Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed production, specifically a maturation device for feed production. Background Technology
[0002] The maturation and conditioning of feed is a core component of the feed processing flow, and its importance is self-evident. In the conditioner, the ingenious use of high-pressure steam is key. It not only provides the necessary heat and moisture for starch gelatinization, tight particle adhesion, and effective killing of pathogens in the feed, but also profoundly affects the quality and production efficiency of the final pelleted feed.
[0003] Existing feed maturation technologies, such as the feed maturation equipment disclosed in CN223142827U, involve feed entering a reversible conveyor and undergoing a reverse conveying process. This process allows the feed to rub against the inner wall of the return cylinder, and combined with the continuous heating effect of the heating cylinder, the temperature of the feed is further increased, ensuring the maximum degree of maturation. However, in actual use, because the feed is solid rather than liquid and has poor fluidity, although it can stay in the return cylinder for a relatively long time and rub against the inner wall, it will become stuck inside the return cylinder and cannot be effectively conveyed. Therefore, we propose a maturation device for feed production. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a maturation device for feed production, including a straight cylinder. A circular plate is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the straight cylinder, and the circular plate has a discharge port. The outer wall of the straight cylinder is rotatably connected to a frustum cylinder through a sealed bearing. The outer wall of the circular plate slides against the inner wall of the frustum cylinder. The outer wall of the frustum cylinder is rotatably connected to an intermediate frame through a sealed bearing. The feed in the straight cylinder is conveyed and maturated by a conveying maturation component. When the conveying maturation component is working, it drives a drive component to work. When the drive component is working, it drives the frustum cylinder to rotate so as to realize the downward conveying of the feed in the frustum cylinder.
[0005] Preferably, the conveying and curing assembly includes a rotating shaft, which is rotatably connected to a straight cylinder via two sets of sealed bearings. One end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the drive end of a motor via a coupling. The inner wall of the other end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to a steam pipe via a sealed bearing. A stabilizing component is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the steam pipe. The stabilizing component is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the straight cylinder. A spiral blade and a baffle plate are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. The outer wall of the baffle plate movably fits against the inner wall of the straight cylinder. The inner cavity of the steam pipe communicates with the inner cavity of the rotating shaft. Multiple sets of air holes are provided on the rotating shaft.
[0006] Preferably, the top of the straight cylinder is connected to a feeding hopper, and the bottom of the straight cylinder is provided with a discharge port.
[0007] Preferably, multiple sets of support members are fixedly installed at both ends of the straight cylinder, and the support members are fixedly installed on the top of the base.
[0008] Preferably, the motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the motor frame, and the motor frame is fixedly mounted on the top of the base.
[0009] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a drive shaft, which rotates two sets of bearing brackets via bearings. The two sets of bearing brackets are fixedly installed on the top of the base. One end of the drive shaft is fixedly connected to a small gear, which meshes with a large gear. The large gear is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the frustum cylinder. A set of pulleys is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drive shaft and the outer wall of the rotating shaft, respectively. Both sets of pulleys are fitted with belts on their outer sides.
[0010] Preferably, a heating plate is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the straight cylinder.
[0011] Preferably, the intermediate frame is fixedly installed on the top of the base, and a feed plate is fixedly installed on the intermediate frame.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] When this invention is in use, the starting motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft drives the spiral blades to rotate, conveying and cooking the feed in the straight cylinder. At the same time, the rotation of the rotating shaft drives the drive assembly to work, which in turn drives the truncated cone to rotate. The inner wall of the truncated cone has a uniform slope from one end to the other. Under the action of the pinion and gears, the truncated cone rotates at a low speed, lower than the speed of the rotating shaft. The low speed of the truncated cone causes the feed to move slowly down in the truncated cone, preventing blockage. It also causes friction between the feed and the inner wall of the truncated cone, further increasing the temperature of the feed. Attached Figure Description

[0018] 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.
[0019] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 This utility model discloses a feed production maturation device, comprising a straight cylinder 1, a circular plate 2 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the straight cylinder 1, a discharge port 3 on the circular plate 2, a frustum cylinder 5 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the straight cylinder 1 via a sealed bearing, the outer wall of the circular plate 2 slidingly fitting against the inner wall of the frustum cylinder 5, and an intermediate frame 4 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the frustum cylinder 5 via a sealed bearing. The feed in the straight cylinder 1 is conveyed and maturated by a conveying maturation component 6. When the conveying maturation component 6 is working, it drives a drive component 7 to work, and when the drive component 7 is working, it drives the frustum cylinder 5 to rotate, thereby realizing the downward conveying of the feed in the frustum cylinder 5.
[0020] The conveying and cooking assembly 6 includes a rotating shaft 601, which is rotatably connected to a straight cylinder 1 via two sets of sealed bearings. One end of the rotating shaft 601 is fixedly connected to the drive end of a motor 602 via a coupling. The inner wall of the other end of the rotating shaft 601 is rotatably connected to a steam pipe 607 via a sealed bearing. A stabilizing component 603 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the steam pipe 607. The stabilizing component 603 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the straight cylinder 1. A spiral blade 604 and a baffle plate 605 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 601. The outer wall of the baffle plate 605 movably fits against the inner wall of the straight cylinder 1. The inner cavity of the steam pipe 607 communicates with the inner cavity of the rotating shaft 601. The rotating shaft 601 has an opening... Multiple sets of air holes 606 are provided. During use, the steam generated by the steam generator enters the inner cavity of the rotating shaft 601 through the steam pipe 607, and then the steam is discharged from the air holes 606. The air holes 606 are located between the pitches of the spiral blades 603, ensuring that the steam can be smoothly mixed with the feed during the rotation of the spiral blades 603, so as to achieve uniform heating and cooking. Note that a baffle plate 605 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 601. Under the action of the baffle plate 605, the conveyed feed will enter the frustum cylinder 5 through the feed inlet 9. It should be noted that when the motor 602 is used, it needs to be connected to a suitable external power supply with its dedicated controller and its operation is controlled by the controller.
[0021] The top of the straight cylinder 1 is connected to a feeding hopper 8, and the bottom of the straight cylinder 1 is provided with a discharge port 9. In use, feed is added into the straight cylinder 1 through the feeding hopper 8, and the cooked feed conveyed in the straight cylinder 1 will be discharged into the frustum cylinder 5 through the discharge port 9.
[0022] Multiple sets of support members 10 are fixedly installed at both ends of the straight cylinder 1, and the support members 10 are fixedly installed on the top of the base 11; the support members 10 and the base 11 make the installation structure of the straight cylinder 1 stable.
[0023] The motor 602 is fixedly mounted on the top of the motor frame 14, and the motor frame 14 is fixedly mounted on the top of the base 11; the motor frame 14 makes the motor 602 mounting structure stable.
[0024] The drive assembly 7 includes a drive shaft 701. The drive shaft 701 rotates two sets of bearing brackets 702 via bearings. The two sets of bearing brackets 702 are fixedly installed on the top of the base 11. One end of the drive shaft 701 is fixedly connected to a small gear 703. The small gear 703 meshes with a large gear 704. The large gear 704 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the frustum 5. A set of pulleys 705 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drive shaft 701 and the outer wall of the rotating shaft 601, respectively. Both sets of pulleys 705 are fitted with belts 706. In use, the rotating shaft 601 rotates, and under the transmission of the two sets of pulleys 705 and belts 706, it drives the drive shaft 701 to rotate. The rotation of the drive shaft 701 drives the small gear 703 to rotate. The rotation of the small gear 703 drives the large gear 704 to rotate. The rotation of the large gear 704 drives the frustum 5 to rotate.
[0025] A heating plate 12 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the straight cylinder 1. The heating plate 12 can heat the inner cavity of the frustum cylinder 5, thereby heating the feed inside the frustum cylinder 5, ensuring the temperature stability and cooking effect of the feed during the transportation process. When using the heating plate 12, it needs to be connected to a suitable power supply with its dedicated controller and controlled by the controller.
[0026] The intermediate frame 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 11, and the feed plate 13 is fixedly installed on the intermediate frame 4. The feed that gradually moves down inside the truncated cone 5 will be discharged into the feed plate 13 through the discharge port 3. The feed plate 13 has a steep inclination, so that the feed is stably discharged on the feed plate 13.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, feed is added into the straight cylinder 1 through the feeding hopper 8. The motor 602 is started to drive the rotating shaft 601 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 601 drives the spiral blades 604 and the baffle plate 605 to rotate. The spiral blades 604 will transport the feed in the straight cylinder 1. At the same time, the steam generated by the steam generator will enter the inner cavity of the rotating shaft 601 through the steam pipe 607. Then the steam will be discharged from the air hole 606. The air hole 606 is located between the pitches of the spiral blades 603, which ensures that the steam can be smoothly mixed with the feed during the rotation of the spiral blades 603, so as to achieve uniform heating and cooking.
[0028] Under the action of the baffle plate 605, the feed conveyed by the spiral blade 603 enters the frustum cylinder 5 through the feed inlet 9. The heating plate 12 is activated to heat the inner cavity of the frustum cylinder 5, thereby heating the feed in the frustum cylinder 5, ensuring the temperature stability and cooking effect of the feed during the conveying process.
[0029] While the motor 602 drives the rotating shaft 601 to rotate, it also drives the drive assembly 7 to work, which in turn drives the frustum cylinder 5 to rotate. The inner wall of the frustum cylinder 5 has a uniform slope from one end to the other. Under the action of the pinion 703 and the gear 704, the frustum cylinder 5 rotates at a lower speed than the rotating shaft 601. The low-speed rotation of the frustum cylinder 5 causes the feed to slowly move down in the frustum cylinder 5, causing friction between the feed and the inner wall of the frustum cylinder 5, which further increases the temperature of the feed. Finally, the feed that gradually moves down in the frustum cylinder 5 will be discharged into the feed plate 13 through the discharge port 3. The feed plate 13 has a relatively steep inclination, which makes the feed stable when it is discharged on the feed plate 13.
[0030] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
