[0018] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0019] The cat litter impurity removal device of the utility model is as follows Figure 1 and 2 As shown, it includes an open material hopper 1, a screen 3, and a bracket 4;
[0020] Open material hopper 1 Figure 3 As shown, it is a bucket shape with an open top, and the cat litter discharge conveyor belt is on the top, which can receive the cat litter material. The discharge port 2 is set at the bottom of the open material bucket 1; it is used to discharge cat litter of normal size. There is a screen 3 in the open material bucket 1, and the screen 3 is tilted. The tofu cat litter material falls on the screen 3, generating vibration. At the same time, under the action of gravity, the material slides from a high place to a low place. The agglomerated cat litter and some larger dough will naturally slide to the bottom. The cat litter of normal size will fall from the gap of the screen 3 to the discharge port 2. Clean the agglomerated cat litter at the bottom of the screen 3 regularly, and lift the handles 33 on both sides of the screen 3 to clean the cat litter material on the inner wall of the carrier.
[0021] The screen 3 is placed on the guide baffle 5, which includes an upper baffle 51 and a lower baffle 52. The upper baffle 51 and the lower baffle 52 are fixed on the opposite side walls of the open material hopper 1. The upper baffle 51 and the lower baffle 52 are parallel to the horizontal plane, and the height of the upper baffle 51 is higher than that of the lower baffle 52.
[0022] The upper surfaces of the upper baffle bar 51 and the lower baffle bar 52 are inclined downward to prevent materials from piling up on the baffle bars and ensure screening efficiency.
[0023] Screen 3 Figure 4 As shown, it includes a screen bar fixing frame 32 and a plurality of screen bars 31. The screen bar fixing frame 32 has holes for inserting the screen bars 31. The screen bars 31 are parallel to each other, and the spacing between the screen bars 31 is 0.5-1.5 cm; the agglomerated tofu cat litter can be retained above the screen 3.
[0024] The cross section of the screen bar 31 is circular and made of stainless steel; stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and has a smooth surface that helps materials slide.
[0025] A handle 33 is fixedly mounted on the screen bar fixing frame 32, which is convenient for operators to disassemble and clean the screen 3. The handle 33 is connected to the screen bar fixing frame 32 by welding or a fixing clamp to ensure the stability of the screen 3 during operation.
[0026] The open material hopper 1 is fixedly mounted on a bracket 4, which includes a crossbeam and a support rod. The crossbeam is fixedly connected to the open material hopper 1, and both ends of the crossbeam are fixed to the top of the support rod. The bracket 4 can support the open material hopper 1 and provide a suitable height for the discharge port 2, so as to facilitate the installation of transfer devices such as conveyor belts under the discharge port 2 to cooperate with the automated assembly line.
[0027] The utility model is a device specially used to improve the quality control in the cat litter production process. The working principle is as follows:
[0028] 1. Material input: cat litter material enters the open material hopper 1 through the discharge conveyor belt of the drying equipment;
[0029] 2. Screening process: The screen 3 in the material hopper is tilted, and the material slides from high to low under the action of gravity and falling vibration: Since the screen 3 has screen bars 31 with a certain spacing, normal-sized cat litter particles can fall through the gaps of the screen 3, while larger lumps and impurities are intercepted by the screen 3;
[0030] 3. Agglomeration cleaning: regularly lift the screen 3 through the handles 33 on both sides of the screen 3 to clean the agglomerated cat litter intercepted at the bottom of the screen 3 to keep the screen 3 unobstructed and efficient;
[0031] 4. Material output: The qualified cat litter after screening is discharged through the discharge port 2 and can be further transported to packaging or other post-processing processes;
[0032] 5. Automation coordination: The bracket 4 of the device is designed to coordinate with the automated assembly line, making it easy to integrate into a larger production system.
[0033] The modularity of the utility model has extremely high flexibility, allowing the user to quickly and conveniently replace the screen 3 or other key components according to specific production needs, thereby significantly improving production efficiency and adaptability.
[0034] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it is still possible for a person skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or to replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions claimed to be protected by the present invention.
