Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically relating to automatic feeding equipment, and more particularly to a feed hopper for uniform feeding. Background Technology

[0002] With continuous social development, the level of automation in the livestock industry is increasing, with automated equipment such as air quality control systems and automatic feed dispensing devices emerging in breeding areas. The widespread application of these devices has greatly reduced labor costs and significantly improved work efficiency. Currently, to achieve better breeding results, mixed feeding is widely adopted, which involves mixing various feeds in a specific ratio to achieve a reasonable balance of coarse and fine grains. However, existing feeding equipment has functional limitations and cannot automatically complete feed mixing. Workers must first manually mix the feed and then put it into the feed hopper before starting the automated feeding process. This undoubtedly results in a high workload for workers. To solve this problem, a feed hopper with uniform feeding is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a uniformly feeding hopper, which has the advantages of uniform feeding and a large feeding coverage area.

[0027] The uniform feeding hopper of this utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1-3As shown, the uniformly feeding hopper according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a hopper 71, a first conveying unit 75, and a second conveying unit; one end of the first conveying unit 75 is formed with a discharge port, the first conveying unit 75 is disposed at the bottom of the hopper 71, the bottom of the hopper 71 is formed with a leakage port, the leakage port is located above the second conveying unit, and the first conveying unit 75 is used to convey the feed flowing out of the leakage port to the discharge port; the second conveying unit is located on the lower surface inside the hopper 71, and the second conveying unit includes a first conveying part 741 and a second conveying part 742, the first conveying part 741 and the second conveying part 742 are respectively located on both sides above the leakage port, and the first conveying part 741 and the second conveying part 742 are used to transfer the feed at the end of the hopper 71 to the leakage port.

[0029] In this embodiment, different feeds are added above the first conveying section 741 and the second conveying section 742 respectively. The first conveying section 741 and the second conveying section 742 respectively transport the different feeds to the discharge port, where they are mixed. The feed is then transported to the discharge port by the first conveying unit 75 below the discharge port, completing the feeding process. This replaces manual mixing and effectively reduces labor costs. Furthermore, by setting up the second conveying unit, the feed from each end of the hopper 71 is concentrated in the first conveying unit 75, reducing the accumulation of feed at the ends and corners of the hopper 71. This not only ensures clean and thorough feeding but also avoids the need to build a guide slope at the lower end of the hopper 71, thereby expanding the effective volume inside the hopper 71 and further increasing the feeding coverage area.

[0030] The first conveyor section 741 and the second conveyor section 742 are arranged at intervals along the length of the hopper 71.

[0031] Both the first transmission section 741 and the second transmission section 742 include: a transmission shaft 721, a spiral blade 722, and a limiting plate 723; the spiral blade 722 is disposed on the circumferential surface of the transmission shaft 721, the limiting plate 723 is disposed below the transmission shaft 721, the cross section of the limiting plate 723 is arc-shaped, and the spiral blade 722 is slidably connected to the limiting plate 723.

[0032] In this embodiment, the diameter and helical spacing of the spiral blades 722 of the first conveying section 741 and the second conveying section 742 can be the same size. The mixing ratio can be completed by adjusting the rotation speed of the first conveying section 741 and the second conveying section 742, thereby improving the flexibility of the mixing ratio.

[0033] The drive shafts 721 of the first transmission section 741 and the second transmission section 742 are fixedly connected, and the spiral blades 722 of the first transmission section 741 and the second transmission section 742 are mirror images of each other.

[0034] It also includes a transmission assembly 73, which is located at one end of the hopper 71 and is used to drive the second conveying unit.

[0035] In this embodiment, the drive shafts 721 of the first conveying unit 741 and the second conveying unit 742 are integrated. Both ends of the drive shafts 721 of the first conveying unit 741 and the second conveying unit 742 are connected to the bearings of the hopper 71, and one end protrudes from one end of the hopper 71 to be fixedly connected to the output end of the transmission assembly 73. At this time, the output end of the transmission assembly 73 drives the connected drive shaft 721 to rotate, causing the first conveying unit 741 and the second conveying unit 742 to gather feed towards the feed outlet. By mirroring the spiral blades 722 of the first conveying unit 741 and the second conveying unit 742, the first conveying unit 741 and the second conveying unit 742 can share a single transmission assembly 73, thereby reducing the number of drive assemblies and saving energy. Furthermore, the diameter and spiral spacing of the spiral blades 722 of the first conveying unit 741 and the second conveying unit 742 can be set to different sizes according to the required feed ratio to achieve synchronous drive to complete different mixing ratios.

[0036] The conveying direction of the first conveying unit 75 is the width direction of the hopper 71, so as to shorten the conveying distance of the first conveying unit 75. The first conveying unit 75 may be a guide pipe with a downward inclination, so that the feed falling into the first conveying unit 75 through the discharge port slides into the feed trough; the first conveying unit 75 may also be a conveyor belt or other conveying equipment.

[0037] In this embodiment, one end of the first conveying unit 75 protrudes from the hopper 71 to supply feed to the feed trough.

[0038] There are multiple second conveying units, which are arranged side by side along the width of the hopper 71.

[0039] In this embodiment, multiple second conveying units are used to reduce the diameter of the spiral blade 722, reduce the amount of mixing between the first conveying unit 741 and the second conveying unit 742 each time, further improve the uniformity of mixing, and make the feeding more uniform.

[0040] Multiple secondary conveyor units employ chain drive.

[0041] In this embodiment, chain drive is used to enable multiple second conveying units to share a single drive assembly 73, which reduces the number of drive assemblies and lowers the area occupied by the silo 71.

[0042] The bottom of the hopper 71 converges inward along the width direction to form two guide slopes in the width direction, so that the feed gathers along the guide slopes to the second conveying unit, thereby reducing the width of the bottom of the hopper 71 and reducing the number of second conveying units.

[0043] The bottom of the hopper 71 is equipped with wheels 11 to facilitate the movement of the hopper 71.

[0044] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
