[0028] In the embodiment, Figure 1-5 A feeding device for mice is provided. The utility model comprises a mouse box 1, a feeder 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the mouse box 1, a discharge pipe 3 located on the outside of the feeder 2 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mouse box 1, a protection box 4 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mouse box 1, a moving device 5 is arranged inside the protection box 4, a feed box 6 slidably connected to the discharge pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of the moving device 5, a fixing plate 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of the mouse box 1, a water storage bucket 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate 7, a drinking water frame 9 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mouse box 1, a water outlet pipe 10 penetrating through and extending to the inside of the drinking water frame 9 is fixedly connected to the inside of the water storage bucket 8, an electric water valve 11 is arranged inside the water outlet pipe 10, and a water level sensing device 12 is arranged inside the drinking water frame 9.
[0029] Among them, the moving device 5 includes a motor 51 fixedly connected to the inside of the protective box 4, the outer side of the output shaft of the motor 51 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 52 rotatably connected to the inside of the protective box 4, and the outer side of the threaded rod 52 is connected to a transmission block 53 fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed box 6 through a threaded transmission.
[0030] In this embodiment, in actual use, the motor 51 is started, the threaded rod 52 rotates, and under the action of the thread, the transmission block 53 moves, thereby driving the feed box 6 to move.
[0031] The feed box 6 is provided with two slide grooves inside, and the outer side of the discharge pipe 3 is fixedly connected with two slide plates 13 which are slidably connected with the two slide grooves respectively.
[0032] In this embodiment, during actual use, when the feed box 6 moves, it will move relative to the discharge pipe 3. The movement of the slide plate 13 in the slide groove will block the gap between the feed box 6 and the discharge pipe 3 to prevent the feed from leaking out or the mice from running out.
[0033] The end of the discharge pipe 3 away from the mouse box 1 is in a closed state, and a baffle 14 is fixedly connected to the inside of the drinking water frame 9. A plurality of water seepage holes are opened inside the baffle 14.
[0034] In this embodiment, in actual use, the discharge pipe 3 can only discharge from the end of the feed box 6, and the baffle 14 separates the internal and external environments of the mouse box 1 to prevent mice from drilling out.
[0035] Among them, the water level sensing device 12 includes a fixed box 121 fixedly connected to the inside of the drinking frame 9, the inner top wall of the fixed box 121 is fixedly connected to the first sensing sheet 122, the inner bottom wall of the fixed box 121 is fixedly connected to the air bag 123 through a soft rope, and the top of the air bag 123 is fixedly connected to the second sensing sheet 124 corresponding to the first sensing sheet 122.
[0036] In this embodiment, during actual use, when the amount of water in the drinking water frame 9 is too little, the airbag 123 falls down, and the first sensing sheet 122 is separated from the second sensing sheet 124; when the amount of water in the drinking water frame 9 is sufficient, the airbag 123 floats up under the buoyancy, causing the first sensing sheet 122 to contact the second sensing sheet 124.
[0037] The electric water valve 11 is electrically connected to the first induction sheet 122 , and a plurality of water seepage holes are provided inside the fixing box 121 .
[0038] In this embodiment, during actual use, when the first sensing sheet 122 is separated from the second sensing sheet 124, the first sensing sheet 122 provides a signal to the electric water valve 11 to open the electric water valve 11. When the first sensing sheet 122 is in contact with the second sensing sheet 124, the electric water valve 11 is closed to stop supplying water, and the water seepage hole maintains water circulation between the fixed box 121 and the drinking water frame 9.
[0039] Working principle:
