[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a microwave device for sterilizing pet food, including a box 1, a microwave generator 2 and an ultraviolet lamp 3 installed on both sides of the inner wall of the box 1, a tube column 4 and a motor 8 that drives the tube column 4 to rotate inside the box 1, a movable frame 7 installed outside the tube column 4, and two layers of cloth bag trays 6 laid on the movable frame 7, an electric telescopic rod 9 fixed on the top surface of the box 1, and a traction rope 5 installed outside the tube column 4 that drives the two layers of cloth bag trays 6 to shake up and down under the drive of the electric telescopic rod 9.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The box 1 is equipped with a partition 11, which divides the space inside the box 1 into an upper sterilization chamber and a lower receiving chamber. The partition 11 has a through hole in the center, and a fixing rod 12 is fixed in the through hole. The motor 8 is fixed to the bottom of the fixing rod 12. The column 4 is rotatably connected to the fixing rod 12. Pet food is scattered on the upper and lower cloth bag trays 6. Microwave heating and ultraviolet irradiation sterilization are performed by microwave generators 2 and ultraviolet lamps 3 on both sides of the box 1. During the sterilization process, the motor 8 and the electric telescopic rod 9 are turned on. The motor 8 drives the column 4 to drive the movable frame 7 and the two cloth bag trays 6 on the movable frame 7 to rotate slowly, so as to better perform microwave and ultraviolet sterilization.
[0029] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The bottom of the column 4 has discharge ports 42 on both sides. A guide hopper 41 is fixed to the outside of the column 4 below the discharge ports 42. The top of the column 4 has receiving ports 43 on both sides, which are distributed corresponding to the two layers of cloth bag trays 6. When receiving pet food, it can enter the column 4 and be dispersed outward through the guide hopper 41 at the bottom of the column 4. The pet food can fall through the discharge port 42 into the through hole of the partition 11. A material bucket can be placed in the receiving chamber below the through hole to quickly complete the receiving.
[0030] It should be noted that a baffle 44 that can slide upward and retract is provided inside the receiving port 43. A pull rod 45 is fixed on the outer wall of the baffle 44. A guide groove 46 is provided on the column 4 to guide the pull rod 45 to slide. When receiving the material, the receiving port 43 can be opened by pulling the baffle 44 through the pull rod 45, so that the pet food can enter the column 4.
[0031] Please see Figure 7 The active frame 7 includes several upper shelf plates 71 and lower shelf plates 72 arranged radially around the column 4. The upper shelf plates 71 and lower shelf plates 72 are distributed vertically. The upper shelf plates 71 and lower shelf plates 72 are each hinged to a first hinge seat 73 at one end near the column 4, and the first hinge seat 73 is fixed to the outside of the column 4. The other end of the upper shelf plates 71 and lower shelf plates 72 is fixed to a second hinge seat 74, and a connecting rod 75 is hinged between the two second hinge seats 74. When the electric telescopic rod 9 pushes the traction rope 5 to rise, it pulls the upper shelf plate 71 through the traction rope 5, causing the upper shelf plate 71 to swing upward. Under the linkage of the connecting rod 75, the lower shelf plate 72 is simultaneously driven to swing upward, thereby gathering the pet food scattered on the cloth bag tray 6 towards the column 4. When the push plate 91 moves downward, under the action of gravity, the upper shelf plate 71 and lower shelf plate 72 swing downward synchronously, causing the pet food gathered on the cloth bag tray 6 to disperse again towards the edge of the cloth bag tray 6.
[0032] Please see Figure 5 The output end of the electric telescopic rod 9 extends into the column 4 and is fixed with a push plate 91. The lifting assembly 10 includes a telescopic tube 101, which is slidably connected to the column 4. The bottom end of the telescopic tube 101 abuts against the push plate 91, and the top end of the telescopic tube 101 extends to the outside of the column 4 and is fixed with a fixing plate 102. One end of the traction rope 5 is fixed to the fixing plate 102, and the other end of the traction rope 5 is fixed to the upper frame plate 71. The electric telescopic rod 9 works to push and pull the push plate 91 back and forth. When the push plate 91 moves upward, it can push the telescopic tube 101. The fixing plate 102 at the top of the telescopic tube 101 drives the traction rope 5, which in turn pulls the upper frame plate 71, causing the upper frame plate 71 to swing upward. When the push plate 91 moves downward, the upper frame plate 71 and the lower frame plate 72 swing downward synchronously under the action of gravity.
[0033] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, pet food is scattered on the upper and lower cloth bag trays 6. Microwave heating and ultraviolet irradiation sterilization are performed by the microwave generators 2 and ultraviolet lamps 3 on both sides of the box 1. During sterilization, the motor 8 and electric telescopic rod 9 are activated. The motor 8 drives the column 4 to slowly rotate the movable frame 7 and the two cloth bag trays 6 on the movable frame 7, facilitating better microwave and ultraviolet sterilization. The electric telescopic rod 9 reciprocates by pushing and pulling the push plate 91. When the push plate 91 moves upward, it pushes the telescopic tube 101, which is then driven by the fixed plate 102 at the top of the telescopic tube 101. The traction rope 5 pulls the upper shelf 71, causing it to swing upwards. Under the linkage of the connecting rod 75, the lower shelf 72 swings upwards simultaneously, thus gathering the pet food scattered on the cloth bag tray 6 towards the tube column 4. When the push plate 91 moves downwards, under the action of gravity, the upper shelf 71 and the lower shelf 72 swing downwards synchronously, causing the pet food gathered on the cloth bag tray 6 to disperse again towards the edge of the cloth bag tray 6. Through the up-and-down swinging of the upper shelf 71 and the lower shelf 72, the pet food on the cloth bag tray 6 can be continuously gathered and dispersed, further improving the sterilization effect on the pet food.
[0034] After sterilization is completed, turn off the microwave generator 2 and the ultraviolet lamp 3. At the same time, drive the upper shelf 71 and the lower shelf 72 to swing upward and maintain a fixed posture by the electric telescopic rod 9, so that the sterilized pet food on the cloth bag tray 6 can gather towards the receiving port 43. Then, the receiving port 43 can be opened by pulling the baffle 44 through the pull rod 45, so that the pet food can enter the tube column 4 and be dispersed outward through the guide hopper 41 at the bottom of the tube column 4. The pet food can fall into the through hole of the partition 11 through the discharge port 42. The material bucket can be placed in the receiving chamber below the through hole to quickly complete the receiving.
[0035] Although 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 alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
