Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry farming technology, and in particular to a dual-sensor suspended batch weighing system. Background Technology

[0002] In the poultry farming sector, cost control is becoming increasingly urgent, especially regarding feed usage. Farmers strive to maximize feed utilization and minimize waste. However, current poultry feeding methods typically rely on manual measurement and the experience of farmers to dispense feed into individual bins. This increases labor intensity, fails to effectively control feed weight and utilization, and, with rising labor costs, further complicates matters. Therefore, finding a more precise method to control feed usage while reducing labor costs has become a pressing issue for the poultry farming industry. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a dual-sensor suspended batch weighing system that addresses the above-mentioned technical deficiencies. This system can reduce labor costs, improve feeding efficiency, accurately control the amount of feed, and realize a one-stop feeding function from the feed tower to the feed box, thereby improving economic benefits.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: to provide a dual-sensor suspended batch weighing system device, including a feed weighing component set on the upper side of the main frame and a feed output component set on the lower side of the main frame;

[0005] The feed weighing assembly includes a support frame fixed to the upper side of the main frame; a receiving hopper is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame; a weighing roller is suspended inside the support frame and receives the feed below the outlet of the receiving hopper; mounting shafts are coaxially fixed at both ends of the weighing roller; the mounting shafts are rotatably connected to positioning frames on both sides of the weighing roller; the positioning frames are correspondingly connected to the detection ends of the weighing sensors fixed on both sides of the support frame; a rotary drive motor is fixed on one of the two positioning frames; the rotary drive motor drives the weighing roller to rotate around the mounting shaft; both the weighing sensors and the rotary drive motor are connected to a control circuit, and the processor in the control circuit controls the start and stop of the rotary drive motor according to the detection signal received from the weighing sensors;

[0006] The feed output assembly includes a guide hopper fixed to the main frame and correspondingly supported below the weighing roller; a discharge bin fixed to the main frame is correspondingly supported below the outlet of the guide hopper; and a discharge shoe for discharging feed is connected to the lower end of the discharge bin.

[0007] To further optimize this technical solution, the upper end of the receiving hopper of the dual-sensor suspended batch weighing system equipment is provided with multiple feed ports.

[0008] To further optimize this technical solution, the unloading bin of the dual-sensor suspended batch weighing system has a two-chamber structure; the guide hopper is equipped with a material distribution mechanism for switching between the guide hopper outlet and the communicating chamber.

[0009] To further optimize this technical solution, the material distribution mechanism of the dual-sensor suspended batch weighing system includes a rotating shaft horizontally set inside the lower side of the guide hopper; the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the guide hopper; a material distribution plate is fixed on the rotating shaft; the side wall of the material distribution plate slides and fits against the inner wall of the guide hopper; when the upper end of the material distribution plate abuts against the opposite sides of the inner wall of the guide hopper, the outlet of the guide hopper and the two chambers of the discharge bin are respectively connected.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the dual-sensor suspended batch weighing system includes a feed weighing component installed on the upper side of the main frame 1 and a feed output component installed on the lower side of the main frame 1.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the feed weighing assembly includes a support frame 2 fixed to the upper side of the main frame 1; a receiving hopper 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame 2; a weighing roller 4 is suspended inside the support frame 2 and correspondingly supported below the outlet of the receiving hopper 3; mounting shafts 5 are coaxially fixed to both ends of the weighing roller 4; the mounting shafts 5 are rotatably connected to positioning frames 6 on both sides of the weighing roller 4; the positioning frames 6 are correspondingly connected to the detection ends of weighing sensors 7 fixed on both sides of the support frame 2; a rotary drive motor 8 (servo motor or stepper motor is acceptable) is fixed on one of the two positioning frames 6; the rotary drive motor 8 is used to drive the weighing roller 4 to rotate around the mounting shaft 5; Figure 5 As shown, both the weighing sensor 7 and the angle drive motor 8 are connected to the control circuit. The processor in the control circuit controls the start and stop of the angle drive motor 8 according to the detection signal received from the weighing sensor 7.

[0022] The feed output assembly includes a feed hopper 9 fixed on the main frame 1 and correspondingly supported below the weighing roller 4; a feed bin 10 fixed on the main frame 1 is correspondingly supported below the outlet of the feed hopper 9; and a feed shoe 11 for outputting feed is connected to the lower end of the feed bin 10.

[0023] In this scheme, the weighing roller 4 is suspended by weighing sensors 7 on both sides. Feed from the external feed tower is fed into the weighing roller 4 through the receiving hopper 3. The weighing sensors 7 can monitor the weight of the added feed in real time. When the weight of the added feed reaches a preset value, the processor in the control circuit controls the rotation drive motor 8 to start, flipping the weighing roller 4 so that its inlet faces downwards. Figure 3 As shown, the feed inside can enter the feed hopper 9, and then slide into the feed bin 10 with the feed hopper 9. Finally, it is transferred to the feeding box through the feed shoe 11 (a commonly used material conveying device, the specific structure of which will not be described in detail). This achieves precise control of the feeding amount and realizes the one-stop feeding function from the feed tower to the feed box, saving labor.

[0024] During the above process, the amount of feed added detected by the weighing sensor 7 when the weighing roller 4 is rotated by the corresponding program in the control circuit can be adjusted. Generally, a setting range of 5kg-20kg is sufficient to meet the feeding requirements. Of course, after the weighing roller 4 rotates, as the feed is gradually poured out, the weight data detected by the weighing sensor 7 gradually decreases. When the weighing sensor 7 detects a change in the weighing weight to a certain value (this value can be set to be slightly greater than the weight detected before the feed was added, because a small amount of feed residue is inevitable), it indicates that the feed has been poured out. The processor will then control the weighing roller 8 to rotate again, restoring the weighing roller 4 to its initial receiving angle.

[0025] In this technical solution, by using weighing sensors 7 to suspend the weighing roller 4 from both ends, the accuracy of detecting the amount of feed added is higher, and the weight change can be monitored in real time during the feeding and pouring process, which is more reliable and more efficient.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper end of the receiving hopper 3 has multiple feed inlets 12. The multiple feed inlets 12 are suitable for adding various feed ingredients in combination.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the feed hopper 10 has a two-chamber structure; the feed guide hopper 9 is equipped with a feed distribution mechanism for switching between the chambers connected to the outlet of the feed guide hopper 9. Different types of feed are typically used for adult and young poultry during breeding, and this design allows for better adaptation to the feed addition requirements.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the material distribution mechanism includes a rotating shaft 13 horizontally disposed on the lower side inside the guide hopper 9; the rotating shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the guide hopper 9; a material distribution plate 14 is fixed on the rotating shaft 13; the side wall of the material distribution plate 14 slides and fits against the inner wall of the guide hopper 9; when the upper end of the material distribution plate 14 abuts against the opposite sides of the inner wall of the guide hopper 9, the outlet of the guide hopper 9 and the two chambers of the discharge bin 10 are respectively connected.

[0029] By changing the position of the upper end of the feed distribution plate 14 by using the rotating shaft 13, the feed can be injected into which chamber of the feed hopper 10. The structure is simple and easy to control. The rotation of the rotating shaft 13 can be controlled manually or by a driver. The specific driving method depends on the actual situation. For example, if there is no need to switch for a long time, manual control can save costs.

[0030] It is understood that this utility model has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the protection scope of this utility model.
