Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed production technology, and in particular to a feed collector and distributor for pet food production. Background Technology

[0002] Pet food production is a core link in the pet food industry chain, encompassing processes such as raw material selection, formula design, mixing and processing, molding and packaging, and quality testing. Its core objective is to meet the nutritional needs and palatability requirements of different pet breeds through scientific formulation and refined processing. As the pet consumer market increasingly demands product diversity and functionality, production processes are gradually upgrading towards automation and flexibility. Among these processes, the dispensing equipment, as a key node connecting production and packaging, plays a crucial role. During feed production, raw materials undergo crushing, puffing, and drying processes to form pellets or wet food. Dispensing equipment must then precisely distribute these pellets to packaging containers according to preset weights, ensuring that each serving meets nutritional standards.

[0003] Traditional feed dispensing devices often suffer from poor feed flowability, leading to clogged feed inlets, or rely on manual adjustment of dispensing volume, resulting in low efficiency and high error rates. They are difficult to adapt to the production needs of rapid switching between multiple formulas, and the single-channel dispensing mode cannot meet the needs of simultaneous dispensing of multiple formulas. Therefore, we propose a feed collector and dispenser for pet food production. Utility Model Content

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a pet food production material collector and distributor, including a box 1, a distribution box 2 on the top of the box 1, a feeding hopper 201 on the top of the distribution box 2, a stirring assembly 3 on the top of the feeding hopper 201, the stirring assembly 3 including a fixing plate 301, a first drive motor 302 on the top of the fixing plate 301, and a stirrer 303 inside the feeding hopper 201. The output end of the first drive motor 302 is connected to one end of the top of the stirrer 303. When pet food is put into the feeding hopper 201 for material distribution and assembly, in order to avoid excessive feed filling and clogging the bottom port of the feeding hopper 201, the first drive motor 302 on the top of the fixing plate 301 is started by the operation of the stirring assembly 3. Its output end drives the stirrer 303 to rotate inside the feeding hopper 201. The stirrer 303 continuously stirs the feed, breaks up lumps of material, and makes the feed move downward evenly, maintaining good fluidity and preventing the feed from accumulating and clogging at the bottom port of the feeding hopper 201.

[0028] The feed distribution box 2 has a first outlet 4 connected to the feed hopper 201. An adjustment component 5 is installed inside the first outlet 4. The adjustment component 5 includes a second drive motor 501. The output end of the second drive motor 501 is connected to a rotating shaft 502 located inside the first outlet 4. An opening / closing plate 503 is sleeved around the rotating shaft 502 and located inside the first outlet 4. When the feed enters the feed distribution box 2 after being processed by the mixing component 3, the second drive motor 501 in the adjustment component 5 drives the rotating shaft 502 to rotate, thereby causing the opening / closing plate 503 to rotate. The opening angle of the opening / closing plate 503 within the first outlet 4 is adjusted by the rotating shaft 502, controlling the opening size of the outlet to regulate the feed flow rate and volume. Example

[0029] like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a feed collector and distributor for pet food production. The feed distribution box 2 has multiple outlet pipes 6, each connected to a first outlet 4. Multiple feed distribution chambers 7 are opened on the front of the feed distribution box 2. Each outlet pipe 6 is equipped with a solenoid valve 601. A second outlet 701 is located at the top of each feed distribution chamber 7 and is connected to the outlet pipe 6. A weighing plate 8 is located at the bottom of each feed distribution chamber 7, and a weighing sensor 801 is installed inside each weighing plate 8. Multiple displays 9 are located on the front of the feed distribution box 2 above the multiple feed distribution chambers 7. A control panel 10 is located on one side of the box body 1, and a double-leaf cabinet door 11 is located on the front of the box body 1. Feed enters the feed distribution box 2 through the first outlet 4 and is then distributed to the multiple outlet pipes 6. The control panel 10 adjusts the flow of feed according to preset formula instructions. The solenoid valve 601 on pipe 6 opens or closes. A packaging box or other carrier is placed in the dispensing chamber 7 to hold the feed. The feed enters the corresponding dispensing chamber 7 through the second outlet 701 and falls into the pre-placed packaging box or other carrier. The weighing plate 8 at the bottom of the dispensing chamber 7 monitors the weight of the feed in real time through the built-in weighing sensor 801 and feeds back to the control panel 10. When the weight of the feed in a single chamber reaches the set value, the solenoid valve 601 closes and switches to the next dispensing chamber 7 to continue feeding. The display screen 9 above the dispensing chamber 7 displays the current weight and dispensing progress simultaneously. The independent operation of multiple dispensing chambers 7 can realize the simultaneous dispensing of different formula feeds into corresponding packaging containers. The linkage control of the solenoid valve 601 and the weighing sensor 801 ensures the dispensing accuracy. The double cabinet door 11 facilitates the replacement of packaging boxes and meets the flexible dispensing needs of multiple varieties of pet food.

[0030] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When using a pet food production feed collector and distributor, after the pet food is put into the feed hopper 201, the first drive motor 302 of the stirring component 3 starts and drives the agitator 303 to rotate, continuously stirring the feed to break up clumps and maintain fluidity, preventing blockage at the bottom of the feed hopper 201; the feed then enters the first outlet 4 of the distribution box 2, and the second drive motor 501 of the adjusting component 5 drives the rotating shaft 502 to drive the opening and closing plate 503 to adjust the opening size according to the distribution requirements, thereby controlling the feed flow rate and flow rate; after the feed is distributed through the first outlet 4 to multiple outlet pipes 6, the control panel 10 adjusts each outlet pipe 6 according to the preset formula instructions. The solenoid valve 601 on the upper part opens and closes, and the feed enters the packaging box or other carrier in the corresponding dispensing chamber 7 through the second outlet 701. The weighing plate 8 at the bottom of the dispensing chamber 7 monitors the weight in real time through the built-in weighing sensor 801 and feeds it back to the control panel 10. When the weight of a single chamber reaches the standard, the solenoid valve 601 closes and switches to the next dispensing chamber 7 for feeding. The display screen 9 displays the current weight and dispensing progress simultaneously. The multiple dispensing chambers 7 operate independently to realize the synchronous dispensing of different formula feeds. The stirring component 3 and the regulating component 5 work together to ensure the stability of feed flow. The solenoid valve 601 and the weighing sensor 801 form a closed-loop control to ensure dispensing accuracy. The double cabinet door 11 facilitates the replacement of packaging containers.

[0031] 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.
