Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry medicine mixing technology, specifically a medicine dispensing and feeding device for poultry and livestock. Background Technology

[0002] In the poultry and livestock farming sector, liquid medications such as antibiotics are often mixed into feed as needed to prevent or treat diseases. This mixing process requires that the medications and feed be mixed as evenly as possible.

[0003] Currently, the most common method of adding medicine in farms is to manually mix the feed using a medicine tank or mixer. For feed with added liquid medicine, the feed becomes viscous, making mixing more difficult and easily leading to uneven mixing of medicine and feed. The mixed feed is also prone to sticking to the inner wall of the container, which not only wastes feed and medicine but also makes cleaning work inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem of uneven drug mixing in the aforementioned technologies, which prevents efficient mixing, this invention provides a drug dispensing and feeding device for poultry and livestock.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A medication dispensing and feeding device for poultry and livestock includes: The feed distribution unit is located above the support legs and is used to receive and transport feed. It has a discharge port at its end. A transfer plate is inclinedly disposed below the discharge port of the feeding unit to receive and guide the feed falling from the discharge port; The dosing unit is located above the end of the feeding unit near the discharge port and is used to spray medicine onto the feed on the transfer plate. The lifting and adjusting mechanism includes multiple lifting devices. One end of each lifting device is rotatably connected to the support leg, and the other end is rotatably connected to the transfer plate, for adjusting the sliding speed of the feed on the transfer plate.

[0006] As described above, a feeding and dispensing device for poultry and livestock includes a dispensing unit comprising a screw conveyor and a hopper disposed above the screw conveyor, wherein the screw conveyor is horizontally disposed above the support legs.

[0007] As described above, in a poultry and livestock medication and feed dispenser, the conveying speed of the screw conveyor is adjustable.

[0008] As described above, a feeding and dispensing device for poultry and livestock includes a drug bin located above the dispensing unit, a delivery pipe connected to the drug bin, and an atomizing head.

[0009] As described above, in a poultry and livestock medication and feed dispenser, the delivery pipe is a corrugated pipe whose length and angle are adjustable.

[0010] In the poultry and livestock medication dispenser described above, at least one atomizing head is provided.

[0011] As described above, a poultry and livestock medication dispenser is provided with one atomizing head, the maximum spray diameter of which is less than the distance between the two sides of the transfer plate.

[0012] As described above, a feeding and medication dispenser for poultry and livestock has several rows of atomizing heads, with each row including multiple atomizing heads.

[0013] The poultry and livestock medication and feed dispenser described above also includes a power unit, which is located at the end of the feed dispensing unit that is not equipped with a discharge port.

[0014] As described above, in a poultry and livestock medication and feed dispenser, the feed dispensing unit and the medication dispensing unit are controlled independently or in conjunction.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention achieves uniform distribution of dry feed through the uniform rotation of a screw conveyor, while a dosing unit evenly sprays liquid medication in atomized form onto the thin layer of dry feed. This feed mixing method overcomes the drawbacks of difficulty in stirring and uneven mixing after the feed becomes wet, and also ensures a certain degree of uniformity in the medication content of the feed. Most importantly, this invention allows for the selection of whether to add medication and the amount of medication during feeding, thus adapting to different types of feed and medications with different properties.

Dosing unit; 41. Drug bin; 42. Conveying pipe; 43. Atomizing head; 5. Lifting and adjusting mechanism; 51. Lifting device; 6. Power unit. Detailed Implementation

[0019] Example 1 like Figure 1-2 The illustrated feed dispensing device for poultry and livestock includes a support leg 1 connected to the ground. Above the support leg 1 is a dispensing unit 2 for receiving and conveying feed, with a discharge port at the end of the dispensing unit 2. The dispensing unit 2 includes a hopper 22 and a screw conveyor 21 horizontally positioned at its bottom. Specifically, the screw conveyor 21 is positioned above the support leg 1, and the hopper 22 is positioned on top of the screw conveyor 21 and communicates with the top of the screw conveyor 21. The screw conveyor 21 is driven by a power unit 6 located at the non-dispensing end of the dispensing unit 2. In this embodiment, the power unit 6 and the screw conveyor 21 are connected via a belt drive, and its rotational speed can be adjusted by an external controller to meet different feed dispensing requirements.

[0020] A transfer plate 3 is installed below the feed inlet of the feed distribution unit 2 to receive and guide the feed falling from the outlet. In this embodiment, the transfer plate 3 is a cylindrical structure with a semi-circular cross-section. The material of the transfer plate 3 is not limited; it can be made of rigid or flexible materials. If it is a rigid metal or plastic plate, allowance should be made for angle adjustment during installation. A lifting adjustment mechanism 5 is installed on the outer side below the transfer plate 3. The lifting adjustment mechanism 5 includes multiple lifting devices 51. In this embodiment, four sets of lifting devices 51 are provided. One end of each lifting device 51 is rotatably connected to the side of the support leg 1 near the outlet, and the other end of the lifting device 51 is rotatably connected to the bottom outer side of the transfer plate 3. The lifting devices 51 do not require additional power and can adopt a common lockable simple pull-out structure.

[0021] In addition, to achieve control of the transfer plate 3 by the lifting device 51, the lifting devices 51 at the same height along the vertical direction of the support leg 1 are raised and lowered synchronously to prevent the transfer plate 3 from tipping over. Furthermore, to better ensure the feed flow rate, the transfer plate 3 is inclined relative to the screw conveyor 21, with an inclination angle ranging from 10° to 30°. This angle range effectively controls the descent speed of feeds such as semi-crushed corn, beans, or mixed feeds, preventing them from being too slow or too fast.

[0022] A dosing unit 4 for spraying medicine onto the feed is provided above the screw conveyor 21 near the discharge port. The dosing unit 4 includes a medicine bin 41 located above the screw conveyor 21, a conveying pipe 42 located on the side of the medicine bin 41 near the transfer plate 3, and an atomizing head 43 connected to the other end of the conveying pipe 42. In this embodiment, the conveying pipe 42 is a corrugated pipe with adjustable length and curvature. At least one atomizing head 43 is provided; in this embodiment, only one atomizing head 43 is provided.

[0023] It is worth noting that the individual atomizing head 43 is connected to the medicine tank via the delivery pipe 42. Not only is the diameter of the individual atomizing head 43 smaller than the distance between the front and rear sides of the transfer plate 3, but the spraying diameter of the individual atomizing head 43 is also smaller than the distance between the front and rear sides of the transfer plate 3, so as to ensure that the cone-shaped atomization area it generates can completely cover the falling feed without waste.

[0024] The dosing unit 4 can be equipped with a commercially available electric sprayer or an air-assisted atomizer with adjustable spray flow. Alternatively, the drug compartment 41 can be retained, and the delivery pipe 42 and atomizing head 43 can be selected from a commercially available electric spray pump + atomizing nozzle combination, or a commercially available air-assisted atomizing nozzle can be selected and simply connected to the drug compartment 41.

[0025] Before use, the tilt angle of the transfer plate 3 is adjusted by the lifting device 51. The medicine bin 41 is pre-filled with prepared medicine solution. During use, the power device 6 is started, driving the screw conveyor 21 to rotate at a constant speed, continuously and evenly conveying the dry feed in the hopper 22 to the discharge port and onto the tilted transfer plate 3. The feed slides evenly downwards on the transfer plate 3 and is distributed to different feeding troughs or any feeding transfer container (not shown in the figure). At the same time, the liquid medicine in the medicine tank is conveyed to the atomizing head 43 through the conveying pipe 42, atomized into fine droplets, and evenly sprayed onto the entire falling dry feed.

[0026] In this embodiment, the spray flow rate of the dosing unit 4 can be flexibly controlled according to the concentration of the prepared drug solution. Moreover, depending on the different feed troughs or feeding transfer containers mentioned above, it is also possible to choose whether to spray drugs onto the feed while distributing feed into the feed trough or feeding transfer container.

[0027] The dosing device of this patent is also flexible in terms of control. In a simple manual implementation, the screw conveyor 21 and the dosing unit 4 can be started and stopped and the flow rate can be adjusted by the operator according to the dosing needs at any time.

[0028] In a slightly more intelligent implementation, the material dispensing action of the screw conveyor 21 and the spraying action of the dosing unit 4 can be controlled together by a simple PLC program. Manual operation can be simplified by adding separate material dispensing action buttons and synchronous spraying action buttons. These are all common electrical engineering knowledge and will not be elaborated further.

[0029] Example 2 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the atomizing head 43 in the dosing unit 4 is arranged in several rows, with multiple heads in each row, for example, 3-5 heads. Multiple atomizing heads 43 can be connected to the delivery pipe 42 through a multi-way valve and are evenly distributed in a single row along the width direction of the transfer plate 3 (this spray component is also relatively simple and common, and will not be shown in the figure).

[0030] Compared to using a single atomizing head 43 to apply a large spray area, multiple atomizing heads 43 are activated simultaneously during drug application, spraying the falling feed from different positions in a cross-spraying manner. This effectively eliminates the uneven spraying that may occur with a single nozzle, ensuring that the feed has a greater chance of coming into contact with sufficient amounts of the drug.

[0031] The selection principles for the type or product of the dosing unit 4 are the same as in Example 1, and will not be repeated here.
