Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cat treat feeding aids, and in particular to a dispensing nozzle structure with adjustable cat treat flow rate. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the pet economy, pet food processing equipment has gradually become an important part of the pet supplies market. Among these, cat treats, a favorite snack for cats, require processing and molding equipment that plays a crucial role in pet food production. However, existing cat treat extrusion molding devices still have shortcomings in terms of discharge flow rate adjustment and extrusion completeness, requiring urgent improvement.
[0003] Currently available cat treat extrusion devices typically use a fixed discharge port design, which cannot flexibly adjust the flow rate according to actual needs, easily leading to material waste. Furthermore, due to the lack of effective fixing and squeezing mechanisms during the extrusion process, existing devices often result in significant food residue inside the cat treats, low extrusion efficiency, and laborious operation. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an adjustable cat treat flow rate dispensing nozzle structure. By rotating the first rotating rod, a rotating plate is driven to rotate via a worm gear and a second rotating rod, changing the overlap between the orifice and the dispensing port, thus adjusting the cat treat flow rate and preventing waste. The upper and lower housings press the cat treat together, moving the first moving rod to expel the food, resulting in thorough expulsion, reduced effort, and less residue.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable cat treat flow rate dispensing nozzle structure, comprising a cavity, a feeding plate fixedly connected to the front end of the cavity, a dispensing port provided on the front side of the cavity, a rotating plate connected to the inside of the cavity via a rotating assembly, a bag opening fixedly connected to the rear end of the cavity, an upper box rotatably connected to the upper outer wall of the bag opening, a lower box rotatably connected to the lower outer wall of the bag opening, an upper pressure strip fixedly connected to the inner wall of the front end of the upper box, a sliding groove provided at the upper end of the upper box, a first moving rod slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove, a sliding plate fixedly connected to the lower end of the first moving rod, the sliding plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the upper box, an upper clamping plate fixedly connected to the rear end of the upper box, a lower pressure strip fixedly connected to the inner wall of the front end of the lower box, a lower clamping plate fixedly connected to the rear end of the lower box, and an upper clamping plate connected to the upper end of the lower clamping plate via a limiting assembly.
[0006] Furthermore, the rotating assembly includes a first rotating rod rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cavity, a worm gear fixedly connected to one end of the first rotating rod, a worm wheel meshing with the worm gear, a second rotating rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the worm wheel, and a rotating plate fixedly connected to one side of the second rotating rod.
[0007] Furthermore, a circular hole is provided on the rotating plate, and the rotating plate is rotatably connected to the cavity.
[0008] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a second movable rod slidably connected to the inner wall of the upper clamping plate, a movable block fixedly connected to one end of the second movable rod, a spring provided on the front side of the movable block, and a locking block fixedly connected to the rear side of the lower end of the movable block, the locking block engaging with the lower end of the lower clamping plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the second rotating rod is rotatably connected to the cavity.
[0010] Furthermore, the front end of the spring is connected to the inner wall of the upper clamping plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the movable block and the lower clamping plate are slidably connected.
[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. In this invention, rotating the first rotating rod drives the worm gear to rotate, and the worm gear meshes with the worm wheel, causing the worm wheel to rotate accordingly. The rotation of the worm wheel drives the second rotating rod to rotate as well, which in turn causes the rotating plate to rotate. Because the portion of the hole on the rotating plate that overlaps with the discharge port changes, the flow rate of the cat bar can be adjusted in this way, avoiding waste.
[0014] 2. In this invention, the upper and lower pressure strips tightly press the open end of the cat treat against the outer wall of the bag opening, while the tail end of the cat treat is securely clamped between the upper and lower clamping plates. Next, moving the first moving rod causes the sliding plate to slide forward, thus pushing the food inside the cat treat forward. This design ensures more thorough extrusion of the cat treat, effectively reducing residue, avoiding unnecessary waste, and saving effort during the extrusion process. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The present invention provides an embodiment of a cat treat dispensing nozzle structure with adjustable flow rate, comprising a cavity 1, a feeding plate 2 fixedly connected to the front end of the cavity 1, a dispensing port 3 provided on the front side of the cavity 1, a first rotating rod 5 rotatably connected inside the cavity 1, a worm gear 8 fixedly connected to one end of the first rotating rod 5, a worm wheel 7 meshing with the worm gear 8, a second rotating rod 6 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the worm wheel 7, the second rotating rod 6 being rotatably connected to the cavity 1, a rotating plate 4 fixedly connected to one side of the second rotating rod 6, a circular hole provided on the rotating plate 4, the rotating plate 4 being rotatably connected to the cavity 1.
[0026] Specifically, the extruded cat treats pass through the holes in the rotating plate 4 and are finally extruded from the outlet 3, landing on the food tray 2. Rotating the first rotating rod 5 drives the worm gear 8 to rotate, which meshes with the worm wheel 7, causing the worm wheel 7 to rotate as well. The rotation of the worm wheel 7 drives the second rotating rod 6 to rotate as well, thus causing the rotating plate 4 to rotate as well. Because the overlap between the holes in the rotating plate 4 and the outlet 3 changes, the flow rate of the cat treats can be adjusted in this way, avoiding waste.
[0027] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The rear end of the cavity 1 is fixedly connected to a bag opening 9. The upper outer wall of the bag opening 9 is rotatably connected to an upper box body 10. The lower outer wall of the bag opening 9 is rotatably connected to a lower box body 11. The inner wall of the front end of the upper box body 10 is fixedly connected to an upper pressure strip 12. The upper end of the upper box body 10 is provided with a sliding groove 21. The inner wall of the sliding groove 21 is slidably connected to a first moving rod 13. The lower end of the first moving rod 13 is fixedly connected to a sliding plate 14. The sliding plate 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the upper box body 10.
[0028] Specifically, the open end of the cat treat is placed over the outer wall of the bag opening 9, and then the upper box 10 and lower box 11 are closed towards the center. During this process, the upper pressure strip 12 and lower pressure strip 22 tightly press the open end of the cat treat against the outer wall of the bag opening 9, while the tail end of the cat treat is firmly clamped between the upper clamping plate 15 and the lower clamping plate 16. Next, the first moving rod 13 is moved, which drives the sliding plate 14 to slide forward, thereby pushing the food inside the cat treat forward. This design ensures that the cat treat is extruded more thoroughly, effectively reducing residue, avoiding unnecessary waste, and making the extrusion process more labor-saving.
[0029] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The upper box 10 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the upper clamping plate 15. The lower box 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the front end of the lower box 11 and the lower clamping plate 16 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the lower box 11. The inner wall of the upper clamping plate 15 is slidably connected to the second moving rod 17. One end of the second moving rod 17 is fixedly connected to the moving block 18. The moving block 18 and the lower clamping plate 16 are slidably connected. A spring 20 is provided on the front side of the moving block 18. The front end of the spring 20 is connected to the inner wall of the upper clamping plate 15. A locking block 19 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the lower end of the moving block 18. The locking block 19 is engaged with the lower end of the lower clamping plate 16.
[0030] Specifically, once all the food has been squeezed out of the cat treat, simply press the second moving lever 17. The second moving lever 17 will push the moving block 18 to move in the direction of compression of the spring 20. During the movement, the moving block 18 will also move the locking block 19, causing the locking block 19 to disengage from the locking state of the lower clamping plate 16. At this point, the upper box 10 and the lower box 11 can be easily separated, and the squeezed cat treat can be taken out.
[0031] Working principle: First, the open end of the cat treat is fitted onto the outer wall of the bag opening 9. Then, by closing the upper box 10 and lower box 11, the open end of the cat treat is firmly clamped to the outer wall of the bag opening 9 using the upper pressure strip 12 and lower pressure strip 22. At the same time, the tail end of the cat treat is precisely clamped between the upper clamping plate 15 and the lower clamping plate 16, ensuring the stability of the extrusion process. When it is necessary to extrude the food from the cat treat, simply push the first moving rod 13. Through the transmission action of the sliding plate 14, the food in the cat treat is forced forward and evenly extruded. By rotating the first rotating rod 5, the worm gear 8 is driven. The worm gear 8 meshes with the worm wheel 7, driving the second rotating rod 6 to rotate, thereby changing the position of the hole on the rotating plate 4 and the discharge port 3. Simply press the second moving rod 17, which will push the moving block 18 to move in the direction of compression of the spring 20. During the movement of the moving block 18, it will drive the locking block 19 to move together, so that the locking block 19 is disengaged from the locking state of the lower clamping plate 16. At this time, the upper box 10 and the lower box 11 can be easily separated and the squeezed cat strips can be taken out.
[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
