Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to feed formulation technology, and more particularly to a method for controlling fermented feed formulations. Background Technology
[0002] Feed is a general term for the food of all animals raised by humans, including more than ten kinds of feed ingredients such as soybeans, soybean meal, corn, fish meal, amino acids, miscellaneous meals, whey powder, oils, meat and bone meal, grains, and feed additives. Feed processing refers to the production and processing of feed suitable for raising livestock and poultry on farms and by farmers. Feeding various feed ingredients in a certain proportion is an important part of the feed processing technology. With the advancement of technology, automatic feed feeding devices are now widely used to feed feed ingredients.

[0033] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the method for controlling the fermented feed formulation of this invention uses a feed formulation device 1 for feeding, enabling the rapid feeding of multiple different raw materials in a vertically arranged feeding tower 2, allowing for simultaneous feeding. The feed formulation device 1 consists of a feeding mechanism 3 and a mixing mechanism 4. The mixing mechanism 4 is installed at the lower end of the feeding mechanism 3. The feeding mechanism 3 is mainly used to feed various different raw materials at the same time or at different times, ensuring that all of them enter the feeding tower 2, and then pass through the feeding chamber 5 in the middle of the feeding tower 2 into the mixing chamber 6 for mixing.
[0035] The feeding mechanism 3 includes a feeding tower 2, a first feeding plate 7, a second feeding plate 8, and a third feeding plate 9. These three plates are all mounted on the feeding tower 2, arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The feeding chamber 5 contains a first rotating shaft 10, a second rotating shaft 11, and a third rotating shaft 12. The third rotating shaft 12 is positioned between the second rotating shaft 11, and the second rotating shaft 11 is positioned between the first rotating shaft 10. The first rotating shaft 10, second rotating shaft 11, and third rotating shaft 12 are mounted in the feeding chamber 5 via fixed bases (not shown in the figure). A first motor 13 is connected to the first rotating shaft 10 via a belt 14, a second motor 15 is connected to the second rotating shaft 11 via a belt 14, and a third motor 16 is connected to the third rotating shaft 12.
[0036] The first feeding tray 7, the second feeding tray 8, and the third feeding tray 9 have the same structure but different sizes to facilitate feeding the second feeding tray 8 and the third feeding tray 9. The first feeding tray 7 has a storage chamber 17 and a mounting hole 18 in the middle. The first feeding tray 7 is mounted on the feeding tower 2 through the mounting hole 18. The storage chamber 17 is divided into multiple storage areas 20 in the middle by a partition 19. The storage areas 20 are connected to the opening 21.
[0037] A feeding chamber 5 is formed in the feeding tower 2, and the feeding tower 2 is provided with an opening 21 that cooperates with the first feeding plate 7, the second feeding plate 8, and the third feeding plate 9.
[0038] The bottoms of the first feeding tray 7, the second feeding tray 8, and the third feeding tray 9 are truncated cones and extend toward the feeding tower 2, so that the raw materials in the storage area 20 can enter the inlet 21 under the action of gravity.
[0039] The opening and closing component 22 is used to open and close the outlet 21, enabling the component to control the discharge of raw materials. The opening and closing component 22 is located in the feeding chamber 5 at the outlet 21. The mixing drum 23 is located at the lower end of the feeding tower 2, forming a mixing chamber 6 in the middle. The feeding chamber 5 and the mixing chamber 6 are connected. The mixing drum 23 is equipped with a cover 24 for discharging the mixed material.
[0040] The opening and closing assembly 22 consists of a hinge seat 25, a hinge rod 26, a push plate 27, an arc plate 28, and a baffle 29. The hinge seat 25 is connected to the inner wall of the feeding chamber 5. One end of the push plate 27 is connected to the hinge seat 25 through the hinge rod 26, and the lower end of the push plate 27 is connected to the baffle 29 through the arc plate 28. The baffle 29 is located at the opening 21.
[0041] A push block 30 is provided on the first rotating shaft 10, the second rotating shaft 11, and the third rotating shaft 12, and the push block 30 is located at the lower end of the push plate 27. The push block 30 is used to push one end of the push plate 27 upward. To facilitate the push block 30 in pushing the push plate 27, an electromagnetic push rod (not shown in the figure) is provided in the middle of the first rotating shaft 10, the second rotating shaft 11, and the third rotating shaft 12. The electromagnetic push rod is connected to the push block 30. The electromagnetic push rod drives the push block 30 to push upward, and then the push block 30 pushes the push plate 27, so that one end of the push plate 27 moves upward, while the other end rotates on the hinge seat 25 through the hinge rod 26.
[0042] The push plate 27 is connected to the inner wall of the feeding chamber 5 by a first spring 31. One end of the first spring 31 is connected to the inner wall of the feeding chamber 5, and the other end is connected to the middle of the push plate 27. The first spring 31 is used to push the push plate 27, so that the push plate 27 applies external force to the baffle 29 and blocks the opening 21.
[0043] The fourth motor 32 is equipped with a rotating rod 33, on which a conical sleeve 34 is mounted. The rotating rod 33 also has symmetrical movable rods 35, on which fan blades 36 are mounted, inclined on the movable rods 35. Multiple fixing rods 37 are located at the lower end of the fan blades 36, and telescopic rods 38 are located at the lower end of the fixing rods 37. A second spring 39 is located between the telescopic rods 38 and the fixing rods 37. The mixing chamber 6 has symmetrical protrusions 40, which are connected to the bottom surface of the mixing chamber 6 via an arc-shaped surface 41.
[0044] The fourth motor 32 drives the rotating rod 33 to rotate, keeping the fan blade 36 and the fixed rod 37 rotating. The lower end of the telescopic rod 38 is ball-shaped. When it rotates to the protrusion 40, it can keep the telescopic rod 38 compressed to compress the second spring 39, thus causing the fan blade 36 to rotate on the movable rod 35. When the raw material falls from the feeding chamber 5, it can be dispersed by the fan blade 36 to achieve uniform mixing of different materials. At the same time, the fixed rod 37 and the telescopic rod 38 also mix the materials in the mixing chamber 6.
[0045] The fan blade 36, fixed rod 37, movable rod 35, rotating rod 33 and fourth motor 32 form a hybrid assembly 42.
[0046] When the feed formulation equipment 1 is in operation, the following steps are included:
[0047] Step 1: Add different raw materials to the first feeding tray 7, the second feeding tray 8, and the third feeding tray 9 set on the feeding tower 2.
[0048] Step 2: Start the first motor 13 to drive the first rotating shaft 10, so that it selects a point of opening and closing component 22, keeping the raw material in the first feeding tray 7 falling into the feeding chamber 5.
[0049] Step 3: Start the second motor 15 to drive the second rotating shaft 11, so that it selects a point of opening and closing component 22, keeping the raw material in the second feeding tray 8 falling into the feeding chamber 5.
[0050] Step 4: Start the third motor 16 to drive the third rotating shaft 12, so that it selects a point of opening and closing component 22, keeping the raw material in the third feeding tray 9 falling into the feeding chamber 5.
[0051] Step 5: Start the fourth motor 32. The fourth motor 32 drives the mixing component 42 in the mixing drum 23 to rotate, mixing the raw materials falling from the feeding chamber 5.
[0052] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
