Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed production equipment technology, specifically to a large vertical cooler material distribution mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the feed industry is continuously developing towards large-scale and intensive production. As an essential piece of equipment in the feed pellet forming process, the cooler is related to the stability of feed product storage and restricts the production capacity of feed products.

[0003] Currently, most coolers used in the post-processing of pelleted feed in the industry adopt a vertical structure. However, for high-capacity models, due to factors such as plant layout and transportation, coolers are generally made with a rectangular cooling cross-section. In addition, the larger the output of the cooler, the larger its length-to-width ratio. This brings up the issue of the uniformity of material distribution inside the cooler. Uneven material distribution inside the cooler will result in uneven cooling. If the finished feed is not cooled evenly and contains feed with substandard moisture content, it may become moldy, thus affecting the quality of the feed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that uneven material distribution inside large vertical coolers can easily lead to mold growth in finished feed and affect its quality. A material distribution mechanism for large vertical coolers is designed to solve the problem of uneven material distribution inside the cooler, thereby preventing mold growth in finished feed due to uneven cooling and affecting its quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model designs a material leveling mechanism for a large vertical cooler. The cooler has a rectangular cross-section, and the material leveling mechanism is located inside the cooler. The material leveling mechanism includes the following structural configuration:

[0007] A mounting plate is disposed therein along the length of the cooler;

[0008] A plurality of mounting bases are disposed thereon along the length of the mounting plate;

[0009] Several chain drive components are rotatably disposed in the mounting base, with one end extending to the top outer side of the mounting base and the other end extending vertically toward the bottom of the cooler. The chain drive components are driven by chains.

[0010] Several feeding devices are respectively arranged on the chain drive assembly on the outer side of the top of the mounting base. The feeding devices are driven to rotate by the chain drive assembly to guide the material (pellet feed) to be evenly distributed in the cooler.

[0011] Several rake devices are correspondingly arranged on several chain drive components and adjacent rake devices are staggered at 90° angles. The rake devices are used to stir the material (pellet feed) dispersed in the cooler to make it evenly distributed.

[0012] And a fabric motor, which is mounted on the mounting plate, for driving one of the chain drive components to rotate.

[0013] Furthermore, a material leveling mechanism for a large vertical cooler includes a reversing reducer and a universal coupling. The reversing reducer is mounted on the mounting base, and the two ends of the universal coupling are respectively connected to the reversing reducer and the fabric feeding motor. The power output by the fabric feeding motor is transmitted to the reversing reducer via the universal coupling, and then the reversing reducer drives one of the chain drive components to rotate.

[0014] Furthermore, a material distribution mechanism for a large vertical cooler: adjacent material distribution devices are arranged in a staggered manner at a 90° angle.

[0015] Furthermore, a material distribution mechanism for a large vertical cooler includes the following structural configuration:

[0016] An angle adjustment block is disposed on the chain drive assembly on the outer side of the top of the mounting base;

[0017] The first material flow plate is used to guide the material into the cooler. The first material flow plate is provided with a first angle adjustment groove and a second angle adjustment groove at its two ends near the length direction. The angle adjustment block is rotatably connected to the first material flow plate, and the angle adjustment block is partially located in the first angle adjustment groove to adjust the included angle α between the first material flow plate and the mounting plate.

[0018] The second material flow plate is used to guide a portion of the material to fall into the cooler from below the first material flow plate. The second material flow plate is rotatably connected to the second angle adjustment groove to adjust the included angle β between the second material flow plate and the first material flow plate.

[0019] Furthermore, a material distribution mechanism for a large vertical cooler: the cross-section of the first material flow plate is set as a "U" shaped structure.

[0020] Furthermore, a large vertical cooler material distribution mechanism: the cross-section of the second material flow plate is set as a "U" shaped structure.

[0021] Furthermore, a material leveling mechanism for a large vertical cooler includes a rake device with the following structural configuration:

[0022] A rake bar is mounted on the chain drive assembly, and the length of the rake bar is less than the width of the cooler;

[0023] And a number of rake teeth, which are arranged along the length of the rake rod, for stirring the material in the cooler.

[0024] Furthermore, a material distribution mechanism for a large vertical cooler: the material distribution motor is configured as a variable frequency motor.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0026] (1) The material distribution mechanism designed in this utility model sets several material distribution devices on different chain drive components and arranges them in a staggered 90° angle configuration. This allows the material distribution devices to not only rotate inside the cooler but also guide the material (particle feed) to be distributed in the cooler from different directions. This ensures that the material is evenly distributed as soon as it is distributed in the cooler, preventing the material from accumulating in a part of the cooler's space. Then, with the stirring of the rake device, the even distribution of the particle feed in the cooler is further promoted, thus solving the problem of uneven material distribution inside the cooler. At the same time, the optimized material distribution device of this utility model also designs the first and second material flow plates, which are used to guide the material to be distributed (thrown) into the cooler, as structures with adjustable angles. By adjusting the tilt angle of the first and second material flow plates and coordinating with the overall rotation of the material distribution device, the parabolic posture of the material thrown into the cooler from the first and second material flow plates can be changed, thereby achieving all-round material distribution and effectively solving the problem of uneven material distribution inside the cooler.

[0027] (2) The cooling section of a large cooler is generally rectangular. If the material distribution device (including the material spreading device) is placed in the center of the cooler, the material distribution device can only take care of the width direction of the cooler during the rotating material spreading process, but cannot take care of the length direction. This results in the material scattered in the cooler only accumulating in a part of the space. Therefore, a large amount of material (feed) in the cooler cannot reach the space, resulting in a serious problem with the uniformity of material distribution in the cooler. This utility model sets up several material spreading devices in the length direction of the cooler and designs adjacent material spreading devices to be staggered at 90° angles. It can take care of the material distribution in both the length and width directions of the cooler. It can make the material that has just been scattered in the cooler present a uniform distribution, avoiding the material from accumulating in a small part of the space in the cooler. It solves the problem of uneven material distribution in the cooler from the source. At the same time, this utility model also sets up several rake devices arranged at 90° angles in the length direction of the cooler. After rotating, they can stir the material, promote its spread, and make it evenly distributed. This invention, through the structural design of the feeding device and the rake device, works in synergy to effectively solve the problem of uneven material distribution in large vertical coolers.

[0028] (3) The cloth-feeding motor in the uniform material feeding mechanism of this utility model is a variable frequency motor, which can realize the function of adjustable cloth speed, and can achieve a larger cloth feeding range, which is conducive to improving the uniformity of cloth.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment 1 designs a large vertical cooler uniform feeding mechanism. The cooler 9 has a rectangular cross-section, and the uniform feeding mechanism is located inside the cooler 9. It includes the following specific structural configuration:

[0040] Mounting plate 1 is disposed therein along the length of the cooler 9;

[0041] Two mounting bases 2 are disposed on the mounting plate 1 along its length;

[0042] Two chain drive assemblies 3 are rotatably mounted in two mounting bases 2, with one end of the chain drive assembly 3 extending to the top outside of the mounting base 2 and the other end extending vertically toward the bottom of the cooler 9. The chain drive assemblies 3 are driven by a chain 31.

[0043] Two feeding devices 4 are correspondingly mounted on the chain drive assemblies 3 on the outer top of the two mounting bases 2. The two feeding devices 4 are arranged at a 90° angle and staggered. The feeding devices 4 are driven by the chain drive assemblies 3 to rotate in the cooler 9 to guide the material (pelled feed) to be evenly distributed in the cooler 9. Specifically, the feeding device 4 includes an angle adjusting block 41, a first material flow plate 42, and a second material flow plate 43. The angle adjusting block 41 is fixedly mounted on the chain drive assembly 3 on the outer top of the mounting base 2. The first material flow plate 42 has a U-shaped cross-section and is used to guide the material to fall (throw) into the cooler 9. The plate 42 is provided with a first angle adjustment groove 421 and a second angle adjustment groove 422 at its two ends near its length direction. An angle adjustment block 41 is rotatably connected to the first material flow plate 42 and part of the angle adjustment block 41 is located in the first angle adjustment groove 421. This design can adjust the included angle α between the first material flow plate 42 and the mounting plate 1. The cross section of the second material flow plate 43 is also set as a "U" shaped structure, which is used to guide part of the material to fall from below the first material flow plate 42 into the cooler 9. The second material flow plate 43 is rotatably connected to the second angle adjustment groove 422. This design can adjust the included angle β between the second material flow plate 43 and the first material flow plate 42.

[0044] Two rake devices 5 are correspondingly arranged on two chain drive assemblies 3 and are staggered at a 90° angle between them. The rake devices 5 can agitate the material dispersed in the cooler 9 to make it evenly distributed. Specifically, the rake device 5 includes a rake rod 51 and a number of rake teeth 52. The rake rod 51 is arranged on the chain drive assembly 3 and its length is less than the width of the cooler 9. The number of rake teeth 52 are evenly spaced on the rake rod 51 along its length direction. The rake teeth 52 agitate the material in the cooler 9.

[0045] A reversing reducer 6 is mounted on the mounting base 2;

[0046] Universal coupling 7, whose two ends are respectively connected to reversing reducer 6 and cloth-laying motor 8;

[0047] The fabric motor 8 is mounted on the mounting plate 1. The power output of the fabric motor 8 is transmitted to the reversing reducer 6 via the universal coupling 7, and then the reversing reducer 6 drives one of the chain drive components 3 to rotate.

[0048] Currently, the cooling cross-section of large coolers 9 is generally set as a rectangular structure. If the material distribution device is arranged in the center of the cooler 9, the material distribution effect can only be guaranteed in the width direction of the cooler during the rotating material distribution process. However, a large amount of material cannot be distributed in the length direction of the cooler. This results in the distributed material being almost piled up in a circular area with the width direction as the diameter, causing uneven material distribution in the cooler. This leads to uneven material cooling, which may cause the material to mold and affect the quality of the material (feed). To address this problem, the material distribution mechanism designed in this utility model uses a variable frequency motor 8 to input power, which is transmitted to the reversing reducer via a universal coupling 7. The speed reducer 6 then transmits power to the chain drive assembly 3, which in turn drives the chain drive assembly 3 to rotate, thereby driving the material distribution device 4 and the material raking device 5 to rotate. Since the chain drive can achieve a 90° staggered arrangement of the two material distribution devices 4, it can achieve uniform material distribution over a large area within the cross-section of the cooler during operation, taking into account both the length and width directions of material distribution. At the same time, the material raking device 5 on the lower side can rak the material evenly. In addition, the first and second material flow plates 42 and 43 can achieve angle adjustment. Therefore, after the first and second material flow plates 42 and 43 rotate, the parabolic posture of the material when it is distributed (thrown) into the cooler 9 can be adjusted to achieve all-round material distribution, thereby ensuring the uniformity and reliability of the material distribution.

[0049] The above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
