Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of animal husbandry, and particularly relates to a feed mixer suitable for the animal husbandry specialty. Background Art
[0002] A feed mixer is an important feed processing device, which is mainly used for uniformly mixing different feed raw materials and additives to meet the growth needs of animals and improve the feed quality.
[0003] After retrieval, the patent with the patent publication number CN220780044U discloses a feed mixing device. Although the device can stir water and feed powder during use and improve the uniformity when mixing water and feed powder, the device needs to pre-add water and feed powder into the device during use. When the feed powder and water are not evenly mixed, dust is easily generated during the stirring process. The dust not only pollutes the working environment and affects the health of operators, but also may cause waste and loss of feed. In addition, the dust may also affect the uniformity and quality of the feed. Since the device needs to pre-add water and feed powder into the device and ensure uniform mixing, this increases the complexity and time cost of operation. In large-scale production, this operation method may reduce the overall production efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a feed mixer suitable for the animal husbandry specialty, and solves the problems raised in the background art.
[0005] The solution of the utility model to the above technical problems is as follows:
[0006] A feed mixer suitable for the animal husbandry specialty includes a machine body, a mixing box is installed on the machine body, and paddle blades are rotatably installed in the mixing box through a rotating shaft;
[0007] A notch is opened at the top end of the mixing box, a liquid inlet pipe is installed at the notch of the mixing box, a driven gear is installed on the first section of the rotating shaft located outside the mixing box, a spray pipe is arranged on the liquid inlet pipe, a spray head is arranged at the bottom end of the spray pipe, an adding box is connected to the spray pipe through a branch pipe, and the spray pipe is communicated with a water source through a water pump;
[0008] A motor is installed on the machine body below the mixing box, a driving gear is installed at the output end of the motor, and the driving gear is connected with the driven gear through a chain drive.
[0009] On the basis of the above technical solution, the utility model can also be improved as follows.
[0010] Furthermore, a sliding plate is slidably mounted on the body, a tension pulley is rotatably mounted on the sliding plate, and the chain tension between the driven gear and the driving gear is adjusted by the sliding plate and the tension pulley.
[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further solution are as follows:
[0012] The design of the sliding plate and the tension pulley makes the adjustment of the chain tension simple and fast. The operator can easily adjust the position of the tension pulley by sliding the sliding plate, thereby achieving precise control of the chain tightness. This design greatly simplifies the maintenance process and improves work efficiency. The chain tension has an important impact on the transmission efficiency. An overly tight or loose chain may cause energy loss and increased wear during the transmission process. By adjusting the sliding plate and the tension pulley, it is possible to ensure that the chain maintains an appropriate tension, thereby improving the transmission efficiency and reducing energy consumption. An appropriate chain tension helps to reduce the wear of transmission components such as the chain, gears, and bearings. When the chain is too tight, it will increase the load and wear of the bearings; when the chain is too loose, chain skipping and slipping are likely to occur. By adjusting the sliding plate and the tension pulley to maintain an appropriate chain tension, the service life of these transmission components can be extended, and the failure rate and maintenance cost of the equipment can be reduced.
[0013] Furthermore, air holes are penetrated through the addition box, and the raw materials added in the addition box are sucked into the spray pipe by the pressure generated by the flow of the raw materials in the spray pipe.
[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further solution are as follows:
[0015] This design enables the raw materials in the addition box to be automatically sucked into the spray pipe, mixed with the sprayed water or other liquids, and then sprayed onto the feed powder in the mixing tank. This process does not require additional manual operation, reducing the operation steps and labor costs, and improving work efficiency. Since the raw materials are automatically sucked in and mixed with the liquid and then sprayed, it is possible to ensure the uniform distribution of the raw materials in the feed powder. This uniform mixing helps to improve the overall quality and nutritional value of the feed, enabling animals to ingest balanced nutrients.
[0016] Furthermore, a top cover is mounted on the mixing tank through a hinge, and limiting plates are rotatably mounted on both sides of the mixing tank, and sliding grooves are provided on the limiting plates.
[0017] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further solution are as follows:
[0018] The top cover installed through the hinge can be easily opened and closed, facilitating the operator to clean, maintain, add or replace raw materials inside the mixing tank. This design simplifies the operation process and improves work efficiency. The design of the limit plate and the chute not only enhances the stability of the top cover but also improves the overall safety of the mixing tank. During the mixing process, even under a certain external force impact, the top cover is not likely to be accidentally opened.
[0019] Furthermore, the chute is Y-shaped, and guiding shafts are provided on both sides of the top cover, and the guiding shafts are slidably limited in the chute, and the top cover locks the open and closed states through the guiding shafts and the chute.
[0020] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:
[0021] The design of the Y-shaped chute makes the opening and closing process of the top cover smoother and more precise. The operator can easily control the position of the top cover by sliding the guiding shafts without using additional tools or complex operating steps. The slidable limit of the guiding shafts in the Y-shaped chute can ensure the stability of the top cover in the open and closed states. Once the guiding shafts slide to specific positions in the chute, the top cover will be automatically locked without additional locking devices, improving the operation convenience.
[0022] Furthermore, a limit seat is provided on the side of the mixing tank facing away from the machine case, a locking pin is installed on the machine body, and after the mixing tank rotates by a certain angle, it is locked by the mutual insertion of the limit seat and the locking pin.
[0023] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:
[0024] After the mixing tank rotates by a certain angle, through the insertion and locking of the limit seat and the locking pin, the stability of the mixing tank during the mixing process can be ensured. This locking mechanism effectively prevents the mixing tank from shifting or shaking due to vibration or external force during the mixing process, ensuring the stable progress of the mixing operation. The insertion and locking of the locking pin and the limit seat not only improve the stability of the equipment but also enhance the safety of the mixing operation. During the mixing process, even under external force impact or vibration, the mixing tank can remain in the locked state, avoiding safety accidents caused by the accidental movement or detachment of the mixing tank.
[0025] Furthermore, through holes are formed through the top cover to balance the pressure inside the mixing tank.
[0026] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:
[0027] During the stirring process, due to the mixing of materials and the rotation of the stirrer, a certain positive pressure may be generated inside the stirring tank. The design of the through-hole allows the gas or steam inside the stirring tank to escape through the through-hole, thereby preventing the pressure inside the tank from being too high and ensuring the smooth progress of the stirring process. The through-hole can also serve as a gas exchange channel to help balance the pressure inside and outside the stirring tank and reduce the impact of pressure fluctuations on the stirring effect and the structure of the stirring tank.
[0028] The utility model provides a feed mixer applicable to the livestock industry. It has the following
[0029] Beneficial effects:
[0030] The arrangement of the spray pipe and the spray head enables water to be directly sprayed into the stirring tank. While mixing with the feed powder, it effectively reduces the dust flying, improves the working environment, and protects the health of the operators.
[0031] The design of the addition box allows users to conveniently add additional additives, such as vitamins, minerals, etc., further enhancing the nutritional value and functionality of the feed.
[0032] The through-hole on the top cover helps balance the pressure inside the stirring tank and prevents safety problems caused by excessive internal pressure. At the same time, the design of the limit plate and the sliding groove ensures the stability and safety of the top cover when it is opened and closed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Detailed implementation manners
[0041] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 as shown, the embodiments provided by the present invention:
[0043] Embodiment 1
[0044] A feed mixer applicable to the livestock industry, including a machine body 3, on which a mixing tank 2 is mounted. Inside the mixing tank 2, a paddle 207 is rotatably installed through a rotating shaft 208. A top cover 203 is installed on the mixing tank 2 through a hinge. A through hole 204 is penetrated through the top cover 203 to balance the pressure inside the mixing tank 2. During the mixing process, due to the mixing of materials and the rotation of the mixer, a certain positive pressure may be generated inside the mixing tank 2. The design of the through hole 204 allows the gas or steam inside the mixing tank 2 to escape through the through hole 204, thereby preventing the pressure inside the tank from being too high and ensuring the smooth progress of the mixing process. The through hole 204 can also serve as a gas exchange channel to help balance the pressure inside and outside the mixing tank 2, reducing the impact of pressure fluctuations on the mixing effect and the structure of the mixing tank 2. And on both sides of the mixing tank 2, limit plates 201 are rotatably installed. A chute 202 is opened on the limit plate 201. The top cover 203 installed through a hinge can be easily opened and closed, facilitating the operator to clean, maintain, add or replace raw materials inside the mixing tank 2. This design simplifies the operation process and improves work efficiency. The design of the limit plate 201 and the chute 202 not only enhances the stability of the top cover 203 but also improves the overall safety of the mixing tank 2. During the mixing process, even if subjected to a certain external force impact, the top cover 203 is not easily opened accidentally. The chute 202 is Y-shaped. Guide shafts are provided on both sides of the top cover 203, and the guide shafts are limited to slide inside the chute 202. The top cover 203 locks the open and closed states through the guide shafts and the chute 202. The design of the Y-shaped chute 202 makes the opening and closing process of the top cover 203 smoother and more precise. The operator can easily control the position of the top cover 203 by sliding the guide shafts without using additional tools or complex operation steps. The limited sliding of the guide shafts inside the Y-shaped chute 202 can ensure the stability of the top cover 203 in the open and closed states. Once the guide shafts slide to a specific position of the chute 202, the top cover 203 will be automatically locked without additional locking devices, improving the convenience of operation. A notch 105 is opened at the top end of the mixing tank 2. A liquid inlet pipe 1 is installed at the notch 105 of the mixing tank 2. On the first section of the rotating shaft 208 located outside the mixing tank 2, a driven gear 307 is installed. The liquid inlet pipe 1 is provided with a spray pipe 103. A nozzle 104 is provided at the bottom end of the spray pipe 103. The spray pipe 103 is connected to an addition box 101 through a branch pipe 102, and the spray pipe 103 is connected to a water source through a water pump. Air holes are penetrated through the addition box 101. The raw materials added in the addition box 101 are sucked into the spray pipe 103 by the pressure generated by the flow of the raw materials inside the spray pipe 103. This design enables the raw materials in the addition box 101 to be automatically sucked into the spray pipe 103 and sprayed onto the feed powder inside the mixing tank 2 after being mixed with the sprayed water or other liquids. This process does not require additional manual operation, reducing the operation steps and labor costs and improving work efficiency. Since the raw materials are automatically sucked in and mixed with the liquid and then sprayed, it can ensure the uniform distribution of the raw materials in the feed powder.This uniform mixing helps improve the overall quality and nutritional value of the feed, enabling animals to ingest a balanced composition of nutrients.
[0045] Example Two
[0046] For the convenience of driving the rotation of the rotating shaft 208, by way of example, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, the present invention further includes: a machine case 302 is provided on the machine body 3, a limit seat is provided on the side of the mixing tank 2 away from the machine case 302, a locking pin 205 is installed on the machine body 3, and after the mixing tank 2 rotates by a certain angle, it is locked by the mutual insertion of the limit seat and the locking pin 205. After the mixing tank 2 rotates by a certain angle, through the insertion and locking of the limit seat and the locking pin 205, the stability of the mixing tank 2 during the mixing process can be ensured. This locking mechanism effectively prevents the mixing tank 2 from shifting or shaking due to vibration or external force during the mixing process, ensuring the stable progress of the mixing operation. The insertion and locking of the locking pin 205 and the limit seat not only improve the stability of the equipment but also enhance the safety of the mixing operation. During the mixing process, even if subjected to external force impact or vibration, the mixing tank 2 can remain in the locked state, avoiding safety accidents caused by the accidental movement or detachment of the mixing tank 2. A motor 306 is installed below the mixing tank 2 on the machine body 3, a driving gear 305 is installed at the output end of the motor 306, the driving gear 305 and the driven gear 307 are connected by a chain drive, a slide plate 303 is slidably installed on the machine body 3, a tensioning wheel 304 is rotatably installed on the slide plate 303, the slide plate 303, the driving gear 305, and the driven gear 307 are all located inside the machine case 302, and the tension degree of the chain between the driven gear 307 and the driving gear 305 is adjusted by the slide plate 303 and the tensioning wheel 304. The design of the slide plate 303 and the tensioning wheel 304 makes the adjustment of the chain tension degree simple and fast. The operator can conveniently adjust the position of the tensioning wheel 304 by sliding the slide plate 303, thereby achieving precise control of the chain tightness. This design greatly simplifies the maintenance process and improves work efficiency. The tension degree of the chain has an important impact on the transmission efficiency. An overly tight or loose chain may lead to energy loss and increased wear during the transmission process. Through the adjustment of the slide plate 303 and the tensioning wheel 304, the chain can be ensured to maintain an appropriate tension degree, thereby improving the transmission efficiency and reducing energy consumption. An appropriate chain tension degree helps reduce the wear of transmission components such as the chain, gears, and bearings. When the chain is too tight, it will increase the load and wear of the bearings; when the chain is too loose, chain skipping and slipping are likely to occur. By adjusting the slide plate 303 and the tensioning wheel 304 to maintain an appropriate tension degree of the chain, the service life of these transmission components can be extended, and the failure rate and maintenance cost of the equipment can be reduced.
[0047] Working principle:
[0048] The paddle 207 in the mixing tank 2 is driven to rotate by the rotating shaft 208, and the mechanical force generated by the rotation is used to stir the feed powder. The rotation of the paddle 207 will drive the feed powder to generate relative movement in the mixing tank 2, including axial convection, shearing action and collision sliding, etc., so that the feed powder is fully mixed in three-dimensional space. Due to the specific design and rotation mode of the paddle 207, the feed powder will form multi-directional composite movements in the mixing tank 2, including axial convection mixing, shearing mixing and fluidized weightlessness movement, etc. These movement modes work together to enable the feed powder to achieve a uniform mixing effect in a short time.
[0049] The nozzle 103 connected to the liquid inlet pipe 1 and the nozzle 104 at its bottom end are used to spray water or other liquids into the mixing tank 2. The design of the nozzle 104 enables the liquid to be sprayed evenly and precisely on the feed powder, thereby promoting the rapid mixing of water and the feed powder. The sprayed liquid not only helps the mixing of the feed powder, but also effectively reduces the dust flying generated during the mixing process and improves the working environment. At the same time, the addition of water can adjust the humidity and texture of the feed, and improve the palatability and digestion and absorption rate of the feed.
[0050] The additive box 101 is connected to the nozzle 103 through the branch pipe 102, allowing the user to add additional additives into the mixing tank 2. When the liquid flows in the nozzle 103, the pressure generated will suck the raw materials in the additive box 101 into the nozzle 103 and mix with the liquid and then spray them onto the feed powder together. This design enables the user to flexibly adjust the types and dosages of additives according to needs to meet the requirements of different animal species and growth stages for the nutritional components of the feed.
[0051] The through hole 204 opened on the top cover 203 is used to balance the pressure in the mixing tank 2. During the mixing process, due to factors such as the mixing of the feed powder and water and the rotation of the paddle 207, certain pressure may be generated in the mixing tank 2. The setting of the through hole 204 helps to release these pressures in a timely manner to prevent safety problems caused by excessive internal pressure. The design of the limit plate 201 and the chute 202 is used to ensure the stability and safety of the top cover 203 when it is opened and closed. When the top cover 203 is closed, the guide shaft will slide into the chute 202 and be locked, thereby preventing the top cover 203 from accidentally opening during the mixing process.
