Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pet supplies, and in particular to an automatic pet food making machine. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the pet market has been booming rapidly, transcending economic cycles, and pet food, benefiting from its high-frequency and essential nature, has firmly held the top position in the segment. Traditional dry pet food has long dominated the pet food industry due to its low price, ease of feeding, and resistance to spoilage.
[0003] With increasing attention to scientific pet care and pet health, wet food made from fresh meat, which is more nutritious, has a higher water content, and a softer texture, is gaining widespread market acceptance due to its ability to reduce obesity and urinary tract diseases. This has led to a proliferation of various wet food products, including canned food, cat treats, soup packs, and raw meat and bone packs. As of 2023, wet food accounted for only 20-30% of the global pet market, indicating huge market potential. However, wet food products are relatively more expensive than traditional dry food, and the quality and content of the meat are still difficult to judge visually. Therefore, some consumers use human kitchen utensils to make their own wet pet food, but this requires a lot of manual labor. Designing a pet food making machine that allows users to make their own wet food could greatly simplify the process. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention addresses the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an automatic pet food production machine with a simple structure, ingenious design, and reasonable layout, capable of automatically producing wet food products and dispensing the prepared wet food products at regular intervals and in measured quantities.
[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is: an automatic pet food making machine, comprising a base 1, characterized in that: a shell 2 is provided on the base 1, a cooking container is provided inside the shell 2 and located above the base 1, a sealing cover 3 is provided at the top opening of the cooking container, a shredder motor 4 is provided on the top of the sealing cover 3, the output end of the shredder motor 4 is connected to a blade shaft 5, and at least two blades 6 evenly distributed in the circumferential direction are provided at the bottom end of the blade shaft 5, the blades 6 being located in the inner cavity of the cooking container. A spiral feeding mechanism 7 is provided at the center of the bottom of the cooking container. The spiral feeding mechanism 7 is driven by a drive motor 8 mounted on the base 1. The spiral feeding mechanism 7 is rotatably connected to a feeding channel located at the bottom of the cooking container. The bottom of the feeding channel is connected to an inclined discharge pipe 9. The manufacturing machine also includes a receiving platform 10, which is equipped with a rotary motor. The output end of the rotary motor is connected to the center of a turntable 11 on the top of the receiving platform 10. Two supports 12 are provided on the turntable 11, and the supports 12 can move to directly below the outlet of the discharge pipe 9.
[0006] The spiral feeding mechanism 7 has a spiral protrusion 13 on its outer wall and an arc-shaped pressing blade 14 on its top. The pressing blade 14 is located in the inner cavity of the cooking container above the feeding channel. The pressing blade 14 is inclined and can squeeze the material into the feeding channel when the spiral feeding mechanism 7 rotates.
[0007] The discharge pipeline 9 is equipped with a discharge control valve.
[0008] The cooking container consists of an upper inner liner 15 and a lower inner liner 16 that are spliced together, and an electric heating device is provided in the interlayer of the lower inner liner 16.
[0009] The cooking container is provided with a handle 17 on the outside.
[0010] A weighing sensor 18 is installed inside the support platform 12.
[0011] The receiving platform 10 is provided with a wiring port 19, which is matched with the wiring plug provided on the base 1.
[0012] The output end of the drive motor 8 is connected to the reduction gearbox 20, and the output end of the reduction gearbox 20 is connected to the bottom end of the screw feeding mechanism 7.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: This automatic pet food maker features a simple, ingenious, and rationally designed structure. Specifically designed for pets' needs for wet food, it incorporates a unique cooking container. This container directly cooks various ingredients, which are then pulverized by blades before cooking to ensure a minced, meat-like consistency in the final wet food. The cooked food is then extruded through a spiral feeding mechanism into a discharge pipe, ultimately falling into a container located below. A weighing sensor within the container's support structure enables automated, quantitative filling of the wet food, allowing users to prepare wet pet food at home for automatic feeding. Furthermore, its large capacity makes it suitable for long-interval production (once every two to one and a half months, filling multiple containers at once). This reduces cleaning and preparation work compared to frequent production (daily or weekly), aligning well with the pet in-home service ecosystem. At the same time, its special structure ensures that it can produce pet food with a mousse texture, which is more in line with the preferences of pets that tend to lick their food. It is also more friendly to older pets, especially in terms of their dental and gastrointestinal health.
[0014] Furthermore, this manufacturing machine has a simple manufacturing process and low production cost, so it can be said that it has many advantages and is particularly suitable for promotion and application in this field, with a very broad market prospect. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 10 As shown: An automatic pet food making machine includes a base 1 as a base, a housing 2 on the base 1, and a cooking container located above the base 1 inside the housing 2. A sealing cover 3 is disposed at the top opening of the cooking container. A shredder motor 4 is disposed on the top of the sealing cover 3. The output end of the shredder motor 4 is connected to a blade shaft 5. At least two blades 6 evenly distributed in a circumferential direction are disposed at the bottom end of the blade shaft 5. The blades 6 are located inside the cavity of the cooking container. A spiral feeding mechanism 7 is provided at the center of the bottom of the cooking container. The spiral feeding mechanism 7 is driven by a drive motor 8 mounted on the base 1. The spiral feeding mechanism 7 is rotatably connected to a feeding channel located at the bottom of the cooking container. The bottom of the feeding channel is connected to an inclined discharge pipe 9. The manufacturing machine also includes a receiving platform 10, which is equipped with a rotary motor. The output end of the rotary motor is connected to the center of a turntable 11 on the top of the receiving platform 10. Two supports 12 are provided on the turntable 11, and the supports 12 can move to directly below the outlet of the discharge pipe 9.
[0027] The spiral feeding mechanism 7 has a spiral protrusion 13 on its outer wall and an arc-shaped pressing blade 14 on its top. The pressing blade 14 is located in the inner cavity of the cooking container above the feeding channel. The pressing blade 14 is inclined and can squeeze the material into the feeding channel when the spiral feeding mechanism 7 rotates.
[0028] The discharge pipeline 9 is equipped with a discharge control valve.
[0029] The cooking container consists of an upper inner liner 15 and a lower inner liner 16 that are spliced together, and an electric heating device is provided in the interlayer of the lower inner liner 16.
[0030] The cooking container is provided with a handle 17 on the outside.
[0031] A weighing sensor 18 is installed inside the support platform 12.
[0032] The receiving platform 10 is provided with a wiring port 19, which is matched with the wiring plug provided on the base 1.
[0033] The output end of the drive motor 8 is connected to the reduction gearbox 20, and the output end of the reduction gearbox 20 is connected to the bottom end of the screw feeding mechanism 7.
[0034] The working process of the automatic pet food making machine in this embodiment of the invention is as follows: The user pours the ingredients and a certain amount of water into the cooking container and closes the sealing lid 3. Then, the control system of this device sends a command to the crushing motor 4. The crushing motor 4 drives the blade 6 to rotate at high speed through the blade shaft 5 to crush the ingredients. After the set time is reached, the crushing motor 4 stops working (the control system of this device is equipped with a timing module). Then, the control system will control the electric heating device in the lower inner pot 16 to turn on the power and generate heat to cook the ingredients in the cooking container. In the later stage of cooking the ingredients, the blade 6 can also be slowly rotated to stir the ingredients so that the ingredients form a paste. Once the food has been pulverized and heated, the control system sends a signal to the drive motor 8. The drive motor 8 drives the screw feeding mechanism 7 to rotate at a constant speed through the reduction gearbox 20. During the rotation of the screw feeding mechanism 7, the inclined downward pressing blades 4 at the top of the mechanism press the paste-like food in the cooking container into the feeding channel. The food that enters the feeding channel moves from top to bottom under the conveying action of the spiral protrusions 13 and is squeezed into the inclined discharge pipe 9 by the spiral protrusions 13. Finally, the food is discharged along the discharge pipe 9 and falls into the canned food box that has been placed on the platform 12. Because a weighing sensor 18 is installed in the support platform 12, the weighing sensor 18 will detect the quality of the food entering the feed basin in real time, and send a signal to the control system after the quality reaches the preset value. The control system controls the discharge control valve installed in the discharge pipe 9 to close, and at the same time controls the drive motor 8 to stop working. Then the control system will also control the rotary motor to drive the turntable 11 to rotate a certain angle, so that the next empty can moves to the outlet of the discharge pipe 9, while the can containing wet grains rotates to the outside, so that the operator can manually remove the full can and freeze it. When there are two supports 12, the turntable 11 rotates 180° each time. When there are three supports 12, the turntable 11 rotates 120° each time. That is, the rotation angle of the turntable 11 each time depends on the specific number of supports 12.
[0035] This process is repeated to fill multiple cans at once. The resulting wet pet food cans can be frozen and taken out when needed for feeding.
[0036] After this production operation is completed, the sealing cap 3 and the upper inner liner 15 can be removed from the outer shell 2 and washed. This also makes it easier to clean the lower inner liner 16, the feeding channel and the discharge pipe 9.
[0037] When the receiving platform 10 is connected to the wiring plug on the base 1 through the wiring port 19, the rotary motor in the receiving platform 10 and the weighing sensor 18 in the support platform 12 are electrically connected to the control system of this device, so that signal transmission can be performed. That is, the rotary motor can be controlled by the control system, and the weighing sensor 18 can send signals to the control system.
