DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.

[0033] The present application embodiment discloses a pet food baking rack. Figure 1 A pet food baking rack includes a frame 1, a lifting device 2 installed on the frame 1 for placing pet food to be dried, and a universal wheel 3 installed on the side of the frame 1 close to the ground. The frame 1 includes a bottom plate 11, four vertically arranged support columns 12 fixedly connected to the bottom plate 11, and two columns 13 fixedly connected to the bottom plate 11 and arranged opposite to each other. The column 13 is located between two adjacent support columns 12. A plurality of lifting devices 2 are provided. This application takes two lifting devices 2 as an example for explanation.

[0034] The lifting device 2 includes a discharge frame 21 hinged between two columns 13 and a mounting rod 22 slidably connected to the support column 12 for controlling the rotation of the discharge frame 21 around its hinge axis. Two mounting rods 22 are relatively arranged. The mounting rods 22 are hinged to the side of the discharge frame 21 close to the column 13 and the mounting rods 22 are located at one end of the discharge frame 21 close to the support column 12. Three discharge frames 21 are arranged at intervals, and the three discharge frames 21 are all hinged to the mounting rods 22.

[0035] During use, the staff places the grid containing the pet food to be dried on the feeding frame 21, and then moves the mounting rod 22 to rotate the three feeding frames 21 hinged on the mounting rod 22 from the horizontal position to an angle suitable for drying processing, thereby rotating the pet food to be dried placed on the feeding frame 21, and then the staff pushes the rack 1 into the drying room. Since the pet food to be dried is rotated by a certain angle from the horizontal position, the straight-line distance between the pet food to be dried and the heat source in the drying room is shortened, and the direct contact area with the heat source is larger, thereby increasing the drying rate of the pet food and making the pet food heated more evenly, reducing the possibility of the pet food being baked for too long, the pet food being cracked around and the middle not meeting the drying requirements, and improving the drying efficiency of the pet food.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lifting device 2 includes a pull rod 23 fixedly connected to the side of the mounting rod 22 away from the column 13 and a positioning member 24 for fixing the relative position of the mounting rod 22 and the support column 12. The pull rod 23 is vertically fixed to the mounting rod 22. The support column 12 is provided with a slide groove 14 for the pull rod 23 to move. The slide groove 14 is arranged along the length direction of the support column 12. A plurality of connecting holes 15 for inserting the positioning member 24 are spaced apart on the side walls of the support column 12 that are perpendicular to the length direction of the pull rod 23. The positioning member 24 includes a screw 241 and a nut 242 fixedly connected to one end of the screw 241.

[0037] When in use, after the staff installs the grid containing the pet food to be dried on the discharge frame 21, the staff holds the pull rod 23 and moves the pull rod 23. The pull rod 23 drives the installation rod 22 to move, so that the inclination angle of the discharge frame 21 hinged on the installation rod 22 and the column 13 changes. When it moves to the appropriate position, the staff inserts the positioning piece 24 into the connecting hole 15 closest to the pull rod 23 below the pull rod 23, and the nut 242 abuts against the support column 12 on the side close to the support column 12, and the pull rod 23 abuts against the screw 241 on the side close to the ground, thereby fixing the position of the pull rod 23 in the slide groove 14, so that the inclination angle of the discharge frame 21 is fixed.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 The material discharging frame 21 includes a first connecting rod 211 hinged on each column 13, a second connecting rod 212 slidably connected between the two first connecting rods 211, and a fixing member 213 for fixing the relative position of the second connecting rod 212 and the first connecting rod 211. The first connecting rod 211 and the second connecting rod 212 are vertically arranged, and a slider 214 is arranged at one end of the second connecting rod 212 close to the first connecting rod 211. The opposite sides of the two first connecting rods 211 are provided with a moving groove 215 for the slider 214 to slide, and the slider 214 is a T-block.

[0039] When in use, the staff moves the second connecting rod 212 according to the size of the grid rack containing the pet food to be dried, adjusts the relative position of the second connecting rod 212 and the first connecting rod 211, and then the staff fixes the position of the second connecting rod 212 by operating the fixing piece 213, thereby completing the adjustment of the size of the discharge frame 21, so that the discharge frame 21 can be suitable for the placement of grid racks of different sizes. At the same time, when the staff operates the pull rod 23 to tilt the discharge frame 21, the grid rack placed on the discharge frame 21 tilts accordingly, and the side wall of the grid rack abuts against the second connecting rod 212. The staff can change the position of the grid rack on the discharge frame 21 by adjusting the position of the second connecting rod 212. When the grid rack containing the pet food to be dried is small, the staff can adjust the position of the second connecting rod 212 to make the grid racks placed on two adjacent discharge frames 21 staggered, thereby increasing the distance between the two adjacent grid racks, increasing the contact area between the grid rack and the heat source, and improving the drying efficiency.

[0040] In order to make the position of the net rack containing the pet food to be dried on the discharging frame 21 more stable, the two first connecting rods 211 are fixedly connected to a supporting plate 216 on one side close to the ground.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 There are multiple fixing members 213, and the fixing members 213 include a connecting plate 2131 and two connecting columns 2132 fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 2131. The two connecting columns 2132 are located on the same surface of the connecting plate 2131. A plurality of sockets for inserting the connecting columns 2132 are spaced apart on opposite sides of the two first connecting rods 211. The sockets are arranged opposite to each other in pairs. The two oppositely arranged sockets are respectively located on both sides of the movable groove 215, and are symmetrical with each other with the movable groove 215 as the axis.

[0042] When in use, after the staff adjusts the position of the second connecting rod 212, the staff holds the connecting plate 2131 and inserts the connecting column 2132 into the socket. At this time, the side wall of the connecting plate 2131 abuts against the side of the second connecting rod 212 away from the pull rod 23. In order to further fix the relative position of the second connecting rod 212 and the first connecting rod 211, the fixing part 213 is also inserted into the side of the second connecting rod 212 close to the pull rod 23, so that the position of the second connecting rod 212 is more secure.

[0043] Reference Figure 4 In order to reduce the possibility of the connecting column 2132 slipping out of the socket when the staff pushes the frame 1 to move or is affected by other external forces, the connecting column 2132 is fixedly connected to one end away from the connecting plate 2131 with a snap-in ball 2133. The contact surface between the snap-in ball 2133 and the connecting column 2132 is a horizontal plane. The snap-in ball 2133 is made of elastic material, and the diameter of the snap-in ball 2133 is slightly larger than the diameter of the socket.

[0044] When in use, the staff holds the connecting plate 2131 and inserts the connecting column 2132 into the socket. At this time, the locking ball 2133 is located in the socket. When the staff needs to adjust the position of the second connecting rod 212, it is necessary to apply a certain force to pull the fixing member 213 out of the socket, so that the position of the fixing member 213 on the first connecting rod 211 is more secure.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 When the pet food is baked to a certain degree, the surface of the pet food may become brittle and fall off. The staff needs to clean up the residue on the ground regularly. If the pet food is greasy such as meat, it will make it more difficult for the staff to clean up, which is not conducive to the staff's cleaning work. In order to facilitate the staff to clean up, a material receiving box 4 for receiving the scraps is also installed on the frame 1. The material receiving box 4 is placed on the side of the bottom plate 11 away from the ground. When in use, the material receiving box 4 collects the residues that fall during the drying process. After the drying is completed, the staff removes the material receiving box 4 from the bottom plate 11 and pours out the residues contained therein.

[0046] The implementation principle of a pet food baking rack in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: when in use, the staff adjusts the relative position of the second connecting rod 212 and the first connecting rod 211 according to the size of the grid containing the pet food to be dried, and fixes them through the fixing piece 213 after the adjustment. Then the staff holds the pull rod 23 as needed, moves the pull rod 23 in the slide groove 14, and adjusts the inclination angle of the discharge frame 21. When the pull rod 23 moves to a suitable position, the staff inserts the positioning piece 24 into the connecting hole 15 to fix the position of the pull rod 23. Since the discharge frame 21 is tilted, the area of ​​direct contact between the grid placed on the discharge frame 21 and the heat source in the drying room is increased, which is beneficial to the baking of the pet food located in the center of the grid, thereby shortening the baking time of the pet food in the middle of the grid, and improving the baking efficiency of the pet food.

[0047] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
