Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet food processing technology, and in particular to a mixing device for highly digestible pet food formulas. Background Technology

[0002] Different pet foods have different nutritional components and digestible properties. Mixing various pet foods can make the nutritional composition more comprehensive and balanced, and also help improve overall digestibility.

[0003] For example, CN221310423U discloses a pet food processing and mixing device, which includes a lower shell, an upper shell, a stirring rod, and a chopping component.

[0004] However, in existing technologies, different raw materials have different characteristics. For example, meat raw materials have high moisture content and soft texture, while grain raw materials are dry and granular. Traditional mixing equipment is difficult to mix the two evenly, resulting in uneven distribution of nutrients in pet food, which affects digestion and absorption. During the mixing process, some equipment is prone to local accumulation of raw materials due to the single stirring method, which cannot be fully mixed. Moreover, the mixing time is long and the efficiency is low. Furthermore, excessive stirring can destroy heat-sensitive nutrients, such as vitamins, reducing the digestibility and nutritional value of the food. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the technology where traditional mixing equipment is difficult to mix the two materials evenly, resulting in uneven distribution of nutrients in pet food, affecting digestion and absorption, and during the mixing process, some equipment is prone to local accumulation of raw materials due to the single stirring method, which cannot be fully mixed. Therefore, a highly digestible pet food formula mixing equipment is proposed.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a highly digestible pet food formula mixing device, comprising a mixing cylinder, a fixed frame fixedly connected to the top of the mixing cylinder, and a movable mechanism installed on the top of the fixed frame;

[0007] The movable mechanism includes a mounting frame, a first support block fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting frame, a first rotating rod rotatably connected to the inner side of the first support block, a drive rod fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first rotating rod, a drive block fixedly connected to the bottom of one end of the drive rod, a second support block fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting frame, a second rotating rod rotatably connected to the inner side of the second support block, a swing rod fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second rotating rod, a drive hole opened on the inner side of the swing rod, and the inner side of the drive hole slidably connected to the drive block.

[0008] Preferably, a third support block is fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the mounting bracket, and an active rod is rotatably connected to the inner side of the third support block.

[0009] Preferably, a stirring rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the active rod, and multiple stirring blades are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the stirring rod.

[0010] Preferably, a force-bearing rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the top end of the active rod, and a force-bearing block is fixedly connected to the top of one end of the force-bearing rod.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the force-bearing block is located inside the drive hole, and the force-bearing block is slidably connected to the drive hole.

[0012] Preferably, a door panel is rotatably connected to one side of the bottom end of the mixing cylinder.

[0013] Preferably, a geared motor is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting bracket, and the output end of the geared motor is fixedly connected to the first rotating rod.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, the synchronous directional movement of the stirring rod is achieved by the alternating rotation of the force rod, which effectively avoids the agglomeration or stratification of raw materials due to unidirectional movement during the mixing process. With the periodic change of the stirring direction, various raw materials in the mixing drum can be evenly distributed, significantly improving the mixing effect, shortening the mixing time, and improving the overall uniformity and quality. This device not only improves the mixing efficiency, but also reduces the residue inside the equipment, simplifies the cleaning process, extends the service life of the equipment, and reduces the maintenance frequency. Through this efficient and stable stirring method, the high-quality and uniform production of pet food is ensured.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, the first rotating rod is driven to rotate continuously by a geared motor, which in turn drives the driving block to make circular motion, generating the swinging rod to swing left and right. Due to the periodic motion of the swinging rod, the force direction of the force block and the force rod changes continuously, which in turn affects the rotation mode of the stirring rod, causing it to produce multi-dimensional trajectories such as alternating rotation, tilting rotation or compound motion. This complex motion mode can effectively break the aggregation of materials, promote the full tumbling and cross-mixing of materials, and improve the mixing uniformity and mixing efficiency.

[0022] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0024] Example 1: As Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a highly digestible pet food formula mixing device, including a mixing cylinder 1, a fixed frame 2 fixedly connected to the top of the mixing cylinder 1, and a movable mechanism 4 installed on the top of the fixed frame 2;

[0025] The active mechanism 4 includes a mounting frame 41. A first support block 42 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting frame 41. A first rotating rod 43 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the first support block 42. A drive rod 45 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first rotating rod 43. A drive block 451 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one end of the drive rod 45. A second support block 441 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting frame 41. A second rotating rod 443 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the second support block 441. A swing rod 44 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second rotating rod 443. A drive hole 442 is opened on the inner side of the swing rod 44. The inner side of the drive hole 442 is slidably connected to the drive block 451.

[0026] A third support block 48 is fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the mounting bracket 41, and an active rod 46 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the third support block 48.

[0027] The specific settings and functions of this embodiment will be described in detail below. When mixing pet food, the various raw materials are first poured into the mixing cylinder 1 in sequence.

[0028] When the first rotating rod 43 begins to rotate, its rotational motion is transmitted to the drive rod 45 through the linkage mechanism, causing the drive rod 45 to rotate around its own axis. During this process, the drive block 451 at one end of the drive rod 45 begins to apply a force to the swing rod 44, causing the swing rod 44 to undergo periodic swinging motion under the action of external force. As the swing rod 44 swings back and forth, the drive hole 442 at its end applies a force to the force-receiving block 471, causing the force-receiving block 471 to move accordingly, and further driving the force-receiving rod 47 to swing accordingly.

[0029] During its oscillation, the force-bearing rod 47 generates an alternating clockwise and counterclockwise rotation pattern. This motion characteristic effectively drives the drive rod 46 and the stirring rod 6 to rotate synchronously. Due to the alternating rotation of the force-bearing rod 47, the drive rod 46 and the stirring rod 6 will also change direction and stir in the same way, so that the raw materials inside the mixing cylinder 1 will not rotate in a single direction for a long time, but the mixing effect is enhanced by periodically changing the stirring direction.

[0030] During this process, the stirring rod 6 not only achieves thorough mixing but also prevents the raw materials from agglomerating or separating due to unidirectional movement. The continuous changes in stirring direction allow the different components of the raw materials to be more evenly distributed throughout the mixing drum 1, significantly improving the mixing effect, shortening the mixing time, and ultimately enhancing the overall uniformity and quality of the pet food. Furthermore, the stirring method of this device reduces residue inside the equipment, making cleaning easier and improving the equipment's lifespan and maintenance efficiency.

[0031] Example 2: Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a stirring rod 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the drive rod 46, and multiple stirring blades 61 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the stirring rod 6. A force-bearing rod 47 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the top end of the drive rod 46, and a force-bearing block 471 is fixedly connected to the top of one end of the force-bearing rod 47. The top of the force-bearing block 471 is located inside the drive hole 442, and the force-bearing block 471 is slidably connected to the drive hole 442. A door panel 5 is rotatably connected to one side of the bottom end of the mixing cylinder 1. A reduction motor 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting bracket 41, and the output end of the reduction motor 3 is fixedly connected to the first rotating rod 43.

[0032] The overall effect of this embodiment is that, when the geared motor 3 is running, it can drive the first rotating rod 43 to rotate continuously. During the rotation, the drive rod 45, through its connection with the drive block 451, causes the drive block 451 to move in a circular motion along a fixed trajectory. When the drive block 451 moves, it will slide relative to the drive hole 442.

[0033] Since the first rotating rod 43 rotates around itself during its movement, and the radius of the circular motion trajectory of the driving block 451 is much smaller than the length of the swing rod 44, when the driving block 451 moves, it will cause the swing rod 44 to swing under the action of force, making it move back and forth. This swing will further change the direction of the force transmitted to the force-receiving block 471, causing the force-receiving block 471 to produce a changing force effect at different angles. Since the force-receiving block 471 is connected to the force-receiving rod 47, the movement mode of the force-receiving rod 47 also changes accordingly, thereby affecting the rotation direction and mode of the stirring rod 6.

[0034] During this process, due to the continuous oscillation of the swing rod 44, the stirring rod 6 does not only rotate in a single direction, but can also generate multi-dimensional motion trajectories under different torques, such as alternating rotation, tilting rotation, or compound motion. This complex motion mode allows the materials to be fully tumbled and cross-mixed during the stirring process, thereby improving the mixing uniformity and efficiency, and ensuring the full integration of the materials.

[0035] The device's operation and working principle are as follows: When mixing pet food, the raw materials are poured into the mixing drum 1. The rotation of the first rotating rod 43 drives the drive rod 45 to rotate, causing the drive block 451 at one end of the drive rod 45 to apply force to the swing rod 44, thus causing the swing rod 44 to swing. During the swinging process, the swing rod 44 applies force to the force-receiving block 471 through the drive hole 442. The force-receiving block 471 drives the force-receiving rod 47 to move together, causing the force-receiving rod 47 to rotate alternately clockwise and counterclockwise, thereby controlling the drive rod 46 and the stirring rod 6 to rotate in the same manner. Changing the stirring direction during the mixing process improves the mixing effect and efficiency.

[0036] When the geared motor 3 is running, it drives the first rotating rod 43 to rotate continuously. The driving rod 45 drives the driving block 451 to continuously perform circular motion, sliding relative to the driving hole 442. Simultaneously, because the first rotating rod 43 rotates around its center during movement, the radius of the circular motion trajectory of the driving block 451 is much smaller than the length of the swing rod 44. Therefore, the swing rod 44 begins to swing left and right after being subjected to force, changing the direction of the force. This changes the direction of the force on the force-bearing block 471, thereby altering the rotation mode of the force-bearing rod 47 and the stirring rod 6, further complicating the stirring process and improving the mixing effect.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
