Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a pet cat stick and dry food feeding device and its working method, particularly to the storage, extrusion and automatic feeding of cat sticks, belonging to the technical field of automatic pet feeding equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the increasing number of cat-owning families and the rising status of cats in households, people are paying more and more attention to the balanced diet and health of their cats. Traditional dry food feeding can no longer meet the needs, and fresh foods such as cat treats are gradually gaining popularity. Cat treats are a type of pasty cat food packaged in roll-film plastic bags, usually in individual small packets. However, manually feeding cat treats requires cat owners to tear open the packaging bag and slowly squeeze out the treats for their cats; after feeding, cat owners also need to dispose of the empty packaging bag and any accidentally spilled treats. This is not only inconvenient but also prone to spillage, causing waste and environmental pollution.

[0003] While existing automatic dry food feeders can dispense dry food at set times and in measured quantities, they are not convenient for feeding cat treats, nor can they automatically adjust the feeding time and amount according to the cat's actual situation. This can lead to situations such as inappropriate feeding times, overfeeding, or underfeeding. Furthermore, many cat owners are busy with work, especially when traveling for business or on vacation, making it difficult to maintain a regular feeding schedule. This can result in irregular eating habits for their cats, increasing the risk of obesity, heart disease, gastrointestinal problems, and other health risks.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop and design a device and method that can automatically feed cat treats and dry food. Summary of the Invention

[0029] Furthermore, the main body of the device is further provided with a detachable cat bar outlet shell;

[0030] The cat treat outlet is located on the outer shell of the cat treat outlet.

[0031] Furthermore, the device of the present invention also includes a wide-angle camera, a speaker, a microphone, a light strip, and a camera, which are electrically connected to the main control board respectively;

[0032] The wide-angle camera is mounted on the top of the outer side of the main body shell and is located directly above the cat strip outlet;

[0035] The light strip is installed on the outer side of the main body shell and is located between the wide-angle camera and the camera.

[0036] Secondly, the present invention also provides a method for operating a pet cat stick and dry food feeding device. The method for feeding cat sticks using the aforementioned pet cat stick and dry food feeding device includes the following steps:

[0037] A1. The main control board controls the rotation of the cat treat storage compartment motor. The storage compartment motor drives the ring wheel cat treat storage compartment to rotate through the motor gear and ring rack until the cat treat in the storage compartment through hole falls out of the drop outlet and the fallen cat treat enters the cat treat clamp downwards.

[0038] A2. The main control board first controls the cat strip clamping motor to rotate forward, which drives the cat strip clamp to clamp the fallen cat strip; then the main control board controls the cat strip rotation motor to work, which drives the cat strip clamp to rotate from a vertical state to a horizontal state. At this time, the front and rear ends of the cat strip are facing the cat strip cutting mechanism and the cat strip pushing mechanism, respectively.

[0039] A3. The main control board first controls the cat strip clamping motor to reverse, which drives the cat strip clamp to release the cat strip; then the main control board controls the cat strip pushing mechanism to work, pushing the cat strip forward into the cat strip cutting mechanism;

[0040] A4. The main control board controls the cat strip cutting mechanism to cut off the front end of the cat strip. At this time, the cut-off seal falls downward into the waste bin. The main control board then controls the cat strip cutting mechanism to reset.

[0041] A5. The main control board first controls the cat strip pushing mechanism to push the cat strip forward to the cat strip outlet; then the main control board controls the cat strip clamping motor to rotate forward, driving the cat strip clamp to squeeze the cat strip, at which point the paste-like food inside the cat strip is squeezed out from the cut.

[0042] A6. The main control board controls the cat strip forward pushing mechanism to reset; the main control board then controls the cat strip rotation motor to work, driving the cat strip clamp to rotate from the horizontal state back to the vertical state; the main control board then controls the cat strip clamping motor to reverse, driving the cat strip clamp to release the cat strip waste bag, at which point the cat strip waste bag falls downward into the waste bin.

[0043] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a method for operating a pet cat stick and dry food feeding device. The method for feeding dry food using the aforementioned pet cat stick and dry food feeding device includes the following steps:

[0044] B1. The main control board controls the motor of the discharge port cover to rotate forward, at which time the dry food discharge port cover opens.

[0045] B2. The main control board controls the rotation of the dry food turntable motor. The dry food turntable motor drives the dry food turntable to rotate until the dry food drop outlet of the dry food turntable is connected to the opening of the dry food storage bin. At this time, the cat food in the dry food storage bin falls into the dry food discharge pipe through the drop outlet and the opening of the bin, and flows out from the dry food outlet.

[0046] B3. The main control board controls the dry food turntable motor to reverse until the dry food turntable's food drop outlet is misaligned with the dry food storage bin's opening. At this point, the cat food in the dry food storage bin will no longer flow out.

[0047] B4. The main control board controls the motor of the discharge port cover to reverse, at which time the dry food discharge port cover closes.

[0048] In summary, the present invention provides an automatic feeding device for cat treats and dry food, solving the inconvenience and spillage problems of manually feeding cat treats by cat owners, achieving a reasonable combination of dry and wet food, and ensuring the cat's nutritional balance.

[0049] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical advantages:

[0051] 2. This invention adopts an integrated layout of cat stick feeding structure and dry food feeding structure, realizing a reasonable combination of dry and wet food.

[0052] 3. This invention not only achieves automated feeding of cat treats and dry food through mechanical structure, but also enables remote feeding by combining with control circuit board. Attached Figure Description

[0072] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0073] In the description of this application, terms such as "connection" or "linked" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0074] Example 1: As Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a pet cat treat and dry food feeding device, including a main body shell 1, a main control board 2 disposed inside the main body shell 1, a dry food feeding mechanism, a cat treat storage mechanism, a cat treat clamping and rotating mechanism located below the cat treat storage mechanism, a cat treat cutting mechanism located in front of the cat treat clamping and rotating mechanism, a cat treat pushing mechanism located behind the cat treat clamping and rotating mechanism, a waste collection mechanism located below the cat treat clamping and rotating mechanism and the cat treat cutting mechanism, and a cat treat outlet 46 and a dry food outlet 35 opened on the outer side of the main body shell 1, which are described in detail below.

[0075] like Figure 3 As shown, the cat treat storage mechanism includes a cat treat storage compartment support plate 418, a cat treat storage compartment motor 414 and a ring-shaped wheel-type cat treat storage compartment 41 mounted on its top surface.

[0076] The cat treat storage support plate 418 is provided with a drop-out opening. For example... Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the annular wheel-type cat treat storage compartment 41 has several storage through holes 412 along the circumferential direction inside, and an annular rack 413 is provided on its outer surface. The cat treat storage compartment motor 414 is electrically connected to the main control board 2, and a motor gear 415 is mounted on its output shaft, and the motor gear 415 and the annular rack 413 cooperate with each other. When the cat treat storage compartment motor 414 drives the annular wheel-type cat treat storage compartment 41 to rotate, the several storage through holes 412 can sequentially connect with the drop outlet.

[0077] In particular, in order to make the overall structure compact and to rationally divide the space, the cat treat storage compartment is designed as a ring-shaped disc. On the one hand, this makes it convenient for the cat treats stored in the storage compartment through hole 412 to be arranged in a ring. On the other hand, it makes it convenient for the dry food storage compartment 31 to be inserted into the hollow part of the ring-shaped disc cat treat storage compartment 41.

[0078] In specific implementation, the working process of the cat treat storage mechanism is as follows: The main control board 2 controls the cat treat storage compartment motor 414 to rotate. The rotation of the storage compartment motor 414 drives the motor gear 415 to rotate. Since the motor gear 415 and the ring rack 413 cooperate with each other, the ring rack 413 rotates with the motor gear 415, thereby driving the ring wheel-type cat treat storage compartment 41, in which the ring rack 413 is located, to rotate. During the rotation of the ring wheel-type cat treat storage compartment 41, each storage compartment through hole 412 is connected to the drop-out port of the cat treat storage compartment support plate 418 one by one. Once a cat treat 9 is placed in the storage compartment through hole 412 connected to the drop-out port, the cat treat 9 will fall out from the drop-out port and then fall into the cat treat clamping and rotating mechanism.

[0079] In other embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the cat treat storage mechanism also includes a cat treat dispenser detection sensor 416 and a cat treat remaining quantity detection sensor 417, which are electrically connected to the main control board 2, respectively.

[0080] The cat treat dispenser detection sensor 416 is installed at the drop-out point of the cat treat storage compartment support plate 418. The cat treat remaining quantity detection sensor 417 is installed on the cat treat storage compartment support plate 418 and located in the hollow part of the annular wheel-type cat treat storage compartment 41.

[0081] In specific implementation, the process of detecting the remaining cat treats is as follows: During the process of the storage motor 414 driving the annular wheel-type cat treat storage bin 41 to rotate a full circle, each storage compartment through hole 412 passes through the cat treat remaining quantity detection sensor 417 one by one. The cat treat remaining quantity detection sensor 417 sequentially identifies whether there are cat treats 9 in each storage compartment through hole 412 and records the total amount of cat treats 9 stored.

[0082] The cat treat dispensing detection process is as follows: When the annular wheel-type cat treat storage bin 41 rotates, once a cat treat 9 is stored in the storage through hole 412 connected to the drop outlet, the cat treat 9 will fall downwards from the drop outlet and pass through the cat treat dispensing detection sensor 416 at the drop outlet. After the cat treat dispensing detection sensor 416 detects the falling cat treat 9, it transmits the detection signal to the main control board 2. The main control board 2 controls the annular wheel-type cat treat storage bin 41 to stop rotating, thereby achieving the effect of dispensing only one cat treat 9 at a time.

[0083] As can be seen from the above, the cat bar storage mechanism is used to store unopened cat bars 9, which not only ensures the freshness and safety of the cat bars 9, but also has the function of automatically reading the quantity of cat bars 9, and can monitor the inventory of cat bars 9 in real time so that users can know and replenish the cat bars 9 at any time.

[0084] like Figure 3As shown, the cat treat clamping and rotating mechanism includes a cat treat clamp 42, a cat treat clamping motor 421 and a cat treat rotating motor 422 mounted on the cat treat clamp 42, and the cat treat clamping motor 421 and the cat treat rotating motor 422 are electrically connected to the main control board 2. The cat treat clamping motor 421 can drive the cat treat clamp 42 to clamp or release the cat treat. The cat treat rotating motor 422 can drive the cat treat clamp 42 to rotate to a horizontal or vertical direction.

[0085] like Figure 13 As shown, when the cat treat holder 42 is in a vertical position, its top opening is directly below the cat treat storage mechanism's drop opening, and its bottom opening is directly above the trash collection mechanism's collection opening. Figure 14 As shown, when the cat strip clamp 42 is in a horizontal state, its top opening is located directly behind the cat strip cutting mechanism, and its bottom opening is located directly in front of the cat strip pushing mechanism.

[0086] In practice, when the cat treat clamp 42 is in a vertical position with its top opening facing upwards, it catches the cat treats falling from the cat treat storage mechanism's drop outlet. Once the main control board 2 receives the detection information sent by the cat treat exit detection sensor 416, the cat treat clamping and rotating mechanism immediately starts working. At this time, the main control board 2 controls the cat treat clamping motor 421 to rotate forward, clamping and fixing the cat treats in the cat treat clamp 42. Then, the main control board 2 controls the cat treat rotating motor 422 to work, driving the cat treat clamp 42 to rotate from a vertical position to a horizontal position, so that the front and rear ends of the cat treat face the cat treat cutting mechanism and the cat treat pushing mechanism, respectively.

[0087] In other embodiments, such as Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the cat bar clamp 42 includes a pressing upper cover plate 423, a pressing lower cover plate 424, multiple optical shafts 4242, a screw 4211, a slider 425, a screw 4251, and a spring 4252, which are described in detail below.

[0088] The upper extrusion cover plate 423 has multiple optical axis holes on both sides, with a cat bar clamping motor 421 installed on one side. The lower extrusion cover plate 424 has multiple optical axis sleeves 4243 on both sides, with a nut 4241 installed on one side. The multiple optical axes 4242 are inserted into the corresponding optical axis holes and optical axis sleeves 4243, thereby connecting the upper extrusion cover plate 423 and the lower extrusion cover plate 424 together. The top end of the screw 4211 is connected to the cat bar clamping motor 421, and the bottom end is inserted into the nut 4241, which can drive the lower extrusion cover plate 424 to move up and down along the optical axis 4242. Furthermore, under the restriction of the optical axis 4242 and the optical axis sleeves 4243, the lower extrusion cover plate 424 can only move back and forth in the vertical direction along the optical axis 4242.

[0089] In specific implementation, such as Figure 8As shown, when the cat bar clamping motor 421 rotates in the forward direction, the nut 4241 moves upward along the screw 4211, causing the lower cover plate 424 to move upward, thereby clamping the cat bar 9 between the upper cover plate 423 and the lower cover plate 424. Conversely, as... Figure 9 As shown, when the cat bar clamping motor 421 rotates in the reverse direction, the nut 4241 moves downward along the screw 4211, causing the lower cover plate 424 to move downward, thereby releasing the cat bar 9 between the upper cover plate 423 and the lower cover plate 424. In this way, the cat bar clamp 42 can fix the cat bar 9 and expel the cat bar 9.

[0090] The slider 425 has a slotted hole, and a cat-strip rotary motor 422 is mounted on its top surface. Its rear end is connected to the extrusion cover plate 423 via a spring 4252. A screw 4251 is installed on the top surface of the extrusion cover plate 423 through the slotted hole and can guide the slider 425 to move back and forth under the action of the spring 4252. Furthermore, under the constraint of the screw 4251 and the spring 4252, the screw 4251 can move back and forth within the slotted hole, thereby driving the extrusion cover plate 423 to move back and forth.

[0091] In specific implementation, such as Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, when the cat tag rotary motor 422 rotates, it can drive the slider 425, the upper extrusion cover plate 423, the lower extrusion cover plate 424, and the cat tag 9 to rotate from a vertical state to a horizontal state, or from a horizontal state to a vertical state. In this way, the cat tag clamp 42 can catch the cat tag 9 in the vertical state and discard the cat tag waste bag, and in the horizontal state, it can cooperate with the cat tag forward pushing mechanism to push the cat tag 9 forward.

[0092] And, as Figure 10 As shown, when the cat bar clamp 42 is pushed forward by the cat bar pusher mechanism, the slider 425 remains stationary, causing the spring 4252 to be compressed. When the cat bar pusher mechanism retracts, the spring 4252 pushes the upper cover plate 423 back to its original position.

[0093] As can be seen from the above, the cat treat clamping and rotating mechanism is used to clamp and rotate the cat treat 9 that has left the cat treat storage mechanism, adjusting it to the working position required by the cat treat pushing mechanism and the cat treat cutting mechanism, preparing for the subsequent pushing, cutting, and sealing of the cat treat 9. Furthermore, the cat treat clamping and rotating mechanism is also used to squeeze the cat treat 9, ensuring that the paste-like food inside the cat treat 9 can be smoothly squeezed out of the packaging bag, ensuring a smooth and continuous squeezing process.

[0094] In other embodiments, such as Figure 13 , Figure 14As shown, the cat treat push mechanism includes a push support frame 432, a push motor 431 mounted on the push support frame 432, and a cat treat push rod 43 connected to the front output shaft of the push motor 431. The push motor 431 is electrically connected to the main control board 2 and can drive the cat treat push rod 43 to move back and forth.

[0095] In practice, firstly, the main control board 2 controls the cat strip clamping motor 421 to reverse, causing the horizontal cat strip clamp 42 to release the cat strip 9, allowing the cat strip 9 to move back and forth within the cat strip clamp 42. Then, as... Figure 15 As shown, the main control board 2 controls the front push motor 431 to work, which drives the cat strip front push rod 43 to push the cat strip 9 forward a certain distance towards the cat strip cutting mechanism, so that the cat strip 9 seals forward and passes through the cat strip scissors 44.

[0096] As can be seen from the above, the cat strip pushing mechanism is used to push the cat strip 9 to the working position of the cat strip cutting mechanism through the cat strip pushing rod 43, in preparation for cutting and sealing the cat strip 9.

[0097] In other embodiments, such as Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the cat strip cutting mechanism includes a scissor motor support plate 444, a scissor motor 441 installed behind the scissor motor support plate 444, and a cat strip scissor 44 installed in front of the scissor motor support plate 444. The details are as follows.

[0098] The scissor motor support plate 444 has a cat strip feed port 445. Two rotating shafts are mounted on the two blades of the cat strip scissors 44; scissor gears 446 are mounted on the two rotating shafts, and the two scissor gears 446 can cooperate with each other. One rotating shaft is connected to a scissor motor 441; the scissor motor 441 is electrically connected to the main control board 2 and can drive the two blades to open and close.

[0099] In practice, a female drive shaft 443 is mounted on the output shaft of the scissor motor 441, and the female drive shaft 443 extends forward beyond the scissor motor support plate 444. A male drive shaft 442 is also mounted on one of its rotating shafts, and the male drive shaft 442 is located behind the blade and cooperates with the female drive shaft 443 to connect the cat strip scissors 44 to the scissor motor 441, and the scissor motor 441 drives the cat strip scissors 44 to open and close.

[0100] And, as Figure 16 As shown, when the cat strip cutting mechanism is working, the main control board 2 controls the scissor motor 441 to work, driving the cat strip scissors 44 to close, thereby cutting off the front end seal of the cat strip 9 that has passed through the cat strip feed port 445 and the cat strip scissors 44. Then, as... Figure 17As shown, the scissor motor 441 drives the cat strip scissors 44 to open, and the cat strip pushing mechanism continues to work, moving the cat strip 9 further towards the cat strip outlet 46. Next, the cat strip clamping and rotating mechanism continues to work, and the main control board 2 controls the cat strip clamping motor 421 to squeeze the cat strip 9, slowly squeezing the paste-like food inside the cat strip 9 from the scissor opening, and then slowly flowing out from the cat strip outlet 46.

[0101] As can be seen from the above, the cat bar cutting mechanism is used to cut off the front end seal of the cat bar 9 with the cat bar scissors 44, in preparation for squeezing the cat bar 9, ensuring that the cat bar 9 can be squeezed out of the packaging bag smoothly, while avoiding packaging bag fragments from getting into the cat bar.

[0102] like Figure 13 , Figure 16 As shown, the waste collection mechanism includes a waste bin 45, a collection port cover 451, a collection port cover motor 452, a lead screw 453, and a nut seat 454, which are described in detail below.

[0103] The waste bin 45 has a collection port on its top surface, with a cover rail and a collection port cover motor 452 located behind it. The collection port is located directly below the cat bar cutting mechanism and the cat bar clamping and rotating mechanism. The collection port cover 451 covers the collection port and is fitted with a nut seat 454. The front end of the lead screw 453 is inserted into the nut seat 454, and the rear end is connected to the collection port cover motor 452. The collection port cover motor 452 is electrically connected to the main control board 2. When the collection port cover motor 452 rotates, it drives the lead screw 453 to rotate, thereby pushing the nut seat 454 to move the collection port cover 451 back and forth along the cover rail. This rotational linear motion can also be achieved using a lead screw slide or a gear and magnetic strip structure.

[0104] In practice, the waste bin 45 can collect not only the cut-off cat treat 9 seals, but also the used cat treat bags after the paste-like food has been squeezed out. Before the cat treat cutting mechanism operates, the main control board 2 controls the collection port cover motor 452 to rotate forward, thereby moving the collection port cover 451 backward and opening the collection port of the waste bin 45. Only then is the cat treat cutting mechanism activated, and after the cat treat 9 seals are cut off, the cut seals naturally fall into the waste bin 45.

[0105] Furthermore, after the cat strip clamping motor 421 has finished compressing the cat strip 9, the main control board 2 controls the forward push motor 431 to reset, and the spring 4252 pulls the cat strip clamping rotation mechanism to move a certain distance in the opposite direction to the cat strip outlet 46. Then, the main control board 2 controls the cat strip rotation motor 422 to drive the cat strip clamp 42 to rotate from a horizontal state back to a vertical state, as shown. Figure 18As shown. Next, the main control board 2 controls the cat bar clamping motor 421 to reverse, causing the cat bar clamp 42 to release the cat bar 9 waste bag, and the cat bar 9 waste bag naturally falls into the waste bin 45. Finally, the main control board 2 controls the collection port cover motor 452 to reverse, thereby causing the collection port cover 451 to move forward, thus closing the collection port of the waste bin 45.

[0106] As can be seen from the above, the waste collection mechanism is used to collect the cut-off cat treat 9 seals and cat treat 9 waste bags, which facilitates the recycling of waste and keeps the feeding environment clean.

[0107] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the dry food feeding mechanism includes a dry food storage bin 31 inserted in the hollow of the annular wheel-type cat treat storage bin 41, a dry food turntable 32 placed on the bottom surface of the dry food storage bin 31, a dry food turntable motor 321 installed on the bottom surface of the dry food storage bin 31, and a dry food discharge pipe 33 connecting the bottom opening of the dry food storage bin 31 and the dry food discharge port 35. The details are as follows.

[0108] The top surface of the dry food turntable 32 is divided into several spaces by a partition, and a grain discharge port is opened on the bottom surface of one of the spaces. The dry food turntable motor 321 is electrically connected to the main control board 2, and its output shaft is connected to the dry food turntable 32, which can drive the dry food turntable 32 to rotate, so that the grain discharge port can communicate with the opening of the dry food storage silo 31. The bottom opening of the dry food discharge pipe 33 is equipped with a dry food discharge port cover 351, and a discharge port cover motor 34 is installed on the outer side, and the discharge port cover motor 34 is connected to the dry food discharge port cover 351. The discharge port cover motor 34 is electrically connected to the main control board 2 and can drive the dry food discharge port cover 351 to open and close.

[0109] In practice, pelleted cat food is pre-stored in the dry food storage compartment 31. When the dry food feeding mechanism is working, the main control board 2 first controls the outlet cover motor 34 to rotate forward, at which point the dry food outlet cover 351 opens. Furthermore, the outlet cover motor 34 is equipped with a power monitoring function. If food jamming occurs, the power of the outlet cover motor 34 will be too high. In this case, the control circuit can automatically control the outlet cover motor 34 to first reverse a certain angle, and after the food jamming is released, it will continue to rotate forward.

[0110] Then, the main control board 2 controls the dry food turntable motor 321 to rotate, thereby driving the dry food turntable 32 to rotate. During the rotation of the dry food turntable 32, the food inlet on one of its slots connects with the opening of the dry food storage bin 31. At this time, the cat food in the dry food storage bin 31 falls sequentially through the food inlet and the opening into the dry food dispensing pipe 33, and finally flows out from the dry food outlet 35 for the pet to eat. Furthermore, the main control board 2 controls the overlap between the food inlet and the opening by controlling the rotation angle of the dry food turntable 32, thereby controlling the amount of dry food dispensed.

[0111] Finally, after the dry food is dispensed, the main control board 2 controls the dry food turntable motor 321 to reverse, causing the food inlet of the dry food turntable 32 to be misaligned with the opening of the dry food storage bin 31. At this point, the cat food in the dry food storage bin 31 no longer flows out. Then, the main control board 2 controls the discharge port cover motor 34 to reverse, at which point the dry food discharge port cover 351 closes, and the dry food feeding mechanism stops feeding.

[0112] As described above, the dry food storage bin 31 is used to store dry food, ensuring its dryness, freshness, and safety. The dry food turntable motor 321 and the dry food turntable 32 are used to transport the dry food in the dry food storage bin 31 to the dry food discharge pipe 33 according to a preset amount or time interval. The dry food discharge pipe 33 is used to realize the transportation of dry food and ensure that the transportation of dry food is accurate and stable, avoiding blockage or overflow. In this way, the dry food feeding mechanism realizes automated feeding of dry food by integrating multiple functional components such as storage and transportation. This mechanism not only improves the convenience and accuracy of feeding, but also ensures that cats can eat dry food on time and in the correct amount.

[0113] In other embodiments, the main body housing 1 is further provided with a detachably connected cat treat outlet housing 461; the cat treat outlet 46 is formed on the cat treat outlet housing 461.

[0114] In practice, the outer shell 461 of the cat treat outlet is fixed to the main shell 1 by magnetic attraction, so as to achieve the effect of detachable cat treat outlet 46 and convenient cleaning.

[0115] In other embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the present invention also includes a cat bar tray 47 and a dry food tray 36 installed on the outer side of the main body shell 1.

[0116] The cat treat receiving tray 47 is installed at the bottom of the main body shell 1 and is located directly below the cat treat outlet 46. The dry food tray 36 is installed at the bottom of the main body shell 1 and is located directly below the dry food outlet 35.

[0117] In practice, the cat food in the dry food storage compartment 31 flows out from the dry food outlet 35 through the dry food discharge pipe 33 and finally falls into the dry food tray 36 for the pet to eat. Furthermore, the paste-like food in the cat treat 9 is squeezed out from the cut end and falls into the cat treat receiving tray 47 through the cat treat outlet 46 for the pet to eat.

[0118] In other embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the present invention also includes a wide-angle camera 5, a speaker 6, a microphone, a light strip 7, and a camera 8, which are electrically connected to the main control board 2, as detailed below.

[0119] The wide-angle camera 5 is mounted on the top of the outer side of the main body shell 1, directly above the cat treat outlet 46. The camera 8 is mounted in the middle of the outer side of the main body shell 1, also directly above the cat treat outlet 46. The speaker 6 and microphone are mounted on the side of the wide-angle camera 5. The light strip 7 is mounted on the outer side of the main body shell 1, between the wide-angle camera 5 and the camera 8.

[0120] In practice, the wide-angle camera 5 and camera 8 are used to collect image data of the cat, including its appearance, movements, and expressions. Image data is crucial for identifying the cat's identity and status, and is also the basis for behavioral analysis. During operation, the wide-angle camera 5 is used for wide-angle shooting, and the camera 8 is used for close-up shooting; both capture images of the cat in real time and transmit the data to the main control board 2 for image recognition and analysis.

[0121] The speaker 6 is used to play the user's voice commands or calls, allowing the cat to hear and respond. Furthermore, the speaker 6 is connected to the main control board 2, receiving and playing audio signals processed by the main control board 2.

[0122] The microphone is used to collect the cat's vocalizations and ambient sound data. The cat's vocalizations can reflect its hunger level, emotional state, and other information, which is important for developing feeding and interaction plans. During operation, the microphone transmits the collected sound data to the main control board 2 for speech recognition and analysis.

[0123] The light strip 7 is used to provide visual feedback, such as flashing or color changing, to attract the cat's attention or indicate the status of the feeder. Furthermore, the light strip 7 is controlled by the main control board 2, changing its color and brightness according to the cat's behavior or user commands.

[0124] Furthermore, the collected data is processed and analyzed by the AI ​​processor on the main control board 2, which can identify the cat's identity, status, and needs, thus providing a basis for subsequent feeding and interaction.

[0125] In summary, the device of the present invention adopts an integrated layout of cat stick feeding structure and dry food feeding structure, realizing a series of functions such as dry food dispensing, cat stick cutting, food extrusion, and garbage bag recycling. It not only improves the convenience and accuracy of feeding and helps users better manage and care for their pet cats, but also ensures the hygiene and safety of the feeding environment.

[0126] Example 2: Regarding the pet cat stick and dry food feeding device of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for operating the pet cat stick and dry food feeding device, in particular, a method for feeding cat sticks, the steps of which are as follows.

[0127] A1. The main control board 2 controls the rotation of the cat treat storage compartment motor 414. The storage compartment motor 414 drives the annular wheel-type cat treat storage compartment 41 to rotate through the motor gear 415 and the annular rack 413 until the cat treats appear in the storage compartment through hole 412 and fall out of the cat treat storage compartment support plate 418. Figure 6 As shown, the dropped cat tag falls downwards into the cat tag holder 42, as... Figure 13 As shown.

[0128] A2. The main control board 2 first controls the cat bar clamping motor 421 to rotate forward, which drives the cat bar clamp 42 to clamp the cat bar.

[0129] The main control board 2 then controls the cat strip rotation motor 422 to work, driving the cat strip clamp 42 to rotate from a vertical position to a horizontal position. At this time, the front and rear ends of the cat strip are respectively facing the cat strip cutting mechanism and the cat strip pushing mechanism. Figure 8 As shown.

[0130] A3. The main control board 2 first controls the cat bar clamping motor 421 to reverse, which drives the cat bar clamp 42 to release the cat bar. Figure 9 As shown.

[0131] The main control board 2 then controls the cat strip pushing mechanism to push the cat strip 9 forward into the cat strip cutting mechanism. Specifically, the main control board 2 then controls the push motor 431 to drive the cat strip push rod 43 to push the cat strip forward a certain distance towards the cat strip cutting mechanism. At this time, the cat strip seal passes forward through the cat strip scissors 44, as shown. Figure 14 , Figure 15 As shown.

[0132] A4. The main control board 2 controls the cat strip cutting mechanism to cut off the front end seal of the cat strip 9. The cut-off seal then falls downwards into the waste bin 45. Figure 16 As shown; the main control board 2 then controls the cat strip cutting mechanism to reset.

[0133] In practice, the main control board 2 first controls the collection port cover motor 452 to rotate forward, driving the collection port cover 451 to move backward, at which time the collection port of the garbage bin 45 opens; the main control board 2 then controls the scissor motor 441 to work, driving the cat strip scissors 44 to close, cutting off the cat strip seal that passes through the cat strip scissors 44, at which time the cut cat strip seal falls downward into the garbage bin 45; the main control board 2 then controls the scissor motor 441 to work, driving the cat strip scissors 44 to open.

[0134] A5. The main control board 2 first controls the cat bar forward pushing mechanism to push the cat bar 9 forward to the cat bar outlet 46, such as... Figure 17 As shown; the main control board 2 then controls the cat bar clamping motor 421 to rotate forward, driving the cat bar clamp 42 to squeeze the cat bar, at which time the paste-like food in the cat bar is squeezed out from the cut.

[0135] In practice, the main control board 2 first controls the front push motor 431 to work, which drives the cat strip front push rod 43 to push the cat strip to move a distance towards the cat strip outlet 46. At this time, the cat strip cutter passes forward through the cat strip outlet 46. The main control board 2 then controls the cat strip clamping motor 421 to rotate forward, which drives the cat strip clamp 42 to squeeze the cat strip. At this time, the paste-like food in the cat strip is squeezed out from the cutter.

[0136] A6. The main control board 2 controls the cat bar forward push mechanism to reset. In specific implementation, the main control board 2 controls the forward push motor 431 to reset.

[0137] The main control board 2 then controls the cat treat rotation motor 422 to operate, causing the cat treat clamp 42 to rotate from a horizontal position back to a vertical position; the main control board 2 then controls the cat treat clamping motor 421 to reverse, causing the cat treat clamp 42 to release the cat treat waste bag, at which point the cat treat waste bag falls downwards into the waste bin 45, as... Figure 18 As shown.

[0138] Example 3: Regarding the pet cat stick and dry food feeding device of the present invention, the present invention provides a working method of the pet cat stick and dry food feeding device, in particular, a working method for automatically feeding dry food, the steps of which are as follows.

[0139] B1. The main control board 2 controls the discharge port cover motor 34 to rotate forward, at which time the dry food discharge port cover 351 opens.

[0140] B2. The main control board 2 controls the dry food turntable motor 321 to rotate. The dry food turntable motor 321 drives the dry food turntable 32 to rotate until the food drop outlet of the dry food turntable 32 is connected to the opening of the dry food storage silo 31. At this time, the cat food in the dry food storage silo 31 falls into the dry food discharge pipe 33 through the food drop outlet and the opening, and flows out from the dry food discharge outlet 35.

[0141] B3. The main control board 2 controls the dry food turntable motor 321 to reverse until the food drop outlet of the dry food turntable 32 is misaligned with the opening of the dry food storage bin 31. At this time, the cat food in the dry food storage bin 31 will no longer flow out.

[0142] B4. The main control board 2 controls the discharge port cover motor 34 to reverse, at which time the dry food discharge port cover 351 closes.

[0143] As described above, by utilizing the working method of the dry food feeding mechanism, automatic feeding can be achieved, improving the convenience and accuracy of pet feeding.

[0144] In summary, this pet cat treat and dry food feeding device integrates both cat treat and dry food feeding methods, enabling intelligent management of pet feeding. This not only improves the convenience and accuracy of pet feeding but also helps improve the pet's health and quality of life, meeting the diverse needs of users.
