Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pet supplies, and more particularly to a pet feeder that automatically replenishes water and food. Background Technology

[0002] As people's leisure time becomes richer, pet ownership has become a hobby for some. However, when owners are away, there are situations where pets are left unattended. Currently, the common solution is boarding, which is ideal for longer absences. For owners who are away for short periods, boarding is too expensive, but if they don't board, the issue of feeding their pets becomes a concern.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, pet feeders have emerged. Existing pet feeders include a food storage bin and a feeding tray located below the bin, with a dispensing port at the bottom of the bin.

[0004] However, the above method makes it inconvenient to clean up any remaining impurities in the feeding dish, which will reduce the feeding effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic water and food replenishment pet feeder, which aims to avoid the impact of food and water residue on pet feeding, enabling continuous operation and improving feeding quality.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an automatic pet feeder for water and food replenishment, comprising a support assembly, a feeding assembly, a water feeding assembly, and a cleaning assembly. The support assembly includes a base, a support frame, and a container. The support frame is fixedly connected to the base and located on one side of the base. The container has a water chamber and a food chamber, and is fixedly connected to the base and located on one side of the base. The feeding assembly includes a food container, a feeder, a baffle, and a support spring. The food container is fixedly connected to the support frame and located on one side of the support frame. The feeder is disposed on one side of the food container. The baffle is slidably connected to the food container and located inside the food container. A support spring is located on one side of the baffle. The outlet of the food container is close to the food cavity. The water feeding assembly includes a water tank, a pressure pump, a pressure valve, and a water outlet pipe. The water tank is located on one side of the food container. The pressure pump is connected to the water tank. The pressure valve is located on one side of the water tank. The water outlet pipe is connected to the pressure pump and is close to the water cavity. The cleaning assembly includes a slide rail, a mover, a lifter, a nozzle, and a cleaning brush. The slide rail is fixedly connected to the support frame and is located on the top of the container. The mover is slidably mounted on the slide rail. The lifter is mounted on the mover. The nozzle is mounted on the lifter. The cleaning brush is located on one side of the nozzle.

[0007] The feeder includes a discharge screw, a drive motor, and a first pusher block. The discharge screw is rotatably connected to the food can and located inside the food can. The output end of the drive motor is connected to the discharge screw. The first pusher block is fixed to the bottom of the discharge screw. A second pusher block matching the first pusher block is provided on the baffle plate.

[0008] The feeding assembly also includes a feeding plate, which is disposed at the outlet of the food container.

[0009] The feeding plate includes a plate body, an extension plate, and a driving cylinder. The extension plate is slidably connected to the plate body and is located at the bottom of the plate body. The output end of the driving cylinder is connected to the extension plate.

[0010] The container includes a box body and a rotating partition, which is rotatably connected to the box body and located between the water cavity and the food cavity.

[0011] The water-filled cavity is at a lower level than the food-filled cavity.

[0012] The container also includes a sealing strip, which is disposed on one side of the rotating partition.

[0013] The automatic water and food replenishment pet feeder also includes a control component, which includes a camera, a recognition unit, and a control unit. The camera is used to take photos of the container at preset intervals. The recognition unit is used to obtain water level and food status based on artificial intelligence technology and photos. The control unit is used to control the water and food supply based on the water level and food status.

[0014] This invention discloses an automatic water and food replenishment pet feeder. A base supports a support frame, and a container is mounted on the base, allowing water and food to be replenished into the water and food chambers respectively. In use, the food container is filled with food, and the water container is filled with water. Activating the feeder pushes open the baffle below the food container, allowing food to enter the food chamber through the container's outlet. Then, activating the pressure pump causes the pressure in the water container to exceed the preset value of the pressure valve, sending water from the pressure valve into the water chamber. After a period of operation, sediment in the water chamber and food impurities in the food chamber may deteriorate, affecting the pet's eating. At this point, activating the lifting device moves the cleaning brush downwards, and the moving device moves the nozzle and cleaning brush along the container to clean it. This prevents food and water residue from affecting pet feeding, allowing for continuous operation and improving feeding quality. Attached Figure Description

Figure 6 This is a cross-sectional view of a pet feeder with automatic water and food replenishment according to the second embodiment of the present invention, along the food container. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 A magnified view of detail A. Figure 8 This is a cross-sectional view of the water tank of an automatic water and food replenishment pet feeder according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] Based on the first embodiment, the present invention also provides an automatic water and food replenishment pet feeder. The feeder 109 includes a discharge screw 201, a drive motor 202, and a first pusher block 203. The discharge screw 201 is rotatably connected to the food container 108 and is located inside the food container 108. The output end of the drive motor is connected to the discharge screw 201. The first pusher block is fixed to the bottom of the discharge screw 201, and a second pusher block matching the first pusher block is provided on the baffle. Activating the drive motor can drive the discharge screw 201 to rotate, thus pushing the food downwards. At this time, the first pusher block and the second pusher block can cooperate to push the baffle open, allowing the food to flow out through the gap created by the movement of the baffle. After the first pusher block disengages from the second pusher block, the baffle closes again under the support of the support spring, thereby allowing for periodic movement and stable feeding.

[0035] The feeding assembly 102 also includes a feeding plate 204, which is disposed at the outlet of the food container 108. To prevent food from piling up in the same place under the influence of gravity each time it is fed, this application provides a feeding plate 204 that can be moved to feed the food, allowing the food to be spread evenly in the food cavity.

[0036] Specifically, the feeding plate 204 includes a plate body 205, an extension plate 206, and a driving cylinder 207. The extension plate 206 is slidably connected to the plate body 205 and is located at the bottom of the plate body 205.
