Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet products, and in particular to a production mold for freeze-dried pets used for administering medication. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are many pet nutritional supplement capsule products or tablet medicines on the market that look the same as human capsules and tablets. Pets generally resist the appearance of capsules and tablets, making it difficult to get them to swallow the whole capsule or tablet. Therefore, feeding pets capsules or tablets often requires the assistance of a feeding device.

[0003] Related technology can be found in Chinese Patent No. CN220237106U, which discloses a feeder including two handles. Each handle has a shaft at its front end, and a rocker arm at its front end. A medication delivery assembly is located between the two rocker arms, and a clamp assembly is located at the bottom of the lower handle. This application, through the rocker arms and medication delivery tube, enables the rocker arms to open the pet's mouth, allowing the medication delivery tube to be inserted into the mouth for medication delivery.

[0004] Common feeders typically use specific tools to force capsules or pills into a pet's mouth, making it difficult to feed them and posing a risk of harming the pet or causing the pet to harm the feeder under stress. Utility Model Content

[0005] To improve the convenience of feeding pets capsules or tablets, this application provides a production mold for freeze-dried pet medication.

[0006] This application provides a production mold for freeze-dried pet medicine, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A production mold for freeze-dried pet medicine includes a base mold and a lid mold. The base mold has a base groove on its upper part, and a boss is provided inside the base groove. The boss is connected to the base mold, and the height of the boss is less than the depth of the base groove. A certain gap is left between the side of the boss and the inner surface of the base groove, and the two are not connected. The lid mold has a lid groove on its upper part. The shape of the lid groove is consistent with the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the boss, and the depth of the lid groove is less than the height of the boss.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the raw meat mince is placed into the base mold. After the raw meat mince is vacuum-dried in a vacuum freeze dryer, a freeze-dried feeder base with a shape consistent with the groove of the base can be formed on the base mold. The protrusions make the formed freeze-dried base have a hollow structure, allowing capsules and tablets to be placed inside. Similarly, when the mince enters the lid groove, it can be freeze-dried to a shape consistent with the lid groove.

[0009] Optionally, the base slot may be provided in several forms, and the several base slots may have different shapes, such as circular or elliptical.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple base molds and cover molds can be manufactured at once during the actual production of freeze-dried medicine feeder bases, increasing production efficiency. At the same time, multiple base grooves can have various structures, allowing for the simultaneous production of freeze-dried medicine feeders with different shapes, improving production efficiency and increasing product personalization.

[0011] Optionally, the side of the cover groove gradually tapers inward from top to bottom.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the bottom of the lid groove is small and the top is large, forming a funnel-shaped structure, which makes it easy to demold the lid after freeze-drying.

[0013] Optionally, the bottom edge of the base slot is an arc surface, so that the bottom corners of the freeze-dried medicine feeder base are smooth.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the freeze-dried bottom of the medicine feeder base produced by the base mold is smooth and without sharp edges, making it easier for pets to swallow, while reducing the possibility of sharp edges scratching the pet's esophagus.

[0015] Optionally, the side of the base slot gradually tapers from top to bottom towards the boss.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the bottom of the base groove is small and the top is large, forming a funnel-shaped structure, which facilitates the freeze-drying and demolding of the produced medicine feeder base.

[0017] Optionally, the upper end of the base mold is provided with a baffle plate, the baffle plate is provided with an arc-shaped groove corresponding to the base slot. When the baffle plate is working, the arc-shaped groove is directly opposite the corresponding base slot. The top of the arc-shaped groove of the baffle plate is connected to the inlet. One side of the upper surface of the baffle plate is hinged to the base mold, and the other side is fixed with a handle.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the base mold is easier to form during the production of freeze-dried bases, and the bottom of the freeze-dried base is also made smoother, making it easier for pets to swallow and reducing the possibility of injury to their esophagus. The raw material for freeze-drying, minced meat, can be injected through the feed inlet, and the hinge and handle design makes it easier to flip and open the baffle.

[0019] Optionally, the base groove has a push plate sleeved on the outside of the boss, and a push rod is fixed at the lower end of the push plate. The base mold has a through hole corresponding to the push rod, and the push rod passes through the through hole and is slidably connected to the base mold.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the base mold is completed and demolding is required, the push rod drives the push plate to move upward after the baffle is opened, so that the produced medicine feeder base can be directly freeze-dried and pushed out of the base mold, which greatly improves the production efficiency of the mold.

[0021] Optionally, a limiting plate is fixed to the end of the push rod away from the push plate, and a spring is sleeved on the side of the push rod. The upper end of the spring contacts the lower end face of the base mold, and the other end of the spring contacts the end of the limiting plate close to the base mold. The spring is in a deformed state and has the tendency to push the limiting plate away from the base mold.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, after the push rod is pushed upward and demolded under the action of external force, it can automatically move downward under the action of spring force to achieve reset.

[0023] Optionally, the lower end face of the boss is provided with a threaded hole, and the slot of the base is provided with a blind hole that matches the threaded hole. The axis of the threaded hole and the blind hole coincides. The lower end of the base mold is provided with a bolt, which passes through the blind hole and engages with the threaded hole. The cover has multiple grooves, each corresponding to a boss of a different shape.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the boss can be replaced. There are many types of capsules and tablets, and the boss is designed as a replaceable structure, which greatly enhances the versatility of this design.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] 1. It can produce freeze-dried bases with hollow structures and freeze-dried lids that match the shape of the freeze-dried base cavity, concealing capsules and tablets that pets resist, so that pets can actively swallow the capsules and tablets.

[0027] 2. The design with multiple flared base slots and cover recesses reduces demolding difficulty and improves production efficiency;

[0028] 3. By designing different shapes for the base slot and the cover groove, and by making the boss replaceable, the mold can produce a variety of products, greatly improving its versatility. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings.

[0036] This application discloses a production mold for freeze-dried pets intended for feeding medication.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Reference Figure 1 A production mold for freeze-dried pet medicine feeder includes two types of molds: a base mold (1) and a lid mold (2). The upper part of the base mold (1) is provided with a base slot (11). After the raw material meat paste enters the base mold (1) and is frozen, the water is removed by a vacuum freezer, and the raw material meat paste can form a freeze-dried feeder base with the same shape as the base slot (11). There are multiple base slots (11), which greatly improves the production efficiency. The base slots (11) have various shapes, which greatly increases the diversity of products. The sides of the base slots (11) gradually shrink inward from top to bottom, with a small bottom and a large top, making it relatively easy to demold when the freeze-dried feeder base is produced. The bottom edge of the base slot (11) is an arc surface (111). The arc-shaped bottom surface of the base slot (11) makes the upper edge of the generated freeze-dried feeder base also arc-shaped, reducing the risk of the sharp edges of the freeze-dried feeder scratching the pet's esophagus.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 The base groove (11) has a boss (12) inside, which is located in the middle of the base groove (11). The presence of the boss (12) makes the freeze-dried medicine feeder base produced have a hollow structure with the same shape as the boss (12). The lid mold (2) has a lid groove (21) on the upper part. The shape of the lid groove (21) is the same as the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the boss (12), and the depth of the lid groove (21) is less than the height of the boss (12), so that the lid freeze-dried produced by the lid mold (2) can be put into the cavity formed by the freeze-dried medicine feeder base, covering the capsules or tablets put into the cavity. The side of the lid groove (21) gradually shrinks inward from top to bottom, which facilitates the demolding of the lid freeze-dried product.

[0040] The implementation principle of Embodiment 1 of this application is as follows: the raw material minced meat is poured into the slot of the base mold (1) and the groove of the lid mold (2). The base mold (1) and the lid mold (2) containing the minced meat are placed in the freezer. After the minced meat is frozen, the base mold (1) and the lid mold (2) are placed in a vacuum freeze dryer. After the water in the minced meat sublimates in a vacuum environment, the freeze-dried base and lid of the feeder are produced. The freeze-dried lid produced by the lid mold (2) can be placed in the hollow structure of the freeze-dried base of the feeder, so that the two are combined to perfectly hide the tablets or capsules, so that the pet can actively swallow the capsules or tablets, improving the convenience of feeding the pet capsules or tablets.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that a demolding mechanism and a baffle (3) are added.

[0043] Reference Figure 4 The base mold (1) is provided with a baffle (3) at the upper end. The baffle (3) has an arc groove (31) and an inlet (34) at the axis of the arc groove (31). One side of the upper surface of the baffle (3) is connected to the base mold (1) by a hinge (33), and the other side is fixed with a handle (32). The baffle (3) can assist the freeze-drying of the feeder base and make its upper corners rounded. The meat paste for freeze-drying can be injected through the inlet (34). One side of the baffle (3) is connected to the base mold (1) by a hinge (33). With the hinge (33) as the rotation axis, the baffle (3) can be closed when the meat paste is injected and opened when the freeze-drying of the feeder base is completed, so that the freeze-dried feeder base can be removed. The handle (32) on the other side of the baffle (3) allows the user to open or close the baffle (3) more easily.

[0044] Reference Figure 4A push plate (14) is provided at the lower end of the base groove (11). A through hole is provided at the bottom of the base groove (11). The side of the push plate (14) is tightly fitted with the inner side surface of the base groove (11) to maintain a seal. A push rod (16) is fixedly provided at the lower end of the push plate (14). The push rod (16) passes through the through hole between the boss (12) and the inner wall of the base groove (11) and slides with the base mold (1). This allows the mold to be pushed out and demolded under the action of the push rod (16) and the push plate (14) without having to be flipped when the freeze-drying production of the feeder base is completed. A limiting plate (17) is fixedly provided on the side of the push rod (16) away from the base mold (1). A spring (15) is sleeved on the side of the push rod (16). One end of the spring (15) contacts the upper surface of the limiting plate (17), and the other end contacts the lower surface of the base mold (1). When an external force pushes the push rod (16) upward to demold, the spring (15) will be gradually compressed. When demolding is complete and the external force is removed, the push rod (16) will automatically move away from the base mold (1) due to the elastic force generated by the compression of the spring (15), thus achieving automatic reset.

[0045] Reference Figure 5 The lower end face of the boss (12) is provided with a threaded hole, and the base mold (1) is provided with a blind hole that matches the threaded hole. The axis of the threaded hole and the blind hole coincide. The lower end of the base mold (1) is provided with a bolt (13), and the boss (12) and the base mold (1) are connected by the bolt (13). When it is necessary to replace different bosses (12), it is only necessary to unscrew the fixing bolt (13) to replace the bosses (12) of different shapes and sizes, so that the freeze-dried medicine feeder base produced has cavities of different shapes.

[0046] The implementation principle of Embodiment 2 of this application is as follows: raw material minced meat is injected into the base mold (1) at the inlet (34). The freeze-drying process is the same as that of Embodiment 1. After freeze-drying is completed, it is not necessary to flip the mold. After flipping the baffle (3), push the push rod (16) to push the freeze-dried medicine feeder base out of the mold and achieve demolding. The push rod (16) can automatically reset under the action of the spring (15). In addition, according to market changes, after removing the fixing bolt (13) of the boss (12), different shapes and sizes of bosses (12) can be replaced, making the mold more adaptable.

[0047] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
