Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural machinery technology, and more specifically, it relates to a device for removing iron foreign objects from a TMR feeding vehicle used in ranches. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of animal husbandry, numerous ranches across China have come into the public eye. Building ranches for cattle penning has become a profitable farming method. However, during the process of raising cattle in pens, the use of TMR (Total Mixed Feed) trucks for feeding has caused considerable trouble for herders due to iron foreign objects mixed in with the feed. If these iron foreign objects are accidentally ingested by the cattle, they may pose a potential threat to their health and even cause disease.

[0003] Currently, the removal of iron foreign objects from pasture feed in China mainly relies on manual labor. However, manual cleaning is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also inefficient. Workers often become covered in dirt and are extremely tired during the process. Furthermore, due to the limitations of manual cleaning, some small or undetectable iron foreign objects may inevitably be missed, further increasing the risk of cattle ingesting them. Therefore, it is necessary to modify existing TMR (Total Mercury Removal) feed trucks to remove iron foreign objects from the feed, ensuring that the feed output from the TMR trucks is free of iron foreign objects, thus preventing accidental ingestion by cattle and protecting their health. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for removing iron foreign objects from a TMR feeder used in ranches, which aims to solve the technical problem that livestock may accidentally ingest iron foreign objects in the feed when using a TMR feeder in ranches.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: to provide a ferrous foreign object removal device for a TMR feeding vehicle used in a ranch, comprising:

[0006] The TMR feeding vehicle has a hopper with a feeding port at the top and a discharging port at the bottom. The feeding port is used to feed the forage to be mixed into the TMR feeding vehicle, and the forage mixed by the TMR feeding vehicle is discharged from the discharging port.

[0007] Multiple powerful magnets are connected to the inner wall of the feeding port of the TMR feeding vehicle. The powerful magnets are used to magnetically attract iron foreign objects in the feed put into the TMR feeding vehicle to remove iron foreign objects.

[0008] The powerful magnets are arranged at intervals, and their positions can be adjusted.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the powerful magnet has a mounting hole in the middle, and the inner wall of the feeding port of the TMR feeding vehicle has a blind hole. A fastener is inserted into the mounting hole and is used to connect the blind hole to fix the powerful magnet.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the feeding port of the TMR feeding vehicle is rotatably connected to a stirring magnetic suction component. The stirring magnetic suction component is used to stir the feed fed into the feeding port and simultaneously magnetically attract iron foreign objects in the feed. The stirring magnetic suction component is horizontally arranged, and its upper end is lower than the upper end of the feeding port.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the stirring magnetic assembly includes:

[0012] The rotating shaft is horizontally arranged and its two ends are respectively rotatably connected to the opposite side walls of the feeding port of the TMR feeding vehicle. The rotating shaft has a degree of freedom of rotation about its axis.

[0013] A driver is located outside the feeding port, and its power output end is connected to one end of the rotating shaft. The driver is used to drive the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0014] The stirring rods are multiple and each has one end connected to the rotating shaft. The stirring rods are arranged axially perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft. The stirring rods are used to stir and insert the feed into the feeding port.

[0015] There are multiple magnets, each connected to the outer wall of one of the stirring rods, and each of the magnets is used to magnetically attract iron foreign objects in the feed introduced into the feeding port.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the stirring magnetic assembly further includes a control panel electrically connected to the driver and used to control the operation of the driver, thereby controlling the stirring of forage.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the plurality of stirring rods are arranged in a spiral shape around the axis of rotation.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the outer wall of the rotating shaft is provided with a first insertion hole extending radially therein, and one end of the stirring rod is provided with a second insertion hole extending axially therein. A rod is inserted into the first insertion hole or the second insertion hole. The first insertion hole and the second insertion hole have the same inner diameter and are aligned. The two ends of the rod are respectively inserted into the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole to fix the stirring rod.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the outer wall of the stirring rod is connected to a connector for fixing the magnet.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the inner wall of the hopper is connected to a plurality of the powerful magnets, which are used to magnetically attract ferrous foreign objects located inside the hopper.

[0021] In one possible implementation, a plurality of powerful magnets are connected to the inner wall of the discharge port, the powerful magnets being used to magnetically attract ferrous foreign objects discharged from the discharge port.

[0033] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0034] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 2 This invention provides a device for removing iron foreign objects from a TMR feeder used in a ranch. The device includes a TMR feeder 1 and multiple powerful magnets 2. The TMR feeder 1 has a hopper 11 with a feed inlet 12 at the top and a discharge outlet 13 at the bottom. The feed inlet 12 is used to feed forage to be mixed into the TMR feeder 1, and the mixed forage is discharged from the discharge outlet 13. Multiple powerful magnets 2 are connected to the inner wall of the feed inlet 12 of the TMR feeder 1. The magnets 2 are used to magnetically attract iron foreign objects from the forage fed into the TMR feeder 1, thereby removing the iron foreign objects. The multiple magnets 2 are spaced apart, and their positions are adjustable.

[0035] This utility model provides a device for removing iron foreign objects from a TMR feed truck used in ranches. Compared with the prior art, by setting multiple strong magnets 2 on the inner wall of the feed inlet 12, it can remove iron foreign objects from the feed inside the TMR feed truck 1. This solves the technical problem of high labor intensity and low efficiency in manual removal of iron foreign objects accidentally ingested by cattle in livestock farms. It can efficiently remove iron foreign objects from feed, ensuring the safety of the feed consumed by cattle. It not only saves time and manpower, but also improves work efficiency, reduces the labor intensity of workers, reduces potential risks to the health of cattle, and reduces the operating costs of ranches. It also significantly reduces the risk of diseases caused by accidental ingestion of foreign objects.

[0036] In addition, this invention also helps maintain the normal operation of the TMR feeding car 1. If ferrous foreign objects accumulate over a long period of time, they may cause wear and tear on the mechanical parts inside the TMR feeding car 1, or even cause malfunctions. By regularly cleaning these impurities, the service life of the TMR feeding car 1 can be extended, and the frequency of maintenance and parts replacement can be reduced.

[0037] The TMR feeding vehicle 1 in this embodiment is a prior art product. Its hopper 11 is equipped with a stirrer (which is prior art and is not shown in the figure) to stir and mix the feed. After stirring and mixing, the feed can be discharged through the outlet 13 for livestock to eat. Its structure will not be described in detail here.

[0038] To facilitate the installation of the powerful magnet 2 onto the inner wall of the feeding port 12, in some embodiments, please refer to... Figure 3 The powerful magnet 2 has a mounting hole 21 in the middle. The inner wall of the feeding port 12 of the TMR feeding vehicle 1 has blind holes. Fasteners 22 pass through the mounting hole 21 and are used to connect to the blind holes to fix the powerful magnet 2. There are multiple blind holes. The feeding port 12 is generally rectangular. By connecting the fasteners 22 to blind holes at different positions or heights, the powerful magnet 2 can be fixed in different positions to magnetically attract ferrous foreign objects. In actual use, the installation position of the powerful magnet 2 can be reasonably selected according to the specific usage scenario and usage conditions, so as to magnetically attract and remove ferrous foreign objects in the feed put into the feeding port 12. The fastener 22 used in this embodiment can be a screw, which can fix the powerful magnet 2 to the wall of the hopper 11. When it is necessary to move or adjust the position of the powerful magnet 2, the fastener 22 connected to it can be removed, so that the powerful magnet 2 can be removed and installed in other positions or not installed at all.

[0039] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4The feeding port 12 of the TMR feeding vehicle 1 is rotatably connected to a stirring magnetic suction assembly 3. The stirring magnetic suction assembly 3 is used to stir the feed fed into the feeding port 12 and simultaneously magnetically attract iron foreign objects in the feed. The stirring magnetic suction assembly 3 is horizontally positioned, with its upper end lower than the upper end of the feeding port 12. The height of the stirring magnetic suction assembly 3 is lower than the height of the powerful magnet 2. This is because when the powerful magnet 2 cannot attract all the iron foreign objects, i.e., cannot completely remove them, the stirring magnetic suction assembly 3 can be used for secondary magnetic attraction. By stirring the feed with the stirring magnetic suction assembly 3, the feed can be separated, exposing any iron foreign objects located inside or hidden within the feed. Simultaneously, the iron foreign objects inside the feed can be magnetically attracted, thus achieving the purpose of removal.

[0040] The position of the stirring magnetic component 3 does not affect the use of the strong magnet 2. The magnetic attraction of the strong magnet 2 can be regarded as primary magnetism, while the stirring magnetic component 3 can be regarded as secondary magnetism.

[0041] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The stirring magnetic assembly 3 includes a rotating shaft 31, a driver 32, stirring rods 33, and magnets 34. The rotating shaft 31 is horizontally arranged and its two ends are rotatably connected to the opposite side walls of the feeding port 12 of the TMR feeding vehicle 1. The rotating shaft 31 has a degree of freedom of rotation around its axis. The driver 32 is located outside the feeding port 12, and its power output end is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 31. The driver 32 is used to drive the rotating shaft 31 to rotate. There are multiple stirring rods 33, each with one end connected to the rotating shaft 31. The axial direction of the stirring rods 33 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 31. The stirring rods 33 are used to stir and insert the feed into the feeding port 12. There are multiple magnets 34, each connected to the outer wall of the multiple stirring rods 33. The multiple magnets 34 are used to magnetically attract iron foreign objects in the feed into the feeding port 12. The driver 32 is a motor or geared motor that drives the rotating shaft 31 to rotate after startup. The rotating shaft 31 can rotate forward and backward, stirring the forage through multiple stirring rods 33. This stirs the forage and separates clumps of forage, allowing magnets 34 to attract any ferrous foreign objects inside the forage. As the rotating shaft 31 rotates, the sorted forage enters the hopper 11. The two ends of the rotating shaft 31 are rotatably connected to the wall of the hopper 11 (i.e., the side walls of the feeding port 12) through bearings. The driver 32 is located outside the feeding port 12. Multiple stirring rods 33 are arranged axially along the rotating shaft 31, enabling preliminary stirring of the forage. Their main function is to separate or insert into the forage, allowing the magnets 34 to attract any ferrous foreign objects. Multiple magnets 34 are installed on each stirring rod 33. During rotation, the stirring rod 33 and the magnets 34 can be considered as a single unit, thus not affecting the stirring and separation of the forage. The length of the stirring rod 33 should be set so as not to affect the strong magnet 2.

[0042] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The stirring magnetic suction assembly 3 also includes a control panel 35, which is electrically connected to the driver 32 and used to control the operation of the driver 32, thereby controlling the stirring of the forage. This control panel 35 is existing technology and has control buttons to control the operation of the driver 32. It is located on the side wall of the hopper 11, allowing workers to use the control buttons to perform a magnetic suction operation on ferrous foreign objects in the forage.

[0043] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The multiple stirring rods 33 are arranged in a spiral or serpentine pattern around the axis of the rotating shaft 31, or they can be arranged at equal intervals along the axis of the rotating shaft 31. The arrangement is not limited.

[0044] To achieve a detachable connection between the stirring rod 33 and the rotating shaft 31, in some embodiments, please refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 6 The outer wall of the rotating shaft 31 is provided with a first insertion hole 36 extending radially therefrom, and one end of the stirring rod 33 is provided with a second insertion hole 37 extending axially therefrom. A rod 38 is inserted into either the first insertion hole 36 or the second insertion hole 37. The inner diameters of the first insertion hole 36 and the second insertion hole 37 are the same and aligned. The two ends of the rod 38 are respectively inserted into the first insertion hole 36 and the second insertion hole 37 to fix the stirring rod 33. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 31, the rod 38 will not come out, that is, the stirring rod 33 will not naturally detach from the rotating shaft 31. The rod 38 can be used to insert and fix the stirring rod 33 onto the rotating shaft 31, which facilitates the connection and fixation of the stirring rod 33. When it is necessary to disassemble it, a tool can be used to separate the stirring rod 33 or the rotating shaft 31 from the rod 38.

[0045] Specifically, the insertion rod 38 can be a double-ended stud. The inner walls of the first insertion hole 36 and the second insertion hole 37 are provided with internal threads that are threaded to the double-ended stud. In this way, by screwing the insertion rod 38, it can be inserted into the first insertion hole 36 and the second insertion hole 37, thereby realizing the mutual fixed connection between the stirring rod 33 and the rotating shaft 31.

[0046] To facilitate securing the magnet 34 and ensure it does not detach from the stirring rod 33 during rotation, please refer to the following embodiments: Figure 6 The outer wall of the stirring rod 33 is connected to a connector 39, which is used to fix the magnet 34. The connector 39 can be a binding wire or a clamp, which can fix the magnet 34 to the outer wall of the stirring rod 33, and after fixing, it can be considered as a whole with the stirring rod 33. Since the stirring rod 33 can extend into the forage, the magnet 34 can magnetically attract ferrous foreign objects, facilitating the removal of these objects.

[0047] In some embodiments, multiple powerful magnets 2 are connected to the inner wall of the hopper 11, and the powerful magnets 2 are used to magnetically attract ferrous foreign objects located inside the hopper 11. (See also...) Figure 5 Multiple powerful magnets 2 are connected to the inner wall of the discharge port 13. These powerful magnets 2 are used to magnetically attract ferrous foreign objects discharged from the discharge port 13. The aforementioned powerful magnets 2 all have the same structure; however, appropriate sizes or specifications of powerful magnets 2 can be selected based on actual conditions to achieve the effect of magnetically attracting ferrous foreign objects. The installation of these powerful magnets 2 does not affect the use of the TMR feeding cart 1.

[0048] This invention, by modifying the TMR feeding vehicle 1, can not only improve the health of cattle and reduce economic losses caused by diseases, but also reduce labor costs and further improve the overall operational efficiency of the ranch.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
