DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] The extrusion molding device in the prior art has a single function and can only squeeze the cat food raw materials into strips by mechanical pressure. The structure of the formed strips of cat food is relatively loose. When the workers transfer the formed cat food to other processing equipment, the long strips of cat food are easily broken or become loose, which is not conducive to subsequent processing. In order to solve this technical defect in the prior art, Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes an extrusion molding device for cat food production, which can automatically perform high-temperature steaming on the extruded cat food strips to generate a certain viscosity between the materials, which can effectively prevent the cat food strips from loosening during subsequent processing. The device is mounted on a base 1 with a fixed bracket 2, and a spiral feeding mechanism 3 for conveying and extruding the cat food raw materials is provided on the fixed bracket 2. The mounting base 1 is provided with a steaming and molding mechanism 4 for heating and shaping the cat food strips. After the staff puts the cat food raw materials into the spiral feeding mechanism 3, the spiral feeding mechanism 3 will extrude the cat food raw materials into strips and output them outward. Next, the steaming and molding mechanism 4 will automatically steam and heat the cat food strips.

[0023] In order to improve the processing efficiency of cat food as much as possible and ensure the processing quality, a spiral feeding mechanism 3 is provided in this embodiment. Specifically, the spiral feeding mechanism 3 includes a feeding cylinder 301 detachably mounted on the fixed bracket 2, the feeding cylinder 301 is connected to a feeding funnel 302, a feeding auger 304 is movably mounted inside the feeding cylinder 301, a driving motor 303 for driving the feeding auger 304 is fixedly mounted on the side of the feeding cylinder 301, and a discharge cylinder is provided on the side of the feeding cylinder 301 facing the steaming and forming mechanism 4. Tube 305, an extrusion die 306 is fixedly installed on the discharge circular tube 305. After the material enters the feed cylinder 301, it will be discharged outward through the extrusion die 306 under the action of the feed auger 304. A number of discharge holes are opened at equal intervals on the extrusion die 306 to ensure that multiple cat food strips can be extruded at one time, thereby improving production efficiency. A guide shaft 307 is movably installed on the extrusion die 306. When the cat food raw materials are discharged through the extrusion die 306, the guide shaft 307 will support the bottom of the cat food strips to prevent them from breaking.

[0024] In order to make the cat food raw materials have a certain viscosity and prevent the cat food strips from becoming loose during the processing, the present embodiment is provided with a steaming and forming mechanism 4. Specifically, the steaming and forming mechanism 4 includes a mounting vertical plate 401 fixedly mounted on the mounting base 1, and two sets of mounting vertical plates 401 are movably mounted with conveying rollers 402. A conveyor belt 403 is provided between the two conveying rollers 402. The extrusion die 306 and the feed shaft 307 are both located above the conveyor belt 403, thereby ensuring that the discharged cat food strips will fall onto the conveyor belt 403. 1 is provided with a feeding motor 404 for driving the conveying roller 402. When the conveying roller 402 rotates, the conveyor belt 403 moves horizontally at a constant rate, thereby realizing automatic material connection. A steam generator 405 is fixedly installed on the mounting base 1. When the conveyor belt 403 moves horizontally, the extruded strip cat food is horizontally transported, thereby completing automatic material connection. A U-shaped bracket is fixedly installed at the lower end of the steam generator 405. The U-shaped bracket is provided with an air jet hole, so that the conveyor belt 403 in the circulating state is sterilized at high temperature to ensure the hygiene of cat food production.

[0025] According to the above content, when producing and processing cat food, first, the staff will put the mixed materials into the feed funnel 302. Next, the feeding auger 304 will rotate under the action of the drive motor 303, so that the material will pass through the discharge tube 305 into the extrusion die 306. Subsequently, the material will be discharged in the form of strips through multiple discharge holes.

[0026] After the strip material is discharged, it will fall onto the conveyor belt 403 under the action of the feed shaft 307. At the same time, the conveyor belt 403 will move horizontally under the action of the feed motor 404, thereby horizontally conveying the strip material and completing automatic material connection.

[0027] Subsequently, the strip material will pass under the steam generator 405 under the action of the conveyor belt 403. At the same time, the steam generator 405 will automatically heat the strip material at a high temperature, thereby shaping the strip material to prevent it from becoming loose.

[0028] Moreover, the air jet holes provided on the U-shaped bracket can sterilize the conveyor belt 403 in a circulating moving state at high temperature, which can effectively ensure the hygiene of cat food production.

[0029] This embodiment provides a spiral feeding mechanism 3, and utilizes the mutual cooperation between the feeding auger 304 and the extrusion die 306 to extrude multiple cat food strips at one time, which has high processing efficiency. Moreover, during the discharge of the cat food strips, the guide shaft 307 guides and supports the cat food strips, which can effectively prevent the cat food strips from breaking due to excessive sagging. In addition, this embodiment provides a steaming and forming mechanism 4, and utilizes the mutual cooperation between the conveyor belt 403 and the steam generator 405 to automatically perform high-temperature steaming on the extruded cat food strips, so that a certain viscosity is generated between the materials, which can effectively prevent the cat food strips from becoming loose during subsequent processing.

[0030] The control method of the present invention is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by technicians in this field. The provision of power is also common knowledge in this field. In addition, the present invention is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection are no longer explained in detail in the present invention.

[0031] It should be noted that, in this article, the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements that are inherent to such process, method, article or apparatus.

[0032] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
