[0002] Feed is a general term for the food consumed by livestock. It mainly includes various products such as soybeans, corn, and straw, which, after processing, become the primary raw materials for livestock. In livestock farming, only by correctly applying feeding standards and rationally utilizing feed resources to ensure that livestock obtain sufficient nutrients and by practicing scientific feeding can the role of feed be fully realized, feed utilization rate improved, and production costs reduced, while guaranteeing the health of livestock.

[0003] In the production of feed, it is often necessary to sample and test feed from feed fermentation tanks. However, the existing sampling devices have a single structure and function, making it inconvenient to separate feed samples from different fermentation tanks during sampling. In addition, most common sampling devices require manual sampling, which is difficult and inconvenient due to the height of feed fermentation tanks. Utility Model Content

One sampling cup 8 is detachably mounted on the bottom of the support 7, and the remaining sampling cups 8 are placed in the sample storage box 4.

[0038] The mobile trolley 1 includes a platform 11, multiple support legs 12, and multiple braked rollers 13. The support legs 12 are vertically connected to the bottom periphery of the platform 11, and the braked rollers 13 are installed at the bottom of the support legs 12. The handrail 5 includes an L-shaped connecting rod 51, and the outer end of the L-shaped connecting rod 51 is provided with a rubber sleeve 52. The outer periphery of the rubber sleeve 52 is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0039] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the placement and removal of the sampling cup 8, the sample storage box 4 is a cylindrical structure. Multiple storage compartments 41 are provided around the sample storage box 4, with the openings of the storage compartments 41 facing outwards. Each storage compartment 41 contains a sampling cup 8.

[0040] In this embodiment, the rotating assembly 2 includes a turntable 21 and a rotating motor 22. The rotating motor 22 is specifically a servo motor, offering high controllability and precision. The turntable 21 is rotatably mounted on the top surface of the mobile trolley 1, and the rotating motor 22 is installed inside the mobile trolley 1. The rotating motor 22 drives the turntable 21 to rotate horizontally. A flange 31 is provided at the bottom of the hollow column 3, and the flange 31 is fixedly connected to the turntable 21 by multiple bolts. The rotating assembly 2 designed above has a simple structure, stable operation, and can drive the hollow column 3 to rotate stably, while also being relatively easy to operate.

[0041] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 6 includes a lifting motor 61, a lifting screw 62, and a lifting connecting block 63. The lifting motor 61 is specifically a servo motor, which has high controllability and precision. The lifting screw 62 is arranged vertically and rotatably assembled inside the hollow column 3. The lifting motor 61 is installed on the top of the hollow column 3 and is used to drive the lifting screw 62 to rotate. The lifting screw 62 passes through the lifting connecting block 63 and the two are threadedly connected. The side wall of the hollow column 3 is provided with a lifting groove 32 for the vertical sliding of the lifting connecting block 63. The outer end of the lifting connecting block 63 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the bracket 7.

[0042] The lifting component 6 designed above has a simple structure, stable operation, and can drive the bracket 7 to rise and fall stably. It is also relatively easy to operate.

[0043] To facilitate adjustment of the original height of the fixing seat 73 according to different heights of feed fermentation tanks, the support 7 includes a horizontal bar 71, a vertical bar 72 and a fixing seat 73. The vertical bar 72 is vertically connected to the outer end of the horizontal bar 71, and the fixing seat 73 is fixedly assembled to the bottom of the vertical bar 72. The fixing seat 73 is provided with a latch 7321 for the sampling cup 8 to be engaged. An adjusting block 74 is provided on the outer end of the horizontal bar 71, and the vertical bar 72 is vertically slidably assembled on the adjusting block 74. The vertical bar 72 is fixed to the adjusting block 74 by a locking bolt 75.

[0044] Specifically, the fixing base 73 includes a fixing plate 731 and a magnetic ring 732. The fixing plate 731 and the magnetic ring 732 are fixedly connected.

A partition step 81 is provided on the outer periphery of the sampling cup 8. The partition step 81 is used to fit the upper surface of the magnetic ring 732.

[0045] The bracket 7 designed above has a simple structure, is easy to assemble and adjust, has a good fixing effect on the sampling cup 8, and is very convenient to install and remove the sampling cup 8.

[0046] The beneficial technical effects of the feed testing and sampling device in this application are roughly as follows:

[0047] The mobile trolley 1, together with the handrail 5, allows the sampling staff to easily push the device to switch sampling positions. When the sampling cup 8 at the bottom of the support 7 moves to the top of the feed fermentation tank, the lifting component 6 is activated, which will drive the sampling cup 8 to descend and then rise again. Then the rotating component 2 is activated to rotate the sampling cup 8 with the sample taken to the front of the staff, so that the staff can easily take out the sampling cup 8 with the sample taken and store it in the sample storage box 4. Then another empty sampling cup 8 is placed at the bottom of the support 7, thus completing the entire sampling and storage work.

[0048] The feed testing and sampling device of this application has a simple structure and stable operation. It can store different feed samples separately and can achieve automatic sampling to a certain extent. It is especially convenient and labor-saving for sampling operations for feed fermentation tanks with high heights.

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