Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed additive production, specifically to an auxiliary material addition device for feed additive production. Background Technology
[0002] Feed additives refer to small or trace amounts of substances added during feed production, processing, and use. Although used in very small quantities, they have significant effects. Feed additives are essential raw materials in the modern feed industry, effectively enhancing the nutritional value of basic feeds, improving animal production performance, ensuring animal health, saving feed costs, and improving the quality of livestock products. In feed additive production, multiple additive devices are installed at different locations on the conveyor line. Different additives are then added sequentially on the conveyor line, which then transports these materials to a mixing device for thorough mixing, completing the preparation of the feed additive. Many feed additive production auxiliary material addition devices consist of inclined conveying hoppers. During use, the auxiliary material slides down the inclined conveying hopper onto the production line. Each time the conveyor line passes through an auxiliary material addition device, a new layer of different auxiliary material is added to complete the addition work. Traditional feed additive production auxiliary material addition devices use inclined conveying hoppers, resulting in slow material discharge speed. Due to friction, the auxiliary material may remain inside the conveying hopper, and the auxiliary material in front may accumulate on the conveyor line after falling. In order to leave enough space for the auxiliary material behind, manual assistance is required to level the auxiliary material on the conveyor line, which is a heavy manual burden. Therefore, we propose an auxiliary material addition device for feed additive production. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide an auxiliary material adding device for feed additive production. It is equipped with a feeding mechanism that can automatically spread the auxiliary material while feeding, which greatly reduces manual intervention. At the same time, the vibration generated by the hammer hitting the feeding hopper can make the auxiliary material fall quickly, which improves the falling efficiency of the auxiliary material and can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary material addition device for feed additive production, comprising a frame, a material collection bin at the upper middle of the frame, and a feeding mechanism;
[0005] Feeding mechanism: A movable frame, a spreading shaft, a spring, a limiting post, a limiting groove, and a striking assembly. The movable frame is slidably connected to the upper part of the inner frame. Sliding grooves are provided on both the left and right side walls of the movable frame, and a feeding hopper is slidably connected between the two sliding grooves. A mounting frame is provided at the front end of the feeding hopper. The spreading shaft is slidably connected to the inside of the mounting frame. A spring is provided between the inner wall of the mounting frame and the middle of the outer surface of the spreading shaft, and the spring is sleeved on the middle of the outer surface of the spreading shaft. The limiting post is located at the upper end of the spreading shaft, and the limiting groove is located in the middle of the lower part of the inner frame. The limiting post and the limiting groove are fitted together to quickly spread the feed. The striking assembly is located on the left and right sides of the spreading shaft, and a feeding mechanism is provided to automatically spread the auxiliary material while feeding, greatly reducing manual intervention. At the same time, the vibration generated by the hammer striking the feeding hopper causes the auxiliary material to fall quickly, improving the falling efficiency of the auxiliary material.
[0006] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes spreading sheets, which are all disposed at the lower end of the outer surface of the spreading shaft. The four spreading sheets are all distributed at an angle to provide a basis for the spreading of auxiliary materials.
[0007] Furthermore, the striking assembly includes connecting columns and hammers. The connecting columns are respectively located on the left and right sides of the middle of the material spreading shaft, and the hammers are located at the rear end of the connecting columns. The hammers are installed in conjunction with the feeding hopper, which can quickly strike the feeding hopper and generate vibration.
[0008] Furthermore, springs are provided between the connecting column and the hammer, and the connecting columns are all inclined inward with the end closest to the material spreading shaft as the center, providing a basis for the impact of the hopper.
[0009] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes a motor, a rack and pinion plate, and a gear. The motor is located at the rear end of the feeding hopper, and the input end of the motor is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller. The rack and pinion plate is located at the lower right side of the moving frame, and the gear is located at the right end of the output shaft of the motor. The rack and pinion plate are meshed together to provide a basis for the reciprocating movement of the feeding hopper.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes hydraulic push rods, which are respectively set on the front and rear sides of the top wall of the frame. The lower ends of the telescopic ends of the hydraulic push rods are fixedly connected to the upper end of the mobile frame. The hydraulic push rods are all connected to an external hydraulic pump station through oil pipes, providing a basis for the lifting and lowering of the hopper.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a microcontroller, which is located in the middle of the lower front end of the frame. The input terminal of the microcontroller is electrically connected to an external power supply to provide control for the material feeding process.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This auxiliary material addition device for feed additive production has the following advantages:
[0013] 1. By moving the hopper back and forth, feed additives and auxiliary materials can be evenly spread on the external conveyor line. By squeezing the limiting column through the limiting groove, the spreading shaft can move back and forth along the trajectory of the limiting groove and swing left and right at the same time, spreading the feed additives and auxiliary materials along the way. This achieves automatic spreading of feed additives and auxiliary materials while feeding, reducing manual intervention.
[0014] 2. The movement of the connecting column drives the hammer to continuously strike the surface of the feeding hopper. The rubber hammer, combined with the elastic deformation of the spring, can increase the amplitude of the feeding hopper without damaging it, thereby effectively improving the feeding speed of feed additives and avoiding the retention of feed additives.

The movable frame 61 is slidably connected to the upper interior of the frame 1. Slide grooves 4 are provided on both the left and right side walls of the movable frame 61. A feeding hopper 3 is slidably connected between the two slide grooves 4. A mounting frame 5 is provided at the front end of the feeding hopper 3. The spreading shaft 62 is slidably connected to the interior of the mounting frame 5. A spring 63 is provided between the inner wall of the mounting frame 5 and the middle of the outer surface of the spreading shaft 62. The spring 63 is sleeved on the middle of the outer surface of the spreading shaft 62. The limiting post 64 is located at the upper end of the spreading shaft 62, and the limiting groove 65 is located on the movable frame 61. The lower center of the inner part of the feed feeding mechanism 6 has a wavy groove 65. The limiting post 64 is installed in conjunction with the limiting groove 65. The outer surface of the limiting post 64 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 65. In order to quickly spread the feed, the feeding mechanism 6 also includes spreading plates 66. The spreading plates 66 are all set at the lower end of the outer surface of the spreading shaft 62. The four spreading plates 66 are all inclinedly distributed to provide a foundation for spreading the auxiliary material. The striking components 67 are respectively set on the left and right sides of the spreading shaft 62. The striking components 67 include connecting posts 671 and hammers 672. The connecting posts 671 are respectively set on the left and right sides of the middle part of the spreading shaft 62. The hammers 672 are set on the connecting posts 671 and 672. At the rear end of 71, the hammer 672 is made of rubber. The hammer 672 is installed in conjunction with the feeding hopper 3, allowing for rapid striking of the feeding hopper 3 and generating vibration. A spring 673 is installed between the connecting column 671 and the hammer 672. The connecting columns 671 are all inclined inwards with the end closest to the feeding shaft 62 as the center, providing a foundation for the striking of the feeding hopper 3. The feeding mechanism 6 also includes a motor 681, a rack plate 682, and a gear 683. The motor 681 is located at the rear end of the feeding hopper 3, and its input end is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller 8. The rack plate 682 is located on the lower right side of the moving frame 61, and the gear 683 is located between the motor and the feed shaft 682. The right end of the output shaft of 681 is connected to the rack plate 682 and the gear 683, providing a basis for the reciprocating movement of the feeding hopper 3. It also includes hydraulic push rods 7, which are respectively set on the front and rear sides of the top wall of the frame 1. The lower ends of the telescopic ends of the hydraulic push rods 7 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the moving frame 61. The hydraulic push rods 7 are all connected to the external hydraulic pump station through oil pipes, providing a basis for the lifting and lowering of the feeding hopper 3. A feeding mechanism 6 is provided, which can automatically flatten the auxiliary materials while feeding, greatly reducing manual intervention. At the same time, the vibration generated by the hammer 672 hitting the feeding hopper 3 can make the auxiliary materials fall quickly, improving the falling efficiency of the auxiliary materials.
[0022] The working principle of the feed additive production auxiliary material addition device provided by this utility model is as follows: During feed additive production, various auxiliary materials need to be added to an external conveyor line. The external conveyor line passes through the middle of the frame 1 and is distributed horizontally from left to right. The auxiliary materials are transported to the inside of the collection bin 2 through external pipes, then flow into the inside of the feeding hopper 3 from the lower end of the collection bin 2, and then flow from the outlet of the inclined feeding hopper 3 to the top of the external conveyor line. During this process, the external hydraulic pump station works, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic push rod 7 extends downward, driving the moving frame 61 to move downward, and the feeding hopper 3 also moves downward. When the feeding hopper 3 moves to a suitable height, the microcontroller 8 controls the motor 681 to operate. The output shaft of the motor 681 drives the gear 683 to rotate. Since the rack plate 682 and the gear 683 are meshed, the feeding hopper 3 can move back and forth as the gear 683 rotates. The hopper 3 moves backward when the motor 681 rotates forward and reverses when the motor 681 rotates backward. The hopper 3 moves forward when the motor 681 rotates backward. The hopper 3 spreads the auxiliary material above the external conveyor line through the back-and-forth movement of the hopper 3. As the hopper 3 moves, the spreading shaft 62 also moves. The limiting groove 65 squeezes the limiting post 64, so that the spreading shaft 62 can swing left and right while moving back and forth along the trajectory of the limiting groove 65. The spreading sheet 66 also swings, spreading the auxiliary material on the external conveyor line along the way and preventing the auxiliary material from piling up too high. At the same time, as the spreading shaft 62 swings left and right, the connecting post 671 also moves, driving the hammer 672 to continuously strike the surface of the hopper 3, so that the hopper 3 forms a vibration effect. The rubber hammer 672, together with the elastic deformation of the spring 673, can enhance the amplitude of the hopper 3 without damaging it, effectively improving the feeding speed of the auxiliary material.
[0023] It is worth noting that the microcontroller 8 disclosed in the above embodiments is an S7-200 microcontroller, and the motor 681 is an STP-42D4045 motor. The microcontroller 8 controls the operation of the motor 681 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
