Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of animal husbandry, and in particular to a device for mixing and stirring animal feed. Background Art

[0002] In the livestock breeding industry, uniform mixing of feed is crucial for animal nutrition absorption, healthy growth and production efficiency. At present, a kind of livestock feed mixing and stirring device widely used in the market mainly designs a horizontal feed box fixed on a bracket, and a spiral rod driven by a motor is arranged inside the feed box. The spiral blades arranged symmetrically on the spiral rod rotate under the drive of the motor, and through its unique spiral structure, the feed located in various parts of the feed box is gradually pushed to the central area, thereby achieving the mixing and stirring of the feed.

[0003] In actual application, since the feed box is horizontally arranged and fixedly mounted on a bracket, when the mixed feed needs to be discharged, the natural flow of the feed is restricted by the direction of gravity, resulting in a poor discharge process. This not only prolongs the time for feed discharge, but may also cause mildew due to the retention of feed in the feed box, affecting the feed quality. Secondly, due to the limitations of the feed box structure and the dead corners that may be formed during the feed mixing process, some feed is difficult to be completely discharged. Long-term accumulation not only causes feed waste, but may also become a breeding ground for bacteria, posing a potential threat to the subsequent feed mixing quality.

[0004] Therefore, the present application provides a livestock feed mixing and stirring device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present application provides a livestock feed mixing and stirring device, which aims to solve the problem proposed in the background technology that the existing feed box adopts a horizontal layout and is fixedly installed on a bracket. When the mixed feed needs to be discharged, the natural flow of the feed is restricted by the direction of gravity, resulting in a poor discharge process. This not only prolongs the feed discharge time, but may also cause mildew due to the retention of feed in the feed box, affecting the feed quality and other problems.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions: a livestock feed mixing and stirring device, comprising a bracket, a feed box arranged on the bracket, a screw rod rotatably inserted in the feed box, a drive motor arranged on the feed box for driving the screw rod to rotate, and an angle adjustment structure arranged on the bracket for adjusting the inclination angle of the feed box; wherein, a feeding port is provided at one end of the feed box away from the bracket, and a discharge valve is fixedly plugged into and connected to one end of the feed box away from the drive motor.

[0007] Different from the existing livestock feed mixing and stirring device: To facilitate the discharge of the feed inside the feed box, the angle adjustment structure includes support rods symmetrically hinged to one end of the feed box away from the drive motor and fixedly connected to the support, and a hydraulic cylinder hinged to the support for driving the feed box to rotate around the hinge axis of the support rod. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to one end of the feed box close to the drive motor. When it is necessary to discharge the feed, start the hydraulic cylinder to extend its output end, driving one end of the feed box to rotate around the hinge axis of the support rod, tilting the feed box to an appropriate angle. At this time, open the discharge valve, and the feed quickly and thoroughly discharges through the discharge valve under the action of gravity. After the discharge is completed, the hydraulic cylinder moves in the reverse direction to reset the feed box to the initial state, preparing for the next mixing operation.

[0008] Preferably, to facilitate the support and positioning of one end of the feed box close to the drive motor, fixing plates are symmetrically and fixedly connected to one end of the feed box close to the drive motor, and positioning rods corresponding to the fixing plates are fixedly connected to the support. The cooperation of the fixing plates and the positioning rods provides an additional support point for the feed box, significantly enhancing its stability during operation and reducing problems such as uneven mixing or poor discharge caused by shaking or deviation.

[0009] Preferably, to prevent the feed box from driving the fixing plate to move and reset when the hydraulic cylinder drives the feed box to reset, resulting in a collision between the fixing plate and the positioning rod, a buffer pad for buffering the fixing plate is provided on the positioning rod. The addition of the buffer pad significantly reduces the impact noise that may be generated between the fixing plate and the positioning rod during the reset process, improving the comfort of the working environment. By absorbing the impact energy, the buffer pad effectively protects the surfaces of the fixing plate and the positioning rod, reducing wear and scratches caused by the impact and extending the service life of the components.

[0010] Preferably, to facilitate the movement of the mixing device, moving wheels are fixedly installed at the four corners of the end of the support away from the feed box. The moving wheels are respectively fixed casters for linear movement and movable casters with a 306° selection drill. The addition of the moving wheels makes the mixing device no longer restricted to a fixed position and can be freely moved according to actual needs, greatly improving the flexibility and efficiency of the work. The combined design of the fixed caster and the movable caster not only ensures the stability of the device during linear movement but also provides good steering ability, enabling the device to adapt to various complex working environments.

[0011] Preferably, for the convenience of installing the drive motor: One end of the feed bin close to the drive motor is fixedly connected with a support plate for installing the drive motor. The drive motor is fixedly installed on the support plate by bolts, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected with one end of the screw rod. The design of the support plate makes the installation process of the drive motor more simple and fast, reducing the installation difficulty and time cost. The support plate provides a solid support foundation for the drive motor, effectively preventing the motor from loosening or displacing due to vibration during operation, and ensuring the stable operation of the mixing device.

[0012] Through the angle adjustment structure of the present application, the feed bin can be tilted to an appropriate angle when discharging feed, and the gravity is used to accelerate the flow of feed, significantly improving the discharge efficiency and reducing the discharge time. The automatic control of the hydraulic cylinder makes the tilt adjustment process of the feed bin simple and fast, reducing the complexity and labor intensity of manual operation.

Detailed Description of the Embodiment

[0018] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0019] This embodiment provides a livestock feed mixing and stirring device, as Figures 1-3As shown, the stirring device includes a bracket 1, a feed bin 2 arranged on the bracket 1, a screw rod 3 rotatably inserted into the feed bin 2, a driving motor 4 arranged on the feed bin 2 for driving the screw rod 3 to rotate, and an angle adjustment structure 5 arranged on the bracket 1 for adjusting the inclination angle of the feed bin 2; wherein, an upper feeding port 21 is opened at one end of the feed bin 2 away from the bracket 1, and a discharge valve 22 is fixedly inserted and communicated at one end of the feed bin 2 away from the driving motor 4. When mixing the feed, first add the feed into the interior of the feed bin 2 through the upper feeding port 21. At this time, the discharge valve 22 is in a closed state. Then drive the screw rod 3 to rotate through the driving motor 4. Since the spiral blades on the screw rod 3 are symmetrically arranged, the spiral blades will gather the feed inside the feed bin 2 towards the middle during rotation, thereby achieving the purpose of mixing and stirring the feed. The design of the symmetric spiral blades of the screw rod 3, combined with the efficient drive of the driving motor 4, ensures that the feed is fully and evenly mixed in the feed bin 2, improving the feed quality.

[0020] Different from the existing livestock feed mixing and stirring devices: In order to facilitate the discharge of the feed inside the feed bin 2, the angle adjustment structure 5 includes a support rod 51 symmetrically hinged at one end of the feed bin 2 away from the driving motor 4 and fixedly connected to the bracket 1, and a hydraulic cylinder 52 hinged on the bracket 1 for driving the feed bin 2 to rotate around the hinge axis of the support rod 51. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 52 is hinged to one end of the feed bin 2 close to the driving motor 4. Through the angle adjustment structure 5, the feed bin 2 can be tilted to an appropriate angle when discharging the feed, and the gravity is used to accelerate the flow of the feed, significantly improving the discharge efficiency and reducing the discharge time. The automatic control of the hydraulic cylinder 52 makes the inclination adjustment process of the feed bin 2 simple and fast, reducing the complexity and labor intensity of manual operation. When it is necessary to discharge the feed, start the hydraulic cylinder 52 to extend its output end, driving one end of the feed bin 2 to rotate around the hinge axis of the support rod 51, so that the feed bin 2 is tilted to an appropriate angle. At this time, open the discharge valve 22, and the feed quickly and completely passes through the discharge valve 22 under the action of gravity. After the discharge is completed, the hydraulic cylinder 52 moves in the reverse direction to reset the feed bin 2 to the initial state, preparing for the next mixing operation.

[0021] Furthermore, to facilitate the support and positioning of one end of the feed bin 2 close to the drive motor 4: Fixed plates 6 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to one end of the feed bin 2 close to the drive motor 4, and positioning rods 7 corresponding to the fixed plates 6 are fixedly connected to the bracket 1. The cooperation between the fixed plate 6 and the positioning rod 7 provides an additional support point for the feed bin 2, significantly enhancing its stability during operation and reducing problems such as uneven mixing or poor discharge caused by shaking or deviation. During the mixing and stirring stage, the feed bin 2 is firmly installed on the bracket 1 through the close cooperation between the fixed plate 6 and the positioning rod 7. At this time, the drive motor 4 drives the screw rod 3 to rotate to achieve the mixing of the feed. When the feed needs to be discharged, the hydraulic cylinder 52 is activated to push the feed bin 2 to rotate around the hinge axis of the support rod 51 to an inclined state. As the feed bin 2 tilts, the feed smoothly discharges through the discharge valve 22 under the action of gravity. After the discharge is completed, the hydraulic cylinder 52 moves in the reverse direction, driving the feed bin 2 to reset to the initial state. At this time, the fixed plate 6 fits tightly with the positioning rod 7 again, preparing for the next mixing operation.

[0022] Even further, to prevent the feed bin 2 from driving the fixed plate 6 to move and reset when the hydraulic cylinder 52 drives the feed bin 2 to reset, resulting in an impact between the fixed plate 6 and the positioning rod 7: A buffer pad 71 for buffering the fixed plate 6 is provided on the positioning rod 7. Among them, the buffer pad 71 is made of a soft and elastic material such as rubber, silica gel, or polyurethane, which can effectively absorb the impact energy, reduce the impact force, and protect the fixed plate 6 and the positioning rod 7 from damage. The addition of the buffer pad 71 significantly reduces the impact noise that may be generated between the fixed plate 6 and the positioning rod 7 during the reset process, improving the comfort of the working environment. By absorbing the impact energy, the buffer pad 71 effectively protects the surfaces of the fixed plate 6 and the positioning rod 7, reducing wear and scratches caused by the impact and extending the service life of the components. The elastic effect of the buffer pad 71 can also slow down the reset speed of the feed bin 2 to a certain extent, making it return to the initial position more smoothly and further enhancing the overall stability of the device. During the process of the hydraulic cylinder 52 driving the feed bin 2 to reset, as the hydraulic cylinder 52 contracts, the feed bin 2 gradually returns to the initial vertical state. At this time, the fixed plate 6 also approaches the positioning rod 7 accordingly. When the fixed plate 6 is about to contact the positioning rod 7, the buffer pad 71 first comes into play. Through its soft and elastic material, it absorbs the impact energy, slows down the moving speed of the fixed plate 6, and reduces the impact force. Subsequently, the fixed plate 6 gently fits on the buffer pad 71 to complete the reset action. Throughout the process, the buffer pad 71 effectively prevents the direct impact between the fixed plate 6 and the positioning rod 7, protecting the components and reducing noise.

[0023] Furthermore, to facilitate the movement of the stirring device: At the four corners of the end of the bracket 1 away from the feed bin 2, moving wheels 8 are fixedly installed. The moving wheels 8 are respectively fixed casters for linear motion and movable casters for 360° rotation. The addition of the moving wheels 8 makes the stirring device no longer restricted to a fixed position and can be freely moved according to actual needs, greatly improving the flexibility and efficiency of work. By pushing or towing the device, the operator can easily move the device, avoiding the heavy physical labor that may be brought about by traditional handling methods and reducing the labor intensity and cost. The combined design of the fixed caster and the movable caster not only ensures the stability of the device during linear movement but also provides good steering ability, enabling the device to adapt to a variety of complex working environments. When it is necessary to move the stirring device, the operator can push or tow the device and utilize the rolling characteristics of the moving wheels 8 to easily move the device. During the linear movement process, the fixed casters play a major role in ensuring that the device moves forward stably along the predetermined direction; while when it is necessary to turn or adjust the position, the movable casters exert their flexibility, allowing the device to rotate and move at multiple angles while maintaining stability. Through such a design, the stirring device can freely shuttle between different working areas to meet diverse production requirements.

[0024] Specifically, to facilitate the installation of the driving motor 4: At the end of the feed bin 2 close to the driving motor 4, a support plate 41 for installing the driving motor 4 is fixedly connected. The driving motor 4 is fixedly installed on the support plate 41 by bolts, and the output end of the driving motor 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw rod 3. The design of the support plate 41 makes the installation process of the driving motor 4 simpler and faster, reducing the installation difficulty and time cost. The support plate 41 provides a solid support foundation for the driving motor 4, effectively preventing the motor from loosening or displacing due to vibration during operation and ensuring the stable operation of the stirring device. During the working process of the stirring device, the driving motor 4 is firmly installed on the feed bin 2 through the support plate 41. When the motor is started, its output end transmits power to the screw rod 3 through components such as a coupling. The screw rod 3 starts to rotate under the drive of the motor, and the spiral blades on it rotate accordingly and push the feed to move and mix in the feed bin 2. Since the spiral blades are symmetrically arranged and rotate in the same direction, they can effectively gather the feed towards the middle and mix it evenly. Throughout the process, the support plate 41 always provides stable support and fixation for the driving motor 4, ensuring that the stirring device can operate continuously and efficiently. When it is necessary to maintain or replace the driving motor 4, it can be easily removed from the support plate 41 by loosening the bolts, greatly simplifying the maintenance process.

[0025] As described above, it is only the preferred specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present application, according to the technical solution and its concept of the present application, making equivalent replacements or changes should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
