Detailed Implementation

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-9 .

[0034] To address the problems of existing technologies that only have a single drawer for drying, making it inconvenient to dry pet food in batches and resulting in low processing efficiency, and the fact that food residue can fall inside the drying chamber or onto the heating elements during the drying process, causing contamination and making cleaning difficult, this solution provides a pet food processing and drying equipment with high drying efficiency. The equipment includes a drying chamber 1, a cover plate 7, and a heating assembly located at the right end of the drying chamber 1. The heating assembly includes a heating box 4, a fan 5, and a heating device 6. A connecting plate 8 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the cover plate 7, and a holding assembly 11 is evenly spaced in the middle of the connecting plate 8. The holding assembly 11 includes a chip collection tray 12 fixed to the inside of the connecting plate 8, a perforated drying drawer 13, and a combination of a cooperating and supporting fixing rod 14 and a fixing column 15.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a fixed bracket 2 is fixed to the lower end of the drying chamber 1, and a caster 3 is provided at the lower end of the fixed bracket 2. First, the drying chamber 1 is moved to the corresponding processing location by the caster 3. Then, the equipment is connected to the power supply. Next, the pet food to be dried is evenly spread on the drying tray 13. Moreover, multiple sets of the holding components 11 are provided to facilitate batch drying of food. Then, the drying tray 13 drives the fixing rod 14 to be inserted into the fixing column 15, so that the drying tray 13 is located above the chip collection tray 12. Then, the cover plate 7 drives the connecting plate 8 and the holding components 11 to be inserted into the drying chamber 1, so that the bottom of the connecting plate 8 is engaged with the connecting block 10 fixed to the output end of the geared motor 9. The fixing mechanisms at both ends of the cover plate 7 limit the distance between the cover plate 7 and the drying box 1. An air outlet is provided on the left side of the cover plate 7. Then, the fan 5 and the heating device 6 are started. The heating device 6 heats the air blown out by the fan 5 and blows the hot air onto the food inside the drying tray 13 for drying. During the drying process, the reduction motor 9 is started. The reduction motor 9 drives the connecting block 10 to drive the connecting plate 8 to rotate at the lower end of the cover plate 7. At the same time, the lower edge of the connecting block 10 is provided with ball bearings. The ball bearings roll on the inner wall at the lower end of the drying box 1. The connecting plate 8 drives the holding component 11 to rotate slowly in the drying box 1, so that the food in the drying tray 13 can fully and evenly contact the hot air.

[0036] The connection between the fixing rod 14 and the fixing column 15 creates a gap between the drying tray 13 and the chip collection tray 12, allowing hot air to pass through. The hot air can then enter the interior of the drying tray 13 through the holes on the bottom and sides to fully dry the food. The chip collection tray 12 is located at the lower end of the drying tray 13, and its diameter is larger than that of the drying tray 13. Therefore, when the chips and residues fall through the holes in the drying tray 13, they can be collected by the chip collection tray 12, preventing them from falling into the drying chamber 1 and contaminating it.

[0037] After the drying process is complete, disconnect the power supply. Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, rotating the fixing bolt 20 loosens the limit between the auxiliary plate 18 and the positioning plate 19, and then pulling the movable block 17 causes the movable block 17 to slide between the track 16. The movable block 17 causes the auxiliary plate 18 and the positioning plate 19 to move apart, thereby loosening the limit between the cover plate 7 and the drying box 1. Then, the cover plate 7 is pulled upward, and the cover plate 7 causes the connecting plate 8 and the holding assembly 11 to move out of the drying box 1. The bottom of the connecting plate 8 is separated from the connecting block 10, and then the drying tray 13 is moved away from the top of the chip collection tray 12, thus making it easier to take out the food.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
