Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed processing technology, and in particular to a feed storage bin discharge device that prevents clogging. Background Technology

[0002] In livestock farming, feed storage and feeding are crucial to livestock health and productivity. Traditional feed storage silos often face blockage problems during the discharge process, especially with wet forage or mixed feed containing medicated powder. Due to their high viscosity and poor flowability, these feeds tend to form bridging or clumps at the discharge port, hindering feed flow and affecting feeding efficiency. This problem is particularly prominent in cattle farming because wet forage (such as silage) has a high moisture content, and long, thin pieces of feed tend to clump together. Farmers often need to add deworming powder or other medications to the feed. However, because the feed clumps together, the powder is difficult to distribute evenly, resulting in uneven mixing. Some cattle may not ingest enough medication, affecting the deworming effect, while others may ingest too much, causing drug side effects or even poisoning. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing feed storage bin discharge devices, such as easy clogging, uneven mixing of medicine powder, and unreasonable structural design, which lead to low feeding efficiency and difficulty in ensuring the safety of medication, this utility model provides a clogging-proof feed storage bin discharge device.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] Example 1: A feed storage bin discharge device to prevent clogging, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the device includes a housing 1, a support plate 2, an electric conveyor belt 3, a guide plate 4, and a discharge hopper 5. The upper part of the housing 1 has an inlet 1001 and a powder hopper 1002. The support plate 2 is rotatably connected inside the powder hopper 1002 and can be driven to rotate by an electric motor. The electric conveyor belt 3 is installed inside the housing 1, located directly below the inlet 1001, and is inclined downwards from left to right. An inclined guide plate 4 is fixed inside the housing 1, with its inclination direction consistent with that of the electric conveyor belt 3, and its left end aligned with the right end of the electric conveyor belt 3. A discharge hopper 5 is fixed to the lower side of the housing 1.

[0021] It also includes an electric push rod 6, a squeezing plate 7, spikes 8, and a liquid tracking assembly; electric push rods 6 are installed on the front and rear sides of the housing 1; a squeezing plate 7 is fixedly connected to the drive end of each electric push rod 6; the squeezing plate 7 is located on the upper side of the electric conveyor belt 3; several spikes 8 are fixedly connected to the opposing sides of the two squeezing plates 7; and a liquid tracking assembly is provided inside the housing 1.

[0022] The liquid tracking assembly includes a liquid holding frame 9, a liquid guiding pipe 10, and a liquid outlet pipe 11; the conveyor belt of the electric conveyor belt 3 has a porous structure; the liquid holding frame 9 is installed inside the housing 1, and the liquid holding frame 9 is located between the conveyor belts of the electric conveyor belt 3; the right end of the liquid holding frame 9 is connected to two liquid guiding pipes 10; the liquid outlet pipe 11 is installed inside the housing 1, and several liquid outlet holes are opened on the lower side of the liquid outlet pipe 11, and the liquid outlet pipe 11 is located above the guide plate 4; all the liquid guiding pipes 10 are connected to the liquid outlet pipe 11.

[0023] The tip of the barb 8 is provided with several barbs 8001; when the extrusion plate 7 drives the barb 8 to extrude and pierce the wet straw and then retracts, the barbs 8001 can effectively hook some of the wet straw and move with the barb 8, thereby separating and breaking up the interconnected wet straw. This not only solves the problem of uneven mixing caused by the clumping of wet straw, but also effectively prevents the occurrence of discharge blockage.

[0024] It also includes a feeding roller 12; the feeding roller 12 is rotatably connected inside the housing 1, and the feeding roller 12 can be driven to rotate by an electric motor; the feeding roller 12 is located above the guide plate 4.

[0025] It also includes a material distribution plate 13; the material distribution plate 13 is fixedly connected inside the housing 1. The material distribution plate 13 is an inverted V-shaped plate and is located below the left end of the material support plate 2.

[0026] The separating plate 13 is designed with a smooth surface; this effectively reduces the adhesion and residue of the powder during the dispersion process, ensures that the powder slides smoothly and mixes thoroughly with the separated wet forage, and facilitates cleaning and maintenance, avoiding cross-contamination caused by drug residue.

[0027] This device is installed inside a feed storage warehouse. The upper side of the feed inlet 1001 is connected to an external conveyor belt, which evenly transports wet forage to the feed inlet 1001. The upper side of the powder silo 1002 is connected to a powder conveying pipe, enabling a continuous supply of powder. When it is necessary to add powder to the cattle feed, this device is used to complete the mixing operation. Its workflow is as follows:

[0028] First, a collection frame is placed below the discharge hopper 5. After turning on the power, the electric conveyor belt 3 and the electric push rod 6 are started. Wet hay enters the device from the feed inlet 1001. At the same time, the powder is transported to the powder silo 1002 through the pipeline. In the initial state, the support plate 2 is kept in a horizontal position, and the lower outlet of the powder silo 1002 is closed, so that the powder temporarily accumulates above the support plate 2. The wet hay entering the device then falls into the electric conveyor belt 3 below. During the process of the conveyor belt being transported to the lower right, the electric push rod 6 continuously drives the extrusion plate 7 to reciprocate on the conveyor belt. The barbs 8 on the extrusion plate 7 pierce the surface of the wet hay and squeeze out the juice in the hay to fully moisten the wet hay.

[0029] As the humidified hay continues to be conveyed to the right to the guide plate 4, the electric motor controls the receiving plate 2 to rotate downwards by 10 degrees, opening the lower outlet of the powder hopper 1002, allowing the accumulated powder to slide onto the surface of the wet hay on the guide plate 4. Because the wet hay has been pre-humidified, the powder can better adhere to the surface of the hay, effectively avoiding the problem of uneven settling caused by the separation of powder and hay during subsequent transfer. The mixed hay slides out from the right end of the guide plate 4 and falls into the pre-placed collection box through the discharge hopper 5. Throughout the process, the conveying of wet hay and the feeding of powder are synchronized to ensure that all hay can be fully mixed with powder. Finally, the staff transports the collection box filled with mixed hay to the pasture for feeding operations.

[0030] During operation, due to the squeezing action of the extrusion plate 7 on the wet hay, the squeezed juice flows downward along the gaps between the wet hay on the electric conveyor belt 3. In this case, most of the juice tends to flow close to the surface of the electric conveyor belt 3, resulting in the lower layer of the wet hay pile absorbing too much juice, while the upper layer of hay is not adequately moistened, affecting the adhesion of the subsequent powder. To solve this problem, the electric conveyor belt 3 adopts a porous structure design, allowing the flowing juice to seep downward through the pores on the conveyor belt and be collected by the liquid collection frame 9 below. The collected juice is then introduced into the liquid outlet pipe 11 through the liquid guide pipe 10, and finally drips evenly from the liquid outlet hole on the lower side of the liquid outlet pipe 11 onto the surface of the wet hay on the guide plate 4. This design achieves supplemental moistening of the upper layer of hay, ensuring that the wet hay is fully moistened, thereby effectively improving the adhesion of the powder and ensuring the uniformity of the mixing between the powder and the wet hay.

[0031] Furthermore, considering that long strips of wet hay are prone to tangling and clumping together, which not only affects the uniform mixing of the powder but also causes discharge blockage, several barbs 8001 are provided at the tip of the barb 8 to solve this problem. When the extrusion plate 7 drives the barb 8 to complete the extrusion and piercing of the wet hay and then retracts, the barbs 8001 can effectively hook onto some of the wet hay and move with the barb 8. This action effectively separates and breaks up the originally tangled clumps of wet hay, which not only solves the problem of uneven mixing caused by the clumping of hay but also avoids the blockage that may occur during the discharge process, thus ensuring the smooth progress of the entire mixing process and the quality of the final mixing effect.

[0032] To further optimize the dispersion of wet hay, a pusher roller 12 driven by an electric motor is added above the guide plate 4. When the wet hay is conveyed to the guide plate 4, it will come into contact with the continuously rotating pusher roller 12. Under the pushing action of the roller, the wet hay is further dispersed and pushed to the right. This design not only effectively reduces the tendency of wet hay to clump, but also avoids the accumulation and blockage of materials on the guide plate 4, ensuring the continuity and stability of the mixing process. With the assistance of the pusher roller 12, the contact area between the wet hay and the powder is significantly increased, thereby improving the final mixing uniformity.

[0033] To optimize the mixing effect, a distribution plate 13 is added to the lower left of the receiving plate 2. This component adopts an inverted V-shaped design, which can evenly divide the powder flowing down from the receiving plate 2 into two streams. When the feeding roller 12 rotates, it can not only break up the wet hay, but also make it flip over on the guide plate 4. At this time, the powder distributed by the distribution plate 13 is sprinkled to the left and right sides of the feeding roller 12: part of the powder covers the initial surface of the wet hay, and the other part is evenly sprinkled on the other side after the hay is flipped. This double sprinkling method effectively increases the contact area between the powder and the wet hay, and significantly improves the mixing uniformity. Through the synergistic effect of the distribution plate 13 and the feeding roller 12, the uniform distribution of powder is ensured, and the accumulation of powder or uneven mixing in some areas is avoided.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
