Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed production technology, and in particular to a visual integrated device for monitoring corn crushing and material flow in a feed mill. Background Technology

[0002] In the feed production industry, grain silos are important facilities for storing raw materials such as corn. Real-time monitoring of the storage volume and status of materials in the grain silos is crucial for ensuring the continuity and stability of feed production.

[0003] However, traditional methods of inspecting grain silos have many drawbacks. They rely heavily on periodic manual inspections, requiring workers to climb to the top of the silo or use limited viewing openings. This is not only inefficient but also poses significant safety risks and makes real-time dynamic monitoring difficult. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a device that can conveniently monitor the condition of materials within the grain silo, and integrate corn crushing monitoring with visual material flow guidance to meet the demands of efficient, safe, and intelligent modern feed production. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a visual integrated device for monitoring corn crushing and guiding material flow in feed mills. By setting up an opening and closing mechanism and a rotating mechanism, it achieves flexible control of material flow and provides convenient conditions for subsequent monitoring functions, thus solving the problems of inconvenient material flow control and insufficient monitoring in existing technologies.

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

[0006] A visual integrated device for monitoring corn crushing and material flow in a feed mill includes a main pipe, a connecting pipe fixedly connected to the side wall of the main pipe, a discharge pipe connected to the connecting pipe, an opening and closing mechanism inside the connecting pipe, the opening and closing mechanism including a rotating rod rotatably connected between the inner walls of both ends of the connecting pipe, one end of the rotating rod passing through and rotatably connected to the side wall of the connecting pipe, a circular sealing plate fixedly sleeved on the rotating rod located inside the connecting pipe, the sealing plate cooperating with the connecting pipe, and a rotating mechanism for rotating the sealing plate on the main pipe.

[0007] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes a clamping hoop fixedly sleeved on the main pipe, a rotating plate fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod, and the clamping hoop and the rotating plate are elastically connected by a spring.

[0008] Preferably, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating plate, and a crossbar is fixedly connected to the fixing block.

[0009] Preferably, a connecting plate is fixedly sleeved on the feeding pipe, and a wire pipe is fixedly connected through the connecting plate.

[0010] Preferably, a steel wire rope is fixedly connected to the crossbar, and the steel wire rope passes through the conduit and is slidably connected to it.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. This utility model, through the setting of opening and closing mechanism and rotating mechanism, can flexibly control the flow of materials. The opening and closing of the connecting pipe can be realized by rotating the sealing plate, thereby controlling whether the material enters the feeding pipe. Compared with traditional devices, the operation is simpler and faster, improving production efficiency. The spring setting in the rotating mechanism can keep the rotating plate stable when not in operation, ensuring the stability of material flow during normal production. At the same time, the operation of pulling the rotating plate is simple and easy to understand, reducing the difficulty of operation for operators.

[0013] 2. The combination of crossbars, wire ropes, and conduits enables remote control of the opening and closing of the connecting pipes, facilitating operators to control material flow from different locations. Furthermore, the conduits facilitate the laying of wiring for subsequent monitoring equipment, enabling integrated visual monitoring of corn crushing and material flow. This allows for real-time monitoring of material flow, timely detection and resolution of problems during production, and improved quality and stability of feed production.

[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-5 A visual integrated device for monitoring and guiding the crushing of corn in a feed mill includes a main pipe 1. A connecting pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the main pipe 1, and a discharge pipe 4 is connected to the connecting pipe 6. An opening and closing mechanism is provided inside the connecting pipe 6. The opening and closing mechanism includes a rotating rod 12 rotatably connected between the inner walls of both ends of the connecting pipe 6. One end of the rotating rod 12 passes through the side wall of the connecting pipe 6 and is rotatably connected to it. A circular sealing plate 13 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating rod 12 inside the connecting pipe 6. The sealing plate 13 cooperates with the connecting pipe 6. By rotating the rotating rod 12, the sealing plate 13 can be rotated, thereby opening and closing the connecting pipe 6 and controlling whether the material enters the discharge pipe 4 through the connecting pipe 6. A rotating mechanism for rotating the sealing plate 13 is provided on the main pipe 1.

[0022] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a clamping hoop 3 fixedly sleeved on the main pipe 1, and a rotating plate 9 fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 12. The clamping hoop 3 and the rotating plate 9 are elastically connected by a spring 8. The spring 8 ensures that the rotating plate 9 remains relatively stable when no external force is applied. When it is necessary to rotate the sealing plate 13, pulling the rotating plate 9 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 8, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating rod 12 and the sealing plate 13. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0023] Furthermore, a fixing block 10 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating plate 9, and a crossbar 11 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 10. The crossbar 11 facilitates the operator to pull the rotating plate 9, improving the convenience of operation.

[0024] Furthermore, a connecting plate 5 is fixedly sleeved on the feeding pipe 4, and a wire conduit 7 is fixedly connected through the connecting plate 5. The wire conduit 7 provides a channel for the subsequent wiring of the monitoring equipment, which is conducive to realizing the integrated setting of monitoring functions.

[0025] Furthermore, a steel wire rope 2 is fixedly connected to the crossbar 11. The steel wire rope 2 passes through the conduit 7 and is slidably connected to it. By pulling the steel wire rope 2, the crossbar 11, the rotating plate 9, the rotating rod 12, and the sealing plate 13 can be rotated, thereby realizing remote control of the opening and closing of the connecting pipe 6 and further improving the flexibility of operation.

[0026] In use, the operator can remotely control the opening and closing of the connecting pipe 6 by pulling the steel wire rope 2 on the crossbar 11. The steel wire rope 2 passes through the guide pipe 7 and drives the crossbar 11 to move. The crossbar 11 then drives the fixed block 10 and the rotating plate 9 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating rod 12 and the sealing plate 13. This allows the operator to flexibly adjust the material flow according to actual production needs from a position away from the device. To facilitate the viewing of materials in the grain silo, the device provides a channel for the laying of monitoring equipment lines through the guide pipe 7 fixedly connected by the connecting plate 5 on the discharge pipe 4. High-definition cameras, material level sensors and other monitoring equipment can be installed inside the grain silo. The real-time images of materials in the grain silo captured by the camera and the data such as the material storage volume detected by the material level sensor are transmitted to the central control system through the lines in the guide pipe 7. Operators in the control room can use the display screen to view the storage volume, stacking status, and presence of caking of materials in the grain silo in real time. They can also use data analysis to understand the consumption rate of materials so as to arrange material replenishment in a timely manner. At the same time, based on the actual situation of the materials in the grain silo, they can reasonably adjust the corn crushing and material guiding process to achieve intelligent management of the production process.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
