[0031] This invention provides an appendix Figures 1-7In this embodiment of the invention, a pig feed supply device includes a cutting section 10, a buffer section 20, and a mixing section 30 stacked sequentially from top to bottom and interconnected. The cutting section 10 includes a housing 110 and a cutting assembly 120 installed inside the housing 110. A water inlet assembly 40 is installed on the outer surface of the housing 110, and the outlet of the water inlet assembly 40 is connected to the mixing section 30. The buffer section 20 has a receiving surface 210 inside, which connects the cutting section 10 and the mixing section 30. A position sensor 310 is installed on the inner wall of the mixing section 30. The mixing section 30 is used to hold feed. A valve 330 and a first driving member 320 are provided at the bottom of the mixing section 30. The first driving member 320 and the valve 330 are kinetically connected, and the first driving member 320 and the position sensor 310 are electrically connected. When the feed in the mixing section 30 reaches the position limited by the position sensor 310, the first driving member 320 controls the valve 330 to open.
[0032] Specifically, the pig feed supply device is cylindrical in shape, with a cutting section 10, a buffer section 20, and a mixing section 30 stacked sequentially from top to bottom. The cutting section 10 is connected to the buffer section 20, and the buffer section 20 is connected to the mixing section 30. The cutting section 10 includes a housing 110 and a cutting assembly 120. The housing 110 is cylindrical and surrounds the cutting assembly 120. The cutting assembly 120 is installed inside the housing 110 and is used to cut and grind pig feed. Placing the housing 110 outside the cutting assembly 120 provides sufficient space to hold the pig feed, preventing it from splashing or falling during cutting. A water inlet assembly 40 is also installed on the outer surface of the housing 110. The water inlet assembly 40 is cuboid in shape, and its lower outlet is connected to the mixing section 30. The buffer section 20 has a receiving surface 210 that connects the cutting section 10 and the mixing section 30. A position sensor 310 is installed on the upper inner wall of the mixing section 30. The position sensor 310 can sense whether the pig feed in the mixing section 30 has reached a set height. The mixing section 30 is cylindrical and is used to hold the pig feed. A valve 330 and a first drive component 320 are installed at the bottom of the mixing section 30. The first drive component 320 and the valve 330 are connected by a drive mechanism, and the first drive component 320 can drive the valve 330 to open and close. In addition, the first drive component 320 and the position sensor 310 are electrically connected. When the pig feed accumulates to a certain height in the mixing section 30, the position sensor 310 will release a signal to the first drive component 320. The first drive component 320 integrates a drive controller and a drive device. The signal is sent to the drive controller, which controls the operation of the drive device. At the same time, the drive device drives the valve 330 to open, and the pig feed is poured out through the valve 330. This design not only automates the pig feed supply process, but also ensures the accuracy and stability of the pig feed feeding amount.
[0033] The cutting assembly 120 includes a positioning bracket 121, a second driving member 122, and a blade 123; the positioning bracket 121 is installed inside the cutting section 10, the second driving member 122 is fixedly connected to the positioning bracket 121, and the blade 123 is drivenly connected to the driving end of the second driving member 122.
[0034] Specifically, a positioning bracket 121 is provided inside the cutting section 10. The positioning bracket 121 consists of a central rotating shaft and four support rods, which are used to fix the second driving member 122. With the central rotating shaft as the center, the blades 123 are radially distributed. This structure ensures that the various components of the cutting assembly 120 maintain a firm and stable position, preventing uneven force distribution that could cause the entire device to shake during blade 123 operation. The second driving member 122 is mounted on the central rotating shaft of the positioning bracket 121 and is fixedly connected to it. The blades 123 and the driving end of the second driving member 122 are connected by a transmission mechanism. The second driving member 122 can drive the blades to rotate, thus eliminating the need for manual cutting of pig feed raw materials, reducing labor input and lowering labor costs.
[0035] The second drive unit 122 includes at least one motor 1221.
[0036] Specifically, the number of motors 1221 in the second drive unit 122 is not limited; one or more can be set. The number of blades is also not limited; one layer or multiple layers of blades can be used. Simultaneously, each motor 1221 is connected to a layer of blades 123, and each motor 1221 can control one layer of blades 123 and drive the blades 1221 in that layer to rotate. Since each motor 1221 independently controls one layer of blades 123, the speed, direction, and start / stop of each layer of blades 123 can be precisely controlled for different feed types or quantities, thereby achieving finer and more accurate cutting, grinding, and other processing.
[0037] The receiving surface 210 is a curved surface formed by spiraling downwards around a straight line passing through the center of the buffer section 30.
[0038] Specifically, with the straight line passing through the center of the buffer section 20 as the axis of rotation, the receiving surface 210 descends in a spiral manner, eventually forming a curved surface similar to a slide. This structure mainly buffers the impact force during the fall of pig feed, allowing the cut pig feed to slowly enter the mixing section 30.
[0039] The water inlet assembly 40 includes a water tank 420, which is mounted on the outer wall of the cutting part 10. The outlet of the water tank 420 is connected to the mixing part 30. The upper end of the water tank 420 is provided with a first water inlet 430, and the side end of the water tank 420 is provided with a second water inlet 440.
[0040] Specifically, the water tank 420 is rectangular in shape and is mounted on the outer wall of the cutting section 10 for easy observation of the water level. The water outlet is located at the bottom of the water tank 420 and connects to the mixing section 30, allowing water from the water tank 420 to flow into the mixing section 30 and mix with the pig feed. The upper part of the water tank 420 has a first water inlet 430, and the side has a second water inlet 440. Having two or more water inlets allows for simultaneous water intake, greatly accelerating the water injection speed and improving water intake efficiency. Furthermore, the different opening sizes of the multiple water inlets and the different water sources connected at different speeds allow for different water volumes and speeds, flexibly adapting to the water requirements of different quantities or types of pig feed.
[0041] The mixing section 30 is provided with a support bracket 50 at its lower end, and the support bracket 50 is detachably connected to the mixing section 30.
[0042] Specifically, the support bracket 50 provides support for the upper cutting section 10, buffer section 20 and mixing section 30.
[0043] The bottom of the mixing section 30 tapers inward into a funnel shape.
[0044] Specifically, the bottom of the mixing section 30 tapers inward into a funnel shape. The support bracket 50 includes a ring-shaped fixing ring and multiple legs spaced apart and connected to the bottom of the fixing ring, thus forming an installation space between the fixing ring and the multiple legs. The mixing section is mounted on the support bracket 50, with its funnel-shaped bottom extending into the installation space of the support bracket 50. This design ensures that the bottom of the mixing section 30 is tightly installed on the support bracket 50, preventing it from shaking. Furthermore, the mixture of pig feed and water in the mixing section 30 can flow more smoothly and quickly into the feeding trough. A moving chain is installed at the bottom of the feeding trough, and the uniform sliding of the moving chain ensures that each pig is fed.
[0045] In summary, in this application, the cutting unit 10 includes a housing 110 and a cutting assembly 120. The second drive member 122 in the cutting assembly 120 drives the blade 123 to rotate, thereby cutting and crushing the pig feed raw materials. The processed pig feed falls into the mixing unit 30 along the buffer unit 20. At the same time, water in the water tank 420 flows to the mixing unit 30 through the outlet. After the water and pig feed are fully mixed according to the set values and reach a limited height, the limit sensor 310 sends an electrical signal to the first drive member 320. The first drive member 320 directly controls the valve 330 to open, and the mixture of water and pig feed is poured out into the feeding trough. In particular, the water and pig feed in the mixing unit 30 can be poured out according to the height, realizing automatic feeding of pigs, improving pig farming efficiency, and saving labor costs.
