[0024] To make the content of this utility model easier to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a drying device for preparing cat food includes a box body 1, with two symmetrically arranged box doors 12 hinged to the box body 1. The two box doors 12 are respectively engaged with the box body 1 by buckles.

[0026] A rotating disk 2 is rotatably connected to the housing 1. A drive assembly 6 is provided between the housing 1 and the rotating disk 2. The drive assembly 6 includes a first motor 601 fixedly installed on the top of the housing 1. A drive gear 602 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 601. A driven gear 603 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating disk 2. The drive gear 602 and the driven gear 603 mesh with each other. Through the drive assembly 6, the first motor 601 can drive the drive gear 602 to rotate. The drive gear 602 drives the driven gear 603 to rotate. The driven gear 603 drives the rotating disk 2 to rotate. The first motor 601 is a servo motor. The first motor 601 drives the rotating disk 2 to rotate 180° each time.

[0027] A first holding assembly 3 and a second holding assembly 4 symmetrically arranged on the rotating disk 2 are provided. A partition 5 is fixedly installed on the rotating disk 2, located between the first holding assembly 3 and the second holding assembly 4. The partition 5 abuts against the inner wall of the chamber 1, and a sealing gasket is provided between the partition 5 and the chamber 1. The partition 5 divides the interior of the chamber 1 into a drying zone and a cooling zone. Figure 1 As shown, the left side of the interior of the chamber 1 is the drying zone, and the right side is the cooling zone. When the rotating disk 2 rotates, it can drive the partition 5 to rotate.

[0028] The first container assembly 3 and the second container assembly 4 have the same structure. The first container assembly 3 includes a second motor 301 fixedly installed on the rotating disk. A container basket 302 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 301. The container basket 302 has a hollow structure and a cover door 303 is hinged on the container basket 302. Before drying the cat food, the cat food is put into the container baskets of the first container assembly 3 and the second container assembly 4 respectively.

[0029] A hot air blower 7 is provided on the housing 1. A first air inlet 8 is provided on one side of the housing 1. A second air inlet 9 and a first air outlet 10 are provided on the top of the housing 1. A second air outlet 11 is provided on the side of the housing 1 away from the first air inlet 8.

[0030] When drying cat food, if the first container 3 is located in the drying zone, the hot air blower 7 is started. The hot air blower 7 blows hot air from the first air outlet 10 to dry the cat food in the box 1. During the drying process, the second motor 301 drives the container basket 302 to rotate, causing the cat food to turn over and dry evenly. The water vapor and hot air generated during the drying process are discharged from the second air outlet 11. After the cat food is dried, the rotating disc 2 rotates 180°, allowing the second container 4 to enter the drying zone. The above drying process is repeated. The first container 3 enters the cooling zone. While drying the cat food in the second container 4, the air inlet of the hot air blower 7 draws in cold air from the first air inlet 8 to cool the cat food in the first container 3. At the same time, the heat in the cooling zone also enters the drying zone, reducing heat waste.

[0031] During the cooling process, the second motor 301 drives the container basket 302 to rotate, so that the cat food is cooled evenly. After the cooling is completed, the box door 12 on one side of the cooling area is opened. The crumbs produced during the drying process fall into the box 1. The crumbs are cleaned out first, and then the lid door 303 is opened to discharge the cat food. The drying and cooling of the cat food are carried out at the same time, which improves the drying efficiency of the cat food.

[0032] In this embodiment, the rotation control of the motor, the opening and closing of the hot air blower, and the temperature setting are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model patent and is not intended to limit this utility model patent. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model patent should be included within the protection scope of this utility model patent.
