[0003] Therefore, this application provides an integrated pet food processing device to meet the needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an integrated pet food processing device, which aims to solve the problem that two sets of independent feeding hoppers require a large installation space, resulting in a bulky molding machine structure that is not conducive to the miniaturization and intensive production of the equipment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: an integrated pet food processing device, including a molding machine body and a feeding hopper, wherein the feeding hopper is provided with a partition plate that divides the space into two parts, and two sets of stirring paddles are provided on the inner wall of the feeding hopper symmetrically arranged with the partition plate as the center line. The stirring paddles are driven by a transmission mechanism, and two sets of symmetrical bottom plates are provided at the bottom of the feeding hopper. The bottom plates and the partition plate are connected by an alternating mechanism.

[0006] The alternation mechanism also includes a motor, a rotating rod, a telescopic rod, a sliding plate, and a switching component. The motor is mounted on the top surface of the partition plate, and a rotating hole that is vertically connected is provided in the middle of the partition plate. Rectangular sliding cavities are provided on the two sets of base plates, and through holes that connect the sliding cavities are provided on the opposite sides of the base plates. The switching component is slidably connected in the two sets of through holes, and a rotating rod that connects the motor and the switching component is rotatably connected in the rotating hole.

[0007] The top surface of the base plate is provided with an interconnected discharge port. A sliding plate is slidably connected inside the sliding cavity. The sliding plate and the sliding cavity are connected by a telescopic rod. The outer wall of the sliding plate is slidably connected to the switching component.

[0008] Preferably, the size of the sliding plate is larger than that of the discharge port.

[0013] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention integrates the functions of two traditional independent conveying hoppers into one unit by setting a partition plate and a switching mechanism in a single conveying hopper. This significantly saves installation space and makes the molding machine body structure more compact, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the equipment and the rational layout of the production line. The gear on the outer wall of the conveying hopper meshes with the rack on the top surface of the baffle, realizing the self-driven rotation of the stirring paddle during the reciprocating movement of the conveying hopper. No additional power device is required, which reduces the energy consumption and cost of the equipment. The motor drives the rotating rod and the switching component (cam) to rotate, and the sliding plate is reset by the telescopic rod, realizing the alternating feeding of two materials in the same conveying hopper. Compared with the traditional switching method of two sets of conveying hoppers, this simplifies the control system and improves the accuracy and efficiency of material feeding.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Example: Reference Figure 1-4 The illustrated integrated pet food processing device includes a molding machine body 1, baffles 4, a feeding hopper 5, a transmission mechanism, and a switching mechanism. A set of feeding hoppers 5 is slidably connected to the top surface of the molding machine body 1, and two sets of symmetrical baffles 4 are provided on the top surface of the molding machine body 1. The spacing between the two sets of baffles 4 is adapted to the spacing between the feeding hoppers 5. An agitator 9 is rotatably connected inside the feeding hopper 5. The agitator 9 is connected to the baffles 4 through the transmission mechanism. When the feeding hopper 5 moves to the baffles 4, the agitator 9 is driven to work by the transmission mechanism. A switching mechanism is provided inside the feeding hopper 5. The switching mechanism can control the alternating feeding of two different materials in the feeding hopper 5, which saves installation space compared to the existing design of two sets of feeding hoppers 5.

[0024] As one embodiment of this invention, the switching mechanism includes: a partition plate 6 dividing the space into two parts inside the hopper 5; two sets of the aforementioned stirring paddles 9 symmetrically arranged around the partition plate 6; two sets of symmetrical (non-connected) bottom plates 13 on the bottom surface of the hopper 5; a sliding cavity 130 inside the bottom plate 13; a through hole 131 connecting to the outside inside the sliding cavity 130; an interconnected discharge port 132 on the bottom plate 13 (the discharge port 132 passes through the sliding cavity 130); and an interconnected rotating hole 60 in the middle of the partition plate 6. A motor 7 installed on the top surface of the partition plate 6 drives a rotating rod 8 in the rotating hole 60 to rotate. A coaxial switching element 16 is provided at the bottom of the rotating rod 8. The switching element 16 is slidably connected in the through hole 131. The switching element 16 is a cam. A set of sliding plates 15 is slidably connected in the sliding cavity 130. With the cooperation of the telescopic rod 14, the sliding plates 15 at their base position block the discharge port 132. When the motor 7 drives the switching element 16 to rotate through the rotating rod 8 and pushes the sliding plates 15 to slide in the sliding cavity 130, the telescopic rod 14 can assist the sliding plates 15 to reset.

[0025] As one implementation method in this embodiment, in order to allow the material to be discharged directly from the discharge port 132, two sets of symmetrical feed hoppers 12 are provided inside the feed hopper 5.

[0026] As one embodiment of this invention, the transmission mechanism has two sets of gears 10 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the hopper 5, and the gears 10 are coaxially arranged with the stirring paddle 9. During the movement of the hopper 5, the gears 10 mesh with the rack 11 provided on the top surface of the baffle 4, thereby realizing the self-driving of the stirring paddle 9.

[0027] As one embodiment of this example, in order to maintain the cleanliness of the processing table of the molding machine body 1, a perforation 100 is provided on the top surface of the molding machine body 1. During the reciprocating motion of the feeding hopper 5, the overflowing material is pushed down from the perforation 100 and collected in the receiving hopper 3 below. In order to prevent the molded feed from falling off, multiple sets of guide strips 2 are provided in the perforation 100, and the spacing between the guide strips 2 is smaller than the radius of the molded feed.

[0028] The working principle of this practical system is as follows: Two different materials are fed into the hopper 5, and the two different materials are separated by the partition plate 6. Then, the telescopic cylinder for pushing on the molding machine body 1 drives the hopper 5 to reciprocate on the platform of the molding machine body 1. During the reciprocating motion, the motor 7 on the top surface of the partition plate 6 is started. The motor 7 drives the rotating rod 8 in the rotating hole 60 to rotate, so that the switching part 16 rotates in the through hole 131 of the bottom plate 13. The motor 7 first rotates 90 degrees, which starts the outer sliding plate 15 to slide in the outer sliding cavity 130 and expose the corresponding discharge port 130, so that the material flows out from here. The material is initially loaded into the trough. During the resetting process, the motor 7 rotates 180 degrees, and the outer sliding plate 15 is reset with the assistance of the telescopic rod 14 in the outer sliding cavity 130. After the motor 7 is in place, the inner sliding plate 15 performs the same operation as the outer sliding plate 15. This process is repeated to complete the stacking and filling of the material. Then, the telescopic cylinders of the upper and lower parts of the forming machine body 1 are activated. The upper telescopic cylinder drives the pressure plate to press down, and the lower telescopic cylinder drives the pressure plate to move up, thus extruding the material. The material is then pushed to a height that is level with the bottom surface of the conveying hopper 5. During the reciprocating motion of the conveying hopper 5, the material is pushed out.

[0029] During the above operation, some material overflows from the feed trough. Through the action of the perforation 100, the overflowing material is collected in the receiving hopper 3 below. The guide bar 2 prevents the feed from falling out of the perforation 100.

[0030] During the reciprocating motion of the hopper 5, the gear 10 meshes with the rack 11 on the baffle 4, thereby driving the agitator 9 to rotate and agitate the material to prevent clumping.

[0031] The electromechanical connections involved in this utility model are common practices used by those skilled in the art, and technical inspiration can be obtained through a limited number of experiments; they are common knowledge.

[0032] Components not described in detail in this article are existing technologies.

[0033] 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.
