[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pet food production technology, specifically relating to a pet food production sterilization equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Pet food production refers to the process of creating nutritionally balanced food specifically for pets. This process includes raw material selection, formula design, processing and manufacturing, quality testing, and the final packaging and distribution of the product. Pet food comes in many varieties, which can be broadly categorized into dry food, wet food, semi-moist food, treats, and products for special dietary needs.
[0003] Problems with existing technology: Currently available sterilization equipment suffers from several drawbacks during operation. The food tends to accumulate during feeding, affecting the sterilization effect. Furthermore, existing equipment cannot turn the food over during operation, further compromising the sterilization process. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pet food production sterilization equipment. It can feed pet food in a measured amount to the top of the conveying mechanism through a feeding mechanism set on one side of the box. Then, the pet food is efficiently sterilized under the action of the sterilization mechanism. At the same time, the special design of the conveying mechanism can turn the food over, thereby improving the sterilization effect.
[0005] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A sterilization device for pet food production, comprising a housing; A conveying mechanism is fixedly installed inside the box, a sterilization mechanism is provided on one side of the box, and a feeding mechanism is provided on the other side of the box; The feeding mechanism includes a feeding box, and a feeding component is fixedly installed at the bottom of the feeding box. The other end of the feeding component passes through the box and abuts against the conveying mechanism.
[0006] The feeding assembly includes a housing fixedly installed at the bottom of the feeding box, and a motor fixedly installed on one side of the housing. The motor is used to drive the impeller to rotate inside the housing.
[0007] A guide shell is fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer shell. Two sets of actuating shafts are rotatably installed inside the guide shell. One end of the actuating shaft passes through the guide shell and is connected to the drive pulley belt set for transmission.
[0008] The motor drives the transmission belt assembly to rotate via an impeller, and the transmission belt assembly drives the actuating shaft to rotate inside the guide shell.
[0009] The conveying mechanism includes a mounting plate fixedly installed inside the housing. A conveyor belt is rotatably mounted inside the mounting plate. A connecting rod is abutted against by a spring on one side of the mounting plate. Vibrators and guide plates are fixedly installed at both ends of the connecting rod.
[0010] The mounting plate has a through groove inside, allowing the connecting rod to slide and be installed on the mounting plate through the through groove. The vibrator drives the guide plate to move through the connecting rod.
[0011] The sterilization mechanism includes a steam generator, which is connected to an exhaust pipe via a supply pipe, and the exhaust pipe is fixedly installed inside the conveying mechanism.
[0012] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows: This invention features a casing connected to the bottom of the feeding box, with a motor mounted on one side of the casing driving an impeller to rotate inside.

[0016] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.
[0017] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a pet food production sterilization equipment includes a housing 1; A conveying mechanism 2 is fixedly installed inside the box 1, a sterilization mechanism 3 is provided on one side of the box 1, and a feeding mechanism 4 is provided on the other side of the box 1. The feeding mechanism 4 includes a feeding box 41, and a feeding component 42 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the feeding box 41. The other end of the feeding component 42 passes through the box body 1 and abuts against the conveying mechanism 2.
[0018] See attached document Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the feeding assembly 42 includes a housing 421 fixedly installed at the bottom of the feeding box 41. A motor 422 is fixedly installed on one side of the housing 421. The motor 422 is used to drive the impeller 424 to rotate inside the housing 421.
[0019] In the above embodiment, the outer casing 421 is connected to the feeding box 41, and the impeller 424 is rotatably installed inside the outer casing 421. The impeller 424 consists of six blades. Therefore, when the motor 422 is started to drive the impeller 424 to rotate, the six sets of blades can be rotated. Since the volume between the two sets of blades is fixed, the feeding amount and feeding rate can be controlled by controlling the speed of the motor 422.
[0020] Specifically, a guide shell 423 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer shell 421, and two sets of actuating shafts 426 are rotatably installed inside the guide shell 423. Therefore, after the pet food is fed into the interior of the guide shell 423 by the impeller 424, the pet food can be dispersed by the two sets of actuating shafts 426, thereby preventing the pet food from piling up.
[0021] More specifically, since the drive belt assembly 425 is connected to the same end of the impeller 424 and the agitator shaft 426, the agitator shaft 426 can be driven to rotate synchronously through the drive belt assembly 425 while the motor 422 drives the impeller 424 to rotate. The rotation speed of the agitator shaft 426 is faster than that of the impeller 424, so the pet food can be efficiently dispersed, thereby allowing the pet food to be evenly delivered to the top of the conveyor mechanism 2.
[0022] As can be further explained, the top of the feeding box 41 is also provided with a feeding port. By connecting the feeding mechanism 4 to the pet food production line, the pet food can be continuously and quantitatively sterilized. At the same time, an electric heating structure can be installed on the inner wall of the feeding box 41 for preheating the pet food, thereby improving the effect of the subsequent sterilization mechanism 3 on the high-temperature sterilization of the pet food.
[0023] See attached document Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a mounting plate 21 fixedly installed inside the housing 1. A conveyor belt 22 is rotatably installed inside the mounting plate 21. A connecting rod 24 is abutted against by a spring 23 on one side of the mounting plate 21. A vibrator 25 and a guide plate 26 are fixedly installed at both ends of the connecting rod 24.
[0024] In the above embodiment, the mounting plate 21 has a through groove inside, and the mounting plate 21 and the connecting rod 24 are installed inside the mounting plate 21 through the through groove. Since the connecting rod 24 is fixedly installed at both ends of the guide plate 26, and the other end of the connecting rod 24 is fixedly installed with the vibrator 25, the guide plate 26 can be made to vibrate vertically under the action of the spring 23 when the vibrator 25 is started.
[0025] Furthermore, since the surface of the guide plate 26 is corrugated, the pet food can be delivered to the surface of the guide plate 26 under the action of the "Z" shaped conveyor belt 22. Through the vibration and structural characteristics of the guide plate 26, the pet food is turned over and laid flat on the surface of the conveyor belt 22, and then sterilized at high temperature by the sterilization mechanism 3.
[0026] According to the above structure, the sterilization mechanism 3 includes a steam generator 31, which can be connected to the exhaust pipe 33 through the air supply pipe 32. Therefore, when the steam generator 31 is started, it can generate high-temperature steam and send it into the interior of the exhaust pipe 33 through the air supply pipe 32. Since the exhaust pipe 33 is fixedly installed inside the conveying mechanism 2, the high-temperature steam can be sprayed out through multiple through holes evenly opened at the bottom of the air supply pipe 32, thereby sterilizing the pet food at high temperature.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After the device is installed in the pet food production line, the pet food enters the feeding box 41 and then the outer shell 421. The motor 422 drives the impeller 424 to rotate, causing the impeller 424 to quantitatively deliver the pet food into the guide shell 423. Since the other end of the impeller 424 is connected to the actuating shaft 426 via a transmission belt assembly 425, the actuating shaft 426 can rotate synchronously inside the guide shell 423, thereby dispersing the pet food entering the guide shell 423 and allowing it to pass through the inclined guide shell 423. The pet food is fed to the top of the conveyor belt 22 under the action of the surface. The pet food is transported by starting the conveyor belt 22. Steam is generated by starting the steam generator 31. The steam is sent to the inside of the air outlet pipe 33 through the air supply pipe 32 and sprayed out to sterilize the pet food at high temperature. Under the action of the conveyor belt 22, the pet food can be sent to the surface of the guide plate 26. The start of the vibrator 25 can cause the connecting rod 24 to drive the guide plate 26 to vibrate. Under the action of the wave surface of the guide plate 26, the pet food is turned over and laid flat on the surface of the conveyor belt 22, thereby improving the sterilization effect of the pet food.
[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
