Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of monkey food processing technology, specifically a feed dispensing device for gelled monkey food. 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." In many drug or food trials, monkeys are typically chosen as test subjects to obtain experimental results that most closely resemble human responses. Consequently, the demand for laboratory monkeys is enormous, requiring specialized breeding and rearing to obtain monkeys that meet quality standards for animal testing.

[0003] Currently, laboratory monkey food is generally either pelleted feed (obtained through pelleting or extrusion) or homemade steamed cake. Pelleted feed can be mass-produced at a relatively low cost, but it cannot achieve the softness of steamed cake, resulting in differences in palatability. Currently, commercially available gelled monkey food is the only product with a softness similar to steamed cake, but it is usually sold in powder form. Customers need to add water, mix it, refrigerate it, and then cut it into sizes suitable for laboratory monkeys before feeding, which is cumbersome for the client. Since laboratory monkeys are generally fed pelleted feed long-term, considering their dietary welfare and the client's investment of labor and time in gelled monkey food and homemade steamed cake, a ready-made gelled monkey food has been developed as a welfare product for laboratory monkeys, which can also reduce the client's workload. Utility Model Content

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention and to enable those skilled in the art to 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.

[0026] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-6 The diagram shows a feeding device for gelled monkey food, comprising a housing 1, a feeding hopper 2 installed on the top of the housing 1 for pouring raw materials into the housing 1, an installation box 3 installed on the outside of the housing 1 for providing installation space for various components, a mixing box 17 fixedly connected to the top of the installation box 3 for mixing warm water gel, a heating box 18 installed inside the mixing box 17 for precisely controlling the temperature according to the monkey food production process requirements, and further comprising: a processing component 4 installed inside the housing 1 and the installation box 3 for crushing and mixing the feed; a spraying component 5 installed inside the housing 1 and the installation box 3 for assisting the processing component 4; and a pelletizing mechanism 6 installed outside the housing 1 for pelletizing the feed.

[0027] Furthermore, the processing component 4 includes a servo motor 7, which is installed inside the mounting box 3. The servo motor 7 uses a high-precision coupling to be firmly fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 8. The rotating shaft 8 passes through the box 1 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the box 1. Mixing rods 19 are uniformly fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 8. These mixing rods 19 are elongated and their surfaces are specially sanded to increase the friction with the materials. When the servo motor 7 starts running and drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate at high speed, the mixing rods 19 also rotate at high speed, performing all-round and high-intensity mixing of the feed inside the box 1, so that the various raw materials are fully mixed evenly, ensuring the balanced distribution of nutrients in the monkey food.

[0028] For further details, please refer to Figure 3The output end of the servo motor 7 is fixedly connected to a medium gear 9. A small gear 11 is externally meshed with the medium gear 9. A rotating rod 10 is coaxially fixedly connected inside the small gear 11. The rotating rod 10 is rotatably connected to the inner walls of both the housing 1 and the mounting box 3, and bearings are installed on both. This rotatable connection ensures stable and smooth rotation of the rotating rod 10. Specifically, a first helical gear 14 is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating rod 10. A second helical gear 15 is externally meshed with the first helical gear 14. A stirring rod 16 is coaxially fixedly connected to the second helical gear 15. The stirring rod 16 penetrates and extends into the mixing tank 17, and a sealed bearing is installed at the penetration point to ensure the sealing of the mixing tank 17 while allowing the stirring rod 16 to rotate smoothly and rotatably connect to the mixing tank 17. When the servo motor 7 operates, power is transmitted sequentially through the medium gear 9, small gear 11, rotating rod 10, first helical gear 14, and second helical gear 15. The stirring rod 16 is driven to rotate at high speed in the mixing box 17, which efficiently stirs the materials in the box and further promotes the integration of the materials. The small gear 11 is externally meshed with the large gear 12. The small gear 11 and the large gear 12 are coaxially connected to the externally fixed pressure rollers 13. The two pressure rollers 13 are used to crush the feed. When the feed passes between the two pressure rollers 13, as the small gear 11 and the large gear 12 rotate, the pressure rollers 13 squeeze and crush the feed, crushing the larger feed raw materials into fine particles, laying a good foundation for subsequent processing steps.

[0029] Example 2: This embodiment is a further explanation of Example 1, based on... Figures 1-6 As shown, it is worth noting that the middle gear 9 is externally meshed with a lower gear 20, the lower gear 20 is coaxially fixedly connected to an extrusion screw 21, an extrusion cylinder 34 is installed on the outside of the extrusion screw 21, a discharge pipe 23 is installed on the top of the extrusion cylinder 34, a control valve 24 is installed on the outside of the discharge pipe 23, a baffle 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the discharge pipe 23, the baffle 22 is installed inside the housing 1, and one end of the extrusion cylinder 34 is fixedly connected to a strip tube 25 through the housing 1.

[0030] Specifically, the spraying component 5 includes a water pump 26, which is installed inside the mounting box 3. The input end of the water pump 26 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the mixing box 17 via a hose. This hose is made of food-grade rubber to ensure that the transported liquid is not contaminated. The output end of the water pump 26 is fixedly connected to an annular pipe 27 via a pipe. The annular pipe 27 is installed inside the box 1. Spray nozzles 28 are evenly fixedly connected to the bottom of the annular pipe 27. The nozzles are specially polished so that the liquid transported by the water pump 26, such as warm water heated by the heating box 18, or a solution with added specific nutrients, can be evenly sprayed onto the feed being processed. This allows the feed to better absorb water or additives during the mixing and crushing process, optimizing the texture and taste of the feed, and also helps with the subsequent formation of the feed.

[0031] Further reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the pelleting mechanism 6 includes an extension plate 29, which is fixedly installed on the outside of the housing 1. A drive motor 30 is installed on the top of the extension plate 29. A turntable 31 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 30. Round rods 32 are evenly fixedly connected to the outside of the turntable 31. Blades 33 are fixedly connected to the outside of each round rod 32. The blades 33 are spiral blades. There are three sets of round rods 32 and blades 33, which facilitates the pelleting of feed. Both the round rods 32 and blades 33 are made of food-grade stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and hygiene. The blades 33 are close to the forming tube 25 but do not contact each other, but always maintain a certain safe distance to avoid collision. When the feed strips formed by the extrusion cylinder 34 are extruded from the forming tube 25, the drive motor 30 starts, driving the turntable 31 to rotate at high speed, which in turn causes the blades 33 to rotate at high speed. The high-speed rotating blades 33 shape the feed strips into pellets. An extension plate 29 has through-holes inside, and a holding tray is placed at the bottom. Under centrifugal force, the feed falls through the through-holes in the extension plate 29 into the holding tray below. Finally, cornstarch is sprinkled on to prevent sticking. After this anti-sticking treatment, the feed pellets are sterilized using methods such as ultraviolet sterilization or high-temperature steam sterilization to ensure the hygiene and safety of the monkey food. After sterilization, the monkey food is ready for packaging.

[0032] The principle of this scheme is as follows: First, except for the premix, all raw materials are puffed. 0.4% pectin and 0.2% konjac gum are added to warm water according to the water volume. The mixture is poured into the mixing tank 17 and heated in the heating tank 18 to melt evenly. The servo motor 7 is started. The servo motor 7 drives the middle gear 9 to rotate through the rotating shaft 8, which in turn drives the small gear 11 and the rotating rod 10 to rotate. This drives the mixing rod 16 to stir through the first helical gear 14 and the second helical gear 15. At the same time, the puffed raw materials and premix are poured into the box 1 through the feeding hopper 2 for crushing and mixing. The two pressure rollers 13 crush the feed. At the same time, the water pump 26 is started. The warm water with added pectin and konjac gum in the mixing tank 17 is mixed with pure water at a ratio of 2:1 and sprayed evenly through the ring pipe 27 and the nozzle 28. The mixture is then added to the powder. At the same time, the rotating shaft 8 drives the mixing rod 19 to rotate and stir it evenly into a ball.

[0033] Next, the feed enters the extrusion cylinder 34 through the discharge pipe 23 and control valve 24, and is extruded into strips by the extrusion screw 21. The strips are then discharged through the strip tube 25. At the same time, the drive motor 30 is started, which drives the turntable 31 to rotate, thereby adjusting the round rod 32 and the blade 33 to rotate, and then pelletizing the strips of feed.

[0034] Finally, cornstarch is applied to the surface to prevent them from sticking together. The gelled monkey food balls are packaged in a divider box and a light-proof plastic bag, and then vacuum-irradiated until sterile.

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.
