[0052] In one embodiment, Figure 1-4 As shown, the utility model provides a feeding assembly, including a storage box 100, a conveying device 200, a feeding pipe, a driving structure, an adjusting structure and a fan 400.

[0053] The material storage box 100 has a material storage cavity and a material discharge port connected to the material storage cavity. Specifically, the material storage box 100 is fixedly mounted on the robot body. Preferably, a stirring device 900 is provided in the material storage box 100. The feed port of the conveying device 200 is connected to the material discharge port of the material storage box 100. Specifically, the conveying device 200 is a screw conveyor, the conveying device 200 is fixedly mounted on the robot body, and the conveying device 200 is arranged below the material storage box 100.

Specifically, the connecting pipe 320 is a flexible pipe such as a hose or a bellows. The feed end of the connecting pipe 320 is connected to the discharge end of the feed pipe 310. The feed end of the discharge pipe 330 is connected to the discharge end of the connecting pipe 320, and the discharge end of the discharge pipe 330 can swing back and forth around its own feed end within a preset angle α, wherein α is less than 180°. The driving structure is used to drive the discharge end of the discharge pipe 330 to swing back and forth within a preset angle α. The adjustment structure is used to adjust the angle between the discharge pipe 330 and the horizontal plane.

The air outlet of the fan 400 is connected to the air inlet of the feed pipe 310.

[0055] When in use, the conveying device 200 conveys the bait in the storage box 100 to the feed pipe 310. Under the action of the fan 400, the wind force generated by the fan 400 in the feeding pipe ejects the bait entering the feed pipe 310 from the discharge pipe 330, thereby achieving the purpose of feeding. In this process, the driving structure drives the discharge end of the discharge pipe 330 to swing back and forth within the preset angle α, so that it can feed in a wide range, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing the feeding range. When it is necessary to change the feeding range, the angle between the discharge pipe 330 and the horizontal plane is adjusted by adjusting the adjustment structure to achieve the purpose of adjusting the feeding range.

[0056] In this embodiment, by setting an adjustment structure, when the feeding range of the feeding assembly needs to be changed, the feeding range of the feeding assembly can be adjusted by adjusting the angle between the discharge pipe 330 and the horizontal plane through the adjustment structure, and the operation is simple.

The first end of the driving arm 513 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 511, and the second end extends in a direction away from the swing arm 512. Specifically, the first end of the swing arm 512 is fixedly connected to the first end of the rotating shaft 511, and the first end of the driving arm 513 is fixedly connected to the second end of the rotating shaft 511.
