Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of mixing equipment, in particular to mixing equipment and a production method for producing pet nutritional supplements. Background Art

[0002] In the field of pet nutritional supplement production, mixing equipment is one of the key production equipment. Existing mixing equipment has certain limitations in function and structure.

[0003] On the one hand, when mixing raw materials for pet nutritional supplements, it often only has a single mixing function. For some raw materials that need to be dried, the drying operation cannot be completed in the same equipment, and additional drying equipment is required, which increases the complexity and cost of the production process.

[0004] On the other hand, the structural design of existing mixing equipment lacks consideration for ease of assembly, maintenance, and the loading and unloading of raw materials. For example, the connections and fastening methods between equipment components may not be stable and convenient, resulting in a significant waste of time and effort during assembly and disassembly. Furthermore, the design of the feed and discharge ports may be inadequate, affecting the efficiency of raw material loading and the smoothness of discharge.

[0005] Furthermore, cleaning and maintaining internal components during equipment operation presents challenges. For example, residual raw materials may accumulate inside the equipment, which can affect its service life and product quality over time. However, existing equipment lacks effective cleaning mechanisms, making timely cleaning difficult during operation. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a mixing device and a production method for producing pet nutritional supplements to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a mixing device for producing pet nutritional supplements, comprising a barrel, a plurality of legs fixed to the bottom surface of the barrel, and a discharge valve tube plugged and fixed to the bottom surface of the barrel, a protective barrel fixed to the outer side of the barrel, a barrel cover connected to the top of the protective barrel by bolts, a feeding port installed on the top surface of the barrel cover, an agitator installed on the bottom of the barrel cover, a heating tube fixed to the inner ring surface of the protective barrel, two groups of through holes opened on the surface of the barrel, two baffles plugged into the inside of the barrel, a column fixed between the two baffles, a support rod fixed to the bottom surface of one of the baffles at the bottom, and the support rod passes through the bottom plate of the barrel.

[0008] Preferably, the barrel is a cylindrical structure, the top of the protective barrel is fixed with flange 1, the bottom of the barrel cover is fixed with flange 2, both flange 1 and flange 2 are provided with reserved holes, and bolts pass through the reserved holes on the surface of flange 1 and flange 2.

[0009] Preferably, a through hole is opened on the surface of the second flange, a through pipe is inserted into the inside of the through hole, the bottom end of the through pipe extends into the protective tube, and two connecting rods are fixed to the bottom end of the through pipe, one end of one connecting rod is fixed to the inner annular surface of the protective tube, and one end of the other connecting rod is fixed to the outer wall of the barrel.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the barrel is provided with two inner ring grooves, which correspond to two groups of through holes respectively. The through holes are connected to the inner ring grooves. A metal fine mesh plate is fixed between the top surface of the inner ring groove and the bottom surface of the inner ring groove. The metal fine mesh plate is an annular plate, and the inner ring diameter of the metal fine mesh plate is equal to the inner ring caliber of the barrel.

[0011] Preferably, the baffle and the inner ring groove correspond one to one, the height of the baffle is greater than the height of the inner ring groove, the bottom of the baffle is provided with a side groove on the outer ring surface, the side groove is an annular groove, a cleaning brush is fixed inside the side groove, the bottom surface of the barrel is provided with a socket, the support rod passes through the socket, the height of the support rod is greater than the height of the baffle, a sealing ring is sleeved on the rod body of the support rod, the sealing ring is fixed inside the socket, a push ring is provided under the barrel, the bottom end of the support rod is fixed to the top surface of the push ring, the outer ring surface of the push ring is screwed with a screw, one end of the screw passes through the push ring and is screwed in the positioning groove, the positioning groove is provided on the surface of the support leg, there are two positioning grooves, and the two positioning grooves are arranged in an upper and lower manner.

[0012] A method for producing a mixing device for producing pet nutritional supplements comprises the following steps:

[0013] The pet nutritional supplement raw materials are fed into the barrel through the feeding port, and the agitator is started to mix the pet nutritional supplement raw materials. During the mixing process, the switch of the heating tube is triggered, the support rod is pushed upward, and the baffle is moved above the inner ring groove. At this time, the heat generated by the heating tube enters the barrel through the through hole at the bottom, thereby drying the pet nutritional supplement raw materials inside the barrel. The high pressure inside the barrel is dissipated through the through hole at the top into the space between the barrel and the surrounding tube, and then dissipated through part of the through tube.

[0014] Preferably, after the barrel cover is overlapped on top of the barrel, the reserved holes on the surfaces of flange one and flange two correspond to each other, and the bolts are passed through the two sets of reserved holes and then locked.

[0016] Preferably, when there is no need to dry the pet nutritional supplement raw materials inside the barrel, the baffle blocks the inner ring groove. When the heating tube needs to be used to dry the pet nutritional supplement raw materials, the support rod is pushed upward, and the support rod lifts the two baffles. When the baffle falls again, the cleaning brush at the bottom of the baffle sweeps off the residual material on the surface of the metal fine mesh plate.

[0017] Preferably, when the baffle blocks the inner ring groove, one end of the screw is inserted into the positioning groove at the bottom; when the baffle is lifted, one end of the screw is inserted into the positioning groove at the top, thereby preventing the baffle from falling off and limiting its position.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The mixing equipment and production method for pet nutritional supplements proposed in this invention not only incorporates a stirrer to mix the raw materials for the supplement but also integrates a heating tube for drying. During the mixing process, if drying is required, simply trigger the heating tube switch, push the support rod upward, and move the baffle above the inner ring groove. Heat generated by the heating tube enters the barrel through the through-hole at the bottom, drying the raw materials. This multifunctional, integrated design reduces equipment switching during the production process, improves production efficiency, and reduces production costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The fine metal mesh plate 11 is annular, and the inner ring diameter of the fine metal mesh plate 11 is equal to the inner ring diameter of the barrel 1; when there is no need to dry the pet nutritional supplement raw materials inside the barrel 1, the baffle 13 blocks the inner ring groove 9. When the heating tube 12 needs to be used to dry the pet nutritional supplement raw materials, the support rod 17 is pushed upward, and the support rod 17 lifts the two baffles 13. When the baffle 13 falls again, the cleaning brush 15 at the bottom of the baffle 13 sweeps off the residual material on the surface of the fine metal mesh plate 11.

[0033] The baffle 13 and the inner ring groove 9 correspond one to one. The height of the baffle 13 is greater than the height of the inner ring groove 9. The bottom of the baffle 13 is provided with a side groove 14 on the outer ring surface. The side groove 14 is an annular groove. A cleaning brush 15 is fixed inside the side groove 14. The bottom surface of the barrel 1 is provided with a socket 18. The support rod 17 passes through the socket 18. The height of the support rod 17 is greater than the height of the baffle 13.

The bottom of the support rod 17 The end is fixed on the top surface of the push ring 20, and the outer ring surface of the push ring 20 is screwed with a screw rod 21. One end of the screw rod 21 passes through the push ring 20 and is screwed into the positioning groove 22. The positioning groove 22 is opened on the surface of the support leg 26. There are two positioning grooves 22, and the two positioning grooves 22 are arranged up and down; when the baffle 13 blocks the inner ring groove 9, one end of the screw rod 21 is inserted into the positioning groove 22 at the bottom; when the baffle 13 is lifted, one end of the screw rod 21 is inserted into the positioning groove 22 at the top to realize the anti-slip limit of the baffle 13.

[0034] The pet nutritional supplement raw materials are fed into the barrel 1 through the feeding port 24, and the agitator 23 is started to mix the pet nutritional supplement raw materials. During the mixing process, the switch of the heating tube 12 is triggered, and the support rod 17 is pushed upward, and the baffle 13 is moved above the inner ring groove 9. At this time, the heat generated by the heating tube 12 enters the barrel 1 through the through hole 10 at the bottom, thereby drying the pet nutritional supplement raw materials inside the barrel 1. The high pressure inside the barrel 1 is dissipated through the through hole 10 at the top into the space between the barrel 1 and the surrounding tube 2, and then dissipated through the partial through tube 7.

[0035] Example 2, based on Example 1, proposes a production method of a mixing device for producing pet nutritional supplements, comprising the following steps:

[0036] Equipment assembly: Place the barrel 1 in a suitable position, with its bottom surface supported by a plurality of legs 26. Sleeve the protective tube 2 on the outside of the barrel 1, and match the flange 1 at the top of the protective tube 2 with the flange 2 at the bottom of the barrel cover 3, so that the reserved holes 4 on the surfaces of the two are aligned. Use bolts 5 to penetrate the reserved holes 4 on the surfaces of flange 1 and flange 2 and lock them. At this time, the bottom of the agitator 23 is inserted into the barrel 1 to complete the fixation of the barrel cover 3 and the barrel 1. At the same time, the through pipe 7 passes through the through hole 6 on the surface of the barrel cover 3, and the two connecting rods 8 at its bottom end are respectively fixed to the inner annular surface of the protective tube 2 and the outer wall of the barrel 1 to ensure that the barrel cover 3 will not rotate on the top of the barrel 1 and the reserved holes 4 correspond.

[0037] Feeding and preliminary mixing: Open the feeding port 24 on the top surface of the barrel cover 3 and feed the pet nutritional supplement raw materials into the barrel 1 through the feeding port 24. Start the agitator 23 to mix the pet nutritional supplement raw materials in the barrel 1.

[0038] Drying operation (optional): Determine whether drying is required, and based on production requirements, determine whether the pet nutritional supplement raw materials inside the barrel 1 need to be dried. If drying is not required, proceed directly to the subsequent steps; if drying is required, perform the following operations. Find the screw 21 screwed to the outer ring surface of the push ring 20 at the bottom of the barrel 1. At this time, the baffle 13 blocks the inner ring groove 9, and one end of the screw 21 is inserted into the positioning groove 22 at the bottom. Push the support rod 17 upward, and the support rod 17 lifts the two baffles 13 to move the baffle 13 above the inner ring groove 9. During the lifting process of the baffle 13, the cleaning brush 15 at the bottom of the baffle 13 will sweep off the residual material on the surface of the metal fine mesh plate 11. After the baffle 13 is lifted, turn the screw 21 so that one end of it is inserted into the positioning groove 22 at the top to achieve anti-slip limit for the baffle 13. When the heating tube 12 is switched on, the heat generated by the heating tube 12 enters the barrel 1 through the through-hole 10 at the bottom of the barrel 1, drying the pet nutritional supplement ingredients inside the barrel 1. The high pressure inside the barrel 1 is dissipated through the through-hole 10 at the top into the space between the barrel 1 and the surrounding barrel 2, and partially dissipated through the through-tube 7.

[0039] Discharging: After drying is complete (if drying was performed), if the baffle 13 is in the raised position, rotate the screw 21 again to insert one end back into the positioning groove 22 at the bottom. The baffle 13 then drops down to cover the inner ring groove 9. Open the discharge valve 25 fixed to the bottom of the barrel 1 and discharge the mixed and dried (if drying was performed) pet nutritional supplement raw materials through the discharge valve 25.

[0040] Cleaning and maintenance: After discharging is completed, turn off the agitator 23 and the heating tube 12 (if used), clean the equipment, check whether each component is normal, and prepare for the next use.

[0041] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
