Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cat litter production technology, specifically to an automated humidity control system for cat litter production. Background Technology
[0002] Cat litter is a cleaning product used to replace cat feces. It is usually made of a mixture of materials such as wood chips, pebbles, sand, and natural fibers, or it can be a chemically synthesized powder or granules. The main function of cat litter is to convert cat feces into a solid substance for easy cleaning and disposal. The main components of cat litter include harmless agents, absorbents, and bactericides to ensure the safety and hygiene of cat litter use. In addition, cat litter should be changed and cleaned regularly to avoid polluting the environment or spreading diseases.
[0003] In the production of cat litter, bentonite is a key raw material, and the uniformity of its moisture content is crucial to the quality of the litter. However, existing automated moisture control systems have shortcomings in processing bentonite, mainly manifested in uneven spraying. This leads to inconsistent bentonite moisture content, which in turn affects the litter's molding effect and absorbency. Furthermore, existing systems often lack a filtration mechanism for impurities in the water, allowing these impurities to easily mix with the bentonite. This not only reduces the purity of the cat litter but may also affect its overall performance and user experience. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated humidity control system for cat litter production to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

A horizontally arranged drain pipe 7 is connected to one side of the filter cylinder 6, which facilitates the discharge of impurities filtered out by the filter cylinder 6. A valve 8 is installed on the outside of the drain pipe 7, which facilitates the control of the opening and closing of the drain pipe 7. A spraying mechanism 9 is installed inside the frame 2, which facilitates the adjustment of the moisture content of the bentonite used for cat litter.
[0023] The spraying mechanism 9 includes a water pump 91 installed at the top of the frame 2, with the water inlet of the water pump 91 connected to the inner wall of the water storage tank 5. By installing the water pump 91, water from the water storage tank 5 can be easily transported to the water guide pipe 92. The water outlet of the water pump 91 is connected to the vertically installed water guide pipe 92. By installing the water guide pipe 92, water can be easily transported to the water delivery pipe 93. The bottom end of the water guide pipe 92 is connected to the water delivery pipe 93.
