When the auger rotates and mixes the feed, fibrous feeds (such as straw and hay) are easily entangled on the outer wall of the auger, requiring manual cleaning after machine shutdown, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, affects the continuous operation efficiency of the equipment, and increases the load on the auger, reducing the service life of the equipment. To address this issue, a mixing device for a TMR feed preparation machine is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a mixing device for a total mixed ration (TMR) feed preparation machine, comprising a machine body, an auger disposed inside the machine body, and a cutting assembly disposed inside the machine body outside the auger. The cutting assembly includes a guide frame, which is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the machine body. A servo motor is fixedly installed on the left side of the machine body.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0009] The periphery of the multiple sets of cutting blocks located on the left and right sides is set with bevels.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] The outer periphery of the multiple sets of cutting blades located on the left and right sides is set with bevels.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] The inner side of the multiple sets of cutting blocks is set with an arc-shaped surface and is infinitely close to the outer wall of the auger but does not contact it.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] The slider is slidably connected to the bottom end of the guide frame. Multiple sets of cutting blocks and cutting blades are provided, and the multiple sets of cutting blocks and cutting blades are evenly distributed in a ring array with the center point of the guide ring as the center.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0017] A discharge assembly is provided on the front of the left inner wall of the machine body.

[0029] 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.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a mixing device for a total mixed ration (TMR) feed preparation machine, comprising a body 1, which is the main body of the TMR feed preparation machine mixer. Multiple sets of augers 4 are installed inside to mix the feed. A discharge port is located on the left front surface, and a feed inlet is located on the right side. A drive mechanism is located on the left side to drive the multiple sets of augers 4 to operate and mix the feed. The augers 4 for stirring and mixing the feed are installed inside the body 1. A cutting component 2 is located inside the body 1 outside the augers 4. The cutting component 2 includes a guide frame 21 that provides support and guidance. The guide frame 21 is fixed... A servo motor 22, which drives the threaded rod 23 to rotate, is fixedly installed on the left side of the body 1 and connected to the top of the inner wall of the body 1. The right output shaft of the servo motor 22 passes through the body 1 and is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 23, which is threadedly connected to the guide block 24 and thus drives it to move. The threaded rod 23 is rotatably connected to the middle of the guide frame 21. The bottom of the middle of the threaded rod 23 is slidably connected to the guide block 24, which drives the slider 28 to move. The bottom of the guide block 24 is fixedly connected to the slider 28. The middle of the guide block 24 is fixedly connected to the threaded sleeve, which is threadedly connected to the threaded part of the outer wall of the threaded rod 23.
[0031] Furthermore, a guide rod 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slider 28 to provide support and drive the guide ring 26 to move. A guide ring 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the guide rod 25 to drive multiple sets of cutting blocks 27 and cutting blades 29 to move. Cutting blocks 27 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the guide ring 26 to push and cut the feed wrapped around the outside of the auger 4. Cutting blades 29 are fixedly connected to the top center of each set of cutting blocks 27 to cut the feed wrapped around the outer wall of the auger 4. The guide block 24 and the threaded rod 23 are both designed in a dovetail shape. The arrangement can increase stability during movement. The outer periphery of the multiple sets of cutting blocks 27 located on the left and right sides is set with bevels, and the outer periphery of the multiple sets of cutting blades 29 located on the left and right sides is also set with bevels. The bevels can better cut the feed. The inner side of the multiple sets of cutting blocks 27 is set with arc-shaped surfaces and is infinitely close to the outer wall of the auger 4 but does not contact it. The slider 28 is slidably connected to the bottom end of the guide frame 21. There are multiple sets of cutting blocks 27 and cutting blades 29. The multiple sets of cutting blocks 27 and cutting blades 29 are evenly distributed in a circular array with the center point of the guide ring 26 as the center.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The machine body 1 has a discharge assembly 3 located on the front of the left inner wall. The discharge assembly 3 includes a servo motor 31 that drives the rotating shaft 32 to rotate. The servo motor 31 is fixedly installed on the front of the left side of the machine body 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 31 is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotating shaft 32, which drives multiple sets of rotating plates 33 to rotate. The rotating shaft 32 passes through and is rotatably connected to the left inner wall of the machine body 1. Three sets of rotating plates 33 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 32. All three sets of discharge assemblies 3 are inclined. The three sets of rotating plates 33 are evenly distributed in a circular array with the center point of the rotating shaft 32 as the center. The multiple sets of rotating plates 33 rotate and are located near the discharge port. They can rotate to push the feed out of the discharge port more quickly, prevent the discharge port from being blocked and the discharge from being too slow, and improve the discharge efficiency.
[0033] Working Principle: During operation, first connect the external power supply and switch to the electrical equipment in this device. During the feeding stage, feed enters the device through the feed inlet on the right side of the machine body 1. The drive mechanism on the left side starts, driving multiple sets of augers 4 to operate. The augers 4 rotate, mixing and stirring the feed inside the machine body 1, ensuring uniform mixing of different feed components to meet the requirements of a total mixed ration (TMR). At this time, servo motor 22 starts, and its right output shaft drives the threaded rod 23 to rotate in the middle of the guide frame 21. Because the threaded sleeve in the middle of the guide block 24 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 23, and the guide block 24 and the threaded rod... The middle part of 23 is dovetail-shaped, which allows the guide block 24 to slide left and right along the axis of the threaded rod 23 when the threaded rod 23 rotates. The guide block 24 drives the slider 28 at the bottom to slide at the bottom of the guide frame 21, and at the same time drives the guide rod 25, guide ring 26, cutting block 27 and cutting blade 29 to move together. Multiple sets of cutting blocks 27 and cutting blades 29 arranged in a ring array use the outer inclined surface design to push and cut the feed wrapped around the outside of the auger 4. The inner arc surface is infinitely close to the outer wall of the auger 4 but does not contact it, which can effectively clean the wrapped feed without damaging the auger 4. Once the feed is mixed, the discharge port is opened. At this time, the servo motor 31 starts, and its output shaft drives the rotating shaft 32 to rotate. This causes the three sets of inclined rotating plates 33 fixed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 32 to rotate in a ring around the rotating shaft 32. When the rotating plates 33 rotate, they push the feed near the discharge port toward the discharge port. By using the inclined setting and the thrust generated by the rotation, the feed is quickly discharged from the discharge port, effectively avoiding the problems of discharge port blockage and slow discharge, and improving discharge efficiency.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
