Detailed Implementation
[0023] 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.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 The screw conveyor type cattle feed metering device in this embodiment includes a base 1 and a feed box 2 fixed on the top of the base 1. The feed box 2 is provided with a feeding component 3 for metering.
[0025] The base 1 has a fixed platform with a prismatic structure on its top. The feed box 2 is nested on the top of the fixed platform. The base 1 has four support legs fixed at its bottom, and the bottom of the support legs is fixed with casters for movement and turning.
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, the feeding component 3 includes a feeding port 31 at the top of the feeding box 2, a discharge plate 32 fixed to the inner wall of the feeding box 2 below the feeding port 31, a servo motor 33 fixed to the side of the feeding box 2, a distributing rod 34 fixed to the output shaft of the servo motor 33 rotatably connected inside the feeding box 2, a drive motor 35 fixed to the top of the feeding box 2, a transmission box 36 connected to the drive motor 35 on the right side of the feeding box 2, a plurality of feeding rods 37 rotatably connected to the feeding box 2 on the left side of the transmission box 36, a discharge cylinder 38 fixed to the left side of the feeding box 2, a discharge motor 39 fixed to the side of the discharge cylinder 38, and a discharge rod 310 rotatably connected inside the discharge cylinder 38.
[0027] In this embodiment, the feed inlet 31 is located on the top left side of the feed box 2, ensuring that the material can smoothly enter the equipment. The discharge plate 32 adopts a triangular structure and is firmly fixed to the front and rear inner walls of the feed box 2. This design helps guide the material to slide along the discharge plate 32 to the right end of the feed box 2. The output shaft of the servo motor 33 extends through the side wall of the feed box 2 into the interior of the feed box 2. By precisely controlling the rotation speed and angle of the distribution rod 34, the material is accurately distributed. Several annularly distributed limiting plates 341 are fixed on the outer side of the distribution rod 34. These limiting plates 341 can effectively limit the flow of material and ensure that the amount of material fed each time is approximately the same. In addition, the top of the limiting plate 341 is provided with an arc-shaped cover plate for use with it. The cover plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feed box 2, limiting the flow path of the material and improving the working efficiency and stability of the equipment.
[0028] It should be noted that when the limiting plate 341 rotates to be perpendicular to the unloading plate 32, the feed on the surface of the unloading plate 32 will be completely blocked by the limiting plate 341. Then, the feeding can be controlled by controlling the angle between the limiting plate 341 and the unloading plate 32. The angle of rotation of the servo motor 33 driving the distributing rod 34 can be calculated and adjusted according to actual needs to meet the feed amount required for each feeding.
[0029] In this embodiment, one end of the feeding rod 37 extends through the right side wall of the feed box 2 to the interior of the transmission box 36. A drive gear 371 is fixed on the outer side of one end of the feeding rod 37 in the transmission box 36. The drive gear 371 meshes with the transmission gears 361 on both sides through its tooth structure. The transmission gears 361 are distributed inside the transmission box 36, and each transmission gear 361 is tightly engaged with the drive gears 371 on both sides, ensuring effective power transmission and uniform distribution. When the drive gear 371 rotates, it drives all the transmission gears 361 to rotate synchronously through the meshing action.
[0030] In this embodiment, the feeding rod 37 located in the middle is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 35 via a transmission belt, thereby driving the drive gear 371 and transmission gear 361 inside the transmission box 36 to rotate synchronously, ensuring the stability and efficiency of the feeding process. The feeding rod 37 is fixed with spiral feeding blades 372 on its outer side inside the feeding box 2. These spiral feeding blades 372 can effectively transport materials from one end of the feeding box 2 to the other. The inner bottom wall of the feeding box 2 is provided with an arc-shaped groove that matches the spiral feeding blades 372. This design... This design ensures that the material can only move within the spiral of the spiral feeder blade 372 during the conveying process. The bottom left side of the feed box 2 is connected to the top right side of the discharge cylinder 38, allowing the material to smoothly enter the discharge cylinder 38 from the feed box 2. The left end of the feeder rod 37 extends into the interior of the discharge cylinder 38, further ensuring continuous material conveying. The discharge rod 310 is arranged longitudinally below the feeder rod 37, and its outer surface is fixed with spiral discharge blades. These spiral discharge blades can evenly discharge the material from the discharge cylinder 38, ensuring smooth and uniform discharge.
[0031] It should be noted that the inner bottom wall of the feed box 2 is provided with an arc-shaped groove and the inner wall is provided with slight protrusions of varying heights, so that the feed can be squeezed under the conveying operation of the spiral feed blade 372, thereby achieving a certain degree of grinding effect.
[0032] In this embodiment, the discharge cylinder 38 is located on the front side of the feed box 2 and connected to the discharge pipe 381. The bottom of the discharge pipe 381 is provided with a discharge port, which facilitates the material to be discharged from the side of the feed box 2. The discharge rod 310 is fixed to the output shaft of the discharge motor 39. The end of the discharge rod 310 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the discharge pipe 381. In this way, the rotation speed of the discharge motor 39 can control the discharge speed and flow rate of the material.
[0033] All electrical components mentioned in this article are electrically connected to the controller and power supply. The control method of this utility model is controlled by the controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
[0034] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0035] Feed is placed into the feed box 2 through the feed inlet 31. The servo motor 33 is started to drive the feed distribution rod 34 to rotate, changing the vertical relationship between the feed limiting plate 341 and the discharge plate 32. An opening is formed between the feed limiting plate 341 and the discharge plate 32 for a period of time. A fixed amount of feed enters the bottom of the feed box 2 along the discharge plate 32. At the same time, the drive motor 35 and the discharge motor 39 are started. The drive motor 35 drives the middle feed rod 37 to rotate. The middle feed rod 37 drives the transmission gears 361 on both sides of it to rotate through the drive gear 371, thereby driving the feed rods 361 on both sides of the middle feed rod 37 to rotate. 7 rotates synchronously, thereby enabling all the feeding rods 37 to rotate. The feeding rods 37 drive the rotation of the spiral feeding blades 372, causing the feed to continuously move from the arc-shaped groove on the bottom wall of the feed box 2 towards the discharge cylinder 38. After the feed enters the discharge cylinder 38, the discharge motor 39 drives the discharge rod 310 and the spiral discharge blades on the surface of the discharge rod 310 to rotate, thereby pushing all the feed inside the discharge cylinder 38 into the discharge pipe 381. The feed is then discharged through the bottom outlet of the discharge pipe 381, thus achieving the effect of quantitative feeding and solving the problem that traditional cattle feed feeding equipment cannot perform quantitative feeding.
