[0002] In the production of biomass pellets, straw, forage, and other forage are first harvested by a harvester. The harvested straw is then transported to a crusher, where it is crushed and then fed into a biomass pellet mill for pelletizing. During this process, due to the varying lengths of the straw, longer straws can easily clog the inlet of the crusher's pickup device, affecting the subsequent pelletizing operation. For example, the technical solution disclosed in CN117598116A is a traction-type field straw pellet mill, including a straw pickup mechanism, a conveying mechanism, a pressing roller mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a screening mechanism, and a hopper. Straw and other forage from the field are conveyed to the pressing roller mechanism, where they are squeezed into the pelletizing holes to form biomass pellets, which are then temporarily stored in the hopper. However, the aforementioned problem persists, and the pickup function, pickup efficiency, and conveying effect need further improvement. Therefore, a pickup device that avoids clogging is needed to facilitate the subsequent pelletizing process. Utility Model Content

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different ways as defined and covered below.
[0028] Figure 1 This is a reference diagram showing the usage state of a preferred embodiment of this utility model; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 ; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 ; .
[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the pickup and feeding device of this embodiment is applied to a mobile pellet mill. The mobile pellet mill includes a frame, and the pickup and feeding device includes:
[0030] The grass-laying device 1 is rotatably connected to the front end of the frame and includes a grass-laying roller 5 for flattening the piled grass. The grass-laying roller 5 is provided with a crushing structure for initially crushing the grass.
[0031] The grass-picking device 2, including a picker 9 and an auger mechanism 10, is located at the rear end of the grass-laying device 1. The picker 9 is used to pick up the grass processed by the grass-laying device 1 and transport it to the inlet end of the auger mechanism 10.
[0032] The crushing device 3 is installed on the frame and includes a crushing rotary cutter 13, which is used to crush the material at the outlet end of the auger mechanism 10 for secondary crushing.
[0033] The feeding device 4 includes a drive roller 23, a driven roller, and a feeding belt 22. The drive roller 23 is used to drive the feeding belt 22 to transfer the straw processed by the crushing device 3 to the ring die pellet forming rollers of the mobile pellet mill.
[0034] The pickup 9 is implemented with reference to the existing pickup 9 technology, and will not be described in detail.
[0035] Understandably, this picking and feeding device connects to the grass-laying device 1 at the front end of the frame, allowing the grass-laying device 1 to press grass ridges onto the ground under gravity. Simultaneously, the grass-laying roller 5 rotates synchronously with its movement. While the grass-laying roller 5 presses the grass, the crushing structure on its surface initially crushes the grass and spreads it flat on the ground in sheets or clumps. After initial crushing, the picking device 9 picks up the grass in pieces as it moves forward and conveys it to the rear center of the picking and feeding device via a symmetrically arranged auger mechanism 10, reaching the crushing device 3. The crushing blade 13 of the crushing device 3 rotates circumferentially to further crush the grass output from the auger mechanism 10. Finally, the feeding device 4 sends the grass to the ring die pellet forming rollers of the mobile pellet mill for extrusion into biomass pellets. This device can significantly improve picking efficiency, basically achieving complete grass picking. At the same time, by performing two-stage crushing of the grass, it better handles longer and harder straws, making it easier for the straw to be extruded into biomass pellets.
[0036] In some embodiments, the crushing structure includes a toothed plate disposed on the outer wall of the grass-laying roller 5. The grass-laying device 1 also includes a fixed hanging plate 8 connected to the frame for passing through the grass-laying roller 5, follower wheels 7 disposed at both ends of the grass-laying roller 5, and guide fingers 6 disposed between the grass-laying device 1 and the grass-picking device 2. Specifically, the grass-laying device 1 flattens the accumulated grass by gravity. The follower wheels 7 and the grass-laying roller 5 rotate as the pellet mill moves forward, causing the toothed plate to crush part of the grass while squeezing it. The grass forms grass strips on the ground, achieving primary crushing of the grass. The guide fingers 6 guide the grass strips when they are picked up and achieve an upper limit on the grass strips, so as to guide and restrict the grass strips on the grass-picking device 2, ensuring the picking and transportation effect.
[0037] In some embodiments, the grass-picking device 2 further includes an auger frame 11 connected to the frame. The auger frame 11 is used to install the auger mechanism 10. The auger frame 11 is provided with a mounting structure 34 for the auger mechanism 10, which can adjust the mounting and fixing position of the auger mechanism 10 to match the picker 9. The picker 9 is hinged to the auger frame 11. The grass-picking device 2 also includes a first telescopic mechanism 33 that is respectively hinged to the picker 9 and the auger frame 11. The first telescopic mechanism 33 is used for telescopic movement to drive the picker 9 to swing based on the hinge point on the auger frame 11. Specifically, the hinge point of the picker 9 is preferably integrated with the auger shaft 32 of the auger mechanism 10, which makes the structure more streamlined. The first telescopic mechanism 33 is preferably implemented by a hydraulic cylinder. By controlling the hydraulic cylinder, the picker 9 is controlled to swing around the auger shaft 32 to adjust the ground clearance. At the same time, it can drive the grass-laying device 1 to swing, resulting in lower energy consumption and structural stability.
[0038] In some embodiments, the shredding device 3 includes a power mechanism and a shredding frame 12 disposed on the frame. The shredding rotary cutter 13 is provided with multiple sets of blades. The power mechanism provides rotational power to the shredding rotary cutter 13. The power mechanism drives the shredding rotary cutter 13 to rotate circumferentially, thereby moving the grass at the outlet end of the grass picking device 2 toward the feeding device 4 while cutting the grass.
[0039] In some embodiments, the blades are arranged in a spiral or V-shape on the outer wall of the shredder 13 to improve the shredding effect. Furthermore, the shredding device 3 also includes a cleaning structure 14 disposed on the shredding frame 12 for scraping off the grass on the blades. The cleaning structure 14 includes cleaning scrapers disposed on the shredding frame 12, the number of which and the spacing between them are matched with the axial spacing of the blades. When the shredder 13 rotates, the blades pass close to a cleaning scraper, and the cleaning scraper scrapes off the grass on the blades.
[0040] In some embodiments, the crushing device 3 further includes a material base plate 15 and a second telescopic mechanism 16. The first end of the material base plate 15 is hinged to the bottom of the crushing frame 12, and the two ends of the second telescopic mechanism 16 are respectively hinged to the second end of the material base plate 15 and the crushing frame 12. The second telescopic mechanism 16 is used to drive the material base plate 15 to swing and thereby control the size of the material channel outlet. The material base plate 15, together with the feeding frame, the feeding rotary cutter, and the cleaning scraper, constitutes the material channel of the feeding device. The second telescopic mechanism 16 is preferably implemented by a hydraulic cylinder. The telescopic action of the second telescopic mechanism 16 drives the material base plate 15 to swing, thereby adjusting the size of the material channel outlet and adjusting the gap between it and the feeding belt 22 arranged thereafter.
[0041] In some embodiments, the feeding device 4 includes a plurality of first driven rollers 17 and second driven rollers 18; the driving roller 23 and each driven roller are mounted and fixed by a roller frame 31, which is connected to the machine frame;
[0042] In some embodiments, the feeding device 4 further includes a tensioning mechanism 20 for maintaining the tension of the feeding belt 22 and / or adjusting the tension of the feeding belt 22.
[0043] Specifically, the tensioning mechanism 20 includes a tensioning frame 24, an adjusting rod 27, a first tension spring, a second tension spring 30, a first tensioning swing arm 25 hinged to the tensioning frame 24, a second tensioning swing arm 26 hinged to the tensioning frame 24, a first hanging plate slidably connected to the tensioning frame 24 along a preset direction, and a second hanging plate slidably connected to the tensioning frame 24 along a preset direction. A first fixing member 28 is provided on the first hanging plate, and a second fixing member 29 is provided on the second hanging plate. The two ends of the adjusting rod 27 are threadedly connected to the first fixing member 28 and the second fixing member 29, respectively. The two ends of the first tension spring are connected to the first hanging plate and the first tensioning swing arm 25, respectively. The two ends of the second tension spring 30 are connected to the second hanging plate and the second tensioning swing arm 26, respectively. The swing direction of the first tensioning swing arm 25 is located near the front end, and the swing direction of the second tensioning swing arm 26 is located near the rear end. The adjusting rod 27 is used to rotate and adjust the position of the first and second hanging plates, thereby adjusting the tension of the first and second tension springs 30 and thus the tension of the first tensioning swing arm 25 and the second tensioning swing arm 26. When the adjusting rod 27 is rotated, the first fixing member 28 and the second fixing member 29 move in opposite directions based on the axial direction of the adjusting rod 27, causing the first and second hanging plates to move in opposite directions, thereby simultaneously tensioning or relaxing the first and second tension springs 30, achieving the purpose of adjusting the tension. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. The first tensioning swing arm 25 is equipped with a first tensioning roller 21 that cooperates with the feeding belt 22, and the second tensioning swing arm 26 is equipped with a second tensioning roller 19 that cooperates with the feeding belt 22. The first tensioning roller 21 is matched with the position between the two ring die granule forming rollers to ensure the effect of forage conveying.
