[0020] 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.

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-2 This utility model provides a feeding and mixing device for a birth powder production line for newborn piglets, including a mobile feeding station 1, multiple raw material bins 2, and a mixing bin 3 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The multiple raw material bins 2 are arranged side by side, and the top of the mixing bin 3 is connected to the bottom discharge port of the multiple raw material bins 2. A feeding component is provided between the raw material bins 2 and the mixing bin 3, and a stirring component is provided inside the mixing bin 3.

[0023] The raw material silo 2 has a feeding port 4 at the top. The mobile feeding station 1 includes a moving mechanism, on which a feeding silo 5 is installed. The bottom of the feeding silo 5 is fixedly connected to and connected to a feeding pipe 6. The outer diameter of the feeding pipe 6 is not greater than the inner diameter of the feeding port 4. The bottom of the feeding pipe 6 is close to the top of any feeding port 4. The feeding silo 5 has a feeding port 7. The top of the side wall of the feeding silo 5 is fixedly connected to and connected to an air outlet pipe 8. A fan 9 is fixedly connected inside the air outlet pipe 8. The air inlet of the fan 9 is connected to the inner cavity of the feeding silo 5. The air outlet of the fan 9 is connected to a filter assembly.

[0024] The motor in fan 9 is fixed inside the exhaust duct 8, and several fan blades are fixed to the motor's output shaft. The motor drives the fan blades to rotate, thereby drawing the powder flying in the feeding hopper 5 into the exhaust duct 8 (this is existing technology and will not be elaborated here). This prevents the powder flying in the feeding hopper 5 from escaping through the feeding port 7. During the suction process, air and some powder from the feeding port 7 also flow into the feeding hopper 5, reducing powder dispersion and thus minimizing the powder's impact on the working environment. In actual use, the fan speed needs to be set according to the actual situation to avoid excessive airflow that could draw in too much material.

[0025] In use, different raw material bins 2 are used to hold different raw materials. When any raw material bin 2 needs to be filled, the feeding bin 5 is moved by the moving device, so that the bottom of the feeding pipe 6 is close to the feeding port 4 on the corresponding raw material bin 2. The corresponding raw material is added into the feeding bin 5 through the feeding port 7, and then into the raw material bin 2 through the feeding pipe 6. During the feeding process, the fan 9 sucks the flying powder into the air outlet pipe 8, and then filters it through the filter component to reduce the impact of dust on the working environment during the feeding process. The raw materials in the raw material bin 2 are added into the mixing bin 3 through the feeding component, and then mixed by the stirring component, reducing manual intervention and improving the mixing uniformity of the raw materials.

[0026] In some alternative embodiments, a support platform 10 is also provided, and the moving mechanism includes a moving trolley 11. The feeding bin 5 is fixedly connected to the moving trolley 11, the moving trolley 11 moves on the top of the support platform 10, and multiple raw material bins 2 are fixedly connected to the support platform 10. The upper edge of the feeding port 4 is flush with the top of the support platform 10.

[0027] Furthermore, the mobile trolley 11 includes a support plate, with casters fixed to the four corners of the bottom of the support plate, and a handrail fixed to the top of the support plate, making it easy for people to push the mobile trolley 11 to the corresponding position.

[0028] Furthermore, the casters are casters with brakes, which fix the position when the trolley 11 is pushed to the corresponding position.

[0029] The bottom of the feeding pipe 6 is close to the top of any feeding port 4, that is, close to the top of the support platform 10, with a small gap between it and the top of the support platform 10, which can prevent wear on the feeding pipe 6 during movement.

[0030] In some alternative embodiments, the filter assembly includes a bag filter 12 fixed to the support platform 10, with the inlet of the bag filter 12 fixed and connected to the outlet pipe 8 via a corrugated pipe 13.

[0031] Bag filters are a new type of filtration system mainly used in the food, hygiene, and pharmaceutical industries, and have now become one of the most widely used filtration devices in industrial sectors. A bag filter mainly consists of a filter cylinder, filter cylinder cover, filter bag, and reinforcing mesh. Its filtration mechanism is that when gas containing dust (or solid particles) passes through the filter bag, only the gas passes through, while the dust is trapped on the surface of the filter bag. When a certain amount of impurities accumulates on the surface of the filter bag, the filter bag needs to be replaced to restore filtration efficiency. Bag filters have advantages such as large throughput, low cost, and convenient use and maintenance (specific details are existing technology and will not be elaborated here).

[0032] In some alternative embodiments, the stirring assembly includes a first motor fixed to the outer wall of the mixing chamber 3, the output shaft of the first motor being fixed to a stirring shaft, the stirring shaft extending into the mixing chamber 3 and rotatably connected to the side wall of the mixing chamber 3, the stirring shaft being parallel to the ground, and a plurality of stirring rods 14 being fixed to the side wall of the stirring shaft.

[0033] Multiple sets of stirring rods 14 are arranged along the axis of the stirring shaft, with multiple rods in each set. The multiple stirring rods 14 in each set are evenly spaced along the circumference of the stirring shaft. When the material enters the mixing chamber 3, the stirring rods 14 are driven to rotate by the first motor, thereby mixing the raw materials.

[0034] Furthermore, the mixing chamber 3 is equipped with a heating jacket, into which a heat medium can be introduced to achieve a low-temperature sterilization function with constant heating.

[0035] In some alternative embodiments, the feeding assembly includes a first screw feeder 15 fixed below the discharge port of the raw material silo 2, and the feed inlet of the first screw feeder 15 is connected to the discharge port of the raw material silo 2.

[0036] The screw feeder is a new generation product integrating stable flow conveying, weighing, and quantitative control of powder materials; it is suitable for continuous metering and batching of powder materials in various industrial production environments. The screw is the main component of the screw feeder, consisting of a shaft and helical blades welded to the shaft. Typically, an inlet is located at the top of the casing, and an outlet is located at the bottom, with the inlet and outlet offset. During operation, material enters the helical blades through the inlet, and the shaft is driven to rotate by a motor, thus transmitting the material. The material flows out from the outlet (specific details are existing technology and will not be elaborated here), thereby achieving quantitative material conveying.

[0037] In some alternative embodiments, a transition chamber 16 is provided between the first screw feeder 15 and the mixing chamber 3. The top of the transition chamber 16 has a first opening, which is connected to the discharge ports of multiple first screw feeders 15. The transition chamber 16 is connected to the mixing chamber 3.

[0038] In some alternative embodiments, a second opening is provided at the bottom of the transition chamber 16, and a second screw feeder 17 is provided between the second opening and the mixing chamber 3. The feed inlet of the second screw feeder 17 is connected to the second opening, and the discharge outlet of the second screw feeder 17 is connected to the feed inlet at the top of the mixing chamber 3.

[0039] In some alternative embodiments, the bottom of the raw material silo 2 is conical.

[0040] Furthermore, a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the mixing chamber 3, and a baffle is provided below the discharge port. A cylinder is fixed to the side wall of the mixing chamber 3. The cylinder drives the baffle to move horizontally and linearly, thereby blocking or opening the discharge port. A finished product hopper 18 is provided at the bottom of the mixing chamber 3. When the discharge port at the bottom of the mixing chamber 3 is opened, the mixed raw materials fall into the finished product hopper 18, and are then transported to the inlet of the packaging machine 19 by the horizontal screw feeder 20 for packaging.

[0041] In use, different raw material bins 2 are used to hold different raw materials. When any raw material bin 2 needs to be added, the trolley 11 moves the feeding bin 5 so that the bottom of the feeding pipe 6 is close to the feeding port 4 on the corresponding raw material bin 2. The corresponding raw material is added to the feeding bin 5 through the feeding port 7 and then to the raw material bin 2 through the feeding pipe 6. During the feeding process, the fan 9 sucks the flying powder into the air outlet pipe 8 and then filters it through the bag filter 12 to reduce the impact of dust on the working environment during the feeding process. The raw materials in each raw material bin 2 are quantitatively added to the transition bin 16 through the corresponding first screw feeder 15, and then added to the mixing bin 3 through the second screw feeder 17. The mixing is carried out by the rotation of the stirring rod 14 in the mixing bin 3. After the mixing is completed, the baffle at the bottom of the mixing bin 3 is opened, and the mixed raw materials are added to the finished product bin 18 and then conveyed to the inlet of the dispensing machine 19 for dispensing by the horizontal screw feeder 20.
