Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed feeding technology, specifically a self-cleaning feed feeding cart box. Background Technology

[0002] Pig farming is an important industry in my country's agriculture, playing a vital role in ensuring the safe supply of meat. With the improvement of living standards, people's demand for meat is gradually increasing. Traditional manual breeding methods are labor-intensive and have low yields, which can no longer meet the pace of modern large-scale farming. As a result, large-scale and automated breeding methods have been adopted, leading to the widespread use of automated breeding equipment.

[0003] Among them, powdered feed materials are particularly prone to adhering to the inner wall of the feed truck's hopper due to the light weight of each particle, static electricity, and moisture absorption, which affects the feeding and use of the feed.

[0004] In existing technologies, cleaning the inside of feed delivery truck boxes mostly relies on manual operation, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and difficult to do in a timely manner, resulting in greater powder adhesion and increasing the difficulty of cleaning. To address this, we propose a self-cleaning feed delivery truck box. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a self-cleaning feed truck bin to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that cleaning the inside of the feed truck bin is mostly done manually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and difficult to clean in a timely manner, resulting in greater powder adhesion and increasing the difficulty of cleaning.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a self-cleaning feed truck feed box, comprising a storage box and a mounting plate, a hopper is provided on the right side of the storage box, a discharge pipe is provided on the lower side of the storage box, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the storage box, a drive motor is installed at the upper end of the storage box, the output shaft of the drive motor and the rotating shaft are fixedly installed, a spiral blade is provided at the lower end of the rotating shaft, a turntable is fixedly installed at the upper end of the rotating shaft, a slot is provided on the turntable, and a cleaning component is provided below the turntable;

[0007] The cleaning component includes a sliding sleeve with a spiral groove inside. A lever is fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating shaft and is movably connected inside the spiral groove. An upper plate is rotatably connected to the outside of the sliding sleeve via a bearing. A lower plate is connected to the lower end of the upper plate via a pin. Scrapers are provided on the outside of both the lower and upper plates. A torsion spring is sleeved on the pin and is located inside the lower plate.

[0008] Preferably, the scraper is in contact with the inner side of the storage bin, and the scraper and the center line of the rotating shaft are parallel to each other.

[0009] Preferably, the turntable is positioned above the sliding sleeve, and the turntable and the sliding sleeve are spaced apart.

[0010] Preferably, the spiral groove is closed at both ends, and the width of the spiral groove is equal to the width of the lever block.

[0011] Preferably, the upper end of the upper plate is provided with a retaining plate, which is movably engaged with the inside of the retaining groove.

[0012] Preferably, the spiral blade is disposed inside the feed tube.

[0013] Preferably, the centers of the turntable, sliding sleeve, and rotating shaft are collinear.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. The self-cleaning feed truck's storage bin features a cleaning component installed inside. During feeding, the drive motor is activated, causing the shaft to rotate. This rotation causes the turntable, lever, and spiral blades to all rotate. As the turntable rotates and the lever moves in a circular motion, it engages with a locking plate in a slot. The sliding sleeve then stops rotating with the shaft, instead sliding within the spiral groove. This allows the sliding sleeve to move only upwards or downwards along the axis of the shaft, causing the upper and lower plates to slide up and down inside the storage bin. A scraper cleans residual feed from the inner wall of the storage bin, ensuring its cleanliness. Simultaneously, the spiral blades at the discharge pipe facilitate feeding and discharge.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example: Please refer to Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a self-cleaning feed truck bin, mainly addressing the problem that cleaning the inside of feed truck bins is mostly done manually, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and difficult to clean in a timely manner, resulting in greater powder adhesion and increasing the difficulty of cleaning. The specific solution is as follows: it includes a storage bin 1 and a mounting plate 3. A hopper 2 is provided on the right side of the storage bin 1, which facilitates the pouring of feed into the feed truck bin. A discharge pipe 4 is provided on the lower side of the storage bin 1, which facilitates the dropping of feed.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A rotating shaft 8 is rotatably connected inside the storage bin 1. A drive motor 7 is installed at the upper end of the storage bin 1. The drive motor 7 is connected to a control switch via wires. The output shaft of the drive motor 7 and the rotating shaft 8 are fixedly installed. A spiral blade 5 is provided at the lower end of the rotating shaft 8 and is located inside the feed pipe 4. A turntable 65 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the rotating shaft 8. A slot 651 is provided on the turntable 65, and a cleaning component 6 is provided below the turntable 65. When the drive motor 7 is turned on, the rotating shaft 8 can rotate, which in turn drives the turntable 65 and the spiral blade 5 to rotate. The rotation of the spiral blade 5 facilitates the discharge of feed from inside the storage bin 1 and prevents blockage inside the storage bin 1.

[0025] Please see Figure 2The cleaning component 6 includes a sliding sleeve 61, with a turntable 65 positioned above it and spaced apart. The turntable 65, sliding sleeve 61, and rotating shaft 8 are collinear. A spiral groove 62 is formed inside the sliding sleeve 61, and a lever 63 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the rotating shaft 8. The lever 63 is movably connected inside the spiral groove 62, which is closed at both ends, and the width of the spiral groove 62 is equal to the width of the lever 63. When the drive motor 7 is turned on, the rotating shaft 8 rotates, causing the lever 63 to move in a circular motion within the spiral groove 62.

[0026] Furthermore, an upper plate 64 is rotatably connected to the outside of the sliding sleeve 61 via a bearing. A retaining plate 652 is provided at the upper end of the upper plate 64, and the retaining plate 652 is movably engaged inside the retaining groove 651. A lower plate 68 is connected to the lower end of the upper plate 64 via a pin 66. Scrapers 69 are provided on the outer sides of both the lower plate 68 and the upper plate 64. The retaining plate 652 engages with the retaining groove 651. At this time, the sliding sleeve 61 will not rotate with the rotating shaft 8, but the toggle block 63 slides inside the spiral groove 62. This allows the sliding sleeve 61 to move only upward or downward along the axis of the rotating shaft 8, thereby driving the upper plate 64 and the lower plate 68 to slide up and down inside the storage bin 1. The scraper 69 can clean the residual feed on the inner wall of the storage bin 1, further preventing feed residue from remaining on the side wall of the storage bin 1 and causing inconvenience to feed feeding.

[0027] In this example, a torsion spring 67 is sleeved on the pin 66, and the torsion spring 67 is located inside the lower plate 68. The scraper 69 contacts the inner side of the storage bin 1, and the center lines of the scraper 69 and the rotating shaft 8 are parallel to each other. The torsion spring 67 is designed to ensure that the angle between the lower plate 68 and the upper plate 64 on the side corresponding to the rotating shaft 8 is at its maximum in the initial state. As the upper plate 64 and the lower plate 68 move downward, after the lower plate 68 touches the lower end of the storage bin 1, the angle between the lower plate 68 and the upper plate 64 on the side corresponding to the rotating shaft 8 is reduced, allowing the lower plate 68 to fit against the lower end of the storage bin 1. The scraper 69 on the outer side of the lower plate 68 and the upper plate 64 can clean the residual feed on the inner wall of the storage bin 1. During the feeding process, automatic cleaning is performed, further ensuring the cleanliness of the storage bin 1 of the feeding vehicle.

[0028] Working principle: Before use, the drive motor 7 of this self-cleaning feed truck is stopped, and the feed to be fed is poured into the storage box 1 through the hopper 2. When feeding, the drive motor 7 is turned on, and the rotating shaft 8 rotates under the drive of the drive motor 7. After the rotating shaft 8 rotates, the turntable 65, the paddle block 63 and the spiral blade 5 all rotate. During the rotation of the turntable 65 and the circular motion of the paddle block 63, the paddle block 63 is engaged in the slot 651 by the clamping plate 652. At this time, the sliding sleeve 61 will not rotate with the rotating shaft 8, but the paddle block 63 slides in the spiral groove 62, so that the sliding sleeve 61 can only move up or down along the axis of the rotating shaft 8, thereby driving the upper plate 64 and the lower plate 68 to slide up and down inside the storage box 1. The scraper 69 can clean the residual feed on the inner wall of the storage box 1.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art 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 appended claims and their equivalents.
