DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The utility model will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model Figures 1-7 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model are clearly and completely described, and obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0024] As shown in the figure, a dog chew forming and cooling device, comprising a rack 1 and a first fan 2, a conveying chain 3 is arranged on each side plate of the rack 1, and the conveying chain 3 is driven by a motor arranged on the rack 1, a plurality of conveying rollers 4 are arranged between the two conveying chains 3 and are distributed along the movement track of the conveying chain 3, the conveying roller 4 is connected to the two conveying chains 3 through the connecting seat 5 at both ends, the conveying roller 4 is rotatably arranged on the connecting seat 5, the transmission gear 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the conveying roller 4, the transmission rack is arranged on the side plate of the rack 1 and is located below the transmission gear 6 and is engaged with the transmission gear 6, and the first fan 2 is arranged on the rack 1 and is located above the conveying roller 4.
[0025] Specifically, in order to ensure the stability of the conveying roller 4 when moving with the conveying chain 3, a first guide plate 11 and a second guide plate 12 are fixedly connected to each side plate of the rack 1 and are circular around the track of the conveying chain 3, the second guide plate 12 surrounds the first guide plate 11, the guide groove 13 matched with the end of the conveying roller 4 is formed between the first guide plate 11 and the second guide plate 12, and the end of the conveying roller 4 is kept in the guide groove 13.
[0026] The first guide plate 11 and the second guide plate 12 form a sliding cavity 14 communicated with the guide groove 13, and the end of the conveying roller 4 is provided with a limiting ring 41 abutting against the inner wall of the sliding cavity 14 on the side of the guide groove 13.
[0027] In the above structure, when the motor drives the conveying chain 3 to move, the conveying chain 3 drives the conveying rollers 4 to move along the movement track of the conveying chain 3 in a loop. The conveying rollers 4 between the two conveying chains 3 move horizontally while rotating due to the engagement of the transmission gears 6 and the transmission racks, and the dog chew is fed to the conveying rollers 4. The dog chew falls into the space between the two adjacent conveying rollers 4. The horizontal movement of the conveying rollers 4 drives the dog chew to move towards the first fan 2, and the rotating conveying rollers 4 drive the dog chew to rotate by friction, so that the dog chew rotates when passing under the first fan 2. The cold air blown from the first fan 2 is evenly distributed to all surfaces of the dog chew, so that the dog chew is cooled and shaped more evenly and quickly. The guide groove 13 between the first guide plate 11 and the second guide plate 12 guides the conveying rollers 4 to move and rotate stably, ensuring that the conveying rollers 4 can drive the dog chew to move and rotate stably, thereby ensuring the uniform and rapid shaping and cooling effect. The limiting ring 41 abutting against the inner wall of the sliding cavity 14 limits the movement of the conveying rollers 4 in the axial direction, preventing the conveying rollers 4 from moving in the axial direction and ensuring that the conveying rollers 4 can drive the dog chew to move and rotate stably, thereby ensuring the uniform and rapid shaping and cooling effect.
[0028] In addition, the conveying roller 4 is provided with an anti-skid sleeve 7 made of rubber material. When the dog chew falls between the two adjacent conveying rollers 4, it contacts the anti-skid sleeve 7, which increases the friction between the conveying roller 4 and the dog chew, thereby ensuring that the conveying roller 4 can drive the dog chew to move and rotate simultaneously, and ensuring the uniform and rapid shaping and cooling effect.
[0029] In addition, the conveying roller 4 is provided with an anti-skid sleeve 7 made of rubber material. When the dog chew falls between the two adjacent conveying rollers 4, it contacts the anti-skid sleeve 7, which increases the friction between the conveying roller 4 and the dog chew, thereby ensuring that the conveying roller 4 can drive the dog chew to move and rotate simultaneously, and ensuring the uniform and rapid shaping and cooling effect.
[0030] In addition, the conveying roller 4 is hollow and penetrates to one end, a plurality of air inlets 15 are arranged on the side plate of the rack 1 and communicate with the sliding cavity 14 on the same side of the opening end of the conveying roller 4, a plurality of second air fans 8 are arranged on the rack 1 and communicate with the air inlets 15 one by one, a plurality of first air outlets 43 and second air outlets 72 are arranged on the conveying roller 4 and the anti-skid sleeve 7 and are aligned with each other, when the dog chew is moved and rotated by the conveying roller 4 and passes below the first air fan 2, the cold air blown by the second air fan 8 enters the sliding cavity 14 through the air inlets 15, the cold air in the sliding cavity 14 enters the conveying roller 4 through the opening end of the conveying roller 4 and is blown to the dog chew placed between two adjacent conveying rollers 4 through the first air outlets 43 and the second air outlets 72, so as to play a role of auxiliary cooling, thereby further ensuring the uniform and rapid shaping and cooling effect of the dog chew.
[0031] In addition, the rack 1 is provided with a feeding guide plate 9 located above the first section of the conveying chain 3 and a discharging guide plate 10 located on one side of the tail end of the conveying chain 3, the feeding guide plate 9 is connected with the discharging end of the extrusion molding machine in the previous sequence and guides the dog chew after shaping and cutting to the conveying roller 4 to realize feeding, the discharging guide plate 10 is connected with the conveying belt in the subsequent sequence and guides the dog chew after shaping and cooling to realize discharging, so as to realize the connection and cooperation of each process in the production line.
[0032] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
