Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed processing technology, specifically to a feeding device for ring-shaped feed. Background Technology

[0002] Feed is a general term for the food of all domesticated animals. In a narrower sense, feed mainly refers to the food of animals raised in agriculture or animal husbandry. Ring-shaped feed is usually made using a pellet mill. The pelleting process includes mixing, heating, compressing, and shaping the raw materials. This process increases the density of the feed, making it easier to store and transport. It also enhances palatability because the heating process improves the flavor. Ring-shaped feed has good physical stability, making it less prone to scattering or breaking. This results in slower dissolution in water, reducing waste, and allowing it to remain in water for a certain period, making it convenient for fish and other aquatic organisms to consume.

[0003] Currently, the existing feed packaging process involves manually placing a certain amount of ring-shaped feed onto positioning posts, and then packaging the feed into long strip-shaped bags. Therefore, prolonged work increases worker fatigue, may lead to inconsistent feed quantities and reduced packaging efficiency. Furthermore, the need for nutritionally balanced feeds requires separate packaging of different feeds, which increases the complexity of the operation and the wear and tear on the packaging bags, thereby increasing production costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feeding device for annular feed, including an operating table, a chain conveyor installed on the table surface, a feeding component installed on one side of the chain conveyor, and a feeding component installed at the tail end of the chain conveyor. Multiple carrier boxes are fixed on the chain of the chain conveyor. A rotating table is installed on the left side of the operating table, and multiple columns are fixed on the rotating table. Limiting cylinders are fixed on the outer side of the columns.

[0005] The feeding assembly includes a support box fixed on the operating table and a transfer part located on one side of the support box, with a pusher part fixed on the top of the support box.

[0006] Furthermore, the pushing part includes a guide block fixed on the support box. The guide block is divided into an upper layer and a lower layer, and a guide groove is provided between the upper layer and the lower layer. A sleeve connected to the guide groove is fixed on the upper layer. A pushing cylinder is installed on one side of the guide block, and a pushing plate that slides in the guide groove is fixed at the top end of the pushing cylinder.

[0007] Furthermore, the transplanting unit includes a stand fixed on the operating table, a transplanting cylinder is installed on one side of the stand, a transplanting plate is fixed to the top end of the transplanting cylinder and slidably connected to the stand, a push-down cylinder is installed on the top of the transplanting plate, and a clamping cylinder is fixed to the top end of the push-down cylinder and slidably connected to the transplanting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the top of the support box is equipped with two sets of pushing parts, and the diameter of the left sleeve of the two pushing parts is smaller than the diameter of the right sleeve. The top of the operating table is equipped with transplanting parts located on the left and right sides of the support box, and a pressing device located in the middle section of the chain conveyor. An H-shaped block is fixed on the bracket of the pressing device, and the chain of the chain conveyor slides in the top groove of the H-shaped block.

[0009] Furthermore, the feeding assembly includes a side frame fixed on the operating table, a feeding cylinder is installed on one side of the side frame, a feeding plate that slides with the side frame is fixed to the top end of the feeding cylinder, a bottom-lifting cylinder is installed on the top of the feeding plate, and a clamping cylinder that slides with the feeding plate is fixed to the top end of the bottom-lifting cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, a belt drive device is installed on the left side of the operating table, and the belt end of the belt drive device is fixed with a support plate that is slidably connected to the frame of the belt drive device.

[0011] Compared with the existing technology, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] The feeding device for this ring-shaped feed uses a pushing cylinder to drive the pushing plate to retract and advance, allowing the ring-shaped feed in the sleeve to fall into the guide trough and be pushed forward. Then, in conjunction with the transplanting unit, the feed is placed into the carrier box and transported to the feeding assembly via a chain conveyor. The feeding assembly then threads the feed onto the uprights until a specified quantity is reached. Finally, the position of the uprights is adjusted by rotating the turntable, allowing the threaded uprights to move to the packaging area for packaging. Therefore, automated feeding improves efficiency while maintaining consistent quantity. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] See also Figure 1-6 This embodiment of a feeding device for a ring-shaped feed includes an operating platform 1, which is divided into a high platform and a low platform. A chain conveyor 2 and a support box 24 located on the back of the chain conveyor 2 are installed on the high platform. Multiple carrier boxes 3 are fixed on the chain of the chain conveyor 2. The top of the carrier box 3 has a placement groove. A feeding component is installed on the top of the support box 24. The feeding component includes a pushing part fixed on the support box 24 and a transplanting part fixed on the operating platform 1. A feeding component located at the end of the chain conveyor 2 is also installed on the high platform. A rotating platform 19 is rotatably connected to the high platform. No fewer than eight columns 20 are fixed on the surface of the rotating platform 19. A limit cylinder 21 is fixed at one-third of the outer side of the column 20.

[0022] In the above structure, the feeding section pushes out the ring-shaped feed, and then the transfer section moves the feed to the placement slot of the carrier box. The chain conveyor then moves the product to the end, and the feeding component strings the feed onto the column until the column is loaded with an appropriate amount of feed. Then the turntable rotates, which moves the column to the next process. Therefore, it can realize automated discharge, transfer, feeding and loading, thus reducing manual labor and improving production efficiency. It is also suitable for mass production and can ensure that the number of products placed is consistent.

[0023] like Figure 2-3 And 6, with Figure 2 In the indicated direction, the pushing part includes a guide block 4 fixed to the top of the support box 24. The guide block 4 is divided into an upper layer and a lower layer, and the upper and lower layers are combined in a stepped manner. The top of the upper layer and the bottom of the lower layer are provided with guide grooves. The upper layer of the guide block 4 is fixed with a sleeve 5 that communicates with the guide groove. The sleeve 5 is C-shaped. A pushing cylinder 6 is installed on the front of the guide block 4. The top end of the pushing cylinder 6 is fixed with a pushing plate 7 that slides in the guide groove. The pushing plate 7 is L-shaped, and the surface of the pushing plate 7 can cover the bottom of the sleeve 5. First, an appropriate amount of ring-shaped feed is placed in the sleeve and stacked. In the initial state, the bottom of the sleeve is covered by a pusher plate to restrict the feed from falling. When it is necessary to push the feed, the pusher cylinder drives the pusher plate to retract, causing the pusher plate to separate from the bottom of the sleeve. As a result, the feed will fall into the guide trough under the guide block. After the pusher plate is reset, the feed in the guide trough can be pushed to the limit position. At the same time, the bottom of the sleeve will be limited again to complete the pushing operation.

[0024] The transplanting unit includes a stand 8 fixed to the top of the operating table 1 on the left side of the support box 24. A transplanting cylinder 9 is installed on the front of the stand 8. A transplanting plate 10, which is slidably connected to the stand 8, is fixed to the top end of the transplanting cylinder 9. A push-down cylinder 11 is installed on the top of the transplanting plate 10. A clamping cylinder 12, which is slidably connected to the transplanting plate 10, is installed to the top end of the push-down cylinder 11. When the feed is moved to the limit position of the feed guide trough, the transplanting cylinder will drive the clamping cylinder 1 to move above the center of the feed through the transplanting plate. Then, the push-down cylinder will drive the clamping cylinder 1 to move to the center of the annular feed. The clamping cylinder 1 will then open its clamping end, which can fix the feed by squeezing. The feed will then retract and be moved above the carrier box by the transplanting cylinder to complete the feeding operation.

[0025] In addition, combining with 1 and 6, the pushing part at the top of the support box 24 is two sets, and the diameter of the sleeve 5 in the right pushing part is smaller than the diameter of the sleeve 5 on the left. The transplanting part at the top of the operating table 1 is also two sets, and the two sets of transplanting parts are distributed on the left and right sides of the support box 24. A pressing device 13 is installed on the operating table 1 at one-third of the distance from the chain conveyor 2. An H-shaped block is installed on the frame of the pressing device 13. The chain end of the chain conveyor 2 slides in the top groove of the H-shaped block, and the two protruding ends of the top of the H-shaped block can support the bearing box 3. Two sets of pushing parts can push ring-shaped feeds of different diameters to the limit position of the guide trough. Then, the transplanting part first transfers the feed with a larger diameter to the carrier box, and then places the feed with a smaller diameter into the inner diameter of the feed with a larger diameter. This continues until the chain conveyor moves the carrier box under the pressing device. Supported by H-blocks, the pressing device presses down, causing the feed with a smaller diameter to be embedded and fixed in the inner diameter of the feed with a larger diameter. This allows the two sets of feeds to be filled in the same packaging bag, which can reduce the cost of subsequent packaging. During use, the two sets of feeds can also achieve a balanced nutritional effect.

[0026] like Figure 1-4 ,by Figure 4 As shown in the diagram, the feeding assembly includes a side frame 14 fixed to the high platform of the operating table 1. The side frame 14 is located at the tail end of the chain conveyor 2. A feeding cylinder 15 is installed on the left side of the side frame 14. A feeding plate 16, which is slidably connected to the side frame 14, is fixed to the top end of the feeding cylinder 15. A lowering cylinder 17 is installed on the top of the feeding plate 16, and a clamping cylinder 18 is installed on the top end of the lowering cylinder 17. The feeding cylinder can drive the clamping cylinder 18 to be positioned above the center of the feed via the feeding plate. The lowering cylinder can then drive the clamping end of the clamping cylinder 18 to extend to the center, and the clamping cylinder 18 can open the clamping end to clamp the feed. The feed is then fed to the top of the column by the feeding cylinder, so that the feed is placed on the column to complete the feeding and sorting. Then, by rotating the turntable, the sorted column can be moved to another process.

[0027] like Figure 1-6A belt drive device 22 is installed on the base of the operating platform 1. A support plate 23 is fixed to the belt end of the belt drive device 22. One side of the support plate 23 slides against the frame of the belt drive device 22, and the support plate 23 is L-shaped. The protruding end of the support plate 23 can be opposite to one of the columns 20. When the feeding component puts the feed onto the column, the belt drive device drives the support plate to move to a position near the top of the column. When the feed is placed below the feeding component, the feed falls down the column. At this time, the support plate supports the feed. When one piece of feed is placed, the belt drive device drives the support plate to fall one end, always making room for a piece of feed until it reaches the top of the limiting cylinder, completing the placement of the specified number of feeds. The support plate can prevent the feed from falling freely and colliding, causing damage.

[0028] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0029] By loading feed of different sizes into two sleeves, the chain conveyor moves the carrier box to the two guide blocks in sequence. When pushing the feed, the pushing cylinder drives the pushing plate to retract and push forward, thus pushing the feed in the sleeve to the designated position. Through the cooperation of the transfer cylinder and the downward pushing cylinder, the clamping cylinder moves to the appropriate position to fix the feed and transfer it to the carrier box. First, the larger feed is placed, and then the smaller feed is placed into the inner diameter of the larger feed. The chain conveyor moves the carrier box to the bottom of the pressing device and is supported by the H-shaped plate. Then, the smaller feed is pressed down and embedded into the larger feed and fixed. Then, through the operation of the feeding cylinder and the downward pushing cylinder, the clamping cylinder is squeezed out and fixed with the feed. Then, it is moved to the top of the column and lowered, so that the feed falls with the column. At the same time, the support plate will gradually move down to support the feed until the support plate retracts to the limit, so that the feed on the column is at the appropriate amount. Then, by rotating the turntable, the stacked feed can be moved to the next process.

[0030] In summary, automation can improve production efficiency and ensure consistent packaging quantities, while also enabling modular packaging to save on packaging bags and reduce costs.
