Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment for silkworm breeding, and in particular to a mulberry leaf transport and feeding device for silkworm breeding. Background Technology
[0002] In silkworm rearing, the feeding of mulberry leaves is a crucial factor affecting the healthy growth and rearing efficiency of silkworms. To ensure that each silkworm has even contact with food and avoids injury caused by competition or crowding, mulberry leaves are usually distributed evenly on the silkworm rearing bed. Distributing the feed evenly also helps maintain good ventilation in the rearing bed, preventing the accumulation of mulberry leaves from fermenting and producing harmful gases, and encourages silkworms to promptly forage for fresh mulberry leaves, thereby improving feeding efficiency and overall rearing quality.
[0003] In some silkworm rearing processes, mulberry leaf transport and feeding devices are already used. These devices automatically and continuously feed collected mulberry leaves by pouring them into the equipment via an internal conveyor belt. However, this existing technology has certain drawbacks: after harvesting, mulberry leaves are usually packed into collection bags for transportation. During this process, due to prolonged stacking, the leaves tend to clump together, losing their original loose texture. When these compacted leaves are poured directly into the feeding device, they are difficult to disperse naturally during transport, leading to uneven feeding and clumping. This not only undermines the original design intent of the device for dispersed feeding but also affects the uniform feeding of silkworms. Therefore, it is necessary to design a mulberry leaf transport and feeding device for silkworm rearing to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a mulberry leaf transportation and feeding device for silkworm breeding.

[0020] A mulberry leaf transport and feeding device for silkworm rearing, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the device includes a mobile platform 1, guide rods 2, and a mounting frame 3. The mobile platform 1 serves as the assembly carrier for the feeding device. Two guide rods 2 are fixedly and parallelly mounted on the mobile platform 1, and the mounting frame 3 is slidably mounted on the mobile platform 1 via the guide rods 2. It also includes a belt conveyor 4, a material preparation frame 5, and a dispersing frame 6. The belt conveyor 4 is mounted on the mounting frame 3, and its conveyor belt is inclined and laid on the mounting frame 3. The material preparation frame 5 is fixedly mounted at the lower part of the mounting frame 3. The material preparation frame 5 is a bucket-shaped frame with openings at the top and bottom. The conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 4 is located inside the bottom outlet of the material preparation frame 5, and the material preparation frame 5 is slidably mounted inside. There is a dispersing frame 6, and a driving component is provided on the feed preparation frame 5 to drive the dispersing frame 6. The dispersing frame 6 is used to evenly disperse the mulberry leaves in the feed preparation frame 5. Lifting components are provided on both sides of the top of the feed preparation frame 5. The lifting components are used to assist in lifting the mulberry leaf carrier, so that the feeder can easily lift the mulberry leaf carrier and pour it into the feed preparation frame 5, improving the feeder's convenience in feeding. The dispersing frame 6 is driven by the driving component to vibrate back and forth in the feed preparation frame 5, so that the mulberry leaves poured into the feed preparation frame 5 can be fully dispersed by the dispersing frame 6 and then fall evenly onto the belt conveyor 4. Finally, the belt conveyor 4 is evenly transported to the top of the mounting frame 3 and falls to the silkworm bed below.
[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, the driving component includes a mounting plate 8, a rotating block 9, and a first motor 10. The dispersing frame 6 slides through the outer wall of the material preparation frame 5. A groove 7 is provided on one side of the frame of the dispersing frame 6. The mounting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the material preparation frame 5 near the groove 7. The rotating block 9 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 8. A protruding rod is eccentrically fixed on the rotating block 9. The protruding rod of the rotating block 9 is located in the groove 7 of the dispersing frame 6. The first motor 10 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the material preparation frame 5. The output shaft of the first motor 10 is connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating block 9. When the first motor 10 drives the rotating block 9 to rotate, the rotating block 9 drives the groove 7 on the dispersing frame 6 through its eccentric protruding rod, causing the dispersing frame 6 to reciprocate within the material preparation frame 5.
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the lifting components include an installation sleeve 11, a lifting frame 12, a lifting machine 13, and hooks 14. Vertical installation sleeves 11 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top two sides of the feed preparation frame 5. The lifting frame 12 is rotatably mounted on the installation sleeve 11. The lifting machine 13 is fixedly mounted on the top of the lifting frame 12. A cable 131 is wound on the drive roller of the lifting machine 13. The cable 131 is threaded through the guide structure of the lifting frame 12. Two symmetrically distributed hooks 14 are provided at the end of the cable 13 away from the lifting machine 13. The hooks 14 are used to lift the mulberry leaf carrier. After releasing one of the hooks 14, the feeder can easily tilt the mulberry leaf carrier so that the mulberry leaves can be smoothly poured into the feed preparation frame 5.
[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, multiple partition plates 41 are evenly spaced on the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 4. The partition plates 41 are used to evenly separate the mulberry leaves falling on the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 4 to prevent the mulberry leaves from accumulating.
[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, a material-pulling roller 15 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 3 near the inclined upward conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 4. The material-pulling roller 15 is circumferentially equipped with material-pulling blades. The material-pulling blades of the material-pulling roller 15 are in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 4. A second motor 16 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the mounting frame 3. The output shaft of the second motor 16 is connected to the roller shaft of the material-pulling roller 15. When the belt conveyor 4 conveys mulberry leaves upward, the second motor 16 drives the material-pulling roller 15 to rotate, and the material-pulling blades of the material-pulling roller 15 can pry the mulberry leaves on the surface of the conveyor belt.
[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, a protective shell 17 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the material preparation frame 5 at the position corresponding to the first motor 10. The protective shell 17 covers the outer perimeter of the first motor 10 and plays a protective role.
[0026] When using the feeding device, the feeder first uses the lifting device to easily lift the carrier loaded with mulberry leaves to the side above the feed box 5. Releasing one hook 14 and tilting the carrier allows the mulberry leaves to be smoothly poured into the bucket-shaped feed box 5, which has openings at the top and bottom. Then, the first motor 10 drives the rotating block 9 to rotate. The eccentric protrusion on the rotating block 9 embeds into the groove 7 on the side of the dispersing frame 6, causing the dispersing frame 6 to vibrate back and forth within the feed box 5, thoroughly loosening and dispersing the poured mulberry leaves. The loosened mulberry leaves fall evenly from the bottom outlet of the feed box 5 onto the conveyor belt of the inclined belt conveyor 4 below. Evenly spaced partitions 41 on the conveyor belt further prevent... Mulberry leaves are piled up to ensure they are conveyed upwards in a dispersed state. As the conveyor belt moves upwards at an incline, the second motor 16 on the side wall of the mounting frame 3 drives the feeding roller 15 to rotate. Its circumferential feeding blades continuously move and comb the mulberry leaves on the surface of the conveyor belt, performing secondary dispersion and homogenization. Finally, the mulberry leaves, dispersed through multiple stages, are transported by the belt conveyor 4 to the discharge port at the top of the mounting frame 3 and fall evenly onto the silkworm beds below. The entire device is installed on the mobile platform 1 and can move along the fixed guide rod 2 to achieve precise feeding to different silkworm bed areas, significantly reducing the labor intensity of the feeders and improving the convenience of feeding and the uniformity of mulberry leaf dispersion.
