Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically to a licorice stem and leaf mixing machine for feeding cattle and sheep. Background Technology

[0002] Cattle and sheep feeding is a core aspect of livestock production, directly affecting animal health, growth rate, reproductive performance, and overall profitability. The licorice stem and leaf mixer for cattle and sheep is a roughage processing device specifically designed to process common roughages in cattle and sheep feed, such as hay, crop straw, silage, and vine-like feeds, thereby improving roughage utilization.

[0003] Application No. 202321388511.6 describes a livestock feed mixer, comprising a first tank, with a second tank connected to the bottom of the first tank. A spray assembly is installed inside the second tank. A feed hopper is connected to the outside of the first tank. An outlet is installed inside the second tank, with a movable door on one side of the outlet. The spray assembly includes a box located outside the second tank, with a water pump inside the box. One end of the water pump is connected to a spray pipe via a pipeline, and a nozzle is connected to one side of the spray pipe. A mixing tank is installed inside the second tank, with one end of the nozzle connected to one side of the mixing tank. This livestock feed mixer solves the problem that existing livestock feed mixers often require multiple manual additions of water to the feed during the mixing process to improve the mixing effect, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and affects processing efficiency, resulting in low practicality.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned livestock feed mixer improves the mixing effect by automatically adding water, the raw materials are not cut or crushed when they enter the mixing equipment and are directly mixed in the mixing area. However, the untreated dry grass stems and leaves are large in volume and have poor fluidity, which can easily lead to extremely uneven mixing, thus affecting the mixing quality of the raw materials. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a licorice stem and leaf mixing machine for feeding cattle and sheep, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a licorice stem and leaf mixing machine for cattle and sheep feeding, comprising a box, a crushing box, a feeding pipe, a cutting mechanism, a crushing mechanism, and a dispersing mechanism. The crushing box is installed at the top of the outer wall of the box, and the feeding pipe is connected to the middle of the top of the crushing box. A mixing tank is installed on the inner wall of the box, and a water inlet pipe is connected to the middle of the outer wall of the box. The cutting mechanism includes a reciprocating cylinder connected to the top of the crushing box, and the output ends of the reciprocating cylinder are connected to a base. Slicing blades are installed on both sides of the middle of the base, and the slicing blades can cut licorice stems and leaves. The crushing mechanism includes a servo motor connected to the middle of the outer wall of the crushing box, and the output end of the servo motor is connected to a transmission gear. A driven gear is meshed with the outer wall of the transmission gear, and crushing rollers are connected to the transmission gear, the driven gear, and the crushing roller.

[0007] The licorice stems and leaves entering the feed pipe are cut by a cutting mechanism; the cut licorice stems and leaves are crushed by a crushing mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the feed tube has movable grooves on both sides of its outer wall, into which the slicing blade extends, and a partition plate is connected in the middle of the feed tube.

[0009] The licorice stems and leaves are cut by the reciprocating movement of a slicing knife.

[0010] Preferably, a fixing rod is slidably connected to both sides inside the base, and one side of the outer wall of the fixing rod is connected to the top of the crushing box through a support seat.

[0011] The base is guided to move smoothly in a straight line by setting a fixed rod.

[0012] Preferably, the crushing roller is located below the feed pipe and can rotate relative to crush licorice stems and leaves.

[0013] The falling licorice stems and leaves are crushed by rotating the crushing rollers relative to each other.

[0014] Preferably, a drive motor is installed at the middle of the bottom of the mixing tank, and the output end of the drive motor is connected to a rotating column, and an equally spaced stirring rod is sleeved on the middle of the outer wall of the rotating column.

[0015] The licorice stems and leaves are mixed with the raw materials by rotating the stirring rod.

[0016] Preferably, the dispersing mechanism includes a limiting seat connected to the top of the rotating column, and a distributing disc is welded to the top of the outer wall of the limiting seat, and the distributing disc is conical.

The bottom of the outer wall of the fixed inclined block is connected to the inner wall of the mixing tank through a support plate. The bottom of the transmission inclined block and the top of the fixed inclined block are provided with corresponding inclined surfaces.

[0019] The material distribution disc rotates and moves up and down simultaneously through the cooperation of the transmission inclined block and the fixed inclined block.

[0020] As can be seen from the above, the licorice stem and leaf mixing machine for cattle and sheep feeding provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects.

[0021] 1. By setting a cutting mechanism, the licorice stems and leaves entering the feed pipe are cut, thereby shortening the fiber length, avoiding tangling and clumping, and reducing the risk of long fiber entanglement.

[0022] 2. By setting up a crushing mechanism to crush the cut licorice stems and leaves, the particles of the cut licorice stems and leaves are made finer, which facilitates subsequent dispersion processing.

[0023] 3.

[0032] 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.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution comprising: a housing 1, a crushing box 2, a feed pipe 3, a cutting mechanism 9, a pulverizing mechanism 10, and a dispersing mechanism 11. The crushing box 2 is installed at the top of the outer wall of the housing 1, and the feed pipe 3 is connected to the middle of the top of the crushing box 2. A mixing tank 4 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 1, and a water inlet pipe 8 is connected to the middle of the outer wall of the housing 1. The cutting mechanism 9 includes a reciprocating cylinder 901 connected to the top of the crushing box 2, and bases 902 are connected to the output ends on both sides of the reciprocating cylinder 901. Slicing blades 905 are installed on both sides of the middle of the base 902, and the slicing blades 905 can cut licorice stems and leaves. The pulverizing mechanism 10 includes a servo motor 1001 connected to the middle of the outer wall of the crushing box 2, and a transmission gear 1002 is connected to the output end of the servo motor 1001. The outer wall of the transmission gear 1002 is meshed with the driven gear 1003, and the transmission gear 1002, the driven gear 1003, and the crushing roller 1004 are all connected to the crushing roller 1004. Movable grooves are opened on both sides of the outer wall of the feed pipe 3, and the slicing blade 905 extends into them. The inner sides of the base 902 are slidably connected with the fixed rod 903, and the fixed rod 903 can guide the base 902 to move linearly. One side of the outer wall of the fixed rod 903 is connected to the top of the crushing box 2 through the support seat. The crushing roller 1004 is located below the feed pipe 3 and can rotate relative to crush the licorice stems and leaves. The bottom center of the mixing tank 4 is equipped with a drive motor 5, and the output end of the drive motor 5 is connected to the rotating column 6. The outer center of the rotating column 6 is sleeved with equally spaced stirring rods 7.

[0034] In practice, the box 1 is placed in a designated location in the factory beforehand. Then, the licorice stems and leaves for feeding cattle and sheep are poured into the mixing tank 4 through the feed pipe 3. The drive motor 5 is then started to drive the rotating column 6 to rotate, which in turn causes the stirring rod 7 to rotate and mix the licorice stems and leaves. During this process, water is added to the mixing tank 4 through the water inlet pipe 8, thereby completing the mixing operation of the licorice stems and leaves for feeding cattle and sheep.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, a partition plate is connected to the middle of the feed tube 3. The slicing blade 905 will contact the partition plate. The surface of the partition plate is covered with a rubber layer to prevent wear on the blade.

[0036] See Figures 1-4 After the licorice stems and leaves enter the feed pipe 3, the reciprocating cylinder 901 is connected to the base 902. The extension and contraction of the reciprocating cylinder 901 will drive the base 902 to move back and forth. At this time, the base 902 is guided to move linearly by the fixing rod 903, which in turn drives the slicing knife 905 to move back and forth. As the slicing knife 905 moves back and forth, it will cut the licorice stems and leaves, so that the licorice stems and leaves are processed into a specified length before entering the next process. Thus, by setting the cutting mechanism 9, the fiber length is shortened, avoiding entanglement and clumping, thereby reducing the risk of long fiber entanglement.

[0037] See Figures 5-6 In specific implementation, when the licorice stems and leaves are cut and enter the system, the servo motor 1001 is started in advance to drive the transmission gear 1002 to rotate. Then, the rotation of the transmission gear 1002 drives the driven gear 1003 to reverse. Since both the transmission gear 1002 and the driven gear 1003 are connected to the crushing roller 1004, the crushing roller 1004 rotates relative to each other to crush the falling licorice stems and leaves. Then, the crushing mechanism 10 refines the licorice stem and leaf particles, which facilitates subsequent dispersion processing.

[0038] See Figure 7 Because the top of the rotating column 6 has an active cavity corresponding to the limiting seat 1101, the rotation of the rotating column 6 will drive the limiting seat 1101 to rotate together. Since the limiting seat 1101 is cylindrical and has strip-shaped protrusions welded on both sides of the cylinder, while the rotating column 6 drives the limiting seat 1101 to rotate, the limiting seat 1101 can also move vertically along the rotating column 6. Then, the rotation of the limiting seat 1101 will drive the distribution plate 1102 to rotate. Since the distribution plate 1102 is conical, the crushed raw materials will disperse to the surrounding area when they come into contact with the distribution plate 1102. The centrifugal force when the distribution plate 1102 rotates will cause the contacted raw materials to fly in all directions, thereby dispersing the raw materials into the mixing tank 4 and preventing the raw materials from concentrating.

[0039] Because the bottom end of the transmission inclined block 1103 and the top end of the fixed inclined block 1104 have corresponding inclined surfaces, and because the bottom end of the outer wall of the fixed inclined block 1104 is connected to the inner wall of the mixing tank 4 through a support plate, the fixed inclined block 1104 is fixed at this time. When the transmission inclined block 1103 contacts the fixed inclined block 1104, it will generate an upward thrust on the distributing plate 1102, causing the limiting seat 1101 to move upward along the rotating column 6. When the transmission inclined block 1103 and the fixed inclined block 1104 are disengaged, the distributing plate 1102 will move upward. The material tray 1102 moves downward due to gravity and the impact of the falling raw materials. As the rotating column 6 drives the material distribution tray 1102 to rotate, the material distribution tray 1102 also moves up and down. The stroke of the material distribution tray 1102 does not exceed the length of the limit seat 1101, which causes the raw materials in contact with the material distribution tray 1102 to be scattered. This accelerates the dispersion of materials through the dispersion mechanism 11, avoids local accumulation, and improves the uniformity of mixing.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
