They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0060] refer to Figures 1 to 7 A livestock forage cutting device that facilitates material feeding includes an L-shaped support leg 1, a vertical mounting plate 2, a guide cylinder 4, a push plate 16, a cutting blade 5, a disc 7, a baffle 701, a drive mechanism, a propulsion mechanism, and a transmission mechanism.
[0061] Vertical mounting plates 2 are vertically installed on the inner walls of the horizontal plates of the two L-shaped support legs 1. A guide cylinder 4 is installed between the upper parts of the two vertical mounting plates 2. The two L-shaped support legs 1 are used to increase the stability of the equipment and serve as supporting components of the equipment. The two vertical mounting plates 2 are connected to the guide cylinder 4 through fasteners, so that the guide cylinder 4 and the two L-shaped support legs 1 supported by the ground form a whole, increasing the stability of the equipment in the working state.
[0062] A disc 7 is fixedly installed on the rear wall of the feed cylinder 4. The disc 7 is used to install the transmission mechanism described later.
[0063] The top wall of the feed guide cylinder 4 is provided with a notch 401 for discharging material. The notch is located between the feed guide cylinder 4 and the disc 7. The user can put the collected feed into the feed guide cylinder 4 through the notch 401 on the feed guide cylinder 4, and the feeding work can be completed under the drive of the pusher 16 described later.
[0064] A baffle 701 is fixedly installed on the front wall of the disc 7. The baffle 701 is installed inside the guide cylinder 4 and is used to limit the sliding trajectory of the pusher 16.
[0065] A pusher plate 16 is movably installed inside the feed guide cylinder 4. The pusher plate 16 is movably installed between the front wall of the feed guide cylinder 4 and the baffle plate 701. The pusher plate 16 is detachably in contact with the notch 401. When the user is replenishing feed, he / she needs to ensure that the pusher plate 16 is behind the notch 401. After the feed is filled, the pusher plate 16 will drive the feed through the notch 401 to the front cutting position of the feed guide cylinder 4.
[0066] The push plate 16 is driven by a propulsion mechanism;
[0067] A cutting blade 5 is movably installed on the outer side of the front wall of the feed cylinder 4. The cutting blade 5 is driven by a drive mechanism and rotates in real time under the drive mechanism to cut the feed cylinder that is pushed out.
[0068] The drive mechanism is mounted on the upper end of the cross plate of one of the L-shaped support legs 1;
[0069] A transmission mechanism is installed on the rear wall of disk 7;
[0070] The transmission mechanism is driven by the drive mechanism to work;
[0071] The propulsion mechanism is driven by the transmission mechanism.
[0072] The drive mechanism includes a drive motor 6, a first sprocket 13, a second sprocket 12, and a main shaft 9;
[0073] One of the L-shaped support legs 1 has a drive motor 6 installed on the upper end of its horizontal plate, and a first sprocket 13 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor;
[0074] A second sprocket 12 is rotatably mounted on one side of the rear wall of the disc 7 near the first sprocket 13 via the main shaft 9;
[0075] The second sprocket 12 and the first sprocket 13 are fitted with the same chain on their outer sides. The distance between the first sprocket 13 and the second sprocket 12 ensures that the chain is fully engaged, so that there is no need for a tensioner to tighten it. Preferably, a tensioner can also be used to achieve a similar function as described above. This is prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0076] The main shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the rear wall of the disc 7 and the guide cylinder 4 respectively;
[0077] One end of the cutting tool 5 is fixedly mounted on the front end of the spindle 9;
[0078] The main shaft 9 operates through a rotational drive transmission mechanism. When the drive motor 6 is started, its output shaft begins to rotate, driving the first sprocket 13, which is coaxially fixed to it, to rotate. During the rotation of the first sprocket, the rotational driving force is transmitted to the second sprocket 12 through a chain. The second sprocket 12, by rotating, transmits the rotational driving force through the main shaft 9 to the cutting tool 5 located in front of the guide cylinder 14. It should be noted that the rotation center of the cutting tool is installed at an eccentric position on the front wall of the guide cylinder 14, and its rotation trajectory can just cover the entire cross-section of the guide cylinder 14, ensuring that all the feed cylinders that are pushed out can be cut.
[0079] The transmission mechanism includes a first spur gear 11 and a second spur gear 10;
[0080] The rear end of the main shaft 9 is fixedly fitted with a first spur gear 11, which is installed between the second sprocket 12 and the disc 7.
[0081] A second spur gear 10 is meshed on one side of the first spur gear 11. The second spur gear 10 is rotatably mounted on the rear wall of the disc 7 via the rotating barrel 18. A circular groove is provided on the rear wall of the disc 7. The front wall of the rotating barrel 7 is rotatably engaged in this circular groove to ensure that the rotating barrel 7 can only rotate and will not slide.
[0082] The rotating barrel 18 drives the propulsion mechanism to work through rotation. During the rotation of the second sprocket 12, it also drives the first spur gear 11, which is coaxially mounted with it, to start rotating. During the rotation of the first spur gear 11, it drives the second spur gear 10, which is meshed with it, to start rotating. The second spur gear 10 drives the rotating barrel 18 to start rotating through rotation. The rotating barrel 18 and the disc 7 are rotated together.
[0083] The propulsion mechanism includes a reciprocating lead screw 8, a first rectangular slider 1601, a second rectangular slider 14, a T-shaped rod 17, and an L-shaped rod 15;
[0084] The bottom wall of the feed cylinder 4 is provided with a first rectangular groove 402, and the lower end of the push plate 16 is equipped with a first rectangular slider 1601 that cooperates with the first rectangular groove 402.
[0085] The first rectangular slider 1601 is slidably installed in the first rectangular groove 402;
[0086] The lower end of the first rectangular slider 1601 slides through the first rectangular slide groove 402 and is fixedly installed with a T-shaped rod 17;
[0087] The first rectangular slider 1601 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the crossbar of the T-shaped rod 17;
[0088] Two vertical mounting plates 2 are respectively provided with second rectangular through slots 201, and second rectangular sliders 14 are slidably installed in the two second rectangular through slots 201.
[0089] The two ends of the crossbar of the T-shaped rod 17 are fixedly connected to each other by a fastener and a second rectangular slider 14 that is close to it;
[0090] The horizontal bar of the L-shaped rod 15 is fixedly installed on the rear wall of the lower end of the vertical rod of the T-shaped rod 17;
[0091] The vertical rod of the L-shaped rod 15 is movably installed on the rear side of the disc 7, and the first end of the reciprocating screw 8 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the front wall of the vertical rod of the L-shaped rod 15.
[0092] The reciprocating lead screw 8 and the rotating barrel 18 are threaded through each other;
[0093] The second end of the reciprocating screw slides through the center of the disc 7 and the baffle 701 and is fixedly connected to the rear wall of the push plate 16. It should be noted that the center of the disc 7 and the baffle 701 is penetrated by the reciprocating screw 8. To avoid contact between the reciprocating screw 8 and the disc 7 and the baffle 701, the diameter of the reciprocating screw 8 should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the hole at the center of the disc 7 and the baffle 701. The second rectangular through slots 21 on both sides and the corresponding second rectangular sliders 14 limit the sliding trajectory of the T-shaped rod 17. During the sliding process, the T-shaped rod 17 drives the L-shaped rod 15, ensuring that the L-shaped rod 15 always has the ability to move horizontally. At this time, the L-shaped rod 15 is fixedly mounted on... The reciprocating screw 8 can only move horizontally. Since the reciprocating screw 8 and the rotating drum 18 are connected by a threaded connection, the reciprocating screw 8 will start to move horizontally as the rotating drum 18 rotates. The push plate 16, which is fixedly connected to the T-shaped rod 17 through the first rectangular slider 1601, can only move horizontally along the guide tube 4. The straw tube located in front of the push plate 16 can be pushed forward by the push plate 16 and finally pushed out from the front of the guide tube 4. The cutting tool 5 is always rotating at this time, so it will be cut by the cutting tool 5 every time the straw tube is pushed out. The whole process does not require manual operation of the tool or manual pushing, which greatly increases the work efficiency.
[0094] The same collection frame 3 is movably installed below the horizontal plate of each of the two L-shaped support legs 1. The collection frame 3 is detachably installed below the front wall of the feed guide cylinder 4, and its function is to facilitate the receipt of chopped grass.
[0095] The implementation method of this utility model:
[0096] Place the device on a horizontal surface and ensure that the push plate 16 is close to the baffle plate 701 before use. When the push plate 16 is close to the baffle plate 701, it is also located behind the notch 401. Put the rolled straw into the guide tube 4 through the notch 401. The straw is also located in front of the push plate 16.
[0097] After placing the feed hopper, start the drive motor 6. The output shaft of the drive motor 6 starts to rotate and drives the cutting tool 5 to start rotating in front of the feed hopper 4 through the main shaft 9.
[0098] As the cutting blade 5 rotates, the pusher 16 also pushes the feed cylinder toward the cutting blade 5. Since the pusher 16 is pushed by a threaded connection, the pushing speed of the pusher 16 is very slow, which ensures that every part of the feed cylinder 4 that is exposed can be cut by the cutting blade 5.
[0099] The shredded material will fall into the collection box 3 below. After a roll of hay is cut, the pusher 16 starts to return under the drive of the reciprocating screw 8. This process can be carried out by changing the collection box 3 below. After the reciprocating screw 8 drives the pusher 16 to the initial position again, a new roll of hay is put into the guide tube 4 through the notch 401 and the above operation is repeated.
[0100] This invention can better cut the bundled hay hopper. After the drive mechanism is activated, the hay hopper is pushed closer to the outlet of the guide cylinder while the cutting blade is driven to cut the protruding hay. The whole process can effectively avoid manually pushing the hay, making it more convenient to use and saving time and effort.
[0101] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
