Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed fermentation technology, and in particular to a sugarcane tail fermentation device. Background Technology

[0002] Sugarcane is a temperate and tropical crop, a tall, solid perennial herb with a robust rhizome. Sugarcane tops can be used as feed for livestock such as cattle and sheep, offering advantages such as good palatability and rich nutrition. Sugarcane top silage is a rational utilization of resources. Because sugarcane tops contain some sugar, they are a better source of carbohydrates than ordinary forage. This method reduces livestock consumption of grain and forage, regulates the surplus and shortage of green fodder, and addresses the seasonal shortage of forage for cattle and sheep, which is of great significance for developing cattle and sheep farming and increasing farmers' income.

[0003] After sugarcane tops are mixed with microbial culture and fermented for several days, they become fermented material with high moisture content and high viscosity. Due to its stickiness, the fermented material easily adheres to and accumulates on the side walls of the fermentation tank and the stirring device, and the remaining fermented material may contaminate the next batch of sugarcane tops to be fermented. In addition, the fermented material is prone to clumping during the process of transporting it out of the fermentation tank, and may even block the discharge port of the fermentation tank, thus affecting the efficiency of the fermentation process.

[0034] The controller is connected to a power source and is electrically connected to the first drive unit 401, the water pump 502, the solenoid valve 503, and the second drive unit 302 respectively. The first drive unit 401 and the second drive unit 302 are motors with rotatable output shafts, such as motors, but not limited to them.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the infusion mechanism 5 includes three storage tanks 501 and three-way pipes 505. One storage tank 501 is used to store cleaning liquid, one storage tank 501 is used to store a first additive liquid, and one storage tank 501 is used to store a second additive liquid. The first and second additive liquids are added to the fermentation chamber 201 when the material is fermenting in the fermentation chamber 201. The cleaning liquid is used to clean the fermentation tank 2, the wiping ring 404, and the propeller 403 after the material fermentation is completed and it is transported outside the fermentation chamber 201.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the moving mechanism 3 further includes a support plate 306 and a bearing 307. The support plate 306 is mounted on the mounting bracket 301, and the bearing 307 is mounted on the support plate 306.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the infusion mechanism 5 further includes a nozzle 506, which is installed on the water channel 205 and is positioned opposite to the fermentation chamber 201. The nozzle 506 enhances the spraying effect of the cleaning solution, the first additive solution, and the second additive solution. It is understood that multiple nozzles 506 can be provided to further improve the spraying effect; the number of nozzles depends on the size of the upper cover 202.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In one embodiment of this utility model, a sealing ring 209 is provided in the through hole 206, the sealing ring 209 abuts against the through hole 206, and the rotating shaft 402 is sleeved inside the sealing ring 209 and abuts against the sealing ring 209. The sealing ring 209 can improve the sealing performance of the fermenter 2 during the movement of the rotating shaft 402.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the rotating mechanism 4 further includes a first coupling 405, and the moving mechanism 3 further includes a second coupling 308. The two ends of the first coupling 405 are respectively connected to the output shaft of the first driving member 401 and the rotating shaft 402, and the two ends of the second coupling 308 are respectively connected to the output shaft of the second driving member 302 and the screw 303. The couplings facilitate the installation and removal of the screw 303 and the rotating shaft 402.

[0040] In a specific application of this application, the controller sends a control signal to the second drive member 302 to control the output shaft of the second drive member 302 to rotate, thereby driving the screw 303 to rotate. The screw 303 drives the moving plate 304 to move, thereby driving the rotating mechanism 4 to move along the axis of the fermenter 2. The controller sends a control signal to the first drive member 401 to control the output shaft of the first drive member 401 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 402 to rotate. The rotating shaft 402 drives the propeller 403 and the wiping ring 404 to rotate.

[0041] During material fermentation, the controller sends a control signal to the first drive unit 401 to control the output shaft of the first drive unit 401 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 402 to rotate. The rotating shaft 402 drives the propeller 403 and the wiping ring 404 to rotate. The propeller 403 stirs the material in the fermentation chamber 201, ensuring that the material is fully mixed with the fermentation additive, thus improving the fermentation effect. Furthermore, the controller can also send control signals to the water pump 502 and the solenoid valve 503 to control the water pump 502 and the solenoid valve 503 to transport the first or second additive stored in the two storage tanks 501 into the fermentation chamber 201 to enhance the fermentation effect.

[0042] After the material fermentation is complete and the material is transported outside the fermentation chamber 201, the controller sends a control signal to the second drive component 302 to control the output shaft of the second drive component 302 to rotate, thereby driving the screw 303 to rotate. The screw 303 drives the moving plate 304 to move, thereby driving the propeller 403 and the wiping ring 404 of the rotating mechanism 4 to move along the axis of the fermentation tank 2. The wiping ring 404 wipes the fermentation tank 2, cleaning the material adhering to the fermentation tank 2. Furthermore, the controller can also send control signals to the water pump 502 and the solenoid valve 503 to control the water pump 502 and the solenoid valve 503 to transport the cleaning liquid stored in a storage tank 501 into the fermentation chamber 201 to clean the fermentation tank 2, the propeller 403, and the wiping ring 404. If the wiping ring 404 and the propeller are rotating, the cleaning effect is better.

[0043] In particular, when the material is highly viscous and adheres to the inside of the fermentation tank 2, making it difficult to transport the material outside the fermentation tank 2, the controller can send control signals to the first drive unit 401 and the second drive unit 302 to drive the wiping ring 404 and the propeller 403 to stir the material and squeeze the material out of the fermentation tank 2.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
