Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feed flavoring agent production technology, and specifically relates to a granulation device for feed flavoring agents. Background Technology

[0002] Feed flavoring agents are additives used to improve the flavor and palatability of feed. They stimulate animals' sense of smell and taste, masking unpleasant odors in the feed (such as the fishy or astringent smell of certain raw materials or the taste of drug additives), thereby enticing animals to eat, increasing feed intake, and improving feed utilization. The granulation device for feed flavoring agents is the core equipment in its production process, which is directly related to the quality, stability, and effectiveness of the final product.

[0003] Existing feed flavoring pelleting devices work by pouring the feed flavoring raw material into a feed hopper, which then feeds it into a processing chamber. The feed flavoring raw material is then extruded from the die by rotating a spiral pusher. The extruded flavoring raw material is then pelletized by controlling the movement of a cutter. However, in actual use, since pelleting is usually done with a single cutter, the extruded strips may come into contact with the retracting cutter during the reciprocating movement of the cutter, affecting the particle size of the subsequent cut materials. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this utility model addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a granulation device for feed flavoring agents, which converts the rotational motion into the linear reciprocating motion of the cutters on both sides. This design enables the cutters to cut the strip-shaped material extruded from the die hole (discharge hole) of the extrusion hopper at high speed, smoothly and synchronously. Its motion trajectory is precise, which can effectively ensure that the produced granules are highly uniform in size.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a granulation device for feed flavoring agent, including a processing box, an extrusion hopper fixedly installed at the discharge port of the processing box, multiple discharge holes opened in the middle of the extrusion hopper, a granulation seat fixedly installed between the extrusion hopper and the processing box, two sliding sleeves symmetrically distributed around the vertical center of the granulation seat fixedly installed inside the granulation seat, a sliding rod slidably installed inside each sliding sleeve, and a cutter detachably installed at one end of the sliding rod near the vertical center of the granulation seat, and a chute plate fixedly installed on the outside of the granulation seat; a support is fixedly installed on the lower side of the processing box, and a fixing plate is fixedly installed at each of the four corners of the lower end of the support.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, two supports are fixedly arranged inside the granulation seat, symmetrically distributed around the vertical center of the granulation seat. A rotating shaft is rotatably arranged between the supports and the inner wall of the granulation seat. A turntable is fixedly sleeved on the outer arc surface of the rotating shaft. A connecting rod is rotatably arranged on each turntable. The end of the connecting rod away from the turntable is rotatably connected to the adjacent sliding rod. Gear 1 is fixedly sleeved on the outer arc surface of the rotating shaft. Multiple rotating seats are fixedly arranged on the outside of the extrusion hopper. External gear rings are rotatably arranged between the rotating seats. Gear 1 is meshed with the external gear ring. A rotating shaft is rotatably arranged on the upper inner side of the granulation seat. Gear 2 is fixedly sleeved on the outer arc surface of the rotating shaft. Gear 2 is meshed with the external gear ring. Two support plates are fixedly arranged on the upper inner side of the granulation seat, symmetrically distributed around the vertical center of the granulation seat. A worm gear is rotatably arranged between the two support plates. A worm wheel is fixedly sleeved on the outer arc surface of the rotating shaft. The worm wheel is meshed with the worm gear. A servo motor 3 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the granulation seat. The output shaft of the servo motor 3 is fixed to the worm gear through a coupling.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a rotating rod is rotatably arranged in the middle of the processing box, and a spiral pusher plate is fixedly sleeved on the outer arc surface of the rotating rod. A second servo motor is arranged on the outside of the processing box, and the output shaft of the second servo motor is fixed to the rotating rod by a coupling.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, a feed pipe is fixedly provided on the upper surface of the processing box, and a feed hopper is provided on the upper side of the feed pipe; an agitator is rotatably provided inside the feed hopper, and a servo motor is provided on the outer side of the feed hopper.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Firstly, through the three-drive servo motor, the rotational motion is converted into the linear reciprocating motion of the cutters on both sides via the meshing transmission of the worm gear and worm wheel, and finally through the crank-connecting rod mechanism composed of the turntable, connecting rod and slide rod. This design enables the cutters to cut the strip-shaped material extruded from the die hole (discharge hole) of the extrusion hopper at high speed, smoothly and synchronously. Its motion trajectory is precise, which can effectively ensure that the produced particle size is highly uniform. This uniformity is particularly important for feed flavoring agents, as it can ensure that they are evenly distributed when mixed with feed in the future, avoiding local concentrations that are too high or too low.

[0010] Secondly, the stirring frame driven by servo motor one helps the material to be initially mixed in the feeding hopper and fall smoothly. Subsequently, the spiral pusher driven by servo motor two continuously and evenly pushes the material to the extrusion hopper and applies pressure to extrude it. At the same time, the cutter performs high-frequency cutting. This collaborative working mode of spiral pushing + synchronous cutting greatly improves production efficiency and can meet the capacity requirements of large-scale production.

[0011] Thirdly, during processing, the material is squeezed as it passes through the die holes of the extrusion hopper and rubs against components such as the screw, cylinder, and cutter, generating a certain amount of heat. This controllable temperature rise (similar in principle to feed pellet mills, with temperatures reaching 70-80℃) can partially gelatinize (mature) the starch in the flavoring agent carrier. This not only helps the pellets mature internally, forming a certain hardness, but also stimulates and fixes the aroma, producing a richer fragrance, thereby enhancing the palatability of the flavoring agent itself. At the same time, the increased density of the pellets after pelleting and the smaller surface area compared to powder helps reduce the loss of aroma during storage and transportation, extending the shelf life.

[0012] Fourth, the use of multiple servo motors as power sources means that key parameters such as the feeding speed and cutting frequency of the equipment can be precisely controlled and flexibly adjusted. This allows operators to easily adjust the granulation speed and particle size according to different material characteristics (such as viscosity and hardness) and production requirements, demonstrating good adaptability.

Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a more thorough understanding of this utility model.

[0017] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the device includes a processing box 103. A hopper 201 is fixedly installed at the discharge port of the processing box 103. Multiple discharge holes 204 are opened in the middle of the hopper 201. A granulation seat 202 is fixedly installed between the hopper 201 and the processing box 103. Two sliding sleeves 205 are fixedly installed inside the granulation seat 202, which are symmetrically distributed around the vertical center of the granulation seat 202. A sliding rod 206 is slidably installed inside each sliding sleeve 205. A cutter 207 can be detachably installed at one end of the sliding rod 206 near the vertical center of the granulation seat 202. A chute plate 203 is fixedly installed on the outside of the granulation seat 202.

[0018] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, two supports 208 are fixedly installed inside the granulation seat 202, symmetrically distributed around the vertical center of the granulation seat 202. A rotating shaft 209 is rotatably installed between each support 208 and the inner wall of the granulation seat 202. A turntable 210 is fixedly fitted onto the outer arc surface of each rotating shaft 209. A connecting rod 211 is rotatably installed on each turntable 210, and the end of the connecting rod 211 away from the turntable 210 is rotatably connected to an adjacent sliding rod 206. A gear 212 is fixedly fitted onto the outer arc surface of each rotating shaft 209. Multiple rotating seats 213 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the extrusion hopper 201. External gear rings 214 are rotatably installed between the rotating seats 213. Each gear 212 is connected to... An external gear ring 214 is engaged with the granulation seat 202. A rotating shaft 301 is rotatably mounted on the upper inner side of the granulation seat 202. A gear 302 is fixedly sleeved on the outer arc surface of the rotating shaft 301 and is engaged with the external gear ring 214. Two support plates are fixedly mounted on the upper inner side of the granulation seat 202, symmetrically distributed around the vertical center of the granulation seat 202. A worm gear 303 is rotatably mounted between the two support plates. A worm wheel 304 is fixedly sleeved on the outer arc surface of the rotating shaft 301 and is engaged with the worm gear 303. A servo motor 305 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the granulation seat 202. The output shaft of the servo motor 305 is fixed to the worm gear 303 through a coupling.

[0019] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, a rotating rod 108 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the processing box 103. A spiral pusher plate 109 is fixedly sleeved on the outer arc surface of the rotating rod 108. A servo motor 110 is mounted on the outer side of the processing box 103. The output shaft of the servo motor 110 is fixed to the rotating rod 108 by a coupling.

[0020] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a feed pipe 104 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the processing box 103, and a feed hopper 105 is installed on the upper side of the feed pipe 104; an agitator 106 is rotatably installed inside the feed hopper 105, and a servo motor 107 is installed on the outer side of the feed hopper 105.

[0021] According to another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a bracket 101 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the processing box 103, and a fixing plate 102 is fixedly installed at each of the four corners of the lower end of the bracket 101.

[0022] In use, the servo motor 305 is controlled to run, causing the output shaft of the servo motor 305 to drive the worm 303 connected to it to rotate. In turn, the meshing relationship between the worm 303 and the worm wheel 304 causes the rotating shaft 301 where the worm wheel 304 is located to rotate. In turn, the rotating shaft 301 drives the gear 2 302 mounted on it to rotate. In turn, the gear 2 302 drives the external gear ring 214 meshing with it to rotate. In turn, the external gear ring 214 drives the gear 1 212 meshing with it to rotate. In turn, the gear 1 212 drives the rotating shaft 209 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 209, the rotating shaft 209 drives the turntable 210 mounted on it to rotate. During the rotation of the turntable 210, the turntable 210 rotates with the connecting rod 211, and the connecting rod 211 rotates with the slide rod 206. The crank-connecting rod mechanism formed by the turntable 210, the connecting rod 211 and the slide rod 206 drives the slide rod 206 to slide back and forth inside the sliding sleeve 205. This causes the slide rods 206 on both sides to continuously move closer to and away from the vertical center of the extrusion hopper 201, which can drive the cutters 207 on both sides to quickly and smoothly move closer to and away from the vertical center of the extrusion hopper 201. Then, the servo motor 110 and servo motor 107 are controlled to run, so that the output shaft of servo motor 107 drives the agitator 106 connected to it to rotate, thereby causing the agitator 106 to rotate inside the feed hopper 105. The output shaft of servo motor 110 drives the rotating rod 108 connected to it to rotate, thereby causing the rotating rod 108 to drive the spiral pusher 109 mounted on it to rotate. The feed flavoring agent is poured into the inside of the feed hopper 105. The rotating agitator 106 inside the feed hopper 105 facilitates the material to quickly enter the processing box 103 through the feed pipe 104. Then, the rotation of the rotating rod 108 causes the spiral pusher 109 to push the feed flavoring agent material out of the extrusion hopper 201. The cutter 207, which continuously moves closer to and away from the vertical center of the extrusion hopper 201, quickly and stably pelletizes the material extruded from the discharge hole 204.

[0023] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
