[0025] In actual use, the entire production process is completed within the system, from feeding materials to producing pet baked food. No manual intervention is required, resulting in high production efficiency.
[0026] Example 2
[0027] Based on Embodiment 1, a drying mechanism 21 is provided to improve the production efficiency of the device. A feeder 6 is fixedly installed on the drying mechanism 21, and a bucket elevator 12 is provided on the side of the feeder 6. The bucket elevator 12 is fixedly installed on the tunnel oven 9, and the other end of the tunnel oven 9 is installed on the forming machine 4. A high-speed conditioner 1 is provided above the forming machine 4, and a feeding mechanism 2 is provided on the side of the high-speed conditioner 1. The raw materials are fed into the high-speed conditioner 1 through the feeding mechanism 2. The high-speed conditioner 1 has high mixing uniformity and stable product. The mixed raw materials flow from the outlet of the high-speed conditioner 1 into the forming machine 4 to form the raw materials. The formed products are transferred to the tunnel oven 9 for ripening and shaping, and then moved to the bucket elevator 12. The bucket elevator 12 moves the product to the feeder 6, and the feeder 6 conveys it to the drying mechanism 21 for further drying and ripening, thus completing the production of pet baked food. The entire production process is completed within the entire system. From feeding to producing pet baked food, everything is completed within the system without manual intervention, resulting in high production efficiency.
[0028] Example 3
[0029] To improve the batching efficiency, a feeding hopper 7 is provided based on embodiment 2. A weight sensor 8 is fixedly installed on the feeding hopper 7, and the other end of the weight sensor 8 is fixedly installed on the feed hopper 5 fixedly installed on the screw feeder 3. The feeding hopper 7 is installed on the feed hopper 5, and the weight of the raw materials in the feeding hopper 7 is monitored by the weight sensor 8.
[0030] The feeding hopper 7 is rotatably connected to the upper baffle 10 via a rotating shaft. The upper baffle 10 has a square plate structure and is rotatably connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 11 via a rotating shaft. The electric push rod 11 is rotatably connected to the feeding hopper 7 via a rotating shaft. Raw materials flow into the feeding hopper 7. When the weight of the raw materials in the feeding hopper 7 reaches the threshold, the electric push rod 11 is activated to move the upper baffle 10, causing the upper baffle 10 to rotate. The two upper baffles 10 block the slot at the upper end of the feeding hopper 7, preventing subsequent raw materials from continuing to flow into the feeding hopper 7 and into the feeding hopper 5, which is then transported to the high-speed conditioner 1 by the screw feeder 3, thus preventing errors in the batching ratio and improving the accuracy of batching.
[0031] The threaded hole on the movable plate 14 is threadedly connected to the screw 15. The threads at both ends of the screw 15 are in opposite directions. One end of the screw 15 is rotatably connected to the feeding hopper 7, and the other end is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the motor 16 fixedly installed on the feeding hopper 7. The motor 16 is started to drive the screw 15 to rotate, so that the screw 15 rotates along the threaded hole on the movable plate 14.
[0032] The movable block 17 has a trapezoidal plate structure and is fixedly connected to the lower baffle 13. The lower baffle 13 has a square plate structure and a movable plate 14 is fixedly connected to the side of the lower baffle 13. The movable plate 14 has a trapezoidal plate structure. The limiting rod 19 is inserted into the limiting hole 18 opened on the movable block 17, so that the movable block 17 and the limiting rod 19 are slidably connected. The lower baffle 13 and the movable block 17 slide along the limiting rod 19, and the raw material can fall into the feed hopper 5 and be transported to the high-speed conditioner 1 by the screw feeder 3 for mixing and subsequent processing. The whole process does not require manual intervention. The device automatically dispenses the materials, improves the accuracy of the dispensing, and is easy for personnel to use.
[0033] A fixed plate 20 is fixedly connected to the feeding hopper 7. The fixed plate 20 has a trapezoidal plate structure. A limit rod 19 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 20. The limit rod 19 has a cylindrical structure, and its diameter is equal to the circular groove-shaped limit hole 18 opened on the moving block 17. The above structures work together to realize automatic feeding of pet baked food, eliminating the need for manual feeding, making it easy for personnel to use, accurately controlling the feeding, and significantly improving feeding efficiency.
[0034] Working principle: In actual use, the raw materials are fed into the high-speed conditioner 1 through the feeding mechanism 2 for mixing and stirring. They are then moved into the molding machine 4 for molding, transported to the tunnel oven 9 for ripening and shaping, and finally transported to the drying mechanism 21 for further drying and ripening, thus completing the production of pet baked food. The entire production process is completed within the system, from feeding to producing pet baked food, without the need for manual intervention, resulting in high production efficiency. The weight sensor 8 monitors the weight of the raw materials in the feeding hopper 7. When the weight reaches a predetermined threshold, the lower baffle 13 moves along the limit rod 19, exposing the lower opening of the feeding hopper 7, and the raw materials fall into the screw feeder 3.
