DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0034] Referring to Figures 1-4 An embodiment provided by the present application: an animal experimental research feeding device convenient for adding feed, comprising a mixing barrel 1, a cleaning assembly is arranged inside the mixing barrel 1, which is used for improving the efficiency of the feed mixing process and the post-cleaning work, and ensuring the long-term use effect of the device. A top cover 2 is arranged at the top of the mixing barrel 1, a shaft one 4 is rotatably connected inside the top cover 2, a mixing assembly is arranged inside the shaft one 4, which ensures that the feed in the mixing process can be fully stirred and uniformly mixed. A driving assembly is arranged at the top of the top cover 2, which provides power for the mixing device;

[0035] The mixing assembly includes a fixed ring 5 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft one 4, and the fixed ring 5 is fixedly connected with symmetrical spiral blades 7 inside. The rotation of the spiral blades 7 can efficiently stir the feed inside the mixing barrel 1, ensuring that the different components of the feed can be uniformly mixed, and improving the mixing efficiency of the feed. At the same time, the outer wall of the fixed ring 5 is fixedly connected with a scraper 6, one side of the scraper 6 is attached to the inner wall of the mixing barrel 1, and the scraper 6 effectively prevents the feed from adhering to the barrel wall by being attached to the inner wall, and can scrape off the adhered feed, further ensuring the thorough mixing of the feed. The mixing barrel 1 is fixedly connected with a discharge pipe one 11 inside, which is used to quantitatively discharge the mixed feed after the mixing is completed, ensuring the accurate consistency of the feed amount for each feeding. The cleaning assembly includes an annular water pipe 8, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the mixing barrel 1, and the annular water pipe 8 is fixedly connected with a nozzle 10 inside. The cleaning water can be uniformly sprayed in the mixing barrel 1 through the nozzle 10, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the cleaning process and avoiding the accumulation of any residues. The outer wall of the annular water pipe 8 is fixedly connected with a water inlet pipe 9, which is connected to an external water source to provide the necessary water flow for cleaning operation. The driving assembly includes a motor one 3, which is fixedly connected to the top of the top cover 2. The output end of the motor one 3 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft one 4. The power provided by the motor one 3 is transmitted to the mixing assembly through the rotating shaft one 4, realizing the rotation of the spiral blades 7 and the scraper 6, and effectively stirring the feed;

[0036] Specifically, first, when mixing the feed, the operator needs to open the top cover 2 of the mixing device and uniformly pour the feed into the mixing barrel 1. Then, the output end of the motor one 3 drives the rotating shaft one 4 to rotate, and the rotating shaft one 4 is connected with the spiral blades 7 through the fixed ring 5, so that the spiral blades 7 rotate inside the mixing barrel 1. The rotation of the spiral blades 7 drives the feed to be stirred violently in the barrel, thereby achieving the effect of thorough mixing of the feed. At the same time, the rotating shaft one 4 also drives the feed around the inner wall of the mixing barrel 1 through the specially designed scraper 6, ensuring that the feed adhering to the barrel wall is not ignored, promoting the uniform mixing of the inner and outer feed, and greatly improving the mixing efficiency and consistency. During the cleaning process, in order to facilitate operation and cleaning, the external cleaning water connected to the water inlet pipe 9 flows in through the annular water pipe 8 and is sprayed out from the nozzle 10. When the rotating shaft one 4 continues to rotate, the scraper 6 not only stirs the feed, but also cleans the inner wall of the mixing barrel 1, completely removing the adhering residual feed.

[0037] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6The first end of the discharge pipe one 11 is fixedly connected with the discharge pipe two 12, and the discharge pipe two 12 is used for outputting the feed from the mixing barrel 1 and transmitting it to other equipment or containers, ensuring the smooth flow of the feed and facilitating subsequent processing. The first end of the discharge pipe two 12 is fixedly connected with the motor two 13, and the motor two 13 provides power through the output end to drive the rotation of the auger blade 14. The auger blade 14 pushes the feed outward along the discharge pipe two 12 by rotating, ensuring that the feed can be uniformly and quantitatively delivered to the required position. The discharge pipe two 12 is provided with a shunt pipe 15 on one side, and the shunt pipe 15 is used to distribute the delivered feed to different areas to meet different feeding needs. When it is necessary to provide feed to different animals or to allocate different amounts, the shunt pipe 15 can play an important role. The shunt pipe 15 is rotatably connected with a connecting block one 16 on one side, and the connecting block one 16 plays a connecting and supporting role while ensuring the rotation and adjustment function of the shunt pipe 15. The connecting block one 16 is fixedly connected with an electric push rod 17 on one side, and the electric push rod 17 is used to drive the movement of the connecting block two 21 to realize accurate adjustment of the shunt pipe 15. The electric push rod 17 provides stable thrust through the output end, so that the connecting block two 21 can be adjusted in position as needed to control the deflection angle of the shunt pipe 15 and the feed distribution amount. The shunt pipe 15 is rotatably connected with a shaft two 18 inside, and the shaft two 18 drives the swing of the shunt plate 22 by rotating, thereby adjusting the flow direction of the feed discharged from the shunt pipe 15. The shunt plate 22 can effectively distribute the feed to different channels under the drive of the shaft two 18 to realize multi-target feeding. The shaft two 18 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 19 at one end, and the connecting rod 19 is used to transmit the rotary motion of the shaft two 18 to the connecting block two 21. The connecting rod 19 is provided with a sliding groove 20 inside, and the sliding groove 20 enables the connecting rod 19 to cooperate with the sliding connection inside the connecting block two 21, thereby realizing the smooth sliding of the connecting block two 21 and adjusting the position and angle of the shunt pipe 15. The connecting rod 19 provides more flexible and accurate adjustment through the sliding of the sliding groove 20, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of feed distribution;

[0038] Specifically, the feed in the mixing barrel 1 is mixed thoroughly and then flows into the discharge pipe two 12 through the discharge pipe one 11. At this time, the output end of the motor two 13 drives the auger blade 14 to rotate, and the rotation of the auger blade 14 pushes the feed in the discharge pipe one 11 to flow out smoothly and ensures that the feed can be discharged quantitatively according to the set rate. In order to meet the feeding needs of different animals, when it is necessary to divide the feed into different varieties of animals or to feed different amounts of feed to the same kind of animals according to the needs, the system starts the electric push rod 17. The output end of the electric push rod 17 extends and pushes the connecting block two 21 to slide in the chute 20, thereby driving the connecting rod 19 to rotate around the center of the rotating shaft two 18. The connecting rod 19 drives the rotating shaft two 18 to swing through the shunt plate 22, so that the shunt plate 22 is deflected at the center of the shunt pipe 15. In this way, after the feed flows into the shunt pipe 15 from the discharge pipe two 12, the feed is divided according to the adjustment of the shunt plate 22, and is delivered to the feeding position of each animal according to the predetermined proportion, ensuring that each animal can obtain the appropriate amount of feed.

[0039] Working principle: when using the animal experiment research feeding device for convenient addition of feed, first, when mixing the feed, open the top cover 2 to put the feed into the mixing barrel 1, then the output end of the motor one 3 drives the rotating shaft one 4 to rotate, the rotating shaft one 4 drives the spiral blade 7 to rotate through the fixed ring 5, and then the spiral blade 7 drives the feed in the mixing barrel 1 to mix, at the same time, the rotating shaft one 4 can drive the scraper 6 to scrape the inner wall of the mixing barrel 1, so that the feed around the inner wall of the mixing barrel 1 is stirred synchronously, improving the mixing efficiency of the feed, when it is necessary to clean the inside of the mixing barrel 1, the water inlet pipe 9 is connected to the external cleaning water, then the cleaning water enters the annular water pipe 8 and is sprayed from the nozzle 10, when the rotating shaft one 4 drives the scraper 6 to rotate, the scraper 6 cleans the inner wall of the mixing barrel 1, achieving the effect of improving the mixing efficiency of the feed and facilitating the cleaning of the inner wall of the mixing barrel 1;

[0040] Then the feed in the mixing barrel 1 enters the discharge pipe two 12 through the discharge pipe one 11, then the output end of the motor two 13 drives the auger blade 14 to rotate, so that the feed in the discharge pipe one 11 can be discharged quantitatively, when it is necessary to divide the feed to feed different varieties of animals or to feed different amounts of feed to the same kind of animals, the output end of the electric push rod 17 extends to drive the connecting block two 21 to slide in the chute 20, thereby driving the connecting rod 19 to rotate around the rotating shaft two 18, the connecting rod 19 drives the rotating shaft two 18 to swing through the shunt plate 22, so that the shunt plate 22 is deflected at the center of the shunt pipe 15, and then the feed discharged from the discharge pipe two 12 is divided from the shunt pipe 15 and fed to the animals, achieving the effect of quantitative discharge and division.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application, although the foregoing embodiments of the present application has been described in detail, for the skilled in the art, it still can be modified, or for part of the technical features of the equivalent replacement, the spirit and principles of the present application, made any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc., should be included within the scope of the present application.
