[0002] The pet feeders on the market generally have the function of feeding according to different body sizes or even the exact amount for a single pet, ensuring that the pet can get the food it needs on time and in the right amount. Therefore, they are usually used in conjunction with automatic food dispensers, without the need for manual intervention, which can greatly reduce the burden on the owner. However, the above feeders all have a common problem: the actual amount of food a pet eats cannot be accurately predicted, and there will often be leftover food in the bowl. If these foods are not processed for a long time, they will become damp and deteriorate, and not only will they be inedible again, they will also pose a potential threat to the health of the pet. Moreover, the food will dry out when it adheres to the bowl, and the owner will need to spend a certain amount of energy to clean it later, which still does not meet the convenience advocated by automated feeding.

[0026] The utility model can separate different pets in the early stage of feeding through the recognition function of the RFID antenna 15, and then intercept other pets in different directions by setting a series of transparent guard plates 17 and side guard plates 16, so as to achieve the effect of separate feeding; after eating, by pushing the food bowl 8 to the right and moving it between the transparent cover plate 14 and the ice bag, and refrigerating and preserving the food bowl 8 through the ice bag placed underneath, the growth and reproduction speed of microorganisms and the degree of oxidation are slowed down to ensure that the food does not deteriorate too quickly, and at the same time, the evaporation of water in the food caused by high temperature is reduced, the moisture and taste of the food are maintained, and thus the health of the pet's eating is ensured; further, the dustproof soft silicone belt 13 and the transparent cover plate 14 are set together to complete the sealing of the entire cold storage area, ensure that the cold air does not radiate outward, maintain the efficient use rate of the cold storage area, and then ensure that the built-in food can be continuously eaten.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6 The pet food dispenser shown includes a main cabinet 1 and an RFID antenna 15. The RFID antenna 15 is installed on the left side of the main cabinet 1, and the outer edge of the RFID antenna 15 is set to a shape consistent with the side of the main body. The RFID antenna 15 plays a major role in the feeding system. The installation of the RFID antenna 15 can be used to mark and identify different pets, and then feed the pets in a certain quantity according to their actual conditions. When the pet wears a collar or tag with an RFID tag, the RFID antenna 15 can send electromagnetic waves to activate these tags and receive electromagnetic wave signals returned by the tags. These signals contain the number and identity information of different pets, so that the feeder can identify and track specific pets; not only that, the RFID antenna 15 can also record the pet's eating conditions, eating time, etc., and transmit the above data to a mobile terminal (i.e., a mobile phone, tablet or display screen), which can help the owner better understand the pet's eating habits.

[0029] This embodiment only describes the feeding part. In short, the user can combine the automatic grain dispenser with the product and connect it to the control module. According to the signal sent by the control module, the grain will automatically fall into the product for the pet to eat. That is, when the RFID antenna 15 detects the pet wearing the RFID collar, it determines whether the pet needs to eat. If the pet needs to eat, it sends a signal to the automatic grain dispenser, and the automatic grain dispenser drops the grain into the grain bowl 8. The pet can stand next to the grain bowl 8 to finish eating, thus achieving the effect of automatic and appropriate feeding.

[0030] In the early stage of feeding, this embodiment can complete the separation of different pets through the recognition function of the RFID antenna 15, that is, the early food sharing. When the designated pet is eating, it is inevitable that other pets will come to grab food, which will cause chaos in the food supply. Therefore, other pets need to be blocked during feeding. Specifically: the food bowl 8 will be placed on the top left side of the main cabinet 1 when it is ready for use. In order to prevent the food bowl 8 from falling when it is moved by the force on the main cabinet 1, an upper guard plate 2 is installed at the top edge of the main cabinet 1 to provide space for the food bowl 8 to move left and right, and to prevent the food bowl 8 from falling due to excessive movement; and a transparent guard plate 17 is connected and installed between the top of the upper guard plate 2 and the right side of the RFID antenna 15 to prevent other pets from grabbing food when standing on the top right side of the main cabinet 1, that is, the transparent guard plate 17 will be located above the food bowl 8.

[0031] Next, this embodiment can block other pets in the front, back, and right positions by installing a transparent guard plate 17, while there is still space for food to be snatched on the left side of the eating area, so a side guard plate 16 is installed on the left side of the lower part of the RFID antenna 15. The side guard plate 16 is triangular and extends upward to the upper part of the RFID antenna 15; when the designated pet stands on the left side of the main cabinet 1 to eat, the head of the pet will block the horizontal eating space, and the side guard plate 16 can also block the vertical front and rear food snatching space, effectively avoiding the occurrence of food snatching. Furthermore, anti-slip pads 20 are set at the four corners of the bottom of the main cabinet 1, which can effectively prevent the main cabinet 1 from moving or tipping over due to pets fighting when the main cabinet 1 is placed on a flat surface, avoiding damage to the product and increasing the cost of use.

[0032] Example 3

[0033] like Figures 1 to 6 The pet food dispenser shown is used to feed a specified pet with a fixed amount of food. However, the specific amount of food consumed by the pet cannot be estimated, and the remaining food needs to be stored separately, otherwise it will deteriorate and get damp; so that when feeding next time, appropriate additions can be made based on the above-mentioned food storage volume to adapt to the feeding of the next pet. Therefore, the right space of the side guard plate 16 is used as a storage space, and while the food is sealed and stored, an ice bag is placed at the bottom to store the food at a low temperature to achieve the effect of keeping it fresh.

[0034] A push-pull slot 3 is provided at the lower part of the main cabinet 1, and an ice bag drawer 4 for placing ice bags is slidably provided in the push-pull slot 3. The push-pull slot 3 is provided on the front side, so that the user can pull the ice bag drawer 4 forward to move out of the main cabinet 1, put the ice bag in, and then push the ice bag drawer 4 back into the main cabinet 1; at the same time, a transparent cover plate 14 is also disassembled and provided on the top of the upper guard plate 2 to cap the refrigeration area of ​​the upper guard plate 2. Next, in order to realize the use and recovery of the grain bowl 8, the grain bowl 8 can be moved left and right. When the grain bowl 8 is on the left, it can be used for the pet to eat. After eating, the grain bowl 8 can be pushed to the right to the right part of the upper guard plate 2, that is, above the ice bag and below the transparent cover plate 14. In this way, the remaining grain in the grain bowl 8 can be kept fresh by the ice bag.

[0035] Ice bags are divided into reusable ice bags and disposable ice bags. This embodiment uses reusable ice bags, which generally have a heat preservation time of 3 to 12 hours, are low in cost and effective; low temperature can slow down the growth and reproduction rate of microorganisms, as well as the degree of oxidation, to ensure that the grain will not deteriorate too quickly, while reducing the evaporation of water in the grain caused by high temperature, maintaining the moisture and taste of the grain. By regularly replacing the ice bags, it is ensured that a low-temperature environment is continuously provided for the grain. In addition, the material of the grain bowl 8 is set to stainless steel, which is easy to clean. The excellent thermal conductivity of stainless steel can also quickly transfer the temperature of the ice bag to the grain bowl 8, playing a highly efficient preservation role.

[0036] It can be seen that the ice bag is of irregular shape. Even if the drawer is completely filled with ice bags, it cannot be guaranteed that the grain bowl 8 can stand stably on the ice bag. Therefore, a cold air channel 5 is extended to the right in the main cabinet 1. The cold air channel 5 extends above the push-pull slot 3, so that the grain bowl 8 can be slidably set in the cold air channel 5 and enter the refrigerated area to the right along the cold air channel 5. The cold air channel 5 can also play a supporting role, so that the grain bowl 8 is located above the ice bag without being affected by it. In view of the fact that the grain bowl 8 needs to be taken out for cleaning and reuse, a mounting pad 6 is slidably set in the cold air channel 5, and a bowl holder 7 with a similar appearance and shape to the grain bowl 8 is installed on the mounting pad 6 for placing the grain bowl 8. In this way, the grain bowl 8 placed on the bowl holder 7 can be indirectly moved left and right through the left and right movement of the bowl holder 7 and the mounting pad 6 on the cold air channel 5, which is suitable for the two modes of feeding and storage.

[0037] Example 4

[0038] On the basis of Example 3, a further fresh-keeping design is provided. In order to prevent the cold air from radiating outward through the cold air duct 5 after the grain bowl 8 is moved to the right refrigerated area, which would shorten the service life of the ice bag and make it unable to effectively preserve fresh food, dust-proof soft silicone belts 13 are symmetrically provided on the cold air duct 5, and the mounting pads 6 slide between the dust-proof soft silicone belts 13. Due to the special material of the dust-proof soft silicone belts 13, the parts that are not squeezed by the mounting pads 6 are in a closed state, thereby achieving the closure of the cold air duct 5 and preventing the cold air from radiating and the hot air from entering. At the same time, hinged fresh-keeping doors 9 are hinged on the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the upper guard plate 2. The right side of the hinged fresh-keeping door 9 is hinged to the upper guard plate 2, and when the grain bowl 8 is located on the top left side of the main cabinet 1 for the pet to eat, the hinged fresh-keeping door 9 is in a folded left state; when the grain bowl 8 needs to be retracted, the grain bowl 8 is pushed to the right to move under the transparent cover 14, that is, above the ice bag for refrigeration. At this time, the hinged safety door is no longer squeezed by the grain bowl 8, and is rotated inward to make it vertical. The two cooperate to complete the closure of the left side of the refrigerated area, and together with the dust-proof soft silicone belt 13 and the transparent cover 14, the entire refrigerated area is sealed to ensure that the cold air does not radiate outward and maintain the efficient utilization rate of the refrigerated area.

[0039] Example 5

[0040] like Figures 1 to 6 The pet food dispenser shown is also provided with a control area, which is mainly divided into a first button 10, a second button 11 and a third button 12, which are arranged on the front side of the main cabinet 1 from left to right. The first button 10 has the largest area, specifically the main power button. Long pressing for 2 seconds can turn the product on and off. It can also be used to connect the automatic grain dispenser. Quickly pressing once means adding grain, and pressing again stops adding grain. The second button 11 is similar in size to the third button 12, and the main function of the second button 11 can be analogous to Bluetooth. It is mainly used to establish a connection with a mobile terminal, which is convenient for users to remotely control and increase the feeding experience. The specific functions are matching and resetting. The user presses the second button 11 for 2 seconds, and the yellow light flashes and then starts to try to connect. If the green light flashes for 3 seconds and then goes out, it means that the connection is successful. Otherwise, the yellow light will keep flashing. When the user needs to reset the system user information, it can be pressed for 5 seconds to indicate that it is being reset, and then the red light flashes for 3 seconds and then goes out, indicating that the reset is successful.

[0041] A row of three lamp beads 19 is provided on the front side of the main cabinet 1. The lamp beads 19 are all located on the right side of the third button 12 and are connected to the third button 12 for use. The specific function of button 3 is mode switching. Pressing it once switches a mode. The lamp beads 19 of the corresponding mode will light up white. The corresponding lamp beads 19 are from top to bottom: infrared switch mode, RFID mode, and normally open mode, which are suitable for use in different scenarios. When the RFID mode is started, the pet wearing an RFID collar can be identified to determine whether it needs to eat and how much food it eats, and then accurate feeding can be performed, which can be used for self-service feeding of designated pets; when the normally open mode is started, there is no need to identify the eating pet, and only simple single pet feeding can be achieved through this product to avoid the phenomenon of pets snatching food; the infrared switch mode is driven by signals from multiple unidirectional infrared rays on the left side of the main cabinet 1.

[0042] The detection direction of the one-way infrared is the left side of the main cabinet 1, that is, the direction in which the pet enters. When the infrared switch mode is activated, the position and movement state of the pet can be detected through infrared sensing technology to avoid unnecessary feeding caused by the pet's accidental touch or passing. It can not only effectively prevent food waste, but also ensure that the pet completes the feeding according to the set time and amount, which helps to cultivate good feeding habits of the pet. The specific number of one-way infrared settings can be determined according to the situation. If the pet is too short, multiple one-way infrareds with complete heights can be set to ensure that the pet can be prepared for detection.

[0043] Example 6

[0044] It should be noted that the upper guard plate 2, push-pull slot 3, transparent cover plate 14, RFID antenna 15, side guard plate 16 and transparent guard plate 17 in this product are all detachable. When the product is packaged for delivery, the entire machine can be decomposed into smaller parts for packaging and transportation, which significantly reduces the amount of packaging materials, loading and unloading time and labor costs, and can also reduce the extra expenses incurred due to excessive size during transportation.

[0045] Furthermore, more appropriate packaging materials and methods may be selected according to the characteristics of each component to provide better protection. For example, the complex circuit contained in the RFID antenna 15 may be packaged with thicker foam or bubble film to prevent the RFID antenna 15 from being damaged due to bumps during transportation.

[0046] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprise a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.

[0047] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Other modifications or equivalent substitutions made to the technical solution of the utility model by ordinary technicians in this field should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
