Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field, and in particular to a water mixing device for producing wet cat food. Background Technology

[0002] Cat food, also known as cat food, is a general term for food eaten by pet cats. It can be divided into dry cat food and wet cat food according to different moisture content. In the production process of wet cat food, water needs to be added to the raw materials and mixed and stirred to ensure that the animal raw materials (pure meat, bone-in food, offal food) and nutritional additives (vitamins, minerals, taurine, etc.) are evenly mixed with water, so as to ensure the uniformity of the mixing of nutritional additives and animal raw materials.

[0003] Currently, wet cat food production requires water injection and mixing, as illustrated by Chinese Patent CN218358745U, which describes a water injection and mixing device for wet cat food production. However, this method involves spraying water through outlets on multiple mixing tubes to inject water into the cat food ingredients, thus achieving more efficient mixing. While this method effectively mixes the water with the ingredients, it requires pressurized water to ensure the water is ejected from the outlets. Furthermore, during spraying, nearby cat food ingredients first come into contact with the water, forming clumps that prevent the water from quickly reaching other ingredients, thus affecting mixing efficiency. Therefore, a water injection and mixing device for wet cat food production was designed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address this problem, this application provides a water mixing device for producing wet cat food.

[0005] The water mixing device for wet cat food production provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A water-injection mixing device for wet cat food production includes a mixing box. Feed pipes are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper end of the mixing box. The lower end of the feed pipe passes through the end wall of the mixing box and is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe. A baffle is provided at the lower end of the connecting pipe. A push rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the baffle. A movable frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the push rod. A threaded rod is threadedly connected to the upper end of the movable frame through the connecting pipe. The upper end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the mixing box. A stirring rod is rotatably connected to the lower end of the mixing box. A dispersing disc is fixedly connected to the upper end of the stirring rod.

[0007] Preferably, the lower end of the stirring rod passes through the mixing chamber and is fixedly connected to a servo motor, and the servo motor is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mixing chamber.

[0008] Preferably, the upper end of the threaded rod passes through the mixing box and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod, and the upper end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the gear.

[0009] Preferably, a torsion spring is fixedly connected to the lower end of the gear, and a mixing box is fixedly connected to the lower end of the torsion spring.

[0010] Preferably, one side of the gear meshes with a half gear, and a stepper motor is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the half gear.

[0011] Preferably, the stepper motor is fixedly connected to the support frame, and the mixing box is fixedly connected to the lower end of one side of the support frame.

[0012] Preferably, a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the mixing box.

[0013] In summary, this application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0014] In this invention, two feed pipes allow for pre-mixing of cat food ingredients and water. After mixing, the rotating dispersion disc breaks up any clumps formed during pre-mixing, making the mixture more dispersed as it falls. This facilitates the mixing of the cat food ingredients by the stirring rod, further improving mixing efficiency. Furthermore, the threaded rod drives the push rod to move, controlling the continuous raising and lowering of the baffle. This controls the falling of the cat food ingredients, preventing excessive accumulation or large amounts falling at once that could cause jamming and hinder mixing. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.

[0021] This application discloses a water mixing device for producing wet cat food. (See also...) Figure 1-4A water-injection mixing device for wet cat food production includes a mixing tank 1. A stirring rod 3 has its lower end passing through the mixing tank 1 and is fixedly connected to a servo motor 2. The servo motor 2 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mixing tank 1. Feed pipes 6 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper end of the mixing tank 1 for feeding cat food and water. The lower end of the feed pipes 6 passes through the end wall of the mixing tank 1 and is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 7. The cat food and water enter the connecting pipe 7 for pre-mixing. A baffle 8 is provided at the lower end of the connecting pipe 7. A push rod 9 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the baffle 8. A movable frame 10 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the push rod 9. A threaded rod 11 is threaded through the connecting pipe 7 and threaded through the upper end of the movable frame 10. The upper end of the threaded rod 11 is rotatably connected to the mixing tank 1. The stirring rod 3 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the mixing tank 1. A dispersing disc 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the stirring rod 3. The dispersing disc 4 continuously rotates to break up the sticky clumps formed by the pre-mixed cat food falling down, making the falling more dispersed and facilitating the mixing process.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, gear 12 meshes with half gear 14 on one side. Stepper motor 15 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of half gear 14. Stepper motor 15 is fixedly connected to support frame. Mixing box 1 is fixedly connected to the lower end of one side of support frame. Half gear 14 can be driven to rotate by stepper motor 15, thereby driving gear 12 on one side to rotate.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper end of the threaded rod 11 passes through the mixing box 1 and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod, and the upper end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the gear 12, the lower end of the gear 12 is fixedly connected to the torsion spring 13, and the lower end of the torsion spring 13 is fixedly connected to the mixing box 1.

[0024] After the half gear 14 rotates and drives the gear 12 to rotate, it will separate from the gear 12. At this time, the torsion spring 13 driven by the gear 12 will drive the gear 12 to rotate and return to its original position, so that the threaded rod 11 drives the moving frame 10 to rise, and the push rod 9 drives the baffle 8 to rise again to block the connecting pipe 7, which facilitates the pre-mixing treatment after the next cat food is added.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, a discharge pipe 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the mixing box 1 for discharging the mixed material.

[0026] The implementation principle of the water mixing device for wet cat food production in this application embodiment is as follows: The cat food raw material feeding pipe and the water transport pipe are respectively connected to two feed pipes 6, and the input of cat food raw materials and water is controlled. Then, the stepper motor 15 and the servo motor 2 can be started. The servo motor 2 adjusts the stirring rod 3 to rotate, and the dispersing disk 4 on the stirring rod 3 rotates with the stirring rod 3. The cat food raw materials and water are transported together into the connecting pipe 7 through the feed pipe 6. At this time, the lower end of the connecting pipe 7 is blocked by the baffle 8, so that the raw materials and water cannot flow. At this time, the raw materials and water are initially mixed and limited by the conical surface at the upper end of the baffle 8, and accumulate on the side of the conical surface. The stepper motor 15... The half gear 14 rotates once, causing the half gear 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear 12 on one side to rotate. The gear 12 drives the threaded rod 11 to rotate, causing the threaded rod 11 to drive the moving frame 10 to descend. The moving frame 10 drives the push rod 9 to descend, causing the push rod 9 to drive the baffle 8 to descend. After the baffle 8 descends, the mixture of raw materials and water in the connecting pipe 7 falls through the leaked space and comes into contact with the dispersion disc 4 at the bottom. This causes the mixed material to be broken up by the rotation of the dispersion disc 4, so that it falls evenly into the mixing box 1 after mixing. This initial mixing and then breaking up ensures that the cat food raw materials and water are premixed, and avoids clumping that affects the stirring, making it easier for the stirring rod 3 to stir the cat food raw materials and water.
