Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of feeding-related equipment technology, specifically to a feeding dosing box and a feeding dosing device including the feeding dosing box. Background Technology

[0002] Animal husbandry is a vital and fundamental economic industry in my country, benefiting both the nation and its people. With rising standards and optimized production efficiency, automated feeding systems are becoming increasingly common in modern animal husbandry. In animal husbandry, not only is feed provided to livestock, but medication is also administered periodically or multiple times depending on their growth stage. Currently, feed and medication are mixed in mixing tanks with multiple mixing blades to ensure even mixing with water. However, these multiple mixing blades occupy a significant amount of space, greatly affecting the effective volume of the tank and the amount of material dispensed each time. Tanks with multiple mixing blades also have a complex structure and are relatively heavy.

[0003] Furthermore, regarding drug preparation, since the drugs are all in powder form, many of them will stick to the blades as clumps when stirred by the blades. This can affect the accurate ratio of drugs to water, make it difficult to clean the blades, and cause operational inconvenience. Additionally, the difficulty in cleaning the blades can affect production efficiency and may also affect subsequent drug preparation. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the embodiments of this application aim to provide a feeding and dosing box that removes the stirring blades but still ensures the uniformity of drug mixing, so as to solve the problems of the stirring blades affecting the amount of feed and being difficult to clean, as well as causing the overall structure of the box to be complex and heavy.

[0005] This application provides a feeding and dosing box, including a medicine tank, wherein the medicine tank is provided with a nozzle for liquid inflow, and the nozzle includes at least a horizontal nozzle;

[0006] The outlet of the horizontal nozzle faces the inner wall of the medicine tank, and the angle between the axial direction of the outlet and the radial direction of the medicine tank does not exceed 15°.

[0007] In one possible implementation, an inclined nozzle is also provided, the outlet of which is inclined downward and forms an angle with both the radial and axial directions of the medicine tank.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the inclined nozzle is disposed above the horizontal nozzle, and the outlet of the inclined nozzle is provided with a spiral nozzle.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the axial direction of the horizontal nozzle outlet is parallel to the radial direction of the medicine tank.

[0010] And / or, the angle between the axial direction of the inclined nozzle outlet and the axial direction of the medicine tank is 30°-45°.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the medicine tank is provided with a discharge port and a circulation return pipe connected to the discharge port;

[0012] The other end of the circulation return pipe extends into the medicine tank and is equipped with the horizontal spray pipe and / or the inclined spray pipe.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the medicine tank is provided with a feeding port and a water inlet, and the water inlet is connected to a water inlet pipe and a water inlet valve provided on the water inlet pipe.

[0014] In one possible implementation, a feeding pipe is also provided, which is connected to the circulation return pipe and located downstream of the booster pump. A feeding valve is provided on the feeding pipe, and a return valve is provided on the circulation return pipe.

[0015] The circulating return pipe includes a connecting pipe section and a return pipe section. One end of the connecting pipe section is connected to the inlet of the booster pump, and the other end is connected to the outlet. The return pipe section is connected to...

[0016] In one possible implementation, a drain pipe is also provided, which is connected to the discharge port of the medicine tank and is equipped with a drain valve.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the medicine tank is further provided with a liquid level sensor, which is configured to limit the maximum liquid level for quantitative liquid filling and to ensure that the maximum liquid level is spaced from the top wall of the medicine tank.

[0018] This application also provides a feeding and dispensing device, including a fixed frame and a dosing box disposed on the fixed frame, wherein the dosing box is a feeding dosing box as described in any of the preceding claims.

[0019] The feeding and medication dosing box provided in this application does not have stirring blades inside. Instead, it uses a horizontally or nearly horizontally positioned nozzle to spray liquid onto the inner wall of the box. Continuous spraying creates a vortex in the liquid, causing it to rotate and thus achieving a stirring effect, uniformly mixing materials such as powdered medications with the liquid. In this way, mixing of liquids and materials can be achieved without stirring blades. The nozzle occupies very little space, resulting in a simple structure, significantly increasing the effective volume inside the box, improving the feed capacity per box, and simplifying the structure, manufacturing, and transportation of the dosing box, while reducing the overall weight. Furthermore, it facilitates cleaning of the box interior, solving the problem of difficult-to-clean stirring blades. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1-3 This application provides a feeding and medication dosing box, including a medication tank 10. The medication tank 10 is provided with a nozzle for liquid inflow, and the nozzle includes at least a horizontal nozzle 131. The outlet of the horizontal nozzle 131 faces the inner wall of the medication tank 10, and the angle between the axial direction of the outlet and the radial direction of the medication tank 10 does not exceed 15°, that is, the axial direction of the outlet and the radial direction of the medication tank 10 are parallel, substantially parallel, or have a slight angle. When the horizontal nozzle 131 sprays liquid, the liquid directly impacts the inner wall of the medication tank 10, and then flows towards the center of the box. Continuous spraying causes the liquid inside the box to form a vortex and rotate, thereby achieving agitation.

[0027] The feeding and medication dosing box provided in this application does not have stirring blades inside the box. Instead, it uses a horizontally or nearly horizontally set nozzle 131 to spray liquid towards the inner wall of the box, causing the liquid to form a vortex and rotate, thereby achieving a stirring effect to uniformly mix materials such as powdered drugs and liquids. This design eliminates the need for stirring blades, achieving mixing of liquids and materials. The nozzle occupies very little space, has a simple structure, significantly increases the effective volume inside the box, increases the feed capacity per box, simplifies the structure, manufacturing, and transportation of the dosing box, and reduces the overall weight. At the same time, it makes it easier to clean the inside of the box, solving the problem of stirring blades being difficult to clean thoroughly.

[0028] Preferably, the axial direction of the liquid outlet of the horizontal nozzle 131 is parallel to the radial direction of the medicine tank 10; in this case, the effect of liquid forming a vortex is better.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the medicine tank 10 is also equipped with an inclined nozzle 132. The outlet of the inclined nozzle 132 is inclined downward, forming an angle with both the radial and axial directions of the medicine tank 10. The combination of the inclined nozzle 132 and the horizontal nozzle 131 can promote the rapid formation of vortices and enhance the stirring effect. At the same time, the inclined nozzle 132 can powerfully impact the powder suspended on the water surface, preventing the formation of clumps and promoting the uniform mixing of medicine powder and water.

[0030] In some embodiments, the inclined nozzle 132 is positioned above the horizontal nozzle 131, and the outlet of the inclined nozzle 132 is provided with a spiral nozzle 133. The spiral nozzle 133 is a hollow cone shape with a conical inner cavity, and not only is there a single nozzle at its axial end, but multiple nozzles are also formed along the axial direction on the conical surface. The nozzles on the conical surface can extend in a spiral shape. Specifically, the spiral nozzle 133 can be an inner spiral nozzle 133 or an outer spiral nozzle 133; both types of spiral nozzles 133 can produce a solid cone-shaped or hollow cone-shaped spray, with a spray angle typically between 60 degrees and 170 degrees.

[0031] The spiral nozzle 133 creates a rotating liquid flow when sprayed, achieving uniform spraying. Furthermore, since the spiral nozzle 133 is positioned above the horizontal nozzle 131, its spray range covers the liquid surface, as well as the inner and top walls of the tank above the liquid level. This allows it to strike suspended powder on the liquid surface, causing it to sink and mix. It also sprays the inner and top walls of the tank above the liquid level, washing away powder adhering to the walls and mixing it with water. This avoids affecting the final mixing effect and ratio, and also prevents excessive powder residue at the top of the tank.

[0032] Preferably, the angle between the axial direction of the outlet of the inclined nozzle 132 and the axial direction of the medicine tank 10 is 30°-45°. This allows the spiral nozzle 133 to spray more effectively onto the top wall of the tank, washing away some of the powder that has adhered to the top wall of the tank due to the stirring of the liquid.

[0033] When the horizontal nozzle 131 and the inclined nozzle 132 are configured together, they can be connected to the same inlet pipe. Both the horizontal and inclined nozzles 132 can be installed on the water inlet pipe 11.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the medicine tank 10 is equipped with a discharge port and a circulation return pipe 13 connected to the discharge port. The other end of the circulation return pipe 13 extends into the medicine tank 10 and is equipped with a horizontal spray pipe 131 and / or an inclined spray pipe 132. The circulation return pipe 13 allows the liquid in the tank to flow from the discharge port into the return pipe and then back into the tank. This circulation significantly enhances the mixing uniformity of materials such as powdered medicine and water, and effectively prevents the powdered medicine from forming clumps, thus improving the quality of the prepared medicine solution. The horizontal spray pipe 131 and / or inclined spray pipe 132 at the end of the circulation return pipe 13 prevents the lack of stirring and rinsing during the circulation process. Since the circulation time is definitely longer than the time required to add water to the tank, stirring and rinsing can be carried out for a longer period of time until the medicine solution is prepared and the circulation stops. In this way, the quality of the prepared medicine solution can be effectively improved.

[0035] The medicine tank 10 is equipped with a feeding port 101 and a water inlet. The water inlet is connected to a water inlet pipe 11 and a water inlet valve. In this way, the water inlet pipe 11 can be directly connected to an external water inlet pipe to add the required amount of water into the tank.

[0036] The medicine tank 10 is also equipped with a feeding pipe 12, which is connected to the circulation return pipe 13 and located downstream of the booster pump 14. The feeding pipe 12 is equipped with a feeding valve, and the circulation return pipe 13 is equipped with a return valve.

[0037] Specifically, the circulating return pipe 13 includes a connecting pipe section and a return pipe section. One end of the connecting pipe section is connected to the inlet of the booster pump 14, and the other end is connected to the outlet. One end of the return pipe section is connected to the outlet of the booster pump 14, and the other end extends into the tank and is connected to the spray pipe. One end of the feeding pipe 12 is connected to the return pipe section, and the other end is used to connect to an external pipeline to transport the prepared mixture, such as medicine solution, to the breeding shed.

[0038] After the prepared mixture is discharged, the medicine tank 10 needs to be cleaned. Therefore, in some embodiments, the medicine tank 10 is also equipped with a drain pipe 15, which is connected to the discharge port of the medicine tank 10 and is equipped with a drain valve. In this way, the wastewater after cleaning the tank is discharged through the dedicated drain pipe 15 and will not occupy the feed pipe 12.

[0039] A main discharge pipe can be connected to the discharge port of the medicine tank 10. The circulation return pipe 13 and the sewage discharge pipe 15 can both be connected to the main discharge pipe. The feeding pipe 12 is connected to the circulation return pipe 13 and is downstream of the booster pump 14. Thus, the feeding and circulation return functions can share a single booster pump 14, eliminating the need for two pumps, simplifying the structure and reducing costs.

[0040] In some embodiments, the medicine tank 10 is also equipped with a liquid level sensor, which is configured to limit the maximum liquid level to ensure quantitative liquid intake and to maintain a gap between the maximum liquid level and the top wall of the medicine tank 10. This configuration allows for quantitative water intake, limiting the fixed amount of water required for each dispensing, and ensuring precise mixing with the medicine powder. It also prevents the liquid from filling the entire tank, which would hinder rotation and stirring, and prevents medicine powder from adhering to the top wall and becoming difficult to rinse off.

[0041] An embodiment of this application also provides a feeding and dispensing device, including a fixed frame and a dosing box disposed on the fixed frame, wherein the dosing box is the feeding dosing box described in any of the above embodiments. This feeding and dispensing device thus possesses the structure and corresponding beneficial effects described in the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated upon here.
