Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed batching machine technology, and more specifically, to a feed batching machine with adjustable proportions. Background Technology
[0002] A feed mixing machine is a highly specialized piece of machinery designed to precisely mix various feed ingredients according to a pre-set nutritional formula. This equipment plays a crucial role in modern animal husbandry and aquaculture, ensuring animals receive a balanced diet that meets their specific nutritional needs. Through automated or semi-automated operation, feed mixing machines can precisely proportion various types and proportions of raw materials according to scientific calculations, producing high-quality finished feed after thorough mixing. Feed mixing machines are widely used in various livestock and poultry farming and aquaculture industries, helping farmers improve feed utilization, reduce feeding costs, and simultaneously enhance animal health and production performance.
[0003] While most feed mixing machines on the market are quite advanced, they are primarily designed for producing standardized pelleted feed or simple ingredient mixing. This is particularly inadequate for rabbit farming. Rabbits require not only pelleted feed but also a significant amount of long-fiber feed (such as hay) to maintain their digestive system and provide comprehensive and balanced nutrition. Specifically, rabbits are herbivores, and their digestive systems are particularly adapted to high-fiber diets. Long-fiber feed helps promote intestinal motility, preventing constipation and other digestive problems—functions that pelleted feed cannot fully replace. Existing feed mixing machines typically lack the ability to process long-fiber materials, especially the function of chopping long-fiber hay and uniformly mixing it with powdered feed. Therefore, feed mixing machines specifically designed for the needs of rabbit farming are not yet available on the market. Utility Model Content

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] This utility model provides an adjustable feed mixing machine to adapt to rabbit farming.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 The adjustable feed mixing machine provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0028] The storage unit includes at least one powdered feed hopper 111 and at least one long-fiber feed hopper 112. The powdered feed hopper 111 is used to store various powdered feed ingredients (such as corn flour, soybean meal, etc.) to provide basic materials for subsequent precise formulation. The long-fiber feed hopper 112 is used to store long-fiber feed (such as timothy hay) to meet the rabbit's need for high-fiber food.
[0029] The first distribution box 121 is connected to the powdered feed storage hopper 111 in a one-to-one correspondence. Each first distribution box 121 has multiple discharge ports at the bottom. Each discharge port is equipped with an independent blocking airbag 1211, which is responsible for distributing the powdered feed in the storage hopper to different discharge ports. By controlling the air pump to inflate or deflate the blocking airbag 1211, the corresponding discharge port can be opened or closed, so as to achieve precise proportioning of each type of powdered feed.
[0030] An air pump is connected to each occluded airbag 1211 via a separate inflation tube.
[0031] The second distribution box 131 is connected to the long fiber feed storage hopper 112 in a one-to-one correspondence. Each second distribution box 131 has a moving channel extending in the vertical direction. Multiple sets of guide rollers 1311 are arranged in the moving channel to help guide and stabilize the transmission path of the long fiber feed. A shearing blade 1312 is provided between the two sets of guide rollers 1311.
[0032] The mixing tank 140 connects to the outlets of all the feed boxes. Inside it is a mixing agitator 143, where powdered feed and chopped long-fiber feed converge and mix thoroughly.
[0033] The first drive unit drives the mixing wheel 143 to rotate. The first drive unit is a drive motor. The first drive unit ensures that various components are fully mixed in the mixing tank 140 to produce high-quality, nutritionally balanced finished feed.
[0034] The second drive unit drives the shearing blade 1312 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction. The second drive unit is a hydraulic cylinder, which cuts long fiber feed into small segments.
[0035] In this embodiment, the mixing tank 140 is provided with a water inlet pipe 141 on its side wall.
[0036] In this embodiment, each first feeding box 121 is provided with a vibrating plate 1212 on its inner wall to prevent powdered feed from clumping in the box and to ensure that the material falls smoothly. The vibrating plate 1212 is driven by a vibrating motor connected by electricity. When the vibrating motor is started, it generates periodic vibration force, which is transmitted to the vibrating plate 1212, causing the vibrating plate 1212 to generate high-frequency vibration. The vibrating plate 1212 is installed on the inner wall of the first feeding box 121, and its vibration is directly transmitted to the inner wall of the first feeding box 121, breaking the adhesion between the materials inside the first feeding box 121, and causing the originally clumped powdered feed to loosen.
[0037] In this embodiment, a gravity sensor 142 is provided at the bottom of the mixing tank 140 to monitor the weight change of the feed in real time during the mixing process, so as to ensure that the amount of feed produced each time meets the set requirements.
[0038] In this embodiment, the guide rollers of the guide roller assembly 1311 are covered with a rubber layer to reduce damage to the feed and lower noise.
[0039] The following is a detailed description of the usage process of the adjustable feed mixing machine according to Embodiment 1 of this utility model:
[0040] The required powdered feed and long-fiber feed are respectively loaded into the powdered feed storage hopper 111 and the long-fiber feed storage hopper 112. The powdered feed enters the corresponding first distribution box 121 from the storage hopper. Each first distribution box 121 has multiple discharge ports at the bottom, and each discharge port is equipped with an independent blocking airbag 1211. By controlling the air pump to inflate or deflate the blocking airbag 1211, the opening and closing time and frequency of each discharge port can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving precise proportioning of each type of powdered feed. The vibration plate 1212 is activated to help the material fall smoothly. The long fiber feed enters the corresponding second distribution box 131 from the storage hopper. Each second distribution box 131 has a vertically extending moving channel. Multiple sets of spaced guide rollers 1311 are arranged in this channel. A shearing blade 1312 is provided between every two sets of guide rollers 1311. The second drive unit drives the shearing blade 1312 to move back and forth in the horizontal direction, cutting the long fiber feed passing between the guide rollers 1311 into small segments. The guide rollers are coated with a rubber layer, which effectively protects the feed from damage, reduces noise, and improves equipment durability. The outlets of all feed boxes are connected to the mixing tank 140, where powdered feed and chopped long-fiber feed converge. The mixing tank 140 is equipped with a mixing agitator 143, which is driven by the first drive unit to rotate, ensuring that the various components are fully mixed. As needed, an appropriate amount of water can be added through the water inlet pipe 141 on the side wall of the mixing tank 140. A gravity sensor 142 is installed at the bottom of the mixing tank 140 to monitor the weight change of the feed in real time during the mixing process. This helps to ensure that the amount of feed produced each time meets the set requirements and to promptly detect and correct any possible deviations, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of production. When the predetermined mixing time and weight are reached, the system stops operating, and the finished feed can be directly taken out from the mixing tank 140.
