Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture feed production technology, specifically to a device for quantitative addition and mixing of trace elements in aquaculture feed. Background Technology
[0002] Various trace elements are typically added to animal feed during production to meet the essential substances required for animal physiological metabolism and development. However, existing animal feed is prone to uneven mixing during the addition of trace elements, leading to an imbalance in the distribution of trace elements in the feed. This, in turn, results in uneven nutrient intake among farmed individuals and affects feed palatability and feeding efficiency.
[0003] Therefore, this utility model provides a device for quantitative addition and mixing of trace elements in aquaculture feed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the process of adding trace elements to existing aquaculture feed is prone to uneven mixing, which leads to an imbalance in the distribution of trace elements in the feed, resulting in poor palatability and uneven nutrient intake.
[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a device for quantitative addition and mixing of trace elements in aquaculture feed, comprising a substrate, a feeding component, and a stirring component. The feeding component is fixedly installed in the upper part of the substrate, and the stirring component is coaxially rotatably installed in the substrate. An auxiliary stirring body is eccentrically rotatably installed on the stirring component. During the rotation of the stirring component, the feeding component is controlled to quantitatively feed the feed while simultaneously driving the auxiliary stirring body to rotate at the eccentric position to assist in stirring.
[0006] As one embodiment of this utility model, the feeding assembly includes an annular body and a baffle plate. The annular body is fixedly installed on the upper part of the base. A spiral flow channel is opened inside the annular body. At least two liquid inlet pipes are connected through the uppermost part of the spiral flow channel. The baffle plate is fixedly installed inside the spiral flow channel.
[0007] In one embodiment of this utility model, baffles are fixedly installed alternately on both horizontal sides of the spiral flow channel.
[0008] In one embodiment of this utility model, a closed cover plate is hinged to the end of the spiral flow channel. The hinged end of the closed cover plate is close to the axis of the base body, and an extension body is fixedly extended from the hinged end of the closed cover plate away from the inner wall of the base body.
[0009] In one embodiment of this utility model, the stirring assembly includes a driving body, a stirring shaft, main stirring blades, an auxiliary stirring body, and a fan-shaped body. The driving body is fixedly installed at the top of the base. The stirring shaft, which is coaxially fixed to the driving body, is rotatably installed in the base. Multiple main stirring blades are installed on the surface of the stirring shaft. The auxiliary stirring body is rotatably installed on the upper side of the stirring shaft above the main stirring blades. A lower body is fixedly installed on the lower longitudinal side of the auxiliary stirring body.
[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, the auxiliary stirring body includes a gear ring, a drive shaft, a drive gear, a drive wheel, a connecting member, a driven shaft, a driven wheel, and an auxiliary stirring blade. The gear ring is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the ring. A horizontal body is fixedly installed on the upper side of the end of the stirring shaft located at the main stirring blade. The drive shaft is rotatably installed above the horizontal body. The drive gear and the drive wheel are fixedly installed coaxially on the drive shaft. The driven shaft is rotatably installed through the middle of the horizontal body. The driven wheel is fixedly installed coaxially on the driven shaft located above the horizontal body. The auxiliary stirring blade is fixedly installed coaxially on the driven shaft located below the horizontal body. A connecting member is installed between the drive wheel and the driven wheel.
[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the lower body includes a longitudinal body and a circumferential fan-shaped body. The longitudinal body is fixedly installed on the lower side of the transverse body, and the circumferential fan-shaped body with a fan-shaped structure is fixedly installed on the lower side of the longitudinal body.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] The feeding assembly, stirring attachment, and auxiliary stirring body of this utility model work together to cause the lower body below the main stirring blade to intermittently contact the extension body during the rotation of the stirring shaft and the main stirring blade. This causes the closed cover plate to rotate around the hinge point and open the spiral flow channel, allowing trace elements in the spiral flow channel to be quantitatively input into the matrix and mixed with the feed. At the same time, the rotation of the main stirring blade can also drive the drive gear of the meshing toothed ring to rotate, thereby controlling the auxiliary stirring blade to be located in the middle of the main stirring blade for stirring, thus enhancing the mixing effect.

[0026] To address the problem that uneven mixing during the addition of trace elements to existing aquaculture feed can lead to an imbalance in the distribution of trace elements, resulting in poor palatability and uneven nutrient intake, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the embodiment of this disclosure, a device for quantitative addition and mixing of trace elements in aquaculture feed is provided, including a base 1, a feeding component 2, and a stirring component 3. The feeding component 2 is fixedly installed in the upper part of the base 1, and the stirring component 3 is coaxially rotatably installed in the base 1. An auxiliary stirring body 4 is eccentrically rotatably installed on the stirring component 3. During the rotation of the stirring component 3, the feeding component 2 is controlled to quantitatively feed the feed while the feeding component 2 drives the auxiliary stirring body 4 to rotate to assist in stirring.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the feeding assembly 2 includes an annular body 21 and a baffle plate 23. The annular body 21 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the base 1. A spiral flow channel 22 is opened inside the annular body 21. At least two liquid inlet pipes 24 are connected through the uppermost part of the spiral flow channel 22. The baffle plate 23 is fixedly installed inside the spiral flow channel 22.
[0028] Different hydraulic trace elements enter the spiral flow channel 22 of the annular body 21 through different inlet pipes 24 and flow along the spiral flow channel 22. During their flow along the spiral flow channel 22, the trace elements continuously change direction, thus pre-mixing them and improving the subsequent stirring and mixing effect. Furthermore, as the trace elements flow along the spiral flow channel 22, they come into contact with the baffle plate 23, which obstructs and guides their flow, increasing the radial shear force of the spiral flow, enhancing turbulence, and improving the mixing effect.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, baffle plates 23 are fixedly installed alternately on both horizontal sides inside the spiral flow channel 22.
[0030] The horizontally intersecting baffles 23 enable different liquid trace elements to continuously flow alternately on the left and right sides during the spiral flow, forming a radial serpentine flow, thereby increasing the radial shear force of the spiral flow, enhancing turbulence and improving the mixing effect.
[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a closed cover plate 25 is hinged to the end of the spiral flow channel 22. The hinged end of the closed cover plate 25 is close to the axis of the base 1, and an extension body 251 is fixedly extended from the hinged end of the closed cover plate 25 away from the inner wall of the base 1.
[0032] It should be noted that the sealing cover 25 is hinged by a torsion spring in the prior art, so that the torsion spring can automatically flip and reset to maintain the sealing state. The specific use and installation method of the torsion spring is a very mature technology in the prior art, and will not be elaborated on here.
[0033] The spiral channel 22 can be automatically sealed by the closed cover plate 25. The operator can rotate the spiral channel 22 to add different trace elements, exceeding the reset torsion force of the torsion spring, to open the closed cover plate 25, thereby adding a fixed amount of trace elements to the matrix 1 for stirring.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the stirring assembly 3 includes a drive body 31, a stirring shaft 32, main stirring blades 33, and a fan-shaped body. The drive body 31 is fixedly installed at the top inside the base 1. The stirring shaft 32, which is coaxially fixed to the drive body 31, is rotatably installed inside the base 1. Multiple main stirring blades 33 are installed on the surface of the stirring shaft 32. An auxiliary stirring body 4 is installed on the upper longitudinal side of the stirring shaft 32 and the lower longitudinal side of the auxiliary stirring body 4 is fixedly installed with a lower body 5.
[0035] During the stirring of the bait in the substrate 1, the drive body 31 drives the stirring shaft 32 and the main stirring blade 33 to rotate and stir. During the rotation of the stirring shaft 32 and the main stirring blade 33, the auxiliary stirring body 4 rotates synchronously, so that the lower body 5 intermittently contacts the extension body 251. The lower body 5 squeezes the extension body 251, causing the closed cover plate 25 to rotate around the hinge point and open the spiral flow channel 22, so that the trace elements in the spiral flow channel 22 are input into the substrate 1 and mixed with the bait.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the auxiliary stirring body 4 includes a gear ring 42, a drive shaft 43, a drive gear 44, a drive wheel 45, a connecting piece 46, a driven shaft 47, a driven wheel 48, and an auxiliary stirring blade 49. The gear ring 42 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the annular body 21. A horizontal body 41 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the end of the stirring shaft 32 located at the end of the main stirring blade 33. The drive shaft 43 is rotatably installed above the horizontal body 41. The drive gear 44 and the drive wheel 45 are fixedly installed coaxially on the drive shaft 43. The driven shaft 47 is rotatably installed through the middle of the horizontal body 41. The driven wheel 48 is fixedly installed coaxially on the driven shaft 47 located above the horizontal body 41. The auxiliary stirring blade 49 is fixedly installed coaxially on the driven shaft 47 located below the horizontal body 41. A connecting piece 46 is installed between the drive wheel 45 and the driven wheel 48.
[0037] During the rotation and stirring process of the stirring shaft 32 and the main stirring blade 33, while the lower body 5 and the extension body 251 intermittently contact to open the spiral flow channel 22, the drive gear 44 meshes with the gear ring 42 and rotates, thereby driving the drive shaft 43 and the drive wheel 45 to rotate. Then, through the connecting piece 46, the driven wheel 48 and the driven shaft 47 are driven to rotate, which in turn drives the auxiliary stirring blade 49 to rotate. This allows the auxiliary stirring blade 49 to rotate and stir in the middle of the stirring blade. Thus, while the main stirring blade 33 is rotating and mixing at the axis, the auxiliary stirring blade 49 is located at the eccentric position to assist in mixing and enhance the mixing effect.
[0038] It should be noted that the driving wheel 45, driven wheel 48 and connecting member 46 can adopt belt drive or chain drive in the prior art. Accordingly, the driving wheel 45 and driven wheel 48 can be pulleys or sprockets, and the connecting member 46 can be belts or chains.
[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the lower body 5 includes a longitudinal body 51 and a circumferential fan-shaped body 52. The longitudinal body 51 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the transverse body 41, and the circumferential fan-shaped body 52 with a fan-shaped structure is fixedly installed on the side of the longitudinal body 51 that is horizontally close to the closed cover plate 25.
[0040] It should be noted that the longitudinal body 51 has an L-shaped structure.
[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the extension body 251 includes an extension plate and a turntable. The extension plate is fixed to the hinge end of the closed cover plate 25, and the turntable is rotatably mounted on the end of the extension plate.
[0042] During the process of the stirring shaft 32 driving the main stirring blade 33 to rotate and stir, the stirring shaft 32 simultaneously drives the auxiliary stirring body 4 to rotate and stir. The longitudinal body 51 and the axial fan-shaped body below the auxiliary stirring body 4 rotate around the stirring shaft 32 in a circular motion. As a result, the axial fan-shaped body will intermittently contact the turntable during its rotation. The circumferential fan-shaped body 52 squeezes the turntable, causing the closed cover plate 25 to rotate around the hinge point and open the spiral flow channel 22. This allows the trace elements in the spiral flow channel 22 to be quantitatively input into the matrix 1 and mixed with the feed.
[0043] It should be noted that the duration of extrusion of the extension body 251 can be controlled by setting the fan angle of the circumferential fan body 52, thereby controlling the duration of opening the sealing cover and thus controlling the input amount of trace elements.
[0044] During the mixing process of adding trace elements to aquaculture feed, the operator first inputs different trace elements into the spiral flow channel 22 through different inlet pipes 24 and allows them to flow along the spiral flow channel 22. As a result, the different trace elements are blocked and guided by the baffles 23 installed alternately on both sides of the horizontal plane and the spiral flow channel 22 during the flow process, thus continuously flowing alternately on the left and right sides of the radial direction to form a radial serpentine flow, thereby increasing the radial shear force of the spiral flow, enhancing the turbulence and improving the mixing effect.
[0045] Simultaneously, the operator activates the drive unit 31, causing the stirring shaft 32 and main stirring blades 33 to rotate and stir. The rotation of the stirring shaft 32 and main stirring blades 33 also drives the auxiliary stirring unit 4 to rotate, thereby causing the circumferential fan-shaped body 52 to rotate synchronously and intermittently contact the extension body 251. This causes the circumferential fan-shaped body 52 to press the turntable, causing the closed cover plate 25 to rotate around the hinge point and open the spiral flow channel 22. This allows trace elements in the spiral flow channel 22 to be input into the substrate 1 and mixed with the bait, thus achieving controlled quantitative input of trace elements into the substrate 1 and mixing with the bait. Furthermore, it should be noted that the duration of pressing the turntable can be controlled by setting the fan angle of the circumferential fan-shaped body 52, thereby controlling the duration of opening the sealed cover plate and ultimately controlling the input amount of trace elements.
[0046] While the stirring shaft 32 and the main stirring blade 33 drive the auxiliary stirring body 4 to rotate and mix, and intermittently open the sealing cover, the driving gear 44 meshes with the gear ring 42 and rotates, thereby driving the driving shaft 43 and the driving wheel 45 to rotate. Then, through the connecting piece 46, the driven wheel 48 and the driven shaft 47 are driven to rotate, which in turn drives the auxiliary stirring blade 49 to rotate. This allows the auxiliary stirring blade 49 to rotate and mix in the middle of the stirring blade. Thus, while the main stirring blade 33 is rotating and mixing at the axis, the auxiliary stirring blade 49 is located at the eccentric position to assist in mixing and enhance the mixing effect.
