A sea cucumber feed compounding device

Abstract

This utility model discloses a sea cucumber feed compounding device, comprising: two supports; rotating shafts, each rotatably mounted on the supports; and a mixing tank, which is fixedly mounted between the two rotating shafts. Compared with the prior art, the compound mixing mechanism not only enables conventional mixing of materials but also promotes the upward movement of materials at the bottom of the mixing tank, achieving multi-dimensional mixing of materials in both vertical and horizontal directions, significantly improving the mixing effect and making the mixed materials more uniform. The feeding mechanism allows additives to be added to the mixing tank in a rotating manner, with the additives being sprayed out from the guide channel on the follower cylinder, no longer accumulating in one place but evenly sprinkled on the upper layer of the material. This uniform addition method significantly shortens the time required for the additives and main ingredients to mix evenly, thus significantly improving the efficiency of sea cucumber feed compounding.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sea cucumber feed compounding technology, and in particular to a sea cucumber feed compounding device. Background Technology

[0002] Sea cucumbers are a marine organism with high economic value, and their aquaculture industry has developed rapidly. In the process of sea cucumber farming, the quality and formulation of feed have a crucial impact on the growth, development, health, and profitability of the sea cucumbers.

[0003] In the field of sea cucumber feed compounding, existing technologies involve adding the main ingredient to a mixing tank, followed by adding various additives one by one through a feeding hopper. This method has significant drawbacks. When additives enter the mixing tank from the feeding hopper, they tend to accumulate at the top layer of the material, failing to disperse evenly. To achieve uniform mixing of additives and main ingredients, prolonged stirring is required, resulting in low feed compounding efficiency, severely impacting production progress and increasing production costs. Furthermore, existing mixing devices employ a relatively simple stirring method, relying solely on simple stirring motions, which is insufficient for comprehensive and deep mixing of materials. This makes it difficult for materials at the bottom of the mixing tank to fully blend with those at the top, resulting in poor mixing uniformity and inconsistent quality of the produced sea cucumber feed. Therefore, we propose a new sea cucumber feed compounding device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a sea cucumber feed compounding device, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a sea cucumber feed compounding device, comprising:

[0006] Two supports;

[0007] Rotating shafts, all of which are rotatably mounted on a bracket;

[0008] A mixing tank, which is fixedly disposed between two rotating shafts;

[0009] A composite mixing mechanism is installed inside a mixing tank and is used to mix the materials inside the mixing tank.

[0010] A feeding mechanism is provided on the mixing tank and is used to uniformly add materials into the interior of the mixing tank.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution, the composite stirring mechanism includes a support plate, which is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the stirring tank. A drive motor is installed on the bottom wall of the support plate. A sleeve is fixedly connected to the center of the lower inner wall of the stirring tank. The output shaft of the drive motor extends into the sleeve and is fixedly connected to a spiral auger. Four stirring rods are arranged around the upper side wall of the support plate. The upper ends of the stirring rods extend into the stirring tank. Several stirring blades are provided on the stirring rods. A drive gear is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor. A driven gear that meshes with the drive gear is fixedly sleeved on the lower end of the stirring rod.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding hopper, which is fixedly installed on the upper outer wall of the mixing tank. A follower material cylinder is rotatably installed on the upper inner wall of the mixing tank. The feeding hopper and the follower material cylinder are connected. A guide channel is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the follower material cylinder.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution, the upper end of the spiral auger is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the follower cylinder.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution, the bottom ring of the sleeve is provided with multiple feed ports.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution, one end of one of the rotating shafts is fixedly connected to a worm gear, and two symmetrically distributed ear plates are fixedly connected to the side wall of one of the supports away from the mixing tank. A worm gear that meshes with the worm gear is rotatably provided between the two ear plates, and a handwheel is fixedly connected to one end of the worm gear.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1.

This significantly improves the mixing effect, making the mixed materials more uniform and effectively enhancing the quality of sea cucumber feed.

[0019] 2. With the addition of the feeding mechanism, the additive is added to the mixing tank by rotation. The additive is then thrown out from the guide channel on the follower cylinder, and no longer accumulates in one place. Instead, it is evenly sprinkled on the upper layer of the material. This uniform addition method greatly shortens the time required for the additive to be evenly mixed with the main material, significantly improves the efficiency of sea cucumber feed compounding, reduces production time, and lowers energy consumption and production costs.

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, and objectives of this utility model easier to understand, the following describes this utility model in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "both ends," "one end," and "the other end," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a sea cucumber feed compounding device, including two supports 1, a rotating shaft 11, a mixing tank 2, a compound mixing mechanism 3 and a feeding mechanism 4. With the above structure, the feed compounding can be completed more efficiently and the mixing effect between materials is better.

[0029] To further explain, the rotating shafts 11 are all rotatably mounted on the support 1, and the mixing tank 2 is fixedly mounted between the two rotating shafts 11. The outer wall of the mixing tank 2 is provided with a discharge pipe 21, and a valve 22 is provided on the discharge pipe 21. After opening the valve 22, the mixed feed in the mixing tank 2 can be discharged through the discharge pipe 21.

[0030] Further explanation: The composite stirring mechanism 3 is installed inside the mixing tank 2. The composite stirring mechanism 3 is used to stir and mix the materials inside the mixing tank 2. The composite stirring mechanism 3 includes a support plate 31, which is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the mixing tank 2. A drive motor 32 is installed on the bottom wall of the support plate 31. A sleeve 33 is fixedly connected to the center of the lower inner wall of the mixing tank 2. The output shaft of the drive motor 32 extends into the sleeve 33 and is fixedly connected to a spiral auger 34. Four stirring rods 35 are arranged around the upper side wall of the support plate 31. The upper end of the stirring rods 35 extends into the mixing tank 2. Several stirring blades 36 are provided on the stirring rods 35. A drive gear 37 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor 32. A driven gear 38 that meshes with the drive gear 37 is fixedly sleeved on the lower end of the stirring rods 35.

[0031] With the above structure, not only can the material be mixed in a conventional way, but the material at the bottom of the mixing tank 2 can also be turned up, realizing multi-dimensional mixing of the material in the vertical and horizontal directions, which significantly improves the mixing effect and makes the mixed material more uniform. Moreover, the mixing and material turning up can be completed simultaneously by a single drive motor 32, making it more practical.

[0032] To further explain, the feeding mechanism 4 is installed on the mixing tank 2. The feeding mechanism 4 is used to uniformly add materials into the interior of the mixing tank 2. The feeding mechanism 4 includes a feeding hopper 41, which is fixedly installed on the upper outer wall of the mixing tank 2. A follower material cylinder 42 is rotatably installed on the upper inner wall of the mixing tank 2. The feeding hopper 41 and the follower material cylinder 42 are connected. A guide channel 43 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the follower material cylinder 42.

[0033] With the above-mentioned structure, when adding additives, the feeding mechanism 4 can make the additives rotate and be added into the mixing tank 2. The additives are thrown out from the guide channel 43 on the follower material cylinder 42, and no longer accumulate in a certain place of the material, but are evenly sprinkled on the upper layer of the material. This uniform addition method greatly shortens the time required for the additives and main ingredients to be evenly mixed, and significantly improves the compounding efficiency of sea cucumber feed.

[0034] To further explain, the upper end of the spiral auger 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the follower material cylinder 42. When the output shaft of the drive motor 32 drives the spiral auger 34 to rotate, it can simultaneously drive the follower material cylinder 42 to rotate. The bottom of the sleeve 33 is provided with multiple feed ports 331. The material at the bottom of the mixing tank 2 will enter the sleeve 33 through the feed ports 331 and then be lifted by the spiral auger 34.

[0035] To further explain, one end of one of the rotating shafts 11 is fixedly connected to a worm gear 12, and two symmetrically distributed ear plates 13 are fixedly connected to the side wall of one of the supports 1 away from the mixing tank 2. A worm 14 that meshes with the worm gear 12 is rotatably provided between the two ear plates 13. One end of the worm 14 is fixedly connected to a handwheel 15. With the above structure, the mixing tank 2 can be tilted to discharge materials.

[0036] It should be noted that this utility model is a sea cucumber feed compounding device. In use, the drive motor 32 is started, and then the main material is added to the feeding hopper 41. The main material enters the follower material cylinder 42. The output shaft of the drive motor 32 drives the spiral auger 34 to rotate, which in turn drives the follower material cylinder 42 to rotate, allowing the main material to be evenly added into the mixing tank 2 via the guide channel 43. Then, the additives to be added are added to the follower material cylinder 42 through the feeding hopper 41. As the follower material cylinder 42 rotates, the additives are evenly added to the upper layer of the main material via the guide channel 43. When the output shaft of the drive motor 32 rotates, it drives the drive gear 37 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 38 to rotate the stirring rod 35, thereby agitating the mixture. The blade 36 mixes the main material and additives in the mixing tank 2. When the auger 34 rotates, the material at the bottom of the mixing tank 2 enters the sleeve 33 through the feed port 331 and is then lifted by the auger 34. When it reaches the upper end of the sleeve 33, it is thrown onto the upper layer of material, completing the upward turning of the bottom material. Combined with the stirring of the blade 36, the mixing effect is greatly improved. After the compounding is completed, the handwheel 15 is turned to drive the worm gear 14 to rotate. When the worm gear 14 rotates, the worm wheel 12 drives one of the rotating shafts 11 to rotate, thereby causing the mixing tank 2 to drive the other rotating shaft 11 to rotate together, causing the mixing tank 2 to tilt. Then the valve 22 is opened, allowing the mixed material to be discharged through the discharge pipe 21.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
