Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of feed mixing devices, and more specifically, to a mixing and stirring device for processing cattle feed. Background Technology
[0002] In modern animal husbandry, the quality of cattle feed directly affects the growth and development of cattle, milk production and meat quality. In order to ensure that cattle receive comprehensive and balanced nutrition, cattle feed is usually made up of a variety of raw materials, such as grains, soybean meal, vitamins, mineral additives, etc. Therefore, the feed mixing and stirring process is crucial in the cattle feed processing.
[0003] Utility model patent CN221999505U discloses a yak feed processing and mixing device, including a tank. The tank has a feeding port at the top and a discharge port at the bottom of the outer side of the tank. A solenoid valve is installed on the discharge port. A spraying mechanism is installed on the tank, and a stirring mechanism is installed inside the tank. This utility model's yak feed processing and mixing device allows the yak feed to be mixed to be placed into the tank through the feeding port. The stirring mechanism, with its ribbon agitator and stirring rod rotating in opposite directions, quickly and thoroughly mixes the yak feed, improving mixing efficiency. The spraying mechanism facilitates cleaning of the inner wall of the tank, and the ribbon agitator can also scrape off feed adhering to the inner wall of the tank, preventing bacterial growth.
[0004] While this technical solution offers advantages such as thorough mixing, most mixing and stirring devices used in cattle feed processing also have some shortcomings. For example, most mixing and stirring devices typically have a corresponding discharge pipe installed at the bottom, along with a discharge valve for unloading. Furthermore, most mixing and stirring devices are generally closed structures, making sampling during the preparation process difficult. If a tool is inserted directly from the top of the mixing and stirring device for sampling, it is prone to collision with the stirring blades, posing a certain danger. If the discharge valve is opened directly from the discharge pipe for sampling, the valve's size and opening are generally large, and the reaction speed during opening and closing is relatively slow. The size of the valve core opening is difficult to control manually, and once opened, a large amount of raw material can easily fall out, leading to waste and inconvenience for small-scale sampling operations. Therefore, we propose a mixing and stirring device for cattle feed processing. Utility Model Content

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.
[0034] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a mixing and stirring device for cattle feed processing, including a mixing drum 1, a stirrer 2 for mixing and stirring inside the mixing drum 1, a conical cylinder 10 fixedly installed at the bottom of the mixing drum 1, a discharge pipe 11 fixedly installed at the bottom end of the conical cylinder 10, a discharge valve 12 fixedly installed on the discharge pipe 11, a sampling component 3 for sampling at the discharge pipe 11, the sampling component 3 including a discharge pipe 30 fixedly installed on the discharge pipe 11, a sample overflow pipe 31 fixedly installed on the bottom tube of the discharge pipe 30, a threaded cylinder 32 fixedly installed at the end of the discharge pipe 30, and a stud 33 threadedly connected to the threaded cylinder 32. A connecting rod 34 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the stud 33. A piston 35 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting rod 34, extending into the discharge pipe 30 and slidingly connected to it. The piston 35 moves to the left and right sides of the discharge pipe 30 for sealing and discharging operations, respectively. A knob 36 is fixedly installed at the front end of the stud 33. When the knob 36 is turned, the stud 33 rotates and moves within the threaded cylinder 32, causing the piston 35 to slide within the discharge pipe 30. This allows the piston 35 to move to different positions to achieve sealing and discharging operations. This facilitates obtaining feed samples at any time during unloading and preparation, enabling operators to promptly test the feed mixing quality and ensure the stability of feed quality.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple support legs 13 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the mixing drum 1, and a support base 131 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the support legs 13, so that the mixing device forms a stable support structure with the ground, which enhances the stability of the device during operation, avoids the device shaking or displacement due to vibration during the mixing process, and achieves the effect of ensuring safe operation of the equipment and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0036] like Figure 1As shown, an electric heater 14 is fixedly installed on the body of the mixing drum 1. The electric heater 14 is a temperature-controlled electric heater. A top cover 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the mixing drum 1, which can heat the feed inside the drum according to the feed processing requirements. At the same time, the top cover 15 effectively prevents external dust and debris from entering the mixing drum 1, making the feed processing process more hygienic, improving feed quality, and reducing the contamination of feed by external factors.
[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, both the mixing drum 1 and the conical drum 10 have an anti-sticking layer 18 on their inner walls. The thickness of the anti-sticking layer 18 is between 0.3cm and 0.6cm. The anti-sticking layer 18 can be made of anti-sticking coating, which reduces the adhesion between the feed and the drum wall, allowing the feed to flow smoothly during mixing and unloading, reducing feed residue, reducing the difficulty of equipment cleaning, and achieving the effect of improving unloading efficiency and saving cleaning time and labor costs.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, a raw material pipe 16 is fixedly installed on the top cover 15. The raw material pipe 16 is connected to the discharge end of an external screw feeder, and raw materials can be added using the raw material pipe 16.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, an exhaust pipe 17 is fixedly installed on the top cover 15, and a butterfly valve 171 is fixedly installed on the exhaust pipe 17. During the mixing process, the butterfly valve 171 can be opened to exhaust air according to the air pressure inside the cylinder, so as to prevent the mixing process from being affected by excessive air pressure inside the cylinder or to cause safety hazards, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the equipment and ensuring the smooth progress of feed processing.
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the mixer 2 includes a mixing motor 20 fixedly installed at the center of the top surface of the top cover 15. A mixing shaft 21 is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the mixing motor 20. A mixing blade 22 is fixedly installed on the mixing shaft 21. The mixing blade 22 is located inside the mixing drum 1. The mixing motor 20 drives the mixing shaft 21 and the mixing blade 22 to rotate, so as to fully stir and mix the feed raw materials in the drum, so that the various raw materials are evenly distributed, thereby improving the quality of feed mixing and meeting the requirements of animal husbandry for feed quality.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the electric heater 14 and stirring motor 20 involved in this utility model are all general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. In the spare parts of this device, all the above-mentioned electrical components, which refer to power elements, electrical components and the matching controller and power supply, are connected by wires. The specific connection method should refer to the working principle of this utility model. The electrical connection between each electrical component is completed in the order of operation. The detailed connection method is a technology known in the art.
[0042] When the mixing and stirring device for cattle feed processing of this utility model is in use, various raw materials are transported to the mixing and stirring drum 1 through the raw material pipe 16. After the raw materials are added, the stirring motor 20 is started. The stirring motor 20 drives the stirring shaft 21 and the stirring blades 22 to rotate in the mixing and stirring drum 1 to fully mix the feed raw materials.
[0043] If the air pressure inside the cylinder rises during the mixing process, the butterfly valve 171 on the exhaust pipe 17 can be opened to exhaust the air, ensuring a smooth mixing process. At the same time, depending on the characteristics of the feed, the electric heater 14 can be activated to heat the feed inside the cylinder and improve the feed condition. After the mixing is completed, the discharge valve 12 is opened, and the mixed feed is collected through the conical cylinder 10 to the discharge pipe 11 and discharged outward.
[0044] If it is necessary to sample and test the feed, turn the knob 36 to drive the stud 33 to rotate and move inside the threaded cylinder 32, causing the piston 35 to slide. After the piston 35 slides to the rear side of the sample overflow tube 31, the sample overflow tube 31, the discharge tube 30 and the unloading tube 11 are connected. The raw material in the unloading tube 11 can be discharged outward along the sample overflow tube 31 to complete the sampling operation. After the sampling is completed, turn the knob 36 in the opposite direction to drive the piston 35 to slide to the front side of the sample overflow tube 31 to continue the sealing operation.
[0045] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
