[0024] 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.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The present invention will describe the above technical solution in detail through the following embodiments:

[0026] An automated forage processing device includes: a washing box 1; a support frame 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the washing box 1, and a drying box 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the washing box 1 away from the support frame 2; a discharge pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drying box 3; a sieve cylinder 5 is installed inside the washing box 1, one end of the sieve cylinder 5 passes through the support frame 2 and extends to the outside of the support frame 2, and the other end of the sieve cylinder 5 is rotatably connected to the drying box 3; a spray mechanism 6 for conveying and washing the forage is provided on the outer surface of the end of the sieve cylinder 5 located outside the support frame 2; and the drying box 3 is equipped with... There is a drying mechanism 7 for cutting the washed hay. The user puts the harvested hay into the sieve cylinder 5. The sieve cylinder 5 rotates in conjunction with the spray mechanism 6. The sieve cylinder 5 rotates synchronously and continuously conveys the hay to the drying box 3. During the conveying process, the device sprays water onto the hay to wash away the dust on the surface of the hay. After the hay is conveyed into the drying box 3, the drying mechanism 7 cuts and stirs the hay. At the same time as cutting and stirring the hay, the hay is heated to ensure that the hay is heated evenly.

[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the spraying mechanism 6 includes: a first gear 8 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the screen cylinder 5 located at one end outside the support frame 2; a second gear 9 meshing with the top of the first gear 8; a first rotating shaft 10 fixedly connected to the center of the second gear 9; a first motor 11 fixedly connected to the end of the first rotating shaft 10 away from the second gear 9; the first motor 11 fixedly connected to the support frame 2 and the cleaning tank 1; a spiral conveyor belt 12 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the screen cylinder 5; several filter holes 13 evenly opened inside the screen cylinder 5; a spray pipe 14 provided at the top of the screen cylinder 5; several high-pressure nozzles 15 evenly fixedly connected to the bottom of the spray pipe 14; the high-pressure nozzles 15 cooperate with the screen cylinder 5 and the filter holes 13; two connecting pipes 16 fixedly connected to the top of the spray pipe 14. The top of each of the 16 pipes passes through the washing box 1 and extends to the connector 17. The connecting pipes 16 are all fixedly connected to the washing box 1. The first motor 11 is started. The output end of the first motor 11 drives the first rotating shaft 10. While the first rotating shaft 10 rotates, it drives the second gear 9. The second gear 9 drives the first gear 8 to rotate slowly. While the first gear 8 rotates, it drives the screen cylinder 5. The screen cylinder 5 rotates by cooperating with the drying box 3 through the support frame 2. While the screen cylinder 5 rotates, it drives the spiral conveyor belt 12. The spiral conveyor belt 12 continuously pushes the hay into the drying box 3 to tumble and move. While the hay moves, the high-pressure nozzle 15 sprays water into the hay inside the screen cylinder 5. The water flow washes away the dust on the surface of the hay, so that the dust and water flow together into the bottom of the washing box 1 through the water filter hole 13 inside the screen cylinder 5.

[0028] like Figure 4As shown, a water storage tank 18 with a water inlet is fixedly connected to one side of the washing tank 1. A submersible pump 19 is installed inside the water storage tank 18. A three-way pipe 20 is fixedly connected to the output end of the submersible pump 19. The two ends of the three-way pipe 20 away from the submersible pump 19 are fixedly connected to the connector 17 respectively. When the submersible pump 19 is started, the submersible pump 19 draws water from the water storage tank 18 and delivers the water to the connector 17 through the three-way pipe 20. The water flows into the interior of the spray pipe 14 through the connector 17 and the connecting pipe 16. Finally, the high-pressure nozzle 15 sprays the water onto the pasture inside the screen cylinder 5.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the drying mechanism 7 includes: dryers 21 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the inner wall of the drying chamber 3; a second rotating shaft 22 is set in the middle of the four dryers 21; the top of the second rotating shaft 22 passes through the drying chamber 3 and extends to the second motor 23; the second motor 23 is fixedly connected to the drying chamber 3; the second rotating shaft 22 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 23; five blades 24 are evenly arranged on the outer surface of the second rotating shaft 22 inside the drying chamber 3, and the blades 24 are staggered; a temperature and humidity sensor 25 is fixedly connected to the drying chamber 3 near the second rotating shaft 22; the temperature and humidity sensor 25 cooperates with the dryers 21 to start the second motor 23 and the dryers 21 simultaneously; the output end of the second motor 23 drives the second rotating shaft 22; the second rotating shaft 22 drives the blades 24; while the blades 24 rotate, they continuously cut and stir the hay; the dryers 21 heat and dry the hay; and the temperature and humidity sensor 25 continuously detects the temperature and humidity inside the drying chamber 3.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a third rotating shaft 26 is installed inside the discharge pipe 4. One end of the third rotating shaft 26 passes through the discharge pipe 4 and extends to the third motor 27. The third motor 27 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 4, and the third rotating shaft 26 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor 27. An auger blade 28 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the third rotating shaft 26 inside the discharge pipe 4. The auger blade 28 is adapted to the discharge pipe 4. When the user puts the packaging bag on the outside of the discharge pipe 4, the third motor 27 is automatically started when the humidity inside the drying chamber 3 reaches the set minimum threshold. The output end of the third motor 27 drives the third rotating shaft 26. While the third rotating shaft 26 rotates, it drives the auger blade 28. While the auger blade 28 rotates, it continuously pushes the hay through the discharge pipe 4 into the inside of the packaging bag, thereby baling the hay.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, a drain outlet 29 is provided at the center of the bottom of the cleaning box 1, and support rods 30 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the drying box 3. The support rods 30 cooperate with the support frame 2, and the water inside the cleaning box 1 is continuously discharged to the outside of the device through the drain outlet 29. The support rods 30 improve the stability of the device placement.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a control box 31 with an internal touch screen is fixedly connected to one side of the drying oven 3, making it convenient for users to operate the device.

[0033] Working principle: The first motor 11 and submersible pump 19 are started. Then, the harvested hay is put into the sieve cylinder 5. The output end of the first motor 11 drives the first rotating shaft 10. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 10 drives the second gear 9. The second gear 9 drives the first gear 8 to rotate slowly. The rotation of the first gear 8 drives the sieve cylinder 5. The sieve cylinder 5 rotates by cooperating with the support frame 2 and the drying box 3. The rotation of the sieve cylinder 5 drives the spiral conveyor belt 12. The spiral conveyor belt 12 continuously pushes the hay into the drying box 3. While the hay is moving, the submersible pump 19 draws water from the water storage tank 18 and delivers the water through the three-way pipe 20 to the connector 17. From the connector 17 and the connecting pipe 16, the water flows into the spray pipe 14 and finally through the high-pressure nozzle 1. 5. Water is sprayed onto the hay inside the screen cylinder 5. The water flow washes away the dust on the surface of the hay, allowing the dust and water to flow together through the water filter holes 13 inside the screen cylinder 5 into the bottom of the washing tank 1, and finally discharged to the outside of the device through the drain outlet 29. This allows for continuous tumbling and conveying of the harvested hay, and washes away the dust on the surface of the hay while tumbling and conveying it, thus improving the product quality of hay production. This solves the problem that although existing automated hay processing devices can dry and pack hay, because hay is generally grown in the open air, dust in the air will adhere to the surface of the hay. Existing hay processing devices cannot clean the dust on the surface of the hay, resulting in serious internal dust and poor product quality after processing.

[0034] The user places the packaging bag over the outside of the discharge pipe 4 and simultaneously starts the second motor 23 and the dryer 21. The output of the second motor 23 drives the second rotating shaft 22, which in turn drives the cutter head 24. The cutter head 24 rotates while continuously cutting and mixing the forage. Meanwhile, the dryer 21 heats and dries the forage. The temperature and humidity sensor 25 continuously monitors the temperature and humidity inside the drying chamber 3. When the humidity inside the drying chamber 3 reaches the set minimum threshold, the third motor 27 is automatically started. The output of the third motor 27 drives the third rotating shaft 26, which rotates while simultaneously... The rotating auger blades 28 continuously push the hay through the discharge pipe 4 into the packaging bag, thus baling the hay. The machine can cut and mix the washed hay, and simultaneously heat and dry it, ensuring even heating and improving the drying effect. This solves the problem that existing automated hay processing devices, while capable of drying hay, lack the function of mixing the hay, resulting in faster drying near the heat source and slower drying further away, leading to poor drying results.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
