Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock feed storage devices, and in particular to a moisture-proof feed storage device for beef cattle breeding. Background Technology
[0002] Feed is a fundamental resource for livestock farming, and its safe storage is crucial. In beef cattle farming, feed is highly susceptible to absorbing moisture and becoming damp in rainy and humid environments, which can lead to mold growth, rendering the feed unusable and causing serious waste and economic losses.
[0003] To ensure long-term feed storage, current technologies typically employ storage containers and periodically perform internal drying and moisture-proofing treatments. However, current conventional drying methods, such as top ventilation or simple heating, have significant limitations. Their effectiveness is often limited to the upper space and surface feed within the container, failing to effectively reach and treat the feed in the middle and lower layers, especially the bottom layer. This results in the bottom feed remaining in a damp environment for extended periods, with moisture unable to dissipate effectively, leading to a persistently high risk of mold growth. Mold growth in the bottom feed not only directly results in the waste of that portion of feed but can also contaminate surrounding feed, exacerbating waste and posing a continuous threat to feed security and economic efficiency in beef cattle farming.
[0004] Therefore, given the characteristics of feed storage in beef cattle farming, especially the problem of moisture prevention and drying of the bottom feed, it is particularly necessary to develop a special feed storage device that can achieve uniform and effective moisture prevention. Utility Model Content
[0005] The present invention aims to provide a moisture-proof device for storing feed for beef cattle farming, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A moisture-proof feed storage device for beef cattle farming includes a tank and a connecting rod. The tank is threadedly connected to a top cover. An inner frame is slidably connected to the inner wall of the tank. A motor is connected to the top cover. A disc is connected to the output end of the motor. A rotating shaft is connected to the disc. A lifting ring is connected to the connecting rod. The rotating shaft is slidably connected to the inner wall of the lifting ring. The connecting rod passes through the top cover and is slidably connected to the top cover. Several connecting plates are connected to the connecting rod. Flipping plates are rotatably connected to both sides of the connecting plates. Several second springs are connected to the flipping plates and the connecting plates. The inner frame has an inlet and an outlet and a closed structure. The tank has a lifting groove.
[0008] Preferably, the closed structure includes a locking plate, the inner frame has a sliding groove, the locking plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove, the locking plate has two material passage holes, the inner frame has a locking groove, the locking plate is connected to a locking block, the inner frame is connected to several support plates, and the support plates are rotatably connected to a locking rod.
[0009] Preferably, the inner frame is connected to inclined hoppers below the feed inlet and the lifting trough, and the two hoppers are slidably connected to the side wall of the lifting trough.
[0010] Preferably, the tank body and the inner frame are connected together by a first spring.
[0011] Preferably, the tank body is provided with a glass observation port, the tank body is provided with a scale, and the inner frame is provided with a ruler.
[0012] Preferably, the inner frame is connected to a filter screen, and the outer frame of the filter screen is slidably connected to the inner wall of the tank.
[0013] Preferably, the connecting rod is connected to a conical portion, and the connecting plate is connected to an insert portion.
[0014] Preferably, a desiccant is placed inside the canister.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this technical solution compared to existing technologies are as follows:
[0016] (1) This device drives the disc and rotating shaft by a motor, which in turn drives the connecting rod and lifting ring to reciprocate in the vertical direction. The connecting plate on the connecting rod and the flipping plates on both sides connected by the second spring move up and down accordingly and can rotate under the resistance of the feed. This compound motion can effectively penetrate deep into the feed, especially the bottom layer, to turn, loosen and stir it. This breaks the static state of the feed, prevents clumping, and significantly improves the air permeability inside the feed, especially the middle and lower layers and the bottom layer, making it easier for moisture to dissipate. At the same time, it promotes the effect of the desiccant to cover the entire pile, thereby solving the core problem of bottom feed getting damp and moldy in the prior art and greatly reducing feed waste.
[0017] (2) By sliding the locking plate to align or offset the material passage hole on it with the inlet and outlet of the inner frame, the channel can be quickly opened and closed. The cooperation between the locking block and the locking rod can easily lock the position after the locking plate slides into place, preventing accidental opening or closing, and ensuring the sealing during storage and the reliability of material handling operations. The entire structure is simple and intuitive to operate, improving the convenience of use.
[0018] (3) The inclined hopper set below the feed inlet and the lifting trough plays a guiding role during feeding, so that the feed can enter the inner frame more smoothly and reduce dust and spillage;
[0019] (4) The first spring connecting the tank body and the inner frame provides effective buffering and restoring force when the inner frame moves up and down with the connecting rod or is subjected to external vibration and impact. This not only reduces the impact noise during the movement and protects the structure of the device, but more importantly, it prevents the feed in the inner frame from being excessively compacted due to violent vibration or impact. Keeping the feed loose is conducive to internal air circulation and moisture dissipation, which indirectly enhances the moisture-proof effect.
[0020] (5) The glass observation port, together with the scale on the tank body and the ruler on the inner frame, constitutes an intuitive feed inventory monitoring system. Users can directly see the feed condition inside through the observation port without opening the lid. At the same time, by observing the position change of the ruler relative to the scale, the user can roughly judge the height of the inner frame and thus estimate the remaining feed. This greatly facilitates inventory management, avoids frequent opening of the lid for inspection which could lead to moisture intrusion, and also helps to replenish or handle feed in a timely manner.
[0021] (6) The filter screen connected to the inner frame has its outer frame slidably connected to the inner wall of the tank. The filter screen can prevent feed from entering the bottom of the tank or interfering with the movement of the inner frame.
[0022] (7) The conical part at the bottom of the connecting rod and the piercing part on the connecting plate form a sharp entry point. When the connecting rod moves downward and inserts into the feed pile, the conical part can more easily penetrate into the bottom layer, while the piercing part can effectively pierce and break up the clumps of feed formed in a humid environment. This not only enhances the turning and loosening effect, but also exposes a larger surface area after the clumps are broken up, which is more conducive to the dissipation and drying of internal moisture, significantly improving the ability to salvage and process slightly clumped feed.
[0023] (8) Placing a desiccant inside the tank is an active moisture absorption and mildew prevention measure. Combined with the feed turning function unique to this device, the turning process promotes the flow of air inside the tank, making the exchange efficiency of the dry air released by the desiccant or the moisture adsorbed is higher, and it can act more evenly on each layer of feed, especially the deep feed exposed after turning, which greatly improves the utilization efficiency of the desiccant and the overall moisture-proof effect.

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 The illustrated feed storage moisture-proof device for beef cattle farming includes a tank 1 and a connecting rod 7, as shown. Figure 1 As shown, a top cover 2 is threadedly connected to the top of tank 1, and an inner frame 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of tank 1. A motor 3 is connected to the right side of the top cover 2, and a disc 4 is connected to the output end of the motor 3. A rotating shaft 6 is connected to the disc 4, and a lifting ring 5 is connected to the top of the connecting rod 7. The rotating shaft 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the lifting ring 5. The connecting rod 7 passes through the top cover 2 and is slidably connected to the top cover 2. When the motor 3 is working, it drives the disc 4 to rotate, causing the rotating shaft 6 to push the lifting ring 5 to move up and down, thereby driving the connecting rod 7 to reciprocate. Several connecting plates 24 are connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 7, and flipping plates 25 are rotatably connected to both sides of the connecting plates 24. The flipping plates 25 and the connecting rod 7 are connected to the lifting ring 5 to reciprocate. The plate 24 is connected to several second springs 26. When the connecting rod 7 moves up and down, the flipping plate 25 can flexibly flip the feed under the action of the second springs 26. When the flipping plate 25 is inserted into the feed downward, the feed provides resistance to the flipping plate 25, causing the two opposing flipping plates 25 to rotate around the axis of rotation to the side close to the connecting plate 24, increasing their tilt angle. When the connecting plate 24 moves upward, the upper side of the flipping plate 25 applies resistance to it, causing it to open in the opposite direction, thereby driving the feed at the bottom to move upward. The inner frame 13 is provided with a feed inlet 8 and a discharge outlet 10. The inner frame 13 is provided with a closed structure. The tank body 1 is provided with a lifting groove 12.
[0031] like Figure 4As shown, the closed structure includes a locking plate 15, an inner frame 13 with a sliding groove 29, the locking plate 15 and the inner wall of the sliding groove 29 are slidably connected, the length of the locking plate 15 is less than the inner space of the sliding groove 29, the locking plate 15 has two material passage holes 9, the inner frame 13 has a locking groove 16, the locking plate 15 is connected to a locking block 14, the locking block 14 and the inner wall of the locking groove 16 are slidably connected, and several support plates 18 are connected to the outer side of the inner frame 13, the support plates 18 are rotatably connected to a locking rod 17, the sliding locking plate 15 can make the material passage holes 9 aligned or staggered with the feed inlet 8 or the discharge outlet 10, so as to realize the flow and closure of feed, the rotating locking rod 17 can be inserted into the locking groove 16 to fix the locking block 14 and ensure the sealing effect.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the inner frame 13 is connected to the feed inlet 8 and the lifting trough 12 respectively with inclined hoppers 11. The two hoppers 11 are inclined in opposite directions. The hoppers 11 are slidably connected to the side wall of the lifting trough 12. After the feed enters from the feed inlet 8, it is guided to fall through the hoppers 11 to avoid accumulation and blockage.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the inner wall of the tank 1 and the bottom of the inner frame 13 are connected together by a first spring 23.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the tank 1 is provided with a glass observation port 20 and a scale 21. The inner frame 13 is provided with a ruler 22. The internal feed condition can be observed through the glass observation port 20. The ruler 22 and the scale 21 work together to understand the position of the inner frame 13 and the amount of feed.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a filter screen 19 is connected to the outer side of the inner frame 13. The outer frame of the filter screen 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the tank 1. The filter screen 19 can prevent feed from falling into the bottom of the tank 1 through the gaps, and moves with the inner frame 13.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the connecting rod 7 is connected to a conical part 27, and the connecting plate 24 is connected to a penetrating part 28. The conical part 27 facilitates the insertion of the connecting rod 7 into the feed, and the penetrating part 28 can break up clumps of feed, enhancing the turning effect. A desiccant is placed inside the tank 1 to absorb moisture inside the tank and keep the feed dry.
[0037] The specific implementation process is as follows:
[0038] In use, feed is fed into the inner frame 13 through the feed inlet 8. The feed is guided into the inner frame 13 by the inclined hopper 11 below the feed inlet 8. The motor 3 is started, driving the disc 4 to rotate. This causes the rotating shaft 6, fixed to the disc 4, to slide within the lifting ring 5, pushing the lifting ring 5 and the connecting rod 7 to reciprocate vertically along the guide hole of the top cover 2. The conical part 27 at the end of the connecting rod 7 first inserts into the feed pile, causing multiple connecting plates 24 and the hinged flipping plates 25 on both sides to move synchronously. When the connecting rod 7 is pressed down, the feed resistance forces the flipping plates 25 to retract inwards towards the connecting plates 24. At this time, the piercing part 28 at the end of the connecting plate 24 pierces the clump of feed. When the connecting rod 7 rises, the flipping plates 25 unfold outwards under the action of the second spring 26, turning the bottom feed upwards. This process breaks the static state of the feed and promotes air circulation inside the tank. Simultaneously, the desiccant at the bottom of the tank 1 continuously absorbs moisture, and the filter screen 19 prevents debris from falling into the bottom of the tank. The feed condition is visually observed through the glass observation port 20, and the inventory is estimated by referring to the corresponding positions of the scale 21 on the tank body 1 and the ruler 22 on the inner frame 13. When retrieving feed, the sliding locking plate 15 aligns the feed passage 9 with the discharge port 10, and the rotating locking rod 17 engages with the locking groove 16 to secure the locking block 14. The feed then slides out through the hopper 11 below the discharge port 10. When feed consumption causes the inner frame 13 to descend, the first spring 23 provides cushioning to prevent compaction, and the lifting groove 12 accommodates the displacement of the hopper 11. This device achieves full-layer moisture protection for the feed through periodic mechanical turning.
