Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of cat litter production equipment, and in particular to a cat litter deodorant adding and mixing device. Background Art

[0002] Cat litter is an indispensable pet product for cat-raising families. It is mainly used to treat cat excrement and keep the home environment clean. Currently, the commonly used cat litters include bentonite cat litter, tofu cat litter, crystal cat litter, pine cat litter, etc. The types and quantities of raw materials used in the production of each type of cat litter are different. However, in order to effectively control and reduce the odor produced by cat excrement, deodorants are added to many cat litters. When producing cat litter, the various raw materials and deodorants used need to be sent to the mixer according to the prepared ratio for mixing and stirring. Generally, a horizontal mixer is used for stirring.

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned related technologies, the inventors found that the various raw materials and deodorants for cat litter production are stored in bags. When preparing the proportions, the production personnel need to place a preparation bag on the weighing equipment, and then use a container to take out the raw materials from the raw material packaging bag and pour them into the preparation bag one by one, and at the same time observe the numbers displayed on the weighing equipment, slowly add the raw materials, and when the numbers reach the required weight, the preparation of one raw material is completed, and then repeat the process until all the raw materials and deodorants are added and prepared, and then pour the prepared mixed raw materials into the mixer for stirring. After one stirring is completed, the next raw material weighing and preparation needs to be carried out. The operation process is quite troublesome and the efficiency is also low. In addition, since the amount of raw materials poured in the weighing process is not easy to control, the preparation ratio of raw materials and deodorants is not accurate enough, which affects the deodorizing effect of cat litter. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to speed up the preparation process of the raw materials and deodorant required for cat litter mixing, improve the efficiency of cat litter production, and at the same time ensure the accuracy of the preparation ratio, thereby ensuring the deodorizing effect of the cat litter, the present application provides a cat litter deodorant adding and mixing device.

[0005] The cat litter deodorant adding and mixing device provided in the present application adopts the following technical solution: A cat litter deodorant adding and mixing device comprises a supporting frame and a plurality of storage tanks, wherein the storage tanks are placed on one side of a mixer, the plurality of storage tanks are respectively used to hold different raw materials and deodorants, a quantitative feeding box is correspondingly arranged above each of the storage tanks, a lifting cylinder is arranged on the supporting frame, the lifting cylinder is used to drive the plurality of quantitative feeding boxes to rise and fall, an opening is arranged on one side of the quantitative feeding box, a quantitative space is arranged in the quantitative feeding box, the volume of the quantitative space is adjustable, a flip assembly is arranged on the quantitative feeding box, the flip assembly is used to drive the quantitative feeding box to rotate.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the raw materials and deodorant for producing cat litter are poured into different storage tanks respectively, and the opening of the quantitative material taking box is made to face upward, and then a portion of the raw materials and deodorant are weighed according to the configuration ratio as quantitative samples, and then the weighed raw materials and deodorant samples are poured into the quantitative spaces in the corresponding quantitative material taking boxes respectively, and then the quantitative spaces of each quantitative material taking box are adjusted in turn so that the raw material samples just fill the quantitative spaces, and at this time, the determination of the quantitative spaces is completed; Each time the material is taken, the lifting cylinder drives the multiple quantitative material taking boxes to descend, and at the same time, the flip assembly on each quantitative material taking box drives the quantitative material taking box to rotate, so that each quantitative material taking box gradually flips to the opening downward during the descent process to facilitate entering the raw material, and then continues to rotate, and scoops the raw material and deodorant respectively during the rotation process. When the quantitative material taking box flips to the opening upward, the quantitative space of each quantitative material taking box is now full of the corresponding raw material, and since the volume of the quantitative space is adjusted according to the required amount of raw material, the raw material or deodorant filled in the quantitative space is the required amount, so that the raw material and deodorant can be automatically and accurately taken according to the proportion, and then the lifting cylinder drives the quantitative material taking box to rise above the opening of the mixer, and the flip assembly drives the quantitative material taking box to rotate to the opening downward, thereby pouring the raw material and deodorant into the mixer, completing the automatic preparation and material taking and pouring process of the raw material and deodorant for cat litter production; By setting up a quantitative material taking box, it is only necessary to manually weigh once to determine the sample size of each raw material and deodorant, and then adjust the volume of the quantitative space according to the sample size. The quantitative material taking process can be automatically completed thereafter without manual weighing and preparation, thereby greatly speeding up the preparation process of the raw materials and deodorants required for cat litter mixing, improving the efficiency of cat litter production, and at the same time ensuring the accuracy of the preparation ratio, thereby ensuring the deodorizing effect of the cat litter.

[0007] Optionally, a partition plate is slidably connected in the quantitative material extraction box, and the partition plate divides the quantitative material extraction box into an adjustment space and a quantitative space. A first screw is rotatably connected in the adjustment space, and a first slider is threaded on the first screw. The first screw is used to drive the first slider to slide. A push rod is hinged between the first slider and the partition plate. The partition plate slides along the length direction of the quantitative material extraction box, and the axial direction of the first screw is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the partition plate. A rotating handle is provided on the outside of the quantitative material extraction box, and the rotating handle is fixedly connected to the first screw.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when adjusting the quantitative space, first pour the weighed raw material sample into the quantitative space of the corresponding quantitative material taking box, then rotate the handle to drive the first lead screw to rotate, the first lead screw drives the first slider to slide, and the partition plate is driven to slide in the quantitative material taking box through the push rod. When sliding until the raw material sample just fills the quantitative space, the quantitative space is determined. Therefore, each time the material is taken in the future, the amount of raw material taken in the quantitative space is the amount required for preparation, thereby completing the automatic quantitative taking of raw materials and deodorants, and greatly improving the preparation efficiency of raw materials and deodorants.

[0009] Optionally, a fixed box body is provided at the opening of the quantitative material taking box, and a winding roller is rotatably connected in the fixed box body. A sealing cloth is wound on the winding roller, and the sealing cloth stretches or contracts along the sliding direction of the partition plate. The sealing cloth is used to close the opening of the quantitative material taking box.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, after the quantitative space is adjusted, the sealing cloth can be unfolded to cover the adjustment space to prevent the raw materials from entering the adjustment space during subsequent material collection; in addition, when the quantitative space of the quantitative material collection box is filled with the corresponding raw materials, the sealing cloth can continue to be extended to close the quantitative space. After closing, the flip assembly drives the quantitative material collection box to rotate until the sealing cloth is in an inclined state, so that the excess raw materials or deodorant on the sealing cloth slides into the corresponding storage tank, thereby completing the precise quantitative collection of raw materials and deodorants.

[0011] Optionally, two second lead screws are rotatably connected to the fixed box body, and the two second lead screws are respectively located on both sides of the length direction of the opening of the quantitative material feeding box, and the two second lead screws are threadedly connected to a second slider, and the second lead screw is used to drive the second slider thereon to slide along the length direction of the quantitative material feeding box, and the two corners of the free end of the sealing cloth are respectively fixedly connected to the two second sliders, and a second pulley is coaxially arranged on the two lead screws, and a driving pulley is also rotatably connected to the fixed box body, and the driving pulley and the two second pulleys are connected by a belt, and a second motor is also provided in the fixed box body, and the second motor is used to drive the driving pulley to rotate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when closing the quantitative material taking box, the second motor drives the driving pulley to rotate, and the driving pulley drives the two second pulleys to rotate through the belt, and the two second pulleys respectively drive the two second lead screws to rotate, driving the two second sliders to slide in the direction away from the winding roller, thereby unfolding the sealing cloth and completing the closure of the quantitative material taking box opening; during the closing process, as the sealing cloth slides, the raw materials above the opening of the quantitative material taking box can be pushed away, thereby completing the precise material taking process.

[0013] Optionally, the flipping assembly includes a rotating bracket, the quantitative material taking box is rotatably connected to the rotating bracket, a first motor is rotatably connected inside the rotating bracket, the first motor is used to drive the quantitative material taking box to rotate, a plurality of rotating brackets on the quantitative material taking boxes are fixedly connected by a connecting shaft, a fixing frame is provided on the connecting shaft, and the bottom of the telescopic shaft of the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the fixing frame.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting cylinder can drive multiple quantitative material taking boxes to rise and fall. After the multiple quantitative material taking boxes have taken all the materials, the lifting cylinder drives the multiple quantitative material taking boxes to rise above the opening of the mixer through the fixed frame. Then the first motor on each quantitative material taking box drives the corresponding quantitative material taking box opening to rotate toward the mixer. At the same time, the sealing cloth is rolled up to open the opening of the quantitative material taking box. At this time, the raw materials and deodorant contained in the quantitative space are poured into the mixer, completing the automatic unloading process of the cat litter production raw materials and deodorant.

[0015] Optionally, the connecting shaft is rotatably connected to a fixed frame, the rotating brackets at both ends are fixedly connected with rotating shafts, gears are coaxially fixedly connected to the two rotating shafts, and two racks are fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, and the two racks are respectively meshed with two gears.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lifting cylinder drives the rotating bracket to lift to the point where the gear and rack are meshed, the gear rotates, and the rotating shaft drives the bottom of multiple groups of rotating brackets to rotate toward the opening of the mixer, thereby moving the quantitative material box to the top of the mixer opening, facilitating accurate material unloading.

[0017] Optionally, the rotating bracket is configured to be an inverted U shape, and the top and bottom ends inside the rotating bracket are rotatably connected to the first pulley, and the two first pulleys are connected by belts, and both ends of the quantitative material taking box are fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, and the quantitative material taking box is rotatably connected to the rotating bracket via the rotating shaft, one of the rotating shafts is coaxially and fixedly connected to the first pulley located at the bottom, and the first motor is used to drive the first pulley located at the top to rotate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical scheme, the rotating bracket is set to an inverted U shape, which can reduce the resistance of the rotating bracket entering the raw material, thereby reducing the resistance of the quantitative material box entering the raw material to take materials, and facilitating the quantitative material box to take materials; when taking materials, the first motor drives the first pulley connected to it to rotate, and this first pulley drives another first pulley to rotate through the belt, and the other first pulley drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotating shaft drives the quantitative material box to rotate, so that the quantitative material box gradually flips over during the descent process to open downward, so as to facilitate entering the raw material, as the quantitative material box continues to rotate, the raw material is scooped during the rotation process, and when the quantitative material box flips over to open upward, the quantitative space of each quantitative material box is filled with the corresponding raw material, and the first motor stops driving, thereby completing the automatic material taking process.

[0019] Optionally, two sprockets are rotatably connected to the fixed box, and the two sprockets are connected by a chain. The length direction of the chain is parallel to the axis of the second screw. One of the sprockets is coaxially and fixedly connected to the winding roller. A clamping piece is provided on the second slider close to the chain. The clamping piece is used to clamp the chain. When the second slider slides in a direction away from the winding roller, the clamping piece disengages from the chain. When the second slider slides in a direction close to the winding roller, the clamping piece clamps the chain.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the sealing cloth needs to be rolled up, the second slider slides in the direction close to the winding roller, at which time the clamping piece clamps the chain, thereby driving the chain to rotate, the chain drives the sprocket to rotate, and the sprocket drives the winding roller to rotate, thereby completing the automatic rolling of the sealing cloth; and when the second slider slides in the direction away from the winding roller, that is, when the sealing cloth is to be unfolded, the clamping piece disengages from the chain to facilitate the unfolding of the sealing cloth.

[0021] Optionally, the clamping member includes a fixed block and a clamping block, the fixed block is fixedly connected to the second slider, the clamping block is rotatably connected to the fixed block, the fixed block and the clamping block are connected by a spring, and the clamping block is inclined away from one end of the fixed block toward the direction close to the winding roller and is located between two adjacent chain pins on the chain.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, since the clamping block is inclined away from one end of the fixed block in the direction close to the winding roller and is located between two adjacent chain pins on the chain, when the sealing cloth is rolled up, the second sliding block moves in the direction close to the winding roller. During the sliding process, the clamping block will hook the chain pin. At this time, due to the elastic force of the spring, the clamping block is fixed between the two adjacent chain pins, thereby driving the chain to rotate, and the chain drives the sprocket to rotate, thereby driving the winding roller to rotate, and completing the winding of the sealing cloth; and when the sealing cloth is unfolded, the second sliding block moves in the direction away from the winding roller. During the sliding process, the clamping block rotates in the direction close to the fixed block due to the obstruction of the chain pin, but due to the elastic force of the spring, the clamping block will keep bouncing up and down and always move on the surface of the chain pin, so that it will not be stuck in the chain. Therefore, the clamping block will be stuck in the chain only when the sealing cloth is rolled up, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the sealing cloth retracting and releasing process, and automatically performing the sealing cloth rolling operation, which is convenient for the operator to use.

[0023] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. By setting up the quantitative material taking box, you only need to manually weigh once to determine the sample size of each raw material and deodorant, and then adjust the volume of the quantitative space according to the sample size. After that, the quantitative material taking process can be automatically completed without manual weighing and preparation, which greatly speeds up the preparation process of the raw materials and deodorants required for cat litter mixing, improves the efficiency of cat litter production, and ensures the accuracy of the preparation ratio, thereby ensuring the deodorizing effect of the cat litter; 2. After the quantitative space is adjusted, the sealing cloth can be unfolded to cover the adjustment space to prevent the raw materials from entering the adjustment space during subsequent material collection. In addition, when the quantitative space of the quantitative material collection box is filled with the corresponding raw materials, the sealing cloth can be further extended to close the quantitative space. After closing, the flip assembly drives the quantitative material collection box to rotate until the sealing cloth is tilted, so that the excess raw materials or deodorant on the sealing cloth slides into the corresponding storage tank, thereby completing the precise quantitative collection of raw materials and deodorants; 3. Since the clamping block is inclined away from one end of the fixed block toward the direction close to the winding roller and is located between two adjacent chain pins on the chain, when the sealing cloth is rolled up, the second slider moves toward the direction close to the winding roller. During the sliding process, the clamping block will hook the chain pin. At this time, due to the elastic force of the spring, the clamping block is fixed between the two adjacent chain pins, thereby driving the chain to rotate, and the chain drives the sprocket to rotate, thereby driving the winding roller to rotate, completing the winding of the sealing cloth. The clamping block will be clamped in the chain only when the sealing cloth is rolled up, ensuring the stable operation of the sealing cloth winding and releasing process, and automatically performing the sealing cloth winding operation, which is convenient for the operator.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0027] The embodiment of the present application discloses a cat litter deodorant adding and mixing device.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 A cat litter deodorant adding and mixing device includes a plurality of storage tanks 1, which are respectively used to store various raw materials and deodorants for producing cat litter. The plurality of storage tanks 1 are located on the front side of a mixer 8 and are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the mixer 8. The top surface of the mixer 8 is provided with an opening for feeding. A corresponding group of quantitative material taking boxes 2 is arranged above each group of storage tanks 1, which is used to quantitatively take raw materials and deodorants according to the required proportion. A support frame 6 is also provided on the ground, and a driving assembly 7 is provided on the support frame 6, which is used to drive the plurality of quantitative material taking boxes 2 to rise and fall to complete the material taking and pouring process. The number of storage tanks 1 can be set according to the number of raw materials for producing cat litter. In this embodiment, three groups of storage tanks 1 are set.

[0029] Before taking the materials, first weigh the raw material samples for quantitative measurement according to the weight of various raw materials and deodorants required for one mixing, and then pour the various weighed raw materials and deodorant samples into each quantitative material taking box 2 respectively. At this time, the size of the space for holding the materials in the quantitative material taking box 2 is changed according to the volume of the raw materials in the quantitative material taking box 2, that is, the material holding space of the quantitative material taking box 2 is determined. In the future, each time the materials are taken, the quantitative material taking box 2 can automatically take out the required weight of raw materials and deodorants from the storage tank 1, and no manual weighing is required. After taking the materials, the driving component 7 drives the quantitative material taking box 2 to rise above the mixer 8 and turn it over, so that the quantitative raw materials and deodorants are poured into the mixer 8, thereby completing the working process of automatically preparing the ratio of raw materials and deodorants and pouring them into the mixer 8.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The length direction of the quantitative material taking box 2 is parallel to the length direction of the mixer 8, and a horizontal side opening is provided for taking materials. The quantitative material taking box 2 is provided with a flip assembly 3, which is used to drive the quantitative material taking box 2 to flip, thereby completing the material taking process in the storage tank 1. In order to facilitate the flipping of the quantitative material taking box 2, the side of the quantitative material taking box 2 opposite to the opening is set as an arc surface. The flip assembly 3 includes a rotating bracket 31, and the rotating bracket 31 is set as an inverted U shape. The quantitative material taking box 2 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating bracket 31. The interior of the rotating bracket 31 is hollow, and both ends of the quantitative material box 2 are fixedly connected with a rotating shaft 32. The quantitative material box 2 is rotatably connected to the rotating bracket 31 through the rotating shaft 32. The top and bottom ends of the rotating bracket 31 are rotatably connected with a first pulley 33. The rotating shaft 32 close to the first pulley 33 extends into the rotating bracket 31 and is coaxially fixedly connected to the first pulley 33 at the bottom. The two first pulleys 33 are connected by a belt. The interior of the rotating bracket 31 is also fixedly connected with a first motor 34, and the first motor 34 is used to drive the first pulley 33 at the top to rotate.

[0031] When the quantitative material taking box 2 descends to the material storage tank 1 to take materials, the opening of the quantitative material taking box 2 faces downwards to facilitate entry into the raw materials. As the quantitative material taking box 2 gradually descends, the first motor 34 drives the first belt pulley 33 connected thereto to rotate, and the first belt pulley 33 drives another first belt pulley 33 to rotate through the belt, and the other first belt pulley 33 drives the rotating shaft 32 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 32 drives the quantitative material taking box 2 to rotate, so that the quantitative material taking box 2 gradually turns over to the opening downwards during the descent process, so as to facilitate entry into the raw materials, and then continues to rotate, scooping the raw materials during the rotation process, and when the quantitative material taking box 2 turns over to the opening facing upwards, the driving component 7 drives the quantitative material taking box 2 to rise, and gradually separates from the raw materials, thereby completing the material taking.

[0032] Reference Figure 3, the quantitative material taking box 2 is provided with an adjustment space 21 and a quantitative space 22, the two spaces are separated by a partition plate 23, and the partition plate 23 can slide along the length direction of the quantitative material taking box 2 to adjust the size of the quantitative space 22. When adjusting, first make the opening of the quantitative material taking box 2 face upward, pour the weighed raw materials into the quantitative space 22, and then push the partition plate 23 to make the raw materials fill the quantitative space 22. At this time, the volume of the quantitative space 22 can be determined, so as to facilitate the subsequent direct scooping of quantitative raw materials. A first screw 24 is rotatably connected in the adjustment space 21, and the axial direction of the first screw 24 is perpendicular to the length direction of the quantitative material taking box 2. The first screw 24 is symmetrically provided with two sections of threads in opposite directions. Two first sliders 25 are threadedly connected to the first screw 24, and the two first sliders 25 are respectively slidably connected to the two sections of threads in opposite directions. The first slider 25 fits the inner wall of one end of the quantitative material taking box 2, thereby guiding the first slider 25, so that the two first sliders 25 can slide in opposite directions along the axial direction of the first screw 24. The two first sliders 25 are both hinged with push rods 26, and the other ends of the push rods 26 are both hinged with the partition plate 23. When the first screw 24 is rotated, the two first sliders 25 slide in the direction of approaching or moving away from each other, thereby driving the partition plate 23 to slide along its length direction in the quantitative material taking box 2 through the push rod 26, and completing the adjustment of the volume of the quantitative space 22. In order to facilitate the rotation of the first screw 24, one end of the first screw 24 extends out of the quantitative material taking box 2 and is fixedly connected with a rotating handle 27, so as to facilitate the rotation of the first screw 24.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 A sealing component 4 is also provided at the opening of the quantitative material taking box 2. When the quantitative material taking box 2 is rotated to a state where the opening is facing upward after taking all the materials, the opening of the quantitative material taking box 2 can be closed by the sealing component 4. On the one hand, the opening of the quantitative material taking box 2 is closed to facilitate the transfer of the raw materials to the mixer 8. On the other hand, the raw materials on the quantitative material taking box 2 that exceed the quantitative space 22 are removed to achieve the purpose of quantitative material taking.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The sealing assembly 4 includes a fixed box body 41, which is set in a U shape. The fixed box body 41 includes a first fixed box 411 and two second fixed boxes 412. The first fixed box 411 is fixedly connected to one end of the quantitative material taking box 2 close to the adjustment space 21. The length direction of the first fixed box 411 is perpendicular to the length direction of the quantitative material taking box 2. The two second fixed boxes 412 are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the length direction of the quantitative material taking box 2 and are respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the first fixed box 411. The first fixed box 411 and the two second fixed boxes 412 are internally connected, and the second fixed box 412 is vertically arranged with the first fixed box 411. A winding roller 42 is rotatably connected in the first fixed box 411. The axial direction of the winding roller 42 is parallel to the length direction of the first fixed box 411. A sealing cloth 43 is wound on the winding roller 42. The first fixed box 411 is provided with a first sliding groove 413 on the side facing the quantitative space 22 for the sealing cloth 43 to extend out.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the two second fixed boxes 412 are both rotatably connected with the second lead screws 44, the axial direction of the second lead screws 44 is parallel to the length direction of the second fixed boxes 412, the two second lead screws 44 are both threadedly connected with the second sliders 45, the bottom surface of the second sliders 45 is in contact with the inner wall of the second fixed box 412, and the second sliders 45 are slidably connected in the second fixed box 412. The two second fixed boxes 412 have second sliding grooves 414 opened along their length direction on the opposite side, and the sealing cloth 43 extends from the first sliding groove 413 and enters between the two second sliding grooves 414. The two corners of the free end of the sealing cloth 43 are fixedly connected with the two second sliders 45 respectively. When the two second sliders 45 slide in the direction away from the first fixed box 411, the sealing cloth 43 is driven to slide, so that the sealing cloth 43 is stretched out to close the opening of the quantitative material taking box 2. The two second lead screws 44 are both inserted into the first fixed box 411 at one end close to the first fixed box 411 and are coaxially fixedly connected with a second pulley 46. A driving pulley 47 is also rotatably connected in the first fixed box 411. The three pulleys are connected by belts. A second motor 48 is installed in the first fixed box 411, and the second motor 48 is used to drive the driving pulley 47 to rotate.

[0036] The second motor 48 drives the driving pulley 47 to rotate, and the driving pulley 47 drives the two second pulleys 46 to rotate through the belt, and the two second pulleys 46 respectively drive the two second lead screws 44 to rotate, thereby driving the two second sliders 45 to slide in the direction away from the first fixed box 411, so as to unfold the sealing cloth 43. After the position of the quantitative space 22 is adjusted, the sealing cloth 43 can be slid to the partition plate 23 to close the adjustment space 21, so as to prevent the raw materials from entering the adjustment space 21 during quantitative material collection. After the quantitative material collection box 2 takes the material, the opening of the quantitative material collection box 2 is set upward, and the driving component 7 drives it to rise. During the rising process, the second motor 48 drives the two second lead screws 44 to rotate, and the two second sliders 45 continue to slide from the partition plate 23 in the direction away from the first fixed box 411, thereby gradually closing the quantitative space 22. After closing, the first motor 34 drives the quantitative material collection box 2 to rotate until the sealing cloth 43 is in an inclined state, so that the excess raw materials on the sealing cloth 43 slide into the storage tank 1, and the precise quantitative collection of raw materials is completed. Then the first motor 34 drives the quantitative material taking box 2 to rotate to a horizontal state, and continues to lift it upward to the unloading position.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 To facilitate the winding of the sealing cloth 43, two sprocket wheels 51 are rotatably connected in the second fixed box 412, one of which is coaxially fixedly connected to one end of the winding roller 42, and the two sprocket wheels 51 are connected by a chain 52, and the length direction of the chain 52 is parallel to the axial direction of the second lead screw 44. A clamping piece 53 is provided on the second slider 45 near the chain 52, and the clamping piece 53 is used to connect with the chain 52. When the second slider 45 slides in the direction away from the winding roller 42, that is, when the sealing cloth 43 is unfolded, the clamping piece 53 is separated from the chain 52; when the second slider 45 slides in the direction close to the winding roller 42, the clamping piece 53 clamps the chain 52, thereby driving the chain 52 to rotate, the chain 52 drives the sprocket wheel 51 to rotate, and the sprocket wheel 51 drives the winding roller 42 to rotate, thereby completing the automatic winding of the sealing cloth 43.

[0038] Reference Figure 5The clamping member 53 includes a fixed block 531, a clamping block 532 and a spring 533. The fixed block 531 is fixedly connected to the second slider 45. The clamping block 532 is rotatably connected to the fixed block 531 and the spring 533 is fixedly connected between the fixed block 531 and the clamping block 532. The spring 533 is used to support the clamping block 532. One end of the clamping block 532 away from the fixed block 531 is located between two adjacent chain pins 521 on the chain 52, and the one end of the clamping block 532 away from the fixed block 531 is inclined toward the direction close to the winding roller 42. When the sealing cloth 43 is unfolded, the second slider 45 moves in the direction away from the winding roller 42. During the sliding process, the clamping block 532 rotates in the direction close to the fixed block 531 due to the obstruction of the chain pin 521, but due to the elastic force of the spring 533, the clamping block 532 will keep bouncing up and down and always move on the surface of the chain pin 521; when the sealing cloth 43 is rolled up, the second slider 45 moves in the direction close to the winding roller 42. During the sliding process, the clamping block 532 hooks the chain pin 521. Due to the elastic force of the spring 533, the clamping block 532 is fixed between two adjacent chain pins 521, thereby driving the chain 52 to rotate, and the chain 52 drives the sprocket 51 to rotate, thereby driving the winding roller 42 to rotate, and completing the winding of the sealing cloth 43.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 The driving assembly 7 includes a lifting cylinder 71, which is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 6 and the telescopic shaft is vertically telescopic downward. The bottom of the telescopic shaft is fixedly connected to a fixed frame 72. The two adjacent groups of rotating brackets 31 are fixedly connected by a connecting shaft 73, and the connecting shaft 73 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 72. The rotating brackets 31 at both ends are fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 74 near the end of the support frame 6. The axial direction of the rotating shaft 74 is parallel to the length direction of the quantitative material taking box 2. Two guide blocks 75 are vertically slidably connected to the support frame 6, and the two rotating shafts 74 are rotatably connected to the two guide blocks 75 respectively. Gears 76 are coaxially fixedly connected to the two rotating shafts 74, and two racks 77 are fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 6. The two racks 77 are used to mesh with the two gears 76 respectively. After the material is taken, the opening of the quantitative material taking box 2 is set upward. At this time, the lifting cylinder 71 drives the multiple groups of quantitative material taking boxes 2 to rise through the fixed frame 72. When the gear 76 is moved to mesh with the rack 77, the gear 76 rotates, and drives the bottom of the multiple groups of rotating brackets 31 to rotate toward the opening of the mixer 8 through the rotating shaft 74, so that the quantitative material taking box 2 moves to the top of the opening of the mixer 8. At this time, the first motor 34 drives the opening of the quantitative material taking box 2 to rotate downward, and the second motor 48 drives the sealing cloth 43 to roll up, so that the opening of the quantitative material taking box 2 is opened and opened toward the mixer 8 to complete the material pouring process.

[0040] The implementation principle of the cat litter deodorant adding and mixing device of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: first, the raw materials and deodorant for producing cat litter are poured into different storage tanks 1 respectively, and then the quantitative space 22 of the quantitative material taking box 2 is adjusted to facilitate the automatic quantitative taking of each raw material and deodorant in the future. During the adjustment, the opening of the quantitative material taking box 2 faces upward and is located above the storage tank 1. A portion of raw materials and deodorant are weighed according to the configuration ratio as quantitative samples, and then the weighed raw materials and deodorant samples are poured into the quantitative spaces 22 in the corresponding quantitative material taking boxes 2 respectively, and then the quantitative spaces 22 of each quantitative material taking box 2 are adjusted in turn. When adjusting the quantitative space 22 of each quantitative material taking box 2, the following process is followed: first, the handle 27 is rotated to drive the first screw 24 to rotate, and the first screw 24 drives the two first sliders 25 to slide in the direction of approaching or moving away from each other, and the partition plate 23 is driven to slide in the quantitative material taking box 2 by the push rod 26, so as to determine the volume of the quantitative space 22 according to the amount of the raw material sample, so that the raw material sample just fills the quantitative space 22, thereby completing the determination of the quantitative space 22, so as to facilitate the subsequent automatic quantitative material taking.

[0041] Then start the second motor 48 on each quantitative material taking box 2, the second motor 48 drives the driving pulley 47 to rotate, the driving pulley 47 drives the two second pulleys 46 to rotate through the belt, the two second pulleys 46 respectively drive the two second lead screws 44 to rotate, thereby driving the two second sliders 45 to slide in the direction away from the first fixed box 411, thereby unfolding the sealing cloth 43, when the sealing cloth 43 slides to the partition plate 23 and stops, the adjustment space 21 can be closed at this time to prevent the raw materials from entering the adjustment space 21 during subsequent material taking.

[0042] Next, the lifting cylinder 71 is started, and the lifting cylinder 71 drives the multiple quantitative material taking boxes 2 to descend through the fixed frame 72. At the same time, the first motor 34 of each quantitative material taking box 2 drives the first pulley 33 connected thereto to rotate, and this first pulley 33 drives another first pulley 33 to rotate through the belt, and the other first pulley 33 drives the rotating shaft 32 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 32 drives the quantitative material taking box 2 to rotate, so that each quantitative material taking box 2 gradually turns over to the opening downward during the descent process, so as to facilitate the entry of the raw materials. Then continue to rotate, and scoop the raw materials and deodorant respectively during the rotation process. When the quantitative material taking box 2 turns over to the opening facing upward, the quantitative space 22 of each quantitative material taking box 2 is now filled with the corresponding raw materials.

[0043] At this time, the lifting cylinder 71 drives the quantitative material taking box 2 to rise and gradually separate from the raw materials. At the same time, the second motor 48 of each quantitative material taking box 2 drives the two second lead screws 44 to rotate, and the two second sliders 45 continue to slide from the partition plate 23 in the direction away from the first fixed box 411, thereby gradually closing the quantitative space 22. After closing, the first motor 34 of each quantitative material taking box 2 drives the quantitative material taking box 2 to rotate until the sealing cloth 43 is in an inclined state, so that the excess raw materials or deodorant on the sealing cloth 43 slides into the corresponding storage tank 1, completing the precise quantitative collection of raw materials and deodorant. Then the first motor 34 drives the quantitative material taking box 2 to rotate to a horizontal state, and the lifting cylinder 71 continues to lift upward.

[0044] When the lifting cylinder 71 drives the rotating bracket 31 to be lifted to the point where the gear 76 is meshed with the rack 77, the gear 76 rotates, and drives the bottom of the multiple groups of rotating brackets 31 to rotate toward the opening of the mixer 8 through the rotating shaft 74, so that the quantitative material taking box 2 moves to the top of the opening of the mixer 8. At this time, the first motor 34 of each quantitative material taking box 2 drives the opening of the quantitative material taking box 2 to rotate downward, and at the same time, the second motor 48 drives the sealing cloth 43 to roll up, and the opening of the quantitative material taking box 2 is opened. At this time, the raw materials and deodorant contained in the quantitative space 22 are poured into the mixer 8, thereby completing the proportion of the raw materials and deodorant for cat litter production and the automatic quantitative material taking and unloading process.

[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
