[0048] In order to make the technical problems solved by the utility model, the technical solutions adopted and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. Among them, the terms "first position" and "second position" are two different positions.

[0050] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a pet wet food dispensing assembly, which can realize quantitative feeding of pet wet food, ensure the freshness of pet wet food, ensure the health of pets, and improve the user experience of the pet feeder. The pet wet food dispensing assembly includes a food storage bucket 1 and a food dispensing component 2.

[0052] Among them, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The food storage barrel 1 is used to store pet wet food. The food discharging component 2 is at least partially made of elastic material. The food discharging component 2 is provided with a food discharging cavity 23 in the elastic material portion. The food discharging cavity 23 has a food inlet 221 (such as Figure 8 As shown) and the first grain outlet 2111 (as shown Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the grain inlet 221 is selectively connected to the grain storage barrel 1, and the first grain outlet 2111 is selectively connected to the outside. The elastic material part of the grain outlet component 2 can produce elastic deformation under the action of external force to squeeze the pet wet food in the grain outlet cavity 23 and output it through the first grain outlet 2111; during the process of the elastic material part of the grain outlet component 2 recovering the elastic deformation, the grain inlet 221 can be connected to the grain storage barrel 1 under the action of the pressure change in the grain outlet cavity 23, so that the pet wet food in the grain storage barrel 1 passes into the grain outlet cavity 23 through the grain inlet 221.

[0053] The pet wet food discharging assembly provided in this embodiment has the first food outlet 2111 and the food inlet 221 both closed in the initial state. When an external force is applied to the elastic material portion of the food discharging component 2, the pet wet food (or gas) in the food discharging cavity 23 is pressurized, thereby opening the first food outlet 2111, and the pet wet food is output through the first food outlet 2111 (for example, falls into the food tray of the pet feeder) for the pet to eat. During this period, the pressurized volume of the food discharging cavity 23 decreases. When the external force acting on the food discharging component 2 disappears, the elastic material portion of the food discharging barrel 21 recovers its elastic deformation. During this process, the volume of the food discharging cavity 23 gradually increases, causing the pressure inside it to decrease relative to the external space. Under the action of the pressure difference, the food inlet 221 is opened, thereby allowing the pet wet food in the food storage barrel 1 to enter the food discharging cavity 23, so that a certain amount of pet wet food is temporarily stored in the food discharging cavity 23 again. By controlling the number of repetitions of the above working process, the output of the pet wet food can be controlled, so as to achieve quantitative feeding of the pet, avoid overfeeding or underfeeding of the pet wet food, and improve the user experience of the pet feeder. After the elastic material part of the food output component 2 is restored to its original state, the food inlet 221 and the first food outlet 2111 are closed again, thereby preventing the pet wet food from contacting the external air, ensuring the freshness of the pet wet food, and improving the food safety of the pet.

[0054] Optionally, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The grain discharging component 2 includes a grain discharging cylinder 21 and a grain discharging cover 22. The grain discharging cylinder 21 is made of elastic material and has a grain discharging cavity 23 formed therein. The grain discharging cover 22 is provided at the first end of the grain discharging cylinder 21. The grain discharging nozzle 211 is provided at the second end of the grain discharging cylinder 21. The grain discharging nozzle 211 has a first grain discharging port 2111. The grain discharging cover 22 is provided with a grain inlet 221. In this embodiment, referring to Figure 2 The grain discharging part 2 is arranged in a split type for easy disassembly and assembly, and the grain discharging cylinder 21 and the grain discharging cover 22 can be cleaned or replaced.

[0055] Furthermore, the grain discharging cover 22 is also made of elastic material, and the grain discharging cover 22 can be pressed against the upper end of the grain discharging tube 21 to make the grain discharging cover 22 in sealing contact with the grain discharging tube 21, thereby ensuring the sealing of the grain discharging cavity 23. For example, the elastic material is rubber.

[0056] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 7The grain outlet 211 is provided with a first elastic membrane 2112 at the first grain outlet 2111, and a first cutout 21121 that selectively conducts to the outside is provided on the first elastic membrane 2112. When the grain outlet tube 21 is deformed under the action of an external force, the pressure of the pet wet food (or gas) in the grain outlet cavity 23 increases, thereby squeezing the first elastic membrane 2112 to deform and cause the first cutout 21121 to be stretched open, and the first grain outlet 2111 is conducted, so that the pet wet food in the grain outlet cavity 23 can be squeezed out through the first cutout 21121. In this embodiment, the first elastic membrane 2112 is integrally formed with the grain outlet 211, the first cutout 21121 is a straight cutout, and the first elastic membrane 2112 has a certain thickness. When the force on the first elastic membrane 2112 is large enough, the first cutout 21121 can conduct to the outside, thereby ensuring the sealing of the grain outlet cavity 23.

[0057] See also Figure 1 and Figure 8 The grain discharging cover 22 is provided with a second elastic membrane 222 at the grain inlet 221, and the second elastic membrane 222 is provided with a second cutout 2221 that selectively unidirectionally conducts to the inside of the grain discharging barrel 21. During the process of the grain discharging barrel 21 recovering its elastic deformation, the pressure inside the grain discharging cavity 23 becomes smaller than that outside, so that the second elastic membrane 222 is deformed under the action of the pressure difference to open the second cutout 2221, and the grain inlet 221 is conducted, and the pet wet food in the grain storage barrel 1 is sucked into the grain discharging cavity 23 through the second cutout 2221. In this embodiment, the second elastic membrane 222 is integrally formed with the grain discharging cover 22, the second cutout 2221 is a cross cutout, and the second elastic membrane 222 has a certain thickness (such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, only when the force exerted on the second elastic membrane 222 is large enough can the second incision 2221 be opened to allow the grain storage barrel 1 to communicate with the grain outlet cavity 23.

[0058] Further, see Figure 8 , and combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second elastic membrane 222 is convex toward the inside of the grain discharging cavity 23. Such a configuration enables the second cutout 2221 to only unidirectionally conduct to the grain discharging cavity 23 during the process of the grain discharging cylinder 21 recovering its elastic deformation, while the second cutout 2221 is not conducting during the process of the grain discharging cylinder 21 being deformed by external force.

[0059] Optionally, see Figure 1 The pet wet food dispensing assembly further includes a mounting member 3, and the pet feeder includes a bearing base 100, and a mounting hole 101 is provided on the bearing base 100, and a grain dispensing cylinder 21 and a grain dispensing cover 22 are detachably mounted on the mounting hole 101 through the mounting member 3. The setting of the mounting member 3 realizes the detachable installation of the grain dispensing cylinder 21 and the grain dispensing cover 22, which is convenient for later cleaning or replacement and can reduce maintenance costs.

[0060] Optionally, see Figure 6 and Figure 8 The mounting member 3 includes a limiting seat 31 and a connecting tube 32 arranged on the limiting seat 31. The limiting seat 31 is detachably connected to the hole wall of the mounting hole 101. The limiting seat 31 can limit the grain discharging barrel 21 and the grain discharging cover 22 to the mounting hole 101, and seal and press the grain discharging cover 22 to the first end of the grain discharging barrel 21. The setting of the limiting seat 31 can make the grain discharging cover 22 and the grain discharging barrel 21 seal and cooperate, ensuring the airtightness of the grain discharging cavity 23. At the same time, the limiting seat 31 can ensure that the grain discharging barrel 21 and the grain discharging cover 22 are securely installed in the mounting hole 101. Figure 2 The grain storage barrel 1 is provided with a second grain outlet 11, one end of the connecting tube 32 is connected to the second grain outlet 11, and the other end of the connecting tube 32 passes through the limit seat 31 and is selectively connected to the grain inlet 221. In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 A accommodating cavity 102 is provided on the supporting base 100 of the pet feeder, the grain storage barrel 1 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 102, and the second grain outlet 11 is plugged into the connecting tube 32, so that the grain storage barrel 1 can be detachably installed, which is convenient for replacing or cleaning the grain storage barrel 1.

[0061] Optionally, see Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The limiting seat 31 includes a limiting plate 311 and a limiting cylinder 312. The limiting cylinder 312 and the connecting cylinder 32 are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the limiting plate 311, and the limiting cylinder 312 and the connecting cylinder 32 are connected. The first end of the grain discharge cylinder 21 is provided with a flange 212 along the circumferential direction, and a step surface 1011 (such as Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , the bottom surface of the flange 212 is placed on the step surface 1011, the limiting cylinder 312 is sleeved outside the flange 212, and the limiting plate 311 can press the grain outlet cover 22 against the top surface of the flange 212. A positioning column 313 is provided on the limiting plate 311 on the inner side of the limiting cylinder 312, a first positioning hole 223 is provided on the grain outlet cover 22, and a second positioning hole 2121 corresponding to the first positioning hole 223 is provided on the flange 212, and the positioning column 313 is inserted into the first positioning hole 223 and the second positioning hole 2121 opposite to each other.

[0062] During specific installation, the grain discharging barrel 21 is first placed in the installation hole 101, so that the bottom surface of the flange 212 is placed on the step surface 1011, and then the grain discharging cover 22 is placed on the top surface of the flange 212, and the first positioning hole 223 is aligned with the second positioning hole 2121. Then, the limiting cylinder 312 is aligned with the flange 212, and the positioning column 313 is aligned with the first positioning hole 223 and the second positioning hole 2121, and the limiting plate 311 is pressed down so that the limiting cylinder 312 is sleeved outside the flange 212, and the positioning column 313 is inserted into the first positioning hole 223 and the second positioning hole 2121, until the limiting plate 311 presses the grain discharging cover 22 against the top surface of the flange 212, ensuring that the grain discharging cover 22 is in sealing contact with the top surface of the flange 212. The cooperation between the positioning column 313 and the first positioning hole 223 and the second positioning hole 2121 can prevent the grain discharging cover 22 from shifting relative to the flange 212 , thereby ensuring that the grain discharging cover 22 is reliably connected to the grain discharging barrel 21 .

[0063] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8 A plurality of positioning posts 313 are arranged on the limiting plate 311 at intervals along the circumferential direction. Correspondingly, a plurality of first positioning holes 223 are arranged on the grain outlet cover 22, and a plurality of second positioning holes 2121 are arranged on the flange 212. The plurality of positioning posts 313 are inserted into the plurality of corresponding first positioning holes 223 and second positioning holes 2121 one by one, thereby improving the reliability of the sealing connection between the grain outlet cover 22 and the grain outlet barrel 21.

[0064] Further, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The outer circumferential surface of the flange 212 is provided with a stop edge 213. When the limiting cylinder 312 and the flange 212 are inserted into place, the end of the limiting cylinder 312 away from the limiting plate 311 abuts against the stop edge 213, further improving the insertion stability of the limiting cylinder 312 and the flange 212.

[0065] Optionally, a first clamping structure is provided on the limit seat 31, and a second clamping structure is provided on the hole wall of the mounting hole 101, and the first clamping structure is clamped with the second clamping structure. The first clamping structure cooperates with the second clamping structure to realize a detachable connection between the limit seat 31 and the mounting hole 101, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0066] Specifically in this embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The first clamping structure includes a plurality of limit slots 3121 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction on the outer circumferential surface of the limit seat 31, and the second clamping structure includes a plurality of clamping protrusions 1012 arranged on the hole wall of the mounting hole 101. The plurality of clamping protrusions 1012 can slide into or out of the plurality of limit slots 3121 in a one-to-one corresponding manner in the circumferential direction. When installing the limit seat 31, it is only necessary to align the clamping protrusion 1021 with the entrance of the limit slot 3121, and then rotate the limit seat 31 to make the clamping protrusion 1012 clamp into the limit slot 3121. When disassembling, it is only necessary to rotate the limit seat 31 in the opposite direction until the clamping protrusion 1012 is out of the limit slot 3121, which is simple and labor-saving.

[0067] For example, see Figure 6 and Figure 8 The limiting cylinder 312 of the limiting seat 31 is provided with an L-shaped protrusion 3122, the diameter of the limiting plate 311 is larger than the diameter of the limiting cylinder 312, and the above-mentioned limiting groove 3121 is formed between the L-shaped protrusion 3122 and the limiting plate 311. In other embodiments, the above-mentioned limiting groove 3121 can also be formed by directly forming a recess on the limiting cylinder 312.

[0068] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 5 A plurality of screwing parts 3111 are arranged on the limit plate 311 at the periphery of the connecting tube 32 , and the screwing parts 3111 are configured to rotate the limit seat 31 . When disassembling and assembling the limit seat 31 , the screwing parts 3111 are grasped and rotated to apply force, which makes the operation more labor-saving.

[0069] In another optional implementation scheme, the first clamping structure may also be an elastic hook arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the limiting cylinder 312 of the limiting seat 31, and the second clamping structure may be a clamping groove arranged on the hole wall of the mounting hole 101. The limiting cylinder 312 is inserted downward into the mounting hole 101 so that the elastic hook is clamped into the clamping groove, thereby realizing the detachable installation of the limiting seat 31.

[0070] Optionally, see Figure 3 The pet wet food discharging assembly further includes an extrusion structure 4 disposed below the food discharging component 2, and the extrusion structure 4 is configured to apply an external force to the food discharging component 2 so as to cause elastic deformation of the elastic material portion of the food discharging component 2. In this embodiment, the extrusion structure 4 includes a lifting plate 41 and a lifting drive member 42, the lifting plate 41 is located below the food discharging cylinder 21, and the output end of the lifting drive member 41 is transmission-connected to the lifting plate 41, and is used to drive the lifting plate 41 to move up and down, so as to apply force to the food discharging cylinder 21 upward or cancel the force on the food discharging cylinder 21 downward, so as to realize quantitative output of pet wet food by the food discharging nozzle 211.

[0071] Exemplarily, the lifting drive member 42 is a rotary motor, which is rotatably connected to the lifting plate 41 through an eccentric wheel, and the eccentric movement of the eccentric wheel can be converted into the lifting movement of the lifting plate 41. A circular hole is opened in the middle of the lifting plate 41, and a step structure is formed at the connection between the grain discharge barrel 21 and the grain discharge nozzle 211. The grain discharge nozzle 211 is inserted into the circular hole, and the step structure is engaged with the edge of the circular hole. When the lifting plate 41 rises, the grain discharge barrel 21 can be compressed upward to squeeze the pet wet food out of the grain discharge nozzle 211.

[0072] In other embodiments, the lifting drive member 42 may also be a linear drive mechanism such as an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, a lead screw nut, etc.

Furthermore, the pet feeder also comprises a base with a food tray, and the bearing base 100 is fixed on the base, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the supporting base 100 has an opening to expose the food spout 211, and the bottom of the opening is a food tray. The wet pet food squeezed out from the food spout 211 falls into the food tray for the pet to eat.

[0074] The pet feeder using the pet wet food dispensing assembly can control the output of the pet wet food by controlling the number of squeezing times of the food dispensing component 2, thereby achieving quantitative feeding of the pet, avoiding overfeeding or underfeeding of the pet wet food, and improving the user experience of the pet feeder. After the elastic material part of the food dispensing component 2 is restored to its original state, the food inlet 221 and the first food outlet 2111 are closed again, thereby preventing the pet wet food from contacting the external air, ensuring the freshness of the pet wet food, and improving the food safety of the pet.

[0075] Furthermore, the pet feeder has a control module, which integrates one or more pet feeding modes. The lifting drive member 42 is communicatively connected to the control module. When the user selects a corresponding pet feeding mode, the control module controls the lifting drive member 42 to operate according to the corresponding pet feeding mode, thereby realizing intelligent and automatic control of the pet feeder and further improving the user experience.
