Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of feed inlets for feed production lines, specifically a feed inlet for a feed production line. Background Technology

[0002] Feed is a general term for the food consumed by all domesticated animals. In a narrower sense, feed mainly refers to the food consumed by animals raised in agriculture or animal husbandry. Feed includes more than ten kinds of feed ingredients such as soybeans, soybean meal, corn, fish meal, amino acids, miscellaneous meals, whey powder, oils, meat and bone meal, grains, and feed additives.

[0003] In existing feed production lines, the feeding port is usually located at the top of the production equipment. Workers open the cover and pour the raw materials into the feeding port.

[0004] However, existing feed production lines may generate a lot of dust when workers pour raw materials into the feed inlet. Excessive dust will affect the working environment of the workers, and working in dusty places for a long time will cause certain harm to their health. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a feeding port for a feed production line, which solves the problem that a large amount of dust may be generated during the process of workers pouring in raw materials. Excessive dust will affect the working environment of workers, and prolonged work in dusty areas will cause certain health hazards.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feeding port for a feed production line, comprising a mixing box, the top of which is fixedly connected to a cover plate by bolts, and feeding devices provided on both sides above the cover plate. Each feeding device includes: a feeding box connected to the inner wall of the cover plate; a feeding pipe connected at one end to the top of the feeding box; a feeding hopper connected to the other end of the feeding pipe; two dust baffles, rotatably connected to the inner walls of the feeding hopper via pins, with their closest sides touching; a torsion spring installed between the feeding hopper and the dust baffles; and a material control unit located inside the feeding box. The feeding hopper is fitted with the dust baffles and the torsion springs. During feeding, the raw material, under the action of the torsion springs, causes the two dust baffles to rotate, allowing the raw material to pass through the dust baffles into the feeding hopper, then through the feeding pipe into the feeding box, and finally fed by the material control unit.

[0007] Preferably, the material control unit includes: a cavity formed on the inner wall of the cover plate; a guide plate in the shape of a cross, rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feed box via a sealed bearing, and one end extending into the interior of the cavity; a first servo motor fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity, and fixedly connected to the end of the guide plate located inside the cavity; wherein, the cavity houses the first servo motor, and the output end of the first servo motor drives the guide plate to rotate, thereby guiding the raw materials falling into the feed box.

[0008] Preferably, the mixing chamber is provided with a mixing mechanism, which includes: a second servo motor, fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the mixing chamber, and the output end passing through the outer wall of the mixing chamber through a tight bearing; and a mixing rod, fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor; wherein the servo motor controls the mixing rod to rotate, and mixes the different raw materials coming in from the two feed boxes.

[0009] Preferably, a support rod is fixedly connected between the cover plate and the hopper.

[0010] Preferably, mounting ears are fixedly connected to both ends of the outer wall of the mixing box.

[0011] Beneficial effects

[0012] This utility model provides a feeding port for a feed production line. It has the following beneficial effects: Through the cooperation of a feeding pipe, a torsion spring, and a dust baffle, when raw materials need to be poured in, the materials fall through the opening at the top of the feeding hopper and land on top of the dust baffle. Due to the weight of the raw materials, the dust baffle deforms the torsion spring, creating a gap between the two dust baffles, allowing the raw materials to continue falling. When not pouring, the two dust baffles return to their original position under the action of the torsion spring, preventing dust from spreading outwards and effectively preventing dust from drifting into the outside world.

[0013] Through the cooperation between the guide plate, the cavity and the first servo motor, when the raw material enters the feeding box, it will fall to the top of the guide plate. The first servo motor is started, and the output end of the first servo motor drives the guide plate to rotate, so that the raw material falling on the guide plate can fall into the interior of the mixing box in sequence, which plays a certain guiding role in the entry of the raw material.

[0019] 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.

[0020] The existing feed production line may generate a lot of dust when workers pour raw materials into the feed inlet. Excessive dust will affect the working environment of the workers, and working in a dusty place for a long time will cause certain health hazards.

[0021] In view of this, the present invention provides a feeding port for a feed production line. Through the cooperation of the feeding pipe, torsion spring and dust baffle, when raw materials need to be poured in, the raw materials fall through the opening at the top of the feeding hopper and fall onto the top of the dust baffle. Due to the weight of the raw materials, the dust baffle deforms the torsion spring, creating a gap between the two dust baffles, allowing the raw materials to continue falling. When no material is being poured in, the two dust baffles reset under the action of the torsion spring, preventing dust from spreading outward and effectively preventing dust from drifting into the outside world.

[0022] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.

[0023] Example 1: By Figure 1-4It is known that a feeding port for a feed production line includes a mixing box 1. A cover plate 11 is bolted to the top of the mixing box 1. Feeding devices 2 are provided on both sides of the top of the cover plate 11. The feeding devices 2 include: a feeding box 21 connected to the inner wall of the cover plate 11; a feeding pipe 22, one end of which is connected to the top of the feeding box 21; a feeding hopper 23 connected to the other end of the feeding pipe 22; and two dust baffles 24, which are rotatably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the feeding hopper 23 via pins. The sides that are close to each other are attached together; a torsion spring 25 is installed between the hopper 23 and the dust baffle 24; a material control unit 26 is set inside the feed box 21; wherein, the hopper 23 is equipped with the dust baffle 24 and the torsion spring 25. When feeding, the raw material is rotated by the action of the torsion spring 25, and the raw material enters the hopper 23 through the dust baffle 24, enters the feed box 21 through the feeding pipe 22, and is fed by the material control unit 26;

[0024] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that when raw materials need to be poured in, the raw materials fall through the opening at the top of the hopper 23 and fall back to the top of the dust baffle 24. Due to the weight of the raw materials, the dust baffle 24 will deform the torsion spring 25, creating a gap between the two dust baffles 24, allowing the raw materials to continue falling. When no material is being poured in, the two dust baffles 24 will reset under the action of the torsion spring 25 to prevent dust from spreading outward and effectively prevent dust from drifting into the outside. Of course, in order to ensure that the two dust baffles 24 do not rotate excessively under the action of the torsion spring 25 and to ensure that the ends fit together, a limiting component fixed to the inner wall of the hopper 23 can be set at the top of the dust baffle 24.

[0025] Furthermore, the material control unit 26 includes: a cavity 261, formed on the inner wall of the cover plate 11; a guide plate 262, in the shape of a cross, rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feed box 21 via a sealed bearing, with one end extending into the cavity 261; and a first servo motor 263, fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity 261, and fixedly connected to the end of the guide plate 262 located inside the cavity 261; wherein the cavity 261 houses the first servo motor 263, and the output end of the first servo motor 263 drives the guide plate 262 to rotate, thereby guiding the raw materials falling into the feed box 21.

[0026] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that after the raw materials enter the feed box 21, they will fall to the top of the guide plate 262. The first servo motor 263 is started, and the output end of the first servo motor 263 drives the guide plate 262 to rotate, so that the raw materials falling on the guide plate 262 can fall into the interior of the mixing box 1 in sequence, which plays a certain guiding role in the entry of raw materials. An inspection door structure and heat dissipation holes can be set at the top of the cavity 261 to facilitate the maintenance and heat dissipation of the first servo motor 263.

[0027] Specifically, when using the feed production line's feeding port, when raw materials need to be poured in, the raw materials fall through the opening at the top of the hopper 23 and back to the top of the dust baffle 24. Due to the weight of the raw materials, the dust baffle 24 deforms the torsion spring 25, creating a gap between the two dust baffles 24, allowing the raw materials to continue falling. When no material is being poured in, the two dust baffles 24 reset under the action of the torsion spring 25, preventing dust from spreading outwards and effectively preventing dust from drifting into the outside. After the raw materials enter the feed box 21, they fall to the top of the guide plate 262. The first servo motor 263 is activated, and the output end of the first servo motor 263 drives the guide plate 262 to rotate, allowing the raw materials falling on the guide plate 262 to fall sequentially into the mixing box 1, thus playing a certain guiding role in the entry of the raw materials.

[0028] Example 2: From Figure 1-4 It is known that the mixing box 1 is equipped with a mixing mechanism 3. The mixing mechanism 3 includes: a second servo motor 31, which is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the mixing box 1, and the output end passes through the outer wall of the mixing box 1 through a tight bearing; a mixing rod 32, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the second servo motor 31; wherein, the second servo motor 31 controls the mixing rod 32 to rotate, and mixes the different raw materials that come in from the two feed boxes 21.

[0029] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that starting the second servo motor 31 to drive the mixing rod 32 to rotate, and mixing the different raw materials falling into the mixing box 1, can better carry out production.

[0030] Furthermore, a support rod 4 is fixedly connected between the cover plate 11 and the hopper 23;

[0031] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the support rod 4 can effectively support the hopper 23 and avoid instability caused by gravity.

[0032] Furthermore, mounting ears 5 are fixedly connected to both ends of the outer wall of the mixing box 1;

[0033] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that by installing ear 5, the entire feeding port can be installed on the top of the production device;

[0034] Specifically, based on the above embodiment one, the second servo motor 31 is started to drive the mixing rod 32 to rotate, and the different raw materials falling into the mixing box 1 are mixed to improve production. The support rod 4 can effectively support the feeding hopper 23 to avoid instability caused by weight. The feeding ear 5 can be installed on the top of the production device.
