[0038] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 6 The feed conveying structure of a livestock transport ship according to an embodiment of the utility model is described.

[0039] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the feed conveying structure of the livestock transport ship is mainly arranged in a ship used for transporting livestock, and includes a deck platform 100 , a forage hopper 200 , a feed conveying mechanism 300 and a discharge port switch structure 400 .

[0040] Specifically, the deck platforms 100 are arranged in layers from top to bottom in the ship, and the deck platforms 100 are used to load livestock. The deck platforms 100 are arranged vertically in the ship, and each layer of the deck platforms 100 is arranged in parallel.

[0041] The forage feed hopper 200 is arranged on the main deck of the ship, above the deck platform 100. That is, the forage feed hopper 200 is installed on the main deck of the ship. The feed conveying mechanism 300 includes a feed conveying pipe 310 and a feed distribution pipe 320. The feed conveying pipe 310 extends vertically downward from the bottom of the forage feed hopper 200. The feed conveying pipe 310 is provided with a feed distribution pipe 320 corresponding to each deck platform 100. The discharge port switch structure 400 is arranged at the pipe mouth of the feed distribution pipe 320, and the discharge port switch structure 400 is used to control the opening and closing of the feed powder pipe.

[0042] The deck platform 100 is connected to the inner wall of the ship on both sides, and the feed delivery pipe 310 is arranged vertically and connected to the ship structure to form a column structure for supporting the deck platform 100. The deck platform 100 and the feed delivery pipe 310 form a vertical and horizontal support structure, which effectively enhances the strength of the main structure of the ship. It reduces the impact of the feed delivery layout on the ship layout, and at the same time increases the cattle pen loading area in the cargo hold area, and increases the number of livestock transported.

[0043] Compared with the existing feed system with complex conveying pipelines, the feed conveying mechanism 300 of this embodiment adopts a vertical layout structure, uses gravity to realize feed transportation, and then distributes it to the designated position of each deck platform 100 through the inclined feed distribution pipe 320.

[0044] The feed conveying mechanism 300 adopts a simple gravity structure, which is convenient for construction, reduces construction costs, and effectively supports the hull deck, increases the fatigue strength of the ship structure, reduces the feed conveying operation process, and improves the feed conveying efficiency.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a lower baffle plate 330 is provided on one side of the bottom feed distribution pipe 320 of the feed conveying pipe 310. The lower baffle plate 330 is provided in the feed conveying pipe 310, and the lower baffle plate 330 and the feed distribution pipe 320 have the same inclination direction.

[0046] Specifically, the feed conveying mechanism 300 is vertically designed and distributed between the deck platforms 100, until the lower material baffle plate 330 is located. The feed is vertically conveyed by the feed conveying mechanism 300, that is, the gravity structure form, and the feed is distributed to each deck platform 100 by its own weight through the vertical conveying system. The vertical conveying system ensures that the feed does not gather during the conveying process and affect the conveying effect.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the interval between each deck platform 100 is 2.5m to 3.0m. Specifically, the heights of each deck platform 100 from bottom to top are a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, and so on, and the height value is designed to be 2.5 to 3m. Each deck platform 100 can be loaded with live animals. During the transportation of live animals at sea, fodder needs to be provided, which needs to be transported by a feed conveying system and fed to the live animal locations on each deck platform 100.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple groups of forage feed hoppers 200, which are arranged side by side on the main deck of the ship, and each group of forage feed hoppers 200 is provided with a feed conveying mechanism 300, and each feed conveying mechanism 300 is arranged in parallel. Specifically, multiple groups of feed conveying pipes 310 are provided, so that the feed can be evenly conveyed to various areas of the deck platform 100, ensuring that the feed is evenly distributed on the single-layer deck platform 100, and avoiding concentrated feeding of livestock to affect the center of gravity of the ship.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the feed conveying pipe 310 adopts a box-shaped structure with a square cross section. The length of the feed conveying pipe 310 is 0.5m to 1.5m, and the width of the feed conveying pipe 310 is 0.5m to 1.5m.

[0050] Specifically, the feed conveying pipe 310 adopts a box-type structure and is made of steel plates, and the material is Class A steel of the classification society.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the feed distribution pipe 320 adopts a steel pipe structure, and the cross-sectional diameter of the feed distribution pipe 320 is 0.3m to 0.5m.

[0052] Specifically, the feed distribution pipe 320 is arranged obliquely and connected to the feed conveying pipe 310 to achieve the purpose of discharging feed from each deck platform 100. The feed conveying pipe 310 is made of Class A steel of the classification society, with a diameter R, and the R value is designed to be 0.3m to 0.5m.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the mouth of the feed distribution pipe 320 is provided with a mounting groove 321, and the discharge port switch structure 400 is arranged in the mounting groove 321. Specifically, the discharge port switch structure 400 is designed at the outlet of the feed distribution pipe 320, and through the switch closing operation of the discharge port switch structure 400, the feed delivery can be directly controlled by the opening and closing state of the discharge port switch structure 400.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 6As shown, the discharge port switch structure 400 includes an integrally formed discharge port switch plate 410, a discharge port switch handle 420, and a discharge port switch fixing ear plate 430. The discharge port switch plate 410 is detachably connected to the mounting slot 321, and the discharge port switch handle 420 is used to control the position of the discharge port switch plate 410. The discharge port switch fixing ear plate 430 is connected to the feed distribution pipe 320 through a discharge port switch fixing pin 440, and the discharge port switch plate 410 rotates around the discharge port switch fixing pin 440 to control the pipe mouth flow of the feed distribution pipe 320.

[0055] Specifically, the material of the discharge port switch structure 400 is Class A steel of the classification society, and the discharge port switch plate 410 is installed at the outlet position of the feed distribution pipe 320 through the discharge port switch fixing pin 440. The discharge port switch plate 410 controls the size of the discharge port through the active rotation of the pin, thereby controlling the discharge flow of the feed and controlling the closure of the feed switch.
