Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silkworm feeding technology, and in particular to a precise quantitative feeding machine for silkworms. Background Technology

[0002] Silkworm rearing requires a variety of feeds, including mulberry leaves, mulberry branches, pomelo leaves, areca leaves, agave leaves, and other plants. Among them, mulberry leaves are one of the most commonly used feeds for silkworms. With the continuous progress of society and the rapid development of technology, higher requirements have been put forward for the feeding process in silkworm rearing. Among them, precision quantitative feeding machines have become a commonly used breeding tool for silkworm farmers.

[0003] Existing precision feeding machines for silkworms still have some shortcomings in practical use:

[0004] 1. When feeding mulberry leaves, existing precision quantitative feeding machines for silkworms usually crush the mulberry leaves to a certain size in order to ensure that the mulberry leaves are transported evenly and quantitatively. The mulberry leaves are then continuously transported to a placement tray below the conveyor by a conveyor. Although this method can continuously transport mulberry leaves, it is difficult to control the amount of mulberry leaves transported during the process. As a result, the mulberry leaves will be unevenly distributed after being spread on the tray.

[0005] 2. When using a feeding machine, the trays for placing silkworms are transported to the feeding machine via a conveyor. The feeding machine then lays the mulberry leaves inside the trays. Although existing feeding machines can accurately lay the mulberry leaves inside the trays and ensure that almost no leaves fall outside the trays, this method can only ensure that most of the space inside the trays is evenly covered. There will be less coverage at the edges of the trays, resulting in uneven coverage inside the trays. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the inability to control the amount of mulberry leaves being continuously conveyed, resulting in uneven thickness, and the inability to ensure even distribution of mulberry leaves in most of the tray's interior while leaving insufficient distribution at the edges. Therefore, this invention proposes a precise quantitative feeding machine for silkworm feed.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A precision quantitative feeding machine for silkworms includes a mounting frame. Two fourth conveyors are installed within the mounting frame. A second conveyor is located below the mounting frame, positioned between and perpendicular to the two fourth conveyors. A first conveyor is located on one side of the mounting frame, below one end of the second conveyor. The second and first conveyors are arranged in a T-shape. A receiving bin is located at one end of the first conveyor. A top bin is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame. A transfer bin is located on one side of the top bin. An inclined conveyor is installed between the receiving bin and the transfer bin, with the first conveyor located above one end of the inclined conveyor.

[0009] In one possible design, a working roller is rotatably connected to the bottom of the top hopper, and a third conveyor is fixedly installed below the top hopper. A sprocket is fixedly connected to one end of the working roller and one end of the rotating roller of the third conveyor. The two sprockets are connected by chain drive. A drive motor is fixedly installed on one side of the top hopper, and one end of the output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the other end of the working roller.

[0010] In one possible design, a plurality of baffles are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the conveyor belt of the third conveyor, a baffle is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the top bin, and the bottom side of the baffle is in contact with the top of the plurality of baffles, and a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the other side of the bottom of the top bin, and the bottom of the limiting plate is located above the top of the baffles.

[0011] In one possible design, multiple limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the conveyor belts of both fourth conveyors, and the multiple limiting blocks are arranged in two equidistant columns. The distance between the two columns of limiting blocks is less than the width of the third conveyor, and a pallet is placed between the two columns of limiting blocks.

[0012] In one possible design, two receiving rollers are rotatably connected within the mounting frame, and the two receiving rollers are located between two fourth conveyors for connecting pallets between the two fourth conveyors.

[0013] In one possible design, the bottom inner wall of the transfer compartment is provided with a ramp, so that the mulberry leaves being circulated fall into the top compartment.

[0014] In this application, the tray for placing silkworms is placed on the fourth conveyor on the left side of the mounting frame, between two rows of limiting blocks. The distance between the two rows of limiting blocks is less than the width of the third conveyor. Two receiving rollers are provided between the two fourth conveyors to receive the tray. Mulberry leaves, crushed to equidistant sizes, are placed into the top compartment. The drive motor drives the working roller to rotate, and the rotation of the working roller gradually turns the mulberry leaves downward, achieving the effect of quantitatively turning the mulberry leaves downward. At the same time, a sprocket is fixedly fitted to one end of the working roller and one of the conveyor rollers of the third conveyor. The two sprockets are connected by a chain drive, thereby driving the third conveyor to rotate and transporting the mulberry leaves to one end of the third conveyor until they fall into the tray for placing silkworms. Meanwhile, the mulberry leaves falling on the third conveyor are protected and limited by a baffle. During mulberry leaf conveying, the limiting plate can also block the mulberry leaves to a certain extent, ensuring that the amount of mulberry leaves continuously conveyed by the third conveyor remains consistent. The mulberry leaves falling from the third conveyor into the pallet are positioned between the two fourth conveyors. At this time, the receiving rollers receive the pallet. The width of the third conveyor is greater than that of the pallet, so the mulberry leaves can fall evenly on both the inner and outer sides of the pallet, thus ensuring the amount of mulberry leaves on the inner edge of the pallet. At the same time, the mulberry leaves located on both sides of the pallet width fall from the outside of the pallet, pass through the gap between the two fourth conveyors and the two receiving rollers, and fall onto the second conveyor. The second conveyor then conveys the leaves to the first conveyor, and then to the inclined conveyor located at one end in the receiving bin. The inclined conveyor then conveys the leaves to the transfer bin, where they slide down the slope of the inner wall of the bottom of the transfer bin into the top bin for refeeding.

[0015] Beneficial effects: The silkworm feed precision quantitative feeding machine of this utility model realizes precise quantitative turning and conveying of mulberry leaves through the combination of working roller and third conveyor. This design ensures that the amount of mulberry leaves put into the silkworm tray each time is consistent, avoiding the problem of over- or under-feeding, and improving the utilization rate of feed and the growth efficiency of silkworms.

[0016] In this utility model, the silkworm feed precision quantitative feeding machine forms a closed-loop mulberry leaf recycling system through the coordinated action of the second conveyor, the first conveyor and the inclined conveyor in the transfer bin. This reduces waste of mulberry leaves. During the feeding process, the part of the mulberry leaves that falls outside the tray can be effectively collected and transported back to the feeding, thus maximizing the utilization of resources.

[0017] This invention demonstrates significant beneficial effects in terms of precise feeding, efficient recycling, flexible adaptability, compact structure, and promotion of healthy silkworm growth, and has high practical value and promising prospects for promotion. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1 to 3A precision quantitative feeding machine for silkworms is disclosed, which is used in the field of silkworm feeding. It includes a mounting frame 1, in which two fourth conveyors 17 are installed. A second conveyor 6 is located below the mounting frame 1 and is positioned below the two fourth conveyors 17, and is placed perpendicular to the two fourth conveyors 17. A first conveyor 5 is located on one side of the mounting frame 1 and is located below one end of the second conveyor 6. The second conveyor 6 and the first conveyor 5 are arranged in a T-shape. A receiving bin 4 is located at one end of the first conveyor 5. A top bin 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame 1. A transfer bin 10 is located on one side of the top bin 2. An inclined conveyor 3 is installed between the receiving bin 4 and the transfer bin 10, and the first conveyor 5 is located above one end of the inclined conveyor 3. Inside the mounting frame 1, two second conveyors 6 are installed for conveying pallets. The second conveyor 6 is located below the two fourth conveyors 17 and is placed vertically to convey fallen mulberry leaves. The first conveyor 5 is located below one end of the second conveyor 6 and is placed in a T-shape with the second conveyor 6. At one end of the first conveyor 5, a receiving bin 4 is set up. An inclined conveyor 3 is installed between the receiving bin 4 and the transfer bin 10. Thus, the mulberry leaves are conveyed to the first conveyor 5 by the second conveyor 6 and then conveyed to the transfer bin 10 by the inclined conveyor 3, achieving the cyclical conveying of fallen mulberry leaves.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 A working roller 11 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the top hopper 2. A third conveyor 12 is fixedly installed below the top hopper 2. A sprocket 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the working roller 11 and one end of the rotating roller of the third conveyor 12. The two sprockets 13 are connected by a chain 7. A drive motor is fixedly installed on one side of the top hopper 2, and one end of the output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the other end of the working roller 11. The drive motor drives the rotation of the working roller 11 and the third conveyor 12 through the transmission connection of the two sprockets 13 via the chain 7.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 Multiple baffles 16 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the conveyor belt of the third conveyor 12. A baffle 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the top bin 2, and the bottom side of the baffle 14 is in contact with the top of the multiple baffles 16. A limiting plate 15 is fixedly connected to the other side of the bottom of the top bin 2, and the bottom of the limiting plate 15 is located above the top of the baffles 16. The bottom side of the baffle 14 on one side of the bottom of the top bin 2 is in contact with the top of the multiple baffles 16 to prevent mulberry leaves from falling from the edge of the conveyor belt. The bottom of the limiting plate 15 on the other side of the bottom of the top bin 2 is located above the top of the baffles 16 to limit the conveying height of mulberry leaves and other feeds and prevent them from overflowing.

[0027] Reference Figure 2Multiple limiting blocks 9 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the conveyor belts of the two fourth conveyors 17. These limiting blocks 9 are arranged in two equidistant rows, with the distance between the two rows of limiting blocks 9 being less than the width of the third conveyor 12. The space between the two rows of limiting blocks 9 is used to place pallets. This smaller distance ensures that any mulberry leaves dropped by the third conveyor 12 are evenly distributed inside the pallet. Furthermore, the space between the two rows of limiting blocks 9 ensures the stability of the pallet during transport.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 Two receiving rollers 8 are rotatably connected within the mounting frame 1, and the two receiving rollers 8 are located between the two fourth conveyors 17 for connecting pallets between the two fourth conveyors 17. The two receiving rollers 8 are used to connect pallets between the two fourth conveyors 17 to ensure that pallets can be smoothly transferred from one fourth conveyor 17 to the other.

[0029] Example 2: Reference Figure 3 An improvement on Embodiment 1 is made by providing a ramp 18 on the bottom inner wall of the transfer chamber 10, allowing mulberry leaves to fall into the top chamber 2 during circulation. The mulberry leaves can then be circulated between the top chamber 2 and the transfer chamber 10, preventing waste.
