[0003] With the development of animal husbandry, the requirements for feed quality are increasing. Traditional dry feed production suffers from problems such as uneven mixing and excessive use of additives, which affect feed quality and production efficiency. Liquid fermented feed production is more efficient and can meet the needs of large-scale production. Therefore, a liquid mixing tank for mixed feed fermentation is needed to improve the production efficiency and quality of fermented feed. Existing liquid mixing tanks for mixed feed fermentation usually only have basic stirring and mixing functions. Feed residue is easily left on the inner wall of the tank, which is difficult to clean thoroughly. Cleaning the tank is often time-consuming and laborious, and it is difficult to ensure thorough cleaning. Due to the feed residue on the inner wall, some feed cannot be fully utilized, affecting the fermentation effect. At the same time, the feed residue on the inner wall of the tank can also breed bacteria, affecting the fermentation environment and causing unstable fermentation effect. Utility Model Content

[0018] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0020] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0021] Example 1:

[0022] Reference Figures 1-5 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a mixing tank for fermenting mixed feed, including a tank body 1, an outer shell 2 on the outside of the tank body 1, a protective shell 3 fixed on the outside of the outer shell 2, a driving component 4 inside the protective shell 3, a stirring component 5 inside the tank body 1, and several sets of heating rings 6 evenly distributed on the outside of the tank body 1. The inner walls of the several sets of heating rings 6 are all connected by connecting pipes 7, and the number of connecting pipes 7 is six.

[0023] The tank 1 stores feed during mixing. An inner cavity exists between the outer shell 2 and the tank 1, housing the heating ring 6 and connecting pipe 7. The outer shell 2 encloses the heating ring 6 and connecting pipe 7, providing protection. The protective shell 3 protects the drive assembly 4 installed inside. The drive assembly 4 drives the stirring assembly 5 through its internal structure. The stirring assembly 5 stirs the feed inside the tank 1, ensuring thorough mixing and improving fermentation efficiency. Multiple heating rings 6 are evenly arranged, allowing the tank 1 to be fully heated, ensuring the feed inside is fully heated during fermentation. The connecting pipe 7 directly connects the evenly arranged heating rings 6 on the outside of the tank 1, improving heating efficiency and quickly bringing the feed inside the tank to a suitable temperature, thus enhancing fermentation efficiency.

[0024] The stirring assembly 5 includes a transmission rod 51 that penetrates the inner wall of the tank 1 to its interior. Four sets of stirring blades 52 are fixed to the outer side of the transmission rod 51. Several sets of stirring rods 53 arranged vertically are fixed to the inner wall of each of the four sets of stirring blades 52. Three sets of connecting rods 54 are arranged horizontally to the outer side of the transmission rod 51. A vertically arranged scraper 55 is fixed to one end of each of the three sets of connecting rods 54, and the outer side of the scraper 55 fits into the inner wall of the tank 1.

[0025] During the feed mixing process, the transmission rod 51 rotates under the drive of the drive assembly 4. This drives the four sets of stirring blades 52 to rotate, thus mixing the feed inside the tank 1. Since the inner wall of the stirring blades 52 is fixed with several evenly arranged stirring rods 53, the feed passes through the gaps between the stirring rods 53 during mixing, ensuring thorough mixing. Simultaneously, as the transmission rod 51 drives the stirring blades 52, the connecting rod 54 drives the scraper 55 to rotate along the inner wall of the tank 1. The scraper 55 removes feed adhering to the inner wall of the tank 1, preventing it from affecting the mixing quality and fermentation efficiency. It should be noted that a sealing block is installed at the connection between the transmission rod 51 and the inner wall of the tank 1, sealing the connection and preventing leakage during feed mixing.

[0026] Example 2:

[0027] This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0028] Specifically, a control panel 8 is fixed to the top of the protective shell 3, and the electrical output terminal of the control panel 8 is electrically connected to the electrical input terminal of the connecting tube 7.

[0029] Control panel 8 ensures that the required temperature conditions are met during fermentation by receiving and processing user commands and by precisely controlling the heating system.

[0030] Specifically, a sealing cap 9 is provided on the top of the tank body 1, and the size of the sealing cap 9 is the same as the size of the opening of the tank body 1. A handle 10 is fixed on the outside of the sealing cap 9.

[0031] During the feed mixing process, the opening of the tank 1 is sealed by the sealing cap 9. Since the size of the sealing cap 9 is the same as the size of the opening of the tank 1, the tank 1 can be sealed by the sealing cap 9 through the groove 11 and the sealing ring 12, so that the feed can be in a closed environment during the fermentation process. The sealing cap 9 can be easily opened by the handle 10.

[0032] Specifically, the inner wall of the tank body 1 is provided with a groove 11, and the inner wall of the sealing cover 9 is fixed with a sealing ring 12, and the inner wall of the groove 11 and the outer side of the sealing ring 12 fit together.

[0033] Since the inner wall of the groove 11 fits into the outer side of the sealing ring 12, the connection between the sealing cover 9 and the tank body 1 can be sealed when the sealing cover 9 is closed, thus preventing air leakage of the feed during fermentation.

[0034] Example 3:

[0035] This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0036] Specifically, the inner wall of the tank 1 is connected to three sets of discharge pipes 13, and all three sets of discharge pipes 13 are designed to be inclined downwards. A control valve 14 is installed on the outer side of each of the three sets of discharge pipes 13.

[0037] The three sets of discharge pipes 13 can discharge the fermented feed from different directions at the same time, which improves the discharge efficiency of the device. The opening and closing of the discharge pipes 13 can be controlled by the control valve 14. Since the discharge pipes 13 are designed to be inclined downwards, the fermented feed can slide out from the inner wall of the discharge pipes 13 by gravity.

[0038] Specifically, a fixing ring 15 is fixed to the bottom of the tank body 1, and a support leg 16 is fixed to the bottom of the fixing ring 15, and the number of support legs 16 is four.

[0039] Since the top of the fixing ring 15 is connected to the bottom of the tank 1, the support leg 16 fixed to the bottom of the fixing ring 15 can support the tank 1. It should be noted that the support leg 16 is fixed to the bottom of the fixing ring 15 in a ring shape.

[0040] Specifically, the drive assembly 4 includes a motor 41 installed vertically inside the protective shell 3. A rotating rod 42 is fixed to the output end of the motor 41, and a pulley 43 is fixed to the bottom end of the rotating rod 42. The shaft of the pulley 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transmission rod 51.

[0041] The motor 41 is configured to drive the rotating rod 42 fixed at its output end to rotate. The rotating rod 42 can drive the pulley 43 fixed at its bottom end to rotate. Since the shaft of the pulley 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transmission rod 51, the pulley 43 can drive the transmission rod 51 to rotate. It should be noted that in order to improve the transmission capacity of the pulley 43, the wrap angle of the belt cannot be too small. Generally, the wrap angle α is required to be ≥120°, and in some cases, α is even required to be ≥150°. This is because a larger wrap angle can provide greater friction, thereby enhancing the stability and efficiency of the transmission.

[0042] When mixed feed fermentation is required, first open the sealing cover 9 by pulling the handle 10 upwards. Then, pour various raw materials and additives into the tank 1 through the opening at the top of the tank 1 in a certain proportion. Then, pull the handle 10 downwards to close the sealing cover 9. Since the size of the sealing cover 9 is the same as the size of the opening of the tank 1, and since the inner wall of the groove 11 fits the outer side of the sealing ring 12, the sealing cover 9 can seal the opening at the top of the tank 1 after it is closed, so that the feed can be in a sealed environment. Then, start the motor 41. The motor 41 drives the rotating rod 42 fixed at its output end to rotate. The rotating rod 42 drives the pulley 43 fixed at its bottom end to rotate. The pulley 43 drives the transmission rod 51 fixed at its shaft to rotate. The transmission rod 51 drives the four sets of stirring blades 52 to stir the feed inside the tank 1 through the drive assembly 4. Since the inner wall of the stirring blades 52 is fixed with several sets of stirring rods 53 evenly arranged, the transmission rods 53 are used to stir the feed inside the tank 1. During the feed mixing process, the feed passes through the gaps between the mixing rods 53, allowing for thorough mixing. Simultaneously, the transmission rod 51 drives the scraper 55 to rotate along the inner wall of the tank 1 via the connecting rod 54. The scraper 55 scrapes off the feed adhering to the inner wall of the tank 1, preventing the feed from affecting the mixing quality and thus the fermentation efficiency. After the feed is mixed, the heating rings 6 are heated by the control panel 8 through the connecting pipe 7. Since the multiple sets of heating rings 6 are evenly arranged, the feed inside the tank 1 can quickly reach a suitable temperature, thereby improving the fermentation efficiency. After the feed fermentation is complete, the discharge pipe 13 is opened by rotating the control valve 14. Since all three sets of discharge pipes 13 are designed to slope downwards, the fermented feed can slide out simultaneously from the inner wall of the three sets of discharge pipes 13 by gravity, thus quickly discharging the fermented feed.

[0043] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
