Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pet food impurity separation devices, and in particular to a high-efficiency separation device for metal impurities in pet food. Background Technology
[0002] To prevent metal impurities and other contaminants in pet food from posing a threat to pets' health, a separation device is needed to remove these impurities.
[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with application number 202322423673.5, entitled "A Metal Detector for Pet Food." This patented device comprises a feeding pipe, a hopper, a metal detector, a conveyor belt, an electric telescopic rod, a sorting plate, a receiving box, and a drawer. Pet food enters the feeding pipe through the hopper and is then conveyed onto the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt transports the pet food to the metal detector for testing. If the pet food is normal, it will be transported along the upper surface of the sorting plate to the receiving box for collection. If the pet food has excessive metal content, the electric telescopic rod is activated, causing the sorting plate to rotate, allowing the pet food with excessive metal content to slide down the lower surface of the sorting plate into the drawer for collection. This automated detection and sorting avoids the frequent omissions that occur during manual sorting, greatly improving sorting efficiency.
[0004] However, this patented device may fail to identify and separate metal particles inside the pet food when the pet food moves on the device due to excessive thickness in certain areas, thus affecting the device's screening effect on the pet food. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a highly efficient device for separating metal impurities in pet food.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A highly efficient metal impurity separation device for pet food includes a base, a separation mechanism disposed above the base, the separation mechanism including at least two rotating shafts three disposed above the base, rollers three fixedly connected to the circumferential side of the rotating shafts three, at least two spiral plates with opposite rotation directions uniformly fixedly connected to the circumferential side of the rollers three, at least two rotating shafts two disposed above the base, rollers two fixedly connected to the circumferential side of the rotating shafts two, an adsorption belt sleeved between the circumferential sides of the two rollers two, and an electromagnet plate body disposed above the adsorption belt.
[0008] Preferably, a top frame is fixedly connected to the top of the base, and at least two motors four aligned with the rotating shaft three are evenly fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the top frame. The output shaft of the motor four is fixedly connected to a lead screw, and the other end of the lead screw extends above the rotating shaft three.

At least two lifting slots aligned with the rotating shaft three are opened on one side of the top frame.
[0010] Preferably, a motor three is slidably connected between the two sides of the lifting groove, one side of the motor three is fixedly connected to one side of the lifting frame, and the output shaft of the motor three is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft three.
[0011] Preferably, a motor 2 aligned with a rotating shaft 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the top frame, and the output shaft of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 2. At least two rotating shafts 1 are provided between the two sides of the base, and a roller shaft 1 is fixedly connected to the circumferential side of the rotating shaft 1.
[0012] Preferably, a rotating belt is sleeved between the circumferential sides of the two rollers, a motor is fixedly connected to one side of the base, the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft, and a support plate is fixedly connected between the two sides of the base, with the top of the support plate abutting against the rotating belt.
[0013] Preferably, one side of the top frame is detachably connected to an opening and closing plate, a fixed box is fixedly connected between the outer and inner walls of the top of the top frame, a feeding box located above the top of the fixed box is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed box, and material distribution columns are evenly fixedly connected between the two sides of the fixed box.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a highly efficient device for separating metal impurities in pet food, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] Pet food is placed on a rotating belt using a spiral plate. Motor 1 is started, driving shaft 1 to rotate, which in turn drives roller 1, which in turn drives the rotating belt. The rotating belt moves the pet food closer to roller 3. Motor 3 is then started, driving shaft 3 to rotate in opposite directions, which in turn drives roller 3, which in turn drives the spiral plate. The two sets of spiral plates move the pet food from the center of the rotating belt to the sides and from the sides to the center, ensuring the pet food coating is evenly distributed on the belt. This prevents excessive thickness in certain areas, which could hinder the removal of metal impurities and affect the screening effect. Motor 2 is then started, driving shaft 2 to rotate... Shaft 2 drives roller 2 to rotate, and roller 2 pulls the adsorbed metal impurities close to one end of the electromagnet plate body. This helps the device to gather the adsorbed metal impurities, making it easier to clean them later. The electromagnet plate body is activated, and it adsorbs the metal impurities in the pet food onto the adsorption belt. After the device has cleaned a certain amount of pet food, it temporarily stops feeding the raw materials and turns off the electromagnet plate body, allowing the metal impurities on the adsorption belt to fall onto the rotating belt and be discharged from the device. This facilitates the device to easily collect and clean the gathered metal impurities. The pet food is fed from the feeding box into the fixed box. The evenly distributed distribution columns and the fixed box resemble a Galton plate, causing the falling pet food to accumulate in a shape similar to a normal distribution curve, with a bulge in the middle and low sides, making it easier for the subsequent spiral plate to flatten the pet food.

[0022] In this utility model, a top frame 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and at least two motors 17 aligned with the rotating shaft 12 are evenly fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the top of the top frame 14. The output shaft of the motors 17 is fixedly connected to a lead screw 18, and the other end of the lead screw 18 extends above the rotating shaft 12.
[0023] The circumferential side of the lead screw 18 is threadedly connected to the lifting frame 19. One side of the lifting frame 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of one side of the top frame 14. The two ends of the rotating shaft 12 are respectively rotatably connected to the two sides of the lifting frame 19. One side of the top frame 14 is provided with at least two lifting grooves 23 aligned with the rotating shaft 12.
[0024] A motor 22 is slidably connected between the two sides of the lifting groove 23. One side of the motor 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the lifting frame 19, and the output shaft of the motor 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 12.
[0025] One side of the top frame 14 is fixedly connected to a motor 24 aligned with the rotating shaft 29. The output shaft of the motor 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 29. At least two rotating shafts 12 are provided between the two sides of the base 1. Roller shafts 3 are fixedly connected to the circumferential side of the rotating shafts 12.
[0026] A rotating belt 5 is sleeved between the circumferential sides of the two rollers 3. A motor 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the base 1. The output shaft of the motor 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 2. A support plate 4 is fixedly connected between the two sides of the base 1. The top of the support plate 4 abuts against the rotating belt 5.
[0027] A hinged plate 13 is detachably connected to one side of the top frame 14. A fixed box 20 is fixedly connected between the outer and inner walls of the top of the top frame 14. A feed box 15 located above the top frame 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed box 20.

[0028] Working Principle: Pet food is placed on the rotating belt 5. Motor 121 is started, driving shaft 2 to rotate, which in turn drives roller 3 to rotate. Roller 3 drives the rotating belt 5, which in turn moves the pet food closer to roller 310. Motor 22 is then started, driving shaft 32 to rotate in opposite directions. Shaft 32 drives roller 310 to rotate, which in turn drives spiral plates 5. The two spiral plates 5 move the pet food from the center of the rotating belt 5 towards the sides and from the sides towards the center, ensuring the pet food coating is evenly distributed on the rotating belt 5. This prevents excessive thickness in certain areas, which could hinder the removal of metal impurities and affect the screening effect. Motor 24 is then started, driving shaft 2... Rotating shaft 9 drives roller shaft 8 to rotate. Roller shaft 8 brings the adsorbed metal impurities closer to one end of the electromagnet plate body 6, which helps the device to gather the adsorbed metal impurities and facilitates subsequent cleaning of the metal impurities. The electromagnet plate body 6 is activated, and the electromagnet plate body 6 adsorbs the metal impurities in the pet food onto the adsorption belt 7. After the device has cleaned a certain amount of pet food, the feeding of raw materials is temporarily stopped for a while, and the electromagnet plate body 6 is turned off, so that the metal impurities on the adsorption belt 7 fall onto the rotating belt 5 and are discharged from the device. This facilitates the device to conveniently collect and clean the gathered metal impurities. The pet food is fed from the feeding box 15 into the fixed box 20. The evenly distributed distribution columns 16 and the fixed box 20 resemble a Galton plate, so that the falling pet food accumulates in a shape like a normal distribution curve with a bulge in the middle and low on both sides, which makes it easy for the subsequent spiral plate 11 to flatten the pet food.
