Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a horizontal heating fermentation device, belonging to the technical field of fermentation devices. Background Technology
[0002] Fermentation treatment of livestock manure is an effective means to improve the efficiency of manure management and the level of resource utilization. Existing fermentation methods for livestock manure mostly employ composting, which suffers from problems such as large land area requirements, long fermentation times, and serious environmental pollution. Aerobic fermentation of livestock manure requires specific temperature and oxygen conditions. Tank fermentation devices can easily control the fermentation conditions. Currently available vertical or horizontal fermentation devices have complex structures, high operation and maintenance costs, and poor ability to withstand outdoor environments. Furthermore, the large volume of livestock manure to be fermented necessitates vertical fermentation devices, which are typically quite tall, making feeding difficult. During operation, the contact area between the material and oxygen is limited, sometimes requiring an oxygen introduction structure, and equipping them with heating devices is also challenging.

[0007] The feeding baffle and the discharging baffle are respectively connected to the piston rods of the feeding cylinder and the discharging cylinder. Both the feeding cylinder and the discharging cylinder are double-acting cylinders. The feeding cylinder and the discharging cylinder are respectively connected to the air compressor through a two-position five-way valve.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model include, but are not limited to:
[0015] This utility model provides a horizontal heating fermentation device with a compact structure. It heats the tank using heat-conducting oil in a heating oil tank to maintain the temperature required for material fermentation. A negative pressure generated by an exhaust fan draws external air into the tank through the feed inlet for aerobic fermentation, while simultaneously expelling the gases produced during fermentation. This completes the heated aerobic fermentation process, improving fermentation efficiency. The horizontal tank structure provides a larger surface area for the material, increasing the contact area with air at the top of the tank. This allows more oxygen to be incorporated into the material and mixed with the microbial agents, while also ensuring that gases produced during fermentation are promptly released from the material and expelled from the tank. The horizontal tank structure also allows for the installation of pull-out feed and discharge baffles at the feed and discharge inlets, which are flexibly controlled by cylinders. A first and second casing protects key components of the device, enabling stable operation in outdoor environments. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0024] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0025] It should be noted that many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0026] like Figures 1-6As shown, the horizontal heating fermentation device provided by this utility model includes a tank 100, and a stirrer 200 is installed inside the tank 100. The stirrer 200 is used to stir the materials added to the tank 100. The tank 100 has a horizontal structure, that is, the length direction of the tank 100 and the axial direction of the stirrer 200 extend in the same horizontal direction. The top and bottom of the tank 100 are respectively provided with a feed port 110 and a discharge port 120. Poultry and livestock manure materials are added to the tank 100 through the feed port 110 for fermentation. After fermentation, the manure is discharged from the discharge port 120 and sent to the next organic fertilizer processing area. The top of the tank 100 is connected to an exhaust fan 300, which is used to draw out the gas generated by the fermentation of the materials through negative pressure and to promote the entry of external air into the tank 100 through the unclosed gap of the feed port 110 to supplement the oxygen required for the fermentation of the materials. A heating oil chamber 400 is installed on the lower part of the outer wall of the tank 100. Heat transfer oil at a certain temperature is introduced into the heating oil chamber 400 to heat the material inside the tank 100 and maintain the temperature required for fermentation. The lower part of the tank is covered with insulation material to reduce heat loss from the heating oil chamber.
[0027] A feeding baffle 111 is slidably mounted horizontally on the top of the feeding port 110, and is used to open and close the feeding port 110. A discharging baffle 121 is slidably mounted horizontally on the bottom of the discharging port 120, and is used to open and close the discharging port 120. The feeding baffle 111 and the discharging baffle 121 are respectively connected to the piston rods of the feeding cylinder 112 and the discharging cylinder 122. Both the feeding cylinder 112 and the discharging cylinder 122 are double-acting cylinders, and are connected to the air compressor 140 through a two-position five-way valve 130. Thus, during feeding, the feeding baffle 111 is controlled by the cylinder to open the feeding port 110, and the feeding port 110 is closed after feeding is completed. After fermentation is completed, the discharging baffle 121 is controlled by the cylinder to open the discharging port 120, and the discharging port 120 is closed after discharging is completed.
[0028] The horizontal heating fermentation device provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with existing fermentation devices: The tank has a horizontal structure, resulting in a larger surface area for the material when placed in the tank. This allows for greater contact between the material and the air inside the tank, enabling more oxygen to be incorporated into the material and mixed with the microbial agents. It also allows the gases produced during fermentation to dissipate from the material and exit the tank in a timely manner. The tank has a bottom-rounded, top-top structure, with the heating oil chamber installed on the lower part of the outer wall of the tank, providing a large heating area to supply the necessary temperature for fermentation, improving fermentation efficiency, and ensuring that the material inside the tank ferments fully under the required temperature and oxygen supply. The horizontal structure allows for a longer feeding port at the top, facilitating the rapid introduction of material into the tank. The horizontal structure also allows for the installation of pull-out feeding and discharging baffles at the feeding and discharging ports, which can be flexibly controlled by cylinders. The low height of the horizontal tank facilitates material feeding.
[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the two-position five-way valve 130 has an air supply port P, a working air port A, a working air port B, a return air port T1, and a return air port T2. The air supply ports P of both two two-position five-way valves are connected to the air compressor 140, and the working air ports A and B are connected to the rod chamber and rodless chamber of the cylinder, respectively.
[0030] When the loading baffle 111 or unloading baffle 121 needs to be opened, the gas flow direction is: air compressor → air supply port P → working air port A → rod chamber, rodless chamber → working air port B → return air port T1.
[0031] When the loading baffle 111 or unloading baffle 121 needs to be closed, the gas flow direction is: air compressor → air supply port P → working air port B → rodless chamber, rod chamber → working air port A → return air port T2.
[0032] The length direction of the feed port 110 extends in the same direction as the length direction of the tank body 100. The feed port 110 is close to one of the long side edges of the tank body 100, and the exhaust fan 300 is close to the other long side edge of the tank body 100, so that the air intake and exhaust positions are as far apart as possible.
[0033] The top of the feeding port 110 is connected to the feeding hopper 113, and the lower part of the side wall of the feeding hopper 113 is provided with a pull-out opening, through which the feeding baffle 111 slides.
[0034] Guide rails 150 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the loading baffle 111 and the unloading baffle 121 in the sliding direction. The left and right sides of the loading baffle 111 and the unloading baffle 121 are slidably connected to their respective guide rails 150. Rollers are usually installed on the left and right sides of the baffles and slidably mounted on the guide rails.
[0035] One end of the agitator 200 extends out of the tank 100 and is connected in sequence to the coupling 210, the reducer 220, and the drive motor 230. The drive motor 230 rotates, driving the reducer 220 to rotate, and reduces the output speed to a reasonable stirring speed according to the reduction ratio of the reducer 220. The reducer 220 is connected to the agitator 200 through the coupling 210, enabling it to output high torque to the agitator 200. The drive motor 230 is preferably a variable frequency motor.
[0036] The horizontal heating fermentation device provided by this utility model also includes a first cover 510 for shielding the tank 100, and a second cover 520 for shielding the reducer 220 and the drive motor 230. The first cover 510 and the second cover 520 are supported on the foundation surface by a support frame 530. The second cover 520 also houses an electrical control system for controlling the operating parameters of the drive motor 230, air compressor 140, exhaust fan 300, etc. This utility model protects the key parts of the device through the first and second covers, enabling the device to operate stably in outdoor environments.
[0037] Understandably, after the two ends of the agitator 200 protrude from the tank 100, they are usually first supported on the tank 100 or the cover by bearing seats.
[0038] The horizontal heating fermentation device provided by this utility model also includes a protective fence 610 surrounding the top edge of the first cover 510, and a ladder 620 connecting the base surface and the top of the first cover 510. Workers can use the ladder 620 to reach the top of the first cover 510 to check the working status of the tank 100.
