Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of aquaculture machinery technology, and in particular relates to a feed storage device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, feed bins are commonly used in livestock farms to store feed, meeting the requirements for temporary storage and external feed delivery. These feed bins typically have an auger at the bottom to convey the feed outwards. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN219939326U discloses a quantitative feeding system, which includes a bin, a feed delivery mechanism, and a support frame. The bottom of the bin has a funnel-shaped discharge structure that works in conjunction with the feed delivery mechanism to deliver the feed outwards.
[0003] In actual use, as the feed pushing mechanism continuously delivers feed, the feed in the container flows towards the funnel-shaped discharge structure at the bottom. Over time, a depression forms in the middle of the feed within the container, with feed from the surrounding areas continuously flowing downwards towards the center. However, as the feed decreases, the portion of feed near the container walls experiences greater friction, causing it to adhere to the walls and become unable to be discharged. This results in feed accumulation in the storage device, leading to lower reliability.
[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved in this application is how to design a technology to reduce the residual feed inside the storage device in order to improve its reliability. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This application provides a storage device that reduces residual feed inside the storage device to improve its reliability.
[0006] To achieve the above technical objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] In one aspect, this application provides a material storage device, comprising:
[0008] A material bin includes two end plates and two side plates; the end plates are arranged vertically, and the lower part of each end plate has an extension portion, the width of which gradually decreases from top to bottom; the lower part of each side plate has a bent portion, which bends towards the inside of the material bin; the two side plates are arranged opposite to each other and connected between the two end plates, and the end of the bent portion is connected to the corresponding side of the extension portion; the lower edge of the bent portion and the lower edge of the extension portion form a material discharge port;
[0009] A conveying mechanism includes a conveying housing and a conveying component. The top of the conveying housing is provided with a connection port, and one end of the conveying housing is also provided with a discharge port. The conveying component is movably disposed in the conveying housing and is configured to drive the material in the conveying housing toward the discharge port.
[0010] The connection port extends along the length of the discharge port and is connected to the discharge port.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this application are as follows: By setting a side plate between two vertically arranged end plates, a bent portion is formed at the bottom of the side plate, and correspondingly, an extension portion is set at the bottom of the end plate. The configuration of the extension portion and the bent portion will form a material dropping area with a conical longitudinal section. The material dropping area extends laterally along the length direction, and the formed material dropping port extends along the length direction to form a strip-shaped opening. During use, the material in the hopper accumulates in the material dropping area under the action of gravity. After the conveying mechanism is started, the conveying component will drive the material at the bottom to be output outward. The material will gradually sink into the conveying shell from the position away from the discharge port and be pushed out by the conveying component. In this way, the material in the hopper will gradually sink and be output from the back to the front in the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism, thereby avoiding the formation of a depression in the middle of the hopper, which would prevent the material around the perimeter from being completely and effectively discharged. At the same time, since the end plates are arranged vertically, the friction between the material and the end plates is small, which is more conducive to the material falling under the action of gravity, thereby reducing the residual feed inside the storage device and improving its reliability.
[0012] Furthermore, the hopper is configured such that, during the process of the conveying mechanism outputting materials outward through the discharge port, materials in the hopper located away from the discharge port area first fall into the conveying mechanism.
[0013] Furthermore, the hopper also includes at least one partition, which is vertically arranged in the hopper and connected between the two bends.
[0014] Furthermore, the hopper is configured such that, during the process of the conveying mechanism outputting materials outward through the discharge port, the material in the hopper located on the side of the partition away from the discharge port falls into the conveying mechanism first.
[0015] Furthermore, a gap is formed between the lower edge of the partition and the material discharge port.
[0016] Furthermore, a plurality of partitions are provided between the two bending portions, with adjacent partitions spaced apart, and the plurality of partitions are divided into a plurality of material dropping areas in the material box; the plurality of material dropping areas are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the material dropping opening.
[0017] Furthermore, the hopper is configured such that, during the process of the conveying mechanism outputting materials outward through the discharge port, materials in a plurality of dropping zones sequentially fall into the conveying mechanism in the direction toward the discharge port.
[0018] Furthermore, the conveying component is an auger that extends along the length of the conveying housing and is rotatably disposed within the conveying housing; the conveying mechanism also includes a drive motor configured to drive the auger to rotate.
[0019] Furthermore, it also includes a support frame; the material box is mounted on the support frame.
[0020] Furthermore, it also includes a weighing component; the weighing component is configured to weigh the material in the hopper.
[0021] Furthermore, the weighing component is located at the bottom of the support frame.
[0022] Furthermore, the weighing component is disposed between the hopper and the support frame. Attached Figure Description

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0034] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this application provides a material storage device, including:
[0035] The material bin 1 includes two end plates 11 and two side plates 12. The end plates 11 are arranged vertically, and an extension 111 is provided at the lower part of the end plate 11. The width of the extension 111 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The lower part of the side plate 12 is provided with a bent portion 121, which bends towards the inside of the material bin 1. The two side plates 12 are arranged opposite to each other and connected between the two end plates 11. The end of the bent portion 121 is connected to the corresponding side of the extension 111. The lower edge of the bent portion 121 and the lower edge of the extension 111 form a material outlet 101.
[0036] The conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveying housing 21 and a conveying component 22. The top of the conveying housing is provided with a connection port (unmarked), and one end of the conveying housing is also provided with a discharge port 211. The conveying component 22 is movably disposed in the conveying housing 21 and is configured to drive the material in the conveying housing 21 to be conveyed toward the discharge port 211.
[0037] The connection port extends along the length of the discharge port and is connected to the discharge port 101.
[0038] Specifically, the end of the bent portion 121 is connected to the corresponding side of the extension portion 111 to form a material dropping area 10 with a tapered longitudinal section. The material dropping area 10 has a tapered structure along the longitudinal section perpendicular to the material conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2, so that the material in the material dropping area 10 can move towards the bottom material dropping port 101. The material dropping area 10 extends along the material conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2.
[0039] At the same time, the discharge port 101 formed at the bottom of the discharge area 10 is also in the form of a strip, and the discharge port 101 will be arranged to extend along the material conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2.
[0040] In actual use, after the material is put into the hopper 1, the material accumulates above the discharge port 101. Furthermore, after the conveying mechanism 2 is started, as the conveying component 22 continuously pushes the material at the bottom upwards, the material in the hopper 1 will be gradually pushed out from the position away from the discharge port 211.
[0041] Specifically, during the process of the conveying component 22 pushing the material forward, the material located in the conveying housing 21 moves from the rear towards the discharge port 211. As the material in the conveying housing 21 moves, it fills the conveying housing 21, thus blocking material near the discharge port 211 from entering the conveying housing 21. As the discharge time increases, the material in the hopper 1 gradually decreases from the rear towards the discharge port 211.
[0042] This discharge method avoids the formation of a funnel-shaped structure in the middle of the material in the material bin 1, which would cause the material on all four sides to move towards the middle. This would result in greater friction between the material and the bin wall after the material has been reduced to a certain level, leading to material residue.
[0043] Furthermore, for the material bin 1 with the above structure, the material bin 1 is configured such that, during the process of the conveying mechanism 2 outputting materials outward through the discharge port 211, the materials in the material bin 1 that are far from the discharge port 211 fall into the conveying mechanism 2 first.
[0044] Specifically, in the material bin 1 structure of this application, since the material is gradually output from the end plate 11 away from the discharge port 211 to the end plate 11 closer to the discharge port 211, the material gradually collapses in the material bin 1 during the material falling process. Furthermore, since the end plate 11 is arranged vertically, the friction between the material and the end plate 11 due to gravity is small. In this way, the resistance generated by the end plates 11 at both ends during the material falling process is light, so the material in the material bin 1 can be output fully and effectively.
[0045] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this application are as follows: By setting a side plate 12 between two vertically arranged end plates 11, a bent portion 121 is formed at the bottom of the side plate 12. Correspondingly, an extension portion 111 is provided at the bottom of the end plate 11. The extension portion 111 and the bent portion 121 are configured to form a material dropping area 10 with a conical longitudinal section. The material dropping area 10 extends laterally along the length direction, and the formed material dropping opening 101 extends along the length direction to form a strip-shaped opening. During use, the material in the hopper 1 accumulates in the material dropping area 10 under the action of gravity. After the conveying mechanism 2 is started, the conveying... Component 22 will drive the material at the bottom to be output outward. The material will gradually sink from a position away from the discharge port 211 into the conveying shell 21 and be pushed out by the conveying component 22. In this way, the material in the hopper 1 will gradually sink and be output from the back to the front in the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2, thereby avoiding the formation of a depression in the middle of the hopper 1, which would prevent the material around it from being completely and effectively discharged. At the same time, since the end plate 11 is arranged vertically, the friction between the material and the end plate 11 is small, which is more conducive to the material falling under the action of gravity, thereby reducing the residual feed inside the storage device and improving its reliability.
[0046] Furthermore, the material bin 1 also includes at least one partition 14, which is vertically arranged in the material bin 1 and is connected between the two bent portions 121.
[0047] Specifically, by adding a partition 14 to the material bin 1, the partition 14 can separate the materials in the material bin 1. In this way, during the process of conveying the materials outward through the conveying mechanism 2, the partition 14 can separate the materials. Furthermore, the partition 14 can prevent the materials near the discharge port 211 in the conveying direction from collapsing prematurely, thereby avoiding the formation of an excessively steep slope and making it more conducive to the thorough and effective output of materials, thus reducing material residue.
[0048] In this configuration, the material bin 1 is arranged such that, during the process of the conveying mechanism 2 outputting material outward through the discharge port 211, the material in the material bin 1 located on the side of the partition 14 away from the discharge port 211 falls into the conveying mechanism 2 first.
[0049] Specifically, due to the addition of a partition 14 in the material bin 1, during the process of conveying materials outward by the conveying mechanism 2, the material on the side of the partition 14 away from the discharge port 211 will fall down and be conveyed into the conveying mechanism 2 first, so as to realize the segmented outward conveying of materials from the material bin 1.
[0050] Furthermore, a gap is formed between the lower edge of the partition 14 and the discharge port 101.
[0051] Specifically, the lower edge of the partition 14 is spaced from the discharge port 101. In this way, during the process of outputting materials through the conveying mechanism 2, the resistance to material conveying caused by the obstruction of the partition 14 can be reduced, thereby improving the smoothness of material conveying.
[0052] Among them, multiple partitions 14 can be provided between the two bending portions 121, and the two adjacent partitions 14 are arranged at intervals. The multiple partitions are divided into multiple material dropping areas 10 in the material box; the multiple material dropping areas 10 are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the material dropping port 101.
[0053] Specifically, multiple partitions 14 are provided in the material bin 1 to divide it into multiple material drop zones 10. In this case, the material bin 1 is configured such that, during the process of the conveying mechanism 2 outputting material outward through the discharge port 211, the material in the multiple material drop zones 10 sequentially falls into the conveying mechanism 2 in the direction toward the discharge port 211.
[0054] Specifically, multiple baffles 14 make each material drop zone 10 shorter, and under the action of the baffles 14, the material forms a steeper slope, so that the material in each material drop zone 10 can fall smoothly into the conveying mechanism 2, thereby reducing the material from adhering to the bending part 121.
[0055] Based on the above technical solution, optionally, the physical entity of the conveying mechanism 2 can be an existing conventional material conveying equipment.
[0056] For example: Figure 1 As shown, the conveying component 22 is an auger that extends along the length of the conveying housing 21 and is rotatably disposed in the conveying housing 21; the conveying mechanism 2 also includes a drive motor 23, which is configured to drive the auger to rotate.
[0057] Specifically, the conveying mechanism 2 adopts the structure of an auger conveyor to realize the material conveying.
[0058] Based on the above technical solution, optionally, the storage device also includes a support frame 3; the material box 1 is disposed on the support frame 3.
[0059] Specifically, the material box 1 can be suspended in the air by the support frame 3, so as to facilitate the installation of the conveying mechanism 2 at the bottom of the material box 1.
[0060] Furthermore, the storage device also includes a weighing component (not shown); the weighing component is configured to weigh the material in the hopper 1.
[0061] Specifically, the weighing component can indirectly weigh the material in the hopper 1. The weighing component is located at the bottom of the support frame 3, or the weighing component can be located between the hopper 1 and the support frame 3.
[0062] The specific weighing method for the weighing components can refer to conventional material weighing methods, and will not be limited or elaborated here.
