Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sugarcane bagasse silage treatment, and in particular to a moisture control device for a sugarcane bagasse silage briquetting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Sugarcane, an important economic crop in southern my country, produces a large amount of bagasse byproducts after sugar extraction each year. Bagasse is rich in cellulose and hemicellulose, making it a potentially high-quality silage feed ingredient. However, bagasse is characterized by coarse fibers and fluctuating moisture content. Direct use in silage briquetting can easily lead to loose briquettes and fermentation failure. Excessive moisture content can cause the growth of spoilage bacteria, while insufficient moisture prevents the formation of compact briquettes, increasing the risk of mold growth later.
[0003] In existing technologies, sugarcane bagasse is often fed directly, resulting in coarse and hard fibers that are severely clumped together. This makes it difficult to achieve uniform penetration during subsequent moisture adjustment, and the bagasse is prone to localized loosening or mold growth after compaction. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present invention aims to provide a moisture control device for a sugarcane bagasse silage briquetting machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A moisture control device for a sugarcane bagasse silage briquetting machine includes a housing, a support leg connected to the housing, a feed hopper connected to the housing, a top cover threaded onto the feed hopper, a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft rotatably connected to the housing, a motor connected to the housing, the first rotating shaft connected to the motor output end, a first gear and a second gear respectively connected to the first and second rotating shafts, a driven gear rotatably connected to the housing, the driven gear and the second gear meshing with each other, cutting blades connected to both the first and second rotating shafts, a partition connected to the housing, a discharge port on the partition, a valve connected to the side wall of the discharge port, a discharge outlet on the housing, a transmission pipe connected to the housing, a nozzle connected to the transmission pipe, a connecting pipe connected to the transmission pipe, a water pump connected to the housing, a water pipe connected to the water pump, and a moisture sensor connected to the housing.
[0007] Preferably, the housing is connected to a heating wire.
[0008] Preferably, the housing is rotatably connected to a spiral shaft, the spiral shaft is connected to spiral blades, the second rotating shaft is connected to a first pulley, the spiral shaft is connected to a second pulley, and the first pulley and the second pulley are jointly connected to a transmission belt.
[0009] Preferably, the support leg is connected to a shock-absorbing pad.
[0010] Preferably, the longitudinal section of the partition is funnel-shaped.
[0011] Preferably, the housing is connected to a controller, and the motor, water pump, moisture sensor, valve and heating wire are all electrically connected to the controller.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this technical solution compared to existing technologies are as follows:
[0013] (1) This solution solves the problem of insufficient chopping of sugarcane bagasse in traditional equipment by setting up a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft in conjunction with cutting blades. The motor drives the first rotating shaft to rotate, and through the meshing of the first gear and the driven gear and the meshing of the driven gear and the second gear, the second rotating shaft is driven to rotate in the opposite direction. The cutting blades on the two shafts cut in an alternating manner, breaking the coarse and hard sugarcane bagasse into uniform fragments, increasing the contact area between the material and water, avoiding uneven moisture regulation caused by material agglomeration, and preventing local loosening or mold after briquetting. By setting up moisture sensors, water pumps, transmission pipes and nozzles, the moisture sensors detect the moisture content of the material in the box in real time. After the data is fed back to the controller, the start and stop of the water pump and the amount of water sprayed by the nozzles can be automatically adjusted to achieve dynamic and precise moisture regulation, avoiding the problem of excessive moisture or excessive dryness caused by manual watering, and ensuring that the moisture content is stable within the appropriate range for silage.
[0014] (2) By setting up a heating wire and coordinating it with a moisture sensor, the problem of rapid dehumidification of high-moisture sugarcane bagasse is solved. When the moisture sensor detects that the material moisture is too high, the controller starts the heating wire to heat the material at a low temperature, accelerating the evaporation of moisture. Combined with the turning during the screw conveyor process, efficient dehumidification is achieved, making up for the limitations of simple drainage regulation.
[0015] (3) By setting up a conveying structure with a spiral shaft and spiral blades, and cooperating with belt pulley transmission, the problems of low material conveying efficiency and easy material jamming in traditional equipment are solved. The second rotating shaft drives the spiral shaft to rotate through the first belt pulley and the transmission belt. The spiral blades push the material to move towards the discharge port, realizing continuous and stable material conveying. At the same time, the material is further stirred during the conveying process, so that the moisture distribution is more uniform and the homogeneity of the material before briquetting is improved.
[0016] (4) By setting up shock-absorbing pads, the problem of excessive vibration during equipment operation was solved. The shock-absorbing pads are made of elastic rubber, which can absorb the vibration generated by the rotation of the motor and shaft, reduce the resonance noise between the equipment and the ground, and at the same time reduce the damage of vibration to internal components such as sensors and pipelines, extend the service life of the equipment, and improve operational stability.
[0017] (5) By setting up a funnel-shaped baffle and a discharge valve, the problem of flow control failure during material conveying is solved. The funnel-shaped baffle guides the crushed material to gather at the discharge port. The valve can be adjusted by the controller or manually to precisely control the falling speed of the material, so that the material is evenly distributed in the lower part of the box, which facilitates moisture adjustment and subsequent transmission, and avoids insufficient local processing caused by material accumulation.

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0022] like Figure 1-2The moisture control device of a sugarcane bagasse silage briquetting machine shown includes a housing 1. Support legs 10 are symmetrically connected around the bottom of the housing 1. A feed hopper 23 is connected to the center of the top of the housing 1. A top cover 24 is threadedly connected to the top of the feed hopper 23. Rotating the top cover 24 can close or open the feed hopper 23, which can prevent sugarcane bagasse from splashing during the cutting process and prevent external impurities from falling in, keeping the raw materials clean. A first rotating shaft 3 and two second rotating shafts 17 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. A motor 2 is connected to the outer wall of the housing 1. The first rotating shaft 3 is connected to the output end of the motor 2. The first rotating shaft 3 and the two second rotating shafts 17 are respectively connected to a first gear 18 and a second gear 16. A driven gear is rotatably connected to the housing 1. The driven gear and the second gear 16 mesh with each other. When the motor 2 drives the first rotating shaft 3 to rotate, the meshing of the first gear 18 and the driven gear causes the driven gear to drive the second gear 16 to rotate. Subsequently, under the action of the meshing of the two second gears 16, the two second rotating shafts 17 rotate synchronously in opposite directions. The first rotating shaft 3 and the two second rotating shafts 17 are each arrayed with several cutting blades 4. The blades are staggered. When the shafts rotate, the blades cut and crush the sugarcane bagasse entering the box 1 at high speed, breaking the coarse and hard sugarcane bagasse into a suitable particle size, which facilitates subsequent moisture adjustment and mixing. The inner wall of the box 1 is connected to a partition 26, which divides the box 1 into two parts. The upper part is used for stirring and cutting the sugarcane bagasse, and the lower part is used for conveying. The partition 26 has a discharge port 7 on one side, and a valve 8 is connected to the side wall of the discharge port 7. The opening and closing angle of the valve 8 can be adjusted by the controller 27 to control the speed at which the crushed sugarcane bagasse enters the lower part. A discharge port 14 is provided on one side of the bottom of the container 1. A transmission pipe 22 is connected to the top of the container 1, and several nozzles 25 are connected to the transmission pipe 22. A connecting pipe 21 is connected to the top of the transmission pipe 22, and a water pump 20 is connected to the top of the container 1. The connecting pipe 21 is connected to the output end of the water pump 20, and a water pipe 19 is connected to the input end of the water pump 20. The water pipe 19 is used to connect to an external water source. When water needs to be added, the water pump 20 delivers water to the transmission pipe 22, which is then atomized by the nozzles 25 and sprayed evenly on the surface of the sugarcane bagasse in the upper part of the container. This, combined with the stirring of the cutting blade 4, achieves preliminary mixing. A moisture sensor 15 is connected to the inner wall of the container 1, which can detect the moisture content of the material in real time and transmit the data to the controller 27 outside the container 1.
[0023] like Figure 1As shown, several heating wires are connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. When the material moisture content is too high, the controller 27 activates the heating wires to generate heat, which, in conjunction with the tumbling action of the spiral blades 13, evaporates the excess moisture. A spiral shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the housing 1. Spiral blades 13 are connected to the outer wall of the spiral shaft 12. A second rotating shaft 17 is connected to a first pulley 5, and the spiral shaft 12 is connected to a second pulley 9. The first pulley 5 and the second pulley 9 are connected together to a drive belt 6. The two pulleys are linked by the drive belt 6. When the second rotating shaft 17 rotates, it drives the spiral shaft 12 to rotate through the belt drive. The spiral blades 13 convey the material in the lower half of the area axially towards the discharge port 14, and finally push it to the feed end of the briquetting machine. Each support leg 10 is connected to a rubber shock-absorbing pad 11 at its bottom, which can reduce vibration noise during equipment operation and enhance placement stability to prevent equipment displacement. The partition 26 has a funnel-shaped longitudinal section.
[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the housing 1 is connected to a controller 27. The motor 2, water pump 20, moisture sensor 15, valve 8, and heating wire are all electrically connected to the controller 27. The operation of each component is automatically adjusted through a preset program: when the moisture content is lower than the set value, the water pump 20 is turned on to replenish water; when it is higher than the set value, the heating wire is started to dry the material. At the same time, the feed rate is adjusted through valve 8, and the conveying speed is controlled by the screw shaft 12 to ensure that the moisture content of the material is stable within the range required for silage briquettes.
[0025] The specific implementation process is as follows:
[0026] The operator opens the top cover 24 and feeds the bagasse to be processed into the housing 1 through the feed hopper 23, then closes the top cover 24. The controller 27 presets the target moisture content required for the silage briquettes, and the equipment is started. The motor 2 begins to run, and its output drives the first shaft 3 to rotate. The first gear 18 on the first shaft 3 meshes with the driven gear, causing the driven gear to rotate. The driven gear then meshes with either of the second gears 16 on the two second shafts 17. Under the action of gear transmission, the two second shafts 17 rotate synchronously in opposite directions. At this time, the staggered cutting blades 4 on the first shaft 3 and the two second shafts 17 rotate at high speed, shearing and crushing the fed bagasse, cutting the coarse bagasse into suitable particle size. During the cutting process, the continuous turning of the blades ensures thorough mixing of the bagasse.
[0027] Subsequently, the moisture sensor 15 detects the moisture content of the material in real time and transmits the data to the controller 27. If the detected moisture content is lower than the target value, the water pump 20 is started. The water pump 20 draws water from an external water source through the water pipe 19, and after passing through the transmission pipe 22, the water is evenly sprayed onto the surface of the material through the atomizing nozzle 25. The tumbling action of the cutting blade 4 causes the water to initially mix with the material. If the detected moisture content is higher than the target value, the controller 27 activates the heating wire on the inner wall of the housing 1. The heat generated by the heating wire, combined with the tumbling action of the spiral blade 13, evaporates excess moisture in the material, reducing the moisture content.
[0028] When the moisture content reaches the target value, the controller 27 opens the valve 8, and the material slides into the lower half of the box 1 along the funnel-shaped baffle 26. Simultaneously, the first pulley 5 at its end drives the second pulley 9 on the spiral shaft 12 to rotate via the transmission belt 6, causing the spiral shaft 12 and the spiral blades 13 on the outer wall to rotate synchronously. The moisture-adjusted material moves along the bottom of the box 1 towards the discharge port 14 under the push of the spiral blades 13. During the conveying process, the spiral blades 13 continuously agitate the material to ensure uniform moisture distribution. Finally, the bagasse that meets the moisture requirements is discharged through the discharge port 14 and directly conveyed to the feed end of the silage briquetting machine, completing the entire moisture control process.
