Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of temperature control device technology, specifically a temperature control device for a pet food production workshop. Background Technology
[0002] In the pet food manufacturing industry, with the diversification of market demand and the continuous increase in pet breeds, the particle size specifications of pet food are also becoming increasingly diverse. Different particle sizes of pet food have different requirements in production processes, transportation, and processing, especially in stages involving temperature control and material conveying, posing greater challenges to the adaptability of equipment. Currently, the temperature control devices in existing pet food production workshops are often structurally fixed. Components used for leveling or shaping pet food, such as scrapers, are usually in fixed positions and lack flexible and effective adjustment mechanisms. When producing pet food with different particle sizes, numerous problems arise because the scraper positions cannot be adjusted.
[0003] However, existing temperature control devices in pet food production workshops have some drawbacks in practical use: For pet food with small particle size, fixed scrapers may not be able to accurately level and organize the feed, resulting in uneven accumulation of feed on the conveyor belt. In some areas, the feed may be too thick, making it difficult for the air blown by the temperature and humidity controller to penetrate the feed layer evenly. This can cause localized overheating or underheating, affecting the temperature control effect and potentially leading to localized mold or spoilage, thus reducing feed quality. For pet food with larger particle size, fixed scrapers may have too small a spacing, causing excessive compression of the feed during transport, leading to feed breakage. This not only damages the original shape and nutritional components of the feed but also increases dust generation, polluting the production environment and increasing the difficulty and cost of subsequent equipment cleaning.
[0004] To address this issue, we designed a temperature control device for pet food production workshops. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a constant temperature device for pet food production workshops to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

A snap-fit block is fixedly connected to the outer arc wall of the rotating shaft. A groove is provided on the outer side wall of the scraper, and multiple limiting blocks are linearly and evenly arranged in the groove. The snap-fit block cooperates with the limiting blocks to fix the scraper.
[0008] Furthermore, a torsion spring is fixedly connected to the outer arc wall of the rotating shaft.
[0009] Furthermore, the protective shell has a movable opening on the side wall away from the insulation chamber, and a pull rod is fixedly connected to one side of the locking block, with one end of the pull rod extending to the outside through the movable opening.
[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the insulation chamber is fixedly connected to a guide rail, and the scraper is slidably installed inside the guide rail, with the scraper slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide rail.

[0022] 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.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a constant temperature device for a pet food production workshop, including a support base 1, a conveyor belt 2 on the support base 1, a heat preservation chamber 3 fixedly connected to the top of the support base 1, a feeding hopper 4 on the top of the heat preservation chamber 3, a temperature and humidity regulator 5 on one side of the conveyor belt 2, the air outlet of the temperature and humidity regulator 5 being connected to the interior of the heat preservation chamber 3, a scraper 6 being slidably inserted on the heat preservation chamber 3, a protective shell 7 fixedly connected to one side of the heat preservation chamber 3, a snap-fit component being provided inside the protective shell 7, an air inlet 16 being opened on the side wall of the heat preservation chamber 3 near the temperature and humidity regulator 5, and a ventilation duct 17 being provided between the air outlet and the air inlet 16 of the temperature and humidity regulator 5.
[0024] The snap-fit assembly includes a rotating shaft 8, which is rotatably mounted on the inner side wall of the protective shell 7. A snap-fit block 9 is fixedly connected to the outer arc wall of the rotating shaft 8. A groove 10 is provided on the outer side wall of the scraper 6. Multiple limiting blocks 11 are linearly and evenly arranged in the groove 10. The snap-fit block 9 and the limiting block 11 cooperate to fix the scraper 6.
[0025] In practice, the operator can feed the pet food from the feed hopper 4 onto the conveyor belt 2, and use the air outlet of the temperature and humidity controller 5 to blow air at a suitable temperature to maintain a constant temperature. In order to prevent localized mold growth or overheating of the pet food and improve product quality stability, it is necessary to flatten the pet food that is stuck together. When it is necessary to transport pet food of different particle sizes, it is necessary to adjust the space under the scraper 6. At this time, the locking block 9 can be rotated, thereby releasing the locking block 9 from limiting the limiting block 11 and the scraper 6, so that the scraper 6 can be moved downward.
[0026] See Figure 4 A torsion spring 12 is fixedly connected to the outer arc wall of the rotating shaft 8. After the scraper 6 is moved to the optimal position, the torsion spring 12 will lock the locking block 9 into the limiting block 11, thereby limiting the limiting block 11 and the scraper 6 and completing the adjustment.
[0027] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The protective shell 7 has a movable opening 13 on the side wall away from the insulation chamber 3. A pull rod 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the locking block 9. One end of the pull rod 14 extends to the outside through the movable opening 13. A through groove 18 is provided at the top of the scraper 6. The pull rod 14 and the through groove 18 are operating parts that are in direct contact with people during adjustment. Their operation method conforms to people's daily usage habits and is intuitive and easy to understand.
[0028] See Figure 3 The inner wall of the insulation chamber 3 is fixedly connected to a guide rail 15, and the scraper 6 is slidably installed in the guide rail 15. The scraper 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide rail 15. The scraper 6 and the guide rail 15 cooperate with each other to effectively limit the movement direction of the scraper 6, improve the stability and accuracy of the scraper 6 movement, and at the same time reduce friction and reduce the wear of the parts. The insulation chamber 3 adopts a double-layer heat insulation wall, and the interlayer of the insulation chamber 3 is filled with polyurethane foam to reduce heat loss.
[0029] Working principle:
[0030] Operators can feed pet food from the feed hopper 4 onto the conveyor belt 2. The temperature is regulated by blowing air at a suitable temperature through the outlet of the temperature and humidity controller 5 to maintain a constant temperature. To prevent localized mold growth or overheating of the pet food and to improve product quality stability, it is necessary to flatten any pet food that is stuck together. When transporting pet food of different particle sizes, it is necessary to adjust the space under the scraper 6. At this time, the pull rod 14 can be pulled down, which drives the locking block 9 to rotate, thereby releasing the locking block 9 from limiting the limit block 11 and the scraper 6. The scraper 6 can then be moved down to the optimal position. Then, the pull rod 14 is released, and the locking block 9 is locked into the limit block 11 by the torsion spring 12, limiting the limit block 11 and the scraper 6, thus completing the adjustment.
[0031] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
