Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical technology, and in particular to a feed conveying system. Background Technology

[0002] Livestock farming refers to the process of using the physiological functions of domesticated animals such as livestock and poultry, or wild animals such as deer, musk deer, foxes, minks, otters, and quails, through artificial breeding and raising, to convert plant energy such as pasture and feed into animal energy, in order to obtain livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, hides, silk, and medicinal materials. In livestock farming, automated feed delivery systems are typically used to feed each pen. Chinese Patent Publication No. CN217905713U discloses a mechanized pipeline conveying device for pig feed, which includes a pipe body and multiple feed hoppers. The feed hoppers are installed below the pipe body via solenoid valves. Controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valves allows feed conveyed in the pipe body to be fed into the feed hoppers below. However, because the solenoid valves are connected between the pipe body and the feed hoppers via connecting pipes, a certain amount of feed will accumulate in the section of the connecting pipe above the solenoid valve when the solenoid valve is closed. Feed that accumulates in the connecting pipe for a long time is prone to spoilage. This spoiled feed can then be transported to the feed hopper along with the new feed, potentially causing illness in the animals. Therefore, the technical problem this invention aims to solve is how to design a technology to reduce feed accumulation and improve feed quality. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a feed conveying system that reduces feed accumulation and improves the feed delivery quality of the system.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model provides a material conveying assembly, which includes a material conveying pipe and a material pushing component disposed in the material conveying pipe; the material conveying pipe is provided with an inlet and at least one discharge outlet is provided on the pipe wall;

[0006] A feeding assembly includes a hopper, a shielding component, and a driving component. The bottom of the hopper is provided with a discharge port. The shielding component is movably disposed in the hopper. The driving component is connected to the shielding component and configured to drive the shielding component to move in the hopper.

[0007] The feeding assembly is located below the discharge port, the hopper is disposed on the conveying pipe, and the blocking component is configured to open and close the discharge port; and when the discharge port is closed, the blocking component covers the discharge port.

[0008] In one embodiment of this application, the top of the hopper is provided with two oppositely arranged mounting ports, and the conveying pipe passes through the two mounting ports.

[0009] In one embodiment of this application, the shielding component has an arc-shaped structure, and an arc-shaped guide portion is provided in the hopper. The shielding component is slidably disposed in the hopper around the outside of the conveying pipe along the arc-shaped guide portion.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, the driving component includes a motor and a gear, the gear is disposed on the main shaft of the motor, and the shielding component is provided with an arc-shaped rack, the rack meshing with the gear;

[0011] Alternatively, the driving component may be a pull rope that extends into the hopper and is connected to the shielding component.

[0012] In one embodiment of this application, the driving component is a rotating shaft rotatably disposed in the hopper, the rotating shaft is provided with a connecting arm, and the blocking component is disposed on the connecting arm.

[0013] In one embodiment of this application, the pushing component is an auger, the auger is disposed in the conveying pipe, and the inlet is provided at one end of the conveying pipe;

[0014] Alternatively, the conveying pipe may be a ring structure, and the pushing component may be a feeding chain disposed in the conveying pipe.

[0015] In one embodiment of this application, it further includes:

[0016] A feed bin assembly includes a storage bin, a weighing device, a temporary storage bin, and a feed pushing mechanism. The storage bin has a feeding port at its upper part and an outlet at its lower part. The feed pushing mechanism has an inlet and an outlet, and is configured to push feed entering through the inlet to the outlet for output. The inlet is connected to the outlet, the temporary storage bin is located below the outlet, and the storage bin is mounted on the weighing device.

[0017] The feed inlet is connected to the temporary storage box.

[0018] In one embodiment of this application, the end of the conveying pipe having the inlet is inserted into the temporary storage box, and the inlet is located inside the temporary storage box.

[0019] In one embodiment of this application, a discharge pipe is provided on the discharge port, an opening is provided on the temporary storage box, and the discharge pipe is suspended in the opening.

[0020] In one embodiment of this application, the feed pushing mechanism includes an installation pipe, a spiral blade, and a first motor. The installation pipe is provided with the inlet and the outlet. The spiral blade is disposed in the installation pipe. The first motor is configured to drive the spiral blade to rotate in the installation pipe.

[0021] Alternatively, the feed pushing mechanism includes an annular channel, a chain, and a second motor. The annular channel is provided with the inlet and the outlet. Multiple sprockets are provided in the annular channel. Multiple baffles are provided on the chain. The chain is disposed in the annular channel and wound around the sprockets. The second motor is configured to drive at least one of the sprockets to rotate.

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model has the following technical effects compared with the prior art: By setting a blocking component in the hopper, the hopper is set on the conveying pipe and the blocking component can directly block the discharge port on the conveying pipe. In this way, during the feed conveying process, all the feed output from the discharge port of the conveying pipe can fall into the hopper. Furthermore, after the blocking component closes the discharge port of the conveying pipe, the blocking component is attached to the conveying pipe, so that no material will accumulate between the conveying pipe and the hopper at the bottom, thereby reducing feed accumulation and improving the feed feeding quality of the feed conveying system.

[0023] In addition, for the feed bin assembly, by setting a feed pushing mechanism at the bottom of the storage bin and configuring a relatively independent temporary storage bin below the discharge port of the feed pushing mechanism, the feeding assembly conveys the feed in the temporary storage bin to the outside and feeds the feed through the discharge port. During the feeding process, since the feed pushing mechanism and the temporary storage bin are independent of each other, the force generated by the auger conveying pipe on the temporary storage bin during the material conveying process will not affect the storage bin at the top. As a result, the weight of the storage bin can be more accurately measured by a weighing device, ensuring more accurate output of quantitative feed and improving feeding accuracy.

[0042] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a feed conveying system, including:

[0043] The material conveying assembly 2 includes a material conveying pipe 21 and a pushing component (not shown) disposed in the material conveying pipe 21; the material conveying pipe 21 is provided with an inlet (not shown), and at least one discharge port 211 is provided on the pipe wall of the material conveying pipe 21;

[0044] Feeding assembly 3 includes a hopper 31, a shielding component 32 and a driving component 33. The bottom of the hopper 31 is provided with a discharge port 311. The shielding component 32 is movably disposed in the hopper. The driving component 33 is connected to the shielding component 32 and is configured to drive the shielding component 32 to move in the hopper 31.

[0045] The feeding assembly 3 is disposed below the discharge port 211, the hopper is disposed on the conveying pipe 21, and the blocking component 32 is configured to open and close the discharge port 211; and when the discharge port 211 is closed, the blocking component 32 covers the discharge port 211.

[0046] Specifically, the feeding assembly 2 meets the requirements of feeding to different feeding assemblies 3 through the feeding pipe 21, and the pushing component operates in the feeding pipe 21 to make the feed in the feeding pipe 21 move within the feeding pipe 21.

[0047] The discharge port 211 on the feed pipe 21 is controlled by the blocking component 32 in the hopper 31. When the blocking component 32 opens the discharge port 211 corresponding to the hopper 31, the feed moves to the discharge port 211 during the feed conveying process in the feed pipe 21, and the feed will fall into the hopper, and then supply feed to the corresponding breeding area through the hopper 31 box.

[0048] When the blocking component 32 in the hopper 31 blocks and closes the discharge port 211 of the conveying pipe 21 under the action of the driving component 33, the feed in the conveying pipe 21 will not accumulate when it moves to the closed discharge port 211, as the blocking component 32 is attached to the conveying pipe 21. This avoids the feed from accumulating in the same position for a long time and deteriorating, thus affecting the overall quality of the feed.

[0049] When the shielding component 32 reopens the discharge port 211 at the corresponding position for refeeding, a large amount of accumulated and deteriorated feed will not enter the hopper, thus ensuring the high-quality conveying requirements of the feed.

[0050] By installing a shielding component 32 in the hopper 31, which is located on the conveying pipe 21, the shielding component 32 can directly block the discharge port 211 on the conveying pipe 21. In this way, during the feed conveying process, all the feed output from the discharge port 211 of the conveying pipe 21 can fall into the hopper. Furthermore, after the shielding component 32 closes the discharge port 211 of the conveying pipe 21, the shielding component 32 abuts against the conveying pipe 21, so that no material will accumulate between the conveying pipe 21 and the hopper 31 at the bottom, thereby reducing feed accumulation and improving the feed feeding quality of the feed conveying system.

[0051] In one embodiment of this application, the top of the hopper 31 is provided with two oppositely arranged mounting ports 312, and the conveying pipe 21 passes through the two mounting ports 312.

[0052] Specifically, for ease of assembly, the hopper 31 in the feeding assembly 3 is connected and fixed to the conveying pipe 21 through the mounting ports 312 on both sides. The conveying pipe 21 is directly inserted into the mounting port 312 so that the hopper is suspended on the conveying pipe 21, and the main body of the hopper 31 is located below the discharge port 211.

[0053] In one embodiment, the shielding component 32 has an arc-shaped structure, and the hopper 31 is provided with an arc-shaped guide portion 313. The shielding component 32 is slidably disposed in the hopper around the outside of the conveying pipe 21 along the arc-shaped guide portion 313.

[0054] Specifically, the hopper is equipped with an arc-shaped guide 313 at the installation port 312 to guide the blocking component 32. Under the action of the driving component 33, the arc-shaped blocking component 32 can slide smoothly and stably in the hopper 31 along the arc-shaped guide 313, thereby enabling more reliable opening and closing of the discharge port 211 on the feed pipe 21.

[0055] The physical form of the shielding component 32 can be a shielding plate or a sleeve with a hollow structure, which will not be limited or elaborated here.

[0056] There are several ways to drive the blocking component 32 to slide in the hopper 31 via the driving component 33. For example, it can be driven manually or electrically.

[0057] In manual drive mode, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the driving component 33 is a pull rope, which extends into the hopper 31 and is connected to the shielding component 32.

[0058] Specifically, the user pulls the rope to make the blocking component 32 rotate in the hopper 31, so that the blocking component 32 opens and closes the discharge port 211 of the conveying pipe, thereby enabling the blocking component 32 to slide in the hopper 31 by the driving component 33.

[0059] In electric drive mode, the drive component 33 includes a motor and a gear. The gear is mounted on the main shaft of the motor, and the shielding component 32 is provided with an arc-shaped rack that meshes with the gear.

[0060] In another embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the driving component 33 is a rotating shaft 331 rotatably disposed in the hopper 31, and a connecting arm 332 is disposed on the rotating shaft 331, and the blocking component 32 is disposed on the connecting arm 332.

[0061] Specifically, the drive component 33 has a rotating shaft 331 to input power. The rotating shaft 331 drives the blocking component 32 through the connecting arm 332 to open and close the discharge port 211 on the feed pipe 21, so as to realize the opening and closing of the discharge port 211.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pushing component is an auger, which is installed in the conveying pipe 21, and the inlet is provided at one end of the conveying pipe 21.

[0063] Or, such as Figure 11 As shown, the conveying pipe 21 has a ring structure, and the pushing component is a feeding chain installed in the conveying pipe 21.

[0064] In Embodiment 2, based on Embodiment 1 above, the feed conveying system provided in this application further includes a feed bin assembly 1, which includes a storage bin 11, a weighing device 12, a temporary storage bin 14, and a feed pushing mechanism 13. The storage bin 11 has a feeding port (unmarked) at its upper part and an outlet (unmarked) at its lower part. The feed pushing mechanism 13 has an inlet (unmarked) and a discharge port (unmarked), and is configured to push feed entering through the inlet to the discharge port for output. The inlet is connected to the outlet, the temporary storage bin 14 is located below the discharge port, and the storage bin 11 is mounted on the weighing device 12.

[0065] The feed inlet is connected to the temporary storage box 14.

[0066] Specifically, the feed conveying system provided in this application stores feed in a feed bin and achieves quantitative feed output. The quantitatively output feed is conveyed by the conveying component 2 and finally fed through the corresponding open discharge port.

[0067] As the feed is being discharged from the storage bin 11, the conveying assembly 2 also simultaneously delivers feed to the corresponding discharge port. To avoid the conveying assembly 2 affecting the weighing of the storage bin 11 by the weighing device 12, the feed discharged from the storage bin 11 is first stored in the temporary storage box 14, and the temporary storage box 14 supplies feed to the conveying assembly 2.

[0068] The specific process is as follows: During the quantitative discharge of feed from the storage bin 11, a weighing device 12 is used to weigh the storage bin 11. As the storage bin 11 discharges feed, the weighing device 12 accurately measures the weight change of the storage bin 11, thereby calculating the amount of feed discharged. A feed pushing mechanism 13 located at the bottom of the storage bin 11 discharges the feed from the storage bin 11. During the discharge process, the weighing device 12 measures the overall weight of the storage bin 11 in real time to calculate the amount of feed discharged. An independent feed pushing mechanism 13 is installed on the storage bin 11 to transport the feed outwards, and a temporary storage box 14 receives the feed below the discharge port. Since the feed pushing mechanism 13 and the temporary storage box 14 are relatively independent, the feeding component 2 will exert force on the temporary storage box 14 during the feeding process, but the temporary storage box 14 will not transmit the force to the storage box 11, thereby avoiding the impact of the operation of the feeding component 2 on the weighing of the storage box 11.

[0069] In this way, the feed output from the feed pushing mechanism 13 is the feed output amount set by the user, so as to accurately measure the feed output amount and achieve precise quantitative feeding. At the same time, the operating time of the feeding component 2 can be extended to ensure that the feed in the temporary storage box 14 is delivered out, and also to ensure that the feed in the feeding pipe 21 is completely delivered to the discharge port, thereby improving the accuracy of feed feeding.

[0070] The discharge port is provided with a discharge pipe 131, and the temporary storage box 14 is provided with an opening, with the discharge pipe 131 suspended in the opening.

[0071] Specifically, the feed output from the feed pushing mechanism 13 is transported to the temporary storage box 14 via the discharge pipe 131 to prevent the feed from scattering to the outside. Furthermore, since the discharge pipe 131 is suspended in the opening of the temporary storage box 14, it not only meets the requirement of reliable feed feeding to prevent scattering to the outside, but also ensures that there is no force transmission between the temporary storage box 14 and the feed pushing mechanism 13, thereby improving the accuracy of weighing.

[0072] In addition, to facilitate opening and closing the discharge port, a feeding component 3 or a manual feeding valve can be installed on the discharge port.

[0073] In some embodiments of this application, the end of the feed pipe 21 having the feed inlet is inserted into the temporary storage box 14, and the feed inlet is located inside the temporary storage box 14.

[0074] Specifically, the feed in the temporary storage box 14 enters the conveying pipe 21 through the feed inlet. One end of the conveying pipe 21 is inserted into the temporary storage box 14 so that the feed inlet is located at the bottom of the temporary storage box 14. In this way, the feed in the temporary storage box 14 can enter the feed inlet at the bottom under the action of gravity and be conveyed by the auger.

[0075] In another embodiment, the bottom of the temporary storage box 14 is provided with an opening, and the feed port is connected to the opening.

[0076] Specifically, the feed pipe 21 can be set outside the temporary storage box 14 and below the temporary storage box 14. The feed inlet is connected to the opening at the bottom of the temporary storage box 14, and the feed in the temporary storage box 14 enters the feed inlet through the opening.

[0077] The longitudinal section of the temporary storage box 14 is a V-shaped structure.

[0078] Specifically, the V-shaped temporary storage box 14 can automatically guide the feed to flow to the bottom so that it can smoothly enter the conveying pipe for transport.

[0079] In one embodiment of this application, the portion of the material conveying pipe 21 connected to the temporary storage box 14 extends along the length direction of the temporary storage box 14 and is arranged on the temporary storage box 14.

[0080] Specifically, in order to increase the feeding speed of the conveying pipe 21, the inlet can be extended along the length of the temporary storage box 14 to achieve communication with the inside of the temporary storage box 14.

[0081] Furthermore, the material bin 1 also includes an installation frame 15, on which are arranged uprights 16, and the storage bin 11 is disposed between the two uprights 16 arranged opposite each other.

[0082] Specifically, the storage bin 11 is suspended in the air by two vertically arranged supports 16. As for the weighing device 12, it can be set at the bottom of the mounting frame 15 to support the storage bin 11. Alternatively, the weighing device 12 can be set between the supports 16 and the storage bin 11.

[0083] In addition, the bottom of the storage bin 11 has a funnel-shaped structure, and the outlet is arranged at the bottom of the funnel-shaped structure.

[0084] Furthermore, the feed pushing mechanism 13 can have various structural forms. For example, the feed pushing mechanism 13 can be an auger conveyor, which includes an installation pipe, helical blades, and a first motor. The installation pipe is provided with the inlet and the outlet. The helical blades are disposed in the installation pipe, and the first motor is configured to drive the helical blades to rotate in the installation pipe.

[0085] Alternatively, the feed pushing mechanism 13 includes an annular channel, a chain, and a second motor. The annular channel has the inlet and the outlet. Multiple sprockets are arranged in the annular channel, and multiple baffles are arranged on the chain. The chain is disposed within the annular channel and wound around the sprockets. The second motor is configured to drive at least one of the sprockets to rotate. The chain and baffle structure of the feed pushing mechanism 13 can refer to the driving method of the feeding chain in the conveying assembly 2 described above, and will not be limited or elaborated upon here.

[0086] The technical solution of this utility model has the following technical effects compared with the prior art: By setting a feed pushing mechanism at the bottom of the storage box and configuring a relatively independent temporary storage box below the discharge port of the feed pushing mechanism, the conveying component transports the feed in the temporary storage box to the outside and feeds the feed through the discharge port. During the process of conveying feed by the conveying component, since the feed pushing mechanism and the temporary storage box are independent of each other, the force generated by the auger conveying pipe on the temporary storage box during the material conveying process will not affect the storage box at the top. Therefore, the weight of the storage box can be more accurately measured by the weighing device, ensuring more accurate output of quantitative feed and improving feeding accuracy.

[0087] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
