Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of antibiotic-reduced feed production equipment, specifically a herbal medicine pulverizing device for antibiotic-reduced feed for livestock. Background Technology

[0002] Under the trend of "antibiotic reduction" in livestock farming, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has become an important alternative to antibiotics as feed additives due to its natural and multifunctional properties (such as enhancing immunity, antibacterial and growth-promoting effects), and its low tendency to induce drug resistance. The active ingredients in TCM determine the final effect of the feed additive. Grinding, as a key pretreatment step in the preparation of TCM feed additives, involves pulverizing dried TCM to a fineness of 80 mesh or higher to meet the digestive and absorption needs of animals. Currently used grinding equipment (such as hammer mills, universal mills, and high-speed turbine mills) inevitably generates a large amount of frictional heat during grinding due to the intense impact, friction, and shearing between the rotating grinding discs or blades and the TCM and inner cavity walls. This results in high internal temperatures within the grinding chamber, destroying some heat-sensitive components in the TCM and reducing the content of active ingredients, thus weakening the effect of TCM as a feed additive. Therefore, it is necessary to design a TCM grinding device for livestock antibiotic-reducing feed that can reduce the internal temperature of the grinding chamber and prevent the reduction of active ingredient content after grinding. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a herbal medicine pulverizing device for livestock antibiotic-reducing feed that can reduce the internal temperature of the pulverizing chamber and prevent the reduction of active ingredient content after pulverizing herbal medicines, thereby solving the technical problem of loss of active ingredients in herbal medicines due to high internal temperature of the pulverizing chamber.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a herbal medicine pulverizing device for reducing antibiotics in livestock feed, including a fixed frame, a pulverizing mechanism, and a cooling mechanism, wherein the pulverizing mechanism is fixedly connected to the fixed frame;

[0005] The pulverizing mechanism includes a pulverizing cylinder and a grinding box arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The bottom of the pulverizing cylinder is connected to the top of the grinding box. The upper end of the pulverizing cylinder is fixedly connected to a feed inlet, and the lower end is open and fixedly connected to an arc-shaped filter screen. A pulverizing roller is rotatably connected inside the pulverizing cylinder. Several pulverizing teeth are fixedly and alternately connected to the inner wall of the pulverizing cylinder and the outer side of the pulverizing roller. The pulverizing roller is driven by a first motor. The lower end of the grinding box is fixedly connected to a discharge outlet. A grinding roller assembly is rotatably connected inside the grinding box. The grinding roller assembly is driven by a second motor.

[0006] The cooling mechanism includes a water-cooled jacket, a water pump, a water supply pipe, and a return water pipe. The water-cooled jacket is fixedly connected to the outside of the crushing cylinder and the outside of the grinding box. The water-cooled jacket is provided with an inlet and an outlet. The output end of the water pump is fixedly connected to the inlet through the water supply pipe, and the outlet is fixedly connected to the return water pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixing frame includes a base and a support base. Two support bases are symmetrically arranged. The bottom of the support base is fixedly connected to the top of the base. The upper end of the support base is fixedly connected to both sides of the lower end of the crushing cylinder. The inner side of the support base is fixedly connected to the outer side of the grinding box.

[0008] Furthermore, the water pump is fixedly connected to the top of the base, and the water supply pipe and return pipe are fixedly connected to the upper sides of the support base by clamps.

[0009] Furthermore, the first motor and the second motor are fixedly connected to the side walls of the crushing cylinder and the grinding box, respectively.

The active roller and the driven roller of the grinding roller group are meshed and driven.

[0010] Furthermore, a guide baffle is inclinedly arranged inside the grinding box. Two guide baffles are symmetrically arranged. One end of the guide baffle is fixedly connected to the upper side of the inner wall of the grinding box, and the other end is located above the grinding roller assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, the water pump input end is connected to the cold water tank, the return water pipe output end is connected to the cooling pool, and valves are installed on both the inlet and outlet.

[0012] This utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0013] This invention adds a water-cooled jacket to the outside of the crushing mechanism, and continuously pumps cold water into the jacket for heat exchange, thereby reducing the temperature in the working cavity of the crushing mechanism in a timely manner. This prevents the temperature from accumulating too high in the working cavity, which could lead to the loss of heat-sensitive active ingredients in the Chinese herbal medicines due to heat. This ensures that the crushed Chinese herbal medicine powder can still have various beneficial effects as a feed additive. Attached Figure Description
