[0002] In the feed production process, various dry materials need to be humidified and mixed to achieve good processing results. Current methods for increasing the moisture content of dry feed materials generally involve natural watering in the mixer, which involves spraying a certain amount of water onto the surface of the dry materials in the mixing chamber and relying solely on paddle agitation to improve the uniformity of watering and achieve the desired hydration.
[0003] Currently, existing water dispensers include horizontal conveyor models and cylindrical mixer models. Most of them adopt a batch mixing and water addition method, adding dry materials and water intermittently. They cannot intelligently adjust the material flow rate and water flow rate according to the mixing situation, which can easily lead to some dry materials becoming overly wet, increasing the risk of mold growth, and also failing to guarantee the continuity of the production process.

[0027] Example 1
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a continuous water applicator includes a water applicator 3, a mixing chamber 4, and a discharge chamber 10. The water applicator 3 is equipped with nozzles 303, and the mixing chamber 4 is equipped with a mixing screw 11, which is driven to rotate by a drive motor 1.
[0029] Material enters the water-applying chamber 3 through the feed inlet. It is then sprayed on both sides by nozzles 303 to ensure uniform water application. After initial water application, the material enters the mixing chamber 4. A mixing screw 11 simultaneously turns and mixes the material to further homogenize the moisture content, while also transporting it to the discharge chamber 10, thus completing the water application process. The structural design of the water-applying chamber 3, mixing chamber 4, and discharge chamber 10 ensures the continuity of material feeding, transportation, and discharge during the water application process, guaranteeing continuous production, uninterrupted production, and improved production efficiency.
[0030] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the water-receiving tank 3 is mounted above the feed end of the mixing tank 4. The top of the water-receiving tank 3 is provided with a feed inlet, and an inclined material flow plate 301 is installed at the feed inlet. A material flow detector 302 is installed at the end of the water-receiving tank 3 corresponding to the material flow plate 301. Multiple nozzles 303 are installed on the side wall of the water-receiving tank 3. When the material flow detector 302 detects that material has entered the water-receiving tank 3, it drives the nozzles 303 to start spraying liquid to carry out the water-receiving operation, so that the material can be initially watered in the water-receiving tank 3.
[0031] In addition, please refer to the following: Figure 5 The material flow plate 301 includes a horizontal end and an inclined end. The horizontal end is connected to the top of the water receiving chamber 3 by fixing bolts. The inclined end is set at the feed inlet of the water receiving chamber 3 and is inclined towards the center to guide the material flow. At the same time, it is convenient for the material flow detector 302 to monitor whether there is material entering the water receiving chamber 3.
[0032] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the side wall of the water tank 3 is equipped with a maintenance plate 304. One end of the maintenance plate 304 is hinged to the side wall of the water tank 3, and the other end is connected to the water tank 3 through a locking member 305.
[0033] In this embodiment, the mixing chamber 4 is a horizontal chamber, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a liquid pipeline control system 6, including a mass flow meter, is installed on the side wall of the mixing chamber 4 near the water tank 3. This system is used to monitor the proportion of injected water in real time and adjust the water flow rate in real time according to the dry material flow rate monitored by the material flow detector 302.
[0034] The flow rate of dry material fed into the water tank 3 is monitored in real time by the material flow detector 302, and the water content ratio of the injected water is monitored in real time by the liquid pipeline control system 6. The water flow rate is adjusted in real time according to the dry material flow rate monitored by the material flow detector 302, thereby controlling the humidity of the material after it is wetted and ensuring the quality of the material.
[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the discharge end of the mixing chamber 4 is connected to the discharge chamber 10. A heating device 9 is installed on the mixing chamber 4. In this embodiment, the heating device 9 is a heat shield attached to the outer surface of the mixing chamber 4, which heats the material inside the chamber according to a preset temperature. In addition, a cable tray 12 is installed on the mixing chamber 4 to ensure neat routing of the heat shield's cables. A speed measuring device 5 and a temperature measuring device 8 are installed on the discharge chamber 10. The speed measuring device 5 is a speed sensor, and the temperature measuring device 8 is a temperature sensor. The speed measuring device 5 monitors the speed at which the mixing screw 11 moves the material inside the mixing chamber 4, and the temperature measuring device 8 provides real-time feedback of the material temperature, keeping the material within a constant temperature range.
[0036] like Figure 6 As shown, the mixing screw 11 includes a screw ribbon 1101 and a blade 1102. The screw ribbon 1101 is connected to a rotating rod via a fixed rod. The rotating rod is driven by a drive motor 1. The blade 1102 is connected to the rotating rod via a support rod. The other end of the support rod is connected to the screw ribbon 1101. The blade 1102 is inclined at a certain angle on the support rod. When the drive motor 1 drives the rotating rod to rotate, the inclined blade 1102 agitates the material, making the moisture content of the material more uniform. At the same time, the screw ribbon 1101 moves the material towards the discharge bin 10 to achieve material transportation. The drive motor 1 is mounted on one end of the mixing bin 4 by a fixed base 2, making the two ends of the mixing bin 4 level.
[0037] In addition, both the mixing chamber 4 and the discharge chamber 10 are equipped with inspection covers on their tops. Locking bolts are installed at the corresponding positions on the tops of the mixing chamber 4 and the discharge chamber 10 to secure the inspection covers. Furthermore, a magnetic switch associated with the inspection cover is provided to ensure that the machine stops promptly when the operator opens the inspection cover, preventing accidents caused by misoperation.
[0038] Working Principle: In operation, the continuous water applicator receives material through the feed inlet into the water applicator chamber 3. The material flow detector 302 detects the material entering the chamber and then drives the nozzles 303 to spray the material evenly on both sides. The pre-applied material then enters the mixing chamber 4. Simultaneously, the liquid pipeline control system 6 monitors the injected water content ratio in real time and adjusts the water flow rate injected by the nozzles 303 based on the dry material flow rate monitored by the material flow detector 302.
[0039] Inside the mixing chamber 4, the mixing screw 11 simultaneously turns and mixes the material to make the moisture content more uniform, while also transporting the material to the discharge chamber 10. At the same time, the heating device 9 heats the material, the temperature measuring device 8 provides real-time feedback on the material temperature to maintain it within a constant temperature range, and the speed measuring device 5 monitors the rotation speed of the mixing screw 11 in real-time to adjust the transport speed according to the actual material conditions.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 As shown, the structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1, except that: in order to improve the stability of the mixing chamber 4, multiple supports 7 are installed at the bottom of the mixing chamber 4. Please refer to the following for details. Figure 7 The bracket 7 includes a base 701, a U-shaped frame 702, a mounting block 703, and a clamping plate 704. The bottom of the U-shaped frame 702 is connected to the base 701, and the U-shaped frame 702 is adapted to the bottom shape of the mixing chamber 4 for clamping the mixing chamber 4.
[0042] Furthermore, an L-shaped mounting block 703 is connected to one side of the U-shaped frame 701, and the other end of the mounting block 703 is connected to the cable tray 12 for fixing the cable tray 12. A clamping plate 704 is connected to the end of the U-shaped frame 702 away from the mounting block 703, and a snap-fit space is formed between the other end of the clamping plate 704 and the top of the U-shaped frame 702 for snapping the top plate of the mixing chamber 4.
