Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling head technology, and in particular to a multi-flavor quick-switching filling head for cat treat production. Background Technology
[0002] In the pet food industry, cat treats are paste-like snacks for cats, widely popular due to their palatability and rich nutrition. Traditional cat treat production mainly uses a single filling head or a fixed multi-filling head system, which has the following technical drawbacks.
[0003] Traditional filling equipment typically supports only a single filling head. Changing flavors requires stopping the machine and replacing the raw material pipeline, which is time-consuming. Some equipment uses multiple filling heads in a fixed arrangement, but manual adjustment is still required when switching, which affects production efficiency. In addition, raw materials of different flavors, such as fish, chicken, and beef, are prone to remain inside the filling head when switching, resulting in mixed flavors, which requires manual cleaning. Utility Model Content

Through the cooperation of a rotating disc and a fixed disc, it enables rapid connection between different feed pipes and discharge ports, significantly reducing downtime.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

Detailed Implementation
[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] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a multi-flavor quick-switching filling head for cat treat production, comprising a fixed plate 1, with inlets 9 fixedly connected to both the left and right rear ends of the fixed plate 1, and inlets 9 fixedly connected to the inner side of the inlets 9, and a sealing ring 2 fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed plate 1, with a rotating plate 3 rotatably connected to the inner side of the outer end of the sealing ring 2, and a connecting plate 4 fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the fixed plate 1, with the lower end of the connecting plate 4 rotatably connected to the middle part of the rotating plate 3, and an outlet 5 fixedly connected to the lower front end of the rotating plate 3, with a flexible tube 6 fixedly connected to the inner side of the outlet 5, and a filling port 7 fixedly connected to the lower end of the flexible tube 6. A water inlet 8 is fixedly connected to the upper front end of the fixed plate 1. A water pump 10 is fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the fixed plate 1. A water pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the front of the water pump 10. The lower end of the water pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the water inlet 8. A gear ring 13 is provided on the lower side of the rotating plate 3. A fixing ear 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the gear ring 13. The middle part of the fixing ear 14 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the rotating plate 3 by bolts. A fixing plate 15 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the connecting plate 4. A motor 16 is fixedly connected to the upper left side of the fixing plate 15. A gear 17 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 16. The outer side of the gear 17 is meshed with the inner side of the gear ring 13.
[0024] Motor 16 drives gear 17 to rotate, which in turn drives rotating disk 3 to rotate relative to fixed disk 1 through meshing with gear ring 13. The rotation of rotating disk 3 drives the discharge port 5, hose 6 and filling port 7 to rotate as a whole, so that the discharge port 5 is precisely aligned with the inlet 9 of the target flavor. When the inlet 9 of the selected flavor is connected to the discharge port 5, the raw material enters through the feed pipe 12 and is transported to the filling port 7 through the discharge port 5 and hose 6. Before switching flavors, rotating disk 3 rotates to align the discharge port 5 with the water inlet 8, and water pump 10 starts to pump the cleaning solution into the system through water pipe 11 and water inlet 8. The cleaning solution flows through the discharge port 5, hose 6 and filling port 7 in sequence to achieve automatic cleaning. After cleaning, the system automatically drains the residual liquid and prepares for the next round of filling.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A U-shaped plate 18 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the rotating disk 3. An electric push rod 19 is fixedly connected to the middle of the lower side of the U-shaped plate 18. A lifting frame 20 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the electric push rod 19. A fixing ring 21 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lifting frame 20. The inner side of the fixing ring 21 is fixedly connected to the outside of the filling port 7. Limiting blocks 22 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the upper end of the lifting frame 20. A limiting rod 23 is passed through the middle of the limiting block 22. The upper end of the limiting rod 23 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the left and right ends of the U-shaped plate 18.
[0026] The rotation of the rotating disk 3 drives the discharge port 5, hose 6 and filling port 7 to rotate as a whole, so that the discharge port 5 is precisely aligned with the inlet port 9 of the target flavor. Then, the electric push rod 19 drives the lifting frame 20 to move up and down along the limit rod 23, which drives the filling port 7 to rise and fall, so as to achieve precise adjustment of the filling height. The electric push rod 19 pushes the filling port 7 down to the preset height to start the filling operation. After the filling is completed, the filling port 7 automatically rises and resets. The rotating disk 3 is set to rotate back and forth, with a rotation angle of no more than 360 degrees to avoid short circuit.
[0027] Working principle: The rotating disk 3 can rotate under the fixed disk 1, thereby driving the discharge port 5, hose 6 and filling port 7 to rotate, so that the discharge port 5 corresponds to different inlet ports 9, thus for filling different flavors of cat strips. At the same time, when changing, first align the discharge port 5 with the water inlet 8, and use the water pump 10 to draw cleaning solution, and inject it into the hose 6 through the water pipe 11 and the water inlet 8 to clean the hose 6 and filling port 7, so as to avoid affecting the subsequent filling of cat strips. Start the motor 16 to drive the gear 17 to rotate. The gear 17 and the gear ring 13 cooperate to drive the rotating disk 3 to rotate, thereby driving the discharge port 5, hose 6 and filling port 7 to rotate for adjusting the angle. Start the electric push rod 19 fixed under the rotating disk 3 by the U-shaped plate 18. The electric push rod 19 drives the filling port 7 to descend through the lifting frame 20 and the fixed ring 21 to adjust the distance between it and the filling bottle.
[0028] 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.
