Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mixing device technology, and in particular to a mixing device for pet food production. Background Technology
[0002] Dog and cat food are essential foods for pets, with high demand and high requirements. To improve their quality and nutritional content, existing cat and dog food often mixes freeze-dried food and meat floss into the formed kibble, mainly through mixing equipment. Current mixing equipment generally puts the dog or cat food and freeze-dried food and meat floss into the mixing equipment at one time for mixing. Because the total amount is relatively large, it is not easy to mix them, making it difficult to mix the dog or cat food with freeze-dried food and meat floss evenly. When packaging, some bags may contain too much freeze-dried food and meat floss, thus affecting the sales quality.
[0003] In addition, when existing mixing equipment mixes dog food or cat food, the mixing rod inside the equipment rotates rapidly, which hits the dog food or cat food and produces crumbs. Existing mixing equipment does not have a filtration function, so when the dog food or cat food is bagged, the crumbs are also bagged along with it, reducing the overall quality of the dog food or cat food. Therefore, a mixing device for pet food production is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the existing technology where the mixing equipment has a large mixing volume per batch, making it difficult to mix dog food or cat food with freeze-dried food and meat floss evenly, and the existing mixing equipment cannot filter out the residue, thus reducing the overall quality of dog food or cat food. Therefore, this invention proposes a mixing and stirring device for pet food production.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A mixing and stirring device for pet food production includes a circular outer shell, an inlet at the top of the circular outer shell, a storage hopper fixedly connected to the inlet at the top of the circular outer shell, an outlet at the bottom of the circular outer shell, a discharge pipe fixedly connected to the outlet, a U-shaped base plate fixedly connected to the circular outer shell via support legs, a conveying roller rotatably mounted inside the circular outer shell, a granulation box rotatably mounted inside the conveying roller, circumferentially distributed mixing grooves on the surface of the conveying roller, a main shaft rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the mixing grooves, a stirring rod fixedly connected to the surface of the main shaft, a driven gear fixedly connected to one end of the main shaft, and a fixed gear ring meshing with the driven gear fixedly connected to one end of the circular outer shell.
[0007] The inner wall of the granulation box is fixedly connected to a mounting base arranged opposite to it. A groove is provided on the side wall of the mounting base. A granulation motor is installed inside the groove and arranged opposite to it. A granulation roller is fixed to the output end of the granulation motor.
[0008] Preferably, a drive motor is mounted on the top of the U-shaped base plate via a motor mount, a drive gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, a drive gear ring that meshes with the drive gear is fixedly connected to one side of the conveying roller, and the top of the motor mount is fixedly connected to the granulation box via an L-shaped support rod.
[0009] Preferably, a square opening is provided on the side wall of the granulation box, and a baffle is slidably provided on the inner side of the square opening, with a handle fixedly connected to one end of the baffle.
[0010] Preferably, the top of the granulation box is provided with a connecting interface, and a material hopper is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the granulation box at the connecting interface, and the bottom end of the material hopper is attached to the baffle.
[0011] Preferably, the granulation box has a recovery port on its side wall, and a sealing plug is provided inside the recovery port.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the mixing tank has an opening, and a filter screen plate for filtering debris is fixedly connected to the inside of the opening.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. This solution is equipped with a conveyor roller, a stirring rod, a driven gear, and a fixed gear ring. By driving the conveyor roller to rotate, dog food or cat food mixed with freeze-dried food and meat floss can be poured into the mixing tanks from the inside of the storage hopper. With the cooperation of the driven gear and the fixed gear ring, the stirring rod rotates to achieve the mixing function. The multiple mixing tanks not only realize the quantitative function of dog food or cat food mixed with freeze-dried food and meat floss, which is convenient for subsequent bagging, but also divide a large amount of dog food or cat food mixed with freeze-dried food and meat floss into multiple small portions, making it easier to mix the dog food or cat food mixed with freeze-dried food and meat floss evenly and improving the mixing efficiency.
[0015] 2. This solution, by setting up a pelleting box, pelleting rollers and filter screen, can filter out the crumbs in dog food or cat food, reduce the crumbs when dog food or cat food is bagged, and improve the overall quality of dog food or cat food. By using the pelleting rollers to squeeze and reshape the crumbs, the crumbs are reformed into granules. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Reference Figure 1-6 A mixing and stirring device for pet food production includes a circular outer shell 1, with an inlet at the top of the circular outer shell 1. A storage hopper 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the circular outer shell 1 at the inlet (a vibration motor is installed on the outer wall of the storage hopper 2, which drives the storage hopper 2 to vibrate, helping the dog food or cat food in the storage hopper 2 to be mixed with freeze-dried food and meat floss). An outlet is opened at the bottom of the circular outer shell 1, with a discharge pipe fixedly connected to the outlet (a plug is provided at the opening of the discharge pipe). A U-shaped base plate 8 is fixedly connected to the circular outer shell 1 through support legs.
[0025] Inside the circular outer shell 1, a conveying roller 7 is rotatably arranged. Inside the conveying roller 7, a granulation box 5 is rotatably arranged. The surface of the conveying roller 7 is provided with a circumferentially distributed mixing trough 701. The inner wall of the mixing trough 701 is rotatably arranged with a main shaft. A stirring rod 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the main shaft. A driven gear 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the main shaft. A fixed toothed ring 3 that meshes with the driven gear 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the circular outer shell 1.
[0026] It should be noted that when the conveyor roller 7 rotates, the mixing trough 701 on the surface of the conveyor roller 7 rotates to the feed inlet, and the dog food or cat food and freeze-dried meat floss inside the storage hopper 2 will automatically enter the mixing trough 701. Multiple mixing troughs 701 can realize the quantitative distribution function of dog food or cat food and freeze-dried meat floss, dividing a large amount of dog food or cat food and freeze-dried meat floss into multiple small portions, making it easier for dog food or cat food and freeze-dried meat floss to be mixed evenly, improving mixing efficiency. At the same time, after quantitative distribution, cat food and freeze-dried meat floss can be directly bagged without weighing, improving bagging efficiency.
[0027] Furthermore, a drive motor 11 is mounted on the top of the U-shaped base plate 8 via a motor mount. A drive gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 11. A drive gear ring 9 that meshes with the drive gear is fixedly connected to one side of the conveying roller 7. The top of the motor mount is fixedly connected to the granulation box 5 via an L-shaped support rod 10.
[0028] It should be noted that: the drive motor 11 drives the drive gear to rotate intermittently, and the drive gear drives the conveyor roller 7 to rotate intermittently through the drive gear ring 9, so as to ensure that the mixing tank 701 stays at the feed inlet for the same amount of time, thereby ensuring that the amount of dog food or cat food and freeze-dried meat floss in the mixing tank 701 is the same.
[0029] The inner wall of the granulation box 5 is fixedly connected to a mounting base 14 with opposite sides. The side wall of the mounting base 14 has a groove, and the inner side of the groove is fitted with a granulation motor 18 with opposite sides. The output end of the granulation motor 18 is fixedly connected to a granulation roller 17 (the granulation roller 17 is existing technology, and its specific structure and working principle will not be described here). Further, the bottom end of the mixing tank 701 has an opening, and the inner side of the opening is fixedly connected to a filter screen plate 12 for filtering debris. Further, the side wall of the granulation box 5 has a square opening, and the inner side of the square opening is slidably fitted with a baffle 16. One end of the baffle 16 is fixedly connected to a handle 4. Further, the top of the granulation box 5 has a connecting port, and the inner wall of the granulation box 5 is fixedly connected to a material hopper 15 at the connecting port. The bottom end of the material hopper 15 is in contact with the baffle 16. Further, the side wall of the granulation box 5 has a recovery port, and the inner side of the recovery port is fitted with a sealing plug 19.
[0030] It should be noted that after the mixing and bagging are completed, the baffle 16 is moved by the handle 4 and pulled out, so that the residue gathered inside the hopper 15 falls between the granulating rollers 17. The granulating rollers 17 are used to squeeze and reshape the residue, so that the residue is reformed into granules. The reshaped residue is then taken out and recycled through the recycling port by removing the sealing plug 19.
[0031] When using this invention, dog food or cat food, freeze-dried food, and meat floss are poured into the inner side of the storage hopper 2. The drive motor 11 is turned on, and the drive motor 11 drives the drive gear to rotate intermittently. The drive gear drives the conveying roller 7 to rotate intermittently through the drive gear ring 9, ensuring that the mixing tank 701 on the surface of the conveying roller 7 stays at the inlet for the same amount of time. This ensures that the amount of dog food or cat food, freeze-dried food, and meat floss in the mixing tank 701 is the same (at this time, the content of dog food or cat food, freeze-dried food, and meat floss in the mixing tank 701 is the standard amount specified in the packaging bag).
[0032] During the rotation of the conveyor roller 7, the driven gear 6 is driven to make a circular motion, causing the driven gear 6 to roll along the fixed gear ring 3, which in turn drives the main shaft connected to the driven gear 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring rod 13 to rotate, thus realizing the mixing function. Multiple mixing tanks 701 can realize the quantitative distribution function of dog food or cat food with freeze-dried food and meat floss, quantitatively distributing a large amount of dog food or cat food with freeze-dried food and meat floss into multiple small portions, making it easier for dog food or cat food with freeze-dried food and meat floss to be mixed evenly, improving the mixing efficiency. At the same time, after quantitative distribution, cat food with freeze-dried food and meat floss can be directly bagged without weighing, improving the bagging efficiency.
[0033] After mixing, remove the plug at the inlet of the feeding pipe, place the opening of the packaging bag at the inlet of the feeding pipe, and when the mixing tank 701 rotates to the outlet, the dog food or cat food, freeze-dried food and meat floss in the mixing tank 701 are discharged through the feeding pipe and enter the inside of the packaging bag.
[0034] After mixing and bagging are completed, the granulation motor 18 is turned on. The two granulation motors 18 rotate in opposite directions, causing the granulation rollers 17 on both sides to rotate towards each other. Then, the baffle 16 is moved by the handle 4 and pulled out, so that the residue accumulated inside the hopper 15 falls between the granulation rollers 17. The granulation rollers 17 are used to squeeze and reshape the residue, so that the residue is reformed into granular dog food or cat food. By removing the sealing plug 19, the reformed residue (granular dog food or cat food) is taken out and recycled through the recycling port.
[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
