Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet food production mold technology, specifically a square two-color mold for stable placement in the production of freeze-dried pet food. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of the economy and the sustained improvement of people's living standards, more and more families are raising pet dogs and cats, which has driven the rapid development of the pet food market. Freeze-dried pet food, as a novel and popular product, has gradually become one of the mainstream products in the market.
[0003] However, existing square two-color molds for producing freeze-dried pet food with stable placement have some drawbacks in practical use: Firstly, the products are mostly single-color squares, cylinders, or sheets, resulting in limited color and shape options. This fails to meet pet owners' demands for diverse product appearances and makes it difficult to achieve visually appealing functional or flavor combinations, thus restricting the product's market competitiveness. Secondly, the common round and cylinder structures in existing products suffer from poor placement stability, easily rolling around on the ground or in food bowls. This not only inconveniences pet owners when picking up and feeding the food but also increases the difficulty for pets to pick up and chew, negatively impacting their eating experience. Most existing molds for producing freeze-dried pet food can only produce single-color, single-shape products, failing to simultaneously address the multiple needs of two-color combination production, stable product placement, and convenient pet access.
[0004] To address this issue, we designed a stable, square, two-color mold for producing freeze-dried pet food. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stable, square, two-color mold for producing freeze-dried pet food, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a stable square two-color mold for producing freeze-dried pet food, including a mold body. A connecting component and a discharge pipe are connected sequentially to the bottom of the mold body. A square cavity that runs vertically through the mold body is provided inside the mold body. A circular pipe is fixedly installed inside the square cavity. Both the square cavity and the circular pipe are connected to the discharge pipe.
[0007] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes a first connecting block fixedly installed at the bottom of the mold body and a second connecting block fixedly installed at the top of the discharge pipe. The first connecting block and the second connecting block are fixedly connected. The first connecting block has a pressing cavity that runs vertically through it, and the second connecting block has a forming cavity that runs vertically through it. The square cavity and the circular pipe are both connected to the pressing cavity. The pressing cavity is connected to the discharge pipe through the forming cavity.
[0008] Furthermore, the inner wall of the molding cavity near the bottom is provided with a groove, and there are multiple grooves, which are evenly distributed around the circumference of the molding cavity.
[0009] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the pressing cavity is an isosceles trapezoid, and the upper base of the pressing cavity is longer than the lower base.
[0010] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the molding cavity is rectangular, and the corners of the molding cavity are rounded.
[0011] Furthermore, a fixed bracket is fixedly provided on the inner side wall of the mold body, and the circular pipe is fixedly installed at the center of the fixed bracket.
[0012] Furthermore, the outer arc wall of the second connecting block is fixedly provided with a threaded portion, a reinforcing rib is fixedly provided between the lower surface of the second connecting block and the outer arc wall of the discharge pipe, and an annular block is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the discharge pipe.
[0013] Furthermore, the square cavity is aligned with the central axis of the circular pipe.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. In this utility model, by setting up independent but interconnected square cavities and circular pipes in the mold body, the synchronous conveying and molding of different colors and raw materials are realized, which can produce two-color freeze-dried pet food with an outer square and an inner circle. This not only enriches the appearance of the product, but also allows for differentiated material ratios according to needs, realizing visual functional or flavor combinations, providing pet owners with a new feeding experience, while making it easy to grab and feed, and increasing interaction with pets; 2. In this utility model, a square outer layer structure design is adopted, which greatly improves the stability of the product placement compared with traditional round and stick-shaped products. It effectively solves the drawback of existing products that are easy to roll around on the ground or in the food bowl, making it easier for pets to pick up and chew food with their mouths, thus improving the pets' eating experience. 3. In this utility model, the pressing cavity, forming cavity and related auxiliary structures of the connecting components are reasonably designed. For example, the isosceles trapezoidal pressing cavity ensures the tight fit of the inner and outer layers of materials, the groove of the forming cavity enhances the stability of the finished product placement, and the rounded corner design avoids the safety hazards caused by sharp edges and corners.

[0017] 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.
[0018] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a stable square two-color mold for producing freeze-dried pet food, including a mold body 1, a connecting component 2 and a discharge pipe 3 connected sequentially to the bottom of the mold body 1, a square cavity 4 that runs vertically through the mold body 1, a circular pipe 5 fixedly installed in the square cavity 4, and both the square cavity 4 and the circular pipe 5 are connected to the discharge pipe 3.
[0019] In practical implementation, the mold body 1 serves as the core component, used to accommodate and guide the flow of materials. The square cavity 4 and the circular pipe 5 are used to convey pet food materials of two different colors or ingredients for the outer and inner layers, respectively, to achieve a two-color effect. The connecting component 2 and the discharge pipe 3 ensure that the material is smoothly discharged from the mold body 1 and formed.
[0020] See Figure 1 and Figure 3The connecting component 2 includes a first connecting block 6 fixedly installed at the bottom of the mold body 1 and a second connecting block 7 fixedly installed at the top of the discharge pipe 3. The first connecting block 6 and the second connecting block 7 are fixedly connected. The first connecting block 6 has a vertically penetrating pressing cavity 8, and the second connecting block 7 has a vertically penetrating forming cavity 9. The square cavity 4 and the circular pipe 5 are both connected to the pressing cavity 8, and the pressing cavity 8 is connected to the discharge pipe 3 through the forming cavity 9. This structure allows the material to be initially pressed in the pressing cavity 8 and then enter the forming cavity 9 for final shaping, ensuring a tight bond between the two colors.
[0021] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The molding cavity 9 has multiple grooves 10 on its inner sidewall near the bottom, which are evenly distributed around the circumference of the molding cavity 9. During the molding process, the grooves 10 create raised textures on the bottom surface of the product, increasing friction with the food bowl or the ground and improving stability when placed.
[0022] See Figure 3 The cross-sectional shape of the pressing cavity 8 is an isosceles trapezoid, with the upper base longer than the lower base. This design causes the material to be gradually compressed as it flows downward, promoting the adhesion between the outer and inner layers and preventing separation.
[0023] See Figure 3 The cross-sectional shape of the molding cavity 9 is rectangular, and the corners of the molding cavity 9 are rounded with corners 11. The rectangular structure makes the outer material form a square, and the rounded corners 11 blunt the corners of the finished product to prevent sharp corners and improve the product's appearance and safety.
[0024] See Figure 3 A fixed bracket 12 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the mold body 1, and the circular pipe 5 is fixedly installed at the center of the fixed bracket 12. The fixed bracket 12 ensures that the circular pipe 5 remains stable in the square cavity 4, prevents displacement, and ensures the uniformity of material flow.
[0025] See Figure 1 The outer arc wall of the second connecting block 7 is fixedly provided with a threaded part 13, and a reinforcing rib 14 is fixedly provided between the lower surface of the second connecting block 7 and the outer arc wall of the discharge pipe 3. An annular block 15 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the discharge pipe 3. The threaded part 13 facilitates the fixed connection between the mold and the external freeze-drying food production equipment; the reinforcing rib 14 enhances the connection strength between the second connecting block 7 and the discharge pipe 3; the annular block 15 is used for positioning and limiting to ensure accurate mold installation.
[0026] See Figure 2 The square cavity 4 is aligned with the central axis of the circular pipe 5. This alignment design ensures that the inner and outer layers of material are symmetrically distributed during the flow process, avoiding product misalignment after molding and improving product quality.
[0027] Working principle: In use, the mold is first fixedly connected to the external freeze-drying food production equipment via the threaded portion 13 on the outer arc wall of the second connecting block 7. The annular block 15 serves as a positioning and limiting element, ensuring accurate mold installation. Then, two different colored or raw pet food materials are injected into the square cavity 4 and the circular pipe 5 respectively. The outer material is conveyed downwards through the annular channel between the square cavity 4 and the circular pipe 5, while the inner material is simultaneously conveyed downwards through the internal channel of the circular pipe 5. After the two materials enter the isosceles trapezoidal pressing cavity 8 within the first connecting block 6, they are conveyed downwards... During the process, the material is squeezed by the pressing chamber 8 and gradually becomes tightly bonded. After bonding, the material continues to enter the forming chamber 9 in the second connecting block 7. The rectangular structure of the forming chamber 9 makes the outer material form a square, and the groove 10 on the inner sidewall makes the bottom surface of the formed product form a corresponding raised texture, increasing the friction with the food bowl / or the ground and further improving stability. The rounded corner 11 transitions to blunt the edges and corners of the finished product. Finally, the formed outer square and inner circular two-color material is discharged through the discharge pipe 3 and enters the subsequent freeze-drying process, ultimately forming a stable two-color freeze-dried pet food.
[0028] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
