[0036] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant utility model and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0037] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] Please see Figures 1-3 A sheep feed mixing and stirring device includes a cylinder 1. The cylinder 1 has an internal feed chamber 12 with vertical connection and a stirring chamber with a stirring assembly 5. Several feed hoppers 2 with internal and external connection are installed in a ring on the side wall of the feed chamber 12. The stirring assembly 5 includes a stirring shaft 51 and several multi-layered stirring blades 52 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 51. The stirring assembly 5 also includes a stirring motor 54 installed outside the bottom of the cylinder 1. A hollow sprinkler frame 4 is arranged in a circle around the outside of the cylinder 1. The sprinkler frame 4 and the cylinder 1 are connected by several water inlet pipes 41. A discharge pipe 7 is connected to the side wall of the cylinder 1 near the bottom. A filter plate 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the discharge pipe 7 near the side wall of the cylinder 1. A butterfly valve 71 is fixedly installed on the discharge pipe 7.

[0039] In this example, such as Figure 1As shown, the preferred number of water inlet pipes 41 is four, arranged in a ring at equal intervals. The ends of several water inlet pipes 41 that are away from the sprinkler frame 4 extend into the feed chamber 12 and are fixedly connected to the nozzles 42 at the pipe ends. The sprinkler frame 4 and the four nozzles 42 can only be connected through the water inlet pipes 41, so that the water in the sprinkler frame 4 can enter the cylinder 1 through the nozzles 42. The four water inlet pipes 41 can speed up the water filling speed and improve the humidification or cleaning efficiency.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cylinder 1 is equipped with a water pump 3 for providing spraying power to the shower head 42. The outlet of the water pump 3 is connected to the sprinkler frame 4 through a water pipe. The inlet of the water pump 3 is connected to an external water source through an inlet pipe 31. The sprinkler frame 4 is relatively high, so the water pump 3 needs to pump water into the cylinder through the inlet pipe 31 connected to the external water source.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the number of feed hoppers 2 is preferably three, arranged in a ring at equal intervals, and the height of the feed hoppers 2 is greater than the height of the sprinkler frame 4. Multiple ring-shaped feed hoppers 2 at equal intervals can simultaneously feed different feeds, avoiding the tediousness of feeding a single feed in turn and speeding up the mixing efficiency.

[0042] In this example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the number of stirring blades 52 in each layer is preferably four and arranged in a ring at equal intervals. The bottom of the stirring shaft 51 passes through the bottom side wall of the cylinder 1 and is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the stirring motor 54. The stirring shaft 51 is rotatably sleeved on the side wall near the top and fixedly installed in the center of the inner side wall of the top of the cylinder 1. The upper and lower layers and multiple stirring blades 52 in each layer can fully stir various feeds at different heights, while the limiting sleeve 11 ensures that the stirring blades 52 will not hit the inner side wall of the cylinder 1 and cause damage.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, a rubber plate 53 is fixedly installed at the end of the stirring blade 52 away from the stirring shaft 51. The end of the rubber plate 53 away from the stirring blade 52 abuts against the inner wall of the cylinder 1. During the stirring process of the stirring blade 52, some feed residue may adhere to the inner wall of the cylinder 1. The rubber plate 53 abutting against the inner wall of the cylinder 1 can scrape off all these residues to prevent residue and ensure that the feed is fully mixed.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the filter plate 6 has a mesh size of 3mm-5mm, and the outer diameter of the filter plate 6 is matched with the inner diameter of the discharge pipe 7. The side wall of the cylinder 1 near the bottom is also connected to a drain port 9. The drain port 9 is threaded with a sealing cap at the pipe end away from the cylinder 1. Young sheep have weak digestive ability and their feed usually needs to be finer. The filter screen precision needs to be appropriately improved. The filter plate 6 can meet the fine filtration of feed, ensuring that young sheep and adult sheep can be fed at the same time, reducing the cost increase caused by secondary filtration. For large particles of feed or dirt that cannot be filtered, the sealing cap can be opened to discharge them.

[0045] It is worth mentioning that, such as Figure 1 As shown, a moving device 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylinder 1. The moving device 8 includes several support blocks 81 fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder 1. The number of support blocks 81 is at least three and they are arranged in a ring at equal intervals. The bottom of the support blocks 81 is fixedly connected to the same support frame 82. The bottom of the support frame 82 is rotatably connected to several casters 83. The number of casters 83 is preferably four and they are arranged in a matrix. In the process of feeding sheep, it would be extremely inconvenient if the equipment could only be fixed in place. The support frame 82 and the casters 83 work together to facilitate the flexible movement of the equipment at various processing points to meet the feeding needs of the sheep.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the water pump 3, stirring motor 54, butterfly valve 71 and other components involved in this utility model are all general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. In the spare parts of this device, all the above-mentioned electrical components, which refer to power elements, electrical components and the matching controller and power supply, are connected by wires. The specific connection method should refer to the working principle in this utility model. The electrical connection between each electrical component is completed in the order of operation. The detailed connection method is a technology known in the art.

[0047] Working principle: When using the sheep feed mixing and stirring equipment in this embodiment, first turn on the water pump 3 and the stirring motor 54, and put various feeds into the feeding chamber 12 at the same time through the feeding hopper 2 for preliminary mixing. Under the action of gravity, various feeds and water enter the stirring component 5. After the feed and water are fully mixed and stirred by the stirring blade 52, open the butterfly valve 71, and the feed is discharged through the discharge pipe 7 after being filtered by the filter plate 6.

[0048] When the sheep feed mixing and stirring equipment of this embodiment needs to be cleaned, simply turn on the water inlet pump 3 and the stirring motor 54, close the butterfly valve 71, and the water sprayed by the sprinkler 42 will form a vortex through the rotating stirring blade 52 to clean the inner wall of the cylinder 1 and the stirring blade 52. After cleaning, turn off the water inlet pump 3 and the stirring motor 54, open the butterfly valve 71, and the sewage can be discharged through the discharge pipe 7.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in this application is not limited to the technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above-described features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in this application.
