A mobile feeder and its usage method

Abstract

The present invention discloses a mobile feeder and its usage method, which includes a feed bin. The periphery of the feed bin is fixedly installed with a frame. A sliding frame is arranged on the top of the feed bin. The sliding frame is connected to a moving device, and the moving device is used to move the feed bin between area a and area b. The sliding frame and the frame are connected by an opening and closing device, and the opening and closing device is used to open and close the feed bin. For this mobile feeder, after discharging, the feed bin is moved from area b to area a through the moving device, and then the feed bin is tilted and opened through the opening and closing device. After cleaning the feed bin, the cleaning liquid in the feed bin is drained outwards along the inner wall of the tilted and opened feed bin, making the cleaning of the feed bin more convenient; after discharging, the feed bin is moved from area b to area a through the moving device, so that the feed bin is far away from the energized devices such as the feeding device, making it difficult for the cleaning liquid used in the subsequent cleaning process to affect the energized devices; the opening and closing device enables the feed bin to be cleaned without disassembly, facilitating the direct cleaning of the feed bin on the feeder.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of feeders, and in particular to a mobile feeder and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the food production process, raw materials and seasoning ingredients need to be quantitatively output through feeders, and then the output materials are transported to the processing workshop for subsequent processing. Seasonings can increase the color, aroma and taste of dishes, promote appetite, and are supplementary foods that are beneficial to human health. They can improve food quality and meet the sensory needs of consumers, thereby stimulating appetite and promoting human health. Broadly speaking, seasonings include salting agents, sour agents, sweeteners, umami agents and spicy agents. Common seasonings on the market are in powder form.

[0003] When the feeder outputs powdered materials such as seasonings, a large amount of material will be attached to the material box. When other materials are put into the material box and then output, the materials are mixed with the materials attached to the material box and output together, affecting the feeding quality of the feeder. Therefore, the material box will be cleaned every time the feeder finishes outputting materials. To clean the material box, the material box needs to be disassembled from the feeder for cleaning, and the feeder is large in size and not easy to disassemble. If the material box is not disassembled, directly injecting cleaning liquid into the material box will cause the cleaning liquid to flow along the workpiece in the material box into the motor and other powered structures, thereby creating a safety risk. In addition, the cleaning liquid in the material box that has not been disassembled is difficult to empty, and a small amount of cleaning liquid remains at the bottom of the material box and is not easy to discharge. The remaining cleaning liquid needs to be manually discharged, making the cleaning of the material box inconvenient. Summary of the invention
