Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed technology, and in particular to a pelleted feed dosing system. Background Technology

[0002] As the main food for pigs in pig farms, pelleted feed is often supplemented with drugs, additives, or auxiliary ingredients to promote pig growth or prevent disease infection. However, to ensure food safety and public health safety, the state prohibits feed mills from adding prohibited drugs to feed. Nevertheless, the use of drugs in pigs is unavoidable. To address the issue of drug administration to pigs, pig farms use various methods to administer drugs to them.

[0003] If medication is dissolved in water and fed to pigs, problems such as clogged drinking spouts, incomplete dissolution, poor taste leading to reluctance to drink, and decomposition of the medication over time can occur, resulting in significant waste. Adding powdered medication to pelleted feed can lead to uneven stratification (multiple separations, including primary and secondary separations) due to differences in bulk density, particle size, and flowability between different powdered medications and pelleted feed. This can result in a small number of pigs receiving excessive doses and experiencing poisoning, while the majority of pigs fail to receive effective medication, thus affecting treatment outcomes, increasing mortality rates, and impacting the economic benefits of the pig farm.

[0026] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0028] This embodiment mainly describes the pellet feed dosing system, as detailed below:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, the pelleted feed dosing system includes a frame 1, on which a crushing and feeding integrated machine 2, a mixer 3, and a pellet mill 4 are mounted. The crushing and feeding integrated machine 2 is driven by a first motor 21 and is used to crush the pelleted feed. The crushing and feeding integrated machine 2 has a suction pipe 5 and a feeding pipe 6. The suction pipe 5 draws the pelleted feed into the crushing and feeding integrated machine 2 for crushing, and the feeding pipe 6 transports the crushed powdered feed to the mixer 3 for mixing. The mixer 3 is driven by a second motor 36 and is used to mix the crushed feed powder, drugs, and additives to achieve uniform mixing of drugs, additives, and feed. The mixer 3 is equipped with a drug inlet 31 and a humidification system for humidifying the powdered feed. Disease-resistant drugs and additives are added to the mixer 3 through the drug inlet 31 for mixing. The humidification system is used to humidify the drug powdered feed to enhance its flowability, making it viscous and easier to form into pelleted drug feed, thereby improving the quality of the feed. The granulation process is achieved by a granulator 4 driven by a third motor 41, which is used to granulate uniformly mixed powdered feed, medicine, and additives into pelleted feed containing medicine, additives, and excipients. A mixer 3 is located above the granulator 4, and the lower end of the mixer 3 is provided with a first discharge channel 32 for feeding the uniformly mixed medicine feed into the granulator 4. The first discharge channel 32 is inclined downward to ensure smooth discharge. During operation, the suction pipe 5 sucks the pelleted feed into the integrated crushing and feeding machine 2 for crushing. The crushed powdered feed is then conveyed to the mixer 3 for stirring through the feeding pipe 6. Medicine and additives are added through the medicine addition port 31. Under the stirring of the mixer 3, the medicine, additives, and powdered feed are mixed. The medicine, additives, and powdered feed are humidified through the humidification system. The mixed and stirred medicine powdered feed enters the granulator 4 through the first discharge channel 32 for granulation. The granulator 4 processes the medicine powdered feed into finished pelleted medicine feed.

[0030] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the frame 1 is also equipped with a temporary storage bin 7, which is used to temporarily store the uniformly mixed drug powder feed. The temporary storage bin 7 is equipped with a first feeding channel 71, which is located below the first discharging channel 32. The drug powder feed mixed in the mixer 3 slides out through the first discharging channel 32 to the first feeding channel 71 and enters the temporary storage bin 7 through the first feeding channel 71. The lower end of the temporary storage bin 7 is equipped with a second discharging channel 72. The granulator 4 is equipped with a second feeding channel, and the second discharging channel 72 is located above the second feeding channel. When the granulator 4 is working, the drug powder feed in the temporary storage bin 7 slides out from the second discharging channel 72 and enters the granulator 4 through the second feeding channel for continuous granulation. The design of the temporary storage bin 7 can provide the granulator 4 with a continuous supply of drug powder feed, enabling the granulator 4 to continuously granulate and improve production efficiency.

[0031] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, a first switch assembly 8 is slidably provided on the first discharge channel 32 to close or open the first discharge channel 32. The first switch assembly 8 includes a first cylinder 81, a mounting base 82, and a first sealing plate 83. The first cylinder 81 is fixed on the mixer 3, and the mounting base 82 is fixed to the end of the telescopic rod of the first cylinder 81 by screws. The first sealing plate 83 is fixed on the mounting base 82. A slot 33 communicating with the first discharge channel is opened on the outer wall of the first discharge channel 32, and the first sealing plate 83 slides... Located within slot 33, the first sealing plate 83, driven by the first cylinder 81, slides up and down within slot 33 to open or close the first discharge port. Specifically, when the telescopic rod of the first cylinder 81 is shortened, the first sealing plate 83 slides upward within slot 33 along with the telescopic rod, and the first discharge channel 32 is opened; when the telescopic rod of the first cylinder 81 is extended, the first sealing plate 83 slides downward within slot 33 along with the telescopic rod and fits against the inner wall of the first discharge channel 32, and the first discharge channel 32 is closed.

[0032] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the second discharge channel 72 is provided with a second switch assembly 9 at its end to open or close the second discharge channel 72. The second switch assembly 9 includes a second sealing plate 91 and a second cylinder 92. The second cylinder 92 is fixed on the frame 1. The second sealing plate 91 is hinged to the port of the second discharge channel 72. The second cylinder 92 is located above the temporary storage bin 7 and the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 92 is set facing the temporary storage bin 7. The end of the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 92 is connected to the second sealing plate 91 through a steel wire 93. Specifically, a connecting ring 911 is fixed on the second sealing plate 91. A connecting hole 921 is provided at the lower end of the telescopic rod of the second cylinder. A through hole 73 corresponding to the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 92 is provided on the temporary storage bin 7. One end of the steel wire 93 is fixed at the connecting hole 921, and the other end passes through the clearance hole and extends into the temporary storage bin 7 to be fixedly connected to the connecting ring 911. When the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 92 extends, the pulling force of the second cylinder 92 on the second sealing plate 91 decreases. Under the action of the weight of the second sealing plate 91 itself and the pressure of the drug powder, the second sealing plate flips downward, and the second discharge channel 72 is opened. When the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 92 gradually shortens, the pulling force of the second cylinder 92 on the second sealing plate 91 gradually increases, and the second sealing plate 91 flips upward to close the second discharge channel 72.

[0033] Specifically, the humidification system includes a water jug ​​(not shown in the figure) and a spray pipe 34. The water jug ​​(not shown in the figure) is used to provide water to the spray pipe 34. The spray pipe 34 is used to spray water on powdered feed, medicine, and auxiliary materials. The water jug ​​(not shown in the figure) is fixed on the mixer 3. One end of the spray pipe 34 is connected to the water jug ​​(not shown in the figure), and the other end is connected to the inside of the mixer 3.

[0034] Specifically, there is at least one first discharge channel 32, and the number of first feed channels 71 is equal to that of the first discharge channels 32 and they are matched one by one. By increasing the number of first discharge channels 32, the drug powder feed in the mixer 3 can be quickly fed into the temporary storage bin 7.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to avoid the problem of poor flowability of drug powder feed in the temporary storage bin 7 during the granulation process, which would lead to difficulties in feeding, a vibrator 74 is installed on the temporary storage bin 7. The vibrator 74 can speed up the feeding speed of drug powder feed and ensure the continuity of granulation work.

[0036] Specifically, the dosing port 31 is equipped with a cover 35 to seal the dosing port 31. When it is necessary to add medicine, excipients and additives, open the cover to add them. After adding, close the cover to prevent powdered feed from spilling out during stirring.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the frame 1 is equipped with a controller 10, which controls the operation of the crushing and feeding integrated machine 2, the mixer 3, the humidification system, the pellet mill 4 and the vibrator 74. The controller 10 is equipped with switches to control each process. By adjusting the controller 10, the operation of each process of pellet feed dosing can be controlled, realizing automated production and improving work efficiency.

[0038] Specifically, the frame 1 is equipped with enclosure panels 12 and door panels 13 that enclose all four sides of the frame 1. The enclosure panels 12 enclose the four upper sides of the frame 1, and the door panels 13 are hinged to the frame 1 to enclose the four lower sides of the frame 1. The door panels 13, enclosure panels 12, and frame 1 together form an installation chamber. The controller 10 is located on the enclosure panels 12. The crushing and feeding integrated machine 2, the temporary storage bin 7, and the granulator 4 are all located in the installation chamber. The upper side of the mixer 3 is located outside the installation chamber, and the lower side is located inside the installation chamber. The door panel 13 near the discharge end of the granulator 4 has an opening 14 for the granulator 4 to discharge material. Above the opening 14 is an observation window 15 for observing the material discharge from the temporary storage bin 7. The door panels 13 facilitate the repair and cleaning of the machines on the frame 1.

[0039] Working principle: When the controller 10 is turned on, under its control, the feed granules are drawn into the integrated crushing and feeding machine 2 via the suction pipe 5 and crushed. The crushed powdered feed is then conveyed to the mixer 3 via the feeding pipe 6. Based on the feed dosage, medications, additives, and excipients are added through the dosing port 31. The mixer 3 is then started, and under its stirring action, the medications, additives, and excipients are mixed evenly with the powdered feed. Simultaneously, the water spray pipe 34 is opened to humidify the powdered feed, medications, additives, and excipients. Then, the first cylinder 81 is activated to drive the first sealing plate 8. 3. The upper slide opens the first discharge channel 32, allowing the evenly mixed and moistened drug powder feed to enter the temporary storage bin 7 through the first discharge channel 32. At the same time, the second cylinder 92 is activated to flip the second sealing plate 91 downwards and open the second discharge channel 72, allowing the evenly mixed and moistened drug powder to enter the granulator 4. The granulator 4 is started and works to process the drug powder feed into finished granulated drug feed. In the above process, after the crushing and feeding integrated machine 2 crushes the feed, it is transported to the mixer 3 and then continues to crush new granulated feed. The mixer 3 and the granulator 4 also repeat this cycle.
