Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of jelly filling equipment technology, specifically a device for reducing solid particles in laboratory mice before jelly filling. Background Technology
[0002] Laboratory animals are a fundamental and crucial supporting condition for life sciences, encompassing numerous fields such as medicine, chemical engineering, agriculture, light industry, environmental protection, aerospace, commodity inspection, and military industry. They are figuratively referred to as "living reagents." Laboratory animals often lose weight after scientific research, and researchers need to alleviate their discomfort, such as difficulty eating and pain, after the research ends. Dietary jelly gels, as a nutritional supplement, are now widely used in laboratory rodents, effectively improving their diet and providing adequate nutrition. Making palatable jelly helps encourage feeding in laboratory mice.
[0003] Currently, existing jelly production processes strive to ensure that all components are thoroughly mixed and dissolved before cooking, and also extend the cooking time. However, this inevitably results in the formation of undissolved particles, leading to the presence of particles in the packaged jelly. This reduces the jelly's texture, as some particles remain undissolved, affecting the product's quality and palatability.
[0004] To address this, we propose a device to reduce the amount of solid particles in laboratory mouse jelly before filling. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for reducing solid particles in laboratory mice before filling jelly. By incorporating a filter assembly and a cleaning mechanism, it addresses the problem that solid particles in existing jelly production processes can affect the feeding of laboratory mice.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] An apparatus for reducing solid particles in laboratory mouse jelly before filling includes a filling box, an installation box fixedly connected to the outside of the filling box, and further includes: a filter assembly fixed inside the filling box for filtering solid particles; and a cleaning mechanism fixed on the installation box for cleaning the filter assembly.
[0008] Preferably, the filter assembly includes fixing blocks, and multiple fixing blocks are symmetrically fixedly installed inside the filling box. A spring is fixedly connected to one end of each fixing block that is close to each other, and a filter screen is fixedly connected to one end of each spring that is far from each other.
[0009] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes a motor, which is fixedly installed inside the mounting box. A rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A stirring rod is uniformly fixedly connected to the rotating rod through the outside of the filling box. The end of the rotating rod away from the motor is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the filling box.
[0010] Preferably, the output end of the motor is symmetrically and fixedly connected to a drive wheel, and the inner wall of the mounting box is symmetrically and rotatably connected to a driven wheel. Both the drive wheel and the driven wheel are synchronously provided with belts on their outer sides.
[0011] Preferably, both driven wheels are fixedly connected to lead screws inside, both lead screws are threadedly connected to sliders outside, the filling box is symmetrically fixedly connected to limit frames outside, and both sliders are slidably connected to the limit frames.
[0012] Preferably, each of the two limiting frames has a recessed hole at its top, each of the two sliders has a connecting rod fixedly connected to its top, and each of the two connecting rods has a mounting frame fixedly connected through the recessed hole at its top.
[0013] Preferably, the filling box is symmetrically and detachably equipped with brushes inside, and each of the two brushes is fixedly connected to a fixing rod, which engages with the mounting frame.
[0014] Preferably, both of the fixing rods and the mounting frame are provided with through holes, and each of the through holes is threaded with a limit pin.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. This utility model is equipped with a filter component. By designing and optimizing the operation of the existing jelly filling process, a V-shaped slit metal filter (wedge-shaped screen) is added to the filling box, and a detachable cleaning brush is provided. This allows solid particles in the liquid to be removed before filling, purifying the fluid. At the same time, the filter is a certain distance from the side and bottom of the filling box, which facilitates the filtration of more adhesive liquid, thereby reducing the solid particles in the finished jelly, improving the sensory quality of the jelly, and ensuring the customer experience.
[0017] 2. This utility model is equipped with a cleaning mechanism. The motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, which allows the stirring rod to stir the jelly, thereby accelerating the filtration. At the same time, the driving wheel drives the driven wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby moving the slider and facilitating the movement of the brush. The brush is L-shaped and is detachable and symmetrically arranged, which makes it easy to clean the filter screen after filtration. Solids are stuck to the brush, which is beneficial for cleaning the filter screen. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be used in other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
[0029] Example 1:
[0030] Please see Figure 1- Figure 7 The device shown in the figure reduces solid particles in laboratory mouse jelly before filling. It includes a filling box 1, an installation box 2 fixedly connected to the outside of the filling box 1, the installation box 2 providing installation space for the cleaning mechanism 4 below, and also includes: a filter assembly 3 fixed inside the filling box 1, the filter assembly 3 is used to filter solid particles, thereby ensuring the taste of the jelly; and a cleaning mechanism 4 fixed on the installation box 2, the cleaning mechanism 4 is used to clean the filter assembly 3, thereby facilitating subsequent filtration by the filter assembly 3.
[0031] Furthermore, the filter assembly 3 includes fixing blocks 5, which are symmetrically fixed inside the filling tank 1. A spring 6 is fixedly connected to the end of each fixing block 5 that is close to each other. The spring 6 is elastic. A filter screen 7 is fixedly connected to the end of each spring 6 that is far from each other. The filter screen 7 is a V-shaped slit metal filter screen (wedge-shaped screen). This filter screen 7 can pass through viscous, pasty liquids, blocking agglomerated impurities within the filter screen. It is easy to clean and is made of 304 / 316L alloy steel. Under the elastic support of the spring 6, it can effectively intercept solid particles while also adapting to the flow impact of the liquid to a certain extent, maintaining a stable filtration state. At the same time, the filter screen 7 is a certain distance from the sides and bottom of the filling tank 1, allowing it to filter more adhesive liquid.
[0032] Specifically: the cleaning mechanism 4 includes a motor 8, which is used to clean the filter screen 7. The motor 8 provides power to the cleaning mechanism 4. The motor 8 is fixedly installed inside the mounting box 2. The output end of the motor 8 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 9. The rotating rod 9 passes through the outside of the filling box 1 and is evenly connected to a stirring rod 10. When the motor 8 starts, the stirring rod 10 fully stirs the jelly liquid inside the filling box 1 to prevent solid particles from accumulating excessively on the filter screen 7, so that the liquid can pass through the filter screen 7 more smoothly for filtration. The end of the rotating rod 9 away from the motor 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the filling box 1.
[0033] Example 2:
[0034] This embodiment further explains Example 1, based on... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, it is worth noting that the output end of the motor 8 is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the drive wheel 11, which has excellent power transmission performance. The inner wall of the mounting box 2 is symmetrically and rotatably connected to the driven wheel 13. Both the drive wheel 11 and the driven wheel 13 are synchronously equipped with belts 12. The belts 12 are made of high-strength and wear-resistant rubber material, which has good flexibility and transmission efficiency. They can accurately transmit the power of the drive wheel 11 to the driven wheel 13, ensuring that the entire transmission process is smooth and reliable without any jamming.
[0035] Specifically, each of the two driven wheels 13 is internally fixedly connected to a lead screw 14, and each of the two lead screws 14 is externally threadedly connected to a slider 15. When the driven wheels 13 rotate with the drive of the belt 12, the lead screw 14 also rotates synchronously, thereby causing the slider 15 to perform precise linear motion on the lead screw 14. The filling box 1 is externally symmetrically fixedly connected to a limit frame 16, and both sliders 15 are slidably connected to the limit frame 16. The limit frame 16 is made of sturdy metal material, and its internal slide is finely polished, providing a stable and precise guiding effect for the slider 15, effectively preventing the slider 15 from deviating or shaking during movement, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of its movement trajectory.
[0036] Further reference Figure 5 As shown, each of the two limiting frames 16 has a recessed hole 23 at its top, and each of the two sliders 15 has a connecting rod 17 fixedly connected to its top. The connecting rod 17 serves as a bridge connecting the slider 15 and the upper component, possessing good strength and stability. Each of the two connecting rods 17 has a mounting frame 18 fixedly connected through the recessed hole 23 at its top. The mounting frame 18 is made of lightweight yet sturdy alloy material, and its structure is rationally designed, allowing for easy connection and fixation with other components.
[0037] At the same time, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the filling box 1 is symmetrically and detachably equipped with brushes 19. The brushes 19 are nylon brushes that can penetrate deep into the pores of the filter screen 7 to thoroughly clean the solid particles attached to it. Two fixing rods 20 are fixedly connected to the outside of each brush 19. The two fixing rods 20 engage with the mounting frame 18. This engaging connection method facilitates the installation and removal of the brushes 19 and ensures a firm and reliable connection between the brushes 19 and the mounting frame 18 during operation. Through holes 21 are provided on both the two fixing rods 20 and the mounting frame 18. Multiple through holes 21 are threaded with limit pins 22. The presence of the limit pins 22 further strengthens the connection stability between the fixing rods 20 and the mounting frame 18, preventing the brushes 19 from loosening or falling off due to vibration or other factors during device operation. This ensures the continuous and effective cleaning work, facilitating efficient cleaning of the filter screen 7. This device can efficiently complete the filtration and cleaning tasks, providing a solid guarantee for the high-quality filling of laboratory mouse jelly and playing an irreplaceable and important role in the field of biological experimental research.
[0038] The working principle of this solution is as follows:
[0039] First, after the jelly is cooked, pour the jelly into the area surrounded by the filter screen 7. After filling, start the motor 8 to drive the rotating rod 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring rod 10 to rotate, so that the jelly can be filtered faster. At the same time, under the elastic action of the spring 6, the filter screen 7 can filter faster.
[0040] Secondly, after filling is completed, the fixing rod 20 on the brush 19 is inserted into the mounting frame 18, and then the limiting pin 22 is inserted into the through hole 21 to install the brush 19.
[0041] Finally, start the motor 8. The rotation of the motor 8 drives the drive wheel 11 to rotate. The drive wheel 11 drives the driven wheel 13 to rotate through the belt 12, which in turn drives the slider 15 to slide along the lead screw 14, thereby driving the brush 19 to move, which facilitates cleaning the surface of the filter screen 7.

Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, modifications to these features and embodiments can be made to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model.
