[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the technical solution more clear, the technical solution is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods. It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the technical solution.

[0035] To solve the problem that the window of the turntable 30-type feeder is generally open and has no closed door, the pet food is very easy to get, and the first grid is exposed to the air, and the wet pet food inside is easy to dry out. Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment proposes a turntable 30-type pet food feeder. Specifically, the lower part of the feeder is a main unit component 10, and the middle of the main unit has an operation panel 11. The operation panel 11 can provide the effect of displaying the working status of the main unit component 10, and has physical operation buttons or virtual operation buttons to control the working status of the main unit component 10. The upper part of the main unit component 10 has an upper shell 20, and the upper shell 20 has a generally trapezoidal window, which is temporarily covered with a cover plate 21. The cover plate 21 also has a hand-operated protrusion 211, and the user can turn the cover plate 21 by hand-operated protrusion 211. The upper shell 20 can completely cover the outside of the main body of the main unit component 10 and expose the operation panel 11. The upper shell 20 can be assembled with the main unit component 10 to form a round pancake-shaped structure with a regular appearance.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, after the upper shell 20 is disassembled, the turntable 30 can be exposed. In this embodiment, the turntable 30 has 6 pet food grids 32, which are arranged in a circular array and are generally trapezoidal in structure. A partition 31 is provided between two adjacent pet food grids 32. The shape of the pet food grid 32 is basically the same as the shape of the window.

[0037] like Figure 3As shown, it can be seen from the bottom surface of the upper shell 20 and the cover plate 21 that the main body of the cover plate 21 is a trapezoidal structure, and one end of the cover plate 21 has an annular connection structure 217, and the cover plate 21 is hinged to the columnar structure in the middle of the upper shell 20 through the annular connection structure 217, so the cover plate 21 is hinged to the upper shell 20 through the annular connection structure 217. In addition, a set of locks is provided at the connection between the upper shell 20 and the cover plate 21.

[0038] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the feeder in this embodiment has a built-in rotating drive component in its main assembly 10, which can drive the turntable 30 to rotate counterclockwise. In one embodiment, the rotating drive component can complete the rotation of the turntable 30 through a combination of a motor, a gear, and a gear ring. Figure 3 As shown, the lock is installed at the connection between the upper shell 20 and the cover plate 21, and the lock is located at the front of the cover plate 21 corresponding to the transmission direction of the turntable 30, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the hand-shift protrusion 211 is also located at the front of the cover plate 21 corresponding to the transmission direction of the turntable 30 .

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the basic structure of the lock is a fastener 212 provided on the cover plate 21, and the fastener 212 has a first hook structure 214. Therefore, when the main assembly 10 of the feeder drives the turntable 30 to rotate, the barrier 31 can contact the first hook structure 214 during the rotation process, and the cover plate 21 is driven to rotate by the first hook structure 214. When in use, the raised assembly can be held to close the cover plate 21 at the window of the upper shell 20. When the turntable 30 rotates step by step for the first time, the turntable 30 rotates with the cover plate 21 to expose the remaining pet food compartments 32.

[0040] Furthermore, the first hook structure 214 has a first guide surface 215. Since the fastener 212 is fixedly mounted on the cover plate 21, and the cover plate 21 is a plate-like structure with a relatively small thickness, and the cover plate 21 can be made of plastic and has a certain elastic deformation ability, when the cover plate 21 moves one step position, the hand-operated protrusion 211 abuts against the edge of the window, and the cover plate 21 is blocked and cannot rotate with the turntable 30. When the turntable 30 continues to rotate, the cover plate 21 can be slightly tilted, and the first hook structure 214 can pass over the current barrier 31.

[0041] Furthermore, the fastener 212 also has a fastening position 213; the upper shell 20 has a rotating member 222 near the window, the rotating member 222 is hinged to the upper shell 20, and the rotating member 222 has a second hook structure 223 opened toward the window; when the cover 21 closes the window, the second hook structure 223 enters the fastening position 213 and connects with the fastener 212 to lock the cover 21 at the window. At this time, the user can push the cover 21 to the end and combine the fastener 212 with the second hook structure 223. At this time, the cover 21 cannot be opened from the outside of the upper shell 20 to prevent the pet from accidentally opening the cover 21. Before the turntable 30 rotates, the barrier 31 is located below the second hook structure 223, and the barrier 31 can prevent the second hook structure 223 from separating from the fastener 212. When the turntable 30 rotates, the second hook structure 223 loses the support of the barrier 31 , the second hook structure 223 and the fastener 212 separate, the turntable 31 continues to rotate, the barrier 31 can contact the first hook structure 214 , and then the cover plate 21 can continue to rotate with the turntable 30 .

[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, as a preference, the fastener 212 has a second guide surface 216 which is arranged obliquely and is used to guide the second hook structure 223 into the buckle position 213 at a position corresponding to the second hook structure 223. The front portion of the second hook structure 223 has a third guide surface 224 which is arranged obliquely and is used to guide the second hook structure 223 into the buckle position 213. Both the second guide surface 216 and the third guide surface 224 are guide structures which facilitate the combination of the second hook structure 223 and the buckle position 213.

[0043] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the hinge connection of the rotating member 222 in the upper shell 20, a structural member 221 is fixedly installed on the upper shell 20 corresponding to the rotating member 222. The tail of the rotating member 222 is hinged to the structural member 221, and the structural member 221 facilitates the hinge connection of the rotating member 222 and the upper shell 20.

[0044] A reset member for providing the second hook structure 223 with an upward flipping tendency is installed on the rotating member 222. The reset member can be a spring or a torsion spring installed on the rotating member 222.

[0045] Preferably, the connection between the second hook structure 223 and the fastener 212 is completed by passing through the bottom of the fastener 212. This arrangement is beneficial to the arrangement of the structure and prevents the second hook structure 223 and the fastener 212 from being separated due to the pet stepping on the cover plate 21.

[0046] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, many changes can be made in the specific implementation methods and application scopes based on the ideas of the present technical content. As long as these changes do not deviate from the concept of the present invention, they all fall within the scope of protection of this patent.
