As an important tool in pet breeding, the performance and function of pet feeders directly affect the health and quality of life of pets. Pets of different species, ages, and health conditions have their own unique needs for food intake. For example, the digestive system of young pets is not fully developed during their growth, and they need a slow and steady feeding flow rate to ensure that the food can be fully digested and absorbed. Elderly pets may have reduced chewing and swallowing abilities due to a decline in physical function, and they also need to be fed at an appropriate flow rate to avoid digestive problems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application; obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments, and all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0028] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5An adjustable flow rate electric feeder comprises a feeder body 1, a feeding port 3 is provided on one side of the feeder body 1, a top cover 2 is provided on the top of the feeder body 1, a quantitative component is provided inside the feeder body 1, a material discharge channel 4 is provided inside the feeder body 1, and a flow rate regulating component is provided inside the material discharge channel 4;
[0029] The flow rate regulating component includes an interface 5 , which is located inside the feeding channel 4 . An adjusting frame 6 is provided at the bottom of the interface 5 . A moving block 7 is provided inside the adjusting frame 6 . The moving block 7 is used to control the flow rate of the feeder body 1 .
[0030] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 , the number of interfaces 5 and adjustment frames 6 are set to two, each interface 5 is respectively connected to the corresponding adjustment frame 6, the outer wall of each adjustment frame 6 is provided with a feeding hole 14, the bottom size of each moving block 7 is the same as the internal size of the corresponding adjustment frame 6, the outer wall of each moving block 7 is inclined, the bottom of each moving block 7 is fixedly connected with a telescopic rod 12, each telescopic rod 12 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the corresponding adjustment frame 6, the outer wall of each telescopic rod 12 is sleeved with a spring 13, one side of each moving block 7 is connected with a connecting rod 8, each adjustment frame 6 and one side of the feeding channel 4 are provided with a through opening 9, one end of the two connecting rods 8 are fixedly connected with a connecting plate 10, one side of the feeding channel 4 is fixedly connected with an electric push rod 11, and the output end of the electric push rod 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 10.
[0031] The flow rate regulating component can be used to adjust the flow rate of feed according to the situation of the pet. The specific operation method is that when the flow rate of feed needs to be adjusted, the electric push rod 11 is started, and the output end of the electric push rod 11 pushes the connecting plate 10, and the connecting plate 10 drives the two connecting rods 8 to move. The movement of the connecting rod 8 causes the moving block 7 connected thereto to move in the adjusting frame 6. The moving block 7 moves in the adjusting frame 6, resulting in a change in the position of the moving block 7 in the adjusting frame 6, which will change the size of the feeding hole 14 on the adjusting frame 6, thereby changing the size of the space for the feed to pass through. When the moving block 7 moves to the bottom of the adjusting frame 6, the space for the feed to pass through increases, and the flow rate increases; conversely, when the moving block 7 moves to the top of the adjusting frame 6, the space for the feed to pass through decreases, and the flow rate slows down. The telescopic rod 12 and the spring 13 at the bottom play a role in assisting movement and resetting, ensuring that the movement of the moving block 7 is stable and accurate.
[0032] The flow rate adjustment component can accurately adjust the feed flow rate according to the special needs of each pet, such as age, health status, appetite, etc., to achieve a personalized feeding plan. The flow rate can be adjusted according to the pet's digestive ability to avoid eating too fast or too slow, which helps to improve the efficiency of food digestion and absorption and reduce the occurrence of digestive problems. The amount of each feeding can be controlled more accurately to prevent the pet from overeating or undereating, which helps to maintain the pet's healthy weight. The versatility and applicability of the feeder body 1 are improved, so that the pet can eat in a more comfortable and natural way, improve the experience during feeding, and reduce anxiety or resistance caused by eating discomfort.
[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 The quantitative component includes a rotating rod 15, a plurality of partition plates 16 are provided on the outer wall of the rotating rod 15, a motor 17 is provided at the bottom of the rotating rod 15, and the bottom end of the rotating rod 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 17. A feeding port 18 is provided at the top of the feeder body 1, and the inner wall of the feeding port 18 is inclined. A discharge port 19 is provided on one side of the rotating rod 15, and the discharge port 19 and the feeding port 18 are staggered.
[0034] The quantitative component can be used to feed according to the set quantitative amount. The specific operation method is to start the motor 17, and the output end of the motor 17 drives the rotating rod 15 to rotate, and the multiple partition plates 16 on the outer wall of the rotating rod 15 rotate accordingly. Since the inner wall of the feeding port 18 is inclined and the discharge port 19 is staggered with the feeding port 18, the feed falls from the feeding port 18 into the partition space of the rotating rod 15. As the rotating rod 15 rotates, the quantitative feed is driven by the partition plate 16 and transported to the discharge channel 4, thereby realizing quantitative feeding.
[0035] The quantitative component can accurately distribute the amount of feed for each feeding, avoiding overeating or undereating of pets, helping to maintain a healthy diet for pets, avoiding feed waste due to lack of quantitative control, and reducing feeding costs. Feeding according to the set quantitative amount helps to cultivate good eating habits and regular eating and rest schedules for pets, and can flexibly adjust the quantitative amount according to the different growth stages, health conditions and activity levels of pets to meet their nutritional needs.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 A power source 20 is provided inside the feeder body 1, and a food bowl 21 is provided on one side of the feeding port 3.
[0037] Working principle: when the flow rate of feed needs to be adjusted, the electric push rod 11 is started, and the output end of the electric push rod 11 pushes the connecting plate 10, and the connecting plate 10 drives the two connecting rods 8 to move. The movement of the connecting rod 8 makes the moving block 7 connected thereto move in the adjusting frame 6. The moving block 7 moves in the adjusting frame 6, resulting in a change in the position of the moving block 7 in the adjusting frame 6, which will change the size of the feed outlet hole 14 on the adjusting frame 6, thereby changing the size of the space for the feed to pass through. When the moving block 7 moves to the bottom of the adjusting frame 6, the space for the feed to pass through increases, and the flow rate increases; conversely, when the moving block 7 moves to the top of the adjusting frame 6, the space for the feed to pass through decreases, and the flow rate slows down. The telescopic rod 12 and the spring 13 at the bottom play a role in assisting movement and resetting, ensuring that the movement of the moving block 7 is stable and accurate.
[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
