Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed mixing technology, and in particular to a feeder with a mixing function. Background Technology
[0002] Pigs in pig farms are mainly fed a mixture of pig feed and bran (coarse and fine). Currently, feeding is primarily done manually by mixing the feed. Some pig farms use feeders, but this has the following drawbacks: before the feed is mixed, if the feed sticks and accumulates in the feeder, the feeder cannot break up the clumps, which is detrimental to the pigs' ability to eat during subsequent feedings.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a feeder with a mixing function to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feeder with a stirring function, which can stir the feed in the container, so that the feed is fully and evenly mixed, avoids the feed from settling and clumping in the container, and facilitates the pigs to eat quickly during subsequent feeding.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows: A feeder with a stirring function includes: a feed container, a feeding tray, and a feeding assembly. The bottom of the feed container is provided with a discharge port, and the feeding tray is movably disposed below the discharge port. The feeding assembly includes a mounting beam and a feeding disc that is flipped and connected to the mounting beam. The mounting beam is horizontally installed inside the feed container, and both the mounting beam and the feeding disc are located inside the feed container. The feeding disc can flip and move up and down on the mounting beam to prevent the feed from settling and clumping inside the feed container when it is being fed.
[0006] Preferably, the feeding assembly further includes a mounting beam, a central rod, and a connecting rod. The mounting beam is fixed horizontally inside the material container. The driving component is mounted on the mounting beam. The central rod is connected to the driving component and extends towards the bottom of the material container. The connecting rod is connected to the central rod, and the feeding piece is mounted vertically on the connecting rod.
[0007] Preferably, the central rod is distributed along the central axis of the container and connected to the rotating shaft of the drive component. The central rod passes through the middle section of the connecting rod, the connecting rod is distributed in a horizontal direction, and the connecting rod is connected to the central rod.
[0008] Preferably, the feeder with stirring function further includes a frame, and the feed container is suspended and fixedly installed on the frame.
[0009] Preferably, the feeder with stirring function further includes a controller, which is mounted on the frame and electrically connected to the drive unit.
[0010] Preferably, the feeding tray has a conical protrusion in the middle.
[0011] Preferably, the top of the conical protrusion is provided with a spray nozzle.
[0012] Preferably, the container is covered with a lid.
[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effect is that the drive component moves the feed-pulling plate to stir the feed contained in the feed container, which can stir the feed in the feed container, so that the feed is fully mixed and evenly mixed, avoiding the feed from settling and clumping in the feed container, which is conducive to the pigs eating quickly during subsequent feeding.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 2 This utility model proposes a feeder with a stirring function, including: a feed container 1, a feeding tray 2, and a feed dispensing component 3. The feed container 1 has a discharge port 11 at its bottom, and the feeding tray 2 is movably disposed below the discharge port 11. The feed dispensing component 3 includes a mounting beam 33 and a dispensing piece 32 that is flipped and connected to the mounting beam 33. The mounting beam 33 is horizontally installed inside the feed container 1, and both the mounting beam 33 and the dispensing piece 32 are located inside the feed container 1. The dispensing piece 32 can flip and move up and down on the mounting beam 33 to prevent the feed from settling and clumping inside the feed container 1 when it is fed into the feed container 1.
[0024] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the material-pulling piece is hinged to the mounting beam 33, which facilitates the material-pulling piece to flip and swing up and down.
[0025] In this way, when feed is fed into the feed container 1, the feed will pass through the feed-dispensing plate 32 and bounce up and down on the feed-dispensing plate 32 to break up the feed contained in the feed container 1, so as to prevent the feed from settling and clumping in the feed container 1, which is conducive to the pigs eating quickly when feeding later.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the feed container 1 is generally funnel-shaped and covered with a lid 12. When the feeder with stirring function is not in use, the lid 12 can be placed on the feed container 1 to prevent dust from entering the feed container 1.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the feeding assembly 3 further includes a driving member 31, a central rod 34, and a spiral blade. The driving member 31 is mounted on the mounting beam 33. The central rod 34 passes through the mounting beam 33 and is connected to the driving member 31, and extends towards the bottom of the feeding hopper 1. The spiral blade is connected to the bottom end of the central rod 34. When the driving member 31 drives the spiral blade to rotate, it can agitate the feed in the feeding hopper 1.
[0028] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the driving component 31 may be a servo motor.
[0029] The number of the material guide plates 32 is multiple. In this embodiment, there are four material guide plates 32: two long material guide plates 32 and two short material guide plates 32. The two long material guide plates 32 are distributed close to the center rod 34, and the two short material guide plates 32 are distributed outside the two long material guide plates 32. In other embodiments, the number of material guide plates 32 is not limited to four, and the number can be selected according to the actual application scenario.
[0030] Specifically, the central rod 34 is distributed along the central axis of the container 1 and connected to the rotating shaft of the driving component 31. The central rod 34 passes through the middle section of the connecting rod, which is distributed horizontally and connected to the central rod 34.
[0031] Since the center of the feed container 1 is relatively deep, two long feed-pulling plates 32 are set near the center rod 34 to facilitate the movement of feed deposited deep inside.
[0032] When feed is added to the feed container 1, the feed passes through the feed-dispensing blades 32, which impact and tumble the feed in the container 1, preventing it from settling and clumping. This facilitates faster feeding for pigs during subsequent feedings. When the drive unit 31 is activated, its shaft first drives the central rod 34, which in turn drives the spiral blades to move, thus dispersing the feed in the container 1. This process simultaneously disperses the feed in the container 1, preventing it from settling and clumping.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the feeder with stirring function further includes a frame 4, and the feed hopper 1 is suspended and fixedly installed on the frame 4, so that the feeding tray 2 can be moved and positioned below the discharge port 11 of the feed hopper 1.
[0034] When feeding is needed, the movable feeding tray 2 is placed directly below the discharge port 11; when feeding is needed, the feeding tray 2 can be moved to other places to facilitate pig feeding.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the feeding tray 2 has a conical protrusion 21 in the middle, which can make the feed after falling out of the discharge port 11 more evenly distributed in the feeding tray 2.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the conical protrusion 21 is provided with a spray nozzle 22, which sprays water to wash the feed as it falls out, so that the feed and water are mixed into a porridge-like consistency, which is beneficial for pigs to eat and digest.
[0037] It should be noted that a water pipe is installed on the bottom surface of the feeding tray 2, passing through the conical protrusion 21 and connecting to the spray nozzle 22, to continuously supply water to the spray nozzle 22.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the feeder with stirring function further includes a controller 5, which is mounted on the frame 4 and electrically connected to the drive unit 31 via a wiring harness. The controller 5 controls the start / stop and rotation speed of the drive unit 31. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the controller 5 can be an industrial computer.
[0039] When a start command is issued on the controller 5, the drive unit 31 starts; when a stop command is issued on the controller 5, the drive unit 31 stops running; the rotation speed of the drive unit 31 can also be adjusted on the controller 5 to adjust the speed of material feeding and stirring.
[0040] This invention is not limited to the description in the specification and embodiments. Therefore, other advantages and modifications can be readily realized by those skilled in the art. Thus, without departing from the spirit and scope of the general concept as defined by the claims and their equivalents, this invention is not limited to the specific details, representative devices and illustrated examples shown and described herein.
