AI Technical Summary
In traditional mixing bins, feed accumulates at the feed inlet, forming a cone-shaped waterfall. This results in severe localized accumulation within the bin, leading to low mixing efficiency. Furthermore, existing spraying mechanisms have limited spraying range and require the mixing blades to forcefully push the feed, increasing energy consumption.
Design a feed mixing bin that uses a sliding main shaft and a rotating plate combined with a spraying mechanism. The spraying plate is wave-shaped and combined with an arc-shaped guide rail and a straight track to achieve fan-shaped spreading and wide coverage of the feed, avoiding accumulation and dead corners.
This technology enables feed to be evenly distributed before mixing, shortens mixing time, reduces mixing load and energy consumption, and solves the problems of uneven mixing and high energy consumption in traditional equipment.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of feed processing equipment, and in particular to a feed mixing bin for spreading. Background Technology
[0002] A feed mixer is a specialized piece of equipment used in livestock farming and feed production. Its core purpose is to uniformly mix various types of feed ingredients—including energy feeds (such as corn and barley), protein feeds (such as soybean meal and fishmeal), minerals, vitamins, and various additives—according to a preset scientific formula. Through the pushing, turning, and shearing forces generated by mechanical motion, the equipment can eliminate the differences in composition between materials in a short time, ensuring the production of a well-mixed compound feed. This guarantees that animals can ingest comprehensive and balanced nutrition, improves feed conversion rate, and avoids the farming risks caused by uneven feeding.
[0003] However, existing equipment often encounters the following problems during use:
[0004] (1) After the feed is poured into the traditional mixing bin, it often piles up directly below the feed inlet, forming a cone-shaped waterfall surface. This prevents the feed from spreading to the far corners of the bin, resulting in severe local accumulation and empty areas in other areas. This uneven distribution will directly lead to low mixing efficiency during subsequent mixing, forced to extend the mixing time, and easy to create mixing dead corners.
[0005] (2) Most existing sprinkling mechanisms adopt a fixed axis rotating paddle design. Its sprinkling trajectory is a single repeating arc. The sprinkling range is limited to the rotation radius of the paddle, which cannot effectively push the feed to the far end of the bin. This results in uneven distribution of feed in the bin. During subsequent stirring, the stirring blades are required to push the feed, which increases the stirring load and energy consumption. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide a feed mixing bin for spreading, and this invention solves at least one of the aforementioned problems to a certain extent.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0008] A feed mixing bin for spreading, comprising:
[0009] Cabin;
[0010] An auxiliary compartment is located on one side of the engine bay, and the auxiliary compartment has an internal accommodating space.
[0011] A rotating wheel, which is movably housed within the receiving space of the additional compartment;
[0012] A cam rail is provided on one side of the rotating shaft wheel;
[0013] A deflection link, one end of which is slidably connected to the cam rail, and the deflection end of which is movably connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary compartment;
[0014] A force-applying link, one end of which is connected to the other end of the deflection link;
[0015] A sliding member is mounted on the other end of the force-applying connecting rod;
[0016] A flip plate, which is slidably sleeved with the sliding member.
[0017] include:
[0018] A flipping shaft, which passes through the bottom end of the flipping plate;
[0019] A spraying rod, one end of which is sleeved with the un-penetrated end of the flipping shaft;
[0020] A spraying plate, one side of which is fixedly connected to the other end of the spraying rod;
[0021] An extension plate, one end of which is connected to the through end of the flipping shaft;
[0022] The main shaft is movably connected at one end to the other end of the extension plate.
[0023] include:
[0024] A fastener, said fastener being installed on the inner wall of the additional compartment;
[0025] A linear rail, which is provided on the fixing member;
[0026] A roller is mounted on the other end of the main shaft and is slidably connected to the linear rail.
[0027] A guide rail, one side of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary compartment;
[0028] A drive motor is mounted on one side of the auxiliary compartment, and the output end of the drive motor is connected to the rotating shaft wheel.
[0029] The cam rail includes a convex rail and a concave rail. The convex rail is an arc-shaped rail, and the convex rail and the concave rail are connected to form a closed track.
[0030] The top surface of the spraying plate is wavy.
[0031] The spray bar and spray plate are located inside the machine compartment.
[0032] The guide rail is an arc-shaped rail.
[0033] The top of the flip plate is located within the arc-shaped area of the guide rail.
[0034] The spraying plate and the spraying rod are in a vertical position.
[0035] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0036] (1) To address the problem of feed accumulating at the discharge port in traditional mixing bins, forming a conical waterfall surface, this application designs a system where the swing center of the spraying rod is set as a main shaft that can slide along a straight track, and an arc-shaped guide rail is added to the top of the tilting plate for composite constraint. This allows the spraying plate to not only rotate around the main shaft when it is lifted, but also to move laterally synchronously with the main shaft, thus forming a wider fan-shaped spraying trajectory. At the same time, the top surface of the spraying plate adopts a wave-shaped structure, which disperses the feed by utilizing the crests and troughs when it is tilted upwards. These two designs work together to force the feed to be scattered into the depth of the bin in a dispersed state, avoiding the problem of feed accumulating only below the discharge port from the source. This allows the material in the bin to achieve a preliminary uniform distribution before mixing, thereby shortening the subsequent mixing time and eliminating mixing dead zones.
[0037] (2) To address the problem of narrow spraying range caused by the fixed rotation of the existing spraying mechanism, this application design abandons the structure with the rotating shaft as the fixed rotation center, and instead adopts a transmission method that combines the sliding of the main shaft and the rotation of the rotating plate. When the cam rail drives the turning link, the force link pulls the rotating plate, and the rotating shaft at the bottom of the rotating plate drags the main shaft back and forth on the straight rail, so that the swing fulcrum of the spraying rod changes continuously. This variable fulcrum fan-shaped motion allows the spraying plate to cover a continuous area from near to far, effectively pushing the feed to the far corner of the bin, solving the limitation of the traditional paddle that can only spray within a fixed radius, eliminating the need for subsequent stirring blades to forcibly push the feed, and significantly reducing the stirring load and equipment energy consumption.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0046] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a feed mixing bin, which includes a machine compartment 1, an auxiliary compartment 2, a rotating wheel 3, a cam rail 4, a turning link 5, a force-applying link 6, a sliding member 7, a tilting plate 8, and a tilting shaft 9.
[0047] The auxiliary compartment 2 is located on one side of the machine compartment 1; and the interior of the auxiliary compartment 2 has a storage space for accommodating the drive and transmission components, isolating them from the main mixing chamber to prevent feed dust from affecting the operation of the machine; the rotating wheel 3 is movably built into the storage space of the auxiliary compartment 2, serving as the core of the power input for the entire sprinkling mechanism, and outputting driving force through rotation; the cam rail 4 is located on one side of the rotating wheel 3, used to convert the rotational motion of the rotating wheel 3 into a specific reciprocating motion trajectory, thereby controlling the periodic action of the subsequent components; one end of the deflecting link 5 is slidably connected to the cam rail 4, and the deflecting end of the deflecting link 5 is movably connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary compartment 2. The deflecting link 5 serves as a transmission hub, converting the trajectory change of the cam rail 4 into the swing of the link itself, thereby realizing the conversion of the direction of motion;
[0048] In this invention, one end of the force-applying link 6 is connected to the other end of the deflection link 5, which is used to transmit the swing force of the deflection link 5 to the actuating component behind it, thus playing the role of force extension and transmission. The sliding member 7 is installed at the other end of the force-applying link 6, which is used to convert the push and pull force of the link into sliding action to adapt to the movement requirements of the flip plate 8. The flip plate 8 and the sliding member 7 are slidably connected. The flip plate 8 serves as an intermediate transmission component, receiving the power of the sliding member 7 and transmitting the movement to the spraying mechanism below.
[0049] In this invention, the flipping shaft 9 passes through the bottom end of the flipping plate 8, and is used to convert the movement of the flipping plate 8 into its own sliding and rotation, realizing multi-dimensional power transmission. One end of the spraying rod 10 is sleeved with the non-passing end of the flipping shaft 9, and is used to convert the movement of the flipping shaft 9 into the swing of the spraying rod 10, thereby driving the spraying plate 11 to perform a spraying action. One side of the spraying plate 11 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spraying rod 10. The spraying plate 11 and the spraying rod 10 are in a vertical position relationship. This vertical layout can maximize the agitation area of the spraying plate 11 and ensure that the feed is effectively scattered. One end of the extension plate 12 is connected to the passing end of the flipping shaft 9, and is used to extend the force arm of the flipping shaft 9 and transmit the movement of the flipping shaft 9 to the rear guide mechanism. One end of the main shaft 13 is movably connected to the other end of the extension plate 12. The main shaft 13 serves as a movable fulcrum and cooperates with the roller 16 to guide the movement trajectory of the entire spraying assembly.
[0050] This invention does not use the flipping shaft 9 as the central axis of rotation, but instead uses the main shaft 13 as the moving central axis. This is to ensure that the swing trajectory of the sprinkling rod 10 is not limited to a fixed arc centered on the flipping shaft 9. Instead, the main shaft 13 slides on the straight rail 15 and is constrained by the arc-shaped guide rail 17 at the top of the flipping plate 8. This allows the main shaft 13, the swing center of the sprinkling rod 10, to move synchronously during the lifting process, thus forming a composite fan-shaped motion trajectory. This allows the sprinkling plate 11 to generate lateral displacement changes while flipping upwards, thereby scattering the feed in a wider and more dispersed fan shape. This avoids the problems of concentrated sprinkling range and dead corners caused by single-axis rotation, and truly achieves rapid and uniform filling of feed in the machine compartment 1.
[0051] In this invention, the fixing member 14 is installed on the inner wall of the auxiliary compartment 2 to provide a stable installation base for the linear rail 15 and ensure the stability of the guiding mechanism. The linear rail 15 is opened on the fixing member 14 to constrain the movement path of the roller 16 and ensure that the reciprocating motion of the spraying component remains in a straight direction. The roller 16 is installed at one end of the main shaft 13 and is slidably connected to the linear rail 15. The roller 16 reduces the frictional resistance when the main shaft 13 moves, making the movement smoother. The guide rail 17 is an arc-shaped rail. The top of the flip plate 8 is located within the arc range of the guide rail 17. One side of the guide rail 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary compartment 2. The arc-shaped guide rail 17 is used to limit the swing amplitude of the top of the flip plate 8 and ensure that the flip plate 8 moves within the preset fan-shaped trajectory. The drive motor 18 is installed on one side of the auxiliary compartment 2 and the output end of the drive motor 18 is connected to the rotating wheel 3. The motor provides a continuous and stable power source for the entire mechanism.
[0052] In this invention, the top surface of the spray plate 11 is wavy; this wavy design can disperse the feed raw materials along the crests and troughs when the spray plate 11 is flipped upwards, preventing the feed from falling in clumps and achieving a more uniform spreading effect; the cam rail 4 includes a convex rail 41 and a concave rail 42, the convex rail 41 is an arc-shaped rail, and the convex rail 41 and the concave rail 42 are connected to form a closed track; this closed concave and convex rail 41 design ensures that for every one rotation of the rotating shaft wheel 3, the turning linkage 5 completes one push-pull cycle, thereby driving the spray rod 10 to complete one lifting and resetting action; the spray rod 10 and the spray plate 11 are located inside the machine compartment 1; ensuring that the spraying action is carried out directly in the feed raw material accumulation area, avoiding material splashing.
[0053] It should be noted that, in the feed mixing bin designed in this invention, when the feed raw materials are poured into the machine chamber 1, the drive motor 18 starts, and the rotating shaft wheel 3 rotates, causing the cam rail 4 to be driven along with it. During the rotation of the cam rail 4, the deflecting connecting rod 5, which is slidably connected to it, is also driven. When the convex rail 41, which is away from the central axis, contacts the sliding connection end of the deflecting connecting rod 5, the deflecting connecting rod 5 is pulled and rotates around the deflecting end. At this time, the force at the distal end of the convex rail 41 causes the deflecting connecting rod 5 to produce a large pulling stroke, corresponding to a significant lifting of the spraying rod 10. The rotation of the deflecting connecting rod 5 drives the force-applying connecting rod 6 to pull the rotating plate 8. The rotation of the rotating plate 8 will cause the rotating shaft 9 at its bottom end to slide, thereby dragging the extension plate 12 and the main shaft 13 to slide within the straight rail 15. The un-penetrated end of the rotating shaft 9 drives the spraying rod 10 to rotate upward around the main shaft 13. The flipping of the spraying rod 10 follows a fan-shaped trajectory, causing the spraying plate 11 to flip upwards as well. The flipped spraying plate 11 disperses the poured feed with a wave-shaped top surface. This fan-shaped trajectory can cover a wider spraying range, ensuring that the feed is scattered to every corner of the machine compartment 1. When the concave rail 42 near the central axis of the rotating wheel 3 contacts the sliding connection end of the turning link 5, the turning link 5 is pushed back and flipped around the turning end. At this time, the force at the proximal end of the concave rail 42 resets the turning link 5, causing the spraying rod 10 to fall. The flipping of the turning link 5 drives the force-applying link 6 to push the flipping plate 8, reversing the above process. Finally, the spraying rod 10 is pushed downwards and reset, causing the drive motor 18 to rotate continuously, making the spraying rod 10 continuously reciprocate, scattering the feed feed far away, so that the feed can quickly fill the entire machine compartment 1, facilitating subsequent mixing.
