Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet food ingredient mixing technology, and in particular to an automated pet food ingredient mixing device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the pet industry, the demand for pet food has been increasing year by year. In the production process of pet food, the mixing of ingredients is a key step that determines the nutritional ratio and taste of the product, and its degree of automation directly affects production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Traditional pet food ingredient mixing devices typically consist of a feeding port, a cylindrical or square mixing drum, a stirring rod, and a discharge port. The working principle is that the operator manually scoops or moves the raw materials from the raw material storage bin into the mixing drum according to the formula requirements, starts the stirring rod driven by the motor or stirs manually, and the operator manually opens the discharge port valve to release the mixed raw materials after judging from experience that the mixing is complete.

[0004] However, in existing equipment, raw materials tend to stick to the inner wall of the mixing tank during mixing, resulting in material waste. When mixing is finished, the raw material residue in the tank is difficult to clean and easily breeds bacteria. At the same time, the raw material residue on the mixing rod cannot be effectively cleaned, and the manual cleaning process causes secondary pollution, which does not meet food safety standards.

[0005] Therefore, an automated pet food ingredient mixing device is provided to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an automated pet food mixing device, which aims to improve the problems of raw material waste, inconvenient cleaning of raw material residue in the mixing tank, and ineffective cleaning of raw material residue on the mixing rod in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated pet food mixing device, comprising a mixing tank, a receiving box disposed on the lower side of the mixing tank, a sliding frame disposed on the rear side of the mixing tank, a sliding assembly disposed on the lower side of the sliding frame, a cylinder fixedly installed at the inner bottom of the sliding frame, a sliding plate fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder, a feeding box fixedly installed on the upper side of the sliding plate, a tank cover fixedly connected to the lower side of the sliding plate, a motor fixedly installed on the tank cover, a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a stirring rod fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, a scraper fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft, the stirring rod and the scraper being alternately arranged, a water pipe fixedly connected to the lower side of the tank cover, a nozzle fixedly connected to the lower side of the water pipe, a waste collection trough disposed on the right side of the mixing tank, and a cleaning assembly disposed inside the waste collection trough.

A first cylindrical brush is provided on the upper side of the drive wheel, and a second cylindrical brush is provided on the upper side of the driven wheel.

[0009] Furthermore, the sliding assembly includes an electric slide rail, which is fixedly installed on the rear side of the mixing tank, and an electric slider is slidably connected inside the electric slide rail.

[0010] Furthermore, the scraper is rotatably connected to the lower side of the bucket cover, which is positioned directly above the mixing tank.

[0011] Furthermore, the impurity-blocking shell is installed at the inner bottom of the impurity-collecting trough.

[0012] Furthermore, the nozzles are arranged in a ring on the lower side of the water pipe.

It achieves the effects of cleaning the inside of the bucket and saving costs.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, the design of the impurity collection trough and the roller brush and bristle brush in the cleaning component solves the problem of the inability to effectively clean the raw material residue on the stirring rod.

[0019] 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.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3An embodiment of this utility model includes a mixing tank 2, a receiving box 1 located on the lower side of the mixing tank 2, a sliding frame 10 located on the rear side of the mixing tank 2, and a sliding assembly 11 located on the lower side of the sliding frame 10. The sliding assembly 11 includes an electric slide rail 111, which is fixedly installed on the rear side of the mixing tank 2. An electric slider 112 is slidably connected inside the electric slide rail 111. A cylinder 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom inner side of the sliding frame 10. A sliding plate 13 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 12. A feeding box 14 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the sliding plate 13. A tank cover 3 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the sliding plate 13. A motor 4 is installed, and a rotating shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 4. A stirring rod 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5. A scraper 7 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 5. The scraper 7 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the bucket cover 3. The bucket cover 3 is located on the upper side of the mixing bucket 2. The stirring rod 6 and the scraper 7 are arranged alternately. A ring water pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the bucket cover 3. A nozzle 9 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the ring water pipe 8. The nozzles 9 are arranged in a ring on the lower side of the ring water pipe 8. A collection trough 15 is provided on the right side of the mixing bucket 2. A sliding frame 10 is slidably connected to the rear side of the mixing bucket 2 and the collection trough 15. A cleaning component 16 is provided inside the collection trough 15. Specifically, when it is necessary to mix pet food ingredients, first use controller 17 to open the electric slide rail 111. The electric slider 112 slides on the electric slide rail 111, causing the sliding frame 10 to slide. When the sliding frame 10 slides to the appropriate position, use controller 17 to control cylinder 12 to push sliding plate 13 up and down. While sliding plate 13 is moving up and down, it also moves bucket lid 3 until bucket lid 3 covers mixing bucket 2. Then stop cylinder 12, put the prepared ingredients into feed box 14, open the control valve below feed box 14, and the ingredients begin to enter mixing bucket 2 through the hose of feed box 14. Turn on motor 4, and the output end of motor 4... The rotating shaft 5 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring rod 6 and the scraper 7 to rotate, thus starting the mixing process. During the mixing process, the scraper 7 can scrape off the ingredients adhering to the inner wall, allowing the ingredients to fall into the bucket for continued mixing and saving ingredients. When the mixing is finished, the control valve under the mixing bucket 2 is opened, and the mixed ingredients fall into the receiving box 1. When it is necessary to clean the mixing bucket 2, the water source is connected to the water inlet pipe on the ring water pipe 8, allowing water to enter the ring water pipe 8. The nozzle 9 starts spraying water onto the inner wall of the mixing bucket 2. At the same time as spraying water, the motor 4 is turned on, allowing the scraper 7 to rotate inside the bucket, which is more effective in cleaning the ingredients adhering to the inner wall of the bucket.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The cleaning component 16 includes a brush 162, which is fixedly connected to both sides inside the collection trough 15. A baffle shell 161 is provided inside the brush 162 and installed at the bottom inside the collection trough 15. A drive motor 164 is provided inside the baffle shell 161 and installed inside the collection trough 15. A drive wheel 165 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 164. A driven wheel 166 is provided to the left of the drive wheel 165. A synchronous belt 167 is connected to the outer sides of the drive wheel 165 and the driven wheel 166. A first cylindrical brush 168 is provided on the upper side of the drive wheel 165 and a second cylindrical brush 163 is provided on the upper side of the driven wheel 166. A controller 17 is installed on the left side of the sliding component 11. The controller 17 is electrically connected to the electric slide rail 111, the cylinder 12, the motor 4 and the drive motor 164. Specifically, when cleaning the stirring rod 6, the controller 17 continues to control the electric slide rail 111. The sliding frame 10 slides along with the electric slider 112. When the sliding frame 10 reaches the desired cleaning position, the motor 4 is turned on, and the angles of the stirring rod 6 and scraper 7 are adjusted so that they align with the first cylindrical brush 168, the second cylindrical brush 163, and the bristle brush 162. Then, the cylinder 12 is controlled to push the sliding plate 13 up and down to the appropriate cleaning position. When cleaning begins, the drive motor 164 is turned on, and the output of the drive motor 164 drives the drive wheel 1. When the roller rotates at 65 degrees, the driving wheel 165 rotates to the driven wheel 166 via the synchronous belt 167. The rotation of the driving wheel 165 and the driven wheel 166 simultaneously drives the first cylindrical brush 168 and the second cylindrical brush 163 to rotate. The cylindrical brushes start to rotate and clean the stirring rod 6. During the cleaning process, the material falls into the collection trough 15 and is blocked by the impurity shell 161, preventing the material from falling onto the synchronous belt 167. The bristles of the brush 162 face the scraper plate 7. As the sliding plate 13 rises and falls, the brush 162 cleans the scraper plate 7, thereby effectively cleaning the raw material residue on the stirring rod 6.

[0022] Working principle: When using this device, firstly, the controller 17 controls the electric slide rail 111 to work, and then the electric slider 112 drives the sliding frame 10 to slide until the sliding frame 10 slides to the rear side of the mixing tank 2. Then, the cylinder 12 is controlled to push the sliding plate 13. When the tank cover 3 just covers the mixing tank 2, it stops. Then, the prepared ingredients are put into the feed box 14, the valve is opened, and the ingredients fall into the mixing tank 2. Then, the motor 4 is turned on to drive the rotating shaft 5 to rotate. Under the action of the rotating shaft 5 and the stirring rod 6, the mixing begins. During the mixing process, the ingredients adhering to the inner wall of the tank will be scraped off by the scraper 7 and fall into the mixing tank 2. When the mixing is finished, the motor 4 is turned off, the valve of the discharge port on the lower side of the mixing tank 2 is opened, and the mixed raw materials fall into the receiving box 1.

[0023] When it is necessary to clean the inner wall of the tank, the water source is connected to the water inlet pipe on the ring water pipe 8, allowing water to enter the ring water pipe 8. The nozzle 9 starts spraying water towards the inner wall. Then, the motor 4 is turned on to drive the rotating shaft 5 to rotate. The scraper 7 works with the nozzle 9 to effectively clean the mixing tank 2. When it is necessary to clean the mixing rod 6, the cylinder 12 is first controlled to raise the sliding plate 13. Then, the electric slide rail 111 is opened, and the electric slider 112 drives the sliding frame 10 to move to the rear side of the collection trough 15. The cylinder 12 is controlled to lower the sliding plate 13 until the first cylindrical brush 169 and the second cylindrical brush 163 can clean the mixing rod 6. During the descent of the sliding plate 13, the brushes start to clean the scraper 7. The first and second cylindrical brushes start to rotate and clean the mixing rod 6 under the action of the drive motor 164, the drive wheel 165, the driven wheel 166 and the synchronous belt 167.
