Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chicken feed drying technology, specifically a circulating drying device for chicken feed. Background Technology
[0002] In egg-laying hen farming, the formulation and management of chicken feed are crucial. To ensure the healthy growth of hens and the production of high-quality eggs, farmers need to carefully select and formulate various nutrients to meet the needs of the chickens at different growth stages. This includes essential nutrients such as protein, energy, vitamins, and minerals, while also paying attention to the palatability and digestibility of the feed. A well-formulated feed not only improves the laying hen's production performance but also enhances its immunity and reduces the incidence of disease.
[0003] Chicken feed is very susceptible to moisture during storage. Moist feed not only loses its nutrients, but also affects the appetite of laying hens, thereby impacting their growth and development, egg production, and even causing digestive diseases and more serious health problems.
[0004] Chinese patent application CN201621396888.6 discloses a turkey feed drying device. The key technical features include a cylinder and supporting legs. The cylinder has symmetrically arranged supporting legs on its lower left and right sides. A material collection plate is located at the bottom of the cylinder, with a discharge port at the right end of the plate. A feeding pipe and a feeding hopper are located on the upper right side of the cylinder. A drive motor is located at the center of the top of the cylinder, with its output end passing through the top of the cylinder and connected to a drive shaft. A lifting cylinder is located outside the drive shaft inside the cylinder, and the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the drive shaft via a connecting rod. The drive shaft is located on the axis of the lifting cylinder. Spiral blades are wound around the outside of the drive shaft inside the lifting cylinder. This invention has a simple and reasonable structure, achieving cyclic crushing of feed within the cylinder, avoiding clogging of the filter screen, ensuring the device's discharge efficiency, realizing heat recovery and utilization, achieving energy saving, and demonstrating strong practicality.
[0005] In existing drying devices, after a period of use, the filter screen gradually becomes covered with damp feed and forms clumps under the action of the dryer. This causes the pore size of the filter screen to gradually shrink, reducing filtration efficiency and consequently reducing drying efficiency. Since the filter screen is fixed in design, it is not easy to disassemble, making subsequent cleaning very difficult. Moreover, although the chicken feed rolls on the inclined filter screen, it may still become clogged after accumulating in large quantities, leading to poor feed flow. Therefore, a circulating drying device for chicken feed is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and solve at least one technical problem in the background art, this utility model proposes a circulating drying device for chicken feed.

[0012] A lever is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting shaft, and the cross-section of the lever is cylindrical.
[0013] Preferably, a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the filter plate. The sealing ring is made of rubber. The sealing ring can improve the tightness between the filter plate and the side wall of the cylinder. The sealing ring is close to the side wall of the cylinder, which allows the cylinder wall to be cleaned when the filter plate is disassembled, thereby reducing the workload of the staff.
[0014] Preferably, the driving component includes a positioning block, the surface of which has an arc surface, and the surface of the driving shaft has a slot relative to the positioning block, with guide grooves on the sidewalls of the slot.
[0015] Preferably, the connecting component is a dustproof bearing with dustproof covers on both sides. The dustproof bearing has dustproof covers on its surface, so it is more durable and has a lower maintenance rate.
[0016] Preferably, a brush plate is provided on one end surface of the connecting shaft that passes through the filter plate. The brush plate surface is provided with hard bristles. An installation block is fixedly connected to the brush plate surface. A locking block is slidably connected to the surface of the installation block by a spring.

The main magnetic block and the auxiliary magnetic blocks are mutually repulsive in the same direction, and the brush plate and the lever are designed to be perpendicular to each other.
[0019] Preferably, the brush plate is divided into a main rod and a secondary rod. The brush bristles of the brush plate are arranged on the secondary rod. A right-angle groove is opened on the surface of the main rod, and a protrusion is fixedly connected in the groove. A groove is provided on the surface of the secondary rod relative to the position of the protrusion and engages with the protrusion. The opening direction of the right-angle groove is the same as the rotation direction of the drive shaft.
[0020] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0021] 1. This utility model uses a lever to scrape off the feed adhering to the surface of the filter plate, thereby preventing the filter screen from being covered by damp feed and forming dry clumps under the action of the dryer, ensuring that the filter plate can filter normally and indirectly improving the drying efficiency.
[0022] 2. This utility model uses a brush plate with bristles to clear the feed stuck in the filter screen, preventing large pieces of feed from getting stuck in the mesh and causing blockage.

[0033] 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.
[0034] Example 1
[0035] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, a circulating drying device for chicken feed includes a cylinder 1, a discharge port 3, a lifting cylinder 5 and a drive shaft 6. The drive shaft 6 is driven by a motor, and the lifting cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 6. The discharge port 3 is provided on the surface of the cylinder 1.
[0036] A support ring 18 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cylinder 1, and a filter plate 8 is provided on the support ring 18. An end cover is fixedly installed on the top of the cylinder 1 by a latch, and the motor is installed on the end cover.
[0037] Screws 2 are threadedly connected to the surface of the cylinder 1. A rubber pad is fixedly connected at the position where the screws 2 contact the filter plate 8. At least three screws 2 are provided.
[0038] A connecting component is provided between the drive shaft 6 and the connecting shaft 12. The connecting component is a dustproof bearing with dustproof covers on both sides.
[0039] A connecting shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the surface of the filter plate 8 via a connector, and the connecting shaft 12 is snapped into the drive shaft 6 via a connecting component.
[0040] A lever 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting shaft 12. The cross-section of the lever 11 is cylindrical. A sealing ring 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the filter plate 8. The sealing ring 7 is made of rubber. The driving component includes a positioning block 9. The surface of the positioning block 9 has an arc surface. The surface of the driving shaft 6 has a slot relative to the position of the positioning block 9. The sidewalls of the slots are all provided with guide grooves 21.
[0041] During operation, the motor is started to drive the drive shaft 6, which in turn drives the connecting shaft 12 to rotate. The connecting shaft 12 then drives the lever 11 to rotate. When the lever 11 rotates, it scrapes up the feed deposited on the surface of the filter plate, which then flows to the lifting cylinder 5 under the guidance of the inclined filter plate 8. After being lifted by the lifting cylinder 5, the feed continues to dry. At the same time, the lever 11 scrapes off the feed adhering to the surface of the filter plate 8, thus preventing the filter screen from being covered by wet feed and forming dry clumps under the action of the dryer. This ensures that the filter plate 8 can filter normally. Only when the feed can be filtered and passed through normally can new feed be poured in. Therefore, this method can also improve the drying efficiency.
[0042] If the filter plate 8 needs to be cleaned, first remove the end cover, then loosen the screw 2 and remove the filter plate 8. The removable design of the barrel cover and filter plate 8 greatly reduces the difficulty of cleaning the barrel 1 and improves the convenience of cleaning. Then, during installation, when the drive shaft 6 is moved downward and the guide groove 21 contacts the positioning block 9, the guide block surface has an angle, which forces the connecting shaft 12 to rotate, thereby realizing the installation and cooperation between the drive shaft 6 and the connecting shaft 12.
[0043] A brush plate 10 is provided on one end surface of the connecting shaft 12 that passes through the filter plate 8. The brush plate 10 is provided with hard bristles. An installation block 16 is fixedly connected to the surface of the brush plate 10. A locking block 15 is slidably connected to the surface of the installation block 16 by a spring. The surface of the locking block 15 has rounded corners. There are two locking blocks 15. A lever is fixedly connected to the surface of each pair of locking blocks 15. An installation groove is provided on the surface of the connecting shaft 12 relative to the position of the installation block 16. A locking groove is provided on the side wall of the installation groove relative to the position of the locking block 15. A protective plate 17 is fixedly connected to the surface of the lever. The other end of the protective plate 17 is slidably connected in the installation block 16.
[0044] During operation, the brush plate 10 with bristles can clear the feed stuck in the filter screen, preventing large pieces of feed from getting stuck in the mesh and causing blockage. At the same time, by moving the locking blocks 15 closer to each other, the locking blocks 15 are disengaged from the slots, releasing the positioning of the mounting block 16, allowing the brush plate 10 to be disassembled and replaced. The design of the two locking blocks 15 can improve the stability when fixed and prevent the brush plate 10 from falling off.
[0045] A ball head 13 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the cylinder 1 via a torsion spring. A main magnetic block 19 is fixedly connected to the surface of the ball head 13. A secondary magnetic block is fixedly connected to the surfaces of the brush plate 10 and the scraper relative to the main magnetic block 19. The main magnetic block 19 and the secondary magnetic blocks are mutually repulsive in the same direction, and the brush plate 10 and the lever 11 are designed to be perpendicular to each other. During operation, the rotation of the connecting shaft 12 will drive the brush plate 10 and the lever 11 to rotate simultaneously. When either the lever 11 or the brush plate 10 moves the secondary magnetic block to the position of the main magnetic block 19, because they are in the same direction... The principle of mutual repulsion forces the ball head 13 away from the filter plate 8. After the auxiliary magnetic block passes, the ball head 13 is reset under the action of the torsion spring, and then impacts the filter plate 8. Because the filter plate 8 is elastically designed, it can generate vibration through impact. Vibration can further improve the filtration effect of the filter plate 8. Since the brush plate 10 and the lever 11 are designed perpendicularly to each other, they can avoid mutual interference and increase the impact frequency of the ball head 13. Multiple ball heads 13 can also be set according to specific circumstances to assist in the impact.
[0046] Example 2
[0047] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown in the first embodiment, as another implementation of this utility model, the brush plate 10 is divided into a main rod 22 and a secondary rod 23. The brush bristles of the brush plate 10 are arranged on the secondary rod 23. A right-angle groove is opened on the surface of the main rod 22, and a protrusion 25 is fixedly connected in the groove. A groove is provided on the surface of the secondary rod 23 relative to the position of the protrusion 25, and it is engaged with the protrusion 25. The opening direction of the right-angle groove is the same as the rotation direction of the drive shaft 6.
[0048] During operation, the bristles will wear down after prolonged use, resulting in a decrease in unblocking effect. At this time, the auxiliary rod 23 can be disassembled by using the protrusion 25 and the groove, and the part with the bristles can be replaced separately. The end with the magnet is retained, which greatly improves economic efficiency. In addition, the right-angle groove designed in the same direction as the drive shaft 6 can prevent the auxiliary rod 23 from falling off, thereby indirectly increasing its stability.
