Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of animal husbandry, and in particular relates to ruminant feed processing and feeding equipment. Background Art

[0002] In existing technologies, feed additives for ruminants are typically weighed and mixed manually, which is not only inefficient but also difficult to ensure accurate delivery and uniform distribution of the additives, affecting the fattening effect and health of the animals. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop an additive feed feeding device that can automatically and accurately feed the feed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Technical purpose: To provide an additive feed feeding device for fattening ruminants with high degree of automation, uniform mixing and simple operation.

[0004] Structure: The device primarily consists of an electrical control box, a bucket elevator, a mixer, an auger, and a feeder—representing the control unit, mixing system, and conveying system, respectively. The bucket elevator lifts the base feed and fattening additives to the mixer. The mixer is equipped with a stirring device to thoroughly mix the feed and additives. The control unit is responsible for automated control of the entire device, including weighing, proportioning, mixing, and conveying. The conveying system is responsible for delivering the mixed feed to the ruminant's trough.

[0005] Working Principle: During operation, the control unit controls the mixture of feed and additives according to preset ratio parameters and delivers them into the mixing chamber through the conveying system. The stirring device activates under the control unit's command, thoroughly stirring the feed and additives entering the mixing chamber to ensure a uniform mixture. Once mixing is complete, the conveying system restarts and delivers the mixed feed to the designated location.

[0006] Beneficial effects:

[0007] The precise proportions and uniform mixing ensure the nutritional balance and fattening effect of ruminant feed.

[0008] Compact structure, small footprint, easy to install and use.

[0009] The high degree of automation reduces manual operations and improves work efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] As shown in Figure 1, an additive feed feeding device for fattening ruminants includes an electrical control box 1 as the control center for the entire device. The control box integrates control circuitry and an operation panel for controlling the device's start, stop, speed adjustment, and coordinated operation of its various components. The operator can remotely control the device through the control panel on the electrical control box. Feed materials, such as basal feed and fattening additives, are fed into the device's feed inlet 2. A bucket elevator 20, driven by a conveyor shaft 3 and a conveyor wheel 7, lifts the materials fed from the feed inlet to the top of the device, where they enter a mixing and stirring device 19 through a feed inlet 17. The mixer is equipped with a stirring shaft 9 and a stirring paddle 10, which rotate and rotate with the mixer's motor to thoroughly mix the materials and ensure that the additives are evenly distributed throughout the feed. A dust collector 4 is installed above the mixer, connected to the mixer, to collect dust generated during mixing and maintain a clean working environment. An observation window 11 is mounted on the side wall of the mixing and stirring device, allowing the operator to observe internal operations without opening the device. A vibrator 5 is installed below the mixer to prevent clogging during material conveying or mixing. The electrical control box 1 controls the feed rate by adjusting the speed of the conveyor wheel 7 of the bucket elevator 20. It also precisely metered additives by controlling the screw conveying speed of the auger 12. Additives are added after the base feed enters the mixer 19, where they are sheared and mixed at high speed by the impeller 10 to ensure uniform distribution. After mixing, the flow rate and direction of the mixed feed are controlled by the control valve 6. The feed enters the auger 12 and is conveyed along a specific path to the discharge port 18 through the feed pipe 14 to the feeder 15. The feed is then automatically added to the trough 16 according to the set amount, ensuring the correct feed amount for each feeding. An inspection hole 13 is conveniently located on the auger 12 for easy access during maintenance or troubleshooting.

[0013] The embodiments described above are merely descriptions of preferred implementations of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should fall within the scope of protection determined by the claims of the present invention.
