 by manually turning the winch 55 and adjusting the chain 54 to ensure that the tension of the conveyor belt is appropriate and to prevent the conveyor belt from deviating.
[0038] It only needs to be explained in one step that the manure dryer is placed horizontally at the rear of the chicken house, using the heat exhausted from the chicken house's fans for drying. This design has the following advantages:
[0039] 1. Utilizing the heat discharged from the chicken coop's fans as drying energy avoids additional energy consumption. This approach not only reduces energy costs but also effectively reduces greenhouse gas emissions, meeting energy conservation and environmental protection requirements.
[0040] 2. The heat discharged from the chicken coop fans is usually waste heat. Directly introducing it into the dryer for manure drying can efficiently utilize the heat resources within the chicken coop. This reduces dependence on external energy sources, avoids heat waste, and improves resource utilization efficiency.
[0041] 3. By using the heat exhausted by the fan, the heating part of the dryer is less burdened, reducing the need for additional heating devices and thus lowering equipment investment and maintenance costs;
[0042] 4. Heat dissipation not only helps dry the manure, but also helps the air circulate and reduce humidity in the chicken house, maintaining a suitable temperature and humidity, which helps improve the air quality in the chicken house, avoids the growth of bacteria and germs due to excessive moisture, and further improves the health of the chickens.
[0043] 5. Traditional manure drying processes typically require heating with fuel or electricity, which can lead to greenhouse gas emissions. Using heat from the exhaust of chicken coop fans for drying avoids the consumption of traditional energy sources, thus reducing pollutant emissions.
[0044] 6. The purpose of using chicken coop fans is for ventilation, and the discharge of hot air usually results in heat loss. However, using this heat to dry manure not only improves the overall efficiency of the fan operation but also helps to speed up the drying process of manure, shorten the processing time, and improve overall work efficiency.
[0045] In summary, this waste heat utilization design further improves the automation level of the sewage treatment process, reduces manual intervention, and the automated operation can better ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
[0046] The above embodiments of this utility model are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. The implementation of this utility model is not limited thereto. All other modifications, substitutions or alterations made to the above structure of this utility model based on the above content of this utility model and in accordance with the common technical knowledge and conventional means in the field, without departing from the basic technical idea of this utility model, shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
