Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed conveying technology, and in particular to a multifunctional receiving hopper with a motor. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in livestock farming conveying systems, the disc conveyor system consists of six parts: a drive unit, a receiving hopper (feed inlet), corners, a feed pipe, a disc, and a feeding system. The multi-functional receiving hopper in current conveying systems has the following problems:

[0003] 1. In traditional disc conveying systems, one conveying system can only handle one type of feed. If two or more types of feed are needed, two or more conveying systems are required, which makes the conveying system more complex and costly.

[0004] 2. In the conveying system, the higher the proportion of feed in the conveying pipe, the greater the load. Current receiving hoppers lack adjustment functions. This allows the proportion of feed in the conveying pipe to reach over 90% when it enters the system from the storage system, causing excessive load on the conveying system and limiting the conveying distance.

[0005] 3. In the conveying system, there are many types of feed to meet the needs of livestock farming, mainly including pelleted feed and powdered feed. Powdered feed is prone to clumping, which can cause: First, excessively large clumps can clog the storage system, preventing feed from falling into the receiving hopper and entering the storage system. Second, small clumps entering the conveying system have poor flowability, easily causing blockages in the pipes and leading to conveyor overload.

[0006] Therefore, we propose a multi-functional receiving hopper with a motor to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of excessive feed agglomeration causing blockage in the storage system and feed concentration exceeding 90% in the conveying pipe when the feed enters the conveying system from the storage system, resulting in excessive load on the conveying system and short conveying distance. Therefore, a multi-functional receiving hopper with a motor is proposed.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A multi-functional receiving hopper with a motor includes a polygonal material pipe with four corners, a stopper disc inside the material pipe, a drive unit and an auxiliary material box passing through the material pipe on the material pipe, and a discharge section on the material pipe. It also includes:

[0010] The main material box is fixedly installed on one side of the auxiliary material box. A receiving hopper is installed on the top of the main material box. A vibrating shaft is rotatably installed inside the main material box, and a vibrating plate is fixedly sleeved on the periphery of the vibrating shaft. A vibrating frame is installed on the vibrating plate, an auxiliary wheel is rotatably installed at the bottom of the vibrating frame, and a tension spring is connected between the vibrating plate and the inner wall of the main material box. A motor connecting plate is installed on one side of the main material box, and an auger shaft is rotatably installed on the motor connecting plate. One end of the auger shaft passes through the main material box and extends into the auxiliary material box, abutting against the auxiliary wheel. An auger plate is wound around the outer wall of the auger shaft, and a fixing clamp is provided at the end away from the auger plate. A rotating screen for material screening is installed circumferentially on the fixing clamp.

[0011] Furthermore, the auger shaft is circumferentially fixed to one side of the main material box with a sealing gasket and a transparent plate that is fitted and installed with the sealing gasket. The transparent plate is designed to facilitate observation of the material conveying situation inside the main material box.

[0012] Furthermore, a drive motor fixedly connected to the auger shaft and a reducer mounted on the drive motor are installed on one side of the motor connecting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the top of the main material box has a feeding opening and a rainproof plate installed on the periphery of the feeding opening, the rainproof plate preventing the material in the main material box from being wetted by rainwater.

[0014] Furthermore, a limiting plate with a notch of the same diameter as the auger blade is installed on the vibrating plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the top and sides of the auxiliary material box are respectively detachably equipped with a cover plate and a sealing plate, which are detachable to facilitate maintenance of the auxiliary material box.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. The vibrating frame, vibrating plate, and limiting plate in this solution can break up large clumps of feed through vibration, thus mitigating the impact of feed clumping in the receiving hopper area on the conveying system.

[0018] 2. This solution, through the rational design of the hinge plate driven by the motor and reduction system, ensures that the feed ratio entering the auxiliary feed box meets the requirements of the conveyor disc operation, thereby enabling the conveying system to operate under low load and increasing equipment life.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-5A multi-functional receiving hopper with a motor includes a polygonal material pipe 4 with four corners 3, a stopper plate 5 inside the material pipe 4, a drive unit 1 and an auxiliary material box 7 that are penetrated by the material pipe 4 on the material pipe 4, and a discharge part 6 on the material pipe 4. It also includes:

[0029] The main material box 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the auxiliary material box 7. A receiving hopper 2 is installed on the top of the main material box 8. A vibrating shaft 8021, a vibrating plate 802 fixedly sleeved on the periphery of the vibrating shaft 8021, a vibrating frame 8020, an auxiliary wheel 8023 rotatably installed at the bottom of the vibrating frame 8020, and a tension spring 8022 connecting the vibrating plate 802 and the inner wall of the main material box 8 are all installed on the vibrating plate 802. A motor connecting plate 8063 is installed on one side of the main material box 8. An auger shaft 8061 is rotatably installed on the motor connecting plate 8063. One end of the auger shaft 8061 passes through the main material box 8 and extends into the auxiliary material box 7, abutting against the auxiliary wheel 8023. A screw conveyor plate 8062 is spun around the outer wall of 061 and fixed to the screw conveyor shaft 8061. A fixing clamp 8064 is provided at the end away from the screw conveyor plate 8062. A rotating screen 8065 for material screening is installed circumferentially on the fixing clamp 8064. When the screw conveyor shaft 8061 rotates, it drives the screw conveyor plate 8062 to rotate. At the same time, the screw conveyor plate 8062 reciprocates to squeeze the auxiliary wheel 8023. The vibrating frame 8020 drives the vibrating plate 802 to swing around the vibrating shaft 8021 as the fulcrum. When the vibrating plate 802 swings, it will reciprocate to stretch the tension spring 8022. When the tension spring 8022 contracts, it can drive the vibrating plate 802 to rebound. The vibration breaks up large clumps of feed and alleviates the impact of feed clumps in the receiving hopper 2 area on the conveying system.

[0030] In this embodiment, the auger shaft 8061 is circumferentially fixed to one side of the main feed box 8, with a sealing gasket 804 and a transparent plate that is fitted to the sealing gasket 804. The transparent plate facilitates observation of the inside of the receiving hopper 2 and makes it easier to judge the feed condition or conveying status.

[0031] In this embodiment, a drive motor 806 fixedly connected to the auger shaft 8061 and a reducer 8060 mounted on the drive motor 806 are installed on one side of the connecting plate 8063.

[0032] In this embodiment, the top of the main material box 8 has a feeding opening and a rainproof plate 803 installed on the periphery of the feeding opening. The rainproof plate 803 prevents rainwater from entering the main material box 8.

[0033] In this embodiment, a limiting plate 801 with a notch of the same size as the auger plate 8062 is installed on the vibrating plate 802. When the vibrating plate 802 moves up and down, it will break up the clumps of material.

[0034] In this embodiment, the top and side of the auxiliary material box 7 are respectively detachably equipped with a cover plate 702 and a sealing plate 701.

[0035] The implementation principle of the multi-functional feed hopper 2 with a motor in this application embodiment is as follows: Each feed number can be connected to a storage system according to the needs of the livestock feed number. To feed a specific feed number, simply turn on the motor of the corresponding feed hopper 2 connected to the storage system. Several feed numbers only need to be connected to one conveying system, resulting in low operating costs. The material is poured into the main feed box 8 through the feed hopper. The reducer 8060 and drive motor 806 are started, driving the auger shaft 8061 to rotate. The auger shaft 8061 drives the auger blades 8062 to rotate, while the auger blades 8062 reciprocate and compress the auxiliary wheel 8023 through vibration. The moving frame 8020 drives the vibrating plate 802 to swing around the vibrating shaft 8021. When the vibrating plate 802 swings, it will reciprocate to stretch the tension spring 8022. When the tension spring 8022 contracts, it can drive the vibrating plate 802 to rebound. Vibration breaks up large clumps of feed, reducing the impact of feed clumps in the receiving hopper 2 area on the conveying system. When the material is conveyed to the rotating screen 8065 by the auger, the material is screened using the design of the rotating screen 8065. The screened material enters the auxiliary material box 7 and is conveyed to the discharge section 6 by the material pipe 4. This ensures that the amount of feed entering the auxiliary material box 7 meets the requirement that the proportion of feed in the pipe is less than 90%.

[0036] All structures in this application can be customized in terms of material and length according to actual usage. The attached drawings are schematic structural diagrams, and the actual dimensions can be adjusted accordingly.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this practice, but the scope of protection of this embodiment is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this embodiment, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of this embodiment, should be covered within the scope of protection of this embodiment.
