Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cat food production technology, specifically a device for uniformly mixing the nutritional components of cat food. Background Technology

[0002] Cat food is the food that pet cats eat. By mixing different ingredients, the nutritional balance of cat food is ensured.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN219701734U discloses a water mixing machine for producing wet cat food. It measures water using a large measuring cylinder and pumps it into a mixing tank to mix with the raw materials, achieving quantitative water dispensing. However, this method relies on manual observation of the water level. As the water level rises and falls, workers need to use ladders to climb and observe the water level to maintain eye level. Otherwise, if workers are on the ground, the difference in visual angle between their line of sight, the water level, and the water level line leads to inaccurate water level observation, making precise control of the water level difficult.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a device for uniformly mixing the nutritional components of cat food to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a device for uniformly mixing the nutritional components of cat food, aiming to solve the problems mentioned in the prior art, which involves measuring water with a large measuring cylinder and then using a water pump to deliver the water to a mixing tank to mix with the raw materials to achieve quantitative water distribution. However, this method requires manual observation of the water level. As the water level rises and falls, workers need to use ladders to climb and observe the water level in order to keep their line of sight level with the water level. Otherwise, if workers are on the ground, there is a visual angle difference between their line of sight and the water level when the water level rises, resulting in inaccurate water level observation. Therefore, it is not convenient to accurately control the water level.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a cat food nutrient uniform mixing device, comprising a tank, a can lid fixedly disposed at the top of the tank for sealing the top of the tank, a stirring device inserted inside the tank for mixing raw materials, a feed pipe disposed through the top of the can lid for feeding materials, and a discharge pipe fixedly disposed at the bottom of the tank for discharging the mixture inside the tank.

[0007] To facilitate accurate control of water supply: a measuring tank for holding water is provided on one side of the tank, a water level gauge for measuring the water level inside the measuring tank is provided at the top of the measuring tank, a display screen for displaying water level data is provided on the outer wall of the measuring tank, a first water pump and a second water pump for supplying water to the measuring tank and the tank lid are respectively provided on both sides of the measuring tank, and a control device for controlling the first water pump and the second water pump is provided on the outer wall of the measuring tank. When water consumption needs to be calculated, the display screen is operated to send a signal to the first water pump, starting the pump to draw water into the measuring tank through the second water pipe. The water level gauge then calculates the water level and sends the result back to the display screen, where it is displayed. Operators only need to observe the water level data on the display screen, eliminating the need for visual inspection of the water level scale, thus achieving accurate water level control. When the water level reaches the required consumption level, the display screen is controlled, causing the control device to send a signal to stop the first water pump and activate the second water pump. This pump draws water from the measuring tank through the first water pipe into the annular water pipe, where it is finally sprayed by the nozzles.

[0008] Preferably, to facilitate the mixing of raw materials: one end of the feed pipe is connected through to the outer wall of the tank lid, the top of the tank lid has a circular hole for inserting and installing the mixing device, and the top of the discharge pipe is connected through to the bottom of the tank body. Raw materials are fed through the feed pipe, the mixing device is activated to mix the materials inside the tank, and finally the mixed material is discharged through the discharge pipe.

[0009] Preferably, to facilitate control of the water level in the measuring tank: the outer wall of the measuring tank is fixedly connected to the back of the display screen, the water level gauge is inserted into the top of the measuring tank, and the output end of the water level gauge is electrically connected to the input end of the display screen. The water level is monitored in real time via the water level gauge, and the data is transmitted to the display screen for display, thereby facilitating the acquisition of real-time water level data.

[0010] Preferably, to facilitate control of the first and second water pumps: the output terminal of the display screen is electrically connected to the input terminal of the control device, and the output terminal of the control device is electrically connected to the input terminals of the first and second water pumps respectively. The first and second water pumps are controlled separately by the control device.

[0011] Preferably, to facilitate water storage in the measuring tank: a second water pipe is connected to the outlet of the first water pump, and one end of the second water pipe is connected to the top of the measuring tank. Water is stored in the measuring tank by controlling the first water pump to pump water.

[0012] Preferably, to facilitate water delivery to the tank lid: the outlet of the second water pump is connected to a first water supply pipe, and the end of the first water supply pipe away from the second water pump is inserted into the tank lid. The inside of the tank lid is equipped with a nozzle for spraying water, and the end of the first water supply pipe away from the second water pump is connected to an annular water supply pipe for supplying water to the nozzle. By activating the second water pump, water from the measuring tank is drawn through the first water supply pipe into the annular water supply pipe and then atomized and sprayed through the nozzle, facilitating more uniform contact between the mixed materials and the water.

[0013] Preferably, to facilitate the fixed installation of the annular water supply pipe: a fixing ring for fixing the annular water supply pipe is sleeved on the outer wall of the annular water supply pipe, and one end of the fixing ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank lid. The annular water supply pipe is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tank lid by the fixing ring.

[0014] This application, through the design of a water tank, water level gauge, display screen, annular water supply pipe, and sprinkler heads, allows for accurate water level control when water consumption calculation is required. The first water pump is activated by operating the display screen, and the water level gauge calculates the water level and sends the result back to the display screen. Operators only need to observe the water level data on the display screen, eliminating the need for visual inspection of the water level scale. When the water level reaches the required consumption level, the display screen is activated, causing the control device to send a signal to stop the first water pump and activate the second water pump. This pump draws water from the water tank through the first water supply pipe into the annular water supply pipe, where it is finally sprayed by the sprinkler heads. Attached Figure Description
