[0031] 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.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-3. One embodiment of this utility model provides an automated pet food mixing device, including a mixing cylinder 1. An L-shaped plate 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the mixing cylinder 1. A servo motor 19 is fixedly connected to the right side of the L-shaped plate 18. A stirring rod 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 19. Stirring blades 14 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stirring rod 11. An L-shaped plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the mixing cylinder 1. A servo motor 6 is fixedly connected to the left side of the L-shaped plate 7. A circular gear 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 6. The outer wall of the circular gear 17 is connected to the inner side of the gear belt 5. The inner middle of the circular gear 17 is fixedly connected to the stirring rod 8. The rear side of the outer wall of the stirring rod 8 is fixedly connected to the chain 13. The front side of the outer wall of the stirring rod 8 is fixedly connected to the blade 12. The front middle of the mixing cylinder 1 is provided with a cleaning mechanism 2.

The top of the outer wall of the feeding pipe 206 is threaded with a circular cover 207. The top of the material box 203 is fixedly connected to the protective plate 204.

[0033] Specifically, an L-shaped plate 18 serves as a support structure, with a servo motor 19 securely fixed to its right side. The servo motor 19 can be stably mounted on the L-shaped plate 18 without vibration or loosening. When the servo motor 19 starts, the rotational motion of its output shaft is directly transmitted to the stirring rod 11, causing the stirring rod 11 to rotate at high speed. An L-shaped plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the mixing cylinder 1, providing a stable mounting platform for the servo motor 6. The outer walls of the two circular gears 17 are connected by the inner meshing of the gear belt 5. A cleaning mechanism 2 is provided in the middle of the front side of the mixing cylinder 1, taking into account the structural characteristics and cleaning requirements of the mixing cylinder 1.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 4-6. The cleaning mechanism 2 includes a connecting plate 208. The rear side of the connecting plate 208 is fixedly connected to the top front side of the mixing cylinder 1. A material box 203 is fixedly connected to the middle front side of the connecting plate 208. A material pump 210 is connected to the bottom of the material box 203. A telescopic pipe 202 is connected to the output end of the material pump 210. A Z-shaped rotating rod 205 is rotatably connected to the bottom right side of the material box 203. A rotating rod 212 is fixedly connected to one end of the Z-shaped rotating rod 205. A prying blade 211 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 212. Z-shaped plates 3 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the mixing cylinder 1. A bottom plate 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the Z-shaped plate 3.

[0035] Specifically, a connecting plate 208 is used as a device, with its rear side fixedly connected to the top front side of the mixing cylinder 1 by bolts, ensuring that the connecting plate 208 can be firmly attached to the mixing cylinder 1. The reasonable design and robust structure of the connecting plate 208 can effectively disperse these forces and vibrations. The material box 203 is fixed on the connecting plate 208, allowing the material to enter the mixing cylinder 1. The output end of the material pump 210 is connected to a telescopic pipe 202, which is telescopic and can adjust according to the liquid level changes of the material in the mixing cylinder 1 and the movement of the stirring device. Z-shaped plates 3 are fixedly connected to the bottom left and right sides of the mixing cylinder 1, which can provide a larger support area and better stability.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-3. A rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the top rear side of the mixing cylinder 1. A baffle 10 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 15. A handle 9 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the baffle 10. An electromagnetic valve 209 is connected to the outer wall of the telescopic pipe 202. A sealing cap 201 is threadedly connected to the other end of the electromagnetic valve 209. A controller 16 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the mixing cylinder 1. The controller 16 is electrically connected to the servo motor 6, the servo motor 19 and the material pump 210 respectively. A discharge plate 23 is connected to the middle of the bottom end of the mixing cylinder 1. A sealing plate 22 is engaged with the inner side of the discharge plate 23. U-shaped strips 21 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the mixing cylinder 1 near the edge. U-shaped strips 20 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the U-shaped strips 21.

[0037] Specifically, the rotating shaft 15 serves as a mixing device component, with a baffle 10 fixedly connected to the middle of its outer wall. It is usually welded to ensure that the baffle 10 can move synchronously with the rotation of the rotating shaft 15. The operator can manually rotate the baffle 10 by holding the handle 9. The outer wall of the telescopic pipe 202 is connected to a solenoid valve 209. The other end of the solenoid valve 209 is threadedly connected to a sealing cap 201. The sealing cap 201 is in the closed state to prevent external impurities from entering the telescopic pipe 202 and the solenoid valve 209, thus ensuring the purity of the material conveying.

[0038] Working principle: When pet food needs to be mixed, the mixed food is first placed inside the mixing drum 1. At this time, the servo motor 19 connected to the L-shaped plate 18 is started, which smoothly drives the stirring rod 11 to rotate. The stirring blades 14 connected to the outer wall of the stirring rod 11 work together to mix the food. Then, the servo motor 6 connected to the L-shaped plate 7 is turned on, which drives the circular gear 17 to rotate through the gear belt 5. This causes the stirring rod 8 to rotate in the opposite direction to the blades 12 and chain 13 connected to the outer wall. This, together with the blades 12, quickly cuts large particles of food. Therefore, the pet food can be mixed in a shorter time, improving the mixing efficiency and speed of pet food and meeting the needs of operators.

[0039] When the mixed feed is discharged through the discharge plate 23, the Z-shaped rotating rod 205 drives the rotating rod 212 to rotate, thereby driving the agitator 211 to move along the inner side of the feed box 203 to fully mix the cleaning material. Then, the feed pump 210 is turned on, and the telescopic pipe 202 sprays the mixed cleaning material onto the inner side of the mixing cylinder 1 for cleaning. This ensures that the inner side of the mixing cylinder 1 can achieve an effective cleaning effect after the feed is mixed, avoiding residue residue during the next use and affecting the quality of feed mixing.

[0040] 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.
