Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet food production technology, specifically to a side-feeding mechanism and an extrusion device for high-meat pet food containing the mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Pet food is a high-end animal food specifically designed for dogs, falling between human food and traditional livestock feed. Its main function is to provide various pets with the most basic nutrients needed for life, growth, development, and health. During its production and extrusion process, it is usually necessary to add materials of various degrees of doneness. Traditional extrusion equipment typically adds meat paste. However, during the feeding process, traditional extrusion equipment is prone to problems such as hopper blockage and difficulty in flow adjustment when feeding high-meat-content viscous materials. Therefore, a side-feeding mechanism and a high-meat pet food extrusion equipment containing this mechanism are needed.

[0003] Although the device has many beneficial effects, the following problems still exist: In the traditional pet food extrusion preparation process, since the materials to be prepared are in the form of bone paste granules, which are mostly viscous paste-like substances, a lot of stirring is required during processing to achieve the purpose of mixing. However, the volume and weight of the materials to be processed are different. If the flow rate is not adjusted in time during the preparation and feeding process, material blockage will occur at the discharge port, thus affecting subsequent processing. Utility Model Content

Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0005] 1. Technical problems to be solved: In order to solve the problem that the flow rate may be difficult to adjust during the preparation and feeding process, which may lead to blockage and affect subsequent processing, this utility model is proposed.

[0006] 2. Technical Solution: To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A side-feeding mechanism includes an extrusion equipment body and a feeder welded to the outer circumference of the extrusion equipment body, and a feeding hopper welded to the top of the feeder. The feeder is provided with a drive assembly inside, and an adjustment assembly is provided on one side of the drive assembly.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner circumferential wall of the feed hopper is provided with a sliding groove, the outer circumferential wall of the sliding groove is provided with a square groove, a sliding ring is slidably connected to the inner circumferential wall of the sliding groove, and a groove is provided on the outer circumferential wall of the sliding ring. The track engages with the inner wall of the groove and passes through the inner wall of the square groove, wrapping around the outer circumferential wall of the auxiliary rod.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner circumferential wall of the slip ring is connected to multiple locking blocks by bolts, the inner wall of the slide groove away from the square groove is provided with multiple locking slots, the inner wall of the locking slot is connected to a ring by bolts, and the outer circumferential wall of the ring is welded with a spring.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, there are multiple springs arranged in a ring shape.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a retaining plate is welded to one end of the spring, a round rod is fixed to one end of the retaining plate, a circular groove is formed on the inner circumference of the ring, the round rod is slidably connected to the inner circumference of the groove, and a triangular plate is connected to one end of the round rod through a bearing.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner circumferential wall of the feed hopper is bolted to a crossbeam, the bottom of the crossbeam is fitted with the auxiliary rod, the top of the outer circumferential wall of the auxiliary rod is fitted with a track three, and the inner wall of the track three is fitted with the stirring shaft.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a high-meat pet food extrusion device includes the side feeding mechanism described in any one of the above.

[0016] 3. Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This side-feeding mechanism, driven by a motor, rotates a drive rod while simultaneously utilizing a track one that rotates in conjunction with a crossbar. This causes a horizontal gear to mesh with a vertical gear, which in turn links with a track two, allowing a slip ring to rotate on the inner wall of the chute. At the same time, a locking block continuously impacts a locking plate on the inner wall of the chute. Under the action of a spring, the locking plate causes a round rod to repeatedly extend and retract on the inner wall of the chute. Consequently, a triangular plate connected to one end of the round rod via a bearing continuously vibrates under the impact, thus patting the material inside the feed hopper. This achieves a diversion effect, thereby adjusting the stirring speed of the mixing blades and reducing the possibility of clogging in the feed hopper. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] This utility model provides an overall structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of a side-feeding mechanism and a high-meat pet food extrusion device containing the mechanism, including: Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: See also Figures 1-5 As shown, a side-feeding mechanism includes an extrusion equipment body 3 and a feeder 1 welded to the outer circumference of the extrusion equipment body 3. The feeder 1 is welded to the extrusion equipment body 3, allowing material to directly enter the interior of the extrusion equipment body 3 through the feed hopper 2 and the feeder 1, thereby mixing with the material from the conditioner. The feed hopper 2 is welded to the top of the feeder 1. The extrusion equipment body 3 adopts an extended length-to-diameter ratio structure, and the material can be secondary mixed by adjusting the screw speed at the feed inlet, which has little impact on the subsequent extrusion. The feeder 1 has a drive component 4 inside, and an adjustment component 5 is provided on one side of the drive component 4. The drive component 4 drives the adjustment component 5 to move horizontally along the inner wall of the feed hopper 2 via a motor.

[0025] See also Figures 2-4As shown, the drive assembly 4 includes a drive rod 41. A track 42 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the drive rod 41. A crossbar 43 is sleeved on the inner wall of the track 42. A vertical gear 44 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the crossbar 43. A horizontal gear 45 is meshed with the outer circumference of the vertical gear 44. An auxiliary rod 46 is sleeved inside the horizontal gear 45. A track 47 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the auxiliary rod 46. Under the drive of the motor, the crossbar 43 is rotated by the track 42, so that the vertical gear 44 can mesh with the horizontal gear 45, thereby achieving the effect of synchronous rotation of the auxiliary rod 46. This facilitates the simultaneous rotation of the slip ring 52 by the track 47, making it easy to adjust the flow rate of material feeding.

[0026] See also Figures 3-4 As shown, the inner circumferential wall of the feed hopper 2 is provided with a sliding groove 51, and the outer circumferential wall of the sliding groove 51 is provided with a square groove 48. A sliding ring 52 is slidably connected to the inner circumferential wall of the sliding groove 51, and a groove 53 is provided on the outer circumferential wall of the sliding ring 52. The second track 47 is engaged with the inner wall of the groove 53 and passes through the inner wall of the square groove 48 and wraps around the outer circumferential wall of the auxiliary rod 46. The auxiliary rod 46 drives the second track 47 to rotate, so that the sliding ring 52 rotates on the inner wall of the sliding groove 51, thereby facilitating subsequent operations.

[0027] See also Figures 3-4 As shown, the inner circumference of the slip ring 52 is connected to multiple locking blocks 54 by bolts. The inner wall of the slide groove 51 away from the square groove 48 is provided with multiple locking slots 56. The inner wall of the locking slot 56 is connected to a circular ring 510 by bolts. The outer circumference of the circular ring 510 is welded with a spring 57. By utilizing the extension and retraction of the spring 57, the circular rod 59 can extend and retract within the inner wall of the circular groove 58, thereby cooperating with the triangular plate 511 connected by the bearing to shake, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing blockage.

[0028] See also Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple springs 57, which are arranged in a ring shape, thereby facilitating the triangular plate 511 to strike and impact the material at multiple angles, thus reducing the possibility of material blockage.

[0029] See also Figure 4 As shown, a retaining plate 55 is welded to one end of the spring 57, and a round rod 59 is fixed to one end of the retaining plate 55. A circular groove 58 is formed on the inner circumference of the ring 510. The round rod 59 is slidably connected to the inner circumference of the groove 58. A triangular plate 511 is connected to one end of the round rod 59 through a bearing. The retaining block 54 continuously impacts the retaining plate 55 under the action of rotation, causing the round rod 59 to repeatedly extend and retract on the inner wall of the groove 58. As a result, the triangular plate 511 connected to one end of the round rod 59 through the bearing continuously shakes under the impact, thereby patting the material inside the feed hopper 2, thus achieving the effect of diversion and reducing the possibility of material blockage.

[0030] See also Figures 1-3 As shown, a support plate 11 is bolted to the bottom of the inner circumference of the feed hopper 2, and a base plate 10 is bolted to the top of the support plate 11. A stirring shaft 8 is sleeved on the top of the base plate 10. The stirring shaft 8 is fixed by the base plate 10 and the support plate 11 to reduce the possibility of the stirring shaft 8 shaking and affecting stability.

[0031] See also Figure 3 As shown, stirring blades 9 are sleeved on the outer circumference of the stirring shaft 8, the drive rod 41, and the crossbar 43. The stirring blades 9 are used to break up and separate the cooked meat material, making the material transportation more convenient and reducing the possibility of cooked meat clumping together.

[0032] See also Figures 1-3 As shown, a crossbar 6 is bolted to the inner circumference of the feed hopper 2. The bottom of the crossbar 6 is fitted with the auxiliary rod 46. The top of the outer circumference of the auxiliary rod 46 is fitted with a track 7. The inner wall of the track 7 is fitted with the stirring shaft 8. By cooperating with the auxiliary rod 46, the rotation frequency of the stirring shaft 8 is kept consistent with that of the drive rod 41 and the crossbar 43, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the speed.

[0033] In addition, the circuits, electronic components and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the internal structure and method.

[0034] Combination Figures 1-5 The side-feeding mechanism of this embodiment is used in the following specific way: 1. During use, after the operator moves the extrusion equipment body 3 to a suitable position, the material to be processed is fed into the feeder 1 through the feed hopper 2. The drive motor drives the drive rod 41 to rotate with the track 1 42, which in turn drives the crossbar 43 to rotate. At the same time, the vertical gear 44 meshes with the horizontal gear 45, which allows the auxiliary rod 46 to rotate synchronously. Thus, the track 2 47 and track 3 7 rotate synchronously. Under the drive of track 3 7, the stirring blades 9 on the surface of the stirring shaft 8 rotate simultaneously with the stirring blades 9 on the surfaces of the drive rod 41 and the crossbar 43. The speed of the internal stirring blades 9 can be adjusted by adjusting the frequency of the motor, making it suitable for various application scenarios. Under the action of track 2 47, the slip ring 52 slides and connects to the slide groove 51. At the same time, the locking block 54 continuously hits the locking plate 55 on the inner wall of the locking groove 56. Under the action of the spring 57, the locking plate 55 causes the round rod 59 to extend and retract on the inner wall of the round groove 58. Under the action of extension and retraction, the triangular plate 511 continuously beats the material inside the feed hopper 2, thereby reducing the possibility of blockage.

[0035] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
