[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. 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 ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 4, an embodiment of the utility model proposes a grain discharging component, including a vibration component 1 and an automatically resettable sealing component 2, the vibration component 1 abuts against the sealing component 2, the vibration component 1 is used to be separated from the sealing component 2 by a first direction rotational force, forced to move the sealing component 2 away from the discharge port of the grain storage barrel 9 by a second direction rotational force, and automatically reset and hit the sealing component 2 to vibrate the grain storage barrel 9. Specifically, when the vibration component 1 is driven by an external force to rotate toward a first direction, the vibration component 1 is separated from the sealing component 2. When the external force is removed, the vibration component 1 automatically resets and hits the sealing component 2 to vibrate the grain storage barrel 9. When the vibration component 1 is driven by an external force to rotate toward the second direction, the vibration component 1 abuts against the sealing component 2 to rotate, and the sealing component 2 moves away from the discharge port of the grain storage barrel 9. When the external force is removed, the sealing component 2 automatically resets to block the discharge port of the grain storage barrel 9, wherein the first direction is counterclockwise and the second direction is clockwise.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The vibration assembly 1 includes a vibration member 11, a first reset member 5, a connecting rod 4 and a knob switch 3. One end of the vibration member 11 is slidably connected to one end of the connecting rod 4, the other end of the vibration member 11 abuts against the sealing assembly 2, and the other end of the connecting rod 4 is connected to the knob switch 3. The first reset member 5 is sleeved on the connecting rod 4, and the two ends of the first reset member 5 are respectively against the knob switch 3 and the vibration member 11. The knob switch 3 is located outside the grain storage barrel 9 so that the vibration member 11 can be driven to rotate by rotating the knob switch 3. When the vibration member 11 is driven by an external force to rotate in the first direction, the vibration member 11 is separated from the sealing assembly 2, and the first The reset member 5 contracts under the force, and when the external force is removed, the elastic force of the first reset member 5 resets the vibrating member 11, and the vibrating member 11 hits the sealing component 2 to vibrate the grain storage barrel 9, thereby facilitating the shaking off of the pet food stuck on the inner wall of the grain storage barrel 9; when the vibrating member 11 is driven by the external force to rotate toward the second direction, the vibrating member 11 pushes the sealing component 2 to rotate toward the second direction, and the sealing component 2 is moved away from the discharge port of the grain storage barrel 9 to facilitate the pet food in the grain storage barrel 9 to fall out. When the external force is removed, the sealing component 2 automatically resets to block the discharge port of the grain storage barrel 9, thereby preventing the pet food in the grain storage barrel 9 from coming into contact with the air and deteriorating.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The first tilted block 111 is provided on the vibration member 11, and the sealing assembly 2 includes a rotary bin 21, and a second tilted block 211 and a blocking block 212 are provided on the rotary bin 21. The first tilted block 111 abuts against the blocking block 212 and can move along the second tilted block 211. When the external force drives the knob switch 3 to rotate in the first direction, the first tilted block 111 moves along the second tilted block 211, so that the vibration member 11 slides on the connecting rod 4 to compress the first reset member 5 to contract. When the external force on the knob switch 3 is removed, the elastic force of the first reset member 5 resets the vibration member 11, and the first tilted block 111 hits the blocking block 212 and is blocked by the blocking block 212 to vibrate the grain storage barrel 9, thereby shaking off the pet food sticking to the inner wall of the grain storage barrel 9. The force of the first tilted block 111 on the blocking block 212 is not enough to change the position of the sealing assembly 2, so that the sealing assembly 2 will not rotate relative to the grain storage barrel 9. In the embodiment of the present application, the first reset member 5 is a spring.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 A connecting seat 112 with an opening is provided at one end of the vibrating member 11 away from the first inclined block 111.
