Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feed additive batching equipment, specifically a feed additive batching equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Feed additive batching equipment plays a vital role in modern animal husbandry. For example, it enables automated production and quantitative batching, significantly improving production efficiency while ensuring uniform distribution and accurate measurement of feed additives, thereby saving raw materials and energy, and increasing yield and product quality. Precise batching equipment can strictly adhere to relevant national standards to ensure feed quality and safety, providing consumers with healthier food. However, some unresolved issues remain in the use of feed additive batching equipment: Typically, these equipment only have one weighing device, requiring reweighing before each batch, which is inconvenient and time-consuming; often, there is no verification equipment, making it difficult to detect and alert when the weighing device malfunctions, potentially leading to significant losses due to batching problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above, this utility model provides a feed additive mixing device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: a feed additive dispensing device, comprising a main body, the main body including multiple weighing devices, a verification device, and a microcontroller, each weighing device being connected to the verification device, and the microcontroller being electrically connected to the weighing devices and the verification device respectively. Each weighing device includes a funnel for adding ingredients, multiple dispensing boxes for dispensing, and a support column supporting the dispensing boxes. The funnel is installed above the dispensing boxes. A rotating shaft is movably mounted on the support column, and a stepper motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate on the support column. The stepper motor is connected to the support column and the rotating shaft respectively. The dispensing boxes are evenly installed around the outside of the rotating shaft, and each dispensing box has a first weighing sensor at its bottom for weighing. The verification device includes a storage box for storing the ingredients, and a second weighing sensor for weighing verification is located at the bottom of the storage box. The output port of each dispensing box is connected to the input port of the storage box, and the output port of the storage box is connected to an external pipe. Solenoid valves are provided at the outlets of the funnel, dispensing boxes, and storage boxes.

[0005] Furthermore, the storage box is equipped with an alarm that issues warnings for abnormal signals. The alarm is electrically connected to the second weighing sensor. When the second weighing sensor fails to verify the data, the alarm will sound to alert the user.

[0006] Furthermore, the main body of the device is equipped with a switch, the output end of which is connected to the input end of a microcontroller. The microcontroller is electrically connected to a stepper motor, a first weighing sensor, a second weighing sensor, a solenoid valve, and an alarm.

Detailed Implementation

[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and some embodiments.

[0014] exist Figures 1-2A feed additive mixing device includes a main body 1, which comprises multiple weighing devices, a verification device, and a microcontroller 801. The main body 1 is a common type of mixing feed additive device. Each weighing device is connected to a verification device, and the microcontroller 801 is electrically connected to both the weighing and verification devices. Each weighing device includes a funnel 2 for adding ingredients, multiple dispensing boxes 3 for dispensing, and support columns 4 for supporting the dispensing boxes 3. The funnel 2 is installed above the dispensing boxes 3. A rotating shaft 401 is movably mounted on the support column 4, and a stepper motor 402 drives the rotating shaft 401 to rotate on the support column 4. The stepper motor 402 is connected to the support column 4 and the rotating shaft 401 respectively. Dispensing boxes 3 are evenly installed around the outside of the rotating shaft 401. Each dispensing box 3 has a first weighing sensor 301 at its bottom for weighing. The ingredients are poured into the corresponding funnel 2 and then added to the dispensing box 3. When the first weighing sensor 301 senses the weight to the set value, the solenoid valve 6 of the funnel 2 closes, and the stepper motor 402 stops rotating. Motor 402 drives shaft 401 to rotate, thereby rotating dispensing boxes 3, causing the next dispensing box 3 to rotate to the outlet of funnel 2, where it will then be dispensed. This cycle continues until all dispensing boxes 3 are filled with the specified weight of ingredients. The verification device includes a storage box 5 for storing the ingredients. The bottom of the storage box 5 is equipped with a second weighing sensor 501 for weighing verification. The output port of each dispensing box 3 is connected to the input port of the storage box 5, and the output port of the storage box 5 is connected to an external pipe. The funnel 2, dispensing boxes 3, and the outlet of the storage box 5 are all equipped with solenoid valves 6. When the ingredients arrive at the storage box 5, the second weighing sensor 501 senses the weight. If the weight is the same as that of the first weighing sensor 301, or within the error range, the solenoid valve 6 of the storage box 5 opens to deliver the ingredients to the next component. If the weight error between the second weighing sensor 501 and the first weighing sensor 301 is not within the specified range, the solenoid valve 6 on the storage box 5 will not open to prevent incorrectly proportioned ingredients from flowing to the next stage and reduce ingredient loss.

[0015] In this embodiment, the storage box 5 is equipped with an alarm 7 that issues an alarm for abnormal signals. The alarm 7 is electrically connected to the second weighing sensor 501. When the second weighing sensor 501 verifies an error, the alarm will sound an alarm to remind the user.

[0016] In this embodiment, the main body 1 of the device is provided with a switch 8. The output end of the switch 8 is connected to the input end of the microcontroller 801. The microcontroller 801 is electrically connected to the stepper motor 402, the first weighing sensor 301, the second weighing sensor 501, the solenoid valve 6, and the alarm 7. The microcontroller 801 is installed inside the switch 8, and the main body 1 of the device is operated through the microcontroller 801 inside the switch 8.

[0017] In this embodiment, the main body 1 of the device is provided with a power cord 9 for connecting to an external power source. The power cord 9 is electrically connected to the switch 8, and the external power source is connected through the power cord 9 to provide power to the main body 1 of the device.

[0018] In this embodiment, the number of weighing devices and the number of dispensing boxes 3 are not less than two. During the manufacturing process, different numbers of weighing devices and dispensing boxes 3 will be manufactured, which can be selected according to the actual situation.

[0019] In this embodiment, the microcontroller 801 is a common electrical component, such as a microcontroller of model AT89C2051 or TMS320VC5509A.

[0020] In this embodiment, the first weighing sensor 301 and the second weighing sensor 501 are common weighing sensor devices, such as the HX711 weighing sensor.

[0021] In this embodiment, the solenoid valve 6 is a common solenoid valve device, such as a 4V series solenoid valve.

[0022] In this embodiment, the stepper motor 402 is a common stepper motor device, such as a 57 series two-phase stepper motor.

[0023] In this embodiment, the control circuit of this utility model is a common circuit in the field of circuits. The device of this utility model can be connected to an external power source or a built-in battery through a power cord to provide power to the device. Those skilled in the art can implement it, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0024] In practical implementation, this utility model is used as follows: When connected to an external power source via power cord 9, switch 8 is turned on, and the main body 1 of the device is operated via switch 8. The entire process is controlled by the microcontroller 801, which receives and transmits signals to pour ingredients into the corresponding funnel 2, and then adds them to the dispensing box 3. When the first weighing sensor 301 detects the weight reaching the set value, the solenoid valve 6 of the funnel 2 closes, and the stepper motor 402 drives the rotating shaft 401 to rotate, causing the next dispensing box 3 to rotate to the outlet of the funnel 2 for dispensing. This cycle continues until all dispensing boxes 3 are filled with the specified weight of ingredients. Subsequently, during the first addition, the solenoid valve 6 on the first dispensing box 3 opens, conveying the ingredients to the storage box. 5. During the second feeding, the solenoid valve 6 on the second dispensing box 3 opens, conveying the ingredients to the storage box 5. This cycle is repeated to reduce feeding time. When the ingredients arrive at the storage box 5, the second weighing sensor 501 detects the weight. If the weight is consistent with that of the first weighing sensor 301 or within the error range, the solenoid valve 6 of the storage box 5 opens to convey the ingredients to the next component. If the weight error between the second weighing sensor 501 and the first weighing sensor 301 is not within the specified range, an alarm is triggered, and the solenoid valve 6 on the storage box 5 will not open, preventing incorrectly proportioned ingredients from flowing to the next stage and reducing ingredient loss. This achieves the purpose of weighing and verifying the entire feeding process.
