Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pet supplies, and in particular to a piano-type music feeder for pets. Background Art
[0002] A pet feeder is a device used to provide food for pets. It is generally divided into electronic and non-electronic types. Electronic pet feeders are further divided into smart feeders, timed feeders, etc. Their main feature is that they need to be powered on, and can feed pets at regular intervals and in fixed quantities to achieve controllable management. The function of non-electronic pet feeders is relatively simpler. Their main function is to store a fixed amount of food for pets in advance. When the owner is not at home, the pet can get food by itself, which not only ensures the freshness of the food, but also meets the pet's need for automatic eating. In addition, they have no electricity requirements, which makes them relatively more applicable.
[0003] However, existing non-electronic pet feeders generally only have a feeding function, and the overall function is relatively simple, and it is impossible to interact with pets, resulting in a lack of fun. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a pet piano-style music feeder. Summary of the invention
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a piano-type music feeder for pets.
[0005] The present invention is implemented by the following technical scheme: an outer box designed in the shape of a piano, a material bin and a material guide plate are arranged in the outer box, a key platform is arranged on one side of the outer box, a material outlet is arranged on one side of the outer box, a trigger mechanism is arranged on the key platform, and a gate mechanism that can be triggered by the trigger mechanism is arranged in the outer box; The trigger mechanism includes a plurality of keys and a lever rotatably arranged on the keybed, a connecting strip is hinged between the keys and the lever, a knocking rod is arranged at the end of each of the plurality of keys, a sound generator is arranged in the outer box, and the sound generator and the gate mechanism can be triggered simultaneously by pressing the keys, thereby realizing the discharging and sound generation synchronously; The gate mechanism comprises a suspension rod which is slidably installed in the outer box and can be driven by a lever to be lifted and lowered, and a gate plate which is slidably inserted at the discharge port and connected to the suspension rod.
[0006] As a further improvement of the above scheme, two inclined sliding frames are provided on the inner walls on both sides of the outer box, and the two ends of the suspension rod respectively extend into the two inclined sliding frames and are slidably connected with the two inclined sliding frames, so that the suspension rod will rise along the two inclined sliding frames when rising.
[0007] As a further improvement of the above scheme, a load-bearing bar is slidably installed in the outer box, and multiple levers are connected to the load-bearing bar. The load-bearing bar has two telescopic lifting frames for upper limit rotation, and the two telescopic lifting frames are both at the bottom of the suspension rod. In this way, the load-bearing bar can drive the suspension rod to rise through the two telescopic lifting frames, and when the suspension rod rises to the top of the inclined sliding frame, it will separate from the two telescopic lifting frames and automatically fall back, so that even if the trigger mechanism is always in a pressed state, the gate mechanism can automatically close.
[0008] As a further improvement of the above scheme, two support bars are arranged in the outer box, and telescopic bars are hinged on the two support bars. The other ends of the two telescopic bars are hinged to the load-bearing bars, so that when the lever on the side drives the load-bearing bar to rise, the load-bearing bar can also maintain a relatively stable center of gravity and rise normally.
[0009] As a further improvement of the above solution, a support frame is provided on one side of the outer box, and a spring is provided between the top of the gate plate and the bottom of the support frame, so that the gate plate can fall and close more smoothly under the reverse push of the spring.
[0010] As a further improvement of the above scheme, a rack is provided on one side of the gate plate, and a metering wheel opposite to the silo discharge port and a first gear meshing with the rack are rotatably installed on the guide plate, and a second gear meshing with the first gear is provided on the shaft of the metering wheel, so that the gate plate can drive the metering wheel to rotate while rising, thereby realizing quantitative discharging.
[0011] As a further improvement of the above scheme, the rack consists of a vertical bar and a plurality of transmission teeth rotatably mounted on the vertical bar, and limiting protrusions are provided at the bottom of the plurality of transmission teeth, so that when the rack follows the gate plate to rise, the plurality of transmission teeth are restricted by the limiting protrusions and can smoothly drive the first gear to rotate, and when the gate plate drives the rack to descend, the rotatable transmission teeth will neither drive the first gear to rotate by itself nor limit the normal resetting of the rack.
[0012] As a further improvement of the above solution, one end of the lever is designed to be arched, so that while ensuring the compactness of the overall structure, the lever will not restrict the normal rise of the boom.
[0013] As a further improvement of the above solution, a partition is provided in the outer box so that the discharge port area of the silo in the outer box can form an enclosed space to prevent the pet food in the silo from having excessive contact with the outside air, thereby ensuring the freshness of the pet food.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: By combining the outer box, the silo, the keys, the knocking rod, the sound generator, the gate and other structures, a pet feeder with a simple piano sounding structure is formed.

The whole implementation method adopts a traditional mechanical structure, which makes it have no power supply requirements, and there is no need to worry about the problem of power disconnection when the pet is playing, causing the pet to be unable to use normally. In order to prevent the pet from unconsciously climbing and pressing on the keys for a long time, which causes the gate to be unable to close, and thus causes the pet food in the silo to be in contact with the outside air for a long time, an inclined sliding frame is provided for the hanging rod, and a load-bearing bar and a telescopic lifting frame that can cooperate with it are provided, so that after the load-bearing bar and the telescopic lifting frame drive the hanging rod to rise to a certain height, the hanging rod and the gate can automatically reset, so that the discharge port can be closed automatically, and the structural design of the telescopic lifting frame also allows it to reset normally; The gate, rack, first gear, second gear and metering wheel and other structures cooperate to achieve quantitative discharge of pet food and avoid waste caused by discharging too much pet food at one time. At the same time, the design of the metering wheel can also prevent pet food from accumulating at the discharge port and affecting the normal closing of the gate. The design of the transmission teeth on the rack can also ensure the normal discharge of the metering wheel and avoid leakage caused by reversal of the metering wheel.

[0017] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0018] Please combine Figures 1 to 11 , a pet piano-style music feeder, comprising: an outer box 1, the overall shape of the outer box 1 is similar to that of a toy piano, the outer box 1 is composed of a box body and a top cover arranged on the top of the box body, the top cover can be connected to the box body in a hinged manner, and the top cover can be opened to pour pet food into the silo 2, and a silo 2, a partition 3 and a guide plate 4 are arranged in the outer box 1. The silo 2 is rhombus-shaped as a whole, so that the pet food stored inside can be smoothly discharged through the discharge port at the bottom, and the partition 3 can make the discharge port area in the outer box 1 form a closed space to prevent the pet food in the silo 2 from excessive contact with the outside air, so as to ensure the freshness of the pet food, and two edge guards are arranged on the guide plate 4, which are connected to the discharge port of the outer box 1, so that the pet food falling on the guide plate 4 can be smoothly discharged through the discharge port, and a key platform 5 is arranged on one side of the outer box 1, and a discharge port is arranged on one side of the outer box 1; A trigger mechanism is arranged on the keybed 5, and the trigger mechanism includes a plurality of keys 6 and a lever 8 rotatably arranged on the keybed 5. A connecting strip 7 is hinged between the key 6 and the lever 8. One end of the lever 8 is designed in an arch shape, so as to ensure that the overall structure is compact while the lever 8 does not restrict the normal rise of the suspension rod 14. The key 6 can increase its pulling height of the load-bearing bar 12 by cooperating with the lever 8, so that the gate 16 can reach a suitable opening height. A knocking rod 9 is arranged at the end of each of the plurality of keys 6, and a sound generator 10 is arranged in the outer box 1. The sound generator 10 is composed of a plurality of metal strips of different lengths. Different sounds can be emitted by knocking the knocking rod 9. By pressing the key 6, the sound generator 10 and the gate mechanism can be triggered at the same time, so as to realize the discharging and sounding synchronously.
[0019] Through the above technical scheme, a pet feeder with a simple piano sounding structure is formed, which combines a toy piano with a feeder, thereby satisfying the feeding function while also achieving a certain degree of fun, thereby satisfying the pet's eating and playing needs, and the entire implementation method adopts a traditional mechanical structure, which makes it have no power supply requirements, and there is no need to worry about the problem of power disconnection when the pet is playing, causing the pet to be unable to use the feeder normally.
[0020] A load-bearing bar 12 is slidably installed in the outer box 1, and limiting frames are provided on the inner walls on both sides of the outer box 1. The two ends of the load-bearing bar 12 extend into the two limiting frames respectively and are slidably connected to the two limiting frames. Two support bars 23 are provided in the outer box 1, and telescopic bars 24 are hinged on the two support bars 23. The other ends of the two telescopic bars 24 are hinged to the load-bearing bar 12, so that when the lever 8 at the side drives the load-bearing bar 12 to rise, the load-bearing bar 12 can also maintain a relatively stable center of gravity and rise normally. A first lifting rope 11 is connected between multiple levers 8 and the load-bearing bar 12, and the load-bearing bar 12 has two telescopic lifting frames 13 for rotating at the upper limit position, and the telescopic lifting frame 13 is composed of a sleeve rotatably installed on the load-bearing bar 12 and a trapezoidal block telescopically installed in the sleeve. , so that when the load-bearing bar 12 is lowered, after the telescopic lifting frame 13 contacts the suspension rod 14, the telescopic lifting frame 13 will lean back to allow the trapezoidal block to retract into the sleeve, and after the load-bearing bar 12 falls back to its original position, the telescopic lifting frame 13 will tilt forward under the influence of its own weight to allow the trapezoidal block to extend out of the sleeve, thereby satisfying that the load-bearing bar 12 can be raised and lowered normally, and at the same time, the suspension rod 14 can be driven to rise normally. Both telescopic lifting frames 13 are at the bottom of the suspension rod 14, so that the load-bearing bar 12 can drive the suspension rod 14 to rise through the two telescopic lifting frames 13, and when the suspension rod 14 rises to the top of the inclined sliding frame, it will separate from the two telescopic lifting frames 13 and automatically fall back, so that even if the trigger mechanism is always in a pressed state, the gate mechanism can automatically close; A gate mechanism that can be triggered by a trigger mechanism is arranged in the outer box 1. The gate mechanism includes a suspension rod 14 that is slidably installed in the outer box 1 and can be driven by a lever 8 to be raised and lowered, and a gate plate 16 that is slidably inserted at the discharge port. Two inclined sliding frames are arranged on the inner walls on both sides of the outer box 1. The two ends of the suspension rod 14 extend into the two inclined sliding frames respectively and are slidably connected with the two inclined sliding frames, so that the suspension rod 14 will be inclined and rise along the two inclined sliding frames when it rises. A second suspension rope 15 is connected between the gate plate 16 and the suspension rod 14, and a support frame 17 is arranged on one side of the outer box 1. A spring 18 is arranged between the top of the gate plate 16 and the bottom of the support frame 17, so that the gate plate 16 can fall and close more smoothly under the reverse push of the spring 18.
[0021] Through the above technical scheme, in order to prevent the pet from unconsciously climbing and pressing on the keys 6 for a long time, resulting in the gate 16 being unable to close, thereby causing the pet food in the silo 2 to be in contact with the outside air for a long time, an inclined sliding frame is provided for the suspension rod 14, and a load-bearing bar 12 and a telescopic lifting frame 13 that can cooperate therewith are provided, so that after the load-bearing bar 12 and the telescopic lifting frame 13 drive the suspension rod 14 to rise to a specific height, the suspension rod 14 and the gate 16 can automatically reset, thereby allowing the discharge port to close automatically, and the structural design of the telescopic lifting frame 13 also allows it to reset normally.
[0022] A rack 19 is provided on one side of the gate 16, and a quantitative wheel 21 opposite to the discharge port of the silo 2 and a first gear 20 meshing with the rack 19 are rotatably installed on the guide plate 4. A second gear 22 meshing with the first gear 20 is provided on the shaft of the quantitative wheel 21, so that the gate 16 can drive the quantitative wheel 21 to rotate while rising, so as to achieve quantitative discharging. The rack 19 is composed of vertical bars and a plurality of transmission teeth rotatably installed on the vertical bars. The bottoms of the plurality of transmission teeth are all provided with limiting protrusions, so that when the rack 19 follows the gate 16 to rise, the plurality of transmission teeth are restricted by the limiting protrusions and can smoothly drive the first gear 20 to rotate. When the gate 16 drives the rack 19 to descend, the rotatable transmission teeth will neither drive the first gear 20 to rotate by itself, nor limit the normal resetting of the rack 19.
[0023] Through the above technical solution, quantitative discharge of pet food can be achieved to avoid waste caused by discharging too much pet food at one time, and the design of the transmission teeth on the rack 19 can ensure the normal discharge of the quantitative wheel 21 and avoid leakage caused by the reversal of the quantitative wheel 21.
[0024] The implementation principle of a piano-style music feeder for pets in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: When in use, the top cover of the outer box 1 needs to be opened, and then the pet food is poured into the silo 2 inside it; When the pet presses any key 6 or any combination of keys 6, the corresponding key 6 will press down the lever 8 through the connecting bar 7. During this process, the end of the key 6 rises and drives the knocking rod 9 to knock the sound generator 10, thereby making a sound. At the same time, one end of the lever 8 also rises and drives the load-bearing bar 12 to rise through the corresponding first hanging rope 11. When the load-bearing bar 12 rises, the hanging rod 14 is driven to rise through the two telescopic lifting frames 13. The hanging rod 14 lifts the gate plate 16 through the second hanging rope 15, thereby realizing the opening of the discharge port; When the gate plate 16 rises, it drives the first gear 20 to rotate through the rack 19, and the first gear 20 drives the second gear 22 and the metering wheel 21 to rotate clockwise, so that the metering wheel 21 can quantitatively discharge the pet food in the silo 2 onto the guide plate 4, and then discharge it through the gate plate 16, so that the pet can get food by itself; In order to prevent the pet from unconsciously climbing and pressing on the keys 6 for a long time, causing the gate 16 to be unable to close, thereby causing the pet food in the silo 2 to be in contact with the outside air for a long time, when the suspension rod 14 rises to the top under the lifting of the telescopic lifting frame 13, it will exceed the support range of the telescopic lifting frame 13. At this time, the suspension rod 14 will automatically fall back to the bottom, so that the gate 16 can be closed again. In addition, when the gate 16 drives the rack 19 to fall, the transmission teeth on the rack 19 will adaptively adjust their angles when in contact with the first gear 20, so that the rack 19 and the gate 16 can be reset without affecting the first gear 20. When the suspension rod 14 and the gate plate 16 are reset after falling down, if the pet releases the key 6, at this time, the load-bearing bar 12 drives the lever 8 and the key 6 to be reset through the first suspension rope 11, and when the two telescopic lifting frames 13 thereon come into contact with the reset suspension rod 14, the entire telescopic lifting frame 13 will tilt, so that the trapezoidal blocks on the telescopic lifting frames 13 slide into the sleeve, so that the suspension rod 14 and the telescopic lifting frames 13 can be reset, and when the telescopic lifting frames 13 are reset, they will tilt forward due to their own weight, so that the trapezoidal blocks will extend out of the sleeve again, so that the telescopic lifting frames 13 can still drive the suspension rod 14 to rise after rising.

Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
