The water pump 21 is located on the top of the main body 1 of the feeding device, on the side away from the feed hopper 2, for providing cleaning water. The connecting pipe 22 connects the output end of the water pump 21 and the annular water pipe 23. The annular water pipe 23 is installed at the inner top of the main body 1 of the feeding device, and the nozzle 24 is located on the outer side of the bottom of the annular water pipe 23 for spraying cleaning water.

[0026] In some alternative specific embodiments, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, the stirring blade assembly includes: a fixed rod 31 symmetrically arranged around the stirring shaft 11; a scraper 32 fixed on one side of the fixed rod 31; a movable blade 33 rotatably connected to the outer periphery of the fixed rod 31. The stirring blade assembly is composed of the fixed rod 31, the scraper 32 and the movable blade 33, and is used to effectively stir and mix the thickener.

[0027] In some optional specific embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a limit block 41 is provided at the contact part between the bottom of the stirring shaft 11 and the stirring barrel. The stirring shaft 11 is rotatably connected to the limit block 41. The stirring shaft 11 penetrates the top wall of the feeding device body 1 and is rotatably connected to the feeding device body 1. The limit block 41 is installed at the bottom of the stirring shaft 11 and contacts the stirring barrel to ensure the stable rotation of the stirring shaft 11.

[0028] In some optional specific embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a discharge pipe 51 is provided on one side of the bottom of the feeding device body 1; a control valve 52 is fixed on one side of the discharge pipe 51.

The rotation of the stirring shaft 11 drives the stirring blade assembly including the fixed rod 31, the scraper 32, the movable blade 33, and the spiral blade 13 to work together to fully stir and mix the thickener. The design of the stirring blade assembly makes the stirring process more uniform and effective, while the spiral blade 13 may help the thickener flow and mix better in the stirring barrel. Then, when the device needs to be cleaned, start the water pump 21. The water pump supplies water to the annular water pipe 23 through the connecting pipe 22. The water in the annular water pipe 23 is sprayed into the interior of the main body 1 of the feeding device through the spray head 24 to clean the stirring barrel, the stirring shaft 11, and other related components. After the cleaning is completed, the water pump 21 and the control valve 52 can be closed to let the device dry naturally or use other methods for drying. Then, when the thickener stirring is completed, open the control valve 52, and the thickener is discharged through the discharge pipe 51. The opening degree of the control valve 52 can be adjusted according to actual needs to control the discharge speed and flow rate of the thickener. Finally, after completing all operations such as feeding, stirring, cleaning, and discharging, turn off the power supply of the control motor 12 and other related equipment, clean the site, and ensure the cleanliness around the device for the next use.
