An auger means is provided in the conduit means and is adapted to convey the feed into the interior of the perforated screen so that it can be ground by the rotatable rotor therein. The rotor is comprised of a plurality of spaced apart grinding hammers which are staggered with respect to each other so as to provide a spiral configuration to the rotor.

6 Claims, 6 Drawing Figures PATENTEnmzs 1972 3.652 O20 sum 2 UF 2 5 al Wham FEED MILL Conventional feed grinding mills have limited capacities due to the arrangement of the grinding rotor and the perforated screens generally associated therewith. The conventional feed grinding mills employ perforated screens with a diameter of approximately 14 to 16 inches and the majority of the ground material is usually driven outwardly there through a particular portion of the screen. Additionally, the material is generally fed to only one portion of the screen. The utilization of only one portion of the screen'for input and discharge is a severe limitation upon the capacity of the mill. The design of the grinding rotors in the conventional feed grinding mills is such that a balance problem is usually encountered since these rotors tend to pick up the incoming material in slugs rather than in a uniform flow.
Therefore, it is a principal object of this invention to provide a feed grinding mill having a large capacity.
A further object of this invention is to provide a feed grinding mill including a rotor having spirally arranged grinding hammers which eliminates rotor balance problems.
A further object of this invention is to provide a feed grinding mill wherein the ground material is driven outwardly throughout the entire screen rather than one portion of the screen.
A further object of this invention is to provide a feed grinding mill wherein the feed is conveyed to the grinding rotor in a uniform manner.
A further object of this invention is to provide a feed grinding mill wherein the grinding hammers are uniformly utilized.
A further object of this invention is to provide a feed grinding mill especially well adapted for use in the feed mixing and grinding environment.
A further object of this invention is to provide a feed grinding mill which is economically manufactured, durable in use and refined in appearance.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the mill of this invention.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view as seen along lines 22 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a partial sectional view as seen along lines 3-3 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a partial sectional view as seen along lines 44 of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the conduit means employed in this invention.
FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the grinding rotor and the split screen which receives the same.
The feed mill of this invention is indicated by the reference numeral 10 and generally comprises a housing 12 having a feed mixing and metering apparatus 14 positioned thereon as shown in FIG. I. Housing 12 generally includes the bottom 16, front wall 18, back wall 20, side walls 22 and 24, and top 26. Front wall 18 has an access cover removably mounted thereon over access opening 31 by means of screws 32 while side wall 24 is removably mounted on the housing 12 by means of locking handles 34.
The reference numeral 94 refers to a conduit means adapted to receive material from hopper 92 and adapted to direct the material to grinding compartment 44. Conduit means 94 comprises a tubular member 96 and a throat portion 98 extending from one end thereof. Tubular member 96 has an open upper end 100 which communicates with the lower end of hopper 92. Tubular member 96 also includes an end wall 102 having an opening 104 formed therein through which shaft 78 extends. A bearing 106 is mounted on end wall 102 to support shaft 78. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, shaft 78 extends through tubular member 96 into one end of throat portion 98 and has double auger flighting 108 thereon.
A circular-like perforated screen 146 extends around the grinding hammers and has its opposite ends 148 and 150 slightably received in channels 122 and 124 respectively. Side edge 152 is positioned adjacent wall member 40 and side edge 154 is positioned adjacent the inside surface of access cover 30. Ring 154 is secured to wall member 40 and extends around the periphery of side edge 152 of screen 146 to maintain the screen in its proper position with respect to the rotor 135.
Preferably, screen 146 has an inside diameter of 8 inches and a length of 8 inches. Preferably, the diameter of rotor 135 is 7 and 36 inches which leaves a clearance of /s inch between the ends of the hammer blades and the inside surface of screen 146. The opening at end 1 12 of throat portion 98 is preferably 2 inches by 8 inches with the preferred diameter of tubular member 96 being 4 inches. Additionally, the preferred length of top 114 is 4 inches.
In FIG. 2, the numeral 156 refers to an electrical control box while the numeral 158 in FIG. 1 refers to a control panel for controlling the operation of the mixing and metering apparatus as well as the grinding apparatus.
In operation, various feeds, minerals, supplements, etc. would be contained in separate compartments in the hopper 160 of the apparatus 14. Hopper 160 would be operatively connected to a source of these materials. The control panel 158 is used to control the metering or mixing of the materials in the hopper 160 and would supply the same in a precise percentage to the hopper 92.
The material in hopper 92 is discharged from the lower end thereof into the interior of tubular member 96. The double flighting 108 on the rotating shaft 78 causes the material to be augered into the interior of throat portion 98 of the conduit means 94. The material is pushed upwardly through throat portion 98 which spreads the material uniformly therethrough so that the material is discharged from the open end 112 in a uniform manner and under uniform pressure. The material is introduced into the interior of screen 146 and into contact with the spirally arranged and rotating hammer blades 134. The spiral arrangement of the hammer blades 134 provides better balance for the rotor 135 since the rotor picks up the material along the entire 8 inch total length of the screen. The material is fed to the rotor along the entire length of the screen which increases the capacity of the mill. The spiral arrangement of the hammer blades causes the ground material to be driven outwardly through the screen throughout the entire area of the screen which greatly increases the capacity of the mill. The ground material which is driven outwardly through the screen 146 is conveyed from the compartment 44 by the flighting 162 and shaft 150.
In conclusion, the relationship of the tubular member 96, throat portion 98, with respect to the screen 146 and its relationship with the spirally arranged hammer blades provides a mill which has a far greater capacity than conventional mills. The relationship of the components identified above not only increases the capacity of the mill but also increases the efficiency of the mill. Thus it can be seen that the mill accomplishes at least all of its stated objectives.
