[0026] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following description.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, a mixing and constant temperature system for dosing medicine in pig feed is characterized in that it includes a mixing barrel 1, a control box 2, a stirrer 3, a doser 5, a water tank 6 and a drinking bowl 30, wherein the control box 2 is installed on one side of the top of the mixing barrel 1, the stirrer 3 is installed at the top center of the mixing barrel 1, the doser 5 is installed on one side of the stirrer 3, the loading amount of the doser 5 is about 500g, the water tank 6 is arranged on the side wall of the mixing barrel 1, the bottom of the mixing barrel 1 has a discharge pipe 8, the lower end of the discharge pipe 8 is connected to the feed tray 7, and a material level sensor 11 is installed in the feed tray 7. 11 can detect the amount of feed in the feed tray 7. A water inlet pipe 23 is installed on the water tank 6. The water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 23 is connected to the water source. A heater 22 is installed in the water tank 6. The heater 22 has its own temperature sensor and can maintain the water temperature in the water tank 6 at 37°C. A circulating water outlet pipe 24 is connected to the bottom of the water tank 6. The lower end of the circulating water outlet pipe 24 is connected to the interlayer 34 at the bottom of the feed tray 7. When 37°C water enters the interlayer 34, the feed in the feed tray 7 can be kept warm, so that the feed eaten by the pigs is kept at the optimal temperature. A circulating pump 2 is installed on the circulating water outlet pipe 24. 5. The circulation pump 25 provides circulation power for the circulating water. The interlayer 34 is connected to one end of the circulating return pipe 28. The other end of the circulating return pipe 28 is connected to the first end of the tee 29. The second end of the tee 29 is connected to a drinker 31. The drinker 31 is placed in a drinking bowl 30. The drinking bowl 30 is installed on the side wall of the pig house. The third end of the tee 29 is connected to one end of the circulating return pipe 32. The other end of the circulating return pipe 32 is connected to the water tank 6. During the return process, the circulating water passes through the drinker 31. When the pigs need water, they can drink the circulating water at the drinking bowl 30. The temperature of the circulating water is still maintained at around 37°C, so that pigs can drink warm water at any time. The water tank 6 is also connected to the water outlet pipe 26, the lower end of which extends into the feed tray 7. A solenoid valve 27 is installed on the water outlet pipe 26. The signal output end of the material level sensor 11 is connected to the signal input end of the control box 2. The control output end of the control box 2 is respectively connected to the agitator 3, the heater 22, the circulating pump 25 and the solenoid valve 27. A dosing controller 4 is provided on one side of the control box 2, and the control output end of the dosing controller 4 is connected to the control input end of the doser 5.

[0028] Furthermore, the agitator 3 includes a stirring motor 12, a stirring rod 13, a discharge screw 14, and a stirring spring 33. The stirring motor 12 is fixedly mounted upside down at the top center of the mixing barrel 1. The output end of the stirring motor 12 is connected to the upper end of the stirring rod 13. The lower end of the stirring rod 13 extends into the discharge pipe 8. The stirring rod 13 located inside the discharge pipe 8 is provided with a discharge screw 14. The stirring spring 33 is mounted on the stirring rod 13, and the free end of the stirring spring 33 is attached to the bottom wall of the mixing barrel 1. The stirring motor 12 drives the stirring rod 13 to rotate, and the stirring spring 33 stirs the feed in the mixing barrel 1 and scrapes off the feed adhering to the mixing barrel 1. Finally, the feed is quantitatively discharged through the discharge screw 14 in the discharge pipe 8.

[0029] Furthermore, the doser 5 includes a dosing cartridge 15, a dosing motor 16, a dosing tube 17, an inner spring 18, and an outer spring 19. The dosing cartridge 15 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mixing barrel 1, and the dosing motor 16 is fixedly mounted on the top of the dosing cartridge 15. The output end of the dosing motor 16 is connected to the upper end of the inner spring 18. The dosing tube 17 is obliquely arranged at the bottom of the dosing cartridge 15, and the lower end of the inner spring 18 extends into the dosing tube 17. The outer side of the inner spring 18 is sleeved with an outer spring 19. A collar 21 is provided on the outer wall of the lower end of the dosing tube 17, and the collar 21 is sleeved on the middle part of the stirring rod 13. When it is necessary to add medicine, the dosing motor 16 drives the inner spring 18 and the outer spring 19 to rotate, wherein the inner spring 18 is a dense wave spring and the outer spring 19 is a sparse wave spring, both of which are made of 304 stainless steel. The inner spring 18 serves as a flexible rotating shaft and the outer spring 19 serves as a spiral structure to achieve quantitative delivery of medicine. By controlling the speed of the dosing motor 16 through the dosing controller 4, the amount of medicine added per unit time can be controlled.

[0030] Furthermore, the dosing motor 16 is eccentrically arranged at the top of the dosing barrel 15, and the doser 5 further includes a cleaning spring 20, one end of which is connected to the upper part of the inner spring 18, and the other end of the cleaning spring 20 can intermittently sweep the inner wall of the dosing barrel 15. When the dosing motor 16 drives the inner spring 18 to rotate, due to the eccentric arrangement of the dosing motor 16, when the cleaning spring 20 turns to the eccentric side, the cleaning spring 20 can sweep the inner wall of the dosing barrel 15. When the cleaning spring 20 is away from the eccentric side, the cleaning spring 20 does not contact the inner wall of the dosing barrel 15, thereby achieving intermittent sweeping of the inner wall of the dosing barrel 15. This arrangement is intended to enable the inner spring 18 to vibrate slightly intermittently, so as to remove the powder adhering to the inner spring 18.

[0031] Furthermore, the dosing motor 16 is a DC motor.

[0032] Furthermore, a pipeline cover plate 10 is provided below the water tank 6, and the circulating water outlet pipe 24, the water outlet pipe 26 and the circulating water return pipe 28 are all located on the inner side of the pipeline cover plate 10, which can prevent the pipelines from being damaged by the pigs when eating.

[0033] Furthermore, a plurality of connecting rods 9 are provided between the edge of the material tray 7 and the discharge pipe 8 , thereby improving the connection strength between the material tray 7 and the mixing barrel 1 .

[0034] Furthermore, the drinking fountain 31 is a nipple drinking fountain, which is available on the market. It is more convenient for pigs to drink water. When they need to drink water, water can be discharged when their mouth touches the drinking fountain 31. When they leave the drinking fountain 31, the water discharge stops.

[0035] The present invention operates as follows: feed is placed in the mixing drum 1, and the control box 2 controls the stirring motor 12, whose speed can be adjusted according to the discharge rate. Feed is then placed in the feed tray 7, and the pigs can begin to eat. A heater 22 in the water tank 6 heats the water, maintaining a constant temperature of approximately 37°C. When the feed tray 7 needs water, the control box 2 controls the opening of the solenoid valve 27, which then introduces water into the feed tray 7 through the outlet pipe 26. Simultaneously, a level sensor 11 monitors the feed level in the feed tray 7. When the level exceeds a threshold, the stirring motor 12 is stopped and the solenoid valve 27 is closed. When the pigs need a drink, they can touch the drinking fountain 31 at the drinking bowl 30 with their mouths. Water entering the tee 29 from the circulating return pipe 1 28 flows out of the drinking fountain 31. When their mouths are no longer in contact with the drinking fountain 31, the water entering the tee 29 from the circulating return pipe 1 28 flows back into the water tank 6 through the circulating return pipe 2 32. When it is necessary to add medicine (powdered medicine) to the pigs, add an appropriate amount of medicine into the dosing cylinder 15, and control the speed of the dosing motor 16 by the dosing controller 4, and at the same time control the speed of the stirring motor 12 to achieve quantitative dosing.

[0036] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
