Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of mulberry leaf dispensing, and in particular to a mulberry leaf dispensing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the silkworm farming industry, the distribution of mulberry leaves is a core process for ensuring the growth and development of silkworms and the yield of cocoons and silk. It requires precise crushing, even distribution, and stable delivery of mulberry leaves, tailored to the feeding characteristics of silkworms at different instars (1-5 instars): For 1-3 instar silkworms with delicate mouthparts, the leaves need to be crushed into small pieces to avoid feeding difficulties due to overly large leaves; for 4-5 instar mature silkworms with a surge in appetite, the amount of mulberry leaves must be sufficient and evenly distributed to prevent size differentiation caused by insufficient feeding in certain areas. Furthermore, the mulberry leaf distribution method needs to be adaptable to different scenarios, such as family farms and large-scale sericulture cooperatives, taking into account both portability and ease of operation.

[0003] Currently, most small and medium-sized farms still use the "manual crushing + manual feeding" model, which has certain shortcomings: First, the crushing efficiency is low, relying on tools such as kitchen knives and scissors to chop mulberry leaves, resulting in uneven particle size. When silkworms eat, the leaves are too large, which can obstruct their feeding. Second, feeding is time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring manual labor to repeatedly scatter mulberry leaves above the breeding frame. Moreover, large-scale breeding requires the cooperation of many people, resulting in high labor costs and making it difficult to meet the needs of multiple batches of breeding. Utility Model Content

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0025] This application discloses a mulberry leaf dispensing device. (Refer to...) Figure 1-4 A mulberry leaf dispensing device includes a box 1, a crushing mechanism and a dispensing mechanism;

[0026] The interior of the box 1 is hollow. The upper surface of the box 1 is fixedly connected to the inlet 2, and the bottom of one side of the box 1 is provided with the outlet 14.

[0027] The pulverizing mechanism includes an active stirring rod 16 and two driven stirring rods 17. The active stirring rod 16 and the two driven stirring rods 17 are installed parallel to each other and rotate on the inner side wall of the housing 1. Multiple pulverizing blades 18 are fixedly installed on the side walls of the active stirring rod 16 and the driven stirring rods 17. A motor 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the housing 1. The output end of the motor 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the active stirring rod 16. The active stirring rod 16 is connected to the two driven stirring rods 17 through a drive assembly. The drive assembly includes an active gear 12 and two driven gears 13. One end of the active stirring rod 16 moves through the side wall of the housing 1 and is fixedly fitted with the active gear 12. One end of each of the two driven stirring rods 17 moves through the side wall of the housing 1 and is fixedly fitted with the driven gear 13. The active gear 12 is located between the two driven gears 13 and meshes with them.

[0028] The material dispensing mechanism includes a dispensing cylinder 20 and two guide plates 19. A rotating shaft 21 is rotatably installed through the inner side wall of the housing 1. The dispensing cylinder 20 located inside the housing 1 is fixedly fitted on the side wall of the rotating shaft 21. Multiple dispensing grooves 22 are evenly opened on the side wall of the dispensing cylinder 20. The two guide plates 19 are symmetrically fixedly installed inside the housing 1. Both guide plates 19 are inclined. The ends of the guide plates 19 are in contact with the outer side wall of the dispensing cylinder 20. The housing 1 is provided with a drive mechanism for driving the rotating shaft 21 to rotate intermittently. The drive mechanism includes a drive motor 7, a half gear 6 and a transmission gear 5. The drive motor 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the housing 1 through a fixing bracket 8. The half gear 6 is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor 7. The transmission gear 5 that meshes with the half gear 6 is fixedly fitted at one end of the rotating shaft 21.

[0029] An inclined feeding plate 15 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner side wall of the box 1. One end of the feeding plate 15 passes through the discharge port 14 and extends to the outside.

[0030] An observation window 3 is embedded in the top of one side of the box 1 to facilitate observation of the mulberry leaves inside the box 1. Handrails 4 are symmetrically fixed on one side of the box 1 to facilitate pushing the box 1.

[0031] The four corners of the lower surface of the box 1 are all fixedly installed with traveling wheels 9. The two traveling wheels 9 on the left are foot brake universal wheels, and the two traveling wheels 9 on the right are fixed wheels.

[0032] A controller 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the housing 1, which is electrically connected to the motor 10 and the drive motor 7 respectively, so as to realize intelligent control of the equipment.

[0033] The implementation principle of the mulberry leaf feeding device in this application embodiment is as follows: All electrical components in this application are externally connected to a power supply and control switch during use. During use, the box 1 serves as the core load-bearing structure, and its hollow internal design provides a closed space for mulberry leaf crushing and distribution, preventing mulberry leaf fragments from scattering and polluting the environment. Before processing, the operator pushes the device using the handrail 4 on one side of the box 1, and uses the bottom wheels 9 (the left foot brake universal wheel is responsible for steering, and the right directional wheel ensures straight-line movement) to precisely stop the device next to the breeding rack. The foot brake is then engaged to fix the position, ensuring that the discharge port 14 is aligned with the breeding frame. After starting the equipment, fresh mulberry leaves are poured into the feed port 2 on the upper surface of the box 1. The amount of mulberry leaves in the box can be observed in real time through the observation window 3 to prevent excessive feeding and jamming. The controller 11 synchronously starts the motor 10. The output of the motor 10 drives the active stirring rod 16 to rotate. The active gear 12 at one end of the active stirring rod 16 meshes with two driven gears 13, thereby driving the two driven stirring rods 17 to rotate synchronously. The active stirring rod 16 and the crushing blades 18 on the sidewalls of the driven stirring rod 17 form a cross-shearing structure, gradually crushing the mulberry leaves: for 1st-3rd instar silkworms, the speed of the motor 10 can be adjusted by the controller 11 (low speed 500-800 r / min) to crush the mulberry leaves into small leaves of 2-5 mm; for 4th-5th instar mature silkworms, the speed can be increased (1000-1500 r / min) to retain leaf fragments of 5-10 mm, meeting the feeding needs of silkworms of different instars. During the crushing process, the cross-layout of the blades ensures that the mulberry leaves are crushed without dead corners, avoiding the problem of uneven particle size caused by traditional manual crushing. The crushed mulberry leaves fall under the action of gravity and are guided by two inclined guide plates 19, accurately collecting on the surface of the distribution cylinder 20. The controller 11 starts the drive motor 7, and the output end of the drive motor 7 drives the half gear 6 to rotate. The half gear 6 intermittently meshes with the transmission gear 5 (when meshing, it drives the transmission gear 5 to rotate; when disengaged, the transmission gear 5 is stationary), thereby causing the rotating shaft 21 to drive the distribution cylinder 20 to rotate intermittently. During rotation, the feeding trough 22 on the side wall of the feeding cylinder 20 receives a fixed amount of mulberry leaves from the guide plate 19. As the feeding cylinder 20 rotates downwards, the mulberry leaves in the trough fall to the discharge plate 15 at the bottom of the box 1 under gravity. The end of the guide plate 19 fits tightly against the outer wall of the feeding cylinder 20, preventing mulberry leaves from leaking out of the gap between the feeding cylinder 20 and the guide plate 19. This ensures that each portion of mulberry leaves is quantitatively distributed through the feeding trough 22, achieving intermittent and uniform feeding, adapting to the feeding rhythm when changing breeding frames, and avoiding leakage or overfeeding. The mulberry leaves that fall onto the discharge plate 15 slide along the inclined discharge plate 15 and are smoothly transported from the discharge port 14 to the breeding frame below, completing the entire feeding process. If it is necessary to change the position of the breeding frame, simply release the foot brake, push the device to the next feeding point, and repeat the above operation.

[0034] During this process, the collaborative crushing design of the active stirring rod 16 and the dual driven stirring rods 17, combined with the adjustable motor speed, improves both crushing efficiency and precision, making it suitable for multi-age breeding. The intermittent rotation of the feeding cylinder 20 and the quantitative design of the feeding trough 22 ensure uniform and controllable feeding, reducing waste and disease. The controller 11 realizes integrated control of the motor 10 and the drive motor 7. Parameter settings (speed, feeding interval) are completed through the touch interface. At the same time, the overall structure is relatively simple and easy to use, improving the practicality of the device.
