[0030] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a rotating rod 510 is fixedly connected to the upper axis of the push plate 58, and four annular sliding grooves are provided on the outer side of the rotating rod 510. A forming plate 59 is fixedly sleeved on the inner wall of the cylinder 1 near the upper side, and a cutting knife seat 511 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the forming plate 59 at the axis.

[0033] It should be noted that when the ventilation fan 63 is running, the outside air enters the inner side of the cylinder 1 through the air inlet 62 and is discharged from the lower side of the cylinder 1.

[0041] It should be noted that the isolation plate 68 is made of a porous structural material to avoid affecting the flow of air. The isolation plate 68 is used to isolate the filter cartridge 67 and the heating net 61 to avoid direct contact between the two, which would reduce the service life of the filter cartridge 67.
[0042] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: first, when the ventilation fan 63 is running, the outside air enters the inner side of the cylinder 1 through the air inlet 62 and is discharged from the lower side of the cylinder 1. The air is heated by the heating net 61, and the hot air dries the formed granular materials. The first receiving plate 65 is located at the upper side, and the formed granular materials will fall on the first receiving plate 65 on the upper side. Then, due to the shapes of the first receiving plate 65 and the second receiving plate 66, the granular materials roll onto the first receiving plate 65 and the second receiving plate 66 in turn to increase the time that the granular materials stay inside the cylinder 1. The filter cylinder 67 is used to filter the dust in the air passing through itself to avoid Dust adheres to the granular material. The isolation plate 68 is made of a porous structure material to avoid affecting the flow of air. The isolation plate 68 is used to isolate the filter cartridge 67 and the heating net 61 to avoid direct contact between the two, which reduces the service life of the filter cartridge 67. Through the cooperation of the first receiving plate 65 and the second receiving plate 66, the pet food particles first fall on the first receiving plate 65 on the upper side and then roll to fall on the first receiving plate 65 and the second receiving plate 66 on the lower side, thereby extending the heating time of the pet food particles. The ventilation fan 63 guides the hot air from the side wall of the cylinder 1 to the lower side, avoiding the problem of insufficient drying and affecting the quality of the final product. After that, the motor 51 drives the first gear 52 to rotate, and when the first gear 52 rotates, it drives the third gear 55 to rotate, and when the third gear 55 rotates, it drives the second gear 54 to rotate, and when the second gear 54 rotates, the rotating seat 53 rotates, and when the rotating seat 53 rotates, the screw rod 56 moves up and down, and the screw rod 56 drives the fixing frame 57 to move up and down, thereby driving the push plate 58 to move up and down. A plurality of evenly distributed forming holes are provided on the upper side of the forming plate 59, and the material will be squeezed into a cylindrical shape through the forming holes. There is a convex block on the inner side of the third gear 55, which is slidably connected in the slide groove, so that when the third gear 55 rotates, it drives the rotating rod 510 to rotate, and when the rotating rod 510 rotates, it drives the push plate 58 to rotate. When the push plate 58 rotates, it drives the transmission rod 512 to rotate. When the transmission rod 512 rotates, it drives the cutting knife seat 511 to rotate. Two cutting knives are arranged on the outer side of the cutting knife seat 511. When the cutting knife seat 511 rotates, it drives the cutting knives to rotate, so that the cutting knives cut the cylindrical material to make it granular. The rotating seat 53 is driven to rotate by the motor 51, so that the screw rod 56 pushes the push plate 58 to move downward, so that the material on the lower side of the push plate 58 is extruded from the forming hole on the forming plate 59. The motor 51 drives the push plate 58 to rotate, so that the push plate 58 drives the cutting knife seat 511, so that the cutting knife seat 511 drives the cutting knife thereon to cut the extruded material to form a granular product.
