Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feed storage technology, and specifically relates to a feed storage tower for laying hen farming. Background Technology

[0002] In egg-laying hen farming, the quality of stored feed directly affects the growth, development, and egg production performance of the hens. As a key piece of equipment for centralized feed storage, the performance of feed storage towers is crucial to the preservation and utilization efficiency of the feed. However, existing feed storage towers for egg-laying hen farming have many problems in practical applications, making it difficult to meet the demands for efficient and high-quality feed storage.

[0003] On the one hand, traditional feed storage towers lack effective methods for monitoring and controlling temperature and humidity. During storage, feed is easily affected by the environment, leading to increased internal temperature and humidity. This makes the feed highly susceptible to mold and clumping, which not only destroys the nutritional components of the feed but may also produce harmful substances, threatening the health of laying hens. Most existing storage towers rely solely on natural ventilation for regulation, making it difficult to implement targeted cooling and dehumidification based on actual conditions. This results in a high risk of feed spoilage, seriously affecting the storage quality and safety of feed.

[0004] On the other hand, existing storage towers have significant defects in the feed discharge process, easily leading to feed residue and waste. Because the bottom of the storage silos is mostly designed with a slope or a flat bottom, a large amount of feed often remains in the bottom corners and inner walls during the discharge process, making it impossible to completely remove it using conventional discharge methods. To clean up this residual feed, manual cleaning of the storage silos is required periodically, which not only increases the labor intensity of workers but also raises labor costs and affects the cleanliness of the feed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems of existing feed storage towers, this utility model provides a feed storage tower for laying hen farming, which can cool and dehumidify the feed, and clean residual feed by spiral rod, saving manual cleaning costs.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A feed storage tower for laying hen farming includes a hatch cover, a feed bin, a ventilated plate, and a forced-air drying box; The hatch cover is located on the top of the storage silo and is threadedly connected to the feed chute located on the top of the storage silo. The storage silo has several air outlet pipes around its top, a discharge chute at its bottom, and several support legs around the bottom of the discharge chute. Inside the storage silo, above the discharge chute, is a blower drying box with a ventilated plate on its upper part. The upper part of the ventilated plate is provided with a connecting plate, the two ends of the connecting plate are fixed to the inner wall of the storage bin, and a first motor is fixed in the middle of the bottom surface of the connecting plate. The output end of the first motor is connected to the tail end of the rotating plate. The rotating plate is arranged in an inverted "L" shape with an opening on one side. A discharge pipe is provided at the tail end of the rotating plate. The discharge pipe passes through the air-permeable plate and the blower drying box and connects to the discharge trough. A spiral rod is provided inside the rotating plate, and the spiral rod is connected to the output end of the second motor. The second motor is located at the tail end of the rotating plate. The blower is located on the side of the blower drying box, and the blower is connected to the inside of the blower drying box through an air inlet pipe.

[0007] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Feed is loaded into the storage silo through the feeding chute. After loading, the cover at the top of the feeding chute is tightened to prevent impurities from entering the silo. During storage, the ventilation plate at the bottom of the silo increases the contact area between the feed and the air below, improving dehumidification and cooling efficiency. The blower can also be activated to extract air from the drying chamber, further cooling and dehumidifying the feed. When retrieving feed, the second motor is activated, driving the auger to rotate and draw the feed into the rotating plate, which then falls through the discharge pipe into the discharge chute. Once the silo is mostly emptied, the first motor is activated, rotating the plate along the center of the ventilation plate to clean its surface. This ensures that any remaining feed at the bottom of the silo is conveyed out, preventing waste and cleaning the silo floor.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, a filter screen is provided inside the air outlet duct.

[0009] Installing filters can prevent flying insects, dust, and other contaminants from entering the storage silo and causing pollution.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the side wall of the storage silo is provided with several connecting frames that penetrate the silo body, and temperature probes and humidity probes are placed in the connecting frames respectively.

[0011] Multiple connecting frames are installed on the outer wall of the storage silo to insert temperature and humidity probes into the feed to measure the temperature and humidity of the feed. This allows for better monitoring of the internal environment of the storage silo and adjustment of humidity and temperature.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model sets up a blower drying box at the bottom of the storage silo and then uses a ventilated plate to increase the contact area between the feed and the air. When the temperature and humidity inside the storage silo are abnormal, the blower can be quickly started to cool and dehumidify, thereby ensuring the quality of the feed and increasing the storage time.

[0013] 2. This utility model uses a motor to drive a screw to rotate for feed conveying and discharge. When feed residue remains on the surface of the ventilated plate, the motor drives a rotating plate to clean the surface of the ventilated plate, automatically cleaning the feed residue in the storage bin and reducing the intensity of manual labor.
