Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of feed maturation, and in particular to a feed maturation machine. Background Technology
[0002] A feed maturation machine is a specialized machine that uses physical and chemical processes to mature feed ingredients. Its main purpose is to improve feed quality. Through maturation, starch in the feed is gelatinized and proteins are denatured, increasing the feed's digestibility and absorption rate. Simultaneously, it kills harmful microorganisms and insect eggs in the feed, ensuring its safety and hygiene. It also enhances palatability and promotes animal consumption.
[0003] When different types of feed are poured into the feed hopper of the feed maturation machine, the different types of feed have different physical properties. Some feed particles are large and hard, while others are small and loose. In addition, the denser feed will settle quickly. These differences lead to insufficient mixing of the feed inside the maturation machine. The degree to which the feed absorbs heat and moisture during the maturation process will also vary, resulting in inconsistent quality of the maturated feed. This affects the overall nutritional value and palatability of the maturated feed, and has a certain impact on the breeding effect of livestock.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that feed maturation machines suffer from insufficient mixing of different feeds when they are added. Therefore, a feed maturation machine has been proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to solve the problem of insufficient mixing of feed when different feeds are poured into the feed maturation machine, this application provides a feed maturation machine.
[0006] The feed maturation machine provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A feed maturation machine includes feed maturation equipment. A feed hopper is located on one side of the top of the feed maturation equipment. A discharge hopper is fixedly installed on the bottom of the outer surface of the feed hopper. A mixing hopper is movably installed inside the feed hopper. A discharge pipe is integrally formed at the bottom end of the mixing hopper. Several material distribution baffles are fixedly installed at the middle of the bottom end of the inner wall of the mixing hopper. A driven pulley is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the discharge pipe. A driving pulley is rotatably arranged on one side of the outer surface of the feed hopper. A connecting belt is fitted on the outer surface of both the driven pulley and the driving pulley. A drive motor is installed at the middle of the bottom end of the driving pulley on the outer surface of the feed hopper. A conveying mechanism is also provided on the outer surface of the feed maturation equipment for conveying feed into the feed hopper.
[0008] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes several conveying racks, which are placed on the outer surface of the feed hopper. A conveyor belt is movably arranged inside the conveying rack, and feeding baffles are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the outer surface of the conveyor belt.
[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the feed hopper is symmetrically provided with fixing grooves on the upper and lower sides, and a limiting protrusion is welded to the outer surface of the mixing hopper at the position corresponding to the fixing groove.

[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0020] This application discloses a feed maturation machine. (Refer to...) Figure 1-3 A feed maturation machine includes a feed maturation device 1. A feed hopper 2 is located on one side of the top of the feed maturation device 1. A discharge hopper 3 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the outer surface of the feed hopper 2. A mixing hopper 4 is movably installed inside the feed hopper 2. A discharge pipe 5 is integrally formed at the bottom end of the mixing hopper 4. Several distribution baffles 6 are fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom end of the inner wall of the mixing hopper 4. One side of the bottom end of the inner wall of the mixing hopper 4 has an inclined surface structure. The cross-section of the distribution baffles 6 is S-shaped. One side of the distribution baffles 6 is near the opening above the discharge pipe 5. A driven pulley 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface. A driving pulley 8 is rotatably installed on one side of the outer surface of the feed hopper 2. A connecting belt 9 is fitted on the outer surface of both the driven pulley 7 and the driving pulley 8. A through hole is opened on one side of the inner wall of the feed hopper 2 near the driving pulley 8. One side of the outer surface of the connecting belt 9 is located inside the through hole. The connecting belt 9 and the through hole are compatible with each other. A drive motor 10 is installed on the outer surface of the feed hopper 2 at the middle of the bottom end of the driving pulley 8. A conveying mechanism is also provided on the outer surface of the feed maturation equipment 1 for conveying and pouring feed into the feed hopper 2.
[0021] By pouring different types of feed into the mixing hopper 4 inside the feeding hopper 2, the drive motor 10 is started. The output shaft of the drive motor 10 drives the drive pulley 8 to rotate, and the drive pulley 8 drives the driven pulley 7 to rotate through the connecting belt 9. The driven pulley 7 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 5, thereby causing the mixing hopper 4 to rotate inside the feeding hopper 2. During the rotation of the mixing hopper 4, the distribution baffle 6 at the bottom center of its inner wall stirs and disperses the feed entering the feeding hopper 2. Because the distribution baffle 6 has an S-shaped cross-section, it can more fully change the movement trajectory of the feed during rotation, promoting the mixing between different types of feed. The mixed feed enters the feed maturation equipment 1 through the discharge pipe 5 for maturation treatment.
[0022] Reference Figure 1 The conveying mechanism includes several material conveying frames 13, which are placed on the outer surface of the feed hopper 2. A conveyor belt 14 is movably arranged inside the material conveying frame 13, and feeding baffles 15 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 14.
[0023] By starting the drive motor in the conveying mechanism, the drive motor drives the conveyor belt 14 in the conveying frame 13 to rotate, and the feeding baffle 15 conveys the feed from the outside to the feeding hopper 2 as the conveyor belt 14 rotates.
[0024] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The inner wall of the feed hopper 2 is symmetrically provided with fixing grooves 11. The outer surface of the mixing hopper 4 is welded with a limiting protrusion 12 at the position corresponding to the fixing groove 11. One side of the limiting protrusion 12 extends into the interior of the fixing groove 11. The fixing groove 11 and the limiting protrusion 12 are interlocked. The rotating mixing hopper 4 drives the limiting protrusion 12 to move along the interior of the fixing groove 11. The interlocking structure of the fixing groove 11 and the limiting protrusion 12 ensures the stability of the mixing hopper 4 installed in the feed hopper 2 and the smoothness of its rotation.
[0025] The implementation principle of a feed maturation machine according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When using the feed maturation machine, the drive motor in the conveying mechanism is first started, so that the drive motor drives the conveyor belt 14 in the conveying frame 13 to rotate, and the feeding baffle 15 conveys the feed from the outside to the feeding hopper 2 as the conveyor belt 14 rotates.
[0026] Next, start the drive motor 10. The input terminal of the power supply of the drive motor 10 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the external power supply. The output shaft of the drive motor 10 drives the active pulley 8 to rotate. The active pulley 8 drives the driven pulley 7 to rotate through the connecting belt 9. The driven pulley 7 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 5, thereby causing the mixing hopper 4 to rotate in the feed hopper 2.
[0027] During the rotation of the mixing hopper 4, the distribution baffle 6 at the bottom center of its inner wall stirs and disperses the feed entering the feed hopper 2. Because the distribution baffle 6 has an S-shaped cross-section, it can more effectively change the movement trajectory of the feed during rotation, promoting mixing between different types of feed. Simultaneously, the inclined surface structure on one side of the bottom of the inner wall of the mixing hopper 4 allows the feed to flow towards the discharge pipe 5 during rotation.
[0028] The mixed feed enters the feed maturation equipment 1 through the discharge pipe 5 for maturation. After maturation, the feed is discharged from the discharge hopper 3. Throughout the process, the fitting structure of the fixed groove 11 and the limiting protrusion 12 ensures the stability of the mixing hopper 4 installed in the feeding hopper 2 and the smoothness of its rotation. The matching structure of the connecting belt 9 and the through hole ensures the stability of the transmission, thereby ensuring that the feed maturation machine can operate efficiently and stably, achieving full mixing and maturation of the feed.
