Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cat litter production, and particularly relates to a bucket elevator for cat litter production. Background Art

[0002] Cat litter is an object used by cat owners to bury feces and urine. It has good water absorption and is usually used together with a cat litter box (or cat toilet). Pour an appropriate amount of cat litter into the litter box. When a trained cat needs to defecate, it will go into the litter box and deposit cat feces on it.

[0003] The existing bucket elevator for cat litter production drives the bucket to operate through a transmission crawler. When the bucket operates to the position corresponding to the discharge port, the opening of the bucket faces downward. Since there is no guiding mechanism, the cat litter production materials in the bucket cannot fall into the discharge port for discharge. At the same time, the existing elevator cannot adjust the discharge port to different heights according to needs, and the device has poor practicality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the problems raised in the above background technology, the present invention provides a bucket elevator for cat litter production, which has a guiding function and can facilitate the discharge of raw materials in the bucket into the discharge port.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The present invention sets a guide assembly. After the lifting bucket moves to the position corresponding to the discharge port, the raw materials are guided into the discharge port by the guide plate and discharged.

After that, the raw materials remaining at the lower end of the body can be discharged from the body through the cleaning port. The provision of the cleaning assembly facilitates the cleaning of the raw materials accumulated and leaked at the lower end of the body.

[0016] 3. The present invention sets an adjustment component, turns on motor 2 to drive gear 1 to rotate, and the rotation of gear 1 drives two screws in the bottom box to rotate in the same direction through gear 2. The rotation of the two screws drives the lifting plate to slide in the bottom box, and the lifting plate pushes the machine body to rise and fall through motor 2, so that the discharge port can be adjusted to different heights. By setting the adjustment component, the height of the machine body and the discharge port can be adjusted, which is convenient for lifting the cat litter production raw materials to different heights according to needs. Fixed limit bars at both ends of the bottom box can limit the slide plate to prevent the slide plate from hitting gear 2 and gear 1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
