[0021] The following detailed explanation illustrates the specific implementation methods:

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown:

[0023] A laboratory animal feed production mixing device includes a trailer 1, a mixing module and a feeding module. The feeding module is installed on one side of the mixing module and is used to lift and pour the feed raw materials to be mixed into the mixing module. The mixing module is installed on the trailer 1 and is used to mix the raw materials. The trailer 1 facilitates the movement of the device.

[0024] The mixing module includes a mixing tank 2 and a mixing mechanism installed at the bottom of the mixing tank 2. The mixing tank 2 is used to load feed ingredients, and the mixing mechanism is used to stir and mix the feed ingredients in the mixing tank 2. The mixing mechanism includes a drive motor 12, a coupling 13, a rotating drum 14, and mixing fins 15. The drive motor 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mixing tank 2 and is the power source. The output shaft of the drive motor 12 is connected to the rotating shaft through the coupling 13. The rotating shaft is fixedly installed inside the rotating drum 14. The drive motor 12 drives the rotating drum 14 to rotate through the coupling 13 and the rotating shaft. The rotating drum 14 is located in the mixing tank 2. Mixing fins 15 are provided on the outside of the rotating drum 14. The mixing fins 15 are used to mix and turn the feed ingredients in the mixing tank 2.

[0025] The feeding module includes an electric push rod 6 and a feeding hopper 7. One end of the feeding hopper 7 is hinged to the edge of the opening of the mixing barrel 2. The telescopic rod of the electric push rod 6 is hinged to the feeding hopper 7. The other end of the electric push rod 6 is hinged to the outer wall of the mixing barrel 2. The electric push rod 6 can push the feeding hopper 7 to rise. Under the hinge action between the feeding hopper 7 and the mixing barrel 2, the raw materials in the feeding hopper 7 can be poured into the mixing barrel 2.

[0026] The mixing fins 15 are spirally installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. The spiral fins can stir and lift the raw materials at the bottom of the mixing barrel 2, making the materials in the mixing barrel 2 more evenly mixed.

[0027] The width of the mixing fins 15 increases sequentially from top to bottom along the rotating shaft, gradually mixing the raw materials in the mixing tank 2.

[0028] A guide plate 8 is provided at one end of the feeding hopper 7 that is connected to the mixing tank 2. The guide plate 8 is used to guide the feed raw materials when the feeding hopper 7 pours them into the mixing tank 2.

[0029] A reinforcing frame 9 is installed at the feeding hopper 7. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 6 is hinged to the reinforcing frame 9. The reinforcing frame 9 can strengthen the connection between the electric push rod 6 and the feeding hopper 7 and improve the service life of the feeding hopper 7.

[0030] A connecting lug 10 is provided at the feeding hopper 7, and a fixing lug 11 is provided at the opening edge of the mixing barrel 2. The connecting lug 10 and the fixing lug 11 are hinged by a pivot, so that the upper end of the feeding hopper 7 intersects with the edge of the mixing barrel 2, allowing the feeding hopper 7 to be flipped along the hinged part.

[0031] A discharge port 3 is provided on the lower outer wall of the mixing tank 2 to facilitate the discharge of feed from the mixing tank 2. A movable door 4 is provided at the discharge port 3 to block the discharge port 3 and facilitate the mixing of feed in the mixing tank 2.

[0032] A discharge baffle 5 is provided at the discharge port 3. The discharge baffle 5 is used to assist the discharge port 3 in discharging material and guide the discharge direction of the material.

[0033] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0034] When using this laboratory animal feed production mixing device, the device is moved to a suitable location by trailer 1. When feed mixing is required, the proportioned feed ingredients are first poured into the feeding hopper 7. Then, the electric push rod 6 is activated, and the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 6 extends to lift the feeding hopper 7. The feeding hopper 7 gradually flips due to its hinge with the mixing tank 2, so that the feed ingredients inside are gradually poured into the mixing tank 2 under the action of gravity and the guidance of the guide plate 8. Next, the drive motor 12 is activated. The drive motor 12 drives the rotating drum 14 to rotate through the coupling 13 and the rotating shaft. The rotating drum 14 drives the mixing fins 15 to rotate. The mixing fins 15 can lift the raw materials at the bottom of the mixing tank 2 and mix them with the raw materials at the top of the mixing tank 2. After a certain period of time, the feed will be evenly mixed. After the feed is mixed, the movable door 4 can be opened to expose the discharge port 3, so that the mixed feed in the mixing tank 2 can be discharged smoothly.

[0035] This laboratory animal feed production mixing device can be moved freely via trailer 1. Feeding is performed through the feeding module, eliminating the need for users to lift and pour feed into the mixing tank 2, effectively reducing the user's labor. The mixing module mixes and stirs the feed ingredients to produce a suitable amount of feed, improving the production efficiency of laboratory animal feed. The discharge port 3 on the side of the mixing tank 2 facilitates the discharge of feed from the mixing tank 2.
