Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of lamb feeding equipment, and in particular relates to a lamb milk powder stirring and anti-sedimentation device. Background Technology

[0002] Lamb milk powder feeding is an alternative feeding method for newborn lambs or when ewes are unable to nurse. It involves artificially formulating milk powder to meet the nutritional needs of lambs for growth and development. It is suitable for lambs that are premature, weak, or have multiple births leading to insufficient maternal milk, or for the centralized management needs of large-scale farms. Lambs have high protein and fat requirements in the first three weeks after birth, necessitating a formula with high digestibility and low lactose. High-quality lamb milk powder should contain whole milk protein (such as whey protein), whole milk fat, and probiotics to promote rumen development. Since maternal milk contains immunoglobulins, milk powder needs to be supplemented with probiotics and enzymes to support gut health. Milk powder feeding should mimic the temperature and feeding frequency of maternal milk to reduce the digestive burden.

[0003] Existing lamb milk powder production equipment mixes milk powder and purified water. However, after mixing, the milk remains stagnant for an extended period, causing sedimentation. This sedimentation results in a thin upper layer and a thick lower layer of milk. To address this issue, it is essential to design a lamb milk powder stirring and sedimentation prevention device. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a stirring and anti-sedimentation device for lamb milk powder to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a lamb milk powder stirring and anti-sedimentation device includes a cylinder, a base plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylinder, a plurality of mounting holes are opened on the base plate, a drain pipe is connected to and fixedly installed at the bottom end of the cylinder, and a valve is installed on the drain pipe.

[0006] The top of the cylinder has multiple slots arranged in a circular array. A top plate is provided at the upper end of the cylinder. Multiple blocks arranged in a circular array are fixedly installed on the outer side of the top plate. The blocks are inserted into the slots respectively. A vertical shaft is rotatably installed at the bottom of the top plate. Multiple blade assemblies of different heights are installed on the vertical shaft. A servo motor is fixedly installed at the top of the top plate. The output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the vertical shaft. A water pump is fixedly installed on the side of the cylinder. The discharge end of the water pump is connected to and fixedly installed with a pipe. A guide pipe is fixedly installed on the top plate. The guide pipe passes through the top plate and the other end of the guide pipe is inserted into the pipe.

[0007] Preferably, the lower end of the cylinder is configured as a funnel shape.

[0008] Preferably, the outer side of the cylinder is wrapped with a layer of thermal insulation cotton.

[0009] Preferably, the blade assembly includes multiple blades arranged in a circumferential array, the blades being fixedly connected to a vertical axis and located inside the cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, a screw conveyor is fixedly installed on the cylinder, the discharge end of the screw conveyor is connected to the inner cavity of the cylinder, and a hopper is fixedly installed on the screw conveyor, the lower end of the hopper being connected to the inner cavity of the screw conveyor.

[0011] Preferably, a sealing ring is provided at the connection between the guide pipe and the pipeline.

[0012] Preferably, a pressure relief port is provided on the top plate.

[0013] Preferably, a liquid level detector for detecting the liquid level inside the cylinder is installed on the cylinder body, and a controller is fixedly installed on the outside of the cylinder body. The screw conveyor and the water pump are both electrically connected to the controller, and the controller is used to control the operation of the screw conveyor and the water pump.

[0014] Compared with related technologies, the lamb milk powder stirring and anti-sedimentation device provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] A servo motor drives the blades to rotate, mixing milk powder and water to produce milk suitable for lambs. During the milk settling process, the servo motor intermittently drives the blades to rotate, intermittently mixing the milk to prevent sedimentation caused by prolonged settling. This ensures that the nutrients in the milk are evenly distributed, avoiding clumping or layering, making the milk easier for lambs to digest and absorb. The milk concentration ingested by the lambs is consistent, preventing nutritional imbalances from affecting their growth and development.

[0016] By lifting the top plate upwards, it can be removed from the cylinder, separating the slot from the block and the lower end of the guide pipe from the upper end of the pipe. This allows the vertical shaft and blades to be removed from inside the cylinder, facilitating cleaning of the cylinder interior and blades. The automatic mixing of milk powder and water is achieved through the linkage of the liquid level detector and controller, reducing manual intervention. Precise control of the screw conveyor and water pump ensures stable milk concentration, meeting the nutritional needs of the lambs. Attached Figure Description

[0024] A preferred embodiment of the lamb milk powder stirring and anti-sedimentation device provided by this utility model is, for example... Figures 1 to 4 As shown:

[0025] A lamb milk powder stirring and anti-sedimentation device includes a cylinder 1, a base plate 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylinder 1, multiple mounting holes on the base plate 2, a drain pipe 3 connected to and fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylinder 1, and a valve installed on the drain pipe 3. Multiple slots 4 arranged in a circular array are opened at the top of the cylinder 1. A top plate 5 is provided at the upper end of the cylinder 1. Multiple blocks 7 arranged in a circular array are fixedly installed on the outer side of the top plate 5, and the blocks 7 are respectively inserted into the slots 4. A vertical shaft 8 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the top plate 5, and multiple blade assemblies of different heights are installed on the vertical shaft 8. A servo motor 9 is fixedly installed at the top of the top plate 5, and the output shaft of the servo motor 9 is fixedly connected to the vertical shaft 8. A water pump 10 is fixedly installed on the side of the cylinder 1, and a pipe 11 is connected to and fixedly installed at the discharge end of the water pump 10. A guide pipe 12 is fixedly installed on the top plate 5, penetrating the top plate 5, and the other end of the guide pipe 12 is inserted into the pipe 11. The blade assembly includes multiple blades 13 arranged in a circumferential array. The blades 13 are fixedly connected to the vertical shaft 8 and located inside the cylinder 1.

[0026] The inlet pipe of the water pump 10 is connected to the water source. The water pump 10 pumps water into the pipe 11, and then guides it into the cylinder 1 through the guide pipe 12. Then, milk powder is added into the cylinder 1. The servo motor 9 drives the blades 13 to rotate. The blades 13 mix the milk powder and water to obtain milk suitable for lambs. During the milk settling process, the servo motor 9 intermittently drives the blades 13 to rotate. The blades 13 intermittently mix the milk to prevent sedimentation due to prolonged settling.

[0027] The lower end of cylinder 1 is designed in a funnel shape, allowing for more complete drainage of the liquid inside. The outside of cylinder 1 is wrapped with an insulating cotton layer. By adding hot water into cylinder 1, the temperature of the milk is made more suitable for lambs to drink, and the insulating cotton layer keeps the milk inside cylinder 1 warm.

[0028] A sealing ring is provided at the connection between the guide pipe 12 and the pipe 11 to improve the sealing performance between the guide pipe 12 and the pipe 11. A pressure relief port 6 is provided on the top plate 5.

[0029] By lifting the top plate 5 upwards, the top plate 5 can be removed from the cylinder 1, the slot 4 can be separated from the block 7, and the lower end of the guide pipe 12 can be separated from the upper end of the pipe 11. The vertical shaft 8 and the blade 13 can be taken out from the cylinder 1, which facilitates the cleaning of the inside of the cylinder 1 and the blade 13.

[0030] A screw conveyor 14 is fixedly installed on the cylinder 1. The discharge end of the screw conveyor 14 is connected to the inner cavity of the cylinder 1. A hopper 15 is fixedly installed on the screw conveyor 14, and the lower end of the hopper 15 is connected to the inner cavity of the screw conveyor 14. Milk powder is added into the hopper 15, and the milk powder in the hopper 15 falls into the screw conveyor 14, which then transports the milk powder into the cylinder 1.

[0031] A liquid level detector for detecting the liquid level inside the cylinder 1 is installed on the cylinder 1. A controller 16 is fixedly installed on the outside of the cylinder 1. The screw conveyor 14 and the water pump 10 are both electrically connected to the controller 16. The controller 16 is used to control the operation of the screw conveyor 14 and the water pump 10.

[0032] The controller 16 controls the motor speed or start / stop time of the screw conveyor 14, thereby controlling the milk powder delivery volume. The controller 16 also adjusts the power or start / stop time of the water pump to control the water inlet volume of the cylinder 1. A level detector monitors the liquid level in the cylinder 1 in real time (indirectly reflecting the milk volume) and transmits the liquid level data to the controller 16 as an electrical signal. The controller 16 receives the signal from the level detector and controls the start / stop or power of the screw conveyor 14 and the water pump 10 according to preset parameters (such as the target liquid level and the milk powder-to-water ratio). Through the linkage between the level detector and the controller 16, automatic milk powder and water mixing is achieved, reducing manual intervention. Precise control of the screw conveyor 14 and the water pump 10 ensures a stable milk concentration.
