[0025] Please refer to Figure 1-4 As shown, a drying device for processing pet food comprises a drying box 1, a circulating feeding mechanism is arranged on one side of the box body of the drying box 1 along the direction of its feed inlet, the circulating feeding mechanism comprises two sets of guide rail frames 2 arranged in a symmetrical form in pairs along the direction of the feed inlet of the drying box 1, the inner slide rail of the guide rail frame 2 is slidably connected to a first carrier frame 3, and the outer slide rail of the guide rail frame 2 is slidably connected to a second carrier frame 4, the bottom frame corner end of the first carrier frame 3 is provided with a first guide wheel 31 guided by the inner slide rail of the guide rail frame 2, and the bottom frame corner end of the second carrier frame 4 is provided with a first guide wheel 31 guided by the outer slide rail of the guide rail frame 2 The second guide wheel 41 guided by the rail utilizes the rail sliding of the first carrier 3, the second carrier 4 and the guide frame 2 to push the two groups of carriers into the air drying box 1 in a reciprocating staggered cycle. Then, when the pet food on one group of carriers is air-dried and pushed out, the pet food on the other group of carriers can be pushed in synchronously for air drying. While air drying, the gaps between air drying can be used as a place for staff to take out the air-dried pet food and place new food. In this way, the pet food can be air dried continuously without stagnation.
[0026] The upper ends of the first carrier frame 3 and the second carrier frame 4 are both provided with air-drying plate assemblies 5 that are adapted to the size of their frames. The air-drying plate assembly 5 includes a water collecting plate 51 and a plurality of groups of air-drying plates 52 arranged and placed on the upper ends of the water collecting plate 51. The bottom corner ends of the bottom frame of each group of air-drying plates 52 are provided with guide pins 53. The inner plate of the water collecting plate 51 is provided with guide sleeves 54 that are arranged one by one with the guide pins 53. When the air-drying device is used to dry the pet food, the pet food to be dried is placed in the air-drying plate 52 in turn, and then the guide pins 53 correspond to the buckles of the guide sleeves 54, and the air-drying plate 52 is buckled and placed above the water collecting plate 51 in turn, and the overall structure is placed on the first carrier frame 3 or the second carrier frame 4, and the carrier frame containing the pet food is pushed into the air-drying box 1 for air-drying.
[0027] The bottom of the water collecting tray 51 is an inclined structure, and a drain valve 55 is installed on one side of the tray body of the water collecting tray 51 along its inclined direction. By utilizing the water collecting performance of the water collecting tray 51, the water and oil stains generated by air drying are collected to prevent dripping into the air drying box 1. Subsequently, the drain valve 55 switch can be opened to perform integrated drainage and cleaning processing.
[0028] A plurality of groups of heating tubes 9 are arranged and installed on the inner walls on both sides of the chamber of the air-drying box 1, and an exhaust fan 8 is symmetrically installed on the top of the chamber of the air-drying box 1. Ventilation windows 6 opposite to the heating tubes 9 are installed on both sides of the box body of the air-drying box 1, and an exhaust duct 7 opposite to the exhaust fan 8 is installed on the upper end of the box body of the air-drying box 1. The exhaust fan 8 operates to circulate and extract the air in the air-drying box 1, so that the air in the air-drying box 1 maintains a dynamic circulation state, and then the outside air enters through the ventilation window 6, and circulates into the air-drying box 1 under the heating of the heating tube 9, so that the pet food in the air-drying box 1 is dynamically circulated, heated and air-dried.
[0029] A purification mesh plate 71 is installed at the pipe mouth end of the exhaust air duct 7. The number of filters in the purification mesh plate 71 is two groups, and the two groups of filters are stainless steel filters and activated carbon filter sponges from the inside to the outside of the exhaust air duct 7. When the exhaust fan 8 circulates, the heated exhaust gas is circulated and discharged through the exhaust air duct 7. At the same time, the purification mesh plate 71 composed of stainless steel filters and activated carbon filter sponges is used to isolate and adsorb oil and odor in the air to reduce air pollution on site.
[0030] The opening of the air-drying box 1 is connected to an opening and closing door 10, and both sides of the opening of the air-drying box 1 are connected to an opening and closing electric push rod 11 connected to the opening and closing door 10. Each time the drying work is performed, the opening and closing electric push rod 11 is used to push the opening and closing door 10 to open and close, thereby closing the opening of the air-drying box 1 and reducing the loss of heat.
[0031] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when the air drying device is used to dry pet food, the pet food to be dried is sequentially placed on the air drying plate 52 of the air drying plate assembly 5, and then the entire structure is placed on the first carrier 3 or the second carrier 4, and the guide rail frame 2 is used as a slide rail to push the carrier containing the pet food into the air drying box 1 for drying;
[0032] After the pet food is pushed into the air drying box 1, the exhaust fan 8 and the heating tube 9 are controlled to work synchronously, and the exhaust fan 8 is used to drive the dynamic flow of air inside the air drying box 1, so that the hot air heated by the heating tube 9 circulates, so as to perform efficient and comprehensive heating and air drying work on the pet food;
[0033] While the pet food is air-drying, the staff can spread the pet food on another set of air-drying plate assemblies 5 and place them on another set of supporting racks. While the pet food in the air-drying box 1 is dried and pushed out, the pet food on the other set of supporting racks is simultaneously pushed into the air-drying box 1 for air-drying. The staff then takes out the air-dried pet food and places new food. In this way, the pet food can be air-dried continuously without stagnation, and the air-drying efficiency is higher.
[0034] The above shows and describes the basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected. The scope of protection claimed by the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
