Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model provides a fermentation device for silage of wolfberry branches, belonging to the technical field of fermentation devices, and particularly relates to a fermentation device for silage of wolfberry branches. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of animal husbandry, the supply of high-quality feed has become one of the key factors in ensuring the healthy growth of livestock and improving breeding efficiency. As an agricultural waste with certain nutritional value, wolfberry branches have seen increasing attention being paid to the development and utilization of silage. By processing wolfberry branches into silage, not only can agricultural resources be effectively utilized and waste reduced, but livestock can also be provided with feed rich in various nutrients, promoting the sustainable development of animal husbandry.

[0003] When pre-treating goji berry branches, they are usually shredded into small pieces to improve palatability and fermentation efficiency. However, the shredded branches trap a large amount of air within themselves and in their gaps. Since silage fermentation relies heavily on an anaerobic environment, the presence of a large amount of air severely hinders its formation. This leads to the rapid proliferation of aerobic microorganisms in the early stages of fermentation, consuming nutrients and generating heat. This raises the feed temperature, reducing its nutritional value, causing spoilage, and ultimately affecting the fermentation process and the quality of the silage.

[0004] Secondly, to improve the fermentation quality and nutritional value of wolfberry silage, molasses and other nutrients are often added during the fermentation process. Molasses is rich in sugar, providing ample energy for the growth and reproduction of beneficial microorganisms such as lactic acid bacteria, thus promoting the smooth progress of fermentation. However, in existing fermentation equipment, the poor fluidity of molasses makes it difficult to ensure its even distribution within the wolfberry branches. Uneven molasses addition can lead to localized areas with excessively high or low sugar levels, resulting in inconsistent growth and fermentation of lactic acid bacteria and other microorganisms, thereby affecting the stability of the entire fermentation process and the quality of the silage.

[0005] Finally, removing the wolfberry silage from the fermentation device after fermentation is also a challenge. Existing fermentation devices are prone to blockages and residues during the feeding process, which not only increases labor intensity and feeding time but may also lead to feed waste.

[0006] In summary, existing wolfberry branch silage fermentation devices have many shortcomings and cannot meet the needs of actual production. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of wolfberry branch silage fermentation device to solve the above problems and improve the fermentation quality and production efficiency of wolfberry branch silage. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that the air stored in the gaps between the crushed wolfberry branches can easily affect the formation of an anaerobic environment, and the uniformity is insufficient when adding auxiliary materials such as molasses. In addition, blockage residue is prone to occur when discharging the material after fermentation.

[0008] To solve the above problems, the proposed technical solution is as follows: a fermentation device for silage of wolfberry branches, comprising a support frame and a fermentation cylinder, the fermentation cylinder being fixedly installed inside the support frame; and further comprising:

[0009] The fermentation cylinder has an L-shaped frame fixed to the ground above it, and the compaction plate, which can compact the wolfberry branches, is slidably mounted inside the frame, corresponding to the upper end of the fermentation cylinder. The fermentation cylinder has an open structure at both ends. The upper end of the fermentation cylinder has a detachable upper sealing plate that closes the upper opening, and the lower end of the fermentation cylinder has a detachable lower sealing plate that closes the lower opening. The compaction plate, which can push the wolfberry branch silage out of the fermentation cylinder, has a storage groove inside, which stores molasses. The bottom of the compaction plate has several evenly distributed dispersion holes that communicate with the storage groove.

[0010] As an improvement, the compaction plate is cylindrical, and the diameter of the compaction plate corresponds to the inner wall of the fermentation cylinder.

[0011] As an improvement, a cylindrical receiving box is provided below the fermentation cylinder and placed on the ground, the diameter of which is larger than that of the fermentation cylinder.

[0012] As an improvement, an electric telescopic rod is provided inside the compaction plate, and a sealing plate that can block all the dispersion holes is fixedly connected to the working end of the electric telescopic rod; a blocking rod that is inserted into the dispersion hole is fixedly connected below the sealing plate.

[0013] As an improvement, the number of the blocking rods is the same as the number of the dispersing holes, and the lower end of the blocking rod is flush with the lower end of the dispersing hole; the compaction plate is provided with a feed hole, and a screw plug is threaded into the feed hole.

[0014] As an improvement, the fixing frame is provided with a hydraulic rod, and the working end of the hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to the compaction plate.

[0015] As an improvement, sealing grooves are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the fermentation cylinder, and sealing blocks that are inserted into the sealing grooves are fixedly connected to both the upper and lower sealing plates.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] A compaction plate, capable of compacting goji berry branches, is slidably mounted within a fixed frame. This sliding plate allows for layered compaction of the goji berry branches, reducing gaps between them and improving anaerobic efficiency. A removable lower sealing plate seals the bottom opening of the fermentation cylinder. During feeding, the lower sealing plate can be opened directly, and the compaction plate pushes the fermented goji berry silage down, preventing blockages and residue. Furthermore, the compaction plate incorporates storage grooves and dispersion holes, enabling the uniform addition of molasses into the fermentation cylinder. In summary, this application achieves three benefits in one: compaction of goji berry branches, ease of feeding, and significantly improved uniformity of molasses addition.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] according to Figure 1-4 As shown: This utility model provides a fermentation device for silage of wolfberry branches: including a support frame 5 and a fermentation cylinder 4, the fermentation cylinder 4 being fixedly installed inside the support frame 5; an L-shaped fixing frame 1 fixedly installed on the ground is provided above the fermentation cylinder 4, and a compaction plate 3 capable of compacting the wolfberry branches is slidably installed inside the fixing frame 1, and the compaction plate 3 corresponds to the upper end of the fermentation cylinder 4; the compaction plate 3 is cylindrical, and the diameter of the compaction plate 3 corresponds to the inner wall of the fermentation cylinder 4; by setting the sliding compaction plate 3, it can enter the fermentation cylinder 4 to compact the wolfberry branches inside the fermentation cylinder 4;

[0025] like Figure 2As shown, a hydraulic rod 2 is provided on the fixed frame 1, and the working end of the hydraulic rod 2 is fixedly connected to the compaction plate 3; by providing the hydraulic rod 2, the up and down sliding control of the compaction plate 3 can be easily achieved.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, the fermentation cylinder 4 has an opening at both the top and bottom. The upper end of the fermentation cylinder 4 is equipped with a removable upper sealing plate 8 that closes the upper opening, and the lower end is equipped with a removable lower sealing plate 7 that closes the lower opening. Sealing grooves 15 are provided at both the top and bottom of the fermentation cylinder 4, and sealing blocks 16, which are inserted into the sealing grooves 15, are fixedly connected to both the upper sealing plate 8 and the lower sealing plate 7, increasing the sealing performance of the connection between the two sealing plates. A cylindrical receiving box 6, with a diameter larger than that of the fermentation cylinder 4, is located below the fermentation cylinder 4 and placed on the ground. The fermentation cylinder 4's lower opening facilitates material feeding, and during feeding, the compaction plate 3 helps to push out the wolfberry silage material inside the fermentation cylinder 4, preventing blockages and residue.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, a storage trough 12 is provided in the compaction plate 3 that can push the wolfberry branch silage out of the fermentation cylinder 4. Molasses is stored in the storage trough 12. Several evenly distributed dispersion holes 9 are provided at the bottom of the compaction plate 3 and are connected to the storage trough 12. By setting the evenly distributed dispersion holes 9, the uniformity of adding molasses can be increased.

[0028] An electric telescopic rod 14 is installed inside the compaction plate 3. The working end of the electric telescopic rod 14 is fixedly connected to a sealing plate 13 that can block all the dispersion holes 9. The electric telescopic rod 14 facilitates the control of molasses addition. A blocking rod 10 is fixedly connected below the sealing plate 13, which is inserted into the dispersion holes 9. The number of blocking rods 10 is the same as the number of dispersion holes 9, and the lower end of the blocking rod 10 is flush with the lower end of the dispersion hole 9. The blocking rod 10 can block the dispersion holes 9, thereby ensuring that the lower end of the compaction plate 3 is flat and preventing wolfberry branches from getting stuck in the dispersion holes 9 during the compaction process. The compaction plate 3 has a feed hole 11, and a screw plug is threaded into the feed hole 11 to facilitate the addition of molasses into the storage tank 12.

[0029] The principle of this utility model

[0030] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, when using this application, open the upper sealing plate 8, add wolfberry branches crushed into 2-5 cm pieces into the fermentation cylinder 4, and add them in layers; Figure 3As shown, after each layer of goji berry branches is added, the electric telescopic rod 14 is first activated, causing the sealing plate 13 to move the blocking rod 10 upwards, allowing the molasses in the storage tank 12 to flow evenly into the fermentation cylinder 4 through multiple dispersion holes 9. After addition, the electric telescopic rod 14 is activated again, causing the sealing plate 13 to re-block all the dispersion holes 9. Then, the hydraulic rod 2 is activated, causing the compaction plate 3 to move downwards, compacting the goji berry branches in that layer. This process of adding goji berry branches, adding molasses, and compacting is repeated until the goji berry branches completely fill the fermentation cylinder 4. At this point, the goji berry branches, after being compacted multiple times in layers, greatly increase the density, which is more conducive to the formation of an anaerobic environment. At the same time, the molasses in each layer is added evenly through the dispersion holes 9, and after multiple additions, it is evenly distributed within the goji berry branches. After addition is complete, the fermentation cylinder 4 is sealed using the upper sealing plate 8, and fermentation can begin.

[0031] When fermentation is complete and the wolfberry branch silage needs to be added, such as Figure 4 As shown, first, remove the upper sealing plate 8 and the lower sealing plate 7, then start the hydraulic rod 2 to drive the compaction plate 3 to move down, so that the compaction plate 3 pushes the wolfberry branch silage in the fermentation cylinder 4 into the receiving box 6, which will not cause the discharge blockage or residue problem.

[0032] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
