Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cat litter production technology, specifically a cat litter material dispensing device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, woven bags are the primary storage and transport containers for cat litter materials in the industry. While this method meets basic material carrying requirements, it presents significant operational challenges in actual material handling and is ill-suited to the efficiency, safety, and environmental requirements of modern production.

[0003] The existing material handling process relies on manual operation. First, operators need to manually cut open the woven bags with tools such as knives, or untie the sealing ropes of the woven bags one by one. This is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also prone to hand cuts due to improper force control during the bag-cutting process, posing a significant safety hazard. At the same time, manual bag-breaking is inefficient, the labor intensity of workers is high, and it affects the overall production efficiency.

[0004] More importantly, the manual dumping of cat litter generates a large amount of dust. Due to the lack of a closed operating environment for manual material handling, the dust will spread everywhere with the dumping action. On the one hand, this seriously pollutes the workshop working environment and increases the cost of equipment cleaning and workshop maintenance; on the other hand, if the scattered dust is inhaled by the operators, it will have a long-term adverse effect on their respiratory health, which does not meet the requirements of safe production and occupational health protection.

[0005] Therefore, a cat litter dispensing device is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cat litter dispensing device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a cat litter dispensing device, comprising a shell, wherein two flaps for carrying woven bags of materials are symmetrically arranged on the bottom inner side of the shell, and nails are installed on the upper surface of the two flaps, and connecting rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of adjacent sides of the two flaps, the ends of the connecting rods are rotatably connected to the shell, and one end of the two connecting rods is respectively equipped with meshing gears;

[0008] A second support plate is installed in the middle of the inner side of the outer shell. A square tube is slidably connected to the second support plate. A double-edged blade is installed on the top of the square tube. A pull rope is fixedly connected to the bottom of the square tube. Both ends of the pull rope pass through the side wall of the outer shell.

[0009] Preferably, a protective cover for protecting the gear is installed on one side of the housing, and a motor for driving the gear to rotate is installed on one side of the housing.

[0010] Preferably, a cone-shaped hopper for discharging materials is installed at the bottom of the outer casing.

[0011] Preferably, a first support plate is installed on the inner side of the outer casing, and the side of the flap away from the connecting rod is located on the upper surface of the first support plate.

[0012] Preferably, a gap for discharging material is provided between the two flaps, the blade is located in the middle of the gap, and the tip of the blade is higher than the upper surface of the flap.

[0013] Preferably, two covers are symmetrically installed on the top of the outer shell.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: there is no need for manual cutting of the bag with a knife or unsealing of the drawstring. By pulling the drawstring, the double-edged blade can automatically cut the woven bag, avoiding the risk of hand cuts; with the help of motor-driven gear transmission, the flip plate can automatically tilt and pour the material, replacing manual pouring, greatly reducing labor intensity and making operation more labor-saving.

[0015] The outer shell, together with the top cover, forms a closed operating space. Materials fall into the cone hopper through the gap between the flaps and are discharged in a concentrated manner. This effectively prevents cat litter dust from scattering during the material handling process, which reduces dust pollution in the workshop environment, lowers equipment cleaning and workshop maintenance costs, and avoids operators inhaling dust and damaging their respiratory health, thus meeting the requirements for safe production and occupational health.

[0016] The nails on the flap can puncture and secure the woven bags, preventing them from shifting during loading or unloading. The first support plate supports the end of the flap, improving its load-bearing stability and preventing deformation under stress. The automatic bag breaking and automatic unloading processes are seamlessly integrated, reducing manual operation steps and significantly improving material handling efficiency. The cone hopper is easy to connect with subsequent processing and transportation equipment, making it suitable for modern cat litter production processes. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cat litter dispensing device, including a shell 1. Two flaps 3 are symmetrically arranged on the bottom inner side of the shell 1. These two flaps 3 are used to support woven bags containing cat litter material, providing a support base for subsequent dispensing. Each flap 3 has a nail post 8 installed on its upper surface. The nail post 8 can puncture the woven bag to fix it, preventing the bag from shifting during the carrying process or subsequent dispensing. Connecting rods 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom of adjacent sides of each flap 3. The ends of the connecting rods 12 are rotatably connected to the shell 1, providing support points for the rotation of the flaps 3. One end of each connecting rod 12 is respectively equipped with meshing gears 7. Through the meshing transmission of the two gears 7, the two flaps 3 can be driven to rotate synchronously, so that the flaps 3 can tilt and dispensing material later.

[0024] A second support plate 10 is installed in the middle of the inner side of the outer casing 1. The second support plate 10 provides sliding support for the square tube 14. The square tube 14 is slidably connected to the second support plate 10. A double-edged blade 11 is installed on the top of the square tube 14. The blade 11 is used to cut the woven bag containing materials that is supported on the flip plate 3, so that the materials inside the bag can be poured out smoothly. A pull rope 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the square tube 14. Both ends of the pull rope 5 pass through the side wall of the outer casing 1. By pulling the pull rope 5, the square tube 14 can be slid on the second support plate 10, which in turn drives the blade 11 to move, thereby realizing the cutting operation of the woven bag.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown: A protective cover 13 is installed on one side of the outer casing 1. The protective cover 13 can protect the gear 7, prevent the gear 7 from being interfered with by external impurities when rotating, and prevent the operator from accidentally touching the rotating gear 7 and getting injured. A motor 4 is installed on one side of the outer casing 1. The motor 4 is used to drive one gear 7 to rotate. With the meshing relationship of the gear 7, it drives the other gear 7 to rotate, thereby realizing the automatic tilting of the flip plate 3 without manual driving, improving the ease of operation of the equipment.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown: A conical hopper 6 is installed at the bottom of the outer casing 1. The conical hopper 6 is used to collect cat litter material poured out from the flap 3. Its conical structure guides the material to fall in a concentrated manner, and a valve can be installed at its bottom opening or it can be directly connected to subsequent processing and transportation equipment. This ensures a clean material handling process and facilitates subsequent collection and transfer of materials.

[0027] like Figure 4As shown: A first support plate 9 is installed on the inner side of the outer shell 1. The side of the flip plate 3 away from the connecting rod 12 is located on the upper surface of the first support plate 9. The first support plate 9 can support the side of the flip plate 3 away from the connecting rod 12, enhance the stability of the flip plate 3 when carrying the woven bag, and prevent the flip plate 3 from deforming or being damaged due to uneven force.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown: There is a gap between the two flaps 3, which provides a channel for material to be poured out, so that the material inside the woven bag after being cut can fall through the gap; the blade 11 is located in the middle of the gap, and the top of the blade 11 is higher than the upper surface of the flap 3. This setting can ensure that the blade 11 can accurately contact and cut the woven bag on the flap 3 when it moves, avoiding the situation that the blade 11 cannot effectively cut the woven bag because it is too low.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown: Two covers 2 are symmetrically installed on the top of the outer casing 1. The covers 2 can be closed on the top of the outer casing 1 to prevent dust from spreading when materials are being retrieved. When woven bags need to be placed, the covers 2 can be opened to conveniently place the woven bags on the flip plate 3, thus balancing equipment protection and operational convenience.

[0030] Working principle: Before unloading materials, operators do not need complicated procedures. They only need to flip up the two symmetrically installed covers 2 on the top of the outer shell 1 and place the woven bag containing materials directly onto the two flip plates 3 on the bottom inner side of the outer shell 1. At this time, the nail posts 8 on the upper surface of the flip plates 3 will automatically puncture the woven bag and secure it. After the woven bag is placed, the two covers 2 are closed, forming a relatively closed space inside the outer shell 1, preventing dust from being dispersed outwards in advance during subsequent material unloading.

[0031] After the woven bag is secured and the cover 2 is closed, the operator does not need to reach inside the outer shell 1. They only need to pull the two ends of the pull rope 5 that runs through the side wall of the outer shell 1. The pull rope 5 will drive the square tube 14, which is fixedly connected to its bottom, to slide stably in the horizontal direction on the second support plate 10. Since the blade 11 at the top of the square tube 14 has a double-edged structure and is located exactly in the middle of the gap between the two flip plates 3, and the top of the blade 11 is higher than the upper surface of the flip plate 3, the blade 11 can accurately contact and cut the bottom of the woven bag during the sliding process, easily completing the bag-breaking operation. No additional tools are needed throughout the process, greatly reducing the intensity of manual labor and further improving the convenience of material handling.

[0032] After the bag is broken, the motor 4 installed on one side of the outer shell 1 is started. The motor 4 drives a gear 7 connected to it to rotate. Through the transmission of two meshing gears 7, the two connecting rods 12, which are fixedly connected to the gears 7, rotate synchronously. The connecting rods 12 then pull the two flaps 3 to rotate and tilt synchronously towards the gap between them, which significantly improves the convenience of automatic material unloading. During the tilting process, the material in the woven bag falls directly into the cone hopper 6 at the bottom of the outer shell 1 through the gap between the flaps 3. The cone-shaped structure of the cone hopper 6 guides the material to fall in a concentrated manner.

[0033] Material falling into the cone hopper 6 can be directly connected to subsequent processing or transportation equipment through the bottom of the cone hopper 6, eliminating the need for manual transfer and handling, further simplifying the material handling process and improving overall convenience. Throughout the entire discharge process, the material is always transported within the connection channel between the cone hopper 6 and the subsequent equipment, and dust remains in a relatively closed path, minimizing dust dispersion throughout the material handling process, thus balancing operational convenience and a clean working environment.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
