Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dog food production technology, specifically a fermentation device for dog food production. Background Technology

[0002] Fermentation is required during the production of dog food, necessitating the use of a dog food fermentation device. A search revealed a patent with application number CN202223178689.6, which discloses a fermentation device for dog food production. This device uses a shovel to clean residual material from the inside of the fermentation chamber and a moving plate to clean residual material from the outer surface of the stirring rod, further improving the device's residue prevention effect. By incorporating these features, it achieves a superior residue cleaning effect, solving the problem of poor residue cleaning in existing dog food fermentation devices.

[0003] The aforementioned device does not mix the dog food evenly during the fermentation process. The mixing force is weaker for the dog food at the edge of the fermentation tank and stronger for the dog food in the middle area of ​​the fermentation tank. Moreover, the mixing force is different for dog food at different heights, which results in some dog food at the edge not being mixed sufficiently. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a fermentation device for dog food production, which solves the problem that existing dog food fermentation equipment does not mix evenly at the edges and center, and the mixing force is also different for dog food at different heights, which easily leads to some dog food at the edges not being fully mixed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fermentation device for dog food production, including a fermentation tank, with multiple support legs fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank, a bottom plate rotatably connected to the inner bottom of the fermentation tank, and a multi-directional stirring component for conveying and stirring dog food horizontally and vertically installed on the top of the bottom plate;

The spiral frame has an opening on the side away from the annular frame.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom stirring assembly includes a cylinder fixedly connected to the top of the bottom plate, and a plurality of pusher plates fixedly connected to the outer side of the cylinder.

[0008] Preferably, the outer side of the annular frame is provided with multiple limiting grooves, and the top of the bottom plate is provided with a limiting post that extends movably into the limiting groove.

A belt is used to drive the output end of the motor and the rotating shaft of the base plate.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder, and a collar is sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod. One side of the collar is provided with a crossbar that extends movably into the inside of the spiral frame. The crossbar is a flexible rubber rod, and a brush head is fixedly connected to the end of the crossbar away from the limiting rod.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the fermenter is equipped with a cover plate, a limiting rod is movable through the cover plate, the top of the cover plate has a round hole adapted to the limiting rod, and multiple buckles for fixing to the fermenter are installed on the outside of the cover plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a fermentation device for dog food production, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0024] To improve the uniformity of stirring in different parts of the fermenter, and thus achieve more even fermentation, Figures 1-5 In one embodiment of this utility model, a fermentation device for dog food production is proposed, including a fermentation tank 1. Multiple support legs 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank 1. A base plate 3 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom of the fermentation tank 1. A multi-directional stirring assembly 4 for horizontal and vertical conveying and stirring of the dog food is installed on the top of the base plate 3. The multi-directional stirring assembly 4 includes a bottom stirring assembly 41 fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the base plate 3. An annular frame 42 is installed on the outer ring of the top of the base plate 3. A spiral frame 43 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular frame 42. The spiral frame 43 has an opening on the side away from the annular frame 42. In use, the dog food to be fermented is poured into the fermentation tank 1, and the dog food ferments inside the fermentation tank 1. During the fermentation process... The device is started, causing the base plate 3 to rotate, which in turn causes the bottom stirring component 41 to stir the dog food from the bottom of the fermentation tank 1. At the same time, the spiral frame 43 rotates, causing the dog food at the bottom edge of the fermentation tank 1 to move upward, forming an effect similar to a vertical spiral elevator, until the dog food at the bottom edge of the base plate 3 is transported to the highest point. Then, the dog food at the highest point of the spiral frame 43 falls from the inner opening to the center of the fermentation tank 1. The spiral frame 43 and the bottom stirring component 41 are used to transport and stir the dog food inside the fermentation tank 1 horizontally and vertically, so that the dog food at the center and the edge, as well as at different heights, can be stirred with the same force, preventing some dog food at the edge from not being stirred sufficiently.

[0025] To stir the dog food at the bottom of fermentation tank 1, refer to... Figure 5The bottom stirring assembly 41 includes a cylinder 411 fixedly connected to the top of the bottom plate 3. Multiple pusher plates 412 are fixedly connected to the outside of the cylinder 411. In use, the rotating bottom plate 3 drives the cylinder 411 to rotate, which in turn drives the pusher plates 412 to rotate. The pusher plates 412 push the dog food at the bottom of the fermentation tank 1 to move, thereby stirring the dog food at the bottom of the fermentation tank 1.

[0026] To facilitate cleaning of the interior of fermenter 1, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The outer side of the annular frame 42 has multiple limiting grooves, and the top of the bottom plate 3 has a limiting post 5 that extends movably into the limiting grooves. In use, the annular frame 42 and the bottom plate 3 are connected by an interlocking mechanism. When in use, the annular frame 42 with the spiral frame 43 is placed on the bottom plate 3, and the limiting grooves on the outer side of the annular frame 42 are precisely engaged with the limiting post 5. Due to the limiting of the limiting post 5, when the bottom plate 3 rotates, it will drive the annular frame 42 and the spiral frame 43 to rotate, thereby lifting the dog food inside the fermentation tank 1 upwards. When the dog food fermentation is complete... When it is necessary to clean the inside of the fermentation tank 1, first remove the dog food inside the fermentation tank 1, then push the ring frame 42 upward. When the ring frame 42 rises, it moves along the limiting post 5 until the ring frame 42 moves to the outside of the fermentation tank 1 and is no longer limited by the limiting post 5. Then clean the inside of the fermentation tank 1 and the inside of the ring frame 42 respectively. This facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the spiral frame 43 inside the fermentation tank 1, and allows the ring frame 42 and the spiral frame 43 to be removed from the outside of the fermentation tank 1 for cleaning, reducing the difficulty of cleaning the inside of the fermentation tank 1.

[0027] In order to drive fermentation tank 1 to stir the dog food inside, refer to Figure 1 A support frame 6 is fixedly connected between the support legs 2. A support plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 6. A motor 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 7. A rotating shaft with one end extending to the outside of the fermentation tank 1 is provided at the bottom of the base plate 3. A belt 9 is connected between the output end of the motor 8 and the rotating shaft of the base plate 3. When in use, the motor 8 drives the base plate 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the multi-directional stirring component 4 to rotate, stirring the dog food inside the fermentation tank 1 from multiple directions.

[0028] To facilitate cleaning the inside of fermenter 1, refer to... Figure 5A limiting rod 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder 411. A collar 11 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod 10. A crossbar 12 is provided on one side of the collar 11, with one end extending movably into the inside of the spiral frame 43. The crossbar 12 is a flexible rubber rod. A brush head 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the crossbar 12 away from the limiting rod 10. In use, after the dog food inside the fermentation tank 1 has finished fermenting, when the inside of the fermentation tank 1 needs simple cleaning, simply put the collar 11 on the outside of the limiting rod 10, and then move the collar 11 downwards, causing the crossbar 12 and brush head 13 to descend to the bottom. During this process, when the crossbar 12 passes through the spiral frame 43, it is squeezed and bent, entering the spiral frame 43. The inside of the spiral frame 43 or after passing through the spiral frame 43 returns to its original state. The motor 8 is started and rotated, and the base plate 3 drives the spiral frame 43 to rotate. The crossbar 12 and brush head 13 extending into the spiral frame 43 are driven by the spiral frame 43. The brush head 13, which rises along the spiral frame 43, continuously rubs the inner wall of the spiral frame 43 to clean the inside of the spiral frame 43. After cleaning, the collar 11 and brush head 13 are removed. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the fermentation tank 1, the collar 11 is put on the limiting rod 10, and the original motor 8 of the fermentation tank 1 can drive the brush head 13 to clean the inside of the fermentation tank 1, which reduces the difficulty of cleaning the inside of the fermentation tank 1.

[0029] In order to protect the fermentation process, refer to Figure 1 The top of the fermentation tank 1 is equipped with a cover plate 14, and a limiting rod 10 moves through the cover plate 14. The top of the cover plate 14 has a round hole that matches the limiting rod 10. Multiple buckles 15 for fixing to the fermentation tank 1 are installed on the outside of the cover plate 14. The cover plate 14 is placed on the fermentation tank 1, and then the buckles 15 are fastened to fix the cover plate 14 to the fermentation tank 1. When it is necessary to remove the cover plate 14, it is only necessary to open the buckles 15.
