[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 One embodiment provided by this utility model:

[0023] A pet food processing mixer includes a mixing tank 1, a feed hopper 11 fixedly connected to the surface of the mixing tank 1, a discharge pipe 12 fixedly connected to the bottom of the mixing tank 1, a controller 13 mounted on the surface of the mixing tank 1, a stirring mechanism mounted on the surface of the mixing tank 1, and a cleaning mechanism mounted on the surface of the mixing tank 1. The cleaning mechanism includes a multi-stage telescopic rod 2, which is fixedly connected to the top inner side of the mixing tank 1. A water supply ring pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the multi-stage telescopic rod 2. A cleaning nozzle 22 is mounted on the surface of the water supply ring pipe 21. A water pump 23 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mixing tank 1. A water inlet pipe 24 is fixedly connected to the input end of the water pump 23. A water outlet hose 25 is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 23. The end of the water outlet hose 25 away from the water pump 23 is fixedly connected to the surface of the water supply ring pipe 21. The surface of the mixing tank 1 is also fixedly connected to... A support frame 3 is fixedly connected to a servo motor 31. A double-headed worm gear 32 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 31. A first rotating rod 33 is rotatably connected to the surface of the mixing tank 1. A worm wheel 34 is fixedly connected to one end of the first rotating rod 33, and a take-up reel 35 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first rotating rod 33. A connecting rope 36 is wound around the surface of the take-up reel 35, and the end of the connecting rope 36 is fixedly connected to the surface of the water supply ring pipe 21. This cleaning mechanism sprays water from the cleaning nozzles 22 on the water supply ring pipe 21 to clean the inside of the mixing tank 1. The cleaning nozzles 22 are distributed on both the inner and outer rings of the water supply ring pipe 21. With the horizontal lifting and lowering of the water supply ring pipe 21 inside the mixing tank 1, the cleaning operation can be carried out simultaneously on the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 and the working end of the stirring mechanism, avoiding the trouble of manual cleaning and improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0024] Furthermore, the stirring mechanism includes a fixed frame 4, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the mixing tank 1. A drive motor 41 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed frame 4. A stirring shaft 42 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 41. A stirring rod 43 is fixedly connected to the surface of the stirring shaft 42. A first pulley 44 is fixedly connected to the surface of the stirring rod 43. A second rotating rod 47 is rotatably connected to the surface of the feed hopper 11. A second pulley 46 is fixedly connected to the top of the second rotating rod 47. A spiral blade 48 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second rotating rod 47. A drive belt 45 is connected between the first pulley 44 and the second pulley 46. While driving the water pump 23 to rotate and stir, the stirring mechanism can also drive the spiral blade 48 to rotate at the bottom of the feed hopper 11. This allows the material entering the mixing tank 1 from the feed hopper 11 to enter the mixing tank 1 evenly through the rotation of the spiral blade 48, so that different types of materials can contact and blend with each other more orderly in the mixing tube, ensuring the mixing quality.

[0025] Furthermore, two sets of multi-stage telescopic rods 2 are provided. The water conveying ring pipe 21 moves horizontally up and down inside the mixing tank 1 through the two sets of multi-stage telescopic rods 2. The multi-stage telescopic rods 2 allow the water conveying ring pipe 21 to be raised and lowered to the bottom of the mixing tank 1. Multiple sets of cleaning nozzles 22 are provided, and the cleaning nozzles 22 are evenly distributed on the inner and outer rings of the water conveying ring pipe 21. One end of the water inlet pipe 24 is connected to the water source. The water pump 23 delivers the water source to the inside of the water conveying ring pipe 21 through the water inlet pipe 24 and the water outlet hose 25. The water conveying ring pipe 21 outputs the water source through the multiple sets of cleaning nozzles 22, and at the same time cleans the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, the stirring shaft 42, and the stirring rod 43. The water outlet hose 25 adapts to the raising and lowering of the water conveying ring pipe 21 by deformation. A circular hole is opened at the top of the mixing tank 1, and ball bearings are provided on the side of the circular hole to ensure that the water outlet hose 25 can pass through the circular hole of the mixing tank 1, while avoiding damage to the water outlet hose 25.

[0026] Furthermore, the servo motor 31 drives the double-headed worm gear 32 to rotate via the output shaft. Two sets of worm wheels 34 are provided, and the two sets of worm wheels 34 mesh with the double-headed worm gear 32. The double-headed worm gear 32 drives the worm wheels 34 to rotate via the rotation. The worm wheels 34 drive the take-up reels 35 to rotate synchronously via the first rotating rod 33. The two sets of take-up reels 35 rotate in opposite directions, but the two sets of take-up reels 35 synchronously wind and unwind the connecting rope 36.

[0027] Furthermore, the winding reel 35 unwinds the connecting rope 36 by rotating, and when the winding reel 35 unwinds, the water delivery ring pipe 21 descends horizontally inside the mixing tank 1. A guide hole is provided on the surface of the mixing tank 1, and ball bearings are provided on the side of the guide hole, which ensures the movement of the connecting rope 36 while reducing the friction of the connecting rope 36 on the mixing tank 1.

[0028] Furthermore, the drive motor 41 drives the stirring shaft 42 to rotate through the output shaft. The stirring shaft 42 drives the stirring rod 43 to rotate inside the mixing tank 1, thereby mixing the materials inside the mixing tank 1. The stirring shaft 42 drives the first pulley 44 to rotate synchronously, thereby providing power to the spiral blades 48 at the feed point.

[0029] Furthermore, the first pulley 44 drives the second pulley 46 to rotate synchronously via the drive belt 45. The second pulley 46 drives the spiral blade 48 to rotate at the bottom of the feed hopper 11 via the second rotating rod 47. During the rotation, the spiral blade 48 evenly transports the material inside the feed hopper 11 to the mixing tank 1.

[0030] Working principle: When cleaning the inside of the mixing tank 1 is required, the operator starts the water pump 23 through the controller 13. The water pump 23 draws water from an external water source through the inlet pipe 24. After being pressurized by the water pump 23, the water is delivered to the water delivery ring pipe 21 through the outlet hose 25. Since the cleaning nozzles 22 are distributed in both the inner and outer rings of the water delivery ring pipe 21, water will be sprayed from these cleaning nozzles 22, forming a large area of ​​water spray coverage. At the same time, the controller 13 controls the servo motor 31 to start, and the output shaft of the servo motor 31 drives the double-headed worm gear 32 to rotate. The double-headed worm gear 32 meshes with two sets of worm wheels 34, driving the worm wheels 34 to rotate. The worm wheels 34 drive the winding reel 35 to rotate synchronously through the first rotating rod 33. The two sets of winding reels 35 simultaneously release or wind the connecting rope 36. With the extension and retraction of the two sets of multi-stage telescopic rods 2, the water conveying ring pipe 21 can be raised and lowered horizontally inside the mixing tank 1. At this time, the water sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 22 can simultaneously clean the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 and the working ends of the stirring shaft 42 and stirring rod 43 in the stirring mechanism, avoiding the trouble of manual cleaning and significantly improving cleaning efficiency.

[0031] During pet food processing, the operator starts the drive motor 41. The output shaft of the drive motor 41 drives the stirring shaft 42 to rotate. The stirring rod 43 on the stirring shaft 42 then rotates inside the mixing tank 1, mixing the materials entering the mixing tank 1. Simultaneously, the first pulley 44 on the surface of the stirring rod 43 rotates synchronously with the stirring shaft 42. The first pulley 44 drives the second pulley 46 to rotate via the drive belt 45. The second pulley 46 is mounted on the top of the second rotating rod 47, thereby driving the second rotating rod 47 to rotate. The spiral blades 48 at the bottom of the second rotating rod 47 begin to rotate at the bottom of the feed hopper 11. The rotation of the spiral blades 48 ensures that the materials in the feed hopper 11 can enter the mixing tank 1 evenly, allowing different types of materials to come into contact and blend more orderly within the mixing tank 1, effectively ensuring the mixing quality of the pet food.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
