Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of feeders, in particular to a feeder for experimental monkeys. Background Art

[0002] Monkeys are a general term for Primates of the class Mammalia. They are omnivorous and mainly feed on fruits. They will not miss any meat that is readily available. They are one of the three species of great apes and primates. In order to better study monkeys, scientists choose to raise monkeys in the laboratory. In the process of raising monkeys, feeding equipment is needed.

[0003] According to a feeding device for raising experimental monkeys disclosed on the patent website (authorization announcement number: CN217324000U), "The utility model discloses a feeding device for raising experimental monkeys, including a storage box, a food groove is provided on one side of the upper surface of the storage box, a feed port is provided on the other side of the upper surface of the storage box, a sliding groove is provided on one side of the storage box, and an anti-blocking component is provided on one side of the storage box. The anti-blocking component includes a protective cover, a motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the protective cover, a first rotating shaft is connected to the output end of the motor, a first gear is fixedly connected to the other end of the first rotating shaft, a second gear is meshed on the upper surface of the first gear, a second rotating shaft passes through and is fixedly connected to the interior of the second gear, and one end of the second rotating shaft passes through one side of the storage box and is fixedly sleeved with a rotating blade. When in use, the monkeys can be fed quantitatively to avoid the monkeys not being able to eat enough due to too little food, and to avoid wasting food due to too much food."

[0004] In view of the above description, the applicant believes that there are the following problems:

[0005] During use, when the motor rotates, the first gear is driven to rotate through the first rotating shaft. Since the second gear is meshed with the first gear, when the first gear rotates, the second gear is driven to rotate synchronously. When the second gear rotates, the rotating blades are also driven to rotate through the second rotating shaft. In actual use, since the feed port of the device is often open, it is easy for the experimental monkeys to be lured by the smell of food to destroy the device because of the food. At the same time, the food trough of the device is fixed, which leads to the fact that when food residues appear, it is easy to deteriorate, making it difficult for the staff to clean it well. Therefore, it is necessary to improve a feeder for experimental monkeys to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
