[0029] 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.

[0030] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a pet quantitative feeder, comprising an outer shell 1 with a hollow inner cavity and an open top, a sealing block 2 for closing the top open portion of the outer shell 1 is tightly plugged into the top of the outer shell 1, the top of the sealing block 2 extends out of the outer shell 1, and the portion of the sealing block 2 extending out of the outer shell 1 is integrated with a cover plate 3 that is completely fitted with the top of the outer shell 1, and a handle 4 is fixed to the side of the cover plate 3 facing away from the outer shell 1.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The inner cavity groove wall of the shell 1 is integrated with a collecting bucket 5 for accommodating pet food. The inner cavity of the collecting bucket 5 is hollow and has an opening at the top. The pet food is poured into the inner cavity of the shell 1 from the top opening of the shell 1 and will directly fall into the collecting bucket 5. An observation groove 6 connected to the inner cavity of the collecting bucket 5 is opened on the outer wall of the shell 1. A transparent glass 7 that closes the observation groove 6 is fixed on the observation groove 6. The user can check the amount of pet food in the collecting bucket 5 by observing the transparent glass 7. A support 8 is integrated on the outer wall of the shell 1. The inner cavity of the support 8 is provided with a groove 9 for accommodating a pet bowl 10. A pet bowl 10 that is compatible with the groove 9 and is convenient for pets to use is tightly inserted into the groove 9.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The inner cavity of the shell 1 is provided with a quantitative feeding component for quantitatively feeding the pet food in the collecting bucket 5 into the pet bowl 10.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 and Figure 4 and Figure 5The quantitative feeding assembly includes a discharge pipe 11 which is integrally formed with the bottom of the collecting bucket 5 and is connected to the inner cavity of the collecting bucket 5. Slide rails 12 located below the collecting bucket 5 are fixed on both sides of the inner cavity groove wall of the shell 1. The two slide rails 12 are arranged opposite to each other. A mounting plate 13 that is completely in contact with the bottom of the discharge pipe 11 is slidably connected in the two slide rails 12. A discharge pipe 14 is fixed on the mounting plate 13. The inner cavity of the discharge pipe 14 is hollow, with openings at the upper and lower ends. The top of the discharge pipe 14 is connected to the inner cavity of the discharge pipe 11, and a connecting cover 15 that closes the bottom opening of the discharge pipe 14 is hingedly connected to the bottom. The top of the discharge pipe 14 is flush with the top of the mounting plate 13. A support plate 16 with an L-shaped cross-section is fixed on one of the slide rails 12, and an electric push rod 17 for driving the discharge pipe 14 to move is fixed to the inner cavity groove wall of the shell 1.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 and Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the initial state, the discharge pipe 14 is connected with the discharge pipe 11, and the pet food entering the collecting hopper 5 enters the discharge pipe 14 through the discharge pipe 11. The support plate 16 limits the connection cover 15, so that the connection cover 15 closes the bottom opening of the discharge pipe 14. The electric push rod 17 provides power to drive the discharge pipe 14 to move. The cooperation of the slide rail 12 and the mounting plate 13 guides the movement of the discharge pipe 14. When the discharge pipe 14 moves to the point where the connection cover 15 is no longer in contact with the support plate 16, the connection cover 15 flips over under the action of gravity, and the pet food is discharged from the bottom of the discharge pipe 14.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 and Figure 4 and Figure 5 A feed hopper 18 is also fixed to the inner groove wall of the shell 1 and is located obliquely below the support plate 16. The inner cavity of the feed hopper 18 is hollow and has an opening at the top. The size of the feed hopper 18 is larger than the size of the discharge pipe 14. The pet food discharged from the discharge pipe 14 will fall into the feed hopper 18. A feed pipe 19 connected to the inner cavity of the feed hopper 18 is integrated at the bottom of the feed hopper 18. The feed pipe 19 is arranged obliquely. The end of the feed pipe 19 away from the feed hopper 18 passes through the shell 1 and is fixedly connected to the shell 1. The part of the feed pipe 19 that passes through the shell 1 enters the inner cavity of the support 8 and is fixed to the support 8. The feed pipe 19 is connected to the groove 9. The pet food falling into the feed hopper 18 enters the groove 9 of the support 8 through the feed pipe 19 and falls into the pet bowl 10 that is clamped and connected to the groove 9, which is convenient for the pet to eat.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 A closing component is provided on the outer side of the housing 1 for closing the groove 9 when the pet is not eating.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2The closing assembly includes a sealing plate 20 which is arranged above the support 8 and closes the groove 9. Rocker arms 21 are fixed on both sides of the sealing plate 20. One end of the rocker arm 21 away from the sealing plate 20 is hingedly connected to the outer wall of the shell 1. The outer wall of the shell 1 is provided with a pedal 22 located below the support 8. Strip plates 23 are fixed on both sides of the pedal 22. The strip plates 23 are hingedly connected to the outer wall of the shell 1. The strip plates 23 are hingedly connected to the rocker arm 21 through a connecting rod 24.

[0038] When in use, the power is turned on, the switch is turned on, the user grasps the handle 4, and forcibly pulls out the cover plate 3 and the sealing block 2 of the integrated structure with the handle 4. After the sealing block 2 is disconnected from the shell 1, the user pours the pet food into the inner cavity of the shell 1, and the pet food poured into the inner cavity of the shell 1 will directly fall into the inner cavity of the collecting bucket 5 fixed to the inner cavity groove wall of the shell 1;

[0039] In the initial state, the mounting plate 13 is completely fitted with the bottom of the discharge pipe 11, the discharge pipe 14 is connected with the inner cavity of the discharge pipe 11, and the pet food in the inner cavity of the collecting bucket 5 enters the inner cavity of the discharge pipe 14 through the discharge pipe 11. At this time, the support plate 16 and the connecting plate are in contact with the side away from the discharge pipe 14. Through the limiting effect of the support plate 16, the connecting cover 15 closes the bottom opening of the discharge pipe 14;

[0040] When discharging is required, the electric push rod 17 is turned on, and the electric push rod 17 provides power to drive the discharging pipe 14 fixed to the extended end of the electric push rod 17 to move. The discharging pipe 14 is slidably connected to the support plate 16. The movement of the discharging pipe 14 drives the mounting plate 13 fixed to the discharging pipe 14 to move. The slide rail 12 guides the movement of the mounting plate 13. When the discharging pipe 14 moves to a point where it is not in contact with the discharge pipe 11, the mounting plate 13 moves with the discharging pipe 14 and closes the discharge pipe 11. The pet food can only fall into the discharging pipe 14 and will not fall into the inner cavity of the housing 1.

[0041] When the discharge pipe 14 moves to be disconnected from the support plate 16, the connection cover 15 is disconnected from the support plate 16, and the connection cover 15 rotates under the action of gravity and no longer closes the bottom opening of the discharge pipe 14. At this time, the pet food in the discharge pipe 14 falls into the feed hopper 18 under the action of gravity. The feed hopper 18 is larger than the size of the discharge pipe 14 and is located below the discharge pipe 14. The feed discharged from the discharge pipe 14 will not fall outside the feed hopper 18. Afterwards, the pet food in the feed hopper 18 falls into the feed pipe 19 under the action of gravity. The feed pipe 19 is arranged tilted, which is convenient for the pet food to be discharged into the pet bowl 10 in the support 8 through the feed pipe 19, thereby realizing the quantitative discharge of the pet food and facilitating the consumption of the pet.

[0042] Then, the electric push rod 17 provides power to drive the discharge pipe 14 to move toward the side close to the electric push rod 17. At this time, the connection cover 15 closes the bottom opening of the discharge pipe 14 under the limit of the support plate 16 until the discharge pipe 14 moves to the initial position, and the pet food falls into the discharge pipe 14 again, which is convenient for the next discharge.

[0043] When the pet moves outside the pet bowl 10 and steps on the pedal 22, the pedal 22 rotates, driving the strip plate 23 fixed to the pedal 22 to rotate, and the rotation of the strip plate 23 drives the connecting rod 24 hingedly connected to the strip plate 23 to rotate, and the rotation of the connecting rod 24 drives the swing rod 21 hingedly connected to the connecting rod 24 to rotate, and then drives the sealing plate 20 fixed to the swing rod 21 to rotate, and the sealing plate 20 rotates without closing the groove 9 and does not affect the pet's eating. When the pet finishes eating and leaves the shell 1, the pedal 22 is no longer under pressure, and the sealing plate 20 is under pressure. The pet bowl 10 is sealed by the sealing plate 20, and the pet bowl 10 is sealed by the sealing plate 20. The sealing plate 20 is used to seal the pet bowl 10, and the pet bowl 10 is sealed by the sealing plate 20. This reduces the risk of liquid dirt falling into the pet bowl 10 and contaminating the uneaten pet food, thereby improving the safety and hygiene of the device. This is the use process of the pet quantitative feeder. At the same time, the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to professional and technical personnel in this field.
