Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of compaction device technology, and in particular to a compaction device for yak silage. Background Technology

[0002] In the yak farming industry, silage is a high-quality feed source, and its production process is crucial. Among them, the compaction process is a key step affecting the quality of silage. Good compaction can effectively remove air from the silage, reduce oxygen content, and thus create a good anaerobic environment for lactic acid bacteria fermentation, improving the preservation quality and nutritional value of silage. Although there are some silage compaction devices on the market, these devices still have many problems in practical applications and cannot well meet the production needs of yak silage compaction.

[0003] Existing compaction devices have several drawbacks during use. Firstly, most devices can only achieve unidirectional vertical compaction, which can easily lead to gaps on both sides of the feed and uneven compaction density. Secondly, after compaction, it is inconvenient to remove the feed cake, requiring tedious manual handling and cleaning, which not only increases labor intensity but also reduces production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, to address the shortcomings of existing compaction devices during use, a yak silage compaction device can be designed. By setting up a top compaction component and two side compaction components, the silage can be compacted simultaneously from three directions: top, left, and right. A bottom plate pull-out component is also designed. After compaction, the bottom plate pull-out component is controlled to open the conveying port. In conjunction with the conveying mechanism, the compacted silage cake can be conveniently and quickly conveyed out, thus solving the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing compaction devices, which can only achieve unidirectional vertical compaction, resulting in gaps on both sides of the feed, uneven compaction density, and inconvenient removal of the feed cake after compaction, thus reducing production efficiency, this utility model provides a yak silage compaction device.

[0006] The technical solution is as follows: A yak silage compaction device includes a compaction platform, a compaction frame, a conveying mechanism, a bottom plate pull-out assembly, a top compaction assembly, and two side compaction assemblies. The upper end of the compaction platform is provided with a compaction frame for constraining the silage. The compaction frame has a compaction trough inside to accommodate the silage. A conveying port is provided at the bottom of the compaction trough. A conveying cavity communicating with the conveying port is provided at the bottom of the compaction platform. A conveying mechanism for conveying silage cakes is provided inside the conveying cavity. The front and rear side walls of the conveying port are aligned with the front and rear side walls of the compaction trough. Movable plate grooves are provided on the left and right sides of the top of the conveying port. A bottom plate pull-out assembly for controlling the closure of the conveying port is installed between the left and right movable plate grooves. Two side compaction assemblies for compacting the silage from the left and right sides are provided on the left and right sides of the compaction trough. A top compaction assembly for compacting the silage from above is provided above the compaction trough.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom plate pull-out assembly includes a bottom sealing plate, the left and right sides of which extend into the interior of the movable plate groove. Slide grooves are provided on both the left and right sides of the bottom sealing plate, and slide rails corresponding to the slide grooves are provided on the side walls of the movable plate grooves. A pull-out opening communicating with the movable plate groove is provided through the bottom of the front side wall of the compaction groove.

[0008] Furthermore, one end of the bottom sealing plate extends through the pull-out opening to the front of the compaction frame. A synchronous beam is provided at the end of the bottom sealing plate that extends to the outside of the compaction frame. Both ends of the synchronous beam near the compaction frame are provided with first electric push rods. The rear ends of the two sets of first electric push rods extend to the middle of the left and right sides of the compaction table, respectively. A first servo motor is provided at the rear ends of the two sets of first electric push rods.

[0009] Furthermore, the top compaction assembly includes two sets of connecting plates, which are symmetrically arranged along the left and right edges of the compaction table surface. A support frame is installed at the center of the surface of each set of connecting plates, and a truss is erected between the tops of the two sets of support frames. An upper pressure plate is provided below the truss.

[0010] Furthermore, two sets of pneumatic push rods are symmetrically arranged at the upper end of the upper pressure plate, and two sets of cylinders connected to the pneumatic push rods are symmetrically arranged at the upper end of the truss. Multiple sets of reinforcing ribs are provided at the upper end of the upper pressure plate, and the multiple sets of reinforcing ribs are linearly and evenly distributed along the surface of the upper pressure plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the two-sided compaction assembly includes two sets of side push plates, which are attached to the inner walls of the left and right sides of the compaction groove. Two sets of second electric push rods are symmetrically provided on the side of the two sets of side push plates that are far apart from each other. Side push holes for accommodating the second electric push rods are opened on the left and right sides of the compaction groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the ends of the two sets of second electric push rods away from the side push plate extend through the side push holes to the top of both ends of the connecting plate. Both ends of the connecting plate are provided with motor mounts, and the motor mounts are equipped with second servo motors. The second servo motors are connected to the second electric push rods in a transmission manner.

[0013] The beneficial effects are that, compared with the defects of existing compaction devices during use, this application solves the problem of uneven density caused by traditional unidirectional compaction by using a top compaction component in conjunction with two side compaction components. The overall structure of the feed cake is compact, reducing oxygen residue caused by gaps, creating a better anaerobic environment for lactic acid bacteria fermentation, and improving the preservation quality and nutritional value of silage. The bottom plate pull-out component works in conjunction with the conveying mechanism to realize the automated conveying of feed cakes, eliminating manual handling and cleaning steps, significantly shortening the single batch operation time, significantly reducing labor intensity, and making it suitable for the silage processing needs of large-scale yak farming. The sliding groove and sliding rail of the bottom sealing plate work together to ensure the stability of the bottom sealing plate's pull-out and push-out, avoiding possible jamming when the bottom sealing plate is pulled out.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] Example

[0022] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a yak silage compaction device includes a compaction platform 1, a compaction frame 2, a conveying mechanism 3, a bottom plate pull-out assembly 4, a top compaction assembly 5, and two side compaction assemblies 6. The upper end of the compaction platform 1 is provided with a compaction frame 2 for constraining the silage. The compaction frame 2 has a compaction trough 201 inside to accommodate the silage. The bottom of the compaction trough 201 has a conveying port 206. The bottom of the compaction platform 1 has a conveying cavity 101 communicating with the conveying port 206. The conveying cavity 101 has a cavity for conveying silage cakes. The conveying mechanism 3 has front and rear side walls of the conveying port 206 that are at the same horizontal level as the front and rear side walls of the compaction trough 201. Movable plate grooves 204 are provided on the top left and right sides of the conveying port 206. A bottom plate pull-out assembly 4 for controlling the closing of the conveying port 206 is provided between the left and right movable plate grooves 204. Both sides of the compaction trough 201 are provided with side compaction assemblies 6 for compacting silage from the left and right sides. A top compaction assembly 5 for compacting silage from the top is provided above the compaction trough 201.

[0023] The bottom plate pull-out assembly 4 includes a bottom sealing plate 401, with its left and right sides extending into the movable plate groove 204. Each side of the bottom sealing plate 401 has a sliding groove 402. The sidewall of the movable plate groove 204 has a corresponding slide rail 205. The bottom of the front sidewall of the compaction groove 201 has a pull-out opening 203 communicating with the movable plate groove 204. The pull-out opening extends through the left and right sides of the bottom sealing plate 401 into the movable plate groove 204. By cooperating with the slide rail 205 on the side wall of the movable plate groove 204, the bottom sealing plate 401 can slide smoothly in the movable plate groove 204, ensuring the sealing of the conveying port 206 when closed and preventing silage from leaking out from the gaps. The setting of the pull-out port 203 provides a channel for the pull-out of the bottom sealing plate 401, allowing the bottom sealing plate 401 to smoothly enter and exit the compaction frame 2, realizing the opening and closing of the conveying port 206, and creating convenient conditions for the subsequent conveying of feed cakes.

[0024] One end of the bottom sealing plate 401 extends through the pull-out opening 203 to the front of the compaction frame 2. A synchronous beam 403 is provided at the end of the bottom sealing plate 401 extending to the outside of the compaction frame 2. Both ends of the synchronous beam 403 near the compaction frame 2 are provided with first electric push rods 404. The rear ends of the two sets of first electric push rods 404 extend to the middle of the left and right sides of the compaction table 1, respectively. The rear ends of the two sets of first electric push rods 404 are provided with first servo motors 405 (model ASDA-A3). Through the synchronous beam 403 in conjunction with the first electric push rods 404 and the first servo motors 405 at both ends, the automatic pulling of the bottom sealing plate 401 can be realized. The first servo motors 405 provide precise power to the first electric push rods 404. By controlling the extension and retraction of the first electric push rods 404, the synchronous beam 403 and the bottom sealing plate 401 move synchronously. No manual operation is required, reducing labor intensity and improving the efficiency of opening and closing the conveyor 206, thereby improving the overall production efficiency.

[0025] The top compaction assembly 5 includes two sets of connecting plates 501. The two sets of connecting plates 501 are symmetrically arranged along the left and right edges of the surface of the compaction table 1. A support frame 503 is installed at the center of the surface of each set of connecting plates 501. A truss 504 is erected between the tops of the two sets of support frames 503. An upper pressure plate 507 is provided below the truss 504. The truss 504 is supported by the support frame 503, so that the structure above the truss 504 can stably act on the upper pressure plate 507, thus ensuring the overall stability of the top compaction assembly 5.

[0026] Two sets of pneumatic push rods 505 are symmetrically arranged at the upper end of the upper pressure plate 507, and two sets of cylinders 506 connected to the pneumatic push rods 505 are symmetrically arranged at the upper end of the truss 504. Multiple sets of reinforcing ribs 508 are provided at the upper end of the upper pressure plate 507. The multiple sets of reinforcing ribs 508 are linearly and evenly distributed along the surface of the upper pressure plate 507. They are connected to the cylinders 506 on the truss 504 through the pneumatic push rods 505. The cylinders 506 can provide strong and stable power to the pneumatic push rods 505, driving the upper pressure plate 507 to compact the silage vertically downward, ensuring the compaction force at the top. The multiple sets of reinforcing ribs 508 enhance the structural strength of the upper pressure plate 507, prevent the upper pressure plate 507 from deforming under long-term high-pressure operation, and extend the service life of the upper pressure plate 507.

[0027] The two-sided compaction assembly 6 includes two sets of side push plates 601. The two sets of side push plates 601 are attached to the inner walls of the left and right sides of the compaction groove 201. Two sets of second electric push rods 602 are symmetrically provided on the opposite sides of the two sets of side push plates 601. Side push holes 202 for accommodating the second electric push rods 602 are opened on the left and right sides of the compaction groove 201. With the two sets of side push plates 601 attached to the inner walls of the left and right sides of the compaction groove 201, the silage can be compacted from the left and right sides under the push of the second electric push rods 602. In conjunction with the top compaction assembly 5, synchronous compaction in three directions is achieved, which effectively solves the problem of gaps on both sides of the feed and uneven compaction density caused by the unidirectional vertical compaction of the existing device, and improves the compaction quality of silage.

[0028] Two sets of second electric push rods 602 extend from the side push plate 601 through the side push hole 202 to the top of both ends of the connecting plate 501. Both ends of the connecting plate 501 are provided with motor seats 502. The motor seats 502 are equipped with second servo motors 603 (model MR-J4). The second servo motors 603 are connected to the second electric push rods 602. The extension and retraction of the second electric push rods 602 can be precisely controlled by the second servo motors 603, thereby accurately controlling the pushing distance of the side push plate 601, ensuring the accuracy of the compaction force and position on both sides, and further ensuring the uniformity of the compaction density of silage.

[0029] During operation, the silage to be compacted is first poured into the compaction trough 201 inside the compaction frame 2, ensuring that the silage is evenly distributed in the compaction trough 201 to avoid local accumulation that is too high or too low. Then, the top compaction component 5 and the two side compaction components 6 are activated. The cylinder 506 of the top compaction component 5 drives the pneumatic push rod 505, which drives the upper pressure plate 507 to move vertically downward to compact the top of the silage. At the same time, the second servo motor 603 of the two side compaction components 6 drives the second electric push rod 602 to push the side push plate 601 from the left and right sides to the middle to compact the two sides of the silage, achieving synchronous compaction in three directions.

[0030] During the feed cake removal stage, after compaction, the bottom plate pull-out assembly 4 is activated. The first servo motor 405 drives the first electric push rod 404 to retract, and through the synchronous beam 403, the bottom sealing plate 401 slides along the slide rail 205 in the movable plate groove 204 and is pulled out from the pull-out port 203, opening the conveying port 206. At this time, the conveying mechanism 3 is activated, and the compacted silage cake falls from the conveying port 206 onto the conveying mechanism 3 of the conveying chamber 101 and is conveyed out.

[0031] After the feed cake is conveyed, the first servo motor 405 drives the first electric push rod 404 to extend, pushing the synchronous beam 403 and the bottom sealing plate 401 to move in the opposite direction, re-inserting into the movable plate groove 204, and closing the conveying port 206.

[0032] Its working principle is as follows: During the compaction stage, the cylinder 506 of the top compaction component 5 provides power, causing the pneumatic push rod 505 to drive the upper pressure plate 507 to generate vertical downward pressure. The second servo motor 603 of the two side compaction components 6 precisely controls the extension and retraction of the second electric push rod 602, pushing the side push plate 601 to form a horizontal extrusion force. The three forces act on the feed simultaneously, effectively eliminating the gaps on both sides caused by traditional unidirectional compaction and ensuring uniform compaction density.

[0033] The bottom plate pull-out assembly 4 is the core of realizing automated conveying: the bottom sealing plate 401 slides smoothly in the movable plate groove 204 through the cooperation of the slide groove 402 and the slide rail 205. When closed, it tightly covers the conveying port 206 to prevent feed leakage; when opened, it is automatically pulled out by the extension and retraction of the first electric push rod 404 to provide a channel for the feed cake to fall. The conveying mechanism 3 uses the closed space of the conveying chamber 101 to quickly transfer the falling feed cake and reduce the manual intervention.

[0034] Its beneficial effects are significant. This application solves the problem of uneven density caused by traditional unidirectional compaction by using the top compaction component 5 in conjunction with the side compaction components 6. The overall structure of the feed cake is compact, reducing the oxygen residue caused by gaps, creating a better anaerobic environment for lactic acid bacteria fermentation, and improving the preservation quality and nutritional value of silage. The bottom plate pull-out component 4 cooperates with the conveying mechanism 3 to realize the automated conveying of feed cake, eliminating the manual handling and cleaning steps, greatly shortening the single batch operation time, significantly reducing labor intensity, and making it suitable for the silage processing needs of large-scale yak farming. The sliding groove 402 of the bottom sealing plate 401 cooperates with the sliding rail 205 to ensure the stability of the bottom sealing plate 401 when it is pulled out and pushed, and avoids jamming that may be caused when the bottom sealing plate 401 is pulled out.
