Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, specifically, it relates to a metering porridge cart. Background Technology

[0002] A porridge feed cart is a mobile feeding device used for transporting and distributing porridge-like feed. It is mainly used in animal husbandry, such as pig farms, chicken farms, and other livestock and poultry breeding sites. In pig farms, it is often used to feed pigs processed into a porridge-like form of feed. This form of feed is easier for pigs to digest and absorb, especially for piglets or lactating sows, providing a more suitable way to obtain nutrition.

[0003] The existing porridge truck structure includes a cylindrical storage tank, a mobile vehicle, and an electric pump. To prevent the porridge from settling or separating during transportation and to maintain the uniformity of the feed, the storage tank is equipped with a stirrer. The mobile vehicle pushes the storage tank to the feeding point, and the electric pump pumps the feed out of the storage tank, replacing the manual handling and dumping of feed, thus reducing the labor intensity of breeding.

[0004] However, the aforementioned feed trucks have some shortcomings: modern farming requires nutritional management, necessitating timed and quantitative feed distribution. Most feed trucks lack weighing capabilities, and the amount dispensed each time is based on personal experience, making it impossible to control the quantitative standards. Additionally, while a few feed trucks do have weighing functions, the output pipe of the storage tank and the electric pump remain connected during the weighing process, significantly impacting the weighing results and leading to higher weighing errors. This also results in inaccurate feed dispensing. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a porridge metering cart, comprising a mobile cart, a storage tank, and an electric pump assembly. A weighing platform is located at the rear of the mobile cart, and the storage tank is placed on the weighing platform. The electric pump assembly is installed at the front of the mobile cart, with its inlet pipe directly opposite the outlet pipe of the storage tank. A docking assembly is located in the middle of the mobile cart, comprising a telescopic motor and a central tube. The central tube is connected to the telescopic shaft of the telescopic motor, and its two ends are directly opposite the inlet and outlet pipes, respectively. One end of the central tube is connected to the inlet pipe via an elastic telescopic tube, and the other end of the central tube is a conical joint with a maximum outer diameter not less than the inner diameter of the outlet pipe. The housing of the telescopic motor is fixedly connected to the mobile cart, and the telescopic shaft drives the central tube to insert into the outlet pipe, thereby connecting the central tube and the outlet pipe.

[0006] The preferred embodiment of the porridge metering cart in this utility model is as follows: a sleeve is provided on the outside of the intermediate tube, and the end of the telescopic shaft is fixedly connected to the sleeve through a longitudinal connecting plate, with the telescopic shaft parallel to the intermediate tube. The sleeve and the longitudinal connecting plate are integral, forming an intermediate connecting component connecting the telescopic shaft and the intermediate tube, thus meeting the installation requirements.

[0007] The preferred embodiment of the feed metering cart in this invention is as follows: the cart has two rear drive wheels and one swivel wheel underneath, and an upward-extending handrail at the front. The cart has a three-wheeled structure, allowing for flexible steering, making it particularly suitable for the narrow roads of livestock farms. Furthermore, the front of the handrail has a foldable seat cushion that can be folded down to a horizontal position, allowing people to sit and reducing standing time and labor intensity.

[0008] The preferred embodiment of the porridge measuring cart in this invention is as follows: the weighing platform is provided with four limiting side plates, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the storage bin. The storage bin is confined between the four limiting side plates, preventing the storage bin from sliding laterally on the weighing platform and preventing it from tipping over.

[0009] The preferred embodiment of the porridge dispensing cart in this utility model is as follows: the mobile cart is equipped with a control box featuring a display and a control panel. The output end of the control box is electrically connected to the electric pump assembly and the telescopic motor, respectively, and the inlet and outlet ends of the control box are electrically connected to the weighing platform. The control panel is equipped with a dispensing button, a stop button, a dispensing volume adjustment button, a start / stop button, etc., allowing the dispensing volume to be modified as needed. The dispensing automatically stops after the set volume is added, ensuring accurate dispensing.

[0010] The preferred embodiment of the porridge measuring cart in this utility model is as follows: a stirring motor is provided on the top of the storage tank, and the output shaft of the stirring motor extends out of the storage tank and is coaxially fixed with the stirrer inside the storage tank.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model's metering porridge cart are as follows:

[0012] 1. Compared with existing feed carts, a weighing platform has been added. The weighing platform weighs the storage tank and accurately captures the amount after reduction, so as to achieve accurate feed delivery without relying on human experience, which is more in line with nutrition management.

[0013] 2. To ensure accurate weighing, the intermediate pipe and the discharge pipe are disconnected before and after weighing, making the storage tank independent and not connected to the feed pipe. This allows for accurate weighing of the storage tank before and after weighing, further enhancing nutrient management. Attached Figure Description

[0018] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the inventor of this utility model has, through long-term research and extensive practice, proposed the technical solution of this utility model. The following will further explain and illustrate the technical solution, its implementation process, and its principles in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation examples.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, Embodiment 1 provides a porridge feeding cart, including a mobile cart 1, a storage tank 2, and an electric pump assembly 3. A stirring motor 4 is located at the top of the storage tank 2, and the output shaft of the stirring motor 4 extends into the storage tank 2 and is coaxially fixed to the stirrer inside the storage tank 2. The mobile cart 1 has two rear drive wheels 6 and one swivel wheel 5 at its base, and an upward-extending handrail 23 at its front. The mobile cart 1 has a three-wheeled structure, allowing for flexible steering, making it particularly suitable for the narrow roads of livestock farms. To reduce labor intensity and minimize standing time, a foldable seat cushion 7 is provided at the front of the handrail 23. A hinge rod 8 is located below the seat cushion 7, and the hinge rod 8 is fixed to the front side of the longitudinal rod of the handrail 23 via a hinge shaft. When not in use, the seat cushion 7 can be folded upwards to a vertical storage state.

[0020] To accurately control the amount dispensed each time, a weighing platform 9 is provided at the rear of the mobile vehicle 1, and the storage bin 2 is placed on the weighing platform 9. To prevent the storage bin 2 from sliding laterally on the weighing platform 9 and to prevent it from tipping over, four limiting side plates 10 are provided on the weighing platform 9. The four limiting side plates 10 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the storage bin 2, confining the storage bin 2 between the four limiting side plates 10. In this embodiment, the electric pump assembly 3 is installed at the front of the mobile vehicle 1, and the feed pipe 11 of the electric pump assembly 3 is directly opposite the discharge pipe 12 of the storage bin 2. In order to achieve the connection and disconnection between the feed pipe 11 and the discharge pipe 12, this embodiment is provided with a docking component in the middle of the mobile vehicle 1. Before feeding, the feed pipe 11 and the discharge pipe 12 are connected by the docking component. After feeding, the feed pipe 11 and the discharge pipe 12 are separated by the docking component. The storage tank 2 is independent during the weighing process, and the weight of the storage tank 2 before and after weighing can be accurately measured. This achieves accurate feeding without relying on human experience, which is more in line with nutrition management.

[0021] The specific structure of the docking component is as follows:

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the docking assembly includes a telescopic motor 13 and an intermediate tube 14. The intermediate tube 14 is connected to the telescopic shaft of the telescopic motor 13, and its two ends are respectively aligned with the feed pipe 11 and the discharge pipe 12. One end of the intermediate tube 14 is connected to the feed pipe 11 via an elastic telescopic tube 15, and the other end of the intermediate tube 14 is a conical joint 16, the maximum outer diameter of which is not less than the inner diameter of the discharge pipe 12. The housing of the telescopic motor 13 is fixedly connected to the moving vehicle 1. To meet installation requirements, a sleeve 17 is provided on the outside of the intermediate tube 14. The end of the telescopic shaft 18 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 17 via a longitudinal connecting plate 19, and the telescopic shaft 18 is parallel to the intermediate tube 14. The sleeve 17 and the longitudinal connecting plate 19 are integral, forming an intermediate connecting piece between the telescopic shaft 18 and the intermediate tube 14. When docking is required, the telescopic shaft can drive the intermediate tube 14 to be inserted into the discharge pipe 12, thereby connecting the intermediate tube 14 and the discharge pipe 12. During the movement of the intermediate tube 14, the elastic telescopic tube 15 extends and retracts accordingly to maintain communication with the feed tube 11.

[0023] For ease of operation, the mobile vehicle 1 is equipped with a control box 22 featuring a display 20 and a control panel 21. The output terminals of the control box 22 are electrically connected to the electric pump assembly 3 and the telescopic motor 13, respectively, while the inlet and outlet terminals of the control box 22 are electrically connected to the weighing platform 9. The control panel 21 includes buttons for adding feed, one-button adding, stopping, connecting, weighing, separating, adjusting feed volume, and starting / stopping. The feed volume can be modified as needed, and the system automatically stops after adding the set amount, ensuring accurate feed dispensing. The specific feed dispensing method is as follows:

[0024] S1: Set the single feeding amount, for example, 3kg. On the control panel 21, the feeding amount is set to 3kg by adjusting the feeding amount button. The control box 22 calculates the pumping time required by the electric pump assembly 3 to pump out 3kg of feed according to the power of the electric pump assembly 3. This time is t.

[0025] S2. Press the weighing button, and the weighing platform 9 weighs the storage bucket 2 before delivery and sends it to the control box 22. The control box 22 displays the data M1 on the display 20.

[0026] S3. Then press the connection button. The control box 22 causes the telescopic shaft 18 of the telescopic motor 13 to extend. The telescopic shaft drives the conical connector 16 of the intermediate tube 14 to insert into the discharge tube 12, and the intermediate tube 14 is connected to the discharge tube 12. Press the filling button. The control box 22 causes the electric pump assembly 3 to pump material for a time t and then stop working. Then press the separation button. The telescopic shaft drives the intermediate tube 14 to pull the conical connector 16 out of the discharge tube 12, and the intermediate tube 14 is separated from the discharge tube 12.

[0027] S4. Press the weighing button, and the weighing platform 9 weighs the storage bucket 2 after it has been put in and sends the weight to the control box 22. The control box 22 displays the data M2 on the display 20.

[0028] S5. If the error between M1-M2 and 3kg does not exceed 3%, then the time t calculated by the control box 22 in S1 is appropriate. If the error is greater than 3%, the control box 22 will increase or decrease the pumping time of the electric pump assembly 3 to t1 accordingly so that the error does not exceed 3%, and repeat steps S2, S3, and S4 for verification.

[0029] S6, the conical joint 16 of the intermediate pipe 14 is kept in communication with the discharge pipe 12. The storage tank 2 is moved to the delivery point by the moving vehicle 1, and then the discharge pipe 24 of the electric pump assembly 3 is placed at the delivery point. Finally, the one-key filling button is pressed, and the control box 22 makes the electric pump assembly 3 work for t or t1 time and then the electric pump assembly 3 stops.

[0030] S7. Following step S6, complete the delivery to all delivery points in sequence. Delivery complete.

[0031] As can be seen from the above method, it makes up for the lack of metering function in the existing porridge cart. The weighing platform 9 can weigh the storage tank 2 accurately, realize the accurate feeding, do not rely on human experience, and are more in line with nutrition management.
