Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of intelligent furniture, and in particular relates to an intelligent feeder capable of adding water to pet food to make wet food for pets to eat, and a feeding method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Eating raw meat is a natural habit of cats. The staple food for pet cats is mainly divided into two categories: dry food and wet food. Pet cats that eat dry food rely on drinking water to replenish water. Some pets will suffer from urinary system and other related diseases due to insufficient water intake. It is more convenient to feed pets with smart feeders. There is no need for manual feeding and cleaning, which is deeply loved by pet owners. Existing smart feeders only have dry food or wet food feeders. When feeding with dry food, pets need to draw water only when they feel thirsty, which is easy to cause urinary system and other related diseases due to insufficient water intake. The storage requirements of wet feed are higher. In hot weather, it needs to be added manually at regular intervals, which is inconvenient to use. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent feeder that can feed dry food and process dry food into wet food for feeding, so as to provide pets with food that is more in line with their eating habits and improve the convenience of pet breeding.

[0044] The feeding process of the intelligent feeder includes the following steps:

[0045] (1) The control unit controls the traction assembly, which drives the carrier vehicle to move on the slide rail to realize the round-trip movement of the food bowl between the three positions of feeding, adding food, and cleaning the food bowl;

[0046] (2) The control unit controls the traction assembly to move the food bowl to the cleaning position, and the rotating power unit drives the food bowl and the bowl cover to rotate to an inclined state. The bowl cover fits on the food bowl to form a closed container, and the stirring rod arranged on the bowl cover is placed in the container; the food bowl tilt position switch collects the tilt angle of the food bowl and transmits it to the control unit. When the set angle is reached, the control unit controls the rotation unit to stop rotating, and then the water pump fills hot water into the food bowl through the water outlet pipe. Then the control unit starts the stirring power unit to drive the stirring rod to rotate, and the traction assembly pulls the carrier vehicle, the bowl cover is separated from the food bowl, and the closed container is opened. The washed water and other residues fall into the waste recovery storage box, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the food bowl;

[0047] (3) The traction assembly moves the food bowl to the food adding position, and the rotary power unit rotates the bowl cover to separate from the food bowl, with the mouth of the food bowl facing upward;

[0048] The control unit starts the grain discharging power unit, which drives the dial to rotate, and the dry grain in the grain storage tank is discharged through the grain discharging port and falls into the food bowl by gravity;

[0049] The weighing sensor transmits the weight of the added food to the control unit, and the control unit identifies and determines whether the set amount of added food has been reached. When the amount of added food has been reached, the control unit sends a stop command to the food discharging power to stop adding dry food;

[0050] Then, the traction component moves the food bowl to the food stirring and cleaning position, and the rotating power unit drives the food bowl and the bowl cover to rotate in an inclined state, and the bowl cover fits on the food bowl to form a closed container, and the stirring rod arranged on the bowl cover is placed in the container;

[0051] Then, the control unit drives the water pump to add hot water to the food bowl through the water outlet pipe. The control unit stops adding water after reaching the set water weight based on the information collected by the weighing sensor. Then the control unit starts the stirring power unit to drive the stirring rod to rotate, processing the dry food into wet food.

[0052] Then, the temperature sensor arranged on the basin support collects the temperature of the wet food in the food basin and transmits it to the control unit, the rotating power unit drives the food basin to be in a horizontal state, the basin cover is separated from the food basin, the traction assembly pulls the carrier vehicle to expose the food basin, and the food basin is moved to the animal feeding position, the spout of the food basin faces upward, and the animal can touch and eat the food in the food basin;

[0053] (4) After feeding is completed or the set time is reached, the traction component tows the carrier vehicle to the food bowl cleaning position, repeats the work of step (2), and starts the next cycle.

[0054] Furthermore, the feeding completion in step (4) is determined by weighing the food using a weighing sensor.

[0055] Furthermore, in the step (4), the food bowl is moved to be separated from the bowl cover, and the water and residual food in the closed container flow out through the gap between the food bowl and the bowl cover and fall into the storage box under the gap, thereby cleaning the food bowl.

[0056] The feeding scheme adopted by the present invention realizes intelligent feeding that integrates the functions of food storage, processing, pushing, food carrier cleaning and disinfection, and can repeatedly provide food to pets in a quantitative manner.

[0057] The working principle of this method is as follows:

[0058] The food discharging power unit drives the dial to dial a certain amount of dry food in the food storage tank and moves it to the food bowl under the food discharging port. The control unit controls the traction component to pull the food bowl to the cleaning and stirring position. The rotating power rotates to drive the bowl cover to fit together with the food bowl, start to inject water and stir, and process the dry food into wet food. After cooling, the food bowl is moved to the feeding position to provide the processed food to the pet. After the pet has finished eating or the set design time is reached, the food bowl moves to the stirring position, and the food bowl and the bowl cover fit together to form a closed container. Hot water is injected into the closed container through a water pipe passing through the bowl cover. The closed container rotates a certain angle, and the stirring rod in the closed container rotates to drive the water in the closed container to move, and the moving water flushes the food bowl. Then the food bowl moves and separates from the bowl cover, and the water and residual food in the closed container flow out through the gap between the food bowl and the bowl cover and fall into the storage box under the gap. The bowl moves and fits together with the bowl cover to form a closed container, hot water is injected again, and after stirring and cleaning, the food bowl moves again and fits together with the bowl cover, and the disinfection device on the bowl cover works to disinfect and sterilize the space in the closed container, and then rotates to drive the food bowl to rotate the bowl mouth upward, the food bowl moves to a position below the grain outlet of the dry food tank, and after the dry food is put in, the food bowl moves to the stirring position, and the bowl cover fits together to form a closed container, hot water is injected into the closed container through a water pipe passing through the bowl cover, the closed container rotates a certain angle, and the stirring rod in the closed container rotates, driving the water and dry food in the closed container to move, and then the bowl cover rotates and pushes the food bowl to rotate to the bowl mouth upward position, the food bowl moves and separates from the bowl cover, and then the food bowl is left to stand until the temperature of the food bowl is not higher than the set temperature, and then the food bowl moves to the feeding position, so as to continuously provide food to the pet according to the set time and quantity. The technical solution provided by the present invention realizes an intelligent feeder that integrates the functions of food storage, processing, pushing, food carrier cleaning and disinfection, and can repeatedly provide food to pets in a quantitative manner.

[0059] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
