Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cattle and sheep breeding technology, and in particular to an automatic forage turning and drying device. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of raising cattle and sheep, it is necessary to use forage to produce feed to feed the cattle and sheep. In the process of feed production, the forage needs to be dried.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent (application number "202320588156.0") that discloses an "automatic forage turning and drying device." This device includes a drying tank with a control panel mounted on its surface. A feeding hopper and a discharge hood are connected to the upper and lower side walls of the drying tank, respectively. A motor is fixedly connected to the front wall of the drying tank, and the output shaft of the motor penetrates the front wall and is fixedly connected to a hollow shaft. A hot air blower is fixedly connected to the rear wall of the drying tank, and the outlet of the hot air blower is connected to a hot air pipe that penetrates the rear wall of the drying tank and extends into the hollow shaft. However, during use, the inner wall of the drying tank is not heated, resulting in the forage between two adjacent hollow turning plates not being able to contact the heat in a timely manner, leading to low drying efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides an automatic turning and drying device for hay, which solves the problem of low drying efficiency caused by the fact that the drying device proposed in the prior art does not heat the inner wall of the drying tank when drying hay, resulting in the hay between two adjacent hollow turning plates not being able to come into timely contact with heat.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic forage turning and drying device includes a base, a support mechanism on the top of the base, the support mechanism including two support rollers, each with one end connected to a driven synchronous wheel via a pin, a drying mechanism above the base, the drying mechanism including a drying cylinder with several mounting slots on its lower outer wall, two end caps respectively bolted to the outer walls of both ends of the drying cylinder, several ceramic heating plates respectively embedded in the mounting slots, and a heat insulation cylinder bolted to the outer wall of the drying cylinder, a fixing mechanism on the top of the base including a telescopic cylinder and a fixing column bolted to one end of the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder, a discharge motor with one end of its output shaft connected to a driving synchronous wheel via a pin on the top of the base, a turning assembly inside the drying cylinder, the turning assembly including a turning motor, a ventilation pipe with several ventilation holes on one end of its outer wall, a turning component fixed to the middle outer wall of the ventilation pipe, and a recovery pipe penetrating and fixed to the inner wall of the top of the heat insulation cylinder, and a dust collection assembly on one side of one of the end caps.

[0007] Preferably, two support seats are bolted to the top outer wall of the base, and the two support rollers are respectively connected to the outer walls of the two support seats through bearings at both ends.

[0008] Preferably, a connecting cylinder is fixed on the inner wall of the top of the drying cylinder, and the top of the connecting cylinder is connected to the inner wall of the top of the heat insulation cylinder by bolts. The lower part of the heat insulation cylinder abuts against the outer wall of the two support rollers. A sealing plug is embedded in the connecting cylinder, and the sealing plug is connected to the outer wall of the top of the heat insulation cylinder by bolts.

[0009] The above method involves feeding hay into the drying cylinder through a connecting cylinder. The ceramic heating plate embedded on the outer wall of the drying cylinder is powered on to generate heat, which in turn heats the drying cylinder. The heat from the drying cylinder is then transferred to the hay inside the drying cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, a fixing seat is bolted to the top outer wall of the base, and the telescopic cylinder is bolted to the outer wall of one side of the fixing seat. A fixing hole is opened on the outer wall of one of the end caps, and the fixing post is inserted into the fixing hole.

[0011] Preferably, the unloading motor is bolted to the outer wall of one side of the fixed base, and the driving synchronous pulley is connected to the two driven synchronous pulleys through a synchronous belt to form a transmission engagement.

[0012] Through the above scheme, the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder moves so that the fixing column is inserted into the fixing hole on the end cover, thereby fixing the end cover and the heat insulation cylinder. The fixing column moves and disengages from the fixing hole, and the sealing plug is removed. Then the output shaft of the unloading motor rotates, driving the two support rollers to rotate. Under the action of friction, the heat insulation cylinder and the drying cylinder rotate, so that the openings of the connecting cylinder and the heat insulation cylinder face downwards, allowing the straw to be discharged from the connecting cylinder.

[0013] Preferably, the flipping motor is bolted to the outer wall of one side of the fixed base, and the ventilation pipe is connected to the outer wall of one end of the output shaft of the flipping motor via a coupling. Both ends of the ventilation pipe pass through and are connected to the outer walls of two end caps via bearings. An annular groove is opened on the outer wall of one end of the ventilation pipe, and a filter screen is embedded in the annular groove. A connecting pipe is connected to the outer wall of one end of the ventilation pipe via a rotary joint, and a T-shaped pipe is screwed onto the outer wall of one end of the connecting pipe. One end of the recovery pipe is screwed onto the upper inner wall of the T-shaped pipe, and an air supply pipe is screwed onto the inner wall of one end of the T-shaped pipe. One end of the air supply pipe is connected to the hot air blower via a flexible hose.

[0014] The above scheme generates heat by energizing multiple ceramic heating plates, causing the air in the space formed by the heat insulation cylinder and the drying cylinder to expand. The hot air then enters the recovery pipe, while the hot air blower operates to deliver the hot air into the air supply pipe. The hot air generated by the hot air blower and the hot air in the recovery pipe are then delivered into the ventilation pipe. The hot air in the ventilation pipe enters the drying cylinder through the ventilation hole at one end of the ventilation pipe. At the same time, the flipping motor drives the flipping component to rotate and flip the hay. The hot air thoroughly dries the hay in the drying cylinder.

[0015] Preferably, the dust collection assembly includes an installation tube that penetrates and is fixed to the outer wall of the end cap, an installation ring fixed to the outer wall of one end of the installation tube, and a filter bag connected to the outer wall of the installation ring by a clamp.

[0016] With the above scheme, when the hot air in the drying drum dries the hay, it also transports the dust in the hay to the installation pipe. The filter bag filters the hot air and dust and collects the dust.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. The connecting cylinder puts hay into the drying cylinder. The ceramic heating plate embedded on the outer wall of the drying cylinder is powered on to generate heat and heat the drying cylinder. The heat on the drying cylinder is transferred to the hay inside the drying cylinder.

[0019] 2. Multiple ceramic heating plates generate heat when energized, causing the air in the space formed by the heat insulation cylinder and the drying cylinder to expand. The hot air then enters the recovery pipe, while the hot air blower operates to deliver the hot air into the air supply pipe. The hot air generated by the hot air blower and the hot air in the recovery pipe are then delivered into the ventilation pipe. The hot air in the ventilation pipe enters the drying cylinder through the ventilation hole at one end of the ventilation pipe. At the same time, the rotating motor drives the rotating parts to rotate and rotate the hay. The hot air thoroughly dries the hay in the drying cylinder.

[0020] In summary, this invention enables heat to be fully distributed within the drying drum, allowing the forage to come into timely and sufficient contact with heat, thereby improving drying efficiency. Attached Figure Description
