However, the feeding machine in the above application is the same as existing feeding machines in that it requires staff to mix the feed in advance. It does not have the function of mixing the feed itself, which increases the pre-feeding process and is inconvenient for staff to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic mixing and feeding machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic mixing and feeding machine, comprising a feeding machine feed hopper, a feeding machine discharge port fixedly connected to the bottom of the feeding machine feed hopper, a mixing mechanism provided inside the feeding machine feed hopper, and a driving mechanism provided at the bottom of the mixing mechanism.

[0006] The mixing mechanism includes a mixing component, a support component one, and a support component two. The mixing component is disposed inside the feed hopper of the feeder, the support component one is disposed on the top of the mixing component, and the support component two is disposed on the bottom of the mixing component.

[0009] Preferably, the support assembly includes a connecting drum, which is rotatably connected to the top of the outer ring of the rotating rod. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the connecting drum. The fixing plate is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the feed hopper of the feeder. Reinforcing fins are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the connecting drum, and the reinforcing fins are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate.

[0010] Preferably, the second support component includes a rotating ring, which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the outer ring of the rotating rod. A fixing rod is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the rotating ring, and the fixing rod is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the feed inlet of the feeder.

[0011] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a drive motor, which is fixedly connected to the front side of the feed inlet of the feeder.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic mixing and feeding machine, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This automatic mixing feeder, through its mixing mechanism, uses an auger blade that rotates within the feeder's feed hopper and feed outlet to agitate the feed. This allows the feed entering the feed outlet to continue moving upwards with the auger blades as the bottom of the feed outlet closes, thus completing the mixing process. This eliminates the need for pre-mixing by staff, reducing pre-operation steps during feed feeding and making it easier for staff to use.

[0015] Meanwhile, the triangular connecting piece increases the structural strength of the auger blades while minimizing its own area, preventing blockage of the falling feed when the bottom of the feeder's discharge port is open or closed.

[0016] Furthermore, after the bottom of the feeder's discharge port opens and closes, the rotation of the auger blades will mix the feed and clear the feed in the feeder's discharge port at the same time, so that the feed will not block the feeder's discharge port during the falling process.

[0017] 2. This automatic mixing and feeding machine, through its set drive mechanism, allows the operator to simply start the drive motor to rotate multiple triangular connecting plates via the auger blades. The operation is simple and convenient for the operator. At the same time, during the use of this device, the sleeve is fitted on the outside of the structure to protect the first and second bevel gears, so that the meshing between the first and second bevel gears will not be affected by feed intrusion.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Combination Figures 1 to 5 An automatic mixing and feeding machine includes a feeding hopper 3, a feeding outlet 31 fixedly connected to the bottom of the feeding hopper 3, a mixing mechanism 1 inside the feeding hopper 3, and a driving mechanism 2 at the bottom of the mixing mechanism 1.

[0030] The mixing mechanism 1 includes a mixing component 11, a first support component 12 and a second support component 13. The mixing component 11 is disposed inside the feed hopper 3 of the feeder, the first support component 12 is disposed on the top of the mixing component 11, and the second support component 13 is disposed on the bottom of the mixing component 11.

[0031] The mixing assembly 11 includes a rotating rod 1101, which is disposed inside the feed hopper 3 of the feeder. An auger blade 1102 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the rotating rod 1101. Triangular connecting pieces 1103 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the auger blade 1102, and are fixedly connected to the outer ring of the rotating rod 1101. The auger blade 1102 is sleeved on the inner ring of the feeder discharge port 31. The support assembly 12 includes a connecting drum 1201, which is rotatably connected to the top of the outer ring of the rotating rod 1101. A fixing plate 1202 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the cylinder 1201. The fixing plate 1202 is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the feed hopper 3 of the feeder. Reinforcing fins 1203 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the rotating cylinder 1201. The reinforcing fins 1203 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 1202. The second support component 13 includes a rotating ring 1301. The rotating ring 1301 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the outer ring of the rotating rod 1101. A fixing rod 1302 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the rotating ring 1301. The fixing rod 1302 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the feed outlet 31 of the feeder.

[0032] Furthermore, the triangular connecting piece 1103 increases the structural strength of the auger blade 1102 while minimizing its own area, preventing the feed from being blocked when the bottom of the feeder's discharge port 31 is open or closed. Moreover, after the bottom of the feeder's discharge port 31 is open or closed, the rotation of the auger blade 1102 will mix the feed and clear the feed in the feeder's discharge port 31, so that the feed will not be blocked in the feeder's discharge port 31 during the falling process.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the drive mechanism 2 includes a drive component 21 and a protective component 22. The drive component 21 is located at the bottom front side of the feed inlet 31 of the feeder, and the protective component 22 is located outside the drive component 21.

[0035] Drive assembly 21 includes drive motor 2101, which is fixedly connected to the front side of feed inlet 31 of feeder. A rotating shaft 2102 is fixedly connected to the rear side of drive motor 2101. A bevel gear 2103 is fixedly connected to the rear side of rotating shaft 2102. A bevel gear 2104 meshes with the top of the outer ring of bevel gear 2103. Bevel gear 2104 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer ring of rotating rod 1101. Protective assembly 22 includes housing 2201, which is sleeved on rotating shaft 2102, bevel gear 2103 and bevel gear 2104. On the outside of gear 2104, sleeve 2201 is fixedly connected to the front side of the feed inlet 31 of the feeder. Sleeve 2201 is rotatably connected to the outer ring of rotating rod 1101 located above bevel gear 2104. Fixing plates 2202 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides inside sleeve 2201. A stabilizing rotating cylinder 2203 is fixedly connected inside fixing plates 2202. The stabilizing rotating cylinder 2203 is rotatably connected to the outer ring of rotating shaft 2102. A retaining shaft 2204 is fixedly connected to the bottom inside sleeve 2201. The retaining shaft 2204 is rotatably connected to the bottom of rotating rod 1101.

[0036] Furthermore, the operator only needs to start the drive motor 2101 to drive the multiple triangular connecting pieces 1103 to rotate through the auger blades 1102. The operation is simple and convenient for the operator. At the same time, during the use of the device, the sleeve 2201 is sleeved on the outside of the structure to protect the first bevel gear 2103 and the second bevel gear 2104, so that the meshing between the first bevel gear 2103 and the second bevel gear 2104 will not be affected by the intrusion of feed.

[0037] In actual operation, when this device is used, the operator first closes the bottom opening of the feeder's discharge port 31, and then pours various feeds directly into the feeder's feed hopper 3. Then, the drive motor 2101 is started. The drive motor 2101 drives the bevel gear 1 2103 to rotate through the rotating shaft 2102. The rotation of the bevel gear 1 2103 drives the rotating rod 1101 to rotate through the bevel gear 2 2104. The rotation of the rotating rod 1101 drives the auger blade 1102 to rotate. The auger blade 1102 drives the feed in the feeder's feed hopper 3 and the feeder's discharge port 31 to tumble and mix from bottom to top until the feed in the feeder's feed hopper 3 and the feeder's discharge port 31 are evenly mixed. Then, the bottom of the feeder's discharge port 31 is opened and closed. At this time, the triangular connecting piece 1103 continues to rotate to clear the feed in the feeder's discharge port 31. At this time, the feed feeding process is completed.
