Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of feed production, and in particular to a buffer silo cooling device for a feed production line. Background Technology
[0002] Feed is a general term for the food of all domesticated animals. In a narrower sense, feed mainly refers to the food of animals raised in agriculture or animal husbandry. Feed includes more than ten kinds of feed ingredients such as soybeans, soybean meal, corn, fish meal, amino acids, miscellaneous meals, whey powder, oils, meat and bone meal, grains, and feed additives. In feed production, buffer silos are needed to store feed for further processing or packaging.
[0003] The utility model patent with announcement number CN213949423U proposes a buffer bin for feed production, including: a storage box, a feed pipe, a feed inlet, a conical distribution plate, a fixing rod, a limiting plate, a spring, a connecting plate, and a U-shaped baffle plate; the feed pipe is located at the top of the storage box, the feed inlet is located on the feed pipe, the conical distribution plate is vertically located in the middle of the feed pipe, and a fixing cavity is formed in the middle of the conical distribution plate.
[0004] One of the aforementioned feed production buffer bins effectively diverts the input material by setting a conical distribution plate in the middle of the feed pipe. The material then enters a U-shaped baffle plate for buffering, and the bottom of the U-shaped baffle plate extends horizontally to form a buffer zone, reducing the speed of the input material. After secondary buffering by the buffer plate, the material enters the bottom of the storage bin, reducing the collision force between the feed and the bottom of the storage bin. However, the feed is at a high temperature after processing, and after entering the storage bin, it piles up, making it difficult to dissipate heat and reducing the heat dissipation effect. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a buffer silo cooling device for a feed production line.
[0006] The buffer silo cooling device for a feed production line provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A buffer bin cooling device for a feed production line includes a buffer bin body, on which a cooling component for cooling the feed is provided. The cooling component includes a pusher plate slidably disposed inside the buffer bin body. A cooling bin is fitted onto the buffer bin body, with a gap between the cooling bin and the buffer bin body. Multiple connecting blocks are fixedly connected between the cooling bin and the buffer bin body. A spiral first cooling pipe is installed inside the side wall of the cooling bin, with both ends of the first cooling pipe penetrating the cooling bin. A spiral second cooling pipe is installed inside the side wall of the buffer bin body, with both ends of the second cooling pipe penetrating the buffer bin body and connected to the first cooling pipe. A lifting component is provided on the cooling bin for moving the pusher plate.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, the first cooling pipe is first connected to the external water supply component, and cooling water is added to the first and second cooling pipes. Then, the feed is added to the buffer chamber body. The feed entering the buffer chamber body is initially cooled through the second cooling pipe. Then, the lifting component drives the pusher plate to rise, causing the pusher plate to carry the feed up in the buffer chamber body, so that the feed slowly overflows and is evenly sprinkled into the cooling chamber from all sides. The feed entering the cooling chamber is evenly cooled through the first cooling pipe, which avoids the problem of the feed being too hot after processing and piling up after entering the storage box, making it difficult to dissipate heat and reducing the heat dissipation effect.
[0009] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a U-shaped frame fixedly connected to the top of the cooling chamber, a motor fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped frame, a threaded rod fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and the end of the threaded rod away from the motor passing through the U-shaped frame and the pusher plate and rotatably connected to the bottom of the buffer chamber body.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, by starting the motor, the motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, which in turn drives the pusher plate to move up and down within the buffer chamber, causing the feed located inside the buffer chamber to overflow from the top of the buffer chamber and be sent into the cooling chamber.
[0011] Preferably, a guide rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the buffer chamber body on one side of the threaded rod, and the top end of the guide rod passes through the pusher plate.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide rod prevents the pusher plate from rotating along with the threaded rod when it rotates, thus preventing the pusher plate from moving up and down within the buffer chamber.
[0013] Preferably, a fixed tube is sleeved on the threaded rod, the top end of the fixed tube is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame, a movable tube is slidably disposed inside the fixed tube, and the bottom end of the movable tube extends out of the fixed tube and is fixedly connected to the pusher plate.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded rod can be protected by a fixed tube and a movable tube, preventing feed from directly contacting the threaded rod and causing wear on the threads.
[0015] Preferably, a rubber sealing ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the end of the fixed tube away from the U-shaped frame, and the rubber sealing ring is in contact with the moving tube.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the gap between the fixed tube and the moving tube can be sealed by the rubber sealing ring, preventing feed from getting stuck in the gap between the fixed tube and the moving tube.
[0017] Preferably, a hopper is provided above the buffer chamber body, and two fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the top of the side wall of the hopper. Slide grooves are provided on both sides of the inner side wall of the U-shaped frame. The two fixing blocks are slidably disposed in the slide grooves. A cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped frame on one side of the motor. The output end of the cylinder passes through the U-shaped frame and is fixedly connected to one of the fixing blocks.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, feed can be conveniently added to the buffer chamber body through the hopper. When adding feed, the hopper is lowered by the cylinder, and the bottom of the hopper is moved into the interior of the buffer chamber body, which can prevent the feed from being directly spilled into the cooling chamber. At the same time, when pushing the feed out of the buffer chamber body, the hopper is raised by the cylinder, which can prevent the hopper from contacting the push plate.
[0019] Preferably, a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cooling chamber, and an auger is provided inside the discharge pipe, with the top of the auger fixedly connected to the threaded rod.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the threaded rod rotates and drives the pusher plate to push the feed into the cooling chamber, the threaded rod simultaneously drives the auger to rotate, which can prevent the feed in the cooling chamber from getting blocked in the discharge pipe when it is discharged through the discharge pipe.
[0021] Preferably, a conical plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pusher plate to prevent material from remaining on the pusher plate.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the feed on the push plate can be guided by the conical plate to prevent feed residue.
[0023] Preferably, each of the sliding grooves is fixedly connected to a limiting rod, and the fixing block is respectively sleeved on the limiting rod.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solutions, the stability of the fixed block sliding in the chute can be improved by using the limiting rod, thus preventing the hopper from shaking.
[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0026] 1. This application utilizes the coordinated arrangement of structures such as a pusher plate, a cooling chamber, and a first cooling pipe. In use, the first cooling pipe is first connected to an external water supply component, and cooling water is added to both the first and second cooling pipes. Then, feed is added to the buffer chamber. The second cooling pipe provides initial cooling to the feed entering the buffer chamber. The lifting component then raises the pusher plate, causing it to lift the feed within the buffer chamber and slowly overflow, spreading it evenly into the cooling chamber from all sides. The first cooling pipe provides uniform cooling to the feed entering the cooling chamber, minimizing the problem of high-temperature feed piling up after processing and hindering heat dissipation in the storage bin, thus reducing the cooling effect.
[0027] 2. When the threaded rod rotates and drives the pusher plate to push the feed into the cooling chamber, the threaded rod also drives the auger to rotate, which can prevent the feed in the cooling chamber from getting blocked in the discharge pipe when it is discharged through the discharge pipe.

[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0034] This application discloses a buffer silo cooling device for a feed production line.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A buffer bin cooling device for a feed production line includes a buffer bin body 1. The buffer bin body 1 is provided with a cooling component for cooling the feed. The cooling component includes a pusher plate 2, a cooling bin 3, a connecting block 4, a first cooling pipe 5, and a second cooling pipe 6.
[0036] The pusher plate 2 is slidably disposed inside the buffer chamber body 1. The cooling chamber 3 is sleeved on the buffer chamber body 1. There is a gap between the cooling chamber 3 and the buffer chamber body 1. Multiple connecting blocks 4 are disposed, all located between the cooling chamber 3 and the buffer chamber body 1. The two ends of the connecting blocks 4 are fixedly connected to the cooling chamber 3 and the buffer chamber body 1, respectively. The first cooling pipe 5 is installed inside the side wall of the cooling chamber 3 and forms a spiral shape. Both ends of the first cooling pipe 5 penetrate the cooling chamber 3. The second cooling pipe 6 is installed inside the side wall of the buffer chamber body 1 and forms a spiral shape. Both ends of the second cooling pipe 6 penetrate the buffer chamber body 1 and the connecting blocks 4 and are connected to the first cooling pipe 5. The cooling chamber 3 is provided with a lifting assembly for driving the pusher plate 2 to move.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lifting assembly includes a U-shaped frame 7 fixedly connected to the top of the cooling chamber 3. A motor 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped frame 7. A threaded rod 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 8. The end of the threaded rod 9 away from the motor 8 passes through the U-shaped frame 7 and the pusher plate 2 and is rotatably connected to the bottom of the buffer chamber body 1. By starting the motor 8, the motor 8 drives the threaded rod 9 to rotate, which can drive the pusher plate 2 to move up and down inside the buffer chamber body 1, causing the feed located in the buffer chamber body 1 to overflow from the top of the buffer chamber body 1 and send the feed into the cooling chamber 3.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 Inside the buffer chamber body 1, at the bottom end, a guide rod 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the threaded rod 9. The top of the guide rod 10 passes through the pusher plate 2. The guide rod 10 prevents the pusher plate 2 from rotating together when the threaded rod 9 rotates, thus preventing the pusher plate 2 from moving up and down inside the buffer chamber body 1.
[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3A fixed tube 11 is fitted on the threaded rod 9. The top end of the fixed tube 11 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame 7. A movable tube 12 is slidably arranged inside the fixed tube 11. The bottom end of the movable tube 12 extends out of the fixed tube 11 and is fixedly connected to the pusher plate 2. The fixed tube 11 and the movable tube 12 can protect the threaded rod 9 and prevent the feed from directly contacting the threaded rod 9, which would cause wear on the threads of the threaded rod 9.
[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A rubber sealing ring 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the end of the fixed tube 11 away from the U-shaped frame 7. The rubber sealing ring 13 fits into the moving tube 12. The rubber sealing ring 13 can seal the gap between the fixed tube 11 and the moving tube 12 to prevent feed from getting stuck in the gap between the fixed tube 11 and the moving tube 12.
[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 A hopper 14 is provided above the buffer chamber body 1. Two fixing blocks 15 are fixedly connected to the top of the side wall of the hopper 14. Slide grooves 19 are provided on both sides of the U-shaped frame 7. The two fixing blocks 15 are slidably set in the slide grooves 19. A cylinder 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped frame 7 on one side of the motor 8. The output end of the cylinder 20 passes through the U-shaped frame 7 and is fixedly connected to one of the fixing blocks 15. Feed can be easily added to the buffer chamber body 1 through the hopper 14. When adding feed, the cylinder 20 lowers the hopper 14 and moves the bottom of the hopper 14 into the interior of the buffer chamber body 1, which can prevent the feed from being directly spilled into the cooling chamber 3. At the same time, when pushing the feed out of the buffer chamber body 1, the cylinder 20 raises the hopper 14, which can prevent the hopper 14 from contacting the push plate 2.
[0042] Reference Figure 2 The bottom of the cooling chamber 3 is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe 16, and an auger 17 is installed inside the discharge pipe 16. The top of the auger 17 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 9. When the threaded rod 9 rotates and drives the pusher plate 2 to push the feed into the cooling chamber 3, the threaded rod 9 simultaneously drives the auger 17 to rotate, so that when the feed in the cooling chamber 3 is discharged through the discharge pipe 16, it can avoid being blocked in the discharge pipe 16.
[0043] Reference Figure 2 A conical plate 18 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pusher plate 2 to prevent material from remaining on the pusher plate 2. The conical plate 18 can guide the feed on the pusher plate 2 to prevent feed residue.
[0044] Reference Figure 4 Limiting rods 21 are fixedly connected inside the chute 19, and fixing blocks 15 are respectively sleeved on the limiting rods 21. The limiting rods 21 can improve the stability of the fixing blocks 15 sliding in the chute 19 and prevent the hopper 14 from shaking.
[0045] The implementation principle of the buffer bin cooling device for a feed production line according to this application embodiment is as follows: In use, firstly, the first cooling pipe 5 is connected to the external water supply assembly, and cooling water is added to the first cooling pipe 5 and the second cooling pipe 6. Then, feed is added to the buffer bin body 1. While adding feed to the buffer bin body 1, the pusher plate 2 is moved to the inner top of the buffer bin body 1. Then, the feed is added to the buffer bin body 1 through the hopper 14. During the feed addition process, the motor 8 drives the threaded rod 9 to rotate, causing the pusher plate 2 to descend according to the speed of feed addition, reducing the friction between the feed and the buffer bin body. The impact force of the pusher plate 2 is used to initially cool the feed entering the buffer chamber 1 through the second cooling pipe 6. When feeding, the pusher plate 2 is driven to rise in the buffer chamber 1 by the threaded rod 9, so that the pusher plate 2 carries the feed to rise in the buffer chamber 1, and the feed slowly overflows and is evenly sprinkled into the cooling chamber 3 from all sides. The feed entering the cooling chamber 3 is evenly cooled through the first cooling pipe 5, which avoids the problem that the feed is too hot after processing and will pile up after entering the storage box, making it difficult to dissipate heat and reducing the heat dissipation effect.
[0046] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
