Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, specifically to a livestock medicine mixing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In livestock farming, it is often necessary to mix medications with feed to ensure that livestock can ingest the medication evenly, thereby achieving the purpose of treating or preventing diseases. This involves the field of livestock farming equipment technology.

[0003] In existing livestock medication mixing machines, medication and feed are typically mixed directly within the mixing chamber. This traditional method suffers from insufficient mixing of medication and feed. Specifically, when medication is directly added to the mixing chamber and mixed with feed, the medication tends to clump together, and during mixing, it may even clump due to the influence of the feed. This insufficient mixing leads to uneven medication dosage in livestock, affecting treatment or prevention effectiveness. In severe cases, it may delay treatment or cause disease transmission, resulting in economic losses for livestock farmers.

[0004] To address this, we propose a livestock medication mixing machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a livestock medicine mixing machine, which solves the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a livestock medicine mixing machine, including a workbench and a mixing chamber installed on the workbench. The mixing chamber is equipped with a mixing impeller inside. A drive motor for driving the mixing impeller to rotate is installed at the bottom of the workbench. A discharge port for discharging material is provided on one side of the mixing chamber at the bottom of the workbench. A connecting cylinder is provided at the top of the mixing chamber. A stainless steel filter screen is fixedly installed inside the connecting cylinder. A through hole is opened at the center point of the stainless steel filter screen. A connecting column is movably connected to the through hole of the stainless steel filter screen through a bearing. The connecting column corresponds vertically to the mixing shaft on the mixing impeller. A cross-shaped connecting groove is opened at the top of the mixing shaft on the mixing impeller. A cross-shaped connecting block is fixedly connected at the bottom of the connecting column corresponding to the position of the cross-shaped connecting groove. The cross-shaped connecting block is movably engaged inside the cross-shaped connecting groove. A pushing mechanism is provided on the stainless steel filter screen. The connecting cylinder and the mixing chamber are connected by a fixing mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, the pushing mechanism includes an extrusion block, a material placement groove, a limiting block, and a limiting groove. The extrusion block is movably sleeved on the connecting column. Two material placement grooves are symmetrically opened on the extrusion block. Both material placement grooves are fan-shaped grooves. The limiting block is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting column. A limiting groove is opened on the extrusion block at the position corresponding to the limiting block. The limiting block is movably engaged inside the limiting groove.

[0008] Preferably, the stainless steel filter screen is a cylindrical shape with a closed bottom, the diameter of the stainless steel filter screen gradually decreases from top to bottom, the bottom shape and size of the extrusion block are adapted to the internal shape and size of the stainless steel filter screen, and the top of the extrusion block is inclined outward and downward.

[0009] Preferably, a connecting ring is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the stainless steel filter screen, and a slot is opened on the lower wall of the extrusion block corresponding to the position of the connecting ring. The connecting ring is movably engaged in the slot. A first top block is fixedly installed on the upper wall of the connecting ring, and a second top block is fixedly installed on the inner top surface of the slot. Both the first top block and the second top block are hemispherical.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes fixing blocks, fixing bolts, and threaded holes. Four fixing blocks are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder. The fixing blocks are L-shaped. The lower vertical ends of the four fixing blocks are movably connected to fixing bolts. Threaded holes are opened on the outer wall of the mixing chamber at the positions corresponding to the four fixing bolts.

[0011] Preferably, the threads inside the threaded hole are adapted to the fixing bolt, and the fixing bolt is threadedly connected to the threaded hole.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. By incorporating a stirring impeller, connecting column, and feeding mechanism, the system achieves thorough mixing of medicine and feed. During operation, the drive motor rotates the stirring impeller, which is connected to the connecting column. The limiting block on the connecting column engages with the limiting groove of the extrusion block, causing the extrusion block to rotate synchronously with the connecting column. The medicine, placed inside the connecting cylinder, is mostly stored in the feeding trough of the extrusion block. As the extrusion block rotates, the medicine undergoes a circular motion on the stainless steel filter screen before falling into the interior of the stirring impeller, thus thoroughly mixing with the feed in the mixing chamber. This avoids the problems of traditional mixers where medicine accumulates due to direct addition or where medicine may clump due to feed influence, leading to insufficient mixing.

[0014] 2. By setting up an extrusion block and a connecting cylinder, the top of the extrusion block is tilted downwards and its outer wall does not contact the inner wall of the connecting cylinder, thus preventing drug residue. The special design of the extrusion block allows the drug accumulated on its top to fall into the stainless steel filter screen or storage tank through the gap with the inner wall of the connecting cylinder, effectively avoiding drug residue on the extrusion block, ensuring full utilization of the drug and cleanliness of the equipment.

[0015] 3. By incorporating a connecting ring, a squeezing block (slot, second top block), and a first top block, the system effectively prevents the stainless steel filter from clogging and further promotes drug separation. The connecting ring is located within the slot of the squeezing block. During the rotation of the squeezing block, when the first top block on the connecting ring contacts the worktable within the slot, the squeezing block is lifted. When the first top block separates from the second top block, the squeezing block falls back to its original position. This repeated action causes the stainless steel filter to vibrate, dislodging the drug accumulated in the filter holes and simultaneously promoting the separation of the drug on the top of the squeezing block, thus preventing filter clogging from affecting the normal operation of the equipment.

[0016] 4. By preventing stainless steel filter clogging and drug residue, and reducing corrosion and wear inside the equipment caused by drugs, the service life of the equipment is extended. Because the drugs can pass through the filter smoothly without residue, damage to the internal structure of the equipment is reduced, extending the overall service life of the equipment and lowering equipment replacement costs.

[0017] 5. By preventing drug residue and filter clogging, drug waste is reduced. The drug can fully participate in the mixing process, avoiding loss due to residue or clogging, thereby lowering drug costs and improving the economic efficiency of drug use.

[0018] 6. By setting up a fixing mechanism, the disassembly and installation of the connecting cylinder and the mixing chamber are facilitated. The fixing block on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder is threadedly connected to the threaded hole on the outer wall of the mixing chamber through fixing bolts. This connection method allows the staff to quickly separate or install the connecting cylinder from the mixing chamber during routine maintenance and repair, improving the convenience of equipment maintenance.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the detailed description given here with reference to the accompanying drawings is for better explanation. The structure of the present invention may exceed the limited embodiments described herein. Some equivalent alternatives or common means will not be described in detail here, but they still fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0026] Figures 1-5 This is the preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is described below in conjunction with the appendix. Figures 1-5 The present invention will be further described below.

[0027] A livestock medicine mixing machine includes a workbench 1 and a mixing chamber 2 mounted on the workbench 1. The mixing chamber 2 is equipped with a mixing impeller 4. A drive motor 3 for driving the mixing impeller 4 is mounted on the bottom of the workbench 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 3 is connected to the mixing shaft of the mixing impeller 4 via a belt drive. A discharge port 5 for discharging material is located on one side of the bottom of the workbench 1, at the bottom of the mixing chamber 2. The above-mentioned technologies are all prior art and are known to those skilled in the art, and will not be discussed further here. A connecting cylinder 6 is provided on the top of the mixing chamber 2. A stainless steel filter screen 7 is fixedly installed inside the connecting cylinder 6. The stainless steel filter screen 7 is made of stainless steel. A through hole is provided at the center point of the stainless steel filter screen 7. A connecting column 8 is movably connected to the inside of the through hole of the stainless steel filter screen 7 through a bearing. The connecting column 8 corresponds vertically to the stirring shaft on the stirring impeller 4. A cross-shaped connecting groove 9 is provided at the top of the stirring shaft on the stirring impeller 4. A cross-shaped connecting block 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting column 8 at the position corresponding to the position of the cross-shaped connecting groove 9. The cross-shaped connecting block 10 is movably engaged inside the cross-shaped connecting groove 9. The connecting column 8 is connected to the stirring impeller 4 through the workbench 1. When the stirring impeller 4 rotates, the connecting column 8 rotates with the stirring impeller 4. A material pushing mechanism is provided on the stainless steel filter screen 7. The connecting cylinder 6 is connected to the stirring chamber 2 through a fixing mechanism.

[0028] When using the product, first put the feed that needs to be mixed with the medicine into the mixing chamber 2, then put the medicine into the connecting cylinder 6, start the drive motor 3 to drive the mixing impeller 4 to rotate, and the mixing impeller 4 will drive the connecting column 8 to rotate. The connecting column 8, together with the pushing mechanism on it, can spread the medicine in a circumferential shape and send it into the mixing impeller 4, and work with the mixing impeller 4 to fully mix with the feed. After mixing, the feed can be discharged through the discharge port 5.

[0029] The feeding mechanism includes an extrusion block 11, a feeding groove 12, a limiting block 17, and a limiting groove 18. The extrusion block 11 is movably sleeved on the connecting column 8. The outer wall of the extrusion block 11 does not contact the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 6. Two feeding grooves 12 are symmetrically opened on the extrusion block 11. Both feeding grooves 12 are fan-shaped grooves. The limiting block 17 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting column 8. The limiting groove 18 is opened on the extrusion block 11 at the position corresponding to the limiting block 17. The limiting block 17 is movably engaged inside the limiting groove 18.

[0030] The stainless steel filter screen 7 is a cylindrical shape with a closed bottom. The diameter of the stainless steel filter screen 7 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The bottom shape and size of the extrusion block 11 are adapted to the internal shape and size of the stainless steel filter screen 7, and the top of the extrusion block 11 is set to be inclined outward and downward.

[0031] During use, since the limiting block 17 on the connecting column 8 is movably engaged inside the upper limit block 17 of the extrusion block 11, when the connecting column 8 rotates with the stirring impeller 4, the extrusion block 11 rotates with the connecting column 8. At the same time, most of the medicine inside the connecting cylinder 6 will be stored inside the two feeding troughs 12. As the extrusion block 11 rotates, it pushes the medicine to move in a circular motion on the stainless steel filter screen 7 and falls into the interior of the stirring impeller 4 below. With the stirring impeller 4, the medicine and feed can be mixed more thoroughly, avoiding the problem of insufficient mixing caused by the medicine piling up or clumping due to the influence of feed in traditional mixers.

[0032] Because the top of the extrusion block 11 is tilted outward and downward, and the outer wall of the extrusion block 11 does not contact the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 6, the medicine accumulated on the top of the extrusion block 11 will fall into the stainless steel filter screen 7 through the gap between the extrusion block 11 and the connecting cylinder 6 during the rotation of the extrusion block 11, or fall into the interior of the two material storage slots 12 on the extrusion block 11, thereby avoiding the presence of medicine residue on the extrusion block 11.

[0033] A connecting ring 13 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the stainless steel filter screen 7. A slot 15 is opened on the lower wall of the extrusion block 11 corresponding to the position of the connecting ring 13. The connecting ring 13 is movably engaged in the slot 15. A first top block 14 is fixedly installed on the upper wall of the connecting ring 13. A second top block 16 is fixedly installed on the inner top surface of the slot 15. Both the first top block 14 and the second top block 16 are hemispherical.

[0034] During use, since the connecting ring 13 moves inside the slot 15 on the extrusion block 11, the connecting ring 13 can ensure the stability of the extrusion block 11 when it rotates. When the first top block 14 on the connecting ring 13 contacts the worktable 1 inside the slot 15 as the extrusion block 11 rotates, the extrusion block 11 will be lifted up. However, when the first top block 14 separates from the second top block 16, the extrusion block 11 will fall back to its original position. This repeated action of the extrusion block 11 falling down can cause the stainless steel filter screen 7 to vibrate, thereby effectively shaking off the medicine accumulated in the filter holes of the stainless steel filter screen 7, preventing it from being blocked by the stainless steel filter screen 7 and affecting its use. At the same time, the movement of the extrusion block 11 can also promote the separation of the medicine accumulated on the top of the extrusion block 11, further preventing any medicine residue on the extrusion block 11.

[0035] The fixing mechanism includes fixing blocks 19, fixing bolts 20 and threaded holes 21. Four fixing blocks 19 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 6. The fixing blocks 19 are L-shaped. The lower vertical ends of the four fixing blocks 19 are movably connected to the fixing bolts 20. Threaded holes 21 are opened on the outer wall of the mixing chamber 2 at the positions corresponding to the four fixing bolts 20.

[0036] The thread inside the threaded hole 21 is compatible with the fixing bolt 20, and the fixing bolt 20 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 21.

[0037] Since the connecting cylinder 6 and the mixing chamber 2 are fixed by the threaded connection of the fixing bolt 20 and the threaded hole 21, the connecting cylinder 6 and the mixing chamber 2 can be quickly disassembled and installed during use, which facilitates daily maintenance and repair.

[0038] Working principle:

[0039] When using the product, first put the feed that needs to be mixed with the medicine into the mixing chamber 2, then put the medicine into the connecting cylinder 6, start the drive motor 3 to drive the mixing impeller 4 to rotate, and the mixing impeller 4 will drive the connecting column 8 to rotate. The connecting column 8, together with the pushing mechanism on it, can spread the medicine in a circumferential shape and send it into the mixing impeller 4, and work with the mixing impeller 4 to fully mix with the feed. After mixing, the feed can be discharged through the discharge port 5.

[0040] During use, since the limiting block 17 on the connecting column 8 is movably engaged inside the upper limit block 17 of the extrusion block 11, when the connecting column 8 rotates with the stirring impeller 4, the extrusion block 11 rotates with the connecting column 8. At the same time, most of the medicine inside the connecting cylinder 6 will be stored inside the two feeding troughs 12. As the extrusion block 11 rotates, it pushes the medicine to move in a circular motion on the stainless steel filter screen 7 and falls into the interior of the stirring impeller 4 below. With the stirring impeller 4, the medicine and feed can be mixed more thoroughly, avoiding the problem of insufficient mixing caused by the medicine piling up or clumping due to the influence of feed in traditional mixers.

[0041] Because the top of the extrusion block 11 is tilted outward and downward, and the outer wall of the extrusion block 11 does not contact the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 6, the medicine accumulated on the top of the extrusion block 11 will fall into the stainless steel filter screen 7 through the gap between the extrusion block 11 and the connecting cylinder 6 during the rotation of the extrusion block 11, or fall into the interior of the two material storage slots 12 on the extrusion block 11, thereby avoiding the presence of medicine residue on the extrusion block 11.

[0042] During use, since the connecting ring 13 moves inside the slot 15 on the extrusion block 11, the connecting ring 13 can ensure the stability of the extrusion block 11 when it rotates. When the first top block 14 on the connecting ring 13 contacts the worktable 1 inside the slot 15 as the extrusion block 11 rotates, the extrusion block 11 will be lifted up. However, when the first top block 14 separates from the second top block 16, the extrusion block 11 will fall back to its original position. This repeated action of the extrusion block 11 falling down can cause the stainless steel filter screen 7 to vibrate, thereby effectively shaking off the medicine accumulated in the filter holes of the stainless steel filter screen 7, preventing it from being blocked by the stainless steel filter screen 7 and affecting its use. At the same time, the movement of the extrusion block 11 can also promote the separation of the medicine accumulated on the top of the extrusion block 11, further preventing any medicine residue on the extrusion block 11.

[0043] Since the connecting cylinder 6 and the mixing chamber 2 are fixed by the threaded connection of the fixing bolt 20 and the threaded hole 21, the connecting cylinder 6 and the mixing chamber 2 can be quickly disassembled and installed during use, which facilitates daily maintenance and repair.

[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from its technical solution shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
