Abstract

Grain crushing machine, which is intended to crush cereals such as oats, wheat, barley, and to crush or break other grains such as beans, corn and similar products corresponding to animal feed, and being constituted from a general carcass with a grain loading hopper and a rolling support frame with handlebar that allows manual transfer from one place to another of the whole machine, it is characterized because it incorporates a speed reducer designed to reduce the operating speed up to 100 rpm, avoiding the heating of the grain that is crushed, establishing a process of crushing in dry.

Description

Grain crusher machine.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a machine grain crusher, specifically intended to perform a crushing of cereals (oats, wheat, barley,) and chopped or broken of other grain products, such as beans, corn, chickpea etc., to be used in all cases as feed for animals

The object of the invention is to achieve a crushing the grain in a dry process, preventing it from produce a heating of said grain and that this is in optimal conditions for consumption by animals, without dust generation

Background of the invention

In no doubt that crushing or breaking of the grain for feed is done to favor the digestion of animals, especially horses, avoiding this way that have colic, this being the cause of death of most The horses.

In cases where animals eat grains whole, without suffering the crushing or breaking process, such food or feed is excreted between 80 and 90%, so that the use is minimal.

Various types of machines and devices are known that perform the crushing of granular products for animal feed, so that in most cases and due to the high speed of rotation of the crushing elements, preferably pinions or cylinders with teeth, the grain is heated and a burning start with the corresponding odor occurs, which is rejected by the animals.
them.

Well, to prevent a pyrolysis by heating the grain, crushing is carried out normally with a water supply, that is to say that the process is performs in moisture, bringing the final product in its storage can ferment, being necessary to carry out a immediate consumption, since otherwise the crushed grain will will spoil.

Equally noteworthy is the fact that in the powder crushing process is generated dust, which is inhaled by the animals, being harmful to them.

Description of the invention

The crushing machine of the invention is constituted from a support frame with a grip handle and lower wheels to allow, by a single operator, its transfer from one place to another without any difficulty, and in whose frame The machine itself is assembled, consisting of a casing with electrical operation and with the appropriate crushing means, with an upper hopper in which the grain is discharged to
Crush.

Well, from these characteristics the machine of the invention presents a series of particularities that allow to solve the problem exposed in the section above, based first on incorporating a gear reducer speed that allows to reduce the operating speed up to 100 r.p.m., this speed is slow and avoids heating or burning of the grain, so the process is carried out dry and without the need for water supply as required conventionally.

The feed obtained, when crushed dry, It results in optimal conditions for consumption by animals or even for storage without fermenting.

On the other hand, it should be said that in the machine a pair of rollers participates through which the crushed, rollers that rotate in opposite directions and are able to approach and / or separate to a greater or lesser extent according to the grain to be crushed and according to the major or minor crushing of said grain is desired.

With the referred machine, apart from the advantages commented, maximum energy use is achieved I think crushed preventing the animal from excreting most of the I think, as happens when the grain is not crushed.

As a result of the advantage stated in the previous section, you get a feed saving since being crushed the use is maximum, ie the amount of crushed grain feed required by the animal is much smaller than that required when the grain has not been crushed, in addition to animal digestion is favored, all without generation of dust

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows a representation according to an overview of the crushing machine object of the invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view of the two rollers that the machine incorporates and that participate in the crushed the grain.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As you can see in the referred figures, the machine of the invention is constituted, as is conventional, to from a general housing (1) with a loading hopper (2) to the grain, said machine being located on a frame (3) with wheels (4) and a handlebar (5) that allow the manual transfer of a side by side by an operator.

The novelty of the invention is that the machine in question incorporates a reducer (6) so that the rotation is carried out at low speed, specifically at 100 r.p.m. compared to 600 r.p.m. to This type of machines normally works.

The grain is discharged onto the hopper (2) and of this passes to a pair of rollers (7) of opposite rotation, producing the crushing of said grain and falling through a mouth bottom outlet for collecting the crushed grain on a appropriate container

As can be seen in figure (1), said machine is electrically operated, with the corresponding outlet (10) pluggable into the conventional power supply network.
nal.

In addition, the transmission mechanism (8) provided next to the reducer (6) and consisting of pinions and chains, It will be protected by a detachable housing, also avoiding possible accidents of the operators at the time of carrying out some manipulation of the transmission mechanism, such as is the actuation of the lever (9) by means of which achieve a greater or lesser separation and / or approximation of rollers (7) etc.
