[0023] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the full text.

[0024] Combined with Figure 1-Figure 3 A powder flavor adding device includes a buffer hopper 1 and a material box 2. The buffer hopper 1 is equipped with a material adding mechanism 3 for conveying the material in the material box 2 to the buffer hopper 1. Specifically, the material in the material box 2 is conveyed to the buffer hopper 1 through the material adding mechanism, and the powder material can be controlled to enter the buffer hopper 1 and then enter the finished cat litter, which saves time and labor and does not require manual labor.

[0025] When the utility model is implemented, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the material adding mechanism 3 includes an adding box 4 connected to the buffer hopper 1 and a silo 5 in the adding box 4, a pneumatic switch door 6 is installed between the adding box 4 and the buffer hopper 1, a filter device 8 is installed in the adding box 4 and on the buffer hopper 1, and a vacuum emitter 7 for evacuating the material box 2 is installed at the upper end of the adding box 4. The vacuum emitter 7 is a prior art, and the inside of the adding box 4 can be evacuated by the vacuum emitter 7, and then the material in the material box 2 is transported to the silo 5 through the suction pipe 9. The compressed air is used to generate a high vacuum through the vacuum emitter 7 to realize the transportation of the material, and a mechanical vacuum pump is not required. It has the advantages of simple structure, small size, maintenance-free, low noise, convenient control, elimination of material static electricity and compliance with GMP requirements. The high vacuum generated by the vacuum emitter 7 eliminates the stratification phenomenon of the transported material and ensures the uniformity of the components of the mixed material. A suction pipe 9 is connected between the material box 2 and the silo 5, and a pressure feeding device 10 is installed between the filter device 8 and the buffer hopper 1.

[0026] When the utility model is implemented, Figure 2The filter device 8 includes a filter screen 801 disposed in the adding box 4 and a breathable filter cotton 802 at the lower end of the filter screen 801. The breathable filter cotton 802 and the filter screen 801 play a filtering and ventilation role. The powdered essence is granular and cannot pass through the breathable filter cotton 802 and the filter screen 801, but the gas can pass through the breathable filter cotton 802 and the filter screen 801. When the vacuum emitter 7 generates a high vacuum, the gas can flow.

[0027] When the utility model is implemented, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the pressure feeding device 10 includes a gas conveying ring 11 arranged in the addition box 4, and a plurality of air outlet pipes 12 are connected under the gas conveying ring 11. A compressed air inlet pipe 13 is connected to one side of the gas conveying ring 11, and the compressed air inlet pipe 13 extends to the outside of the addition box 4. A regulating valve 14 is installed on the outside of the compressed air inlet pipe 13 to adjust the compressed air pressure and weigh its spraying amount with a metering scale, so as to control the powder material to enter the buffer bucket 1 and then enter the cat litter product. The compressed air inlet pipe 13 is connected to the external compressed air, and the compressed air is regulated by the regulating valve 14 and enters the gas conveying ring 11 through the compressed air inlet pipe 13. At the same time, the pneumatic switch door 6 is opened, so that the addition box 4 and the buffer bucket 1 are connected, and then the powder essence is blown downward through the air outlet pipe 12 and enters the buffer bucket 1 through the pneumatic switch door 6.

[0028] When the utility model is implemented, Figure 3 As shown, the upper end of the gas delivery ring 11 is connected to an angle change tube 15 and the angle change tube 15 passes through the filter device 8, and the air outlet of the angle change tube 15 faces the filter screen 801. The compressed air of the gas delivery ring 11 can also change the direction of the compressed air through the angle change tube 15, so that the compressed air blows the filter device 8 from top to bottom, blowing the powder of the breathable filter cotton 802 and the filter screen 801, thereby achieving a cleaning and backblowing effect.

[0029] A support frame 101 is installed at the lower end of the buffer bucket 1 , and the material box 2 is installed on the support frame 101 .

[0031] The vacuum generator 7 generates negative pressure to form a vacuum airflow, the pneumatic switch door 6 is closed, and the material is sucked into the suction pipe 9 to form a material airflow, which passes through the suction pipe 9 to reach the hopper 5 of the feeder. The filter device 8 completely separates the material from the air, the controller automatically cuts off the air source, the vacuum generator 7 stops working, and the pneumatic switch door 6 is opened at the same time. The compressed air is regulated by the regulating valve 14 and enters the gas conveying ring 11 through the compressed air inlet pipe 13. At the same time, the pneumatic switch door 6 is opened, so that the addition box 4 and the buffer bucket 1 are connected, and then the powder essence is blown downward through the outlet pipe 12 and enters the buffer bucket 1 through the pneumatic switch door 6.
