Description

[0001] APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING FEED FROM ANIMAL CORPSE [0002]

The present invention relates to an animal carcass feeder, and more particularly, to an apparatus for treating animal feed such as poultry, poultry, and pigs infected with avian influenza or foot-and-mouth disease.

Recently, there have been many animal deaths due to bird flu and foot and mouth disease. Avian influenza is a viral epidemic that occurs in poultry or wild birds such as chickens and ducks, and is classified as low-pathogenic and highly pathogenic. Migratory birds play an important role in the transmission of the virus. Migratory birds are natural pathogens of viruses. However, even if they become infected, they show weak pathogenicity with weak symptoms. However, when the virus is transferred to poultry, it shows high pathogenicity. . Foot-and-mouth disease is an acute epidemic of domesticated livestock such as cattle, pigs, and goats. It is caused by virus infection. The foot-and-mouth disease virus is highly contagious and infects the respiratory tract through the air.

When the avian influenza or foot-and-mouth disease is infected with livestock, the infected livestock is mainly disposed of as a means to prevent the spread of the virus. However, according to the method for treating animal carcasses that are buried in the ground, the leachate of the buried land is contaminated with soil and groundwater, and furthermore, various diseases occur due to contaminated soil and groundwater, and environmental pollution such as odor is caused.

In order to solve such a problem, an incinerator for incinerating the carcass of a livestock has been developed, as disclosed in the following patent literature (utility model document). According to the conventional waste incineration apparatus, incineration is carried out by using fuel such as wood, diesel oil, and waste oil in the state where various wastes are placed in the heat dissipation chamber. In the case of wood, the combustion heat is low and the light oil is expensive. The incinerator of the above patent document has an advantage that the fuel cost can be reduced and the combustion temperature can be kept high by spraying light oil and waste oil sequentially with air. However, in any case, incineration of animal carcasses generates soot and dust in the incineration process, causing pollution problems such as pathogen spreading and odor discharge.

Accordingly, there is a desperate need for a solution to the problem of the conventional method of treating a livestock carcass.

1 and 2, an animal carcass feeding apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cutter 10 for cutting an animal carcass 1, a pair of rotating rollers 21, and a rotating roller 21 A crusher 20 for crushing the animal carcass 2 that has been cut while the projections 23 are engaged with each other and includes a plurality of projections 23 spaced apart in a tooth form at predetermined intervals on the respective outer circumferences, And an upper body 31 having an inlet 32 penetrating from the one surface in the thickness direction so as to allow the shredded animal carcass 3 to be introduced thereinto and an upper body 31 having one surface in contact with the other surface of the upper body 31, And a crusher 30 for crushing the incoming animal carcass 3 between the upper main body 31 and the lower main body 33,

The present invention relates to a device for treating animal feed such as poultry such as poultry, cattle, pigs and the like, which has been infected with avian influenza or foot-and-mouth disease. Since avian influenza (AI) and foot-and-mouth disease are viral epidemics that kill livestock, once the infection has been confirmed, the infected livestock is either disposed of or buried or incinerated to prevent spread of the virus. However, when landfilled livestock is buried, the leachate of the buried land is contaminated with soil and groundwater, and causes diseases and odors caused by pests. In addition, in the incineration process, soot, dust and odor are discharged into the atmosphere, resulting in another pollution. In order to solve the problems of the conventional animal carcass processing method, an animal carcass feeding apparatus according to the present invention has been developed.

Specifically, the animal carcass feeding apparatus according to the present invention includes a cutter 10, a crusher 20, and a crusher 30.

The cutter 10 is a device for cutting an animal carcass 1 that has been killed by avian influenza or foot-and-mouth disease. Here, the animal may be a poultry or wild bird that is infected with avian influenza, or a feeder that is infected with foot-and-mouth disease. However, animals to be fed are not limited to this, but include all animals that are killed due to diseases other than avian influenza or foot-and-mouth disease, fires, floods and other disasters.

As an example, the cutter 10 may include a rotating body 11, and a cutting blade 13. Here, the rotating body 11 is a member that rotates about a rotating shaft, and the cutting blades 13 are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance on the edges of the rotating body 11, Rotate. Therefore, when the animal carcass 1 flows into the cutter 10, the animal carcass 1 is cut with the cutting blade 13 moving in the up-and-down vertical direction with respect to the inflow direction. At this time, the rotational speed of the rotating body 11 can be designed so as to be variably controllable. In this case, the cutting size and cutting speed of the animal carcass 1 can be determined by adjusting the rotational speed.

However, the cutting device 10 is not necessarily required to have a structure in which a plurality of cutting blades 13 are attached to the rotating body 11, but may have other structures as long as it can cut the animal carcass 1 . For example, the rotating disc-shaped member is formed with a rotary blade structure having a blade or a saw shape so as to cut the animal carcass while moving in the vertical direction with respect to the inflow direction of the animal carcass, or to reciprocate the blade in the vertical direction .

On the other hand, the animal carcass 1 is supplied to the cutter 10 by a feeding means 8 such as a conveyor and the animal carcass 2 cut by the cutter 10 moves to the crusher 20, Lt; / RTI >

The crusher 20 is a device for crushing the cut animal carcass 2, wherein the crushing means breaking the bones, tissues and the like in the cut pieces of the animal carcass 2 more finely. Here, the crusher 20 includes a pair of rotating rollers 21, and a projection 23.

The pair of rotating rollers 21 are cylindrically shaped and are configured to rotate around a central axis. The pair of rotating rollers 21 are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance so as to face each other, Is placed at a certain position.

The protrusions 23 are arranged in spaced relation to each other at a predetermined interval along the outer periphery of each of the rotating rollers 21 to form a saw tooth shape and the protrusions 23 formed on the different rotating rollers 21 Respectively. Thus, the pair of rotating rollers 21 are rotated while engaging with the projections 23 of each other, and the cut animal carcass 2 passing between the spaced apart spaces is crushed by the projections 23. The crushed animal carcass 3 is moved to the crusher 30.

The crusher 30 is a device for crushing the crushed animal carcass 3, and finely crushes the tissue and bone of the crushed animal carcass 3. Therefore, the crushed animal carcass 3 is finally pulverized into a mixture of flour, tissue fragments, and fat in a liquid composed of blood and a tissue fluid. The crusher 30 for crushing the crushed animal carcass 3 may include an upper body 31 and a lower body 33.

The upper body 31 is formed in a plate or column shape having a predetermined thickness and has an inlet port 32 penetrating through the upper body 31 in the thickness direction. The crushed animal carcass 3 is supplied from the direction of one surface of the upper main body 31 and flows into the inflow port 32. The crushed animal carcass 3 passes through the inflow port 32 and flows toward the other surface of the upper main body 31 .

The lower main body 33 is a member whose one side is in contact with the other side of the upper main body 31 and is configured to be rotatable by applying a rotational force generated by the motor 35 or the like. At this time, the upper main body 31 and the lower main body 33 are not completely in close contact with each other, but a predetermined clearance exists therebetween, so that the lower main body 33 rotates and rubs against the upper main body 31. The crushed animal carcass 3 is crushed while moving along the clearance between the upper main body 31 and the lower main body 33 through the inlet 32. [ The crushed animal carcass 4 is transported to a drying chamber 70 to be described later, dried and sterilized, and fed.

3 is a cross-sectional view of an animal carcass feeding apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention.

3, the animal carcass feeding apparatus according to the present invention may further include an inflow roller 40 for adjusting the cutting size and cutting speed of the carcass 1. As described above, the cutting size and speed of the animal carcass 1 can be adjusted by controlling the rotational speed of the rotating body 11 to which the cutting blade 13 is attached. In addition, by using the inflow roller 40, Speed adjustment is possible.

The inflow rollers 40 are formed as a pair in the form of cylinders each rotatable, and are arranged on the side of the cutter 10 so as to face each other at a predetermined interval. When the animal carcass 1 is inserted into the spaced space between the pair of inflow rollers 40, the inflow roller 40 rotates in the opposite direction to the pair of inflow rollers 40, The carcass 1 is rotated while engaged with the carcass 1 to supply the carcass 1 with the cutter 10 disposed laterally.

On the other hand, the rotational speed of the inflow roller 40 can be variably controlled. A structure in which a rotating shaft is connected to the center of the inflow roller 40, a power supplied to a motor for driving the rotating shaft is adjusted, or a rotating shaft having a different rotating speed is exchanged using a clutch, The rotational speed of the roller 40 can be controlled (not shown). However, the rotation speed control method of the inflow roller 40 is not necessarily limited to the above-described method, and all known methods may be applied. When the rotational speed of the inflow roller 40 is controlled as described above, the inflow speed of the animal carcass 1 flowing into the cutter 10 can be adjusted, so that the cut size and cutting speed of the animal carcass 1 can be adjusted .

The animal carcass feeding apparatus according to the present invention may further include a hopper 50 for guiding the animal carcass 2 cut by the cutter 10 to the crusher 20. The hopper 50 is formed as a cone or pyramid that is opened to communicate the upper and lower ends, and the upper end is formed to have a relatively larger opening area than the lower end. The upper end of the hopper 50 is connected to the cutter 10 and the lower end of the hopper 50 is connected to a crusher (not shown) 20, respectively. The upper end of the hopper 50 having a relatively large opening area is disposed close to the cutter 10 even when the fragments are splashed in various directions in the process of cutting the animal carcass 1, ). ≪ / RTI > Since the cut pieces 2 have to be inserted between the pair of rotary rollers 21, the lower end of the hopper 50 having a small open area is disposed close to the crusher 20, And can be supplied to the crusher 20 by converging.

On the other hand, at least two pieces of the crusher 20 can be disposed to crush the cut animal carcass 2 more finely. At this time, the plurality of crushers 20 are vertically arranged in multiple stages. In other words, when a set of a pair of rotary rollers 21 having protrusions 23 (see Fig. 2) formed therein is provided between the cutter 10 and the crusher 30, Is disposed. At this time, the gap between the plurality of protrusions 23 formed on the pair of rotating rollers 21 gradually decreases toward the downward direction. Therefore, the interval between the projections 23 of the first crusher 20a disposed upward is relatively larger than the interval between the projections 23 of the second crusher 20b disposed downward, so that the second crusher 20b, Shreds the shredded debris more finely in the first shredder 20a.

In addition, the animal carcass feeding apparatus according to the present invention may further include a crushed water storage tank 60 so as to receive the crushed animal carcass 4 in the crusher 30. The crushed water storage tank 60 is a container having an accommodation space inside and an open top, and a crusher 30 is disposed therein to receive the crushed animal carcass 4. The pulverized product 4 accommodated therein is conveyed to the drying chamber 70 so that the conveying passage 61 is disposed to communicate the pulverized product storage tank 60 and the drying chamber 70. The conveying path 61 is formed by a pipe or a half-pipe type whose cross section is a "U" shape, but the shape is not limited thereto. In addition, the pulverized animal carcass 4 is a mixture of flour, tissue pieces, fat, etc. in a solution such as a blood or a tissue fluid, and is similar to the suspension. (Not shown).

The drying chamber 70 is a chamber for receiving and drying the crushed animal carcass 4 from the crushed water storage tank 60. A conveyor 80 and a heat blower 90 are disposed inside the chamber.

The conveyor 80 is a means for transporting the crushed animal carcass 4. Specifically, the conveyor 80 may include a front pulley 81, a rear pulley 83, and a transport belt 85. [ The front pulley 81 is a pulley that is rotated by receiving a driving force and the rear pulley 83 is a pulley that rotates in the same direction as the front pulley 81 rotates. The transport belt 85 is a belt formed in the shape of an elliptical ring and is arranged to be wound around the front pulley 81 and the rear pulley 83 to rotate and transport the pulverized animal carcass 4.

The hot air blower 90 generates hot air and blows hot air to the animal carcass 4 transported by the conveyor 80. As a result, the crushed animal carcass 4 is transformed into a small-size solid feed 5, in which the loose powder, the tissue fragments, and the fat are solidified as the liquid component evaporates and dries. On the other hand, when an additive is to be added to the feed 5, it can be added by adding an additive to the crushed water storage tank 60 and mixing them.

Here, the hot air stream 90 may be arranged to be long along the longitudinal direction of the transport belt 85 so as to jet hot wind along the transport belt 85 of the conveyor 80. A plurality of conveyors 80 and heaters 90 may be arranged vertically and vertically in such a manner that the conveyor 80 and the heat exchanger 90 may be arranged to correspond one to one. Further, the drying chamber 70 may be provided with a vent hole 71 which is heated by the hot air and discharges the humid air to the outside, and a discharge port 73 for discharging the generated feed.

On the other hand, there are viruses that cause infectious diseases in the dead animal carcass 1, and therefore there is a difficulty in pulverizing and drying the animal carcass 1 and directly feeding it. Accordingly, the animal carcass feeding apparatus according to the present invention may further include the sterilizing unit 100. The sterilizing unit 100 is a device for heating the crushed animal carcass 4 to kill the virus, for example, in the hollow of the ring-shaped transport belt 85, that is, the front pulley 81, the rear pulley 83 and a transportation belt 85 to sterilize the crushed animal carcass 4 by heating the transportation belt 85. [

The feed 5 thus dried and sterilized is discharged through the discharge port 73 of the drying chamber 70. The feed 5 may further include a packing unit 110 so as to be directly packed in the field. The packaging unit 110 is a device for fixing a packaging container such as paper, vinyl or plastic material around the discharge port 73 of the drying chamber 70. At this time, the packaging unit 110 may be designed to go from fixing the packaging container to sealing the opening of the packaging container by thermoforming or sewing when the feed 5 is filled.

Figs. 4A and 4B are enlarged views of the circle A shown in Figs. 2 to 3. Fig.

The upper main body 31 and the lower main body 33 of the crusher 30 may be formed so as to facilitate pulverization and discharge.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4A, a grinding surface may be formed on at least one of the other surface of the upper main body 31 and the one surface of the lower main body 33 which rotate in contact with each other. Here, the crushing surface is a surface on which unevenness is formed such that the roughness of the surface is relatively coarse. Therefore, the shredded animal carcass 3 becomes more effective and small in the crushing surface.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4B, one surface of the lower body 33 may be formed as an inclined surface inclined downward from the center to the edge. The animal carcass 1 which is separated from the upper body 31 and the lower body 33 is moved and discharged from the center of the lower body 33 in the edge direction so that one surface of the lower body 33 is inclined, And the animal carcass 4 flows down along the inclined surface naturally.

In summary, according to the present invention, the animal carcass that has been killed due to avian influenza, foot-and-mouth disease and the like is fed back to recycle the animal carcass to increase the efficiency of resource utilization and further, by heating the crushed animal carcass to kill the virus, It can treat animal carcasses and prevent environmental pollution.

In addition, the animal carcass feeding apparatus according to the present invention may be constructed as a structure mounted on a vehicle or a trailer towed by a vehicle. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to instantaneously move to an animal carcass processing site, and the animal carcass can be immediately processed and fed to the site.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be construed as limiting the present invention. It is obvious that the modification or improvement is possible.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
