[0002] Solid distillers' grains are the residue left after grain brewing. They can be used as animal feed in the livestock industry. Before being made into feed, the distillers' grains need to be processed using a drying and compression machine. However, existing machines make it difficult to turn the grains during the drying process, resulting in uneven heating and poor drying efficiency.
[0003] In the prior art, a Chinese patent document with publication number CN217275323U was proposed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. The technical solution disclosed in the patent document is as follows: A small-scale integrated drying and compression device for preparing distiller's grains feed includes a conveying device, a drying box, a power cord, a drying device, a compression device, a discharge hopper, and a turning device. In this design, a turning device is set inside the drying box. When the motor is turned on, the rotating roller rotates, which drives the turning plate to rotate. When the turning plate rotates, it turns the distiller's grains, thus achieving the turning of the distiller's grains during the drying process.
[0004] However, the above method involves drying during the transportation process, which results in some feeds not drying for a sufficient amount of time. Utility Model Content

[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:
[0030] Example 1
[0031] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a solid-state fermentation feed preparation device based on multi-stage fermentation, including a preparation tank 1. Hot air blowers 101 are fixedly installed on both sides of the preparation tank 1. Two sets of electric actuators 102 are fixedly installed through the bottom right side of the preparation tank 1. A discharge gate 103 is fixedly installed at one end of the output rod of each set of electric actuators 102. The contact surface between the discharge gate 103 and the tank body must have a reliable sealing structure, such as a silicone rubber sealing strip, to ensure no leakage during fermentation and heat preservation. The sealing structure is resistant to high temperatures and aging. A discharge component 2 is provided at the top of the preparation tank 1, including a box unit and a discharge unit; a steam exhaust component 3 is provided at the top of the discharge component 2; and a stirring component 4 is provided in the middle of the preparation tank 1. By setting up the preparation tank 1 for feed drying, drying can be carried out in a relatively enclosed environment, improving drying efficiency while effectively extending the drying time so that the feed can be discharged for further processing after the drying effect is achieved.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] like Figures 1-5 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the box unit includes a feeding box 21, which is fixedly installed on the top surface of the preparation tank 1. A heating plate 22 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the feeding box 21, and a guide plate 23 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the inner cavity of the feeding box 21. Further, the single guide plate can be replaced with a "V-shaped" or "stepped" guide plate assembly. The V-shaped design is more conducive to the material falling towards the center, reducing material hanging on the box wall; the stepped design can slow down the falling speed of the material, and achieve more uniform feeding in conjunction with the feeding unit. The feeding unit includes a limiting plate 24, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the feeding box 21. A U-shaped rod 25 is slidably installed through the limiting plate 24 from bottom to top. A linear bearing or wear-resistant bushing is added to the sliding pair between the U-shaped rod 25 and the limiting plate 24 to reduce friction and wear and ensure smooth movement. Meanwhile, the U-shaped rod uses a reliable linear actuator, such as a small servo electric cylinder or a stepper motor and lead screw combination structure, which facilitates precise control of the opening and automation. A heating plate 26 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the U-shaped rod 25. The side of the heating plate 26 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feeding box 21. By setting two sets of heating plates for material guidance, the feeding speed can be slowed down to improve safety. At the same time, it can preheat the flowing feed and initially evaporate the moisture it contains, preventing excessive moisture from affecting the drying speed of the feed in the tank.
[0034] Example 3
[0035] like Figures 1-5As shown, based on embodiments 1-2, this utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the exhaust component 3 includes a mounting cover 31, which is fixedly installed on the top surface of the feeding box 21. An exhaust fan 32 is fixedly installed inside the mounting cover 31, and an exhaust pipe 33 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the mounting cover 31. One end of the exhaust pipe 33 is connected to a gas recovery device. The stirring component 4 includes a reduction motor 41, which is fixedly installed on the front of the preparation tank 1. A stirring rod 42 is provided through the preparation tank 1, and the stirring rod 42 is connected to the shaft. The mixing rod 42 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the preparation tank 1. A scraper 43 is fixedly installed at the end of the mixing rod 42. The side of the scraper 43 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the preparation tank 1. The ends of the output pipes of the two sets of hot air blowers 101 are sealed and inserted into the surface of the preparation tank 1. A protective net is installed inside the output pipes of the two sets of hot air blowers 101. By setting the exhaust fan 3, the exhaust fan 32 can be started during the drying process to discharge the water vapor generated during drying, preventing it from accumulating in the tank and affecting the drying efficiency. Also, the hot steam is easy to diffuse out during feeding, which may endanger the safety of workers.
[0036] In this embodiment, the part of the scraper 43 that contacts the tank wall is made of a wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and somewhat elastic material, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), or food-grade rubber, to ensure effective scraping of the tank wall and reduce metal-to-metal friction noise and wear. The scraper 43 is designed to be adjustable or spring-preloaded to compensate for manufacturing errors and wear.
[0037] The working principle of solid distillers' grains feed preparation equipment based on multi-stage fermentation will be explained in detail below.
[0038] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this solution uses a PLC as the core control component. The PLC is connected to the hot air blower 101, electric actuator 102, heating plate 1 22, heating plate 26, exhaust fan 32, and geared motor 41. When the preparation equipment is in use, the PLC sends heating commands to the hot air blower 101, heating plate 1 22, and heating plate 26, causing the preparation tank 1 and the feeding box 21 to start preheating. Then, the feed is fed through the feeding box 21. The feed is guided into the preparation tank 1 by the heating plate 1 22, the guide plate 23, and the heating plate 26. During the feeding process, the heating plates can pre-dry the moisture contained in the feed.
[0039] After the feed enters the preparation tank 1, the PLC sends a rotation command to the geared motor 41, so that the stirring rod 42 can stir the feed, and the scraper 43 can scrape the feed out of the inner wall of the tank along with the rotation.
[0040] Furthermore, when the scraper 43 rotates, it will contact the U-shaped rod 25 and push it upward. The upward movement of the U-shaped rod 25 can drive the heating plate 26 to move upward, and then it will start to move downward under its own weight. The repeated up and down movement can effectively promote the feed to slide down.
[0041] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
