Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of additive device technology, specifically an automatic micronutrient additive device. Background Technology
[0002] In the aquaculture industry, the quality of feed is closely related to the growth, health, and profitability of aquatic animals. High-quality aquaculture feed not only needs to provide the basic nutrients required for the growth of aquatic animals, but also needs to be precisely supplemented with various micronutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other functional additives, to meet the special nutritional needs of aquatic animals at different growth stages and under different environmental conditions.
[0003] Existing micronutrient addition devices lack an effective uniform feeding mechanism, which easily leads to unstable material conveying and uneven distribution of micronutrients in the feed. In addition, traditional straight-tube feed pipes are prone to blockage due to material accumulation, and existing feed pipes mostly add micronutrients at a single point, making it difficult to evenly distribute micronutrients to all parts of the basic feed. This can easily lead to large differences in micronutrient content in different areas of the feed, thus affecting the quality of feed production. Therefore, an automatic micronutrient addition device is provided to improve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic micronutrient addition device. By setting up a uniform feeding component and a feed pipe, it solves the problem that existing micronutrient addition devices lack an effective uniform feeding mechanism, which easily leads to unstable material conveying and uneven distribution of micronutrients in the feed. In addition, traditional straight-cylinder feed pipes are prone to blockage due to material accumulation, and existing feed pipes are mostly single-point addition devices, which make it difficult to evenly distribute micronutrients to all parts of the basic feed. This can easily lead to large differences in the micronutrient content in different areas of the feed, thus affecting the quality of feed production.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model is an automatic micronutrient addition device, including a feeding hopper, a uniform feeding assembly, and a feeding pipe. The feeding hopper has two through holes. The uniform feeding assembly includes a rotating shaft, with both ends of the rotating shaft rotatably engaged with the two through holes. Four baffles are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. The sides of the baffles rotatably fit against the inner wall of the feeding hopper, and a space is formed between every two adjacent baffles. The feeding pipe is set on the feeding hopper.
[0006] Furthermore, a support plate is installed on the feed hopper, and a drive source is installed on the support plate. The rotating shaft is connected to the power output shaft of the drive source.
[0007] Furthermore, the feed pipe is connected to the bottom of the feed hopper, and the inner diameter of the feed pipe gradually increases along the material flow direction.
[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the feed pipe extends downward and branches to form three diversion pipes. The three diversion pipes are arranged in a circumferential array at the bottom of the feed pipe, and each diversion pipe is connected to the interior of the feed pipe.
[0009] Furthermore, the baffle is arranged in a fan shape, and the support plate is arranged in an L shape.
[0010] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model sets up a uniform feeding component, which drives the rotating shaft of the servo motor to rotate while simultaneously rotating the baffle. When two adjacent baffles rotate to the bottom of the feeding hopper, the material contained in the space falls into the feeding pipe under the action of gravity. Since the four baffles are equidistantly distributed, four equal portions of material can be continuously conveyed for each rotation, achieving uniform material conveying. This solves the problem that existing micronutrient addition devices lack an effective uniform feeding mechanism, which easily leads to unstable material conveying and uneven distribution of micronutrients in the feed. 2. This utility model solves the problem of blockage caused by material accumulation in traditional straight-tube feed pipes by setting a feed pipe with a gradually expanding diameter design, so that the inner diameter of the feed pipe gradually increases along the material flow direction; 3. This utility model achieves multi-point addition of materials by extending downward from the bottom of the feed pipe and branching into three diversion pipes. This solves the problem that existing feed pipes mostly add materials at a single point, making it difficult to evenly distribute micronutrients to different parts of the basic feed. This can easily lead to large differences in the micronutrient content in different areas of the feed, thus affecting the quality of feed production.
[0011] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0017] 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.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic micronutrient addition device, including a feeding hopper 1, a uniform feeding component 2 and a feeding pipe 3. The feeding hopper 1 has two through holes 101, which provide stable support for the rotating shaft 201, ensuring the coaxiality of the rotating shaft 201 when it rotates, and avoiding material spillage or uneven feeding due to shaking.
[0019] The uniform feeding assembly 2 includes a rotating shaft 201. The two ends of the rotating shaft 201 are rotatably engaged with two through holes 101. Four baffles 202 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 201 by welding. The baffles 202 are arranged in a fan shape. The side of the baffles 202 rotates and fits against the inner wall of the feed hopper 1 to prevent material from leaking from the gaps during the conveying process. A space is formed between every two adjacent baffles 202. The four fan-shaped baffles 202 divide the circumference of the rotating shaft into four independent spaces. The volume of each space is fixed and is used to accommodate the material.
[0020] A support plate 203 is bolted to the outer wall of the feed hopper 1. The support plate 203 is L-shaped. A drive source is bolted to the support plate 203. The drive source can be a suitable servo motor. The rotating shaft 201 is connected to the power output shaft of the servo motor through a coupling. The servo motor can be precisely adjusted in speed through PLC programming to adapt to different addition requirements.
[0021] The feed pipe 3 is installed on the feed hopper 1 and is connected to the bottom of the feed hopper 1 by welding. The inner diameter of the feed pipe 3 gradually increases along the material flow direction. The gradually expanding pipe diameter design of the feed pipe 3 can reduce the material flow resistance, ensure that the material flows smoothly into the subsequent diversion pipe 301, and avoid the accumulation of material in the pipe.
[0022] The bottom of the feed pipe 3 extends downward and branches to form three diversion pipes 301. The three diversion pipes 301 are arranged in a circumferential array at the bottom of the feed pipe 3. Each diversion pipe 301 is connected to the inside of the feed pipe 3. The three diversion pipes 301 can evenly disperse the material into different areas of the mixing device, realize the multi-point addition of the material, and improve the uniformity of micronutrient addition.
[0023] When nutrients need to be added, the powdered micronutrients are first placed into the feed hopper 1. The material will naturally fall into the space formed by the adjacent baffles 202. After receiving the PLC command, the servo motor starts and drives the rotating shaft 201 to rotate at a constant speed through the coupling, while driving the baffles 202 to rotate. When the two adjacent baffles 202 rotate to the bottom of the feed hopper 1, the material contained in its space falls into the feed pipe 3 under the action of gravity. Since the four baffles 202 are equidistantly distributed, four equal portions of material can be continuously conveyed for each rotation, realizing the uniform conveying of materials. When the material falls through the feed pipe 3, the flow rate slows down due to the gradual expansion of the pipe diameter, avoiding impact and agglomeration. After the material reaches the bottom, it enters different positions of the mixer through the three diversion pipes 301, realizing multi-point addition of materials.
[0024] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
