Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of feed transfer technology, specifically a feed raw material transfer hopper. Background Technology
[0002] Feed ingredient transfer is an important part of the feed production process, which usually involves transporting raw materials from warehouses, raw material storage areas or suppliers to the feeding devices of the production line. Currently, existing technologies typically use transfer buckets for this transfer.
[0003] During the transfer process, especially for pelleted feed or powdered raw materials, the feed is easy to spill from the edge of the transfer hopper. This spilled feed will cause waste, especially in large-scale production, where the cost of such waste will be very high. In addition, the easy spillage of feed raw materials in the workshop will not only pollute the workshop environment, but also increase the amount of cleaning. To avoid feed spillage during the transfer process, a feed raw material transfer hopper is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a feed material transfer hopper that can prevent feed from spilling out of the hopper during the transfer process, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the workshop during the transfer.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a feed raw material transfer hopper, comprising a transfer device and a leak-proof mechanism. The transfer device includes a transfer hopper body, a first anti-friction coating, and a second anti-friction coating. The leak-proof mechanism includes a leak-proof baffle rotatably sleeved on the inner wall of the transfer hopper body. A worm gear is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft end of the leak-proof baffle. A worm is rotatably connected to one side of the transfer hopper body via a bracket. The worm meshes with the worm gear. An auxiliary mechanism is provided on the outside of the transfer hopper body. The auxiliary mechanism includes a vibration motor fixedly connected to the back of the transfer hopper body.
[0006] The above solution effectively prevents feed leakage during transport by using an anti-leakage mechanism. Rotating the worm gear drives the worm wheel, which in turn rotates the anti-leakage baffle, adjusting its position. This prevents feed from spilling from the edge of the transport hopper and avoids interference with the feeding and discharging processes. The manual rotation of the worm gear is used because inserting the device into the feed pile during feeding could damage electrical components on the outside of the transport hopper. The vibration mechanism promotes feed flow, reducing excessive or uneven accumulation of feed inside the transport hopper and preventing blockages and overflows.
[0007] Furthermore, a knob is fixedly connected to the shaft end of the worm gear, and the outer surface of the knob is provided with an anti-slip layer.
[0008] The above solution increases the contact area at the worm shaft end, making it easier to rotate the worm.
[0009] Furthermore, the first anti-friction coating is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the transfer bucket body, and the inner wall of the transfer bucket body is fixedly connected to a second anti-friction coating. The first and second anti-friction coatings are polyethylene coatings.
[0010] The above solution reduces friction between feed and the inner wall of the transfer hopper, lowers the possibility of feed accumulation, and extends the service life of the transfer hopper. The second anti-friction coating further reduces friction on the bottom surface of the transfer hopper, making it more durable.
[0011] Furthermore, the inner wall of the leak-proof baffle is inlaid with an observation window.
[0012] The above method allows for easy monitoring of the feed content inside the transfer hopper, preventing overloading.
[0013] Furthermore, two servo motors are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transfer bucket body, and an auger is fixedly connected to the output end of each servo motor. Both augers are located inside the transfer bucket body.
[0014] With the above solution, when the two servo motors are started, they will drive the two screw conveyors to rotate, which will facilitate the quick collection of feed into the transfer hopper body and avoid blockage. At the same time, when the two servo motors are started in reverse, the feed can be quickly transferred from the transfer hopper body to the feeding device, making it more convenient to use.
[0015] Furthermore, two connecting plates are fixedly connected to the back of the transfer bucket body, and each connecting plate has a positioning hole on its outer surface.
[0016] The above solution allows for easy connection of the device to a transport vehicle, facilitating the transfer of feed ingredients.
[0017] Furthermore, rubber pads are fixedly connected to the sides of the two connecting plates that are close to each other.
[0018] The above solution can reduce the vibration and shaking generated during the movement of the transfer vehicle, thereby ensuring the stability of the feed in the transfer hopper and preventing it from scattering or leaking.
[0019] Furthermore, reinforcing plates are fixedly connected to both corners of the inner wall of the transfer bucket.
[0020] The above solution can enhance the rigidity of the transfer bucket body and prevent tilting or deformation caused by uneven weight of raw materials or transfer vibration.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] This feed transfer hopper employs a highly efficient leak-proof mechanism to effectively prevent feed spillage during transfer. By rotating a worm gear to drive a worm wheel, the leak-proof baffle rotates, thus adjusting its position. Adjusting the baffle position prevents feed from spilling from the hopper's edge without affecting feeding and discharging. The reason for manually rotating the worm gear is that electric drive could damage the electrical components on the outside of the hopper when inserting it into the feed pile; manual operation avoids this. Furthermore, the device is equipped with a vibration motor to promote feed flow, preventing excessive or uneven internal accumulation and thus preventing blockages and spills. In summary, this transfer hopper design features leak-proof operation, ease of use, and effective promotion of feed flow, improving feed transfer efficiency and safety. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This embodiment of a feed material transfer hopper includes a transfer device 1 and a leak-proof mechanism 2. The transfer device 1 includes a transfer hopper body 101, a first anti-friction coating 102, and a second anti-friction coating 103. The first anti-friction coating 102 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the transfer hopper body 101, and the second anti-friction coating 103 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the transfer hopper body 101. The first anti-friction coating 102 and the second anti-friction coating 103 are polyethylene coatings. The first anti-friction coating 102 reduces the friction between the feed and the inner wall of the transfer hopper body 101, reduces the possibility of feed accumulation, and avoids problems, while extending the service life of the transfer hopper body 101. The second anti-friction coating 103 reduces the friction on the bottom surface of the transfer hopper body 101, making it more durable. Reinforcing plates 6 are fixedly connected to the two corners of the inner wall of the transfer hopper body 101. The reinforcing plates 6 enhance the rigidity of the transfer hopper body 101 and prevent tilting or deformation caused by uneven weight of raw materials or transfer vibration.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The leak-proof mechanism 2 includes a leak-proof baffle 201 rotatably fitted onto the inner wall of the transfer hopper body 101. An observation window 202 is embedded in the inner wall of the leak-proof baffle 201, allowing easy observation of the feed content inside the transfer hopper body 101 to prevent overloading. A worm gear 203 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft end of the leak-proof baffle 201. A worm 204 is rotatably connected to one side of the transfer hopper body 101 via a bracket. The worm 204 meshes with the worm gear 203. When the worm 204 rotates, it drives the worm gear 203 to rotate. The rotation of the worm gear 203 adjusts the position of the leak-proof baffle 201. Furthermore, the combination of the worm gear 203 and the worm 204 has a self-locking effect, allowing the leak-proof baffle 201 to be adjusted and locked in place, preventing arbitrary rotation. Thus, when the leak-proof baffle 201 is adjusted to its desired position... Figure 1 When the indicated state is reached, feeding or discharging can begin. When the leak-proof baffle 201 is adjusted to the desired position... Figure 3Once the indicated state is reached, the transfer operation can begin. Since the anti-leakage baffle 201 directly blocks the opening end of the transfer hopper body 101, the feed will not spill from the edge of the transfer hopper body 101 during the transfer process, ensuring the cleanliness of the workshop during the transfer. A knob 205 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft end of the worm gear 204. The outer surface of the knob 205 is provided with an anti-slip layer. By setting the knob 205, the contact area of the rotating shaft end of the worm gear 204 can be increased, making it easier to rotate the worm gear 204.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 An auxiliary mechanism 3 is provided on the outside of the transfer hopper body 101. The auxiliary mechanism 3 includes a vibration motor 303 fixedly connected to the back of the transfer hopper body 101. When the vibration motor 303 is started, it can vibrate the feed inside the transfer hopper body 101, promote feed flow, and make the feed evenly accumulate inside the transfer hopper body 101, avoiding blockage and overflow. Two servo motors 301 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transfer hopper body 101. Each servo motor 301 has an auger 302 fixedly connected to its output end. Both augers 302 are located inside the transfer hopper body 101. When the two servo motors 301 are started, they will drive the two augers 302 to rotate, thereby facilitating the rapid transfer of feed. The feed is collected in the transfer hopper body 101 to avoid blockage. When the two servo motors 301 are started in reverse, the feed can be quickly transferred from the transfer hopper body 101 to the feeding device, making it more convenient to use. Two connecting plates 4 are fixedly connected to the back of the transfer hopper body 101. Each connecting plate 4 has a positioning hole on its outer surface. The connecting plates 4 can be used to easily connect the device to the transfer vehicle, which facilitates the transfer of feed raw materials. Rubber pads 5 are fixedly connected to the side of the two connecting plates 4 that are close to each other. The rubber pads 5 can reduce the vibration and shaking generated during the movement of the transfer vehicle, thereby ensuring the stability of the feed in the transfer hopper and preventing it from scattering or leaking.
[0033] It should be noted that the auxiliary mechanism 3 uses electrical components because the back of the transfer bucket body 101 will not come into contact with the feed pile, and therefore will not be easily damaged.
[0034] In this embodiment, a feed raw material transfer hopper, through the provided anti-leakage mechanism 2, can effectively prevent feed leakage during the transfer process. When the worm gear 204 is rotated, it can drive the worm wheel 203 to rotate. The rotation of the worm wheel 203 can drive the anti-leakage baffle 201 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the anti-leakage baffle 201. By adjusting the position of the anti-leakage baffle 201, it is possible to prevent feed from spilling from the edge of the transfer hopper body 101 during the transfer process, and also to avoid affecting the feeding and discharging process. The reason for using manual rotation of the worm gear 204 is that when feeding, the device needs to be inserted into the feed pile. During the insertion process, it may damage the electrical components on the outside of the transfer hopper body 101. Therefore, a manual method is used to achieve the above-mentioned effects. At the same time, the provided vibration motor 303 can promote feed flow, reduce the excessive or uneven accumulation of feed inside the transfer hopper body 101, and avoid blockage and overflow.
[0035] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: the device is connected to the transfer vehicle via the connecting plate 4 and the rubber pad 5. In the initial state, the device is as follows: Figure 1 In the first step, the operator can drive a transfer vehicle to insert the device into the piled feed. The feed will enter the transfer hopper body 101. Then, the two servo motors 301 are activated, which drive the two augers 302 to rotate, thus preventing feed from clogging at one end of the transfer hopper body 101 and allowing the feed to enter the transfer hopper body 101 more evenly. Then, the servo motors 301 are stopped, and the worm gear 204 is rotated to make the anti-leakage baffle 201 rotate toward the opening end of the transfer device 1. When the worm gear 204 is rotated, it can drive the worm wheel 203 to rotate. The worm wheel 203 and the worm gear 204 have a self-locking effect, which can adjust the anti-leakage baffle 201 to a suitable position and limit it. Then, the anti-leakage baffle 201 is adjusted to the appropriate position. Figure 3Once the desired state is reached, start the vibration motor 303. The vibration of the vibration motor 303 will evenly spread the feed inside the transfer hopper body 101. After completing the above work, stop the vibration motor 303. Then, move the transfer vehicle to drive the device to transfer the feed. During the transfer process, since the anti-leakage baffle 201 directly blocks the opening of the transfer hopper body 101, and the feed inside is evenly spread inside the transfer hopper body 101 by the vibration of the vibration motor 303, the feed will not spill from the edge during the transfer process. When unloading is required, the worm gear 204 can be rotated again to remove the anti-leakage baffle 201 from blocking the opening of the transfer hopper body 101. Then, start the two servo motors 301 in reverse. With the help of the rotation of the two screw conveyors 302, the feed in the transfer hopper body 101 can be discharged.
