Description TMR FEED VEHICLE

Technical Field

[1] The present invention relates to a customized vehicle for mixing and transporting total mixed ration (TMR) feed(hereafter, "TMR feed vehicle", which is capable of conforming to the mixing ratio of respective raw materials and total weight of the TMR feed demanded differently from respective stock farms based on the cattle group capacity, the number of the individual animals or the conditions of the nutrition, and supplying the TMR feed with completely mixed state to the cattle as soon as the transporting vehicle arrives at the consuming place (stock farm) by uniformly mixing the raw materials during the transportation to the consuming place after loading the raw materials of the demanded TMR feed on a carrying chamber.

[2] Particularly, the present invention relates to a customized TMR feed vehicle, capable of mixing the raw materials for the TMR feed and driving on the road without causing any problems by dividing the power source (engine) for use in the driving of the vehicle and a power source (engine-hydraulic driving device) for use in the mixing of the raw materials of the TMR feed. Background Art

[3] The TMR feed supplied to diary cattle/beef cattle is made by mixing a coarse feed stuff such as dried grass, rice straw, and ensilage with a soybean/corn, and the like. In this instance, the mixing amount (mixing ratio) of the coarse feed stuff is determined depending on the nutrition conditions, or the cattle group capacity of the individual animal. Accordingly, the preferred mixing ratio is different for every stock farm. In addition, from the view point of the cattle, if the coarse feed stuff and the concentrated feed stuff are not mixed properly, they have an unbalanced diet because the coarse feed stuff is less preferred than the concentrated feed stuff. As a result, the breed cost will be increased and the cattle are easily subject to several diseases due to the lack of intake amount of the coarse feed stuff.

[4]

[5] With regard to the distribution of the TMR feed, the TMR feed has been supplied in a supplier producing method in Korea. However, one of the principal problems of the supplier producing method resides in that it is impossible to conform to the mixing ratio of the coarse feed stuff required by the stock farm, because the TMR feed has been produced in mass production of a few selected items.

[6] Furthermore, there has been a tendency that the mixing ratio of the raw materials for the TMR feed is changed according to the management condition or the income

structure of the supplier, kind and total stock of the reserved raw materials. Also, there was a problem that the mixing ratio of the coarse feed stuff could not exceed 30% according to the performance of the factory facilities (especially, a mixer).

[7] Accordingly, most of the stock farms supply the feed to the cattle after they make the feed personally by purchasing the TMR feed encased in a gunny sack, then supplying the TMR feed into the feed mixing device together with the coarse feed stuff, and then mixing them uniformly.

[8] However, with regard to this process, several problems such as disposal of the gunny sack, loading and unloading of the encased TMR feed, and economic burden of preparing separate mixing device, were originated.

[9]

[10] In general, the mixer used in the mixing of the coarse feed stuff and the concentrated feed stuff, comprises a carrying box into which the raw materials of the TMR feed are supplied, and an auger for mixing the raw materials uniformly, and can be divided into four type such as traction type/track type/self-transporting type/fixed type mixer according to the transporting manner and the possibility of transporting in the cattle shed.

[11] Among them, the traction type/track type mixer is one, in which the auger is rotated by means of the power (a part of the output) produced from the driving engine of the traction vehicle with connecting a feed mixing device having wheels to a rear part of the traction vehicle like a trailer and pulling it at very low speed. The self-transporting type mixer is identical with the traction type/track type mixer in that the auger is rotated by means of a part of the output produced from the engine of the traction vehicle, but it is different from the traction type/track type mixer in that the feed mixing device is mounted and secured to the frame of the traction vehicle. Also, in the fixed type mixer, the feed mixing device is positioned at the circumference of the stock farm as it is, and it is not transported.

[12] However, with regard to the traction type/track type/self -transporting type mixer, while the vehicle can be transported at very low speed within the stock farm under an assumption that there is no change of the speed because both the rotation power of the auger and the driving power of the vehicle are produced from an engine, but it can not drive on the road in fact.

[13] For instance, according to the self-transporting type feed transporting vehicle disclosed in Korean utility model publication No. 1996-6115 entitled "a transporting type feed mixer for domestic animals", the power is transferred to the auger through a P.T.O. (power take off) mounted at the engine, so that the rotation power and the speed of the auger can be changed according to the output and the rotation number of the engine. As a result, since the auger rotates with irregular speed or stops according to

the driving conditions of the vehicle, the mixing of the raw materials of the TMR feed cannot be accomplished as it should, and the sufficient power required for driving cannot be obtained because the output of the engine is consumed by dividing it into two parts.

Disclosure of Invention

Technical Problem

[14] Accordingly, the present invention has been devised to solve such problems occurring in the conventional producing method and distribution method of the TMR feed, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a customized TMR feed vehicle capable of uniformly mixing the raw materials of the TMR feed regardless of the driving of the vehicle by providing the driving power source of the vehicle and the mixing power source used in the mixing of the raw materials of the TMR feed, separately.

[15] Also, another object of the present invention is to provide a customized TMR feed vehicle, which is adapted to accomplish the mixing of the raw materials for the TMR feed at an optimal conditions by automatically adjusting the output of the mixing power source according to the kind and input of the raw materials for the TMR feed.

[16] In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a customized TMR feed vehicle, which is adapted to prevent the inner temperature of the carrying box from being overheated due to the excessive operation of the mixing means to thereby avoid the degeneration of the raw materials for the TMR feed due to heat or the breakage of the fiber element/nutritive value by controlling the rotation number of the mixing means, which is driven by means of the mixing power source, to be between 20rpm to 25rpm.

[17] In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a customized TMR feed vehicle capable of entering into the cattle shed as soon as the transporting vehicle arrives at the consuming place and supplying the TMR feed under completely mixed state to the domestic animal (cattle) by mixing the whole raw materials supplied into the carrying box uniformly before the vehicle arrives at the consuming place. As a result, according to the TMR feed vehicle of the present invention, it is possible to mix the coarse feed stuff (dried grass) by about 100% to the maximum of the total weight of the feed, and can produce and transport the TMR feed, which is differently demanded from every farm stock according to the cattle group capacity, the number of the individual animal, or the nutrition state, so that it conforms to the mixing ratio for every raw materials and the total weight as is demanded from the consumer (demander).

[18] Also, another object of the present invention is to provide a customized TMR feed

vehicle, which is capable of operating the mixing means without using the commercial electric source and the speed reduction device, through constructing the engine- hydraulic power generating device by the conventional engine (for instance, a driving engine for a truck) provided with the power controlling means (governor), the conventional hydraulic pump and the hydraulic motor for outputting big torque with low rotation number after converting the output of the engine into the hydraulic energy. In this case, the problem of short-circuit due to use of the electric power does not at all produced.

[19] Furthermore, another object of the present invention is to provide a customized

TMR feed vehicle, in which the coarse feed stuff can be sheared finely by means of the finely cutting action of the cutters at the time of mixing the raw materials of the TMR feed, by installing a plurality of cutters at the end of a blade for the auger, when the auger is used as the mixing means of the present invention.

[20] Therefore, according to the customized TMR feed vehicle of the present invention, the installation cost can be largely reduced not less than 50% in contrast with that of the conventional factory facilities from the economical point of view, the purchasing cost of the TMR feed can be reduced not less than 50% from the consumer's point of view because the producer and the consumer (farm stacker) can be directly connected without the intervention of the intermediate distributors, the production labor force can be reduced not less than 60% in contrast with the conventional factory facilities, and the labor force required for the supply of the conventional TMR feed to the cattle can be reduced by 100% because the customized TMR feed, which was produced based on the demand from the consumer, is supplied directly to the domestic animals. Technical Solution

[21] The customized TMR feed vehicle of the present invention, by which the technical task of the present invention can be achieved, comprises a carrying box into which demanded raw materials for the TMR feed are charged and loaded; a mixing means installed across the inside of the carrying box; an engine-hydraulic type power generating device for generating the power to be applied to the mixing means; and a vehicle on which the carrying box and the engine-hydraulic power generating device are installed; whereby the raw materials of the TMR feed charged and loaded in the carrying box are transported while being mixed and converted into the TMR feed by the mixing action of the mixing means, when the dynamic power generated from the engine-hydraulic type power generating device is applied into the mixing means during the driving of the vehicle. (Claim 1) Herein, the driving vehicle can be a specially manufactured vehicle to conform to the object of the present invention or a commercial vehicle such as a truck having a capacity of 1 ton/5 ton/ lOton, and it is not restricted in

the size and the volume percentage thereof.

[22]

[23] Also, the engine-hydraulic type power generating device comprises a general engine which can be controlled output; a hydraulic pump connected to an output end of the engine for converting the rotation power of the engine into hydraulic energy; and a hydraulic motor which applies hydraulic energy produced from the hydraulic pump to the mixing means after conversion into rotation power. (Claim 2) In this instance, a flywheel can be further installed between the output end of the engine and the hydraulic pump to equalize the unequal output of the engine.

[24]

[25] In addition, a weight detecting means can be installed between the carrying box and the vehicle for detecting the weight of the TMR feed charged into or discharged from the carrying box, an indicator for displaying the result of the detected weight obtained from the weight detecting means can be installed at a driver's seat of the vehicle. (Claim 3)

[26]

[27] Furthermore, a speed reduction device can be installed between the mixing means and the engine-hydraulic type power generating device. (Claim 4) In this instance, a planetary gear device can be preferably used as the speed reduction device.

[28]

[29] More specifically, (D) the carrying box among the above constituting elements is not restricted at all with regard to the appearance and the capacity. For instance, the appearance can be a square box shape or a cylindrical shape, and it can be manufactured so that the capacity is from hundreds of number Dto tens of number tons in view of the weight and from 1 m to tens of number m in view of the volume. However, it is preferable to manufacture the carrying box to be shaped as a box shape having a capacity of less than five tons in consideration of the facility and safety of the manufacture, and it is preferable that the lower shape of the carrying box is formed to be a hopper shape so that the discharge of the TMR feed can be easily accomplished.

[30] Also, a discharge door can be installed at the front portion, center portion, or back portion of the right or left side of the carrying box, so that it is closed during the driving of the vehicle and is opened to supply the TMR feed to the cattle when it arrives at the consuming place. In this regard, the discharge door can be closed and opened by means of the hydraulic cylinder-piston device or the solenoid valve.

[31] Furthermore, in the TMR feed vehicle of the present invention, a conveyor can be installed at the lower of the carrying box with spaced apart from the discharge door, so that the TMR feed can be supplied to an appropriate position for the cattle to eat the feed. According to the construction of the present invention, the TMR feed vehicle of

the present invention can enter into the cattle shed and supply the TMR feed to the domestic animals. In this regard, the TMR feed can be supplied to the diary cattle/beef cattle, at any side of the TMR feed vehicle they are positioned without changing the entering direction of the vehicle.

[32] In addition, at least one charge opening can be provided at the front portion, center portion, back portion of the upper surface or side upper end in the carrying box, to input the raw materials for the TMR feed without intervening the opening and closing of the discharge door. The charge opening can be provided with a manual door, which is opened and closed by means of the manpower, or an automatic door closed and opened automatically by means of the conventional hydraulic cylinder-piston device or the solenoid valve as the discharge door.

[33] Also, there can be provided a frame for installing the engine-hydraulic type power generating device of the present invention at the front or rear surface of the carrying box. The frame can be constructed by cutting the conventional metal beam, the steel sheet etc. into proper length and welding it.

[34] In addition, a hole can be formed at both sides of the front and back lower portions of the carrying box and mechanical element such as a bearing, a snap ring, and the like can be installed in the hole for supporting both ends of the mixing means in order to freely rotate.

[35]

[36] (D) With regard to the mixing means, for instance, an auger formed with a spiral blade along the outer surface of the rotation shaft, or any type of the mixing means (type III) can be used, which is formed with a plurality of paddles charging separately at the outer surface of the rotation shaft.

[37] Also, with regard to the auger, either type I which collect raw materials for the

TMR feed toward one end side of the rotation shaft, or type II which collect raw materials for the TMR feed toward the mid region of the length (direction) of the rotation shaft from both ends of the rotation shaft can be adapted.

[38] Also, as described in Korean utility model registration No. 370599, the registration of which was recently cancelled, a plurality of cutters can be secured additionally close to the end of the blade for finely shearing the coarse feed stuff (dried grass and the like).

[39]

[40] The augers of the type II can be installed at lower right and left sides of the carrying box such that each of them transversely penetrates the inside of the carrying box, so that the raw materials in the carrying box can be mixed uniformly. According to the construction, the raw materials of the TMR feed are transported to the center from both ends of the type II auger and are concentrated gradually at the inside center of the

carrying box, so that the raw materials of the TMR feed can be continuously stirred and mixed with the falling down or flowing down of the raw materials toward the bottom of the carrying box before or when the raw materials of the TMR feed reach the inside surface (upper surface) of the carrying box, if the height of the concentrated raw materials becomes to be above any level.

[41] Whereas, if the type I augers are installed to penetrate through the lower right and left sides of the carrying box, the above described mixing means (with paddles) of type in can be installed above the augers of type I or the augers of type I can be installed at the inside of the carrying box so that they are disposed to be spaced apart in the upper and lower directions and to rotate in the opposite directions. According to such construction, since the raw materials of the TMR feed, which are driven into one side of the carrying box by means of the mixing action (rotation movement) of the mixing means positioned at the relatively lower portion, can be transported to a direction opposite to the previous direction by means of the mixing action of the different mixing means positioned at the relatively higher side, they can be uniformly mixed with reciprocating to both ends of the carrying box without the continuous compression toward one side. Especially, since the mixing means of type in with the paddles cannot produce the effect of transporting the raw materials of the TMR feed forwardly, it is possible to omit the upper side mixing means for returning the raw materials in the carrying box. If the upper side mixing means have been installed, it can be started or stopped to operate according to the requirement. Herein, as for the type m mixing means, for instance, what is shown in FIG. 6 of registered patent No. 477205 can be used.

[42]

[43] (D)The engine-hydraulic power generating device, which is one of the principal constituting elements of the present invention, can be comprised of a mixing engine, a hydraulic pump, and a hydraulic motor.

[44] It is preferable to use a truck engine capable of controlling the output characteristic of the engine by means of the electronic or mechanical governor as for the mixing engine, and a hydraulic pump of variable capacity can be preferably used as for the hydraulic pump. Also, a vane type, a gear type or a plunger type hydraulic motor can be used as for the hydraulic motor, and especially, it is preferable to use a radial plunger type hydraulic motor, which operates at low speed and high output.

[45] According to such construction, the rotation power generated from the mixing engine can be converted into high pressure hydraulic energy at the hydraulic pump and further converted into the rotation energy of low speed-high output at the hydraulic motor, and then applied into the mixing means.

[46]

[47] (D) With regard to the speed reduction device, which is applicable to the present invention, it can comprise a round plate (hub plate) rotatably driven at low speed in coupled movement with the idle rotation of the planetary gear, a driving gear installed at one surface of the round plate, and an output gear rotatably driven in direct engagement with the driving gear or via another gear.

[48] Accordingly, the auger can be driven at low speed-high output if the one shaft of the auger is connected to the center shaft of the output gear.

Advantageous Effects

[49] Therefore, according to the customized TMR feed vehicle of the present invention, since the installation invest cost per the production capacity can be reduced by more than 50% in contrast with the conventional TMR feed production factory, it is possible to supply various customized TMR feed conforming to the requirement from every stock farm at low price, and also supply sufficient amount of coarse feed stuff to the diary cattle/beef cattle.

Mode for the Invention

[80] Hereinafter, the constitution and action of the customized TMR feed vehicle according to the respective preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the appended drawings.

[81]

[82] Embodiment Example 1

[83] In the present specification, FIG. 1 is a pattern view showing a planar constitution of a TMR feed vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a pattern view showing the side constitution of the TMR feed vehicle shown in FIG. 1, FIGs. 3 and 4 are pattern views showing the front side and rear side of the carrying box in the TMR feed vehicle shown in FIG. 1, FIGs. 5 and 6 are sectional view and a front view of the speed reduction device according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIGs. 7 through 11 are real photographs showing engagement states between the gears of the speed reduction device according to the present invention, and FIG. 12 is a view showing the power transmission system of the engine -hydraulic power generating device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[84]

[85] As shown in the drawings, the TMR feed vehicle of the present embodiment comprises, for instance, a carrying box 100 having a capacity of two tons, which is loaded on a freight room located at the rear of a vehicle 600 for transporting the

freight, and an engine-hydraulic power generating device installed at an engine room 110 at the front side of the carrying box to drive augers 200 of type II installed through the lower right and left sides of the carrying box.

[86] The engine room 110 is manufactured into a box shape by using metallic enduring material such as beam, section steel, or steel sheet, and the like, and is provided with an opening and closing type door at one side of the engine room so that inside of the engine room can be inspected, if required.

[87] A charge opening is formed at the center of an upper surface of the carrying box

100 for charging the raw materials of the TMR feed into the carrying box, and a sliding door 120 is installed at the charge opening to be opened and closed by means of the hydraulic pressure. The sliding door 120 can be operated by turning on, off a door button for opening and closing the sliding door, the button being disposed on a controller 620 arranged at a driver's seat, or operating a lever toward a opening position or a closing position (see to FIGs. 1 and X).

[88] Also, a discharge opening is formed at the center of the right and left sides of the carrying box 100 for discharging the TMR feed in the carrying box to the outside, and a discharge door 140 is installed at the discharge opening so that it can be opened and closed by means of the conventional hydraulic means. The discharge door 140 can be opened and closed in a manner of pulling and lifting upward as shown in FIG. 2, or can be opened and closed in a manner of pushing upward from the lower side as shown in FIG. 15. In addition, a conveyor 160 operated by means of the hydraulic pressure is installed at the lower side of the carrying box at which the discharge door 140 is installed, so that the TMR feed, which is discharged through the discharge door to the outside, can be supplied to a proper site for the domestic animals to take it.

[89]

[90] Furthermore, a front end of a piston 185 of the hydraulic cylinder device, one end of which is hinged to the lower surface of the carrying box, is secured to one side of the conveyor so that a guide channel of one side of the conveyor 160 installed at one lower side of the carrying box 100 to reciprocate along a rotatably installed guide roll 180, slides on the guide roll to make the conveyor haunt to the right side or left side of the carrying box through the lower space formed between the carrying box and the vehicle chassis, when the piston is expanded and contracted.

[91] Accordingly, when the engine-hydraulic type power generating device and the hydraulic motor installed at one side of the conveyor 160 are operated with opening the discharge door, the TMR feed in the carrying box can be transported to the discharge door and discharged to the outside. Thus, the TMR feed can be transported to the proper site for the domestic animals to take it by the conveyor (see FIGs. 14 and 15).

[92]

[93] In addition, in the present embodiment, it is possible to confirm the charged amount and the discharge amount of the raw materials of the TMR feed easily in real-time by outputting (printing) the weight detection signal of load cells 800, which are installed at four corners between the lower surface of the carrying box and the chassis of the vehicle, through an indicator 900 installed at the driver's seat in the vehicle on the paper or by being displayed through a LED window of the indicator.

[94]

[95] Also, the type II augers 200 installed at the right and left lower sides of the carrying box are constructed that one end side of the auger is connected to an output gear 12 of the speed reduction device shown in FIGs. 5 and 6, so that the torque of high rotation number generated from the engine-hydraulic type power generating device is converted into big torque of low rotation number by means of the speed reduction device to be transferred to the auger.

[96]

[97] In the present embodiment, the speed reduction device comprises, for instance, an input side for reducing the output (rotation shaft of the hydraulic motor) of the engine- hydraulic type power generating device into big torque having a rotation number of 20rpm ~ 25rpm, and a driving side for rotating both augers 200 installed at the lower portion of the carrying box at low speed with the power transferred from the input side.

[98] As shown in FIGs. 5 and 7 through 11, the input side comprises a semi- spherical flange 20, an inward toothed gear 18 fixed between the flat plate type cases, a sun gear 36 disposed at the center of the inward toothed gear, three planetary gears disposed between the inward toothed gear and the sun gear, and a round plate type hub plate 17 to which the planetary gear is rotatably secured and installed by means of a hub pin 30.

[99] Accordingly, when the hydraulic motor of the engine-hydraulic type power generating device is operated, the sun gear 36 on the rolling shaft connected to the rotation shaft of the hydraulic motor is rotated, and three planetary gears are rotated toward one side direction along the teeth of the inward toothed gear 18 in coupled movement with the rotation of the sun gear, so that the hub plate rotates at low speed with the planetary gears secured at one surface of it by means of the hub pin 30 at 120°Intervals. According to the circumstances, there is a possibility that a double-stage speed reduction device shaped as shown in FIG. 3 of Korean utility model registration No. 20-0393467 (entitled "real shaft type speed reduction device for the planetary gear") can be provided. In this regard, it is easy for the people skilled in the art of this invention to design and manufacture the speed reduction device by using such gear, and there are several methods for the people skilled in the art of this invention to accomplish the speed reduction of the identical level through gear combinations different from each other, so that the constitution of the speed reduction device is not

limited to the embodiment described in the present specification.

[100] The driving side comprises a driving gear 9 with one end of the rotation shaft being spline-engaged with a spline groove (see to FIG. 7) formed at the center of the other side of the hub plate having the planetary gear installed at one surface thereof, an output gear 12 constructed to rotate by directly tooth-engaged or by indirectly tooth- engaged via second gear with the driving gear, an assembly for connecting the auger spline-engaged with the rotation center (center of the axis) of the output gear, and a box for protecting the mechanical constituting elements.

[101] The box comprises a box shaped case 2 secured to the front side lower portion of the carrying box by means of a bolt 1, a flat plate type case 15 secured to a front opening portion of the box shaped case by means of a bolt 14, and wherein an oil gauge 37 is installed at one side of the flat plate type case 15, and at the one side of the box shaped case 2, there are provided an oil injection/drain socket for injecting the lubrication oil sprayed between the driving gear and the output gear or discharging the long-used waste lubrication oil to the outside, and a closure for opening and closing it.

[102]

[103] In addition, there are provided an O-ring 29, a snap rings 25, 31, and a bearing 32 between the inside surface of the planetary gear and the hub pin, and bearings 8, 10, 11, 34, and 35 are provided at connection portions where rotation movement between the constituting elements are occurred. Also, a washer 28 is secured by means of a bolt 27 to a projected end of the assembly for connecting the auger, which penetrates through the center of the rotation of the output gear and dismal end thereof is inserted at a slightly projected state, and is covered with the cover 26.

[104] Furthermore, a rubber packing (retainer) 4 is inserted at the connection portion between the box shaped case 15 and the assembly for connecting the auger, and outside thereof is covered with the cover 5. Also, alike this, rubber packings (retainer) 4, 23 are inserted between the center hub of the input side flange and a rolling shaft, a portion (at which the sun gear is installed) of which is inserted via the center hub to the inside, and is covered with covers 5, 22 at the outside.

[105] Herein, the unexplained numerals 6, 7, 13, 19, 21, 24, and 33 represent bolts for engaging the adjacent constituting elements to each other, and numeral 16 represents a snap ring.

[106]

[107] The attached FIG. 12 is a systematic view showing the power transmission system of the engine-hydraulic type power generating device applied to the customized TMR feed vehicle of the present embodiment, in which the power transmission system comprises a mixing engine 300, output of which can be controlled by a governor 320, a hydraulic pump 400 connected to an output end of the mixing engine, and a hydraulic

motor 500 for converting the hydraulic energy of the hydraulic pump into mechanical rotation power and applying it into the auger.

[108] The oil supplied to the hydraulic pump 400 from the oil storage tank 430 installed in the engine room is compressed in the hydraulic pump and is supplied to the hydraulic motor or the hydraulic cylinder device via a valve mechanism 450 installed at the discharge side of the hydraulic pump, thus performing the rotation driving of the conveyor and the auger, and opening and closing action of several doors through the oil distribution and supply actions of the valve mechanism. As a result, when several levers or operation buttons on the controller provided at the driver's seat are actuated, several doors and conveyor, including the auger can be operated.

[109]

[110] Embodiment Example 2

[111] The attached FIG. 13 shows the power transmission system of the engine -hydraulic type power generating device according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which four augers (type I) are disposed by two upper and lower stages in the carrying box.

[112] As shown in the drawing, the oil discharged from the hydraulic pump 400 is supplied to the two hydraulic motors through the valve mechanism 450. In this regard, whereas the oil is always supplied to the hydraulic motor used to operate the auger disposed at the lower side of the carrying box, the oil is only supplied to the hydraulic motor used for driving the auger disposed at the upper side of the carrying box, if it is requested by operating the button or lever on the controller disposed at the driver's seat.

[113]

[114] Modified Example

[115] According to the circumstances, the controller of the two embodiments can be installed in the engine room, and if the controller is a button type, it can be operated remotely from outside of the vehicle or at the driver's seat by means of a remote controller by constructing the valve mechanism with a solenoid block.

[116] Also, it is possible to install a disk type heavy weight such as a flywheel between the mixing engine and the hydraulic pump to equalize the unequal output of the mixing engine.

[117] In addition, if it is supposed that one vehicle takes charge of five or six stock farmhouses, most of the TMR feed vehicle will drive with the carrying box filled with the raw materials of the TMR feed, so that the control of the output in the mixing engine may be at any rate impractical in such case. Accordingly, it is possible to use an engine without the governor as the mixing engine, when the customized TMR feed vehicle of the present invention is manufactured with setting the engine output to the

Industrial Applicability

[118] As described above, according to the customized TMR feed vehicle of the present invention, it is possible to supply various customized TMR feed conforming to the diverse requirements of the respective stock farms at low cost, and to supply sufficient amount of the coarse feed stuff to the diary cattle/beef cattle, because the facility investment cost in contrast with the manufacturing capacity is reduced to be cheaper above 50% than that of the conventional manufacturing factory of the TMR feed.

[119] Also, it is possible to mix the raw materials for the TMR feed in the carrying box uniformly during the transportation of the TMR feed to the consuming place (stock farm) along the high way or the national road by providing the engine required for the driving on the road and the engine required for the mixing of the raw materials for the TMR feed separately.

[120] Furthermore, it is possible to enter into the farmhouse and supply the TMR feed of completely mixed state to the domestic animals as soon as the vehicle arrives at the consuming place (stock farm). Accordingly, the likeness of the domestic animals for the TMR feed is high because the quality and freshness of it are good, additional manpower is not required for the supply of the feed, and it is economic because the facility of the feed mixing device for increasing the mixing ratio of the coarse feed stuff can be omitted.

[121] In addition, it has a friendly relationship because no gunny sack or vinyl bag will be used during the distribution process of the TMR feed.

[122] Also, according to the customized TMR feed vehicle of the present invention, there will be no excessive stirring or mixing of the raw materials because the output of the engine -hydraulic type power generating device can be controlled automatically according to the kind and input of the raw materials. As a result, there exists an advantage that the deterioration of the TMR feed due to the increase of the inside temperature in the carrying box or the damage of the fiber element/nutrition value are not caused at all.

[123] Furthermore, it is possible to easily operate the constituting elements of the present invention in the vehicle during the driving on the road because the controller for operating the constituting elements such as the mixing engine, the auger, the conveyor, and the like is installed within the driver's seat of the vehicle.
