However, for busy owners, how to ensure that pets are fed regularly and quantitatively when no one is taking care of them, as well as the safety and hygiene of the food, has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0003] The Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN220191571U discloses a smart feeder for pets. In this patent, the timed and quantitative delivery of food and the control of the delivery of food can be achieved through an electrical intelligent control system. In order to prevent the food from getting damp, this technology places a desiccant on the granary cover of the feeder. However, the desiccant mainly relies on physical adsorption or chemical absorption to remove moisture from the surrounding environment. Its moisture absorption capacity is limited and it can only have a certain moisture-proof effect on the food in a local area of ​​the granary. Once the desiccant is saturated, its moisture-proof ability will be greatly reduced, and it cannot ensure the dry state of all food in the granary. As a result, the food in the dry area is prone to mold and deterioration, which will affect the health of the pet.

[0004] Therefore, a kind of fully automatic sterilizing and drying feeder is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0034] The utility model provides a fully automatic disinfection and drying feeder, such as Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the feeder includes a control system, a box body 1, a transparent barrel 2 fixedly arranged on the top of the box body 1 and connected to the inside of the box body 1 for food storage, a discharge port 11 opened at the bottom of one side of the box body 1, a tray 3 for feeding fixedly arranged at a position of the box body 1 corresponding to the discharge port 11, and a quantitative unloading mechanism 4 arranged at the bottom of the transparent barrel 2 and connected to the output end of the control system for quantitatively transporting the food in the transparent barrel 2 to the box body 1; the feeder also includes an opening and closing baffle 13 symmetrically arranged inside the box body 1, a driving mechanism 14 arranged on the box body 1 for driving the two opening and closing baffles 13 to open and close and connected to the output end of the control system, and an ultraviolet disinfection lamp 15 and a dryer 16 fixedly arranged at a position above the corresponding opening and closing baffle 13 in the box body 1 and connected to the output end of the control system for food disinfection and drying; a temperature and humidity sensor 17 and an ultraviolet sensor 18 connected to the input end of the control system are respectively fixedly arranged at the positions of the dryer 16 and the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 15 in the box body 1.

[0035] When in use, first store the pet's food in the transparent barrel 2 in advance, and ensure that the feeder is powered on. The feeding time and quantity and other plans can be set in advance through the control system. When the feeding time arrives, the control system will send a signal to the quantitative feeding mechanism 4, and start the quantitative feeding mechanism 4 to quantitatively transport the food stored in the box 1 into the box 1. At this time, the food that quantitatively enters the box 1 will be stored in the space above the two opening and closing baffles 13 through the closed obstruction of the two opening and closing baffles 13. Then, in the process of the quantitative feeding mechanism 4 quantitatively transporting the food to the space above the two opening and closing baffles 13, the control system will send a signal to the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 15 and the dryer 16 accordingly, and start the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 15 to disinfect the food entering the box 1. The food is disinfected and sterilized and the dryer 16 is started to dry the food entering the box 1 to ensure the hygiene and safety of the food. When the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 15 and the dryer 16 are used for disinfection and drying, the temperature and humidity sensor 17 and the ultraviolet sensor 18 will monitor the temperature, humidity and ultraviolet intensity in the box 1 in real time, and transmit the data to the control system. After the temperature, humidity and ultraviolet intensity reach the preset values, the control system will send a signal to suspend the operation of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 15 and the dryer 16, and send a signal to the driving mechanism 14, which drives the two opening and closing baffles 13 to open. Then, the food after disinfection and drying can automatically fall from the discharge port 11 set on the box 1 into the tray 3 so that it can be eaten by pets.

[0036] Specifically, the driving mechanism 14 includes an installation box 141 fixedly installed on the side of the box body 1 away from the discharge port 11, a driving shaft 142 that transversely penetrates the installation box 141 and is rotatably connected to the installation box 141, a first bevel gear 143 symmetrically fixedly arranged on the driving shaft 142, a second bevel gear 144 that is rotatably arranged on the two first bevel gears 143 away from each other and meshes with the corresponding first bevel gears 143, a connecting shaft 145 that is respectively fixedly connected to the two second bevel gears 144 and sequentially penetrates the installation box 141 and the box body 1 and is rotatably connected to the box body 1, and a first servo motor 146 that is fixedly arranged on one side of the installation box 141 and connected to the control system output for driving the driving shaft 142 to rotate, and one end of the two connecting shafts 145 away from the corresponding second bevel gears 144 is fixedly connected to the two opening and closing baffles 13 away from each other. When the food is dried and disinfected, the control system will send a signal to the first servo motor 146 to start the first servo motor 146 to drive the driving shaft 142 to rotate a certain number of times. 2 is provided with symmetrical first bevel gears 143. When the driving shaft 142 rotates, the two first bevel gears 143 will also rotate synchronously for a certain number of circles. At the same time, the two second bevel gears 144 meshing therewith will follow the corresponding first bevel gears 143 to rotate and rotate toward each other by a certain angle in the direction close to the two first bevel gears 143. Since the two second bevel gears 144 are fixedly connected to the sides of the two opening and closing baffles 13 that are away from each other through the corresponding connecting shafts 145, when the two second bevel gears 144 rotate toward each other in the direction close to the two first bevel gears 143, the two opening and closing baffles 13 can be turned downward by a certain angle toward the side close to them, so that the synchronous opening of the two opening and closing baffles 13 can be achieved. When the sterilized and dried food is fully automatically discharged onto the tray 3, the control system will send a corresponding signal to start the first servo motor 146 again to drive the two opening and closing baffles 13 to close, so that the quantitative discharge mechanism 4 can be used next time to quantitatively transport the food in the transparent barrel 2 to the space above the two trays 3 for sterilization and drying.

[0037] Among them, in order to improve the accuracy of the use of the opening and closing baffles 13, the driving mechanism 14 also includes a limit plate 147 which is symmetrically fixed in the box body 1 and located below the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 15 and the dryer 16. The bottoms of the two limit plates 147 are respectively in contact with one side of the top of the two opening and closing baffles 13; the setting of the limit plate 147 can ensure that the opening and closing baffles 13 always remain in the correct position during the closing process, which helps to prevent the opening and closing baffles 13 from deviating from the track when rotating, thereby ensuring its smooth movement.

[0038] Furthermore, the quantitative unloading mechanism 4 includes a fixed box 41 fixedly arranged in the transparent barrel 2, a threaded auger 42 which longitudinally penetrates the transparent barrel 2 and the box body 1 in sequence and is rotatably connected to the fixed box 41, and a second servo motor 43 which is fixedly installed in the fixed box 41 and connected to the output end of the control system for driving the threaded auger 42 to rotate, and the bottom of the threaded auger 42 does not contact the opening and closing baffle 13; before starting to unload, check whether the material in the transparent barrel 2 is sufficient to ensure that there is enough material for the unloading operation. When the preset feeding time is reached, the control system will send a corresponding signal to the second servo motor 43, start the second servo motor 43 to drive the threaded auger 42 to rotate a certain number of times, and as the threaded auger 42 rotates, the food in the transparent barrel 2 can be automatically and quantitatively transported downward to the box body 1.

[0039] Furthermore, the control system includes a timing module for timing control and a network module for mobile phone remote control, the timing module includes a timer 5 fixedly installed at a position above the side of the box 1 corresponding to the discharge port 11; when timed feeding is required, the timer 5 located at a position above the side of the box 1 corresponding to the discharge port 11 can be found, and then the feeding time and feeding amount can be set according to the pet's dietary needs and habits, and the settings can be saved. After that, the timer 5 will automatically feed according to the set time. Through the set network module, the user can monitor and control the feeder through the mobile phone application even if he is not at home, check the status of the feeder, set a feeding plan, modify the feeding amount, etc.

[0040] In addition, in order to facilitate the discharge of food, a slide 12 inclined toward the discharge port 11 is fixedly installed at a position below the opening and closing baffle 13 in the box body 1; the inclined slide 12 can ensure that after the food passes through the opening and closing baffle 13, it can smoothly slide along the slide 12 to the discharge port 11, and finally fall on the tray 3 for the pet to eat.

[0041] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the use of the transparent barrel 2, a sealing cover 21 is buckled on the transparent barrel 2; the design of the sealing cover 21 allows the user to open the transparent barrel 2 at will to add food.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
