[0025] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer and more understandable, the following further elaborates on the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0026] In order to illustrate the technical solutions described in the present invention, the following will be described through specific embodiments.

[0027] Figure 1 The structure of the drive device for intelligent pet machine feeding and discharging provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. For the sake of convenience of description, only the parts related to the embodiment of the present invention are shown.

[0028] As Figures 1-4As shown, the driving device for feeding the intelligent pet machine provided in this embodiment includes a feeding channel 1 and a driving motor 2 with a driving block 14 fixed on the output shaft. The side wall of the feeding channel 1 is provided with a feeding port 3 and is connected to a feeding rack 4. A stirring member 5 is provided on the outside of the feeding rack 4, and a feeding slider 6 is provided at the bottom of the feeding rack 4. The driving motor 2 drives the stirring member 5 to pitch and rotate and the feeding slider 6 to move forward and backward through a rocker assembly. A feeding pipe 7 is connected to the bottom of the feeding channel 1, and a pushing elastic member 8 is provided in the feeding pipe 7. The driving motor 2 drives the pushing elastic member 8 to slide in the feeding pipe 7.

[0029] When the device is working, the driving motor rotates counterclockwise to drive the driving block on the output shaft to rotate, and the driving block drives the stirring member to pitch and rotate and the feeding slider to move forward and backward through the rocker assembly. During the pitching movement of the stirring rod, the pet food accumulated in the material rack can be stirred and dropped in front of the feeding slider. When the feeding slider slides forward, the pet food can be pushed into the feeding channel through the feeding port to complete the feeding work.

[0030] While feeding, the drive block continues to rotate, and the drive block pushes the push elastic piece to compress and move backward in the feeding tube. When the drive block is separated from the push elastic piece, the push elastic piece will pop out the pet food that falls from the feeding channel, completing the feeding work. During one rotation of the drive block of the drive motor, it can push the swing arm assembly and the push elastic piece respectively, so that the feeding work and the feeding work can be carried out simultaneously without interfering with each other.

[0031] like Figures 5-7 As shown, a gate-shaped ring 9 is provided at the rear end of the feed slider 6, and the bottom of the agitator 5 passes through the gate-shaped ring 9. A connecting block is provided at the bottom of the feed slider 6, and a threaded hole is provided in the connecting block. A thread is provided on the top of the feed drive column 10, and the top 10 of the feed drive column is turned into the threaded hole. A feed spring 11 is installed between the feed drive column 10 and the side wall of the feed channel 1. The rocker assembly includes a first rocker 12 and a second rocker 13. The head end of the first rocker 12 abuts against the back of the feed drive column 10, the end of the first rocker 12 abuts against the head end of the second rocker 13, and the end of the second rocker 13 is located near the drive block 14.

[0032] Among them, the stirring member can be an integrated structure or a combined structure composed of several parts. In this embodiment, the stirring member 5 is an integrated structure composed of a stirring rod 51, a stirring drive rod 52 and a stirring connecting block 53, and the bottom of the stirring drive rod 52 passes through the gate ring 9.

[0033] When the driving block pushes the end of the second swing rod, the head end of the second swing rod drives the end of the first swing rod to move backward. The head end of the first swing rod drives the feeding drive column to move forward. At the same time, the feeding spring is compressed. The feeding drive column drives the feeding slider to slide forward. The portal ring drives the bottom of the stirring drive rod to move forward, causing the stirring rod to tilt upward. The driving block continues to rotate until it disengages from the second swing rod. The feeding spring expands. The feeding drive column drives the feeding slider to slide backward. The portal ring drives the bottom of the stirring drive rod to move backward, causing the stirring rod to move downward. During the pitching motion of the stirring rod, the pet food piled up in the material placement rack can be stirred and dropped in front of the feeding slider. When the feeding slider slides forward next time, the pet food can be pushed into the feeding channel through the feeding port.

[0034] As Figure 9 shown, the feeding pipe 7 includes a main pipe 71 and a tail pipe 72 at the end of the main pipe. A pushing chute 73 is formed on the side wall of the tail pipe 72. A convex block 81 is provided on the outer wall of the pushing elastic member 8. The convex block 81 passes through the pushing chute 73 and is located near the driving block 14. During one rotation of the driving block 14 of the driving motor, it contacts the end of the second swing rod 13 and the convex block 81 respectively.

[0035] As Figure 10 shown, a pushing column 82 is provided at the center position of the bottom of the pushing elastic member 8. A fixing ring 75 is provided in the tail pipe. A pushing spring 83 is embedded and installed between the bottom of the pushing elastic member 8 and the fixing ring 75 on the pushing column. The pushing column 82 passes through the fixing ring 75. When the pushing elastic member slides backward, the pushing column passes through the fixing ring. At the same time, the pushing spring is compressed, which can provide an elastic force for the pushing elastic member to slide forward.

[0036] A guiding spring member 74 is further connected between the outer wall of the pushing elastic member 8 and the outer wall of the tail pipe 72. Adding the guiding spring member can increase the elastic force received by the pushing elastic member when it slides forward, improving the stability.

[0037] When the driving block pushes the convex block on the pushing elastic member, the pushing elastic member slides backward in the feeding pipe. At the same time, the guiding spring member and the pushing spring are compressed. When the convex block loses contact with the driving block, the guiding spring member and the pushing spring expand. The pushing elastic member is elastically ejected forward in the feeding pipe due to the elastic force, thereby pushing the pet food coming down from the feeding channel out of the feeding pipe.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 、 2 shown, the driving device for feeding and discharging of the intelligent pet machine further includes an upper mounting frame 15 and a lower mounting frame 16. The driving motor 2 is installed on the lower mounting frame 16. The feeding pipe 7 is located between the upper mounting frame 15 and the lower mounting frame 16. The overall structure is very compact, saving space.

[0039] An inlet mounting base 17 is mounted on the upper mounting frame 15, and the top of the inlet mounting base 17 is connected to the bottom of the material placing frame 4. As Figure 8 shown, a guiding block 18 is provided on the inner wall of the inlet mounting base 17, an inlet chute 19 is provided on the outer wall of the inlet slider 6, the inlet slider 6 is located within the inlet mounting base 17 and the guiding block 18 is inserted into the inlet chute 19. During the pitching motion of the stirring rod, the pet food accumulated in the material placing frame can be stirred and dropped onto the inlet mounting base. When the inlet slider slides forward within the inlet mounting base, the pet food can be pushed into the inlet channel through the inlet opening, thus completing the feeding operation.

[0040] A swing rod cover 20 is provided on the upper mounting frame 15 and above the first swing rod 12. The position of the swing rod cover 20 facing the side wall of the inlet mounting base 17 is an inlet cover 21. The stirring connection block 53 is rotationally connected to the top of the inlet cover 21. The first swing rod 12 and the second swing rod 13 are both rotationally connected to the upper mounting frame 15, making the movement of the swing rod assembly more stable and facilitating disassembly and assembly at the same time.

[0041] In summary, the present invention provides a driving device for feeding and discharging in an intelligent pet machine, including a feeding part, a discharging part and a driving motor. The driving motor drives the stirring part to pitch and rotate and the inlet slider to move back and forth through the swing rod assembly, thereby completing the feeding operation. At the same time of feeding, the driving motor can also drive the pushing elastic member to slide within the discharging pipe to complete the discharging operation, and the feeding and discharging do not interfere with each other, which can effectively utilize the efficiency of the motor, with high efficiency and energy saving. The device has a compact structure, effectively saves the production cost, and is very convenient to operate.

[0042] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
