[0017] Embodiment 1 A replenishment device for straw feed, comprising a replenishment hopper 1, a material transport vehicle 2 located at the front end of the replenishment hopper 1, and a track 4 arranged in front of the roughage bin 3 which is discharged side by side; an auger 5 is installed in the material transport vehicle 2, and a discharge port 50 corresponding to the replenishment hopper 1 is arranged at the bottom of the rear end of the material transport vehicle 2; during replenishment, the rear end of the material transport vehicle 2 is located above the front end of the replenishment hopper 1, the feed in the material transport vehicle 2 can be conveyed to the discharge port 50 through the arranged auger 5, and finally discharged into the replenishment hopper 1; the front end surface A of the replenishment hopper 1 is arranged obliquely to ensure that the feed discharged through the discharge port 50 falls smoothly into the replenishment hopper 1.

[0018] The front end of the replenishment hopper 1 is provided with a roller 01, which supports the front end of the replenishment hopper 1 and ensures the stability of the movement of the replenishment hopper 1. The bottom side of the replenishment hopper 1 is provided with an air compressor 7 through a mounting frame 6. The bottom of the mounting frame 6 is provided with a moving wheel 9 matched with the track 4 through a connecting frame 8. The moving wheel 9 is driven to move along the track 4 by the air compressor 7. The rear end part B of the replenishment hopper 1 above the roughage bin 3 is in a hollow shape. A chain 12 is installed in the replenishment hopper 1 through a driving shaft 10 and a compression roller 11. The driving shaft 10 is driven by a motor installed outside the replenishment hopper 1. The motor is not shown in the figure. A plurality of scrapers 13 are installed on the chain 12 and contact the bottom of the replenishment hopper 1. The feed falling into the replenishment hopper 1 is conveyed to the hollow part of the rear end part of the replenishment hopper 1 by the scrapers 13 when the chain 12 is driven to move, and finally falls into the replenishment hopper 1 from the hollow part, Figure 2 The arrow shown in the figure indicates the direction of rotation of the chain 12. When the replenishment hopper 1 is used to replenish the feed, the feed is first filled from the tail of the roughage bin 3. When the feed in the tail of the roughage bin 3 is flush with the hollow discharge port of the replenishment hopper 1, the feed is conveyed to the front end of the roughage bin 3 along the conveying direction of the scrapers 13, and a large area of the feed is added to the roughage bin 3, thereby improving the feed coverage rate of the roughage bin 3. The use of the replenishment device reduces the distance of the straw feed conveying, and the feed is replenished while being unloaded, thereby improving the replenishment efficiency.

[0019] Dust hoods 14 are installed on both sides of the replenishment hopper 1. The dust hoods 14 completely wrap the replenishment hopper 1. A dust remover 15 is arranged on the top of the dust hood 14. The dust remover 15 is a pulse type dust remover. A fan 16 is installed on one side of the dust remover 15, and the other side is communicated with the dust hood 14 through a dust removal pipeline 17. During the replenishment process, the fan 16 forms a negative pressure in the dust hood 14, and the dust generated during the replenishment process is sucked into the pulse type dust remover. The dust and air are separated in the dust removal device in the pulse type dust remover. The collected dust is shaken into the roughage bin 3 by pulse vibration, thereby avoiding the pollution of dust diffusion to the environment and the waste of feed.

[0020] Example 2 Based on the embodiments, a straw feed replenishment device is provided. The replenishment hopper 1 includes a high-level horizontal section 18, an inclined section 19, and a low-level horizontal section 20. The high-level horizontal section 18 is located above the roughage bin 3 and has a hollow bottom. An air compressor 7 is located on the bottom side of the inclined section 19. The discharge port 50 at the rear end of the replenishment hopper 1 is located above the low-level horizontal section 20. A roller 01 is installed at the front bottom of the low-level horizontal section 20. The replenishment hopper 1 has a Z-shaped structure, and the low-level horizontal section 20 is close to the ground. The transport vehicle 2 can unload material above the low-level horizontal section 20. The conveying method uses a chain 12 to drive a scraper 13, which scrapes the material in the replenishment hopper 1, lifts it, and transports it to the roughage bin 3.

[0021] The pressure roller 11 is installed at the connection between the high horizontal section 18 and the inclined section 19, and between the inclined section 19 and the low horizontal section 20. The pressure roller 11 presses and limits the chain 12 to ensure that the chain 12 runs along the set path.

[0022] Based on Example 1, in order to improve dust removal efficiency, a straw feed replenishment device can preferably extend the dust removal hood 14 to the rear end of the feed truck 2.

[0023] Based on Example 1, a straw feed replenishment device is provided, and in order to ensure the feed conveying effect and efficiency, each scraper 13 can preferably be set at an angle.

[0024] Based on Example 1, in order to facilitate the observation of the material conveying situation in the replenishment hopper 1, the dust cover 14 of a straw feed replenishment device can preferably be set as a transparent cover.

[0025] The present invention provides a straw feed replenishment device, comprising a replenishment hopper 1, a conveyor 2 located at the front end of the replenishment hopper 1, and a track 4 set in front of the parallel-arranged roughage bins 3; the conveyor 2 is equipped with a spiral auger 5 and has a discharge port 50 corresponding to the replenishment hopper 1 at its rear bottom; an air compressor 7 is mounted on the bottom side of the replenishment hopper 1 via a mounting frame 6, and the bottom of the mounting frame 6 is equipped with movable wheels 9 that cooperate with the track 4 via a connecting frame 8. In use, the replenishment device can be moved to the front of the corresponding roughage bin 3 by the cooperation of the air compressor 7, the movable wheels 9, and the rollers 01; the replenishment hopper The rear section above the roughage bin 3 is hollow. A chain 12 is installed inside the replenishment hopper 1 via a drive shaft 10 and a pressure roller 11. Multiple scrapers 13 are installed on the chain 12 and contact the bottom of the replenishment hopper 1. The operation of the auger 5 and the chain 12 is controlled so that the feed in the transport vehicle 2 is lowered into the replenishment hopper 1 through the discharge port 50. The scrapers 13 then replenish the roughage bin 3. The coordinated arrangement of the scrapers 13 and the replenishment hopper 1 allows the feed in the roughage bin 3 to be replenished sequentially from the rear to the front, and it can prevent the feed from falling onto the channel, causing feed waste and environmental pollution. Dust hoods 14 are installed on both sides of the replenishment hopper 1. A dust collector 15 is installed on the top of the dust hood 14. A fan 16 is installed on one side of the dust collector 15 and the other side is connected to the dust hood 14 through a dust removal pipe 17. At the same time, the combined use of the dust hood 14, the dust collector 15 and the fan 16 can effectively reduce dust during replenishment operations and further avoid environmental pollution.

[0026] Example 3 The foregoing has described in detail an embodiment of a straw feed replenishment device. Based on the straw feed replenishment device described in the above embodiment, this invention also provides a control system for the replenishment device corresponding to the device. Since the embodiments of the system part correspond to the embodiments of the device part, please refer to the description of the embodiments of the device part for the embodiments of the system part, and will not be repeated here.

[0027] A control system for a replenishment device, based on a straw feed replenishment device provided in any of the above embodiments, includes: The system includes a central controller 21, an coded cable 22 laid on the track 4, and a reading head 23 installed on the bottom side of the mounting frame 6. The reading head 23 is matched and corresponds to the coded cable 22, and the central controller 21 is communicatively connected to the reading head 23. The central controller 21 is used to control the movement of the replenishment hopper 1 according to the user input command until it is determined that the code fed back by the reading head 23 is consistent with the bin number corresponding to the input command. Then, it controls the replenishment hopper 1 to stop moving and controls the chain 12 to drive the scraper 13 to replenish the current coarse feed bin 3. The central controller 21 stores a code-bin number lookup table. During actual operation, each roughage bin 3 is marked with a bin number, and the corresponding code is printed on the coding cable 22. The code on the coding cable 22 for each roughage bin 3 is fixed. The reading head 23 can be a PEPPERL+FUCHS model.

[0028] The present invention provides a control system for a replenishment device, which can realize the automatic correspondence between the replenishment device and the roughage bin 3, improve the degree of automation, reduce labor costs, and improve replenishment efficiency.

[0029] Example 4 A control method for a replenishment device, based on the aforementioned control system for a replenishment device, includes the following steps: S101: Receive user input commands; S102: Controls the movement of the replenishment hopper 1 according to the input command, and receives the encoding of the encoding cable 22 fed back by the reading head 23; S103: Determine whether the warehouse number and code corresponding to the input command are consistent; if yes, proceed to step S104; otherwise, proceed to step S105.

[0030] S104: Control the chain 12 to drive the scraper 13 to replenish the current roughage bin 3; S105: Return to the encoding steps of the encoding cable 22 fed back by the receiving read head 23.

[0031] Specifically, the reading head 23 reads the code on the coded cable 22 in real time. The central controller 21 (PLC) stores a code-to-warehouse number lookup table (e.g., code 12500 corresponds to the center point of warehouse 3). When the central controller 21 commands the trolley to go to warehouse 3, it calculates the target code position (12500) and directs the trolley to move until the code fed back by the reading head 23 matches code 12500, at which point it stops moving.

[0032] The present invention provides a control method for a replenishment device, which can realize the automatic correspondence between the replenishment device and the roughage bin 3, improve the degree of automation, reduce labor costs, and improve replenishment efficiency.
