Specific embodiments
[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0031] Embodiment 1: As Figure 1As shown in the figure, a combined pet feeder and water dispenser includes: a feeder 1, a water dispenser 2, and a controller; the feeder 1 is electrically connected and / or detachably physically connected to the water dispenser 2; the feeder 1 includes: a driving device 4, a food distributor 5, and a remaining food quantity detection device, the driving device 4 is connected to the food distributor 5, and the food distributor 5 and the remaining food quantity detection device are arranged in the grain storage area of the feeder 1; the water dispenser 2 includes: a water pump 21, a filtering component 22, and a water level detection device, the water pump 21 and the water level detection device are arranged in the water storage area of the water dispenser 2, and the filtering component 22 is arranged on the water flow path between the water storage area and the water receiving area; when the remaining food quantity detection device monitors that the remaining food quantity is insufficient, it transmits information to the controller, and the controller controls the reminder to send a food replenishment reminder message; when the controller receives a feeding message, the controller transmits a signal to the driving device 4, and the driving device 4 drives the food distributor 5 to perform food distribution and feeding operations; when the water level monitoring device detects that the water level in the water storage area is less than the threshold value, it transmits information to the controller, and the controller controls the reminder to send a water replenishment reminder message.
[0032] In the specific implementation process, the remaining food quantity detection device can adopt a gravity sensor or a ranging sensor, etc. The gravity sensor can detect the remaining amount by measuring the weight of the food, and the ranging sensor can detect the distance between the upper surface of the food and the cover 13, and this distance can represent the remaining amount. The water level monitoring device can adopt a water level gauge. The controller can adopt a single-chip microcomputer. A control panel 3 can be set on the front of the feeder 1, and the states of the feeder 1 and the water dispenser 2 can be controlled through the control panel 3.
[0033] A button for opening the lid can be set on the top of the feeder 1. Grooves for installing moisture-proof gaskets are also provided around the lid, and a desiccant box for installing desiccants can also be set at the bottom of the lid.
[0034] A base 117 can be set at the bottom of the feeder 1, and there are limit grooves and holes on the upper surface of the base 117. There is a fixing button on the outer side of each groove of the base 117. Corresponding fixing supports can be set at the bottom of the grain storage bucket 11. The fixing supports are inserted into the limit grooves and holes, and the splitting and fixing of the base 117 and the storage bucket can be realized by operating the fixing buttons on the side of the switch.
[0035] Anti-slip rubber pads can be installed on the bases 117 of the feeder 1 and the water dispenser 2.
[0036] The feeder 1 and the water dispenser 2 are fixedly connected through male and female seats of electrical and structural connection ports respectively. The electrical and structural connection ports can be disassembled and assembled at any time for power supply, monitoring, and feedback of the water pump 21 and sensors of the water dispenser 2.
[0037] The reminder can adopt an acoustic alarm device or an optical alarm device. For example, when it is detected that the remaining food or water is insufficient, a reminder is given through a flash lamp, a color change of the lamp, a horn, etc. The reminder for insufficient remaining food and water can share one reminder or use independent reminders. The control and detection of the water dispenser 2 can transmit data through the electrical interface between the feeder 1 and the water dispenser 2 to the central processor of the feeder 1 via a data cable.
[0038] A transparent long strip viewing window can be set on the front of the water storage area in the water dispenser 2 to facilitate observing the working condition of the water pump 21 and the water level.
[0039] The pet feeding and drinking integrated machine provided by the present invention can conveniently disassemble and assemble the feeder 1 and the water dispenser 2 parts, enabling the device to integrate the functions of feeding and watering; combined together, the weight of the device during the use by pets increases, which can prevent pets from messing up or knocking down the device to a certain extent; the pet feeding and drinking integrated machine designs the electronic parts of the feeder 1 and the water dispenser 2 into one and configures them through a terminal at one time. The centralized operation method greatly reduces the operation difficulty of users, is convenient for users, and reduces the production cost at the same time; the electronic components, detection devices, drive devices 4, etc. in the device can be configured through the IOT Internet of Things, enabling the device to timely send the status information of the device to the customer and organize the uploaded data into an analysis report, which is convenient for the customer to understand the status of the pet and the device; the pet feeding and drinking integrated machine greatly facilitates people on short business trips or away from home, without having to worry about pets starving or being thirsty at home, nor having to specifically find someone to come to feed them; since the water dispenser 2 in the pet feeding and drinking integrated machine can be disassembled and placed in the grain storage barrel 11 of the feeder 1, it greatly reduces the packaging volume and transportation cost. At the same time, users can separately purchase the feeder 1 or the water dispenser 2 according to their needs.
[0040] Embodiment 2: As Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, the food divider 5 includes: a rotating paddle 51 and a discharge chute 52. The rotating paddle 51 is connected to the output shaft of the drive device 4. The gap between adjacent blades on the rotating paddle 51 is a single feeding area 511, and the sizes of several single feeding areas 511 are the same; the inlet end of the discharge chute 52 is located below the single feeding area 511; when the controller controls the drive device 4 to rotate the rotating paddle 51, in any stopped position state of the rotating paddle 51, the inlet end of the discharge chute 52 is aligned with the outlet end of any single feeding area 511.
[0041] During the specific implementation process, the driving device 4 can adopt a rotating motor. The rotating paddle 51 is placed in the grain. By rotating the rotating paddle 51, the grain between the blades can be scooped to the inlet end of the discharge chute 52, so that the grain slides out of the discharge chute 52 and falls into the food bowl 12. The blades of the rotating paddle 51 are evenly distributed around the paddle shaft, so that the capacity of the grain in each single feeding area 511 is the same, and thus the amount of grain fed each time can be controlled. The discharge chute 52 can be Figure 2 as shown, inclined.
[0042] Embodiment 3: As Figure 2-3 shown, in this embodiment, the food divider 5 further includes: a first gear 53, a second gear 54 and a stirring paddle 55. The first gear 53 is connected to the output shaft of the driving device 4. The rotating paddle 51 is provided with a tooth hole that cooperates with the first gear 53, and the first gear 53 is sleeved inside the rotating paddle 51; the second gear 54 is located on the side of the first gear 53 away from the discharge chute 52, and the second gear 54 is sleeved inside the tooth hole; the stirring paddle 55 is located on the side of the second gear 54 away from the first gear 53, and the stirring paddle 55 is coaxially connected to the second gear 54.
[0043] During the specific implementation process, the first gear 53 and the second gear 54 can share a tooth hole, or as Figure 3 shown, each uses an independent tooth hole to ensure the stability of the state of the stirring paddle 55. The number of blades of the stirring paddle 55 can be less than that of the rotating paddle 51. The blades of the stirring paddle 55 can be inclined longitudinally. After the stirring paddle 55 is arranged above the rotating paddle 51, the weight of the grain in each single feeding area 511 can be made more consistent by rotating the stirring paddle 55.
[0044] Embodiment 4: As Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, the feeder 1 includes: a grain storage barrel 11 and a food bowl 12. The side wall of the grain storage barrel 11 is provided with an opening, and the outlet end of the discharge chute 52 is placed in the opening, and a grain storage area is formed inside the grain storage barrel 11; the food bowl 12 is located below the opening.
[0045] During the specific implementation process, the grain storage barrel 11 can include a base 117 and a barrel part. The barrel part and the base 117 can adopt a detachable plug-in structure. A through hole can be provided above the base 117 to communicate with the barrel part and facilitate the grain in the barrel part to fall into the base 117. The food divider 5 and the driving device 4 can be arranged inside the base 117. The opening can also be arranged on the side wall of the base 117.
[0046] Embodiment 5: As Figure 4As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a limiting block 121 is provided on the side wall of the food bowl 12, and the length of the limiting block 121 at the end far from the basin is greater than the length of the limiting block 121 at the end close to the basin; a limiting groove 111 cooperating with the limiting block 121 is provided on the bottom wall of the grain storage barrel 11, and the notch of the limiting groove 111 faces downward; the water dispenser 2 is connected to the grain storage barrel 11 through a clamping assembly 6, and the water dispenser 2 and the grain storage barrel 11 are clamped in the horizontal direction.
[0047] In the specific implementation process, the core improvement point of this embodiment lies in the linkage of the connection methods between the food bowl 12 and the water dispenser 2 and the feeder 1.
[0048] Since the water dispenser 2 and the feeder 1 are integrated in this embodiment, it is necessary to consider the stability of the other container when the water dispenser 2 or the food bowl 12 is disassembled or assembled separately. The container refers to the water dispenser 2, the food bowl 12, etc. The food bowl 12 is used to hold food, and the water dispenser 2 is used to hold drinking water.
[0049] The common connection method between the food bowl 12 and the feeder 1 is that the food bowl 12 is inserted or clamped to the side wall of the feeder 1. When facing the front of the feeder 1, the operation of taking or placing the food bowl 12 is to move back and forth, that is, the food bowl 121 has a separate degree of freedom of moving back and forth under the action of a certain force. However, when the feeder 1 and the water dispenser 2 are integrated, the separate degree of freedom of moving back and forth of the feeder 1 may affect the connection stability between the feeder 1 and the water dispenser 2. Therefore, the connection method between the food bowl 12 and the feeder 1 is improved in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the limiting block 121 with a specific structure on the food bowl 12 cooperates with the limiting groove 111 on the feeder 1, so that the food bowl 12 no longer has a separate degree of freedom of moving back and forth in the assembled state, and it can only move together with the feeder 1. With the weight cooperation of the feeder 1, the food, the water dispenser 2, etc., the whole device is difficult to move under the action of the pet. For example, when a cat paws at the food in the food bowl 12 with its paw, the food bowl 12 has a certain positional stability under the force. In this embodiment, the clamping operation between the food bowl 12 and the feeder 1 is a longitudinal docking, and it is only necessary to align the limiting block 121 with the limiting groove 111.
[0050] If the connection mode between the water dispenser 2 and the feeder 1 refers to the food bowl 12, then when the food bowl 12 is taken, the water dispenser 2 will also be separated from the feeder 1, making the subsequent operations more cumbersome. In addition, in most cases, the cleaning frequency of the food bowl 12 is higher than that of the water dispenser 2, so it often happens that the food bowl 12 is taken off separately. To adapt to the foregoing situation, in order to ensure that when the food bowl 12 is taken, the connection between the water dispenser 2 and the feeder 1 is not affected in the case where the feeder 1 and the water dispenser 2 are integrated, in this embodiment, the connection mode between the water dispenser 2 and the feeder 1 is separated from that of the food bowl 12. The separation direction between the food bowl 12 and the feeder 1 is longitudinal, while the separation direction between the water dispenser 2 and the feeder 1 is horizontal. Thus, when the food bowl 12 is taken, the water dispenser 2 and the feeder 1 move up together, and the food bowl 12 is separated from the feeder 1.
[0051] Embodiment 6: As Figure 5-8As shown, in this embodiment, the side wall of the grain storage barrel 11 is provided with a first clamping interface 112, a second clamping interface 113 and a third clamping interface 115. The first clamping interface 112 and the second clamping interface 113 are oppositely arranged in the longitudinal direction. The clamping component 6 includes: a first clamping member 61, a second clamping member 62 and a third clamping member 63. The first clamping member 61 includes: a connecting portion 611 and a clamping portion 612. One end of the connecting portion 611 is connected to the side wall of the water dispenser 22. The clamping portion 612 is connected to the other end of the connecting portion 611. The free end of the clamping portion 612 extends in the horizontal direction. The gap between the clamping portion 612 and the water dispenser 22 is used to accommodate the peripheral wall of the first clamping interface 112. The second clamping member 62 is clamped with the peripheral wall of the second clamping interface 113. The first clamping member 61 is located above the second clamping member 62. A first baffle 613 is provided on the side of the first clamping member 61 away from the second clamping member 62. A second baffle is provided on the side of the second clamping member 62 away from the first clamping member 61. Limiting plates 114 are provided on the lower side wall of the first clamping interface 112 and the upper side wall of the second clamping interface 113. The limiting plates 114 are accommodated in the gap between the water dispenser 22 and the clamping portion 612. The third clamping interface 115 includes a socket 1151 and a strip-shaped opening 1152 that communicate horizontally. The span of the socket 1151 in the longitudinal direction is greater than that of the strip-shaped opening 1152. The clamping component 6 further includes: a third clamping member 63. The third clamping member 63 includes: a connecting rod 631 and a stopper 632. One end of the connecting rod 631 is connected to the side wall of the water dispenser 22. The stopper 632 is connected to the other end of the connecting rod 631. The span of the stopper 632 in the longitudinal direction is between the strip-shaped opening 1152 and the socket 1151. A clamping groove 6311 is provided on the connecting rod 631. A clamping plate 7 that cooperates with the clamping groove 6311 is provided on the side wall of the strip-shaped opening 1152. A relief opening 116 is further provided on the side wall of the grain storage barrel 11. The relief opening 116 is located beside the side of the strip-shaped opening 1152 where the clamping plate 7 is located.
[0052] During the specific implementation process, the peripheral wall of the first clamping interface 112 refers to the side wall of the feeder 1 at the first clamping interface 112. As shown in Figure 1 The food bowl 12 is arranged on the front of the feeder 1. The water dispenser 2 is arranged on the left or right side of the feeder 1. When connecting the water dispenser 2 and the feeder 1, pass the clamping portion 612 of the first clamping member 61 through the first clamping interface 112, and then horizontally move the water dispenser 2 so that the side wall of the feeder 1 is clamped between the connecting portion 611 and the side wall of the water dispenser 2.
[0053] As shown in Figure 5As shown, the first card interface 112 and the second card interface 113 are arranged opposite to each other. The structures of the second card connector 62 and the first card connector 61 can be the same. By restricting the two card connectors and the card interfaces, the connection stability between the water dispenser 2 and the feeder 1 can be improved, and the force on the card connectors can be reduced. In this embodiment, through the settings of the first baffle 613 and the second baffle, the first card connector 61 restricts the upward movement of the feeder 1 and separates it from the water dispenser 2; the second card connector 62 restricts the downward movement of the feeder 1 and separates it from the water dispenser 2. The first baffle 613 can bear the gravity of the water dispenser 2 to a certain extent, and the second baffle can bear the gravity of the feeder 1 to a certain extent. As Figure 5 As shown, the presence of the limiting plate 114 makes the overall shape of the first card interface 112 and the second card interface 113 be L-shaped, so that the card connection part 612 can be inserted into the card interface from the wider card interface, and then horizontally moved to overlap with the limiting plate 114.
[0054] It can be referred to Figure 4 As shown, the third card interface 115 and the first card interface 112, the second card interface 113 are distributed in a triangle. The stop block 632 can be Figure 8 As shown to be circular, and the socket 1151 can also be Figure 6 As shown to be circular. When connecting the water dispenser 2 and the feeder 1, insert the stop block 632 into the socket 1151, and then horizontally move the water dispenser 2 or the feeder 1 so that the connecting rod 631 enters the strip-shaped opening 1152. Through the cooperation between the strip-shaped opening 1152 and the connecting rod 631, the up and down limit between the water dispenser 2 and the feeder 1 can be realized. In addition, another purpose of making the structure of the third card connector 63 different from the other two card connectors is to prevent misconnection, making it easier for the water dispenser 2 and the feeder 1 to be connected successfully at one time. The span of the stop block 632 in the longitudinal direction refers to the vertical distance between the topmost and bottommost ends of the stop block 632. The cooperation between the stop block 632 and the side wall of the grain storage at the strip-shaped opening 1152 makes it difficult for the water dispenser 2 and the feeder 1 to be separated by left and right movement. The judgment of left and right can be referred to Figure 1 The front view of the feeder 1 in
[0055] The cross-section of the card slot 6311 can be arc-shaped, and the card plate 7 can be bow-shaped or semi-circular.
