Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a mixing device, and more particularly to a feed additive mixing device. Background Technology

[0002] Feed is a general term for the food given to animals, encompassing various raw materials including soybeans, straw, and corn. Modern animal husbandry relies heavily on feed, but feed alone cannot meet the nutritional needs of animals for growth, such as vitamins and minerals. Therefore, feed additives are typically added to feed to improve feed quality, enhance animal production performance, and ensure animal health.

[0003] Currently, in the mixing of feed and additives, a large amount of additives is usually poured directly into the container containing the feed. Because it is impossible to control the uniform addition of additives, a large amount of additives are poured into the feed at once, causing the additives to accumulate in the feed. In this case, if the feed and additives are to be fully mixed, a long stirring operation is required, which is quite troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feed additive mixing device that can first break up the feed and then screen it, and can improve the mixing efficiency of feed and additives.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a feed additive mixing device, comprising a base, a mixing chamber and a premixing chamber on the base, a through hole on the base, a rotating rod passing through the through hole, and the rotating rod passing through both the mixing chamber and the premixing chamber, a feeding pipe connecting the premixing chamber and the mixing chamber, and an additive assembly that is in a movable state, wherein the additive assembly, when moving, dispenses the additive into the feed for mixing.

[0006] Furthermore, the additive assembly is located between the premixing bin and the mixing bin, and the additive assembly delivers the additive along the circumferential direction of the mixing bin.

[0007] Furthermore, the additive assembly includes a feeding hopper and a connecting rod. The feeding hopper is fixed to one end of the connecting rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is fixed to a rotating rod. The feeding hopper can move in a circular motion around the rotating rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the feeding hopper is connected to a slide rail, which is set on the inner wall of the mixing chamber. The slide rail extends along the circumference of the mixing chamber and forms a circular closed state.

[0009] Furthermore, a dirt-proof plate is provided above the additive assembly, with an opening on the dirt-proof plate. The rotating rod passes through the dirt-proof plate, and the upper end of the feeding hopper extends into the opening of the dirt-proof plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the additive component is located at the top of the premix silo, and the additive is dispensed when the additive component makes a linear reciprocating motion.

[0011] Furthermore, the additive assembly includes a feeding vehicle and a power telescopic rod. The upper part of the premix silo is provided with a channel, and the power telescopic rod controls the movement of the feeding vehicle within the channel.

[0012] Furthermore, an electromagnet is installed on the feeding pipe. The electromagnet is wound around the outer wall of the feeding pipe. When the electromagnet is energized, it has a magnetic attraction force to attract iron filings in the feed.

[0013] Furthermore, a scraping component is installed inside the mixing chamber. The scraping component is connected to a rotating rod, which drives the scraping component to make a circular motion. The scraping component scrapes off the feed and additives adhering to the inner wall of the mixing chamber.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: First, the feed is broken up by the premixing bin to prevent some of the feed from sticking together in the mixing bin and affecting the uniformity of the subsequent mixing with the additives. At the same time, the additive component evenly puts the additives into the premixing bin and mixes them with the feed initially. Then, the feed and additives enter the mixing bin through the feeding pipe. An electromagnet is installed on the feeding pipe to screen out impurities such as iron filings in the feed and additives passing through the feeding pipe. After screening, the feed and additives are mixed a second time in the mixing bin. Through the two mixing operations, the uniformity of the feed and additives is improved.

In the embodiments, the components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present application.

[0023] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a feed additive mixing device includes a base 1, a premixing bin 2, and a mixing bin 3. The base 1 is placed on the ground, and the mixing chamber 3 is installed on the upper surface of the base 1. The bottom end of the mixing chamber 3 is vertically connected to the upper surface of the base 1. The mixing chamber 3 is cylindrical and has a storage space inside. That is, the top of the mixing chamber 3 has an opening. Feed and additives can be put into the internal storage space of the mixing chamber 3 through the top opening. The storage space of the mixing chamber 3 is equipped with a rotating rod 4. The rotating rod 4 mixes the feed and additives by rotating. The premixing chamber 2 is located above the mixing chamber 3. The premixing chamber 2 is connected to the mixing chamber 3 through a support arm 5. The premixing chamber 2 and the mixing chamber 3 are coaxially arranged, and there is a certain gap between the bottom end of the premixing chamber 2 and the top end of the mixing chamber 3. The premixing chamber 2 is funnel-shaped, with the upper opening larger than the bottom opening. The upper end of the premixing chamber 2 is in an open state, and the lower end is connected to a bottom plate with a through hole. The rotating rod 4 passes through this through hole. A feeding pipe 6 is connected between the premixing chamber 2 and the mixing chamber 3. Feed can enter the mixing chamber 3 from the premixing chamber 2 through the feeding pipe 6.

[0024] An additive assembly 7 is provided in the interval between the premixing bin 2 and the mixing bin 3. The additive assembly 7 adds additives to the mixing bin 3. The feed is fed from the premixing bin 2 into the mixing bin 3 through the feeding pipe 6. At the same time, the additives are added from the additive assembly 7 into the mixing bin 3. The feed and additives are mixed in the storage space of the mixing bin 3.

[0025] When mixing feed and additives, some feed may stick together during storage. If the sticky feed is not broken up first, it may not mix evenly with the additives later. To break up the feed first, a breaking up component 8 is provided in the premixing bin 2. The breaking up component 8 includes rotating blades that are connected to a rotating rod 4. The rotating blades are arranged in a circular array around the central axis of the rotating rod 4 to form a rotating blade group. Several rotating blade groups are arranged at equal intervals along the axial direction of the rotating rod 4. When feed is put into the premixing bin 2 through the top opening, the rotation of the rotating rod 4 drives the rotating blades to break up the feed in the premixing bin 2. To facilitate the rotation of the rotating rod 4, a rolling bearing adapted to the rotating rod 4 is provided in the through hole.

[0026] In order to transfer the dispersed feed in the premixing bin 2 to the mixing bin 3, a channel is provided at the bottom of the side wall of the premixing bin 2. A feeding pipe 6 adapted to the channel is connected to the outside of the channel. The feeding pipe 6 is a circular pipe. The top end of the feeding pipe 6 is connected to the channel, and the bottom end is connected to the mixing bin 3. During the dispersing operation, the feed in the premixing bin 2 is discharged through the channel into the feeding pipe 6 by the centrifugal force generated when the rotating blade is driven by the rotating rod 4. The feed is then transferred into the mixing bin 3 through the feeding pipe 6.

[0027] Poor storage conditions or contamination during transportation may result in the presence of impurities such as stones or iron filings in the feed. Animals consuming feed containing these impurities may experience adverse reactions. To improve feed screening, this application includes an electromagnet 9 on the feeding pipe 6 (a stainless steel pipe). The electromagnet 10 is wound around the outer wall of the feeding pipe 6. When powered, the electromagnet exhibits magnetic attraction. As the dispersed feed is fed from the feeding pipe 6 into the mixing chamber 3, the electromagnet attracts iron filings, magnetite, hematite, and other contaminants mixed in with the feed to the inner wall of the feeding pipe 6. When the operation is complete, the electromagnet is de-energized, losing its magnetic attraction. The impurities adsorbed on the inner wall of the feeding pipe 6 then fall off. These fallen impurities are then cleaned for subsequent operations.

[0028] A feed inlet is located at the top of the side wall of the mixing chamber 3, and is connected to the bottom end of the feeding pipe 6. Feed is fed into the mixing chamber 3 through the feed inlet. The bottom of the mixing chamber 3 is connected to the base 1. The mixing chamber 3 is coaxial with the premixing chamber 2. The bottom of the mixing chamber 3 is closed, and a through hole is provided on the central axis of the bottom of the mixing chamber 3. The lower end of the rotating rod 4 passes through this through hole. The rotating rod 4 is a straight rod, and a drive motor 12 is connected to the bottom end of the rotating rod 4. Several sets of stirring arms 11 are provided on the rotating rod 4. The stirring arms 11 are arranged in a circular array around the central axis of the rotating rod 4 and are located in the storage space of the mixing chamber 3. Each set of stirring arms 11 consists of several blades, which are arranged at equal intervals along the axial direction of the rotating rod 4. The topmost stirring arm 11 is lower than the feed inlet. After the drive motor 12 is powered on, it drives the rotating rod 4 to start working. When the rotating rod 4 rotates in the mixing chamber 3, it drives the stirring arms 11 to mix and stir the feed and additives in the mixing chamber 3.

[0029] To ensure the additive is added more evenly into the mixing chamber 3, the additive assembly 7 above the mixing chamber 3 continuously sprinkles the additive. Specifically, the additive assembly 7 includes a connecting rod 13 and a feeding hopper 14. One end of the connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 4 and is perpendicular to the rotating rod 4. The connecting rod 13 is positioned above the highest stirring arm 11 and has a certain interval. The other end of the connecting rod 13 is connected to the feeding hopper 14. The connecting rod 13 is connected to the side wall of the feeding hopper 14. The feeding hopper 14 is an inverted trapezoidal funnel shape, that is, the upper opening is larger than the bottom opening. A pulley 15 is provided on the side wall of the feeding hopper 14. The pulley 15 is located on the extension line of the connecting rod 13. A slide rail 16 adapted to the pulley 15 is provided on the inner wall of the mixing chamber 3. The slide rail 16 is arranged along the circumference of the mixing chamber 3. The slide rail 16 is generally in a circular closed state, that is, the pulley 15 can move in a circle along the slide rail 16. Additives are added into the feeding hopper 14. The rotation of the rotating rod drives the feeding hopper 14 to move in a circular motion on the slide rail 16. During the rotation, the feeding hopper 14 evenly adds additives into the mixing chamber 3.

[0030] In addition, in order to save energy and achieve power linkage, the rotating rod 4 vertically penetrates both the mixing bin 3 and the premixing bin 2.

[0031] In order to prevent dust and other impurities from entering the mixing chamber 3 during the feeding and mixing process, and to prevent feed and additives from splashing out of the mixing chamber 3 during mixing, this application provides a dirt-proof plate 17 above the additive assembly 7. The dirt-proof plate 17 is a circular plate with a through hole in the center. The size of the through hole is adapted to the rotating rod 4, that is, the rotating rod 4 can pass through the through hole on the dirt-proof plate 17. The size of the dirt-proof plate 17 is consistent with the top opening of the mixing chamber 3, and the dirt-proof plate 17 has an opening. The center line of the opening is consistent with the center line of the feeding hopper 14. The opening of the dirt-proof plate 17 matches the upper outer wall of the feeding hopper 14 and is fixedly connected. That is, the opening of the dirt-proof plate 17 can cover the upper part of the feeding hopper 14. When feed and additives are fed into the mixing chamber 3 for mixing, the dirt-proof plate 17 can prevent external dust and impurities from falling into the mixing chamber, and at the same time, it can also prevent feed and additives from splashing out during the mixing process.

[0032] To address the issue of feed and additives adhering to the inner wall of the mixing chamber 3 during mixing, this application includes a scraping assembly 18 within the mixing chamber. The scraping assembly 18 comprises two horizontal strips and one vertical strip. The vertical strip is positioned vertically between the two horizontal strips. The mixing arm 11 within the mixing chamber 3 is located between the two horizontal strips. One end of each horizontal strip is vertically connected to the rotating rod 4, while the other end extends laterally to the inner wall of the storage space within the mixing chamber 3. The other horizontal strip is positioned below the mixing arm 11 and contacts the bottom surface of the mixing chamber 3. The vertical strip is connected to the extended ends of the two horizontal strips and contacts the vertical inner wall of the mixing chamber 3. The two horizontal strips and the vertical strip together form the scraping assembly 18. When the rotating rod 4 rotates, it drives the scraping assembly 18 to rotate within the mixing chamber 3, scraping away the feed and additives adhering to the inner wall of the mixing chamber 3.

[0033] To achieve a more uniform mixing of feed and additives, this application provides a second embodiment, see below. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the position of the additive component 7 is adjusted. A dispersing component 8 is provided at the lower part of the premixing bin 2, and an additive component 7 is provided at the upper part of the premixing bin 2. The additive component 7 includes a feeding vehicle 19 and a power telescopic rod 20. Two opposing arched openings are provided at the upper part of the premixing bin 2, forming a channel between the two openings. An arched connecting plate 23 is provided in the channel. The connecting plate 23 is connected from one end opening to the other end opening, and the connecting plate 23 is located at the upper part of the arched opening. At the same time, the connecting plate 23 is connected to the upper outer wall of the premixing bin 2 at the arched opening. At this time, the connecting plate 23 plays the role of shielding and supporting the channel, that is, the channel is in a state of being closed at the top and open at the bottom.

[0034] To more evenly distribute the additives into the premixing bin 2, a track 21 is installed in the arched channel. The track 21 passes through the arched channel and its two ends are connected to the side walls of the premixing bin 2. Rollers 22 adapted to the track 21 are installed at the bottom of the feeding cart 19, allowing the feeding cart 19 to move on the track 21. A power telescopic rod 20 is connected to the track 21 or the premixing bin 2, with its movable end connected to the feeding cart 19. When the additives are added to the feeding cart 19, the telescopic rod 20's extension and retraction movement drives the feeding cart 19 to reciprocate linearly on the track 21, evenly distributing the additives into the premixing bin 2. Simultaneously, feed is added from the spaces on both sides of the arched channel into the premixing bin 2, performing a preliminary mixing operation on the feed and additives. Then, the feed is fed into the mixing bin 3 via the feeding pipe 6 for a second mixing, thus completing a more uniform mixing operation.
