Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of feed processing technology, specifically a livestock feed production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Livestock feed production refers to the process of producing feed that provides livestock with the nutrition and energy they need. Feed production typically includes selecting suitable raw materials, mixing and stirring, processing, packaging, and distribution. The goal of livestock feed production is to provide livestock with balanced nutrition, promote their growth and development, and improve their production performance and health.

[0003] For example, utility model publication CN214810116U discloses a livestock feed processing device, belonging to the field of feed processing equipment. It solves the problem of the lack of a livestock feed processing device in the prior art that is simple in structure, thoroughly mixes and stirs the feed, uses a cutter to cut the extruded feed during extrusion molding, and can dry the feed. It mainly includes a mixing box, support legs, a control box, and a drying and conveying device. The mixing box is equipped with a motor I and a feed inlet. Motor I is connected to a rotating shaft I, which is equipped with a stirrer. The stirrer includes a straight rod and a bent rod, one end of which is welded together, and the other end of which is welded to the rotating shaft I. A motor II is located below the mixing box, driving a screw feeder. A feed inlet is located below the mixing box. A cutter is located at the discharge end of the screw feeder.

[0004] The above-mentioned device solves problems such as insufficient feed mixing and inconvenience in cutting during shaping by designing the mixing box and drying and conveying device. However, for livestock of different sizes, it is necessary to provide feed of appropriate size according to their digestive system and oral structure. However, the above-mentioned device cannot adjust the size and volume of the feed after cutting during use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a livestock feed production device that has the advantage of conveniently adjusting the distance of the cutter's descent, thereby controlling the size of the feed after cutting.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A livestock feed production device includes an outer box and a feeding funnel, the feeding funnel being disposed on the top of the outer box; the feeding funnel and a first motor are fixedly connected to the top of the outer box; a storage box is fixedly connected inside the outer box; a second motor is fixedly connected to one side of the outer box; a push rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the second motor; a forming cylinder is disposed on one side of the storage box; the end of the push rod extends into the forming cylinder; a mold plate is fixed to the front end of the forming cylinder; and a rotating assembly is disposed inside the outer box.

[0008] The rotating assembly includes a cylindrical cam movably connected inside the outer casing, and the outer wall of the cylindrical cam is provided with a first guide groove and a second guide groove respectively.

[0009] A fan is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylindrical cam. A slide rail is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer casing away from the rotating component. A moving block is slidably connected to one side of the slide rail. A first gear, a first toothed plate, and a second toothed plate are movably connected inside the moving block. A threaded rod is threadedly connected to the front side of the moving block. A cutter is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving block. A drawer is movably connected inside the outer casing. A sealing component is provided inside the outer casing. A door panel is hinged to the front side of the outer casing.

[0010] The mold plate has a plurality of first forming holes and second forming holes spaced apart. An adjusting plate is rotatably connected to the mold plate, which can block the first forming hole or the second forming hole. The diameter of the first forming hole is larger than that of the second forming hole. The adjusting plate is connected to the first toothed plate through a lever mechanism, and the adjusting plate is driven to rotate by the movement of the first toothed plate.

[0011] The lever mechanism includes a fixed plate, a fork block, and a connecting rod; the fixed plate is fixedly connected to the forming cylinder, the fork block is slidably connected to the fixed plate, a lever is fixed on the adjusting plate, the lever passes through the forming cylinder and cooperates with the fork block; the fork block is fixedly connected to the first toothed plate through the connecting rod; the connecting rod is a telescopic rod.

[0012] The bottom of the feeding funnel is connected to the top of the storage box, the push rod is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage box, the fan is located at the top of the drawer, and the cutter is initially in contact with the outer wall of the mold plate.

[0013] Both the first guide groove and the second guide groove are corrugated. The amplitude of the first guide groove is smaller than that of the second guide groove. The first toothed plate and the second toothed plate are respectively provided with a protrusion and a protruding rod at the end near the rotating assembly.

[0014] In its initial state, the protrusion on the second toothed plate extends into the interior of the first guide groove, and the upper and lower ends of the first gear mesh with the second toothed plate and the first toothed plate, respectively.

[0015] A cross-shaped locking block is provided in the middle of the threaded rod, and a sliding groove that cooperates with the cross-shaped locking block is provided on the inner wall of the first gear. The sliding groove is used to limit the circumferential movement of the threaded rod during rotation.

[0016] When the threaded rod rotates, it drives the first gear to rotate through the slide groove. When the first gear rotates, it drives the first tooth plate and the second tooth plate to move towards each other, and causes the protrusion on the second tooth plate to disengage from the first guide groove.

[0017] After the first toothed plate moves, the protrusion extends into the interior of the second guide groove. When the cylindrical cam rotates, the protrusion slides up and down inside the second guide groove, and drives the moving block to move down.

[0018] The sealing assembly includes an air outlet opened on the outer wall of the outer casing, and a toothed baffle and a second gear are movably connected inside the outer casing, with the toothed baffle meshing with the second gear.

[0019] The toothed baffle seals the air outlet in its initial state. A handle is fixedly connected to the middle of the second gear. The handle passes through the outer wall of the outer casing and extends to the outside of the outer casing.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0021] This invention utilizes the cooperation between rotating components, moving blocks, and a first gear to easily adjust the descent frequency of the cutter according to the needs of different feeds, thereby improving feed production efficiency. When the volume of feed to be produced is large, rotating the threaded rod drives the first gear to rotate. Subsequently, through the cooperation between the first gear and the first and second toothed plates, the protrusion retracts into the interior of the moving block, and the protrusion extends into the interior of the second guide groove. Then, the protrusion moves along the trajectory of the second guide groove, driving the moving block and the cutter at its bottom to move, thereby changing the descent frequency of the cutter and thus changing the feed volume (length).

[0022] This invention facilitates the cooling of cut feed through the cooperation of structures such as a fan and sealing components, thereby improving processing efficiency. The rotation of the cylindrical cam drives the fan to rotate, thereby accelerating the dissipation of heat from the feed surface. Subsequently, the rotation of the second gear drives the toothed baffle to move, thereby releasing the seal of the toothed baffle on the air outlet. This allows the heat inside the outer box to be discharged to the outside through the air outlet, while accelerating the air circulation inside the outer box, thus shortening the cooling time.

[0023] The adjusting plate is connected to the first toothed plate through a lever mechanism; that is, the linkage between the first toothed plate and the adjusting plate is realized, thereby changing the material feeding volume (diameter). Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention provides a livestock feed production equipment, including an outer box 1, a feeding funnel 2 and a first motor 3 fixedly connected to the top of the outer box 1, a storage box 4 fixedly connected inside the outer box 1, a second motor 5 fixedly connected to one side of the outer box 1, a push rod 6 fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the second motor 5, a mold plate 7 provided on one side of the storage box 4, and a rotating assembly 8 provided inside the outer box 1.

[0036] The rotating component 8 includes a cylindrical cam 801 movably connected inside the outer casing 1. The outer wall of the cylindrical cam 801 is provided with a first guide groove 802 and a second guide groove 803.

[0037] A fan 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylindrical cam 801. A slide rail 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 1 on the side away from the rotating component 8. A moving block 11 is slidably connected to one side of the slide rail 10. A first gear 12, a first toothed plate 14, and a second toothed plate 15 are movably connected inside the moving block 11. A threaded rod 16 is threadedly connected to the front side of the moving block 11. A cutter 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving block 11. A drawer 18 is movably connected inside the outer casing 1. A sealing component 19 is provided inside the outer casing 1. A door panel 20 is hinged to the front side of the outer casing 1.

[0038] The above scheme is adopted: when the push rod 6 rotates, the feed is pushed to the mold plate 7, so that the feed is extruded and shaped by the push rod 6 and the mold plate 7. Then, the protrusion on the second toothed plate 15 extends into the interior of the first guide groove 802. When the first motor 3 drives the cylindrical cam 801 to rotate, the protrusion moves the moving block 11 and the cutter 17 up and down along the trajectory of the first guide groove 802, and quickly cuts the feed extruded into the mold plate 7, thereby meeting the digestive needs of small animals.

[0039] The bottom of the feeding funnel 2 is connected to the top of the storage box 4. The push rod 6 is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage box 4. The fan 9 is located at the top of the drawer 18. The cutter 17 is initially attached to the outer wall of the mold plate 7. The first guide groove 802 and the second guide groove 803 are both corrugated. The amplitude of the first guide groove 802 and the amplitude of the second guide groove 803 are different, thereby changing the cutting frequency of the cutter 17.

[0040] The first toothed plate 14 and the second toothed plate 15 are respectively provided with a protrusion and a protruding rod at one end near the rotating assembly 8. The protruding rod on the second toothed plate 15 initially extends into the interior of the first guide groove 802. The upper and lower ends of the first gear 12 mesh with the second toothed plate 15 and the first toothed plate 14 respectively.

[0041] The above scheme is adopted: the amplitude of the first guide groove 802 is greater than that of the second guide groove 803. Its function is that when the volume of feed to be produced is large, the operator rotates the threaded rod 16, thereby driving the first gear 12 to rotate. Then the first gear 12 drives the second toothed plate 15 and the first toothed plate 14 to move towards each other, thereby causing the second toothed plate 15 to drive the cam to retract into the interior of the moving block 11, and causing the first toothed plate 14 to drive the cam to extend into the interior of the second guide groove 803. Then, when the cylindrical cam 801 rotates, the cam moves along the trajectory of the second guide groove 803, driving the moving block 11 and the cutter 17 at its bottom to move, thereby reducing the descending frequency of the cutter 17 and thus increasing the length of the cut feed.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figures 7-9 As shown, a plurality of first forming holes 701 and second forming holes 702 are spaced apart on the mold plate 7, wherein the diameter of the first forming hole 701 is larger than that of the second forming hole 702. An adjusting plate 22 is rotatably connected to the mold plate, which can block either the first forming hole 701 or the second forming hole 702; the adjusting plate 22 is connected to the first toothed plate through a lever mechanism 23, and the adjustment plate 22 is driven to rotate by the movement of the first toothed plate.

[0043] When the first toothed plate 14 drives the protrusion to extend into the second guide groove 803, the first toothed plate 14 drives the adjusting plate 22 to rotate through the lever mechanism 23, so that the adjusting plate 22 blocks the second forming hole 702 and exposes the first forming hole 701, that is, the diameter of the feed extruded into the mold plate 7 increases. In this way, the length and diameter of the cut feed both increase.

[0044] Conversely, when the protrusion on the second toothed plate 15 extends into the first guide groove 802, the first toothed plate 14 drives the adjusting plate 22 to rotate in the opposite direction through the lever mechanism 23, causing the adjusting plate 22 to block the first forming hole 701 and expose the second forming hole 702, thus reducing the diameter of the feed extruded from the mold plate 7. In this way, both the length and diameter of the cut feed are reduced.

[0045] The aforementioned lever mechanism 23 includes a fixed plate 24, a fork block 25, and a connecting rod 26. The fixed plate 24 is fixedly connected to the forming cylinder 21, and the fork block 25 is slidably connected to the fixed plate 24. A lever 27 is fixed on the adjusting disc 22, and the lever 27 passes through the forming cylinder 21 and engages with the fork block 25. The forming cylinder 21 has a corresponding opening slot. The fork block 25 has two uprights, and the lever 27 is located between the two uprights.

[0046] The shift fork block 25 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 26, and the other end of the connecting rod 26 passes through the moving block and is fixedly connected to the first toothed plate 14. The moving block is provided with a corresponding through groove. The connecting rod 26 is a telescopic rod.

[0047] When the first toothed plate 14 moves, it pushes the shift fork block 25 to move through the connecting rod 26, and the shift fork block 25 pushes the shift lever 27 to move, thereby driving the adjusting plate 22 to rotate.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a cross-shaped locking block is provided in the middle of the threaded rod 16. The inner wall of the first gear 12 is provided with a sliding groove 13 that cooperates with the cross-shaped locking block. The sliding groove 13 is used to limit the circumferential movement of the threaded rod 16 when it rotates. When the threaded rod 16 rotates, it drives the first gear 12 to rotate through the sliding groove 13. When the first gear 12 rotates, it drives the first tooth plate 14 and the second tooth plate 15 to move towards each other, and causes the protrusion on the second tooth plate 15 to disengage from the first guide groove 802. After the first tooth plate 14 moves, the protrusion extends into the interior of the second guide groove 803. When the cylindrical cam 801 rotates, the protrusion slides up and down inside the second guide groove 803, and drives the moving block 11 to move down.

[0049] Using the above solution: When the threaded rod 16 rotates through the sliding groove 13 inside the first gear 12, the cross-shaped locking block at its bottom drives the first gear 12 to rotate through the sliding groove 13. Then the threaded rod 16 moves toward the inside of the moving block 11. At this time, the cross-shaped locking block slides inside the sliding groove 13, thereby preventing the first gear 12 from moving.

[0050] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 As shown, the sealing assembly 19 includes an air outlet 1901 opened on the outer wall of the outer casing 1. A toothed baffle 1902 and a second gear 1903 are movably connected inside the outer casing 1. The toothed baffle 1902 meshes with the second gear 1903. In the initial state, the toothed baffle 1902 seals the air outlet 1901. A handle 1904 is fixedly connected to the middle of the second gear 1903. The handle 1904 penetrates the outer wall of the outer casing 1 and extends to the outside of the outer casing 1.

[0051] The above solution is adopted: the toothed baffle 1902 seals the air outlet 1901 in the initial state. Its function is to effectively prevent external foreign objects and dust from entering the interior of the outer casing 1 through the air outlet 1901, thereby protecting the normal operation and service life of the components inside the outer casing 1.

[0052] Working principle and usage process of this invention:

[0053] The operator puts the feed into the storage box 4 through the feeding funnel 2, starts the first motor 3 and the second motor 5. While the second motor 5 is running, it drives the push rod 6 to rotate. Then, the feed is clamped in the middle of the thread and moves along the thread direction of the push rod 6. Finally, the feed is pushed to the mold plate 7. Then, the feed is squeezed and shaped by the push rod 6 through the mold plate 7.

[0054] While the first motor 3 is running, it drives the cylindrical cam 801 to rotate, so that the protrusion on the second toothed plate 15 slides along the trajectory of the first guide groove 802. Then, the second toothed plate 15 drives the moving block 11 to slide up and down on the slide rail 10. As the moving block 11 moves down, it drives the cutter 17 at its bottom to move down. Then the cutter 17 cuts the feed formed at the mold plate 7. The cut feed falls into the drawer 18 under its own gravity.

[0055] When the required feed volume is large, the door panel 20 is easily opened, and then the threaded rod 16 is rotated. As the threaded rod 16 rotates, it drives the first gear 12 to rotate through the cooperation of the cross block and the slide groove 13. Then the first gear 12 drives the first toothed plate 14 and the second toothed plate 15 to move towards each other, thereby disengaging the protrusion on the second toothed plate 15 from the first guide groove 802. As the first toothed plate 14 moves, the protrusion on it gets into the interior of the second guide groove 803. Then, through the rotation of the cylindrical cam 801, the protrusion slides up and down inside the second guide groove 803, which in turn drives the cutter 17 to move down through the moving block 11. Then the descending frequency of the cutter 17 decreases, thereby increasing the volume of the cut feed.

[0056] As the cylindrical cam 801 rotates, it drives the fan 9 at its bottom to rotate as well. Then, the operator rotates the handle 1904, which drives the second gear 1903 to rotate counterclockwise. As the second gear 1903 rotates, it drives the toothed baffle 1902 to move away from the air outlet 1901. Then, the toothed baffle 1902 releases the seal on the air outlet 1901, allowing the hot air inside the outer box 1 to be discharged through the air outlet 1901. At the same time, external air enters the interior of the outer box 1 through the air outlet 1901, thereby accelerating the air circulation inside the outer box 1 and thus speeding up the cooling of the feed, which is convenient for shaping the feed.
