Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, and more specifically, to a medication and feed dispensing device for pig feeding. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, medication and feed dispensing devices for pigs typically employ simple mechanical or flow control systems to mix medications with feed. However, these traditional devices face several significant technical bottlenecks in practical applications, particularly in the precise control of the flow ratios of different medications and feeds. This leads to inaccurate feed-to-medication ratios, negatively impacting the health and growth of pigs.

[0003] First, many existing medication and feed dispensing systems rely on fixed flow rates, making it impossible to flexibly adjust to the characteristics of different medications or feeds. If the ratio of different medications to feed cannot be precisely adjusted, it may lead to overdosing or underdosing, negatively impacting the health of pigs. This is especially true for certain medications, such as antibiotics and vaccines, whose dosages must be strictly formulated according to specific ratios; otherwise, it may affect the pigs' immunization efficacy, cause drug residues, or even pollute the farming environment.

[0004] Secondly, the design of the diverter plate in existing equipment often lacks fine adjustment functions. The main function of the diverter plate is to separate and mix the medicine and feed, but its adjustment process is usually cumbersome and inconvenient, often requiring manual disassembly, adjustment or replacement of diverter plates of different specifications to achieve the expected flow ratio.

Side push cylinders 7 are mounted on both sides of the diverting frame 3. A movable frame 8 is installed at one end of the flow divider 3, and the movable frame 8 slides at the top end of the flow divider 3 to control the size of the feed inlet. The flow divider clamping mechanism includes a clamping pipe 9 and a clamping rod 10. A prying plate 11 is rotatably installed on the side wall of the clamping pipe 9. A prying block 12 is installed at one end of the prying plate 11. A clamping groove 13 is opened on the side wall of the clamping rod 10. A constant pressure sleeve 14 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the clamping pipe 9, and the constant pressure sleeve 14 presses against the prying plate 11, so that the prying block 12 is embedded in the clamping groove 13.

[0031] In this embodiment, the feeding and diversion mechanism works in concert with the diversion frame 3 and the diversion plate 4. First, feed or medicine enters the system through the feed inlet at the top of the diversion frame 3. The size of the feed inlet can be controlled by the side push cylinder 7. The side push cylinder 7 drives the moving frame 8 to slide and adjust the opening size at the top of the diversion frame 3. After the feed enters, it is conveyed by the conveyor belt assembly 5 and simultaneously diverted by the diversion plate 4. The diversion plate 4 is installed at the bottom of the adjusting plate 6 and its position can be adjusted by the diversion clamping mechanism, thereby controlling the diversion flow rate of the material. To achieve rapid installation and adjustment of the diverter plate 4, during operation, first pass the snap-fit ​​rod 10 through the adjustment hole 25 on the adjustment plate 6, and then align it with the snap-fit ​​tube 9 installed on the side plate 24 of the diverter plate 4. The pry plate 11 on the side wall of the snap-fit ​​tube 9 has a pry block 12, which can be embedded in the snap-fit ​​groove 13 on the side wall of the snap-fit ​​rod 10. For a fixed connection, the operator slides the pressure sleeve 14 to press against the pry plate 11, so that the pry block 12 is firmly embedded in the snap-fit ​​groove 13, thereby locking the connection between the snap-fit ​​rod 10 and the snap-fit ​​tube 9, and achieving stable fixation of the diverter plate 4.

[0032] The snap-fit ​​auxiliary mechanism includes an outer rotating frame 15 and a positioning spring 16. The outer rotating frame 15 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​tube 9.

Multiple sets of positioning springs 16 and rotating plates 19 are provided. Different positioning springs 16 are inserted into the positioning hole 20 in sequence, so that the outer rotating frame 15 rotates stably on the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​tube 9.

[0033] In this embodiment, the stability and adjustment accuracy of the diversion clamping mechanism are enhanced.

[0034] Please see Figures 1-5 As a supplementary embodiment of a feeding and dispensing device for pig farming, which includes a feeding and diversion mechanism, a diversion clamping mechanism, and a clamping auxiliary mechanism: A discharge hopper 21 is installed on the lifting plate 2, and a discharge pipe 22 is installed at the bottom end of the discharge hopper 21. The inlet of the discharge hopper 21 is matched with the output port of the conveyor belt assembly 5. The lifting plate 2 is movably mounted on the screw assembly 1, and a mounting bracket 23 is installed on the screw assembly 1. The mounting bracket 23 is fixedly installed on the required device. Side plates 24 are installed on both sides of the diversion plate 4, and the clamping pipe 9... The adjustment plate 6 is fixedly installed on the side plate 24. The adjustment plate 6 has adjustment holes 25. The locking rod 10 extends through different adjustment holes 25 and engages with the locking pipe 9 to fix the diverting plate 4 in the required position and divert the material flow of the conveyor belt assembly 5. The lifting plate 2 is equipped with a hydraulic cylinder 26, and a sealing plate 27 is installed at one end of the hydraulic cylinder 26. The sealing plate 27 cooperates with the discharge bucket 21 to cut off and block the flow. A connecting plate 28 is installed on the side wall of the locking pipe 9 and is fixedly installed on the side plate 24.

[0035] More specifically, the height of the lifting plate 2 is adjusted by the screw assembly 1 to make the feeding and diversion mechanism reach a suitable working position. According to the feeding requirements, the appropriate adjustment hole 25 position is selected. The diversion plate 4 is fixed by the diversion clamping mechanism and the clamping auxiliary mechanism to determine the diversion direction and flow ratio. The side push cylinder 7 is started, the position of the moving frame 8 is adjusted, the size of the feed inlet is controlled, and the feeding rate is adjusted according to the amount of feed or medicine to be added. After the material enters the diversion frame 3, it is conveyed by the conveyor belt assembly 5 and guided by the diversion plate 4 to be diverted. It is distributed according to the preset ratio. The material after diversion is conveyed to the discharge hopper 21 by the conveyor belt, and then output to the target area through the discharge pipe 22. If necessary, the sealing plate 27 can be controlled by the hydraulic cylinder 26 on the lifting plate 2 to cut off or adjust the material flow of the discharge hopper 21. The outer rotating frame 15 is rotated in the opposite direction to make the embedded block and the clamping slot 13 disengage from the clamping state, so that the clamping rod 10 can be disengaged from the clamping pipe 9.

[0036] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment: When the feeding and diversion mechanism is required to operate, the feeding and diversion mechanism works in concert with the diversion frame 3 and the diversion plate 4. First, the feed or medicine enters the system through the feed inlet at the top of the diversion frame 3. The size of the feed inlet can be controlled by the side push cylinder 7. The side push cylinder 7 drives the moving frame 8 to slide and adjust the opening size at the top of the diversion frame 3. After the feed enters, it is conveyed by the conveyor belt assembly 5 and simultaneously diverted by the diversion plate 4. The diversion plate 4 is installed at the bottom of the adjusting plate 6 and its position can be adjusted by the diversion clamping mechanism, thereby controlling the diversion flow rate of the material.

[0037] When the diversion clamping mechanism is in operation, it enables the quick installation and adjustment of the diversion plate 4. During operation, the clamping rod 10 is first passed through the adjustment hole 25 on the adjustment plate 6, and then connected to the clamping tube 9 installed on the side plate 24 of the diversion plate 4. The prying plate 11 on the side wall of the clamping tube 9 has a prying block 12, which can be embedded in the slot 13 on the side wall of the clamping rod 10. For a fixed connection, the operator slides the pressure sleeve 14 to press against the prying plate 11, so that the prying block 12 is firmly embedded in the slot 13, thereby locking the connection between the clamping rod 10 and the clamping tube 9, and achieving stable fixation of the diversion plate 4.

[0038] When the auxiliary clamping mechanism is required to operate, it enhances the stability and adjustment accuracy of the diversion clamping mechanism. The outer rotating frame 15 is limited to rotate and installed on the outer wall of the clamping tube 9. The spiral plate 17 at its bottom cooperates with the spiral groove 18 on the side wall of the pressure sleeve 14. By rotating the outer rotating frame 15, the movement position and pressure of the pressure sleeve 14 can be precisely controlled. The rotating plate 19 at the top of the outer rotating frame 15 is provided with a positioning hole 20, which cooperates with multiple sets of positioning springs 16 on the outer wall of the clamping tube 9. When rotated to a specific position, the positioning springs 16 will extend into the positioning holes 20 in sequence to provide a staged positioning function, ensuring that the outer rotating frame 15 rotates stably and is positioned accurately.

[0039] Adjust the height of the lifting plate 2 by the screw assembly 1 to make the feeding and diversion mechanism reach the appropriate working position. Select the appropriate adjustment hole 25 position according to the feeding requirements. Fix the diversion plate 4 using the diversion clamping mechanism and clamping auxiliary mechanism to determine the diversion direction and flow ratio. Start the side push cylinder 7, adjust the position of the moving frame 8, control the size of the feed inlet, and adjust the feeding rate according to the amount of feed or medicine to be added. After the material enters the diversion frame 3, it is transported by the conveyor belt assembly 5 and guided by the diversion plate 4 to be diverted according to the preset ratio. The material after diversion is transported to the discharge hopper 21 by the conveyor belt, and then output to the target area through the discharge pipe 22. If necessary, the sealing plate 27 can be controlled by the hydraulic cylinder 26 on the lifting plate 2 to cut off or adjust the material flow of the discharge hopper 21. Rotate the outer rotating frame 15 in the opposite direction to make the embedded block and the clamping slot 13 disengage from the clamping state, so that the clamping rod 10 can be disengaged from the clamping pipe 9.
