Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cat food processing technology and equipment, and in particular relates to a chopping and mixing machine for producing pet food cat food sticks. Background Technology
[0002] A meat chopper is a key piece of equipment for producing and processing minced meat and ground meat products. The high-speed rotating blades shred the raw materials while simultaneously mixing the shredded ingredients into a uniform emulsion. The chopper can be configured to select appropriate chopping times based on the material being processed, preserving the texture of the filling. During operation, the optimal combination of blade speed, pot speed, and the gap between the blades and the rotating pot results in finely chopped products with minimal temperature rise and short chopping times. In particular, the emulsification process significantly enhances the fineness and elasticity of sausage products, maximizing the emulsification effect, elasticity, and smoothness of meat products.
[0003] Currently, in the production and processing of cat meat sticks, the preparation of cat meat sticks mainly uses meat materials, and meat choppers are widely used, making the process of obtaining raw materials for cat meat stick preparation convenient. However, existing conventional meat choppers have certain drawbacks during use: on the one hand, the meat chopper is in a semi-open state during operation, and the materials inside are prone to leakage and splashing during processing. Moreover, the semi-open nature of the meat chopper makes it easy to be contaminated when in contact with the external environment, and the processing sealing effect is not high. On the other hand, the process of discharging the processed materials from the equipment mostly relies on manual control of the position of the guide device. Due to the influence of manual control, the discharge direction of the formed materials is uncontrollable, and there is a possibility of overflowing from the discharge port, resulting in material loss and failing to meet the usage requirements.

[0012] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0013] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0014] Examples, such as Figures 1-6As shown, a chopper for producing cat food jerky includes a chopper body, which includes a mounting base 1 to ensure the stability of the device's position. A placement cylinder 2 is positioned above the mounting base 1, and a chopping pot 3 is placed inside the placement cylinder 2. The chopping pot 3 can rotate relative to the placement cylinder 2. When the chopping mechanism 8 is performing chopping operations, the chopping pot 3 rotates relative to the placement cylinder 2. This not only chops the material inside the chopping pot 3 but also mixes it by rotating the pot 3, ensuring smooth subsequent processing. Furthermore, an L-shaped support frame 4 is provided on the rear side of the mounting base 1, and a vertical drive air mechanism is positioned above the support frame 4. The output end of cylinder 5, a vertical drive cylinder 5, is equipped with a sealing component that integrates chopping and material discharge functions. The vertical drive cylinder 5 controls its vertical movement to facilitate convenient adjustment of its position. When the sealing component is away from the chopping pot 3, it allows for easy input of materials to ensure smooth subsequent chopping operations. When the sealing component is positioned above the chopping pot 3, it facilitates the chopping mechanism 8 in chopping the materials within the pot 3 and prevents material splashing. Furthermore, the sealing component includes a ring cover 6, which is positioned outside the placement cylinder 2 and the chopping pot 3, with its front end positioned above the discharge mechanism 10, ensuring the stability of its position. An inner limit cover 7 is provided, which is hollow and cooperates with the ring cover 6. The lower end face of the limit cover 7 is flush with the upper end face of the chopping pot 3, which can ensure the smooth chopping process of materials in the chopping pot 3 and improve the work process. Furthermore, a concave frame 71 is provided on the rear side of the limit cover 7, and a chopping mechanism 8 is provided in the concave frame 71. This mechanism chops the materials in the chopping pot 3 to ensure the processing process. A feeding mechanism 9 is provided on one side of the concave frame 71, which can be adjusted vertically. The position of the feeding mechanism 9 can be freely adjusted according to the amount of material in the chopping pot 3 to ensure the smooth discharge of materials in the chopping pot 3 and improve the functionality of the equipment. The inner support frame 4... A vertical slide bar 41 is provided on the side, and a slider 42 is provided on the vertical slide bar 41 and connected to the outside of the sealing component. One end of the slider 42 is connected to the sealing component. When the vertical drive cylinder 5 is controlled to run, it can act on the sealing component and drive it to move freely up and down in the vertical direction to prevent it from deviating during the movement and adjustment process and ensure the use requirements. A discharge mechanism 10 is provided on the outside of the placement cylinder 2. On the one hand, it can seal the sealing component to ensure the smooth operation of material chopping in the equipment. On the other hand, it can receive the material discharged by the feeding mechanism 9 during use and guide it to facilitate the smooth discharge of the material and ensure the smooth operation of subsequent collection work to meet the use requirements. In the above process: the established sealing component, controlled by a vertically driven cylinder 5, moves vertically to facilitate easy adjustment of its position. When the sealing component is away from the chopping pot 3, it is convenient to add the material to be processed, ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent chopping. When the sealing component is positioned above the chopping pot 3, the chopping mechanism 8 can chop the material in the chopping pot 3, preventing splashing. The established feeding mechanism 9 can be vertically adjusted, and its position can be freely adjusted according to the amount of material in the chopping pot 3, ensuring smooth discharge of material from the chopping pot 3 and improving the efficiency of the equipment. Functionally, the established discharge mechanism 10 can, on the one hand, seal the sealing components to ensure the smooth operation of material chopping within the equipment; on the other hand, it can receive and guide the material discharged by the feeding mechanism 9 during use, facilitating the smooth discharge of the material and ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent collection work, thus meeting the usage requirements. This device is reasonably designed, has a simple structure, is easy to process, and can conveniently seal the raw material processing process, preventing material splashing or contamination and ensuring molding quality. At the same time, it can be conveniently adjusted according to the amount of material in the equipment and can achieve continuous material discharge, reducing the possibility of overflow during the material discharge process, saving materials, and meeting usage requirements.
[0015] To ensure the smooth completion of the chopping operation and improve the rationality of the device setup, the chopping mechanism 8 includes a drive shaft 81 spanning the ring cover 6 and the limiting cover 7. A blade holder 82 is provided on the outside of the drive shaft 81, and blades 83 are provided on the blade holder 82. Specifically, the drive shaft 81 extends through the outside of the ring cover 6 and the limiting cover 7. A drive motor is provided at the end of the drive shaft 81. The drive motor can be mounted on the ring cover 6 and provides driving power to the drive shaft 81 to ensure the smooth operation of the chopping operation. For the blades 83 on the blade holder 82, adjacent blades 83 are arranged in an alternating pattern to ensure comprehensiveness in the cutting process, improve the functionality of the device, and meet the usage requirements.
[0016] To further improve the rationality of the device setup, especially to facilitate the discharge of materials from the chopping pot 3, a mounting groove is provided inside the limiting cover 7. A limiting strip 73 is installed within the mounting groove of the limiting cover 7. The feeding mechanism 9 includes a limiting block 91 positioned between the two limiting strips 73. The limiting block 91 is designed in an I-shape and can be vertically adjusted relative to the limiting strips 73. A concave-shaped lifting frame 92 is installed above the limiting block 91. A vertical rack 93 is installed on one side of the lifting frame 92. Above the ring cover 6 is... A fixed base 94 is provided, on which a rotating gear 95 is mounted and meshes with a vertical rack 93. A connecting rod 96 is provided between two limiting blocks 91, and a conical feeding plate 97 is provided between the two connecting rods 96. A discharge chute 74 is provided inside the limiting cover 7 on one side of the feeding plate 97. The discharge chute 74 provides sufficient discharge clearance for the material. Specifically, the rotating gear 95 on the fixed base 94 is used to receive the driving power provided by an external motor. When the material in the chopping pot 3 enters the mixing pot... During the chopping and mixing operation, the feeding disc 97 is placed inside the limiting cover 7, and the lower end face of the feeding disc 97 is placed on the upper end face of the chopping pot 3. When the material in the chopping pot 3 needs to be discharged, the rotation of the control gear 95 is activated and acts on the vertical rack 93. After receiving the driving power, the vertical rack 93 acts on the lifting frame 92, causing the lifting frame 92 to drive the limiting block 91 and the connecting rod 96 to move vertically, which in turn acts on the feeding disc 97. The feeding disc 97 and the connecting rod 96 can be rotatably set relative to the limiting block 91. According to the amount of material in the chopping pot 3, adjust the position of the feeding plate 97, especially control the cooperation effect between the feeding plate 97 and the inner side of the chopping pot 3. When the chopping pot 3 rotates circumferentially, the feeding plate 97 corresponds to the rotation path of the chopping pot 3. Due to the setting of the feeding plate 97, the material in the chopping pot 3 can be guided to the outside by the feeding plate 97, especially close to the discharge chute 74. Finally, it is discharged outward through the discharge chute 74 to the discharge mechanism 10, which greatly improves the functionality of the device and ensures the convenience of material discharge, meeting the usage requirements.
[0017] To facilitate the outward discharge of materials via the feeding mechanism 9 and enable convenient collection, the discharge mechanism 10 includes a mounting frame 101 located on the outside of the placement cylinder 2. The lower end of the mounting frame 101 rests on the upper surface of the placement cylinder 2, and its inner side is arc-shaped to correspond to the outer periphery of the ring cover 6, with its height corresponding to the height of the ring cover 6. Below the mounting frame 101 is a discharge cover 102 with an arc-shaped conical design, which is fixedly connected to the outer side of the placement cylinder 2 to ensure smooth discharge. A longitudinal drive cylinder 103 is mounted on the mounting frame 101. The output end of 103 is provided with a movable plate 104. Concave-shaped limiting slides 105 are provided on both sides of the upper part of the mounting bracket 101. A mounting rod 106 is provided above the movable plate 104. Pulleys 107 are provided on both sides of the mounting rod 106 and are adapted to the limiting slides 105. An arc-shaped sealing plate 108 is provided on the outer side of the movable plate 104. A blocking plate 1081 corresponding to the discharge chute 74 is provided on one side of the sealing plate 108. A slot 61 adapted to the sealing plate 108 is provided on the outer side of the ring cover 6. During use, the sealing plate 108 is adapted to the slot 61 of the ring cover 6. The material blocking plate 1081 corresponds to the discharge groove 74 of the limiting cover 7. This design allows for the matching of the placement positions of the ring cover 6 and the limiting cover 7 to ensure the sealing performance of the sealing assembly during use. The material feeding plate 97 in the feeding mechanism 9 is placed above the chopping pot 3, and with the cooperation of the sealing plate 108 and the material blocking plate 1081, it ensures the smooth chopping operation in the chopping pot 3 and guarantees the processing progress. During discharge, the longitudinal drive cylinder 103 is controlled to run and act on the moving plate 104, while the mounting rod 106 is placed above the moving plate 104, and the pulley 107 is placed inside the limiting slide bar 105. This design makes the moving plate 104 move more smoothly during adjustment, ensuring the needs of use. The sealing plate 108 and the blocking plate 1081 are separated from one side of the sealing assembly and placed at the tail end inside the mounting frame 101. The discharge cover 102 has a hollow design. The feeding mechanism 9 discharges the material in the chopping pot 3 and discharges it through the discharge chute 74, and then falls into the discharge cover 102. This allows the material to be discharged from the bottom of the discharge cover 102, making it convenient for people to smoothly discharge the material in the chopping pot 3 and greatly reducing the possibility of material overflow. This improves the functionality of the device and meets the needs of use.
[0018] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
