[0002] As more and more pets enter family life, it is very common for a family to have multiple pets. Pet owners are taking more and more detailed care of their pets, and the workload is also increasing. Among them, being able to provide food for pets at any time and on demand is extremely important. However, many pet owners cannot take care of their pets all the time due to work or other factors. For this reason, many pet owners are equipped with pet feeders. They can feed pets at regular times and quantitative quantities at the same time.

[0003] At present, the main forms of pet feeders are as follows: First, the food is loaded into compartments, and only one compartment is exposed each time, and the rest are blocked. When the next feeding time comes, the next compartment is rotated out, and so on. Second, the in-and-out drawer type is adopted. Each time feeding, a drawer-like structure is put into the feeder to load the food, and then taken out to feed the pet, and the above action is repeated for the next feeding. Third, there is no external power, and the food flows out from the bottom opening by gravity.

[0004] In the prior art, the more commonly used feeders adopt the first form of feeding method, where only one grid is exposed each time it is rotated, and the rest are blocked, and the next grid is rotated out when the next feeding time comes; a groove is set between the outer diameter of the food-dividing structure in the feeder and the feeding plate to fix it in place, and a sensor is set at the outer diameter of the food-dividing structure to control the rotation of the feeder to realize the rotation of the feeder grid by grid. At this time, during the rotation of the feeder, food may fall into the groove, affecting the use of the feeding plate, and causing the food-dividing structure in the feeding plate to be unable to rotate and the food-dividing function to be blocked.
