Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cat litter production equipment, in particular to a uniform feeding bin for a granulator. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living quality and the development of an aging society, cats have become one of our favorite pets. The reasons are simple: cats are small in size, clean-loving, cute, relatively docile, and easy to take care of. In the future pet market, the number of cats will grow exponentially. At present, in the pet market worth hundreds of billions, cat litter, as an essential pet product, has seen an explosive growth in usage from 2015 to 2020.

[0003] After the raw materials of cat litter are mixed by a mixing device, they enter a buffer bin, and then are transported from the buffer bin to multiple granulators. The granulators extrude and cut the materials to form particles, which are then directly discharged onto a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt transports the particles to a dryer for drying and then to be packed and formed. The transportation from the buffer bin to the granulators is an important process in production. However, the buffer bin cannot evenly transport the raw materials of cat litter to each granulator, and cannot evenly supply materials to the granulators, resulting in unsmooth discharge of the granulators. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model aims to solve the above technical problems and provides a uniform feeding bin for a granulator.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution provided by the utility model is as follows:

[0006] A uniform feeding bin for a granulator, including a buffer bin. A disk is fixedly installed in the buffer bin. The disk divides the buffer bin into a material area and a maintenance area. A plurality of groups of blades are rotatably arranged on the disk. A plurality of groups of discharge ports are formed on the disk. One side of the blade located directly above the discharge port is of an arc structure. The two sides of the arc structure are inclined and arranged in a V-shaped structure. A feeding device is installed in the material area.

[0007] Preferably, the discharge port is communicated with a discharge pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the discharge pipe is communicated with the inlet of an external granulator.

[0009] Preferably, a driving motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the maintenance area. A rotating shaft is installed at the output end of the driving motor. The blade is connected to the outside of the rotating shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the rotating shaft and the disk are connected by a bearing.

[0011] Preferably, the plurality of groups of blades are circularly arranged in an array with the center of the rotating shaft as the axis.

[0012] Preferably, the feeding device includes a feeding hopper disposed in the material area. A spiral discharging pipe is installed at the lower end of the feeding hopper, and a plurality of discharging openings are formed at the lower end of the spiral discharging pipe.

[0013] Preferably, the outlet of the feeding hopper and the buffer bin are arranged with an offset axis.

[0014] After adopting the above structure, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] In the utility model, the rotation of the paddle pushes the cat litter raw materials to move on the disc. When the cat litter raw materials are located at the discharging port, they fall into the discharging pipe and can flow out evenly from the discharging port. The arc-shaped structure of the paddle plays a role in gathering the cat litter, which can accelerate the entry of the cat litter raw materials into the discharging port and is beneficial to uniform feeding. It achieves that the cat litter raw materials enter each granulator evenly, can prevent a large amount of cat litter raw materials from entering one of the granulators, making the discharging of the granulator not smooth, thus improving the working efficiency.

[0025] The following further elaborates on the present utility model in conjunction with the full text.

[0026] Combined with the attached Figures 1 - 4 , a uniform feeding bin for a granulator, comprising a buffer bin 1, a disc 2 is fixedly installed in the buffer bin 1, the disc 2 divides the buffer bin 1 into a material area 3 and a maintenance area 4, a plurality of groups of blades 9 are rotatably arranged on the disc 2, a plurality of groups of discharge ports 5 are opened on the disc 2, one side of the blade 9 directly above the discharge port 5 is an arc structure 6, both sides of the arc structure 6 are inclined and guided and are in a V-shaped structure, and a feeding device 7 is installed in the material area 3.

[0027] When the present utility model is specifically implemented, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the discharge port 5 is communicated with a discharge pipe 501, the discharge pipe 501 is communicated with the inlet of an external granulator. Specifically, the discharge port 5 is provided in two groups or four groups, and the number of the discharge pipes 501 is set to match the number of the discharge ports 5. The discharge port 5 penetrates through the buffer bin 1 and is connected to the inlet of the granulator, so as to enter the next process.

[0028] When the present utility model is specifically implemented, as Figure 2 shown, a driving motor 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the maintenance area 4. The driving motor 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the maintenance area 4 through a fixing bracket and bolts. An inspection opening is opened on the buffer bin 1. When the inspection opening is opened, the internal structure of the maintenance area 4 can be seen. A rotating shaft 801 is installed at the output end of the driving motor 8. The rotating shaft 801 and the disc 2 are connected through a bearing. The blade 9 is connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 801. When the driving motor 8 works, it drives the rotating shaft 801 to rotate, thereby driving the blade 9 to push the cat litter raw material to move on the disc 2. When the cat litter raw material is located at the discharge port 5, it drops into the discharge pipe 501 and can flow out evenly from the discharge port 5.

[0029] When the present utility model is specifically implemented, as Figure 4 shown. Multiple groups of blades 9 are circularly arrayed with the center of the rotating shaft 801 as the axis. One side of the blade 9 directly above the discharge port 5 is an arc-shaped structure 6. Specifically, the arc-shaped structure 6 is larger than the diameter of the discharge port 5, and the centers of the discharge port 5 and the arc-shaped structure 6 are on the outer circle of the same circle. Both sides of the arc-shaped structure 6 are inclined and guiding and are in a V-shaped structure. When the blade 9 rotates, the V-shaped structure can cause the cat litter raw material to gather towards the inside of the arc-shaped structure 6 during pushing, which can accelerate the entry of the cat litter raw material into the discharge port 5 and is beneficial to uniform feeding.

[0030] When the present utility model is specifically implemented, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the feeding device 7 includes a feeding hopper 701 arranged in the material area 3. A spiral discharge pipe 702 is installed at the lower end of the feeding hopper 701. Multiple groups of spreading openings 703 are opened at the lower end of the spiral discharge pipe 702. The cat litter raw material enters from the feeding hopper 701 and then enters the spiral discharge pipe 702. The cat litter rotates downward in the spiral discharge pipe 702 and falls above the disc 2 from the spreading openings 703.

[0031] The outlet of the feeding hopper 701 and the buffer bin 1 are arranged with an offset axis. Specifically, the offset axis arrangement can enable the cat litter raw material to accelerate into the spiral discharge pipe 702 when entering from the feeding hopper 701.

[0032] The working principle of the present utility model:

[0033] The cat litter raw material enters from the feeding hopper 701 and then enters the spiral discharge pipe 702. The cat litter rotates downward in the spiral discharge pipe 702 and falls above the disc 2 from the spreading openings 703. The driving motor 8 works to drive the rotation of the rotating shaft 801, thereby driving the blade 9 to push the cat litter raw material to move on the disc 2. The V-shaped structure can cause the cat litter raw material to gather towards the inside of the arc-shaped structure 6 during pushing. When the cat litter raw material is at the discharge port 5, it falls into the discharge pipe 501 and can uniformly flow out from the discharge port 5.

[0034] The above describes the present utility model and its implementation manners. Such description is not restrictive. What is shown throughout the text is only one of the implementation manners of the present utility model, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Generally speaking, if those of ordinary skill in the art are inspired by it and, without departing from the gist of the creation of the present utility model, design similar structural manners and embodiments to this technical solution without creative efforts, they shall all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
