Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed processing technology, specifically to a mixing device for feed processing. 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. This feed includes grass, various grains, tubers, roots, etc. Feed processing involves a series of treatments, such as crushing, mixing, and pelleting, to produce feed products suitable for animal consumption. Mixing is a crucial step in feed processing, aiming to combine different feed ingredients in a specific ratio to meet the nutritional needs of animals. The quality of mixing directly affects feed quality, animal growth performance, and feed utilization.
[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN220071476U discloses a mixing device for feed processing, including a mixing box, a mixing component, and a cleaning component. By starting a second motor, the main stirring shaft rotates, causing the main stirring blades and the main gear to rotate simultaneously. The main gear simultaneously drives the driven gear to rotate, causing the driven stirring shaft to drive the driven stirring blades to rotate. This, in conjunction with the main stirring blades, achieves the mixing effect on the feed. After mixing, the collection box is placed below the discharge port, and the baffle is pulled out for cleaning. Simultaneously, the first motor is started, driving the first threaded rod to rotate forward. This drives the scraper downward through the threaded through-hole. The scraper moves on a sliding rod through a second circular through-hole, preventing the scraper from shifting. The scraper scrapes the feed adsorbed on the inner wall, causing it to fall from the discharge port into the collection box. After discharge, the slider is aligned with the chute, and the cleaned baffle is pushed into the installation slot for future use. This allows the equipment to quickly clean the inner wall, reducing resource waste and improving production efficiency.
[0004] When the above-mentioned patent is used, the feed to be processed enters the mixing box directly through the feed inlet. It does not take into account that when too much feed is added at once, it is easy to cause the feed to not be fully mixed in a short time, resulting in a decrease in feed mixing uniformity, uneven distribution of nutrients in the feed, and animals cannot obtain balanced nutrition when eating, thus affecting the growth, development and production performance of the animals. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, a mixing device for feed processing is provided. By incorporating an intermittent feeding component for intermittently feeding raw materials into the mixing tank, the technical problem of decreased feed mixing uniformity when too much feed is added at once is easily solved.
[0006] To address the problems of existing technologies, this utility model provides a mixing device for feed processing, including a mixing tank. The bottom of the mixing tank is provided with supporting feet. A feed pipe is installed on one side of the mixing tank, and an intermittent feeding component is provided on the feed pipe for intermittently feeding feed ingredients into the mixing tank. The bottom of the mixing tank also has a discharge port, on which a solenoid valve is installed. A first motor is installed on the top of the mixing tank, and a rotating rod is installed at the output end of the first motor. A stirring rod is installed on the rotating rod, and a cleaning component is also provided on the rotating rod to prevent feed ingredients from adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank.
[0007] Preferably, the intermittent feeding assembly includes a fixed plate and a second motor; the fixed plate is disposed at the top of the feeding pipe; the second motor is disposed on one side of the fixed plate, a turntable is disposed at the output end of the second motor, a fixed column is disposed on one side of the turntable, a slide rail is disposed on the side of the fixed plate away from the second motor, a movable plate is disposed in the slide rail, an arc-shaped groove is provided on the movable plate for the fixed column to move, a connecting block is disposed at the bottom of the movable plate, a sealing plate is disposed at the bottom of the connecting block, and a rectangular through hole is also provided on the feeding pipe for the sealing plate to move.
[0008] Preferably, the sealing plate is provided with limit sliders on both sides, and the inner wall of the feed pipe is provided with a limit groove for the limit sliders to move.
[0009] Preferably, the cleaning assembly includes a rotating ring; the rotating ring is rotatably disposed on the inner wall of the mixing tank, and the rotating rod is further provided with a rotating component for driving the rotating ring to rotate. An extension block is provided on the inner side of the rotating ring, a smooth rod is vertically disposed at the bottom of the extension block, an mounting block is disposed on the smooth rod, and a scraper is disposed at one end of the mounting block.
[0010] Preferably, the rotating component includes a fixed ring; the fixed ring is disposed on the rotating rod at the top of the stirring rod, a crossbar is disposed on the outer side of the fixed ring, a fixing block is disposed at one end of the crossbar, and the bottom of the fixing block is connected to the top of the rotating ring.

[0013] The advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are:
[0014] 1. By starting the second motor, the turntable is driven to rotate, and the fixed column on the turntable rotates accordingly and moves along the arc groove on the moving plate. Since the shape and size of the arc groove match the fixed column, the movement of the fixed column in the arc groove will drive the moving plate to slide back and forth along the slide rail. The back and forth sliding of the moving plate drives the sealing plate to move back and forth through the connecting block, thereby realizing the intermittent feeding of feed raw materials, ensuring that the feed is evenly distributed in the mixing bucket, and avoiding uneven mixing caused by adding too much feed at one time.
[0015] 2. By activating the rotating component, the rotating ring is driven to rotate. As the rotating ring rotates, the extension block and the polished rod also move. The mounting block on the polished rod drives the scraper to slide on the inner wall of the mixing barrel, scraping off the residues adhering to the inner wall of the mixing barrel, thereby improving the uniformity of mixing and product quality.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] See Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a mixing device for feed processing, including a mixing tank 1, a support foot 2 at the bottom of the mixing tank 1, a feed pipe 3 installed on one side of the mixing tank 1, an intermittent feeding component 4 for intermittently feeding feed ingredients into the mixing tank 1 on the feed pipe 3, a discharge port 5 at the bottom of the mixing tank 1, a solenoid valve 6 on the discharge port 5, a first motor 7 at the top of the mixing tank 1, a rotating rod 8 at the output end of the first motor 7, a stirring rod 9 on the rotating rod 8, and a cleaning component 10 on the rotating rod 8 to prevent feed ingredients from adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1.
[0025] The feed ingredients to be processed are fed into the mixing tank 1 through the feed pipe 3. The intermittent feeding component 4 controls the feed amount, ensuring even distribution of the feed ingredients within the mixing tank 1 and preventing uneven mixing caused by adding too much feed at once. Once the feed ingredients enter the mixing tank 1, the first motor 7 starts, driving the rotating rod 8 and stirring rod 9 to rotate. The stirring rod 9 stirs and mixes the feed within the mixing tank 1, ensuring thorough and uniform mixing. During the stirring process, the cleaning component 10 prevents feed from adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, which would affect the mixing effect and feed utilization. After the feed is evenly mixed, the solenoid valve 6 opens, and the mixed feed is discharged through the discharge port 5.
[0026] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the intermittent feeding assembly 4 includes a fixed plate 41 and a second motor 42; the fixed plate 41 is disposed on the top of the feed pipe 3; the second motor 42 is disposed on one side of the fixed plate 41, a turntable 43 is disposed at the output end of the second motor 42, a fixed column 44 is disposed on one side of the turntable 43, a slide rail 45 is disposed on the side of the fixed plate 41 away from the second motor 42, a movable plate 46 is disposed in the slide rail 45, an arc-shaped groove for the fixed column 44 to move is provided on the movable plate 46, a connecting block 47 is disposed at the bottom of the movable plate 46, a sealing plate 48 is disposed at the bottom of the connecting block 47, and a rectangular through hole for the sealing plate 48 to move is also provided on the feed pipe 3.
[0027] When feeding is required, the second motor 42 is activated, driving the turntable 43 to rotate. The fixed column 44 on the turntable 43 rotates accordingly and moves along the arc-shaped groove on the moving plate 46. Since the shape and size of the arc-shaped groove match the fixed column 44, the movement of the fixed column 44 within the arc-shaped groove causes the moving plate 46 to reciprocate along the slide rail 45. The reciprocating sliding of the moving plate 46 drives the sealing plate 48 to reciprocate via the connecting block 47, thereby achieving intermittent feeding of feed ingredients. This ensures that the feed is evenly distributed within the mixing tank 1, preventing uneven mixing caused by adding too much feed at once.
[0028] See Figure 5 As shown, limit sliders are provided on both sides of the sealing plate 48, and a limit groove is provided on the inner wall of the feed pipe 3 for the limit sliders to move.
[0029] When the reciprocating sliding of the moving plate 46 drives the sealing plate 48 to reciprocate through the connecting block 47, the sealing plate 48 will drive the limiting slider to move within the limiting groove, thereby ensuring the stability of the movement of the sealing plate 48.
[0030] See Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning assembly 10 includes a rotating ring 104; the rotating ring 104 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, and the rotating rod 8 is also provided with a rotating component for driving the rotating ring 104 to rotate. An extension block 105 is provided on the inner side of the rotating ring 104, and a smooth rod 106 is vertically provided at the bottom of the extension block 105. An installation block 107 is provided on the smooth rod 106, and a scraper 108 is provided at one end of the installation block 107.
[0031] The rotating component is activated, driving the rotating ring 104 to rotate. As the rotating ring 104 rotates, the extension block 105 and the polished rod 106 also move. The mounting block 107 on the polished rod 106 drives the scraper 108 to slide on the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, scraping off the residues adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, thereby improving the uniformity of mixing and product quality.
[0032] See Figure 6 As shown, the rotating component includes a fixed ring 101; the fixed ring 101 is disposed on the rotating rod 8 and located at the top of the stirring rod 9. A crossbar 102 is disposed on the outer side of the fixed ring 101, and a fixing block 103 is disposed at one end of the crossbar 102. The bottom of the fixing block 103 is connected to the top of the rotating ring 104.
[0033] When the first motor 7 drives the rotating rod 8 to rotate, the fixed ring 101 on the rotating rod 8 will also rotate. Since the crossbar 102 is connected to the outside of the fixed ring 101, the crossbar 102 will also rotate with the rotation of the fixed ring 101. The rotation of the crossbar 102 further drives the fixed block 103 and the rotating ring 104 connected to the fixed block 103 to rotate, thereby achieving the effect of driving the rotating ring 104 to rotate.
[0034] See Figure 6 As shown, a connecting plate 109 is also installed on the outer side of the rotating rod 8, and one end of the connecting plate 109 is located on the outer side of the smooth rod 106.
[0035] When the rotating rod 8 rotates, it will drive the connecting plate 109 to rotate together. Since one end of the connecting plate 109 is connected to the smooth rod 106, the smooth rod 106 becomes more stable when moving.
[0036] See Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the support foot 2 is equipped with an anti-slip pad, which is made of rubber.
[0037] The rubber anti-slip pads on the bottom of the support foot 2 enhance the friction between the support foot 2 and the ground, preventing the mixing bucket 1 from sliding or shifting during mixing.
[0038] The feed ingredients to be processed are fed into the mixing tank 1 through the feed pipe 3, and the second motor 42 is started, driving the turntable 43 to rotate. The fixed column 44 on the turntable 43 rotates accordingly and moves along the arc-shaped groove on the moving plate 46. Since the shape and size of the arc-shaped groove match the fixed column 44, the movement of the fixed column 44 in the arc-shaped groove will cause the moving plate 46 to slide back and forth along the slide rail 45. The back and forth sliding of the moving plate 46 drives the sealing plate 48 to move back and forth through the connecting block 47, thereby realizing the intermittent feeding of feed ingredients, ensuring that the feed is evenly distributed in the mixing tank 1, and avoiding uneven mixing caused by adding too much feed at once. After the feed ingredients enter the mixing tank 1, the first motor 7 is started, driving the rotating rod 8 and the stirring rod 9 to rotate. The stirring rod 9 stirs and mixes the feed in the mixing tank 1, ensuring that the feed ingredients are fully and evenly mixed. When the first motor 7 drives the rotating rod 8 to rotate, the fixed ring 101 on the rotating rod 8 will also rotate accordingly. Since the crossbar 102 is connected to the outside of the fixed ring 101, the crossbar 102 will also rotate with the rotation of the fixed ring 101. The rotation of the crossbar 102 further drives the fixed block 103 and the rotating ring 104 connected to the fixed block 103 to rotate. As the rotating ring 104 rotates, the extension block 105 and the smooth rod 106 also move accordingly. The mounting block 107 on the smooth rod 106 drives the scraper 108 to slide on the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, scraping off the residues adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, thereby improving the uniformity of mixing and product quality.
