Their working principle is usually to use a stirrer to fully mix different kinds of raw materials in the mixing chamber to ensure that each piece of processed pet food contains balanced nutrients.

[0003] When processing pet food, a mixer is needed to fully mix the nutritional food required by pets through the stirring components. However, in the process of using existing mixers, the size of the feed tube for feeding food raw materials remains unchanged. As a result, during feeding, some raw materials may fall to the outside due to the small size of the feed tube, resulting in waste and affecting the intake of food raw materials. Utility Model Content

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. By installing a guide hopper on the feed pipe and connecting it with a sleeve, the range of pet food raw materials that the mixer can accept can be expanded. This increases the diameter of the feed pipe inlet, thus preventing some raw materials from falling to the outside during feeding due to a small feed pipe diameter. This makes it easier for workers to feed the materials and reduces food waste. At the same time, the spring makes the insertion of the protrusion and the connecting hole and the insertion hole more secure, thus making the installation of the guide hopper more secure.

[0016] 2. By installing a guide plate on the discharge chute and connecting it with the threaded block and the rotating hole, the guide plate can be adjusted at the angle with the threaded block as the center.

[0028] Furthermore, the sleeve 21 is fitted onto the outer surface of the feed pipe 14, and the inner diameter of the sleeve 21 is the same as the outer diameter of the feed pipe 14. Two sets of boxes 22 are provided, and the two sets of boxes 22 are installed on both sides of the feed pipe 14. With the connection between the sleeve 21 and the feed pipe 14, the guide hopper 2 can be installed on the outer surface of the mixing chamber 11. The spring 23, the protrusion 24 and the pull rod 29 can be installed through the box 22.

[0029] Furthermore, one end of the spring 23 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the box 22, and the other end of the spring 23 is fixedly connected to the surface of the protrusion 24. One side of the protrusion 24 abuts against the inner surface of the box 22, and the other side of the protrusion 24 is inserted into the surface of the mounting hole 25, the connecting hole 26, and the insertion hole 27. The spring 23 can apply a supporting force to the surface of the protrusion 24 and make it always tend to move towards the feed pipe 14.

With the protrusion 24 and the mounting hole 25, the connecting hole 26, and the insertion hole 27, the sleeve 21 and the guide hopper 2 can be limited and fixed on the surface of the mixing chamber 11.

[0030] Furthermore, the diameters of the mounting hole 25, the connecting hole 26, and the insertion hole 27 are the same. There are two sets of connecting holes 26 and insertion holes 27. The two sets of connecting holes 26 are located on both sides of the sleeve 21, and the two sets of insertion holes 27 are located on both sides of the feed pipe 14. The pull rod 29 is slidably connected to the surface of the through hole 28. The surface of the pull rod 29 is "T" shaped and consists of a circular rod and a rectangular plate. The diameter of the through hole 28 is the same as the diameter of the circular rod of the pull rod 29. By pulling the pull rod 29, the protrusion 24 can be moved together.

[0031] Furthermore, a guiding mechanism is provided on the surface of the discharge trough 15. The guiding mechanism includes a guiding plate 3, which is movably connected to the outer surface of the discharge trough 15. A threaded block 31 is fixedly connected to the surface of the discharge trough 15. A rotating hole 32 is opened on the surface of the guiding plate 3. A nut 33 is installed on the surface of the threaded block 31. A handle 34 is fixedly connected to the surface of the nut 33. The inner surfaces of the guiding plate 3 are attached to the outer surfaces of the discharge trough 15 on both sides. The cross-section of the guiding plate 3 is U-shaped. The food discharged from the discharge trough 15 can be guided by the guiding plate 3.

[0032] Furthermore, two sets of threaded blocks 31 and rotating holes 32 are provided. The two sets of threaded blocks 31 are installed on both sides of the discharge trough 15, and the two sets of rotating holes 32 are opened on both sides of the guide plate 3. The threaded blocks 31 are connected to the surface of the guide plate 3 through the rotating holes 32. With the connection of the threaded blocks 31 and the rotating holes 32, the discharge trough 15 and the guide plate 3 can be connected, so that the guide plate 3 can rotate around the threaded blocks 31 as the center, thereby adjusting the different angles of the guide plate 3.

[0033] Furthermore, one end of the threaded block 31 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the discharge trough 15, and the other end of the threaded block 31 is connected to the inner surface of the nut 33 by thread. The nut 33 is abutted against the outer surface of the guide plate 3. Two sets of gripping rods 34 are provided, and the two sets of gripping rods 34 are installed on both sides of the nut 33. With the connection of the threaded block 31 and the nut 33, the angle of the rotated guide plate 3 can be fixed. By moving the gripping rods 34, the nut 33 can be loosened and tightened.

[0034] Working principle: Before processing pet food in the mixer, the guide hopper 2 is placed on top of the mixing chamber 11 and the sleeve 21 is aligned with the feed pipe 14 and fitted onto its surface. At the same time, the pull rod 29 is pulled so that it moves through the through hole 28 on the surface of the box body 22, so that the protrusion 24 moves into the box body 22 through the mounting hole 25. The spring 23 is in a compressed state. Then, the sleeve 21 is rotated and the positions of the connecting hole 26 and the insertion hole 27 are adjusted to be aligned. At this time, the pull rod 29 is released, and the protrusion 24 is inserted into the connecting hole 26 and the insertion hole 27 under the supporting force applied by the spring 23, so as to complete the installation of the sleeve 21 and the guide hopper 2. In this way, the range of food raw materials that the mixer can accept is increased and it is easier to put the raw materials into the feed pipe 14.

[0035] Before using the mixer, the guide plate 3 needs to be moved to the corresponding angle according to the pet food collection container. First, move the guide plate 3 so that it moves on the outer surface of the discharge trough 15 and rotates around the threaded block 31. When the guide plate 3 rotates to an angle that can guide the food smoothly into the collection container, align the inner side of the nut 33 with the threaded block 31 and rotate the handle 34 so that the nut 33 is connected to the threaded block 31 through the thread and, after tightening, abuts against the outer side of the guide plate 3 to complete the fixation of the guide plate 3 and make its rotation angle meet the collection requirements.
