When adding materials, the operator opens the feed door 104, and then adds the cat litter and materials to be processed into the interior of the mixing mechanism shell 1 through the feed shell 103. The reverse stirring component 2 includes a motor 201 and a connecting rod 202. One side of the motor 201 is fixedly connected to one side of the mixing mechanism shell 1, and one side of the connecting rod 202 is fixedly connected to one side of the mixing mechanism shell 1. The output end of the motor 201 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 203.

[0028] The outside of the rotating rod 203 is rotatably connected to the inside of the mixing mechanism housing 1, and a first bevel gear 204 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 203. The rotating rod 203 is driven to rotate inside the mixing mechanism housing 1 through the output end of the motor 201, so that the rotating rod 203 drives the first bevel gear 204 to rotate.

[0029] The first bevel gear 204 is externally meshed with a second bevel gear 205, and the second bevel gear 205 is internally fixedly connected with a rotating shaft 206. The first bevel gear 204 drives the second bevel gear 205 to rotate, so that the second bevel gear 205 drives the rotating shaft 206 to rotate inside the mixing mechanism housing 1.

[0030] The outside of the rotating shaft 206 is rotatably connected to the inside of the mixing mechanism shell 1, and a plurality of first mixing rods 207 are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 206. The first mixing rods 207 are driven to rotate by the rotation of the rotating shaft 206, so that the cat litter and the material are stirred inside the mixing mechanism shell 1, thereby mixing the cat litter.

[0033] A third bevel gear 210 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating cylinder 209, and the outside of the third bevel gear 210 is meshed with the outside of the first bevel gear 204. The third bevel gear 210 is driven to rotate by the rotation of the first bevel gear 204, so that the third bevel gear 210 drives the rotating cylinder 209 to rotate inside the fixed ring 208. Because the third bevel gear 210 and the second bevel gear 205 are symmetrically distributed, when the first bevel gear 204 rotates, the rotation directions of the third bevel gear 210 and the second bevel gear 205 are opposite. Furthermore, a protective shell needs to be covered on the outside of the three gears, and the protective shell is fixed to the fixed ring 208. The rotating rod 203 and the rotating shaft 206 are rotatably connected thereto, and the connection is sealed. Placing cat litter affects the transmission. This part has a simple structure and mature technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] A connecting ring 211 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating cylinder 209, and three second mixing rods 212 are fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting ring 211. The connecting ring 211 is driven by the rotating cylinder 209 to rotate, so that the connecting ring 211 drives the second mixing rods 212 to rotate to mix the cat litter. At this time, the second mixing rod 212 and the first mixing rod 207 rotate in opposite directions, so that the cat litter can be fully mixed, thereby improving the working efficiency of the automatic mixing mechanism.

[0035] The collecting assembly 3 includes a collecting box 301, the outside of which overlaps one side of the four fixed columns 101. Two collecting holes are opened on one side of the collecting box 301. The two collecting holes are located below the two discharge pipes 102. When the discharge pipes 102 discharge materials, they enter the interior of the collecting box 301 through the collecting holes.

[0036] A door panel 302 is hinged on one side of the collection box 301. Two round rods 303 are fixedly connected to one side of the collection box 301. The outside of the two round rods 303 is rotatably connected to a closing disk 304. When collecting cat litter, the two closing disks 304 are rotated to one side to expose the collection hole. When the mixed cat litter is collected into the collection box 301, the operator seals the collection hole by rotating the closing disk 304. When taking out the cat litter, the operator can open the door panel 302 to take out the processed cat litter.

[0037] The motor 201 and the like appearing in the utility model are all connected to the external main controller and 220V AC power through a transformer, and the main controller can be a conventional known device that controls a computer, etc. The electrical components provided by the utility model are only used for the technical solution according to the structural characteristics of the product.

[0038] Embodiment 2: A cleaning component can be provided on the basis of Embodiment 1, and the inside of the automatic mixing mechanism can be cleaned by the cleaning component, without the need for operators to clean the inside of the automatic mixing mechanism, which is beneficial to reducing the labor intensity of operators.

[0039] In the present invention, the operator opens the feed door 104, and then adds the cat litter and materials to be processed into the interior of the mixing mechanism housing 1 through the feed shell 103. The reverse stirring component 2 drives the rotating rod 203 to rotate inside the mixing mechanism housing 1 through the output end of the motor 201, so that the rotating rod 203 drives the first bevel gear 204 to rotate, and the first bevel gear 204 drives the second bevel gear 205 to rotate, so that the second bevel gear 205 drives the rotating shaft 206 to rotate inside the mixing mechanism housing 1, and the rotating shaft 206 rotates to drive the first mixing rod 207 to rotate. The cat litter and the material are mixed inside the mixing mechanism housing 1 by the first bevel gear 204, and the cat litter is mixed by the third bevel gear 210. The third bevel gear 210 drives the rotating cylinder 209 to rotate inside the fixed ring 208. Because the third bevel gear 210 and the second bevel gear 205 are symmetrically distributed, when the first bevel gear 204 rotates, the third bevel gear 210 and the second bevel gear 205 rotate in opposite directions. The connecting ring 211 is driven to rotate by the rotating cylinder 209, so that the connecting ring 211 drives the rotating cylinder 209 to rotate. The second mixing rod 212 rotates to mix the cat litter. At this time, the second mixing rod 212 and the first mixing rod 207 rotate in opposite directions, so that the cat litter can be fully mixed, thereby improving the working efficiency of the automatic mixing mechanism. After the cat litter mixing work is completed, the operator opens the discharge pipe 102 to allow the cat litter to enter the collection box 301 through the discharge pipe 102. When collecting the cat litter, the two closing plates 304 rotate to one side to expose the collection holes. When the cat litter with mixed materials is collected in the collection box 301, the operator rotates the closing plates 304 to collect the collected litter. The collecting hole is sealed, and when taking out the cat litter, the operator can open the door panel 302 to take out the processed cat litter. The cat litter can be fully mixed by the reverse stirring component 2, which improves the mixing efficiency of the cat litter and solves the problem of low working efficiency of the automatic mixing mechanism when mixing the cat litter, which is beneficial to improving the working efficiency of the mixing mechanism. The collecting component 3 can also be used to seal the cat litter after it is collected to prevent other debris from affecting the quality of the cat litter, which solves the problem of the automatic mixing mechanism not sealing the cat litter after collecting the mixed cat litter, which is beneficial to improving the practical performance of the automatic mixing mechanism.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
