Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed additive technology, and in particular to a mixing tank for producing feed additives. Background Technology

[0002] Feed additives refer to small or trace amounts of substances added during feed production, processing, and use. Although the amount used in feed is very small, the effect is significant. Feed additives are essential raw materials used in the modern feed industry and have obvious effects on enhancing the nutritional value of basic feed, improving animal production performance, ensuring animal health, saving feed costs, and improving the quality of livestock products.

[0003] In the prior art, such as Chinese Patent No. CN216024585U, a mixing tank for producing feed additives is disclosed. This tank includes an open-top body and a cover over the opening. The cover has multiple feed inlets communicating with the tank body, and the tank body has a discharge outlet at its bottom. From top to bottom, the tank body contains a pre-crushing device, a spraying device, and a mixing device. The cover has a driving device. In this invention, the pre-crushing device can crush larger solid feed particles into smaller solid feed particles, improving the efficiency of mixing with liquid feed. The smaller solid feed particles are initially mixed with the liquid feed, and finally, the solid and liquid feeds are thoroughly mixed by a stirring fan. This series of operations improves the efficiency of mixing solid and liquid feeds. Simultaneously, the evenly spaced nozzles on the spraying device ensure more thorough mixing of the solid and liquid feeds, resulting in a better mixing effect.

[0004] While the above-mentioned solution has the advantages mentioned above, its disadvantages are as follows: during use, due to the crushing of a large number of large solid feed particles, uneven crushing may occur. This results in incompletely crushed solid feed being directly introduced into the mixing tank for mixing, which reduces the mixing quality of liquid and solid feed and affects the mixing effect of feed additives. Furthermore, after mixing, it is difficult to clean the feed adhering to the inner wall, requiring manual cleaning, which is very troublesome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, affecting the next mixing operation and reducing the mixing efficiency of feed additives. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that in the existing technology, when a large amount of large-particle solid feed is crushed, uneven crushing occurs, resulting in incompletely crushed solid feed being directly introduced into the mixing tank for mixing. This reduces the mixing quality of liquid and solid feed, affecting the mixing effect of feed additives. Furthermore, after mixing, it is difficult to clean the feed adhering to the inner wall, requiring manual cleaning, which is troublesome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, affecting the next mixing operation and reducing the mixing efficiency of feed additives.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a mixing tank for producing feed additives, comprising a collection box and a mixing drum. An inlet plate is fixedly connected to the top of the collection box, and a shell is fixedly connected to the top of the inlet plate. A crushing device is fixedly installed on the top of the shell. An auger conveyor is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the collection box, and one end of the auger conveyor is fixedly embedded inside the mixing drum. Sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the shell, and screens are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two sliding grooves. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the shell. A reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate near its center. A motor is fixedly installed to the top of the fixing plate near its edge. A rotating plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the rotating plate, and a swing rod is movably connected to the outer surface of the cylinder. A hollow column is fixedly embedded on one side of the outer surface of the shell.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, a pull rod is slidably connected inside the hollow column, and the inner walls of the pull rod are movably connected to both sides of the outer surface of the swing rod. One end of the pull rod is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the screen.

[0008] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the pull rod drives the screen to move in a cyclical motion, and the already crushed solid feed on the screen surface is screened, which facilitates the screening.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a feed hopper is fixedly connected to the top of the mixing drum near its edge, and a motor is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the mixing drum.

[0010] The technical advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that liquid feed is poured into the inside of the mixing drum through the feed hopper, which facilitates the introduction of liquid feed.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to a main shaft, and multiple stirring rods are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the main shaft.

[0012] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by starting motor two, the output end of motor two starts to drive the main shaft to rotate forward. While the main shaft rotates forward, it drives multiple stirring rods to perform circular motion, and uses multiple stirring rods to fully stir and mix the feed inside the mixing drum.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of connecting rods are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the spindle.

[0014] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the output end of motor two drives the main shaft to rotate in the forward direction.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a scraper is fixedly connected to one end of each of the plurality of connecting rods.

[0016] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that while the main shaft rotates forward, it drives multiple scrapers to perform circumferential motion, and the multiple scrapers clean the residual feed adhering to the inner wall of the mixing drum, which facilitates cleaning.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the mixing drum is fixedly connected to a plurality of support legs near the edge.

[0018] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that multiple support legs provide support for the mixing drum.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, a sealing door is hinged to the center of the bottom of the stirring tank.

[0020] The technical advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it makes it easier to open the sealed door and take out the mixed feed from the mixing drum.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] This invention involves pouring larger solid feed particles into a crushing device and starting the device. After crushing, the solid feed falls onto the outer surface of a screen. The operator then turns on the external power supply to motor one, which drives a rotating plate in a circular motion. Simultaneously, the rotating plate drives a cylinder in a synchronous motion, which in turn drives a swing rod in a circular cycle. The swing rod then pulls a reciprocating lever back and forth within the hollow column, limiting its trajectory. This reciprocating motion of the lever causes the screen to circulate and screen the crushed solid feed. Thoroughly crushed solid feed falls into a collection box via a guide plate, thus completing the screening process. This method enables the crushing of large quantities of larger solid feed particles, preventing uneven crushing and avoiding the direct entry of incompletely crushed solid feed into the mixing tank. It also improves the mixing quality of liquid and solid feed, enhancing the mixing effect of feed additives.

[0023] This invention utilizes an auger conveyor to transfer pre-screened solid feed into a mixing drum. Liquid feed is then poured into the drum through a hopper. After pouring, the operator turns on the external power supply to motor two and starts it using a controller. Motor two's output drives the main shaft to rotate forward, simultaneously driving multiple stirring rods in a circular motion to thoroughly mix the feed inside the drum. Once mixing is complete, the operator opens the sealed door and removes the mixed feed. To facilitate cleaning any feed adhering to the drum's inner wall, motor two is restarted, driving the main shaft to rotate forward. This rotation also drives multiple scrapers in a circular motion to remove any remaining feed. This process eliminates the need for manual cleaning, saving time and effort, and does not affect subsequent mixing operations, thus improving the mixing efficiency of feed additive production.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a mixing tank for producing feed additives, including a collection box 1 and a mixing drum 2. An inlet plate 101 is fixedly connected to the top of the collection box 1, and a shell 102 is fixedly connected to the top of the inlet plate 101. A crushing device 105 is fixedly installed on the top of the shell 102. An auger conveyor 106 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the collection box 1, and one end of the auger conveyor 106 is fixedly embedded inside the mixing drum 2. Slide grooves 114 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the shell 102, and screens 113 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two slide grooves 114. A fixing plate 103 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the shell 102. A reinforcing plate 107 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 103 near the center. A motor 104 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed plate 103 near the edge. A rotating plate 108 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 104. A cylinder 109 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the rotating plate 108. A swing rod 110 is movably connected to the outer surface of the cylinder 109. A hollow column 112 is fixedly embedded in one side of the outer surface of the outer shell 102. A pull rod 111 is slidably connected inside the hollow column 112. The inner walls of the pull rod 111 are movably connected to both sides of the outer surface of the swing rod 110. One end of the pull rod 111 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the screen 113.

[0032] In this embodiment, by pouring larger solid feed particles into the crushing device 105 and starting the crushing device 105, the solid feed falls onto the outer surface of the screen 113 after being crushed by the crushing device 105. At this time, the operator turns on the external power supply of the motor 104 and starts the motor 104. The output end of the motor 104 drives the rotating plate 108 to perform circular motion. At the same time as the rotating plate 108 performs circular motion, it drives the cylinder 109 to perform synchronous motion. The cylinder 109 starts to drive the swing rod 110 to move. The swing rod 110 performs circular circular motion and starts to pull the pull rod 111 back and forth in a cyclical pulling motion. Rod 111 moves within hollow column 112 and limits the movement trajectory of pull rod 111. At this time, pull rod 111 drives screen 113 to reciprocate in a cycle and screens the already crushed solid feed on the surface of screen 113. The thoroughly crushed solid feed will fall into collection box 1 through guide plate 101, thus completing the screening of solid feed. This enables the crushing of a large number of large solid feed particles, preventing uneven crushing and avoiding the direct entry of incompletely crushed solid feed into the mixing tank for mixing. This improves the mixing quality of liquid and solid feed and enhances the mixing effect of feed additives.

[0033] Example 2, as Figure 1-4 As shown, a feeding hopper 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the mixing drum 2 near the edge. A motor 201 is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the mixing drum 2. A main shaft 203 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 201. Multiple stirring rods 205 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the main shaft 203. Multiple connecting rods 204 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the main shaft 203. A scraper 208 is fixedly connected to one end of each of the multiple connecting rods 204. Multiple support legs 207 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mixing drum 2 near the edge. A sealing door 206 is connected to the center of the bottom of the mixing drum 2 via a hinge.

[0034] In this embodiment, the auger inside the auger conveyor 106 transports the screened solid feed to the mixing drum 2. Then, the liquid feed is poured into the mixing drum 2 through the feed hopper 202. After pouring, the operator turns on the external power supply of the second motor 201 and starts the motor 201 using the controller. The output end of the second motor 201 starts to drive the main shaft 203 to rotate forward. While the main shaft 203 rotates forward, it drives multiple stirring rods 205 to rotate in a circular motion, and the multiple stirring rods 205 are used to fully stir and mix the feed inside the mixing drum 2. After stirring and mixing is completed, the operator opens the sealing door 206. After the feed is mixed in the mixing drum 2, it is removed. To facilitate cleaning the feed adhering to the inner wall of the mixing drum 2, the operator starts the motor 201 again. The output end of the motor 201 drives the main shaft 203 to rotate forward. While the main shaft 203 rotates forward, it drives multiple scrapers 208 to rotate in a circular motion. The scrapers 208 are used to clean the residual feed adhering to the inner wall of the mixing drum 2 and scrape off the residual feed. This makes it easy to clean the feed adhering to the inner wall after mixing without manual cleaning. It is very simple, saves time and effort, does not affect the next mixing operation, and improves the mixing efficiency of feed additive production.

[0035] Working Principle: During operation, the operator first pours larger solid feed particles into the crushing device 105 and starts the device. After crushing by the device, the solid feed falls onto the outer surface of the screen 113. At this time, the operator turns on the external power supply to the motor 104, starting it. The output of the motor 104 drives the rotating plate 108 in a circular motion. Simultaneously, the rotating plate 108 drives the cylinder 109 in a synchronous motion. The cylinder 109 then drives the swing rod 110 in a circular cycle, pulling the pull rod 111 back and forth. The ring-pull motion involves the pull rod 111 moving within the hollow column 112, with its trajectory limited. Simultaneously, the pull rod 111 drives the screen 113 in a cyclical reciprocating motion, screening the already pulverized solid feed on its surface. Thoroughly pulverized solid feed falls into the collection box 1 through the guide plate 101, thus completing the screening process. This allows for the pulverization of large quantities of larger solid feed particles, preventing uneven pulverization and avoiding the direct entry of incompletely pulverized solid feed into the mixing tank. This improves the mixing quality of liquid and solid feed, enhancing feed production efficiency. To assess the mixing effect of the additives, the operator activates the auger conveyor 106. The auger inside 106 transfers the pre-screened solid feed to the mixing drum 2. Then, liquid feed is poured into the mixing drum 2 through the feed hopper 202. After pouring, the operator turns on the external power supply to motor 201 and starts it using the controller. The output of motor 201 drives the main shaft 203 to rotate forward. Simultaneously, the main shaft 203 drives multiple stirring rods 205 in circular motion, thoroughly mixing the feed inside the mixing drum 2. After mixing is complete, the operator... Personnel open the sealed door 206 and remove the mixed feed from the mixing drum 2. To facilitate cleaning the feed adhering to the inner wall of the mixing drum 2, the personnel start the second motor 201. The output end of the second motor 201 drives the main shaft 203 to rotate forward. While the main shaft 203 rotates forward, it drives multiple scrapers 208 to move in a circular motion. The scrapers 208 are used to clean the residual feed adhering to the inner wall of the mixing drum 2, scraping off the residual feed. This makes it easy to clean the feed adhering to the inner wall after mixing without manual cleaning. It is very simple, saves time and effort, does not affect the next mixing operation, and improves the mixing efficiency of feed additive production.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
