Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pet supplies, in particular to a pet box. Background Art

[0002] As more and more people keep pets of all kinds, the demand for pet supplies is also increasing. Pet crates are a common feature of pet care. Pet crates are containers designed specifically for pets to rest in. They provide a safe and comfortable home for pets and protect them from injury or loss when they're away from home.

[0003] First, traditional pet crates only provide short-term accommodation for pets because they lack the ability to store and provide food and water. Furthermore, when pets are outdoors (for example, dogs require regular walks), their paws are exposed to a large amount of dirt and germs. These must be cleaned immediately to prevent them from being brought into the home. Based on this, the applicant proposed a pet crate that can automatically feed and disinfect pets. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the technical problem that pet boxes are not capable of feeding and disinfecting pets, the utility model provides a pet box.

[0005] The utility model adopts the following technical solution: a pet box, including a box body, on which are provided:

[0006] A feeding trough, the feeding trough being installed on the inner wall of the box, and the feeding trough comprising a food trough and a water trough;

[0007] A storage box, the storage box is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the box body, and a partition is installed inside the storage box, which divides the interior of the storage box into two cavities through the partition, and the two cavities are used to store food and water respectively;

[0009] A disinfection bottle is installed on the inner wall of the box body, and the disinfection bottle is communicated with the water trough.

[0010] The above technical solution allows the storage box to temporarily store pet food and water, making it convenient for users to automatically feed their pets when they are out working or when feeding is inconvenient. A disinfection bottle is also provided, which can be filled with disinfectant powder. When the disinfectant powder is dissolved in water, it can be used to soak and disinfect the pet's paws, removing dirt and germs from the paws, preventing the pet from bringing germs and dirt into the home after going out.

[0011] As a further improvement of the above solution, the partition is installed obliquely inside the storage box, and the top of the storage box is provided with a feed hopper and the bottom is provided with a discharge port.

[0030] Below, the present invention is further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] Please combine Figure 1-Figure 4 A pet box of this embodiment includes a box body 1. First, a ventilation window is opened on the box body 1, and grid doors are connected to both ends through hinged rotation.

[0033] A storage box 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the box body 1. An inclined partition 4 is fixedly installed inside the storage box 3. The partition 4 divides the space inside the storage box 3 into two chambers. The two chambers are used to store pet food and water respectively. In actual use, since most cat food and dog food are granular, in order to facilitate the transfer of pet food out of the storage box 3 along the inclined partition 4 to prevent it from getting stuck in the storage box 3, Figure 3 For example, the cavity inside the storage box 3 and located at the upper left corner of the partition 4 stores pet food, and the cavity at the lower right corner stores water.

[0034] Storage box 3 is also equipped with a feed hopper 5 at the top and a discharge port 6 at the bottom. Two feed hoppers 5 and two discharge ports 6 are provided, one for each of the two cavities within storage box 3. The discharge port 6 corresponding to the cavity storing water is smaller, allowing the stored water to flow out more slowly and avoid waste.

[0035] Furthermore, a feeding trough 2 is provided within the housing 1 to transfer food and water from the storage tank 3 to the interior of the housing 1. Specifically, the feeding trough 2 includes a food trough 21 and a water trough 22, both of which are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. A connecting assembly 7 is provided between the feeding trough 2 and the storage tank 3 to transfer food and water from the storage tank 3 to the feeding trough 2.

[0036] Specifically, the connection assembly 7 comprises a valve body 71 and a ball 72. The upper end of the valve body 71 is connected to the discharge port 6 at the bottom of the storage box 3. The ball 72 is rotatably mounted within the valve body 71 and has a through hole. Furthermore, one side of the ball 72 is fixedly connected to a valve stem 73, the other end of which extends out of the valve body 71. A sealing packing is provided between the valve stem 73 and the valve body 71. This means that the valve stem 73 can drive the ball 72 to rotate within the valve body 71, eliminating the risk of food or water spilling through the valve stem 73.

[0037] Because the storage box 3 has two cavities for storing food and water, respectively, two balls 72 and two valve bodies 71 are provided in this embodiment. To control the flow of food and water, the two balls 72 and valve bodies 71 have the same structure but different sizes. A single valve stem 73 is provided, with its ends connected to the two balls 72, respectively.

[0038] In order to automatically control the rotation of the ball 72 at a fixed time so that the entire connecting assembly 7 is connected, a motor is also installed on the side of the housing 1, and a bevel gear set 75 is connected between the motor and the valve stem 73. The bevel gear set 75 is composed of two bevel gears that are meshed with each other, one of which is connected to the valve stem 73, and the other is connected to the motor. For safety reasons, a protective cover 8 is provided on the outside of the bevel gear set 75 and the motor, and the protective cover 8 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. A plane bearing is provided between the valve stem 73 and the protective cover 8. The protective cover 8 can also support the valve stem 73. In addition, the lower end of the valve body 71 is connected to a connecting pipe 74, the lower end of which extends into the interior of the housing 1, and the outlet is located above the food trough 21 and the water trough 22.

[0039] In summary, by controlling the timing of the motor start, the motor drives the valve stem 73 to rotate through the bevel gear set 75, and the valve stem 73 drives the ball 72 to rotate. After the ball 72 rotates 90 degrees, the through hole on the ball 72 is in a vertical state, and the entire valve body 71 is now connected. The food and water in the storage box 3 are transferred to the food trough 21 and the water trough 22 after passing through the valve body 71 and the connecting pipe 74. Feeding pets. Especially when the user is away from home and it is inconvenient to feed the pet, such as when going to work or on a business trip, the pet can be fed automatically. Or when using a pet box to carry a pet, the storage box 3 can also carry some water and food. There is no need to worry about the pet's feeding problem.

[0040] Furthermore, in actual use, the motor controls the valve stem 73 and the ball 72 in the connected state, thereby controlling the amount of food and water fed to the pet. (For example, after the valve body 71 is connected, the ball 72 remains stationary for a period of time before continuing to rotate until the valve body 71 is closed. The longer the stationary period, the greater the amount of food and water fed. This is conventional technology and can be achieved by controlling the start and stop of the motor.) By controlling the feeding amount, food waste or indigestion caused to the pet can be prevented.

[0041] Example 2:

[0042] Combine Figure 5 Based on Example 1, this embodiment has the following further improvements:

[0043] Users often carry their pets in pet boxes when traveling, or after walking their pets, the pets' paws will carry a lot of dirt and germs. In order to facilitate the cleaning of the pet's paws, a disinfection tank 12 ( Figure 2 (marked in).

[0044] A disinfectant bottle 10 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 1 and located on one side of the water trough 22. The top of the disinfectant bottle 10 is provided with a bottle cap (not marked in the figure) and the bottom is provided with a porous plate 11. Water-soluble disinfectant powder is placed in the disinfectant bottle 10. Furthermore, a disinfectant water pipe 9 is connected between the disinfectant bottle 10 and the water trough 22. The disinfectant water pipe 9 is higher than the porous plate 11. A valve is provided on the disinfectant water pipe 9. When the valve is opened, water in the water trough 22 enters the disinfectant bottle 10 through the disinfectant water pipe 9, begins to dissolve the disinfectant powder on the porous plate 11, and flows out of the disinfectant bottle 10 from the porous plate 11 and into the disinfectant trough 12 of the housing 1. This allows the pet's paws to be immersed and disinfected, removing dirt and germs from the paws. This prevents pets from bringing germs and dirt into the home.

[0045] In addition, after the pet's paws are disinfected and cleaned, a drain pipe 13 is installed outside the housing 1 to facilitate the discharge of the waste water in the disinfection tank 12. The drain pipe is also equipped with a valve. When the valve is opened, the waste water in the disinfection tank 12 can be discharged.

[0046] The implementation process and principle of a pet box in the embodiment of this application are as follows:

[0047] (1) First, add food and water to the storage box 3 through the feed hopper 5. The storage box 3 is convenient for storing pet food and drinking water when the user is carrying their pet in the pet box. Alternatively, when it is inconvenient for the user to feed the pet, the pet can be fed automatically. The motor and bevel gear assembly 75 work together to rotate the valve stem 73, which in turn rotates the ball 72, connecting the valve body 71. The water and pet food in the storage box 3 then pass through the valve body 71 and connecting tube 74 and fall into the water trough 22 and food trough 21, automatically feeding the pet. The feeding amount can also be controlled to avoid overfeeding, which can cause food waste or indigestion in the pet.

[0048] (2) When a pet is outdoors, its paws are easily contaminated with dirt and germs. Opening the valve of the disinfectant water pipe 9 allows water in the drinking trough 22 to flow into the disinfectant bottle 10, dissolving the disinfectant powder in the bottle. The water then flows out of the porous plate 11 and into the disinfectant tank 12. This allows the pet's paws to be cleaned and disinfected, removing dirt and germs. This prevents pets from bringing germs and dirt into the home.

[0049] The above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and replacements made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
