Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pet supplies technology, and in particular to a pet fresh food feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] As pets play an increasingly important role in people's lives, owners are also beginning to pay more attention to their pets' diet and health in order to extend their lifespan.

[0003] Common pet food is dry food. Because dry food has a low moisture content and contains a large amount of preservatives, it is easy to store and does not easily spoil. However, excessive consumption of dry food can lead to pets drinking too much water, which can put a huge burden on their kidneys. In addition, the nutritional composition of dry food is limited and not conducive to the growth of pets.

[0004] Therefore, more and more pet owners are starting to feed their pets fresh food. Compared to dry food, fresh food has a higher water content and is made with fresh ingredients without any preservative processes, so that pets can get a balanced intake of nutrients.

[0005] Because fresh food lacks preservative processing during production, it is easily exposed to the environment, making it prone to spoilage, emitting odors, and breeding bacteria. Therefore, when feeding fresh food, owners need to clean their pets' bowls promptly after each feeding.

[0006] Given the fast pace of modern life, people are mostly busy with work during the day and can only return home at night to do cleaning work, making it difficult to meet the requirements for feeding fresh grains.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pet food feeding device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pet fresh food feeding device that can promptly collect and seal the conveyor belt containing fresh food residue, preventing the spread of odors and bacterial contamination of the entire conveyor belt, thus protecting the pet's dietary health.

[0022] As a preferred technical solution for the aforementioned pet food feeding device, the peripheral surfaces of the first drive shaft and / or the second drive shaft are provided with an anti-slip layer.

[0023] Beneficial effects of this invention:

[0024] The pet food feeding device provided by this invention includes a housing, a conveyor belt, and a cutting device. The housing includes a base and a top cover, the top cover being rotatably connected to the base, with the axis of rotation parallel to the horizontal direction. The base includes a feeding area and a recycling area. The top cover has a clearance hole corresponding to the feeding area, and the recycling area has a receiving space. The conveyor belt is used to receive and transport fresh food. One end of the conveyor belt is wound around a spool, and the other end passes sequentially through the feeding area and the recycling area, with the other end extending into the receiving space. The cutting device is located at the entrance of the receiving space and includes a blocking part and an execution part. The blocking part can move towards the side where the conveyor belt is located, and when the execution part cuts the conveyor belt, the blocking part closes the opening of the receiving space.

[0025] When feeding pets fresh food, the fresh food is placed on a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt carries the fresh food to the feeding area first. The pet eats through the clearance hole. At this time, the shielding part of the cutting device closes the opening of the receiving space in the recycling area. After the pet finishes eating, the shielding part moves with the execution part to the side away from the conveyor belt. At this time, the opening of the receiving space opens, and the conveyor belt carries the residue of the fresh food into the receiving space. After the conveyor belt has traveled a certain length, it stops transporting. The shielding part moves with the execution part to the side where the conveyor belt is located. The execution part cuts the conveyor belt. At this time, the shielding part closes the opening of the receiving space again.

[0026] This setup allows the recycling area to promptly collect conveyor belts containing fresh food scraps and seal them for preservation, preventing the spread of odors. Furthermore, the cutting device severs the conveyor belt, placing the used belt within the storage space. This also prevents bacteria from the fresh food scraps from spreading along the conveyor belt and contaminating the entire belt, which would be detrimental to the pet's dietary health.

[0034] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

[0038] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the pet fresh food feeding device provided by the present invention includes a housing, a conveyor belt 30, and a cutting device. The housing includes a base 10 and a top cover 20, the top cover 20 being rotatably connected to the base 10, with the axis of rotation parallel to the horizontal direction. The base 10 includes a feeding area and a recycling area. The top cover 20 has a clearance hole 21 corresponding to the feeding area, and the recycling area has a receiving space 11. The conveyor belt 30 is used to receive and transport fresh food. One end of the conveyor belt 30 is wound around a reel 31, and the other end passes sequentially through the feeding area and the recycling area, with the other end extending into the receiving space 11. The cutting device is located at the entrance of the receiving space 11 and includes a blocking part and an execution part 22. The blocking part can move with the execution part 22 towards the side where the conveyor belt 30 is located. When the execution part 22 cuts the conveyor belt 30, the blocking part closes the opening of the receiving space 11.

[0039] When feeding pets fresh food, the fresh food is placed on the conveyor belt 30. The conveyor belt 30 carries the fresh food to the dining area first. The pet eats through the avoidance hole 21. At this time, the shielding part of the cutting device closes the opening of the receiving space 11 in the recycling area. After eating, the shielding part moves with the execution part 22 to the side away from the conveyor belt. At this time, the opening of the receiving space 11 opens, and the conveyor belt carries the residue of the fresh food into the receiving space 11. After the conveyor belt 30 has traveled a certain length, the conveyor belt stops transporting. The shielding part moves with the execution part 22 to the side where the conveyor belt is located. The execution part 22 cuts the conveyor belt. At this time, the shielding part closes the opening of the receiving space 11 again.

[0040] With this setup, the recycling area can promptly collect the conveyor belt 30 containing fresh food residue and seal it for preservation, preventing the spread of odors. Furthermore, by cutting the conveyor belt with a cutting device, the used conveyor belt 30 is placed in the holding space 11, which also prevents bacteria generated from the spoilage of fresh food residue from spreading along the conveyor belt 30, thus preventing the entire conveyor belt from becoming contaminated and harming the pet's dietary health.

[0041] Specifically, the actuator 22 can be a cutting tool.

[0042] In other embodiments, the actuator 22 may also be a metal with a high melting point. By heating or energizing, the temperature of the metal is raised, and when the metal touches the conveyor belt 30, the high temperature of the metal surface can melt the conveyor belt 30.

[0043] Optionally, the dining area is equipped with a support base 12, which is fixed to the base 10. The upper surface of the support base 12 is slidably connected to the lower surface of the conveyor belt 30. With this configuration, when the pet licks the fresh food on the conveyor belt 30, the support base 12 provides support, reducing the shaking of the conveyor belt 30, making it easier for the pet to eat, and also preventing the fresh food from being thrown out of the conveyor belt 30 during shaking.

[0044] Optionally, the top cover 20 is provided with a blocking part 23, which extends along the periphery of the clearance hole 21 toward the side where the conveyor belt 30 is located, and can abut against the upper end surface of the support base 12. The conveyor belt 30 is sandwiched between the blocking part 23 and the support base 12. With this configuration, when the pet is eating, the top cover 20 is fastened to the housing, the clearance hole 21 exposes the eating area to the outside, and the blocking part 23 abuts against the conveyor belt 30 and the support base 12, confining the fresh food to the eating area, so as to prevent the fresh food from spreading on the conveyor belt 30 and contaminating other areas when the pet licks the fresh food on the conveyor belt 30.

[0045] Optionally, the upper end of the support base 12 has a spherical recess in the area corresponding to the clearance hole 21. This design concentrates the fresh grain in the dining area, especially the juice in the grain.

[0046] Optionally, the cutting device is mounted on the upper cover 20, and the actuator 22 can abut against the open end face of the accommodating space 11. With this configuration, after the fresh grain is placed on the conveyor belt 30, the upper cover 20 is fastened, confining the fresh grain in the blocking part 23. After the feeding is completed, the driver continues to move the conveyor belt 30 towards the accommodating space 11, and the upper cover 20 opens, sending the fresh grain residue and part of the conveyor belt 30 adhering to it into the accommodating space 11. Then, the upper cover 20 and the housing are fastened together. At this time, the actuator 22 of the cutting device moves towards the housing side with the upper cover 20, cutting the conveyor belt 30 during the falling process. Specifically, the cover plate has a protruding abutment part 24 at the end face corresponding to the opening of the accommodating space 11. When the upper cover 20 is fastened to the housing, the abutment part 24 abuts against the end face of the opening in the circumferential direction, thus sealing the accommodating space 11.

[0047] In other embodiments, the shielding part is slidably connected to the housing. Further, the shielding part includes a support rod and a sealing membrane. The support rod extends along the width direction of the conveyor belt 30 and is slidably connected to the housing. One end of the sealing membrane is fixed to the support rod, and the other end is fixed to the end of the housing away from the conveyor belt 30. The unfolded area of ​​the sealing membrane is not less than the area of ​​the opening of the accommodating space 11. An actuator 22 is fixed to the end of the support rod near the conveyor belt. When it is necessary to open the accommodating space 11, the support rod moves with the actuator 22 to the side away from the conveyor belt 30, at which time the sealing membrane can fold accordingly. When it is necessary to close the accommodating space 11, the support rod moves with the actuator 22 to the side where the conveyor belt 30 is located, and the sealing membrane unfolds accordingly, ultimately completely covering the opening of the accommodating space 11, forming a seal.

[0048] Optionally, a cutting groove 13 is provided on the open end face of the accommodating space 11, and the execution part 22 of the cutting device can abut against the bottom surface of the cutting groove 13. With this configuration, when cutting the conveyor belt 30, the execution part 22 of the cutting device can abut against the conveyor belt 30 and enter the cutting groove 13. As it extends, the pressure between the conveyor belt 30 and the execution part 22 gradually increases until the conveyor belt 30 is cut, thereby increasing the contact area between the conveyor belt 30 and the execution part 22 and facilitating cutting.

[0049] Optionally, the pet food feeding device also includes a feeding assembly, which includes a drive motor and a first drive shaft 32. The axis of the first drive shaft 32 is parallel to the horizontal direction. The drive motor drives the first drive shaft 32 to rotate. The peripheral sidewall of the first drive shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the lower end face of the conveyor belt 30. The first drive shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the two side walls of the housing along the width direction of the conveyor belt 30. With this configuration, the first drive shaft 32 is driven by the drive component, and because the first drive shaft 32 drives the conveyor belt 30 to move towards the collection device side, and the first drive shaft 32 is located below the conveyor belt 30, it is used to support the conveyor belt 30 at the bottom.

[0050] Optionally, the feed assembly also includes a second drive shaft 33, the axis of which is parallel to the axis of the first drive shaft 32, and the second drive shaft 33 is rotatably connected to the conveyor belt 30. This configuration increases the number of drive shafts, thereby increasing the contact area between the drive assembly and the drive shafts, and thus increasing friction.

[0051] Preferably, the peripheral sidewall of the first drive shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the peripheral sidewall of the second drive shaft 33, and the conveyor belt 30 is sandwiched between the first drive shaft 32 and the second drive shaft 33. Thus, the arrangement of the second drive shaft 33 makes the contact between the first drive shaft 32 and the conveyor belt 30 closer, increasing friction. The second drive shaft 33 can be driven by a drive component and can rotate actively in the opposite direction to the first drive shaft 32, with the same linear velocity.

[0052] In other embodiments, the second drive shaft 33 is rotatably connected only to the housing, and drives the conveyor belt 30 through the first drive shaft 32, which in turn drives the second drive shaft 33 to rotate.

[0053] In other embodiments, the first drive shaft 32 and the second drive shaft 33 are spaced apart along the length of the conveyor belt 30. In this case, the second drive shaft 33 is preferably driven by a drive member and can rotate actively. The rotation direction is opposite to that of the first drive shaft 32, and the linear velocity is the same.

[0054] In other embodiments, both the first drive shaft 32 and the second drive shaft 33 are located below the conveyor belt 30 and are used to support and drive the conveyor belt 30. In this case, preferably, the second drive shaft 33 is also connected to a drive component so that it can rotate actively, and the rotation direction is the same as the rotation direction of the first drive shaft 32, and the linear velocity is the same.

[0055] Optionally, the second drive shaft 33 is rotatably connected to the upper end face of the conveyor belt 30. The second drive shaft 33 includes a first rotating part and a second rotating part. The first rotating part and the second rotating part are spaced apart along the width direction of the conveyor belt 30 and are rotatably connected to the housing respectively.

[0056] With this configuration, the first rotating part and the second rotating part are slidably connected to both sides of the conveyor belt 30 in the width direction, which can avoid the area with fresh grain residue in the middle of the conveyor belt 30, so as to prevent the fresh grain residue from sticking to the second drive shaft 33.

[0057] Optionally, the peripheral surfaces of the first drive shaft 32 and / or the second drive shaft 33 are provided with an anti-slip layer. This arrangement makes the contact surfaces between the first drive shaft 32 and / or the second conveyor belt 30 and the conveyor belt 30 rougher, resulting in increased friction between the drive shaft and the conveyor belt 30, preventing belt and pulley slippage, and thus preventing the transmission efficiency of the conveyor belt 30 from being affected.

[0058] Furthermore, the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention, the scope of which is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
