[0002] Cat litter, an indispensable consumable in pet ownership, primarily functions to provide a place for cats to eliminate waste, while also absorbing urine, binding feces, and controlling odor to maintain a clean and hygienic home environment. With technological advancements, combining the adsorption and clumping properties of natural mineral materials with the biodegradable and renewable characteristics of biomass materials to develop environmentally friendly biomineral cat litter has become an important direction in the field. Biomineral cat litter typically uses mineral materials such as bentonite, diatomaceous earth, and attapulgite as a matrix, combined with plant fibers and starch-based biomass materials, aiming to balance the excellent physical properties of mineral materials with the environmentally friendly characteristics of biomass materials. A drying device is required in the preparation process of this cat litter.

External hot air enters the connecting shaft 9 through the rotary joint 11 and is discharged through the air outlets 27 of the multiple stirring rods to dry the cat litter. During this process, one of the output ends of the dual-shaft motor 4 drives the supporting member to work. The supporting member drives the sliding member to slide on the bracket 5. While the sliding member slides on the bracket 5, it drives the support member 8 to move, which in turn drives the connecting shaft 9 and the gear 7 to move. The gear 7 moves while being subjected to the rack. When gear 6 engages, gear 7 rotates, which in turn drives the connecting member and connecting shaft 9 to rotate. Connecting shaft 9 then drives the stirring rod to rotate, allowing the stirring rod to move laterally while rotating to stir the cat litter, resulting in more uniform drying. Simultaneously, the other output end of the dual-axis motor 4 drives the connecting shaft 9 to move up and down via the lifting component, further expanding the stirring and drying range.
