Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silage fermentation technology, and in particular to a silage fermentation and storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Fermented silage storage uses a sealed structure to isolate oxygen, providing ideal anaerobic conditions for the reproduction of lactic acid bacteria. The airtight storage effectively limits the activity space of aerobic microorganisms such as putrefactive bacteria and molds. At the same time, the acidic environment produced by lactic acid bacteria metabolism further inhibits the reproduction of harmful bacteria, reducing the risk of toxin and nutrient loss. Lactic acid bacteria can quickly lower the pH value and reduce the loss of energy substances (such as starch and protein), maximizing the retention of vitamins, proteins and other nutrients in green silage. It is widely used in animal husbandry.

[0003] Currently, the silage fermentation and storage devices used in small-scale livestock production are mostly in the form of single tanks or single troughs, which cannot meet the needs for flexible space changes. For example, they cannot meet the needs for space expansion and have poor flexibility in use.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a silage fermentation and storage device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0027] Reference Figures 1-5The silage fermentation and storage device includes several annular shells 1. Multiple support blocks 2 are provided on the outside of each annular shell 1, effectively increasing its strength. An insulation layer 3 is provided between every two support blocks 2, providing insulation and effectively reducing the impact of external temperature fluctuations. Multiple first protrusions 4 are fixedly arranged around the top of each annular shell 1, and a connecting mechanism that matches the first protrusions 4 is provided at the bottom of each annular shell 1. This connecting mechanism allows the annular shells 1 to be fixedly spliced ​​end-to-end. Connecting pipes 5 are also provided on the sides of each annular shell 1. A base mechanism is provided at the bottom of each annular shell 1 to close the bottom, and a top cover mechanism is provided at the top of each annular shell 1 to close the top.

[0028] For the above example, those skilled in the art should know that when implementing the above technical solution, the inner wall of the annular shell 1 is a corrosion-resistant coating, such as a plastic layer, and the diameter of the annular shell 1 is generally 1m or 1.2m, and the height is generally 0.5m or 0.6m.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the insulation layer 3 is embedded in an arc shape between two corresponding support blocks 2. The interior of the insulation layer 3 is made of polyurethane foam, and the exterior of the insulation layer 3 is sprayed with a phosphorus-based flame retardant. Polyurethane foam is a porous polymer material with a lightweight overall structure and good flame retardant properties. The phosphorus-based flame retardant can be the existing TCPP, which inhibits flame spread and reduces smoke release, thus enhancing the flame retardant effect.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the connecting mechanism includes multiple grooves 6, which are respectively disposed at the bottom of multiple support blocks 2. Multiple first protrusions 4 can be inserted and matched with the multiple grooves 6 respectively. The side of the support block 2 is provided with a threaded hole 7 communicating with the groove 6, and the side of the support block 2 is provided with a screw 8 that is threadedly matched with the threaded hole 7. A rotating block is coaxially fixed to the end of the screw 8. The first protrusion 4 is provided with a first round hole 9 that matches the screw 8. After the first protrusion 4 is inserted into the groove 6, it can be positioned by the screw 8 inserted into the first round hole 9, that is, the threaded hole 7 can be coaxially aligned with the first round hole 9. When the two annular shells 1 are spliced ​​and fixed at the top and bottom, they are first aligned coaxially at the top and bottom, then the corresponding multiple first protrusions 4 are inserted and matched with the multiple grooves 6 respectively, and then the corresponding screws 8 are rotated and screwed into the grooves 6 in sequence, and the screws 8 are inserted into the corresponding first round holes 9, thereby realizing the positioning of the first protrusions 4, and finally realizing the end-to-end splicing and fixing of the two annular shells 1.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the connecting pipe 5 is horizontally fixed on a support block 2. The two ends of the connecting pipe 5 are connected and communicate with the inner side of the annular shell 1. The connecting pipe 5 can be sealed with a rubber stopper. Through the connecting pipe 5, the sensor probe of an existing humidity sensor can be inserted to perform humidity detection; it can also be connected to a water pipe to perform water injection to maintain humidity; or it can be connected to a gas pipe to introduce carbon dioxide gas into the interior, facilitating the rapid establishment of an anaerobic environment.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the base mechanism includes a circular base 10. Multiple second protrusions 11 are uniformly fixed to the upper side of the circular base 10. These second protrusions 11 can be respectively inserted into and matched with multiple grooves 6. Each second protrusion 11 also has a second circular hole 12 that can be inserted into and matched with a screw 8. The circular base 10 can be spliced ​​and installed at the bottom of the annular housing 1. This is achieved by inserting the corresponding second protrusions 11 into the corresponding grooves 6, and then sequentially rotating and screwing the corresponding screws 8 into the grooves 6, with the screws 8 inserted into the corresponding second circular holes 12. This positions the first protrusion 4, ultimately achieving the effect of splicing and fixing the circular base 10 to the bottom of the annular housing 1.

[0033] For the above example, those skilled in the art should know that when implementing the above technical solution, the bottom of the circular base 10 can be provided with multiple support feet, which can achieve a stable support effect, or the support feet can be set as universal support wheels, so that the circular base 10 can achieve both support effect and movement operation.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the upper and lower ends of the annular shell 1 are coated with a rubber layer, and the top of the circular base 10 is also coated with a rubber layer. The rubber layer ensures a tight seal at the connection point when the two annular shells 1 are connected end-to-end, and when the circular base 10 is joined to the bottom of the annular shell 1. The circular base 10 also has a water outlet 13 in the middle, with a filter screen inside the outlet 13, and a detachable sealing cap installed at the bottom of the outlet 13. The outlet 13 can discharge excess filtrate.

[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the top cover mechanism includes a circular cover body 14, the outer diameter of which is the same as the inner diameter of the annular shell 1, and a rubber ring is fixed to the edge of the circular cover body 14. The circular cover body 14 can be set inside the annular shell 1, and the rubber ring on its edge can ensure a sealing effect. The top of the circular cover body 14 is provided with two push handles 15 for damping rotation, and the two push handles 15 are symmetrically arranged. The top of the circular cover body 14 is surrounded by multiple bent plates 16, all of which are rotatably connected to the top of the circular cover body 14. The multiple bent plates 16 correspond to the positions of multiple first protrusions 4, and the bent plates 16 are provided with slots that match the first protrusions 4. The circular cover body 14 can be hooked onto the corresponding first protrusions 4 through the slots of the multiple bent plates 16, achieving horizontal positioning on the top of the annular shell 1. After the slots of the multiple bending plates 16 are separated from the multiple first protrusions 4, the circular cover 14 can be controlled to slide up and down inside the annular shell 1 by the two push handles 15, and the circular cover 14 can achieve the effect of squeezing the internal feed.

[0036] In this invention, the working principle of the device is as follows:

[0037] When fermenting and storing silage, the number of annular shells 1 is selected according to usage requirements. The splicing and matching of multiple annular shells 1 allows for flexible storage space configuration, effectively enabling flexible expansion. When splicing and fixing multiple annular shells 1, the circular base 10 is first installed at the bottom of the lowest annular shell 1. This is achieved by inserting and matching the corresponding second protrusions 11 with the corresponding grooves 6, and then sequentially rotating and screwing the corresponding screws 8 into the grooves 6, with the screws 8 inserted into the corresponding second round holes 12. This positions the first protrusion 4, ultimately achieving the splicing and fixing effect between the circular base 10 and the bottom of the annular shell 1. Next, the two annular shells 1 are aligned coaxially. Then, the corresponding first protrusions 4 are inserted and matched with the corresponding grooves 6, and then sequentially rotating and screwing the corresponding screws 8 into the grooves 6, with the screws 8 inserted into the corresponding first round holes 9. This positions the first protrusion 4, ultimately achieving the end-to-end splicing and fixing of the two annular shells 1.

[0038] After completing the above operations, multiple annular shells 1 form a trough, into which feed is directly filled. Then, the circular cover 14 can be controlled by two push handles 15 to slide up and down inside the annular shell 1. The circular cover 14 can compress the feed inside, achieving a compaction operation. After compaction, the circular cover 14 can be hooked onto the corresponding first protrusion 4 through the slots of multiple bending plates 16, achieving a horizontal positioning on the top of the annular shell 1. The rubber layer ensures a sealing effect at the connection when the two annular shells 1 are connected end-to-end, and when the circular base 10 is spliced ​​with the bottom of the annular shell 1. The rubber ring on the edge of the circular cover 14 also ensures a sealing effect when in contact with the inner wall of the annular shell 1.

[0039] In the above filling operation, a corrosion-resistant plastic bag can be placed inside the tank. The bottom of the plastic bag is punctured with holes. Then, feed is filled into the plastic bag, and the top is sealed by pressing down with the circular cover 14.

[0040] After loading is complete, excess filtrate can be discharged through outlet 13. Related operations can also be performed through the connecting pipes 5 of each layer. Through connecting pipes 5, the sensor probe of an existing humidity sensor can be inserted for humidity detection; water can be injected through water pipes to maintain humidity; or carbon dioxide gas can be introduced through air pipes to quickly establish an anaerobic environment. By operating through the connecting pipes 5 of each layer, the uniformity of loading at each layer can be effectively ensured, and the internal feed environment can be made as similar as possible.

[0041] 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.
