Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cat litter production technology, specifically to an automated production equipment and process for antibacterial cat litter. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the pet industry, antibacterial cat litter, as a core consumable for pet care, is experiencing a continuous increase in market demand, leading to increasingly higher requirements for production efficiency and product quality. Automated production equipment is key to improving the production capacity of antibacterial cat litter and ensuring product stability. Among these processes, the crushing step, as the core of cat litter raw material processing, directly affects the uniformity of cat litter particles and the effectiveness of subsequent antibacterial treatment.

[0003] In existing automated antibacterial cat litter production equipment, the crushing mechanism mostly adopts a unidirectional extrusion or shearing crushing method, such as a structure with a fixed toothed plate and a unidirectional swinging toothed plate. This type of structure suffers from a single crushing dimension, easily leading to insufficient crushing of the cat litter raw material and uneven particle size. This not only affects the effectiveness of subsequent processes such as molding and antibacterial spraying but also reduces raw material utilization. Furthermore, the power transmission system of existing equipment is poorly designed, often using multiple independent motors to drive the crushing mechanism, dust pumping mechanism, etc. This not only increases the manufacturing cost and energy consumption of the equipment but also results in poor coordination between the various mechanisms, easily leading to asynchronous actions during operation, further impacting production efficiency.

[0004] In terms of dust suppression, existing equipment mostly uses independent water pumps or air pumps to drive spray dust suppression, or adopts continuous spraying. Independently powered dust suppression systems increase the structural complexity and energy consumption of the equipment, while continuous spraying easily leads to water waste and may cause the cat litter raw materials to become overly wet, affecting the efficiency of subsequent drying processes. In addition, the buffer structure design of existing equipment is simple, mostly using springs for direct tension and limiting, which is difficult to effectively absorb the impact load generated by the crushing mechanism during operation, resulting in large vibrations, high noise, rapid wear of parts, and shortened service life. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an automated production equipment and process for antibacterial cat litter, solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] The solution of the present invention to the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an automated production equipment for antibacterial cat litter, comprising:

[0008] A base on which a first crushing mechanism and a second crushing mechanism are mounted. A driving mechanism is installed inside the first crushing mechanism, and a transmission mechanism is installed inside the second crushing mechanism.

[0009] The first crushing mechanism is equipped with a first toothed plate via a drive mechanism, and the second crushing mechanism is equipped with a second toothed plate.

[0010] A motor is mounted on the base, and the motor is connected to the transmission mechanism via a belt drive.

[0011] The base is located above the first crushing mechanism and a spray pipe is laid on it. Atomizing nozzles are evenly installed on the spray pipe.

[0012] A buffer mechanism is installed at the bottom end of the base of the second crushing mechanism, and the buffer mechanism is connected to the bottom end of the second crushing mechanism.

[0013] The transmission mechanism includes a power wheel and a rotating shaft eccentrically mounted thereon, the rotating shaft being connected to the second crushing mechanism;

[0014] The drive mechanism is connected to the inside of the rotating shaft through a pipeline, the buffer mechanism is connected to a buffer tank through a pipeline, and the buffer tank is connected to the spray pipe through a timer valve.

[0015] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0016] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is provided with a partition, which divides the interior of the rotating shaft into a first cavity and a second cavity, and the two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively provided with a first connector and a second connector;

[0017] A rubber bladder is installed in both the first cavity and the second cavity, and the first connector and the second connector are respectively connected to the rubber bladder in the first cavity and the second cavity.

[0018] A first pressure plate and a second pressure plate are respectively installed in the first cavity and the second cavity, and a first arc plate and a second arc plate are respectively installed at the ends of the first pressure plate and the second pressure plate located outside the rotating shaft.

[0019] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are:

[0020] The shaft's interior is divided into two independent cavities by a partition, allowing for independent installation and operation of the two rubber bladders and avoiding the power transmission interruption issues inherent in single-cavity designs. The combination of the double rubber bladders with the double arc plates and double pressure plates ensures that when the shaft rotates eccentrically, the first and second arc plates alternately contact and compress the corresponding rubber bladders with the second crushing mechanism, continuously generating stable hydraulic power. This guarantees the continuity of power supply to the subsequent drive mechanism, enabling smooth reciprocating lateral movement of the first toothed plate and improving its synergy with the crushing action of the second toothed plate. The rubber bladders possess excellent elastic buffering properties, effectively absorbing the impact force when the arc plates contact the second crushing mechanism, reducing component wear, and extending the service life of the shaft and the second crushing mechanism. Simultaneously, the first and second connectors are respectively connected to the corresponding rubber bladders, enabling precise directional transmission of hydraulic oil and preventing power transmission disruptions caused by hydraulic oil mixing.

[0021] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes two T-tubes, which are respectively installed on both sides of the base. Hydraulic cylinders are installed at both ends of the T-tubes, and the other end of the T-tubes is connected to the first connector or the second connector.

[0022] The hydraulic cylinder is equipped with a first piston plate, and the first piston plates in the hydraulic cylinders on both sides are connected and fixed by push rods.

[0023] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are:

[0024] Two T-joints connect to the two joints of the rotating shaft, enabling independent reception and distribution of dual hydraulic power. Combined with the hydraulic cylinders on both sides, this ensures balanced driving force at both ends of the push rod, preventing bending deformation or movement jamming caused by unilateral force and ensuring the smooth lateral movement of the first toothed plate. The T-joint structure simplifies the hydraulic pipeline connection method, reduces the number of pipeline interfaces, lowers the risk of hydraulic oil leakage, and improves the sealing reliability of the drive mechanism. The push rod connects and fixes the first piston plates of the two hydraulic cylinders, allowing the two piston plates to move synchronously, thereby driving the first toothed plate to move smoothly as a whole. This ensures uniform force on the first toothed plate, preventing damage due to excessive localized force, and simultaneously improving the stability and precision of the crushing action.

[0025] Furthermore, the first crushing mechanism is provided with a limiting groove, and the first toothed plate is provided with a fixing block. The first toothed plate is installed on the first crushing mechanism by limiting the fixing block and the limiting groove.

[0026] The push rod passes through the fixed block, and a limiting plate is provided on the push rod, with the limiting plate located on both sides of the fixed block.

[0027] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are:

[0028] The cooperation between the fixed block and the limiting groove enables the precise positioning and installation of the first toothed plate on the first crushing mechanism, clearly defining the movement trajectory of the first toothed plate and preventing it from deviating or tilting during lateral movement. This ensures that the teeth of the first and second toothed plates can precisely mesh, improving the crushing effect. The push rod passes through the fixed block and is limited by the limiting plates on both sides, which can stably transmit the linear power of the push rod to the first toothed plate, while preventing relative sliding between the fixed block and the push rod, ensuring the high efficiency of power transmission. The design of the limiting plates also limits the movement stroke of the first toothed plate, preventing it from moving excessively and colliding with other components, improving the safety and reliability of equipment operation, and reducing frictional wear between components.

[0029] Furthermore, the buffer mechanism includes a fixed base, on which a mounting base is mounted, and on which a sleeve is mounted, and a connecting rod is inserted into the sleeve and the mounting base;

[0030] One end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the second crushing mechanism, and the end of the connecting rod that passes through the mounting base is elastically mounted on the mounting base by a spring.

[0031] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are:

[0032] The cooperation between the fixed base and the mounting base provides a stable mounting foundation for other components of the buffer mechanism, ensuring that the buffer mechanism will not shift during operation and guaranteeing the stability of the pulling and limiting of the second crushing mechanism. The connecting rod is rotatably connected to the second crushing mechanism, which can adapt to the swinging motion of the second crushing mechanism, avoiding stress concentration of components caused by rigid connection and reducing fatigue damage. The elastic installation design of the spring can provide a continuous elastic pulling force to the connecting rod, which not only realizes the pulling and limiting of the bottom of the second crushing mechanism, but also absorbs the impact energy generated by the swinging of the second crushing mechanism, playing a good role in buffering and shock absorption, reducing vibration and noise during equipment operation. At the same time, the elastic restoring force of the spring can assist the second crushing mechanism to quickly reset, improving the frequency and efficiency of swing crushing.

[0033] Furthermore, the connecting rod is provided with a second piston plate inside the sleeve, and the second piston plate divides the inside of the sleeve into a first cavity and a second cavity;

[0034] Both the first cavity and the second cavity are equipped with a three-way connector, and one-way valves are installed at both ends of the three-way connector that are away from the sleeve.

[0035] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are:

[0036] The second piston plate divides the inside of the sleeve into independent first and second chambers, enabling separate pumping of air and water to prevent them from mixing and affecting subsequent dust suppression. The design of the three-way connector and one-way valve can precisely control the unidirectional flow direction of the fluid. When the second piston plate moves back and forth, it can ensure that the first and second chambers pump air and water into the buffer tank in one direction, respectively, preventing air or water in the buffer tank from flowing back into the sleeve and ensuring pumping efficiency. The one-way valve can also improve the sealing of the fluid delivery, reduce leakage, and simplify the control logic of the fluid circuit. It eliminates the need for additional complex control valves, reducing equipment costs and failure risks.

[0037] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first cavity is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second cavity;

[0038] Both the first cavity and the second cavity are connected to the buffer tank via their tee connectors, wherein the first cavity is used to pump air into the buffer tank and the second cavity is used to pump water into the buffer tank.

[0039] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are:

[0040] The design of the first chamber having a larger cross-sectional area than the second chamber adapts to the different pumping requirements of air and water. Air requires a larger volume change to generate sufficient pressure, and the larger cross-sectional area of ​​the first chamber can increase the air pumping volume, ensuring that the buffer tank can store enough high-pressure air. Water pumping, on the other hand, requires less volume change, and the smaller cross-sectional area of ​​the second chamber can ensure stable water pumping pressure, avoiding excessive or insufficient water volume from affecting the dust suppression effect. The separate design of pumping air into the first chamber and pumping water into the second chamber achieves separate storage and precise supply of air and water. When the timer valve is opened, the high-pressure air in the buffer tank can quickly force water into the spray pipe, forming a uniform water mist through the atomizing nozzle, improving dust suppression efficiency. At the same time, the reasonable chamber area ratio and functional division fully utilize the power of the reciprocating movement of the connecting rod, improving energy utilization and achieving efficient and energy-saving operation of the dust suppression system.

[0041] On the other hand, the present invention provides a production process for an automated antibacterial cat litter production equipment, including the following steps:

[0042] S1. Start the motor. The motor drives the power wheel of the transmission mechanism to rotate via the belt.

[0043] S2. The power wheel drives the shaft on it to rotate eccentrically, thereby lifting the second crushing mechanism upward. Since the bottom of the second crushing mechanism is pulled and limited by the buffer mechanism, the second crushing mechanism and the second toothed plate swing back and forth.

[0044] S3. The second toothed plate works in conjunction with the first toothed plate to crush the cat litter raw material;

[0045] S4. During the eccentric rotation of the shaft, the first or second arc plate on it periodically contacts the second crushing mechanism, squeezing the corresponding rubber bladder, squeezing the hydraulic oil into the hydraulic cylinder of the drive mechanism, pushing the first piston plate and push rod to move, and then driving the first toothed plate to move laterally through the limiting plate.

[0046] S5. During the shaking process of the second crushing mechanism, the connecting rod of the driving buffer mechanism drives the second piston plate to move inside the sleeve, pumping air and water into the buffer tank.

[0047] S6. When the timer valve opens, the water in the buffer tank is forced into the spray pipe by high-pressure air and sprayed out through the atomizing nozzle to suppress dust.

[0048] As can be seen, the automated production equipment and process for antibacterial cat litter provided by this invention have the following beneficial effects:

[0049] 1. Driven by a single motor, the second toothed plate reciprocates and swings in tandem with the first toothed plate moving laterally: the power wheel drives the shaft to rotate eccentrically, and the buffer mechanism's traction limit causes the second toothed plate to swing. Simultaneously, the rotation of the shaft causes the arc plate to compress the rubber bladder, generating hydraulic power that drives the first toothed plate to move laterally. This bidirectional crushing method applies force to the cat litter raw material from different dimensions, avoiding the problems of insufficient crushing and uneven particle size caused by a single crushing direction, thus significantly improving crushing efficiency and raw material processing quality.

[0050] Relying on a single electric motor as the core power source, power is synchronously transmitted to multiple working units, including the crushing and buffering mechanisms, through a combination of belt drive, hydraulic transmission, and mechanical transmission. The motor power not only drives the crushing action but also powers the pumping of air and water to the buffering mechanism via the swaying motion of the secondary crushing mechanism, eliminating the need for multiple additional power units. This reduces energy consumption and manufacturing costs, simplifies the overall structure, minimizes potential failure points, and improves operational reliability.

[0051] The dust suppression system is powered by the vibration of the second crushing mechanism, eliminating the need for additional pumping equipment such as water pumps and air pumps, thus achieving secondary energy utilization and greater energy efficiency. Simultaneously, by storing air and water in a buffer tank and precisely controlling the spraying timing using a timer valve, it can match the dust generation cycle during the crushing process, avoiding water waste caused by continuous spraying. The water mist sprayed from the atomizing nozzles can quickly and evenly adsorb dust without excessively wetting the cat litter raw materials, ensuring a clean production environment without affecting the normal operation of subsequent processes.

[0052] The buffer mechanism at the bottom of the second crushing mechanism uses springs to achieve elastic traction and limit, reducing the impact load during its swaying process and lowering equipment vibration and noise. The rubber bladder inside the rotating shaft acts as a flexible buffer when the arc plate contacts the second crushing mechanism, preventing rigid collisions from causing wear to the components. In addition, the first toothed plate achieves smooth limited movement through the cooperation of the fixed block and the limiting groove, further improving the stability of equipment operation, reducing component wear, and extending the overall service life.

[0066] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0067] Please see Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the embodiments provided by the present invention are as follows:

[0068] Example 1

[0069] An automated production line for antibacterial cat litter includes:

[0070] The base 7 is equipped with a first crushing mechanism 3 and a second crushing mechanism 6. The first crushing mechanism 3 is equipped with a drive mechanism 8, and the second crushing mechanism 6 is equipped with a transmission mechanism 5.

[0071] The first crushing mechanism 3 is equipped with a first toothed plate 301 via a drive mechanism 8, and the second crushing mechanism 6 is equipped with a second toothed plate 601.

[0072] A motor 1 is mounted on the base 7, and the motor 1 is connected to the transmission mechanism 5 via a belt 2.

[0073] The base 7 is located above the first crushing mechanism 3 and a spray pipe 4 is laid on it. Atomizing nozzles 401 are evenly installed on the spray pipe 4.

[0074] A buffer mechanism 9 is installed at the bottom of the base 7, which is located at the bottom of the second crushing mechanism 6. The buffer mechanism 9 is connected to the bottom of the second crushing mechanism 6.

[0075] The transmission mechanism 5 includes a power wheel 502 and a rotating shaft 501 eccentrically mounted thereon, and the rotating shaft 501 is connected to the second crushing mechanism 6;

[0076] The drive mechanism 8 is connected to the inside of the rotating shaft 501 through a pipe, and the buffer mechanism 9 is connected to a buffer tank through a pipe. The buffer tank is connected to the spray pipe 4 through a timer valve.

[0077] Example 2

[0078] To optimize the internal power transmission structure of the shaft, improve the continuity and stability of the power supply to the drive mechanism, enhance the synergy of the crushing action between the first and second toothed plates, and simultaneously reduce component wear and extend equipment lifespan, for example, such as... Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the present invention also includes:

[0079] The rotating shaft 501 is provided with a partition 511, which divides the interior of the rotating shaft 501 into a first cavity 507 and a second cavity 509. The two ends of the rotating shaft 501 are respectively provided with a first connector 503 and a second connector 508.

[0080] A rubber bladder 504 is installed in both the first cavity 507 and the second cavity 509. The first connector 503 and the second connector 508 are respectively connected to the rubber bladder 504 in the first cavity 507 and the second cavity 509.

[0081] A first pressure plate 505 and a second pressure plate 510 are respectively installed in the first cavity 507 and the second cavity 509. A first arc plate 506 and a second arc plate 512 are respectively installed at the ends of the first pressure plate 505 and the second pressure plate 510 outside the rotating shaft 501. The interior of the rotating shaft 501 is divided into independent first cavities 507 and second cavities 509 by a partition plate 511, which can realize the independent installation and operation of the two rubber bladders 504 and avoid the problem of power transmission interruption in a single cavity design. The cooperation of the double rubber bladders 504 with the double arc plates and double pressure plates allows the first arc plate 506 and the second arc plate 512 to alternately interact with the second crushing mechanism when the rotating shaft 501 rotates eccentrically. The first toothed plate 301 contacts and squeezes the corresponding rubber bladder 504, continuously generating stable hydraulic power to ensure the continuity of power supply to the subsequent drive mechanism 8, thereby achieving smooth reciprocating lateral movement of the first toothed plate 301 and improving the synergy with the crushing action of the second toothed plate 601. The rubber bladder 504 has good elastic buffering performance, which can effectively absorb the impact force when the arc plate contacts the second crushing mechanism 6, reduce component wear, and extend the service life of the rotating shaft 501 and the second crushing mechanism 6. At the same time, the first connector 503 and the second connector 508 are respectively connected to the corresponding rubber bladder 504, which can accurately realize the directional transmission of hydraulic oil and avoid power transmission disorder caused by hydraulic oil mixing.

[0082] The drive mechanism 8 includes two three-way pipes 801, which are respectively installed on both sides of the base 7. Hydraulic cylinders 802 are installed at both ends of the three-way pipes 801, and the other end of the three-way pipes 801 is connected to the first connector 503 or the second connector 508.

[0083] A first piston plate 805 is installed inside the hydraulic cylinder 802. The first piston plates 805 in the hydraulic cylinders 802 on both sides are connected and fixed by push rods 803. Two three-way pipes 801 are respectively connected to the two joints of the rotating shaft 501, which can realize the independent reception and distribution of dual hydraulic power. With the design of the hydraulic cylinders 802 on both sides, both ends of the push rod 803 can obtain a balanced driving force, avoiding bending deformation or movement jamming caused by unilateral force on the push rod 803, and ensuring the smooth lateral movement of the first toothed plate 301. The structure of the three-way pipe 801 simplifies the connection method of the hydraulic pipeline, reduces the number of pipeline interfaces, reduces the risk of hydraulic oil leakage, and improves the sealing reliability of the drive mechanism 8. The first piston plates 805 of the hydraulic cylinders 802 on both sides are connected and fixed by the push rods 803, so that the two piston plates move synchronously, thereby driving the first toothed plate 301 to move smoothly as a whole, ensuring that the first toothed plate 301 is subjected to uniform force, avoiding damage to the toothed plate due to excessive local force, and improving the stability and accuracy of the crushing action.

[0084] The first crushing mechanism 3 is provided with a limiting groove 303, and the first toothed plate 301 is provided with a fixing block 302. The first toothed plate 301 is limited and installed on the first crushing mechanism 3 by the fixing block 302 and the limiting groove 303.

[0085] The push rod 803 passes through the fixed block 302. A limiting plate 804 is provided on the push rod 803, located on both sides of the fixed block 302. The cooperation between the fixed block 302 and the limiting groove 303 enables the precise positioning and installation of the first toothed plate 301 on the first crushing mechanism 3, clearly defining the movement trajectory of the first toothed plate 301 and preventing it from shifting or tilting during lateral movement. This ensures precise meshing between the teeth of the first toothed plate 301 and the second toothed plate 601, improving the crushing effect. The push rod 803, passing through the fixed block 302 and limiting the fixed block 302 through the limiting plates 804 on both sides, can stably transmit the linear power of the push rod 803 to the first toothed plate 301, while preventing relative sliding between the fixed block 302 and the push rod 803, ensuring efficient power transmission. The design of the limiting plate 804 also limits the travel of the first toothed plate 301, preventing excessive movement and collisions with other components, improving the safety and reliability of equipment operation, and reducing frictional wear between components.

[0086] Example 3

[0087] To enhance the traction limiting and damping effect of the buffer mechanism, achieve efficient separation and pumping of air and water, and improve the energy efficiency and dust suppression efficiency of the dust suppression system, for example, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the present invention also includes:

[0088] The buffer mechanism 9 includes a fixed seat 905, a mounting seat 903 mounted on the fixed seat 905, a sleeve 902 mounted on the mounting seat 903, and a connecting rod 901 inserted into the sleeve 902 and the mounting seat 903.

[0089] One end of the connecting rod 901 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the second crushing mechanism 6. The end of the connecting rod 901 that passes through the mounting base 903 is elastically mounted on the mounting base 903 by a spring 904. The cooperation between the fixed base 905 and the mounting base 903 provides a stable mounting foundation for other components of the buffer mechanism 9, ensuring that the buffer mechanism 9 will not be displaced during operation and guaranteeing the stability of the pulling and limiting of the second crushing mechanism 6. The rotatable connection between the connecting rod 901 and the second crushing mechanism 6 can adapt to the swinging motion of the second crushing mechanism 6, avoiding stress concentration of components caused by rigid connection and reducing fatigue damage. The elastic mounting design of the spring 904 can provide a continuous elastic pulling force for the connecting rod 901, which not only realizes the pulling and limiting of the bottom end of the second crushing mechanism 6, but also absorbs the impact energy generated when the second crushing mechanism 6 swings, playing a good buffering and shock absorption effect and reducing the vibration and noise during equipment operation. At the same time, the elastic restoring force of the spring 904 can assist the second crushing mechanism 6 to quickly reset, improving the frequency and efficiency of swing crushing.

[0090] The connecting rod 901 is located inside the sleeve 902 and is provided with a second piston plate 908, which divides the inside of the sleeve 902 into a first cavity 907 and a second cavity 909.

[0091] Both the first chamber 907 and the second chamber 909 are equipped with a three-way connector 906. One-way valves are installed at both ends of the three-way connector 906 opposite to the sleeve 902. The second piston plate 908 divides the interior of the sleeve 902 into independent first chambers 907 and second chambers 909, enabling separate pumping of air and water to prevent them from mixing and affecting subsequent dust suppression. The design of the three-way connector 906 and the one-way valves precisely controls the unidirectional flow direction of the fluid. When the second piston plate 908 reciprocates, it ensures that air and water are pumped unidirectionally into the buffer tank from the first chamber 907 and the second chamber 909 respectively, preventing air or water from flowing back into the sleeve 902 and ensuring pumping efficiency. The one-way valves also improve the sealing of the fluid transport, reduce leakage, and simplify the control logic of the fluid circuit, eliminating the need for additional complex control valves and reducing equipment costs and failure risks.

[0092] The cross-sectional area of ​​the first cavity 907 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second cavity 909;

[0093] Both the first chamber 907 and the second chamber 909 are connected to the buffer tank via their tee connectors 906. The first chamber 907 is used to pump air into the buffer tank, and the second chamber 909 is used to pump water into the buffer tank. The design of the first chamber 907 having a larger cross-sectional area than the second chamber 909 is to accommodate the different pumping requirements of air and water. Air requires a larger volume change to generate sufficient pressure, and the larger cross-sectional area of ​​the first chamber 907 can increase the air pumping volume, ensuring that the buffer tank can store enough high-pressure air. Water pumping, on the other hand, requires less volume change, and the smaller cross-sectional area of ​​the first chamber 907 is sufficient. The second chamber 909 ensures stable water pump pressure, preventing excessive or insufficient water from affecting dust suppression. The separate design of the first chamber 907 pumping in air and the second chamber 909 pumping in water enables separate storage and precise supply of air and water. When the timer valve is opened, the high-pressure air in the buffer tank can quickly force water into the spray pipe 4, forming a uniform water mist through the atomizing nozzle 401, thus improving dust suppression efficiency. At the same time, the reasonable chamber area ratio and functional division fully utilize the power of the reciprocating movement of the connecting rod 901, improving energy utilization and achieving efficient and energy-saving operation of the dust suppression system.

[0094] Example 4

[0095] To clarify the specific operational steps of automated antibacterial cat litter production, standardize the collaborative workflow among various departments, and ensure the orderly and efficient production process, for example, such as... Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the present invention also includes:

[0096] The production process of an automated antibacterial cat litter production equipment includes the following steps:

[0097] S1. Start motor 1. Motor 1 drives the power wheel 502 of transmission mechanism 5 to rotate through belt 2;

[0098] S2, the power wheel 502 drives the rotating shaft 501 on it to rotate eccentrically, thereby lifting the second crushing mechanism 6 upward. Since the bottom end of the second crushing mechanism 6 is pulled and limited by the buffer mechanism 9, the second crushing mechanism 6 and the second toothed plate 601 swing back and forth.

[0099] S3, the second toothed plate 601 and the first toothed plate 301 work together to crush the cat litter raw material;

[0100] S4. During the eccentric rotation of the rotating shaft 501, the first arc plate 506 or the second arc plate 512 on it periodically contacts the second crushing mechanism 6, squeezing the corresponding rubber bladder 504, squeezing the hydraulic oil into the hydraulic cylinder 802 of the drive mechanism 8, pushing the first piston plate 805 and the push rod 803 to move, and then driving the first toothed plate 301 to move laterally through the limiting plate 804.

[0101] S5. During the shaking process of the second crushing mechanism 6, the connecting rod 901 of the driving buffer mechanism 9 drives the second piston plate 908 to move inside the sleeve 902, pumping air and water into the buffer tank.

[0102] S6. When the timer valve is opened, the water in the buffer tank is forced into the spray pipe 4 under the action of high pressure air, and sprayed out through the atomizing nozzle 401 to suppress dust.

[0103] Working principle:

[0104] First, start motor 1. Motor 1 drives the power wheel 502 of transmission mechanism 5 to rotate through belt 2. By using the power transmission of belt 2, the driving force of motor 1 is transmitted to power wheel 502, providing a power basis for subsequent crushing operations.

[0105] During the rotation of the power wheel 502, it will drive the eccentrically mounted shaft 501 on it to rotate eccentrically as well. When the eccentrically mounted shaft 501 rotates, it will generate an upward lifting force, thereby lifting the second crushing mechanism 6 upward. At the same time, since the bottom end of the second crushing mechanism 6 is connected to the buffer mechanism 9, the buffer mechanism 9 will form a pulling limit on the bottom end of the second crushing mechanism 6. Under the combined action of the lifting force and the pulling limit force, the second crushing mechanism 6 and the toothed plate on it will produce a reciprocating swaying motion.

[0106] During the reciprocating oscillation of the toothed plate on the second crushing mechanism 6, it will cooperate with the toothed plate on the first crushing mechanism 3. Through the relative motion of the two, the input cat litter raw material will be subjected to squeezing and shearing forces to achieve the crushing process of the cat litter raw material.

[0107] During the continuous eccentric rotation of the rotating shaft 501, the two arc plates on it periodically contact the second crushing mechanism 6. When the arc plates contact the second crushing mechanism 6, they will exert a squeezing effect on the rubber bladder 504 in the corresponding cavity. After being compressed, the rubber bladder 504 will squeeze out the hydraulic oil inside. The hydraulic oil enters the hydraulic cylinder 802 of the drive mechanism 8 through the pipeline. After the hydraulic oil enters the hydraulic cylinder 802, it will push the piston plate inside to move. The piston plate will then drive the push rod 803 connected to it to move synchronously. The limiting plate 804 on the push rod 803 will interact with the fixing structure of the first toothed plate 301, thereby driving the first toothed plate 301 to move laterally. Through the lateral movement of the first toothed plate 301 and the reciprocating swing of the second toothed plate 601, the crushing effect of the cat litter raw material is further improved.

[0108] During the reciprocating oscillation of the second crushing mechanism 6, the connecting rod 901 of the buffer mechanism 9 will move together. The connecting rod 901 will drive the piston plate located in the sleeve 902 to reciprocate inside the sleeve 902. When the piston plate moves, it will change the volume of the two cavities in the sleeve 902 respectively. Using the pressure difference generated by the volume change, air and water are pumped into the buffer tank respectively through the connector with a one-way valve to realize the storage of air and water.

[0109] When the timer valve is opened, the high-pressure air stored in the buffer tank will exert pressure on the water in the tank. Under the pressure, the water is forced into the spray pipe 4 and finally sprayed out in an atomized state through the atomizing nozzle 401 on the spray pipe 4. The atomized water mist can quickly adsorb the dust generated during the crushing process, achieve the dust reduction effect, and ensure the cleanliness of the production environment.
