Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the expansion of the pet market and the rapid increase in the number of pet owners, solving the problems of pet owners regarding food, clothing, housing and transportation during the period of pet ownership has become an urgent need for pet owners. As an important part of the basic needs of pets, pet feeders have gradually been loved by pet owners. Pet feeders are an automated device used to feed pets at a fixed time and in a fixed quantity. This device can help owners ensure that pets get food on time, especially when the owner is not at home or busy. Pet feeders can ensure that pets will not starve due to lack of food in time.

[0003] However, the existing pet feeders have the following deficiencies: after the pet feeders discharge food, they do not have a corresponding sealing mechanism, and cannot store the pet food for a long time, which may cause the pet food to get damp, clump, be contaminated or deteriorate. If the pet food gets damp and clumps, it may also block the food channel, resulting in poor food discharge, and ultimately making the pet unable to eat the pet food. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a pet feeder to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0023] 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 in 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.

[0024] See also Figure 1-6 The utility model provides a technical solution: a pet feeder, comprising: a shell 1 with an operation panel on the outside; a push box 2 is horizontally slidably placed inside the shell 1, a material storage box 3 is placed inside the push box 2, and a driving part is provided on one side of the material storage box 3 for driving the push box 2 to move; a material storage barrel 10 is installed inside the shell 1, and a stirring shaft 18 is movably provided inside the material storage barrel 10. The stirring shaft 18 can be raised and lowered while rotating inside the material storage barrel 10, and a lifting assembly is provided at the end of the stirring shaft 18 for controlling the lifting and lowering of the stirring shaft 18, and a spiral blade 19 is welded to the bottom of the stirring shaft 18, and the spiral blade 19 is slidably connected to the bottom of the material storage barrel 10, and a sealing plug 20 is fixed to the bottom of the spiral blade 19 for sealing the bottom of the material storage barrel 10.

[0025] It should be noted that the utility model is provided with a control box, and a battery, a Wi-Fi / Bluetooth module, a timer and an embedded processor are installed inside the control box, so that remote control of the feeder can be realized. When feeding is needed, the stirring shaft 18 is driven downward by the lifting component group, so that the sealing plug 20 is separated from the bottom of the storage barrel 10, and the stirring shaft 18 is driven to rotate by controlling the stirring motor 17. Under the action of the spiral blade 19, the granular food inside the storage barrel 10 is quantitatively and constantly transported to the storage box 3 at the bottom. Under the action of the timer, the lifting component drives the sealing plug 20 to reset and seal the bottom of the storage barrel 10, and the driving unit pushes the push box 2 out from the inside of the shell 1. After a certain period of time, the driving unit drives the push box 2 to be recovered into the shell 1.

[0026] like Figure 2 ,3 As shown, two guide rail grooves 4 are installed inside the shell 1 by screws, and the guide rail grooves 4 are slidably connected to the limiting guide rails 5. The guide rail grooves 4 are slidably connected to the limiting guide rails 5. The driving part includes a support plate 6 installed inside the shell 1 by bolts, and a driving motor 7 is installed on one side of the push box 2 and above the support plate 6 by bolts. The output end of the driving motor 7 is fixedly connected to a driving wheel 8, and the driving wheel 8 is connected to the support plate 6.

[0027] It should be noted that anti-slip particles are provided on the outer side of the driving wheel 8 of the utility model, and a rubber pad is provided on the top of the support plate 6. The driving motor 7 drives the driving wheel 8 to roll on the top of the support plate 6, and the push box 2 is pushed to one end through the reaction force. When the push box 2 moves to one end, the limiting guide rail 5 slides inside the guide rail groove 4, thereby ensuring that the push box 2 can slide horizontally and smoothly.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, an ultraviolet sterilization lamp 9 is installed inside the housing 1 and above the material storage box 3 by bolts.

[0029] It should be noted that the ultraviolet light of the utility model is an effective disinfectant that can destroy the DNA of bacteria and prevent them from reproducing and growing. Placing the ultraviolet germicidal lamp above the storage box can disinfect the food before it enters the feeding bowl, thereby reducing the risk of pets ingesting bacteria; by regularly using the ultraviolet germicidal lamp, the number of bacteria inside the feeder can be effectively reduced, the shelf life of the food can be extended, and pets can be guaranteed to get fresh and healthy food.

[0030] like Figure 4 , 6 As shown, a support frame 11 is fixedly connected to the inside of the shell 1, a storage barrel 10 is installed in the middle of the support frame 11, a positioning ring 12 is fixed to the outside of the storage barrel 10, and a top cover 13 is threadedly connected to the top of the storage barrel 10.

[0031] It should be noted that a snap-on cover is provided on the top of the shell 1 of the utility model, and a limiting shaft is provided at the bottom of the positioning ring 12, and a limiting hole matching the limiting shaft is provided in the middle of the support frame 11. When the inside of the storage barrel 10 is to be cleaned or cleaned, the cover can be removed and the storage barrel 10 can be taken out from the shell 1. When the storage barrel 10 is installed inside the shell 1, the storage barrel 10 is placed in the middle of the support frame 11, and the limiting shaft is inserted into the limiting hole to position the storage barrel 10.

[0032] like Figure 4 , 6As shown, the lifting assembly includes a connecting plate 14 rotatably connected to the outside of the stirring shaft 18, a lifting rod 16 slidably connected to the top cover 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 14, a return spring 15 is sleeved on the outside of the lifting rod 16 and located between the connecting plate 14 and the top cover 13, a stirring motor 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 14, and the output end of the stirring motor 17 is fixedly connected to the stirring shaft 18, and electromagnets 21 are installed at corresponding positions of the connecting plate 14 and the top cover 13, and the two electromagnets 21 have opposite magnetic poles when energized.

[0033] It should be noted that a lifting rod 16 that can slide up and down is installed on the top of the top cover 13 of the utility model. The top of the lifting rod 16 is fixedly connected to the electromagnet 21. The middle part of the electromagnet 21 is connected to the stirring shaft 18 through a bearing, and the stirring shaft 18 is slidably connected to the top cover 13. When it is necessary to separate the sealing plug 20 from the storage barrel 10, the two electromagnets 21 are energized. Under the action of mutual attraction of the magnetic poles, the connecting plate 14 compresses the return spring 15 downward, and the connecting plate 14 drives the stirring shaft 18 to move downward. The stirring shaft 18 pushes the spiral blade 19 downward, so that the sealing plug 20 is separated from the bottom of the storage barrel 10, and the stirring motor 17 drives the stirring shaft 18 to rotate. When the stirring shaft 18 stirs the food inside the storage barrel 10, the spiral blade 19 discharges the food from the bottom of the sealing plug 20. When there is no need to discharge, the stirring motor 17 stops moving, and then the electromagnet 21 is powered off. Under the resetting action of the return spring 15, the sealing plug 20 blocks the bottom of the storage barrel 10.
