DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement the present invention. The embodiments described below are provided for illustrative purposes only, and those skilled in the art will readily appreciate other obvious variations. The basic principles of the present invention as defined in the following description may be applied to other embodiments, variations, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0030] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of the present invention, the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicating the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 9 The figure shows a pet feeder, comprising a body 1 and a feeding bowl 2. An opening 3 is provided on the front side of the body 1 for inserting the pet's head into, and a receiving cavity 4 is provided within the opening 3. Baffles 5 are provided on the left and right sides of the receiving cavity 4 to prevent food from being snatched away. The bottom of the receiving cavity 4 is provided with a recessed cavity 6 for accommodating the feeding bowl 2. The recessed cavity 6 is provided with an opening 7 for the feeding bowl 2 to enter and exit the recessed cavity 6. The opening 7 is shaped like an arc surface 17 and / or an inclined surface 18 that rises from the front to the back on one side of the opening 3.

[0032] In this example, if Figure 9 As shown, the shape of the opening 7 is roughly formed by connecting a section of inclined surface 18 and a section of curved surface 17 from front to back. Like this, it is more conducive to arranging the rolling shutter plate 8 and the rolling shutter plate 8 folding / unfolding.

[0033] Depend on Figure 9As can be seen, the shape of opening 7 provides more space in front of the pet's head. Furthermore, the shape of opening 7 allows for more space for food drop opening 13, allowing it to be positioned further forward, allowing food dropped from opening 13 to smoothly enter feeding bowl 2. Furthermore, due to the aforementioned improvements, the provision of granary 15 above food drop opening 13 allows granary 15 to be positioned further forward, shortening the overall pet feeder's front-to-back dimensions.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the opening 7 is provided with a roll-up shutter 8 that can be rolled up and stored. When extended, the shutter 8 covers the recessed cavity 6, and when rolled up and stored, it opens the recessed cavity 6 to expose the feeding bowl 2. Thus, the shape of the shutter 8 is more compatible with the design of the opening 7 of the present disclosure, which contributes to the reliability of the disclosure. Furthermore, the design of the shutter 8 helps prevent pets from eating food when the meal is not yet served, and also helps protect the food from long-term exposure and contamination.

[0035] like Figure 5 、 9 As shown, a rolling roller 9 is provided on the front side of the recessed cavity 6 and is connected to a shutter plate 8. Rotation of the rolling roller 9 is used to roll up the shutter plate 8, thereby opening the recessed cavity 6. This allows for more space for the food drop opening 13, allowing it to be positioned further forward, allowing food dropped from the food drop opening 13 to smoothly enter the feeding bowl 2. Furthermore, due to the aforementioned improvements, the provision of a grain bin 15 above the food drop opening 13 allows this bin 15 to be positioned further forward, shortening the overall front-to-back dimension of the pet feeder.

[0036] The rotation of the winding drum 9 is driven by, for example, an electric motor, which may be driven by a transmission structure such as a gear transmission, a belt transmission, or a rack transmission, which will not be described in detail here.

[0037] like Figure 1 、 9 As shown, a top cover 16 is provided on the top of the fuselage 1, and a granary 15 is provided on the lower side of the top cover 16. When the top cover 16 is opened, the granary 15 can be easily operated, such as adding grain.

[0038] like Figure 6 The figure shows a winding drum 9, an installation cavity 11 is set on the front side of the concave cavity 6, and the winding drum 9 is installed in the installation cavity 11. A gear 10 is provided at the left and right ends of the winding drum 9 respectively, and the rolling shutter plate 8 is provided with a tooth groove. Then the gear 10 is connected to the rolling shutter plate 8, thereby driving the rolling shutter plate 8 to move around the winding drum 9.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, guide grooves 12 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the opening 7 , and the left and right sides of the rolling shutter plate 8 are respectively guided and matched with the corresponding guide grooves 12 . Figure 4 The guide groove 12 on the left side is mainly seen in the figure, and the opposite side of the guide groove 12 on the left side is the guide groove 12 on the right side. The guide groove 12 helps the rolling shutter plate 8 to be more reliably folded / unfolded.

[0040] like Figure 9 As shown, a accommodating interval 19 is provided on the lower side of the concave cavity 6, and the rolling roller 9 rotates to drive the rolling shutter plate 8 to be stored in the accommodating interval 19, so that the rolling shutter plate 8 driven by the rolling roller 9 has space for storage, and the lower side space of the concave cavity 6 is utilized, thereby better solving the storage problem of the rolling shutter plate 8. At the same time, the rolling shutter plate 8 does not need to be wound 360 degrees, so that the rolling shutter plate 8 can be made thicker and does not need to be made thin for 360-degree winding.

[0041] Furthermore, the guide grooves 12 surround the winding drum 9 and extend to the left and right sides of the storage compartment 19. Thus, the upper and lower guide grooves 12 and the guide grooves 12 surrounding the winding drum 9 form a U-shape that opens toward the rear of the pet feeder. The rolling shutter plate 8 is guided by the U-shaped guide grooves 12. Thus, the left and right sides of the storage compartment 19 also have guide grooves 12, allowing the rolling shutter plate 8 to be better accommodated in the storage compartment 19.

[0042] like Figure 3 、 9 As shown, a food drop-out opening 13 is provided on the rear side of the cavity 6 .

[0043] Further, such as Figure 3 、 9 As shown, the bottom surface of the food drop opening 13 is provided with a guide surface 14 which is tilted downward from the back to the front, and the guide surface 14 is used to guide the food to the feeding bowl 2. In this way, the food can better reach the feeding bowl 2, and is particularly helpful to avoid accumulation at the rear side of the feeding bowl 2.

[0044] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown, the opening 3 is tilted from front to back. Like this, the upper part of the rear side of the accommodating chamber 4 is just closer to the opening 3, making the space less oppressive, which is conducive to the pet putting its head into the accommodating chamber 4 to eat.

[0045] In addition to the aforementioned configurations of the opening 7, the opening 7 may be formed solely of a curved surface 17, which may be formed by a plurality of curved surfaces 17 rising from the front to the rear on one side of the opening 3. Similarly, the opening 7 may be formed solely of an inclined surface 18, which may be formed by a plurality of inclined surfaces 18 rising from the front to the rear on one side of the opening 3. Alternatively, the opening 7 may be formed by a combination of a plurality of curved surfaces 17 and a plurality of inclined surfaces 18.

[0046] When understanding the present disclosure, if necessary, the above structure can refer to other embodiments / appendices. Figure 1 And understand, no further elaboration here.

[0047] The above description is merely an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, and therefore any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the structure, features and principles described in the scope of protection of the present invention are included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
