[0013] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0014] Example 1: As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a dosing device for fermenting beef cattle feed, including a fermentation tank 1. The top of the fermentation tank 1 is equipped with a dosing device 2 for adding medicine to the interior of the fermentation tank 1. The dosing device 2 includes a U-shaped mounting plate 201 at the top of the fermentation tank 1. A dosing cylinder 202 is located inside the mounting plate 201. A liquid filling pipe 203, communicating with the inner cavity of the fermentation tank 1, is located at the bottom of the dosing cylinder 202. A first solenoid valve 204 is installed on the liquid filling pipe 203. A piston 205 is located inside the dosing cylinder 202. A float level sensor 206, located below the piston 205, is located inside the dosing cylinder 202. A pushing assembly 3, for driving the piston 205 downward to push the medicine, is located at the top of the mounting plate 201. A PLC controller 5 is installed at the top of the fermentation tank 1. The first solenoid valve 204, the float level sensor 206, and the pushing assembly 3 are all... Electrically connected to the PLC controller 5, when adding medicine to the fermentation tank 1, the float level sensor 206 inside the dosing cylinder 202 can monitor the liquid medicine dosage in real time and send the signal to the PLC controller 5. After analysis and processing, the PLC controller 5 controls the first solenoid valve 204 to open and controls the push component 3 to work. The push component 3 pushes the piston 205 downward, pushing the medicine inside the dosing cylinder 202 into the fermentation tank 1 through the liquid filling pipe 203. Because the float level sensor 206 monitors the liquid level inside the dosing cylinder 202 in real time, the medicine can be accurately added to the fermentation tank 1, improving the accuracy of the added medicine, ensuring the accuracy of beef cattle feed formulation, realizing automated medicine addition, improving the production efficiency of beef cattle feed, and avoiding the low efficiency and low accuracy of manual medicine addition.
[0015] The pushing component 3 includes a hydraulic cylinder 301 mounted vertically downward on the top of the mounting plate 201. The output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 301 is connected to a push rod 302 that is vertically downward and connected to the middle of the piston 205. The output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 301 pushes the push rod 302 to move, and the push rod 302 pushes the piston 205 downward to push the agent inside the dosing cylinder 202 into the interior of the fermenter 1 through the liquid dosing pipe 203.
[0016] The dosing cylinder 202 has an opening at its top end, and a cover plate 207 is threadedly connected to the opening of the dosing cylinder 202. The cover plate 207 has a guide hole for the push rod 302 to move, and a vent hole 208 is provided on the cover plate 207 to allow air to pass through, which facilitates the movement of the piston 205.
[0017] During operation, the dosing device for this type of beef cattle feed fermentation uses a float level sensor 206 inside the dosing cylinder 202 to monitor the liquid dosage in real time when adding medicine to the fermentation tank 1. The sensor sends the signal to the PLC controller 5, which analyzes and processes the signal. The PLC controller 5 then controls the first solenoid valve 204 to open and the hydraulic cylinder 301 to operate. The output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 301 pushes the push rod 302 to move, which in turn pushes the piston 205 downward, pushing the medicine inside the dosing cylinder 202 into the fermentation tank 1 through the liquid filling pipe 203. Because the float level sensor 206 monitors the liquid level inside the dosing cylinder 202 in real time, the medicine can be added to the fermentation tank 1 precisely, improving the accuracy of the added medicine and ensuring the accuracy of the beef cattle feed formulation. This automated dosing system improves the production efficiency of beef cattle feed and avoids the low efficiency and inaccuracy of manual dosing.
[0018] Example 2, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a further improvement has been made based on Embodiment 1. The top of the fermenter 1 is provided with a replenishing component 4 for replenishing the agent into the dosing cylinder 202. The replenishing component 4 includes a replenishing cylinder 401 located at the top of the fermenter 1. The bottom of the replenishing cylinder 401 is provided with a replenishing pipe 402 that communicates with the bottom of the dosing cylinder 202. A second solenoid valve 403 is installed on the replenishing pipe 402 near the dosing cylinder 202. A liquid pump 404 is installed on the replenishing cylinder 401. The outlet of the liquid pump 404 is connected to one end of the replenishing pipe 402. The inlet of the liquid pump 404 is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the replenishing cylinder 401. Both the liquid pump 404 and the second solenoid valve 403 are electrically connected to the PLC controller 5.
[0019] During operation, when the liquid level inside the dosing cylinder 202 is lower than the preset addition value, the PLC controller 5 controls the second solenoid valve 403 to open and the first solenoid valve 204 to close, and the pump 404 operates to replenish the liquid into the dosing cylinder 202 through the replenishment pipe 402; when the liquid level inside the dosing cylinder 202 is replenished to the preset value, that is, when the float level sensor 206 detects that the liquid level has been replenished to the preset value, the PLC controller 5 controls the pump 404 to stop working and the first solenoid valve 204 to close.
[0020] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
