The operation is cumbersome, the labor is high, and it is inconvenient to use.

[0004] Therefore, the prior art still needs to be improved and developed. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a pet feeding machine, which forms an assembly line from feeding to recycling of cans through mechanical automation, and works in a cycle, replacing manual work of opening the lids of pet cans for feeding, saving labor and being more convenient to use.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution applied by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A pet feeder comprises a shell, a feeding port is provided on the shell, a silo, a waste storage bin and a conveying assembly are arranged in the shell, the silo is filled with cans, and a can discharge port is provided on the silo; when the conveying assembly rotates forward, it is used to convey the cans dropped from the can discharge port to the feeding port, and to open the cans located at the feeding port through a cover opening device; when the conveying assembly rotates reversely, it is used to convey the empty cans in the feeding port to the waste storage bin. With this arrangement, when unloading, the cans are unloaded onto the conveying assembly through the can unloading port, the conveying assembly rotates forward to drive the cans to the feeding port, and the cans are opened by the cover opening device, which is convenient for feeding pets. When the cans are empty, the conveying assembly rotates reversely to convey the empty cans in the feeding port to the waste storage bin, while avoiding space for the next can to the feeding port. The present invention forms an assembly line from unloading to recycling of cans through mechanical automation, and works in a cycle, replacing manual work to open the covers of pet cans for feeding, saving labor and being more convenient to use.

[0008] According to the above scheme, an inclined guide rail is fixed on the inner wall of the shell, the higher end of the guide rail is located below the can box feeding port, the lower end of the guide rail is located above the conveying assembly, and a recovery channel is formed between the lower end of the guide rail and the conveying assembly, and the recovery channel is connected to the waste storage bin. In this way, when feeding, the cans falling through the can box feeding port are guided to the conveying assembly by the guide rail, and the conveying assembly rotates forward to convey the cans to the feeding port. When recycling, the conveying assembly rotates reversely to convey the empty cans through the recovery channel and fall into the waste storage bin.

[0009] According to the above scheme, the can box includes a flip cover and a box body, the first end of the flip cover is hinged to the first end of the box body, and the second end of the flip cover is correspondingly locked to the second end of the box body through a locking component; the cover opening device includes an unlocking component and a driving component. When the conveying component conveys the can box dropped from the can box feeding port to the feeding port, the unlocking component unlocks the locking component, and then the unlocked flip cover is driven by the driving component to flip and open relative to the box body.

[0010] According to the above scheme, the locking assembly includes a lock buckle provided on the flip cover and a lock groove provided on the box body, and the lock buckle is locked correspondingly to the lock groove; the unlocking assembly includes a first unlocking protrusion, and the first unlocking protrusion is located outside the feeding port, and a second unlocking protrusion is provided on the flip cover, and when the conveying assembly conveys the can box dropped from the can box feeding port to the feeding port, the second unlocking protrusion is pushed upward by the first unlocking protrusion, so that the second unlocking protrusion drives the lock buckle to move upward and disengage from the lock groove. In this way, when the conveying assembly conveys the can box dropped from the can box feeding port to the feeding port, the can box is driven to move toward the direction of the first unlocking protrusion under the conveying force of the conveying assembly, so that the second unlocking protrusion contacts the first unlocking protrusion, and under the continuous force, the second unlocking protrusion and the first unlocking protrusion are driven to form an extrusion, so that the second unlocking protrusion is pushed upward by the first unlocking protrusion, and the second unlocking protrusion drives the lock buckle to disengage from the lock groove when it moves upward.

[0011] According to the above scheme, a first limiting strip is provided on the inner wall of the feeding port, and a second limiting strip is provided on the outer wall of the box body. When the conveying component conveys the cans dropped from the can feeding port to the feeding port, the second limiting strip cooperates with the first limiting strip to limit the box body. In this way, when the conveying component conveys the cans dropped from the can feeding port to the feeding port, the first limiting strip and the second limiting strip cooperate to limit the box body in the longitudinal direction, so that when the flip cover moves upward, the box body will not move upward with it, thereby achieving unlocking.

[0012] According to the above scheme, a trigger component is provided in the feeding port. When the conveying component conveys the can dropped from the can feeding port to the feeding port and is unlocked, the can triggers the trigger component to make the driving component work, and the unlocked flip cover is flipped open relative to the box body. In this way, in the initial state, the driving component is away from the can, which facilitates the can to move on the conveying component. When the can is unlocked, it triggers the trigger component and the driving component starts to work.

[0013] According to the above scheme, a rotating shaft is fixed to the first end of the flip cover, and the rotating shaft is hinged to the first end of the box body. When the conveying component conveys the can box dropped from the can box feeding port to the feeding port for unlocking, the driving component is correspondingly connected to the rotating shaft, and drives the rotating shaft to drive the unlocked flip cover to flip open relative to the box body.

[0014] According to the above scheme, the driving assembly includes a second motor and a third motor, the second motor is fixed in the shell, a push rod is fixed to the output end of the second motor, the push rod and the third motor are arranged correspondingly, the third motor is slidably arranged on the outer wall of the transmission assembly, a rotating rod is fixed to the output end of the third motor, and the rotating rod is connected correspondingly to the rotating shaft. When the transmission assembly transmits the can box dropped from the can box feeding port to the feeding port for unlocking, the second motor drives the push rod to extend and push the third motor close to the can box, so that the rotating rod and the rotating shaft are locked and connected, and the third motor drives the rotating rod to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, so that the rotating shaft drives the unlocked flip cover to flip open relative to the box body.

[0015] According to the above scheme, a guide slide bar is fixed on the outer wall of the transmission component, the third motor is slidably connected to the guide slide bar, and a reset spring is arranged between the third motor and the outer wall of the transmission component. When the second motor drives the push rod to retract, the reset spring drives the third motor away from the can box to make the rotating rod disengage from the rotating shaft. In this way, the third motor is slidably arranged on the guide slide bar, so that the third motor moves linearly relative to the can box and always remains on the same plane, thereby ensuring that the rotating rod and the rotating shaft are in corresponding positions, wherein, in the initial state, the third motor is away from the transmission component under the elastic force of the reset spring, and when the second motor drives the third motor to slide toward the transmission component, the reset spring is in a compressed state, and when the rotating rod is disengaged from the rotating shaft, the transmission component can rotate in the opposite direction to drive the empty can box to be transmitted to the waste storage bin.

[0016] According to the above scheme, the transmission assembly includes a belt housing, a transmission belt and a fourth motor, the transmission belt is installed in the belt housing, the fourth motor is installed on the outer wall of the belt housing, the fourth motor is used to drive the transmission belt to rotate forward and reversely, the first end of the transmission belt is located below the lower end of the guide rail, and is arranged with an upper and lower interval with the guide rail, and the second end of the transmission belt is located in the feeding port. In this way, the fourth motor drives the transmission belt to rotate forward and reverse, so that the transmission belt drives the cans to be transmitted to the feeding port or from the feeding port to the waste storage bin.

[0017] According to the above scheme, a pressure sensor for detecting whether the can is empty is provided in the feeding port. When the pressure sensor detects that the can is empty, the fourth motor drives the transmission belt to rotate in the opposite direction, so as to transfer the empty can from the feeding port through the recycling channel and drop it into the waste storage bin. In this way, when the pressure sensor detects that the can is not empty, it is in the feeding state. When the pressure sensor detects that the can is empty, the next can needs to be replaced. The pressure sensor feeds back the signal to the controller, and the controller sends a reverse working signal to the fourth motor.

[0018] According to the above scheme, a baffle plate is movably provided in the can box feeding port, and a first motor is fixed on the silo, and the first motor is used to drive the baffle plate to rotate to open or close the can box feeding port. In this arrangement, the baffle plate is driven by the first motor to open or close the can box feeding port. When closed, the can box is located in the silo, and when opened, the can box located in the silo starts to be discharged.

[0047] The technical solution of the present invention is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0048] Embodiment 1:

[0049] like Figures 1 to 21 As shown, a pet feeder described in the present invention includes a shell 1, a feeding port 11 is provided on the shell 1, a silo 2, a waste storage bin 17 and a conveying component are provided in the shell 1, the silo 2 is filled with cans 7, and the silo 2 is provided with a can discharge port 22; when the conveying component rotates forward, it is used to convey the cans 7 dropped from the can discharge port 22 to the feeding port 11, and open the cans 7 located at the feeding port 11 through the cover opening device; when the conveying component rotates reversely, it is used to convey the empty cans 7 in the feeding port 11 to the waste storage bin 17.

[0050] With such arrangement, during operation, the cans 7 are unloaded onto the conveying assembly through the can unloading port 22, and the conveying assembly rotates forward to drive the cans 7 to be conveyed into the feeding port 11, and the cans 7 are opened by the lid opening device, which is convenient for feeding pets. When the cans 7 are empty, the conveying assembly rotates reversely to convey the empty cans 7 in the feeding port 11 to the waste storage bin 17, while avoiding the space for the next can 7 to the feeding port 11. The present invention forms an assembly line from unloading to recycling of the cans 7 through mechanical automation, and works in a cycle, replacing manual work to open the lids and feed the pet cans, saving labor and being more convenient to use.

[0051] In actual application, the shell 1 includes an upper cover 3, a movable cover 4 and a base 10, wherein the base 10 is installed on the bottom of the shell 1. When a certain number of cans 7 are stored, the base 10 can be opened for emptying; wherein the upper cover 3 is installed on the top opening of the shell 1, so as to facilitate filling the cans 7 into the silo 2; wherein the movable cover 4 is hinged on the feeding port 11, and is used to open or close the feeding port 11. In the initial state, the movable cover 4 is in a state of closing the feeding port 11 to prevent foreign matter from entering the shell 1 through the feeding port 11. When the opening device opens the can 7 located at the feeding port 11, the flip cover 72 of the can 7 drives the movable cover 4 to open the feeding port 11.

[0052] Furthermore, an inclined guide rail 15 is fixed on the inner wall of the shell 1, the higher end of the guide rail 15 is located below the can discharge port 22, the lower end of the guide rail 15 is located above the conveying component, and a recovery channel 16 is formed between the lower end of the guide rail 15 and the conveying component, and the recovery channel 16 is connected to the waste storage bin 17.

[0053] With such arrangement, during unloading, the cans 7 falling through the can unloading port 22 are guided to the conveying assembly by the guide rail 15, and the conveying assembly rotates forward to convey the cans 7 to the feeding port 11. During recycling, the empty cans 7 are conveyed through the recycling channel 16 and fall into the waste storage bin 17 by the reverse rotation of the conveying assembly.

[0054] In actual application, a limiting member cooperating with the can box 7 is also provided on the guide rail 15 or on the inner wall of the shell 1 to limit the position, so that the can box 7 will not be thrown out from the guide rail 15 when sliding down the guide rail 15, and the can box 7 will fall on the conveying assembly when sliding down the guide rail 15.

[0055] Preferably, a plurality of rollers are provided on the guide rail 15 so that the can 7 can slide down the guide rail 15 more smoothly with less damping force.

[0056] Furthermore, the can 7 includes a flip cover 72 and a box body 73, a first end of the flip cover 72 is hinged to a first end of the box body 73, and a second end of the flip cover 72 is correspondingly locked to a second end of the box body 73 via a locking assembly; the cover opening device includes an unlocking assembly and a driving assembly, and when the conveying assembly conveys the can 7 dropped from the can discharge port 22 to the feeding port 11, the unlocking assembly unlocks the locking assembly, and then the unlocked flip cover 72 is driven by the driving assembly to flip and open relative to the box body 73.

[0057] Further, the locking assembly includes a lock buckle 75 provided on the flip cover 72 and a lock groove 76 provided on the box body 73, and the lock buckle 75 is locked correspondingly to the lock groove 76; the unlocking assembly includes a first unlocking protrusion 13, and the first unlocking protrusion 13 is located on the outside of the feeding port 11. A second unlocking protrusion 75 is provided on the flip cover 72. When the conveying assembly conveys the can 7 dropped from the can discharge port 22 to the feeding port 11, the second unlocking protrusion 75 is pushed upward by the first unlocking protrusion 13, so that the second unlocking protrusion 75 drives the lock buckle 75 to move upward and disengage from the lock groove 76.

[0058] In this way, when the conveying component conveys the can 7 dropped from the can discharge port 22 to the feeding port 11, the conveying force of the conveying component drives the can 7 to move toward the first unlocking protrusion 13, so that the second unlocking protrusion 75 contacts the first unlocking protrusion 13, and under continuous force, the second unlocking protrusion 75 and the first unlocking protrusion 13 are driven to form an extrusion, so that the second unlocking protrusion 75 is pushed up by the first unlocking protrusion 13, and when the second unlocking protrusion 75 moves up, it drives the lock buckle 75 to disengage from the lock groove 76.

[0059] In actual applications, the top of the first unlocking protrusion 13 is an arc surface or a slope, and the bottom of the second unlocking protrusion 75 is an arc surface or a slope, so that after the second unlocking protrusion 75 contacts the first unlocking protrusion 13, the bottom of the second unlocking protrusion 75 slides relative to the top of the first unlocking protrusion 13 under the action of force, and when the bottom of the second unlocking protrusion 75 is located at the top of the first unlocking protrusion 13, the lock buckle 75 disengages from the lock slot 76.

[0060] Furthermore, a first limiting strip 14 is provided on the inner wall of the feeding port 11, and a second limiting strip 74 is provided on the outer wall of the box body 73. When the conveying assembly conveys the cans 7 dropped from the can discharge port 22 to the feeding port 11, the second limiting strip 74 cooperates with the first limiting strip 14 to limit the box body 73.

[0061] With this arrangement, when the conveying assembly conveys the can 7 dropped from the can discharge port 22 to the feeding port 11, the first limit strip 14 and the second limit strip 74 cooperate to form a limit on the longitudinal direction of the box body 73, so that when the flip cover 72 moves upward, the box body 73 will not move upward with it, thereby achieving unlocking.

[0062] In actual application, when the conveying assembly conveys the can 7 into the feeding port 11 , the first limiting bar 14 is located above the second limiting bar 74 , thereby limiting the second limiting bar 74 in the longitudinal direction.

[0063] Furthermore, a trigger assembly 12 is provided in the feeding port 11. When the conveying assembly conveys the can 7 dropped from the can discharge port 22 to the feeding port 11 and is unlocked, the can 7 and the trigger assembly 12 are triggered to enable the driving assembly to work, thereby driving the unlocked flip cover 72 to flip open relative to the box body 73.

[0064] With such arrangement, in the initial state, the driving assembly is away from the can box 7, so that the can box 7 can be easily moved on the conveying assembly. When the can box 7 is unlocked and triggered by the trigger assembly 12, the driving assembly starts to work.

[0065] In actual application, the position of the trigger component 12 is the unlocking position of the can 7. The trigger component 12 can be a sensor or a micro switch. When the trigger component 12 is triggered, the signal is fed back to the controller, and the controller sends a working signal to the driving component.

[0066] Furthermore, a rotating shaft 71 is fixed to the first end of the flip cover 72, and the rotating shaft 71 is hinged to the first end of the box body 73. When the conveying component conveys the can 7 dropped from the can discharge port 22 to the feeding port 11 for unlocking, the driving component is correspondingly connected to the rotating shaft 71, and drives the rotating shaft 71 to drive the unlocked flip cover 72 to flip open relative to the box body 73.

[0067] Further, the driving assembly includes a second motor 5 and a third motor 6. The second motor 5 is fixed in the shell 1. A push rod 51 is fixed to the output end of the second motor 5. The push rod 51 is correspondingly arranged with the third motor 6. The third motor 6 is slidably arranged on the outer wall of the conveying assembly. A rotating rod 61 is fixed to the output end of the third motor 6. The rotating rod 61 is correspondingly connected with the rotating shaft 71. When the conveying assembly conveys the can box 7 dropped from the can box discharge port 22 to the feeding port 11 for unlocking, the second motor 5 drives the push rod 51 to extend and push the third motor 6 close to the can box 7, so that the rotating rod 61 is engaged with the rotating shaft 71, and the third motor 6 drives the rotating rod 61 to drive the rotating shaft 71 to rotate, so that the rotating shaft 71 drives the unlocked flip cover 72 to flip open relative to the box body 73.

[0068] Furthermore, a guide slide bar 82 is fixed on the outer wall of the conveying component, the third motor 6 is slidably connected to the guide slide bar 82, and a return spring 62 is provided between the third motor 6 and the outer wall of the conveying component. When the second motor 5 drives the push rod 51 to retract, the return spring 62 drives the third motor 6 away from the can 7 to disengage the rotating rod 61 from the rotating shaft 71.

[0069] In this way, the third motor 6 is slidably arranged on the guide slide bar 82, so that the third motor 6 moves in a straight line relative to the can box 7 and always remains on the same plane, thereby ensuring that the rotating rod 61 and the rotating shaft 71 are correspondingly positioned. In the initial state, the third motor 6 is away from the transmission component under the elastic force of the reset spring 62. When the second motor 5 drives the third motor 6 to slide toward the transmission component, the reset spring 62 is in a compressed state. When the rotating rod 61 is disengaged from the rotating shaft 71, the transmission component can rotate in the opposite direction to drive the empty can box 7 to be transmitted to the waste storage bin 17.

[0070] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a belt housing 81, a transmission belt 8 and a fourth motor 9. The transmission belt 8 is installed in the belt housing 81, and the fourth motor 9 is installed on the outer wall of the belt housing 81. The fourth motor 9 is used to drive the transmission belt 8 to rotate forward and reversely. The first end of the transmission belt 8 is located below the lower end of the guide rail 15 and is arranged with an upper and lower interval with the guide rail 15. The second end of the transmission belt 8 is located in the feeding port 11.

[0071] In this arrangement, the fourth motor 9 drives the transmission belt 8 to rotate forward and reversely, so that the transmission belt 8 drives the cans 7 to be conveyed into the feeding port 11 or conveyed from the feeding port 11 to the waste storage bin 17 .

[0072] In actual application, the transmission belt 8 and the bottom of the can 7 are provided with cooperating locking teeth, so that when the transmission belt 8 is transmitted to the feeding port 11, a thrust is given to the can 7 to prevent the transmission belt 8 and the can 7 from sliding relative to each other.

[0073] Furthermore, a pressure sensor for detecting whether the can 7 is empty is provided in the feeding port 11. When the pressure sensor detects that the can 7 is empty, the fourth motor 9 drives the transmission belt 8 to rotate in the opposite direction, so as to transfer the empty can 7 from the feeding port 11 through the recovery channel 16 and drop it into the waste storage bin 17.

[0074] In this arrangement, when the pressure sensor detects that the can 7 is not empty, it is in the feeding state. When the pressure sensor detects that the can 7 is empty, the next can 7 needs to be replaced. The pressure sensor feeds back the signal to the controller, and the controller sends a reverse working signal to the fourth motor 9.

[0075] In actual application, when unloading, when the can box 7 falls on the transmission belt 8, the sensor also detects that the can box 7 is fully loaded. The sensor feeds back the signal to the controller, and the controller sends a forward working signal to the fourth motor 9.

[0076] Furthermore, a baffle plate 23 is movably provided in the can discharge port 22 , and a first motor 21 is fixed on the silo 2 . The first motor 21 is used to drive the baffle plate 23 to rotate so as to open or close the can discharge port 22 .

[0077] In this arrangement, the first motor 21 drives the baffle plate 23 to open or close the can box discharge port 22. When closed, the can box 7 is located in the silo 2. When opened, the can box 7 in the silo 2 starts to discharge.

[0078] In actual application, the silo 2 is loaded with a plurality of stacked cans 7. When the first motor 21 drives the baffle plate 23 to move, the plurality of cans 7 move downward synchronously until all cans 7 are emptied.

[0079] It should be noted that the lid opening device of the present invention is also provided with a controller for sending working signals to each component, wherein the controller can be remotely controlled, that is, when the owner is away, the work can still be controlled by remotely setting the program, which is more convenient to use.

[0080] Working principle of the present invention:

[0081] When unloading, the first motor 21 receives a signal, and the first motor 21 drives the baffle plate 23 to open the can unloading port 22, so that the cans 7 located at the bottom layer of the silo 2 can be unloaded onto the guide rail 15. Figure 7 As shown in position a, due to the inclined setting of the guide rail 15, the can 7 slides down from position a to the drive belt 8, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 At position b shown in the figure, the fourth motor 9 receives the signal and drives the transmission belt 8 to rotate forward to drive the can 7 from the position Figure 7 The position b shown is transmitted to Figure 7 As shown in position c, the can 7 is pushed by the driving belt 8, and the can 7 moves to the unlocking position, that is, Fig.11 In the d position shown, under the action of the first unlocking protrusion 13, the second unlocking protrusion 75 drives the second end of the flip cover 72 to move upward, so that the lock buckle 75 disengages from the lock groove 76, completes the unlocking, and triggers the trigger assembly 12 at the same time.
