Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food forming mold technology, and in particular to a pet food stick forming mold. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing number of pet owners, besides the common cats and dogs, many pets now include turtles, fish, birds, and even reptiles like lizards. Feeding is a crucial aspect of pet ownership. Different breeds of pets require different types of food, amounts, frequency, and timing. Furthermore, depending on the pet's eating habits, food sometimes needs to be processed, such as into sticks. Food sticks are shaped and portioned for easy feeding and carrying, and also facilitate portion control. Common food sticks, such as those for cats and dogs, are made by mixing food, extruding it into sticks, and then drying it. This method is only suitable for processing food into powder or porridge form. For processing where the original shape and texture of the raw materials need to be preserved, such as nuts for some mammals or plant seeds for birds, this process is difficult to achieve. Therefore, a method is needed to process block or granular food into sticks to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. In the following detailed description, only certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications can be made to the described embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are illustrative in nature and not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

[0016] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a pet food stick molding mold includes a middle mold body 1, an upper mold body 2 located above the middle mold body 1, and a lower mold body 3 located below the middle mold body 1. The middle mold body 1 has a through-hole molding cavity 11. The upper mold body 2 is fixedly provided with an upper punch 21 extending into the upper end of the molding cavity 11. The lower mold body 3 is fixedly provided with a lower punch 31 extending into the lower end of the molding cavity 11. The upper punch 21, the lower punch 31, and the molding cavity 11 work together to form the food stick. The cross-sectional shape of the upper punch 21 is at least adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the upper end of the molding cavity 11, and the cross-sectional shape of the lower punch 31 is at least adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the lower end of the molding cavity 11, so that after mold closing, the two punches and the molding cavity 11 form a relatively closed molding space.

[0017] The upper mold body 2 is connected to a molding drive mechanism to realize the feeding drive of the molding process. The molding drive mechanism can be implemented by means of a drive cylinder or a motor in conjunction with transmission, which are common technologies in the field of mold closing drive, and will not be described in detail here and are not shown in the figure.

[0018] In use, the upper punch 21 on the lower mold body 3 extends into the lower end of the forming cavity 11. Food is fed into the forming cavity 11 from the upper end. After feeding, the upper mold body 2 is driven downwards by the molding drive mechanism. The upper punch 21, the lower punch 31, and the forming cavity 11 work together to mold the food into the desired rod shape. This molding method is not limited by the form of the raw material and enables the rod-shaped processing of block or granular food.

[0019] In this embodiment, the mold body 1 has a through-hole 4 for the bone rod located on the side wall of the molding cavity 11. Some pet birds, such as parrots, only peck at the fleshy part inside plant seeds, leaving the outer shell. A bone rod 41 is needed to hang the food stick so that the shed outer shell falls freely, keeping fresh food exposed on the food stick. For this situation where the bone rod 41 needs to be molded together with the food, this embodiment provides the through-hole 4. Before the food is introduced into the molding cavity 11, the part of the bone rod 41 used for connecting with the food is inserted through it. The through-hole 4 is preferably a groove with an upward through-hole opening, facilitating the placement of the bone rod 41 from top to bottom. It also facilitates demolding the food stick after molding and opening the mold by manipulating the part of the bone rod 41 outside the through-hole 4.

[0020] Based on the above demolding method, in this embodiment, an inter-mold connection structure 5 is provided between the lower mold body 3 and the middle mold body 1. The lower mold body 3 and the middle mold body 1 are fixedly connected by the inter-mold connection structure 5, and the lower punch 31 is always kept in the lower end of the molding cavity 11.

[0021] The inter-mold connection structure 5 includes a connecting post 51 fixedly mounted on the lower mold body 3. The connecting post 51 extends through the middle mold body 1, and a plurality of molding adjustment shims 52 are fitted onto the portion of the connecting post 51 located between the lower mold body 3 and the middle mold body 1. The middle mold body 1 presses against the molding adjustment shims 52 under its own weight, forming a fixed connection with the lower mold body 3. Alternatively, a fastening nut 53 can be added to the connecting post 51 on the side of the middle mold body 1 away from the lower mold body 3 to improve the stability of the fixed connection.

[0022] In this embodiment, the middle mold body 1 and the lower mold body 3 are limited by a plurality of molding adjustment shims 52. The number of molding adjustment shims 52 can be easily increased or decreased to adjust the insertion amount of the lower punch 31 into the lower end of the molding cavity 11, thereby adjusting the size of the molding space during molding and achieving versatility for processing food bars of different volumes and weights. Of course, the upper mold body 2 can be directly controlled by the feed amount of the molding drive mechanism to achieve the purpose of adjusting the insertion amount of the upper punch 21 into the upper end of the molding cavity 11.

[0023] This embodiment uses molding to form food into rods, which is not limited by the shape of the raw materials and realizes the rod processing of block or granular food. This embodiment achieves the forming of food rods with bone rods 41 by setting the bone rod insertion port 4. Furthermore, by adjusting the inter-mold connection structure 5 and the feed amount of the molding drive mechanism, it can meet the needs of forming food rods of different volumes and weights, making it flexible and convenient to use.

[0024] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
