[0025] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model is a mixing device for feed additive production, including a mixing tank 1; a feed cover 8 is hinged to the outer wall of the mixing tank 1, a stirring assembly is rotatably installed on the top of the mixing tank 1, a sampling tube 4 is connected to the outer wall of the mixing tank 1, a discharge pipe 5 is connected to the outer wall of the sampling tube 4, a sampling assembly is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the sampling tube 4, an L-shaped plate 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mixing tank 1, and a detection assembly is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the L-shaped plate 6.
[0027] Open the feed inlet cover 8 and put the feed to be mixed into the mixing tank 1 in sequence. Stir the feed additives in the mixing tank 1 using the stirring component. During the stirring process, rotate the sampling component to allow the mixed material in the mixing tank 1 to flow into the detection component and detect the pH value of the material in the mixing tank 1. This is to avoid the influence of different pH environments on the probiotic feed and reduce the nutritional conversion of the feed.
[0028] Furthermore, the mixing assembly includes a support frame 3 fixed to the top of the mixing tank 1, a motor 2 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 3, a mixing shaft 9 that penetrates into the interior of the mixing tank 1 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 2, and several mixing blades fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mixing shaft 9.
[0029] Start the motor 2 on the support frame 3. The motor 2 is powered by an external power source. The rotation of the motor 2 drives the stirring shaft 9 and several stirring blades on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 9 to rotate together, so as to fully stir and mix the feed additives in the mixing tank 1 and ensure the consistency of product quality.
[0030] Furthermore, the sampling assembly includes a second baffle 404 fixed to the inner wall of the sampling tube 4, a first baffle 403 rotating on one side of the second baffle 404, and an elongated plate 402 fixed on the first baffle 403. A fixing plate 401 is fixedly connected to the elongated plate 402. An arc-shaped groove 410 that cooperates with the elongated plate 402 is opened on the outer wall of the sampling tube 4. A through groove 405 is opened on the outer walls of both the second baffle 404 and the first baffle 403. A limit component is slidably arranged inside the fixing plate 401.
[0031] Baffle 1 403 and Baffle 2 404 are initially 180 degrees apart, used to seal the material in mixing tank 1 and prevent the material from flowing out. Rotating Baffle 1 403 aligns the through groove 405 on Baffle 1 403 with the through groove 405 on Baffle 2 404. At this time, the material in mixing tank 1 flows into sampling tube 4 through the through grooves 405 on Baffle 1 403 and Baffle 2 404, and flows out through discharge pipe 1 5 to the next testing process. The sampling component simplifies the sampling operation process, eliminating the need for complex actions or a lot of time, and can quickly complete the sampling process, improving work efficiency. Especially when frequent sampling is required, it can save a lot of time and labor costs.
[0032] Furthermore, the detection assembly includes a collection hopper 601, with a detection probe 605 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the collection hopper 601, and a display screen 604 electrically connected to one side of the detection probe 605 on the outer wall of the collection hopper 601.
[0033] Material flows into the collection hopper 601 through the discharge pipe 5. The material submerges the detection probe 605, which detects the pH value of the material in the collection hopper 601. The detection probe 605 is powered by a battery, and the detection data is controlled by the controller. The detection result is displayed on the display screen 604 on the outer wall of the collection hopper 601. The detection component enables automatic detection of the pH value of the material in the collection hopper 601, facilitating timely adjustments.
[0034] Furthermore, the bottom of the collecting hopper 601 is connected to a discharge pipe 602, and the outer wall of the discharge pipe 602 is connected to a control valve 603.
[0035] After testing, the material flows out through the discharge pipe 602, leaving the collection hopper 601 empty, which is convenient for the next material testing. The control valve 603 is used for material outflow and sealing.
[0036] Furthermore, the limiting assembly includes a limiting rod 406, a limiting ring 408 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting rod 406, a spring 407 is fixedly connected to the limiting ring 408 and sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting rod 406, and two limiting grooves 409 are symmetrically opened on the outer walls of the sampling tube 4 and the baffle 403 to cooperate with the limiting rod 406.
[0037] By pulling the limiting rod 406, the limiting ring 408 compresses the spring 407. The spring 407 generates kinetic energy, causing the limiting rod 406 to disengage from the limiting groove 409 on the baffle 403, allowing the baffle 403 to move. This pushes the fixing plate 401, causing the baffle 403 to rotate 180 degrees along the arc groove 410. After rotating the fixing plate 401 180 degrees, the limiting rod 406 on the fixing plate 401 corresponds to the sampling tube 4 and the limiting groove 409 on the baffle 403. The spring 407 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the limiting rod 406 into the limiting groove 409, thus limiting the baffle 403. The limiting component simplifies the process for operators to use the equipment and improves convenience. It also prevents the material in the mixing tank 1 from impacting the baffle 403 and causing it to rotate, thus affecting the material flow and the next process.
[0038] Furthermore, the bottom of the mixing tank 1 is fixedly connected with multiple support legs 7.
[0039] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: Open the feed cover 8, put the feed to be mixed into the mixing tank 1 in sequence, start the motor 2 on the support frame 3. The motor 2 is powered by an external power supply. The rotation of the motor 2 drives the stirring shaft 9 and several stirring blades on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 9 to rotate together, so as to fully stir and mix the feed additives in the mixing tank 1. Pull the limit rod 406 to compress the spring 407 by the limit ring 408. The spring 407 generates kinetic energy, and the limit rod 406 disengages from the limit groove 409 on the baffle 403. The baffle 403 can move. Push the fixing plate 401 to drive the baffle 403 to rotate 180 degrees along the arc groove 410. Then rotate the fixing plate 401 180 degrees. At this time, the limit rod 406 on the fixing plate 401 is in contact with the sampling tube 4 and the baffle. Corresponding to the limiting groove 409 on 403, the spring 407 releases elastic potential energy to push the limiting rod 406 into the limiting groove 409, limiting the first baffle 403. At this time, the material in the mixing tank 1 flows into the sampling tube 4 through the through groove 405 on the first baffle 403 and the second baffle 404, and flows out through the discharge pipe 5 to the next detection process. The material flows into the collection hopper 601 through the discharge pipe 5. The material submerges the detection probe 605. The detection probe 605 detects the pH value of the material in the collection hopper 601. The detection result is displayed on the display screen 604 on the outer wall of the collection hopper 601. The detected material flows out through the second discharge pipe 602, leaving the collection hopper 601 empty, which is convenient for the next material detection. The control valve 603 is used for the outflow and sealing of the material.
