Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of roughage bin technology, and specifically discloses a roughage bin. Background Technology

[0002] A roughage silo is a device used to store roughage. It typically employs a closed or semi-closed structure to ensure roughage quality, minimize nutrient loss, and facilitate management and retrieval, providing livestock with a stable feed source. When roughage needs to be retrieved, the valve at the discharge port is opened or the discharge device is activated. Under gravity, the roughage flows out from the discharge port at the bottom of the silo. If a screw conveyor or similar discharge device is used, the rotation of the screw blades propels the roughage along the conveying direction, transporting it to designated feed processing equipment or feeding locations.

[0003] Chinese patent CN118701779A discloses a weighing and conveying device, comprising: a frame; a bin body, inclinedly arranged on the frame for temporary storage of materials; an auger conveying assembly, arranged in the bin body for conveying materials within the bin body; and a weighing assembly, arranged on the bin body for weighing the materials within the bin body.

[0004] In the above scheme, the coarse feed at the bottom of the bin is discharged from the outlet through the auger, but the coarse feed at the top of the bin tends to clump together and cannot fall smoothly into the auger or the outlet, affecting the smooth discharge of the coarse feed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a roughage bin to solve the problem that in the prior art, the roughage at the bottom of the bin is discharged from the outlet through the auger, but the roughage at the top of the bin tends to clump together and cannot fall smoothly into the auger or the outlet, thus affecting the smooth discharge of the roughage.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] The aforementioned roughage silo includes a frame, on which a silo body is fixedly mounted. An auger is fixedly mounted on the bottom inner side of the silo body. A discharge port is located on one side of the lower end of the silo body, and a material-pushing mechanism is located at the upper open end of the silo body. This mechanism pushes the material in the upper part of the silo body from the side furthest from the discharge port towards the discharge port. This material-pushing mechanism ensures that the material in the upper part of the silo body is conveyed towards the auger and the discharge port, greatly improving the smoothness of roughage discharge. This guarantees the efficient and stable operation of the roughage silo, reduces labor and time costs caused by poor discharge, and improves feed supply efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding rod connected to a linear translation component, which is mounted on the top surface of the silo. The feeding rod includes a main rod with several levers spaced along its length. The feeding rod is mounted on the top surface of the silo via the linear translation component and can move horizontally across the upper part of the silo. In conjunction with the levers along the length of the main rod, it can move the material in the upper part of the silo. This not only effectively breaks up clumps of roughage but also pushes the roughage from the side furthest from the discharge port towards the discharge port, improving the flow of roughage within the silo. This significantly enhances the smoothness and stability of the discharge, effectively ensuring the overall operating efficiency of the roughage silo, reducing downtime for maintenance due to discharge problems, and improving the continuity and reliability of feed supply operations.

[0009] Preferably, the linear translation component includes two guide rails fixedly mounted on the top surfaces of the two side walls of the silo. Sliding blocks are slidably mounted on the guide rails, and the two sliding blocks are connected by a mounting rod. A main rod is sleeved on the mounting rod, and a drive unit is connected to the sliding blocks. The two guide rails fixed to the top surfaces of the two side walls of the silo cooperate with the sliding blocks slidably mounted on them, and the two sliding blocks are connected by the mounting rod, allowing the sliding blocks to slide stably on the guide rails. This provides stable support for the movement of the main rod, which is sleeved on the mounting rod and can move accordingly. The drive unit connected to the sliding blocks provides power for the entire feeding action, enabling the feeding rod to move regularly and controllably in the upper part of the silo. This structural design makes the feeding mechanism operate more smoothly and precisely, improves the feeding effect on the material in the upper part of the silo, further enhances the smoothness of the feed silo discharge, and ensures efficient and stable feed supply operations.

[0010] Preferably, the linear translation assembly further includes a rotation limiting unit, which includes arc-shaped notches on the outer walls of both ends of the main rod, and limit blocks on the outer walls of both ends of the mounting rod to match the arc-shaped notches. The feeding rod is installed on the top surface of the silo via the linear translation assembly, and can move horizontally on the upper part of the silo. In conjunction with several feeding rods arranged along the length of the main rod, it can move the material in the upper part of the silo. The rotation limiting unit of the linear translation assembly, including the arc-shaped notches on the outer walls of both ends of the main rod and the limit blocks on the outer walls of both ends of the mounting rod, limits the rotation arc of the main rod on the mounting rod. This allows the feeding rod to smoothly insert into the coarse feed for movement when moving from the side away from the discharge port to the side of the discharge port; and when moving in the reverse direction, it can promptly detach from the coarse feed. This not only effectively breaks up the agglomerated coarse feed and pushes it towards the discharge port, greatly improving the flow of coarse feed in the silo, but also reduces the resistance when the feeding rod returns, ensuring the overall operating efficiency of the coarse feed silo, reducing downtime for maintenance due to discharge problems, and improving the continuity and reliability of feed supply operations.

[0011] Preferably, the longitudinal section of the guide rail is U-shaped, and the slide includes a base body, with rollers rotatably mounted at both ends of the base body.

[0012] Preferably, the drive unit includes a transmission rod rotatably mounted on the top surface of the compartment, the transmission rod being rotatably mounted at one end of a guide rail, and a winding wheel being rotatably mounted at the other end of the guide rail. A transmission belt is provided between the end of the transmission rod and the winding wheel, and the two ends of the transmission belt are respectively connected to the two ends of the base. One end of the transmission rod is connected to a first motor reducer, and the output end of the first motor reducer is fixedly connected to the transmission rod.

[0013] Preferably, the auger includes a rotating shaft rotatably mounted at the bottom of the hopper, with helical blades fixedly mounted on the shaft. One end of the shaft is connected to a second motor reducer, and the output end of the second motor reducer is fixedly connected to the shaft. A plurality of material-pulling plates are spaced circumferentially on the outer wall of the other end of the shaft, and these plates are positioned on the shaft above the discharge port. The helical blades on the shaft propel the coarse feed towards the discharge port, while the material-pulling plates, evenly spaced circumferentially on the outer wall of the shaft above the discharge port, further disperse any coarse feed accumulated near the discharge port, preventing blockage and ensuring smooth discharge of the coarse feed.

[0014] Preferably, a cover plate is slidably provided on the lower end face of the silo body to match the discharge port, and the cover plate is connected to an opening and closing mechanism.

[0015] Preferably, a connecting rod is fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the cover plate, and the opening and closing mechanism includes sliding plates fixedly provided on both sides of the discharge port. The cover plate is slidably provided between the sliding plates and the bottom surface of the silo body. The connecting rod is connected to a moving component, which is provided on the bottom surface of the silo body.

[0016] Preferably, the moving component includes a lead screw, a threaded connection between the lead screw and a connecting rod, and a third motor reducer is installed at one end of the lead screw. The output end of the third motor reducer is fixedly connected to the lead screw, and the third motor reducer is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the silo. The cover slides between the sliding plate and the bottom surface of the silo, and its opening and closing are controlled by the moving component. One end of the lead screw in the moving component is connected to the third motor reducer. Through the cooperation of the lead screw nut and the connecting rod, the cover can achieve stable and flexible opening and closing. When the roughage does not need to be discharged, closing the cover can effectively prevent impurities from entering the silo and contaminating the roughage, ensuring feed quality. When discharge is required, the cover can be quickly opened without affecting the discharge efficiency. Working in conjunction with the auger and the feeding mechanism, it improves the reliability and stability of the roughage silo in the storage and discharge stages, ensuring efficient operation of feed supply.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. The feeding mechanism moves the material from the side furthest from the discharge port towards the discharge port, allowing the material in the upper part of the bin to be conveyed to the auger and discharge port. This greatly improves the smoothness of roughage discharge, ensures the efficient and stable operation of the roughage bin, reduces labor and time costs caused by poor discharge, and improves feed supply efficiency. The rotation limiting unit of the linear translation component includes arc notches on the outer walls of both ends of the main rod and limiting blocks on the outer walls of both ends of the mounting rod, limiting the rotation arc of the main rod on the mounting rod. This allows the feeding rod to smoothly insert into the roughage when moving from the side furthest from the discharge port towards the discharge port; and when moving in the reverse direction, it can promptly detach from the roughage. This not only effectively breaks up clumps of roughage and pushes it towards the discharge port, greatly improving the flow of roughage within the bin, but also reduces the resistance of the feeding rod during its return stroke, ensuring the overall operating efficiency of the roughage bin, reducing downtime for maintenance due to discharge problems, and improving the continuity and reliability of feed supply operations.

[0019] 2. The cover slides between the sliding plate and the bottom of the silo, and its opening and closing are controlled by the moving component. One end of the lead screw in the moving component is connected to the third motor reducer. Through the cooperation of the lead screw nut and the connecting rod, the cover can be opened and closed stably and flexibly. When the roughage does not need to be discharged, closing the cover can effectively prevent impurities from entering the silo and contaminating the roughage, thus ensuring feed quality. When discharge is required, the cover can be opened quickly without affecting the discharge efficiency. Working in conjunction with the auger and feeding mechanism, it can improve the reliability and stability of the roughage silo in the storage and discharge process, and ensure the efficient operation of feed supply.

[0029] The present invention will now be described and explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the roughage bin includes a frame 1, a bin body 2 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, an auger 3 is fixedly mounted on the bottom inner side of the bin body 2, a discharge port 201 is opened on one side of the lower end of the bin body 2, and a feeding mechanism is provided at the upper open end of the bin body 2. The feeding mechanism is used to move the material on the upper part of the bin body 2 from the side away from the discharge port 201 to the side of the discharge port 201.

[0032] The feeding mechanism moves the material from the side away from the discharge port 201 to the side of the discharge port 201, so that the material in the upper part of the bin 2 can be conveyed to the auger 3 and the discharge port 201, which greatly improves the smoothness of the roughage discharge, ensures the efficient and stable operation of the roughage bin discharge, reduces the labor and time costs caused by poor discharge, and improves the feed supply efficiency.

[0033] The material feeding mechanism includes a feeding rod 4, which is connected to a linear translation component. The linear translation component is set on the top surface of the bin body 2. The feeding rod 4 includes a main rod 401, and a number of feeding rods 402 are arranged at intervals along the length direction on the main rod 401.

[0034] The linear translation component includes two guide rails 5 fixedly installed on the top surfaces of the two side walls of the compartment 2. Slide seats 6 are slidably installed on the guide rails 5. The two slide seats 6 are connected by a mounting rod 7. The main rod 401 is sleeved on the mounting rod 7. The slide seats 6 are connected to a drive unit.

[0035] The longitudinal section of the guide rail 5 is U-shaped, and the slide 6 includes a seat 601, with rollers 602 rotatably mounted at both ends of the seat 601.

[0036] The drive unit includes a transmission rod 8 rotatably mounted on the top surface of the chamber 2. The transmission rod 8 is rotatably mounted on one end of the guide rail 5. A winding wheel 9 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the guide rail 5. A transmission belt 10 is provided between the end of the transmission rod 8 and the winding wheel 9. The two ends of the transmission belt 10 are respectively connected to the two ends of the seat 601. One end of the transmission rod 8 is connected to a first motor reducer 11, and the output end of the first motor reducer 11 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 8.

[0037] With the above configuration, in the feeding mechanism, the feeding rod 4 is installed on the top surface of the silo 2 via a linear translation assembly. The main rod 401 is sleeved on the mounting rod 7. Several feeding rods 402 are arranged along the length of the main rod 401, which can move the material in the upper part of the silo 2 from all directions and at multiple angles. In the linear translation assembly, two guide rails 5 are fixed to the top surfaces of the two side walls of the silo 2, and two slide blocks 6 slide on the guide rails 5 and are connected to each other through the mounting rod 7, providing stable support for the feeding rod. The drive unit connected to the slide blocks 6 achieves precise and efficient power transmission through the transmission rod 8, the winding wheel 9, and the transmission belt 10, controlling the movement of the feeding rod 4 so that the feeding rod 4 can move stably in the upper part of the silo 2, effectively breaking up the agglomerated coarse feed. In other alternative embodiments, the linear translation assembly is replaced by a slide rod on the top surface of one side of the silo 2 and a lead screw on the top surface of the other side of the silo 2. The lead screw is threadedly connected to the main rod 401, and the other end of the main rod 401 is slidably mounted on the slide rod. The lead screw is connected to a motor.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the linear translation assembly also includes a rotation limiting unit, which includes an arc notch 403 formed on the outer wall of both ends of the main rod 401, and a limit block 701 is provided on the outer wall of both ends of the mounting rod 7 to match the arc notch 403. The feeding rod 4 is installed on the top surface of the silo 2 via a linear translation component, allowing it to move horizontally across the upper part of the silo 2. In conjunction with several feeding rods 402 arranged along the length of the main rod 401, it moves the material in the upper part of the silo. The rotation limiting unit of the linear translation component includes arc notches 403 on the outer walls of both ends of the main rod 401 and limiting blocks 701 on the outer walls of both ends of the mounting rod 7, limiting the rotation arc of the main rod 401 on the mounting rod 7. This allows the feeding rod 4 to smoothly insert into the coarse feed and move it when moving from the side away from the discharge port 201 towards the discharge port 201; and when moving in the reverse direction, it can promptly detach from the coarse feed. This not only effectively breaks up agglomerated coarse feed and pushes it towards the discharge port 201, greatly improving the flow of coarse feed within the silo 2, but also reduces the resistance of the feeding rod 4 during its return stroke, ensuring the overall operating efficiency of the coarse feed silo, reducing downtime for maintenance due to discharge problems, and improving the continuity and reliability of feed supply operations.

[0039] In other alternative embodiments, the feeding mechanism includes a rectangular plate, with chain drive assemblies installed at the top of both side walls of the hopper 2. The two ends of the rectangular plate are respectively mounted on two chain drive assemblies. The drive sprockets of the two chain drive assemblies are connected by a rotating shaft, which is connected to a motor. When the motor is started, it drives the chain drive assemblies to rotate, thereby driving the rectangular plate to move horizontally and push the material to one side of the discharge port. Then, the rectangular plate continues to move horizontally on the chain drive assemblies, detaches from the material, and returns from one side of the discharge port to the other side to continue the next feeding operation.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, the auger 3 includes a rotating shaft 301 rotatably mounted at the bottom of the hopper 2. Spiral blades 302 are fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 301. One end of the rotating shaft 301 is connected to a second motor reducer 304, and the output end of the second motor reducer 304 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301. Several material-pushing plates 303 are spaced circumferentially on the outer wall of the other end of the rotating shaft 301. These material-pushing plates 303 are positioned on the rotating shaft 301 above the discharge port 201. The spiral blades 302 on the rotating shaft 301 push the coarse feed towards the discharge port 201. The several material-pushing plates 303, evenly arranged circumferentially on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 301 above the discharge port 201, further disperse the coarse feed accumulated near the discharge port 201, preventing blockage and ensuring smooth discharge of the coarse feed from the discharge port 201.

[0041] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a cover plate 12 is slidably provided on the lower end face of the silo body 2 to match the discharge port 201, and the cover plate 12 is connected to an opening and closing mechanism.

[0042] A connecting rod 1201 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the cover plate 12. The opening and closing mechanism includes a sliding plate 13 fixedly installed on both sides of the discharge port 201. The cover plate 12 is slidably installed between the sliding plate 13 and the bottom surface of the hopper 2. The connecting rod 1201 is connected to a moving component, which is installed on the bottom surface of the hopper 2.

[0043] The moving component includes a lead screw 14, which is threadedly connected to a connecting rod 1201. A third motor reducer 15 is provided at one end of the lead screw 14, and the output end of the third motor reducer 15 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 14. The third motor reducer 15 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the chamber 2.

[0044] The cover plate 12 slides between the slide plate 13 and the bottom surface of the bin 2. Its opening and closing are controlled by the moving component. One end of the lead screw 14 in the moving component is connected to the third motor reducer 15. Through the cooperation of the nut of the lead screw 14 and the connecting rod 1201, the cover plate 12 can be opened and closed stably and flexibly. When the coarse feed does not need to be discharged, closing the cover plate 12 can effectively prevent impurities from entering the bin and contaminating the coarse feed, thus ensuring feed quality. When discharge is required, the cover plate 12 can be opened quickly without affecting the discharge efficiency. Working in coordination with the auger 3 and the feeding mechanism, it can improve the reliability and stability of the coarse feed bin in the storage and discharge process, and ensure the efficient operation of feed supply.
