[0033] Example: A slow-release feeding device for veterinary use of bitter bean extract.

[0034] This embodiment discloses a slow-release feeding device for veterinary use of bitter bean extract, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6As shown, the system includes a support 1, which is welded from angle iron and fixedly connected to the ground. A ladder is welded to one side of the support 1 for easy access. The support 1 is bolted to a stirrer 2, whose stirring shaft is connected to a motor powered by an external power source. The stirrer 2 can be opened and closed manually or by a controller. The motor rotation drives the stirring shaft, which in turn mixes the bitter bean alkaloids and buffer solution within the stirrer 2. A thermostatic cylinder 3 and a container 4 are located above the stirrer 2. The thermostatic cylinder 3 is bolted to the support 1 and is positioned directly above the stirrer 2. The thermostatic cylinder 3 stores the bitter bean alkaloids. The structure can be referenced from that of a medical incubator. The temperature inside the incubator 3 is 35±2℃. The top of the incubator 3 has a liquid inlet, which is detachably connected to a plug. The plug is used to open or close the inlet. The bitter bean alkaloids are added to the incubator 3 through the inlet. The bottom of the incubator 3 has an outlet, which is connected to valve 5. Valve 5 is connected to stirrer 2 via a pipe. Valve 5 can be a manual valve or a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is used in conjunction with a timer. The solenoid valve is electrically connected to the timer, and the timer is electrically connected to a power source. The timer can be set to a time, such as 0.5 hours, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, etc. When energized, the solenoid valve opens, and the bitter bean alkaloids in the incubator 3 are released through the outlet. The solution flows into stirrer 2, and the solenoid valve closes when the power is off. Valve 5 can also be a solenoid valve: SMCVDW21-5G-1-M5 (DN15, 24VDC), or an electric ball valve: ASCO8210G002 (DN20, 220VAC). Container 4 is bolted to support 1. The top of container 4 is detachably connected to a cap with a filling hole. The filling hole is detachably connected to a plug, which is used to open or close the filling hole. The buffer solution is added to container 4 through the filling hole. The buffer solution is pH 7.0 phosphate buffer. The bottom of container 4 has an outlet hole connected to valve 5. Valve 5 is connected to stirrer 2 through a pipe. Valve 5 can be a manual valve. Valve 5 can also be a solenoid valve, used in conjunction with a timer. The solenoid valve is electrically connected to the timer, which is in turn electrically connected to a power source. The timer can be set to a time, such as 0.5 hours, 1 hour, or 1.5 hours. When energized, the solenoid valve opens, and the bitter bean alkaloids in the thermostatic cylinder 3 flow into the stirrer 2 through the outlet. When de-energized, the solenoid valve closes. Valve 5 can also be a solenoid valve: SMCVDW21-5G-1-M5 (DN15, 24VDC), or an electric ball valve: ASCO8210G002 (DN20, 220VAC). The installation of solenoid valves and electric ball valves is common knowledge to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail.Valve 5 is used to close or open the corresponding thermostatic cylinder 3 and container 4. When valve 5 is open, the bitter bean alkaloids in thermostatic cylinder 3 flow into stirrer 2 through the pipe, and the buffer solution in container 6 flows into stirrer 2 through the pipe. When valve 5 is closed, the bitter bean alkaloids are stored in thermostatic cylinder 3, and the buffer solution is stored in container 4. The amount of bitter bean alkaloids entering stirrer 2 is adjusted according to actual needs. The measurement of bitter bean alkaloids can be estimated by experienced technicians, or it can be measured using a meter. The amount of buffer solution depends on the amount of bitter bean alkaloids. The quantities can be adjusted; for example, the volume ratio of bitter bean alkaloids to buffer solution can be 1:2-5, or the weight ratio can be 1:1.5-5.5. The buffer solution can also be estimated by experienced technicians or measured using a measuring instrument. A mixing cylinder 6 is located below the stirrer 2, and is bolted to the support 1. The bitter bean extract in the stirrer 2 enters the mixing cylinder 6 through the outlet of the stirrer 2. A feed tank 7 is located above the mixing cylinder 6, and is bolted to the support 1. The feed tank 7 is connected to the mixing cylinder 6 via valve 8. Feed is stored in feed hopper 7. The feed can be in granular, powdered, or liquid form. The feed enters the mixing drum 6 through a pipe. Valve 8 is used to open or close the pipe. When valve 8 is closed, the feed is stored in feed hopper 7. When valve 8 is open, the feed in feed hopper 7 enters the mixing drum 6 through the pipe. The feed and bitter bean extract are mixed in the mixing drum 6, allowing the bitter bean extract to adhere to the surface of the feed. Valve 8 can be a rotary feeder valve. The appropriate specification of the rotary feeder valve is selected according to actual needs. The installation of the rotary feeder valve is common knowledge to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail. Below the mixing cylinder 6 is a discharge port 601, and the discharge port 601 is equipped with valve 9. Valve 9 can also be a pneumatic knife gate valve. The appropriate specification of the pneumatic knife gate valve is selected according to actual needs. The installation of the pneumatic knife gate valve is common knowledge to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail. Below valve 9 is a feeding trough 10. Valve 9 is used to open or close the discharge port 601. When valve 9 is open, the feed adsorbed with bitter bean extract in the mixing cylinder 6 enters the feeding trough 10. When valve 9 is closed, the feed and bitter bean extract are mixed in the mixing cylinder 6. Valves 8 and 9 are manual valves.The mixing cylinder 6 includes a cylinder body 602 with an arc-shaped bottom. The cylinder body 602 is equipped with a stirring shaft 603. Both ends of the stirring shaft 603 are rotatably connected to the corresponding side walls of the cylinder body 602 via bearings. The stirring shaft 603 is fixedly connected to stirring blades 604 by welding. One end of the stirring shaft 603 passes through the corresponding side wall and is connected to the output shaft of a drive motor 605. The drive motor 605 is connected to the cylinder body 602 via a base and is powered by an external power source. The rotation of the drive motor 605 drives… The stirring shaft 603 rotates, stirring the feed and causing the bitter bean extract to be adsorbed onto the surface of the feed. The base is fixedly connected to the cylinder 602 by welding. The discharge port 601 is located on the bottom wall of the cylinder 602. The feed adsorbed with bitter bean extract enters the feeding trough 10 through the discharge port 601. Livestock achieve slow-release feeding of bitter bean extract by consuming the feed adsorbed with bitter bean extract, solving the problem of limited feeding of bitter bean alkaloids. The livestock include pigs, sheep, horses, cattle, and other livestock. When using it, first open a valve. Open valve 5 to allow the bitter bean alkaloids in the constant temperature cylinder 3 to enter the stirrer 2 through the pipe. Then, open another valve 5 to allow the buffer solution in container 4 to enter the stirrer 2 through the pipe. Then, start the stirrer 2 to stir the bitter bean alkaloids and buffer solution. Then, open valve 8 to allow the feed in feed container 7 to enter the mixing cylinder 6 through the pipe. Then, start the drive motor 605. The drive motor 605 rotates, driving the stirring shaft 603 to rotate. The rotation of the stirring shaft 603 stirs the feed in the mixing cylinder 6. The mixture is stirred, and simultaneously, the outlet of stirrer 2 is opened, allowing the bitter bean extract, which is a mixture of bitter bean alkaloids and buffer solution, to enter the mixing drum 6. The feed is continuously stirred by stirring shaft 603, causing the bitter bean extract to adhere to the surface of the feed. Finally, valve 9 is opened, allowing the feed with the adsorbed bitter bean extract to enter the feeding trough 10 through outlet 601. The feeding of bitter bean extract is completed by the livestock consuming the feed with the adsorbed bitter bean extract. Therefore, the advantage of this embodiment is that the above setup facilitates the feeding of bitter bean alkaloids.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 7 As shown, the inner bottom of the thermostatic cylinder 3 is funnel-shaped. The funnel-shaped inner bottom can be integrally formed with the thermostatic cylinder 3. The funnel-shaped inner bottom can also be fixedly connected by welding. The funnel-shaped outlet is compatible with valve 5. The funnel-shaped inner bottom is designed to facilitate the outflow of bitter bean alkaloids.

[0036] like Figure 1As shown, a flow meter 11 is provided between the container 4 and the stirrer 2. The flow meter 11 is installed on the pipe between the container 4 and the stirrer 2. The flow meter 11 and the pipe can be connected by a flange, threaded connection, etc. The flow meter 11 can be a liquid flow meter. The liquid flow meter is used to record the amount of buffer solution entering the stirrer 2. The dosimeter 11 can also be other existing measuring instruments.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, an electromagnetic flow meter 12 is installed between the thermostatic cylinder 3 and the stirrer 2. The electromagnetic flow meter 12 is connected to the pipeline through a flange. The electromagnetic flow meter 12 is located between the thermostatic cylinder 3 and the stirrer 2. The electromagnetic flow meter 12 is used to record the amount of bitter bean alkaloids entering the stirrer 2. Other existing measuring instruments can also be used for the electromagnetic flow meter 12.

[0038] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, the stirring blade 604 is spiral-shaped. The spiral-shaped stirring blade is connected to the stirring shaft 603 via a connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the spiral-shaped stirring blade by welding, and the other end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the stirring shaft 603 by welding. There are multiple connecting rods, which are spaced apart along the length of the stirring shaft 603.

[0039] like Figure 8 As shown, the stirrer 2 is electrically connected to the intelligent controller 13, which is powered by an external power source. The intelligent controller 13 is used to turn the stirrer 2 on or off. The intelligent controller 13 is also electrically connected to the drive motor 605, which is used to turn the drive motor 605 on or off. The intelligent controller 13 can be a Siemens LOGO! 8 (PLC).

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the feeding trough 10 is bolted to a cover 1001. The cover 1001 has a feed inlet 1002, which is compatible with valve 9. The cover 1001 prevents foreign objects from falling into the feeding trough 10 and also prevents feed from leaking out. It also prevents livestock from entering the feeding trough 10. The side wall of the feeding trough 10 has multiple feeding ports 1003, spaced apart along its length. Feed from the feeding trough 10 enters the feeding ports 1003, where livestock consume the feed. The feeding trough 10 is rotatably connected to a leveling device 1004, which is driven by a driver 1005. The driver 1005 is connected to the feeding trough 10 via a base, which is fixedly welded to the feeding trough 10. The driver 1005 is a motor connected to an external power source. The driver is activated by... The feeder can be operated manually or controlled by a controller. The feeder 1004 includes a rotating rod 100401, which is rotatably connected to the feeding trough 10 via bearings. The rotating rod 100401 is equipped with a spiral blade 100402, which can be a unidirectional spiral blade or a bidirectional spiral blade. The setting of the spiral blade 100402 is determined by the position of the discharge port 601 of the mixing cylinder 6 in the feeding trough 10. When the discharge port 601 is located in the middle of the feeding trough 10, the spiral blade 100402 is a bidirectional spiral blade, and the rotation of the bidirectional spiral blade causes the feed in the feeding trough 10 to spread out from the middle to both sides. When the discharge port 601 is located at one end of the feeding trough 10, the spiral blade 100402 is a unidirectional spiral blade, and the rotation of the unidirectional spiral blade causes the feed in the feeding trough 10 to spread out to the other end, and the spread feed can easily enter the corresponding feeding port 1003.

[0041] The working principle of this utility model embodiment is as follows:

[0042] In use, firstly, open valve 5 to allow the bitter bean alkaloids in the thermostatic cylinder 3 to enter the stirrer 2 through the pipe. Then, open another valve 5 to allow the buffer solution in the container 4 to enter the stirrer 2 through the pipe. Next, start the stirrer 2 to stir the bitter bean alkaloids and buffer solution. Then, open valve 8 to allow the feed in the feed container 7 to enter the mixing cylinder 6 through the pipe. Then, start the drive motor 605, which rotates the stirring shaft 603 to stir the feed in the mixing cylinder 6. At the same time, open the outlet of the stirrer 2 to allow the bitter bean extract, which is a mixture of bitter bean alkaloids and buffer solution, to enter the mixing cylinder 6. The stirring shaft 603 continuously stirs the feed, allowing the bitter bean extract to be adsorbed onto the surface of the feed. Finally, open valve 9 to allow the feed adsorbed with the bitter bean extract to enter the feeding trough 10 through the outlet 601. The feeding of bitter bean extract is completed by the livestock consuming the feed adsorbed with the bitter bean extract.
