Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pet food processing equipment, and specifically relates to a pet food processing system integrated with a mixing device. Background Art
[0002] With the improvement of living standards, pets have become an important part of people's families, such as dogs and cats. To raise pets healthily, fresh meat freeze-dried products are added to the main food in existing pet food, greatly improving the palatability and nutrition of the main food. Therefore, existing pet food processing systems are usually used to process various raw materials. The processing system includes a main food transmission device, a freeze-dried transmission device arranged on the machine body, and a mixing device respectively communicated with the main food transmission device and the freeze-dried transmission device. The main food and the freeze-dried products are respectively transmitted to the mixing device through the main food transmission device and the freeze-dried transmission device, and the freeze-dried products and the main food are mixed by using the mixing function of the mixing device.
[0003] In the prior art, the mixing device includes a cylinder body, a rotating roller rotatably connected in the cylinder body, and a plurality of stirring rods connected to the rotating roller. The lengths of the plurality of stirring rods are the same, and the plurality of stirring rods are straight rod-shaped bodies. The rotating roller drives the plurality of stirring rods to rotate synchronously, so as to mix the freeze-dried products and the main food.
[0004] However, since the weights of the main food and the freeze-dried products are inconsistent, during the transmission process, the transmission speed of the main food will be faster than that of the freeze-dried products, which easily causes the main food and the freeze-dried products to be in a state of upper and lower stratification in the cylinder body. Usually, most of the main food is below the freeze-dried products. Since the lengths of the existing plurality of stirring rods are the same and the plurality of stirring rods are straight rod-shaped bodies, it is difficult for the main food below to be fully mixed with the freeze-dried products above, resulting in uneven mixing of the main food and the freeze-dried products. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] Based on this, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a pet food processing system integrated with a mixing device, so as to solve the technical problem that the existing mixing method of freeze-dried products and main food in the background art is prone to uneven mixing of the main food and the freeze-dried products.
[0006] The present utility model provides a pet food processing system integrated with a mixing device. The food processing system includes a main food transmission device and a freeze-dried transmission device arranged on the machine body. The main food transmission device and the freeze-dried transmission device are respectively used for transmitting two different types of target materials. The mixing device is arranged on the machine body and is respectively communicated with the main food transmission device and the freeze-dried transmission device;
[0007] The mixing device includes a cylinder body, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the cylinder body, and at least two stirring members provided on the rotating shaft. The length dimension of one of the two stirring members is smaller than that of the other stirring member, so that when the rotating shaft rotates, one stirring member drives the target material located in the middle of the cylinder body to move, and the other stirring member drives the target material located at the bottom of the cylinder body to move;
[0008] Wherein, the two stirring members are respectively arranged on opposite edges of the rotating shaft, so that an activity space for the movement of the target material is formed between one stirring member and an adjacent stirring member.
[0009] Further, the mixing device further includes a driving member, which is connected to the rotating shaft and used to drive the rotating shaft to rotate.
[0010] Further, the driving member is arranged outside the cylinder body.
[0011] Further, the mixing device includes at least one first stirring member and at least one second stirring member;
[0012] Wherein, the length dimension of any one of the first stirring member and the second stirring member is smaller than that of the other.
[0013] Further, the length dimension of the first stirring member is smaller than that of the second stirring member.
[0014] Further, the first stirring member includes a first connecting portion and a first arc portion. One end of the first connecting portion is connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end is connected to the first arc portion;
[0015] Wherein, the axial length of the first connecting portion is the same as the axial length of the rotating shaft.

[0020] Further, the mixing device further includes a transfer bin, one end of the transfer bin is communicated with the cylinder body, and the other end is directly opposite to the discharge port of the main grain transmission device and the discharge port of the freeze-dried transmission device.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0022] In the pet food processing system with an integrated mixing device provided by the present utility model, by arranging at least two stirring members with inconsistent sizes in the mixing device, when the rotating shaft rotates, at least two stirring members perform synchronous movement, and by using the size difference between the two stirring members, the small-sized stirring member can move the target material in the middle of the cylinder body, and the large-sized stirring member can move the target material at the bottom of the cylinder body, that is, the small-sized stirring member drives the freeze-dried material above the main grain to move. When the small-sized stirring member moves to a certain extent, the freeze-dried material will fall downward in a free-falling state. At the same time, the large-sized stirring member drives the main grain at the bottom to move.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of the present utility model are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present utility model. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.
[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4, shown is a pet food processing system of an integrated mixing device in an embodiment of the present utility model. The food processing system includes a main food transmission device 200 and a freeze-dried food transmission device 300 provided on a machine body 100. The main food transmission device 200 and the freeze-dried food transmission device 300 are respectively used to transmit two different types of target materials. The mixing device 400 is provided on the machine body 100 and is respectively communicated with the main food transmission device 200 and the freeze-dried food transmission device 300. It should be noted that the food processing system is not limited to the main food transmission device 200, the freeze-dried food transmission device 300 and the mixing device 400 in this embodiment. It may also include other devices. And it should be noted that the main food transmission device 200 and the freeze-dried food transmission device 300 can be respectively used to transmit different types of target materials. For example, the main food transmission device 200 can be used to transmit main food, and the freeze-dried food transmission device 300 can be used to transmit freeze-dried food. The freeze-dried food can be a single variety of freeze-dried food or a mixture of multiple types of freeze-dried food. Since the main food transmission device 200 and the freeze-dried food transmission device 300 in this embodiment belong to the conventional prior art in this field, no special description will be made here.
[0032] To facilitate the full mixing of the freeze-dried food and the main food, in this embodiment, the mixing device 400 includes a cylinder body 410, a rotating shaft 420 rotatably connected inside the cylinder body 410, and at least two stirring members provided on the rotating shaft 420. The length dimension of one of the two stirring members is smaller than that of the other stirring member, so that when the rotating shaft 420 rotates, one stirring member drives the target material located in the middle of the cylinder body 410 to move, and the other stirring member drives the target material located at the bottom of the cylinder body 410 to move;
[0033] Among them, the two stirring members are respectively provided on the opposite two edges of the rotating shaft 420, so that an activity space for the target material to move is formed between one stirring member and an adjacent stirring member.
[0034] That is, by rotating the rotating shaft 420, at least two stirring members are synchronously moved, and by utilizing the dimensional difference between the two stirring members, the stirring member with a smaller size can move the target material in the middle of the cylinder 410, and the stirring member with a larger size can move the target material at the bottom of the cylinder 410. In actual situations, the stirring member with a smaller size drives the freeze-dried food above the staple food to move. When the stirring member with a smaller size moves to a certain extent, the freeze-dried food will fall downward in a free-falling state. At the same time, the stirring member with a larger size will drive the staple food at the bottom to move. When the rotating shaft moves to a certain extent, the freeze-dried food is below, and part of the staple food will be above the freeze-dried food. That is, by continuously rotating the rotating shaft 420, the staple food and the freeze-dried food are cyclically and alternately turned over, so that the staple food at the bottom can be fully mixed with the freeze-dried food above the staple food. Compared with the prior art in which a plurality of stirring rods with the same length are used for stirring, in this embodiment, at least two stirring members with different lengths are adopted, and the freeze-dried food in the middle can be moved to the bottom of the cylinder 410, and the staple food at the bottom of the cylinder 410 will be moved to the middle of the cylinder 410, thereby solving the technical problem of uneven mixing of staple food and freeze-dried food in the prior art.
[0035] To further understand this case, in this embodiment, the mixing device 400 includes at least one first stirring member 430 and at least one second stirring member 440. Among them, the length dimension of any one of the first stirring member 430 and the second stirring member 440 is smaller than that of the other. It should be noted that the first stirring member 430 and the second stirring member 440 do not limit the number of stirring members, and other numbers of stirring members can also be adopted.
[0036] Specifically, the length dimension of the first stirring member 430 is smaller than that of the second stirring member 440. And for the convenience of driving the freeze-dried food or the staple food to move, in this embodiment, the first stirring member 430 includes a first connecting portion 431 and a first arc portion 432. One end of the first connecting portion 431 is connected to the rotating shaft 420, and the other end is connected to the first arc portion 432; among them, the axial length of the first connecting portion 431 is the same as the axial length of the rotating shaft 420.
[0037] The second stirring member 440 includes a second connecting portion 441 and a second arc portion 442. One end of the second connecting portion 441 is connected to the rotating shaft 420, and the other end is connected to the second arc portion 442. Among them, the axial length of the second connecting portion 441 is the same as the axial length of the rotating shaft 420, and the longitudinal length of the first connecting portion 431 is smaller than the longitudinal length of the second connecting portion 441.
[0038] That is, by limiting the axial lengths of the first connecting portion 431 and the second connecting portion 441, the first arc portion 432 and the second arc portion 442 can drive the freeze-dried food or the staple food at any part in the cylinder body 410 to move and turn. And in some preferred embodiments, both the first connecting portion 431 and the second connecting portion 441 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 420, and the cross-sectional dimensions of the first arc portion 432 are the same as those of the second arc portion 442.
[0039] In addition, for facilitating the driving of the rotation of the rotating shaft 420, in this embodiment, the mixing device 400 further includes a driving member 450. The driving member 450 is connected to the rotating shaft 420 and is used for driving the rotating shaft 420 to rotate. Specifically, the driving member 450 is arranged outside the cylinder body 410, and the driving member 450 can adopt a motor in the technology.
[0040] Furthermore, for facilitating the transmission of the freeze-dried food and the staple food into the cylinder body 410, in some preferred embodiments, the mixing device 400 further includes a material transfer bin 500. One end of the material transfer bin 500 is communicated with the cylinder body 410, and the other end is directly opposite to the discharge port of the staple food transmission device 200 and the discharge port of the freeze-dried food transmission device 300.
[0041] In summary, in a pet food processing system with an integrated mixing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, compared with the prior art in the mixing method of the freeze-dried food and the staple food, there are at least the following beneficial effects:
[0042] In the pet food processing system with the integrated mixing device provided by the present invention, by rotating the rotating shaft 420, at least two stirring members perform synchronous movement, and by using the dimensional difference between the two stirring members, the small-sized stirring member can drive the target material in the middle of the cylinder body 410 to move, while the large-sized stirring member can drive the target material at the bottom of the cylinder body 410 to move. Then, the small-sized stirring member will drive the freeze-dried food above the staple food to move. When the small-sized stirring member moves to a certain extent, the freeze-dried food will fall downward in a free-falling state. At the same time, the large-sized stirring member will drive the staple food at the bottom to move. At this time, the freeze-dried food is below, and part of the staple food will be above the freeze-dried food. That is, by continuously rotating the rotating shaft 420, the staple food and the freeze-dried food are circulated and alternately turned over, so that the staple food at the bottom can be fully mixed with the freeze-dried food above the staple food. Compared with the prior art in which the mixing is performed by a plurality of stirring rods with the same length, in this embodiment, at least two stirring members with different lengths are adopted, and the freeze-dried food in the middle can be moved to the bottom of the cylinder body 410, and the staple food at the bottom of the cylinder body 410 will be moved to the middle of the cylinder body 410, thus solving the technical problem of uneven mixing of the staple food and the freeze-dried food in the prior art.

In this specification, the schematic expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.
