Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of aquaculture machinery technology, and in particular relates to a feed storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the promotion of industrialized poultry farming technology, improving the uniformity of feed supply and solving the problem of feed stratification are key factors determining the quality of poultry farming. In practical applications, feed silos are typically used to hold a predetermined amount of feed, which is then transported to various farming units via pipelines. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220308110U discloses a quantitative feed conveying system that stores feed in silos and supplies it externally. However, since the feed in the silos is generally in granular or powder form, it accumulates in the silo and is discharged through an outlet at the bottom. During the discharge process, the feed tends to stick to the silo walls due to gravity, forming an "arching" phenomenon. This prevents the feed from being discharged smoothly. To solve this problem, costly vibration and stirring devices are required to assist in the discharge, reducing the reliability of the silo and increasing manufacturing costs. Therefore, the technical problem to be solved in this application is how to design a technology that reduces residual feed inside the storage device to improve its reliability and reduce manufacturing costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a storage device that reduces residual feed inside the storage device to improve its reliability.

[0004] To achieve the above technical objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: In one aspect, this application provides a material storage device, comprising: The material bin includes a material cylinder and a first transition connector. The first transition connector is generally funnel-shaped. A first connection port is provided at the top of the first transition connector, and a second connection port is provided at the bottom of the first transition connector. The area of ​​the first connection port is 3-25 times the area of ​​the second connection port, and the height of the first transition connector is 0.4-2.1 times the height of the material cylinder. The material cylinder is connected to the first connection port. The feeding mechanism includes a second transition connector and a feeding assembly. The top of the second transition connector is provided with a third connection port, and the bottom of the second transition connector is provided with a fourth connection port. The vertical projection of the third connection port and the vertical projection of the fourth connection port partially overlap. The feeding assembly includes a feeding shell and a feeding drive component. The feeding shell is provided with an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is arranged above the outlet and is connected to the fourth connection port. The feeding drive component is movably disposed in the feeding shell and configured to drive the feed input through the inlet to be output from the outlet. The third connection port is connected to the second connection port.

[0005] In one embodiment, the third connection port is a circular port or an elliptical port.

[0006] In one embodiment, the fourth connection port is a strip-shaped port; The sidewall of the second transition connector smoothly transitions between the third connection port and the second connection port.

[0007] In one embodiment, the feeding drive component is an auger, which extends laterally and is rotatably disposed in the feeding housing; The discharge port is located at one end of the feeding shell, and a drive motor is provided on the feeding shell. The drive motor is configured to drive the auger to rotate in the feeding shell.

[0008] In one embodiment, the feeding drive component includes a rotating shaft and a plurality of paddles disposed on the rotating shaft. The paddles extend along the length direction of the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft extends laterally and is rotatably disposed in the feeding housing. The discharge port is located at the bottom of the feeding shell, and a drive motor is provided on the feeding shell. The drive motor is configured to drive the auger to rotate in the feeding shell.

[0009] In one embodiment, the cylinder wall is provided with multiple protruding structures, which are arranged sequentially from top to bottom.

[0010] In one embodiment, the material cylinder includes a cylinder body and a top cover. The cylinder body has the protruding structure on its wall, the top cover has a conical structure, and the top of the top cover has a feeding port. The top cover is disposed on the cylinder body. The cylindrical body is connected to the first connection port.

[0011] In one embodiment, the area of ​​the first connection port is 4-16 times the area of ​​the second connection port.

[0012] In one embodiment, the height of the first transition connector is 0.8-1.3 times the height of the barrel.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this application are as follows: By setting a first transition connector at the bottom of the feed cylinder, the ratio of the area of ​​the first connection port to the area of ​​the second connection port of the first transition connector is within a set range, ensuring that the material can smoothly exit from the second connection port after entering the first transition connector from the first connection port, thus meeting the requirement of smooth material discharge. Furthermore, since the ratio of the height of the feed cylinder to the height of the first transition connector is within a set range, while ensuring that the storage space formed by the feed cylinder and the first transition connector can meet the user's required storage capacity, the inner wall of the first transition connector is arranged to be as vertical as possible, thereby reducing the impact of feed on the first transition connector. The friction generated between the inner walls of the connectors allows the feed in the hopper to fall effectively under gravity, reducing the amount of feed adhering to the cylinder wall. The third connection port of the feeding mechanism needs to meet the requirements of the second connection port, while the fourth connection port of the feeding mechanism needs to meet the requirements of installing the feeding component. Therefore, the projected area of ​​the third connection port needs to be larger than that of the fourth connection port. The feed conveyed from the third connection port to the second transition connector is input into the feeding shell through the fourth connection port and output by the feeding drive component, thereby reducing the amount of feed remaining inside the storage device and improving its reliability. Since no additional vibration or stirring device is required, the overall manufacturing cost is reduced. Attached Figure Description

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0018] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this application provides a material storage device, including: The material bin 1 includes a material cylinder 11 and a first transition connector 12. The first transition connector 12 has an overall trumpet-shaped structure. A first connection port 121 is provided at the top of the first transition connector 12, and a second connection port 122 is provided at the bottom of the first transition connector 12. The area of ​​the first connection port 121 is 3-25 times the area of ​​the second connection port 122, and the height of the first transition connector 12 is 0.4-2.1 times the height of the material cylinder 11. The material cylinder 11 is connected to the first connection port 121. The feeding mechanism 2 includes a second transition connector 21 and a feeding assembly 22. The top of the second transition connector 21 is provided with a third connection port 211, and the bottom of the second transition connector 21 is provided with a fourth connection port 212. The vertical projection of the third connection port 211 and the vertical projection of the fourth connection port 212 partially overlap. The feeding assembly 22 includes a feeding shell 221 and a feeding drive component 222. The feeding shell 221 is provided with an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is arranged above the outlet and is connected to the fourth connection port 212. The feeding drive component 222 is movably disposed in the feeding shell 221 and configured to drive the feed input through the inlet to be output from the outlet. The third connection port 211 is connected to the second connection port 122.

[0019] Specifically, the feed bin 1 is used to store feed. The feed bin 1 includes a feed cylinder 11 and a first transition connector 12. The feed cylinder 11 and the first transition connector 12 together hold feed to meet the requirement of holding a set amount of feed in the feed bin 1. For the first transition connector 12, the area of ​​the first connection port 121 of the first transition connector 12 is larger than the area of ​​the second connection port 122. The first connection port 121 is used to connect to the bottom of the feed cylinder 11. The feed cylinder 11 is fixedly installed above the first transition connector 12. For example, the first connection port 121 is provided with an outward flange to form a flange structure to be fixedly connected to the flange at the bottom of the feed cylinder 11 by bolts. The second connection port 122 is arranged at the bottom and is used to output the feed in the first transition connector 12 to the feeding mechanism 2.

[0020] The area of ​​the first connection port 121 is generally the same as the area of ​​the lower port of the feed cylinder 11. The area of ​​the second connection port 122 needs to meet the requirement of smooth feed output. Therefore, the larger the area of ​​the second connection port 122, the more conducive it is to smooth feed output. In addition, the height of the feed cylinder 11 mainly determines the storage capacity of the feed box 1. When the storage capacity of the feed cylinder 11 reaches the set requirement, in order to reduce the adhesion of feed to the side wall in the first transition connector 12, the ratio of the height of the first transition connector 12 to the height of the feed cylinder 11 is designed within a set range. Based on the reasonable design of the areas of the first connection port 121 and the second connection port 122 of the first transition connector 12, the height of the first transition connector 12 is further limited so that the inclination angle of the inner side wall of the first transition connector 12 is within a suitable range. In this way, the feed can be smoothly output from the second connection port 122 along the inner side wall of the first transition connector 12.

[0021] In addition, the feeding mechanism 2 located at the bottom of the feed hopper 1 needs to meet the connection requirements with the larger second connection port 122, and also needs to ensure smooth feed output from the feeding assembly 22. The feeding mechanism 2 is equipped with a second transition connector 21 to fix the feeding assembly 22 to the bottom of the first transition connector 12. Specifically, the third connection port 211 at the top of the second transition connector 21 matches the size of the second connection port 122, and the second fixed connector is connected to the second connection port 122 through the third connection port 211. For example, the second connection port 122 and the third connection port 211 are respectively provided with outward flanges to form a flange structure, and the flange structure of the second connection port 122 and the flange structure of the third connection port 211 are fixedly connected together by bolts. The feeding shell 221 is installed on the fourth connection port 212, and the feed inlet at the top of the feeding shell 221 is connected to the fourth connection port 212. The connection method can also be to use outward flanges to form a flange structure, which will not be elaborated here.

[0022] The vertical projection of the third connection port 211 overlaps with the vertical projection of the fourth connection port 212. This allows the second transition connector 21 to be designed with a variable diameter according to the specific structural form of the blanking assembly 22 to meet the requirements of installation and use.

[0023] In order to facilitate on-site support and installation, the storage device also includes a support frame 3, and the material box 1 is fixedly installed on the support frame 3.

[0024] In one embodiment, the third connection port 211 is a circular port or an elliptical port.

[0025] Specifically, taking the cross-section of the material cylinder 11 as circular and the cross-section of the first transition connector 12 as circular as an example, the corresponding third connection port 211 is also circular. The fourth connection port 212 can be a strip-shaped port to meet the requirements of installing the material unloading shell 221.

[0026] Furthermore, the sidewall of the second transition connector 21 smoothly transitions between the third connection port 211 and the second connection port 122.

[0027] Specifically, since the cross-sectional shape of the second transition connector 21 is variable, in order to reduce the adhesion of feed to the inner sidewall in the second transition connector 21, the sidewall of the second transition connector 21 is designed as a smooth transition surface between the third connection port 211 and the fourth connection port 212 to ensure that the feed can fall and be output smoothly.

[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the feeding drive component 222 is an auger, which extends laterally and is rotatably disposed in the feeding housing 221; The discharge port is arranged at one end of the feeding shell 221, and a drive motor 223 is provided on the feeding shell 221. The drive motor 223 is configured to drive the auger to rotate in the feeding shell 221.

[0029] Specifically, the feeding shell 221 is strip-shaped, and the auger is installed in the feeding shell 221. Driven by the drive motor 223, the auger rotates in the feeding shell 221 so that the feed falling into the feeding shell 221 is output from the discharge port.

[0030] In another embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the feeding drive component 222 includes a rotating shaft 2221 and a plurality of paddles 2222 disposed on the rotating shaft 2221. The paddles 2222 extend along the length direction of the rotating shaft 2221, and the rotating shaft 2221 extends laterally and is rotatably disposed in the feeding housing 221. The discharge port is arranged at the bottom of the feeding shell 221, and a drive motor 223 is provided on the feeding shell 221. The drive motor 223 is configured to drive the auger to rotate in the feeding shell 221.

[0031] Specifically, the feeding shell 221 is strip-shaped, and the bottom of the feeding shell 221 also forms a strip-shaped discharge port. The rotating shaft 2221 and the paddle 2222 are arranged in the feeding shell 221. Under the drive of the drive motor 223, the rotating shaft 2221 rotates in the feeding shell 221 so that the feed falling into the feeding shell 221 is output from the discharge port through the paddle 2222.

[0032] In one embodiment, the material cylinder 11 includes a cylinder body 111 and a top cover 112. The cylinder body 111 has a protruding structure 113 on its wall. The top cover 112 has a conical structure and a feeding port is provided at the top of the top cover 112. The top cover 112 is disposed on the cylinder body 111. The cylinder 111 is connected to the first connection port 121.

[0033] Specifically, the feed cylinder 11 includes a cylinder body 111 and a top cover 112 connected together. The top of the top cover 112 is provided with a feeding port to allow the feed truck to supply feed into the feed cylinder 11. The upper and lower ends of the cylinder body 111 are respectively provided with outward flanges to form a flange structure, thereby meeting the installation requirements with the top cover 112 and the first transition connector 12.

[0034] Furthermore, the cylinder wall of the material cylinder 11 is provided with multiple protrusions 113, which are arranged sequentially from top to bottom.

[0035] Specifically, the protruding structure 113 is formed on the cylinder 111, and the structure of the cylinder 111 can effectively improve its own structural strength.

[0036] In one embodiment, the area of ​​the first connection port 121 is 4-16 times the area of ​​the second connection port 122. The height of the first transition connector 12 is 0.8-1.3 times the height of the barrel 11.

[0037] Specifically, the structural dimensions of the material bin 1 are illustrated below.

[0038] like Figure 7 As shown, the diameter of the cylinder 111 is 3670mm, the diameter of the first connecting port 121 is 3670mm, the diameter of the second connecting port 122 is 800mm, the height of the first transition connector 12 is 4500mm, the height range of the cylinder 111 is 1120mm-2720mm, and the height of the top cover 112 is 1020mm.

[0040] like Figure 9 As shown, the diameter of the cylinder 111 is 2750mm, the diameter of the first connecting port 121 is 2750mm, the diameter of the second connecting port 122 is 600mm, the height of the first transition connector 12 is 3370mm, the height range of the cylinder 111 is 1120mm-3360mm, and the height of the top cover 112 is 925mm.

[0041] like Figure 10 As shown, the diameter of the cylinder 111 is 2750mm, the diameter of the first connecting port 121 is 2750mm, the diameter of the second connecting port 122 is 1600mm, the height of the first transition connector 12 is 1825mm, the height range of the cylinder 111 is 1120mm-3360mm, and the height of the top cover 112 is 925mm.

[0042] The advantages and positive effects of this application are as follows: By setting a first transition connector at the bottom of the feed cylinder, the ratio of the area of ​​the first connection port to the area of ​​the second connection port of the first transition connector is within a set range. This ensures that after the material enters the first transition connector from the first connection port, it can be smoothly output from the second connection port, thus meeting the requirement of smooth material discharge. Furthermore, since the ratio of the height of the feed cylinder to the height of the first transition connector is within a set range, while ensuring that the storage space formed by the feed cylinder and the first transition connector can meet the user's required storage capacity, the inner wall of the first transition connector is arranged to be as vertical as possible, thereby reducing feed consumption. The friction generated between the feed and the inner wall of the first transition connector allows the feed in the hopper to fall effectively under gravity, reducing the amount of feed adhering to the cylinder wall and forming an "arching" phenomenon. The third connection port of the feeding mechanism needs to meet the requirements of the second connection port, and the fourth connection port of the feeding mechanism needs to meet the requirements of installing the feeding component. Therefore, the projected area of ​​the third connection port needs to be larger than the projected area of ​​the fourth connection port. The feed conveyed from the third connection port to the second transition connector is input into the feeding shell through the fourth connection port and output by the feeding drive component, thereby reducing the amount of feed remaining inside the storage device and improving its reliability.
