Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cat litter production, in particular to drying equipment for cat litter production. Background Art
[0002] Cat litter is an essential household item for cats (and some small dogs and other pets). It offers advantages such as deodorization, strong adsorption, non-toxicity, pollution-free operation, and minimal waste generation, making it a green and environmentally friendly household product. Cat litter is a highly consumed pet product and a must-have for most cat-raising households. Drying is a key step in the production of cat litter. Drying effectively removes moisture from the litter, ensuring its dryness after production. Dried cat litter has a positive impact on a cat's daily environment and health.
[0003] However, some of the existing cat litter may be in a clumping state before drying. If the cat litter is in a clumping state before drying, this will directly affect the drying efficiency. The clumped cat litter has uneven internal moisture distribution and the blocky structure hinders the effective transfer of heat. Therefore, it takes longer to achieve the ideal drying effect, which not only increases the energy consumption in the production process, but also pushes up the overall production cost. If the clumped cat litter is processed by staff or equipment before drying, it will also increase the cost and energy consumption of the production process. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a drying device for cat litter production, which can effectively solve the problem in the prior art that agglomerated cat litter increases the drying time.

[0006] The utility model provides a drying device for cat litter production, comprising a drying box, wherein a rotating shaft is rotatably installed inside the drying box, rotating columns are rotatably installed on both side walls of the rotating shaft, fixed columns are fixed on the outer walls of the rotating columns, and the outer walls of the fixed columns are provided with a plurality of protrusions, a support plate is fixedly installed inside the drying box, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the support plate, a plurality of grooves are provided on the top of the support plate, the support plate is located below the fixed columns and fits with the protrusions, a motor is fixedly installed on the top of the drying box, the output end of the motor movably passes through the top of the drying box and is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft, and a drying mechanism is provided on the side walls of the drying box.
[0007] According to the above-mentioned drying equipment for cat litter production, an inclined plate is fixedly connected to the interior of the drying box, and the bottom end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inclined plate.
[0008] According to the above-mentioned drying equipment for cat litter production, a knocking plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft.
[0009] According to the above-mentioned drying equipment for cat litter production, the drying mechanism includes a box body, which is installed on the side wall of the drying box. The inner wall of the box body is provided with a resistance wire, and a blower is installed on the side of the box body away from the drying box.
[0010] According to the above-mentioned drying equipment for cat litter production, a protective net is provided inside the box body, and the protective net is arranged opposite to the blower.
[0011] According to the above-mentioned drying equipment for cat litter production, a connecting ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drying box, and a plurality of supporting legs are provided at the bottom of the connecting ring.
[0012] According to the above-mentioned drying equipment for cat litter production, the drying box is provided with a discharge port connected to the side wall away from the box body, and a sealing plug is provided on the outside of the discharge port.

A plurality of grooves are opened on the top of the support plate 10, and the support plate 10 is located below the fixed column 8. An inclined plate 11 is fixedly connected to the inside of the drying box 1, and the bottom end of the rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the inclined plate 11. The top of the drying box 1 A motor 5 is fixedly installed, and the output end of the motor 5 movably passes through the top of the drying box 1 and is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 6. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 6 is fixedly connected to a knocking plate 18. The side wall of the drying box 1 is provided with a drying mechanism. Under the action of the motor 5, the rotating shaft 6 is driven to rotate, and then the rotating column 7 and the fixed column 8 are driven to rotate on the support plate 10. With the cooperation of the protrusion 9 and the groove, the agglomerated cat litter is crushed and crushed, and the agglomerated cat litter is separated. The separated cat litter falls to the bottom of the support plate 10 through the groove, and cooperates with the drying mechanism to dry the cat litter, and finally falls to the top of the inclined plate 11.
[0026] Further, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The drying mechanism includes a box body 12, which is installed on the side wall of the drying box 1. A resistance wire 14 is provided on the inner wall of the box body 12. A blower 13 is installed on the side of the box body 12 away from the drying box 1. A protective net 15 is provided inside the box body 12, and the protective net 15 is arranged opposite to the blower 13. Under the action of the resistance wire 14, the temperature inside the box body 12 is increased, and with the cooperation of the blower 13, the increased air is blown into the interior of the drying box 1 to dry the cat litter.
[0027] Further, refer to Figure 1 The outer wall of the drying box 1 is fixedly connected with a connecting ring 3, and a plurality of supporting legs 4 are provided at the bottom of the connecting ring 3 to support the entire device.
