The positioning component 31 positions the food bowl body 21; the positioning housing 32 is a protective housing for the positioning component 31, and the connection between the top end of the positioning housing 32 and the food bowl body 21 enables the positioning component 31 to drive the positioning housing 32 and the food bowl body 21 to rotate in sequence.

[0034] , in the specific implementation process of Embodiment 1 of the present utility model, further, the positioning component 31 includes a driving member 311, a transmission member 312, a first gear 313, and a second gear 314 meshing with the first gear 313. The first gear 313 is connected to the driving member 311, and the second gear 314 is connected to the transmission member 312. The driving member 311 is used to drive the transmission member 312, the first gear 313, and the second gear 314; the transmission member 312 transmits the driving force and drives the rotation of the food bowl body 21.

The power supply member 42, the identification mechanism 5, the detection member 33, and the driving member 311 are all connected to the main control board 41. The main control board 41 is the control board of the entire device, and the power supply member 42 is used to supply power to the entire device; the identification mechanism 5 transmits the identified different pet information to the main control board 41, and the main control board 41 controls whether the positioning mechanism 3 works according to different pet information, and the detection member 33 feeds back the detected information to the main control board 41.

[0039] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5, in the specific implementation process of Embodiment 1 of the present utility model, further, the identification mechanism 5 is a camera 51, the camera 51 is arranged on the cover plate body 22, and the camera 51 is connected to the main control board 41. The camera 51 collects the facial features of the pet, and after being processed and analyzed by the computing power unit, different pet identities are identified, and the analysis result is fed back to the main control board 41.

[0040] The working principle of a multi-pet feeder provided by Embodiment 1 of the present utility model is as follows:

[0041] First, enter the information of the pets to be fed in advance, and then send different pet foods from the outer housing 12 into different food bowl grids in the food bowl body 21, leaving an empty food bowl grid. Then start the multi-pet feeder. When the pet approaches the base 11 and puts its head into the insertion port 121, the camera 51 identifies the information of the current pet and feeds back the pet information to the main control board 41. If the current pet is not the corresponding pet, the main control board 41 controls the positioning component 31, and the positioning component 31 drives the food bowl body 21 to rotate, so that the empty food bowl grid rotates to the insertion port 121, and the pet cannot eat; if the current pet is the corresponding pet, the main control board 41 controls the driving part 311 in the positioning component 31 to start, and drives the first gear 313 and the second gear 314 to mesh by using the driving part 311. At the same time, the driving part 311 drives the transmission part 312 to rotate, and the transmission part 312 drives the food bowl body 21 to rotate through the transmission housing 32, and the detection part 33 detects the current rotation angle in real time. When the corresponding food bowl grid rotates to the insertion port 121, the current pet eats through the notch 221, and the feeding process is completed.

[0042] Embodiment 2

[0043] A multi-pet feeder provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention is similar in structure to the multi-pet feeder provided in Embodiment 1, the difference being:

[0044] See Figures 6 to 8 , in the specific implementation process of Embodiment 2 of the present utility model, further, the identification mechanism 5 is an induction coil 52, the induction coil 52 is located at the insertion port 121, and the induction coil 52 is connected to the main control board 41. The induction coil 52 is arranged at the insertion port 121, and only forms an identification area at the insertion port 121, and its normal line points to the direction in which the insertion port 121 is open, so that pets can be accurately identified and the misidentification rate can be reduced at the same time.

[0045] Specifically, the induction coil in Embodiment 2 of the present utility model is set as an RFID induction coil.

[0046] The working principle of a multi-pet feeder provided by Embodiment 2 of the present utility model is as follows:

[0047] First, input the information of the pets to be fed in advance, attach an RFID sensing chip to the corresponding pet, and then put different pet foods into different food bowl grids in the food bowl body 21 from the outer housing 12, leaving an empty food bowl grid. Then start the multi-pet feeder. When a pet approaches the base 11 and puts its head into the insertion port 121, the RFID sensing coil near the insertion port 121 identifies the information of the current pet and feeds back the pet information to the main control board 41. If the current pet is not the corresponding pet, the main control board 41 controls the positioning component 31, and the positioning component 31 drives the food bowl body 21 to rotate, so that the empty food bowl grid rotates to the insertion port 121, and the pet cannot eat; if the current pet is the corresponding pet, the main control board 41 controls the driving part 311 in the positioning component 31 to start, and drives the first gear 313 and the second gear 314 to mesh with the driving part 311. At the same time, the driving part 311 drives the transmission part 312 to rotate, and the transmission part 312 drives the food bowl body 21 to rotate through the transmission housing 32, and the detection part 33 detects the current rotation angle in real time. When the corresponding food bowl grid rotates to the insertion port 121, the current pet eats through the notch 221 to complete the feeding process.

[0048] In summary, in the present utility model, the feeding mechanism 2 is arranged above the positioning mechanism 3, and the positioning mechanism 3 drives the feeding mechanism 2 to rotate, so that the corresponding pet can accurately eat the corresponding pet food; at least two food bowl grids are arranged on the food bowl body 21 in the present utility model, so that the multi-pet feeder can feed different pets; an insertion port 121 is arranged on the outer housing 12 in the present utility model, avoiding other pets from grabbing food; at the same time, the present utility model uses the control mechanism 4 to cooperate with the camera 51 or the sensing coil 52, and can accurately identify different pets, reducing the misidentification rate; the structure of the present utility model is simple and the price is cheap, which is worthy of being vigorously promoted and used.

[0049] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
