Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed processing technology, specifically to a device for breaking up clumps of feed additives. Background Technology
[0002] Feed is an indispensable source of nutrition for the growth and production of farmed animals. It is scientifically formulated from a variety of ingredients, including grains, soybean meal, minerals, and vitamins. Grains provide energy, soybean meal is a high-quality protein source, and minerals and vitamins ensure the normal physiological functions of animals.
[0003] In feed production, the addition of feed additives is essential. On the one hand, additives can supplement the various nutrients needed for animal growth. However, feed additives have an unavoidable problem during storage: clumping. Clumped additives can cause many problems. Uneven nutrient distribution leads to an imbalance in the nutrients ingested by animals, affecting their growth and development; clumping alters the physical properties of the feed, reduces palatability, and decreases animal feed intake.
[0004] Existing methods for removing clumps involve mechanical stirring or vibration equipment. However, when feed clumps are large and hard, these methods are ineffective at breaking up the clumps and therefore require improvement. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a feed additive agglomeration crushing device, comprising a second support, an operation box fixedly connected to the top of the second support, a first support fixedly connected to the top right side of the operation box, a feeding cylinder fixedly connected to the middle of the first support, a crushing mechanism installed inside the operation box and on the top right side of the second support, and a discharge mechanism installed at the bottom front side of the operation box.
[0007] The crushing mechanism includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the center of the operating box. An inner spiral blade is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and an outer spiral blade is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft outside the inner spiral blade. A crushing rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft at the gap between the inner and outer spiral blades. A crushing block is fixedly connected to the end of the crushing rod away from the rotating shaft. A gearbox is fixedly connected to the top right side of the second bracket. The left side of the gearbox is fixedly connected to the right end of the rotating shaft. A pulley assembly is installed on the right side of the gearbox. A first motor is installed at the bottom of the pulley assembly and is fixedly connected inside the second bracket.
[0008] Preferably, the gearbox has two output shafts on its left and right sides. The output shaft on the left side of the gearbox is fixedly connected to the right end of the rotating shaft, and the output shaft on the right side of the gearbox is installed with a pulley assembly.
[0009] Preferably, the pulley assembly comprises two pulleys and a belt. The top pulley of the pulley assembly is fixedly connected to the output shaft on the right side of the gearbox, and the bottom pulley of the pulley assembly is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor. The two pulleys are connected by a belt for transmission.
[0010] Preferably, the discharge mechanism includes a discharge trough, which is fixedly connected to the front side of the operation box. A baffle is inserted into the rear side of the discharge trough. An extraction block is fixedly connected to the bottom front side of the baffle. An extraction rod is hinged to the top of the extraction block. A movable rod is fixedly connected to the front end of the extraction rod. The movable rod is rotatably connected to the front side of the discharge trough. A worm gear is fixedly connected to the right end of the movable rod. A fixing block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the worm gear on the right side of the discharge trough. A worm is rotatably connected inside the fixing block.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a feed additive agglomeration and crushing device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This feed additive agglomeration and crushing device effectively solves the problem of feed additive agglomeration through its designed crushing mechanism. During operation, the first motor starts, driving the gearbox via a pulley set, which in turn rotates the rotating shaft. The inner and outer spiral blades and the crushing rod on the rotating shaft rotate accordingly. Agglomerated feed additives enter the operating box from the discharge cylinder, where the rotation of the inner and outer spiral blades gathers them together. Simultaneously, the crushing blocks on the crushing rod continuously impact, squeeze, and cut the agglomerates. This multi-dimensional action, compared to traditional mechanical mixing and vibration equipment, more thoroughly breaks down larger and harder agglomerates. After thorough crushing, the nutrient distribution of the feed additive is more uniform, avoiding nutritional imbalances in animal intake caused by agglomeration and ensuring animal growth and development.
[0015] 2. This feed additive agglomeration and crushing device further demonstrates its advantages through the design of its discharge mechanism. After the feed additive is crushed, the second motor is started, and its output shaft drives the worm gear to rotate. Since the worm gear meshes with the worm wheel, it causes the movable rod to rotate. The rotation of the movable rod drives the baffle upward through the extraction rod, opening the discharge port of the control box, allowing the crushed feed additive to be smoothly discharged from the discharge trough. This motor-driven discharge method is simple to operate and highly controllable, allowing for flexible adjustment of the discharge speed and time according to production needs. Compared with traditional discharge methods, it reduces manual intervention, improves production efficiency, and avoids the problem of poor discharge affecting the entire feed production process.

[0022] 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.
[0023] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0024] This utility model provides the following technical solution: Example 1
[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 A feed additive agglomeration crushing device includes a second support 5, an operation box 1 fixedly connected to the top of the second support 5, a first support 3 fixedly connected to the top right side of the operation box 1, a feeding cylinder 2 fixedly connected to the middle of the first support 3, a crushing mechanism 4 installed inside the operation box 1 and the top right side of the second support 5, and a discharge mechanism 6 installed at the bottom front side of the operation box 1.
[0026] The crushing mechanism 4 includes a rotating shaft 41, which is rotatably connected to the middle of the operating box 1. An inner spiral blade 42 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 41, and an outer spiral blade 43 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 41 outside the inner spiral blade 42. A crushing rod 44 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 41 at the gap between the inner spiral blade 42 and the outer spiral blade 43. A crushing block 45 is fixedly connected to the end of the crushing rod 44 away from the rotating shaft 41. A gearbox 46 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the second support 5. The left side of the gearbox 46 is fixedly connected to the right end of the rotating shaft 41. A pulley assembly 47 is installed on the right side of the gearbox 46. A first motor 48 is installed at the bottom of the pulley assembly 47 and is fixedly connected to the inside of the second support 5.
[0027] The crushing mechanism 4 effectively solves the problem of feed additive clumping. During operation, the first motor 48 starts, driving the gearbox 46 via the pulley set 47, which in turn rotates the rotating shaft 41. The inner spiral blade 42, outer spiral blade 43, and crushing rod 44 on the rotating shaft 41 rotate accordingly. After the clumped feed additive enters the operating box 1 from the discharge cylinder 2, the rotation of the inner and outer spiral blades 42 and 43 gathers it towards the center, while the crushing blocks 45 on the crushing rod 44 continuously impact, squeeze, and cut the clumped material. This multi-dimensional action, compared to traditional mechanical stirring and vibration equipment, can more thoroughly break down larger and harder clumps. After thorough crushing, the nutrient distribution of the feed additive is more uniform, avoiding nutritional imbalances in animal intake caused by clumping and ensuring animal growth and development.
[0028] Two output shafts are provided on the left and right sides of the gearbox 46. The output shaft on the left side of the gearbox 46 is fixedly connected to the right end of the rotating shaft 41, and the output shaft on the right side of the gearbox 46 is installed with the pulley assembly 47.
[0029] The pulley assembly 47 consists of two pulleys and a belt. The top pulley of the pulley assembly 47 is fixedly connected to the output shaft on the right side of the gearbox 46, and the bottom pulley of the pulley assembly 47 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 48. The two pulleys are connected by a belt for transmission. Example 2
[0030] Please see Figure 1-4 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the discharge mechanism 6 further includes a discharge trough 62, which is fixedly connected to the front side of the operation box 1. A baffle 61 is inserted into the rear side of the discharge trough 62. An extraction block 63 is fixedly connected to the bottom front side of the baffle 61. An extraction rod 65 is hinged to the top of the extraction block 63. A movable rod 64 is fixedly connected to the front end of the extraction rod 65. The movable rod 64 is rotatably connected to the front side of the discharge trough 62. A worm gear 66 is fixedly connected to the right end of the movable rod 64. A fixing block 67 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the worm gear 66 on the right side of the discharge trough 62. A worm 68 is rotatably connected inside the fixing block 67. A second motor 69 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 67 at the front end of the worm 68.
[0031] The advantages of this device are further demonstrated by the design of the discharge mechanism 6. After the feed additive is crushed, the second motor 69 is started, and its output shaft drives the worm gear 68 to rotate. Since the worm gear 68 meshes with the worm wheel 66, the movable rod 64 rotates. The rotation of the movable rod 64 drives the baffle 61 to move upward through the extraction rod 65, opening the discharge port of the control box 1, and the crushed feed additive can be smoothly discharged from the discharge trough 62. This motor-driven discharge method is simple to operate and highly controllable, and the discharge speed and time can be flexibly adjusted according to production needs. Compared with the traditional discharge method, it reduces manual intervention, improves production efficiency, and avoids the problem of the entire feed production process being affected by poor discharge.
[0032] The control box 1 has a discharge port on the corresponding baffle 61, and the size of the baffle 61 is larger than the size of the discharge port.
[0033] The second motor 69 is equipped with an output shaft, and the second motor 69 is fixedly connected to the worm 68 through the output shaft. The top of the worm 68 and the bottom of the worm wheel 66 mesh with each other.
[0034] In actual operation, when this device is used, the first motor 48 starts, driving the gearbox 46 through the pulley set 47, which in turn causes the rotating shaft 41 to rotate. The inner spiral blade 42, the outer spiral blade 43, and the crushing rod 44 on the rotating shaft 41 rotate accordingly. After the clumps of feed additive enter the operating box 1 from the feeding cylinder 2, the rotation of the inner spiral blade 42 and the outer spiral blade 43 gathers them together, while the crushing blocks 45 on the crushing rod 44 continuously impact, squeeze, and cut the clumps. This multi-dimensional action, compared to traditional mechanical stirring and vibration equipment, can more thoroughly break down larger and harder clumps.
[0035] Once the feed additive is crushed, the second motor 69 is started, and its output shaft drives the worm gear 68 to rotate. Since the worm gear 68 meshes with the worm wheel 66, this causes the movable rod 64 to rotate. The rotation of the movable rod 64 drives the baffle 61 upwards via the extraction rod 65, opening the discharge port of the control box 1, allowing the crushed feed additive to be smoothly discharged from the discharge trough 62. This motor-driven discharge method is simple to operate and highly controllable, allowing for flexible adjustment of the discharge speed and time according to production needs.
