Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of livestock breeding equipment, specifically relating to a feed additive mixing equipment for an assembly line. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, feed mixers are key equipment in livestock farming, used for various feed additives and medications, and are widely applied in farms and feed processing plants. Existing feed mixers use a motor-driven paddle-type mixing structure to add the required liquid feed and mix the materials.
[0003] The problem with existing technology is that some feeds are water-soluble and some are not, but existing feed mixers cannot add both water-soluble and water-insoluble additives or drugs at the same time.
[0004] The existing equipment mixes one batch of material, and then processes the next batch after the material is discharged. This results in low automation and low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a production line feed additive mixing equipment, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] The purpose of this invention is achieved as follows: A feed additive mixing equipment for a production line includes an electrical control device electrically connected to a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is fitted with a water-soluble additive component, and a non-water-soluble additive component is fitted at its rear end. The water-soluble additive component includes a liquid mixing tank, inside which a stirring component is installed. The liquid mixing tank is connected to a delivery pipe, and the outer end of the delivery pipe is fitted with a high-pressure fan-shaped nozzle corresponding to the conveyor belt. By electrically connecting the conveyor belt to the electrical control device and installing both the water-soluble and non-water-soluble additive components, both of which are electrically connected to the electrical control device, in use, when mixing a specified amount of additive according to a specified amount of feed, if the required dosage is large, the electrical control device controls the conveyor belt to move at a slower speed, allowing the high-pressure fan-shaped nozzle to evenly spray the additive onto the feed above the conveyor belt. Conversely, if the required dosage is small, the conveyor belt moves at a faster speed, and the high-pressure fan-shaped nozzle still evenly sprays the additive onto the feed. High-pressure fan-shaped nozzles are used to spray water-soluble additives, while non-water-soluble additive components are used to add non-water-soluble additives, enabling the simultaneous addition of both water-soluble and non-water-soluble additives or medications to feed. The speed is automatically controlled by an electronic control device, ensuring uniform and automated additive addition, resulting in a high degree of automation and improved production efficiency.
[0007] Furthermore, the non-water-soluble additive assembly includes a lower hopper, inside which a feeding component is installed. The feeding component includes a first motor fixedly mounted above the lower hopper, the output shaft of which is connected to a first rotating shaft, and an auger is spirally and fixedly mounted around the outside of the first rotating shaft. In use, when the feed passes through the conveyor belt, water-soluble additives are added. As the conveyor belt moves, the feed with added water-soluble additives enters the lower hopper, which contains non-water-soluble additives. During the rotation of the first rotating shaft and the auger, the non-water-soluble additives are mixed with the feed, and finally output to the next process.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes an upper hopper, which is correspondingly arranged with the conveyor belt. The upper hopper is equipped with a vibration device and a material shortage sensor, and a valve is installed at the lower end of the upper hopper. In use, a drainage hole is opened on the feed tower, and feed is introduced into the upper hopper of the equipment through a pipe. Under the action of the vibration device, the feed is evenly spread above the conveyor belt.
[0009] Furthermore, the stirring assembly includes a second motor fixedly mounted above the drug solution mixing tank. The output shaft of the second motor is connected to a stirring shaft, and a disc is fixedly mounted at the lower end of the stirring shaft. Multiple upward-curving blades and downward-curving blades are fixedly mounted on the peripheral sidewall of the disc. In use, the rotation of the second motor drives the stirring shaft, disc, and the upward-curving blades and downward-curving blades to rotate, thus uniformly stirring the water-soluble additive drug.
[0010] Furthermore, a water pump is connected to the infusion tube, and a pressure sensor is installed inside the infusion tube. Baffles are installed on the sides and middle of the conveyor belt. The electrical control device includes a microcontroller, which is electrically connected to the drive motor of the conveyor belt. The microcontroller is also electrically connected to the stirring assembly, high-pressure fan-shaped nozzle, feeding assembly, vibration device, material shortage sensor, valves, water pump, and pressure sensor.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The electronic control device automatically controls the speed, achieving automatic and uniform addition of additives, resulting in a high degree of automation and improved production efficiency. During use, when mixing a specified amount of additive with a specified amount of feed, if the required dosage is large, the electronic control device automatically controls the conveyor belt to move at a slower speed, allowing the high-pressure fan-shaped nozzles to evenly spray the additive onto the feed above the conveyor belt. Conversely, if the required dosage is small, the conveyor belt moves at a faster speed, and the high-pressure fan-shaped nozzles still evenly spray the additive onto the feed. The high-pressure fan-shaped nozzles are used to spray water-soluble additives, while the non-water-soluble additive component is used to add water-insoluble additives, enabling the simultaneous addition of both water-soluble and water-insoluble additives or medicines to the feed. A second motor rotates the stirring shaft, disc, and upper and lower baffles, uniformly mixing the water-soluble additives. The automatic calculation of the feeding speed ensures a balanced mixing value between the conveyor belt's feed volume and the sprayed medicine. Multiple batches of processing quantities can be input according to actual needs to achieve automated material mixing on an assembly line.
[0012] This invention creates equipment with low cost, uniform mixing, safe operation, and even drug administration, saving on additive costs. It can be automated in production lines, greatly saving labor costs. Combined with a control system, it can be extended to downstream feed lines in farms to achieve automated quantitative feeding of animals, saving grain. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The usage process is as follows:
[0025] First, turn on the power and enter three data points on the input panel;
[0026] The density value of the feed processed this time (the density value is the weight of the product in a single cell on conveyor belt 2).
[0027] Enter the processing output per hour (300 kg / hour or 2000 kg / hour).
[0028] Processing volume for this transaction: (e.g., 500 kg for this transaction or multiple batches of processing volume)
[0029] The equipment calculates the output per meter of conveyor belt rotation based on the input density value: the microcontroller calculates the output based on the weight of a single cell on the conveyor belt, which is manually input.
[0030] Hourly processing capacity: The output per hour is calculated by the microcontroller and divided by the output of the product conveyed 1 meter on conveyor belt 2 to obtain the speed of the motor of conveyor belt 2 per hour.
[0031] The microcontroller calculates the current processing volume (hourly output * current processing volume) and the conveyor belt 2 running time, then transmits the instruction to the conveyor drive motor for the running time. The microcontroller can also store multiple batch execution instructions.
