Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed conveying technology, specifically a feed corner conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] With the large-scale development of the aquaculture industry, improving breeding efficiency and reducing labor costs have become key factors. Automated feeding line systems have emerged and become widely used in farms. These systems greatly reduce the labor intensity of farmers and improve the accuracy and uniformity of feeding, making them popular among farmers.

[0003] In automated feeding line systems, the feed line deflector plays an indispensable role. As a mechanical rotating body supporting the feed disc, it effectively reduces the mechanical load friction coefficient during the feed disc transmission process when the feed line changes its extension direction, thus ensuring the stable operation of the feed line system.

[0004] However, existing feed line cornerers have significant drawbacks. Because the cornerer rotates during operation while the feed channel at its lower end remains stationary, this design allows some feed to pass through the gap between the cornerer and the feed channel during the cornering process, gradually accumulating below the cornerer. As the system continues to operate, the amount of accumulated feed increases, causing significant inconvenience for farmers in cleaning the feed and easily leading to blockages. Once a blockage occurs, the cornerer will malfunction, affecting the operation of the entire automatic feeding line system, reducing livestock production efficiency, and increasing equipment maintenance costs and farming risks. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a feed corner conveying device. The corner conveying device can facilitate the smooth movement of the conveying components in the corner conveying channel by setting the corner, avoiding friction and wear. At the same time, the cleaning component in the corner can push the feed flowing to the lower end of the corner until the feed height exceeds the height of the corner and then flows back into the corner conveying channel, avoiding the accumulation of feed under the corner and affecting the rotation of the corner, and also realizing the self-cleaning of the corner.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: a feed corner conveying device is constructed, including a corner conveying disc, with a corner conveying line inside and a first feed pipe and a second feed pipe respectively set at both ends of the line.

[0007] The conveying assembly moves continuously within the first and second feed pipes along the corner conveying line.

[0008] The corner unit is rotatably mounted on the central rod of the corner conveyor plate to support the smooth movement of the conveyor assembly within the corner conveyor line.

[0009] A cleaning assembly is provided inside the corner unit to sweep the feed inside the corner unit to the corner conveyor line.

[0010] Preferably, the conveying assembly includes a flexible traction member and a feeding disc spaced at the outer end of the flexible traction member. The flexible traction member is a closed ring shape. The ring-shaped flexible traction member passes through the first feed pipe, the second feed pipe, and the corner conveying line and is driven by an external traction device to move continuously within the first feed pipe, the second feed pipe, and the corner conveying line. The feeding disc contacts the inner bottom of the first feed pipe, the second feed pipe, and the corner conveying line to push the feed within the feed pipe or the corner conveying line to move.

[0011] Preferably, the corner conveyor plate has an installation groove that is connected to the corner conveyor line, a center rod is fixed in the installation groove, and the corner device is set in the installation groove and its outer end is in contact with the conveying component of the corner conveyor line.

[0012] Preferably, the corner device specifically includes an inner ring, which is sleeved on the outer end of the central rod and is rotatably connected by a bearing;

[0013] The outer ring is coaxially aligned with the inner ring and its outer end is in contact with the conveying assembly.

[0014] Several connecting rods connect the inner and outer rings.

[0015] Preferably, the cleaning component is disposed at the bottom of any one of the connecting rods, and the cleaning component is specifically a soft brush, the bottom of which contacts the mounting groove of the corner conveyor plate.

[0016] Preferably, an arc-shaped baffle is provided at the outer end of the mounting groove of the corner conveyor plate, and the feed inside the corner device is swept to the corner conveyor line by the combination of the arc-shaped baffle and the cleaning component.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. Reduce equipment wear and extend service life: The corner device in the corner conveyor can effectively ensure that the conveying components move stably and smoothly in the corner conveying channel, greatly reducing the coefficient of friction and avoiding wear caused by friction, thereby significantly extending the overall service life of the equipment and ensuring the high efficiency and stability of the equipment in long-term operation.

[0019] 2. Prevents feed accumulation and ensures stable equipment operation: The cleaning components inside the corner conveyor promptly push the feed flowing to the bottom of the corner conveyor, allowing it to overflow the height of the corner conveyor and flow smoothly back into the corner conveying channel. This design effectively avoids feed accumulation under the corner conveyor, preventing it from hindering the rotation of the corner conveyor and ensuring that the corner conveyor is always in good operating condition. This, in turn, ensures the stable and continuous operation of the entire corner conveying device, greatly improving the efficiency and reliability of feed conveying.

[0020] 3. Achieve self-cleaning of the corner unit, reducing maintenance costs: The cleaning component enables the corner unit to have a self-cleaning function, eliminating the need for frequent manual cleaning and maintenance, greatly saving manpower, material resources, and time costs. During long-term feed transportation, the corner unit can always maintain a clean state, further optimizing equipment operation performance, reducing the probability of malfunctions caused by dust and material accumulation, and improving production and economic efficiency.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for illustration and explanation of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model in any way. The accompanying drawings in this utility model are only for illustrative purposes and to facilitate understanding of the embodiments and are not intended to limit this utility model in any way.

[0029] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. shown in the accompanying drawings are only for the purpose of assisting those skilled in the art in understanding and reading the content disclosed in the specification, and are not intended to limit the conditions under which the present invention can be implemented.

[0030] As described in the background section, when existing feed line corner conveyors are used for conveying feed at corners, some feed will flow through the gap between the corner conveyor and the feed flow channel to the lower end of the corner conveyor. During the continuous conveying of feed, the excessive accumulation of feed will affect the rotation of the corner conveyor, affecting the feed conveying efficiency and also making it difficult for workers to clean it.

[0031] Based on the above reasons, in order to solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] Please see the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 A feed corner conveying device includes a corner conveying disc 5, which has a corner conveying line 501 inside and a first feed pipe 1 and a second feed pipe 2 respectively at both ends of the line;

[0034] The conveying assembly moves continuously within the first feed pipe 1 and the second feed pipe 2 along the corner conveying line 501;

[0035] The corner device 6 is rotatably mounted on the central rod 8 of the corner conveyor plate 5 to support the smooth movement of the conveyor assembly within the corner conveyor line 501.

[0036] A cleaning assembly is provided inside the corner unit 6 for cleaning the feed inside the corner unit 6 to the corner conveyor line 501.

[0037] In this embodiment, the conveying assembly includes a soft traction member 3 and a feeding disc 4 spaced at the outer end of the soft traction member 3. The feeding disc 4 contacts the inner bottom of the first feed pipe 1, the second feed pipe 2, and the corner conveying line 501 to push the feed in the feed pipe or the corner conveying line 501 to move.

[0038] In this embodiment, the corner device 6 specifically includes an inner ring 601, which is sleeved on the outer end of the central rod 8 and is rotatably connected by a bearing;

[0039] The outer ring 603 is coaxially aligned with the inner ring 601 and its outer end is in contact with the conveying assembly.

[0040] Several connecting rods 602 are connected between the inner ring 601 and the outer ring 603.

[0041] In this embodiment, the cleaning component is disposed at the bottom of any one of the connecting rods 602. Specifically, the cleaning component is a soft brush 604, and the bottom of the soft brush 604 contacts the corner conveyor plate 5.

[0042] During use, the moving conveyor assembly drives the feed in the first feed pipe 1 or the second feed pipe 2 to move. During the movement, the feed flows in the corner conveyor line 501. A small portion of the feed will pass through the gap between the corner conveyor line 501 and the outer end 603 of the corner device 6 and fall onto the corner conveyor plate 5 below the corner device 6. Since the conveyor assembly is in contact with the outer ring 603 and the entire corner device 6 is rotatably mounted on the center rod 8 of the corner conveyor plate 5, the conveyor assembly will drive the corner device 6 to rotate during the movement, thereby avoiding sliding friction between the conveyor assembly and the corner device 6. During the rotation of the corner device 6, the soft brush 604 will rotate on the corner conveyor plate 5. Since the soft brush 604 is in contact with the corner conveyor plate 5, it can push the feed on the corner conveyor plate 5 to move. With the continuous accumulation and movement of the feed, the feed in the corner device 6 will overflow the corner device 6 and eventually flow back into the corner conveyor line 501 for conveying, thus achieving self-cleaning of the corner device and avoiding the accumulation of feed.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] Please see the appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 Based on the contact of Embodiment 1, in order to achieve continuous conveying of feed by the conveying component, the soft traction member 3 is a closed ring shape. The ring-shaped soft traction member 3 passes through the first feed pipe 1, the second feed pipe 2 and the corner conveying line 501 and is driven by an external traction device to move continuously within the first feed pipe 1, the second feed pipe 2 and the corner conveying line 501.

[0045] From the appendix Figure 3 As can be seen, the soft traction component 3 is a rectangular ring, and its traction device can be an active dial with a cylindrical pin installed in the grooved wheel mechanism. By rotating the active dial, the cylindrical pin is driven to rotate around the rotation center. One end of the cylindrical pin contacts the feeding plate 4 of the conveying component, which can push the feeding plate 4 to move within the preset conveying path. Thus, the movement of the entire conveying component is realized under the traction of the soft traction component 3.

[0046] Example 3:

[0047] Please refer to the appendix again. Figure 1 and attached Figure 4 Based on Embodiment 1, in order to facilitate the installation of the corner device 6 and to allow the feed piled under the corner device 6 to pass over the corner device 6 and enter the corner conveying line 501 for conveying, the corner conveying plate 5 is provided with an installation groove 502 that is connected to the corner conveying line 501. A center rod 8 is fixed in the installation groove 502. The soft brush 604 is in contact with the installation groove 502. The corner device 6 is set in the installation groove 502 and its outer end is in contact with the conveying component of the corner conveying line 501.

[0048] Example 4:

[0049] Please continue to refer to the appendix. Figure 1 and attached Figure 4 Based on Embodiment 1, in order to prevent the feed accumulated below the corner device 6 from overflowing and spilling outwards when it moves, and to ensure that the feed that overflows the corner device 6 can flow back into the corner conveying line 501, an arc-shaped baffle 7 is provided at the outer end of the mounting groove 502 of the corner conveying plate 5. The feed inside the corner device 6 is swept into the corner conveying line 501 by the combination of the arc-shaped baffle 7 and the cleaning component.

[0050] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made under the technical spirit of the present utility model should fall within the patent scope covered by the present utility model.
