[0069] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0070] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, this embodiment provides a snack combination feeding device, which includes a mounting base 1, a feeding rotary pusher 2, and multiple discharging modules 3. The mounting base 1 is provided with a receiving cavity 11 and multiple mounting cavities 12, each mounting cavity 12 communicating with the receiving cavity 11. The multiple discharging modules 3 are detachably connected to the multiple mounting cavities 12, and each discharging module 3 is provided with a discharging port 30 communicating with the receiving cavity 11. The feeding rotary pusher 2 is rotatably mounted on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 11, and the feeding rotary pusher 2 is provided with a receiving groove 20. Rotating the feeding rotary pusher 2 connects the receiving trough 20 with the discharge port 30 of one of the discharging modules 3, causing the snacks 100 in the discharging module 3 to fall into the receiving trough 20. Rotating the feeding rotary pusher 2 again pushes the snacks 100 in the receiving trough 20 to the discharge port 110 on the bottom wall of the receiving chamber 11. Since the receiving trough 20 can only align with the discharge port 30 of one of the discharging modules 3 at a time, the feeding rotary pusher 2 can be rotated according to the feeding ratio of the snacks 100 to control the number of times the receiving trough 20 aligns with each discharge port 30, thereby improving the pet's absorption of the nutrients from the snacks 100.

[0071] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting base 1 has two mounting cavities 12, which are spaced apart on both sides of the receiving cavity 11. In other embodiments, the number of mounting cavities 12 can be set as needed.

[0072] Additionally, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The receiving cavity 11 is circular, and the feeding rotary pusher 2 is also circular. The receiving groove 20 on the feeding rotary pusher 2 is semi-arc-shaped, and correspondingly, an arc-shaped groove is provided on the side wall of the receiving cavity 11. When the feeding rotary pusher 2 rotates until the receiving groove 20 is aligned with the feeding port 110, the shape of the receiving groove 20 and the arc-shaped groove after splicing is the same as that of the feeding port 110, so that the snack 100 in the receiving groove 20 can be quickly fed out. In other embodiments, the shape of the feeding rotary pusher 2 can be set as needed, and is not specifically limited here. In addition, multiple reinforcing plates are provided on the feeding rotary pusher 2 to enhance its connection strength and extend its service life.

[0073] Optionally, refer to Figure 3 As shown, each mounting cavity 12 and receiving cavity 11 is provided with a discharge channel 17. The height of the discharge channel 17 near the mounting cavity 12 is higher than the height of the discharge channel 17 near the receiving cavity 11. With the above arrangement, under the action of its own gravity, the snack 100 can smoothly fall from the discharge port 30 into the receiving trough 20, avoiding the phenomenon of the snack 100 being blocked.

[0074] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 The discharging module 3 includes a fixing component 31, a snack bin 32, and a rotating component 33. The fixing component 31 includes a first fixing seat 311 and a second fixing seat 312. The first fixing seat 311 is fixed within the mounting cavity 12, and the second fixing seat 312 is detachably connected to the first fixing seat 311. A connecting portion 3120 is provided at the end of the second fixing seat 312 away from the first fixing seat 311, and the snack bin 32 is detachably connected to the connecting portion 3120. A first groove 3111 is formed on the first fixing seat 311, and a second groove 3121 is formed on the second fixing seat 312. The first groove 3111 and the second groove 3121 surround a discharging port 30 (not shown in the figure). The discharging port 30 communicates with the receiving cavity 11. Snacks 100 in the snack bin 32 can fall into the receiving groove 20 on the discharging rotating push plate 2 through the discharging port 30. Figure 5 As shown, the rotating assembly 33 includes a fixed plate 331 and a rotating component 332. The fixed plate 331 is fixed to the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 12, and the rotating component 332 is rotatably mounted on the fixed plate 331, passing through the first fixed seat 311 and the second fixed seat 312. Rotating the rotating component 332 can stir the snacks 100 in the snack container 32, and push the snacks 100 from the discharge port 30 into the receiving trough 20, ensuring the smooth discharge of the snacks 100; at the same time, it can prevent the snacks 100 from getting stuck.

[0075] Specifically, in this embodiment, we continue to refer to... Figure 4The first fixing seat 311 is provided with multiple connecting posts, each of which has a connecting hole extending vertically; the second fixing seat 312 has multiple connecting rods protruding from one end facing the first fixing seat 311, and the multiple connecting rods are inserted into the multiple connecting holes one by one to realize the connection between the second fixing seat 312 and the first fixing seat 311.

[0076] In addition, the connecting part 3120 of the second fixed seat 312 opposite to the first fixed seat 311 is provided with an internal thread, and the snack bucket 32 ​​is provided with an external thread at the end near the second fixed seat 312. The snack bucket 32 ​​and the second fixed seat 312 are detachably connected by the threaded connection, which is simple in structure and convenient in operation.

[0077] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first fixed base 311 is provided with a first clearance channel 3115 that runs vertically through it, and the second fixed base 312 is provided with a second clearance channel that runs vertically through it. The rotating component 332 passes through the first clearance channel 3115 and the second clearance channel in sequence to rotate and stir the snack 100 in the snack bucket 32, and push the snack 100 in the snack bucket 32 ​​into the receiving trough 20 to ensure the smooth discharge of the snack 100.

[0078] For example, in this embodiment, the rotating component 33 is provided with two rotating paddles, both of which rotate around the center of the rotating component 33; in other embodiments, the number of rotating paddles of the rotating component 33 can be set as needed, and is not specifically limited here.

[0079] Optionally, the discharge module 3 also includes a drive mechanism 34. The drive mechanism 34 is mounted on the mounting base 1, and the output end of the drive mechanism 34 is connected to the rotating component 332 to drive the rotation of the rotating component 332.

[0080] Specifically, in this embodiment, the output end of the drive mechanism 34 of the discharge module 3 is eccentrically positioned. Furthermore, the discharge rotary pusher 2 is also equipped with a corresponding drive mechanism 34. Exemplarily, the drive mechanism 34 is a motor commonly used in the art.

[0081] Additionally, refer to Figure 6 The mounting base 1 has multiple first fastening holes on its bottom side; refer to Figure 7 The drive mechanism 34 is provided with a plurality of second fastening holes, and fasteners are sequentially inserted into the first fastening holes and the second fastening holes to fix the drive mechanism 34 onto the mounting base 1. For example, the first fastening hole is a threaded hole, and the fastener is a bolt or screw, etc.

[0082] Furthermore, a connecting component 35 is provided between the output end of the drive mechanism 34 and the rotating component 33. For example... Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the connecting assembly 35 includes a first rotating plate 351, a second rotating plate 352, a first elastic element 353, and a mounting cover 354. (Combined) Figure 6 A through hole 120 is provided on the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 12. A first rotating plate 351 is connected to the output end of the drive mechanism 34 and is rotatably mounted at the through hole 120. A second rotating plate 352 is spaced apart from the first rotating plate 351. A rotating assembly 33 is connected to the end of the second rotating plate 352 facing away from the first rotating plate 351. A first elastic member 353 is connected between the first rotating plate 351 and the second rotating plate 352. The end of the second rotating plate 352 away from the first elastic member 353 is connected to the rotating assembly 33. A mounting cover 354 is fitted onto the second rotating plate 352. When the snack container 32 is replaced, when the snack container 32 is aligned, the rotating assembly 33 will be subjected to a downward force, which will cause the second rotating plate 352 to move down, squeezing the first elastic member 353, providing tactile feedback to the operator, and improving the efficiency of snack 100 replacement.

[0083] Specifically, continue to refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, the first rotating plate 351 has a connecting through hole, and the output end of the driving mechanism 34 extends into the connecting through hole; the second rotating plate 352 has a plurality of first locking protrusions 3521, which are distributed circumferentially; correspondingly, combined with Figure 5 The bottom side of the rotating component 332 is provided with a plurality of first engaging grooves 3321, and a plurality of first engaging protrusions 3521 are correspondingly engaged in the plurality of first engaging grooves 3321. The second rotating plate 352 is provided with a plurality of second engaging grooves 3522 spaced apart along the circumference, and the second engaging grooves 3522 extend vertically; correspondingly, the mounting cover 354 is provided with a plurality of second engaging protrusions 3541 along the circumference, and the plurality of second engaging protrusions 3541 are correspondingly engaged in the second engaging grooves 3522, so as to improve the overall stability of the connecting component 35.

[0084] For example, the first elastic element 353 is a spring commonly used in the art; in other embodiments, the first elastic element 353 may also be elastic rubber.

[0085] Furthermore, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 10 The discharge module 3 also includes a stop assembly 36, which includes a fixing member 361 (not shown in the figure), a stop member 362, and a second elastic member 363. The first fixing seat 311 is provided with a guide groove 3113; combined with... Figure 11The fixing member 361 is fixed to the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 12 and extends into the guide groove 3113; the stop member 362 includes a sliding part 3621 and a stop part 3622. One end of the sliding part 3621 extends slidably into the guide groove 3113 and abuts against the fixing member 361, and the other end is provided with a second elastic member 363 between the second fixing seats 312; the stop part 3622 is connected to the sliding part 3621. Figure 5 The guide groove 3113 has a circumferential protrusion 3114 on the side wall near the mounting base 1. When the snack bucket 32 ​​needs to be replaced, the first fixing seat 311 and the second fixing seat 312 are pulled upward. When the first fixing seat 311 moves upward until the protrusion 3114 abuts against the sliding part 3621, it will drive the stop 362 to move upward together, so that the sliding part 3621 separates from the fixing part 361 on the fixing base. At this time, the sliding part 3621 will move downward under the elastic force of the second elastic member 363 and abut against the fixing part 361 again, so that the stop 3622 stops at the discharge port 30, preventing the snacks 100 in the snack bucket 32 ​​from flowing out.

[0086] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 Multiple vertically extending strip columns are provided on the side wall of the guide groove 3113. The outer peripheral wall of the sliding part 3621 can slide against the multiple strip columns to reduce the contact area between the sliding part 3621 and the guide groove 3113, so as to ensure the smooth movement of the sliding part 3621.

[0087] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 The fastener 361, which is mounted on the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 12, is cross-shaped; correspondingly, refer to Figure 10 The sliding part 3621 is provided with an abutting part that is adapted to the fixing member 361; in other embodiments, the fixing member 361 may also be in other structural forms.

[0088] For example, the second elastic element 363 is a spring commonly used in the art; in other embodiments, the second elastic element 363 may also be elastic rubber.

[0089] Optionally, the mounting base 1 is provided with multiple snap-fit ​​components 13, and each mounting cavity 12 is provided with one snap-fit ​​component 13, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the snap-fit ​​assembly 13 includes an operating member 131 and a snap-fit ​​member 132. The operating member 131 is slidably disposed on the mounting base 1, which has a clearance hole 14. One end of the operating member 131 extends out of the clearance hole 14, and the other end is connected to the snap-fit ​​member 132. Figure 4 The first fixed seat 311 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 3112. The snap-fit ​​part 132 can extend into the mounting cavity 12 and engage with the snap-fit ​​part 3112 to fix the first fixed seat 311 in the mounting cavity 12 and enhance the stability of the discharge module 3.

[0090] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 Multiple snap-fit ​​connectors 132 are provided, and the multiple snap-fit ​​connectors 132 are spaced apart on both sides of the mounting cavity 12. Each snap-fit ​​connector 132 is connected to the operating member 131. Figure 3 The mounting base 1 is provided with multiple first guide grooves 15, each of which is connected to the mounting cavity 12. Multiple snap-fit ​​pieces 132 are slidably disposed within the multiple first guide grooves 15. Correspondingly, the first fixing seat 311 is provided with multiple snap-fit ​​parts 3112. Pulling the operating member 131 can simultaneously drive the multiple snap-fit ​​pieces 132 to snap into the multiple snap-fit ​​parts 3112. The above configuration can improve the stability of the first fixing seat 311; moreover, the operation is simple and convenient, which can improve the installation efficiency.

[0091] Specifically, in this embodiment, each discharge module 3 is provided with two corresponding snap-fit ​​components 132. For example... Figure 3 As shown, a third elastic member 151 is provided in the first guide groove 15. The two ends of the third elastic member 151 abut against the snap-fit ​​member 132 and the side wall of the first guide groove 15, respectively. Figure 11 The snap-fit ​​member 132 is provided with a first guide portion 1322, and a third elastic member 151 is sleeved on the first guide portion 1322 to provide guidance for the elastic deformation of the third elastic member 151. Under the elastic force of the third elastic member 151, the stability of the snap-fit ​​member 132 engaging with the snap-fit ​​portion 3112 can be improved; in other embodiments, the number of snap-fit ​​members 132 can be set as needed.

[0092] For example, the third elastic element 151 is a spring commonly used in the art, and the first guide portion 1322 is cross-shaped; in other embodiments, the third elastic element 151 may also be elastic rubber, and the first guide portion 1322 may also be other structural forms.

[0093] Optionally, refer to Figure 12 The snap-fit ​​component 132 has a protruding slide rod 1321; see reference. Figure 13 The first connecting seat is provided with a guide hole 1311, and the slide rod 1321 is slidably disposed in the guide hole 1311; pulling the operating part 131 can simultaneously drive multiple snap-fit ​​parts 132 to move, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0094] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 13 As shown, the guide hole 1311 is triangular. (Refer to...) Figure 1When the snack container 32 needs to be replaced, the operating member 131 is moved in the direction toward the inside of the mounting base 1, and the slide rod 1321 moves along the side wall of the guide hole 1311, which will drive the snap-fit ​​member 132 to move away from the first fixed base 311, so that the snap-fit ​​member 132 disengages from the snap-fit ​​part 3112 of the first fixed base 311.

[0095] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 13 The operating component 131 is provided with multiple second guide grooves 1312; combined with Figure 3 The mounting base 1 has multiple protruding limiting posts 16, which extend one-to-one into multiple second guide grooves 1312.

[0100] This embodiment also provides a method for feeding a combination of 100 snacks, applied to the above-mentioned snack combination feeding device, including the following steps:

[0101] S1: Rotate the feeding rotary push plate 2 so that the receiving groove 20 is aligned with a discharge port 30, and the snack 100 in the discharge module 3 falls into the receiving groove 20;

[0102] Specifically, in this embodiment, the above steps involve rotating the feeding rotary pusher 2 so that the receiving groove 20 is aligned with the discharge port 30 of one of the discharge modules 3. The rotating component 332 rotates under the drive of the drive mechanism 34, pushing the snacks 100 in the snack bucket 32 ​​out of the discharge port 30 and into the receiving groove 20 through the discharge channel 17.

[0103] S2: Rotate the feeding rotary pusher 2 to push the snack 100 in the receiving trough 20 to the feeding port 110;

[0104] In this specific embodiment, the above steps involve rotating the feeding pusher 2 until the receiving groove 20 aligns with the arc-shaped groove on the side wall of the receiving cavity 11, so that the snacks 100 in the receiving groove 20 are fed into the pet bowl through the feeding port 110.

[0105] Repeat steps S1 and S2, wherein the number of times the receiving groove 20 on the feeding rotary pusher 2 is aligned and connected with the discharge port 30 of different discharge modules 3 is controlled according to the feeding ratio of snack 100.

[0106] In this specific embodiment, the above steps involve rotating the feeding rotary pusher 2 and controlling the alignment frequency of the receiving trough 20 and the discharge port 30 on the feeding rotary pusher 2 according to the feeding ratio of the snack 100, so as to improve the pet's absorption of nutrients from the snack 100.
