Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insect feeding technology, specifically an insect feed mixing and feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern ecological aquaculture, insect farming, represented by black soldier flies, has attracted much attention due to its high efficiency and environmental friendliness. The rational feeding of insect feed directly affects the farming efficiency and economic benefits, and the feed mixing and feeding device, as a key piece of equipment, determines the stability of feed supply and the sustainability of farming.

[0003] Currently, although insect feed feeding devices on the market have achieved a certain degree of automation, there are still shortcomings: According to the search, the horizontal black soldier fly feeding device disclosed in CN 222737026 U simplifies the operation process through the integrated mixing and feeding design, realizes automatic mixing and conveying of feed, and reduces labor costs.

[0004] However, the device has revealed obvious defects in practical applications: when discharging mixed feed from the discharge port at the bottom of the mixing chamber, the feed may contain fiber, lumps and other components, which can easily cause blockage. The blockage problem is more serious when the mixed feed has uneven moisture, high viscosity, or clumps due to fermentation. Once the discharge port is blocked, it will lead to discontinuous feeding, resulting in uneven growth and development of insects and reducing breeding efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, developing a new type of insect feed mixing and feeding device that can effectively avoid clogging of the feed outlet and ensure smooth feed delivery has become an urgent need to promote the development of the insect farming industry. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an insect feed mixing and feeding device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An insect feed mixing and feeding device includes a mixing chamber, a feed hopper on the top surface of the mixing chamber, and multiple discharge pipes evenly spaced on the bottom surface. Two electric moving seats are symmetrically fixed at both ends of the mixing chamber, connected by a connecting rod. One of the electric moving seats is equipped with a protective cover. A stirring shaft is rotatably mounted inside the mixing chamber, driven by a motor located inside the protective cover, and equipped with spiral blades. The discharge pipes have an open structure on one side. A rotating shaft is also rotatably mounted between the two electric moving seats. A sleeve is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft corresponding to the position of the discharge pipe. Multiple levers are arrayed on the outer wall of the sleeve, and the levers are rotatably mounted inside the discharge pipe.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the rotating shaft is connected to the stirring shaft via a first pulley transmission group.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a guide trough is also provided in the mixing chamber corresponding to the positions of multiple discharge pipes, and the guide trough is in the shape of a frustum.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the outer wall of the mixing chamber is also provided with an array of support plates, and the rotating shaft passes through and is rotatably mounted on the multiple support plates.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a pair of crushing rollers are rotatably installed inside the feed hopper, and the two crushing rollers are connected by a gear set for transmission.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this invention: one of the crushing rollers is connected to the stirring shaft via a second belt drive assembly.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention utilizes a stirring shaft driven by spiral blades within the mixing chamber to achieve axial propulsion and radial mixing of feed, ensuring uniform feed composition. The multi-discharge pipe design enables simultaneous feeding at multiple points, effectively improving the uniformity of feeding coverage. An electric moving seat drive moves along a track, enabling automated, cyclical feeding and reducing labor costs. A protective cover seals and protects core power components such as the motor, preventing feed dust intrusion and extending equipment lifespan. One side of the discharge pipe is open, complementing a feeding mechanism composed of a deflector plate, sleeve, and rotating shaft. Driven by the rotating shaft, the deflector plate continuously rotates, forcibly breaking up and discharging clumps or viscous materials from the discharge pipe, solving the problem of discharge port blockage in traditional devices. This ensures the continuity and stability of feed feeding, comprehensively improving the feed supply efficiency and quality in insect farming. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figure 1-7 The insect feed mixing and feeding device includes a mixing chamber 1. A feed hopper 2 is installed on the top surface of the mixing chamber 1, and multiple discharge pipes 3 are installed at equal intervals on the bottom surface. The mixing chamber 1 provides a feed mixing space, and the multiple discharge pipes 3 are designed to achieve multi-point synchronous feeding, improving coverage uniformity. Electric moving seats 4 are symmetrically fixed at both ends of the mixing chamber 1, and the two electric moving seats 4 are connected by a connecting rod. The electric moving seat 4 is driven by a track in the breeding area to achieve automated cyclic feeding. A protective cover 5 is installed on one of the electric moving seats 4, which seals and protects the core power components to prevent feed dust from entering. A stirring shaft 6 is rotatably installed inside the mixing chamber 1, and the stirring shaft 6 is driven by a motor (shown in the figure) installed inside the protective cover 5. (Not shown) Driven by a stirring shaft 6, a spiral blade 7 is installed on the stirring shaft 6. During rotation, the spiral blade 7 realizes axial propulsion and radial mixing of the feed, ensuring uniform composition. The discharge pipe 3 has an open structure on one side. The open design facilitates the intervention of the feeding mechanism to specifically solve the blockage problem. A rotating shaft 8 is also rotatably arranged between the two electric moving seats 4. A sleeve 9 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 8 at the position corresponding to the discharge pipe 3. Multiple paddles 10 are arrayed on the outer wall of the sleeve 9. The paddles 10 are rotatably installed inside the discharge pipe 3. The paddles 10 rotate continuously under the drive of the rotating shaft 8, forcibly breaking up and paddle out the fiber clumps or viscous materials in the discharge pipe 3, solving the blockage risk mentioned in the background art and ensuring feeding continuity.

[0027] Preferably, the rotating shaft 8 is connected to the stirring shaft 6 via the first pulley transmission group 11, wherein the first pulley transmission group 11 diverts the stirring power to the baffle plate 10, realizing the linkage between stirring and anti-clogging, without the need for an additional power source.

[0028] In addition, a guide chute 12 is provided in the mixing chamber 1 at the corresponding positions of multiple discharge pipes 3. The guide chute 12 is truncated pyramidal in shape. The truncated pyramidal guide chute 12 guides the feed to flow to the discharge pipe 3 in a concentrated manner, so as to avoid residue at the bottom of the chamber.

[0029] In addition, multiple support plates 13 are fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the mixing chamber 1. The rotating shaft 8 passes through and is rotatably installed on the multiple support plates 13. The support plates 13 provide multi-point support for the rotating shaft 8, enhance its rotational stability, and prevent deformation during material feeding.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1, specifically as follows:

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 Inside the feed hopper 2, a pair of crushing rollers 14 are also rotatably installed. The two crushing rollers 14 are connected by a gear set 15. The crushing rollers 14 pre-cut the raw materials, break up large impurities, improve the mixing uniformity, and reduce the causes of blockage.

[0033] Preferably, one of the crushing rollers 14 is connected to the stirring shaft 6 via a second pulley drive group 16. The second pulley drive group 16 extends the stirring power to the crushing roller 14, realizing a single motor-driven crushing, mixing, and anti-clogging process, which greatly reduces energy consumption.

[0034] It should be noted that both the first pulley drive group 11 and the second pulley drive group 16 are speed-increasing transmissions to increase the rotational speed of the paddle plate 10 and the crushing roller 14, thereby ensuring continuous material output and crushing efficiency.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] Feed ingredients are fed into the feed hopper 2, and the motor drives the stirring shaft 6 to rotate. On one hand, the spiral blades 7 mix the feed in the mixing chamber 1, and on the other hand, the second belt drive group 16 drives the crushing roller 14 to pre-crush the raw materials. After mixing, the electric moving seat 4 moves the device along the breeding area. At this time, the stirring shaft 6 drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate through the first belt drive group 11, and the baffle plate 10 on the sleeve 9 rotates continuously in the discharge pipe 3. The frustum-shaped guide trough 12 guides the feed into the discharge pipe 3. The baffle plate 10 forcibly breaks up fiber clumps or viscous lumps during the material's fall, ensuring smooth feed discharge. The feed is evenly spread to the breeding area through the side of the open discharge pipe 3, realizing fully automatic anti-blockage feeding and completely solving the problem of feeding interruption caused by blockage in traditional devices.

[0037] In this embodiment, the control system, electromagnetic switch, and pipeline circuit supporting the motor all adopt mature commercially available products, which can be directly supplied by the manufacturer without additional design and research. In addition, the electric moving seat 4 has a standardized structure driven by existing electric energy, and its working principle and internal structure are all well-known technologies in the field. Technicians can achieve its installation and debugging based on the existing technology, so it will not be elaborated here. The innovation of this utility model focuses on the overall structural design and function integration, and does not involve the improvement of the internal structure and control method of the above components.

[0038] It should be understood that although this specification is described according to embodiments, not every embodiment only contains an independent technical solution. This narrative way of the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
