Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of equipment for feed processing, and in particular to feed processing ingredient bins. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional feed processing, the feed mixing silo is a key link for the temporary storage and transfer of raw materials. The state of the materials inside directly affects the quality of subsequent production. When the pre-mixed feed enters the feed mixing silo, as the storage time increases, the materials in the silo will gradually show obvious particle grading. Smaller particles with higher specific gravity will continue to settle downwards through the gaps between materials, while larger particles with lower specific gravity will remain in the middle and upper layers due to greater settling resistance, forming a "coarse on top and fine on the bottom" stratification. In addition, the stratification caused by long-term storage may form a dense layer of small particles at the bottom of the silo, which not only affects the smoothness of unloading, but may also cause mold due to material accumulation.

[0003] When the material in the silo is stratified, the large particles in the upper layer gather towards the discharge port under the action of gravity. The large particles easily support each other at the edge of the outlet to form a ring arch, while the small particles fill the gaps in the arch. Under the combined action of the internal friction, cohesion and friction of the material and the silo wall, a stable "material arch bridge" is formed. This arch bridge can withstand the pressure of the material above without collapsing, which would cause the discharge port to be completely blocked or the flow rate to decrease sharply.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a feed processing and batching bin in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A feed processing batching bin includes a batching bin comprising a conical bin. An agitation mechanism is installed inside the conical bin. The agitation mechanism includes a motor. A straight rod is fixedly connected to the bottom output end of the motor via a coupling. Two crossbars are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the straight rod. A mixing mechanism is installed at the bottom of the straight rod, and the mixing mechanism includes a first propeller blade. A feeding mechanism is installed at the top of the straight rod, and the feeding mechanism includes a chute formed at the top of the conical bin. A discharge mechanism is installed at the bottom of the conical bin.

[0008] Preferably, a protective ring is installed on the outer wall of the conical bin, a discharge port is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conical bin, and a bin cover is installed at the bottom of the conical bin.

[0009] Preferably, a scraper is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the straight rod, and an elastic scraper is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the conical chamber.

[0010] Preferably, a thin rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first propeller blade, and a second propeller blade is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the thin rod.

[0011] Preferably, the surface of the bin cover has two feed inlets, the bottom of the bin cover is equipped with a disc, the outer wall of the disc is equipped with a long plate, the surface of the long plate is equipped with a handle, and the handle moves within the inner wall of the chute.

[0012] Preferably, the discharge mechanism includes a valve installed on the inner wall of the discharge port. The valve includes a fixed rod, which passes through the inner wall and is connected to a transmission rod. Two valve bodies are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the transmission rod, and the outer walls of the valve bodies are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed rod.

[0013] Preferably, the discharge mechanism further includes two air inlet pipes, and a vibration assembly is installed inside the air inlet pipe. The vibration assembly includes a long rod, which is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the transmission rod. A spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the long rod. A control assembly is installed on the other side of the transmission rod. The control assembly includes a spring. A switch piece is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission rod. A Y-shaped tube is fixedly connected to the surface of the air inlet pipe.

[0014] Preferably, the discharge mechanism further includes a flow guide, which includes a limiting shell. The inner wall of the limiting shell is slidably connected with a plurality of limiting strips, and an air outlet valve is fixedly connected between the plurality of limiting strips. A limiting ring is installed on the surface of the air outlet valve.

[0015] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] When using this equipment, the operator first holds the handle, and the guide action of the slide groove drives the long plate to rotate along the surface of the disc. The rotation angle of the long plate is adjustable. When the long plate is completely offset from the feed inlet, the feed inlet is fully open. Then, the pre-processed feed is added into the mixing bin from the feed inlet. After the feeding is completed, the handle is rotated to reset the long plate and close the feed inlet. This design can disperse the material drop points and avoid local compaction caused by concentrated feeding. It is especially suitable for batch addition of multiple raw materials.

[0017] After the feed is added, the motor is started. The motor output transmits torque to the straight rod through a coupling. The rotation of the straight rod first drives the two horizontally mounted crossbars to make a circular motion, forming an annular mixing area with a diameter that matches the inner diameter of the upper part of the conical hopper. At the same time, the scraper scrapes the feed adhering to the inner wall of the feeding hopper and then collides with the elastic scraper to remove the residual feed adhering to the scraper. As the straight rod continues to rotate, the mixing mechanism connected to its bottom enters a high-efficiency working state: the first propeller blade tilts upward and generates an upward thrust when rotating, which transports the material in the lower layer of the conical hopper upward along the hopper wall, forming a "bottom material overturning upward" convection circulation. Multi-dimensional mixing can make the feed achieve rapid and uniform distribution, solving the problems of many dead corners and low mixing efficiency in traditional feeding hoppers, and providing a uniform material foundation for the stability of the subsequent discharge stage.

[0018] During the unloading stage at the discharge port, to avoid material blockage problems in traditional structures, this equipment connects a high-pressure air pump to the Y-shaped pipe upstream of the discharge port. A diversion valve splits the compressed gas into two synergistic paths. One path delivers gas through a conduit to the control component, where the airflow impacts the arc-shaped surface of the switch plate, generating a clockwise rotational torque. The switch plate is rigidly connected to the transmission rod, and its rotation directly drives the transmission rod to rotate synchronously, causing the two valve bodies to rotate along the axis of the fixed rod, thus opening the discharge port. The spring is compressed and stores energy by the switch plate, providing reset power for subsequent valve closure and preventing material backflow. The other path delivers gas directly to the vibration component at the bottom of the conical chamber through the inlet pipe. The high-pressure airflow is ejected along the axial air passage of the long rod, impacting the spring plate and causing it to vibrate at high frequency, thus vibrating the valve. Simultaneously, the high-pressure airflow pushes up the outlet valve, causing it to diffuse outwards, accelerating the discharge of internal feed. At the end of the discharge process, any remaining feed on the inner wall is cleaned, ensuring a stable columnar flow of material, preventing downstream equipment overload due to flow rate fluctuations, and significantly reducing the labor intensity of manual unblocking.

[0033] 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.

[0034] like Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, this utility model provides:

[0035] The feed processing batching bin includes a batching bin 10, which includes a conical bin 11. A stirring mechanism 20 is installed inside the conical bin 11. The stirring mechanism 20 includes a motor 21. A straight rod 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom output end of the motor 21 via a coupling. Two crossbars 23 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the straight rod 22. A mixing mechanism 30 is installed at the bottom of the straight rod 22. The mixing mechanism 30 includes a first propeller blade 31. A feeding mechanism 40 is installed at the top of the straight rod 22. The feeding mechanism 40 includes a chute 44 opened at the top of the conical bin 11. A discharging mechanism 50 is installed at the bottom of the conical bin 11.

[0036] This design uses the motor 21 of the stirring mechanism 20 to drive the straight rod 22 and the cross rod 23 to form a three-dimensional stirring with the first propeller blade 31 of the mixing mechanism 30, thereby achieving three-dimensional mixing of materials, greatly improving uniformity, and avoiding the traditional stratification problem. The chute 44 of the feeding mechanism 40, together with the handle, adjusts the angle of the long plate, which can disperse the material drop point and prevent local compaction caused by concentrated feeding. It is suitable for batch addition of multiple raw materials, and the operation is flexible and can reduce human error.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a protective ring 12 is installed on the outer wall of the conical bin 11, a discharge port 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conical bin 11, and a bin cover 14 is installed on the bottom of the conical bin 11.

[0038] The protective ring 12 is installed on the outer wall of the conical silo 11. It can enhance the rigidity of the silo structure, disperse the radial vibration force generated by the stirring mechanism 20 during operation, prevent the silo wall from deforming or the weld from cracking due to long-term vibration, extend the service life of the conical silo 11, and at the same time reduce the direct friction between the silo and external equipment, thus playing a protective role.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a scraper 24 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the straight rod 22, and an elastic scraper 25 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the conical chamber 11.

[0040] When the scraper 24 rotates with the straight rod 22, it can actively scrape off the thicker layer of material adhering to the bin wall. The combination of the two greatly reduces the amount of material residue on the bin wall, avoiding mold or cross-contamination caused by long-term retention.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a thin rod 32 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first propeller blade 31, and a second propeller blade 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the thin rod 32.

[0042] The first propeller blade 31 and the second propeller blade 33 push the material upward, forming a strong vertical convection circulation with the material's own gravity, which fully mixes materials of different heights and effectively eliminates the stratification phenomenon of traditional single-spiral mixing.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the surface of the bin cover 14 has two feed inlets 41, the bottom of the bin cover 14 is equipped with a disc 45, the outer wall of the disc 45 is equipped with a long plate 42, the surface of the long plate 42 is equipped with a handle 43, and the handle 43 moves in the inner wall of the slide 44.

[0044] By sliding the handle 43 within the chute 44, the long plate 42 can be rotated along the disc 45, flexibly adjusting the opening and closing of the two feed ports 41. This allows for coordinated adjustment of the flow rate of both ports, adapting to the needs of batch addition or simultaneous feeding of various raw materials.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the discharge mechanism 50 includes a valve 51 installed on the inner wall of the discharge port 13. The valve 51 includes a fixed rod 511. The fixed rod 511 passes through the inner wall and is connected to a transmission rod 512. Two valve bodies 513 are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the transmission rod 512. The outer wall of the valve body 513 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed rod 511.

[0046] When the transmission rod 512 rotates, it drives the two symmetrical valve bodies 513 to rotate synchronously, which can realize the linear adjustment of the opening of the discharge port 13. It can meet the needs of small flow fine unloading and adapt to large flow rapid conveying. With the rigid support of the fixed rod 511, it ensures that the adjustment process is stable and without jamming.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the discharge mechanism 50 also includes two air inlet pipes 52. A vibration component 53 is installed inside the air inlet pipe 52. The vibration component 53 includes a long rod 531, which is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the transmission rod 512. A spring piece 532 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the long rod 531. A control component 54 is installed on the other side of the transmission rod 512. The control component 54 includes a spring 541. A switch piece 542 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission rod 512. A Y-shaped tube 60 is fixedly connected to the surface of the air inlet pipe 52.

[0048] The Y-shaped tube 60 achieves gas diversion. One path drives the switch plate 542 of the control component 54, which in turn opens and closes the valve 51 through the transmission rod 512. The other path is delivered to the vibration component 53 through the air inlet pipe 52, causing the spring plate 532 to drive the long rod 531 to vibrate at high frequency. The two gas paths act synchronously, realizing valve opening and vibration arch breaking in synergy, thus avoiding blockage of the discharge port 13.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the discharge mechanism 50 also includes a flow guide 55, which includes a limiting shell 551. Several limiting strips 554 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting shell 551. An air outlet valve 552 is fixedly connected between the several limiting strips 554. A limiting ring 553 is installed on the surface of the air outlet valve 552.

[0050] The limiting shell 551 provides rigid support for the structure of the flow guide 55. The limiting strip 554, which is slidably connected to the inner wall, can adjust the axial position of the air outlet valve 552 according to the material characteristics, ensuring that the airflow and the material falling trajectory are accurately matched, guiding the material to form a stable columnar flow, and avoiding splashing or deflection during discharge.

[0051] When using this equipment, the operator first holds the handle 43, and the guide action of the slide 44 drives the long plate 42 to rotate along the surface of the disc 45. The rotation angle of the long plate 42 is adjustable. When the long plate 42 is completely offset from the feed inlet 41, the feed inlet 41 is fully open. Then, the pre-processed feed is added into the feed bin 10 from the feed inlet 41. After the feed is added, the handle 43 is rotated to reset the long plate 42, so that the feed inlet 41 is closed. This design can disperse the material drop point and avoid local compaction caused by concentrated feeding. It is especially suitable for batch addition of multiple raw materials.

[0052] After the feed is added, the motor 21 is started. The output of the motor 21 transmits torque to the straight rod 22 through the coupling. The rotation of the straight rod 22 first drives the two horizontally installed crossbars 23 to make a circular motion, forming an annular mixing area with a diameter that matches the inner diameter of the upper part of the conical bin 11. At the same time, the scraper 24 scrapes the feed adhering to the inner wall of the feeding bin and then collides with the elastic scraper 25 to remove the residual feed adhering to the scraper 24. As the straight rod 22 continues to rotate, the mixing mechanism 30 connected to its bottom enters a high-efficiency working state. The first propeller blade 31 tilts upward and generates an upward thrust when rotating, which transports the material in the lower layer of the conical bin 11 upward along the bin wall, forming a convection circulation of "bottom material turning up". Multi-dimensional mixing can make the feed quickly and evenly distributed, solving the problems of many dead corners and low mixing efficiency in traditional feeding bins, and providing a uniform material basis for the stability of the subsequent discharge stage.

[0053] During the unloading stage at discharge port 13, to avoid material blockage problems in traditional structures, this equipment connects a high-pressure air pump at the Y-shaped pipe 60 upstream of the discharge port. A diversion valve divides the compressed gas into two paths for synergistic action. One path is delivered to the control component 54 via a conduit. The airflow impacts the arc-shaped surface of the switch plate 542, generating a clockwise rotational torque. The switch plate 542 is rigidly connected to the transmission rod 512, and its rotation directly drives the transmission rod 512 to rotate synchronously, causing the two valve bodies 513 of the valve 51 to rotate along the axis of the fixed rod 511, thus opening the discharge port 13. The spring 541 is controlled by the switch plate 542. 2. The compressed energy storage provides reset power for subsequent valve closure, preventing material backflow. Another gas path goes directly to the vibration component 53 at the bottom of the conical chamber 11 through the air inlet pipe 52. The high-pressure airflow is ejected along the axial air passage of the long rod 531, impacting the spring 532 to generate high-frequency vibration, causing the valve to vibrate. At the same time, the high-pressure airflow pushes up the air outlet valve 552, causing the high-pressure airflow to spread in all directions, accelerating the discharge of internal feed. At the same time, at the end of the discharge, the remaining feed on the inner wall is cleaned, so that the material forms a stable columnar flow, avoiding downstream equipment overload caused by flow rate fluctuations, and greatly reducing the labor intensity of manual unblocking.

[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
